> Yes, if you have £18k in savings...you don't need help. Do you understand what being poor is? You are not poor if you have £18k in savings.

Savings is not income. One is a stock, the other is a flow. People might be in need of income support even if they've been saving responsibly for a while.
Citation needed. As far as I know, chargebacks don't affect your credit score. Either you are in the wrong, and the chargeback is denied, or you are in the right, and the money is returned because it was wrongfully taken (scam, stolen CC, etc).
In modern cloud data is likely encrypted on disk and typically spread across servers. It’s not really feasible to access the data by physically taking control of the servers or disks.

Does the physical location really matter? If authorities need to access the data, they would anyways need a higher level access to it. In this sense it is more relevant who is controlling the data and where and under what jurisdiction that entity is located.
Plus there's the positive feedback loops, so even if that's the natural course we're on, it will lead to changes that will result in even further warming, i.e. no ice to reflect the suns heat, so we absorb more heat, and the methane released by the melting gas, amongst others (there's quite a few of them).

From what I've been reading, it seems like if we get up to 2 degrees, the positive feedback loops would probably keep us going up to at least 4-5 degrees.
Lithium is a valuable resource. EV batteries have lots of it. Therefore EV batteries are valuable even after they stop working.

Lithium is valuable because extracting it from naturally occurring salt deposits is a lot of work. These salt deposits are mostly not Lithium. We are talking trace amounts here. To extract it, you have to process vast amounts of brine. Boil of the water, separate it from other materials, etc. That's a lot of work and energy. Recycling a battery with high concentrations of Lithium is probably a lot less work. For that reason, lithium is a lot more expensive than other materials.

Melting old ice cars to recover the steel is already a thing. The steel has a value. All you need to do is melt it and reuse it. So, we already have existing practices for recycling old vehicles and companies specializing in that. The only thing that changes is that those companies will be dealing with very valuable batteries as well. Lithium is of course quite a bit more lucrative than steel. If it works for steel, it's going to work a lot better for lithium. Because it has a lot more value.

There's a big difference between saying what you want, and giving your current salary. The former avoids wasting time but the latter gives an advantage to the recruiter.
It's a bit hand-wavey logic in the OP. He's saying the cost of a home should be affordable, therefore any intrinsic value of the land (versus the cost of building the structure) should be taxed very heavily, such that 100% of the value of housing spending goes into the structure and not the land. Land is merely a vehicle to produce tax revenue, if anyone has extra land, they must pay for the privilege.

This would be disastrous for our house, we have a large wooded plot, it would presumably be heavily taxed beyond our means to pay.
If Tesla died, the major automakers would probably abandon EVs.

Does the industrial effort to decarbonize our economy really matter? Is it urgent? Is it essential?
IME using teams about a year ago- I hated threads. The "reply" section took up a massive amount of space on the screen for each message and replying to a message took it out of the chronology of the channel/team. It's possible that if everyone were disciplined enough to make sure that every chat message was a "topic" and kept everything as replies, maybe that would work. But in practice, that's not how conversations work and some of that is subjective. I'd much rather have everything in chronological order so that I can decide what is relevant context. Also, there was no way to turn it off as an admin at the time (there may be now), so even if we said "never use replies", people still sometimes did.

Discord's reply function is basically exactly what I want- It takes up no extra space, the message being replied to is not removed from its original context, and the reply shows a preview and lets you easily jump back to the original context.
We are using clubhouse after looking at a lot of solutions. We all like it as it is quick, low complexity and does not introduce artificial barriers between the teams.
> can’t see why it would be devastating in practice.

It's really hard to design systems split like that. There are so many corner cases. What when a user from the EU shares an image with a US group containing users from Australia. Where will the image be sent? Where will it be stored? What happens if the US members leave that group? Need the image be rehomed? What if at the moment that happens there is a trans oceanic bandwidth shortage/outage? Will there be a queue for rehoming images triggered by the final member of a group from a continent leaving the group?

To avoid all the complexity, 99% of 'distributed' systems have a 'master' for the data in just one place. I'm not sure there are any distributed datastores that are masterless outside academia.
Absolutely not. Osmotic gradient. This is another reason not to watch TV and spend more time reading trustworthy sources.
> So why do we pay cleaners so little?

I'll counter with an example which might illustrate.

If you were at a desert, and dying of thirst, you would pay absolutely anything for water. You would not pay anything for diamonds at all.

But in normal circumstances, water is cheap, so cheap, that it's almost not metered. Diamonds, however, is still fairly expensive (even artificial ones).

Why do we pay so little for water, when it's so essential? Why do we pay so much for diamonds, when it's basically useless cept for being shiny?
An Arizona fab will likely have an interesting effect on the way SW CA/NV/AZ "share" the Colorado River.
I’m an average random person. I have zero, even being high paranoia, of some other country surveilling me.

But my own country “spying” and surveilling me can be scary. They have a lot of power over me. My one voice isn’t important enough to change any legislation or actions. I doubt yours is either. If something unlucky happens with the surveillance of you in your country, you’re likely out of luck. OTOH, nothing happens if Russia or China surveils me (common boogeymen of the west)

Tools are great, but here's the million-dollar question: how do you make people maintain the docs?
While trite and below HN, the best reply is ROFL. You first announce that you've done your extensive audit of accounts and can't yet find the fishiness -- though you're sure it's there given that people have opinions different from you -- and now my account is too young for your suspicion filter and therefore "proves your point"? I literally laughed out loud.

This whole discussion reminds me when everyone was fearmongering that Snapchat was for kids to send nudes to each other and arrange rainbow parties. When people aren't in on something, it can only possibly have negative value.

My "What's there to hate" query was in response to you claiming that you don't have a strong hatred for it. That's like saying you don't have a strong hatred for deer, or Asians, or trees. It's a weird thing to announce that you don't have a strong hatred for.
So, I'm not really sure how the distinction between `rustc` and the government-issue `clang` chain really matters unless one is a lot faster, and they're both really slow.

Yeah, we can choose the degree of chaos, and right now the degree that's being chosen is total fucking chaos (while pretending there's going to be zero chaos). Maybe we can tone it down to "quite a bit of chaos", though.
This happens, but between most people having friends/family and high profile cases having groups outside the station, this causes problems for the police. The proposed change gives them more time without needing to deal with those problems.

The article is describing a process of maximizing ones compensation. You can continue to have a number you care about in your mind and judge the final offer against that.

Shifting jobs is usually the only time you have lots of opportunities to negotiate up by a lot. Personally Ive found that the better offer I can get, the better tenure I have at a company since I’m not focused on playing games to get promoted, but have negotiated a somewhat higher than expected level and salary.
I'd love to be able to export to a vector format - something I can load into another diagram tool. Not sure of the Visio format is open and documented, but being able to export to Visio would set my mind completely at ease.

Aside from that, I'd echo what a couple of others here have said about having a desktop app version, which would work with local, rather than cloud storage - I generally prefer to have full control over my data and how it is managed. I personally wouldn't mind an Electron app (presumably a native app is going to be a lot of work).

I look forward to trying it!

When the entire world moved their factories there and then started to import everything, what else would you expect? It's funny how communists beat capitalists using greed to their advantage.

IMO before react native came on the scene there were no well performing hybrid app frameworks except possibly xamarin. So it likely wasn't your fault

I saw somewhere else in the comments a story about a disabled woman being kicked off UC because she put some of her disability payments into savings and crossed some threshhold.

This presumably means that some of my taxes went into someone auditing her bank acounts, going "yup that's too much money", then into all the paperwork involved in kicking her out, followed by a few months later all of the paperwork and auditing of her re-applying for UC once her savings ran out.

Obviously we would have saved a bunch of money by someone auditing her case, saying "yup still not got any legs" and moving on, but should we be paying for that in the first place?

I don't like the idea of the government looking into my personal affairs or deciding how I should be spending my time. Obviously they don't at the moment since I have a very nice job but what if I got hit by a car on my way to work?

If some kind of universal income lets us keep the government's nose out of our collective businesses and the cost of that is Amazon has to pay more tax or whatever I don't really see the problem.

Maybe a few wasters just live off the money and play games all day but they were probably going to do that anyway. Most people like having something to do in my experience...
> IMO this whole "multiple offers give you leverage!" bullshit knocks a good majority of these job negotiation blogposts off the table.

Pitting multiple buyers against each other seems like the best way to negotiate to me, regardless of what you are selling.
It's not a matter of data being encrypted, it's about the US authorities being able to demand decrypted access to the data of EU citizens from Facebook.

I think tiktok sucks and all, but the users talking about how great it is are not a bunch of green name nobody's - it's established users. I doubt that they were all made using fake comments just for this moment for tiktok to AstroTurf.

Having fallen back in love with PlantUML recently I’ll never use a proprietary tool that doesn’t have declarative syntax. System diagrams and documentation are a crucial part of any software business and one that is regularly out of date as people end up using tools like draw.io which nobody knows how to get access to or use.

If they suddenly changed the keyboard layout I and many other long time users would be absolutely infuriated. This is just the correct keyboard layout for me.
I would assume that most Europeans know people living on another continent, or at least people who have lived there in the recent past. There are plenty of careers and hobbies where you make international connections, plenty of jobs that require you to live somewhere else for a while, and plenty of people looking for opportunities elsewhere.

Globally, around 1 person in 30 lives outside their country of origin, so knowing people in other countries should be common.

Fancy tools never left, you just stopped using them. I've been using Adobe Illustrator for art since before anything mentioned in this post even existed. Except Dreamweaver and Vim, if "neovim" counts as Vim. It is a complicated tool that has a lot of ways to easily make useless effects, and a lot of ways to easily make beautiful art.

Also most of the professional writers I know don't write in Word, they write in Scrivener, which is essentially an IDE for prose. Then they export to Word and use this as a common interchange format with everyone down the line in the publishing workflow. It is a very fancy tool.

And really I dunno if NeoVim counts as not "fancy", the first highlight on its page is a section about how extensible it is. It's got two languages to write plugins in, with several screens to scroll down in the list of "plugins and applications that leverage the Neovim API". That is some fancy-ass shit right there.
I had always assumed that when a lithium battery didn't work any more, the lithium was somehow "depleted", or had been charged chemically somehow?
Indeed. These were very big in middle school computer labs circa 2005.

I wonder if anyone with more historical perspective knows of any older examples of these blatantly false theories from other eras or if this type of conspiracy theory is unique to the digital age?

Keep Mega Menu height Responsive for 40% all the time
this site was a real pain, everything they asked for was a challenge to get it work, now they need mega menu to be exactly 40% on any screens, what is the best way and maybe fastest way to achieve that?
I was exaggerating. Sure they're regulated, but "heavily" is also an overstatement compared to how much they should be regulated. This is no different than how when talking about installing a new pipeline they say there's all these fail-safes, protections, monitoring, inspections, etc, but then oil leaks happen and it's found that the pipe had been deteriorating for months if not years which shows they actually aren't under the scrutiny that's claimed and there aren't protections in place. Or they lobby to have their pipeline self-inspected similar to what Tyson was able to negotiate with their meat plants. That's just one example of many. Sure in theory there's all this regulation, but somehow we keep having disaster after disaster that would have been avoided if all these regulations were enforced.
It would be inconvenient for me, but as long as there is something else we can move to (Diaspora), I will survive.

I know two people who have married people from the US who have moved here. I imagine they wouldn't be very happy not being able to interact with their friends across the seas nearly as easily. Who would they blame? That is a good question.

On the other hand, Twitter would be pretty pointless if I could only interact with EU tweeps. I don't know if they would be hit by this, I assume there is a GDPR exception for this the user publishes?
I'd be more comfortable with that than with my own government, that cares what I do and how I vote, having access to facebook's data on me. The scariest part of European data sitting on US servers for Europeans is that the US will have absolutely no regulations keeping them from harvesting, slicing, and packaging every bit of it, and sending it back to Europe.

Keeping the data from being shipped out is a good step (hopefully not just focused on Facebook), but reimportation of that data is a laundering process that can render local data protections moot.
I consider this sort of polemic, reductive summary utterly impolite. You left out the really important point: the suggestion that writing code could benefit from approaching it like one had only one shot at it, instead of patching smth. together that might or might not be improved upon incrememtally later on.
This sort of summary you did there is not in good faith.
Stop shutting down nuclear power plants, seriously.

TikTok doesn't autoplay anything -- it repeats the video you watched. Do you mean you scrolled down?

Further, obviously the seed video that you used is going to have an enormous influence on subsequent videos (as presumably would the sender -- shared links can contain details about the sender, and if they had a logical algorithm that can play a part as well). And of course surely we all know that sites don't just track by being logged in. Even if you clear all cookies.

I just opened the TikTok homepage through a proxy in a clean instance of Firefox. First video was a woman who paints patterns on her face. Second was someone show a technique to clean stainless steel sinks. Third was a guy in Turkey showing his rugs. Then a dog bringing a leash back to its owner, someone using one of those pop-it distraction things, a guy with his cat in a box in front of a roller coaster video pretending the cat is on the roller coaster.

Eh. I don't see how your anecdote is such strong evidence of the "type of audience they were aiming to attract" (especially when the site seems to overwhelmingly cater to adult women...)

You are still living the life of a poor person. You are homeless. You don't have a car. You don't have a smartphone. You have nothing except your savings. The crucial difference is that the disabled lady apparently didn't even own the savings she sacrificed her living standards for.

I took my semi truck to one of the company shops recently. There were some electrical problems that were getting progressively worse.

The technician thought, poked, checked, asked a colleague.

Finally he got out his phone, googled, and disconnected the batteries for about ten minutes. Then reconnected the batteries, and all was well.

I guess something needed to be put to death and reincarnated.

He laughed about it and told me how he fixed it. I laughed too and thanks him, but sometimes that's what you do, and you have to know enough to select the likely or possible out from the unlikely and implausible.
