How long can a democracy maintain emergency limits and still call itself free?

Up to the point when laws and government stop being about limiting the violence, never adding to it. Instead they become a way for leadership and the powerful to do whatever they want, unrestrained from those laws. A chopped tree does not mean a sharp ax. An enslaved people does not mean the master can crack the whip. Their power derives from weak people. Once the people are strong, their power goes away.

marxists say the only correct speech panders to power, and speech which unleashes the covid pandemic is allowed. marxists can't speak perfectly. They can't tell others how to speak perfectly.

Russia's authoritarians and the jihadist leaders have no restraints. Give it enough time, barbarity returns and they tear each other apart. The ones unburdened without the facade of civilization have the advantage. They would be better off dropping the charade and openly saying it's no holds battle royale on the Serengeti.

Liberal democracies with their protected classes through mob rule are arbitrary. Popularity fails against contradictions, impossibilities, and dissolution. You are more focused on giving bin Laden a vote and appeasement through celebrity than you are in doing your job. You end up attacking your own for money and power.

Are leaders restrained by laws to limit violence? Is life there for people to live it, instead of people being some piece of inventory to be chewed up and spit out? If not, don't do it. Go away.

> I'm not a developer. I need to work. I just need a computer to work on and have video calls with a bluetooth mic. Not doable on Linux after spending $1500 on a new computer.

I'm not convinced that's a good argument. Shouldn't every bag of coffee you buy include a camera that reports any illegal activity to the government? A lot of criminals drink coffee, after all!
What OS?

I have a 2+-year old Darter Pro, running Pop OS 20.10, which has been wonderful. Bluetooth just works (as long as there is only one user attempting to use it), the mic just works, the mouse just works. Also, System76 support is the best I've encountered since I bought my first computer in the 80s.
Not really production, but hobby project:

I found the documentation to be good. I remember looking at it and finding whatever I was looking for, thinking: "It's all here!" Even stuff, that I do not fully understand like CK-macros (http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/ck-macros).

There was one issue though, which stopped my hobby project: Support for UTF-8 in display seems to be broken: http://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1374 As I tried to build a vocabulary trainer, I had to switch to another Scheme.

The web framework called "awful" (http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/awful#description) seemed nice too.
Not in all cases.

That's fairly typical of any large company.

But that's also mean that you are not shown the door by being rejected internally because you are as unknown as an external candidate, and the fact that you are an internal candidate won't make any difference. In fact, depending on company politics, being an internal candidate may even be a disadvantage.
Ctrl+Shift+V is great, when it works. Which it doesn't annoyingly often, such as Atlassian's Confluence wiki. So I paste and re-copy things in the URL bar all the time. Ctrl + L V A X
Are there any ongoing clinical trials? This definitely looks like groundbreaking research. What does the safety profile look like in comparison to using implanted devices to treat epilepsy, etc.
Some companies use Java as cross-platform, STMicro comes to mind. Their stuff is wonky, and that's possibly because they don't have committed UI/UX designers, but it is consistent cross-platform.
Seems like the unspoken story here isn't really about Apple, it's that the govts of the world want access to your phone data and its backups. They're already getting some of it from exploits, telcos and the cloud. They'll be back and will keep coming and it's hard to imagine any company will have the ability to stand up to them without seriously impacting their business.
In fairness, this kind of mistake is the kind I’d expect a junior to make, and only the once.

Putting time outs and other error handling around remote endpoints is prettier much the first lesson you’re taught when interfacing with remote end points.

Yes mistakes happen and I’ve seen other companies ship products that have failed in similar ways, but I’ve always believed Microsoft is thought of as a FANNG and to see a school boy error in their flag ship product a couple of months before it ships really makes me question the standard of leadership running the team.

Who’s QAing it? Why wasn’t those functions covered in unit tests? Who peer reviewed that code? And who’s running the development teams that allow all this guardrails to fail? It’s not just one engineer who had to fuck up to cause that bug.
Yes, and then you have Wifi, touchpads, graphic cards, web cams... It's amazing that we even have a working OS honestly.

Does your mic work in the headphones?

These were Sony XM3 in particular. After installing a bunch of software through the CLI I got them to play sound.

But the mic never worked. I saw similar stories online of everyone just saying "stick with wired mics".
For those downvoting this:

1. Pick a country in Europe you think is doing well

2. Check the stats for sept 3 2021 and sept 3 2020. The hospitalization, ICU and death stats. For death use the 7 day average

Guarantee the stats are worse. Also any normal respiratory virus gets worse when some ends.

Maybe it will work out well. But Europe had the same hubris last summer.
I believe you mean the 83(b) election.
This pretty much sums up sprints, extra meetings at start and end, less flexibility (we don’t want to change the scope of the sprint) and generally worse for everyone.

I wish some of Kanban was more widely accepted, especially things like making sure you have enough worked planned in the backlog to just keep taking tasks and working on them till completion.
You can also run without Google Play, but there are tradeoffs you will make to do so.
Maybe that was a terrible example, although I could be wrong.

It kind of makes sense actually, of course I hear of more developers being hostile to other developers compared to say mechanics, but that could be because I hear from more developers full stop. There's probably a term for it and everything.

That being said, I'm sure I've come across a lot more camaraderie amongst other professions than developers. Anecdotally, I know theres been a few times I've complained about or seen people complain about a certain profession and seen a wave of posts come in from other workers defending them. Then again, its possible those just stick out in my mind more than the many times that presumably hasn't happened.
I'd argue the biggest hurdle isn't even what you like or dislike, it's that when someone gets used to you being in a given position, that's all they see in you. I actually had that happen at one point in my career, kept getting an "I don't think you're ready". When I finally told them I'm leaving if it doesn't happen, they did the right thing. Afterwards I got a lot of "I'm sorry I pushed back, I couldn't see you in that role but you're killing it!"

I think sometimes management is their own worst enemy in not taking a chance on their own people.
I get why they'd need to support all that for 3rd party app backwards compatibility, but surely for their own OS they can just use the current toolkit for everything? They own it after all.

Hang on, we’ve had literally thousands of years with stores where you could pick up an item and run away, but don’t.

There is now are organized shoplifting crime groups, and your solution is to design specialized vending machines for teeth whitening strips, phone chargers, etc?

I’m not saying it is a net good to deploy violence on poor people. But don’t you suppose that society would benefit overall if there were physical and clear legal consequences to shoplifting?

Or do you really want the world to use vending machines for everything? Aren’t you concerned about climate change? Where do you suppose all those vending machines would come from what how are they powered?
Out of curiosity, where exactly was this? The term Western Europe is way too broad geographically and can mean anything between Portugal or Germany for example and the difference between those two countries is huge.
If employee steals from store, they're fired and arrested.

If store steals from an employee, they're told to pound sand at a state level office and hope and pray that some mid-level bureaucrat looks into the issue and writes a "stern letter".
The fact that they are going to sneak this backdoor in the back door later against the wishes of their customers is sufficient for me to decide that Apple has abandoned any values they may have once had.

I won't be purchasing any more iPhones, and I've had every one.
I have Airpods as well as Jabra Elite 65t, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and various Plantronics. The Apple are the only ones that are wonky. There seems to be some other protocol for them that needs to be enabled, but I didn't bother and just switched to the Galaxy Buds Pro (the Jabras are excellent as well.)

The very first DDG result for "airpods linux bluetooth" is this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/922860/pairing-apple-airpods...
What the... ? Why is that worth remembering? Just reading that code makes me feel dirty, let alone deploying it! ;-)

What makes you say that?

The stated ranges for the trucks include towing a load. Without the load, the range increases quite a bit.

I'll mostly use it for family adventuring -- weekend skiing, camping, cycling.
> In basically every situation I can think of, the browser is less fickle, more consistent, and more backwards compatible than an app store.

There is no guarantee of anything from any web app. Your data can be used for anything the provider likes. There are literally no guidelines.

> The only benefit to using an app over a website is offline access - which is moot if you don't have the app installed already

In almost every single use case you will have the app installed already.

Electron solves literally no problems with web apps. Electron apps are not web apps and do not run in the browser. Web apps do not use electron. The fact that some code may be portable between the two is irrelevant to the user.
AWS is going away because someone took down an ISIS website? That's a bold claim that borders on free speech absolutist fantasy land.
Does this mean that existing Python code - like dependencies on pypi won't be generally compatible?

Without metaclasses and dynamic types I think it's better to call the language something else, and say it's Python-inspired (like Elm is Haskell-inspired)
This is a toughy.

People who don't believe in covid vaccines -- for instance -- are living in a world of anecdotes, untrusting of easily manipulable data.

But it's where we're at. In a world where you can't trust the data and your friends are addicted to consuming propaganda, what the fuck is truth?
I'm not going to defend the government's action, but when it's the actual Taliban, they skip straight to drone strikes, nevermind the collateral. That the Davidians held an army off with a few peashooters is a question of military restraint much more than effectiveness of the militia
Also, there is a desire to avoid disrupting two teams rather than one. "We need you here Bob."
That's the name of my Rage Against the Machine tribute band.
I think still likely to quit, just less likely.

I believe based on the rest of the study that people who are attempting to transfer internally care about the team/company/work area but want the mobility and if you hire external candidates they don't believe they will have a chance at other roles either (which they perceive will be biased toward external candidates as well)
How's fit and finish on those?

Build quality is a big deal. I feel like the midline for PC makers is pretty low -- Dell has mostly been kinda trashy, though the XPS machines have a good feel to them (it's a shame they've been kind of lemony for us).

Absent the keyboard kerfluffle, Apple's build quality has traditionally been very high -- IME, on par with the IBM-era ThinkPads in the sense that the hardware lasts longer than technical viability. How is S76 here?
The last iteration (or epoch) of SGD is not shipped with the trained model. The point just does not stand. There are other (better) arguments for why such models are derivative works.

Basically the argument starts with a claim (you can reconstruct the training set of model X from its weights alone) and then shows something totally different. Of course you can reconstruct from the gradient updates plus the weights—that's not interesting, nor does it support the claim.
I like the idea of Apple as a bridge to the global awakening of Linux :)
It is unlikely. But that can actually happen.

A catastrophic failure of the head unit can impact the electrical system which can do weird things with the spark plugs or other systems.
The hackintosh is still going to have the ability to do CSAM scanning fwiw.
This could benefit the soil as less land will be needed to produce the same amount of food. This would allow more land to lie dormant with nitrogen fixing plants, allowing wider periods between crop rotations.

The deeper roots could also benefit the soil. Wild plants tend to have deeper roots, and this brings greater biological activity in the depths of the soil - so more of the soil is 'alive'.

These deep-rooted plants are hardier, so less pesticides will be needed, which also benefits the soil. And on the same note they will need less chemical fertilizer because they can access more nutrients from the depths. Again, good for the soil.

On the other hand, if these crops are farmed overly intensely, they will just end up depleting the soil to a greater physical dept, so we'll be back at the same problem, but deeper. But in the meantime, at least we'll have crops that are accessing more soil volume.
Are you sure you didn't get a lemon? I haven't heard of others complaining about System76 BT issues. On the other hand I've heard of many people having BT issues with Apple laptops. BT never worked on one of my work Macbooks.

I'm running PopOS on a Surface Pro 3 and it's nearly flawless, including BT.
I think that might be it, mechanics wasn't really the example I was going for, but I couldn't think of the actual profession (something like an architect I guess). I guess it might just be a trades thing, which as you say makes sense
If UBI (or feral benefits) fulfilled their needs then I doubt that they would resort to crime.
If the people of a country see something as being worth the lost productivity (maternity leave for example), the correct way to handle it would be to legislate it. I agree with sibling commenter that there is an incentive in attracting a wider range of employees for offering benefits that aren't required by law, but I think it's not really enough given the power difference between employees and employers.

Of course, legislative solutions are increasingly impossible in some parts of the world. This is the reason we're relying on companies to make this call.
His point is that it's not ready for the average person. I would not expect the average person to switch from something that works out of the box to having to fiddle with trying to find an answer just to get where they were before.

OP is 100% correct. I also love how you basically say "well it works for me" which is a common answer I seem to hear from so many Linux users. It's like customer support responding "well, I can't recreate the issue."
can one make a full fledged rest API in Java with this?
> likely so they can enable E2EE on everything iCloud.

Refers to facts not in evidence.

Additionally, they have previously voluntarily declined to enable e2e on systems to aid government surveillance.

This is baseless speculation, and, given what we know about Apple's history with e2e, not only baseless but actually unlikely.
iirc the highest rates of vaccine hesitancy are among african americans, orthodox jews, native americans and pacific islanders. unsurprisingly these are all groups with very valid historical reasons to not trust the government. using public health debates as a proxy to dunk on your cultural adversaries is one of the big reasons why our national discourse has become utterly unsalvageable.

One thing I’ve thought about is having some dev hardware or demo hardware required to be intentionally bottom of the barrel.
This is a very simple attack to pull off; email someone with the colliding image embedded in the MIME document. Set height and width equal to zero or one pixel. Even if the user never actually sees it or marks it as spam, it's still on their device and in their email. For bonus points, spoof the "From" as from Apple. At the very least, they're getting SWATted.
I would love to learn more about this topic. Would you care to provide a compelling example of this observation being made with evidence?
Labor arbitrage is efficient production. If you can outsource a job for less than it costs domestically, it means labor is underutilized in the foreign country and can be employed for higher-value uses.

Pretty much any arbitrage is an economic inefficiency being exploited, whether it's financial (information inefficiences), shipping/merchants (geographic & local preference inefficiencies), storage (time preference inefficiencies), outsourcing (labor), etc. And in the course of exploiting it, it makes the inefficiency go away.
Why have REPL at all then?

To many, interactive development and debugging is the main point of the Clojure REPL. (Also true for many dynamic languages.) I take it you don't code and debug using such techniques. Some feel they are a revelation.
Spoiler: Does not answer the question.
Are we optimizing for a fair playing field? Or a playing field where one can be advantaged?

If my authoritarian government bans mining, my energy usage is easy to track down, and I am disadvantaged. If my nation state has an abundance of cheap hydro energy, I am advantaged (and miners flock here to take advantage, centralizing mining into this geographic area).

> Linux is community driven, if somethings not working, try fix it?

That works if you're 20 and studying at university. After wasting over half my awake day at work, the last thing I have energy left for is dealing with random bullshit and tracing down bugs.
Totally! Cash only, no CC trail or delivery address. I lived in Charlotte NC for a brief period and I bought some lock picks from a "spy outlet" store in a mall. They scanned my driver's license and said they needed to keep it on file for a year. This was ... 1992 maybe? Yikes today.
Wouldn't this make it simply a way for the people who trade in these sorts of things to get more information about how to avoid them?

i.e. my iphone told me this photo was in the database, so I'll start adjusting it until it 'passes', and them I'm free to share it without detection.
You don’t eat fertilizer in your food. It is applied to the ground before the plants fruit. It is also water soluble and quickly washes away.

Pesticides aee higly dependent on crop and really have nothing to do with this conversation.
microphone too? What model, I'll get it.
There's also the simple fact that an internal hire is strictly more work for management / hr to deal with.

If a certain position is filled from an internal transfer, that transfer leaves a new open position. Eventually, you need a hire a new person. A chain of internal transfers beforehand is just extra people to train and more paperwork to deal with.
In The Wire, this is called juking the stats.
Ask HN: How do your structure your sale offers?
I work in an agile environment and I find it very hard to make good estimates and sale proposals for new projects. When I make a proposal based on a mockup I feel that it restrains too much the development process, when I don't make a mockup the client always feels the need to ask for continual changes to the UI that don't fit in the original time estimate. What would be a good way to structure an offer offering minimal leeway to the client, while keeping him happy with a good and precise outline of the features that will be delivered?

Take it as a signal of your likelihood to be promoted in the near future. If I'm interested in a promotion, and I get a strong signal, I'm going to stay. If I get a very weak signal, I'm going to go elsewhere.

An interview will generally offer a much stronger signal than a rejection by email
Yeah, a few months ago I wanted to apply for a position in what the firm called its "science" function -- data science with more machine learning (and more PhDs). I even reached out to someone on that side and got some encouraging feedback. It matched up well with my experience and career goals.

But when I applied, I got nothing. Absolute radio silence, while the role just sat there unfilled for weeks. They couldn't at least have shot me an email that I'm not a good fit?
