You should still get an IPv4 address with the VM for free. But you can make sure you support IPv6 anyway for the day, when even the very first IPv4 will cost extra.
This is quite a hostile attitude. "My way or the highway." I hope other employers can start learning to accommodate different personalities/comforts/anxieties, not to mention the huge environmental cost to video chatting.

“ When we started building Stack Overflow in 2008, we didn’t have that choice. There was no Docker (2013), no Kubernetes (2014). Cloud computing was in its infancy: Azure had just launched (2008), and Amazon Web Services was about two years old. What we built was designed for specific hardware and made a lot of assumptions about it.”

Frankly, I miss those days.

Am I right in the assumption that if there were a LGB only wedding website designer they could be compelled, under this ruling, to make websites for straight weddings?

Or would that go against the "protecting both the dignity interests of members of marginalized groups and their material interests in accessing the commercial marketplace."?
Downvoting to disagree is my knee-jerk reaction, too. But in most cases it's not as helpful as leaving a comment.

Any time I leave a comment, there is usually at least some thought and effort behind it, and a downvote without explanation doesn't teach me anything, or persuade me to change my mind.

If I don't know the reason for the downvote, my frequent assumption is "this person has poor reading comprehension, or isn't very bright, and just didn't understand what I'm saying. People often dislike things they don't understand. I guess it's true what they say: judge a man by the people who disagree with him."

That's completely unfounded, sure, but lacking any additional information, it's as valid as any other conclusion about why I got downvoted. Maybe I've made some obvious error, but how would I know? In general, getting downvoted tends to make me less respectful of other people on HN, and more confident in my own (flawed) reasoning, compared to getting a thoughtful disagreement.
Not only did they know the death rate, they had an infectious agent in a tube they knew was protein. If you identify a reproducible agent you can study in the lab, you don't need any plausible mechanism.

Note that aether was the plausible mechanism, and it mislead people for a long time. The experiment that "disproved" aether just showed that the mechanistic proposal was simple, and wrong.

Effective remote work is about prioritizing. Work and Work/Life balance breaks down when you lose intention with how you spend your time.

Work from home can be less structured and as a result requires more intention. This can involve communicating Deep Work and Deep Breaks (e.g. with Slack Status [1]) so that teammates know when you're unavailable.

I've learned to set a clear intent each morning. I allocate and protect Deep Work time for my Main Thing and don't let almost anything pre-empt it. As different tasks from Work and Home come up, I capture them quickly in such a way that I can deal with them later.

(full disclosure - building bytebase.io to make it really fast to get things down to come back to later).

I was hoping this would be the general direction of Windows Phone. I want my big monitors at home and at the office (split time 3/5 and 2/5) and just want to carry my phone...without having to login to Windows 365...or a VM in the cloud...to do small to medium .NET development. Looks like Apple/VSC may get me there quicker.
MediaTek Launches Kompanio 1300T, Advances Further into the Desktop CPU Market
Why would you install a spyware on it?
I thought any of these providers always encrypted with their own key whether you encrypted on top of that or not. But I guess not.

Yet another reason to just stick with the big providers. They seem to have pretty serious compliance needs and encrypt no matter what. (Yet you should still encrypt your assets, but I believe they all encrypt their volumes anyway and have pretty strict policies on how to dispose this kind of hardware)
I've been working remote in a virtual global company since '08. People in 4 disparate time zones attending most meetings - nobody uses their camera. Desktop sharing to illustrate some point is not uncommon. The necessity to see someone's face is simply not there. Being reachable, contactable during everyone's main working hours is the real pain, but that's part of being in a remote position, and very essential when it's a global operation.
SysAdmin Day Game – Pet vs. Cattle
Do you treat your servers as pets or as cattle? Play #PetOps - Maintaining servers is a craft, which is often undervalued.
I'm still waiting for Hetzner to support servers (physical and virtual) without public IPv4 addresses. I could easily free up the ~50 public addresses I'm using. One public IP will do, I can reverse proxy everything else.

But there's no support for that. So every time I spin up a 1 vCPU tiny VM, which will never connect to the public internet, I'm wasting an expensive resource. Sorry.
Show HN: How I use trelllo to organize new ideas [audio]
I think this is an org-smell though, I shouldn't miss out on important details because I was in the stall or taking a quick walk either. My first job was remote communications oriented despite being overwhelmingly in-office employees, and it was amazing how much information you could find by searching communication channels and wikis. The norm was to ask questions and talk about impromptu problems in chat, and if you needed to collaborate you went to designated areas or scheduled a meeting. Remote workers weren't out if the loop and on site new hires like myself had a huge wealth of searchable info to absorb
Not lazy, but unwilling to expose anything other than your code to others? It’s hard enough to understand who your team is when you’ve never met them in person, now you don’t want to even show your face? Why even bother with a meeting then.

> > To our surprise, we found a lack of published, well-optimized, large-data hash functions. Most hash work seems to focus on small input sizes (for things like dictionary lookup) or on cryptographic quality.

I do still find this to be the case. I recently had to come up with a hash I could use for quickly IDing medium-sized data chunks (hundreds of MBs to small numbers of GB), with no need for cryptographic-level security. Best I could find after a surprisingly uninformative search was murmur3. I'm still not confident in my selection.
'Most powerful' tidal turbine starts generating electricity off Orkney
If you look at what happens to the scientists who dissented, it's no real surprise that nobody investigates this any more. Look at this thread. Mullis invented the PCR test and won a Nobel prize for it, but his beliefs about AIDS were immediately written off without investigation (except by me) and in fact used as a reason to attack and undermine him. Now what happens if you raise questions about this without being a Nobel prize winner? The HIV faction won decades ago, fighting it would be impossible.

Science is often said to be self correcting. I no longer believe this. Rather it's ridden with groupthink, politics and power games. I watched in 2020 as the scientific "consensus" about COVID models became defined by whichever factions were most aggressive, most shameless and most willing to lie, despite the evidence right in front of my face. Like I said, I never developed a strong opinion on the "HIV not the cause of AIDS" theory, partly because I don't really care. COVID is far more important. But could scientists end up collectively believing something that just isn't true at all for decades? Yeah, absolutely. I totally believe that's not only possible but quite likely. Scientists will still be claiming that COVID models worked well when we're all in care homes.

As to why anyone should care: because how do you know who to listen to, if you don't evaluate their past reliability? You say that you'll believe anything academics tell you because it's "not your field". Sounds like you might be a scientist? I think a lot of us would like to know what's true even in fields that aren't our own, especially because governments have a habit of making the pronouncements of scientists everyone's problem.

DDD attempts to solve the right problems, but so does everything else, and adding process when there's an incentive and cultural misalignment doesn't actually help.

Every success (including major ones, going from so risky the VP doesn't even want to attempt it to best thing ever delivered by the department style of things) I've seen has been due to two things. First, dev believing that their responsibility was to understand and solve a particular problem, and that they were empowered to actually do that. Second, product believing that what they'll be evaluated on at the end of the day is if a valuable solution is provided. Both of these are predicated on upper management creating incentives for doing them, rather than all the other BS that upper management can end up prioritizing instead (i.e., status reports, documentation, checklists, roadmaps, etc).

With those two things in place, you'll figure out a process that works. You want to use DDD? Fine. You don't want to? You don't need it. You can have all the same information you'll get via Event Storming and etc collected and shared verbally via tribal knowledge (ideally not just this, but I've done it successfully, if with some obvious risk), or written in wikis, or whatever, and be successful.

Without those two things? The devs will be bored as product talks at them rather than to them as they move stickies around, the stories will still reflect nothing of value, the actual work will be extremely low quality and will be constantly in need of rework (both due to quality and due to actual value), there will be constant asks for documentation that no one will read, and constant meetings to prepare for and explain status.
> There should be no requirement to have the camera on, it really adds very little over voice alone

While I agree that people shouldn't be required to have their camera on for the first reasons you mentioned, I disagree on this point. I find that without a face to read, I have a very difficult time navigating conversations. It's the same reason phone calls give me so much anxiety. There are subtleties happening in facial expressions while a person is talking and gesticulating that communicate important information.

Maybe you've adapted to a set of circumstances throughout your life that means this doesn't affect you as much (maybe you spoke a lot on the phone when you were younger, I don't know), but I personally rely quite heavily on facial expressions for social cues. Without them, I fall apart.
The most effective bioterror attack in the USA was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_atta... and it killed zero people, affecting 751 people in total. Bioterror is expensive and difficult.

For prions specifically, the main "problem" (which is a good thing overall for us) is that they're naked proteins, and they denature relatively quickly when outside of a protective environment. Spray them onto crops? Crops and soil are covered in small bugs and microbes which break down anything too long, including proteins and carbohydrate chains. No, in order to have prions in the food supply, you need something like cannabalistic cow-raising practices or other ways of recycling prions in a wet+hot safe environment.
I’ve gone from bullish to bearish on self driving, all I want from that area is radar guided cruise control and highway friendly lane keeping.

Sadly the Ioniq 5 won’t be on sale in my state. I’m considering a model Y because the range is desirable for the semi-regular camping we do.
In large-ish meetings (3+ attendees), I usually turn off my camera (and mute my mic) when I'm not the one talking. For less formal meetings I might relax this. But, in general, I've found that keeping cameras and mics on at all times usually derail meetings.
I stopped drinking about a year and a half ago. One thing I really miss is being in a bar and having conversations with interesting, relaxed strangers with things to say.

If you’re abstaining from alcohol because you’re addicted to it, it can be very hard to find that kind of social connection elsewhere. I think this is a problem in our society (at least in the United Kingdom): a lack of places to be sober and socialise warmly with strangers
that’s a bold prediction. i don’t think it’s going to happen.

building a car is about more than just the engine. It’s about the supply chain, it’s about parts, it’s about service. Toyota and Honda have a lot more experience in this area than a new-ish car manufacturer. They also build reliable, great cars that I like owning and driving.

I like how everyone is up in arms about Toyota doing something [that serves their interest; in a legal way] to influence the government but people pretend Tesla is such a success story, ignoring all the money the govn has pumped into it.
How Long Can Taiwan’s PCB Industry Hold Against China?
Also no terrorist is interested in a weapon which takes 10 years to kill their target population, maybe.

The threat of WMD terror hasn't materialized in a meaningful way: intact, state-manufactured nuclear weapons are the only plausible weapons non-state actors can realistically handle without killing themselves with them, and even that's pretty questionable: it's not easy to detonate a nuclear bomb.

Chemicals are even worse: it's pretty easy for a chemistry student to accidentally make organophosphates, but terror groups don't try in any substantial way - you're as likely to poison yourself as anyone else.

Biologicals are the worst: screw up and they infect you and then the rest of your organisation - or you have a power cut and everything dies in the test tube.

This criticisim is slightly misguided. Let's say you have email notifications turned on too, and Joe could be standing next to you. Do you expect everybody to start email conversations with "whats up?" just so you can establish a confidential environment?

It's all about the topic discussed. Most of the time you just need to get the question out there. It's not confidential but you don't want to waste time with an extra round trip. So just write it down. No matter chat or email.

And sometimes something sensitive comes up. Then you take precautions, like booking a meeting, or having an understanding within management that your mail inbox/chat contents/.. are considered confidential (which they should) or similar.
> There should be no requirement to have the camera on, it really adds very little over voice alone and there are countless valid reasons to not want it on.

Not true. Audio only communication increases the cognitive load on the listeners, as well as giving _ample_ opportunity for distraction to any participant as they are more likely to alt-tab and begin some other task instead of paying attention to the call.

For the person speaking it's also a strain to not have visual cues from participants. Yes, even seeing a few simple nods, or confused faces, can make a difference.

Taking "camera breaks" is fine if it's a lengthy call (which is a problem itself, nobody should be having lengthy meetings of any kind IMHO, let alone remote) but otherwise just put the damn thing on.

Anyone "shaming" workspaces or whatever else is a different matter and I will wager a big chunk of money your org has far greater problems already that should be enough to warrant a new job before being shamed for your workspace is anywhere near the top of the heap.

One giant exception I have to this rule is MS Teams is so terrible at managing multiple videos that even my high end laptop wants to melt.
> It's honestly acceptable for many people.

The reality is that it's acceptable for the majority of people. Many families could replace both vehicles with an EV, most families could replace one vehicle with an EV.

The sentiment that's perpetuated that "it wouldn't work for me" needs to die. Yes there are people and scenarios where it wouldn't work, and unfortunately those boundary conditions are being touted vocally and negatively shaping public sentiment.

If public sentiment were to shift strongly in favor of EV transition, it would still take decades and companies would actively start looking for solutions to the boundary conditions but as long as a vocal minority is online saying "this will never work for me" then there's always going to be push back slowing or stifling adoption.

Everyone who feels the urge to standup and say "no, this won't work for me" either needs to engage in find a solution that will or just sit down and shut up.
Still shocking to me that nobody looks at the life insurance broker who knows that the spouse would be vulnerable to a sure conviction if the other spouse was found dead within the next few months after opening the policy
I bought a Tesla recently and the biggest selling point to me is that (in theory, it’s yet to be proven for me) you can enable features after purchase. It bothers me that for example BMW literally won’t let you upgrade the head unit to get car play neither by software nor by physically sealing it (new head units need to be activated by BMW HQ and they won’t do it if your HU doesn’t match your VIN). You can look at it from the negative point of view but there is an upside to it that I think is worth mentioning.
This is unlikely. Toyota, anyways, has really excelled in other ways, for example, using supply chains correctly and not taking a huge hit during the semiconductor shortage. The car market is also relatively slow to shift, I do think that there's plenty of time for Toyota to pivot.
> But downvotes? I pretty much won't post on HN or Reddit because of them (and the culture associated with it)

/snip

> It's not that I can't take being told I'm wrong, I just don't want to be involved in a community where supposed professionals act like that; frankly is scares me that such malicious and petty people might have power.

I don't understand. Why not just ignore them? I mean this pragmatically. "If they don't matter, they shouldn't exist" may be true. But if you're able to get over the emotional impact, it has little to no bearing on the value one can get out of participation in a forum. They don't actually have _that_ much power: this isn't the frontpage of Reddit,so the volume of comments is low enough that downvoted comments get plenty of exposure.

I make no secret of my complaints about much of HN's culture. This isn't 2009: there are a lot of really stupid people on here now, so having a comment be downvoted[1] doesn't particularly bother me. I still engage because of the relative density of insightful and intellectually honest commenters. Once I lost respect for the commenter body in general, downvotes just started feeling like weather: semi-random and not worth complaining or even thinking much about.

Now if you're saying that you can't handle the emotional impact of downvotes per se, try as you might to stop caring about them, that's fine. But be honest about it instead of couching it in four paragraphs of "I don't actually care but".

[1] I'm not referring to the cases where I objectively deserve it because I was in retrospect being an ass. Those are part of the functioning of a healthy forum and I'm obviously fine with them
There's zero chance Toyota ends up on 'life support' within a decade. They're a top 10 company globally in terms of revenue, and even in the worst case where they fail to release competitive EV models, the global switchover to hybrid electric (plus legacy ICE sales) in less developed markets will hold them over for quite a bit of time.
This is exactly the way I mean it, except maybe for the "everyone feels they understand it" part, which I would replace with "everyone has an opinion on it."

You don't have the ability to downvote.
It's a down arrow right below the upvote (up arrow).

[-] collapses the parent, you're correct. You can also unvote if you change your mind on your vote.
My guess is it was downvoted for calling out that what people really want is to be in a bubble of likeminded culturally similar people. I don't see a problem with this behavior, it just looks like basic human nature to me. But I think some people are offended that they might not be as "enlightned" as they fancy themselves to be.
If an employee is never comfortable showing their face in a video chat and I’ve never met them ever, it definitely is weird for me and I’m sure I’m not alone. No one in my team had any issues with the norms I mentioned above, and this was agreed upon among people without any managers giving pressure. So perhaps we have self selected among ourselves people who like to talk to actual faces then? Glad to stay in this bubble then.

Where do you live? Here in Canada I've had native IPv6 through Rogers for the better part of 10 years and have never had problems in any way. In fact I have IPv4 straight up disabled on a few devices because v6 has been marginally faster in any test I've done. So far Reddit and HackerNews are the only two websites I regularly visit without v6 support (why?).

Silently dropping mail (not even to the spam folder) is a maddeningly cryptic action on MS's part, and has squandered massive amounts of developer and system administrator time.

If you're in a position to sway anybody from using Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, or Msn.com or Live.com I highly encourage it - MS has made a lot of lives difficult with their email policies, including NerdAdmin's here.
While downvotes can drive people out of communities, I have to contrast what happens in no-downvote communities, where often the top commentary is, to be blunt, far worse because corrections can only exist in the form of responses (and so more engagement).

Downvote-based systems are better at having the consensus viewpoint and quality content bubble to the top, at the expense of pummelling some of the dissenting views.

Upvote-only systems seem to have worse stuff bubble to the top.
