> (Or, is the information collected not public?)

It's not public. The site was soliciting PII "tips" about abortions. Ostensibly someone might tweet out their address, phone number, name, and having an illegal abortion, in which case it would be public. But in this case, the vast majority of tips aren't going to be public.

The difference with most OSINT stuff is that the information is public in some way or valuable to the public.

Categorically, the site would actually be violating many privacy laws in many states, including things like GDPR. It's definitely a cross-border legal minefield anyways, so it makes a lot of sense why it would be against the terms of service to operate a site specifically to test these boundaries. Sure, it may be a Texas law, but where are the servers? Where are the people submitting the information? Where are the people currently located with information being submitted about? Etc.

It's called the mall and that is basically the rule. You can be asked to leave for no reason at all or be hit with a trespassing charge. A public square is actually public, owned by the public, occupied by the public.

Modern BSDs, macOS, and Solaris certainly have Perl and Python. (iOS and Android don't, but they don't have awk either.) What other Unixes are you thinking of? AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, UnixWare, etc. should be considered retrocomputing at this point and not relevant to modern compatibility discussions.

Linux distros based on busybox, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, are a more compelling reason for considering awk than considerations involving other Unixes.
> forcing 13 year old rape victims to carry children to term

According to Governor Abbott, this won't be a problem because "Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets" [1].

It doesn't.

If you wanna pay your neighbor's kid $15 for 3 hours of lawn mowing, you still can. Unmediated transactions of a certain scale don't require any government oversight, it's only when you start breaking out taxable income that it become a problem.
For some weird reason, "tech" means "consumer software /SaaS". So, Trello or Yelp is tech, while lasers in space are not tech.
Given that the signed law does not define the term "range", I imagine every company could get around this by giving a range $1-1M
The car companies that have the supply chains, the know-how, and now the motivation to electrify (the key component previously missing), will somehow defer to Tesla to build their platforms.

That takes some doing, as GM is finding out with the Bolt EV catch-fire recall, costing them many 100's of millions. Even if they can source the batteries, and get to a minimum level of quality and dependability, they will probably still be far behind in terms of margins, power density, and efficiency -- for several years at least.

Also FYI, 2 out of 3 luxury manufacturers you mentioned already do that with established auto manufacturers

Indeed. And at this point, Tesla is the most established EV manufacturer.
Default stance is should be that there are no negative effects.

You’re basically saying the science is bad yet we should still make conclusions based on it. Which only means those conclusions will also be bad.
Ask HN: It's 2021, where do I go to buy a prebuilt Linux compatible desktop?
I'm doing development work that is maxing out my macbook air laptop, it's time to buy a desktop machine as my daily driver (when I'm at my desk). I need to drive multiple monitors and handle normal CPU and memory intensive tasks, and it needs to be linux compatible out of the box. Where do I go these days?
What this is really describing is what we now call the Overton Window[1], and how it's controlled to a degree. I think it's a mistake to think it can be controlled completely, but depending on the society and the makeup of the media control, more or less control can be exerted. China has much more control over it for their citizens than the United States or the media companies within it, most likely.

Anything that brings clarity with no cost is not an overreach. I don't even apply for companies that do not list salaries. Why would I waste days of time going through an interview process only to be offered burger flipper wages?

Ferarri and Maserati are already part of Fiat. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen.

Edit: My mistake, Maserati is owned by Stellantis, which is the parent company of Fiat's parent company, and Ferrari went independent in 2015. So this does still apply to Ferrari.
When I used to regularly play a particular lane-based MOBA, any time I'd need to react quickly while driving, I'd instinctively feel the need to burst some variation of QWE depending on which character I'd recently been playing.

Sometimes if I practice difficult scales (those with novel movements for weak fingers e.g. left pinky and ring) on the piano before typing on a keyboard, I'll mistype more frequently.

I don't know what we mean by "standard," but I found a number of perl references with the following shell fragment:

$ for x in $(echo $PATH|sed 's/:/ /g'); do file $x/*|grep perl;done

All but two hits were in /usr/sbin, and /usr/bin. I isolated those files with:

$ file /usr/sbin/* | awk '/perl/{sub(/:.*/,"");sub(/^.*[/]/,"");printf "%s, ", $0}';echo ''

The sbin results are:

adduser, fw_update, pkg_add, pkg_check, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_mklocatedb, pkg_sign, rmuser,

There are more in /bin:

$ file /usr/bin/* | awk '/perl/{sub(/:.*/,"");sub(/^.*[/]/,"");printf "%s, ", $0}';echo ''

c2ph, corelist, cpan, enc2xs, encguess, h2ph, h2xs, instmodsh, libnetcfg, libtool, perl, perlbug, perldoc, perlivp, piconv, pkg-config, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2man, pod2text, pod2usage, podchecker, podselect, prove, pstruct, skeyprune, splain, streamzip, xsubpp,

A perl script can't pledge() or unveil(), so I am guessing that anything sensitive has moved to C.

It's absolutely, unequivocally better that these tools be open source (and therefore fixable!) than closed source. My (admittedly small) gripe is just that a large, well-resourced corporation is shifting the maintenance burdens of its product to customers. This situation is certainly better than having to pull out the debugger or beg with customer support.

If they had the ability to pressure someone, why would they not simply be able to press them to show them their tax returns? And would this happen with sufficient frequency to negate the benefits of price transparency?

Norway has had public tax returns for a long time.
Yeah, of course. But some areas in the sea, like close to the city where I live, are in much better shape than they were before I was born. There's plenty of data on that.

The sea in total is not doing great, because of agricultural emissions.
I upvoted you. Tesla did indeed deserve to be called out for this. According to Sandy Munroe, they seem to have learned this lesson, though.

Are they? Or are they making cars that are less efficient, regardless of battery tech?

The Taycan for example, is clearly not focused on being as efficient as possible. It's an opulent car with all the heavy soundproofing and insulation people buying these types of cars expect.

The Mach E is probably the most normal looking EV suv, and it's Cd ends up being the highest of the bunch despite not even having door handles.

I don't think efficiency is the big win people are acting like it is. Just like there are gas guzzlers and econoboxes that get miles and miles per gallon, there will be more or less efficient EVs.

Efficiency by itself is not going to be a differentiator forever because past a certain range figure, most people's needs are met. From there "splurging" an extra 5 cents per mile to have their preferred car is not a problem
Why would who got what medical treatment and who helped with that be public information?
California has a cottage legal industry whereby lawyers will file Unruh Act accessibility claims against businesses. There’s a very low standard on Unruh claims, to the point that some lawyers will work with the same plaintiff repeatedly looking for things like being inches off on doorways etc.

Similarly, Prop 65 allows for direct, private civil suits. Although it has seen some reforms in recent years, it took some really egregious settlements before that happened.

TL;DR: You can thank Californians for importing their crappy legal theories into Texas.

I think transparency laws are a lot more important than minimum-wage laws. Give people information and you give them options; they can see at a glance if there's a better job out there than their current position, and avoid wasting time applying to jobs that won't pay better. Force people not to work at certain prices and you take away options.
Wouldn't it leave them open to "I have above the minimum qualifications and experience and yet your offer is near the bottom of the range, not near the top" discrimination suits (in addition to the status quo risk of lawsuits if the company actually does pay similarly qualified men more)
Because abortion is a constitutional right in the US, and it would immediately be enjoined as a flagrant violation of constitutional rights (at least pending the current court's likely, but not certain, overruling of Roe v Wade and Casey).

Instead, this is a way to get around constitutionality since it's not the government who is violating the constitution. Never mind all of other constitutional bits about due process that are being horribly trampled on (such as allowing people to sue without standing...).

THose who are claiming that they are running Machine learning at the edge, think about this:

how on earth can they trust the data coming from it?

We all know that ML is hard, we also know that to get accurate classification requires serious horsepower.

None of this can be run on phone hardware without people noticing.

If you were to design a system for handling reported data, who's hard constraint is _human_ eyeball time, would you run ML at the edge? No.

You'd make it so the "report this message" sent the last n lines and the attachment, and then run the ML optimised for accuracy (not speed or memory) on your hardware that you control and trust explicitly.

I would have thought all of this is obvious, given that facebook is all about avoiding spending money on human moderators. Edge ML is not going to help you do that.
Averages have nothing to do with it and I don't know where you're getting that from.

The goal is to limit the amount of discretion companies can exercise on a per applicant basis by forcing them to provide a salary range up front. Even if you don't care about discrimination for some reason the law should still have a positive effect on wage transparency which should benefit anyone who works for wages.
Or native american tribes, other pre-industrial subsistence economies. Slavery isn't at all required. A post-scarcity star trek kind of society wouldn't qualify as consumerist. A modern commune, whether you think it's a good idea or not, and whether you think they 'work' in practice or not, absolutely could exist without consumerism and without slavery. It's silly to think what we've got going is the only way to live. Even within our system, not everyone lives a consumerist lifestyle, some are ascetic.
It's a legal trick to prevent federal courts from immediately ruling the law unconstitutional.

It is certainly the end of medical privacy in the US, but it may even be the end of the Supremacy Clause, which gives the federal government the ability to pass laws that override state laws.

It's difficult to overstate how much of a threat this law is to the US Constitution.

An individual may not want efficient markets for their short term interest. A society most certainly benefits from efficient markets in the long term by properly allocating labor resources.

The bottom income/wealth deciles should definitely welcome price transparency, unless they are "temporarily" embarrassed members of the upper income/wealth deciles.
They're avoiding the other elements of the law. It institutes a few other things besides just salary transparency. Companies also have to maintain a record of salaries/wages in order to prove they didn't discriminate based on sex and they have to announce advancement opportunities to existing employees (something many companies shy away from).
Neat idea. Just curious, why do you ask for a founders age in the very first air table form? Seems like an easy way for investors to skip past guys or gals who are over a certain age.

Typically, you want docker images as slim as possible. Both to make it faster to distribute and to prevent attacks if something escapes your application. The less in the image, the less exploitable your image is.

Beyond keeping the images slim, the times I'd reach for awk when dealing with a docker container would be when I'm debugging problems within that container. I might need to do some quick text parsing or finagling in order to troubleshoot why the application is sucking.

I'd rather not need to upload a Java script into my docker container just for quick troubleshooting.

The fundamental right you are referring to comes from the First Amendment, which begins, "Congress shall make no law...".

Practically speaking, this means the government cannot penalize you for what you say. Aside from the fact that what this website is doing is not really speech (it is acting as a data controller), they aren't being penalized by the government, but by the hosting providers.

There is no violation of first amendment rights here. Just the (mistaken) nebulous concept of "Free Speech".

Because the two adults aren't coming together from equal positions.

The worker needs to work to make money to buy food and shelter. Without a minimum wage, unskilled labor reaches a race to the bottom on wages. It's exploitative to allow an employer to pay $1/hr because no matter how low you go, you'll find someone willing to accept less because they're that desperate to survive.

>> Since the middle of the 20th century, we've lost about 75% of biomass and roundabout the same in biodiversity.

> That’s obviously untrue,

I've provided quite a bit of material for your research. Here are some highlights:

- birds: reduced by 29% (north america) since 1970

- birds: reduced by 20% (europe) since 1980

- ocean fishes: 80% lost in the last 100 years (global)

- insects: 82% lost in the last 27 years (Europe)

- freshwater fishes: 80% lost since 1970

- non-livestock mammals: 78% lost since 1960

I freely admit that the 75% since 1950 number is a ballpark guess. Given the data I refer to above, I reckon it's not far off. Certainly not orders of magnitude and it is certainly not "obviously untrue". We can debate if we lost 75% or 65% or 55%, but given the consequences in any case it doesn't really matter[0].

> so now you’re acting like you were only talking about fish?

What? No. I'm talking about global, total biomass. Every species, every habitat. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. (Why would you think that I was talking only about fish? Are you trolling me?)

With regards to fish I wrote

> The most visible I think it is for fish. There alone we've lost an approximate 80% since the 1950ies.

To rephrase; the decline of fish is easily observed by the ever diminishing returns of fishery fleets and there's a lot of data about development of the fish population.

> Did you notice that the 45% reduction was over five thousand years, not ~75 years as you claimed?

That's one paper that makes some assumptions and comes up with a model. I have to check it in detail and it looks interesting. But that does not in any way refute the data in the papers I already provided or the very comprehensive report by ZSL[1]. This is a very thorough study that compiles data for 21,000 populations of animals from 4392 species.

To quote: "The population sizes of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles have seen an alarming average drop of 68% since 1970.

> Once again, you are saying totally whack stuff to the point where I have to assume you are trolling me somehow.

I'm sorry if you got that impression, because it's not my intention. I thought that I'd made a good case by quoting the research and various papers. I'm not sure why you say that this is "totally whack"; everything is sourced pretty well.

No, we don't do any of that.

We have a variety of low-commitment projects that we pay people to do. These projects add value to the company, of course, but they also allow us to get to know a variety of people who can become more involved with us. In other words, we've found ways to take risks on people, and get to know them, without hiring them outright. We hope to hire them, but they still do need to go through our filtering system first. It may not work in other fields, but it works well in the field we're in.

Of course, we also have a more traditional path, including resumes, interviews, etc. It's good to have multiple methods for finding employees, IMO.

A Bitcoin miner cannot relocate to a different part of the country where electricity costs are momentarily cheaper in a matter of minutes.

I don't know the details of slab allocators. Though if you are describing an allocator that does not have knowledge of what the memory is being used for (e.g. the difference between asking the allocator for memory for a position component defined as three floats and also a color component also coincidentally defined as three floats, versus asking the allocator for two sets of three floats without regard to their intended usage), then it is not the same.
I have to admit I don't understand why companies are so opposed to this. Companies I've worked at have ranges of salary internally, which presumably they could share. The ranges are large enough that I think employees would struggle to use them to negotiate very well. And employees talk salary to each other and have other ways of getting that info anyway.

Edit: someone else pointed out that Accenture does this in one of their listings:

"For the state of Colorado only, the range of starting pay for this role is $58,700 - $94,1999" https://www.accenture.com/us-en/careers/jobdetails?id=964186...

Here we see there's even a benefit: Accenture will save time interviewing people who don't want to work for these horrible low wages.
