Deutsche Bank obviously wants this tax to prop up real estate. This is a general unemployment problem yet they somehow suggest a tax that is supposed to make one type of worker worse off even though every worker should be taxed to help the unemployed? The irony is that we are in an economic situation in which we actually need the opposite: Tax cuts everywhere.

It's also possible that the officer in question purchased that hoodie because hoodies are warm and he likes its design, and that he happened to wear said hoodie on election day because it was cold. I don't really think it makes sense to speculate either way.

Apple provides Belkin USB-C to Gigabit ethernet adapters because they don't make their own. Never saw an Anker cable, but perhaps they provide them somewhere.
Rich Hickey[] has a nice talk "Simple made easy", where he differentiates between exes, the simple-complex axis and the easy-hard axis. By his definitions, you can kind of strive for easiness but get complexity, and if you aim for simplicity it may be hard. His point is, that you'd much prefer simple-hard over something 'easy' that leads to incidental complexity.

I feel like Go isn't so much aiming for simlicity but actually for easiness in that line of thought, and thus its only a matter of time until complexity is encoded within the Go code.

Now, aiming for simplicity is not easy, at times definitely hard but it can lead to actual simplicity.

[] obligatory note that while I like this talk I don't agree with all of his utterances.
I worked with the Crowd Supply people as a project creator a couple of years back.
They didn't seem to have any sophisticated AI that was trying to manipulate users into buying crap - they did have plain ol' Google Analytics, but they also went to the effort of removing unnecessary JavaScript from their site so that NoScript/AdBlock wouldn't run into any issues.

I think it's more a fundamental issue related to crowdfunding itself - you buy a product that you're interested in at the time, but don't receive anything until a year later. By then, there's a decent chance you've moved on and no longer need it.

Everybody in the industry/science around this has been worried about it for years (at least 2008, when I started paying attention to this stuff).

It's just become a lot more salient now, as the polls have been pretty crappy lately.
I come from a very small town in Brazil in the middle of nowhere. I was interested in Tech since I was a kid, but had zero influence around me.
I was a police officer for many years when I decided to go to university and study computer science. There, by a recommendation of a great professor, I got introduced to Hacker News. First time I saw this website, my mind was blown by the amount of rich information and links pointing me to gold pages on the web I have never heard of.
But this was just the shallow surface. Once I discovered the comments section and started reading the threads, I was once again astonished by the rich content and discussions going on. Sometimes, I spend hours just reading brilliant comments here and learning from people way smarter than me.
Thanks for this community and the moderators for making this happen :D

In the United States, Reform Judaism rejects the concept that any rules or rituals should be considered necessary for conversion to Judaism. In the late 19th century, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the official body of American Reform rabbis, formally resolved to permit the admission of converts "without any initiatory rite, ceremony, or observance whatsoever". (CCAR Yearbook 3 (1893), 73–95; American Reform Responsa (ARR), no. 68, at 236–237.)

> Absolutely right that Singapore wants to primarily attract foreigners longer term who won't place a burden on the already stretched public services (state provided housing or schooling).

I'm not sure those public services are 'already stretched'. Perhaps at most in a relative sense compared to the rest of Singapore's generous infrastructure?

> Also, for people running their own companies there are always ways to plan your tax affairs, regardless of where you live.

That there are ways to optimize your taxes in multiple places doesn't make them equal, nor even similar. (Otherwise, eg the American corporate tax cut a while ago wouldn't have been such big news.)

In any case, regardless of tax rate, taxes here are much simpler. There's less overhead in doing your taxes.

Some friends of mine ran businesses both in Singapore and in Poland. Their accounting in Singapore is vastly simpler.

> You are right, Finland doesn't have universal minimum salary, but it does have a similar, interesting state sanctioned relic - most industries with unions have a union enforced, national minimum salary for their industry - this includes construction, hospitality, manufacturing etc. It has been criticised for creating lack of flexibility in the job market - perhaps so, I don't have a strong opinion.

I am familiar with the system from growing up in Germany. Alas, I'm also familiar with trying to foist higher wages on a part of the country than the market can support. That's what led to decades of high unemployment in East Germany.

(Though to be honest, the German unifiers were between a rock and a hard place. It was either high wages and people migrating away from unemployment, or otherwise people migrating away from low wages.

Politically, it was an easier sell to convert the East German Mark and associated contracts etc at the symbolic rate of 1:1 (and 1:2), instead of the more realistic black market rates of 1:5 to 1:10.)

> Absolutely right that Singapore wants to primarily attract foreigners longer term who won't place a burden on the already stretched public services (state provided housing or schooling). Though even for many of them PR/citizenship can be a long, long time away.

One more remark on that: Singapore isn't a monolith. In general, the government is more open to migration and capitalism than the population. Many (but far from all) of the existing restrictions are to keep the voters from rebelling.
> It was a predictable result of Debian policy, which Debian did not see fit to change. Debian still patches upstream sources including security-critical software, still does not have any dedicated security review of those patches, still leaves it up to individual maintainers to decide whether and how to clear these things with upstream, and still thinks all of this is fine.

It's not fine, but when the upstream authors do not regard or consider requirements of downstream projects, what can you do? like with the example of phonehome features?

arch and other distros are only possible, because for a long time, debian and other distros kept nagging the upstream authors for missing features or "nonfeatures". if debian wouldn't exist, i bet, arch had to patch much more itself.
Not true at all.
Maybe in the US but not elsewhere. I know more than a few developers that work on sub $999 laptops/machines. Specifically Dell/Lenovo laptops seems to be the go to, since they can get them with 16GB RAM + 1TB hdd + non-discrete gfx, then they just swap out the hdd with 256/512GB ssd.

About half of all my dev friends have given up on laptops (specifically apple gear, incl iPhone) and ALL of them built ryzen-based machines and work from home. My previous workplace refused to buy us laptops and built typical workstation PC's for everyone (quadcore i5 + 16GB RAM + 256GB ssd + 1TB hdd, this was around 2017). The guys that do have iPad's tend to hang on to them but swapped their iPhones with Android phones when they ditched their MacBooks. Main complaint? Ports & (Performance vs Price vs (ryzen pc with same price)).

You became a sharecropper.

This is because you no longer own your relationship to your customer.

Sharecropping works but over time, you lose any leverage in the situation. You need them but they don't need you.

The end game doesn't involve anything good for you.

I work with many online stores that are switching from the sharecropper model after seeing the end game. They now have their own shops.

This, too, can be tainted by the big tech companies controlling access to customers but it's quite a bit safer. Repeat customers don't need to come again through the big channels and are often the real lifeblood of a retail business.

> Why is this not happening in non-swing states other than Virginia? And why does Biden's luck improve over time when _only_ mail in ballots are counted?

Cause voting is not luck based. Democrats are more likely to vote by mail. Partly because of covid, which they are more likely to believe is an issues. Plus, Trump and republicans discouraged mail voting and claimed it is fraudulent long before election. They did also tried to stop the mail counting and slow down post.

So, republicans were less likely to trust mail and more likely to vote in person.

I would love to see an example, perhaps, if what you were looking at is digital. The way I see it, there is some inherent bias in even the newsroom, but I feel that the information I get from New York Times is accurate and substantial.
I'd actually like to see a series of 'lessons learned', or 'things we tried that didn't work' (including code, if possible/prudent).
In addition to what everybody else said, because the touch at is flat and flush with the body chassis, I find it’s very easy to accidentally press when you press a key in the row below.

Yeah, it was originally a religious thing. It's why Croats use the Latin alphabet and Serbs Cyrillic to write essentially the same language -- because Croats tended to be Catholic and Serbs tended to be Orthodox. Czechs and Poles use the Latin alphabet too because likewise they are Catholics for the most part.
Yes, I know and I'm counting on that. But the odds are some of the worst I've seen in my life so far, and there is no cure in case I do need it. I never felt before that hope is all I have.
In terms of system login stuff (at least on Windows and macOS) I think it would work exactly the same as any other supported 3rd party fingerprint sensor.
The code I wrote for a company I cofounded and sold was written on a seven inch netbook as well.

I loved that little netbook.

Consider the role of newspapers historically. It's not unreasonable to expect an institution of reporters of current events to have a section of opinion and analysis on the facts of the day.

I'm a huge advocate of introducing randomness to most of governmental dealings.
I draw a parallel to John Rawls "Veil of Ignorance" and how actors in a system behave differently based on the (un)certainty of the outcome.

Looking at this from the other side, I gave remote desktop control to a printer tech a few weeks ago and I felt weirdly violated for a long time. Even something as simple as people moving my keyboard halves into weird angles is unsettling, and in a much more intimate way than say people adjusting a car seat, which is just a minor inconvenience (to me, I imagine this could be different for people who are attached to their car).
For a work laptop that only serves as an interface to a personal workstation set up in a server room, Macs are so much more enjoyable to use. No worrying about wifi drivers, being able to use the Mac touchpad etc.
> If you want living examples of this look at every insurgency that the US military has tried to destroy. They're all still kicking with nothing but AK-47s, pick-up trucks and improvised explosives because these big weapons you talk about are useless for dealing with them.

Guerilla warfare is a sharp reminder that the biggest weapon a soldier has is the one between his ears. Standing armies, like the story of david and goliath, "deploy" troops with the expectation that the other side will play by their rules. The result? David ain't about that life and uses his head, sling and a rock. You can have all the weapons in the world, nothing can garuantee your victory.

So how do the politicians and top brass justify the dead sons and no real, tangible success? They order the army to kill civilians ofcourse. Can you imagine training soldiers for a million bucks a pop, then he gets killed by a homemade bomb in some wadhi?

In short, war is a mess. It's not more guns needed, it's diplomacy.

I'm really worried that AMD has won the battle, but lost the war in terms of x86 being replaced by ARM in the next decade.
I think there is a large part of that story missing. If the accounts daemon drops privileges for reading from the user's home, how can it ever get back to its normal state? How could two users run the same operation concurrently?

Normally that privilege dropping should happen after forking, right? And if it does the parent process should respond to gdm's inquiry.

That being said, the initial settings thing is probably good for a few more escalations as its usecase does not seem to fit the standard security measures very well.
Thoughts on this? Hopin seems like an impressive product.
Disrupting an industry seems to mean breaking the rules. When there is no financial penalty it must be read as a tacit approval from government.

Cancel culture is often in the back of my mind because I work in tech, however what I said above was not only referring to the workplace, so the question still stands.

Also, you are not really giving an answer, because if the cause was "cancel culture" then the next question would be why cancel culture works that way and not the other way around.
Everything you see influences you more than the things you don't see. That's the entire point of advertising. It's all about brand recognition, i.e. avoiding the "I have never heard of this brand" moment in as many people as possible. A lot of startups post their whiny shutdown announcement on HN and then everyone is surprised that they have never heard of the startup.
Yes there's complex reasons behind these things. My point is, and it's rather crude, that if everything always points in one direction, the complex reasons can be replaced with far simpler, less flattering ones.
