Lots of people also died to make sure that we have the right to organize our workplaces, a right that’s just as much enshrined in law as voting:

Their sacrifice wasn’t any less important or necessary to the expansion of the democracy in the United States. In fact, it was this “bringing politics to the work” that provided the means for workers having real representation for them in government in the first place.
Strong opinions, naievely held?

The world is a lot more nuanced than your vitriolic labelling of it. Be tolerant!
This comparison resonated with me especially once I've learned how "deep" political views are, similar to religious views. Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind" is about this. Preaching politics in the workplace will scratch the same nerves that preaching religion will - deeply held beliefs that can cause strong reactions to people who agree or disagree with them.
If you compare it to its more sparsely populated immediate neighbors, sure, Sweden looks bad.

If you compare it to UK, France, Spain, Italy, who all did a severe lockdown, Sweden does not look bad.
Ahh. Didnt know. So what about st patrick driving out the snakes?
> Some would call political activism on your employer's dime theft.

That's probably true, but they would be wrong. The fact that some people would say incorrect things is not a strong argument.
This is impossible. When the very technology you work on is employed in entirely political ways (i.e. dragonfly), you cannot separate work from the world.
Not participating in morally abhorrent behaviour is admirable and really important. The problem, I think, is when people put it on themselves to police other’s behaviour.
The hosts should pay.

If one has something to say one can host it. Hosting a small website yourself cost peanuts and simple websites should cover most non commercial use.

The walled gardens are killing the independent small scale websites. Facebook and Reddit essentially are eating every community site and those doesn't make much admoney anyway.
> Your company should be 100% political activists...

You don't really have a company at that point anymore.
I think you'd need to add at least a few more architectures to the list. I for one am actively intending on using AVR and Xtensa (for arduino and esp32 support). And RISC-V probably ought to be in there as an architecture of the future.

Why only focus on the main polluter and not... all of the sources? They all have to be cut back to zero asap.
I'd argue that a lot of engineering disasters could/should have been avoided by adhering to standard safety practices and engineering ethics. This is very germane to the work/mission of the business and has little to do with the sorts of external political activism that Coinbase is trying to eschew.
Freight should be done more by rail. It’s way more efficient to ship by rail, and easier to electrify. Our heavy usage of semi trucks is partially due to the hidden subsidy that semi trucks get via road maintenance, where semi trucks don’t pay anywhere near enough gas tax to offset the damage they do. EV trucks will be worse.

Generally speaking, the solution for car troubles is to reduce the scope that cars and trucks are used to solve transit problems. Road damage due to semi trucks? Build more freight rail! Inner city congestion? Add a subway! Long commutes? Build more housing, and if that doesn’t work add dedicated commuter rails. Too much air traffic? Offset local flights onto high speed rail to free up room for long distance flights.
I was actually looking into this last week. All original 68k CPUs appeared to be well beyond end of life and the only source appeared recycled chips from China.

But there are modern NXP coldfire parts. The CPU core is mostly binary compatible with 68k, just with some legacy instructions removed.

Coldfire SOCs clock up to about 400mhz and have support for modern devices like ethernet and usb.

The problem with activism is that most people engage in easy to grab fast food activism served to them by the oligarchical msm.

The social justice actions by google was nothing less than a coup of the United States. Hence the reason I was forced to sacrifice my career to the blow the whistle.

I've worked on the east coast for the early half of my career, and no company has ever mentioned "making a positive change in the world" as a pitch for the job. I was hired to fix bugs and connect two API layers to each other so that a set top box could ship or so we could release the next version of a display driver. There was plenty of political diversity in the office: people from all across the political spectrum. Yet, we all worked together fine, and you almost never heard an actual political argument. Occasionally it would come up as a polite conversation at lunchtime. The rare minute it got heated, someone would maturely step in and say, hey, guys, let's get back to work and put it aside, and that was that. This is in stark contrast to the stories you hear out of west coast tech companies today! How have we managed to screw this up so badly?

A manufacturer had to have a relationship with carriers to move enough product to make its prices affordable even off-carrier. Manufacturers who couldn’t sell through carriers were effectively made uncompetitive by the carrier cartel, that also resulted in a number of other restrictions (how one can pay for stuff etc). In this sense, as I wrote elsewhere, Apple strong-arming ATT was a big step forward; but it also took legislation on this side of the pond to force carriers to play nice with unlockings, there was no chance the market would self-correct.

Which takes me to the second point: the market alone often does not self-correct. This is why we have antitrust laws and authorities to enforce them. People lack the education to be able to reason about “voting with their wallet” in an effective way; and even when they do, they often don’t have the resources to follow through. This is why contract bundles are so popular, despite the fact that they make handset more expensive overall: people can’t do math, and when they do they still often lack the cash reserves to buy a handset in one go rather than paying small instalments for a long time. If a market fails, it’s legitimate for the law to step in; and one indication of failure is the level of discontent from consumers.

There is a team taking advantage (jailbreaking on iOS) of the security flaw in all A-series chips up to A11 in the hardware-level bootloader. The T2 in your 2018 or newer Mac is a variant of the A10.

The bootROM flaw allows for an exploit that can only be executed with physical access, another Mac and DFU mode. It's not persistent.

The main use of this exploit was to install unsigned code on iOS devices (jailbreaking.) The team is doing it for free, however many contributors take advantage of Apple's bug bounty program for income, therefore making newer devices more secure.

It means conforming your speech to current political trends.
Do you realize broadcast TV is free, and it is profit oriented. In Britain, bbc is funded by direct tv taxes from people who own television sets and for years no private broadcast company was allowed because they wished to prevent the spread of commercial propaganda through the airwaves. The American model of advertisement funded broadcast proved them wrong and American broadcast industry grew by bounds and leaps while the British were stunted despite the television set being invented in Britain.
I have a lot of friends who voted Trump in 2016. Engaging with them was valuable and helped me gain perspective.

I have none who will be voting for him in 2020, because those who still support him in this extreme have nothing to say.

There is a difference between "political differences" and "ambivalence regarding an attempted coup", and anyone who can't see that is dangerously naive.
I suspect your comment isn't really being offered in good faith, but can you name a specific example of a company where a coworker did one of these things:

> leak documents, raise alarms about operations they don't understand, and generally draw the company into litigation

and it was actually a case of misguided political activism rather than legitimate whistleblowing? I suppose maybe in slaughterhouses or animal testing laboratories, but definitely not with tech.

> In a highly sensitive market like crypto, you don't want to gain unnecessary regulatory attention, and activists like this will be the first to testify against the company with their biased interpretation of internal operations.

It is very difficult to not read this as "sometimes crypto companies need to break the law to make that cheddar, and you really don't want any of these radical 'companies should obey the law' activists getting in your way."
There's a couple of answers here. The big one is that if you're here illegally, you already know you have limited (though not zero!) recourse to the law, so you're willing to take illegal jobs - jobs that pay below minimum wage, jobs that are cheaper for the employer because safety standards are being ignored, etc. Immigration law is one way in which the law regulates the labor market; labor law itself is also part of it, and if we're going to talk about upholding the law, let's take both into account. If we were to include significantly more migrant workers under legal immigration, they would have effective access to the protections of labor law, which means they have less room to undercut US citizens.

They'd also have more access to jobs that tend to effectively require work authorization. You can pay a fellow in cash to work on your roof without going through E-Verify; you can't quite easily pay a fellow in cash to work at a major fast food chain or drive a school bus or be an SRE at a thousand-person tech firm or whatever. So increasing legal immigration may have the effect of reducing the labor supply for house and farm work.

More generally, the economy is a complex thing, and each change you make has many effects. The wage for roofers is determined by both supply (number of potential roofers) and demand - if more people live here, there are quite literally more roofs. While I'm not saying this by itself is likely to save the roofing-labor market, I do think that there are likely broader effects from increasing our pool of legal immigrants besides the most obvious one of depressing wages, and we should look at more than just the extremely short term.

And in the long term, if population growth keeps up, the pool of unskilled labor with domestic work authorization is going to go up on its own. If our economy/society can't handle that, we should be figuring out how to address that anyway.

(This is all a bit orthogonal to dismantling ICE - I do agree that having an underclass of laborers without equal protection under the laws is bad for everyone. I just don't think that ICE is a morally justifiable solution to that problem. We should create more "proper pathways" for people to become documented residents and authorized workers, but until we do so, I don't think having ICE around makes things better.)
would some steps like blocking 3rd party cookies, social media trackers, cross-site tracking cookies, fingerprinters help to thwart most of such tracking stuff ?

A part of me feels like "in the 21st century, why do I need a travel agent". Then again, maybe we all actually do need travel agents again.

I have recently built a simple 8085 computer on a breadboard and finding a working and open-source C compiler was a huge challenge. Finally I found this one: https://github.com/ncb85/SmallC-85 but it supports ancient K&R C syntax, without such goodies like subscript operator or character literals. Still I prefer ancient C than ancient assembly language.

On the other hand there is Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) project that provides a decent compiler for Z80 CPU. There is also cc65 for 6502 CPUs.

The strangest thing is that Free Pascal seems to support 68k out of the box (https://www.freepascal.org/) and also AVR and bunch of other archs.
> Programmers, for better or worse, do not have the same issues.

I think they do, and we generally expect everyone to behave that way, but we're making it very explicit for doctors and lawyers and some other professions. Of course, it's not as immediate when you're dealing with programmers, but viewing the economy not as a total war with temporary alliances between buyers and sellers but as a way to get things done with the market place being the most efficient way to do so (which, I believe, is the more appropriate way, and it's also the way we look at it from the nation state perspective which will happily disable the market place in times of war or catastrophic events), discriminating with regards to politics when selling your services is throwing sand in the machine.

It's not outlawed for many professions (but usually is once you have a monopoly in some location), but it's neither wide-spread, nor encouraged or accepted, I believe.
Thank you for the perspective here. A wish there was a way to bookmark comments on HN..
It's not just luck because it's talent plus savviness plus the ability to spin your story. Sure, luck factors in but as anyone with a success story will tell you, it's never just luck unless you're talking about the lottery.
Perhaps instead of Tim meaning that its impossible for Apple to have a service outage, he was instead talking about the incredibly unrealistic things that were happening in the video. 1 guy accidentally unplugs 1 cable and brings all of Apple down, which results in applications closing out on everyone's devices and the apps just start magically uninstalling themselves.
Yes they had a terrible phase early on.

The stories now is about how they've gone to almost no cases the last few months.
I see it ALL of the time. I am not sure if it is due to Safari and ITP blocking whatever protection tracking stuff Cloudflare does, or because my DNS is routed through AWS vs some other provider (as I am on a split tunnel VPN, and need to resolve internal DNS entries).

It's frustrating, especially when I open a couple of tabs on the same site after Googling a particular problem.
Take two apps and switch their icons without the owner knowing it. Or put the same icon for every app. Make the icon even offensive. Then it becomes a bug.
I give a significant portion of my income to local community organizations to support education, housing, and social equity.

However, I believe philanthropy is not a scalable solution to systemic issues. People tend to pay for causes that make them feel good, which doesn't line up with what actually needs to be solved. I strongly believe that we need to get everyone contributing to societal maintenance, rather than relying on people opting in.
I seem to recall the OpenBSD folks deliberately keeping around uncommon and old architectures in part because compiling and running on those old architectures flushes out bugs. So, from that perspective, your regression tests failing on legacy hobbyist platforms is a good thing.

Or maybe I was misunderstanding the point of Theo's post back in 2014 around the discussion of their power bill[1].

Rather than going through this convoluted kinda similar problem, I find it easier to stick to the original one.

Get a piece of paper. Draw all possible outcomes, 9 total. ( Car is behind door 1 you pick 1, Car is behind door 1 you pick 2...). 3 of the 9 result in success.

Now draw the outcomes again but switch every time. 6 out of 9 outcomes are a success.
Well, from a business perspective this is no less than very impressive. Was he just a heck of a lucky guy? I don't know, luck is everywhere now, but the guy was pretty aware of the steps his product was taking and was able to react accordingly to maximize revenue... that's the secret.
Some architectures are useful even if one can already tell they are probably not the future. For FreeBSD, sparc64 was important, because you could get multiprocessor sparc64 machines easier (cheaper) than x86 with the same CPU count, even if they were slower; this made it possible to do work on scalability sooner. Now the same is happening with POWER9/10.

Makes sense. XP was released in 2002 and took years of work before the release.

A good chunk of languages we take for granted today did not exist at that time, or were in the very first release. Perl came out in 1987, it was quite the thing in the late 90s.
Are there efforts to do this for 8-bit processors such as the Z80? Famously they are not very suited for compiling C to because of the limited number of registeres, but LLVM does aggressive register allocation that might make it practical.

Edit: Z80 is 8-bit, not 16-bit.
3.3v and 1.2v are probably the most common these days but there are other voltages in use. Lower power usage, less heat and smaller packaging are the main drivers for lower voltages.
Your logic is sound: politics are a distraction, so offices where politics are put aside will be more productive. But I know a lot of VERY smart people who wouldn’t sign up for that workplace. Especially if there are social and political ramifications to the product being built or the customers being served (there almost always are - hence the cliche “making the world a better place” goal of any startup).
Perhaps religious believers should be free to proselytize their faith at work. It might not be the most effective venue to do it at, but why should they be forbidden from following their conscience?
In theory, I would agree with the sentiment of not bringing politics to work, but this is 2020. We have Nazis marching in the streets. We have algorithms that don't "work" on brown people because they were built by and for white people. In practice, I've found that "no politics" at work means "let us be racist in peace".
You can use favorites for this feature.
The name of that site makes its partisanship pretty clear.
And their numbers are going back up. And their economy was the worst performing among their comparable neighbors. It makes no sense at all because for a few weeks their case numbers are lower.

And even if they remain, say 50% of what their neighbors’ case loads are, their response will still have been worse in outcomes because we know much more about how to handle COVID which has led to significantly better results for people who get it today vs a few months ago.

Even if the total number of cases are exactly the same, having those cases later is a huge win in itself.
Neither of these are what the poster was saying. If you want to pursue a victimhood complex, I'll let you be.

Another "big issue" (for me as I develop first on FF) is that Firefox developers refused to implement HTML import. That'd simplify much of using web-components. I include it and the browser can automatically use HTTP2 to load all the components quickly.

It'd be interesting to see how much web-components could be pushed using only CSS via things like the "space toggle" trick (https://github.com/propjockey/css-sweeper). Though I guess that couldn't emit events and the like.
Perhaps he is doing this with the worst of intentions, so therefore this will become one of the best things in history.

Creator of the spartapride.org website here! Crazy to see my name pop up in a hackernews post!

This was actually a case of being too tech savy. When I setup spartapride I had all my tracker blockers on and because of that disqus was not loading (hence the like 30 more trackers not loading)

Needless to say the nice people at themarkup contacted me and we had a nice interview/talk.

I allowed the discus tracker through and saw the other 30 being loaded and was just like, "Yep.. that's not worth it" and I ended up removing discus from the site. :)

Lesson learned.

Ok, sure, so here's a valid argument from you - roughly, "why is Starlink allowed to double the number of objects in earth orbit?"

But, you follow it up with an unjustified comment - "with relatively large solar panels/bodies". Can you expand on this? Are these things an order of magnitude larger than the median tracked object? A factor of two?

Finally, you make a comment that doesn't follow for me:

> which by virtue of their area alone can be expected to be more visible

Is it not true that angling solar panels away from the earth to minimize the "area" relative to a ground observer is trivially accomplished?

And, also, already not really knowing the size of objects in space, I find it hard to accept that they are such significantly larger objects that they take up more of the sky. Please expand on why they are so much larger or perhaps fly so much closer to earth or perhaps have such limited maneuverability that I should be concerned.
