What sucks about stories like this is, while my heart breaks for what this guy went through, managers don't have the same luxury of defending their side of the story to Mother Jones.

I worked as an EM at Amazon. I went into this ready to think he had a bad boss (because those definitely exist at Amazon), but after reading this I feel like there's another side to this that has more compassion than is being reflected here. He was at turns informally warned, encouraged to take leave, and offered severance. It sounds like he expected a pass on all this for his life circumstances until it was too late. Without more details from both sides as to what the performance issues were, this reads as using a tragedy to get more than he's owed.

I can't even imagine what this guy went through. He had to watch his wife slowly die while raising two girls and providing for his family. Watching my father die from cancer after a long life was awful enough and affected me for years. His grief has to be phenomenal. I imagine part of his grieving process is lashing out at his boss for not being more understanding. That said, I think his story would be the same no matter where he worked. It's just more in vogue to bash Amazon.

If he wants to lash out at anything, I suggest lashing out at a system that requires us to work while going through such awful life circumstances. That man shouldn't have had to work. He should have been safe to be unemployed while focusing on being there for his family. The idea that he felt compelled to work to avoid his family going bankrupt is lunacy to me.
When you install Docker desktop and already have wsl2 installed you get a pop up saying “you just want us to use wsl2?” And away you go. At least that’s what happened when I did it 6 months ago. Works great!

I agree with you, except some of the ads were loose inserts that fell out when you shook the magazine, which was almost as annoying as animated gifs/videos.
Great product and agree that high value blogs work on HN but...

It's only worth writing blogs and posting them to HN if this website is where your target audience hang out!
We had some of the crazy people track us down and call in bomb/death threats to our office building.

So many though we were in collusion with a specific forum moderator (out of a million forums) and got to incensed. And this was in the early 2000s that we think was a saner time.
If seismic stability was the primary concern, why not choose a state like Minnesota? (lowest seismic activity in the US) Is it tax / local governments + seismic stability?
Well say that then. I certainly don't work for Amazon (or ever intend to)!
My toaster cooks the bottom part of the toast way faster than the top part so I have to flip it partway through to get it even. Also it accumulates a ton of crumbs which I can never quite clean out, and sometimes some crumbs will get onto the heating element and the kitchen will smell like burning. Plus it's just not at all consistent even though it seems impossible for there to be so much variance with the same machine cooking the same bread on the same time setting.
I'm disappointed at how widespread this seems to be.

My mother died earlier this year. When I asked my boss at our series b startup for leave her response was, "do you really need this much time, its the end of the quarter." I told her that I did actually want 2 weeks to grieve the loss of my mother and she never responded. When I returned to work, she had never told HR that my mother died. HR didn't understand why I was absent for 2 weeks. I decided to resign and not work with people who behave like that.
The fyra train contract was given to a company which didn't have any experience building high speed trains who promised it for cheap over a reasonably priced experienced manufacturer (siemens).
A case of 'goedkoop, duurkoop' (buying too cheap might end up being expensive) imho.
I dont know if anyone read this:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/27/china-to-limit...

A lot of the big drives that Xi is on seem to be simply to reduce cost per child for a family so they will have more children. Thats why they want to go after the after-school tuition industry. They want to go after the housing industry and now this Texas style restriction on reproductive rights. Of course everything Xi does is not motivated by a single objective. But the Chinese are laser focused right now on creating conditions which would increase their population.
That sounds more annoying than paying $12/yr.
A 50s computer would have been largely glass vacuum tubes and dropping it would cause quite a lot of problems. And a modern computer would be fine in an earthquake if it didn't fall off something or have something heavy fall on it.
Who is your provider!? I pay that much for an MVNO that deprioritizes me around 100gb. Would love to switch, it's interfering with my work.
On a side note, it wouldn't do to assume the Chinese behavior is fundamentally irrational.
This has been like, a lovely digression, but the actual point I was trying to make was about the sense of living and working in a community.

The office-, factory-, shop-worker leaves their home each day to go to their work, and leaves their work each night to return to their home. They live in two worlds that may overlap but are frequently quite separate.

A farmer lives in one world, the farm. The work on the farm never really ends; you may not be working 16-hour days from birth to death, but it isn't contained with a 9-5 M-F schedule. You also don't really leave your home to go to work. You work with your parents, your children, your siblings, and you are always near them. Your neighbors are also farmers, and if you don't occasionally help each other out, you at least will talk shop with them. Your entire life blends into one big sphere rather than bouncing between two.

A monk in the monastery leads that same sort of singular existence: they are always a monk, and never not a monk. They may have an hour here or there between worship or material labors to do as they will, but they never clock out from being a monk. Meanwhile, while they may have left their birth-family, they are always with their brothers. They worship with their brothers, eat with their brothers, work with their brothers.

Working from home doesn't feel like a unified existence, in the same way; it feels like I leave my family for approximately 8 hours each day, less lunch, and go nowhere. I may be able to work productively enough, but it is a third thing, to me, not like being either an office-worker moving between two worlds or a farmer living in one.
I don't exclude what you want. I want what iPads without SIM have.

Second SIM bound to same identity isn't the same as non SIM adjunct device support.
>Does uBlock Origin also use a slow, memory and performance inefficient means of blocking ads? Yes.

Is this true? It's been a little while but last time I looked over things it seemed like gorhill implemented a rather efficient machine. I'd appreciate if you could expand on this.
Hey there -- we've all been there at various points in our lives, and it sucks... The anxiety is a negative feedback loop, too: you get anxious about not doing work, you berate yourself, and it makes the anxiety worse.

Have you tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? This workbook[1] provides people with ways to deal with anxiety and negative thoughts/feelings that lead to procrastination. While it's meant for people who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, you can use the exercises regardless.

If you're not comfortable going that far, then "The Practice of Groundedness"[2] is another good book you can read... It discusses habit formation and the need for you to replace your 'bad' habits with new actions... For example, when you notice yourself typing "reddit.com" or something into your browser, force yourself to stop, close the browser, and breath for 5 seconds. You can still revisit the site afterwards, but the awareness of what you're doing can often lead to intentional changes without berating yourself.

Remember that finding what works for you is a journey and what you need to do is be consistent... A few things people recommend won't work, but then you'll stumble upon the one that does and you'll feel better... You'll still relapse every once in a while, but just forgive yourself and move on. Don't punish yourself.

Yep. We’re using a Splunk with TBs of logs a day and it’s been great.
I see the PM for this product is here, a few things we find useful with S3:

- Daily inventory report of the contents of the bucket in parquet format

- Signed URLs

- Lifecycle policies based on tags (but to be honest just a policy that isn't restricted to suffix/prefix would be amazing)

- Bucket policies (restrict object key structure)

Lots of these work well enough in AWS but are often lacking in some regards with annoying restrictions.

Looks like an amazing product, good luck!
Cesium Mission 1 Kicks Off
This.

The death rate of being human is 100%. Every five minutes there's some new paper or study letting us all know why we should be afraid of something new.

I'm not saying this particular study is necessarily scare-mongering, but good grief is it tiring to see this stuff all day every day, without any scale of risk for context.
OK, give any example of such good public fund. There is none, never was, never will.
But Lenin viewed the NEP as a compromise with capitalism to gain time awaiting the world revolution, a dangerous one because it breed a new capitalist class out of peasants. Simultaneously with the NEP, Bolsheviks tried to help the world revolution (the policy of the third international before Stalin). China is not trying to foster any revolution, they have 100 billionaries as parliament members! China policy seems one of restoration of capitalism, not of compromise.
This just isn't a defense.

In other sectors of the consumer space, they make updates that make the rootkits not work anymore.
So it seems like this is something anyone can do. As in, I can go and buy or make a license plate scanner all I want. I can publish the data if I choose to. I can sell it or put in online for free.

And of course a cop can do the same thing, they just cannot automate it. If the city wanted to spend a gazillion dollars they could theoretically hire an army of people to manually record plate numbers and it would be within the law.

It's information leak. The truth is we always took this sort of privacy for granted. The information was there forever--it was just too arduous to process. Nothing fundamental changed from 1980-2020, only the expense and practicality of it.

I don't know what the solution is. I just think we are realizing that we never had privacy to start with, we were just shielded because it was impractical to process the data.
23,000-year-old footprints suggest people reached the Americas early
There are unlikely to be people in the US with blood levels less than 1 order of magnitude less than the EPA action threshold. Lead is in your drinking water, food, and if you lived near anything with leaded - your air.

We used to use lead based pesticides at the dawn of the 20th century, if you eat any food grown in the midwest you are exposing yourself to reasonably large quantities of lead.
You know, I don't doubt that Amazon is a bunch of bastards, but I can't say that any company I have worked for ever did much for employee tragic circumstances. They were just more polite about it.
This kind of reads like western propaganda trying to carry water desperately for capitalism. I forgot what part of communism meant you couldn't have semiconductor factories (Regardless, China's largest semiconductors are state owned so I don't know why he brings this up).

A much more rational view I've come to understand is the CCP now has very wealthy leaders from the private sector who are now getting more active in politics. This is standard - once a business grows large enough, business risk from the state grows larger and it becomes important to be able to influence the state. China will now have to balance the needs of the public and private sectors and I imagine the old guys aren't as keen to let the private sector do what it wants. The common prosperity initiative is now a tool that Xi can wield against more capitalist upstarts in the CCP.
If you're not set on Roku/Fire Stick as clients and would be willing to use (for example) Android phones / laptops / Raspberry Pis you could consider just making a VLC playlist and sharing your screen via Discord. This would allow everyone to join the server with an invite, and join the stream with a click. Good max video quality, and handles low-bw clients well too.

If you really need scene selection and stuff, then you could use OBS + (VirtualCam + VoiceMeeter) as your mixer and feed that into Discord.
I hoped this would be an article about nethack.
Vespid wasps, especially the family of hornets and yellowjackets, have alarm pheromones. This is why it's a very bad idea to kill a wasp: her sisters are likely to smell what you did, and may come and try to kill you right back. Damaging the body of a dead wasp can also release the pheromone, eliciting the same response.

I don't know that we need a just-so story to explain a folkway around avoiding interference with the remains of deceased hymenopterans, but if we do, this is probably the strongest candidate.
Perhaps "complete" is a better adjective; I just wanted to mention that Tesla is not the only defendant, though as you point out Tesla's involvement here is the novel bit.

Honestly not sure what the correct course is here. Including the restaurant owner better represents the whole picture, but isn't as focused.
It stands for "relational", you know that CLickhouse is not a relational database right?

Have you used any of these technologies? Cassandra/Scylla have a defined schema. Did you really not know that?
Checking your hotels evacuation plan is something the guest has to choose to do, which isn't the case with flight safety briefings. Fire drills would be a closer comparison with regards to fire safety.

As an aside, up until a few years ago I was one of those people that did check hotel evacuation plans. I suffered from a lot of habitual ticks back then though and I suspect checking evacuation plans might have been one of them.
Dude, where’s my stuff
This story needs to be turned into a writeup and submitted to HN on its own.
My BP stabilised enough my GP suggested I try weaning off. I went half a tab, then half a tab every other day then stopped.

I do have hypertension in my heritage, but I was written up as idiopathic. Since it's returned I might find that changes. Still, a ten-year break was good. Who knows? Maybe I'll win another.
So is the problem then that you can't push enough heat into the air, so you need to evaporate water? Sounds like a nice input to a desalination plant. Does this mean you agree that Arizona is a strange choice?

If they need so much water, does that mean you agree that
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, coup after coup in South America - you think Tiananmen was more reprehensible than any of these?

I'll also remind you Tiananmen was internal, whereas all of our wars are just that - wars. Directed against other nations.

edit: to clarify, I don't see how Tiananmen suggests China will go to war, but I do see how a sordid history of spurring violence across the globe suggests the US will go to war again.
seems like you should be able to dump part of the waste heat back into the output air after the cooling stage.
Inkscape saves with two different options: "Inkscape SVG" and "Plain SVG", did you try both?
Backstage.io and Techdocs approach is probably the one I like the most. Keep docs close to your code but display them in a central tool that helps you provide context to your whole organization.
Exactly. There's no scale of risk/impact in these conversations, it's always binary.
Show HN: Time.taxi – A Daily Dose of Diversion
Companies don't "want" things. They do not have a single will. Companies are agglomerations of many humans, who have various wills and more importantly various incentives.

Same with "HR," and not only are there multiple people, in large enough companies, there are fairly disconnected teams that handle the various parts of HR, like sourcing candidates, making offers to candidates, supporting managers, handling accommodations and keeping the company on the right side of the law, overseeing budgets and headcount. (If it helps, consider engineering, and the statement, "If engineering didn't want to move their legacy services to public cloud, they would simply have not signed a services contract with this cloud vendor in the first place instead of wasting their money.")

It's entirely possible that every individual on the hiring side genuinely wanted (of their own will) to hire this person anyway, but none of them were the same people who handle working with existing employees, who are all more misanthropic, and they don't talk to each other. It's also possible, and quite a bit more likely, that every individual on the hiring side is incentivized to fill roles, not to retain (how do you give someone an OKR or performance bonus this year based on whether their hires are still around three years in the future, anyway?), and that every individual on the existing-employees side is incentivized to demonstrate that they aren't coddling low performers.

Being employed at a company is a business transaction. It's not cynical to ask what the involved people's financial incentives are and whether they line up with yours, any more than it's cynical to expect that McDonald's will refuse to negotiate on the price of a burger. Even if the employee is nice, they've got a job to do, and they may not be nice.
This is the best answer I could think of. We have to assume the question is about Alpine Linux, not about embedded systems per se. Small thread stacks run out of space quickly (fail fast), help prevent a malicious process from gobbling up lots of VM, and force you to program in a style that doesn't use much stack space, although that's questionable because most memory leaks are heap-based.

It's worth noting that the limits are adjustable on a per-package basis in Alpine based on the compiler-time link options.
that's pretty fantastical
I'll second this: how can I hire you? Or more generally how would you suggest going about finding a workflow consultant?
I recently abandoned this setup.

1. It’s not frequent that someone hands out your address to a 3rd party and when it does, it’s usually exactly the site you would expect. I’ve had it happen 1 time in the last 3 years across 150 different aliases.

2. It doesn’t work well for apps with weird URLs (lots of subdomains, shared domains etc.). You forget how you the address and now can’t login. Yes, maybe you have a password manager, but password managers fail frequently in my experience (e.g. they record the wrong username etc)

3. You are still traceable since ultimately all your addresses are in the same domain. Sure, advertisers aren’t looking for that pattern, but it’s not like you are truly hidden.

4. Domain hijacking can happen. So now you have to be mindful of your domain since it’s a juicy target; Someone hijacker’s your domain, redirects your banking email for a password reset.
The biggest reason IMO for moderation in the first place is because if you don't block/censor some people, they will block/censor others. Either by spamming, making others feel intimidated or unwelcome, making others upset, creating "bad vibes" or a boring atmosphere, etc.

So in theory, passing on moderation to the users seems natural. The users form groups where they decide what's ok and what's banned, and people join the groups where they're welcome and get along. Plus, what's tolerable for some people is offensive or intimidating for others and vice versa: e.g. "black culture", dark humor.

If you choose the self-moderation route you still have to deal with legal implications. Fortunately, I believe what's blatantly illegal on the internet is more narrow, and you can employ a smaller team of moderators to filter it out. Though I can't speak much to that.

In practice, self-moderation can be useful, and I think it's the best and only real way to allow maximum discourse. But self-moderation alone is not enough. Bad communities can still taint your entire ecosystem and scare people away from the good ones. Trolls and spammers make up the minority of people, but they have outsized influence and even more outsized coverage coverage from news etc.. Not to mention they can brigade and span small good communities and easily overwhelm moderators who are doing this for volunteering.

The only times I've really seen moderation succeed are when the community is largely good, reasonable, dedicated people, so the few bad people get overwhelmed and pushed out. I suspect Second Life is of this category. If your community is mostly toxic people, there's no form of moderation which will make your product viable: you need to basically force much of your userbase out and replace them, and probably overhaul your site in the process.
Exactly this. And exactly this why every page like messenger.com heavily pushes you to install native apps and/or is broken in some peculiar way that makes it barely useful.
Most shareholder elections don't have a yes/no vote on the CEO - and I work for a wholly owned subsidiary, so have no say in that either.
"mm" is a common abbreviation for million in the context of accounting. It refers back to the latin "mille mille" which means "thousand thousand" literally. "Mille" is still used for thousand in French and Italian. The abbreviation is reasonably common in english, though I also would not be surprised by anyone not having run into it before.
oh nice, this looks awesome. Bookmarked
Yes, I too thought the problem would solve itself. It looks like the third party ownership in containers (they're a bizarre market in themselves) maybe broke things. As did port congestion. Low staffing because Covid compounds all problems. Maybe this is the trigger for more inter-modal automation at the ports?

As an atheist ecksmass is purely about food and friendship. As an industry "how it works" is goods get shipped. As a Christian religious ceremony it should be untouched or, as you and others say even enhanced.
Yes, American Radio History is one of my favorite sites (to hoard from).

Lots more than just Byte and Popular Electronics.
I cannot see the name Tartessos without thinking of the S. M. Stirling Nantucket series of novels. Where the island of Nantucket is transported back to around the bronze age collapse. And the islanders have to figure out how to survive. One of their early allies is a merchant from Tartessos.
I feel like this isn't a helpful quotation when I'm obviously saying "Now how do I see where minimum user download speed is 10 Mbps & upload is a minimum 3mbps"? A static map isn't useful for data analysis.

It also doesn't address that geographic maps aren't useful for showing deployment of services for people.
That's horrible! Did you run that plan past any lawyers?
Perhaps hypersonic missiles could play a part in ICBM defense. You need something very fast and maneauverable.
