The problem you might run into is that if you're not spending at least 330 days out of every 365-day period abroad or, alternatively, don't establish bona fide residence in a foreign country, if you're an American citizen or permanent resident you will still be required to have health insurance that qualifies as minimum essential coverage under the ACA, or pay a penalty.

These expat health insurance plans are designed for expats living abroad, not US residents who spend time (even a significant amount) outside of the US each year.

> The 996 working hour system (Chinese: 996工作制) is a work schedule practiced by some companies in the People's Republic of China. It derives its name from its requirement that employees work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week; i.e. 72 hours per week.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

No doubt he's done a good job, but he also inherited a great company which was obviously already full of great people.

He has done surprisingly well during his time there, but Apple has shifted more into a monopolistic, protectionist company with declining software/hardware quality compared to when Steve Jobs was running it.

From an investor standpoint, he's done quite well. And since his reward is based on stock value, I'd say he's earned it. But I wouldn't say he's 100X or more talented than an average experienced business leader.

> it was not clear from the article what happens to the lebanese cash that was used to purchase USDT

They are purchasing using hard cash (ie USD) outside Lebanon and then transferred there. The article is a bit confusing but this is the key bit:

An agent in Nigeria will collate these sums, buy USDT, and send it to one of the top-level suppliers in Lebanon. Once they have sold it on, they will disburse cash to the originally intended recipient of the remittance.

It's a way to transfer USD (value) to your family in Lebanon. The dealer in Lebanon gets Tether (from the agent in Nigera), and gives cash USD to the family in Lebanon, minus their commission.

The Lebanese pound is never used.
>Developers can communicate directly with customers about alternative payment options. Customers have to consent and be given the right to opt-out.

>Apple ceded some ground on issues of interest to developers but gets to keep (at least for now) key structures of its App Store, including the overall commission structure of the store as well as its prohibition against using rival app stores or in-app payment mechanisms

So are alternative payment methods going to work? Or is it that this is only allowed after you direct a user to an external URL? Would embedded browsers be ok to process the IAPs?

I have come to the conclusion that working hard is basically rolling the dice. You can roll your dice in a single game or change games or even multiple games simultaneously.

Good luck dealing with Hezbollah with mere cash.

Edit: Judging by the downvotes, people aren't aware that Hezbollah is a major political party in Lebanon holding 13 seats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_political_activities

They also have their own private army:

The Taif Agreement signed in October 1989 to end of the Lebanese civil war, besides other things, called for the disarmament of all national and non-national militias. Hezbollah was allowed to stay armed in its capacity as a "resistance force" rather than a militia

I have remarked upon your numbers in another comment. Why do your own math based on outdated newspaper articles and statistics websites when there are scientific publications and FDA documents to draw upon? Calculating the crude chance of death based on population averages is misleading, because those will have risk groups massively over-represented.
Make your own.

Stuff that is closely integrated with the build system could be hard for beginners to add but if you just want a package or two they are easy to add.

I'm kinda torn between the current top comment pointing out how immersive everything is, the current top reply remarking about the eyebrow-raising amount of furry representation, and this perspective.

The graphics are indeed really bad.

The background noise also seems to be poorly managed.

And the avatars are visually striking just to the point of being very distracting.

But I have not the first clue how to fix any of these issues. The graphics have to exceed 70fps cannot drop frames or you risk users getting nausea (and not using the platform!), the audio chat works just like every other audio chat out there - badly, and the I looked into the avatar situation and discovered that, contrary to my own intuition (where avatars would incorporate lightweight, aggressively CPU-throttled control programs that could arbitrarily direct how emoting works etc), you basically get a restrictive SDK that's just *upgraded* to the point where you have like 16 different things your avatar can do.

It's simultaneously utterly inspiring and an absolute dumpster fire. I "got" VRChat for the first time when I discovered this last week and have been awkwardly conflicted about it ever since.
Are you proposing that we should filter this article?
Some distros are far less buggy then others... IE: I don't have any issues in Arch, but I did with Manjaro (often there was bugs that prevented updates to complete successfully).
Thanks for your "clarification", however I don't think you've fully grokked the situation yourself.

I think the thing that was referred to as a "fork" was the docker image, which uses the package you mention, and afaik is the primary way that people are receiving that package and believing it to be blessed by the Alpine gods. In the sense that the container is a distribution in its own right that deviates from the roadmap of the Alpine makers, it could be considered a fork of sorts. And given that the package naming is far less confusing than the dockerhub naming, I feel like that's what most people on HN are attributing the confusion to.

Note that the article doesn't mention that it's the container that is the source of confusion until the very last section, where it points out what they want to rename. The package itself is called alpine-pkg-glibc and as the author of that package has pointed out, the reason it is called that is to follow alpine package naming conventions, and they have mentioned on this HN convo that they are completely open to changing that name if asked.

But regarding the docker image, I'm well aware that this isn't technically a full fork; I was mirroring the language used on the parent poster - however, since your clarification does not do justice to the complexity of the situation either and implies that you have less clue about what you're talking about, maybe tone it down a bit. Especially since one possible solution to this situation is indeed for the frolvlad/alpine-glibc authors to produce a full fork of Alpine linux with glibc and call it something else (I wonder if Himilayan Linux is available?)

Orc: Detect and report nefarious ODR violations in C++
I see your point and I'm not contradicting you, but I do feel that this expectation of comfort is the main hook that locked down technology is using to get us. Once we're used to it we don't easily give it up. But I think it leads to passivity. And once everything is catered to the lowest common denominator, it starts to get in the way of any usage out of the ordinary.
Even if you use byte code, the driver will have to compile your shader for the target hardware. It won't be nearly as fast as what the game does on console - loading a blob in GPU memory. It will definitely be faster than compiling a text representation, but still not fast enough to skip the uebershader.

That's not how it works. Cryptocurrency is not geographically bound.
All what you describe requires the precursor of you throwing the dice to see what happens.

>You can achieve that by finding something you have a natural aptitude for, or for which you have the right environment to succeed at.

Again to explore this requires you to throw the dice and you will stumble upon it. Also aptitudes change with time and to explore the next aptitude requires you to throw the dice. You should also be lucky that you will get to throw the dice.
> 10x CEOs are much harder to find

Considering how much CEOs who lose massive a mounts at companies get rehired elsewhere I seriously doubt that in most cases a monkey with a typewriter would do worse. Plenty of possible CEOs to hire and easy to find, they just don't have the connections to get hired because they are in the Zoo. (/s if sarcasm was not effectively implied)
I think you can say that about anyone who makes anything based on work from anyone else. While it's important to recognise those others (as those at Apple with stock based compensation have been), I don't think it nullifies the point because they didn't do all the work themselves.

You're actually right about that.

Windows has been on the user experience decline for some time now. Rather than looking for ways to improve the user experience, they are looking for creative ways to introduce Microsoft Teams. Windows 7, while aged (and possibly viewed through nostalgia), was a pretty amazing cohesive experience.

There is literally nothing I do now that Windows 10 does better than Windows 7 (other than the actual requirement for software support). Not only does 10 take longer to start-up, but the start menu was destroyed and the new Microsoft Store app design (UWP?) is hideous and unintuitive.

I tolerate Windows now because of software support. I have nowhere else to play my games and don't even think about VR on a non-windows platform.

MacOS is certainly a better example of cohesive design (with some caveats, like their Window management is from the 90s).

I would love to see a Linux desktop environment take the best things from MacOS and the best things from Windows. Gnome 40 is _really_ close and that makes me very happy

Who’s Who in the Taliban’s “Inclusive” New Administration
I had been waiting for the next announcement. This is the latest move in a series in service of the overarching policy, "increase fertility".

In 2015 the CCP became aware the country was falling off a demographic cliff. It has the example of Japan, whose working-age population has been decreasing since 1997. And it can see the same development in South Korea.

At the time the party responded by altering the one child policy to two children.

Since then it's been lifted to three. That was followed by tax breaks and offering parental leave. (In minuscule quantities, but dilution happens when policy directives filter down from the top.)

Once low fertility has become ingrained in a culture, it takes a lot more than that to turn it around, though. Especially with other anti-fertility head winds (below).

This year the party has:

- put limits on for-profit tutoring and banned teaching the school syllabus to under-sixes--the costs of these were seen as a major road block to having more than one child.

- publicly compared video games to opium (which probably has immense cultural resonance), and acted to limit on-line shopping/personal finance-- both alternative uses of time to the "delights of domestic society".

- and now the party has acted to reduce the effect work has on fertility by helping people to have some time and energy left after work. (Which time and energy it would be inadvisable to spend on video games or shopping, given the panopticon in China.)

----

The party will need to go further, though. There are still a lot of things in the way of having more than one child. The party will have to alter the hukou system so that children can attend schools and medical facilities in the cities where their parents work rather than in the villages where they officially live. It will have to reform the gaokao college entrance exam system.

It will also have to act to curb housing prices (Chinese men basically can't get a partner unless they own housing), and it will have to raise retirement ages and introduce a pension so that people don't have to save so desperately to support their parents and then themselves in old age. (Retirement is at 55 for women in China--or was until recently.)

I expect raising retirement ages to come soon, maybe in two years. However, once a generation has been raised in which one-child familes is the norm, it's difficult to lift fertility to two or more children.

> First, how do you use cryptocurrencies with limited access to electricity?

You only need to charge your phone once per day. If power goes out, no problem. If you have no electricity at home somebody close by probably has a phone charging business.
Unreasonable how?

That sounds kinda interesting/fun.

FWIW, given that you're running a game, and most people run games fullscreen, without anything else going, you can probably get away with not using virtualization, aka eating 100% CPU (or at least 100% of one core)... and even then, with most systems having >4 cores nowadays, you probably needn't worry at all.

But just to clarify the corollary, this implementation is running at around 250kHz (!). You wouldn't viably run Linux like this in a practical context anytime soon.

Nope. Spotify divides the whole subscription revenue per content's share in total time being played, thus it doesn't matter if you listen exclusively to some garage band - your money would go to whatever pop is now topping.
Every company begins somewhere. If you want new companies to make it, allowing for there to continue to be 'plenty of opportunities' in the future, then accepting that there are times when repairing the ~sins~ necessities of the past is reasonable.
I dislike Steve jobs as much as the average person but his answer to the succession question was probably the best decision he ever made.

From that page:

“Because Unicode Standard is a character encoding standard and not the Universal Encyclopedia of Writing Systems and Character Identity, the stability and uniqueness of published character names is far more important than the correctness of the name. The published character names are normative for the purposes of the Unicode standard and the large number of other IT standards that reference it. These standards require stable identifiers and character names must therefore be immutable — any change of character names is almost as disruptive of the standards as changing code points for characters would be. Accordingly, the Unicode Consortium has adopted the Name Stability Policy, preventing changes in character names. As a result, errors in character names cannot be corrected. Instead, important character name anomalies anomalies (SIC) are documented with annotations in the Unicode Character Code Charts.”

Also because somebody, somewhere, might have used those names to look up Unicode code points.

Part of each Unicode release is a file named “UnicodeData.txt” (https://unicode.org/Public/13.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), so those strings are public information.

Well, the US and Europe call themselves capitalist, yet there are huge barriers to enter some of the fields (e.g. in the Czech Republic the number of mobile operators is defined by law, essentially a state-imposed oligopol).
