Right. That's what I said in my middle paragraph.

But if I simply throw away my half and make a new half, a court will have no way of knowing which was the original. (Unless each half was signed by both parties.)
A nation who has laws as you suggest opens their population up to remote slave labor. Ie. Some foreign company encourages citizens to work for less than minimum wage, paying no employment taxes, in conditions that would otherwise be illegal. That in turn also hurts local employers competing for the same labor pool.

Therefore I believe all nations will decide that work done on their soil must follow their employment laws, even if done for a foreign company.

There is precident for that interpretation pre-pandemic in many western countries.
Good one, actually most of my employees feel the same way.

You might have a bad case of a micromanager there, but here‘s my definition:

> Management by walking around emphasizes the importance of interpersonal contact, open appreciation, and recognition. It is one of the most important ways to build civility and performance in the workplace.

Your definition of success might be technically right, but doesn‘t resonate with me.

What good does it do if some code works but the employees behind that aren‘t happy, don‘t feel valued and we can‘t celebrate success together?
For me, foobar2k was never really about the UI. It was about the audio engine. It was the only player at the time I could trust to just do the right thing. Whenever I have tried any "fb2k-like" players they have only focussed on the UI but have the same shoddy audio engine as everything else. Is this any different?
> Optimizing your lifelong estate purchase for a style of life that won't always be there seems crazy to me. Why?! Because you get to buy a cheaper estate -- is that the main reason? But you will not always work 9-5. You actually get to retire one day. Also there are the occasional long vacations when everybody is at home. Etc.

For most 20-30yo, the 9-5 lifestyle is absolutely expected to be there for the next 30 years. Vacations are often handled by traveling, visiting extended family, etc. There normally are many options available. And by the time retirement comes, children will have moved out, or perhaps the parents will have sold the flat, or left it to the children, and moved out elsewhere. I don't think there is something as a "lifelong estate purchase" these days in the cities. Not when you're in your thirties.

> The elephant in the room: if you can't tolerate your partner in the same flat/house for longer periods of time then IMO you shouldn't marry them so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Easy to say :). But some people only discover that quite late - once some unpredictable circumstances (like job loss, or a global pandemic) force them to actually stay in the same flat for long periods of time. Most working-age adults don't experience that ordinarily (and I think every couple expects they'll work such issues out by the time they get to retire).

> But what you describe just seems... more like a good roommates' arrangement / contract, and not an actual relationship?

Relationships are complex, and every one is different. They get even more complex if extended family gets involved, or when children appear. And sudden events like a global pandemic have a way of revealing previously unseen cracks in the foundations. If people were aware of all this up front, humanity would have died out centuries ago :).

I’d love if I could take the train to the mountains, but the US (and Australia) is a large place with low overall density, so cars make sense for some travel.

But few American communities are planned with minimizing car use as a key tenet. I’m lucky to live in one that is.
You are earning money every month, but they keep a colateral and payment to you is delayed. If your nodes combusts one day, that colateral dissapears broadly speaking.

This may or may not be true in all locales, but one issue described to me is that having a legal entity in one jurisdiction with employees in another jurisdiction can expose the company to be also tax liable in the workers jurisdiction
It's not the fact that it's a ghost kitchen that's bad right? It's the poor treatment of workers.

Focusing on a poor correlation is not solving the core problem.
> The problem was that £50 notes were most likely forged, I think

That was what we were told back when I worked in a small shop in a theme park in the late 90s. That combined with the fact that because we rarely saw them people tended to be worse at picking out fakes than they were with smaller denomination notes.

We were to ask people to go to the cash office at the front of the site to have large notes swapped for smaller currency, £10 and lower. The reason we gave the customer (which as you mention had the benefit of also being true, even though I was very much given the impression it wasn't management's primary concern) was that it would take all the change from out tills. We would accept £20s, though the sign up front suggested they be changed first too.

> solution surely isn’t to get rid of the notes as that just shifts the forgery to the next note down

The recognisability helps with lower denomination notes though. And taking a forged £50 is more of a hit than taking a forged £10 amongst others.

> Surely instead the solution would be higher valued notes being created.

The solution we are heading towards, more rapidly now due to C19's effects, is cashless. I still have a few coins in my running pouch in case I need to use a non-free public convenience and a few of notes in my wallet just in case the cards fail, but I don't think I've actually used cash at all in the last 12 months and that may remain the case once This is all over (there is a local corner shop that won't take contactless or other card payments for less than £10 - I simply don't go to that shop any more as that is inconvenient for me for single small items so I do without for now or walk further, and for needs >£10 I'll walk further to a larger store with more options anyway).

>Well empirically, most restaurants (at least where i live) did not deliver at all or beyond the immediate vicinity or required an insane minimum order size to deliver before these apps came. Now i can get what i want affordably from the place I like without going to the restaurant.

The missing piece here that makes the delivery work, is the VC funding. The apps are presently a net win for consumer and restaurant is because some SV VC fund is subsidizing the delivery.

Maybe they'll be able to organize a mass delivery network with enough efficiency that it actually develops economies of scale and becomes self-sufficient. Or maybe they'll burn out like Groupon.
Very disappointing as a business customer you need the enterprise plan of workspaces to enable calendar access for Google assistant.
Not on its own, but by the work of very many societal systems, and on balance it is really these systems that are responsible for the societal effects, the laws merely being the guidelines.

So banning something by law does have an effect, but in the discussion of the dissolution of law it's clearly the courts, the bureaucracy, and the media that carry all the important functions of defence against subversion.

You need a place to live now. You can always sell it later - perhaps at a profit, perhaps at a loss - but a place to live optimized for your current conditions will let you save up money to buy a better place later, that will be optimized for your future conditions.
Mark Twain was making fun - the essay isn't supposed to be taken seriously.

His conclusion would also be wrong, since the grammatical gender has nothing to do with he biological gender - it's the gender assigned to all diminutive forms, regardless of grammatical gender.

E.g. "der Vater" (the father) becomes "das Väterchen" just as well without loosing his proverbial balls in the process.

Still, most websites (and especially ecommerce) are full of tracking to give Sales all data they could possibly want. That Apple restricts tracking here points towards a general restraint towards tracking.
The travel ban was declared by the WHO as ineffective, since the virus was already across the world, with places like Italy already being hot spots for it, so banning travel from China directly was useless and was indeed racially motivated ( the China virus, we banned travel from there, the problem is "solved") on some idiotic level.

I don't know why you're signaling out NY politicians, who, as stupid as they were with the initial handling, at least changed course when they understood - many others across the US refused to do so well in the pandemic, when it was painfully obvious how contagious and deadly the virus is.
The cdc fluview mortality page. You have to download it as csv, the web plots are flu and pnumonia eatimates.

One interesting observation is that the extra deaths during the pandemic are only a third of the deaths attributed to covid. That implies that two thirds of the covid deaths would have been expected anyway last year without covid?

Ask HN: Critique a Council's website accessibility. Pass or fail?
In the UK I believe Councils are obliged by law to make information of public interest as accessible as possible when it's online. I'd appreciate people pointing out where/if this site is potentially in breach those obligations as I'm not entirely clued up on the laws other than the obligations to make info accessible.

I note that some browser/OS combinations will make the site fail entirely, i.e. Firefox/Linux. You may need to change your user agent to see the actual content of the site. It also takes a long time to load.

The site/issue is about a school campus being built on green space, due to COVID the 'public consultation' is entirely an online affair, via this website.

I suspect it will not be discoverable by search engines due to the user agent sniffing, so that's not so good for people wanting to find out more about this topic.

I've heard of campaigns against Council's actions succeeding based on the lack of effective public consultation and this is my main reason for wanting to scrutinise the site.

I mean, the French press makes two cups' worth in one go, which by happy coincidence is exactly as much as I permit myself per day.

This is why we need a corporate death penalty, to destroy abusive companies like this.

The company and all its investors and directors should have all their assets seized, even those not related to the company. In addition to any relevant criminal charges being applied.

If we had a few instances of this occurring for the worst offenders, you can be sure other companies would swiftly clean up their acts.
What couldn't you order/get? I had no issues at all in the last year.
My experience lies on the artice author's side of this discussion.

Read some original Mishima or Dazai and they use kanji for words that modern novelists generally don't. Pick up some late Edo texts and the kaji-to-kana ratio is even greater still.

More mundanely though, if you consider typical text messages or random notes in a notebook, it's really common for words to "make the leap from kanji to kana" simply due to laziness/convenience/whatever.
It's probably also because they couldn't turn a profit in a year where everyone stayed at home, the market conditions should have been perfect for a delivery company.

Actually, when I sit in a restaurant, as I did, and have just finished my meal, as I have, and ask to pay via card (as the sticker in the lobby told me is possible), I have incurred a debt, which I am willing to pay, either by card, or should that not be possible, with cash as a legal tender fallback.

In pubs that are card-only, pay-first, you might have an argument - but this may become a discrimination lawsuit the moment my card gets denied when the sticker says it should be accepted.

Spotify have announced "Spotify HiFi" (currently without an exact release date or pricing information) for 2021, which will offer lossless streaming[1].

Anecdotally though Spotify's "Very High" quality works well for me and honestly in 99% of cases it is indistinguishable. My setup sure isn't the greatest, but I have a dedicated DAC, a headphone amp, and speaker amp with some reputable headphones and bookshelf speakers. I keep CD sourced FLAC files on a local disk but I never really play them anymore.

Maybe if I had large floorstanding speakers in the 1000$+ category there'd be a lot more cases where Spotify falls short - where the HiFi offering or local FLAC would have a strong case - but I certainly recognize it is a niche case.

The context here is key to why the OPs contribution is meaningless waffle.

There is a difference between a 50 year old cold case and a killing that happened last week.

In the case of a recent homicide with an actual arrest the "focus on the victims rather than the criminal" thing makes some sense.

In the case of the zodiac and other ancient cold cases it's rather irrelevant.

> the responsibility is with the consumer of their work

This would also apply to the problem of web search and social network monopolies. The way I see it: let Google and FB develop or host a plurality of ranking, filtering and UI variants, and let the users decide their preferred flavor. Then they can't complain about bias. There would be a Republican Google and a Democrat Google and a EFF Google and a BLM Google to pick from. They are now like single TV channels with unified editorial stance, they should be more like cable networks. Give people the remote for content ranking, filtering and UI.

> Yeah, your GPS example doesn’t hold up. How is denying an app location info consistent with your position that Apple wanting to enable companies to track users?

Many apps require location data for access to features. If you can't provide a fake location, your only choice is to either accept tracking, or not use the service.

Lots of companies use phone apps for tracking (eg. for tracking location of agents). The company will immediately realise when you turn off GPS access. If you had a way to spoof a location (eg. tell the phone to pretend you stayed in the current location), you could go to the toilet without your employers knowledge and without leaving your phone behind.

Abusers often use phone apps to track their victims. If you are in an abusive relationship, you may be too scared to turn off Find My Friends. If the phone was actually on your side, you would be able to enter a fake location, and your abuser wouldn't have to know that you visited your parents on your way home from work.

Apple wants location data from iOS users to be hard to fake, because it is more valuable this way. Apple's most important asset is the value of their ecosystem. It's why they can charge companies 30% to access it. The user's needs are secondary.
It is not just a crappy "generalized client application".
> people would notice my light odor and, those close to me, would call it out

I do not know nearly enough about this situation to make a judgement and can only talk about my environment, but if anyone, close or not, would comment on my looks or odor then none of them would ever think of the term "light". I've worked with homeless people, and it takes a lot for most to mention rather touchy subjects like this - exactly because a person's life circumstances are such a sensitive and private matter.

The only smell I absolutely cannot stand is the smell of cigarettes and people who just smoked one. Perfumes, sweat, strong body odor, who cares, it's not my body. But cigarette smell makes me want to avoid you like the plague. It's just too piercing to ignore.
> I suspect that the Indian workers who were, in my opinion, poorly treated - they had a lot less options.

so why isn't there an indian embassy to look after their citizens overseas there? Even you admit that you cannot be poorly treated because there's a british embassy offering some level of protection.

So the root cause is that the country does not care about its citizen.
Shaming people's natural body odor shouldn't be the norm.
It's quite distasteful and intolerant in fact (even sometimes a clear sign of racism). If someone gets offended by someone's BO, I would suggest them to reevaluate themselves as a human being and try to be tolerant of other's human nature.

I shower irregularly, when needed. Obviously more after a special sweat inducing effort or getting dirty outdoor. I don't stink, I smell human.

I find it offensive that someone would be so insensitive to have the nerve to express a displeasure at my natural body odor, when most often than not they would be the ones flouting a strong headache inducing chemical deodorant and/or perfume smell.

Living in a diverse society doesn't mean that everybody should be as bland as possible, but instead that efforts have to be made to be tolerant of others as they are.

So F* your teacher, shame on them
Yeah, humans haven't really changed very much biologically in the last 100000 years or so. Its often easy to think that advanced problem solving abilities are relatively modern, but theres not really any reason to think you or I are smarter than someone 50k years ago.
For network level blocking on Android there's no need to root or go down any rabbit holes. Just set your DNS to a adblocking service like nextdns. It's natively available since Android 9 and there are workarounds for older versions (usually by using an app that pretends to be a VPN).
