> All we did was give them a twenty year break to amass more forces, more resources, and more training.

They would have had more forces and resources if they were in control of the country for the last 20 years. In fact, that's why they're trying to take over the country again, to once again have control of the Opium / Poppy farms and start getting more money for their organization.

Now the question is: is it worthwhile for the USA to hold onto those farm locations just so that the Taliban won't come into power? Probably not. But lets not be too hasty in our judgement here. The value in that land may be miniscule for the USA, but its of huge value to the Taliban.
Because these transactions mutate the state of the contract. It’s exactly the problem you have when doing updates on distributed databases.
You've hit the nail on the head here. Long term we want to bridge the gap between the data team and rest of the organization through a central repository of data knowledge. Using MDM's terms the data team = IT, the rest of the organization = business, and repository of data knowledge = master data. So it's almost a one-to-one comparison, and we've never heard of MDM so this is great! We are also trying to make the experience lightweight and user friendly so that everyone is interested in exploring their company's data.
I always remember when I was young they released sneakers with a built in pump, to help them fit better.(inflatable bladder inside the shoe) I always wanted to try those out…

It was different.

The same goal as anything else that floats to the top of the social media zeitgeist: making money. Anything that can be employed in the service of selling products or ads for those products can and will be "monetized".

How about a vacancy tax?
Why is requiring each property to have a named, non-LLC owner not feasible?
And regulate digital currency, require drunk driving detection systems in cars, that infrastructure bill was so helpful!
the mods are even worse than admins in many respects. mods for popular subs have considerable control over what is allowed or not. Many subs have enormous blacklists of users,domains,and even words. As well as stupid, arbitrary content guidelines pertaining to length, the title, the body, and other stuff. Reddit admins have the most power but they tend to not get involved unless a sitewide rule is broken.

What's the difference with being a contractor? You still have to pay taxes, right?
I think (don't know) that they license the brand name out to various people. So now you'll start to see "Reebok" branded stuff being made and sold by random stores that wouldn't usually sell "real" sports gear. So you'll see it being made and sold by the Walmart/Tescos of the world etc. People will vaguely recognise the brand for years/decades to come.
I'm pretty sure Netflix queues used to work this way. For the DVD-by-mail service, I think.

Basically, the web page had a text field next to each movie, and you could type in numbers, then submit a form, and it would reorder your queue.

The obvious thing to do was swap "1" and "2" to flip the order of the top two items. But you could just set the second one to "0.5" and leave the first at "1". When you submitted the form, it would renumber them all with integers.
>They could have done reasonable things while having a democratically elected government

I am skeptical this was the "right" path, broadly defined. Democracy was completely foreign to them, conflicted with their deeply hierarchical tribal structure, and was extremely difficult to administer in a country as geographically and culturally diverse as Afghanistan is. If Kharzi had appointed himself King of Afghanistan we probably would've had more luck.

Get a lawyer. I am not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice.

83b election needs to be filed within 30 days of receiving your stock / options grant. It basically allows you to pay the taxes on the newly purchased stock, upon granting, and start the clock on long-term capital gains. The downside is, if the stock goes to zero, you don't get any of that money back.

Well I’m pretty sure at least a decent number of HN users are intelligent enough to understand the difference between a piece of software that compares image hashes to detect potential child abuse material before, and malware.

If OP didn’t agree to the principal of his images being compared against a set of hashes he could literally just turn off iCloud photos, and the comparisons will not be done.

On right I forgot it’s the internet so everything has to become a controversy and there must be revenge.
At least in Vancouver there has been a pretty dramatic shift from the days of Christy Clark to try and raise the transparency of house ownership. We've still got a long way to go but it looks like those politicians are being shown the door.
Managers Can't Always Be Friendly – Why You Need to Scare Your Employees
Versioning scheme without an ordering is usually pretty bad idea. Also, try telling your colleague which version she needs to install... Might as well give up on communicating by anything but Slack.
So I am also an American and mainly read American news. However, you must realize that American and Western news sources are extremely biased and insular. It's difficult to find English non-western sources, but there's one that stands out -- Inidan news, since it's mostly in English, and decidedly not western. But you'll have to be willing to read journals that might not have the same kind of 'standards' the American ones have. When you read Indian news, you'll come across a culture that is much more prescriptive, much more accepting of an absolute morality, and much more willing to engage in stereotypes -- things that are very foreign to most Western people. Russian news is also good. Al Jazeera is good but you must understand not to take them seriously.

For example -- and please, I am not trying to be inciting, just describing reality -- the muslims are hated in India and all the non-muslim neighboring countries. Americans find this shocking, but it's a strong cultural bias in all the countries around the middle east. Why is that? Why are people there so open about it and find nothing wrong with that?

The typical American reaction is to chastise the Indian or the Chinese or the Russian, but we must instead seek to understand. What do they know about these people that we do not? Could it be that they are biased against them because centuries and centuries of contact with them have shown that Muslim culture is highly dogmatic and persistent? If so, what does that tell us about how we need to act in those places?

Again, this is not about whether we should hate muslims or not (we shouldn't). It's about understanding that behavior influences people's stereotypes, and their stereotypes might tell us something. This is absolutely foreign to American understandings of how to approach other cultures, but it's something that exists in the majority of the world. Only in the west are we taught that stereotypes should be dismissed out of hand as the result of unfair bias.
In other news. China reopens 44 coal plants. Europe is stocking coal like crazy for winter so coal prices reached all time high at Rotterdam.
Yeah it's kind of odd, because now law enforcement/the courts can say "well, you have the capability to scan content on device, you just choose not to in some cases", which would seem to open Apple up to being forced to do it in far more cases.

I think we have to look at this through the lens of governments around the world attempting to ban E2E encryption. E2E encryption has both security and privacy benefits, and IMO most people are far more affected by the security benefits, given the frequency of data leaks/hacks. So maybe Apple is saying "let's preserve some of the E2E encryption benefits", but show it can be compatible with LEO demands.

I think the unfortunate reality may be that that is the least bad option.
Google may have coined the term (not sure about this), but it's far from their own thing [1]. PWA should've been a blanket term for a set of standards and guidelines for developing web apps. Those include progressive enhancement, which I don't think most people would expect.

Unfortunately, the term has been co-opted to mean "website I can install/pin as an app". Again, Google is probably to blame for this, but AFAICT it was never meant to be the meaning of the term. What it does do is create misunderstandings, like a sibling thread claiming that (desktop) Firefox doesn't support PWAs because you can't install anything.

And of course the site will just get worse and worse, but continue onward, because its value is in the audience, and it takes a lot to screw up that momentum.

Not who you asked, but: it wouldn't change mine. My phone is one of the most private things I own, it stores private thoughts, communications and pictures. If someone goes out of their way to try and sniff data in there, that's a no go. I might even go to the extreme of saying that I'm willing to even give child pornography consumers some uncomfortable freedoms, if it guarantees that my freedoms remain untouched.

(and all of that would be before I even consider false positive rates)
If I can recommend anything in this area, it would be the book "Art of action" by Stephen Bungay. It examines in quite a lot of detail how the military has "solved" the problem of having to make decisions without perfect information, and how you can improve the structure of your decision-making process when you find you are getting bogged down in process and bureaucracy.

>The contrast is even sharper if you consider the equity that various social justice movements seek to achieve, whereby every sub-segment of society (at least those we fixate on) must be proportionally represented at every echelon of society.

This is a false premise. Not all social justice movements are concerned purely with representation. The overarching response of existing power to the varied material and structural asks (like police funding reallocation, decarceration, housing and healthcare access) has been to flatten them as such.

You can tell the movements co-opted by corporations and major political parties by the extent to which they ignore material conditions.

>The equality of outcome pursued by ‘wokeness’ is a whole other bar to reach from mere equality of rights or opportunity.

"Equality of outcome" is another disingenuous misrepresentation of what activists want. Activists want structural change, not superficial papering over of abuses of power that have been inflicted on their communities.

These are unfortunately elements that this author included that really take away from the reasonable critique of the ranking and hiring system that he is subjected to as a laborer working in a modern technology company. Perhaps he needed to start with that in order to get the outrage machine sharing his article.

You can't 'choose' your way out of this system (e.g. IP laws), that seems like a somewhat naive take.

Technology and science (or culture in this metaverse case) being commoditized means the working class live with a plundered commons. A commons stripped of meaningful alternatives, and even if alternatives are possible they are quickly turned into a rent-seeking commodity, and the sharing of it criminalized.

In my eyes, you making this suggestion means you're likely not feeling the same level of alienation and you're able to live comfortably? In other words, you can live without it due to your position as labor aristocrat.

The metaverse will be just like Facebook free basics: digital colonialism. [1], [2], [3]

Exactly. When you are affecting a change on a stream, it has to read the events anyways, so it will be able to tell if the command id is already associated with the stream since each event has the command id in its metadata.

Fascinating. I'm really curious what the use case is that so many people seem to have. Why do you need so much data in the browser, and to be doing queries and data manipulation there? Where does the data come from? Don't you need to sync it back to a server somewhere?
Interesting that Adidas didn't have more success with Reebok. I wonder if it's because they didn't want to cannibalize their main brand.

In my mind (as someone who grew up in the late 80s and 90s), Reebok made great shoes — better than Adidas and wider than Nike. Most of my tennis shoes growing up were Reebok cross trainers, and I would be more likely to try on a pair of Reeboks than a pair of Adidases. I do like Adidas apparel, and I own a pair of their iconic Sambas.

Seems like a missed opportunity. Hope the new owner can turn it around, and not just let it slowly fade into obscurity.

Yup, it needs a point-in-time comparison from when the Boomers' avg. age matched.
And the US policy towards Germany and Japan was one of utter indifference until the Japanese and Germans explicitly declared war on our country.

Moreover, unlike Afghanistan, the Germans and Japanese (especially the Japanese) displayed an actual ability to attack American interests not just isolated incidents.

The truth is that with 9/11, there was no government entity to be defeated. The best we could have hoped for was to beef up our own security, and then ignore the countries in question. Maybe go after Bin Laden like we did -- stealthily and in the night.
How about we stop trying to solve everything with more taxes? This kind of solution tends to hurt the less wealthy.

The weight placed on the backs of the taxpayers is heavy enough.

Something bodies like the CMA often struggle to get is the "evidence of harm" which validates their concerns.

Your story is a real example of a competitor or business actor being harmed in precisely the way the CMA hypothesised. It's absolutely worth writing a response to them, explaining your story and what happened, and whether you support their proposed remedy.

Facebook and all their lobbyist friends will be submitting responses saying they entirely disagree and this action will cripple the digital economy and nobody will gain from it. You can explain how you are a rival in the ecosystem, and were actively harmed by their actions that the CMA has hypothesised could happen. Having people affected get in touch and do this can really help the CMA to justify standing firm with their findings in the face of the lobbyist doomsayers.
I work deeply in heavy duty trucking technology in the US, and literally recently talked to many operators of large fleets about electrification. The only real opportunity for electrification is on short haul, less than ~300mi routes. For electrification to work in long haul (multi-day routes), they carriers will need to re-work how they actually plan freight lines to introduce many more hand off points along the route, which is going to drive up costs all around.

It's solvable, but there's a lot of work left to do. The majority of freight in the US is still basically hauled via brute-force human planning.

I’ve found imaging the page and doing OCR on the image is quite good for text extraction. Many pages on the Internet render with JavaScript, which means BS may not see the text in the DOM.

Link extraction is ignored, but could be done with BS on the rendering of the DOM.
> One of the things the article horribly fails to even mention is that when resources are scarce, people don't just sit there patiently and go into a physiological breakdown. Not at all. People get up and fight. When the bottom layer of Maslow's hierarchy isn't met, all civility goes out the window and violence breaks out, as people fight for what resources are left.

Sometimes. And sometimes they don't. Groups that don't are often far more successful. Fiction betrays us into thinking most humans are evil when facing adversity. It's not really true.
Those were the must have shoes when I was growing up in the early 90's. For some reason we thought they would help us play basketball better. I still remember showing up to school with a pair on and all of my friends being impressed.
That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking how above and beyond are they required to go with ensuring this. Technically they could require a Netflix employee to be present to verify identity whenever you stream to ensure you are in the correct country, but obviously they aren't going to that extreme of lengths. But if they're actively using heuristics to target blocks of legitimate residential IPs that might be secretly using VPNs, well that sounds like above and beyond what they may be obligated to do.

If you run into traffic and get hit by a car, the conversation is about that, not "under thinking" because the impact is painful and obvious.

However, it's more subtle for someone to notice that it takes you 30 minutes to cross the street because you're way too cautious, and the impact of that ("you could be doing a lot more with your life than standing here") is less obvious.

It is indeed completely and utterly unachievable.

'what can I do'?

The easy answer is to point to some of the myriad things one can do. Aviation has perhaps the biggest bang for the buck, easy to unilaterally give up and with quantifiable significant impacts. And yet, utterly insufficient by itself.

The hard answer is that we need to downsize our expectations by an order of magnitude.
My guess? Sooner rather than later. I think a LOT of things are going to come to a head sooner rather than later. Even those of us who make good money should be worrying about the direction things are going.
