Agreed the time zones are killer.

If I start another company I’d really like to hire a competent offshore team in south or Central America but I have a lot of trouble getting there from here. If I wanted to hire a team in Israel, Pakistan or India, I could do it immediately, because I have trusted friends who can hook me up with people that they themselves trust plus or minus some skeeviness that I know how to manage. For south-of-us I have no connections and basically no way to start.

As I said in another part of the thread: For many of these conspiracy theories the 'understanding' part should probably be more along the lines of epistemic forensics - "What kind of misinformation got them to this point?"
regardless of the specifics here, stuff like this is liable to pop up a lot in the coming several years while NixOS is gaining more popularity but casual (as in "not willing to put in the effort of supporting off-beat distributions") OSS authors can still reasonably ignore it. the amount of patching that Nixpkgs packagers have to do sometimes is pretty extreme
Will it happen though? Hiring someone from a foreign country is easy for a temporary contract, but in industry we need to "own the code" and continue to maintain it.

Ultimately outsourcing has issues with accountability.
The convention in Canada was there were limits on how much customer PII banks and the payment networks could collect, use, and share or sell, and how. "Monetize," in my comment means "sell to others like a social platform / ad-tech company," whereas I would agree it could be monetized in other ways.

What I see is that Stripe doing IAM for platforms and services that people use daily sets them up to dominate retail and small business banking services if they wanted to go there.

Nobody who is dumb enough to let such a thing come into existence in the first place winds up with a career arc that takes them through a position of substantial authority at the federal level.

Politicians may be evil but they're not dumb.
Right. People in English-speaking countries observe Sun Day, Moon Day, Tiw's Day, Odin's Day, Thor's Day, Freyja's Day, and Saturn's Day every single week.

That doesn't make them Germanic (or Roman) pagans. Ask the average person about Thor and you'll probably get something based on the comic book character. Ask him about Tiw and you're gonna get a blank look.
This is a subdependency of a larger project (homeassistant) so doing so would involve nix maintaining an entirely separate fork of homeassistant, which is a completely unviable ask.

The author's conduct in that thread is certainly not what I'd call "acting as the bigger person".

If they were serious about their request they'd be looking into having the homeassistant guys removing it, or PRing to homeassistant. Or changing the license to make it closed source.
Those are just 4 principles- there are dozens more where those came from. As Marshall McLuhan used to say, "You don’t like those ideas? I got others."

Everybody with ideological passions feels like their enemies always flag them off HN's front page and dominate HN in every other way too. This is not an accurate perception—it's produced by your passions. I don't mean that you're imagining the datapoints you see, but rather that you're filtering out the ones you don't see. Since there are more than enough datapoints to supply any perception, this creates von Neumann elephants (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...) and false feelings of generality (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

In your case the passions are clear from how you swoop in with guns blazing—"cabal of intersectionalists" and so on. The people with opposite passions—your enemies—are just as shocked and dismayed by what they imagine, which is that you dominate HN. I can give you endless examples, but if you're able to make do with a few dozen, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870. The striking thing, to the rest of us, is how closely you and your enemies resemble each other. The comments and rhetoric are isomorphic—they just have the sign bit flipped.

During the Stallman saga of a couple months ago, we were getting all sorts of "why are RMS stories all being flagged off the front page" (note that word all) in comments and emails, even after 30+ major threads about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26713636. Similarly, during the George Floyd aftermath of a year ago, people were saying "any mention gets aggressively removed from discussion" (note that word any), even though it was the single most-discussed topic on HN by a long shot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23624916. As I said at the time, when you're 10x bigger than Rust on HN, and someone calls that "aggressively removed from discussion", we seem to have left behind shared reality.

That is why I say that these perceptions are (a) inaccurate; (b) produced by political passions; and (c) isomorphic under ideological flippage.

The bias here is probably that you notice what you dislike and elide the rest (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). If you felt differently, you'd notice a different set of stories getting flagged and overlook different ones remaining on the front page. The filters are in you. By "you" I don't mean you personally, of course. We all do this.

There's a serious discussion to be had about how flagging actually works on HN, and I've posted many answers about that too, but when the "question" is so ideologically driven, my experience is that it doesn't help much. For anyone who's interested, you can find some of the past explanations here:

We sometimes turn off flags when an article can support substantive discussion: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

For common topics, significant new information is generally needed: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

To add to it, even the Christmas tree doesn't originate from Christianity. It was just adapted from a pagan tradition. The Santa Claus image was created by commercialism. The original saint Claus is celebrating on December 6 (or 7, don't remeber exactly) and that was a priest that anonymously was donating toys to children in orphanages and later was discovered.

Easter Bunny is another commercialisation of a Christian holiday, which has nothing to do with rabbits. It is a day, where Christians celebrate Jesus raising from grave after being crucified.
What's the routine :)
His project has zero issues created. It's a pretty small and simple library.

Why would users report to his project when installing Home Assistant? That's not usually how it works and Home Assistant has a lot of other dependencies.
What's amazing about it? Perhaps they are trying a lot harder.
The dev deserved to be treated kindly, by default.

But by being unkind himself, he surrendered that privilege.

So now he won't and shouldn't get what he asked for.

I don't understand how an adult human could fail to understand this.

Asking a favor while simultaneously being a jerk is not likely to work.
I would refer to the subject of this website as the history of writing systems, which is an established field of linguistics alongside etymology.

Yes, there is a risk that data here might be wrong, though maybe not so much from this website because of the author’s limited concerns. (The author himself has always been upfront about being an amateur enthusiast in this domain.) But my comments were meant very generally: wherever one reads about Chinese etymology, be aware that the claims may be out of date and superseded by new research, because the field has been so productive since the 1990s.
This is not dumb. This is how you kickstart a network and trust.
I still use the basic HTML version, it works fine and does all the things I need a mail client to do (except a "select all" button, which I've added with a short userscript: http://ix.io/3pXu/js)
You’re stopping the Mendel’s and the Tuskegees.

Tuskegee wasn’t an experiment in “we don’t know if this drug works” it was explicitly intended to study the progression of syphilis - they weren’t withholding drugs because they didn’t know if they worked, they were withholding them because black people weren’t human to them.

ERBs and the FDA both exist to protect people from becoming victims.
Interesting and congratulations for launching! :)

ON a side note the bags look ugly, I was expecting them to be resized and appearing as held by hands. Instead I got this:

PS: I really like the wrinkling on clothes.
This is straightforward reporting. Are CNNs many headlines quoting Trump, Republicans or right-leaning judges examples of right-wing bias? Are news outlets not allow to accurately describe a conspiracy theory as baseless? To do otherwise is to implicitly give credence to it. Reporting is not mindless stenography.
Conservatism is a relative term. You can be a conservative right-winger, a conservative socialist, a conservative liberal or any other kind of conservative as long as your social situation fits it. Many articles by the Economist are conservative in that they intend to defend and conserve the status-quo, especially when dealing with foreign policy.
Great, now I have to watch it to see if you're joking about the baby pooping part.
I mean, sure, but why are we talking about Fox specifically? CNN, MSNBC, etc. are just as bad. I find this ironic since this thread is about how bias isn't necessarily about outright falsehoods, but story selection and what is not said :)
Yeah I really wouldn't want to use anything that dynamically pulls a package from PyPI at runtime, because I don't trust this guy not to add a vulnerability to the code at a later point in time.
Those links show that out of all Americans who vote in presidential elections, well above 90% vote for either a Democrat or a Republican. However, that does not mean that well above 90% of Americans are either Democrats or Republicans.
it’s a data black hole. just wait a few years.
And yet, those companies seem to be more successful than others with "more relevant" bars.
The most helpful recommendation you could give it would be to tell us whether or not after watching it you did what you were supposed to be doing when you were watching dozens of videos on procrastination?
Edit (sorry, I don't think I can edit my own comment at this point): I think I was missing the point. Storing user data for 3 years after verification seems unnecessary for the user. So yes, it does sound like some data-mongering f*ckery is going to happen/is happening.

RT is similar.

Last week in English news it headlined an anti masker/antivax March in London which the BBC didn't mention at all.

Attacking the center is always the craziest narrative to me. It's saying: not only is it not okay to disagree with me and be on the other side, it's also not okay to not passionately agree with my exact side. The only right way to view these complex issues is to sign your name to join my party and then hold the party line, and everything else is unethical. I can't imagine a more obnoxious political viewpoint than that.

That enlightened centrism subreddit listed below is up there with the most toxic sub reddits I've seen on reddit where people "dunk" on the idea that anyone would be so brave to have the gall not to conform precisely with progressive rhetoric on anything. It somehow seems like some of these people are more offended with the center than the other side.

Anyway yeah, I'm a centrist and it's not because I'm trying to be neutral, it's because both sides are terrifying cesspools the further you get to their extremes and the best outcome for partisan politics is to give either of those groups as little power as possible. It's not some abstract goal of evenly seeing both sides on the issues.
The project is barely a week old so that might explain the lack of issues. Also Homeassistant is a big project with a big community, there are going to be a lot of people getting into edge cases. The Homeassistant project does do a lot of damage control on this because they promote standardised deployments like the Home Assistant OS. But I can't image why a NixOS repackage would add a lot more issues the author doesn't want to deal with.
The faster startup time is one reason I've thought that clojurescript on Node (shadow-cljs makes this really easy) could become more popular than Clojure Classic.
Ooh another one. I've completely lost track of them at this point.
I don't think GP was saying that anyone is obligated to provide support, just that receiving support requests is intrinsically part of publishing software as source. The only way to avoid receiving requests is to abstain.
Anti-office people are very vocal on here. I don't think it's representative; most of the people I know in real life want their office back. I didn't know how much I wanted to be around people all day until it was taken away.
I think we agree. Understanding why something was rationalized is important (slavery, the holocaust, etc). But being able to make an impassioned argument for those things isn't necessary for that kind of understanding.
That might not be an accurate way to measure it, because "bankruptcy" can mean very different things by country.

In some countries, individuals often don't qualify for bankruptcy. In others you might be able to restructure your debts, but they might not be discharged. In some, you may need to give up significant possessions to pay for your debts.

The US, for all of its healthcare issues, actually has a relatively progressive and accessible bankruptcy system. The majority of people in the US who file Chapter 7 have all of their assets exempted from liquidation by law. For these people, bankruptcy is literally as simple as a matter of trading all of their debt for 10 years of a bad mark on their credit report.
I think this is a cautionary tale about using social media while in a bad mood.

Considering how unreasonable he was in that thread, I'm assuming he was just in a bad mood or something like that. Except now he's on the front page of HN with tons of comments criticizing him and painting him as a bad person.

99.999% of people will probably forget this by tomorrow, but it still would suck to be on the receiving end of this kind of attention I think.
You don't have to fork, you can just use that release. You just can't use any subsequent releases, but neither can HA.
There is a lot involved, but the basic idea is that your rifle and sight need to be calibrated to match from where you’re shooting to where you’re shooting. The journey to the sniper hides was long, arduous, grueling, and not exactly guaranteed to be hassle free. You might be stumbling over miles of dirt with stray wires, holes, dead bodies, broken equipment, rubble, and so on, at night, in pitch black. Then wandering through narrow trenches packed with people going both ways, again with dead bodies, stray wires, holes, and broken kit. There is a non zero chance that the scope you sighted in yesterday could get tapped or knocked, and it will be out of alignment by the time your arrive at your hide.

The use of debris was a simple way to sight in. You tell your spotter that you’re gonna shoot that tin can just by the sandbag over there. They tell you where you’re hitting so you can adjust your sights. Naive snipers would fall for this trick, but later on experience taught to use puddles instead.
Any estimates of when this will be available for Brazil?

This sounds like NixOS is not ready to handle this scenario and they are bulldozing the issue to get it included.
I went to visit a friend's parents a few years ago in Calabria. They don't have running water after 8pm, houses have home-made water tanks that they fill during the day that they use to supply water after that time. Bear in mind that this wasn't the countryside, it was in a reasonably sized city.

Walking around the neighborhood I noticed that there were no wifi networks at all.

The roads hadn't been resurfaced since the 1970s according to the locals and I totally believe them.

There's a reason Italians call it Calafrica. It definitely doesn't feel like western Europe.
The only world without a bias might be one where everyone is a clone and has the same bank balance.

In the real world, there will always be bias. Height, voice, gender, political affiliations. Forget about bias in US media, there are multiple Hollywood within India itself. And there is nothing wrong with that. They cater to different audiences.

And it does not “make sense” for to expect a group of Tamil film makers to add a couple white, black, Chinese, and Latin American characters of their movie is about people who speak Tamil.

Under the Vienna Conventions, only people with diplomatic rank have full diplomatic immunity. Administrative and technical agents do have diplomatic immunity, but only for actions taken "in the course of their duties."

But it wouldn't matter: documents and archives of the state are inviolable no matter where they are. And the property of a diplomatic mission must remain free of search and seizure.

Excellent job not understanding what the opposite side believes and why.
What if you just looked at it as a cost for employee satisfaction? If I ask my boss for a license to try a new tool, or something to make my workflow better, it's a win for the company if it works out. If it doesn't work out, it's a win for my morale, because I don't have a skinflint of a boss.

When a manager evaluates what is "essential", it creates a dynamic where they either agree with me (which wastes both our time), or they disagree (which creates conflict). For $10/year, it's better to avoid the conflict and just buy the stupid tool that makes the ICs life better.
> It applies not just to access to information on the device, but information "which can be accessed by the use of that computer"

So... basically the entire internet, then?
People lie. I'm not sure why you expect the media to sell to people's lies instead of selling to people's actions.

PS Americans also overwhelmingly vote either Democrat or Republican in non-presidential elections, even down to the city council level.
Also they offered various options to appease the author including code forking and the author rejected them all. Basically the team exhausted all of their options to make this author happy but the author seem not to understand the reality of FOSS. This author shouldn't be in the FOSS if the author is going to roadblock every options despite his licensing explicitly allows including the codes.
Ah, thanks. Yeah, makes sense. I still don't get how everyone jumped to the conclusion that he was cheating before, though. Is there something so utterly impossible about the situation that make it obvious? Do grandmasters never lose games to non-GM players even when playing multiple people for fun?
Lots of people are spending less than a quarter of their income on those expenses. So it's pretty easy to quit and use their savings on it for multiple years.

Are you by any chance a Firefox user and you have auto-correct enabled?

I'm guessing that because of "casserole", which is what Firefox corrects to if you accidentally double the 's' in 'caselaw'. Chrome goes for "casual", and Safari goes for "caselaw".
This exact event happened at both Cisco and Juniper when they got rid of free drinks. Multiple times.
the term "moderator" clearly suggests that they are there to moderate the conversation. otherwise they would be called "leaders."
If you have no practical knowledge of ML, you have no way of knowing it will confer any benefit. I've seen so much time by people trying to use ML for what they imagine it does instead of what it does.

Anyway, if you know python, try Pytorch Lightning Flash. It is simple to use and the tasks they have as part of it will give you a sense of what kinds of things ML does.
NixOS doesn’t work like that apparently. The point is to be reproducible.

Honestly sounds like they just cannot have his project or anything that depends on it.

Luckily that ambee code looks trivial to duplicate.
It seems to me he states pretty clearly that his issue is the support burden, not some paternalism over users:

> If users experiencing issues with the ambee library in this package, they will knock on my door. And I'm not willing to support that or accept that burden. Especially as I don't see a good repacking reason in this case.

I absolutely agree that there is a legitimate reason to say "look, I can't handle the support burden from this", but users aren't going to track down the original project to make support requests if you fork it, rename it and point everything to the new one.

(Obviously you might get one or two, but anyone that motivated would probably be making their own package and run into the exact same issue anyway, at some point you can't really blame the package).

So there's at least some demand for a key that works like a Yubikey but has a breakable form (that presumably sets off a piezo device that scrambles the key). Keep it in your pocket, break it with your hand, or slam your hip into a wall/floor to break. Make sure to take the key out before you sit down!

Or, once they exist, just carry a broken key with you for plausible deniability?
Can you perform the same model/garment fit with an uploaded model image? If so this would be revolutionary in reducing returns of online garment shopping. To see how a garment stretches when put on consumer's body type would be very beneficial. Ideally this would be done in real time but even a minute's wait to see how the item will look on you might be acceptable for consumers if it means less disappointment when you try on the item physically at home and elimination of a return.
