What about it? It’s a different problem altogether. First, it’s not necessarily illegal. Second, there is a power disparity between employer and employee that makes wage theft hard for an employee to fight.

If it's a monolith you don't have to worry about composing multiple containers. I've put a monolith in Docker so I could plop it on Google Cloud Run.
I'd appreciate if the same kindness was shown to the Chinese router manufacturers. Sadly, when the manufacturer is Chinese, default credentials are suddenly a "secure CCP backdoor"
Yes, the US spends much more per-capita on medical R&D than other countries. But how do we know all this money is going into real R&D? How do we know most of it is not going into e.g. me-too drugs?
Honestly the comments on this - fact-free, worker-hostile - are a caricature of everything bad about HN.
> but I think it's safe to argue that the poor general response to COVID is also an indicator of your skill at science.

That's not logical at all. It's a reasonable argument that poor general response to COVID is an indicator that you aren't currently doing a good job of governance, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.
It's not for people like you. It's for hosts doing mass amounts of hosting for people who couldn't get a directory listing at a bash prompt if their life depended on it.
Sorry i went directly to banning things, but remember rock music and video games were not banned but the media outrage had a lot of bad effects. So my concern is that is easy to create hypothesis that are not backed by science that can cause bad effects.

Edit: I am not against discussing this topic, we need to make sure what is fact and what is just some hypothesis/fantasy. If we discuss it then we should have some goal, can we measure something, can we look at the past and conclude something or we are just either wasting our time or try to spread some ideology that is not backed by evidence.
More of a missing door than a "back door."
I think the key thing is that you already know the stack and didn't have to learn it. I wouldn't recommend it to someone for whom the learning curve will be brutally steep, but if you already know it I'm sure it's pretty game changing in terms of scale you could handle just being a solo dev.
Could you provide a definition?

Are you suggesting full-time employees who are exempt from overtime laws working less than 40 hours a week some weeks?

Or are you suggesting employees who write down that they started at 10:00 and left at 6:30 but really got in at 10:05?
I would have guess it was a success, but not like youtube. Plus with their push on everything is nest, it seems like they are betting on that as a solid competitor

I loved having a nest thermostat and will definitely buy one for my next place
I firmly believe that Nix (and/or Guix) are the future. I am going to use Nix as the keyword below, but Guix and Nix are so very similar that everything is also true for Guix.

Snap, Flatpak, Docker, AppImage, etc are all very complex solutions that are actually quite painful to interact with. Nix on the other hand solves the problem extremely well. You can have different complex applications running side by side with very different dependencies trees and they will not cross paths.

Every time I see a package being distributed as a Snap, I wonder why. These containered solutions are very complex, trying very hard to emulate FHS with mount namespaces, binding mounting tons of sockets around, and almost always end up mounting all of /home in the container. The don't provide much security, and quite difficult to deal with, and require a daemon.

Nix on the other hand has zero containerization requirements. It simply works by ensuring the programs are looking in the right place for the libraries they need. It would be great if more vendors just shipped a Nix derivation (or store path) that was their application stack. It would end version incompatibilities for ever, in a way that isn't a burden for the user.

Nix + bubblewrap add all the benefits of snap and flatpak as well. But again, there is no benefit to bubblewrap is if you are just going to blanket allow read-write everywhere anyway. At least with raw bubblewrap you can make these policies actually protect something.

Similarly, Nix is easily installed on any existing system. So you can use nix packages on Debian, Ubuntu, Centos, Fedora, DSL, or any other linux distribution because it runs entirely out of /nix. I use nix packages on Archlinux at home, and Debian systems as work.

Cross distro development works 100% of the time because Nix doesn't use anything from the distro.

Nix (and Guix) are really what the Linux community should be moving towards IMHO. I personally prefer Nix's syntax, but the underlying technologies are so similar I consider them the same. Guix started as a fork of Nix, and one day I hope they decide to end up becoming compatible with each other again.
They may have more experience, handled larger incidents, went to a better school, had better job history.

There's nothing to handle, it happens.
When you think of Guix as a source distribution first and a binary distribution second this makes sense. The build farm is just another user that builds everything from source. If it didn't catch up with the builds because someone just changed a package definition then you might be requesting a binary that hasn't yet been built.

Slow download appears to depend a lot on location to an extent that we suspect peering problems. The main build farm's head node is connected to the internet from a well-connected research campus with dual 10G. Multiple tests have concluded that the configuration from server-side software, to network hardware of the server, down to networking in the data centre is sane.

Maybe we'll have to bite the bullet and (again) use a CDN to better serve users that inexplicably experience slow connections.
That was a very informative explanation. Thanks. There was a sentence that sounded really interesting, but which I didn't understand:

> CPI doesn't account for the ability of consumers to substitute inferior goods, but GDP doesn't account for the sacrifice involved in doing so.

Would you be down to unpack how that works? I'm intrigued.
Definitely different to my American ear as well.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of ZeroSSL's history there. Are there any links you can share about that fiasco?
If shipping is cheap why does goods go from Chine to US not from US to China?

Would cheap energy lower land costs for a house or flat? Cheap energy would improve situation. But a lot of competition comes from productivity and wages. Low wages in Asia made possible to import goods cheaper from Asia rather than produce locally.
Intel has Thunderbolt integrated onto their CPU, which seems natural & like what I would want in the future from everyone.

Current Intel host-adapters seem to be ~$10 for the dual-port chip itself[1] (JHL8540). Not sure how much else it adds to the bill-of-material beyond a regular USB port! Adding it direct to the CPU would be a wonderful way to save space, & significantly reduce how hard it is to implement, since one would no longer need to route USB and PCIe and power to this extra chip.

I wouldn't expect Thunderbolt support on the low end for a long time. But I really do think it's really time that cpu makers begin offering it onboard. They already need to start moving towards USB4. Adding PCIe as well would be a courtesy, & a big enabler, for their customers. Hopefully we see these great awesome futures begin arriving in a more well-distributed manner.

If you setup your templates in mailchimp/mandrill, you can use their API to send transactional email templates with plug-in variables at a specific time (send_at) parameter.

Basically, for example, new user drip campaign might be 5 emails, 1 a day, after signing up.

You create the 5 templates, when user signs up, you initiate the 5 transactional emails with send_at datetime parameter +1 day for each. This automatically schedules the emails to go out from mandrill/mailchimp's side, and your app can forget about it.

You just have to make the email templates.

Integrate with their webhooks, and you can track when the emails are sent, open, etc..
In this case there was plenty time to consider how to apply for compensation: in the 2 hours flying back the way we came, in the hour waiting for the luggage, in the three hours in the line with the other passengers to be booked on another flight, in the hour in the airport shuttle going to the hotel for the night, and another going back to the airport the next morning, in the two hours in the queue for the re-check-in. Also in the two hours in the plane the next day til the turnaround point, hoping to make it a bit further this time around.

Turns out, if you dump a plane with 350 people suddenly onto the three customer service people serving at CDG for United, it becomes quite the shit show. I doubt any of the crew would have preferred this option over continuing to fly to Newark as intended, if they were remotely friendly with the ground crew, or had to serve there themselves.

Fun part was the passengers for other flights walking into the terminal and gazing at the queue of 350 people wrapping around one of these giant blocks at CDG, in wonder. Mood of the people in the queue was not that of the highest enjoyment, though.

> Have you ever seen a gangster film?

I'm sorry i'm not basing my arguments on movies i've seen.

Combine that with you arrogance in implying i'm getting concepts wrong (i'm citing them, you are not), I think this conversation has run its course. Your entire response amounts to "you are wrong but i'm not going to say how".
There is nothing on offer here with 70% effectiveness. There is a vaccine regime with 90% effectiveness. That's more than sufficient to be effective at ending the pandemic.

Thee's another regime that we can all just forget about because it uses the same vaccine but with a different method of delivery that will be discarded in favor of the method proven far more effective. Averaging the two makes no sense.
Certain companies do this way more than others, and we should absolutely be calling them out on it.
That is an easy trope that follows history. For example, England is responsible for 63 national independence days.

Colonies need support initially. But, once they get established and self sustaining it seems to be the natural progression to wonder why they still are subjects of a far away, likely exploitive, ruler.

Are you for real?

YouTube seems to do terrible at the recommendations. It cannot even recognize that when I’m behind the computer, I’m not interested in watching documentaries and when I’m behind my Apple TV, I’m not interested in listening to music videos. It’s such basic stuff, let alone the actual recommendations; it just keeps rehashing the same channels. “Oh you watched a video about the US elections, let’s bombard you with US election videos for the next 3 weeks”.

If I compare the music recommendations of YouTube versus Spotify, the latter is miles ahead. YouTube always seems to either descend into obscurity, or you’ll end up with the same old stuff, where Spotify seems to balance things out fairly nicely.

In all honesty, for all the AI expertise and “intellectual excellence” Google possesses in this area, I am surprised how bad they are doing here.
It's completely disingenuous, comparing wage theft to robbery... deliberately excluding burglary which is massive in comparison.

This behavior seems to be part of Call Out Culture.

People buy "smart" TVs which are subsidized by an integrated computer used to track and advertise to you.
curious as to what that is -- I was unable to find it on the internet. Does anyone have a link to a summary of these documents?
So measured wage "theft" comes out to $3 per person per year. But it's a contract violation, not violence, so a monetary comparison is completely sociopathic. Also, this headline excludes transfer payments as a form of theft.
It Belongs in a Museum
Yep, I just thought I'd throw this together based on my own personalized work flow :)

Definitely can put some more explanation in there.
It is not “in fact a much larger amount” - it actually looks to be about the same. The article estimates about $50bn wages are stolen every year, while [1] suggests about $50bn is stolen/embezzled by employees every year.

I will add that even if the net amount is the same, it is much worse morally to rob a worker than a business.

One point; you can't access Sentry Mode remotely. In order to see the video you have to watch it in the car or take the USB thumb drive out and download them to your computer.
Some random, maybe useful info. The mouthpiece works by preventing the jaw from recessing back. From my pre-purchase research I found out there are 2 main causes for snoring, this works for one of them.

Before the first use you put the mouthpiece into very hot water, bite it with jaw going forward, then let it cool down. You can reshape it the same way later in case the fit is not good enough. This was the case with me - I was waking up with a totally sore jaw (too much forward shift). After the reshape it is much better.

People report it is possible to make it possible to breathe through the mouthpiece. I found it unnecessary - maybe it even improves the airflow through the nose (I am not sure - could be placebo).

Googleable keywords is "mandibular advancement device". Good luck.
"Literally all the data" that's been collected on the impact of me not picking my nose shows that it prevents covid

This does not mean that by not picking your nose you can prevent covid

We would need more data to show that conclusively

Simiarly, we need more data to show that these vaccines are effective and don't have negative long-term effects
Thanks for the response! To clarify, I still a happy customer of DO, and would still use it for some other projects.

I have also had a fair share of issues with AWS services in the past (Athena, they took care of it a few months later), and GCP too. And I understand that no product is ever perfect.
Good question. Maybe you only bring them in when you want to play hardball so you don't care what people think. You want them afraid.
This only works if you're considering work as "hours worked" versus "impact and output".

I've had this conversation with several employers. They're not paying me for how many hours I was at my desk, they're paying me for my economic output and my impact on the organization.

I get not every single job can have this level of flexibility, but the amount of "theft of time" and "employee shoplifting" that occur throughout America? I would bet my bottom dollar it isn't even close to employers' wage theft.

Yes, see my other reply.
The storage system is important and a key differentiator, tons of countries cannot effectively distribute a virus at -70° to population in the most vulnerable spots. I don't know why you felt the need to be so dismissive.
Discuss with your manager and find out why. Ask them to be honest with you. Ask if it is something you can change. Maybe they just negotiated a better salary than you did. Maybe they have experience that you do not. If you do not agree, you could skip-level to their manager if your company supports that. Beyond that, if you are not satisfied with the answer, consider looking to other opportunities without hinting this to your current employer.
> And we could destroy the habitable world even more rapidly than we're doing. Sounds great.

It's worth noting that due to Jevon's Paradox, investments in energy efficiency also result in greater energy consumption.
I get the sense that it's reasonable, and perhaps understood, that the magnitude of exposure is correlated with severity.

I've been using Caddy on some personal and community sites for around a year and it's worked out just great! The built in certificate management has been so nice compared to having to manage external letsencrypt tooling.

More recently I set up a VM at work to be a domain redirector for a bunch of typo domains to our main domains, since the old outsourced redirectors didn't have TLS, and it was dead simple!
Not OP, but I found WASM to be a very gentle target for my experiments.

It is a rather restricted and "high level" language and has a nice, human readable, s-expression text format (WAT). For example it is perfectly reasonable to write WAT by hand after learning the basics.

Also there is plenty of fantastic, modern documentation, tooling and specification around WASM.
There are a few points not quite highlighted in this thread:

- Woman entering the workforce: I think this is the primary driver of wage deflation. You suddenly doubled the supply of the workforce, this means you can afford to pay workers much less. The end of WWII also means you have new supply of men who were doing army stuff.

- US Trade Balance: With the gold standard abolished and countries using the USD, the US can now afford to offshore some of its work to other countries. They get these products for free. The US trade deficit is being financed by the money printing machine. There is a tax to trade internationally and to mismanage your country currency: It's the USD. This means less jobs for Americans. Along with the doubled supply of workers, this over-complicates the situation.

- Brave new world of Global Capital: Imo, the next challenge is just starting and it's global capital. With a doubled work force and less jobs, your average American will have trouble getting anywhere in life. But wait, it's going to get worse. Your top earners in foreign countries can now transfer their money to the US and buy property. Luckily, they are only doing it now in hot spots (LA, NYC, SF, DC). But it's a matter of time before this spread further, fueled by the Internet (people can discover more places and don't have to rely on the most known ones) and people who used to own in hot spots and decided to buy somewhere else because it's cheaper. Cities like this because it drives their real-estate market and create jobs, so it seems like it should fix the problem.

The next decade is going to be an interesting one.
I Think this is fantastic.

Lots of people seem to be moaning about how the keyboard is going to feel aweful. Well so what, its portable got a wide-arsed screen and a printer

Looks fantastic.
OSX at least used have support for opening sftp (that is, file transfer over ssh) URLs in finder. You don't need to know bash to use ssh.

to be fair mDNS is complex and shitty enough to use that it'd likely have been worse if they reimplemented it themselves.

On the other hand, biological systems tend to use copious amounts of water to facilitate not just chemical reaction, but also keeping things moving (at molecular scale) or suspended and protected from shocks (at macroscale). It's easier to float things in water than in the air. The water-people could thus have certain advantages in their technological process.

(On the other other hand, salt water is metal killer...)

>Are there modern-day places like Bell Labs?

Don't know the answer to your exact question.

But I wouldn't be surprised if there are at least a few (meaning tens, if not a few hundred) of startups / small and medium companies in the world that have at least a partly Bell Labs-like tech and innovation culture, somewhat modified due to being commercial entities vs. a research place. I have come across descriptions of actual such companies in the past.
You can tune power management behavior to suit your needs.
The article is primarily about WeWork and the VCs that invested in it. I don't get why so many comments in this thread are about the Murdoch/Theranos stuff which hardly features. WeWork had "real" VC backing and 95% of the text is the story of WeWork. If anything the weak point of the article is it perhaps focuses on WeWork too much and generalises from that to the whole VC industry, which may or may not be valid, I don't know. But judging by the conspicuous lack of discussion of the meat of the essay visible in this HN thread, I'm guessing either most people didn't read the article or there is enough truth to it that arguing minor semantic points is the best we can do.
