And, I don't have any guarantee whatsoever that a law protecting something related to me in a remote country will be left untouched. I don't even have any say on it, as a non citizen of this country.
Right of return is a relatively bedrock principle in international law. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_return In principle a pandemic would seem an obvious exception, easily analogous to exceptions like war, but too many are in denial about it. Moreover, even if you nominally had a law preventing return, what do you do when a foreign country puts your citizens on a plane bound for your country?

As a practical matter, it seems much easier, IMO, to restrict persons leaving than returning. It's also more flexible. Some number of people will leave, either illegally or via legal exceptions. So the policy has a pressure relief value. Conversely, a useful entry restriction demands much stricter application, which is likely to quickly crumble when your own citizens are trying to re-enter, especially in larger numbers as compared to a regime where they were restricted from leaving in the first place.

Cleaners themselves don't create stronger germs. It's the use of antibiotics in cleaning solutions that can possibly cause problems. Stuff like antibacterial hand soap and washes.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3366732/

Bacteria already have resistance to cleaners though. Biofilms are a huge issue when sterilizing tools and rooms in hospitals. Usually you have to remove the top millimeter of some surfaces just to get rid of the biofilms. They can survive extremely high temperatures and chemical environments. The dead bacteria on the top of the film make a barrier from the ones deep inside.

One of my professors in college was working on a way to sterilize surfaces using cold plasma and was seeing some promise for deactivating biofilms.

Starship could theoretically launch, refuel in space, and then land (on Earth) and take back off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellant_depot

It would have to deal with the extra weight of all the fuel on landing, but it would enable operations in completely remote areas.

More realistically, if you have access to methane, you can just refuel the rocket. Theoretically if you had access to water for hydrogen and atmospheric carbon dioxide, you could manufacture artificial methane - needing just electricity.

I marvel at OP's ability to make sweeping claims via a wall of text in an HN comment section, then refuse to respond to criticism. Fascinating.
Why are you confident about this? Semiconductor processes are complicated for a ton of reasons, and a process which is optimized for making main memory (DRAM) has some differences from a process optimized for making logic (CPU), and flash memory is different still.

I see AMD's effort as a way to sidestep the whole problem of putting memory and CPU on the same chip, by making separate chips and stacking them. It makes sense. You can get CPU packages with CPU + DRAM + Flash, but these are separate chips which are wired together inside the package.

E.g.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_on_a_package

The whole point of these systems is to avoid putting memory and CPU (and flash) on the same chip. AMD's version is smaller & more integrated than package-on-package but it still achieves the same goal: multiple chips.

Another advantage on wfh I see is that there is a less impact from the "visuals".. for example what you are wearing, what is your body language, how much attention others pay you during a meeting and all that nuance that could distract.. now in wfh, when you talk to someone over zoom, your whole attention is on the voice and contents, so the visual distractions has become less... I also see junior engineers who were getting intimidated in the meeting are able to verbally contribute more... Though both the things I mentioned have their own downsides..

I don't understand how the "work from the office one day a week" thing would work. If you mandate it's the same day for everyone then the office is empty 80% of the time. That's a huge waste of money. If you don't mandate everyone come in on the same day then all the benefits of being face to face disappear because the person you need/want to be face to face with chose a different day.

Finding a wagon is hard enough; try finding a manual transmission AWD wagon in the states! I overpaid for my 2006 audi a4 in 2016 and continue to pour money into it (as one does with a German car over 70k miles) because 6-speed turbo all-wheel wagons are only getting rarer. VW makes a manual sportwagen that is similar but uglier.

I would prefer a more full-size wagon (think Volvo XC70/V90) with a higher clearance (like an Outback), but it seems I'd have to give up the third pedal.

The upside is this might push me to be yet another van-converting yuppie for my camping/snowboarding needs and replace the wagon with a tiny electric commuter when it finally dies.
at my company the seniors are mainly responsible for driving projects/design and leading teams of juniors who do the implementation. working independently is not really an option

> What I find odd is there's essentially zero collector interest in station wagons

There's a very strong interest in a few, but they have to be special: older Benzes, early BMW 3-series Touring, Roadmasters, Cadillac CTS-Vs with the manual transmission, AMG wagons, early woodies.

> meaning they have utterly vanished.

Most were used for their purpose - they weren't treasured the way sports cars were, nor were they weekend cars. As a result, it's hard (read: expensive) to find a collector-quality wagon. Prices on BringATrailer and CarsAndBids reflect that.
> Where's the problem (other than opt-in vs. opt-out)?

What's the problem, other than the major problem?
It is generally hard to reason about public support in an authoritarian state, because such states largely control the access to information. So yes, people do hold opinions, but how do they go about forming these opinions? How many are in a position to make an informed decision?
"I'm not sure what their reasons are for experimenting with something new but I would be curious to know."

This is pure speculation on my part, but I assume the "Firefox team" wanted the selected tab to stand out visually. The selected "tab" turns white in the default theme. But if the tab is attached to the URL toolbar, then the URL toolbar also needs to be the same colour as the selected tab. It would look odd if they were attached but each was a different colour.

I assume the "Firefox team" wanted the active tab to stand out visually, but not the whole URL toolbar. So the tab becomes a button and is detached from the URL toolbar. Now the active "tab" and the URL toolbar can have different colours: A "louder" colour for the selected tab to make it stand out, and a "quieter" colour for the URL toolbar that lets it recede a little from the foreground.

That's what I think may be the reason for the tab change - but as I say, it's pure speculation (and could be completely wrong).
There is indeed compassion to be found around us. There is also coldness and callousness and contempt, and if these human sympathies have been expunged from your world, a lot of us would pay handsomely for interstellar travel to join you.

I agree that we all need to be pushing our oars as hard as we can, even if we're bruised and bloodied and can't push very hard. Freeloaders aren't acceptable; we all need to be trying our best.

Is the article writer trying his best? I don't know, but I found his piece beautiful. His battle right now is with meaning and metamorphosis, and I think those are respectable things to wrestle with.

I'm fond of the mental health innovation for veterans that I'm familiar with: VR exposure therapy for PTSD. I'm genuinely curious -- what else does the veteran community do for people who are struggling?

Far be it from me to defend Comcast, but it's not equivalent in the slightest. Comcast creates a separate network, with a separate IP, using their cable modem and the DOCSIS bandwidth available on their network. Its third-party usage does not count against your data cap, and any nefarious usage would not be associated with your own account and possibly subject you to civil or criminal sanctions.

> It is similar I think to the situation in the US where poor people will sometimes vote against their financial interests to support an identity.

I would like you to pause there for a moment and suspend what you already know to be true and factual. Just consider that this analysis does not explain the popularity of Republicans among the rural poor, but it does allow Democrats to explain this inconvenient fact away.

The sad reality is that neither party actually cares for the poor and working class, but at least the Republicans are honest about it. The rural poor generally know this, and this is why Clinton lost. They did not feel her to be an honest person.
This article reminds me of some of the thoughts from the "As We May Think" paper by Vannevar Bush back in the mid-1940s[0]...not as an insult, just that in our modern times, it seems we have some new but still some old challenges around ready access to actionable/useful info. I am a fan of the fragments idea. I constantly have a "scratch" note file open where I save all manner of text for me to re-use/refer to later on. Sort of something between a clipboard and an actual document...of course this falls far short of something really useful; plus can't copy/paste an image into the file. (And, no, I'm not going to use Word or some file like that because it doesn't work with the rest of my workflow.) Anyway, i sympathize with this article.

Ask HN: Does location-based search discovery exist?
Question or potentially actionable idea for a developer:
Is there a way to find out what people in a specific geographical area are searching for?
The only methods of doing search research that I'm aware of require starting with keywords or sites, or using Google Trends, but Google Trends topics are way too broad and not geographically specific enough.

Do people actually enjoy browsing 'scrollytelling" web pages? That's not a name I made up, there are enough of them out there that someone else has graciously come up with the moniker.

I always feel like I have to scroll slowly, much slower than I normally do, so I don't accidentally miss something. That's awful UX IMO. They would be better off creating two pages: one for regular users that want to simply read this extremely lengthy article. The other could be self-contained "web app" type interactive experience where you aren't limited to the CMS' page template to design the layout the way you want.

"It is possible for a copyright holder to revoke a license. so there could be an important contribution living in the code base and then one day the author could revoke the license and they would have to remove the code, and somehow prove their replacement was not infringing."

I don't believe that is true. A license is a contract; there are only two ways to revoke a contract: if the contract is illegal or if the contract provides terms to let you revoke it. If you publish software under the GPL, there is no way to revoke the license.

You could stop supporting the contribution in the code base and release alternate versions under different licenses, but the versions in the code base under the GPL remain available under the original terms.
