Isn't that up to your clients? Like, they know you're a one man band presumably. Maybe just let them know of the risk and, if they want they can make suitable arrangements, and you can charge them for it. Most small places probably don't care - other things to worry about.
My solution:

I keep a bunch of books from all topic( kubernets, python, ML, Design, Investing, HTTP, Cooking) and since my interests fluctuate(one day I like investing the other programming etc) then if today I'm interested in investing, then I'll read a investing book, mark some parts of it to be made into flashcards, mark the boring parts with another color(so I can read later) and then(another day) I make de flashcards and read the boring parts.

I have also noticed that I get 'sick' of a book after reading for some time, then I need to either stop reading or go to read something new.

This is called incremental reading and has significantly increase the amount I read.

Because before it can access the DOM, it needs to support:

* reference types
* interface types
* exception handling
* typed function references
* garbage collection

I.e. most WASM proposals must be accepted before we can use the DOM from WASM... by the pace it's been moving forward, I guess this will take at least several years (3-4+).

Whatsapp built its userbase over several years. It did so at a time where it had a clear value prop, replacing sms which cost a lot with something nearly free. It grew in popularity in eastern european countries, spread later in europe and then later in the US when Facebook acquired them.

This was a process, not a 1-day switch from skype to whatsapp. The network effects are real, and if you don't understand how difficult it is to get people to join a chat app, you won't win.
> trust only works in retrospect

Nonsense. Trust provides a basis for present and future dealings.
Way to deflect the actual issue.

The things you mention can be solved by actual supervision (you know, a supervisor doing their job) and old-fashioned time clock.

The issue here is expecting the employee to install a spying app on their personal phone. If it’s that important, they should give the employee a work phone with the app.
They're often (or mostly?) UI mock-ups not clones. Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26425233
Centralized chat systems are the problem.
"Not only did Facebook temporarily delete the post internally, the company also contacted Zhang’s hosting service and domain registrar and forced her website offline."
Ignorance might be bliss, but I urge you to consider that maybe your state media is lying to you.
This is the thinking of poor countries, like Croatia, Zambia, Tajikistan.

All rich countries have some kind of basic retirement benefits and some measure public medical care (the US spends more per capita on socialized medicine than does Canada) - this is partly why they are rich.

It's not even controversial anymore, it hasn't been for 70 years.
Exactly how you already did that. IANAL (although I studied law), but my take is you have proof for a case here.

Pages are separate from frames or "art boards". You can basically have all of your design in one page if you'd want to.

Perhaps this has highlighted a problem in the Metal render backend? Firefox generally sticks to the OpenGL standard (using ANGLE as a workaround where only DirectX is available on Windows) whereas Apple has their own APIs.

For example, Firefox seems to make use of the more proprietary Core Animation API got certain tender tasks, which no other OS needs special code for. If the Core Animation API or the code calling it has a bottleneck, you'll only see this problem on macOS.

It could also be a consequence of the way Apple optimises their laptops. On my phone and laptop, the websites hammers one single core (about 87% CPU usage on my laptop here). Apple has optimised their CPU power curves (on Intel, at least) to turbo high and turbo quickly, making actions like loading a website and opening an app nice and snappy. The design of the laptops doesn't allow these high turbo speeds for more than a few seconds, so CPU performance drops after a few seconds. For most use cases that's fine, but I can see a website like this running into that problem. Same thing is happening on Chrome, which is snappier for me but also more CPU intensive.

Edit: actually, after trying Firefox on my hackintosh (7700k, gtx1080), it's more likely to be hardware related. I have no trouble whatsoever with the website on any browser on my desktop, even the outdated copy of Safari works fine.
WebGL is slower than native mainly because of the additional security-validations compared to a native GL driver, e.g. it cannot simply forward calls into the underlying 3D-API but instead WebGL needs to take everything apart, look at each single piece to make sure it's correct, reassamble everything and then call the underlying 3D-API (roughly speaking).

The calling overhead between WASM and JS is quite negligable compared to that (at least since around 2018: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/calls-between-javascript-a...).

Another problem is that WebGL relies on garbage collected Javascript objects, but this problem can't really be solved on the WASM side, even with the "anyref" proposal (this would just allow to remove the mapping layer between integer ids and Javascript objects that's currently needed).
Sure we do. 95% of people selling a house will do quite a bit of cleaning and tidying before getting it photographed for sale.

Take a look at the property photos for some random homes on rightmove - every bed is made, every child's toy put away, every coffee table and nightstand free of books - there isn't even a towel in the kitchen or a toothbrush in the bathroom.

Almost nobody lives that way - they've just done a few hours of cleaning and tidying. Which is completely rational, if you're selling a home for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Cloud-Based Technology Surging in Education Sector
Technological advancements don’t just improve classroom learning but also significantly enhance the overall human capital and infrastructure supporting education delivery. One such breakthrough technology is education-oriented cloud computing, which was already surging in popularity before COVID-19. But post-pandemic, the use of cloud computing in the field of education has gained special importance.
4k gets you sharper text but the distance of the display away from you makes for diminishing returns in sharpness combined with horrific battery life and still 16:9. The macbook is very much a happy middle for normal use but I'm sure a Samsung Galaxy Book 4K is the best movie laptop ever
> She argues that Facebook is allowing its self-interest to interfere with its responsibility to protect democracy, and that the public and regulators need to know what is happening to provide oversight.

Firstly, Facebook's a private business which means it will pursue profitable solutions ahead of their concerns about "democracy." As Adam Smith wrote "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" to establish a moral framework before embarking on "Wealth of Nations", we can similarly see the ways that businesses will pursue profitable solutions based on the moral outlook they're working with. It's been pretty clear from the start that Facebook's business case is to monetize from the information users post online. Algorithms that maximize engagement (aka addiction) fall in line to the monetization strategy and moral attitude the company takes.

My final point is that a government's use of Facebook as a propaganda machine is a an age-old practice that shouldn't surprise any student from history (think of the kings who defaced and removed all records from their opponents). But he medium of communication is new, so they will take advantage of that. It will be Facebook's purview to decide whether they will continue these practices to continue, or take a different moral stance and become more "editorial" about their practices. Though on second thought, they have been this way for a long time with conservatives.
That's what you get with larger organizations.
But these large organization is what allows for the specialization and economies of scale that make up modern civilization.

For example, if you go to some big box store and forget to make you pay for something, I don't know many people who will point out the mistake and pay their due. The same people will probably be more inclined to do so if the shop in question is a small shop and they know the owner personally, even more so if he is an actual friend.

And the level of trust reflects that. Big box stores will monitor everything, because they know their customers can't be trusted, while friends will not even keep tabs. At the highest level, I don't know any country that trust their citizens when it comes to paying taxes, for good reason. There is an entire industry dedicated to more or less legal tax avoidance, opposed by an army of legislators and inspectors.

We have lost trust long ago. I'd say the turning point is the invention of the lock, thousands of years ago. I mean, isn't the lock and its information counterpart, cryptography, a symbol of distrust? For me, it is, but it is also what allows us to be secure among people we don't know.
please get in touch by email, I have a business proposal for you.

I highly recommend Robert Cialdini before making opinionated comments on trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence:_Science_and_Practic...
It's not a special employment status. As a contractor in the UK you have fewer rights (pensions, notice periods, unfair dismissal, etc.) than an employee, but used to have not-inconsiderable tax benefits to trade off against this.

Thanks to HMRC reforms known as IR35, a lot of contractors are now considered akin to "disguised employees" and taxed as such - thus being taxed like an employee without the requisite legal benefits.
The UK has aspirations to be American, see: leaving the EU, deregulation and attempts to dismantle the NHS.

Sadly the UK are not the only European country with these types of aspirations. My best guess is that there are tightening relationships between the tops of the political and business classes in many countries. And they are beginning to realize they can engage in unmonitored corruption while running disinformation campaigns to cover their tracks. And then running for re-election on populist rhetoric to maintain the appearance that they are the opposite of their actual policies.

This happening on both the left and the right. Though I would say on the right the problem is considerably worse (this may just be my personal political bias, take it for what you will). The few people that are paying attention to this kind of misbehavior are the extremely informed. Who of course are a minority. Society is stratified across the globe and the very poor and poorly educated are being taken advantage of.

Most politicians don't believe they are engaging in corruption. But there are a limited number of government contracts to go around, the contracts are increasingly valuable, and on the demand side there are a growing number of humans and companies. At some point you might have half a dozen or even dozens of "qualified" looking applications for a government contract. And the procurement people within any given government usually end up picking between the many possible qualified looking applicants by the fact that someone has a social tie to the inside.

The only possible solution I can think of is accepting some type of randomization in the assignment of government contracts. Because proximity to power is way too important right now. And the politicians don't feel like they are engaging in corruptions they believe they are giving their friends who have risen through the meritocracy a deserved opportunity. There is some truth to this but the problem is their friends aren't the only people who have earned similar opportunities.
Measures taken in schools are/were not to save lives of kids (who die in 0.0001% of cases). They are to prevent kids catching it and infecting teachers and grandparents at home.

This latter risk is not hypothetical - anecdotally my kid's primary school had one teacher die (in their early 50s), and in more general terms, school re-openings after lockdowns reliably seem to lead to spikes in deaths in elderly a month later.
Additionally, from what I've figured from the media reports on this, it's not just about this retroactive tax demand.

It's also about the level of tax they will have to pay going forward, which appears to be stupendously height (at least for freelancers). It appears on par with, or even higher than, what people with regular employment often pay, in countries with elaborate and functioning social security/welfare systems. Serbia certainly does not appear to have those.

It does appear as if this government really does not want freelancing to be a viable option. Considering the recent efforts to attract foreign investments into local Serbian (tech) companies, where almost insane return-on-investments figures are being promised (of course flowing back to the foreign investors), with all kind of questionable perks (pretty much destroying any potential competition from local businesses), it's not impossible that there is an orchestrated scheme going on here.

It sadly would not be a new phenomenon if/when in Serbia a small group of shot-callers are manipulating anything and everything to just enrich themselves, by collaborating with questionable (and ultimately abusive/destructive) foreign enterprises, at the expense of Serbia's citizens and in fact the country as a whole.

But, we'll see what happens.
As far as I understand people have already looked into that idea.
To quote [1]: “Another, longer-run, approach seeks to improve individual evaluation of the quality of information sources through education. There has been a proliferation of efforts to inject training of critical-information skills into primary and secondary schools (12). However, it is uncertain whether such ef- forts improve assessments of information credibility or if any such effects will persist over time. An emphasis on fake news might also have the unintended consequence of reducing the perceived credibility of real- news outlets. There is a great need for rigorous program evaluation of different educational interventions.”

This assumes VAT is always rounded up, which is not the case in e.g. Germany where it is rounded to the nearest cent - so the average rounding error cancels out to 0.

Does he get his work done? Is he providing value? If yes, don’t worry about it.

When I started my last job (decently large corp) there was a long onboarding session for mobile device setup. Email, Skype, a dozen other internal apps, 2FA authenticator, SSO, device profiles, remote locking/erase, certificates — the whole deal. There was even some weird internal app store. I asked them where I could get my company phone to set up all this, and they replied no, you just use your personal phone. I have never been more amused/horrified than at that moment.

I eventually escalated a few levels and was able to get them to buy me one, but I was also presumably the first person who asked so strongly.

So your reaction to this article is to assume that she was actually guilty of slacking off, and that was the reason for her not installing the application. All that because she had a "bullshit" job with poor cost-benefit. This is surreal.

We should all be concerned, as employees and as citizens, of companies asking their staff to install monitoring applications (especially on their personal devices). These applications are not open-source, there is no way to audit what they do with the collected data. Worse, there is nothing preventing them from changing their collection, sharing, storage practices, and those employees would be unable to remove the said application because they would be fired.

What a sad world we live in, where employees are assumed to be slacking off (like you just did with your extremely caricatural comment) if they are not tracked. The relationship should be built on trust, and common interest, not fear.

There are three pre-requisites to escaping the messenger silo treadmill:

1. multi-vendor, open standard protocol for E2EE group messaging
2. reference open-source clients for web, desktop & mobile
3. reference open-source server

Wire is contributing to #1 and they have a high-quality iOS (OSS) client and OSS server. Their Android and web clients are less stellar, but exist and can be improved. The iOS Arm client will likely be enabled on M1 Macs. Wire is free for individual consumers and has a paid offering for enterprise teams (i.e. their business model is neither data nor charity), and they do not mandate sharing your phone number or address book -- only an email address is required.

The IETF standard is MLS and it will live alongside TLS, https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mls/about/. The team behind Wire founded Skype and contributed to the first patent-free high-def audio codec (OPUS), which in turn enabled WebRTC, the protocol behind most modern video conferencing services.
Matrix.org provides #2 and #3 and has stated that they will migrate to the IETF MLS standard protocol.

Since both Wire and Matrix offer both OSS clients & servers, and there is active multi-vendor development on an open standard protocol for E2EE group messaging, web & mobile developers have multiple options for open-source contribution. Matrix already supports federated servers that can be self-hosted, and they recently supported the FOSDEM online conference with ~30,000 attendees, https://matrix.org/blog/2021/02/15/how-we-hosted-fosdem-2021...

> The most unique thing about Matrix is that conversations get replicated across all servers whose users are present in the conversation, so there's never a single point of control or failure for a conversation (much as git repositories get replicated between all contributors). And so hosting FOSDEM in Matrix meant that everyone already on Matrix (including users bridged to Matrix from IRC, XMPP, Slack, Discord etc) could attend directly - in addition to users signing up for the first time on the FOSDEM server.
Yes, definitely. My parents have "unlimited calls", and they regularly call people for a conversation that you would have via whatsapp/sms. They might even call the same person 5 times in the same day (and that person on another day might call them 5 times).

I think you're under-estimating what 'staging' is. In the US it's common to literally remove all the furniture in the house and to either leave it empty or to fill it with stage furniture. They try to make them look unlived in.

If you go on Zillow in the US and look at some Californian towns it's intense.

I'm confused. Isn't the US dollars something like a legally-backed "we-owe-you" of US goods and services? Why else do non-US residents value the USD? And why does EURUSD vary with relative economic output of the two countries?

Hello, this is actually my first post ever here! So, I put together a webapp that helps you generate open graph image dynamically. I forked it from vercel (github.com/vercel/og-image) and add more functionalities (more templates, custom background image, etc.). I think it can be useful for those who want to quickly create banner or poster for their events, projects, website. etc.

What do you think?
