Where can we report the cultural violation?

Seriously though:

> “What we have here is a protest that does not seek to improve employees’ terms and conditions of employment,” but rather “a purely political protest that sought to use Google’s government contracts, or potential government contracts, as leverage,” he said.

> Google violated the law “to discourage employees from engaging in” legally-protected activism, according to a July complaint issued by labor board prosecutors.

How hard will the Labor Board fight to protect employee political speech? It seems like a different level of concern compared to pursuing reasonable working conditions for workers.
it's literally easier to move your money overseas to an international broker than to try to operate here, which is what people with enough money do.

we tried to invest some backup cash we had in a company here a couple a years ago and it was a nightmare. the only way to operate was through phone calls.

EDIT: I read a bit to the check the current state of affairs and it's still complicated, and apparently there is a currency conversion process that is hit by a very heavy fee. Something similar happens with credit cards, when we pay for a service or product in a foreign currency we get charged a 65% tax that puts the official USD exchange rate in line with the real one.
They also have a corporate email policy where mails get auto-deleted after 18 months, unless you apply labels or are on a litigation hold (which would make such policy completely illegal). The email policy has no other purpose than to limit legal exposure. There is no legitimate business reason for that policy. In fact, it actively harms institutional memory and is frankly Orwellian, IMHO.
We should eliminate the corporate income tax to create a greater diversity you companies with goals more complex and nuanced then: for profit or non-profit.
That it uses SQLAlchemy bring the scenes is a deal breaker for me.
Until now, container was only way to provide isolation boundary which as process. With WASM, we can provide very fine level isolation and execution control.

You can compile almost any language to WASM not just Rust. For example, Python, Go, Javascript: https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs.
A friend once pointed out that it's likely a majority of "amateur" porn is likely private content from hacked or stolen accounts and wasn't posted by the any of the parties depicted.

He mentioned this when a bunch of stories were coming out about GeekSquad and other IT help as a service companies stealing data or acting as data harvesters for the FBI/DEA etc.
I disconnect from WiFi. It makes my “smart” tv a normal one that doesn’t serve my shitty ads, lag or turn on some random SamsungTV channel.
Comments like are so bizarre to me.

Google, Microsoft etc we know for a fact do server side scanning of photos for CSAM. Apple should be assumed to do the same.

So what exactly is the difference if this is done client or server side. The person being hacked would still be investigated by the FBI.
Which one does the US do better?
Oh you just said "crypto," you never mentioned a currency. Do we get to include the overcollateralized stablecoins or are we just cherrypicking volatile ones?

Do you have any experience buying or using cryptocurrency in the last 10 years?
So private health like in the US that is not tied to any government would fix that? ;)

I don't see that argument as refutation of my argument :)

Because party you don't support is running the system does not mean that when party you support it will get better. I don't believe any party has that much influence over what is happening in health care anyway or is able to fix it.
But then they don't allow me to have root at the same time. They claim it is for security reasons but fail to explain why and get really unfriendly. Maybe some power-trip? So now I can choose between vendor lock-in and random-programmer-lock-in.

Orbital rocket companies have far fewer options. They want to be as south as possible with nothing but water for quite a ways.

Googler, opinion is my own.

When I started at Google in 2015, in my first week here chatting with some peers, some of them were complaining about some of our policies around Android and that they much preferred Apple (the person didn't work anywhere near Android, but was complaining about it more as a user).

There are many people at Google that have issues with various parts of Google's businesses. Some are more vocal about it than others. One great example was Brad Fitzpatrick complaining about the first-gen Nest smoke alarms (2015): https://twitter.com/bradfitz/status/566072337020112896

Who gets thrown in the clink? How about "as many as possible, and the higher up the better"?

"We can't jail them all" does not imply "therefore jail none of them".

Precedents matter. The precedent that was set is "widespread fraud is fine; if enough people are in on it, nobody can be jailed". Is that really the precedent we want?

Slightly related: I've always loved the clicking sounds used in a number of (South) African languages. Xhosa for example has 6 different clicking sounds [0].

It's so surprising to me that English and most other languages don't make use of any clicking sounds whatsoever.

"bodies in big rigs in NYC -- they were shown to highlight the need for social distancing, masking, induce a sense of panic etc among the public - something that the media and party was game to."

So you recognize that this was intended to help save further lives but you're unhappy about it?

"the bodies in elderly homes - a political decision (there were alternatives to sending infected seniors back into these homes), and the media hid it, ostensibly to protect their masters."

Who are these masters of the media that were somehow protecting themselves by not covering bodies in elderly homes? Are they the owners of the elderly homes who don't want to get sued into oblivion?
Pfizer CEO says a vaccine-resistant coronavirus variant is 'likely' to emerge
Smart TVs are an obvious cash grab from TV manufacturers. When a new [Roku|Apply TV|Fire Stick] comes out, a consumer only has to buy that device itself to get access to new features. They don't buy a new tv. In this way "Smart" TVs are a way for TV manufacturers to bond the two devices so that consumers will be locked out of new developments eventually where they'll obviously buy a new TV because they've been conditioned to and because they know the TVs UI and switching is harder.
In general social media is a big negative for people. Just because some of them find it useful doesn't change that.
I had more space in my network rack than near my desk, so I bought a cheap Rosewill rackmountable ATX case, and rebuilt my old desktop into it (since I pretty much only use my laptop these days).

But I agree that buying old Dell servers for home use is rather silly at this point.
It would be cool if we end up with an OpenWRT-type situation for Smart TVs. We establish some rooting procedures for some popular models, and then root it or replace the OS.
Social media is different from a utility, a publisher, and a public space. It has its own uniqueness and nuances. Trying to shoehorn it into existing frameworks is not sufficient to solve the problems.

This might be a shot in the dark, but: is there a Twitter "frontend"* that is as clean/compact as HN or even old.reddit? I get it was made with phones in mind, and that its primary use case is real-time news and short messages from influencers, but, as someone who primarily consumes social media on a desktop and whose interactions with the platform consist of reading tweets from niche accounts, i've found the way Twitter displays conversations to be -much- worse than what we have here on HN.

*I use "frontend" quite liberally here, i mean, honestly maybe a browser plugin that shrinks a tweet to half its size, indents replies much like HN comments are indented, and loads more tweets in a single page, maybe that would be enough to make Twitter 90% more pleasant to use.

Phone Call Reminders vs Text Reminders vs Email Reminders
We've seen more decentralized and sophisticated attacks of the same type against iCloud ("the fappening" etc.) which were kept mostly private for years before being made public.

The fact that those hacks quickly were flushed from the news cycle without a bunch of public lawsuits etc. makes me suspect Apple very proactively went out and made settlements with the more high profile victims of those hacks. Of course, I have no proof of this at all, so it's purely speculation, but it was odd to see almost nothing come out of those hacks.
It seems like global is a requirement for newindexing on _G (or if _G is even a thing in Nelua) from the documentation unless I'm reading it incorrectly.
It's only an attack vector in the minds of people who haven't given it more than 10 seconds of thought.

Apple knows the sync dates of all of the photos that are uploaded. So unless someone has hacked your account and has been directly trickle feeding CSAM for years (without you noticing) then it's going to look suspicious. A big dump of lots of CSAM at one particular timestamp is a pretty easy thing to spot.

And then in this case they aren't hacking the phone but the account which means Apple is going to notice a set of photos coming from an IP address they haven't seen used from that account before.
The well-known parable of the hare and the scorpion - or the man/woman and the snake or the same thing in any of its guises - comes to mind here: Apple thought it could appease the mob by playing the DIE [1] game, flying a few rainbow flags and saying some words in the required lingo. The mob handily made use of Apple's eagerness to seem hip to the new thing by launching an inside attack on... Apple, the company which hired them to stave off just those attacks. This is neither unexpected nor undeserved, in fact I'd go so far as saying that any company which tries to appease the mob deserves to get burnt by it. The lesson to be learned here is not that these companies are rife with all those oppressive things they are being accused of by the mob, nor that the companies necessarily deserve to be burnt. It is that they should not ever think they can get away from the mob by giving in to its demands. Just like those who live by the sword run the risk of dying by it, those who invite the mob often end up succumbing to it.

I bought a "premium" Roku box brand new for I believe $90 so I could have one with an ethernet cable. That was 3 years ago and it's currently supremely buggy. It goes green, black, crashes mid episode, if I skip a few times within a few seconds the audio might desync. It was already bad but I got a new speaker system and hooked it up to an AV receiver and it instantly got several times worse. I don't know if my experience is typical but 3 years is a disappointing lifetime for something like this IMO.
I read a certain amount of entitlement in TFA too. Like "I deserve to have my site on the front page of Google, rather than its paid advertisers or its own pages".

Why? This isn't a government-provided public service. It's a commercial product. Why should they direct traffic to your site for free? They, like everyone else, walk the line between providing an excellent product for customers and creating revenue for shareholders.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Google since they stopped not being evil. But I'm not sure that having a competing set of search engines would solve the author's problem - they would be writing passionate blog posts about "why can't we have a single set of SEO rules so I can get my site to the front page of all of them with no hassle?"

If you look at the accident maps, there are almost none on single track roads and lots on twin track roads. My hypothesis is that driving on a single track road feels much more risky so people pay more attention and slow down more on blind corners. Also, it’s not possible to overtake and a lot of accidents are related to overtaking.
It means using the "guest token" (gt) for sending GraphQL queries. The gt is public and is distributed via the twitter.com public web page. The gt is the same for every member of the public.

To see the gt, read the contents of twitter.com

For example, using Chrome

chrome view-source:mobile.twitter.com
Ctrl-F gt=

or curl

curl https://mobile.twitter.com|grep -o gt=[0-9]*

To retrieve tweets three steps are required: 1. retrieve the "guest token" (gt), 2. retrieve the "REST ID" (rest_id) for the twitter.com user and 3. submit a GraphQL query to retrieve the user's tweets.

Javascript provided by Twitter in the twitter.com can do these three steps automatically (but this requires using a Javascript-enabled browser), or it can be done without a browser, e.g., with a different scripting language (personally I use the shell).

For example, some folks use Python:

That's not just Google though. Most companies have an email deletion policy that auto-deletes emails after a certain about of time, on the premise that they eventually lose all value and only pose a potential liability and litigation risk.

Even U.S. government officials have used private email servers to avoid having to serve them up via requests.
That would create a whole lot of other problems and probably some performance penalty, because strings are much, much more difficult to work with in the context of a kernel filesystem driver.

You already completely answered the perfectly standard and reasonable business reason: "to limit legal exposure. "

Thank you AnimalMuppet for your point of view.

I do agree that "Socialism is social ownership of the means of production" is one aspect of socialism. But its only one of many aspects that fall under socialism. Socialism has been reduced to that aspect in the recent years, but that doesnt invalidate the other aspects. (see my above post with the 4 aspects of socialism)

Id argue govermental healthcare does produce something and it's govermentally owned. So especially that should, even under the "Socialism ... means of producton", be socialistic.

A loan is usually a product that banks provide. Afaik usually the goverment does not give loans. So id assume even that qualifies as "Socialism ... means of producton".

You could argue that the goverment is not "social ownership". But in my opinion that is exactly the base of what a democracy constitutes.

I'd wonder where you dont agree.
I don't think this is what people actually want, but it's definitely what people tolerate.

Would be interesting to know if big manufacturers then only sell their most dependable models in the NZ market, in order to avoid the costs that they can avoid in more business-friendly markets like the US.

It would be a good way to decide which products to buy. Is this (equivalent) model sold in New Zealand? If so, it's probably known by the manufacturer to be solid. If not, avoid it at all costs.

I suppose you count those as wins for yourself, but it seems smart and safe to insist on turning over control in that situation. Humans don't have a safe failure mode like that where they will stop driving or surrender control to an automated system when intoxicated, falling asleep, and so on.

That whole article could be summarized to just a few words
The failure modes are going to be very strange and the technology is not strictly comparable to a human driver. It is going to fail in ways that a human never would. Not recognizing obstacles, misrecognizing things, sensors being obscured in a way humans would recognize and fix (you would never drive if you couldn't see out of your eyes!).

It is also possible that if it develops enough it will succeed in ways that a human cannot, such as extremely long monotonous cross-country driving (think 8 hour highway driving) punctuated by a sudden need to intervene within seconds or even milliseconds. Humans are not good at this but technology is. Autonomous cars don't get tired or fatigued. Code doesn't get angry or make otherwise arbitrary and capricious decisions. Autonomous cars can react in milliseconds, whereas humans are much worse.

There will undoubtedly be more accidents if the technology is allowed to develop (and I take no position on this).
So many of these posts gainsaying the practice of a home lab are spot on. In my view it's plain foolish to try and cram enterprise gear into a living space. It's almost too hot and loud for my office, why would I take any of that home?

The other posts talking about Tiny Mini Micros are on the right track but I think it goes further yet - there's good reason to have a small rack of crap in the corner:

- ISP hardware.

- pfSense gateway.

- Wifi base station.

- A good gigabit switch for the house.

- Those tiny mini micros or Mac minis for lab stuff.

- a NAS chassis or two.

- Raspberry Pi clusters.

- PiDP-11 or other such hobby stuff that needs a place to sit and blink.

There are plenty of other uses too, like security DVRs, ingest stations for cameras/recorders, optical and tape media devices, etc.

None of that stuff is hot or loud, but you probably wouldn't want it piled up on your desk or spilling out of some bookshelf. And I think the article kinda gets at that point, tbh.

APIs are rate-limited all the time. Compensating for being throttled or paginated isn't scraping.

Scraping is the act of extricating data from the layout and markup metadata meant to make it pretty for humans.

APIs generally don't include any of that, your HTML-in-a-JSON-object example notwithstanding.

I'd have no objection to calling it scraping when you strip those <P> tags, but aggregating the results of several API queries is bog-standard textbook API usage, which we use the term scraping to differentiate from.
