If he lives in Germany, and they mistakenly changed his location to Malaysia, I understand his complaint. But, you can't just say "I want you to treat me as though I lived in a different country than I do, because I prefer their laws on this particular subject".

Granted, I wish Google's approach to privacy was better all around, but given that they want to gobble up as much data as possible, and we all know about that by now, I am not as confused by their approach here as I am by the author's reaction.

No, democracy is the form of government in which the people (directly or indirectly) rules itself. I.e. ideally, everyone has the same amount of influence on the country's governance.

Kinda but kinda not? If you're an american citizen and for some reason go spend 6 months or a year in Malaysia, you probably don't want your accounts to be switched over to Malaysia, and possibly Malaysian, a language you probably do not speak.
The IEP seems like the best option and a good one. The E-2 would require investments by you and/or other Bangladesh citizens into the US company and then expenditures by the US company. Based on the information provided, I would put the O-1 odds at less than 50%.
Also don't forget the really interesting Transmeta processors, also ultimately a failure. VLIW is very difficult in practice.
Ok cool, for others reading I found it:

Substantial Investment is $250K of funding or $100K of grants (Just YC funding would not be enough to qualify on funding)

The qualified investor must be a US person or entity who regularly makes this type of investment, has invested $600K in the past 5 years, and their investments have created 5 qualified jobs in the US. So it looks like most VCs and some larger angels would qualify.

It's not clear to me how SF, the richest city in the country with the lowest percentage of children, and that charges an income tax on residents, doesn't have hands down the best public schools in the country.
This already happens. At least here in Brazil, offices have security cameras in pretty much every environment, except the restrooms.

An office is a shared environment, usually not owned by the people who work there, that exists only for job related activities. Just like companies can monitor your company issued email, network traffic and cell phone, they can monitor your activities in the workspace.

I'm a privacy advocate, I avoid Google and Facebook as much as I can, but even I understand the difference between private and professional life. One has an assumption of privacy, the other doesn't.
Since others may be curious, here is the discussion on those specific config changes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22830330
Regardless, google might have to follow privacy laws of countries even if you set foot there for a layover or for only a few hours - google itself isn’t a country and thus other countries can effectively bully them into doing anything if Google wants to stay in business there. Not a problem for random island nations that have few citizens, but you can bet any sizable nation blacklisting them could mean an appreciable loss in revenue (and maybe triggering other countries to make similar demands).
He's not joking though, they really say that in the PDF linked below. "Steam navigation brings nearer together the most distant nations. ... their theory is very little understood, and the attempts to improve them are stil l directed almost by chance. ...We propose now to submit these questions to a deliberate examination. -Sadi Carnot, commenting on the need for a theory of deep learning"

It's probably a typo, it'll get corrected. It should probably say "a theory of thermodynamics" or something similar instead of deep learning.

Do you really think that for 5000 years, throughout which physical punishment was the norm, nobody was "alright"? And that only in the last 50 years of human existence have we started to realize how to raise children "correctly"?

We can ignore the swiftly rising depression rates among children for the sake of the argument.

"I'm not a medical doctor, but here is a bunch of medical advice that should be used to prosecute this defendant." It doesn't sound that great either way. Either you have the expertise to make such judgments, or you don't, and shouldn't try to pass off legal opinions you can't legally make with a disclaimer, as if that absolves everything. I can fully understand someone getting irritated at this and trying to go one step further.
I wasn't talking about or looking for "a truly free speech social network". My point is that someone made a wild baseless claim that "TikTok ended censorship" without any evidence supplied to back this claim and it was debunked immediately WITH strong counter evidence.

> If you want a truly free speech social network, consider using Gab or 4chan. Oh wait, many potential users would find the content there distasteful.

A 'true' 'free speech social network' also allows illegal content to be uploaded on there. Gab and 4chan censor content that is deemed illegal; thus they don't qualify for this.

I've tried both Twitter, and Gab and deleted both of my accounts there since the not only the content there was very distasteful, but they are both poor on protecting your privacy.

Disinformation and misleading content is still spreading around on their platforms and to some extent, it seems that Twitter doesn't censor some content that is actually illegal. [0] They seem to think that their community rules are above the law.

Theoretically there will be a point (if not already) where its govt employees and contractors vs private citizens not tied into the system in a monetary way.

If you work for the govt in one way or another and your salary depends on it, or you're getting a handout, you're more likely to vote in a way that supports big government, programs, and the political body that enabled it.

A natural mechanism of taxing more, printing more, and handing that money to payrolls, contractors, and handout recipients who vote for it is a persistent trend and probably a systemic risk for a functioning private sector. And we see this in countries like Russia for instance where working for the govt means you have, while being a private citizen with no ties means you're most likely a have not.
SIMD instuctions were available to JVM already by Java 1.0 (Java 1.0 and VIS instructions in UltraSPARC both came in 1995). So if this Panama stuff comes next year, they got around to it in 27 years. I predict we'll have autovectorization in another 27 years in 2048.
no idea why this isn’t more popular.
It seems to me as if some OP/commenters fail to realise that not everyone uses browsers the same way, in turn making assumptions that things make no sense on that basis, e.g tabs as history va tabs as actively used documents, vertical tabs saving space when fullscreen-ish but not with side by side windows, or having multiple windows each with a few tabs vs a single window with hundreds, single display vs multihead, browser as quasi-OS vs browser as web browser (!) with OS as OS and native apps, laptop vs desktop, or anything in between or beyond that I could not think of right now.

Personally I'm glad Safari isn't yet another Chrome-like UI. I did not upgrade to the beta, but it seems to me the choices made would make sense for the way I use a browser on a laptop or desktop.

It just feels like another flamewar, which I can safely ignore while I continue enjoying my daily driver browser.
> Add enough, and the OS could easily pin basically all processes/threads to their own cores.

But usually (when you care about performance) you don't have 20 processes requiring 5% CPU load each, but 1-2 processes requiring everything. Making those slower won't accomplish much.

And if your problem is actually embarrassingly parallel [0], you are looking to run your code on a GPU (as another commenter notes).

It really depends on what you would be doing since most people need the O-1 to work so that alone can't be the basis to expedite. I've seen expedite requests for teachers and government workers get approved as well as those involved in vaccine development and COVID treatment. But the vast majority of expedite requests are denied unfortunately.
A law passed at any given time has at most something like 30% of the citizens' voices behind it (by virtue of voting participation). But cycle after cycle, who is in that 30% changes as people enter or exit the voting community. We don't make a habit of revisiting a law to vote on it again very often and when we do, it's often decades later.

All that's to say that any given law was decided by a fraction of the population some time ago -> meaning it's a continuously decreasing fraction of population that was represented in this or that law.

This realization is why I have very little buy-in into any modern governance. Either I get an equal vote on all existing rules the moment I become a citizen or your government is just tyranny by another name.
You mean because of inflation? That wouldn't explain why the % part of the fee is increasing.

One would hope that after such a disaster, and given the pros of the underlying technology, more funding and research would be focused on safety, rather than abandoning it.

I wonder to which degree has nuclear power's association with nuclear weapons affected its public perception.
It's a point that's made all the damn time. It originated from Koch foundations where they were trying to land upon some talking points which could be used to chip away at the EPC - as part of their long standing war with the institution that impeded their ability to pollute with impunity.

The useful thing about the talking point is that it gives full license to the politician about what to cut if they implement it. If what you really want to cut is the EPC and medicare, well, that's what people are clamoring for. Apparently.
Payment processing is hardly a monopoly. As others have mentioned square and stripe are both viable alternatives.

Balut is fine if eaten right. Only in Vietnam and Cambodia you can have decent balut with pickled papaya salad and tasty leaves. Or deep fried. Philippines and Thailand like it with just spicy vinegar and hot sauce respectively.
You mean the two-party system where citizens can pick from TWO candidates selected by the DNC/RNC because the candidate toes the line and doesn't spook the big money interests... and no other candidate can compete?

And then once they're in office they can gerrymander their districts and essentially secure their position forever.

Is it really the citizen's fault?

My favorite part about your comment is how optimistic you are that a citizens vote actually matters.
This speculation is 100% wrong. I checked for this app after seeing this and had it listed under updates available (it was installed already)

So I decided to check if I was in fact opted in and I was not opted in. Everything was off and this app was still installed without my consent. I do have automatic UPDATES turned on, but that shouldn't tell Google to just push whatever they want to me. You should probably edit your post saying your speculation is wrong.

I don't know what kind of proof you want, but I 100% never opted in.

Sounds good at first, but it's actually deeply anti-democratic: You're giving people more influence on the state depending on their income and wealth. That's like wealth-based suffrage.
I wonder why you're being downvoted. Sometimes HN is funny. I'm not a libertarian, but it seems like one of the things people criticize (and often make fun of) them for is consistently wanting smaller government. So, with certain marginal exceptions, your statement is essentially true, and I think it's worth pointing out in this case.
> I think we need to take a much more nonjudgmental view of the human family

Dunno; how many of us agree what makes a good family? "Is everyone there happier and healthier than they would be elsewhere?" would be my question, but a lot of people seem to assume a good family is one that looks like those portrayed on TV.

As for animals; I can speak firsthand of dog packs where junior males have a lot to do with caring for the young, especially the "raise the teenagers" stage. The females of that age tend to stand on dignity and want nothing to do with pups, but the males are willing to be chew toys.

How to Prevent Hackers from Getting into Your Facebook Account
it was neither desponic nor paranoid. Paranoia is an irrational or delusional bout of fear. Thinking the cleaning crew in front of your house is secret agents trying to kidnap you is paranoia, taking measures against a pandemic is not, because the pandemic is real and deadly. In the same vein, despotism is the tyrannical and arbitrary exercise of power, not merely the exercise of power towards legitimate ends.

In fact if anyone is paranoid then it is the public every time the issue of governance and technology converge, because in particular in the US there exists a phobia both to technology as well as government.
Funny, I've never played a game of Risk where a player got wiped out well before the end of the game – probably because I usually played with only 3~4 players. I could imagine with 4+ this would be a more useful strategy.
Since you are on Skype for Business I'm going to assume you are not using Teams currently. Teams is actually a lot worse in almost every way than SfB when it comes to the functions both systems share.

> While Skype is an unmitigated disaster that can’t do simple stuff like copying text

Do you mean from shared contents or from the chat? The latter works for me, but since you also mention using Citrix Workspace, which sounds like a remote desktop/application tool, it seems likely to me that this is actually the fault of Citrix, not Skype. Remote clipboards seem to be rather unreliable, I'm using DCV 2017 and the clipboard breaks basically every five minutes, necessitating a reconnect.
The problem is that PoC is extracting data which the PoC itself created specifically to facilitate said extraction. AFAIK no one has created a PoC which can extract specific data which hasn't been constructed to facilitate the PoC.
I like your explanation, but it seems you're arguing in favor of reading "The American Truth", since it will give you both perspectives if you're currently only reading blue-supremacist newspapers?

And you'll be fine as long as you recognize the biases on both sides and verify claims.
The article's title is misleading. NC does not forbid him to talk engineering. He can write blog posts, yell at the corners, print books. What it does not allow him is to testify as a witness in a court presenting himself as an engineering expert. While I agree this distinction (being licensed) is stupid, the court is within its right to impose it. Spinning this case as some sort free speech supression is just bad jourlalism.

Calling methods via strings where you control all the source code to your own application is pretty toxic.

Since there are no network or persistence boundaries - it's a local app the developer owns 100% of - there are no engineering constraints that require the kind of decoupling of an event bus.

The execution boundary thing ("post messages to other threads") is also pretty dumb. There are a dozen simpler ways to coordinate between a UI and background / business logic thread. Since most application's long-running behavior is only HTTP calls, today's developer doesn't have to think about it at all - the callback or promise (CompleteableFuture) returned by their URL fetcher forces them to do the right thing.

RxJava is almost always the better choice to be more expressive about UIs. Otherwise, an Android developer should adopt Kotlin for coroutines. Or, frankly, reduce timeouts for HTTP calls to be closer to frame rendering times (16-32ms), pay the extra pennies to serve networked services better, and focus on low-latency remote APIs.

Maricopa County is the place that had the sheriff that was found guilty of criminal contempt for ignoring federal orders. I’m not sure if those sorts of attitudes exist there that I’d be too interested.
