Once Facebook usage becomes a real nuissance for whatever reason, businesses will slowly migrate off of it.

I think in part its because hours are extremely easy to measure compared to productivity in many complex work environments.
It's hardly stealing if the original owners still have a copy. It's more of a breach of terms of service, or unlicensed access to intellectual property.

The "theft" spin on copyright violation is the result of years of lobbying by the media industry because they foresaw a drop in sales when people didn't need to buy the same thing over and over again.
IDK. First, I don't believe there will be any kind of surgical precision with autonomous weapons systems. Human drone operators have taken out way too many weddings for my liking, and the German army obliterated a lot of people gathering around a stuck tanker.

Second, with a delay of say 10 years, swarm autonomous drones will be in the hand of insurgents. We've seen how ISIS took out tanks and troop by dropping tank shells from drones. They are not dumb and will happily adopt drone swarms. The science and IT is out there.

It is true that armies have a harder time carpet-bombing cities, but at the same time, what modern armies hate even more is losing their own guys. Even a semi-capable killer drone swarm could make it real hard to take and hold cities if seemingly out of the blue your buddies drop dead. Insurgents typically will not care that much if there's dead civilians if they can terrorize invasion forces.

Hello,

wg-tray is a very basic tool we did to simply bring up/down.

NetworkManager is also a solution, but doesn't handle all cases / configuration, so we did this.

It published hopping it can be useful to somebody else :)
I've always wondered why this is the case. TEKSystems for example is a well-known middleman. Do the big corporates just enjoy wasting money on middlemen?

What is the cost of this service anyway ? Why isn't it close to 0 ? The $5+ fee quoted in this article seems absurd when letter delivery is in cents and $5 will get your stuff delivered across the country with priority mail in under 2 days.

I used to think like that. Except most of the value of gold comes exactly from the same mindset it puts value on BTC and not on those properties you describe.

While gold does have some interesting properties in no way would that explain a 10 trillion dollar market cap, and the price of 55 000 $/kg, sorry. It's just not that much better and rarer than other competitor materials. If comparing by properties alone, there are materials that should then be more expensive. For example Platinum is almost half of its price, and yet way rarer, and it's properties more useful.
Moonpay.com works, it accepts about 100 different coins and handles the transacations and KYC (as all crypto transactions now need KYC)

However, it's fees are hefty something like $4 or 5% whichever it higher. So only makes sense if you sell things that cost $100 or more.
That depends on whether you're drawing to a (temporary) buffer with alpha or drawing directly onto a background. Even if you can, it imposes limits on your overall compositing/drawing order.
> IMHO govt services make sense when private industry can't provide them effectively. That doesn't seem like the case here.

Since your whole argument depends on this, I think you need more than a "seems".

Britain, which I'm most familiar with as I lived there before everything could be done electronically, and Europe in general, has/had several services like this available from post offices.

You could pay most bills by taking the bill and cash/cheque to the post office (called "giro"), or transferring from a bank account. A while ago, you could open a Post Office bank account there; nowadays you can make deposits and withdrawals to any UK current account. You could pay fees, taxes and fines, renew a driving license, apply for a passport, and probably 50 other things.

Oh, and send letters and parcels.

Together, all this means the staff have to know how to check someone's identity, and are used to handling cash.

50+ years ago, this was probably a great way to help the economy. Bills paid faster, government services available in every village.

The USA seems about 50 years late for that, so presumably the target is the poorest and/or most rural communities.

Britain is several steps ahead of the USA on privatising government services. Nowadays, many rural or small post offices are just a counter in a convenience shop or small supermarket, as seen here: https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/local-news/little-sutto... (and the whole "Post Office" company is privatized, like in many European countries).

Separately from all this, there are SPX options, they're cash-settled European index options (for those on the sidelines American options can be exercised any time up to expiry, European only on the day of expiry) with a $100/tick notional contract value. They're super useful if you want to trade indices (as compared to say SPY options) because you don't have to deal with dividend-triggered exercise risk and they offer 60% long term capital gains tax treatment no matter how long you hold them for (like futures and futures options). [1]

[edit] They do trade under various tickers depending on the exchange though, so maybe that's some of the confusion? Btw, not trying to explain it to you in particular, just to passers-by.

Nobel's will specified that the prizes were supposed to be handed out for the greatest contributions done during the last 12 months. They've slowly moved away from that, since as your examples demonstrate, it's hard to judge the lasting impact of anything that fast.
I agree, HN itself slowed to a crawl and eventually went down temporarily for me but I’d bet one of my toes that it’s because half the devs, sysadmins etc of the world were trying to find out what was going on rather than people no longer distracted by Facebook looking for something else to do.
The issue imo is the infastructure to tie the transaction to the purchase still needs to attach on chain data with offchain data and so that's complex for each chain and each website or app backend. Still recommend using a payment partner at this stage.
This is not about the legal ownership. This is about operational ownership. All these maintainers understood what they signed. However, they expected to be supported to do their work mostly their way. For good reasons since other foundations do it that way.
The .NET Foundation is however not communicating and supporting the community but focus on legal ownership including capabilities to enforce that (that is were some of the CoC and billing comments come from).

So it is mismatch of expectation. To blame is the foundation, because what you can read on the web page and the feedback of the maintainer community does not fit to their agenda so they could have understood this early and resolve it peacefully (they are the ones in power).

This is about open source leadership. They screwed up. Legally this is (mostly) fine, content wise it is (mostly) fine but the way how they operate is not okay. And saying sorry is not enough
There's no competition because Facebook is a monopoly.

Also remember that media companies tried collaborating with Facebook. Remember Pivot to video? Only to discover that Facebook inflated their stats on video views.

Of course, Facebook was sorry.

I guess the answer to these problems depends a lot on the job. I don't know why we would expect all sorts of different jobs to nicely fit into the same 9-to-5 5-days-a-week model anyway? For sure there are jobs where that works just fine (manual labour, etc.), but also jobs that would benefit for less working hours and more rest time (many cognitively heavy jobs) or jobs where the best model would be 24/7 readiness to work, but only small number of hours doing the actual work.
Not true. His 'hate' against ethnic minorities is a gross overstatement. "Stop feeding Caucasus" means stop giving money to murderous criminals who rule in the region, not make people of the Caucasus starve, and his suggestions to restrict travel from former USSR countries are not unlike existing EU or US restrictions of travel applied to Russian citizens.

Regarding hate against sexual minorities, in the more than a decade of following Navalny on social media, I have never seen him exhibiting any hate or resentment towards sexual minorities, so I think that this accusation is an outright lie.
God damn the Supreme Court and their perpetuating of falsehoods with witty hot takes.
The same can be said about climate change. It (rather than it's expected consequences and regulations already being implemented) seems being rather far from a real nuissance for the most of the developed world (e.g. it has zero effect on life and businesses of myself and everyone I know, in Europe) at the moment but it's obviously a severe problem for the nearing future so we mostly agree we must start fixing it now.

AFAIK you can use Windows unlicensed as long as you activate it after evaluation. You're right that you can only run one instance of a given Windows product code on a machine for long-time use, though.

The last I heard about the macos situation is that virtualisation of macOS is allowed as long as you do it on Apple hardware that you have a license to run macOS on. You can run as many virtual machines on your mac as you want, as long as you've paid for the OS on your mac, which you can't buy separately anymore (making any restrictions on licenses a full ban on macOS VMs, which nobody wants). Perhaps you could buy additional licenses through second hand shops, depending on your jurisdiction.

As for legal ramifications, I don't think either Microsoft or Apple will care if you use this for your personal projects. Don't try this as a business, though, because that's where the lawyers start caring.

Legally, you'll probably be liable for a civil lawsuit from either Apple or Microsoft. I don't think it's actually considered a crime to run a copy of software without a license in most countries.

Of course tax laws also factor into life decisions.

Confirmed by who? Coinbase currently requires only 3 confirmations[0]. Binance requires only 1 confirmation for deposits and 2 for withdraw[1].

Actually. Was there a successful double spend in Bitcoin ever?

I mean, this kind of attack can't be done in secret, right? Such attack wold immediately make the news, because the blockchain is public. And to pull it off you need a substantial % of the mining capacity, so only a handful entities in world can coordinate such high hashrate attack.

It just doesn't seem very likely, and specially not if you're just reversing a low value retail purchase. I'd wager the rate of counterfeit money you receive when dealing with cash is way higher.

Because it makes Duerte look bad, who is the “Trump” of Southeast Asia. Please note that I am not defending Duerte, simply saying that Western media and elites clearly don’t like him.

He declared the intention to pursue an "independent foreign policy", and strengthened relations with China and Russia.[20]

"Bitcoin: A peer to peer electronic cash system" is not a currency. That's some mental gymnastics.
>Because the institutions that should have handled these responsibilities got broken down intentionally due to "starve the beast" libertarian ideology.

Historically, the position of liberal/libertarian free market advocates has been that protecting and enforcing property rights is a core responsibility of the state - one of very few core responsibilities.

You can probably find some fringe opinions that would question even this limited role of government, but I think you're going to find it very difficult to demonstrate that this is a significant political force.

Underfunding or general ineffectiveness of the judiciary and law enforcement can be a consequence of many political and organsiational failures. You can find it in many countries around the world that could never be called remotely libertarian.
A passport as an ID would likely work, and one would hope that other forms of ID not tied to the immigration system would work too.

Given most countries tax their residents as opposed to their citizens, I say let them leave and they forfeit their right to be residents.

In the case of the US, where they tax both their citizens and their residents. If you want to leave and not pay, you forfeit the residency and the citizenship.

Actually you have to pay a much higher rate. I don't get how people with even minimal maths skills get caught by the lie that contractors don't pay their tax. We do, I paid more as a percentage and way more in cash terms than as a permie.

Tea-leaves-reading exercise for drama IMHO. "We're continuously working to improve these parts" == "A problem with these parts will never be fixed!" apparently.
That's not correct for UK citizens. We pay tax on an arising basis on global earnings too.

"When you’re UK resident you’re normally taxed on the arising basis of taxation. This means that all your worldwide income and gains will be taxable in the UK. Therefore, even if your foreign income and gains have already been taxed in another country they will still be taxable in the UK and you must declare all of your foreign income and gains on your tax return."

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/residence-domicil...

The difference is that a UK citizen can become 'non-resident' by moving permanently abroad and there is a 'non-domiciled' option that is wildly complex legally but allows taxation on a remittance basis.

The US tax code applies to its citizens wherever they choose to live in the world with IIRC no exceptions short of renouncing citizenship.
>Meanwhile, if you’re an average joe American expat living abroad, your financial life will be a nightmare since the US automatically assumes you’re some rich tax evader. Good luck opening even a basic bank account while abroad.

That's not even close to being true. As long as you're paying taxes where you're living (and most foreign jurisdictions are quite prickly about such things), if the taxes you pay to the foreign government exceed what you'd owe the US government, you generally don't have to pay any US income tax[0].

[0] https://www.americansabroad.org/us-taxes-abroad-for-dummies-...

Edit: Apparently, while the income tax situation isn't too bad for expats, the US has reporting requirements for foreign banks that are rather onerous. As such, many American expats have a hard time getting bank/investment accounts abroad, which is what OP was talking about.

The point is reasonable; but drones are quite different to dogs.

I imagine it is much cheaper maintain 100 drones, truck them to where they are needed and have them swarm with some level of facial or gait recognition than the equivalent operation would be with dogs.

Also this could be centrally coordinated with cameras a lot more cheaply over a wider area than at any point in the past, with fewer people and less requirement for locals to dob people in.

Trade deals take years (if not decades?). The fact that we're only just out of the EU and we had a pandemic to take everyone's mind off the ball I'm not worried (yet) about the lack of trade deals. IMHO opinion people are too quick to shout "see Brexit is bad!", it's been 40 (?) years of EU membership - of course there's going to be issues whilst we untangle ourselves from the EU. None of what has happened so far is surprising.
Point 12 is objectively the most true in practice.

In my 20 years of experience quality of software engineer comes down to personality, the ability to make decisions based upon evidence more than intuition and the ability to make decisions in the face of insufficient evidence.
