http://www.night-trains.com/ has maps, the Europe map is pretty decent (fits my experience of what exists).
The most obvious example is Merkel's flooding of the bordering european states with economic immigrants and "refugees" of disputed international validity. Not only EU states like Hungary, Italy, France or Slovenia, but also non-EU territories like Croatia, Bosnia etc. It's a difference that is showing if you like me live as a student in a Schengen-border state.
Ignoring the major changes of public opinion and trying to arrange no compromises at all is (IMO) a common pattern with the EU law- and decisionmaking. Saying that a whole international union with will somehow deal with and accept an overwhelming influx of non-integrated, traumatized, not-fit-for-work population is peak bourgeoisie. At the end of the day, social state is (at least in my god-forsaken old-school commie eyes) there to provide the future productive members of society with an education, housing, stipends etc. for the betterment of the nation/state/collective/whatever. I see little sense in promotion of influx of cheap, abusable, low-skill labour or even worse, perpetual social system abusers.
Hi, the author here.

You're raising a great point. While I'm not living together with my partner, we do have a little family and I'm very much with you that it's super hard to get anything done with kids around.

Unless you get up super early, stay up super late after kids are in bed, or use the time when they aren't around (e.g. kindergarden), I also think that it's almost impossible to fully focus on something for a longer period.

I guess it kind of boils down to finding the right routines. That certainly doesn't make it easier...
Most organizations should not really be factoring state level actors into their risk assessment. It just doesn't make sense. If you are an actual target for state level actors you likely will know about it. You will also likely have the funding to protect yourself against them. And if you can't, that isn't a failing of your risk assessment decision making.
It's kind of interesting how people who would never consider a creationist explanation seem quite willing to embrace the idea that we're in a simulation.
You are still orchestrating though, you still need to provision nodes and related resources, ensure containers are running on the node and are healthy, mount volumes, clean up old docker resources. Plus you are now completely locked in to EC2, which may not be a concern for you but it is if your product or service needs to run on different cloud platforms like ours, or the CTO decides to change cloud providers one day because they got a sweet deal. I’m glad it works for you but after working with k8s for 2 years I never want to write another Ansible / Terraform script to provision IaaS resources

How to Fully Automate Your Dropshipping Store
Ok, that is a legit use case. It's been a long time since I've needed firmware that was FTP only, but I can see that possibility. But I still disagree with this:

> The consequence will be that many ftp servers still hosting software/firmware for legacy products will be taken down and their content lost.

Even if all the browsers dropped support for FTP, Finder and Explorer both have native FTP support, and there are plenty of clients otherwise. I doubt those resources will be taken offline.

No. There is a lot of laws and regulations for eminent domain/land acquisition in China. For property in cities/towns, normally a third party will come in to assess the land and property value. "Regulations on the Expropriation of Houses on State-owned Land" governs land acquisitions in this case, and it says: "The compensation for the value of houses to be expropriated shall not be less than the market price of the real estate comparable to the houses to be expropriated on the date of the public notice of the house expropriation decisions. The value of the houses to be expropriated shall be assessed and determined by real estate appraisal agencies with appropriate qualifications in accordance with the procedures for evaluating houses to be expropriated”. source: https://urbanlex.unhabitat.org/sites/default/files/urbanlex/...

For rural land, legally it is known as "village collective owned land". Land acquisition is governed by "Land Administration Law of PRC". The village committee votes to accept a land acquisition compensation scheme. Section 48 says:" Compensation for people under land acquistation must ensure their quality of life does not fall below before the acquisition". Compensation must consider current land use, its GDP value, its resources, and its location. Compensation must be given first before the land acquisition. Living standard should higher than before acquisition. In practice, the compensation of usually includes, lump sum cash, a new residential home, the community condition around the new residential home is also part of package. For example: my grand parent's village was land acquired. They used to have a pretty poor home by modern standards. Bathrooms not connected to city sewage, poor bathrooms, bad heat insulation, far from hospitals, grocery stores, school. The compensation was 500k RMB lump sum payment(the home had a living area of ~150m2, around 3333rmb/m2), a condo style home in the town center 10km away built in 2018(100m2, three bedrooms, valued at 15k rmb/m2). A community hospital, child care facility within 100m2. A large scale city hospital within 2km. Family thought it was a good deal. Actually, a lot of people joke about praying for land acquisitions because they can get a pretty large jump in quality of life.
source:http://www.npc.gov.cn/npc/c30834/201909/d1e6c1a1eec345eba237...

Also, people can sue the government for land acquisition disputes. Some sample cases are here: http://www.court.gov.cn/zixun-xiangqing-95912.html. Case 5, the plaintiff found the compensation decision to be "lacking in facts, determined using illegal procedures, selection and use of evaluation entity illegal, evaluation price clearly lower than market price". The court agrees with most of plaintiff's case, and order the government to rescind land acquisition order. Government appealed, higher court sided with plaintiff again.

> why western Christianity made no sense to me.

What specifically? You haven't explained what made no sense to you and what finally made sense to you in Eastern Orthodoxy (I would also avoid lumping Protestantism in with Catholicism under the label "Western"). Could it be that you simply did not understand? Here, I would stick to traditional Catholic teaching as the point of reference as the veritable source for orthodox doctrine and tradition, not some Protestant innovation or corruption.

Mind you, the Catholic Church understands God as the Ipsum Esse Subsistens. Thomistic metaphysics uses this term. Thus God is understood as Existence itself, as Being, not a being (you might say that God does not exist, but rather is, or to abuse the terminology, is existence). God is the "to be". This is to be identified with the "I Am" of Exodus 3:14.

> This is a nice comparison video of Tabernacle and Jewish Temple worship, and its continuation in the Orthodox Christian temples.

The Catholic mass is liturgically, etc. the continuation, fulfillment, and perfection of the sacrifices made at the Temple of Jerusalem. The altar is where the perfect, unbloody sacrifice of Christ is offered at each and every mass. This sacrifice is the very purpose of the mass. (Following the destruction of the Temple, the Jews have no priesthood, no temple, and no sacrifices, only synanogues.) So that is no news from a Catholic POV (it may be for poorly catechized and Protestantized Catholics today, but that's a different story).

> The western church in Rome was of the same One Mind of Christ in worship, Creed and sacrament until 1054 and then subsequently the Protestant revolted against their dogmatic innovations, and yet now are splintered into thousands on thousands of beliefs.

I'm not sure you have an entirely accurate view [0].

It's a social voting site, and it also belongs to a VC group. So when things make it to the front page, they're either voted by many people, or pushed forward by the site owners.

In the case of SQLite, it's probably the first.

Articles also come in batches (of a topic). Somebody sends something about X (e.g. SQLite) and then others see it, some start reading more about X on their own and digging up further articles, and inevitably a few will post those other articles they've found as well. Rinse, repeat.

Age of article also has little to do with being on the front page of HN. There are articles that have been submitted, and made it to the front page, dozens of times from 2010 to today, and their original publication date can be half a century old (eg. some old Lisp articles, Djikstra articles, "Worse is better", etc.).
It used to be that most jobs were easy to learn.
Well, I'm not saying running ftp to serve html is better. All I'm saying is that it can sometimes be the only supported option, or viable option. And there are major differences. Webserver access permissions vs. ftp server permissions for example?
I feel like a company like Sodexo could create some vertically integrated restaurant or delivery service that radically changes the margins and process.

While the result would feel a bit dystopian I suspect I'd still go along as a consumer.
I agree. Instead of, “how can we do better,” it’s “how can we discredit our new competition.” It’s a course doomed to fail.

I mean, you are allowed to take up to 10k euro in cash with you across borders without reporting it(in the EU anyway), so there is a provision in the law for "small" amounts of money. There is nothing like that here - even if you want to use crypto to send someone 1 euro for something, you will have to register.
This has been tried many times, you are ignoring the reasons it did not work. The employees hate it because they make less money, forcing the restaurant to go back to tipping. It was effectively a pay cut for employees. It is not wage/revenue neutral because it changes customer behavior.

Generally speaking, Americans are more generous when the money goes to directly to a service person than to a faceless business that sets itself up as a middleman in that relationship.
I am a head of team of 20+ brilliant software engineers, who doing great things on a daily basis. When I being asked "What kind of code do the best of your team are writing?", here's a canned response: "The best engineers are deleting code, not writing it".

For software project with size and age of Firefox, deleting obsolete or redundant code is universally good. It is hard but necessary task. I am okay with completely stop using FTP for that cause. Or eventually fire up Chrome FWIW.
Well it is not one other person's desire.

There is bunch of restaurants/joints offering me to buy a burger or buy some food with them. Yes it is more expensive than cooking myself. But no one is making them to offer those. I am not going around making people to bring me food.

Making food for one or two people is not that hard work as I mostly do it for myself or my GF or she is cooking.

Making food for hundreds of people is hard work and it has load of regulations to meet safety - that is why it is expensive. Almost everyone can make food, almost everyone can be a waiter that is why pay is not that great, if someone wants to make more money he can do something that is more complex, like making super good food like celebrity chefs.

If I would like to be nasty (as I am not and I agree it is hard work) I would go with explanation that there is bunch of lazy people who are not willing to learn anything more complex than making food and want to charge extra for that.
This was already happening with gig workers. I've met several drivers who were sharing a hotel room with a bunch of friends in SF for a week or two to try to earn as much as possible before returning home.
I am not convinced apple wasn’t aware of what NSO was doing?

Governments want access to spy on people. Apple wants to market and sell a “secure” mobile device.

In a way NSO provides apple with a perfect out. They can legally claim they are secure platform and do not work with bad actors or foreign governments to “spy”.

Hear no evil see no evil. NSO ability to penetrate iOS gives powerful governments what they want and in a way may keep “pressure” off Apple in providing official back door access.
I think BO's game plan has been to become something along the lines of a traditional aerospace contractor, and SpaceX has made that very hard.

I think the timing of the launch isn't coincidental - iirc, the investigation into the HLS decision is going to be done in early August, and it undoubtedly looks better for BO's case to have had a successful launch with humans onboard one of their rockets.
Hard agree here. As a full time Clojure dev, my experience is that lein "just works". I've also used the Clojure Tools professionally, and have seen the dev team lose countless days of what would be otherwise productive time putzing with it, building infrastructure that lein has had out-of-the-box for years, and trying to make sense out of its inscrutable docs.

Want a project with both Clojure and Java? Want tests that magically integrate with CIDER's test functions? Complex build profiles for different target environments? Lein makes this stuff as painless as possible, whereas these things are possible with Clojure Tools, but have fun wasting time messing with it and doing awkward stuff like inlining strings of eval-ed clojure code in your build file. With Leiningen these are solved problems.

I also find the core team's behavior perplexing. I'd argue the messy tooling they've been producing has probably been net negative value add to their community. Working downstream from this stuff has degraded the dev experience. Thankfully, it can be safely ignored.
Yeah, it seems kind of silly to start with the fact that the something has caused "the bad thing everyone said would happen" to happen and somehow not see that thing as a blatant security hole in and of itself.

I mean sure technical solutions are available and do help, but to only look at the technical side and ignore the original issue seems like a mistake.

A hundred million dollars is probably sufficient to hire some consultants to maintain Firefox 89.
I used copy mostly because the earlier post used it, but we can easily use moves instead. The access operator will just have to use some arithmetic to calculate which array an element is in. Moves also make it easier to have less memory overhead.

If moves aren't available then a resizable array was doomed from the start.

This doesn’t doesn’t seem like a stable fact about Apple. Their priorities can change. I expect that these recent revelations have gotten the attention of top management and they are likely to get a strong organizational response.

(I’m reminded of Google’s responses to the Snowden leak.)
I do not really want to discourage this line of thinking, but please note the old fashioned golden rule ( he with the gold makes the rules ).

Apart from that, check crypto trends and quickly you will notice that they are very few projects that care about it in any real way. Every major crypto now effectively all about centralization, not the opposite. For different reasons than the central banks, naturally. Still, the trends are hard to ignore.

Otherwise, we would already have crypto outright banned or fully decentralized by now.

Depends on what you mean by "half measures". One way we can dramatically improve the status quo is by decoupling health insurance from employment (effectively bringing the US to parity with Switzerland).

Tactically speaking, it could conceivably be achieved by enacting a series of what some might consider "half measures":

- Simply getting rid of the Federal employer mandate as well as the payroll tax deductibility for group health insurance premiums could go a long way. A lot of employers really don't want to be in the business of hiring monster HR teams that spend the majority of their time becoming health insurance experts...

- Expanding ICHRAs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22527102) can also go a long way.
TFA confuses cause and effect quite badly. Maybe the health benefits don’t result from having sex. I think it more likely that you stop having sex when your health problems make it physically impossible.
The bugs we're talking about have almost nothing to do with the underlying message transport, but rather the features built on top of it. Replacing iMessage with IRC wouldn't solve anything.
If the biggest downsides to paying workers a living wage you can think of are asking for ketchup and fetching yourself a glass of water at a midrange restaurant... I think that's a fine tradeoff.
The IRS is the symptom of our totally incompetent and dysfunctional government that we have. Good luck even getting in touch with them right now.

IMO we should just abolish the IRS and replace income taxes with a 10-20% VAT tax and be done with it. Payroll taxes and capitol gains taxes can be automatically reported and remitted from employers and brokerages respectively. Intuit and their ilk can adapt or go out of business.
For small amounts; large amounts tend to get noticed by what they end up buying, and that’s probably what they care about.
