>so you are probably safe.

I don't actually live in Canada, and would probably comply with a person's request to call them "Supreme Emperor" if they asked nicely. So I didn't feel very threatened to begin with.

>who was actually prosecuted for not using the right pronoun? That’s not what the law says.

The article you linked has this section, Cossman is a legal professional.

> According to Cossman, accidental misuse of a pronoun would be unlikely to constitute discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act, but "repeatedly, consistently refus[ing] to use a person’s chosen pronoun" might.

Now here's the part that rubs people the wrong way: refusing to use the correct pronouns is a prejudice against an ideology, not a person. The person misgendering is not in any way or form advocating for violence or discrimination, just refusing the right of the misgendered to determine their own gender. Unless you somehow include "The right to determine one's gender" among fundamental human rights, misgendering, no matter how consistent or deliberate, isn't an attack on anybody.

Imagine you live with a very vocal minority of otherwise-nice Muslims who are very offended that each time you mention prophet Muhammed you do not follow it with the obligatory "Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH)", do you agree that it's hate speech to repeatedly mention Muhammed without PBUH? It's probably divisive and immature, but it lacks the key component of hate speech: actual hate, of the type "against people". There is no violence in refusing to use language like Muslims do, just the implication that you're not a huge fan of what they believe and do[1].

>Peterson seems to be full of shit.

Not a fan of Peterson and never read a book by him or watched his videos, he does seem to venture sometimes. But men derive worth from their ideas not the other way around. If the Taliban said they agree with not forcing people to use language in the way a specific group demands, well I would hate to agree with the Taliban but they're right.

[1]*: And before the inevitable "Islamophobia!!!" accusations, I'm a born-raised-living middle eastern ex-muslim regularly forced to pretend I believe things I don't to avoid harm and ostracization. I wouldn't like violence against Muslims because all of my family and nearly every friend I knew and know is a Muslim, but I sure do appreciate the ability to say to someone their beliefs are stupid without that reflecting badly on me.

That's the position I'm coming from here "Your ideas suck", while an unpleasant thing to say and best avoided, is not hate speech. Refusing to use language in the way someone wants is implicitly a "Your ideas suck" statement.
It could be user or system or prices error rather than malice in this case: the message not getting to the right person (general mail fail, people monitoring that target being unavailable, misidentification as junk, ...) or that person/group missing it assist a sea of other comms. We don't know how much effort was made to chase a response.

Their response after the issue hit social media was far more decent than companies have done in the past:

> I would like to update that I have been reached out by @Razer and ensured that their security team is working on a fix ASAP.
Their manner of communication has been professional and I have even been offered a bounty even though publicly disclosing this issue.
Or as TFA speculates: an endemic virus like the flu that kills 10k-60k in the US every year.
Trucks serve a purpose if you need to carry (really) big loads on a regular basis (eg farming equipment). Same goes for actual off-road vehicles. None of these are applicable to vehicles that are only driven in cities.

I personally like the "Hochdachkombi" format (e.g. Citreon Berlingo) ... smaller than a SUV with twice the trunk volume (1000l compared to e.g. the 550l of a X3).

I can (and I have) transported four fridge size PA speakers in that car and still have some space on top for monitor speakers. All while still fitting on tight parking places in the city and using 8l / 100km (30mpg?).

I would go further and say good luck self-hosting your email at all if you're a Joe Schmoe.

Being able to do that can't be expected of everyone, so for the individual (especially the individual reading hackernews) it might be a way around the problem - but it's not a solution.
I haven't worked with JS for a while so I'm not really up to speed on modern Deno and Node but can't you also package a node cli tool as a binary? Also how can Deno run a lot faster? I would imagine it at least suffering from a startup time hit due to the TS compiler. Maybe someone can explain?

Ask HN: Revenue multiple for data science company?
My data science consultancy is considering an acquisition from one of our best clients to come in house. We are small but profitable and have a team consisting of two data scientists and two ML engineers. Since this would be effectively an acquihire, what type of multiples have people been seeing in the market recently for a similar deal?
I can just as well point at that thread and go "Isn't that the type of software HN keeps criticizing for being Electron?". Somehow people see discussions about A vs B and go "HN is totally always for A", despite the only reason you even see A so much is that it's hotly discussed every single time, with plenty people arguing B. And of course that shitty generalization is now top of the thread, instead of something discussing any substance specific to the submission.
No restriction? You will have a nasty surprise if you return from a red list country. Plus mandatory covid tests before and after returning to the UK. Plus mandatory face masks in public transports. Plus mandatory self-quarantine if you are pinged by the NHS app. Many companies have not returned to the office. We are not back to normal.

That's more or less what I did. I put the TV in to "Basic" mode then used my old 1080p Chromecast to get the desired effect.

But it burns me that I have hardware in the TV that would be great, if the software was built slightly differently.

I really would like to use some apps on Google TV and use the Library function.

I feel like I'm in a completly different world where I would actually want to curate what my elementary age kids can access and see. Perhaps most people don't care. Perhaps people think it is a feature not a bug. I get the technical solution.

The one thing I ask for, is to be able to control what goes on my TV. there seems to be no concept of this.
The virus will evolve so as to make more copies of the virus. This can go more than one way.

The viral evolutionary definition of benign is "does not kill the host or harm the host in such a way as to greatly reduce its ability to spread the virus."

Making the host brutally ill and totally non-functional for weeks is generally fine. Causing harm to the host that reduces its vitality or life span in the long term is fine. Polio met these criteria. It did not usually kill its host.

Benign is only one evolutionary path though. Another evolutionary path for a virus is to boost the R factor so high that it can burn through its hosts and still find more hosts, especially if there are say... seven to eight billion hosts. Smallpox was more like this. A more contagious form of Ebola could be like this.
Plenty of people got it from blood transfers, among other things.
>Would you go to Louvre to see Mona Lisa if you have an atom-by-atom identical copy at home? How much would you pay for the original? What is "original" in this case? Which ship of Theseus is the original one?

I am certain that if there was a perfect replica of the Mona Lisa, the original would retain most of its value. I don't really understand why this is the case, but I do understand that it is the case.
Not to excuse racism in any way, shape or form. But I think that fear and racism are quite tightly connected.
Wow, no mention of long covid in the entire article. People are making a lot of assumptions about a disease with billions of people naive to it (the unvaccinated) and selective pressure from the vaccinated. I think we could all benefit from some humility.
There is no such thing as a well socialized dog. They are pack animals and their owner is their pack, everybody else is the enemy. It doesn't matter how friendly you think they are, if they perceive a threat to their family they will attack.

Nothing worse than a dog owner who doesn't realize that the way that his dog treats him does not extend to the rest of the world, which from what I can tell lately is all of them.
I can't tell you the historical landscape except to say that I often find "the media" and similar sentiments are usually followed by <my own bullshit I believe in/>.

Does this question presuppose that the US govt, fortune 100 etc, are institutions that can reach a level of intelligence and insight that roaming individuals can't? That's some faith in collective action, if so.
I see this quite often and wonder what the reason is. Even for what seem like "basic" apps, as in not needing much interaction with the OS (say a note-taking app, as opposed to a video-conferencing app that presumable does more involved things, like GPU acceleration).
No idea about the specific situation in the US, but in my experience these kinds of distortions are almost always because said public school can only get the 10M for sports facilities because there is a specific fund for exactly this but not general school funding. The school then applies for it anyway because that means they can divert 100k or some other paltry share of said funds to be used for general school equipment etc.
All of Razer's products are like that. I've been boycotting them since their keyboard wanted me to sign in to use my function keys.
It's not that the virus will necessarily evolve to become benign, but rather that most people will get infected when they're young and build up natural immunity which protects them later in life. This is what already happens with the other 4 endemic common cold coronaviruses. Each of them probably killed a lot of people when they first emerged.

Good article, but doesn't mention the other reason that covid-19 is never going completely away: animal reservoirs. We know that dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, mink, white-tailed deer, a gorilla, and a tiger have been found to have been infected with covid-19. It is implausible that it will ever cease to have an animal reservoir, especially given the finding in Canada of 30% of white-tailed deer having it.

Of diseases that get as widespread as this, with animal reservoirs, I don't believe there is any case of eliminating it. But, like vaccines can teach the immune system how to respond more intelligently (and less self-destructively) to covid-19, hopefully society can learn to respond more intelligently, and less self-destructively, to the fact that it's always in circulation.
> close to full vaccination, like the UK.

Why do people not consider kids younger than 12yo as part of the population? MILLIONS of kids can't be vaccinated yet (but will hopefully come december). Any talk of lifting restrictions before march is basically a re-formulated "fuck the kids".

All radar based lane keeping solutions have this problem. That is why Tesla is moving away from them. The current version of Autopilot already will no longer have the same issue. If you buy a Model Y or Model 3 in the US, it has no radar anymore.

Economic and market discussions do a very poor job of distinguishing stocks and flows.

At the risk of a major digression, one sees this constantly in discussions of inequality where net personal wealth or market capitalisation (both stocks) are compared to income or GDP (both flows).

(And at the risk of digressing my own digression, economists aren't even settled on whether wealth is a stock or a flow. Adam Smith's definition is the latter.)

With water, there is is a throughput in a given region. That flow is not uniformly available, and varies with time (further complications). It serves processes and consumers (in both economic and ecological senses), and changes to those flows and availability do have major impacts (whether surpluses or shortages).

There are times when the critical need is getting rid of excess water (via dikes, pumps, and other control structures), others when the critical need is obtaining or preserving water (again: via pumps, reservoirs, cisterns, etc.). The total demand, flow, and impact are high enough that even modest deviations from normal experience or expectations are often devastating --- floods, droughts, and the like.

Transporting water more than a few km / miles is tremendously expensive and typically requires major public infrastructure. It's best moved under gravity flow alone.

If the litre of water you have used comes from an excess, there is no issue. If it won't be replaced for a year, it's the last litre available, and the nearest additional litre is 100km away ... you may be having a problem.

I didn’t read it, but, if true, this seems possible once you understand the broader personality disease associated with alcoholism. These people are ‘extreme takers’, and they are like magnets for codependents who pride themselves on their contributions. Then the taker puts this relationship into overdrive by creating a never ending string of disasters for the codependent employees to clean up. They will exhaust themselves trying keep him away by making it work without him.

I have a lot more to say about how this works and why the codependents keep falling for it, but that is the gist of how it works. Sounds like a great book to look into for a CoDA study.
> And despite killing ten times as many people as COVID

That's an INCREDIBLY disingenuous comparison considering that COVID-19 has been with us for less than two years.

And, though I object to your characterization of said measures, extreme measures weren't taken because you couldn't catch it just via proximity. Also important to point out one big similarity - denial of both was used to dehumanize swathes of the population who were especially vulnerable.

>Can I get a loan without 100%+ collateral yet

This is quite common in trust less scenarios. We call them pawn shops or "empeños' in México. They are one of the most important lending instruments over here given the high default rates and lack of legal means to get money back for a non-collateralized loan.

Hey @debarshri! I appreciate your feedback! Thanks so much!

Go-Zepto was designed to be a Full-Stack web framework. So, we can have all ecosystem to create and build web pages. It wraps up assets (JS and CSS), templates, and make you able to create pages quickly. (Blogs, Portals, LandingPages).

For microservices, or pure backend applications (when assets and template are not necessary) I would go with go-kit, that is the best option in my opinion.

And the "lightweight" is used compared to frameworks from others languages.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback.

> Many companies have not returned to the office. We are not back to normal.

This is the new normal (thankfully). Government regulations or not, management will not be able to force people back in the office. Office culture was a quirk of the 20th century. A halfway house between the assembly line and the internet. Covid just forced its inevitable collapse.
> "“A big question mark there is long COVID,” says Yonatan Grad, an immunologist and infectious-disease researcher at Harvard.

Correction: Apparently I remembered wrongly and the issue with e2ee in WA is more complex.

I am sorry for any factually wrong implications my comment had. In effect however, if WA triggers a key change, WA might be able to create a third party key that matches the exchanged keys.

>Going to university means a few more years of them not being able to work full-time and contribute to the household income. But for sure, if education was free it would improve access to education and restore some balance.

In Poland you can attend higher edu institutions on weekends and work meanwhile.

It often costs you like 1.x * minimal wage per semester, thus in total like 17K PLN for bachelor/engineering degree (3.5 years).

I did it, those a few years will be hard for you when it comes to free time, but I think it's decent trade off, especially if your job is already related to what you're studying, so this way you can have both: degree and work experience.
Since no one under 16 has been vaccinated yet, about 70% of the population is vaccinated (44M out of 67M). That might be barely enough for herd immunity for some diseases, but the case numbers in the UK are still very high and trending back upward, showing that this isn't enough for herd immunity for Covid.

Hospitalization rates are also back up to significantly higher than they were this time last year.

And that's with the restrictions you're referring to. So, no, I don't think that it would make sense for the UK to just go right back to normal just yet, at least until the vaccinations rates are high enough that you see the case rate go back down and stay down.
