That depends on the terms - not everything goes. For example, they don't get to say that you must only use Facebook while naked.

And in this case, I would argue that this is a case where they should not have the ability to restrict this kind of interaction. If the law disagrees, then the law needs to be changed (and in the meantime, ignored to the extent possible).

The workers had a choice, though, get vaccinated or lose the job. It's not like the spouses and children who are now without a breadwinner because the employed parent was among the thousands of dead.
I guess the grand irony of all this is that data scientists — of which, the "good" ones (rational Spock-types, highly technical, sometimes to their own detriment) are, historically, not socially inclined — are the ones responsible for optimizing _social_ media platforms in the first place.

I need to look into this.

Just yesterday I lost some work (only maybe 10 minutes worth) when I was updating my org notes. I staged some files, committed them, but made a typo in the commit message. I ended up reverting the commit when I meant to amend. Then I discarded the the staged reverted changes and noticed the status said I was still reverting. So I looked up the command to get me out of that state. I ran 'git revert --abort' and it blew away my unstaged changes. Ah well, those versioned backups I have Emacs do are going to save me this time, or so I thought.
Because it’s bad overall. It pushes for large monolithic corporations instead of specialized companies.

Also, you do get to deduct expense when doing value adding business activities. Just incorporate. Likewise corporations can’t deduct (loopholes aside) “leisure activities”

Eh, the Borland Grahics Interface (BGI) style TUIs were kind of awful. I hated the Borland Turbo C IDE in no small part because of that style TUI. It just wasted so much precious character space on TUI frames and other decorations.

More of my fond TUI memories from that era were the bespoke ones in the demo/art/music/bbs scenes. Those in many cases were still character based but seemed to make better use of the screen space and at least more aesthetically pleasing character sets.

Why should any insurance cover elective procedures? You could also add things like beauty surgeries, hair transplant, lasik surgeries etc. (I know that EU insurances often cover birth control, but I think that's mostly because it's a drug prescribed by a doctor so it fits into the framework... I don't think it should cover birth control (except maybe for young people before they start working) - that's not insurance, it's just a subscription service so you're better off buying it directly.)
> If we're at the point of society of banning things

We’ve been at that point for, literally, all of recorded history. You are a little late to the realization.

> I don't see why we can't just ban sugar.

We can. The question is whether we should; banning popular, habituating substances has a pretty bad track record of doing more to exacerbate than solve the problems associated with consumption, as well as being a source for all kinds of additional problems.

“Banning” isn't the same thing as “magically eliminating”.
It seems equally unlikely to me that the Pentagon would let loose the nukes after losing a single SSN and having no other indication of an invasion. For one thing, it would probably take days to confirm the sub was sunk, and by that time the lack of an invasion should be clear. All the other American ships in the area being unscathed would also be a pretty big clue.

To be frank I'm not even sure I believe America would start a nuclear war at all even if Taiwan really were being invaded.

Ask HN: As a European, what should I expect working for an American company?
I'm a western European software developer who is receiving offers from US companies, likely due to the recently increased acceptance of remote work.

Since I'm considering those offers, I'm curious about the differences in work culture. I'm particularly interested in the experiences of Europeans who have worked for American companies, and viceversa.

I'm asking in the broadest of senses, so anything goes, from benefits through work politics to dos and don'ts.

This could be somewhat unpopular as an opinion, but Titanic's sinking has been romanticized greatly, fueled partly by a slew of Hollywood movies. There were several great ships marking their firsts - Titanic was just one of them of its time.

If we delve into 20th century maritime history, passenger accounts & disaster records of ships such as SS Lusitania or MV Wilhelm Gustloff were far more shocking to read, as compared to RMS Titanic.

> But when you use your computer to access a remote service you need to comply with their terms of service.

The only moral obligation is to not crack the server and take control of it. We won't make the server's processor execute our code. That's the line. Your computer runs your code, my computer runs my code.

Anything else is fair game. Server responds to my HTTP requests, so obviously anything I can do with HTTP requests is allowed. It doesn't matter what I use as user agent since it's the company's own code that's handling those requests.

Ironically, taking over control is exactly what big tech is doing with our computers. They take control away from us and give it to the copyright industry, to the advertisers, to everyone who would very much prefer that we users remain mere passive consumers just like in the days of television. Our computers are slowly becoming appliances.

"Not spotless" is another way of saying that her writings were rife with anti-semitism and anti-indigenous sentiments that pretty much everyone today should find reprehensible. The fact that these sentiments are fundamentally baked into her cosmology via her root races ideology blights her efforts with regard to mysticism.

I'll go farther and say that I think celebrating her without detailed qualification and acknowledgement of these issues (saying she's "not spotless"/"wasn't perfect", etc. obviously doesn't count), along with wantonly dismissing people who take issue with this content, is both extremely irresponsible and extremely unkind, not to mention deeply immature.

Been fighting the same fight. Anytime someone sends me a file with a with _FINAL_XYZ_approved_modified_etc I delete all that stuff and increment the version number before I send it back to them. Folks eventually catch on. It helps that I'm the one writing procedures for the document management people to follow. One surprising (to me) argument against was that people don't like it when the first version we produce (meaning our group throws it over the wall to another group) is higher than version 0. I shrug and say, it's just a number.

Sure there's lots of more robust ways to track versions. But the above simple convention is a step function in quality of life while requiring hardly any work.

I agree, a lot of free market arguments just boil down to maintaining an imagined status quo. What I take issue with is that the real status quo is an unspoken rule that everyone understands but nobody ever talks about. Most of it boils down to appeal to nature in the form of "the strong rule over the weak" and actual freedom for all people is basically irrelevant.
I think you would find many take issue with the concept that those getting rich are by definition the ones who "earned" it, or produced the value. Almost by definition I produced more value than my salary.

There's also the issue of resources. How is it that a corporation can own the oil under my land? Why should that common resource be controlled by some private entity rather than being used for the common good?

There's a balance in all things and attempting to boil this down to "there are two kinds of people" is reductive and unhelpful.

That's not really true, you can go around language limitations. Go has codegen for generics, JavaScript has TS for static types, Babel for """macros""". Lots of propositions that are not in JS now can be used with Babel. Python has C extensions.

It looks pretty much identical to the Turbo Pascal IDE for anyone that's feeling nostalgic and wants to write some yellow on dark blue code.

Even better - Free Pascal comes with Free Vision, which is mostly compatible with Turbo Vision. Turbo Vision was the toolkit Borland provided that would let you write your own text-mode GUI apps using the same widgets used to build the Turbo Pascal IDE.

I did not imply anything about how OP spends their time. I was referring to how I used to spend my time, which is much more clearly implied in that I refer to my own history of bad habits.

The evidence is massive and drastic that the eating habits of the majority of Americans are killing us. Maybe approaching 50 is making me care less about insulting sensitive internet randos than with helping people understand the consequences of poor eating habits and the fairly simple way one can change. Sorry for caring.
Thanks... that is what I thought. Honestly, like I mentioned, I don't see that as a particularly useful advantage.

The thing is, there is no single line that makes a library suitable for my project, whether it's for a constrained environment or not. I carefully consider many aspects of a library, all from the perspective of what, specifically, my project needs. no_std might be one thing to look for, but I don't know that it's really answering that many of my questions. Also, in my embedded dabbling, there seem to be such an incredibly rich set of libraries available for constrained environments it is astounding. So the lack of no_std doesn't seem to be holding non-Rust back.

I really don't think no_std changes that at all.

Also a good explanation of how regulations benefit businesses. Unregulated markets are highly inefficient, diverting many resources to that kind of BS. Also, most people actually don't like cheating each other, even if it's legal, and want to operate in places where there's not competitive pressure to do it. (Of course, not every regulation is beneficial to everyone.)
Romans perfected plastic surgery because of gladiators. (Owners take care of their slaves, which are valuable.) They even used obsidian blades, which reduces scarring. That skill was lost for almost 2,000 years.

The practical reason is that this would penalize smaller companies working together over large, vertically integrated ones. If company A sells an item for $10 and buys $8 in parts from company B, who buys $6 in parts from company C, the total taxed amount will be $10+8+6 = $24, while a totally vertically integrated company would only pay tax on $10.

You can get around that by only taxing the value added ($10-$8 etc) which is a VAT tax and a popular way for countries to raise revenue.

The bigger issue is companies transact with consumers, workers, and shareholders. But when you have a tax, what matters is really what transaction you tax and not which side of the transaction pays the tax. For example, payroll and income taxes both reduce wages. If you tax revenue, that's basically taxing the transaction from consumer->company, so that tax (VATs, sales taxes, etc) falls on the consumers.
Who can say what they are happy with, but perhaps they benefit from not being strong-armed by companies into not taxing them.

I agree in part, but they are failing if their system is imitated by everyone else.

Every time there is a thread on HN where people are debating the right way to filter applicants, the premise that goes unexamined is that there is one optimum, whether it's Google's procedures or something else.

But it's not just Google that can't hire everyone qualified. It's every employer.

Say, for simplicity, that any employer is only able to hire 1% of their applicants.

If they all used some optimal procedure, then they will all be fighting over the same 1% and the other 99% will be unhireable and start a revolution or something.

This is inescapable, I think, no matter what the so-called optimum is. It's like...a Doomsday Schelling Point.

Each company can disregard the fate of those filtered out, but only if their methods are sufficiently diverse.
But why would Google bother to waste time and resources figuring out if it's actually valid or not? They don't seem to do that on YouTube.

That is the main feature of the recruiting system, the whole reason they do it is so that managers can't circumvent the standard process no matter what.

> Teens who use Facebook products are known to be harmed

There is nothing special about Facebook products that make them harmful.

It's a glorified message board which facilitates the exact same harmful social interaction that is prevalent on other sites e.g. TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat.

This idea that you can ban Facebook and Instagram and suddenly the internet is safe for kids is just ridiculous.
You know that Newton didn't "discover gravity," right? He discovered how it explained planetary motion.

And it's not fair to start the clock before we got the heliocentric theory (although Aristarchus of Samos gets an honorable mention).
Take one step back. The interaction might not be political in itself but the desire to be able to engage in it might be. As others said, buying a lawn mower isn't political. Demanding that the product you are buying is safe and that economic transactions are done with USD or Bitcoin is definitively political.
