How are moral, ethical or legal quandaries EVER of economic advantage to resolve?

Doing crime, cheating, being abusive, generally are more profitable than not doing it, in the absence of consequence. 'The economic self-interest' of Google is to be absolutely monstrous, if and only if it can get away with it.

And since it can…
Any way to push non-OBS content to Lightspeed? I've been trying to run a sub-second latency game-livestream (ala twitch plays), and I'd rather run it on a headless server without OBS.
I'd like to thank everyone who took time to comment and share thoughts/ideas.

All of this feedback is super valuable to me, for many reasons. The first of which being the push in the back to change my approach drastically and obsess on the product much more than on the technical beauty.

I'm not kidding, but this morning I went with an axe through the backlogs and have pushed back so many tasks that I was emotionally attached to. Now, the "MVP MUST" version is planned for the end of this month rather than March.

A change of mentality really makes you see things very differently.

Anyways, it was time for the madness to end.. right? ;-)

Thanks again!
For me, it is also a superior alternative to Tree Style Tab on Firefox. It has better keyboard shortcuts, and drag and drop support of tabs or entire subtrees is more reliable than TST.

Unloading entire subtrees and restoring them on other computers is also a nice feature that I don't want to miss anymore.

The extension is closed source, and its dev sometimes needs a few weeks for important fixes, but it is still one of my most favorite browser extensions out there.
CPA vs. MBA: What is their true value?
I am a first year auditor at a public accounting firm. I do not want to be an accountant in the future but want to start a business or work for a start-up. Does being a CPA hold true value? I have an accounting degree and am thinking about my MBA to allow me to get different jobs other than accounting. Thanks in advance!

What's the reason for allowing judges to remove jurors who admit their intent to acquit a guilty defendant?

If they can't convince other jurors, no "harm" done. If they can, then perhaps the law is overkill. The judge seems to be overpowered here.
I'm very sad to say this, but HN as a Place to discuss is not up to the standards people say it is.

I'm being downvoted for basically stating the obvious and, worse than that, by people that do not stop a second to think about what other people wrote.

I'm not putting Assange on trial, I'm not a judge, this is not a tribunal, I was just clarifying what he's been accused of!

Having said that: yes, if you are the driver in a Bank robbery, you can get arrested for "basically driving a car"

The crime is not driving, is helping other criminals to commit the crime.

Which is what Assange is accused of. He's not accused of running hashcat.

Even if he did the decryption with pen and paper and failed he would be an "accessory to the crime" (allegedly, because he's only accused of doing it)

To put it in other words, he is accused of being

> a person who knowingly and voluntarily participates in the commission of a crime.

Regardless of the crime, the simple fact that he (allegedly) helped is a crime.

Yes, I am totally agreed that the real world is often very messy. It's oh-so-easy to say how things should work when we can conveniently ignore all the other complexities of international diplomacy. All of this is hypothetical. Including, I am not trying to come to a conclusion on Assange in particular, just form opinions on how things ought to work — and from there, of course, there will be compromises.

---

I am imagining a scenario like the UN countries all agreeing on a common standard for extradition.

The guiding principle I'm working off of is that if B and C share the same law against X, then extradition is reasonable. The fuzzy line is where B and C both outlaw X, but each have their own laws against it.

On one hand, it is reasonable. If B and C both outlaw murder, then C should extradite the murderer, because the citizen can't claim ignorance, nor can they claim that "murder isn't illegal here in C."

On the other hand, I have trouble seeing how you'd write a consistent standard here. Sure, it's easy to equivocate premeditated murder across different laws, but what about even manslaughter? Then it requires both countries to have the same definition of negligence, etc.

So basically, the only form of extradition treaty that doesn't seem to pose an unreasonable burden on tourists is, "Here is a set of laws that are enforced in both B and C. If you break these laws in B and then flee to C (or vice versa), you are still under jurisdiction of the law you broke, so you may be extradited."

In practice, that might look like CHN and KOR signing a treaty that unifies their libel law. Then, if you commit libel against someone in CHN while in KOR, you may be extradited. This is quite reasonable, since a tourist would be expected to learn KOR libel law before travelling there.

> I'll just note that in your example, if C is just trying to stay neutral and acting of its own accord, then the correct term would be that C would deport the suspect to A rather than extradite the suspect to A, unless A is seeking extradition in its own right.

Thanks, edited.
Didn't change their crime rates either and their failure was doing it too early and spend a lot of money on analog cameras.
It doesn't matter what you think is investigative journalism.

What Assange did is investigative journalism... as proven by Bellingcat, that literally bought private phone, flight, bank and train ticket data on private individuals to show how FSB tried to kill Navalny.
I think trying to "help change their opinion" or "help correct misconceptions" is also counter-productive. Just accept that they have a different opinion and deal with that. It can be a challenge, but you can't avoid dealing with other ppl's different opinions. It's life.

I am not against unionizing. But Hollywood's unions did not stop sexual harassement, in fact we've seen it was the norm with several names in the industry recently convicted for sexual harassement, assault and even rape.

I don't see how a union will help these issues. They may demonstrate the power of collective action, but not the utility of a union for these particular types of issues.

Which programming language do you use on a daily basis?
Greetings.

I am wondering which programming languages are used on a daily basis in production. If you could name the language, some tooling and purpose of use.

Obviously, one can always refer to stackoverflow, TIOBE, etc. polls, charts, statistics, based on which one can have a relative overview. Yet it does not convince that much, taking into account that "loved"/hobby/side-projects/etc. programming languages != programming languages used in production. Moreover, there are too many announcements, articles, news about promising technologies/languages that are going to change forever / disrupt / revolutionize the whole technological domain. Nowadays, it looks ridiculous, as if there is a plant of devs who churn out new language or framework every single day.

Don't get me wrong, progress is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with enhancing existing tech stack to make live at work easier. We do not have to sweat every single day to resolve simple problems.

I belive you got my point.

Very interested in looking at the real piture.

Appreciate your comments and time in advance. :)
> So is the answer then that some synthetic chemicals remain?

That's the opposite of what he said. He said other chemicals can not be created.
That is exactly what unions do. They setup contracts with the employer to ensure protections and compensation using collective bargaining to balance out the power of the employer for the employer.

Collectively bargaining for hundreds or thousands of employees is obviously more powerful then a single individual bargaining against the same employer, especially when you factor in the information and resource asymmetry that exists in the latter situation.
What in the mission statement seems to be "personal agendas" to you?

Here they are listed:

- All Alphabet workers deserve a voice

- Social and economic justice are paramount to achieving just outcomes

- Everyone deserves a welcoming environment

- All aspects of our work should be transparent

- Our decisions are made democratically

- We prioritize society and the environment

- We stand in solidarity with workers and advocates everywhere

Full statement: https://alphabetworkersunion.org/principles/mission-statemen...

All in all, seems to be good values to want to have in a workplace, especially such a global and pervasive one as Google. If all of these things were pushed for and implemented in Google, you think that would harm the workers?

Despite the common fantasy here that if someone was not appearing in public in China means they must have 'disappeared', what usually happen is they come out again and then the news pretending this whole episode never happened.

According to google ngrams the frequency of 'satisfied that' is 0.00026% in British English and 0.00012% in American English. So only a factor of 2 difference. Interestingly the peak of American usage was in the 1860s (~0.001%), followed by a slow decline, but in Britain there was a small peak around 1920 (~0.00127%), then a higher peak in the 1940s (~0.002%), followed by a rapid decline to the present day.
I don’t understand this:

A, AAAA, TXT - set record

A, AAAA - check key

TXT - read value

Dynamic DNS supports all of these options directly. Why are additional records used for the key and value? IXFR could instead be used to check if a record is up-to-date rather than overloading A and AAAA in their meaning?

I’m probably missing something about how these records are meant to be used together. Is there a protocol doc available?
I can't say for sure, I'm not a linguist.

But it's probably because of a declension choosing process which I described. Take "ра́дио", for example - it has this "ио" thing in the ending that is really not typical to Russian, so it made people think "hey, this word is weird, we probably shouldn't touch it when speaking", and since a lot of people thought this way, this became codified.

Now, some other loanwords are not that weird, for example "пальто́" - it's not that different from "окно́", or "весло́", or "ремесло́", and in fact, rarely people do decline it, like "пальта́", "у меня есть два пальта́", "у меня есть пятеро па́льт" - but it's rare, and "officially", it also has no declensions, probably to make things simpler.

Thanks!

Right, it is hard. But I like challenges; so I'll keep trying =)

I don't like dwelling on the past too much, but I find it incredibly useful to look back every once in a while, and take a good hard look at what I accomplished.

There are different ways to look at things. I've quit a well paying job, but managed to keep the same quality of life (even improved in some aspects, independently of Covid-madness), I launched a company, had new and interesting experiences, met cool new people, published a book, etc.

We can tell as many stories as we like in life. Ain't that fun? :p
Well, Obama claimed he sent in a team to kill him and dump his body in the ocean, during an election year, even though the French intelligence agencies said he was probably dead for at least 7 years. That seal team also died in a helicopter crash later, but it wasn't "the same seal team."

Honestly I don't understand how Americans still trust our news sources today.
>>curious why this is so.

I think because real estate investors have enough capital to take over cool areas.

A stark counterexample is Japan where you can own a freestanding house in a dense urban environment near public transit for $300k -- what would that cost you in London, NYC, Berlin? It seems like Japan is one of the few major cities where you could have a large family (or large studio) and live an urban life -- everywhere else you are stuck with a 2BR or 3BR apt (if your rich).

Don't get too downhearted by the downvotes.

I get the feeling people in this thread are getting mixed up between the difference of what people think is right or should be right and what the courts and laws say.

I think Assange was a hero. At the same time, the claim that he tried to help crack a US military hash to assist with extracting files does sound pretty illegal on the face of it, despite its good intentions and positive outcomes for truth and journalism.

Just because you did good by breaking the law, or that you broke the law in the name of journalism, doesn't provide you protection from the courts in the eyes of the law (And particularly not at a magistrates court!).

WTH? Most people here don't know recent US history anymore ? Just look at what unions did to the people of Detroit ?

Sure, on paper it seems like a good idea to fight the rich company to give employees a bigger share of the profit, but do remember: it's not the employee that decides how much profit is enough for the company to have. If the investors/CEO/boss doesn't feel the profit is enough, they/he/she can close the company. Unions always will protect the weaker worker (regardless of the domain) and subtract value form the better workers.

If some employees don't like what Google is doing, they can protest (as they did). Also they can leave. Twisting the arm of the boss to give you more, when has that worked in the long run ?
Ah, if only our governments would take companies from billionaires too!

Whether it's their "job" or not it's exactly in line with their rulings. Whether it's taking gold from Venezuela, trying to prevent the Brexit train from going off the cliff or this, realpolitik is clearly never far from their mind.

If their job were to give out fair rulings they wouldn't pretend that Assange was a spy not a journalist and they wouldnt try to hold Venezuelan gold hostage by picking winners in a foreign election.

What unions have you seen/participated in? What countries are those located in? Could you imagine a union that does something that is not shared with those unions you've seen?

Being unlike other unions doesn't have to bad, could be great thing. Why not improve on top of the idea of unions and try to come up with something even better? Seems like an excellent idea, especially in these times of "disruption" of industries left and right.

Yes, this applies to both DDR5 and LPDDR5. Leaks indicate that DDR5 CPUs and motherboards by Intel and AMD are not going to be out this year though, at least not on the desktop.
Well, no, you didn't fix the bug. You collected a datum about the bug: it caused a variable to have a value that it should not have had. Now you know something about it that you maybe didn't know before.

When you say "Great! You fixed the bug, right?" it sounds like a paraphrase of a passage in my essay that I had some misgivings about when I wrote it. But I thought, surely nobody's going to think I really mean the problem is definitely solved? Surely, people will realize its a bit of hyperbole.

Maybe not. Maybe I should have instead written it more soberly. Maybe I should have just said "Now you've collected a bit of data about the nature of the bug."
This tutorial aims to be beginner friendly, assuming you have a background in functional programming. However the pace is very brisk and would serve better for an intermediate learner familiar with the concepts. As a practical tool it would not provide much unless you really know what you are doing and plan to leverage the use of SMT Solvers and code generation. You'd be better off with simpler and more focused learning materials. The Little Prover or Software Abstractions for example.
> the strongest arguments for unionizing is that maybe this time it will somehow be different than other unions

I think the strongest argument for unionizing is that we know that this time is different from other times - wealth inequality is staggeringly high.
This is why electric cars needs smart charging - plug it in when you get home, and expect for it to be charged by the time you need to go to work - but the actual charging hours should be linked to the grid in order to manage overall demand.
