I agree, but this is a matter of semantics.
There is nothing in the physical universe that supports morality.

Rights are components of a moral framework, inherently philosophical - unless you believe in a god. When someone says something IS a right, they are really saying "This is a fundamental assumption in the moral framework I believe to describe a just world"
Except that they can't. If they came in legally then those sites wouldn't hire them. They're hired for the fact that they are undocumented, and therefore can be paid a fraction of what is legally required.

As an activist, I finally figured out that advocating an affirmative agenda is easier than trying to stop someone else's agenda. tldr: offense beats defense.

I try to share this hard earned wisdom with other noob activists. "Ya, ya, ya. I agree. Now tell me what you're FOR. What changes, reforms do you advocate?"

It's not an easy sell. People are strongly inclined to punch back, join the food fight, get dirty.
Yes, I remember my friend who had the ZX81 originally took great pains to make sure the table was stable and you shouldn't knock it - we didn't realise how serious it was until it died when we were typing code in and it died.

I think his dad ended up taping it in place so that it was less likely.

As much as I think this proposal is unneeded, harmful, draconian and problematic in other ways, I disagree with this apple-to-oranges what-aboutisms in legislation.

You can absolutely attempt improvements in one dimension while othe r more important ones are sorely neglected.

The article is unclear abot the panel, buit I guess they have little impact on the issues you mentioned.
You can't preemptively "enforce a contract" by denying someone their basic human rights. Can you explain the ethical system that could possibly lead you to believe otherwise?
So then they can go somewhere else. There are billion of people living outside of the US. To suggest they are slaves because they chose to illegally enter the US makes no sense.
I don't understand how reflection is involved here? Don't you just have a data model (schema) that can be interacted with?
It's definitely possible. It just depends on local gas and electricity prices.

For example, in CA current regular grade fuel is about $3.40/gal. A Prius gets 60mpg, which works out to 6c/mile.

For electricity, the average rate in CA is 24c/kWh. A model 3 uses 250 Wh/mile which works out to 6c/mile.

So exactly the same price per mile. A small change in either fuel price could advantage one or the other.

Of course you can take advantage of overnight lower EV charging rates, or drive to an area with cheaper gas, but at least with current average energy prices, there isn't a huge difference in per mile energy consumption costs.

They actually kinda are though, obscenity laws and all that; it's why a lot of japanese content have comically ineffective censor bars strewn about.
Electric engines are much simpler and should last a lot longer than ICE, so that extra upfront cost will be divided over a lot more miles, and there will be a lot less maintenance expense.
While I agree in general, if you are going to fosdem, you are part of a self-selected group that will jump this hurdle without second thought.
Sorry, to clarify: I meant end up at zero gain, not zero as in loss. So instead of losing money, it would just be not having gained anything in 10 years, which is not that unlikely, and has happened. Ask me, that is 10 years of potential profit loss, had you invested differently.
In F#, you would naturally approach this by defining a Customer independent of the Account (e.g. just containing a name and address), and an Account independent of the Customer (e.g. just containing an ID), and then a Bank which is a mapping of Account to Set<Customer>. What you see as a cyclic dependency, I see as a data type that you haven't reified.

It can be mitigated, and companies are working on it. However, there is no NIC offering hardware QUIC protocol offload that I'm currently aware of. Part of what makes it challenging is one of the features of QUIC: That the protocol headers are themselves encrypted.
But when? Immediately? As somebody who has worked abroad myself I wouldn't think it appropriate if I suddenly was granted citizenship in a country for just working there for a few years. There should always be a path to citizenship, but I think it is reasonable that you have to live somewhere a decade or so and show that you have a basic understanding of the culture and language first.
Windows for development for me is not a question for the filesystem alone.

Deleting a large folder like node_modules seems to take ages on windows as compared to macOS or Linux.
I would have thought passenger cars would have to be even higher than 55mpg to get a “fleet average” of 55.

What are the vehicles getting more than 55 such that passenger vehicles can get less?
You're suggesting that the math department is out of line with the universities propaganda? Are you aware that they're also axing humanities departments? They're not axing applied science departments. Your "experiment" doesn't really match reality.

As to how you would implement it, Poland recently had a proposal that if you were banned from a social media website, you can appeal via the government in a certain period of time.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25736155

I'm not a lawyer, so I might be saying a bunch of nonsense here, but you could categorize the social media into topical (eg. HN is about technology) or "general purpose", off-topic services (Facebook, Youtube). Or just do it by the size of user base. Facebook has like a 2 or 3 billion users, let's not pretend it's the same as a comment section on your blog.

It's just to throw some ideas around, because again, not a lawyer, so I can't come up with a robust policy on the spot and take care of every potential loophole.
Actually, they jumped after it made sense. There is a cohort of twitter people who are jumping on anything that is making the news to appear to be edgy.

To reply to both you and the original question, I talked about Goodhart's Law [0] recently with upper management on the topic of D&I. Since metrics become useless as they are used to define goals, there is a constant need to rise above expectations. To paraphrase one executive, D&I is a process and not just a checkbox.

There's actually a kernel patch that basically separates every pcie device into its own iommu group (linux-vfio on arch). You shouldn't do that if you need the security provided by proper iommu groups, but it works for a gaming vm.

According to Wendell on Level1Linux, the reset bug should be fixed on AMD 6000 series gpus.
Ask HN: Is Reddit unavailable through Tor browser?
I always get the message "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" This has been happening for sometime now. I am able to access reddit through non-Tor network.
Err.. forgot Dodge was Chrysler and was bought by Fiat, you're right and I need to get some rest this WSB thing has been been horible for my sleep patterns.
I don't see the difference. "Sync for reddit" a custom client for reddit. It was suspended for "hate speech". Then why isn't the official reddit app not suspended?
I’m having a hard time understanding why you think F# is unable to handle the domain model presented.
Certainly not great, I imagine.

That being said, there is a substantive difference between being hired at a salary and suddenly having your salary cut. The former is why companies try to hide what everyone is paid; to avoid the lower paid workers from feeling screwed and advocating for more money. But having corporate come in and say “your labor is now worth 70% what it was before” creates unavoidable feelings of being valued less by the company, because that’s exactly what’s happening.
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.

And 30 minutes is a pretty short period to get a representative sample of a service used by billions for many different activities (messaging, video calls, hobby groups, marketplace). The 'feed' that you scroll through is definitely a mixed bag, but Facebook has added focus to more specific and niche apps over time.

For my family we use Facebook because it is cross platform (25 people, several with Android, most with iPhone, and some that like to use it by web), everyone already has an account (ages from 25 to 65), and the quality of the service is high and consistent for both messages and video calls. We frequently do a video call with all members of the family across many devices and 'it just works'.}

Also, meeting in person hasn't really been 'allowed' in almost a year. #covid19
I've wondered about this. It makes sense in theory, but it seems like if you have data loss on one channel and need retransmission, you probably also have data loss on other channels so they'll end up waiting for their own retransmissions anyway. It seems more like an inherent issue with building reliable streams on an unreliable channel.

I'm sure there's hard research on it. Anyone know some good papers?
What do you mean by "their system"?

Similar restrictions exist in the EU, Canada and Japan — I'm not familiar with the rest of the world. I suspect developing new products in China is much easier, and you can showcase them anywhere.
Anecdote isn’t data but when I went from a Chevy Volt (2016) to a Model S (2017) I was surprised at how much worse the computer in my Tesla is.

Bluetooth is unreliable and balky. Speech recognition doesn’t work. The touchscreen is unresponsive - it can take a minute to type in an address. And sometimes the main touchscreen computer freezes and I have to manually reboot it, which means no A/C or radio or navigation for 5 minutes.

I understand that the computer in my Model S isn’t as good as their newer ones. But I have to say the overall experience is terrible. My Volt had a more functional and reliable computer. I’m tempted to buy a new Model S just to upgrade the computer.

All of this is to say that Tesla may have great technology but it is unevenly applied and they are terrible at support.
I do suspect that the ICE portion of the Volt could be a lot simpler than a regular gas powered vehicle since it's not directly connected to the wheels. A generator configured to run primarily with a fixed load size and in its peak efficiency zone is different from what you find in the typical gas car.
Yep, it's really great that markets can create speculation that are not tied at all to the fundamentals of a security. That doesn't create bubbles, volatility, or open the door for endless shenanigans at all.

Sorry to be a bit snarky, but fad-based bubbles are not what markets need. They don't need social justice either. If you want to trade stocks, do some research and invest wisely for the long term. I am personally weary of 24/7 outrage.
I’m positive that an organization the size of Netflix which has dedicated itself absolutely to pushing 200gbps out of every individual box can figure out how to run HTTP 1.1 forever.
So then they can just not enter the US illegally. There are Billions of people living outside of the US every day. And the people in the US is crying day in and day out that it is a racist hellhole and how cops are huting people of color on the streets like animals and burning down cities in protest. Seems like they would be better off somewhere else. I would not immigrate to US if someone paid me.

Gov-supported digital currencies would mostly streamline things and replace existing bloated and slow programs. Imagine the current stimulus situation – instead of sending checks to people they could just press a button and immediately send credit to all citizens that have a certain account threshold or income rate. Currency units could be earmarked for certain retailers (i.e. food stamps, education, etc).
I believe EINTR was always a possibility per the docs. This case has always been handled correctly in a few other storage engine code bases, and that code was unlikely to have been written for no reason even if EINTR never occurred in practice.

This seems to be a case of not checking or allowing for all possible return codes.
An internet forum can be both full of rumors, and used for a conspiracy. I imagine people planning the US capital riots also posted a lot of rumors and memes.

That statement is just advisory for investors to 'be cautious'.
Most applications on the internet are CRUD apps and not everyone is serving Netflix CDN data. TCP hasn't really changed much in the past 25 years due to routers on the internet being strict about its standards. Just look at 'TCP Fast Open', while it was supposed to drastically cut down on connection time in TCP, it can't be used on the internet due to routers behaving erratically. Apple tried it in production and then reverted it.

Since QUIC is based on UDP, it doesn't face the same limitations that TCP does. TCP also suffers from head of line blocking, which QUIC also eliminates. It is also more secure due to header being encrypted, unlike TCP. Plus you also get multiplexing built-in. QUIC is far better than TCP and for serving websites & APIs, it is a much better alternative.
I don’t use a HiDPI laptop but, for what it’s worth, getting a 2x4K setup working on my desktop was nearly painless on Ubuntu 20.04[1]. It would probably have been even easier had I stuck to GNOME instead of switching to i3.

TL;DR: opposable thumbs are characteristic of Homo species and not found in Australopithecus

The paper (pdf) Biomechanics of the human thumb and the evolution of dexterity [1]:

> Here, we develop a new approach to investigate the efficiency of thumb opposition, a fundamental component of manual dexterity, in several species of fossil hominins. Our work for the first time takes into account soft tissue as well as bone anatomy, integrating virtual modeling of musculus opponens pollicis and its interaction with three-dimensional bone shape form. Results indicate that a fundamental aspect of efficient thumb opposition appeared approximately 2 million years ago, possibly associated with our own genus Homo, and did not characterize Australopithecus, the earliest proposed stone tool maker. This was true also of the late Australopithecus species, Australopithecus sediba, previously found to exhibit human-like thumb proportions. In contrast, later Homo species, including the small-brained Homo naledi, show high levels of thumb opposition dexterity, highlighting the increasing importance of cultural processes and manual dexterity in later human evolution.

Pivoting into hardware and competing with Best Buy sounds more natural to me. Unlike software, this is a market where people will want to shop in person.

What you're describing sounds like a nice niche business model for a less austere time.

You can still have a centralized token asset as your currency. It defeats the purpose of open source and public blockchain utility, but gives a government massive control over its currency.
But do the headers have much to do with power efficiency? Seems like that would mostly hinge on encryption and state machine efficiency.
My guess is they're scared to issue shares, because they would tank the price in an instant. (Gamestop owns more shares than are out trading.)
Yes. Because u/TigBitties_450 is someone the SEC can track and prosecute. The anonymity of the reddit forum Just exposed a gigantic loophole that was suddenly shot into the spotlight. The jig is up.
> So we'd need essentially 3x as many servers to serve via QUIC as we do to serve via TCP. That has real environmental costs.

So do ads, and no government seems to care much.
I wonder, is increasing temperature of the M.2 NVMe disks affecting the measured performance? Or is P620 cooling system efficient enough to keep temp of the number of disks low?

Twenty Million Doses of Vaccine Sent to States Are Unaccounted For
I had my share of porting C# GUI programs to Object Pascal (Lazarus/Delphi). I think the best part of FreePascal are the "outputs". I will always choose native GUI easily multi-platform programs over framework-dependent bytecode Windows-biased programs. It's also pleasant that you don't have to spend hours figuring out how to compile popular GUI framework X for C/C++ while Lazarus/Delphi just works out of the box. For the latter, the de facto GUI framework feels more in "harmony" with the language/compiler toolchain.

However, as a language, Pascal is a bit of a pain. The parts that frustrate me the most, are the necessity of editing code across separate locations when introducing a new variable/function and the lack of smaller scopes beyond function scope. Brian W. Kernighan's "Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language" (1981) lists some of these frustrating parts, although there are many improvements since then.

I think more recent pascal compilers now support declarations elsewhere aside the interface section or beginning of a function. But more recent also means less support for older systems, which is part of what I like about Pascal.

And if my program doesn't need a GUI, I feel that C/C++ is far more productive for multi-platform-compilable native programs.
True... he actually got involved to give the short sellers a taste of their own medicine.. prior to this TSLA was the favourite stock of short sellers... Musk calls short selling as scam. Though shorting ensures market equilibrium and was brought into the system to prevent such short squeezes.. It’s just some big guys were taking too much leverage and are now facing repercussions.

Jobs are also paid according to the danger they pose, often enforced by government or unions.

Want to be an underwater welder? Sure, here's your danger surcharge.

Want to be a cab driver on the night shift? Sure, here's your surcharge.
Resolving those inconsistencies in the law because of uneven enforcement would come quite a long time after the fact. But as the law stands now, this is probably illegal. I doubt anyone will be prosecuted for it, though.
Whether it'll work or not for the various non-Latin scripts will depend what fallback fonts the browser happens to pick, so people's results will vary.

Your jsfiddle also fails even for English in most browsers, because you didn't load both regular and bold weights of Recursive. As a result, you get a browser-generated synthetic bold effect, which varies between browsers and in most cases (but not Chrome, IIRC) will alter the width.

(To fix that aspect, you need something like "family=Recursive:wght@400;700" in your Google Fonts link.)

I think the question is flawed... Or at least irrelevant.

Since we are talking about the stock market (and stock brokers don’t make anything of value) a better question would be:

You hire a worker for $2 to make something you sell for $5. Someone buys it for $5 and sells it to a forth person for $10. Who lost money?

Now to make this simplification more accurate, there is a system in place for the $5 to $10 transaction called The stock market where there are bazillions of these transaction. Another question arises. Who is selling something for $5 when they could sell it straight to the forth person for %10? Who has is $10 and why are they paying $10 for it? How did they get that $10? Did they make something worth $10 and sold it for $10?

I think the real answer for who is loosing money is: Workers across the globe are.
>I don't think conspiracies suddenly become legal just because they were very large.

in theory you're right. The practice though says differently- the mass conspiracy and violation of medalion laws (Uber) and zoning laws (AirBnb) got treated as new phenomenon - "sharing economy" - instead of RICO because it was that massive and coordinated.

There is also another aspect here. The huge short interest on GME was most probably naked (illegal) in significant part, and those huge shorts were probably made in order to drive the price down (market manipulation, illegal). So, these crooks wouldn't have been caught with their pants down if SEC was doing its job and wasn't allowing (by lax enforcement at least) all these shenanigans to their hedge fund buddies. In that situation SEC suddenly becoming a crusader against market manipulation and going after WSB retail investors would look a lot like selective enforcement and a regulatory capture by the crooks.
My enjoyment of his films comes from appreciating his attempt to thread a narrative through a complex series of events and images. The linked New Yorker article makes it clear that he’s well versed in the postmodern rejection of grand narratives, but it doesn’t stop him from trying.

I find his films thought provoking, but I look to them for truth with the same skepticism I have for reading some Nietzsche — I never look for one source to get everything right, I just hope to learn something in the process.
Different fields I guess. Cultural differences too maybe.

My first serious jobs in IT were in consulting (Hyperion Planning in oil and gas in Russia) and this one company (aside from Accenture were I've had a bit of experience) where the only places that required me to use the provided notebook for the job. Same for British Petroleum. Security reasons etc.

Not as single soft dev company I've worked since around 2012 required me to use their PCs (backend dev here) even though most of the do proived their macs or Thinkpads, or something else.

Anyway - many devs are self employed and\or work remotely. They don't use corporate tech at all. Corporate VPN to access the net? Sure. But that's it.

Honestly, I won't even consider a job offer that will restrict me to employer provided PC.
