It's worth noting that postmarketOS and Mobian already support Librem 5, and running other distros like Arch, Fedora etc. on it by yourself is not a challenge for someone reasonably comfortable with GNU/Linux. Running Plasma Mobile via pmOS is a no brainer, and I've almost got UBports (Ubuntu Touch) to run there already as well (it struggled with one quirk of the etnaviv driver last time I tried it, resulting in garbled display content, but it worked otherwise).
It's very interesting how Tesla could come out so well from all those policies. Of course the factory in China was crucial...it was a lucky timing that Tesla got the license from China just in time to be productive during and in spite of the pandemic.
Show HN: Does Santa Have Covid? Answering the most important question this year
> other companies that create self-driving cars are, and will likely continue to offer rides in their cars through existing ride sharing companies

That remains to be seen. If a company is able to create self driving cars, what's the value add provided by Uber and Lyft? Having a middleman TNC platform skim some profits doesn't really make sense from that perspective.

Compared to achieving reliable and cost effective autonomy at scale, building a ride sharing app is trivial, and customers have indicated that they're willing to install another app if the fares are cheaper. The complexity of getting a self driving service is high enough that there probably will be only a few entrants in the market, unlike the current value add provided by the TNC apps that match customers with a large pool of individual providers.

I've never heard of a company unilaterally enforcing a resignation with zero discussion. Whenever I've resigned HR always required an explicit, dated letter. Your statement that they were 'forced' to 'accept' her resignation at 'gunpoint' is all-round ludicrous.

If they were really 'forced' to accept her resignation, what harm would informing her that they couldn't meet her demands do? It seems painfully obvious to me they didn't want to risk working it out and just used this as an opportunity to get rid of her.
Around 2015 or so I audiobook'd the book "The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes and Why" by Amanda Ripley [2009].

This book covers similar topics that you do in your comment. One is from a chief security employee in the Twin Towers, along the lines of "Never run to the roof". Which he did to try to save more people, which IIRC he didn't//couldn't.

In other related stories, taking note of emergency exists whilst boarding an airplane [and similar for other folks in similar situations] noted out better survival over others. "Triangle crowding" at exits is also mentioned, which is partly why folks in charge scream "single file! walk do not run" at you as everyone rushes for the door to escape.

The distinction is also made between "flight" and "fight" and the often left-out "freeze" response to in-time disaster.

I found it a worth-while read.

‘DeSantis sent the Gestapo’: Fired Florida Covid data scientist films home raid
The denominator is certainly staggeringly large, but to conclude the chance is staggeringly low, don't we need also to know that incidence is relatively-staggeringly low? I don't know if that's (known to be) the case?

i.e. time and space can be as large as you like if life's everywhere you look.
It’s obviously not the case, just a silly take. Do we really think “the state” is involved in telling police how to do their raids? Like DeSantis walked in to their planning meeting said to be extra mean, just to teach her a lesson?
Yes IP addrs are shared and rotated, etc.

That does not negate the fact that an ISP can trivially correlate a time-stamped IP addr with a specific user.

Scammer dragged you into his turf and thrown dirt on you until you basically give up.

You cannot communicate scammers into doing what you want.

The solution is to auto-send all callers not in your address book into voicemail.

The only solution to phone scams is some sort of government oversight and enforcement, possibily delegating part of responsibility to providers for allowing criminal behaviors to take place.
Basically KYC for telecoms or charge people extra for making un-auth phone calls.

This will make scams very expensive and turn them into losing business proposition.
I don't know if you guys realize it or not but there's a new cottage industry around artisan flavored paper straws. People soon realized paper disturbs the flavor profile of beverages and took that as an opportunity to shape and craft the profiles to their liking given the inevitable. There's all kinds of sustainably grown hemp and bamboo paper straws that add some real interesting notes and aftertastes to a beverage that can actually be paired to illuminate and compliment the natural flavors of the many things we enjoy drinking. There's a new art in it, it's the proverbial lemons to lemonade moment and people are capitalizing on it as long as the once beloved plastic straws remain regulated out of the picture. This is actually how progress happens if you think about it.

This is largely dependent on the passive collection capabilities of a particular anti-cheat. Sometimes getting a copy is useful to just to make 100% sure the detection you wrote works as intended. Sometimes it's because the techniques used are novel. Most anti-cheat vendors do this.
Yup. You can even hear her complaining about the cops pointing guns at her children while she's outside the house and can't possibly know what the police are pointing guns at. I'd bet she was planning this smear campaign from the moment police showed up at her house.

Having guns drawn while making sure there's no threat in the house is perfectly normal. I'd do the exact same if I was executing a search warrant.

I'm a person that it serves and don't see it sending a bad message. They can use it in inclement weather to deliver supplies, such as after hurricanes. They also tend to deploy the armor at events that are high risk prior to an attack.
Chemical, oil, etc., are competitive markets where cost increases rapidly get passed into consumers. So the most accurate description would be:

Sure it is; what else could justify means?

It is often recognized that there is a tendency to make arguments about ends justifying means when the benefits realistically foreseeable from an action are not such that they should be seen as justifying the particular means, though.
I saw an inertia-less, extremely fast aircraft playing around above the Sierra Nevadas one night about 22 years ago. Obviously you all don't know me from Adam, so I don't expect this to update your priors much, but my personal evidence threshold is pretty low now.

Of course the cops have an obligation to be there. Regardless of whatever legal principle you're referring to states, it will not take long for a police officer to be fired if they refuse to do any work.
They have no legal obligation to be there or do that job. If they refuse, there can be no punishment. This has gone to the federal courts, and even the Supreme Court, several times. Cops have absolutely zero legal obligation to enforce the law. There's no sense in you even trying to disagree with this because the highest court in the land had consistently declared it as the law.

On your second point... I agree? Cops are forcing themselves into people's homes with the express intent of fucking shit up, that's why they enter armed and dangerous, the same as a thief. Is that what you're saying? Because that's what I'm saying. Do you sympathize with the thief? I don't, the same as I don't sympathize with the cop.

Edit: to clarify - the cop could be entering the home as a neighbor and a friend, and that's what everyone would prefer. Unfortunately, cops decided long ago they'd rather hold onto their right to kill with no questions asked, so now they're no better than a methhead busting down a door. It's ultimately their fault for this image, and they're the only ones that can fix it.
Same for me on DSLExtreme! I've contacted their support about the issue.

The Ainu are believed to be descendants of the Joumon and related peoples, whose presence in the Japanese archipelago indeed precedes the introduction of the Yayoi people who are thought to be the main stock of the currently dominant ethnic group of Japan.

The thing is, though, the latter arrivals were some 2~3000 years ago. For comparison, the Yayoi incursion not only predates not only the entire traceable history of the Inuit people, but also that of the (unrelated) Dorset culture that they're believed to have driven out. I'm not sure there's a principled metric by which Canada's whalers are "Indigenous peoples following their traditional ways" and nearly all Japanese people aren't.
Sonic might be the best avenue to get this fixed. They care about their customers and presumably can talk with AT&T in a much more meaningful way.

> It seems as though there is this common misconception that Rust does not have a concept of null.

I don't think that's quite relevant, though. Rust doesn't have a concept of nulls like like Java, Javascript, Python, etc do in which just about any variable might contain a value or null. Rust certainly doesn't have that.

> The talent there tops out at SSE

That was my experience at an F500 in the midwest. I wasn't a senior engineer but I was doing the same type of work as the seniors on my team. And I felt like my role could have more ownership. They did have team leads, a few architects, and agile related roles. But there wasn't much else for devs who didn't want to be managers.

My current company in the bay area is a lot better. I feel like I have more ownership, and the IC roles are more granular. I think technically senior can be terminal, and staff/principal roles here require influencing other teams. But my company has thought about promoting ICs, and I clearly see how staff/principals have a more challenging job.

Ask HN: Quoting/invoicing stack for B2B SaaS
Hi HN,

We're growing pretty fast and just set up a new legal framework for our SaaS with our lawyers. I'd like to set up a system that does the following:

* When we move a client from Demo to Proposal in our CRM, create a quote template

* The quote template is cloud-based, includes a statement of work for one-time implementation fee, a bunch of legalese, and an e-signature field

* When the client e-signs the quote, the CRM status is updated from Proposal->Won, a receivable is created in our accounting system, and the client has the option of paying via Stripe.

We happen to use Xero and Copper for accounting and CRM, and could switch CRM if needed.

I have a friend who works at a much larger organization where they use Zuora CPQ for billing+quoting, and Salesforce as CRM, but that's overkill for us. I've also noticed that Stripe is coming out with a quoting tool (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/quotes), but it's not clear that it'll be able to integrate with the CRM or include e-signatures. It looks like Qwilr might work, if we switched from Copper to Pipedrive.

In any case, I was wondering what others use for this?
It’s amusing seeing Cupertino city council transcripts about this because the people show up claiming 5G gives them cancer and the city council desperately tries to get them to use better excuses so they can approve denying it.

Comcast has this weird system that allows users to open their WiFi AP to other Comcast customers, in return for the ability to hop on to any other "open" Comcast AP.

AFAIK, Comcast made it opt-out.

So, someone could have driven by to use her AP specifically in order to implicate her.

It actually was one. I remember playing as a young kid on a Windows 95 PC. I never got the grasp of the game mechanics or shuffled the right items to the right places. I always ended up either drowning or getting murdered. There were two guys who would kill you: a Russian named Vlad who would find you in the ship if you stole the diamond necklace, and a guy whose name escapes me, who would kill you with a pipe in the boiler room (can't remember why).
I think it had suffered death by incompatibility by the time I tried to revisit in ~Windows 7 days.

Of course they do. There are plenty of developing and underdeveloped countries where that’s how it works. Go see how well that works out for them.
I guess a third option would be to use an "Option" but with much more syntactic sugar. So, rather than calling func(some(3)), you'd just call func(3) and the compiler would automatically wrap it up. Func would be declared this way: def func(int?) to indicate that it's an optional type. IMO you get the best of both world. And then, in many places in the code, you'd have to do "r?.foo()" if r is an Option type. It's different than javascript where the "?" isn't enforced by the compiler.
