I suspect it probably comes down to what's in your contract. I've seen situations where the company has the option (at their choice, not yours) to buy stock off you when you leave the company.
If it's a significant amount of money, probably makes sense to talk to a lawyer.
Still, you guys assume this would be within the US, only. Excuse me for saying that, but that's some typical, US-centric kind of thinking. There's really whole world out there. If you're going to go for 2 weeks, go to Asia, South America or Central/South Europe and pay a third of the costs. Heck, do you know how cheap country side airbnbs in Portugal or Italy are? THAT'S how you build lasting memories.
I'm not sure anyone is disagreeing with you. That is why they said to get another hobby or craft—so that you might want to write software in neglected areas. And of course financial compensation is good for this too, but I wonder if passion projects are of higher quality.

It is true that "empathy" probably won't help much, though.

If you want Chromium sans Google, Ungoogled-Chromium or any QtWebEngine-based browser should work much better.

I get that this is a joke, but — would that be legal in the US?

In Germany it definitely would not, at least not without it being specifically allowed by your contract.

But maybe in the US, as long as you didn’t have a conflict of interest?

Would the amount of total time worked matter? Would doing it in multiple states simultaneously matter?

We don’t know that there is no downside which is why these vaccines were approved via Emergency Use Authorization. At the very least I and several people I know were absolutely flattened by the vaccines for a day or two. One guy I know had very low blood sugar for weeks afterwards and needed medical intervention.

The vaccines are important in establishing herd immunity, but I don’t understand the desire to jab people who already have established immunity.
well i guess this is fantastic to avoid the argument against eradicating all mosquitos as a whole since they may be part of a food chain or something. It just prevents the disease from transmitting!
That's me. Born in Florida, but totally comfortable in NYC other than February/March and those 2-4 terrible weeks in summer.

The economics of Canadian oil sands production are just not that marginal for production to be affected by this. Suncor figures that their fully loaded breakeven oil price is $35 WTI [1](WTI is currently trading in the $60s).

All that has happened here is more oil getting shipped by rail with a higher carbon footprint.

That article doesn’t impress me. Their remarks about CID image embedding are fairly incoherent and suggest they have largely just copied stuff from https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/embedde... and added a few bits of their own to avoid being dinged by Google for plagiarism, but didn’t really understand what they were adding.

> The impairment of this process upturns the email size while attaching an image that affects deliverability.

Well this is some nice word soup. I think that by the “impairment of this process” they mean “crafting the MIME message so the cid: URLs are all right”, which honestly isn’t that complex, and libraries tend to help you with it. For the rest of the sentence, I think what they’re trying to say is “using attachments for images makes the email bigger and may cause it to be rejected”. That’s… not a particularly reasonable claim. Also they don’t point out similar on inline data: URI images, which is poor of them. The fact of the matter is that the cid: and data: approaches will both use base64 or similar encoding.

> The CID email embedding method is not well applicable for browser-based email.

This is somewhere between mostly and entirely false.

If they mean webmail can’t read and display the <img src=cid:…> approach, they’re flat-out 100% wrong. It’s completely robust, supported absolutely everywhere that supports HTML markup.

If they mean webmail can’t author the <img src=cid:…> approach, well, that’s a bit more of a mixed bag. Some can, some can’t—and in some cases it depends on how you add the image (via an “insert image” toolbar button, via {dragging and dropping/copying and pasting} {an image/a remote image reference/some rich text including an image/some rich text including a remote image}, and several more—there are many ways, and some clients don’t intercept them all).

No, the real problem of the CID approach is that the image is an attachment, and although the client will almost certainly respect the `Content-Disposition: inline` header on the attachment and/or observe the fact that it’s used in the markup, and not show it in the list of attachments (or show it separately in some way), for mailbox search purposes it’ll almost certainly be included, and so queries like `has:attachment` will match the email. This makes the tempting idea of using this to put an image in your signature extremely problematic, because now it’ll be impossible to search for emails where you attached something, because every email has an attachment.
Just a little more data--

For a long time (from the phase 2 trials of the vaccines) we knew that they generated a very large immune response compared to natural infection: https://www.nejm.org/na101/home/literatum/publisher/mms/jour...

And recent research shows vaccination far outperforming past history of natural infection wrt: variants--https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03324-6/figures/1

> I think you've misread my comments.

No, I really didn't.

If you agreed with me that Apple's actions are illegally anti-competitive, then you wouldn't ask why/how/when their actions are illegal.

So yes, by asking me why/how/when their actions are illegal, you are disagreeing with me. Thats what it means to ask that. We'll see if you were right or not, to question why/how/when their actions are illegal.

> So I don't know how you're describing it as 'illegal'.

When you say "I don't know how", that is a disagreement with me. You are saying that you do not see how their actions are illegal.

And my response, to you casting doubt on their actions being illegal (By saying that you "do not see how" they are illegal), is that I will show you why the actions are illegal, in a couple months.

And then you can re-evaluate your previous confusion as to "not seeing how" their actions are illegal, when that court decision is made.

I am pretty sure that I am right on this. And I'll be able to show this to you, when the court decision happens, and you can understand why you were incorrect to doubt that their actions are illegal.

> Where do you think I said what I think the outcome of any trial would be?

By the fact that you are saying things like "So I don't know how you're describing it as 'illegal'."

You are saying that you do not know how Apple's actions could be described as illegal, and I am saying that the court case will show you how.

Thats what it means to say stuff like "So I don't know how you're describing it as 'illegal'" It means that you don't think that their actions are illegal.

I also see that you are saying things like "Apple has less than a 50% market share on smart phones.", which is implying that you don't think that they are engaging in illegal/anti-trust behavior.

But like I said, this will all be settled in a couple months, and you will be able to see why it was incorrect to not be sure of how their actions are illegal.

You will be able to look back, and understand why it is incorrect to not be sure of how their actions are illegal.

The problem is that when John converts to Bitcoin he may receive Bitcoin that has a criminal history attached tainting it. That taint may prevent John from using his Bitcoin at certain places or exchanging it elsewhere. It may also mean the US decides at some point that his Bitcoin should be seized due to that criminal history.

How does John know he is getting Bitcoin with only a clean history?

To be honest, once a person next to them cough.

All these millionaires will immediately realize that the vaccine that is 99.999% is still not worth their kids' lives. No matter how low known risk is, it's not worth it.

Cough and whisper "why can't I taste anything?"

Then, everyone will get to work from home.

Nobody will get an advantage of being at the office.

Keep coughing.
> Somebody is at the bottom of the rabbit hole, and they are not using Java.

They're not using C or Rust either, they're writing some kind of machine-specific stub, probably in that machine's assembly language. Yes, a tiny minority of programmers do occasionally have to write the bit-banging stuff that connects hardware to a general-purpose programming language. But that's not a problem that having a different kind of general-purpose programming language helps with.
"Unlimited" vacation time is so bizarre to me, it almost seems like a scam to me. Obviously it's not legally binding, otherwise a malicious employee could not work a single day and legally not face repercussions.

But in Germany at least, vacation days are a matter of law. The number of days per year is part of the contract, and there is a strict minimum of 24 days (at least in Bavaria). It is as far as I know not legal to prevent people from exhausting their allocated vacation days within the full year, a couple of years ago a court decided that employers have to remind employees when they risk expiring their vacation days after a year.

So I guess anyone who has "unlimited" vacation time does not actually have unlimited vacation time, but the opposite: The legal minimum of mandated vacation time, with the option to get additional time on top if the employer agrees. Effectively, any person who even just has one day more than the legal minimum, but fixed, has more right to take time off than someone with "unlimited" vacation!
I guess I see what you mean. I am more concerned with creating an equivalence when I see Replit's response as being much worse.

I unreservedly agree that Steve should have compensated these engineers for their work, even if only for the selfish reason of encouraging its engineers to push boundaries of engineering, and to slow the rate of engineers leaving.

But on the same token these engineers should have known that as full time employees, work they did during "outside hours" belonged to their employer. And I think that's fair, since that work relied upon knowledge and materials acquired through their employer. Not to mention access to people like Bud Tribble whenever you need it!

The moral of the story is that if you want to engage in skunkworks and you think you should be rewarded for its outcomes, talk to your manager ahead of time (in abstract terms, if necessary) about potential bounties or bonuses for doing such work. If you don't set any expectations ahead of time, expect nothing.

Why should past luck in getting wealthy be some kind of reward for that wealth propagating generationally? Keep in mind that for a long time, if left to their own “merits” generational wealth would evaporate after a few generations. To do it properly requires great care in creating the right structures and insulating the wealth itself from being mismanaged by family members.

All this is to say that the broader public seems to be more efficiently entrepreneurially (in terms of creating new wealth) than what is achieved by hereditary wealth. Hereditary wealth transfer already has a huge leg up through social and educational networks and educational “legacy” that backstopping through actual wealth transfer on top of that doesn’t seem great for society as a whole.

On the other hand, if you have some data to indicate that children of entrepreneurs are better capable at starting new businesses than the general public I’m certainly interested to see that. My understanding above is a synthesis from studies I’ve come across and the general concept of reversion to the mean (eg the most unique individuals in any field/specialty you could name generally pop up spontaneously in the general population rather than consistently being overrepresented in a lineage). This makes sense for the survival of the species too- you want diversity so that you don’t overfit a given ecosystem and become hypersensitive to those conditions remaining true.

> But the solution here is obvious; stop using oil.

Sure, but will we see rail transportation of oil blocked in a similar manner? Otherwise we might just be making our current uses of oil less safe and efficient for nothing.

I think this needs to be achieved some other way, like through carbon taxes, not by blocking pipelines.

15 year NYC resident, spend many long weekends going down fo FL in summer.

In NYC it may be a little cooler, but your exposure to the elements is constant. You walk to the train, lunch, coffee, dinner, groceries, etc out on the sweaty sidewalk.

When it's 90F, the train station might be 100F and train at best 80F though often much higher.

You can live in a $2-3 million apartment yet have a lobby not be air conditioned, nor the hallways or elevator. No one has pools. You can go down to the park by the rivers, but you aren't going in for a swim. All the concrete & asphalt absorb and radiate the heat.

I'd go down to FL in summer since if it's going to be 90F+ and humid, I'd rather be able to jump in the ocean or a pool.

That hasn't been my experience at all. Maybe 5% of the time there's actually a reason that makes sense. 95% of the time it's a case of we've always done it that way, one guy tried doing it a different way 20 years ago and it didn't work then so now we know better than to try different things.

SciHub is just one instance of the broader problem, which is that governments - even ostensibly democratic ones - don't actually operate in the best interests of the governed.

Which, I think, shouldn't be surprising when our "representatives" ostensibly speak for hundreds of thousands (and sometimes, millions) of people each. True democracy requires a much shorter and more direct chain of responsibility.
Ask HN: Large customer wants us to deploy SaaS on their own K8s?
Our product is a suite of hardware and software for energy saving thermostat control in commercial buildings. With most of our customers, we either connect the hardware to our cloud, or deploy our own bare metal inside the building with our own k8s which we have access to.

Recently we've been working with this large customer that operates 3000+ shops across the country, and they vehemently oppose both the cloud and our own bare metal. They offer their own VM servers and a very old k8s (1.14) which we won't have access to. There is a web interface through some cryptic UI that only works on a laptop they provide. It doesn't support YAML upload so we have to click our way through tens of services, stateful sets, ingresses and such, I guess, to leave an audit trail. It's been very frustrating. Of course, they will still hold us to the SLA in case something breaks, but it will take us much more time to debug everything through this UI on an outdated k8s...

How often do you see something like this? Any workaround besides not working with the customer?

I built a house a couple of years ago for two times annual income. I was responsible. I work in tech, yes, but I didn't buy my house to flip it. I bought it because I have a wife and two kids and I want my kids to live in a nice neighborhood and, overall, have a good growing-up experience. I found that here. I'm not a NIMBY; I haven't attended a single city council or planning board meeting since moving here. I take good care of my property, working the soil with my own two hands, even. I love where I live and my neighbors do, too. We get along (imagine that).

Many years ago I lived in New York City, young and single, in a tiny apartment in a crappy, dirty apartment building. I wouldn't trade what I have now for that life no matter how good you say it will be. I've lived both sides--growing up in a small dairy town, moving to Manhattan, then moving on and seeking a better life in small town America.

There is no need to be so hateful and bitter. There are many, many people who are not in it for greed. You just don't hear them getting loud on Hacker News because they are too busy raising families and working jobs like most of us. Try and have some empathy.

>Its now all about "How does this project help me and make my life convenient as a developer" rather than "How does this project help software users like me"

I don't think this is a new thing, or something that is necessarily correlated. I've seen plenty of old open source projects that are totally obtuse and obscure to everyone but the developer -- having that attitude is not mutually exclusive with being a FOSS enthusiast. Probably more people are developing this stuff for money now, but that's a different thing from the "selling out" you were talking about.

Github didn't change much here if you ask me, in the old days it was Sourceforge, and you can still find a lot of those obscure projects still hosted there.
Did you look at the file? Yes, comparatively using a non-declarative approach would render much simpler code. Perhaps the author is not writing SwiftUI proficiently? Having used SwiftUI myself I would argue that this is not the case.
Nah, it’s radically different.

No browser disables JavaScript by default, and disabling it is never a first-class feature: you have to manually figure out when it’s broken things and decide what to do with it.

Meanwhile, there are comparatively major webmail and desktop clients that disable remote image loading by default (e.g. Fastmail’s webmail and I think Thunderbird on the desktop), and all significant clients at least support disabling loading remote images. And in such cases, if any remote image is blocked, the client will put a “remote images blocked” banner with a button to load remote images. This is a first-class feature of email clients.
