Though you do get into this weird territory where the side that hates unions also loves police unions and coal mining unions. I've seen people have a full-blown existential meltdown when you point out that their favorite police union is in fact a union in the yay socialism sense. "No that can't be, that's different...." etc.
It varies a lot by state, however. Not every state has private bail bondsmen, bounty hunters, etc.
"The year of Linux on the desktop" is a meme for a specific reason.

It'll take longer than a year.

The claim is funny because you imagine the whole world switching to Linux, like, overnight. Which is obviously unrealistic. It's a gradual process.

But last year Chromebooks outsold Macs. Chromebooks are Linux. Even if they're not "Linux Linux," there isn't much you can do with one that you can't do with most other distributions. Which demonstrates that the barriers to adoption are falling and a major factor is now the need for better marketing.

That still doesn't mean the percentage of desktops running Linux will be at 97% by end of December. But it'll probably be higher than it was last year.
Had a similar situation. Neighbor called cops because he saw a prowler outside his house at 2am. I woke up hearing commotion and went outside to my backyard. Nice young cop was in my yard (no fence between properties) and pointed his drawn gun right at me. My hands went up and I stopped moving. Probably even stopped breathing.

It was a terrible situation for everyone.

No prowler was caught.
I’ve intuitively progressed toward many systems like this on a very experiential basis. Gotta take out formalization and rigidity from ideation.
Wayland has been around for a decade and X.org is in maintenance mode. Linux users have to decide between barely maintained software with a problematic security model or an actively-maintained project that is still somewhat half-baked in places.

“Let’s go Brandon” is an obvious example.
If the mentioned bamboo composite is 95% bamboo and 5% glue (going by comment from hwillis), isn't it fair to say it's 40%-ish bamboo?

5% glue is far from something like carbon composite, where most content is epoxy. Common wood surface treatment is probably more than 5%, yet we don't call it a wood composite.

IMO, total surface sealant makes more of a material difference than 5% glue on the inside.
TCL was a popular scripting language for IRC bots. Eggbot was done really nicely.
> Which is why I refuse to travel outside of the Schengen area

That’s really a crazy mindset man. The US receives ~100m foreign visitors annually. There is nothing special about you, they don’t care about your Facebook profile. Worst comes to worst, you just refuse to unlock your device and they deport you back to where you came from.
That is not my experience. I just tried it twice, searched for Notepad, it opened right up both times and closed the start menu, and I have terminal open with two WSL sessions.

EDIT: OK, now I see it. It is specific to pinned folders in the Start Menu, not search or pinned Apps. I don't generally pin folders to Start so that's why I wasn't seeing it.

Are you sure? Because in neighboring Czechia, a court can definitely rule evidence inadmissible if its gathering was legally unsound.

For example, call recordings that were obtained without lawful permission can be thrown out and actually currently were in a highly visible case.
I would have loved to have seen what would have happened to the East Coast of the US if Colonial wasn't allowed to pay ransomware, or the various beef suppliers in the Americas if they weren't allowed to pay.

Making it illegal to pay just isn't feasible for practical business purposes.

I'm not talking about you specifically, but Microsoft employees in general that Nadella says are working hard in order to sway the opinion of HN users towards you ("you" meaning again not you personally but your company).

EDIT: To clarify: I don't know how this works in practice, I assumed accounts explicitly identified as belonging to Microsoft employees are used, so that Nadella can open HN in the morning and assess the efficacy of your (plural) advocacy efforts. That's why I initially not excluded you could be one of these people as you have introduced yourself as an advocacy person at Microsoft. Now that you said you are not, I see no reason not to believe you. But it doesn't invalidate the fact that other Microsoft employees are trying to game HN and that this activity is very important for your CEO.
I agree sexual predation is an overblown concern; my primary concern is that total unrestrained integration with society will exacerbate existing biological sex disparities:

- trans women will have an advantage over biological women since they will be physically stronger on average

- trans men will have a disadvantage compared to biological men since they will be physically weaker on average

So basically, spaces traditionally carved for biological women could now be usurped by physically stronger self-IDing men in the pursuit of fame, profit, etc.

I'm fine with trans women participating in sports, for example, but I don't think it's fair for self-IDing trans women to compete directly with biological women.

If only there were a way to falsify self-ID claims with physical evidence, this would be a much easier problem.

> My understanding is that in "queer theory" gender is 100% socially constructed. This essentially means "women" are socially constructed. It is hard to have feminism if you don't have "women". This seems to be at the core of the "terf" conflict.

TERFs don't actually disagree with this. They call themselves "gender critical" because they believe all gender roles are socially constructed and that the gender role we call "woman" was constructed so that females would be weaker than males and subservient to them. So when they see someone choosing to join that gender role they become very irked by it and can only explain it in terms of mental sickness or perversion. Likewise they see Female to Male trans people as somewhat more commendable since they are trying to escape the oppression of womanhood, but also bad because they are joining the enemy. Since Janice Raymond in the 70's their idea has been that they can completely eliminate transsexualism by abolishing all gender role distinctions.

Now in practice, TERFs/Gender Crits behave exactly like any other religious conservatives regarding gender. You don't exactly see them encouraging boys to dress like princesses but still identify as boys do you? Instead you see them championing people like Ken Zucker who advocates for feminine boys to be forced to behave in a masculine way, going so far as to deny them access to their mothers in some cases lest she encourage their girlish behavior. Instead they just advocate that gender isn't real therefore sex determines everything forever without making any attempt to open up sex roles to more modes of acceptable behavior.

Mainstream transgender organizations view gender as socially constructed but also related to one's own preferences and personality. Because of that gender may not always align with sex. They do not conflate sex and gender and do acknowledge that sex is a biological reality. They also don't imply that to have feminine preferences is to be lesser than someone having masculine preferences. The notion that transgender people think sex isn't real is a straw man argument. You can find people who say things like this but they don't represent mainstream thought.

What you're more likely to find really is that some trans people and organizations point to disorders of sexual development like androgen insensitivity syndrome, kleinfelter's, etc.... as a way of selling the idea that sex isn't so simple that people should have their entire sense of being and self expression stifled by the size of their gametes. To some people this line of thinking is persuasive, to others it seems like a sellout in that it has an element of nature over nurture to it, and to others still like conservatives and TERFs it's frustrating because it sort of messes with their "biological reality of sex" high ground they've tried to claim thus their most common refrain is to say that such disorders are so rare that they don't matter. (DSDs are about as common as red hair in the US population so make of that what you will). Nevertheless, even this type of argument is a far cry from saying that "sex isn't real" which is what trans people are often accused of.
Back before Covid, if I stopped during my work day and looked at my fellow colleagues, I’d pretty quickly come to the conclusion I don’t want 20-40% of them having a say in how the company is run. I can barely get them to reply to an email or think strategically beyond “let’s do what we did last time”.

If I asked them how we should be compensated as a group it would quickly be apparent they vote for the lowest common denominator.
Any interaction with authorities should be legally required to be recorded. If you are held for 72h, there should be 72 hours of videos, not one minute less.
This isn't a fair premise. Websites have not existed for 500 years and were not possible until roughly around the time of their inception.
Everyone is opening a fab, but it only "counts" if you in fact succeed at making the chips. Otherwise, you've only spent $5 billion on a failure.

Intel has fallen behind because it failed to deliver its 10nm (now called 7nm) process in 2015. Intel tried-and-tried, but failed, to the point where supercomputers (ie: Aurora) were delayed because of the manufacturing mishap.

Just because everyone is __planning__ to open a fab doesn't mean that they'll be successful at it. If Intel fails to reach 5nm (TSMC-name), then TSMC will win.

In fact, TSMC has already started making 5nm chips called the Apple M1 Pro.

---------

Intel has finally delivered 10nm, but they were 5 years late. If it takes another 5 years to deliver their version of 5nm, then TSMC will be at 3nm by the time Intel reaches 5nm

-----------

Its all about manufacturing actually. All of these chip designs can be ported over to different manufacturers, so long as the different manufacturers are __CAPABLE__ of implementing the designs.
I'm glad you persevered, but I don't think your experience means he was wrong. It just means it's not a universal truth that applies literally to everyone, which I don't think he ever suggested. He wasn't really talking about people like you and me who are highly motivated to learn this subject. He was more talking about people who had no idea about the field being discouraged before they even had a chance to find that spark.
So at first everyone was quick to point out that the responsibility for this accident was with the prop master and not Baldwin. It turns out they used a non-union prop master and I will not be surprised if it turns out that this guy was not qualified as an armorer. If so, then the prop master is probably going to jail and civil liability to going to return to Baldwin in his role as a producer of the film.
Which other systems are you referring to? Feudalism, fascism, and communism all produced more inequality than free-market capitalism. Note that equality or inequality involves more than just income and assets.

Environmental degradation is more a function of overpopulation and technology than the economic system. With free-market capitalism we at least have the potential to price in the environmental degredation externality in a fair and consistent way through taxes. That approach has been underutilized so far, but with most other economic systems it's not even an option.
This still doesn't make sense. What type of software do you have installed that's messing with other "apps configuration"? Furthermore, what does "bloatware has the rights to change boot settings" have anything to do with "apps configuration"?
Was in adtech for awhile.

Making sure clicks are real is a massive challenge with many ads networks.
There are a lot of tools that help in sure spambots aren’t stealing all the ad money but they also slow down serving of the ads and sometimes they mess up and block things that shouldn’t.

We’ve had campaigns where we had to allow more spambots simply because the client couldn’t spend enough money, they were willing to waste more to get better reach.

But most clients absolutely love the results when you have really good filters in place. Very low spend and good lead generation.
I think you've been downvoted because of English grammatical errors, but if I understand your point correctly, I whole-heartedly agree:

All intel needs to do is make competitive chips at a good price. In past years, they resorted to more anti-competitive efforts, but at the end of the day, if you make good stuff and sell it at the right price, people will buy the crap out of it.
IMHO making something part of job requirements is coercing, definitely. You may argue that the coercion is justified (just as many other mandates in job requirements coercing employees to do something they might not want to do) but it clearly is coercion, and it seems quite ridiculous to deny that the mandate was made with the intent to coerce people to vaccinate.

That's interesting, any examples of that? The Reddit link doesn't give an example or explanation
The link here isn't exactly the right one - the same thing happened to me when I tried sharing this article previously as well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28933313). Either we both pasted the wrong URL or maybe HN trims off the hashtag part of the URL (with the #capital-as-power on the end of the URL).

Beautiful bamboo home featured on TED and AppleTV, for reference: https://ibuku.com/

Note, little to no bamboo lumber used.

I think these kinds of homes are an excellent idea for the billion or two people living in suitable climate for it.

And maybe a bamboo lumber building can survive in harsher places, too. We will need to experiment to find out.
I will offer an opinion as a staunchly anti-union person, so that you can get a feel for the perspective.

If working conditions and pay suck, I much prefer a UBI so people can work less. It has none of the downsides of the below.

- I want my underperforming colleagues to be fired quickly. It's unfair and annoying that laggards are protected and free riding off their colleagues' (my) effort, and it leads to ineffective orgs.

- I don't want seniority or rank to be rewarded. It's unfair to young people (me) who are more competent and ambitious, and it leads to ineffective orgs.

- I want to negotiate individually because I believe I will make more money as an outperformer. I don't want a centralized handicapper to blunt my compensation.

- I don't like that unions are rent seeking in nature.

- I don't like that unions often are exploited by organized crime.

- I don't like that unions interfere in the broader political process and democracy via activism and political pressure (e.g look at the fact that the new EV subsidies will be going to everyone except Tesla, it's a perversion).

- I think people should be free to organize, but I don't like that the state grants special asymmetric powers to unions.

- I don't like especially public sector unions that I believe are doing significant damage to society broadly. For example police unions that shielded Chauvin after a large number of complaints.
Lyft Says 1,807 Sexual Assaults Occurred in Rides in 2019
You bring up a good point about religion, it does make millions of people feel better by belonging to a group they see as being benign.

But my question still stands, specially on the light of such view of religion: if religion is, these days, meant to give people internal piece, does it need to dictate such practical things as how you should kill animals?! How do you reconcile that with your view on religion?
maybe a power supply with a small 3-5 minute 12V battery built-in?

I also want something hat just works! When I boot Windows, my 2 plugged monitors work seamlessly. When I boot Linux... it's complicated [1] (pragmatically it doesn't work because I am using Nvidia drivers, and won't use the shitty Nouveau drivers. And even if you use them , good luck tinkering for hours with text config files and whatnot)

Linux mint 20 is my main OS in my self-built PC ( and works for me pretty well (for development, browsing and gaming via Proton). But I wouldn't try to convince ANY non-technical user to get into Linux. Because installing it is half the battle, once they start doing "their stuff" (plug a second monitor, plug some device, open some file, etc) there's good chance that it won't work.

There's people that think unions are the devil, and they destroy companies. There's people that think unions are perfect and everyone should be in one because they make everything better. The truth is that unions, at least in the US, have positives and negatives and both are significant. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or delusional. How people weight those two things against each other varies by person.
Based on what gets up and downvoted, most of people on HN are ancap or fascists.

I guess it makes sense - startups are gold rush, VC's are the ones giving away shovels for portion of gold should there be any, and founders are people who either found gold or believe they will.

I wonder if most of people have political outlook like this. If they do, it is both sad and comforting, because then the humanity is doomed to kill ourselves via climate change, but we would deserve it.

That’s why you ask for a defense attorney. Police even tell you this in your Maranda rights. If they fail read you your rights prior to detainment any thing they get in response to their questions or requests cannot be used against you.

I agree that this is problematic - although in principle since they are paid by the click they would be incentivized to direct the bids towards the site most likely to generate a click.
I am having trouble following the security design here. If the server ever decrypts this data, it doesn't matter how you store the keys. If it doesn't, the encryption keys never need to leave the client.

I think you need to start by very clearly defining the security model you are trying to design, and then start talking about constructions to throw at it.

I don't know what the shrug means, but you shouldn't use SRP in a 2021 design.
There’s also a long history of union propaganda - like good ones, it’s usually mixed with truth. The entire Valley of Fear Sherlock Holmes novel was based on union busting.

The fight for employee rights probably had a lot of bloodshed and now that we generally enjoy decent protection, we have forgotten the need for a union.

All these factors add up.
>Seems like a poor example. If there’s all these unused wires owned by people who are losing money, surely a startup could rent capacity on an existing network, or outright buy it if the capital was already available.

Thailand doesnt have regulations in which the government picks a monopoly over a media and then forces them to provide near cost access to competitors. Typically, copper telephone vs cable vs fiber.

Therefore you get that utter mess, and there's no way those wires are properly utilized. It's a high cost to society, aesthetics aside, copper is expensive, fiber is expensive. You would be better to manage it so that you can assign those resources more efficiently.

However, this becomes 1 spot where free market no longer exists. Here in Canada we have Bell Canada who lobbied the regulator and effectively gave themselves a monopoly. The regulated market doesnt get near cost access to the wires.
I started a company like this and ran it for 2y. I spent most of my time doing sales and client management, not building or designing. Read The E-Myth Revisited for an idea of the underlying issue of being a technician vs. business owner.

The market is highly competitive. Google "web design $YOURCITY" and you'll probably find dozens or hundreds of local companies offering the same services. The winners I've seen typically focus on a niche market, which helps them break out of geographic limitations and expand up-market to more lucrative projects.
But we didn't employ bad cops... we employed cops, they just turned bad.

If I hire a plumber, to fix my sink, and the plumber rapes my neighbor and burns his/her house, why should I pay for the damages? If a cop rapes someone, again, why should I pay?
Pinging the World from South Africa
Sure, but as OP put it, "Normalize better security practices!".
Traditions are almost always solutions to a problem. To change tradition we have to analyse the problem the traditional rule solved.

The reason why we have we separate bathrooms and locker-rooms is because there are two groups in society: one with dicks and one without dicks. The problem is that people with dicks can penetrate people without dicks. Obviously, not all people with a dick will do that. Even if the probability is small, the utility cost of unwanted penetration is so catastrophic that dickless people don’t want to be exposed in spaces where there are people with dicks.

A solution is to have two separate spaces. One exclusive for people without dicks and one where you can have either.
Markets naturally lead towards monopolies.
