Yes. They don't work. The fact you used them at all is used as evidence against you. If your coins ever touch a mixing service, exchanges will assume you're a money launderer and refuse your coins. You can't cash out.

Privacy cannot ever be optional. If it is, most people will not take that option simply because it's not the default. Then everyone who does will stand out.
The greater impact of the agreement as I understand it will come from the requirement for companies to pay taxes in the countries where they do business, and not just in the country of registration.
I cut facebook out of my life almost 5 years ago before it was "cool" to do so. Its like junk food or cigarettes or anything else that is net bad for a person. I would say let people decide for themselves if they want to use it and you hope they make the smart choice of just saying no to facebook and all its toxicity that comes with it.

Big prior discussion from yesterday.

> Can you imagine being cut off from the phone system 40 years ago because you were selling answering machines?

Yes, actually. It was illegal to connect any equipment beside Bell's equipment to the US telephone system. Not only would you be disconnected and possibly fined by your phone provider for doing so, but American law also made it illegal to sell such devices as well for use on the phone network. If you wanted to use an answering machine not sold by Bell, you had to get it custom rewired by Bell and pay a monthly rental fee for the privilege:

> AT&T, citing the Communications Act of 1934, which stated in part that the company had the right to make changes and dictate "the classifications, practices, and regulations affecting such charges," claimed the right to "forbid attachment to the telephone of any device 'not furnished by the telephone company.'"

> Initially, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled in AT&T's favor. It found that the device was a "foreign attachment" subject to AT&T control and that unrestricted use of the device could, in the commission's opinion, result in a general deterioration of the quality of telephone service.

It was challenged and the seller of the amplifier device ultimately won in federal court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush-A-Phone_Corp._v._United_S... (Even then, you couldn't actually electronically connect a device, you could only acoustically couple it. Direct connection of modems wouldn't be legal until the 1980s.)
They cache it across a geographically-distributed network of edge nodes, even. Potentially very hairy if this had gone south for them.
Nope. My brain will context switch very quickly between threads sometimes, but that's often outside of my control.
That's a different extension. They can't link to Unfollow Everything because he was forced to take it down.
The "one instance" thing only applies to that "patriots" site because you asserted "No one on [Patriots . win] is an extremist". It also doesn't show that the site is an "extremist site", only that your claim is wrong.

Your statement about reddit is a logical fallacy.
r/politics isn't "far-left" although lsc and socialism are. There are also hosts of far-left subreddits that don't really reach r/all
Last month I ran into The Principle of Least Power, and it's grabbed me and the more I think about it, the more it expands. I think all of your statements lines up with this principle, except one.

Containers are a simpler solution than Operating Systems. Operating Systems is a tightly bound non-simplistic system that breeds complexity, just as you state npm does. Because those interfaces are tightly bound, we were not about to build on top of them. Almost immediately after we got Docker, we got K8s. Once we got Docker we got the ability to manage these things at a higher level. That's the mark of a more simple solution.

Are there things that Docker can't do? Are there things that require so much performance that Docker can't handle it? Only then should you step back to the more powerful solution.

Not to say that there aren't problems with Docker. Dockerfiles have a lot to improve. Running containers has a lot to improve.

I think. I'm still at a state where I might change my mind. It's partially why I'm posting this.

> ...it is now supported by all OECD and G20 countries. Four countries - Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - have not yet joined the agreement.

But this list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states

contains not 140 but 193 UN member states and 206 listed states.

Which are missing? Just to start, I don't see Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, or Bolivia listed; to my knowledge those are ordinary nations like the four enumerated. Either it's not "all OECD" because those four are missing, or that list of four is very much incomplete. Or are they saying that those four support it but have not yet joined?

Either way, the hard part comes when individual countries have to legislate compliance with the treaty that their state departments have agreed to, and the really hard part comes when other countries have to collectively enforce the treaty when a signatory adds a loophole or ignores it...

Obviously I realise which you'll say is best, but any comment on snafu vs thiserror/anyhow?

That's what I've used so far pretty much just because it seemed the popularly recommended way to solve the problem, but I wouldn't say it's been massively smooth.

Also, it seems unfortunate you won't get autocompletion (the first time anyway) for (the 'Snafu') part of XxxSnafu.

Budgetting is a means to forecast and plan for the future of your bank balance; this includes goal setting as well. What do you have now, what is coming in, what is going out, what will you have in 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 5 years, etc.

Once you have your budget, implementing the budget is a means towards reaching your goals.

Being 'smart' with money to me, means not spending on frivolous things you can't afford, getting good value for the money you do spend (even if it is for frivolous things you can afford), and working towards financial independence. My definition of financial independence is a reasonable expectation of comfortable living without needing to work; could be investments, could be a pension or social security if it pays your bills, could be that you're comfortable living off the land in the wilderness (but I'm certainly not!). It may not be an acheivable goal for everyone, but I include it in being smart with money.
One problem with git is that it assumes you have some sort of "diff" utility for before and after snapshots. For some types of things, that's not feasible - you can't easily diff two images and work out what filter was used. Sometimes you instead you want to create the diff, and generate the "after" snapshot. You could emulate this by stowing the information somewhere hidden and writing a fake "diff" that simply retrieves it - but saving the edit tree and reconstituting it is supposed to be git's job! You end up reimplementing bits of git, just to make git work.
As a corollary to my anecdotal data, I'm not sure I've ever met an exec who had an MBA and I've never even thought of putting it on a job description for any kind of leadership role. Except maybe a CFO type position.
Question is worded a bit funny- will you have 1 day of connectivity 1 day a week for x weeks? You'd probably end up just making a list of things to cram in to that one day all week.
> paid by the pipeline company, the chief of police surely would know

Awareness of who is paying is step one of the potential for corruption here, but it's far from conclusive. The chief of police is getting paid regardless, whether it's by the municipality or the company isn't particularly relevant to him I imagine.

> the chief would be able to direct patrols in certain locations or drive investigations into individuals of interest.

This is exactly what a police chief should do all the time! When you hear of crime, you send officers to investigate it. Anyone can direct patrols to a certain location by calling 911 and reporting a crime.

No, the letter is here: https://louisbarclay.notion.site/Unfollow-Everything-cease-a.... It's because the extension "automates actions on Facebook". Why do you say it was recording usage?

Reminds me now of 'I'm double-vaxed, but ..." when redditors criticize any aspect of the divisive issues around the pandemic.
Absolutely. I am nitpicking. And i am in a mood to debate to be honest so i hope you're not offended. I too use commonly accepted assumptions in daily life. However, in debates i try to steer clear of them (reasons outlined above). But to each his own! Have a good night fellow human :)
Just endless captcha loops.
East Germans are a lot poorer, the East German economy is a lot lower productivity and investment, and politically the old DDR states lean a bit more right (ripe area for AfD recruitment).

Some West germans still look down on Ossies, even though Merkel was one herself. It's a lot like how northern states look down on southern states in the U.S.
> my point was that there is active censorship of right/far-right discourse in Reddit.

Politically biased rule enforcement is a bit different than having a community that invariably has to frame every unrelated thing in terms of a certain political ideology.

While your overall points are good, you derail a more more original comment into the standard partisan censorship discussion that happens over and over on HN.
Article is underwhelming.

I think of "on the same page" as everyone has clarity on the important parts of a plan.

> Whoever sets the meeting controls the agenda, but it's whoever takes the meeting notes who controls the outcome.

From experience, this is naive.

You don't get there by over-sharing and under-sharing. It's inefficient.
FWIW, my folks and some other parents pushed and pushed for 'something' extra... and.. we got little extra 'gifted' exercises (a few thursday afternoons with a doctor talking about anatomy stuff, etc). The principal kept juggling stuff, and before 5th grade started for me, he'd reached some deal to have a more extensive 'gifted program' for the school. Then he died, a month before it was to start. It seemed to fall apart in the aftermath of that.

Not because of that, but... we did move - about 10 miles north, and were in a different school area. It was the same county - but there relatively extensive gifted programs, and I was slipped in in my first week there. Same county, just 'richer' (and... it wasn't 'rich' so much as where we'd been living just 10 miles to the south was on the decline).

I was bored a lot too, even after being pushed ahead. I was bored until... I was behind. Around grade 11, it all fell apart - I had no study discipline, because I'd never had to before, and school/classes became impossible overnight.
Ok, that is valid answer. Should we ban entire YouTube then?
That's a different one. Unfollow Everything has been taken down.
You can't "buy less stuff" when the things we're talking about are necessities, often times food and critical supplies like fuel.

This isn't really an excuse in e.g. USA, which produces surpluses in both of these commodities.
I think you are seriously and intentionally misunderstanding the point. So far it was completely fine for Facebook to ban whoever they wanted and it was justified by them being a private company. Anybody who complained about it was told that they can build their own social network/cloud provider/payment provider.

Somehow now this is bad... Ridiculous.
You misrepresented the results of the original study as per above. The vaccine is 80% effective at preventing infection in frontline health workers (who are at elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19). It is 95% effective at preventing infection across the general population.
I'm no expert but let's say this happens- they'll just incorporate in Space, Moon, or Mars.
Yea - as mentioned by the sibling comment if a government platform tried to censor you then your first amendment rights actually are being impinged (unlike how it is with a private company which owes you no right to expression). There would be some leeway for the government to censor content that was outright dangerous but honestly a federal judge would probably refuse to hold up any bans on flat earther or climate change denial content. While both of those topics are mildly harmful to society they likely wouldn't be immediate enough for a judge.

If you want free and open communication you want the government to have a (visible!) hand in it.

If you don't know them how did you assert they were an extremist in your original comment?

An extremist is likened to a terrorist, you need to have evidence other than some edgelord comment, otherwise they are just an edgelord.

Until proven otherwise you should assume they are the same as Reddit edgelords (actually most of them ARE or WERE Reddit edgelords!)

I'm not defending one community in particular, I'm defending everyone's right to be in the community they want without being dehumanized as some sort of monster racist.
IIRC, a git blob has the size of the data encoded in the first 4 bytes of the file, and the data itself appended to it. It could be stored uncompressed, but I don't think there's anything in the git plumbing layer that could deal with it directly.

That said, even if it is compressed, a command like git cat-file could be used to pipe the contents of the file to stdout or any other program that could use them as input without having to create a file on disk.
i like this idea, i think you should look further into it. their might be a market for it
Again, why are people equating weak virtue signaling about milquetoast democratic leanings with singaling about *Anti-semitic conspiracy* mongering? I think the issue isn't about signaling or "when in rome" sort of fitting in, it's that to signal you are part of a the community you have to appear super fringe.
That really sucks, especially given how expensive these things are. Mine is a 55" fwiw. :/

Skip towards the end and Cantrill talks about:

* no_std

* composability of no_std crates

IMO the development-time packaging (cargo) means that as a developer I can have a deep and broad list of dependencies without having to orchestrate my development environment. This is Rust's killer feature, I agree. The fact that you can do it w/no_std is also very awesome.

Form a group of a few like minded people and pressure your representatives to do something.
The cease and desist seemingly has no real legal basis, but I mean you can send a cease and desist for anything you want. My mom was building a shed on her property, some neighbors didn't like it so they had a lawyer send a cease and desist with no legal basis. My mom ignored the C&D and is enjoying her new shed.

The only problem is Facebook is huge and is willing to drag out lawsuits they won't win just to destroy people's lives because they can afford to hold out much longer than everyone else. It's complete abuse of process, and really should be dealt with more harshly than it is.
> they are not important

They are important because they contain a significant portion of many people's address books. When Facebook was offline a few days ago, I had no way of reaching about two thirds of my contacts. And I'm someone who's made a significant effort to move off of Facebook. There were people I wanted to contact that day that the only way to reach them would have been to ask mutual friends for other contact details. And there were a few people that I either don't have mutual friends with or who our mutual friends were also only reachable via Facebook. If legislation aims for some form of "interoperability" the main condition should be that, if Facebook were to disappear again, I would still have the ability to reach all of my Facebook contacts via another network.
No matter what the project is, the first thing I do is what I call "flying a kite across the chasm" - meaning what ever is the purpose of the software, I create the barest implementation of "user starts working" to "user has completed their work" which is the purpose of the software. This is not a GUI or anything a user would use, it is the data transformation from input to final raw output. Once that is in place, the overall stress of "can it be done?" is answered and the rest is being smart about filling out the details. FWIW, my career has been in research, where I'm answering "can it be done?", "can it be scaled?", "can it be financed?" types of questions.
I spent two weeks off the net this summer. The first was car camping. Every day I hiked, swam, kayaked, read, and journaled in addition to the everyday chores of camping with kids and long slow conversations with my wife. The second week I was backpacking solo. I had a little notebook to write in, some questions I had prepared to ponder, and a couple things I wanted to try memorizing. I sang, I talked to myself, I talked to the trees and the squirrels. I was sore, tired, hungry and blistered. I spent entire days intensely focused on a single physical task: getting up or down a mountain. I didn't have any grand epiphanies or clarity, but I felt a wholeness that I struggle to describe.

And naps. Don't underestimate how wonderful naps are.
> Can you show any evidence to your claim that natural immunity is superior?

Sure [1] this is pretty well known at this point.

From an elementary perspective, this is simple math

Spike-Vaccines = Antibody to Protein spike from original Covid

Spike-Vaccine Booster = Antibody to Protein spike from whichever variant

Infection Immunity = Antibodies to spike & other proteins inside the virus & the "Reverse Transcription Defense" [2]. The reverse transcription defense is not well-known at this point, but it is believed to be one of the sources of endogenous viruses found on the human genome (EHV)

One of the papers I read on it stated paraphrased 'these other proteins we see antibodies for in recovered individuals are potential vaccine targets for future vaccines'. However, at this point we do not yet have a vaccine that contains the respective strengths of previous infection based immunity.

In Hinduism one of the main points of doing Yoga is to make a person self aware to be able to process who they are.
Speaking of iteration, iterating over the most popular replies to this tells me that the points which hit home enough to drive engagement are replies to the effect of:

1) "No, my 37 day interview process is good, actually."

2) "Rails sucks"

3) "Making a thing people would want to use is a bad idea."

4) (two long threads) "The 10x programmer exists, I saw him once at a con."

5) "No one cares what anyone else thinks."

HN really does represent the finest that the largest corporations have to offer. The proof is in the pudding.
And your own social network will fail because of network effects. If Facebook can be as terrible as they have been and retain their users, it's really because of their users that they're being propped up with a successful business. I gotta say at that point even I start thinking they owe their users more than a free market exchange would imply.

Not to mention we're talking about them sending a pretty formal legal threat. Would you philosophy in this case not be "if you don't like their browser extension, don't use it?"

For food, farmer's markets usually work well; if you can't find one locally whose hours and sellers sync up with your food needs, look at all your local grocers - there should be at least one who gets a lot of local goods, and puts signs on the shelves proclaiming this.
> It was illegal

It wasn’t an arbitrary choice by a private company. That’s a big difference.

A stupid rule by a highly regulated monopoly is very different from a stupid rule by an unregulated monopoly (maybe member of oligopoly).

> Is the difference between suspension and layoffs that a layoff can collect unemployment insurance while a suspension can't?

Lay off can mean different things, which may or may not qualify for unemployment, but is generally a definite, permanent, or conditioned on external events (not employee actions) loss of employment.

This is conditioned on response to the vaccination requirement, though im December it becomes permanent (and is characterized in the article as being “laid off” at that point.)

> Does suspension lead to fire with cause

While the article calls it a lay off, yes, this looks like it ends with a termination for failure to meet requirements, which is generally a cause that makes unemployment unavailable.
