Tech and science used to be safe spaces free from abusive ideologies and religion is a dumpster fire of manipulation techniques designed to enslave one's mind for profit of organisations that "own" particular religion. Place of religion is in one's home or designated space that is clearly marked that "religion is happening there". Many people were not subjected to abuse from religious organisations, so they tend to dismiss such concerns and be defensive (as they are manipulated into being as such)

This article said something quite plain and obvious: Obama when in office despite his rhetoric was an enabler and propagandizer (willing and not) of expanding middle eastern conflict. That is just objectively true despite how painful that may be for Obama supporters. Trump was not. The only "conspiracy" here is the speculation that it is a reason for the intelligence community disliking him. If you think that is a "pizza place pedo conspiracy" than I don't know what to tell you, except that Glen Greenwald is one of the foremost experts on US Intelligence and has seen tens of thousands of documents that few people have seen.

Perhaps you could run one at your company?

Absent that experiment, this is the one that Unilever is running for everyone in their offices within one country for a full year.

Consider the wonderful Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics [1] and how it applies to any kind of experiment or well-intentioned initiative, when presented to 'people that know better'.

> The five-day is locked in pretty firmly in the developed world, and a company that tries to change that risks getting out of synch with suppliers, subcontractors, and partners. "Today's Thursday. Our office is closed on Fridays, so we'll have to schedule that call for Tuesday, because one of our suppliers is closed on Mondays."

Well, a) just because it's common doesn't mean it's good, or that it's still relevant, or that it's healthy, or that it's ineluctable.

b) there's no suggestion with ANY of these trials, or any organisation already offering part-time work for their staff, that they shutdown entirely for one or two days per week - rather, their workforce is spread over the (for now, common in the west) five weekdays, with varying personnel engaged. If you think organisations that are looking to reduce working hours for their staff are assuming the company is going to operate on a 4-day week, then you may have misunderstood the intent.

"Because it inconveniences you" is not a good reason to break up companies, imo.

Maybe those small businesses will learn that Facebook is not the best option. There are other cheap ways to get a web presence. Facebook is not even a web presence, as it is a walled garden.

Also, how would you even break it up? A separate "events platform" would be pretty useless without the Facebook social graph. What would be the point? Just plain disallow Facebook to have useful features, making things more difficult for people?
Without being up to date with Ethereum, this single tweet offers very little in the way of context. Perhaps there's a link that better explain the significance of this? What makes this considerably more [desired properties]?
Or maybe MacStadium’s model was based on the completely predictable direction and steps Apple would take when it came to licensing such activity.

For example, it wasnt hard to predict that a company which basically gives away its OS for free, and nearly makes all its money selling the hardware to run the OS would start with licensing terms that led to more sales of macs.
The claim isn't that there is only one way to build fusion reactors, the claim is simply that there is only one well-developed design.

Small prototypes don't mean immediate progress in fusion, the original tokamak was hailed as great progress in 1958 and it was less than a metre across.

Until we have perfect understanding of Magnetohydrodynamics and materials science one simply cannot reliably predict the behaviour of completely new devices.
Telling people that they "need to adapt or face consequences" would be even more dangerous than pointing out that they aren't adapted.

Of course that's a highly uncharitable representation of what you propose, but you would have to expect that kind of treatment.

Why should we now work 15 hours a week?

Companies have found that it is much more rewarding to keep workers working 40 hours (in Europe) or more (many parts of the world, including the US) or more, and to translate the productivity gains into bonuses for top management, dividends for shareholders and increased share prices (for shareholders and top management) [1].

Without the necessary regulation, this process will not be significantly altered either, in my opinion. I firmly believe that hardly any (large) company will be prepared to significantly improve conditions for employees without external pressure - at the expense of shareholder value.

For example, it is perfectly normal for a company like Accenture to pay a 10% higher dividend for the past fiscal year, while dismissing 5% of its employees worldwide. We don't even have to dream of wage increases for employees in the 10% range here. And ACN is just one example because I happen to know the numbers right now.

What company increases its employees' wages by the same amount as it increases the dividend for shareholders? I hardly know of any company that does that.

You're comparing C+StdLib vs. Rust without StdLib. Disable stdlib for C version and use the following program:

#include <windows.h>

int _start()
{

const char str[] = "Hello world!\n";
HANDLE stdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
DWORD written;

WriteFile(stdout, str, sizeof(str), &written, NULL);
ExitProcess(12);

return 0;

}

Which is similar to what the Rust program does. The result should be significantly less than 1k

Im a non technical founder, how do I get feedback on my hypothesis on my website? google forms or how do I go about it?
For the record, I received yesterday the new mainboard that will be in those phones to replace the one of my pinephone UBport edition. The boost in RAM (3gb instead of 2gb) does the trick for me, allowing to use firefox. Not to the point that the experience is even close to android, but at least usable (before that, I used elinks on the phone).

The system I use (mobian/phosh) still feels sluggish, but I suspect it's more a matter of software than hardware, now. I tried yesterday KDE neon/plasma with that new board, but had problems that the screen would black out after a few minutes of use (had to do hard reboot to recover).

I see in this release announcement that their build of plasma is on top on Manjaro, I'll have to try that one. It's especially interesting because someone from Plasma mobile team told on HN the other day that they support MMS.

Christmas is hardly a religious holiday (or at least, one that celebrates a particular religion.) It was originally a pagan European celebration of the winter equinox, it got various traditions added to it (such as the yule log and Christmas tree) until eventually it was associated with the birth of Christ.

As is tradition, the American form adds its own ideas consistent with the national culture: submarine advertisement for coca cola, consumption that has a large affect on retail, and partisan politics.

As blockchain tech goes, Ethereum always seemed the most interesting.
Red is the one of the most common and easily accessible pigments, and as others have pointed out what we see is durable. As far as the “same motifs” goes, is that really so unexpected? It’s not a particularly precise claim, but I’d certainly expect to see expressive similarities from groups of biologically indistinct humans living similar technological lifestyles despite their geographic or temporal separation.
Needles to say, injections are next.
No, it's not splitting.

Why not ditch the entire Apple ecosystem while you still can? Show them that we, developers, don't like feudal lords that like to tell us what we can and cannot do with our systems. So others won't dare to copy them.

Go back five years, to December 2015, and you’d find most people on Hacker News deride SpaceX’s landing attemps as impossible at worst or economically infeasible at best, three weeks before they first succeeded.

Hopefully you (like me) were one of the ones cheering them on, but achievements that seem obvious in reterospect usually have had notoriously shaky statements about how obvious they were.

Obviously the proponents are vindicated today, but it becomes a dodgy game of definitions when talking about how everyone who really had any insight knew that it was inevitable.

I have a hard time believing 1.J.[1] could be enforced as it sounds like you cannot sell your MAC, use it in a work or school environment. Apple can't risk to prove the point in court because if it is enforceable no organisation will touch their products.
To add to the point about the 8hr day/40 hour work week, it came from a serious labor movement in North America in the mid 1800s.

Which brings up an interesting reality of our time, that a push to bring about sane changes is coming from companies and not the workers (which could sadly be caused by the fact that workers have been utterly wing clipped in our hyper competitive economy to ask for anything at all).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day

^^ That came about in America because average people were fighting for it. Our new changes in remote work or short work week is oddly coming from ... god knows where. What incentive does the company have here? Someone has to follow the money to find the truth if companies are the catalysts for these initiatives.

I have a hunch that if a company is behind the movement, the end goal is to simply cut the reliance on labor and cut staff or freeze hiring.

Reasoning from analogy posits that the inverse is true: We can choose an outcome, then use a series of analogies to connect the evidence we have at hand to that outcome. This series of analogies is then codified into “knowledge”.

EULAs definitely apply in the EU. As do software patents. But as always, things are a bit more complicated than either you or pjmlp summarised. eg

- EULAs cannot deny permissions that are allowed under consumer rights.

- It's also worth adding that software licences behave slightly differently to EULAs in that software licenses are designed to provide additional rights above what copyright laws typically allow (this is particularly true in the case of open source licenses) where as EULAs are often (though not always) designed to place restrictions on top of existing consumer rights. Hence why they're often considered invalid.

- I'm not 100% on this specific point as it has been a few years ago since I've investigated it but there was once some contention about whether it's even legal to place a licence agreement to the user after said user has already purchased the product. However companies could still use an EULA to revoke support -- much like a company can revoke warranty if they suspect the device has been opened up (eg the tamper strips). The rules here might have been clarified in court since I've last investigated this point though.

- "The European Patent Convention states that software is not patentable. But laws are always interpreted by courts, and in this case interpretations of the law differ. So the European Patents Office (EPO) grants software patents by declaring them as "computer implemented inventions"." source: https://fsfe.org/activities/swpat/swpat.en.html

- Even the FSFE (Free Software Foundation Europe) quote above only tells half the story regarding Software Patents within the EU. There are some restrictions on what counts as a "computer implemented invention" plus also there are also national level patent offices that override the EPO at a local level. Wikipedia has some good summaries about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_the_Eur...

You're certainly describing failed managerial methods. And employees who aren't very good at their job.

Yet Slack isn't really the answer. Frankly, Slack is inept management's attempt to fix their own, and employee's, shortcomings.

Having a new on-board use some search function on Slack, to look through 100s of hours of conversation for "random important things", isn't going to fix that. Nor will people sifting through that junk, help when some bonehead didn't backup, or document key vital parts of a config. Or code.

If it's important, it needs to be documented. Not be stuck in a deluge of endless blather, random docs, zero real version control, the list goes on.

Beginning of switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake consensus, which will end the mining process for Ethereum and switch to securing the network by locking up funds, drastically reducing the amount of energy used to secure the network. As a side effect of the consensus change, the amount of transactions per second will scale massively. There is not universal agreement among blockchain enthusiasts that Proof of Stake is as secure as Proof of Work, but many currencies such as Cosmos and Polkadot have already implemented Proof of Stake without security issues.
This is absolutely an element at play at NIF. In fact not just the physics brains, but the experiments themselves, play a role in getting around test bans. To the point where nuke stewardship (ensuring aging warheads still will work) interferes with fusion physics.

> formal thinking is not how we learn.

The way I've thought about it is that we cannot understand a problem until we've faced it ourselves.

And too often we try to teach each other by going straight to the answer, and then it just doesn't stick.

I recall this happened to me when reading about 'soft' skills (such as collaboration methodologies), it wasn't until I was working with a team of people at a job and was faced with the problems these methodologies attempt to solve that I was able to read about them without immediately thinking "this sounds like bullshit"

Sausage is a highly processed food and definitely not good for you. Same for bacon. You can have highly processed food without chemicals: You can make processed cheese at home without the vats [1]. Not all "chemicals" are unnatural things that we didn't eat before, and some of the "chemicals" are preservatives, basically making them preserved foods.

We didn't really have frozen foods before refrigeration became common.

Bread in the 1800's wasn't very pure if you were buying the cheap stuff [2]. We weren't really eating "pure and natural" stuff before, and have been experimenting with different chemicals and things for eons. Some were fine (I'm guessing lutefisk isn't really bad for you despite the lye, same with pretzels), others weren't (lead whiteners, for example).

Just because one agency sees things as generally safe and has messed up doesn't mean all agencies have done this nor does it mean they are always wrong. Just like the fact that coke will clean battery terminals doesn't mean it is bad to have occasionally. Heck, eating lemons will destroy tooth enamel, but yet the juice will help keep scurvy away.
