We don't have jurisdiction over China. There is no such thing as IP theft across state lines without both states agreeing to recognize it as such. Even among countries that do recognize it, it's an insane kludge of treaty and the independent operation of fundamentally incompatible legal systems which can only reach within states themselves and tend to bump into serious obstacles whenever they try to reach across state lines.

Most major corporations deal with this by just registering IP in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously and litigating internationally, which can also be done in China just as you would do it in France or the UK. Redundancy is easier to manage than cross-border cooperation with foreign court orders.
This is what the beginning of a matriarchal tyranny looks like.
This has nothing to do with remote.

Remote teams are usually concentrated in the same timezone too. In-office global companies make a point of having at least a few teams owning a service for this very reason.

Absolutely. I wasn't trying to criticize anyone's beliefs, and I hope I didn't come across as such, and sincerely apologize if it did.

My only point was exactly that it's not a great idea to take a religious experience and analyze it as an example of a basic biological phenomenon.
I don't know how to take this comment seriously. Of course people don't want to deploy "random crap", but yes, people want to deploy software more easily--it's not clear to me why this is such an awful thing.

> I'd wager "rootless" is a bug, not a feature in this scenario.

You would be mistaken. Containers don't have any magic that makes it easier or harder to run as root. In this respect, they're just Linux processes, and an administrator can run them as root or not. And like Linux processes, the widely-understood best practice is to run them without root, and indeed many orchestrators require you to explicitly opt-in to "privileged execution".

As point of fact, containers have strictly more security layers than vanilla Linux processes. They are typically thought to have weaker isolation properties than VMs, which is why we (as an industry) invariably run containers (and vanilla Linux processes) inside of VMs or forego multi-tenancy altogether.
This would be hard to track when you see the scale of Apple's logistics!
Of course you could, if you can catch it when it's in stock. There's nothing else stopping you from doing that.
I do not understand this Debian 'which' kerfuffle, but seems a big argument over nothing.

But for me, 'type' is my go to in scripts. And as a tcsh user, I never knew 'which' was a thing in Bourne shells until I checked a few minutes ago. I do not know when it appeared, but I thought in the 'old days' 'which' was specific just to [t]csh.

Also, I never heard of 'command -v' until I saw it in LWN a few days ago :)

Even in criminal matters, they don't do the investigation for you, they do it for public prosecutors, which may or may not have incidental utility to you.
ML News – Nvidia GTC'21 Buys MuJoCo [video]
I have a friend who was almost the buyer of a house in the UK in a very similar situation. Fundamentally, it relied on the seller buying counterfeit identity documents (passport and driving licence) off the internet. That way, in theory, the identity checks were all conducted.

There was the suggestion that the seller's solicitor was in on it, but no firm evidence. The seller has been arrested at least.
Right, that's why they get an extra 2%.
Is that worse than simply not being able to scale the other half of the apps that do work without kludges like this?
I think the point being made here is what can be done in the browser only, sans extensions
Point being, it doesn't help you finding /usr/bin/command via regular search in PATH and it reports the builtin instead.
Not sure why the outcome of "`which` is not POSIX" would be "essentially everybody should stop using `which` and start using `command -v`, which is poorly known, has different semantics, and is covered in relatively little introductory material" rather than "this is just another example of why POSIX has been nearly irrelevant for a long time now".

systemd is not POSIX, either, but that's not taken as some justification for removing it from Debian – this whole drama is just pointless pedantry over something precisely because it is so low stakes.
GNU Linux-Libre 5.15 Kernel Is Here for Those Who Seek 100% Freedom
The article says "Police initially told him it was not fraud but are now investigating." My guess is the police couldn't be bothered.

A friend of mine had a problem with squatters moving into his house (which wasn't empty). Initially the police refused to get involved until he got his solicitor to point out it was a criminal issue.
> That's a CNN blunder that claimed that 2% of Elon Musk's wealth could solve world hunger

That's a blunder on the headline of the article, sure, but is the suggestion here that Elon whipped out that offer to liquidate $6B without reading the article itself or watching the interview on the topic? Direct quote from the interview where the UN rep was talking about it, which was also included in the original article:

"$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated"
I did, but lots of things that are supposed to be destroyed end up on secondary markets.
Maybe next time, adopt a nigerian...
Now you can add "squirrel trolling" to your résumé, sweet.
No, I think the issue is that police would have no power to "take the house back" because it was legally purchased. They could investigate the fraud committed by the seller against other organisations but specifically, the real owner is not the victim of criminal fraud.

I don't think he will have any ablity to forceably reobtain the house, although potentially, if he refunded the buyers money (after getting it from the accused), they might agree to give it to him back. On the other hand, if already cleared, it would probably be easier for the real owner to get his money back and buy somewhere else.

Very sad though.
Sure, but I'm the one writing software for this computer and I do /not/ trust myself to be efficient.

Of course I haven't tried banking in anything over 48KB yet so I don't even know if my circuit works, but it boots!
> It does have the excuse that it was being developed before Vulkan

This is not true, Mantle was first. AMD donated the code to khronos and it became/was developed in public. Half way through Apple announced it would do its own thing and beat Vulkan to v1.0.0.

Apple might have had a v1 before Vulkan but they're still dicks for not helping build a unified standard around AMDs generous once a generation offer.

> But if you’re building a CRUD web app, that’s maybe only used internally by your company and backed by SQL Server you probably have to never give it a thought.

Until you get complaints that the hour-long reconciliation transaction you run in the morning is locking out all the users, or there's an API a customer hits that's erroring out 1% of the time because Sybcoughuh, Wonderful Microsoft SQL Server has detected a deadlock, and this is causing us to lose customer orders, or...

No, you really need to know what ACID means, and what tradeoffs are made to balance ACID with other considerations in your chosen database implementation. Lumping ACID in with vague heuristics like SOLID on the basis that they're both acronyms is just plain ignorance.
Big Tech finally reckons with climate denialism
Should the region/counties that have a smaller population but different work forces or geographical makeup not have representation? Population alone cannot dictate the house of representatives.
True, but maybe the animals are less picky than we are.
Based on the title I was thinking this was a quiz. I am imagining a game where it shows two shell snippets and you need to select the one that works correctly under a strict POSIX environment.
>3. Another tactic is voter roll purges. A lot of folks don't know that they've been unenrolled from the voter rolls till they show up on election day. This particularly effects renters who might not realize they aren't registered at their current address, and miss mail regarding it because its sent to their former address.

I hear this a lot, but states do have to keep their voter rolls up-to-date by law. People move in and out all the time, and not everyone votes in every election. Are there mechanisms that you think are effective in reducing the chances of someone mistakenly getting removed, while still allowing for stale records to be dropped?

> What percentage of the 0.04% CO2 in Earth's atmosphere do humans contribute?

Since CO2 ppm nearly doubled since pre-industrial times then humans are responsible for nearly half of the CO2 in the atmosphere.

> Has it yet been absolutely proven 100% that a gas comprising 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere is the main culprit/control knob which controls climate(s) around the Earth?

Yes, for reasonable definitions of "proven 100%".
All my knowledge about this has come from Media articles
Covering the dangers of using huawei tech, but I haven’t seen anything that describes Chinese attacks using huawei equipment. We do know the long history of China sponsored hacking and it’s not a leap to go so far as to think Huawei could be compelled to backdoor equipment. For that reason not using Huawei is safer for national security one way or the other.

However, on Capitol Hill, I think the idea is more to harm China than protect. I remember that the Washington metro trains were almost blocked because they are built by a Chinese company. Someone in congress dreamed up a Tom Clancy plot where the Chinese could bring down Washington by hijacking their transit system.
> There's literally zero context to suggest that I might be serious in accusing another poster of being a pedophile, even if they were it wouldn't make sense for me to randomly drop that.

Sure, but I think you're overestimating the integrity of the internet if you think that people don't just drop random pedophile accusations for folks that they disagree with. I'm not saying it's "fair", because I get that you were just trying to make a rhetorical point, but I'm saying that people on the internet are often douchebags, ruining a lot of the fun for us. I love edgy humor and sarcasm, between my wife and I we make a ton of off-color jokes, but I usually keep those offline because I don't want to group in with the awful people who misuse them.
The difficulties of multi-threading code to me is not about crashes or protecting shared states or ownerships. It is about reasoning how it might interleaving between these protected critical sections. For these, mutexes / locks / atomics are the wrong level of abstractions to reason about on daily basis.

I haven't used Structured Concurrency long enough to form an opinion whether that is the right level of abstraction or not.
It might seem callous, and it might be (and I know some people have poor mental health at times and social media onslaughts won't help) but my solution is to not let things affect me. If Viktor Frankl could do it in death camps, I think it's something everyone can rely on. You can also become the heel, become the "villain", and use that abuse to gain influence rather than lose it; most social media abuse is unjustified so there's nothing unethical about this. The alternative is having people go to jail or get a suspended sentence because they insulted J.K Rowling in a tweet.
How have drones not solved this problem yet?
Trying to secure a container via non-VM means is a painful slog. You can pretend containers give you security, and then one of the hundreds of different attack vectors provides a breakout. It's been demonstrated time and again, largely because Linux security is just shit and always has been.

we’ve been oligarchic since at least the 90s, so it doesn’t really matter that there are two major parties. in fact, having two parties has been an effective shield against criticism and activism, keeping us distracted (see every comment on hn and beyond that mentions democrat/republican, liberal/conservative, etc.) from the real roots of our growing inequality and stagnation. consolidation of power, wealth and influence is the enemy of the people, as it’s been for all of human history. we keep failing at understanding this throughout that history to our continued collective misery.

we need to (continue to) decentralize governments and markets. we now have the technological means, so it’s largely a matter of popular will at this point.
Apple is the worst of them all. They are much more restrictive and arbitrary with their app store policies (see previous HN articles over the last 5 years), they have done much more to lock down their devices to prevent circumvention of things like banning emulators, and they don't license the apple device model to other vendors, so they are the true definition of a walled garden. Google has plenty of problems too, but at least random device companies can make android devices, and third party app stores are (sort of) allowed to exist.
Sometimes I see an "Experts Say" headline and wonder why we need an expert to say something that is so obvious to everyone. If there's one thing that unites all Americans, maybe every person on earth, it's damn Daylight Saving Time.

I've yet to meet anyone who celebrates those days!

I assume someone must think it's still a good idea for some reason?
They were. I still have one that I bought when they were released. Well, just a bit after they were released. At WWDC that year, the SF Apple Store sold out of them before I could get there after the announcement.
Wow this is the same case that came up two years ago, where LinkedIn tried to argue that a violation of the ToS was CFAA. "Court: Violating a site’s terms of service isn’t criminal hacking" [0]. I made a comment at the time [1]:

> So Microsoft chose a method of authorization that is unfit for the purpose of keeping people they don't want to have access out of their system. "But but but how else would they keep people off?" I don't know, but it doesn't matter. Make people sign a contract under supervision of a notary, or validate their drivers license, or whatever. The fact that Microsoft is too lazy to implement a solution that effectively implements their desired policy isn't material to what the actually implemented policy enables.

Well, he certainly whipped it out to rhetorically appeal to people who hadn't read the article or watched the interview, whether or not he personally read/watched them.

Yes, I pay higher premiums because the risk pool is large and includes high risk high cost individuals even though I'm low risk. I can afford it. Me. I can't afford dying (got dependents?), or long covid, which IMO worse than death in severe cases. The messaging for vaccination has been straightforward enough for me: I get it to protect me, you get it to protect me if only for herd immunity. Yes vaccine effectiveness fades over time, but you can get a booster. And, I think in places where the vaccination rate fraction is over 90% (arbitrary high threshold) things will get back to normal.

You arguably can't build something like Iridium or Starlink without it - the thing that.. makes me question Starlink was the choice of optical sat to sat links.

There are other issues with minimum spot beam sizes that make me wonder if Starlink can make money, but that choice alone made me ask a whole bunch of questions right out of the gate.

Just updated that. Thanks!
If your job realised they had misevaluated you once you started working for them, they would let you go (if they’re professional). You should take the same attitude to them.

If you had another offer or got close during your job hunt, consider reaching back out to those places.
Developers eventually go on to make their own site and paste the same content there.

That will be the end game.

Not sure how much they earn behind the wall.
Even if you use the nominal value of $1600 as opposed to the "real" value, you're getting way more capabilities.

I bought my 2003 VW Golf brand new from the dealer for CA$ 30K all-in, and after inflation that's the equivalent of about CA$ 40K nowadays. I'd get a pretty good car with much better tech and safety even for $30K, and could get something relatively fancy for $40K.
I remember talking about such scenario like decade ago and people were telling me I am a conspiracy theorist and the EU would never do something like this as it breaches human rights. I guess it's too late now. Too much money and powerful people involved.
Also sad to see a defense attorney's unsubstantiated and self-serving claims presented as Absolute Truth. "Diligence" doesn't mean just cherry-picking whatever source or narrative suits you.
