'Dogwhistle' has drifted in its invocation in subtle but important ways. Originally it referred to the notion that some people would interpret coded language in the choice of phrasing or a hear a different connotation that the author did not intend.

Then it was used as a descriptive accusation by outgroup members to claim that the speaker deliberately used coded language to appeal to an ingroup.

Then it was used to describe the deliberate tactic of crafting word choice to appeal to a group while maintaining plausible deniability and avoiding alienating those not in the know.

Then it was used to disparage certain groups by claiming that the group's writers and readers were communicating in coded language by tacit agreement, to affirm among each other positions the critics considered reprehensible.

And finally it achieved self-reference by becoming a word some feel is being used as coded language by other groups to disparage them.

It's unfortunate because each shade of meaning is a useful concept that would benefit from a succinct descriptor, but 'dogwhistle' has been churned through the semantic drift to where it's a word of subjective vitriol and not an objective descriptor of anything in particular.

Unless you can point out where the statistics say that, your belief is just speculation. I've skimmed over the data and didn't see anything about attributing depression to work problems. (If you have other sources regarding this, please link them.)

Table 2-3 shows the breakdown of "health problems," and depression is at about 40%. Even if all of those were due to overwork, this is only 40% of the "health problems" category, which is not enough to support a claim that "most suicides come from excessive work." For sure, there may be many cases that do, but there are no clear numbers in that regard. Personally, I feel such claims only reinforce the typical stereotypes about Japan rather than try to understand the actual situation.

This article has multiple inaccuracies and omissions that distort the view of how smart contracts work and their uses.

Formexample, author writes in a way that implies that a smart contract will stop working if it runs out of gas. This is not true - a single function call will abort, and even that rarely happens because it’s possible to compute required gas in advance and set the gas limit to a proper amount.

The whole timekeeping mentions not being able to tell time. You can’t use exact time, but block numbers are very good approximations.

As for the orcales - yes they are needed, and they work well.

As for real world connection - what you do is you set a legally binding agreement between two companies or a company and public to honour the output of the contract. Problem solved.

All in all, the author uses these inaccuracies to show that smart contracts are impractical and have no use. This is absurd - see DeFi for example.
The Xbox is in many ways the sequel to the Dreamcast because after Sega cancelled the DC some of the same management and engineers behind the DC were snapped up by Microsoft to work on the Xbox.

This is why many of the innovations originally seen on the DC were also seen on the Xbox and Microsoft’s subsequent consoles too.

> If you're going to put a dollar cost on irreversibly damaging the ecosystem, it's going to be one you can't afford. Not in a thousand years.

Doesn't work. You're essentially saying to assign the value of infinity. Then if there is a one in a trillion chance of ecosystem damage, you have to refuse even if the alternate is to definitely lose a billion lives. Can't be infinity.

At this point you're at the old joke. Man asks a woman if she would have sex with him for a hundred billion dollars. She thinks about it a while and then concedes that yes, she would. The man then asks the woman if she would have sex with him for five dollars. She's offended. She says, what kind of woman do you think I am? The man replies that they've already established that and now they're just negotiating on the price.

You can't just use an astronomical number. It has to be as accurate as possible because it's being traded off against other real things of significant importance. If the number is too low, bad things happen. But if the number is too high, different bad things happen.

To give you some feedback (and I'm not an albino) :

- Mentioning downvotes is a sure way to get them, and there's even a mention in the guidelines[1] saying to avoid to do that : "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. "

- Other than this, I don't know about the last time, but here your comment feels like a fun anecdote more than an actual discussion point. While this kind of comment goes well in a lot of communities (typically very well with Reddit), it tends to get less traction on HN, as HN is very much directed towards discussion and argumentation

Are people aware UpWork encourages monitoring freelancers like this? I would never work for a platform that promotes this or want to subject someone to being monitored like this.

Can you really not ask the client questions before submitting a proposal either?

Is all this just taking advantage of freelancers who don't know how to market themselves, or am I missing something?

For all the freelance projects I've found myself, some detailed discussion was required beforehand to check what the client really needs, and I aim for terms that don't lead to being micromanaged (like fixed price projects based on results not time) so I can't see the appeal.

None of the platforms will ever send you a single invoice for a group of contractors for legal reasons. Each contractor needs to invoice you directly due to US employment law.

I was never employed at Fry’s, but regularly shopped at the Oregon and Washington stores, and to this day I always remember thinking that the employees looked more bedraggled than at any other store I had or have ever shopped at.

And until we went I think I still had in mind a grocery store with some computers just past housewares.

All were immensely talented yet died young in “romantic” circumstances: Byron at 36 from disease during The Greek War of Independence; Keats at 25 in Rome from tuberculosis; and Shelley at 29 by drowning off the coast of Italy. All of this happened between 1821 and 1824.

Upwork is a pain.
Via https://www.heise.de/news/Aus-Blockchain-statt-Eistee-wurde-...
I must agree with this. About a year ago, our company's iOS development team was replaced. The managers bought the new developers company MBPs. However, after about six months they started complaining that they could not make progress on one feature because Xcode kept crashing when they opened an existing Storyboard file. Turns out the managers had of course cheaped out and bought the developers Macs with the lowest 8GB memory option. Meanwhile, the consultants who originally created those files had had much more sensible 32GB.

Now the MBPs for the whole team need to be replaced at great cost and double the environmental resource use. Without Apple soldering the memory our IT department would have certainly just upgraded the memory. In fact, when I ran into similar issue with needing 32GB to my 16GB Dell laptop, that's exactly what we did.
I got one of these printed by a banner-printing service who could do prints two metres tall and 60 cm wide or something. It came back with the bottom third blank - there are so many objects in the postscript file, it crashed their rasteriser. This was a cheap service, so they didn't check it before printing it out.

I rasterised it in software, and sent them the image, and that was fine.

The common objection to "illegal immigrant" is of course to say that "people are not illegal", and strictly speaking a more grammatically correct term would perhaps be "illegally immigrated".

But this is a mostly irrelevant objection, the same construction is used in other phrases, including "undocumented immigrant". It's not the person that is necessarily "undocumented", it's their act of immigration, and everyone understands that.
Awesome. Looks nice. You should share/post it as "Show HN"
Used to be optional, so the client could require this or not.

Yeah, if you take a job on Upwork, you'll never be able to do work with that freelancer off-site ever.

Is that what's going on?

Regardless of your stance on ad blockers, simply showing a mysterious eye without telling you you should stop your ad blocker sounds like awful design.
It might have made things simpler. From memory there was also a VU compiler that would take a single stream of instructions and then try to interleave the the 'left/right' instructions of the VLIW in the most efficient orders. It never was quite as good as hand coding - which is something kind of satisfying once you've memorized the stats of the entire ISA.

One half of the instruction word was mostly devoted to vector instructions which would each have a 4 cycle latency, and a single cycle throughput, to say, multiple one 4 word vector of floats with another. The other half had the kitchen sink, like trancendental functions (sin/cos/tan/etc), divide (x/y, 1/x), etc. However an instruction would stall if a calculation was depending on a register whose calculation was still in flight.

So if an instruction has a latency of 4 cycles, you could interleave 4 similar calculations on more of the dataset in parallel. So in 4 cycles, you could start 16 float calculations, and by the 8th cycle, they would be available. Though likely you'd be looping with something like Duff's device to maximize throughput. It would also mean you might use the vector calculations with a taylor series, in preference to the sine instruction which had a latency of something like 15 cycles.

As someone who worked on Upwork for a long time and literally owe them my career, it was great and I would do it again in a heartbeat. A long time ago I made a living on that platform exclusively.

Thanks to Upwork I got to work with US clients and save enough money to migrate back home to the US with my wife and children.

By using their time tracker I was guaranteed to get paid for work, they take the doubt out of the equation. Track time and you will get paid. It was 100% a worthy trade-off for me. The results speak for themselves.

Now today I have no idea what the platform is like. I haven't worked there for in quite some time.
yeah it is business model problem because those mystical 10x programmers are not commodities and Fiverr and Upwork are tuned for commodity business like logo design etc.
You're just using a pedantic definition of monopoly that would cause anybody to have a monopoly on something. It's equivalent to saying that no two pieces of real estate are identical so land ownership is a monopoly, even though in practice land is fungible with other land and owning one piece of land is not what anybody means by a monopoly.

Redhat is clearly not the iOS app store or 1970 AT&T.

Trademarks aren't even property, they're a consumer protection mechanism. You nominally can't even sell them, though the restriction is more in theory than in practice.
It is the same pattern in most autocracies I've been to. As long as people are getting food, jobs, education and some form of the erstwhile American dream, nobody complains anywhere, or outwardly supports it. People don't care much for the big international news in any of those places, but rather the local tabloidy content. An article about a local food market taking place will get far more hits than an international piece on a COVID vaccine. Government workings are barely reported, unless it's for some "glorious" achievement. This is the model in China, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Of course, for dictatorships that don't manage to achieve the dream for their citizens, you'll see a lot of cursing, name calling politicians, and even outright revolutions. People are essentially politically charged and actively involved with spreading news. This is seen in places such as Egypt and Venezuela, where the governments are only surviving because of being propped up by external agents, usually from the former type of autocracies. This mentality is also seen in quite a few flawed democracies.

And then there are the third type of autocracies, where people are simply desensitized to any news whatsoever. Places such as pseudo-democratic Afghanistan or autocratic Syria. People there only care about wanting to move away from that hell hole.
I went into central (on Lawrence) a few weeks looking for a new monitor. I’m the kind of guy who does my research beforehand, and generally go in knowing what I want already. But I asked for help and a recommendation. I told the guy my basic requirements and he basically just looked at all the boxes to see if they had the specs I wanted. He had no experience with the products, and was really no help. I get better advice from reading the reviews on Amazon, sad to say.
Here are my educated non-expert guesses:

* low front end, large amount of glass: aids in visibility when maneuvering in tight locations.

* side mirrors are hung from the top: again, aiding visibility. You need to look at the road's surface more than you need to look at the sky.

* two piece side window: it can pass packages while also protecting the driver from the weather

* slanted rear: the person closing the door has a couple more inches to get a steady footing while reaching over their head to close the tall door? Or maybe a tiny aero advantage? Or just for style?

* huge protruding bumpers: cheaper to hit them than it is to hit the body. And maybe it's more likely you can keep the vehicle in service without requiring repairs after minor incidents.

* upswept rear bumper: necessary to mitigate issues with a departure angles, because a short-wheelbase is ideal for driving in tight locations.

* hanging wiper mechanism: visibility, and it doesn't jam up with ice/snow as much.

* side door slides forward instead of rearwards: because the door doesn't have to move outwards clear the rear fender, the track is straight and the mechanism simplified, so it's more durable, more accessible, and more ergonomic than other commercial vans which typically require a compound motion (sliding and extending outwards.)

* and the easy one -- right hand drive: because mailboxes are on the side of the road.

'Basics' was Sainsbury's, Tesco had 'Value', with its incredibly bold branding:

https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Tesco_Everyday_Value

They also have "Stockwell & Co" for the things which don't come from British farms, like jam and baked beans. That at least is a nod to history, because Tesco started out selling tea packaged by T. E. Stockwell.

They are entirely upfront about their brands:

I don't think the west will defend taiwan, but it won't matter. If china invades, their economy collapses, because no one will want to send cargo ships or oil tankers into a war zone, and industrial and ag production in china proper stops for the six months-1year of the conflict, and the population starves or riots. Probably the most the us will do punitively is to embargo china with a naval blockade. That's just as bad if not worse.

I use a client like this for new freelancers/employees that are working full time or larger jobs. It is intrusive but 100% is needed for some people or they take the piss. I'm too busy to follow their workload and sit there estimating times of jobs match hours.

I check it one a week for ~10min to see hours logged per day and quick random to check its not loads of time wasting.

It feels intrusive but there is little difference than people walking past someone in an open plan office + they can turn it off anytime they want to do personal.

For me I see this as really useful for managing Jr remotes. And personally would have no issue running it if I was working remote. I think the pain points would be more about how management use it, and in its worse its little different from having a micro manager in a on-site office experience.
