> It's also unreasonable that she will get to choose her leaving date at her own liking. When wanting to part way, either side has the full right to choose an earlier date.

People choose their end date all the time. That's just standard. Sometimes the company moves a date up, sometimes the two parties negotiate a different date for some reason, sometimes people are fired.

If it's an at-will employment state, both parties can choose whatever date they like. But if the employer terminates employment early, that's generally a firing. If an employment does so, we call it quitting.

> Let's look at a small example. Say I'll commit suicide if you go and see your kids today. Now it's only one day, and you (as a decent person) will probably skip seeing your kids for one day to save one life.

> Now if I say I'll quit my job if you go to see your kids today. You would probably say "Then, please quit."

Use whatever analogy works for you, ultimately the point is the same. Someone can threaten to do something, but if you do it for them it's different than if they do it themselves.

If someone says "I'll quit" and the company disables their badge and security escorts them out, they've been fired.
Agreed. For me, the switch to group mailboxes in urban/suburban areas reduced package theft, since my last few group mailboxes have had parcel lockers, so I attributed that to the lack of USPS concern regarding package theft. I've only had one item delivered to the door by USPs in the last 6 years or so.

That's my major concern with the attempt to privatize the postal service. Right now, parcels through USPS are protected federally, but I don't think that extends to private couriers like UPS/FedEx/Amazon. These private couriers are also unable to use your mailbox/parcel lockers (which does make sense since these individuals aren't vetted like postal employees are).

Removing protections from parcels by privatizing all mail is rather chilling, as I strongly doubt we'll get similar legal protections.
It would be good to see some charts[1] similar to the zfs zstd integration. At that time, I found it notable that LZ4 was still the most optimized point for anyone without an actual preference between speed and compression.

They are two sides of the same coin, but the law in some countries recognises that the employer has more power, and so favours the worker and makes it harder for the employer to terminate an employee without making it harder for the employee to quit.

Well to start with ultra processed as defined by the article would include...

All cured meats

Meat that has been shredded ground and or blended such as hamburger or meatballs

Breads and pastries

Yogurts, cheese, and ice cream

Anything with a roux or other thickening agent

Candy

Most fried foods

Anything with preservatives added

Anything including alcohol

Anything that has been artificially colored

It's not hard to see how those add ups.
Definitely differences, but I'm not convinced it matters so much, at least in healthy people.

E.g., lots of people eat a whole lot of white rice and seem to do quite well on it. The Hadza, a tribe in africa, at certain times of the year, get about half their calories from honey, and they are very healthy. And fruit would certainly also have to be in the rocket-fuel category, no?

(If you're already unhealthy (e.g. type II diabetic), there seems to be a lot of benefit in going very-low or no-carb.)
the law requries either consent or legitimate interest ( there are even more options - but not relevant here ). So they can track you without consent and not breaking the law.
Hi. Great work! We are using https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider and fairly happy with what it provides. How is it different? better than this popular open-source package?
QuickCheck was probably the thing that stuck the most when delving into Haskell. While, I don't use Haskell daily, using some kind QuickCheck derivative in whatever language I'm working in is something that has stuck.

It makes doing "TDD" much more appealing as you're not stuck thinking of the test cases all the time. You run it long enough, add any counter example it finds to your test suite.
There's been a decade or so of stories about the worsening state of the Navy overall, haven't there? Things like ships colliding and commanders being caught up in large corruption schemes?

Perhaps the existing, "floats on water Navy" feels abandoned and unregarded because their only remaining function is to be a cover story?

Assume for a moment this is true; and there's these new interlinked technologies available now that are hard to make at present, but it's like the first Gatling gun: people are going to figure it out. The world can be kept in the dark only so long once you actually show this and make any use of it, so how to maximize your advantage in that time?
It's a real kick in the balls isn't it. We've been spared having to sell my parents' house for now because my mom died last week of Alzheimers. Now facing the prospect of having to think about it all over again for my father. I need to start living better.
That's not a bad analogy. There is also a neat link possible with smalltalk: compile smalltalk objects directly to hardware.
Yeah that's fine if you're vertically integrated already and have a captive customer that would likely line up around the block for your chip even if it was worse.

My question is, if you're a hw startup that is looking for a bulk buyer, how do you land that buyer. Or, alternatively how do you get bought by apple so they put your startup's chip? How do you compete with sham artists like nervana that are good at talking the talk?

Or is it hopeless? Is there only room for skunk works internal hardware r&d embedded in multibillion dollar companies?
I'm really happy to see a service like this and I wish you the best of successes. BUT :) If you're going to call yourself the "Stripe of X", please work on reaching the bar they've set for documentation.
Thanks for mentioning all these great articles and efforts! :) I hope more people will explore everything you've listed here. As you say, we need to go even further and more radical than e.g. GNU to address the tar pit we find ourselves in today, and so the more we can get people imagining what the future could be like, the better.

> (Side note: former Mozillian here, and there's no real excuse for why the Firefox contribution process itself hasn't worked like this for the last 10 years except for Mozilla's infamously poor competence at almost all things re project management.)

As a former Mozillian myself, I agree it's quite sad that so many paths that would have eased contribution and supported a universe of surrounding projects were sacrificed on the altar of Firefox. The management team at Mozilla doesn't seem to understand the huge impact the organisation could have had by supporting a whole ecosystem and way of building / thinking about software.

> The Malleable Systems Collective <https://malleable.systems/> was introduced this past spring, but seems to have fizzled since then, possibly due to COVID-related dampening effects.

(With my Malleable Systems Collective organiser hat on...) I think it's been a difficult year for most people, and it has been harder than I hoped to find time for this effort in 2020. Actually though, the website is a bit deceptive: while the blog has been pretty quiet, the Matrix room (https://matrix.to/#/#malleable-systems:matrix.org) has an active community regularly trading ideas in this space.

I'm hoping to have some more time and energy in 2021 for both experiments and writing that add to both the collective and the more general conversation that you are highlighting here.
While true, government-held patents are a bit more preemptive and should ultimately prevent any profiteering on patents while the patent is challenged.
Netlify maintains its own edge network that's actually deployed across various clouds. You are right that Netlify uses AWS lambdas to power Netlify Functions, but that was chosen for the wide support AWS lambda enjoys as a standard. The upcoming edge handlers (in beta) execute javascript directly on Netlify edge nodes worldwide.
The errors I've seen with some startups is that they rely on the unsubscribe mechanism of the mail sending platform, but then they use their customer-base emails across multiple mail sending platforms (and obviously people unsubscribe from one but they remain subscribed on the others).

Hopefully it's not the case here with Stripe (fingers-crossed)

I worked in undergrad as a research assistant in an astrophysics simulation project and was involved in some of the numerical programming. I found the work very interesting and intellectually rewarding.

Unfortunately, IME, the effort vs financial reward ratio is completely blown out of the water by general software. I make >3x what the postdocs were making with less experience, less education, and (speaking generally) less intelligence.

Obviously there are industry positions that pay better, but the general trend is you will be compensated far less than you could doing general software development.
1. Right now, we only support email + password login. But plan on supporting MFA soon. The exact supported methods are TBD.

2. The reason that happens is because we do not use iframes for the login UI. We provide a React component instead. The issue with that is that there might be CSS clashes and to prevent that, we use shadow-root (HTML feature). On certain browsers, password managers do not work with a shadow-root. So we provide a config that the user can set to disable the use of shadow-root. This would solve the password manager problem, but the developer will have to make sure that CSS does not clash.

3. This behaviour is the default one to quickly get started. We provide callbacks on the backend SDK that devs can override to send a password reset email using their own email ID domain.

I'm not Swedish. I'm from one of those full-on democracies without a monarch, so take this opinion with some salt.

The king isn't an infections disease expert, but he's not an idiot, and he can get any experts he want to tell him what's going on. He's also the one person "in government" who can speak truth about the prime minister without fearing the prime minister's wrath. This lets the king be the one who can say what needs to be said when nobody else will say it.

hey, dev advocate for workers here!

you can definitely do something similar with workers sites.

we recently added workers kv - the storage mechanism behind workers sites - to our free workers tier, so you can host your static sites on workers for free as well.

pages is an evolution of that with better tooling/dx for people who want to get a static site up on our network and want things like deploy previews and pre-configured github integration.

if you want to just have workers do the hosting and want to do all the CI stuff yourself, you can use something like wrangler-action[1] to simplify the process on github actions, or just install wrangler[2] (our CLI) as part of your CI workflow and do `wrangler publish` at the end.

i wrote our github action, so if you decide to go that route, happy to help debug or look over the project to make sure it'll do what you want - i'm @signalnerve on twitter, DMs are open :)

I've been running Suse for a couple of years on a lot of my kit, and it's been pretty worry free once I learned the deltas from my previous distro (e.g. zypper instead of apt).

Usually not an issue, but make sure your favorite workflows/apps come over painlessly.

... and then other employees raising a stink, perhaps in the hope, misguided or not, that the company will reverse its decision or change its behaviour to help its PR. The employer can use whatever power they think they have, but so can the employees. It's one thing to say that what the employees did wasn't a wise way to achieve their goal, but it's a whole other thing to say that what they did is wrong.

It is a really good question :-).

I came across his work because I noodle occasionally on a thread of questions that started with "is there a maximum RF frequency?" and the implications that leads to.

My hypothesis is that there must be such a limit, given that EM waves propagate at the speed of light, thus their wavelength is the c (ms)/ f(Hz) and I could not really imagine a wavelength that is shorter than the Planck constant. But a related question is the propagation of the E and B fields, which change with respect to frequency, and so what is the limit to their change rate (first derivative) with respect to the speed of light (or looked at another way, the ability of space-time to accommodate that change), all very interesting corner cases like looking at gravity on the event horizon of a black hole.

Anyway, you start going down this rat hole you find a lot of "interesting" ideas (and begin to wonder if maybe you're one of the crazies and you just don't know it yet :-)). There are a lot of easily composed questions in that space, like "Can you conduct a current in a wire that is thinner than an electron?" Which have simple answers like (there is no metal smaller than compressed hydrogen so you can't create such a wire so you can't get there from here,) And less simple answers, "What are the electrical properties of a wire made out of compressed hydrogen then?" (which was the focus of one of the room-temperature superconductor experiments).

You may find, as I have, you sometimes get math that "works" in that you've not violated any mathematical principles in deriving it, but doesn't represent a physically realizable system.

My guess, is that this guy ended up down one of those paths and has a nice, mathematically sound, derivation which, if realized into a system, would have some pretty interesting attributes. And yet the tricky bit is that last one. Sort of the mass-less pulley problem. So many interesting things are possible if you can precisely bend (or smooth!) spacetime, but how you get there from here is a still strictly in the realm of science fiction.

Worth to mention in the same area regarding authorization engine with APIs is OPA [1] which is relying on a Datalog inspired language: Rego.

I agree with you that authorization is lacking a set of standards allowing interoperability. The only known practical one XACML, has not seen wide adoption. OPA through its design and API allow useful feature for Enterprise use cases for which Styra [2] (founder of OPA) is selling a solution based on those APIs.

>The regulation explicitly forbids annoying banners

You have to love how the regulator did not even try to define what they mean by "annoying". Thus making the whole law completely useless.

In my book, any single pixel of my limited screen real estate that gets dedicated to this useless regulation is annoying. If the EU wants to enforce this, they need to provide a way for me to basically say "Yes, I agree with all tracking cookies for all sites forever", and never see a banner again.
If email (or another mode of ) verification was added I'd be entirely on board for my next project (still in planning stage)

The "cookie law" as part of the ePD is indeed older than the GDPR, but the GDPR kinda supersedes it by including all tracking/data collection not just cookie data collection.

It's also not entirely correct that the GDPR would require going through the Irish DPA or wherever a company in violation has their primary EU presence for tax purposes. True, the GDPR says the nation where a company has the primary presence of business within the EU take lead within the EU should take lead, but the French courts figured out that Google's Irish subsidy is actually not making any decisions, the US parent is, and therefore it's fine for the French watchdog to issue fines skipping Ireland [1].

For situations like this add "for $10k you get a commercial license". (Pick whatever price you think is right). Put that in your readme for visibility.

If they are paying lawyers $500/hr to review licenses for peace of mind, they can afford $10k for commercial license.

If they don't want to pay $10k then they are freeloaders and you're not loosing anything.

This is something that sqlite does. See https://www.sqlite.org/prosupport.html:

"The SQLite source code is in the public domain, and is free for use by anyone and for any purpose. No license is required. However, some users desire a license so that they can have warranty of title, or just because their company lawyers say they need one. A perpetual license and warranty of title for the core SQLite source code is available for this purpose."
