My last two companies gave me 6 months each for parental leave. I also took a lot of sick time. Agree with vacation time though, could be better.

> job safety and security,

Job market in USA for engineers has been really good. Most software engineers i know have 'job safety' in a sense that they can find a job in a couple of weeks or couple of months at most. But randomly getting fired isn't super common from what i've seen.
>because they're just speaking (which is protected), the government did not actually remove or de-platform anyone.

You're not following what I'm saying. They're explicitly coercing companies into doing things due to the fact they can bring down real repercussions if they do not. The government is using big tech as a middle man to do their bidding and silence "bad" speech. That, is in fact the same as doing it themselves, therefore stomping all over the 1st amendment.

Just because Pablo Escobar uses mules and dealers to peddle his drugs doesn't mean he's not guilty.
Pretty shocking that for all the discussion of this news article, yours is the only comment that looked into the actual "defamatory claims", and it seems the only one we have access to... was factually true (but heavily editorialized). Incredible how the narrative can get swayed so easily on the basis of no evidence, or in contradiction to the evidence.
There is more than Fatblaster 9000. There are things like Noom which have helped me.
It seems like signing up for a job like being a police officer, and receiving a gun, riot training, interrogation and arrest techniques means that they should be able to handle this without escalating.

Now if a cop was calling you those things and you had all of those weapons and verbally engaged in escalation, i think maybe, you might not survive the encounter.

Throwing money at climate change doesn't fix it. Telling entities that already ravage the planet does. But which one do you think is easier for everyone universally to say "I'm helping!" without actually doing anything?

It's basically the shareholders that pay this tax - the corporate tax being described here only on applies to the profits, so salaries for example would be counted as an expense and not included in that.

There's also not a lot of reason for this to be passed on to the consumer - if raising prices would let the company make more profit, it would make sense for them to do that anyway regardless of the specific tax rate they pay on those profits.

As for taxing the shareholders directly, they of course do do that in addition to the corporate tax. One way the corporate tax is a little bit different is that it's paid before income is distributed to the shareholders, so if a company accumulates a huge cash balance but doesn't do any share buybacks / dividends, it will still pay the corporate tax even though the shareholders won't pay any tax (unless the company starts distributing the profits).
I always say, if you're going to invest in fixing a foreign country, start with Mexico.
You can trivially set up a carbon tax that a majority of voters would vote for, simply give the money that you taxed back out equally among the population as a form of UBI.

We don't see these proposals because they are not proposals that the wealthy and powerful would benefit from.
I think you're misunderstanding the concept here, this has nothing to do with dodging responsibility for unpopular policies. If you think countries shouldn't tax corporate profits at all, great, but that's a separate discussion; this is predicated on the assumption that all countries desire a non-zero corporate tax, and just need a way to get there.

The point of this measure is to avoid a coordination trap that leads to corp tax rates converging on zero even though each country does not want that. Such scenarios are well studied, and a mutually agreed upon enforcement mechanism is the optimal solution. If that resembles a conspiracy theory to someone, well, hopefully they can read the wikipedia page on the Prisoners' Dilemma and learn something new.
Anyone create an opt-out service that scans business/news releases and percolates that info up in a presentable way?
> It must also support secure authenticated updates to the databases.

This does not imply "the user must be able to add their own keys". (Particularly as that would not usually be "authenticated").

Secure Boot keys include keys which (in theory) are used to authenticate an update to the key database.
The problem is that embedding servo is not that easy. This is the only info I found on it:

What does direct pay to poor citizens have to do with climate change? I've always been told that the best way to do a pigovian tax is to make it revenue neutral. You collect the sin tax, but then your redistribute it based on the average level of tax collected. So someone who uses exactly the average amount of carbon sees no change in buying power. Someone who uses less than average actually sees an increase in buying power. And anyone who uses more than average sees a decrease.

The idea here is to allow the cost of decisions to be felt in the wallet, but not hurt the spending power of those who are making climate-conscious purchasing choices.

Just throwing in a surprising second vote of support for Razer's laptop line. I've never owned a laptop that didn't have a ton of quirks, and my Razer Blade Stealth isn't an exception - but even given that, it's one of the best laptops I've ever owned. It looks beautiful, it's light, battery lasts a really long time, it handles any game I throw at it at 1080p with reasonable framerates, so I can game while traveling.

The biggest issue I've had with it was actually with the charger - the USB C port on the charger snapped off after just a few months of reasonable use. Razer replaced it for free, but that's when I learned that any charger less than 100watts results in the battery draining under load when plugged in. The build quality of the laptop itself, though, is excellent.

I've done BIOS updates, etc., and have had no issues.

IIRC it was for the collections library of the E language, whose first implementation was in Java (erights.org). The E designers had a self-imposed constraint that everything computational had to be deterministic. The standard way of doing iterable hashtables lacked this property.

I tried to check my memory by following the link to the Raymond Hettinger talk, but he doesn't say just what prior work he was talking about, only that it was in Java.

Because YouTube is doing it at the behest of the public. People voted in representatives that brought laws that force YouTube to do this. Your outrage is misplaced.

You think YouTube has any incentive in this? If it were up to YouTube they would just bring in rules that give creators ample flexibility while still making sure there's no infringement.
Quoting from the opinion in this case here:

> The California Supreme Court held the individuals had the right, under state law, to engage in the proposed activity. The ruling did not compel the shopping center to say anything at all, and the ruling did not prohibit the center from saying anything it wished, when and how it wished.

And it doesn't apply because:

> FAIR and PruneYard establish that compelling a person to allow a visitor access to the person’s property, for the purpose of speaking, is not a First Amendment violation, so long as the person is not compelled to speak, the person
is not restricted from speaking, and the message of the visitor is not likely to be attributed to the person. The Florida statutes now at issue, unlike the state actions
in FAIR and PruneYard, explicitly forbid social media platforms from appending their own statements to posts by some users. And the statutes compel the platforms
to change their own speech in other respects, including, for example, by dictating how the platforms may arrange speech on their sites. This is a far greater burden on the platforms’ own speech than was involved in FAIR or PruneYard.
The premise of this article is completely wrong. The assertion is that EMI (electromagnetic interference, which is caused by radio waves) is causing problems with pacemakers, when in reality the issue is simply magnetism. Pacemakers are designed to be disabled when a magnet is placed at a certain location, and the magnets in the iPhone happen to be in that spot when placed in a shirt pocket.

The article only vaguely hints at this, while instead trying to falsely link regular magnetism created by fixed magnets to the idea of EMI resulting from wireless charging. This is either intentional on the part of the author, or so poorly researched that it should be removed.
Right, so not to put words in varispeed mouth. But their claim is that Right-to-repair that doesn't give you the Right to repair what they want the right to repair is deliberately deceptive and, thus, fraudulent.

The damages would be that the product that they wish to repair are irreparable.

I didn't downvote you, but, to me, your claim very much does not match up with my experiences. Regardless of political affiliation or age or location - even before Snowden - most people probably wouldn't find it very crazy or implausible, and a lot would say it's quite possible or likely. Post-Snowden, I think you'd be seen as the crazy one if you thought it wasn't happening.

At least if we're talking about surveillance in the sense of "when you call someone or are called by someone, the phone numbers and length of the call are automatically recorded in a database, and everyone's unencrypted internet traffic is collected and/or automatically and manually analyzed by the National Security Agency". If someone says the government put microscopic hidden cameras in everyone's home ceilings, then, yeah, they'll probably be seen as pretty crazy. (A bit less so if they say they're just tapping the cameras in phones / laptops / smart TVs.)
I agree that large organizations and governments have more incentives and more resources to tackle a large issue like this.
Stallman[1] and others[2] wrote about TPMs nearly 15 years ago, and the former revisited the topic in 2015.

Trusted Platform Modules can be used enforce app DRM, ensuring that only "approved" apps are able to run on a system.

That's already the reality for iPhones and iPads. We see desktops converging on this reality with systems like Apple's M1 which won't run unsigned binaries at all, and makes it difficult to nearly impossible to run apps that weren't first approved by Apple through their notarization process.

> fresh milk is available, but compared to the size of the population, it's not as much as it seems. in the one million-people town where i live, i only know two supermarkets that stock fresh milk.

I was aware of the availability of imported boxed UHT milk. My experience is that it shows up in supermarkets in an "imports" section. (I tried it and found it extremely unpalatable.)

Fresh milk is available much more widely (in Shanghai, which is large). It's in every supermarket and every convenience store. The most common brand is named "Fresh Milk" (blue carton), which I wasn't able to drink without becoming nauseated, but there is also a "locally produced" (whitish carton, I don't remember the actual brand name) brand which I consumed in very large amounts.

No it only requires the approval of the destination country. But in the case of Ebola, some of those countries didn't have an established infrastructure to run trials so the WHO initially hesitated. But in the end they got Merck to run the trials and FDA and EMA to evaluate the results.

Exactly. Making the whole "I don't trust the government to do something smart with my money" argument moot. It has been proposed, voters have seen the proposal, and it has been voted down.
Let’s be clear, there was no retaliation. You’re making up laws to be able to claim the cops violated something and thus justify your anger. The truth is the cop is at best misguided about a civil matter (dmca take downs on YouTube) and is attempting to prevent the many people online from raging on him and his family while he attempts to do his job to the best of his abilities.

Further, it's not that the magnet 'hurts' the pacemaker or device in any way. The presence of a magnetic field is used as a control signal to change the operating parameters of the device.

This is critically important for a device that may not have any remote control functionality or easy way to reprogram it other than 'cut up the patient'.

(Keep in mind that these things were designed decades ago, and 'RF remote control of pacemaker' probably introduces more problems than it solves, even today.)

Side note, but what's with the trend of people saying/spelling "biased" as "bias"? Is it just because the "-sed" in "biased" kind of blends together when pronounced / is awkward to clearly separate, so eventually some people just think that's what the word is? (I know a lot of words across many/all languages develop that way, so not really complaining, but when you're in the midst of it it feels a bit weird.)
