Sure, I'm not arguing for using fakes here. Mitutoyo is very respected for a good reason. I have never had one piece of Mitutoyo gear go flaky on me once. A coworker almost made us miss a flight because he refused to hand his Mitutoyo calipers over to security at the check. I'm saying that even if it's a Mitutoyo it has to be calibrated every year.
Am I reading this right that by shorting the up and down D+ (and D-) line as one is supposed to by the spec, one essentially creates a HF stub?

Or doesn't the stub matter for signal integrity / EMI because it's only a couple of mm and fully enclosed by the shield of the plug and the receptacle?
$10M is insanely generous. Here in the UK inheritance tax is 40% on everything over £325K ($450K USD), unless you leave it to your spouse (unlimited) or a charity.

Even if you leave your estate to your kids or grand kids, it's only £500K ($700K) and that is only if you're leaving the family home (another example the UK being obsessed with property ownership).

It's also payable by the recipient, not the executor of the will.

Perhaps they are not shopping around because of monopolistic/anti competitive actions from google search causing competing video services to be unviable.

I believe there is an ongoing legal case around this.

"Every person who knew how the custom DNS system worked has left the company years ago."

Keeping the people who know how the system works is really the last line of defense.

May I ask a question? Re: "the secure holding account?" Does the UK have escrow as we do in the US? See Escrow.com for an example. Here, if we are ordering something from ebay as an example and it is expensive, then we can use sites like escrow.com to act as the secured party. Their site lists both an API and a Partners section. Perhaps you can offer that service sooner than you thought....

This is the snow on the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure there's plenty more where this came from.

There's so many things wrong with the scenario described, that I can't even begin to talk about it.

My experience is that folks never want to talk about backup or DR, as they are expensive, and the idea is that they should never be used.

> You can write something using fork-join that works correctly in theory, but expecting it to always work while running on undeterministic hardware is exactly the kind of blind optimism that causes so much software to come down crashing if you look at it wrong.

This seems backwards to me - a fork-join task has no state and can access no other task's state. You can restart it if it fails as many times as you want and the result is always exactly the same. You can't say the same with running an actor twice or sending a message twice - you may get a different result the second time!
It goes both ways, the employer has to give the employee 3 months notice as well.

But this is for when both of them can't find a mutual solution. You can always agree to terminate the contract earlier, if both parties agree.

At least that is how it works in Germany.

HyperCard 1 was free and included with every Mac but HyperCard 2 came out after Claris was spun off from Apple and was a paid product and Macs only came with a "HyperCard Player" version.

Edit: i just saw this in Wikipedia, apparently Atkinson commented on the death of HyperCard 3 in an interview " Steve Jobs disliked the software because Atkinson had chosen to stay at Apple to finish it instead of joining Jobs at NeXT, and (according to Atkinson) "it had Sculley's stink all over it".[9]"

They could not pay you.

Or

If your contract is exclusive they can pay you and prevent you from working for anywhere else (gardening leave).

You can’t (at least in most countries) enforce the contract in such a way that you force someone to work.
can we ever migrate coding to be come a profession like 'real' engineering?

Of course we can, but noone is willing to pay for it. Then they pay for it on other ways, and act like they're surprised when once again hackers waltz in, or there's an outage that costs the business a fortune, or yet another project fails to deliver because of corners cut early on.
I decided not to link it because it provides no context to what those things "I have said" are (and several of those news articles quote or link it themselves). News articles from around the time provide said context.
Minsky was an obese, balding old man. To imply that he should have expected or not had even a tiny bit of concern that an attractive young woman on a private island was throwing herself at him is ridiculous.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/lomkCENpPXufPOLUkw6mzlgBljQ=...

If I were in my 60s and a 17 year old child was throwing themselves at me for sex, I would question what was going on. The fact it was on a private island in the middle of the Caribbean makes the feigned ignorance laughable. There's no planet on which the circumstances should have left Minsky with any doubt about what he was getting himself into.

I'll just say this HN: shame on you. The fact there are so many people here willing to defend someone that was participating in sex trafficking is pretty disgusting. I have no time for "cancel culture" or "SJW's" but this isn't even a little bit that. There's no planet on which Minsky didn't know exactly what he was doing. To defend those actions is honestly pretty abhorrent. I hope none of you have daughters, and if you do I hope you think long and hard about how you'd feel if they were in that situation.
I figure this might at least be cause to present your case the developers?
I believe it's not possible precisely because the underlying mentality is one of "they are lying to us". So you debunk the meme of the day and the next meme is waiting for you tomorrow, repeated by the same people.

You gain nothing by debunking today's meme. No lesson will be learned because the problem is not one that can be solved by reasoning. No general conclusions are drawn. It's tiresome and futile, and ultimately the anti-vaxxer crowd just "wants to believe"... in conspiracies.

I find it's also not always as easy as you put it to debunk crap. It requires time, effort, digging up numbers, comparing statistics, etc, whereas making shit up takes almost no effort.
This is true, and although they don't tell you this, they also have a team. Sometimes it is just an intern or camera person but some creators have surprisingly large teams.
I plugged £120k ($166,400) into a UK and California tax calculator.

UK after tax came to £74,244 ($102,885), California came to $108,070.

I don't know how accurate those numbers are, but they don't seem all that different to me. And compared to the rest of Europe, UK tax is on the low side.

Of course I don't particularly _enjoy _paying high taxes, but I feel like living in London, earning within the ballpark of that amount, my life is pretty good.
Nah, I'm not saying my employer's IT infra is rock solid but at the very least we have backups.
Even those. Disturbing pedestrians is not okay, of course. But why do people ride on the pavement in the first place? Because car drivers are making the road too dangerous.
How people handle this level of disaster is always very revealing. In every case I've ever experienced someone kept their head and a solution was found. Usually there was reputational damage but surprisingly most times the actual business bounced back. But it was always the actions of someone in particular in those first hours that made the difference.

Thinking you're fucked is unhelpful, because you start talking about resumes and expecting some deus ex machina to appear and resolve the situation (for good or ill).

What "resignation" can mean in the context of such a situation for top high-level people might not be your typical resignation concept for e.g. employees, or even middle management.

For example ministers of most gov "resign" when they are told to do so, and yes they do resign, even when this is not from their own initiative, and even if they absolutely would not have done it if not told to. For other structures, you can have various kind of pressure playing a role.

We will probably never know the exact degree of pressure and the comprehensive list of who did it, the alliances, maybe the threats etc, and technically it absolutely was a resignation, but given RMS further actions in the GNU Project (that is: not resigning despite additional attempts to leverage his departure from the FSF to make him do likewise here too), I can only say I have my doubt on the total amount of practical freedom he had concerning the FSF part; and it is now probably not just him phoning back and saying: "oh by the way I changed my mind I want to come back", but more likely other "political" and/or alliances changes at the top letting that be even possible.
Nothing in his post suggests the ERP's DB is gone, merely that the mechanism which populates DNS records from the ERP has broken down, which probably has ripple effects on everything else as their internal DNS is broken and services can't talk to each other.

But the data should still be there, and it's a matter of reverse-engineering how to go from "ERP DB" to "DNS zone file".

> But how much do you personally pay for the artists' products per month

All in all, entertainment budget is a good amount actually.

For the sake of the argument, it’s easier to set the time frame 30 years back, and talk about CDs and books we were buying. Record companies made decent money, publishers as well. People massively payed for physical distribution, there was only crappy workarounds.

But most of that money didn’t go to artists, most of them were still working side jobs, while middlemen thrived. How different is it now ? I actually think it’s slightly better these days, but the biggest slice of the pie still go to middlemen who protect their position to keep the markets captive.
Ask HN: What are some tools you wish you had while doing your day to day work?
(as a software developer or just someone using software, in whatever field you happen to be working in).

An example:

-> As a software developer, I've come across the need to work with CSV-"like" files several times in my career (at several different jobs), for different reasons.

And it was most frustrating when they had like 100 columns or so. Having to change column 63 at line 58 is not something you do easily in Notepad++. Import to Excel was my way to go, but since the file was not a standard CSV file (e.g. also had sections like an .INI file) it was time consuming: first just select a subsection from the file, save to a different file, import to Excel, modify, paste back, etc. Maybe it was not the best approach, but that's not the point I'm making.

Not having found an existing tool (maybe my problem was too specific) I eventually made a small desktop application which I would use to edit the files directly. The interface was similar to Excel (grid of cells); It was simple and tailored to what I needed.

But maybe you are not a software developer and don't have the "luxury" of building it yourself.

So, would you share your experience of similar situations?

If the solutions to your problems are relatively easy to implement, then someone can create a tool for the job, making your life easier. And on the off chance that these tools are useful and will be wanted by more people (with similar problems) these "tools" can turn into a more general "product", thus a win-win situation in the end.

What i'm saying:

- There are already talented people working in their spare time on e.g. open-source projects (no shortage of people wanting to tackle the problem, if it is reasonable)
- The shortcoming is that domain specific problems, which people are facing, are not visible enough (except to them).

If this question should get enough attention and answers, the next step would be to structure the answers into a git repository/website.
Have they? I haven’t seen a single promotion on YouTube telling me I could make a living being a content creator.

I think people hype them selves up about it when they see the top 0.5% on YouTube and think they can be the same. Nowhere have I seen YouTube lie or mislead about this.

The problem is there are simply too many content creators. We don’t need “generic lets play guy 373628”. There is more than enough content pumping in to the system right now.

Yes, that's essentially what I was trying to communicate.

Since we are engine agnostic here be careful interpreting ^ or $ as start/end of _string_ though. In some regex engines this means start/end of _line_. If that's the case and if a regex validates input up to $ an attacker might be able to sneak in extra data after a newline. In Python you'd need multiline enabled but Ruby matches by default:

irb(main):001:0> /^okay$/ =~ "okay\noops"
=> 0 # matches from position 0

(Ruby has \A and \Z for start and end of string to address this).
Okay, fair enough. I probably skimmed the post too quickly.
It's not terrible because you can choose your instance. Policies should be a big factor in that choice. If no instances suit you, you could as well host your own.

The problem is that pedophilia has a much wider meaning in the USA that in many other parts of the world.

I do not believe that any sane human being believes that pedophilia in the sense understood by himself/herself is OK in any circumstances.

Nevertheless there are millions or billions of humans who do not consider as pedophilia some acts that are considered pedophilia in USA, therefore they consider that those acts are OK, because they are not pedophilia.

For example, until recently few countries had such a high age of consent as USA.

Where I was born and I have grown, the age of consent was 14. So any consensual activity with someone e.g. 17-year old was considered OK and not pedophilia.

I have certainly never seen or heard any undesirable consequence of this lower age of consent, so I do not believe that there exists any proof that the belief of the US citizens, that consensual sexual relations with someone under the age of 18 are pedophilia, is right.

As another example, until recently, the consensual relations between an adolescent boy (i.e. older than 14) and a mature woman, unlike the opposite sex case, were never considered as pedophilia in most of the world, unlike in USA were there were many highly-publicized convictions in such cases.

I have still not seen any valid argument about why this American belief, that such relations must be considered pedophilia, is correct.
I don't understand what Mozilla does to Firefox anymore. What does it mean a page "can" leak private data?

Is there any story about anyone affected by the issue? Does this issue even exist?

It is just breaking another piece of the open web.

It just seems like Mozilla not only surrendered in gaining browser market but also actively acts against open web.

I thought website creators and website users should be in charge of what they want to do. But it seems no. Now Mozilla decides what web standards can be broken.

I'd maybe applaud changes by Mozilla, but with all of these efforts it is not aimed in gaining more users. Firefox does not gain users with such actions. It does not make any sense what is the aim of Mozilla anymore with Firefox.
This is what he said which some idiotic people have taken for some kind of endorsement of sexual assault:

"The announcement of the Friday event does an injustice to Marvin Minsky: “deceased AI ‘pioneer’ Marvin Minsky (who is accused of assaulting one of Epstein’s victims [2])” The injustice is in the word “assaulting”. The term “sexual assault” is so vague and slippery that it facilitates accusation inflation: taking claims that someone did X and leading people to think of it as Y, which is much worse than X... The word “assaulting” presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing... We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her to conceal that from most of his associates…"

If pontificating as to the actual perpetrator of a crime is somehow being complicit in that crime, then I think we may need to overhaul our system of policing and justice for yet another reason.

I assume YouTube is already rewarding content creators based on how much the world’s people watch them. If so, can it get more meritocratic?
Also known as “compensating differential”. People _want_ to be a musician or content creator so they are willing to do the job even without being paid much. Which pushes the value down for the job.

If you paid people YouTube rates to maintain php garbage they would just say no which keeps the prices up at a decent level.

I agree. On the racism side of the cancellation coin, you have ordinary people canceled for citing the preeminent scholar on the efficacy of nonviolent protest (who also happens to be black) and Tweeting an interview in which a black man expresses concern over black-on-black crime; however, you have the Canadian PM going around in blackface so often he can’t even keep count by his own admission and he’s regarded as basically a lovable goofball darling by the cancel culture folks while the others are “literal Nazis” or something. Mob justice isn’t great at assessing guilt or determining proportional sentences, but some people will defend it to the death.

At what point will every major party - namely AstraZeneca - understand that what's being done in Europe, regarding these side effects, is the proper procedure, and refusing to acknowledge that will only cause more suspicion and fuel conspiracy theories?

If this work wasn't being done, and shoved under the rug like apparently was done in the UK (that had at least 5 cases after all) and many other places that had similar cases but probably threw them in the blood clot bucket, imagine when later it was discovered that those numbers were higher then what they should have been? That's politics, not science - that's precisely the other way around of the whole accusations of all of this event being a political event.

Hiding these cases is the political thing. Framing all of this as an attempt to discredit and compromise the vaccination effort is the political thing. Accusing these scientists of not knowing that every day of missed vaccination will increase the probability of other deaths is the political thing.

Don't people have the right to be informed? Shouldn't people be making informed decisions? Shouldn't people be told what to do in case of a adverse reaction? Shouldn't they be treated and taken care of? Aren't they entitled to proper compensation in case this happens and it's attributed to the vaccine and not to some natural random event?

None of these regulator bodies and scientists denied the vaccine was safe and effective, they simply spotted an anomaly and did what science should do. They found adverse reactions, have a strong indication of what causes it, and now will find a way to tackle it - saving more lives that would die a needless death, of people that were following their duty as citizens and choosing to take this vaccine for their safety and the safety of others, because they believe in the institutions that take care of vaccine and medicines safety.

Well done.
