I'm not saying necessarily it was unfair, I'm saying that unionizing can only make it more fair - there's no downside to unionizing.
The good interpretation is that it incentivized the Sherrif to cut costs by getting a bonus in doing so.

The probably more accurate interpretation was that it was a way to continue the policy of slavery while enriching the Sherrif for torturing the inmates with terrible food.

Plasmic | Software Engineer | Remote | Full Time

Plasmic (https://www.plasmic.app) is a new visual page/frontend builder that integrates with real-world production codebases.

We are an early-stage startup with a tiny but wonderful distributed team of 8 from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, MIT, Berkeley, including 3 ex-founders with exits and 3 ICPC world finalists. We received outlier funding offers from a number of top VCs like NEA and investors in Figma/Framer.

We have paying customers including a Fortune 500. But it’s still early and we have many challenges ahead!

Plasmic itself is a sprawling application with complex state and interactions, where users can spend hours per session. We face many deep engineering challenges, such as:

- building a robust, performant, and feature-packed design tool on the web

- enabling existing code components to be seamlessly used in the editor

- optimizing for latency in all interactions, even when scaling to large projects

- translating free-form vector graphics from tools like Figma/XD to web standards

- handling dynamic data in the visual editor

We’re looking for one more generalist software engineer to join as a member of the formative team. You would be directly shaping the product and its future direction. You don’t need to be specialized in frontend; more important to us are software engineering foundations and experience.

If this sounds interesting, please get in touch at hiring+hn@plasmic.app. We would love to meet you!
From the article, it basically seemed like a county jail was essentially a secure boarding house where the wife of the sheriff did the food prep. In that case, a per diem would have been a lot easier administratively. Alabama has 67 counties. That's a lot of different jurisdictions to keep track of.

People complain about unfair advantages regular "retail" people have but Robinhood has made access to stocks & options a lot easier. They've made it easy to get the cheapest rates possible on portfolio backed loans. They're starting to try & give some type of IPO access, although I can't comment on the value of that. If they start to offer IRAs & other tax advantaged accounts, plus a way for non accredited investors to invest early in Start-Ups they would have hit a grand slam in my opinion.

Obviously while I see the above as a lot of great things, in the wrong hands people can do a ton of damage to themselves with margin, options or trading risky stocks. Robinhood, at the demands of critics, has been improving their information in their UI to help people better understand the risks. And yes, their bash the button to get early crypto access shall never be forgotten & always be a tarnish.

The Robinhood app is far better than anyone else out there for your average investor. ThinkorSwim is the only thing even close & it's far to complicated for most. Otherwise Robinhood is faster, cheaper, better info & overall better user experience. The other companies have all been incredibly behind times, as financial companies are known for.

Side Rant: Robinhood wasn't the only one to run into GameStop issues. There are some people who believe the whole GME debacle was very close to having huge negative implications on the entire market that were going to hurt everyone, whether in the trade or not.
Both are Turing complete, so it is the case
> But I've seen my fair share of people setting up american death triangle or threading ropes directly through the metal anchor.

Do you think these people have spent even a second doing any actual research on Youtube or otherwise, though? I have a hard time believing there are any Youtube videos suggesting the use of the American Death Triangle or threading ropes through the fixed anchor chains. Not using a daisy chain as a personal anchor is basically a meme at this point in any climbing forums.

In that case, it seems like the real thing to suggest is that people not just go out there and wing it. It's not that Youtube has failed them in that case, it's that they didn't even use it.
Anyone got a list of the countries? I tried googling around a bit to try to find it. At least other articles[1] mention all G20 countries are on board. That would include India, Russia and most importantly China.

A better way to have handled such funds is for the state not to make them personal property of the Sheriff in the first place, without even any accounting of the amount used for the allocated purpose vs the amount retained as excess.

How do you run a government budget that way?
And would kill a lot of low margin businesses right?
They try to delay this by murking the waters with gross revenue based tax for digital services

> In 2011-2015, Daniel Gallagher was 1 of 5 Commissioners of the SEC

> his previous job was at WilmerHale, a firm specializing in defending other firms against the SEC.

How is that situation even remotely legal?
I don’t think so because the officer isn’t posting the video online. Unless you think it violates copyright to play music in public spaces.
Jonas Neubauer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Neubauer), the elder statesman of the sport, openly shared and encouraged this behavior. Really an amazing community.
I think their point is that we use our 10 fingers to count to a value of 10. We can use our 10 fingers to represent 0 (no fingers) through 10 (all 10 fingers). This is essentially base 11 if you try to assign a specific digit to each finger.

While I agree with that viewpoint I think it's missing the point. As humans with 10 fingers it's easy for us to group things into increments of 10, so base 10 comes naturally. Think about how you count a quantity over 10: once you run out of fingers you mark down (or remember) that you've already counted one quantity of 10, now you're counting the next quantity of 10, etc...

It's more like a shifted base 10 where we represent digits 1-10 instead of 0-9.
To some degree I understand the cop's position. The internet is an insanely dangerous echo chamber. The vast, VAST majority of police interactions are not that. The vast majority of police interactions are well-meaning officers maintaining public order. This doesn't excuse the interactions which are unrighteous and deserve to be exposed, possibly including the interaction that these people were protesting.

The officer here was, to my view, the more sane one. He said you could record. If something happened bad enough to justify publishing the video to expose the interaction, a little Taylor Swift music shouldn't stop that dissemination of information. What it can do is dampen Ambient Outrage; a citizen surveillance state of uploading every police interaction out there to social media for Internet Crazies to get angry about because Cops Are Just Evil, where there is no nuance, no context, just outrage and ad dollars for the protestors behind the uploads.

Its memey and sad that this is the lengths officers have to go to. That's it. But if it works, especially in a situation when the officer flat-out says "yeah you can record, that's fine" (good on him!); I think their underlying rationale is perfectly sound.
Note, this is mainly in BC. Canada is incredibly large, with many different climates. So while BC is suffering from these heatwaves, places like Montreal are at 20C and low humidity.
Byway Travel (https://www.byway.travel) | Java developer | Full time | Mostly remote (1-2 days/month in London) | GMT timezone

We’re looking for two developers to join our founding team, building the world’s first dynamic packaging engine for flight-free holidays.

We’re fighting climate change by building the technology layer that will allow flight-free slow travel to scale post lockdown. Founded in March 2020, we’re a Pending B Corporation backed by Innovate UK and incredible investors. Revenues are surging, and we’re featured in press weekly, from Positive News to the Guardian. We’re a small, fast-moving and fast-growing team, so there’s huge potential for growth in this role and beyond. Your code will make a difference to our team and customers daily: your impact will be direct and visible. You’ll report directly to our CTO, Rich Levy, and work closely with our founder and CEO, Cat Jones. We help people explore the world by travelling through it, not flying over it

We exist to make flight-free holidays seamless and personal from start to end. We want to help our customers experience the joy of journeying by train and boat, opening their eyes to a new way of holidaying in which they can experience the lesser-known parts of the world instead of flying over them. We’ll blaze a trail into a new travel ecosystem growing up around sustainable, authentic and conscious travel. We’ve certified as a Pending B Corporation, which means we’re committed to building a business that’s a force for good.

We're looking for two developers :- - Full stack node.js + React, apply here https://smrtr.io/5LvDT - Backend Java, apply here https://smrtr.io/5Lq4R

What we offer : - Stock options and 25 days holiday plus public holidays - High specification laptop & tools, second screen, docking station and accessories - Remote (work from anywhere) and flexible working with ~2 days/month in London - Exposure to all parts of the business and countless opportunities for growth and development - The opportunity to be part of our founding team - Support and coaching from experienced leaders including the technical lead for Great Rail Journeys and Inntravel, and the founding CTO of Viator

We’re committed to building a diverse culture and are eager to receive applications from all backgrounds. All applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination.

Unfortunately, we can’t support visa applications at this time
More likely the opposite.

Someone working on the job, like a taxi, driving a truck, or even in the office, listening to music is not going to be in violation - unless the music were played as part of entertainment for customers/patrons.

The cop will unlikely be found to be in violation.

The person filming in uploading, that production would probably be in violation under the 'Transmission Clause'.
So you are saying that the South Korean government will stop providing special subsidies to their Chaebol ?

Low tax can be in the form of premium land grant, or govt provided healthcare for workers.
Could you mention the route you took. Interested in doing the same (versus the more conventional touristy version of Turkey)
A national news outlet such as the BBC is obliged to be accurate and clear, factually and in its use of legal terminology.

I don't know anything about UK law and editorial standards. However, I would always expect a news outlet targeting the general public to use the common meanings of words, instead of abiding by the nuanced jargon of whatever field they are covering. It's the same reason I don't get mad when newspapers use the word hacker to mean criminal.
The explicit exception for Disney was pretty brazen, but I guess the legislators knew this law had no chance of actually standing anyway. Just more grandstanding to whip everyone's current favorite whipping boys.

I have no love of Facebook and Google. Don't use their services. But for better or worse, they own their data centers. Your account is a set of files on servers they can burn to the ground if they so choose. The rights of property owners have always been first and foremost the most sacrosanct of all rights enshrined in American tradition. Whether you agree with that or not, it's the way our Constitution works. You can't compel private property owners to host content on their property. They can ban, at will, for any reason. It doesn't have to be fair. It doesn't have to balanced. They're allowed to be politically motivated. They're allowed to be wrong.

If you think we need a public digital square, then it needs to actually be public. These are legislators. They can propose a publicly funded alternative to private social media that would have to respect free speech rights because it would be part of the government.
Share buybacks are not a business expense. They are paid out of after tax income; they are not tax deductible.
> However, I don't know what a comparably effective alternative would look like

I don't know what the current state of affairs is with regards to radio modem firmware, but I would think that if radio-controlling software should be certified (as following regulation), that should be limited to the firmware, and the modem should only accept firmware updates cryptographically signed by the manufacturer (and possibly the regulator). The firmware should provide an interface that only permits legal use through technical means. IOW, regulation should be limited to the hardware module and the software running inside it. It shouldn't be possible for software residing on any other part of the device to run afoul.

If that's impossible for some reason (which I don't think it should be), then I would argue that other alternatives like focusing on prosecuting violations (like the app and OS you mentioned) or modifying the regulations so they can be contained within the firmware while still meeting goals should come before any idea of locking down whole devices for the regulation of a specific module.

Also,

> You at least have to consider the possibility that someone could create a "High Power Radio" app or OS that would ...

If that's possible then, it's possible now. I mean, you don't even have to consider phones. Bootloaders and OSes in regular computers are open source and unlocked. If that's a problem that can arise from unlocked devices, then it already would have been a problem since long ago.

Additionally, the discussion was not whether there should be unlocked devices, which there already are. The discussion was whether locking should be illegal.
The real issue is that Mexico’s government has made their country more appealing for businesses than USA’s government has.
These situations are so common I've started building join tables for such data rather than simple foreign keys by default if there's even a wiff of the possiblity that there might be multiples. The downsides are so small and the upside is huge.
Although I like to do a deliberate pun, no good heed goes unpunished. (The consequences of following well intentioned but naive advice.)
Flagged, huh?

I really don’t understand this “democratizing” thing.

In Spain, banks have allowed to trade on all kinds of assets for ages. Some with low fees. If you wanted to buy a certain asset you could do so in like three clicks.

In the US I know as a fact that some banks like Charles Schwab have also made retail investing accessible for ages…

Robin Hood has “democratized” trading in the sense of aggressively expanding it through marketing, maybe a cool UX (I wouldn’t know), but otherwise I don’t see how it has innovated significantly in the area of retail investing.

Like a sibling commenter is saying it has also popularized day-trading more than anything. The math about day-trading is unequivocal and it may very well be that popularizing this is a net loss for society, or at the very least (yet another?) mechanism for transferring wealth from the middle class to sophisticated elites (I mean, this wouldn’t be a loss if you believe it’s stricly a zero-sum effect, and that wealth is just as well in either set of hands)

To be clear, I may have moral qualms with RH and the popularization of day-trading, but I do believe in free market economics and I think it should exist - I can only hope that in time regular folk become educated about investing and that my transfer theory doesn’t come to fruition.

I’m all open for counterpoints on both my claims that it hasn’t done all that much for democratizing retail investing and that day-trading for the masses may be a bad proposition.
