It depends on the job, for some jobs employers are required to ask you for a clean police report; if you don't have criminal records you can get it, if you have something then you either don't apply or they will have to disqualify you for missing that clean record proof from the police.

Some examples that I know personally: sports club gun trainer (precision shooting is an Olympic game); policeman; any job as security guard, driver on armored cars that carry money from banks etc.

I think for cashiers there is a similar requirement, not 100% sure. It was ~ 20 years ago, but laws change from time to time.

Not so funny is when I had to go to the police section, take such a "clean bill of criminal record" from one office and give it to another policemen at the next office 5 meters away. It was the third time that month because I needed some certificate that had cascaded requirements to have other certificates that also depended on this bills and each required a separate bill in the list of documents.
Live Tribe Club – Marketplace for artists and venues
Live Tribe Club is a new marketplace that connects artists (such as DJs and musicians) with venues and private clients who are looking for the best talent available in their area. ️

During these challenging times due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we think that when we finally go back to attending live events, this tool not only will help artists to get more gigs but also, give clients already curated and verified offers on top of a secured transaction.

The interface is simple and intuitive. You can explore all the available artists in your area or use the filters for something more specific related to music style, band format or pricing.

We believe in the gig-economy and the platform revolution, so this venture aims to be our little contribution to it.

It’s funny watching people come up with all these complicated epicycle-ridden theories for why success is heritable, when the true answer is very obvious - most behaviors related to success are highly genetically heritable. This is the incontrovertible conclusion one draws when they critically observe the results of highly controlled and conditioned twin/sibling studies (on incarceration rate, among other things). Of course, this flies against the western “all men are created equal” soft-religious indoctrination most people get in school, so it’s less difficult for them to come up with these complicated (and relatively very unlikely) models.

Citation needed, i think. I assume it's rooted in the idea of a master copy.
Well, the problem is that to be consistent (and safe), you'd have to do a similar training for every possible offense. GDPR is top-of-mind for HN readers, but any large company is likely constantly violating at least dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of regulations. Ask any corporate lawyer how you could avoid violating any regulation or law, and they will just give you a blank stare, or tell you it's impossible.

Nightwatch.io | Remote | Full-time | Elixir, Rust, Ruby, Go

This is a fully remote position, full-time or part-time, with flexible working hours and work arrangements.

We’re looking for an experienced developer who enjoys working with server side technologies and possesses a good mixture of DevOps and application development chops, has been around the block a couple of times, and would like to build forward-thinking and innovative solutions with experienced teammates in a progressive-oriented environment.

About the role:
You should have plenty of experience in building performant, easy to use, well monitored and well tested APIs, creating and maintaining robust web applications, designing efficient data flows, communicating clearly, usharing knowledge and questioning existing solutions.

About the company:
We’re a self funded SaaS company that primarily builds forward-thinking tools for internet professionals. We are a bootstrapped company that believes the future belongs to smaller companies that don’t subscribe to the 9-to-5 corporate way of doing things. We believe that the Silicon Valley era is over, and we are building a business that allows us to enjoy the freedom of working remotely where each of us has the autonomy and flexibility to have a high impact on the world with our work.

If you're an embedded developer, that's usually a matter of your boss or a customer deciding it for you.
I am literally a senior programmer and I still cannot wrap my head around USB-C.

Is this a PD cable? Is this Thunderbolt 3? Is this DisplayPort-over-USB? Is this cable too long to be fast? Oh, this cable doesn't work for power. Oh that's actually not a power-equipped USB-C slot. Does this hub work? Oh, it only works for ports, not video. Etc etc etc.

I've literally taken to color-coding cables to know which ones I can use where, and if I just stuck to macs and high-end cables, sure, fine, but I have about 10 other devices that have "things" that plug into USB-C slots, but what those things can do and what they need to do them...

Yeah, but only because you slaved away on it for years right?
I've gone back to embedded development as a hobby recently. A good starting point is a Arduino board. These are mostly AVR or ARM board with a set of input/output components you can easily plug in. There is a sketch coding environment which is basically C++ with some some helper libraries. However you should be able to convert to a fully open source environment. I recently got things compiling using avr-gcc and avrdude to downloads. I'm doing all the editing in vscode. Next step for me will be bringing up FreeRTOS. You can get some dev board and components in bulk through Amazon quickly. Also many manufacturers sell their dev board directly.
Unpopular opinion: Sticking with master as this is being political correctness taking way to far. Are we also going to rename master-bedrooms? [1]

People are making sarcastic remarks like "Oh, racism is solved now!"

Obviously racism isn't solved by this, but it's a net-positive change that doesn't take much work to adapt to and is mostly unobtrusive. I don't see why that's something to get upset about, unless you endorse the maintenance of systems that can be seen as oppressive (now matter how small the oppression!). There's no good reason not to be on-board with this change.
A track saw is a great option for long straight cuts. As with any tool you can find inexpensive to very expensive options. The cheapest option is to use a straight edge with a normal handheld circular saw. Next up are jigs that attach to a circular saw. Finally there are the true track saws. For the budget friendly end, look at the options from Kreg, on the high end, Festool.

Zoom vs. Signal: Protecting the Privacy of Your Video Conversations

I really, really like the example of Sweden changing the side they drive on. They used to drive on the left, like Britain. However, Sweden, as the astute observer will notice, is not an island.

Neighbors and close-by countries Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia all drive on the right.

So Sweden had 2 (I think) referendums to change the side. Because people are creatures of habit, the referendums failed.

About a decade later a government somehow snuck the change in a law, I don't remember how.

There was much gnashing of teeth, but they switched. For a while I think light accident rates were higher as people got used to the system. I think major accident rates even went down, as people were a bit more cautious than usual.

After that, it all went back to normal and I imagine a young Swede in 2020 doesn't even know much about it anymore.

There's a huge body of argument, which argues that various "moral" behaviors could have arisen via natural selection. Actual evidence? Not so much.
So if i create a repo locally, where the default branch name is still master, commit some work to it, then create a repo on GitHub, where the default name is now main, then push my local repo to GitHub, will my commits appear on the repo page? Or will it present an empty main branch?

I always create repos this way - i never create on GitHub then clone the empty repo. It would be annoying if this stopped working smoothly.
The Portugal drug model (or similar scale legalization and decriminalization) has a lot to do with it. A lot of the people who end up committing murder or are nailed for egregious drug offences are only in the position they're in because of bad policy. This is something that can be directly acted upon and changed.

I am very, very sceptical of the idea of a "conviction" for a non-crime. Racism, though deplorable, is not a crime, and it shouldn't be. Thought and speech are necessarily divorced from action in the "world of atoms". These classes of offence are very, very different.

My argument isn't that racism should be ignored, either. Rather, I don't think that any of the "cancel culture" that seems so prevalent actually does anything positive. It doesn't change views, it further polarizes and solidifies what you refer to as "ingrained racism".

There is a strain of thought that some murder is justified in the name of political liberation (take Assata Shakur for example). Many of these same people will try to persecute people for perceived racism. This is the world-view I'm referring to. If you'd like more tangible examples, I could dredge them up, but I don't think it would be worth either of our time(s).

Edit: For that matter, how do you rehabilitate someone like Dick Costolo, who today tweeted "Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution. I'll happily provide video commentary." in response to Brian Armstrong of Coinbase choosing an apolitical company approach?

Edit 2: Can't reply to the child comment. I don't have the solutions, but I would propose:

1) Reworking or regulating social media to be less polarizing (see The Social Dilemma, a film that just came out on this).

2) Criminal justice reform and drug decriminalization, so violent crimes and murder become less commonplace, especially such crimes that could be easily prevented by better policy. Also, clear the criminal records of those convicted for non-violent offences.

3) Establish "free speech zones" or something similar on university campuses, to allow space to refute heinous ideas in open discussion (ala Chomsky).
Fixing the use of a word, in a unique context, that has the possibility of offending some people.

I don't think anyone is trying to hide the horrible parts of history.

Think of it as translation. Should you read Dante in his original medieval Italian or in a modern English translation? Yes. But if you want to understand and make strong arguments about Dante, you'll probably have to dig out the Italian.

Or, alternatively, back in the day there were these shows called "situation comedies" or sitcoms. One of them was "Three's Company." Many of the stories of the episodes of Three's Company were taken more or less directly from Shakespeare's comedies. Is it elitism to suggest that seeing a production of Shakespeare's plays is a better way of connecting with what he was trying to say than watching a '70s sitcom?

I am fighting this. I was given requirements to implement fraud and I said no. They gave it to a contractor. I said roll it back. They said no. I reported it up. They constructively dismissed me. I continued to report it up to the most sr. lawyer in the organization. They retaliated.

So I reported it to government agencies and am waiting on a response.

We are the ones who are doing these things. Us. The engineers. We have a responsibility to the people.

We are derelict in our duty.

We have to stop writing the code that is destroying the world. We have to hold our employers accountable.

We are the only ones who can stop this.

Sit. on. your. hands.

Stop destroying people's minds and lives with your code.

YOU are doing it.

YOU. The people who work at facebook and google and ad networks and content farms and high frequency traders and weapons manufacturers and climate changing organizations.

It's us. We are the engineers. We are the ones with the power.

It's up to us. The world is dying because of us.

It's not the business people making the profits. They aren't doing it. WE are.

One beauty of git is you can call your default branches whatever you want. You just may need an extra step or two in setup based on the repo host service.
Not necessarily in ways that matter. If I use equivalent materials (MDF), it's still more expensive for me. If I use good plywood (which is usually the right choice) or solid wood (which despite common perception is the wrong choice for almost anything involving large flat panels), it may be more durable but becomes significantly more expensive.

IKEA stuff may not last centuries, but it often lasts fine for its intended use. I have a number of cheap IKEA Kallax-style bookshelves around my house. They're made of cardboard, hopes, and dreams, but have held up to all the loads I've thrown at them for years and even survived a couple of apartment/house moves (admittedly, the big one would probably not survive another move). How many people ACTUALLY want to keep the same piece of furniture with the same dimensions and styling forever? How many people who want to actually manage to in the face of new residences, combining furniture with roommates/partners, etc.?

IKEA is only one example. The same arguments apply for other brands, including some "real" furniture. I'm in the middle of building a queen-sized Murphy Bed. All said and done, my material costs are approaching $2000 (without a mattress) and I've spent several weeks worth of evenings on it. It's been a challenging project, and I don't regret it, but economically it would ABSOLUTELY have been better to buy one.
My only saving grace there was that my dad was a Land Surveyor and made heavy use of AutoCAD. We had the full digitizer tablet and access to a color plotter.

Because even a one-way unlock can be exploited and is a vector for compromised security.

Apple has no need to prevent people from repairing their devices. They lose money on most repairs they do. What they're concerned about is their brand. If someone gets their device repaired at a shitty shop that isn't Apple certified and uses parts that aren't real Apple parts (like every screen repair kiosk in your local mall), people don't see future screen issues as issues with that repair or screen. They see a problem with an iPhone. That's what the desirable side-effect is. Apple doesn't want to prevent repairs, they want to prevent shitty repairs and security breaches.
That's why they say "inversely proportional".
I agree with the sentiment but I would add that slavery isn’t even necessarily racist. Maybe it was in the USA but not in the rest of the world. Even today there are people who are slaves to others that look like them (“race” is silly when talking about humans).
Puzzle Built with Threejs
The downside is that it shows the crazies in are charge and there is no one with a brain cell left to stand up to them.

Just like when that lecturer was suspended for saying ne-ga. Oh a word sounds close, better punish him for racism. Oh “master”, a word that has another meaning in a totally different context, better remove it.

Anyone that allows bullshit like this to happen is enabling these extremists to have their way.
The Welcome page shows up in addition to the first tab that pops up so the above instructions don't suppress it.
Exactly. It's surprising how many bestselling books are full of similar false analogies that one would fall to on a first or even second read.
That's what happens when latin disappears from the default baggage of an educated person and you can no longer recognize etymologies: master comes from magister (teacher). The owner of slaves was the dominus (which begat words like domain etc)
Sure, but that doesn't make it easy, which was the point.
No, because we don’t want on evoke those connotations in situations where they are unnecessary
The ethics of this isn't really all that different from deepfaking.
I think that's a reasonable argument. I just don't get the argument against using Master in the first place.
> comments about "polite" Japanese versus "strict" Germans and "angry" Italians are also bigoted

As the other commenter mentioned, "bigoted" implies "intolerant". A joke about culture differences isn't intolerant of those cultures; you're just overreacting.

And as someone else mentioned, the Japanese, Germans and Italians do not want or need you to save them. Maybe you should dial it back a bit.
