> Amnesty says its bank accounts have been frozen and it's been forced to lay off staff in the country, and suspend all its campaign and research work.

A good chunk of the reported charges by the organization revolve around access to funds and the use of the banking system.

It's probably no coincidence that the Indian government has been relentless in its attempts to force the country to abandon banknotes and move to electronic payments routed through the banking system.

Doing so gives the government the practical ability to bring organizations working against it to heel.

This is a pattern that will play out over an over around the world as governments force their countries to abandon physical cash.
The reason I got into tech was to minimize or avoid this because I figured I would be around people who were passionate about tech and like building things.... but I'm starting to realize that it's possibly the worst in tech of all.
These bromides need to be qualified to be of much use. How much reduction? How much money and what kind of housing? What are interesting, meaningful activities that can be prescribed by some central authority in these circumstances? Those are the difficult public policies that need to be worked on.

For example, I'm not so sure that giving folks a small welfare check and putting them in highly subsidized public housing projects is the best solution. I'm sure it does reduce poverty and homelessness with some, but does it also increase unemployment and alcoholism? I don't claim to know the answer, but it's worth exploring. Perhaps a UBI is the answer? Just giving away condoms seems less effective than also creating educational programs. There are plenty of alcoholics with interesting things to do, maybe there is more than just lack of resources at play?
Apple doesn’t even have 60% market share in the US. Android has 86% worldwide. They are no where near a monopoly like Standard Oil or Bell.

Google is purely Ad company and is worth a trillion. Here is your context and reasoning, combined.

There are two ways to disable this:

- Remove the “TV” app from the top bar.
- You can change the behavior from the “Settings” app to show your “TV” app’s watch queue instead of trailers.

You can’t disable the Music app videos, though.

Problematic to whom, to me, you or the general public? I have a casual interest in how music production works but don't plan to do anything serious in it.
I like to dabble around a bit and if I like what I make I am happy.
There is no expectation that what I make will appeal to others, but if anyone likes something, I am happy too.

I don't think this tool will make a good music producer or composer out of someone but if it helps, what's the harm?
> You could do something else with that.

Perhaps I am.

The status quo ("democracy", sanctions, "diplomatic talks") is what got us into this position in the first place. It's how the game is played.

What does the good fight consist of?
My experience is focused on finding people over water, but a lot of the tools will be the same. Using NVGs if we're at night to pick up any sort of light, our electro optical sensor that has thermal imaging capability, and good old fashioned headwork for guessing where a survivor might be located over terrain. A helicopter isn't always going to be the only airborne search asset, so it's possible to imagine a fixed wing search asset locating a survivor, and then a jetpack medic getting to them to provide triage care. The economics of search and rescue are really tricky, and it's expensive to maintain such a specialized capability with a profit motive in mind. I don't know the specifics of the UKs SAR system, but I am pretty sure they have a civilian organization running their maratime search and rescue, but I don't know if the bill is footed entirely by the government. Was your economics question about the jet pack or helicopter based search and rescue?
What kills me is that the only app that I actually engage with ads is an app that has a voluntary button to see ads to support the developer. You click the 'watch ad' button, you watch a 15 second ad, or see a banner ad, and then return to the app when you close the screen.

The app asks once per month if I would consider seeing an ad to support the developer. I usually watch one ad a day, as a rule, because it's the best way to do this. I've clicked on those ads, and have actually made purchases from those ads (it was for a product I was already researching and probably going to buy, but I clicked through the ad when I finally purchased it).

More apps need that level of respect for their users' time.
Nowadays there is a canonical serialization for XML. Not sure if all tools support it though.
It's incredibly sad that it's even possible to bid for the top spot above a competitors trademark. The worst blow to the health of the web was likely google's merger with doubleclick.net.

Google has devolved into a shitty search engine even ignoring the advertising. Someone please build a search engine comparable to google in the mid-2000s. No duckduckgo isn't it.

Most games on Epic Store are available on other stores too. How walled is this? And how much do they get for InApp-Income of the apps? Do they enforce it like Apple and Google?

Sometime (or often?) they have a time-exclusive offer for new games, but it seems they pay good money for this, so it's a simple business-descision for the gamedevs.

Managing how others manage money has it's own cost. I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of the assistance budget was allocated to making sure receivers spent it "the right way."

Between the applications, compliance, debit card fees, reimbursement schemes, and a completely separate financial network, that money is sucked out of a system supposedly designed to supposedly help people with money issues.

Let's put your vague hand-waving under the lens. The list of countries with whom Amnesty International are "in trouble" on that page: DRC, PRC, Russia, Sri Lanka, USA (regarding Guantanamo Bay), Vatican (regarding a neutral stance on abortion), Israel, Syria, Iran.

This sounds like AI are doing their jobs.
> Idol-worshippers like Hindus are considered beastly and low-life. So don't expect foreigners..

How do you "check the realities" on these claims about foreigners?
> Hinduism is based on the vedic books which advocate varna system

You are wrong. The Vedas have nothing to do with the varna (caste) system. The caste system came much later and they have nothing to do with the foundations of Hinduism. There are several sects of Hinduism which explicitly reject the caste system. Look up Arya Samaj etc.

I have a feeling have I wasted my time in engaging with facts for someone whose mind is already made up about my faith.
There are new skilled trades coming up now. My friend is a robotics welder. Unlike a traditional welder, he does most of his work from a computer terminal. He programs the robot to weld a specific joint and then the robot repeats that weld for every part that comes through his station on the line.

The old guard of skilled welders who did the welding by hand are being replaced (and not happy about it) by young guys like him. My friend learned his job through a 3-year program at the local community college. His job involves a lot less of the tacit knowledge a skilled welder would have (judging the quality of a joint by feel) and a lot more theoretical knowledge of metallurgy. Instead of intuitive judgement, he relies on the methods of nondestructive (x-ray scanning) and destructive (cutting a test weld in half and inspecting it under an electron microscope) testing.

'#1 .....Have a pricing page! If you can't share exact pricing for some reason, try one of these alternative approaches...'

If there is some reason why you're coy about pricing then I assume you are making things up as you go along. I also assume you'll make promises you can not deliver on.

If it really is the most sought after info, by a long way, then one would be a fool to omit it.
The only reasonable application of "minimal" is for it to be a cross-cutting description. To describe something as "minimal" without qualification while focusing only on any single quality is not a good use of the term.
To European eyes, the delays on that journey (which the author dismisses with a shrug) are outrageous. Arriving an hour late at one stop, then 1h40m late to the next -- 93 miles away per google -- is ridiculous! You'd only get those sort of delays if there'd been a fatal accident on the line, or downed overhead power cables, or a similar major disruption, and the carrier would be issuing refunds and apologizing. Even here in the UK.

Also, a nominal hour to cover 93 miles by rail, and just three trains a week, is just laughable. That's a tourism charter service, not a transport network.

It's no wonder Americans don't think in terms of rail travel as mass transport. If you can't run trains like commuter planes, something's badly wrong.
Mid-air, exactly like Amazon's
Unless you care at all about how long it takes you to get somewhere.

I've taken the train from central Pennsylvania to NYC several times. It's great, but it's also a hike and not something you want to do for anything shorter than a long weekend (4 days is perfect, especially if you can do Fri-Mon as the Sunday train is usually very full). I did it once for a Sat/Sun trip and you just spend too much time on the train watching a movie or staring out the window.

Study finds people have short-lived immunity to seasonal coronaviruses
Exactly, these problems have solutions. It is about political will.
The Obama Administration tried to build high speed rail from Chicago to Madison, WI. It was supposed to be the first segment that would eventually extend to the twin cities. They have $700M dedicated to it. Then WI had an election for governor, and the incoming Republican (Scott Walker) managed to somehow conflate high speed inter-city rail with 'light rail' and scrapped it. He claimed it was too expensive, since the state would have to spend $7Million or so each year for their part of the maintenance (even though the feds were going to fully fund construction). After Scrapping it, the State then had to pay $90Million to upgrade the tracks between Chicago and Milwaukee (that was going to be paid for) and then had to pay $40M for the high speed Talgo Trains. Plus, Talgo moved their US headquarters from Milwaukee to Chicago.

So? tech debt is tech debt and it's a bear regardless.

I don't know why you're being so aggressive with the gotchas, but if you think it's impossible to objectively measure engineer quality I don't know what to tell you and I wish you good luck in your hiring and career growth.
Ansible was sold to RedHat few years ago.

Chef was sold for scrap earlier this month. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24407323

Puppet took $40M in debt in July. I don't think they are sellable because they had a high valuation and now a ton of debt, while the product is on a strong downward trend replaced by ansible/terraform. My guess is they get enough revenues from a few large customers to sustain a small-medium company.
I hear it in every discussion, yet I'm still waiting for any of my SD cards to fail. I've had the same rpi0 for 3 years as CCTV with motiond (motion detector). Recording all activity from my window, filling the card in 100% and removing all recorded data, every 2 days, no errors, no failure. I no longer need that CCTV so using the rpi, with the same SD card, as IPFS node.

To Spend or Not to Spend Your Bitcoins, That Is the Question You Need to Answer
You can’t force someone to give notice at all, or work for weeks or months after they’ve decided to leave. Two weeks seems like the most common interval. Some people get walked out immediately, some might stay for a couple of months to ease the transition. It’s case by case and negotiable.
This is such a fantastic way to store my notes! Thanks a lot!
It definitely did work for me. I've always exercised and eaten healthy food but haven't found any other way to stay at a comfortable weight all of the time.

Initially I didn't eat until noon for a few months. I went from 165 pounds to 135 and lost some strength. (I'm male and 5'6" tall). When I switched to eating at 10:30 or 11:00, I went back up to 145 and am about as strong as I was at 165. I've now stayed within about 4 pounds of 145 for a whole year, which is unprecedented for me. I'm mostly vegan but make a point of getting 20 grams of protein per meal and of eating soon after exercising. I don't have a cutoff time at night, I eat late if I'm hungry.
so many things wrong here.

I assume they made the letters one row because of how sensitive the touch pad is on the remote. For example, when picking a show on Netflix I constantly go down a row when I am just trying to go right on a column. I assume keeping the letters on one axis is a not so great work around.
It's a cold hard fact of life that things are expensive.

Our ancestors were able to afford things in the year 1900 by building them themselves. They often lived on free farmland, worked the land to grow their food, had one pair of clothes, had no need for transportation or entertainment expenses. If you got sick or there was a drought, well...

Then in the 1950s suddenly Americans were able to afford everything with just a basic job. Wife, house, car, kids. However in Germany and Japan at the same time, a family was precisely able to afford dirt.

Gradually, as this imbalance has rightfully been corrected through economic competition, we Americans have just been crying about all the luxuries we can't afford anymore.
> Apple doesn’t even have 60% market share in the US.

They have over 50% market share though. They're by far the largest smartphone manufacturer in the US. And they also get the vast majority of app developer revenue, much more than the Google Play Store.

> Android has 86% worldwide.

Worldwide market share is not necessarily relevant to US law.

> They are no where near a monopoly like Standard Oil or Bell.

This isn't actually required by antitrust law.
> It is the same publication that cannot complete any ISRO/Science related article without highlighting first how poor india is!

That's ad hominem. If you have a specific point mention that. If the only document you will accept is from RSS mouthpieces then there is no point in the conversation.
(Author here) I agree with that conclusion. I think they're really fun to implement and explore. I've been working in the area for a decade. And I've implemented over a dozen variants of OT systems by now. And despite all that I still consistently make mistakes that are only found with a fuzzer. Even thorough unit testing is never quite enough.

I recommend implementing them for the fun of it. I love it. But don't put anything you write into production until you can leave a randomized test suite running overnight without errors.

Example:

Random op generator: https://github.com/ottypes/text-unicode/blob/master/test/gen...

Which powers this fuzzer: https://github.com/ottypes/fuzzer/blob/master/lib/index.js
Pretty cool! https://WakaTime.com also tracks build times, but as an Xcode plugin instead of desktop app.
If you talk to a social worker, you will be made aware that those in poverty likely cannot spend their own money wisely.

There may be a rare exception, but there's a reason people are in poverty, and it's related to their money habits or addictions.

I don't have a solution, but considering that 100% of money will go to drugs/gambling or 50% of the money goes to administration and 50% goes to living expenses- it sounds reasonable.
If it works it works :)

Do we have any evidence Samsung TV sales have taken a hit from these measures?
The reason that consoles are not accepted as a general purpose platform is because the manufacturers have gone even farther than phone manufacturers in locking them down. Consoles are just computers with gaming-oriented operating systems.
Here’s the thing: each element needs to know what type its children are. Does it contain only text nodes, or can it contain elements? You can’t just put markup in a place that’s only equipped to handle text and expect it to do anything but explode in interesting ways. (“Interesting” as in “may you live in interesting times”.)

The same can be applied to other formats like JSON and YAML: if it contains only text, use a string, otherwise use an array of strings or objects of some defined structure. Here’s one possible representation:

{
"tag": [
"This text node contains ",
{"magic": "unicorns"},
" and ",
{"magic": "fairy dust"},
"."
]
}

So I don’t consider what you describe to be a benefit of XML at all, except inasmuch as its syntax can be subjectively a little prettier.
A lot of people are pointing out that you are only including gas costs, but they are also ignoring the fact that cars get you precisely where you want to go. Trains only get you into the city you are going.
I think a better (less cynical) way of interpreting that is this:

Jobs which require a belief to perform sincerely, select people who hold that belief sincerely.

This principle should undo a lot of cynicism. Yes, eg., people in marketing often "really believe" their efforts are a net-positive, and no it isn't often, "mere cynicism" on their part.

Rather, what has happened, is that most who view marketing cynically, do not take a job in it.

We often misidentify this process of selecting for sincerity as a psychological-reality in those who are selected. Marketers "make money through cynical means" whilst sincerely believing they don't.
I'm a SaaS buyer, and you correctly made Pricing the #1 thing. You don't even need to put the price, just the ballpark helps understand if a solution makes sense, especially for smaller companies with tight budgets.

So much time I've wasted on demos and at the end the price is so far apart from expectation we could have saved the time. Even if something is too expensive, knowing the general price tag allows you to keep the project in your back pocket in case there's a cash/budget surplus and you get asked to put those dollars to work quickly.
Well hopefully amazon will push enough of them to the brink of extinction that they to will innovate or suffer the fate of negative selective pressure.
Did you even bother to read the comment he was responding to?

Let's look at this a different way. How many people dealing drugs are doing so because they feel they don't have better prospects. How much does drug abuse cost society?

If society took the money they put towards policing, treatment, etc., and prevented that problem in the first place by just giving cash handouts, could it save both money and suffering?

I don't know the answer, but I'm pretty sure just reflexively looking at top-line costs isn't the way to improve society.
It is also better than nothing. If they show it works, others will follow. Lambda will improve its offering or someone else will come in with a better one.
I’ve said it in the past: commercial displays are the new “dumb” displays. Unfortunately, they’re not full TVs — no speakers, no tuner — so they’re not as “idiot” friendly as a regular TV while being more expensive.
