That only tells the person who owns the comment that you appreciate it, with comment scores you're correct that almost all "I like this" comments are wrong, without comment scores then they become useful again.
What you posted is not an "argument", just flamewar, and you've broken probably most of the site guidelines in just this thread alone. Please don't create accounts to do that with.

Plenty of users have posted substantive comments on both sides of this issue. The idea that "HN" is out to get you because of your views is puerile when you're violating the rules so flagrantly.

I personally found that calling this indecent is really pushing it. Maybe because it presented some light erotic ideas in an unexpected medium (a young girls stream of consciousness).

The impact also depends on the direction from which one approaches the painting.

If you enter from the room to the right hand side of the Night Watch it's almost easy to miss, not least because the ship models in the rooms that precede it are quite impressive, too.

From the Great Hall and the Eregalerij (Gallery of Honour) the effect is positively awe-inspiring. I've once heard someone describe the Rijksmuseum as a cathedral of Enlightenment. The Night Watch is the centrepiece that cathedral was built around.

Google also has a problem with its news.google.com when they get their news from certain sources. Snoopes headlines are shortened and put up as if they were true. This resulted into some really vile headlines.

If I use my work laptop at home, I even put it in a separate guest WiFi. Since the introduction of an Endpoint Management system it essentially became an untrusted device.
Work laptop + personal iPad seems reasonable if you are in the Apple ecosystem.
I think the main technically interesting thing is that it adds custom functionality to cheap, mass-produced hardware. If you wanted to build a clock completely from scratch, it would be a significant amount of work to design something that works as well as a $10 wall clock from Walmart. If you just figure out the right way to interface with that hardware, you can do interesting stuff a lot more easily.

It's a little bit reminiscent of how people figured out that you could use cheap USB TV tuners as software-defined radios, although obviously this project is a lot simpler than that.
What do I expect people to do? Not drag people behind a truck over a car part. What, you think that’s reasonable? Or is it just the shooting that you don’t find to be over the top?
Their claim that the shares were below market value doesn't stack up. They did this when they founded the company, the company has no value at formation so it's fair priced. Just because they raised money a few months later doesn't mean it was worth anything at formation.
However, we are not discussing what's more or less convenient, but what can you do and what are you forced to do. Big difference.

Bad title. The ship is held by the local autorities in a tangled (legal?) matter.

Thread title comes from the sensationalized/metaphorical use of stuck in the subtitle
More than avoiding keeping the personal stuff on the work laptop, avoid keeping work stuff on personal hardware. When you're off work, you're off work. No email, no notifications, no nothing.

The only work thing I have on my personal phone is Slack, and that's with auto-DND outside work hours. If there's an emergency, you can call me.
Is it, though? I genuinely don’t think so. Performance stuff like this is usually documented via your HR stuff, the PIP etc.

“This guy was browsing incel forums from this time to this time”

Which court in what land uses that information?

Fine. I’m not a lawyer, but I’ll tell you this. If some rando IT dude is going through folks’ computers after they quit and I find out, I am quitting your company and telling everyone. I have never done that to anyone reporting to me and no company has ever done that to me. I can’t believe you’d accept these work conditions. Wild.
My friend uses one computer for both personal and business but he owns the company. I’ve always wondered if that was prudent, perhaps separate accounts at least?

Do we count posting on HN as personal stuff?
Facebook never allowed porn or even artistic nudes. YouTube only sometimes allows nudity/sex. Twitter and YouTube started scrubbing media drops from ISIS and other violent Islamist groups before Trump even had the nomination. They did so after bipartisan calls for social media to deplatform terrorist propaganda.

Reddit also cracked down on Syrian civil war media around this time. The videos were often gruesome propaganda and evidence of war crimes at the same time.

The reason people called on social media to remove this material instead of making it a job for law enforcement is that First Amendment protections are very broad. Praising ISIS or sharing "inspirational" videos of them killing government soldiers is not a crime if it doesn't also call for imminent lawless action. But few Americans of any political affiliation want such material to spread freely online, so it has been suppressed by other means on major platforms.

I'm not endorsing or condemning how these platforms behave. I'm just pointing out that they have long suppressed material that the First Amendment protects. The timeline of moderation well predates the Trump presidency.

Person-to-person contact is a different category of human interaction than that of a flyover advertisement or a billboard presentation.

I’m concerned that self-righteousness is superseding real societal progress, here.

Setting aside ones emotional reactions goes a long way in illuminating the core ethical and philosophical differences. Those are the things that need to be revised.

In this case, one clear avenue to resolve the advertising wars is to make it legislatively clear as to which party is at fault: the party that gave the consent or the party that created the circumstances within which consent was given.

In academic research, the principles are clear: it is the duty of the researchers to provide informed consent.

There is no such clarity, in the United States, as to what extent business are required to provide and enforce informed consent.

Apple is going a long way on this topic with the privacy nutrition labels, and it would be quite the win for free-market economists if Apple were to resolve this problem outside of the legal system, but Google and Facebook are the companies built on advertising, not Apple.

How will society legislate that Google and Facebook must ensure that consent was given?

Arguing that advertising should be abolished is like arguing that the news should be abolished.

Do we need laws that specify that new product announcements can only happen in the context of news articles?
He shot his dogs and buried them on his property (allegedly, because he thought they were poisoned). The last I heard of the dogs, the police had taken their corpses to see if they were shot with the same gun that murdered Faull. But odds seem low since it was known that John had a ton of guns and armed guards in Belize.

Steam has the "Steam Linux Runtime" these days[1]. It runs games inside a container with a fixed set of libraries. As long as it runs in there you don't need to worry about the host distribution.

I think Lisp is wonderful, and I would love to develop games using Lisp. However, I was under the impression that, by all accounts, developing games in Lisp is completely unrealistic due to the garbage collector.

I'm not familiar with Common Lisp, but in Racket, “GC pauses [...] typically run from 50ms to 100ms” [0]. On a 16ms maximum frame budget, that doesn't really work. Am I missing something?

>Because the answer is no, LGBT youth groups aren't political

None of them can ever be political? Really?

Obviously groups realted to any politically-adjacent topic can run the gambit from entirely political to totally divorced from any politics or activism.

I thought you were implying the first poster was not aware of that fact is all.

Regardless, thinking Facebook (or anyone) is in any sort of position to decide this is a total farce, at least to my eyes.

(Waited to post... Got my account rate limited cuz my fellow liberals downvoted me w/o comment. Seems like HN might not be a good place for reasonable discussion on controversial topics.)
Does every person who is impacted by this kind of thing have the responsibility to do Google's QC for them? What about people who never notice it? Maybe a lawsuit would be hopeless, but it sure would be nice to see some kind of real consequences here.
Floridas hot summers are a counter part to the norths cold winters. If it is too hot, you go into an AC building or car, just like if it is too cold you go into a heated building or car.

There are a LOT of people who live in Florida for 6 winter months plus a day to be able to say they are Florida residents, and enjoy the nice winter. By memorial day they are all gone.
I'm convinced the doorway to personal use on work hardware is the free printing. I still find half printed mapquest directions piling up in the copy room, in this day and age no less.
"Trust in the news has grown, on average, by six percentage points in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic – with 44% of our total sample saying they trust most news most of the time. This reverses, to some extent, recent falls in average trust – bringing levels back to those of 2018. Finland remains the country with the highest levels of overall trust (65%), and the USA now has the lowest levels (29%) in our survey."
The exact quote is “went to a judge and bought”. If that’s not a direct accusation of bribery, I don’t know what is.

None of the other options you listed come as close to describing what was stated as bribery does.
you can also add *.sony.* to that "one more" list. pretty sure there'd be no law against that - wonder if they'd appreciate it though.
WordPress is the biggest pile of spaghetti that's literally everywhere. In some modest setup, it makes 500+ calls to MySQL and thus it can never be ever fast or scale well. Another challenge is that it will always exceed whatever amount of memory you allocate for it. Storing PHP arrays in database columns is just sickening!

This argument is like mailing a letter bomb (not that anyone does that anymore) and then protesting that what you wrote in your letter was true. Obviously one can take a true statement (I'm not saying yours were true or not true) and wrap it up in a damaging flamewar package.

Not only that, but if your claims are true, then you discredit not only yourself and your views by posting this way, but also the truth itself, which actually does harm. One who knows truths that others aren't aware of is under a higher responsibility than that. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

It seems what you may be recognizing is the delineation between veganism and a plant-based diet.

I consider veganism a philosophy that leads to inevitable action in the world, contrasted against a plant-based diet which is just that - flexible (e.g. those half-meat abominations, or blended cows milk with oat milk), not particularly rooted in selfless ideology/thought process, and excludes all the other ways that other beings could suffer from our consumption practices.

Your analogy to recycling I think is also spot on, especially in the context of plant-based diets - there's a fleeting feel-good thought of "I'm doing my part!" that falls apart under any serious scrutiny. Similarly, companies like Nestle adding plant-based options very squarely fit the definition of greenwashing, IMO.

To supplement my case that vegan replacements are the main disruptors to those industries, let us look no further than the incredible amount of recent lawsuits that attempt to limit how they're labelled, under the false pretense of "customers are getting confused!!1!" [0][1][2][3]

Thanks for sharing your perspective, and mad respect for how long you've been vegan - feel free to drop me a message if you're in the Austin area! There are plenty of hip, plant-based places to quietly criticize while sipping a beer.

Okay, man, I’ll trust that you’re doing this because they were stealing stuff or something like that but if it’s just sucking at their job then damn, dude. That’s like kinda a shitty thing.

Sure it’s company hardware, and you get to do this shit but damn that shit would be like “I gotta get out of here” if I heard IT was scanning people’s browser history for sucking at their jobs.

EDIT: The lawsuit thing makes this even worse. If I even heard that someone was suing their employees for poor performance I am like straight up blackballing that company and all of its damn subsidiaries as places to work. Like my friends would know, my family would know, friends of my family would know. I’m sorry, this is straight up unacceptable to me.
I had to install an authenticator and timesheet on my phone. Not really that bad.
I just went through my phone and there isn't a single Android app I'd actually want to use on my PC. Most of my apps are just hobbled versions of websites anyway, so I just use the fully functional browser with a full sized keyboard and nice big monitor and use the websites when I'm on the PC, and for that all I need is a single browser and the OS doesn't really matter.

It’s more insidious than that. Based on proprietary databases, insurers can target advertising or marketing at you based on profiles that you don’t know exist.

If you want to avoid insuring a protected class, you might be able to identify them based on those databases, and use advertising to avoid the folks you don’t want. (This is common for student apartments)
My first ever office job was working for a local government, where one of the first things they told me when giving me a laptop was that the previous person in the position had been FOIAed and had to hand over the laptop to attorneys in the past so to be very careful about anything I did. This attitude has served me well in life.
Again, Microsoft seems to be genuinely incapable of understandng why anyone could havev ever liked the Windows already available. As if that was some crazy unthinkable impossibility. Perhaps at some point between 60 and 90% market share you should stop trying too hard to be like the others and consider the possibility that not everything you've done is wrong?
"This guy was stealing company data"

"This guy was conducting illegal business using the company's network"

"This guy was running his own mining rig on company servers"

I recently switched jobs. When I put in notice at my previous employer there was some sort of miscommunication with IT about my last day and I was shut out 2 days early, before I had a chance to wipe everything or even log out of my personal stuff (in their own chrome instance). They were not willing to undo it, but assured me everything would be instantly wiped once they received it. Couple days later I decide to check my google accounts for some other purpose and see an active session in the city where I mailed back my machine to. Same with a few other accounts. Was not thrilled with that.
> 1. Old control panels: Drivers may overlay or modify the window, so you can't really change them (don't forget: Windows supports many obscure devices like DAWs and heavy machinery, many things Linux users have never even considered connecting to a PC, and all of those have custom drivers from the device manufacturer that Microsoft doesn't control)

The bigger issue is that a fuckload of native Windows settings can only be changed through the old Control Panel dialogs. I hate the new Settings app, but they need to make up their minds about what they want to do instead of arbitrarily splitting everything up between the new shitty hotness and the old dialogs.
I'm sorry Dan - I was in a really bad spot after I saw the press conference. I know the Chief of the Cowessess First Nation. It's no excuse but I was in an awful awful place. I'm sorry.

They have and are. Intel has major fabs in the US but until recently didn't sell foundry services. Global Foundries has fabs in the US, Germany and various other places. Samsung of course has its fabs in Korea. There are more fabs elsewhere that aren't on the absolute cutting edge.

The problem isn't that TSMC is the only fab. Its that semiconductor fabrication is inelastic, in other words it cant respond quickly to changing demand. The lead time to start producing a given chip design is fairly long and a fab like TSMC will have its available capacity contracted out in advance. They were already running at capacity before COVID because their 7nm process was very popular.

You cant just build a fab overnight and start producing chips. Just building the place and getting the appropriate equipment installed takes over a year and then there is a lead time for adapting the chip design to your process. You actually design your chips with the proprietary fab process in mind. So if you had contracted with TSMC but they cant fill your order and you have to move to one of the newly available Intel fabs your engineers must adapt your design before you can start producing again. Every step of this process takes time that means that no reaction due to COVID would be showing results yet. There will be a shortage for the foreseeable future.
Also just for practical reasons. When I shift to a new work laptop or reformat my current one for whatever reason I don't want to sift through docs and pictures I might lose.
The issue is as far as people can tell he illegally invested 2000$ from an IRA. You’re not allowed to invest in a company with an IRA if:

an officer, director (or an individual having powers or responsibilities similar to those of officers or directors), a 10 percent or more shareholder, or a highly compensated employee (earning 10 percent or more of the yearly wages of an employer) of a person described in subparagraph (C), (D), (E), or (G) https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?hl=false&edition=1994&re...

Being the CEO clearly qualifies. That said, the statute of limitations means you can often get away with things if they go unreported for long enough. It may be he’s currently in the clear.
This is one of the reasons I'm starting to like thin client stuff for work. They've gotten pretty good even for large-screen GUI desktops, and if your "work laptop" is actually a different machine that's just open inside one app on your personal one, it is very easy to keep your personal stuff outside of that session.
First 'real' job I had I was a 20 something working in an office of mostly 40+ guys. (dot.com era had taken off and the company needed warm bodies)

As typical I became the guy who could help coworkers fix basic PC stuff quick. I didn't mind this as I got to know my coworkers and really just did simple things for just our small team.

One guy calls me over to help him with why he couldn't open some images on his computer. I fix the file association and ... yeah it's porn.

A little while later a guy brings in an old digital camera (back when they had some weird proprietary formats for images). Yeah his daughters were taking pics of them standing by the highway flashing traffic as it goes by.

Nothing ever came of any of it, but here I was thinking loading a bunch of mp3s on my computer was a bit dicey....

I'm not sure people's attitudes have changed that much in the following decades.
That's good to know. One of the things that pushed me completely off Android was discovering how few even Microsoft apps I could use without Play Services' malware being installed as well.

And it's very likely Google will find ways to retaliate against Microsoft for working with the Amazon Appstore here. They are pretty aggressive against forks. Honestly, I would suspect the next Duo won't be able to run Play Services, because Microsoft dared to work with a competing Android app store.
Exactly, and if you do care, you can upgrade to pro without a wipe within the OS.
