I'd be willing to be that at the time any orphanage or boarding school at the time would have similar problems.

There were so-called British "Home Children" orphans sent over to Canada to work housed at private homes. There are many stories how they suffered the same fate. Even in my province an orphanage of local children one of the typical heritage British/Irish/Scottish/French, they also suffered terrible abuse.

There's no prize for who suffered most. The problem is First Nations children are from a minority with few of their own people remaining the abuse suffered amplifies the tragedy along with losing their culture.
Yeah, toggle switches for some reason are always infuriating. I particularly hate the ones with text inside. It appears ticked, but says 'Disable'...wait is it disabled or telling me to click to disable. I much prefer radio buttons.
Can't use Garmin pay to pay for train / bus fare, or at least not as widely as Apple Pay.
> Amusing that you think state enforcement of the first amendment on a "neutral platform" is authoritarian

That's not what the first amendment is. The first amendment ONLY applies to the government.

The fact that so many on hacker news continue to not understand this simple fact no matter how many times it's explained is absolutely mind-boggling. You can complain about Facebook and Twitter's policies as being dumb or bad, fine, but regardless of your opinion on them, they have nothing to do with the first amendment. None.

The first amendment has NEVER meant that private groups are obligated to carry your speech. Even if Facebook was explicitly discriminating in the open against one side, that would be entirely within their rights. Maybe that would be a bad thing that you could argue against, but it would have nothing to do with the Constitution.

edit: also, what does "neutral platform" even mean? Oh, I'm sure FB and Twitter make some claims to 'neutrality' or 'lack of bias', somewhere, but what legal weight or meaning does that have? None whatsoever.

Or are you trying to suggest that if tomorrow Zuckerberg announced, "we're going to be the biggest online social platform for Marxists only" this would make it okay in your eyes?
Sad that it works like this.

As an engineer, I got some training by legal, followed up by a high level exec explaining to us that in this context, we report only to legal and are required to say "no" to engineering leadership when something would go against legal's policies.

Also I think the military has something similar with medical officers.

So it could be done right.
Here is what they would have to accomplish:

From the new law:

https://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.as...

> The term does not include any information service, system, Internet search engine, or access software provider operated by a company that owns and operates a theme park or entertainment complex as defined in s. 509.013.

https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2015/509.013

> “Theme park or entertainment complex” means a complex comprised of at least 25 contiguous acres owned and controlled by the same business entity and which contains permanent exhibitions and a variety of recreational activities and has a minimum of 1 million visitors annually.
You nailed it. That's precisely how I felt.
I watch ARTE often and I wonder why this specific video is blocked here (Canada). Do they fear that they may face repercussion from the government or some other entities?
The cheaper alternative is to sue and have the clearly unconstitutional theater piece thrown out.
I was taught that writing and speaking are very different you tend to speak much differently than you'd write. Maybe that was bad advice.
Newspapers have always had opinion sections.
How much will cost a NFT of one hectare (~ 100yards x 100yards)?

Who will be in charge of maintaining that piece of land?

If I pay only once, and there are cost maintaining the land (a fence, planting new trees after a fire or flood, ...), how it will be maintained in the long run?

Why a NFT? Why not just a usual non-profit + a usual database?
I wish it was that simple. First of all, around half of the lethal accidents with motorcycles do not involve another road user. The other half is often caused by the motorcyclist due to speeding, insufficient distance or incorrect clothing and protection.

Second of all, while cars have seen half a century of safety improvements, motorcycles have lagged behind. Nevertheless, road use and traffic density have increased. Riding a motorcycle is akin to driving a car without a seatbelt, without a crumble zone and without ABS (and even then it is more lethal). Accidents happen. It is how you prepare for them that makes the difference.

Yes, I also find it incredibly stupid how the US has become so walking and cycling unfriendly. The reason why the Netherlands is different is not due to legal or regulations. It's because we have had leaders who made long-term plans to separate the various types of traffic. This means we separate the risk groups. You won't find many walking on roads with traffic exceeding 50 kph (30 mph). You won't find cyclists on highways. That is the solution.
Yes they are both homoiconic. I said that was one of the key selling points of GraphQL. I don’t understand the conflict.
I can't speak to the sandboxing, but their implementation is definitely non-standard considering that I don't see Google or gstatic appearing in umatrix when I go through the logon process and they aren't flagging me for captcha even though I am coming out of a known VPN endpoint which trips recaptcha on every other site that employs it.
Really not sure about it, Google lets you do it quickly but if you do it, they'll just throw more problems at you it seems.
I don't understand your comment. We were precisely talking about "newspapers and books" which can have an historical value, and you present an anecdote about a friend of your mom that was a hoarder, while calling data preservation "perilously close to the mental illness that results in hoarding behavior.". Do you not understand the difference between keeping newspaper, books, photos and "every random [...] piece of paper that comes through your house"?

> Nobody is intersted in it. Throw it away.

How about you focus on how to live your life and I'll handle how to live mine?
Not really. Once Postfix, Dovecot, DNS stuff, DKIM, it "just works". I did lose some time, three years ago fiddling with spamassaaain vs rspamd but mail, after the not-really-that-hard-at-all setup. I mean, folk handle way more complex stuff (k8s) but balk at a bit of time on this old, boring, stable set-it-and-forget-it self-hosted wonder.
My own advice re secure email is that there isn't such a beast – you just can't apply what is expected from modern secure messaging, like having no insecure fallbacks, forward secrecy, encrypted metadata, etc.
Yeah politicians being held to a different standard than the rest is textbook authoritarianism.
I'm not really proposing a new law - just the application of existing laws about manslaughter to people who, historically, do a lot of it. Just because there are a lot of prime ministers that have fallen well short of any reasonable standard when it came to decisions that cost lives does not mean that we should continue to give governments carte blanche.

What you are describing is not a dysfunctional idea, but rather a dysfunctional system where there is no accountability. Boris Johnson can break the rules on donations (for example), pick an investigator for an 'independent investigation', and nobody will even mention the fact that it's a complete farce, because all the journalists are afraid of losing access.
I use emoji for this pretty often but mostly just as inside jokes. If you don’t let someone in on the joke, it might have a completely different meaning. The eggplant is an obvious example but not as subtle as what I mean.
I suppose there's an inherent risk, but the Sunbeam ones have an auto-off mechanism in case you forget to turn them off in the morning.
Fixing it should be as easy as disabling the animation that's outside the viewport, I guess.
The issue is that in America most books are printed on lower quality paper to reduce costs. This kind of paper decays much faster. To see how better quality books look like, look at high end academic publications, which are still produced to be stored in libraries for a long time.

Not sure who invented the academia-industry dichotomy, but he/she deserves a society-wide slap. Society loses, the individual loses. My career is just a big middle finger pointed at this dichotomy.
It was most definitely a bad environment. Children were essentially kidnapped and forbidden from speaking their language, expressing indigenous identity, and europeanized.

It's interesting to know that the people doing this and supporting it thought that they were doing something good for the kids. Remember that when someone with a good intentioned idea that doesn't respect people's humanity speaks up.
The federal government is aligned with its cronies in big business to censor information from the general public. One state is fighting back to stop that.
> human-operable motorized transport devices

Also known as 'automobile' or 'motor vehicle.' Cars are really just a subset of automobiles. It's less weird when you phrase it like that, using established terminology, right?
Is this any different than, say, California's AB5 though? AB5 is riddled with carve outs but many here call it a fair bill (and I recognize that many, maybe even most here, also call it out for having so many carve outs). Exempting particular segments from regulations seems to be the norm when you're trying to narrowly target a certain industry.
That’s fine. Why waste time productionizing something that may or may not ever go to production? We do this all the time. Do you think Tesla built a whole fully-automated factory to build its first proof-of-concept car?
256GB is a poor user experience. Apple needs to sell bigger SSDs.
It looks interesting, it goes the functionality checkboxes, but given the thread here the target audience is likey interested in privacy and security. Tricepmail seems to have little to no information about security, and the privacy policy is basically GDPR compliance (specifically: we'll tell you what we collect personal info for) with the option to sell the data to third parties.
Additionally, the apps appear to be in beta-stage still. They're functional, but still pretty rough in appearance.
You're going to be hard pressed to convince anyone here to switch to a service that retains the right to sell your data, doesn't reveal the country of administration, and is relatively new.

It's obvious graft because DisneyWorld is in Florida.
Twitter could kill two birds with one stone and establish a 25 contiguous acre zone filled with recreational activities where visitors rate tweets on whether or not they think it violates the Terms of Service.
Exactly which parts of their business model should be illegal? It's pretty standard Silicon Valley stuff - give away your product until there is no competition left, then you can do what you like.
I doubt Florida will be the last state to pass legislation like this. The overstepping of social media into the shaping of public discourse has been so egregious in recent years that the course has been set.
"You're only able to call an 800 number"
sweetie no that's just what they want you to think. Find the address of their office and write into them recorded delivery (in the UK this means a signature from someone on receipt of the letter but you might have a different phrase for it). It shows them you're not going to jump through any hoops you don't have a legal obligation to jump through and also that you're collecting evidence to escalate it beyond them if they don't cooperate.
Thanks for this. Though I'm not gonna trust it 100%, even though I like what it says, since, y'know, the EFF is obviously more inclined towards that take.
An even more efficient way would be to just not cut down the trees to make paper in the first place.
> The trust industry is awful and somehow Google and Apple came up with worse versions.

You're putting them in the same bucket, but TFA calls out Google (and not Apple) for good reason.

> Between them those 3 companies are the gatekeepers of almost all (signed) app distribution.

And? I'm assuming you're not saying "software should not be signed", in which case I'm missing your point.
Are there any movies like horror or suspense films to burn this First Nation’s boarding school concept into our collective conscious?
You need to establish channels of enjoyment for your life. Sports, meditation, religion, intimate relationships, vacations, hobbies, etc. Startup life is hard and sucks most of the time for a long time. It gets easier with good people around you and money in the bank, but it's never a walk in the park.

Become resilient by building layers of enjoyment. When problems come, use these layers to dissipate pain. Hope this helps.
Here's my carefully honed bedding system

* Fitted bottom sheet.

* No top sheet.

* Duvet in a washable cover, a size larger than the bed.

* No blankets.

There's nothing to come untucked or get tangled in, and making the bed takes 3 seconds. It's ruined me for other beds though, getting wound up in all the layers and loosing blankets.
Exactly! Newspapers are held to a higher standard for their content.
In my limited experience with renting, self-managed properties often don’t hike rents annually. Feels to me like this is because the landlords aren’t tracking market movements and so don’t understand they can increase their gross revenue by 5-30% in some years because demand significantly outstrips supply in many metros.

Managed properties the agent generally does have a lot of datapoints about the market and will raise the rents accordingly,. They can see what similar properties are fetching, they can see the result of hikes in terms of people who move out, and their incentive is the management fee is quite often a % of gross revenue.

I’d go as far as saying charging significantly under the market rate for rents is financial mismanagement. You’ve got an asset delivering you income and you aren’t managing the return on the asset to be broadly what equivalent assets are returning to others.

I don’t think charging the market rate makes you a mustache twirling villain.

This isn't my experience. I created my dev account years ago with a non-gmail account. Admittedly, it is a corporate account that is managed by google, but I don't think there was any step in the process that required this.

It's possible that things have changed since I created my account nearly a decade ago, or that somehow I got a pass because google manages my domain's email. But they definitely do not force @gmail.com addresses for all devs.

EDIT: See this Microsoft extension [1] for example. It shows @microsoft.com, which is undoubtedly not managed by google like my little old startup's email is!

Am I understanding correctly that a "data buffer" would be like a serialized representation with some kind of schema at runtime? That makes sense. I just don't know how to shake the standard that the fields of business entities become the fields of Go structs.
Sure it's a platform, just like LikedIn is. Often the content published on these is seen as rather shallow, no doubt due to their popularity.
I don’t know how I missed that project. While very ambitious, I feel that it’s direction is the most practical proposal I’ve heard to modernize Emacs.
I did the first four exercises and like the concept a lot. It reminds me of Scratch and I think it would be a great way to learn how Unix tools can be combined to form powerful pipelines. The only thing I dislike is that it encourages the infamous “useless use of cat” anti-pattern.
There is no "admission you're a publisher," it's a meaningless concept with respect to the laws that are on the books. The law is: hosts of user-generated content can remove that content at their discretion, and still not be considered the "speaker" of all the other content they do not remove (obviously, because that would be impossible to police at scale, and obviously because obviously Twitter did not make the post).

If you kick someone out of your restaurant for being loud and boisterous in the dining area, you are not suddenly responsible that someone was disparaging a public figure the next seat over and you chose not to kick them out.
I genuinely don't know a single person who considered AB5 "fair". In fact, the entire reason prop 22 passed was because AB5 is such a disaster.
Researchers mostly. They are the one currently going through stuff from the Roman Empire through the 80's to try to understand history better. You can see a thread on HN that is about what people ate in the Roman Empire https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27310179. I also remember a youtube channel called "Depression Cooking" where an old lady explained what they ate and how they lived during the great depression. You can argue about the value of knowing what romans or people during the great depression ate, but our society seems to value knowing the past.
Interesting read, but the data seems extremely skewed.

Quote from the same article: "Eighty-eight of the 123 funds were go-go tech/Internet darlings that soared in 1999 but crashed after, losing 24.1% per year from Jan. 1, 2000, to Dec. 31, 2002."

So, it seems like the data comprising the "after-years" is highly skewed towards years when the overall market crashed, which explains the negative returns.

If your claim is true, shouldn't there be a fund that simply indexes the broad market minus top performing hedge fund holdings? If not, why not?
And what happens when an investor and your cofounder disagree? What happens when they turn one founder against the other? what happens when they pressure the board?

If you haven't seen one of the above than I doubt you've been involved in more than a couple investments, let alone 20.
Woah indeed. Just doing the math it's about $1k per year for 10k-$15k users? Roughly?

That could be very enticing for a lot of developers.

Thanks for sharing this.
Vehicle are approved by each country, not by EU. EU make that validation in one country is accepted in all country of the union and other countries that have a treaty with the union (Switzerland in this case). So you are blaming EU for the failure of the country you are in whereas it's the EU rule that have allowed you to get it in another country.

EU has help you to get what you need and for some reason you find a way to blame it.

If there was no EU, you would need to have one validation per country.
This imagination that there needs to be a framework is nonsense. It's done by people who have drunk the koolaid and don't have a long view of programming.

The complexity implicating the overhead is an imposed illusion.

All software lays bare the organizational structure that it's created in.

The structures work within other organizations similarly structured.

It's why ruby shops look the same along with php, java, etc. Why it looks like their is a consistency of dynamics among these channels of development.

Some of these institutional structures are healthier and more productive than others.

React, as a codebase is an autocratic hierarchy ultimately run by ignorant indecisive incompetency that fosters cult adherence to achieve ultimately banal ends through a needless level of strife and overhead.

That's effectively most programming teams which is why it's ultimately so popular. It's also why there seems to be so many cocky buffoons in their early 20s doing it.

Those who see a need for frameworks are speaking more to their rigid notions of the organizational structure upon which software is built then upon the technical need at the software level.
I had this problem and I didn't do much to resolve it and eventually ended up in a bad burnout. Since then I have hated working longer hours. In retrospect I could've done so many things, but I ended up learning the hard way.

Here are a few things you could try:

- Use your expertise to help the marginalized people around you. This will surely take you away from your work towards a human touch.

- Did you ever have any other passion before you started working. Try rekindling them.

- falling in love/ getting married, having kids gives life a new perspective ..

- Changing your job, going into a new environment may also help ..

Hope you find your way .. wishing you the best ..

This law is going to be struck down fast. Other states can test the courts, but why pay for all the litigation if it looks like Florida is going to lose?
I’m imagining each company starting a theme park to get around the law. Microsoft’s would have scary rides like Blue Screen of Death and DLL Hell. Facebook’s rides have people you never want to talk to again trying to start conversations with you, and you have to deflect 10 in a row to win a stuffed animal. Google’s park will shut down their best rides just when people were starting to like them. Apple’s will be sleek and glassy and completely silent — you’ll only be able to hear what’s going on when you put on your AirPods Pro Max 3S.
In California, stealing something worth $950 and under is a misdemeanor. Theft is skyrocketing and businesses are leaving. Walgreens has closed 17 stores in San Francisco alone in the last 5 years. They recently uncovered a theft ring that had over $8 million in stolen products. Apparently, some people, enough people, take advantage of compassionate laws to the detriment of everyone else. So, I guess it depends on where you compare that $100 theft.

Social media isn't obliged to carry unedited content either. They just do it because it maximises profit.
Thanks for the details. I'm curious though, couldn't traditional publications just say their articles are "user content" and absolve themselves of all legal liability, like defamation?

Indeed: it seems (according to TA Eliot) that Henry James dictated his latest novels to a typist (or something similar) and that accounts for the density and lack of freshness (also of his revises edition of his works, which he did in his old age).
If it were truly inverse, the text should also be inverted, for example "I Opt Out Of Emails." And it should start Xed, so that enabling it is like closing the Off. Then I would be fine with it.
