>The San Francisco Police generally don't do anything to stop deranged homeless...

I don't know that that's true, but I think it's pretty clear that homeless, mentally ill drug addicts are a different problem.

>The point is that there is no universal worldwide standard of tolerable behavior

These arguments always baffle me, as they essentially suggest that nothing means anything and we have no way of determining what a civilized, functioning society should look like. Yet, here we are — with laws and everything.

There's a reasonableness standard applied to these things. We apply it for every scenario where gray areas exist. It's also why we have judges, juries and a court system.

>Would you be happy if the laws of Saudi Arabia or North Korea were enforced online?

I'm missing how the laws of Saudi Arabia or North Korea have anything to do with this case in the UK or a hypothetical one in the US.
it doesn't depend on time. the parliament can reject it every single time without it ever getting tired.

and since the MEPs represent the same people who elect governments who then delegate to the commission, it's strange if the commission continues to propose regulations that are unpopular.
... but the "users" also attract the "developers".

There's not just the question of removing obstacles (missing drivers) but also the question of what real advantages of a particular x-BSD. Is it just that people don't like the GPL or is there some concrete reason I'm going to have a better experience with an x-BSD?
I think it that case there must be a tangible direct need to have their personal testimony, not just nice to have due to their expertise.
> However, they were surprised when they learned of the “anti-dumping mechanism,” which in hindsight now appears to be more of an anti-selling mechanism.

> Here’s the problem: the project’s creators didn’t just create one token, they created two.

> The other cryptocurrency is called Marbles — and this asset can only be earned by taking part in the project’s play-to-earn game. Only those who have accrued Marbles actually have the ability to sell their SQUID on the open market.

This is one of the most blatant scams, or really traps as far as crypto tokens go. So clearly this token had forced liquidity issues.

> Unfortunately, many of the articles published about SQUID failed to make it clear this token is not officially affiliated with Netflix — giving it a sheen of respectability that may have lulled investors into a false sense of security.

Is it really expected that the token was related to Netflix? Its a meme-coin and thats not new. If you think you're "investing" in coins and this is how you invest, then you're not a good investor. You may think you're investing, but you're just buying into a joke. This is why the SEC has rules around investments, and this is why everyone is told that good practice is to buy indexes. People _should_ know better but often don't.

Also, it looks like there was something fishy going on to trick people into thinking the token was valuable, either intentionally or accidentally. It looks like there was a liquidity issue, and that could have enabled a large holder to push the price really high in a short time - because if not enough people are selling, then whatever price some rando asks can be the new market price. That would also explain the immediate crash - the whale was done and left.

> CoinMarketCap had received multiple reports of users struggling to sell SQUID on the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap.

It looks like coin had very low liquidity.

> Just 35 minutes later — at 9.35am — SQUID appeared to hit highs of $2,861.80. A surge of 7,500% in three-and-a-half hours is unheard of… even in the notoriously volatile world of cryptocurrencies.

And it seems like some one over-paid or otherwise pushed the price high, probably also some frenzy and excitement thrown in.
Signs that a startup’s ‘impact’ is just a marketing ploy for investors
I seriously doubt that would ever happen. Devices do not have a "always DST" mode, but they do in fact have a "never DST" mode.

In order to stay in DST, the region would have to completely change which timezone they observe. Pacific Time would observe Mountain Time, Mountain -> Central, Central -> Eastern, and Eastern would have to observe whatever GMT-4 is.
But surely the land registry has an existing relationship with the real owner of the land? Isn't that the entire point of the land registry, to be able to contact and deal with the person who owns a particular piece of land?
If you're implying what I think you're implying it would probably end with you in prison.
I will also cast a vote for Starting Strength. Get the book. Watch videos on YouTube. Then find a local certified trainer (hopefully there's one near you) to learn how to do it correctly. Proper technique is super important. If you don't lift correctly you will not be able to make progress and are likely to hurt yourself.

I did all of the above many years ago and even went to a seminar taught by Mark. If you don't know anything about strength training, this is the path.

Diet is super important. If you do not eat correctly you will not make progress. More importantly, don't expect strength training to be a weight loss program. It is not. In fact, you could get fatter and stronger at the same time.

If becoming lean is your primary objective, go to a knowledgeable nutritionist and get on a keto-type diet. Train yourself to be strict and consistent about your diet. It might take you a year or more to develop the right habits. Diet is EVERYTHING. Go take walks every day as your exercise.

I cannot over-stress the idea that diet is the most important thing to focus on if one is interested in becoming lean. For most of us we have to shake really bad eating habits that may have been cemented into our brains over decades. This is tough. And this is the first thing you need to work on body composition is a priority.

Having changed eating habits you can then start to look into exercise to optimize muscle and strength to the degree that might interest you. There's a difference between body building and strength training. In a nutshell, someone with big muscles isn't necessarily stronger. I'd rather be stronger.

So, diet first, exercise moderately until you learn how to eat better and achieve the kind of balance you are after and then add a higher level of exercise to get stronger. You will need to eat more. That's why it is important to learn to eat well.
Most of my clocks auto-adjust but my sleep schedule still gets sabotaged 2x a year. What's that about?
Now add northern vs southern hemisphere scheduling. When DTS would work backwards and is also out of sync.
What's uncommon is the period after. Most employment contracts have a 4 weeks to 3 months notice period, both for the employer and the employee. This is very different from the US and Canada, where people give a 2 week notice.
Zuck became good friends with the administration that has appointment the majority of the nationwide judiciary at all levels of government.

Probably something to do with that.
Pretty much true everywhere.

It’s not like you can take anything with you when you’re dead, owning materials is really just a societal construct no matter which way you slice it.
> I sure can! I literally just did. It's a poor tactic to refute something that's already happened...

Exponential growth doesn't grow forever, when talking about populations the curve is more of an "S" shape due to upper limits. After a point it turns into exponential backoff as herd immunity is approached.

And you're right that overweight/obese doesn't follow either curve, but what you're missing is that it's already really high, and pretty stable at that point.

It's kinda like arguing C * O(n) is worse than C * O(1), but completely ignoring that in practice n < 10 in either case, but C = 1 for the first and C = 100 in the second.

I love this comment, I have no idea if it's ironic or just the purest distilled hackernews philosophy
> It makes you step outside your ordinary reality and truly live in someone else's shoes.

One of the biggest emotional hits to me was "Der Untergang", or "Downfall" in English (aka: Angry Hitler Meme movie). Spending 1-week in Hitler's shoes, with an incredible amount of detail / historical accuracy, brought me a huge amount of appreciation for what was going on during WW2, in a way that few other stories (be it reading, anime, movies, TV-series) have ever affected me before.

Non-fiction, when done well, can give you a hugely different perspective on life.

* Technically, you spend ~1 week in Traudl Junge's shoes, who serves as Hitler's personal secretary. But she was in the room when all major events happened: from Hitler's Birthday (aka: when the Russians started shelling Berlin), to the final defense plans, to the Goring Telegram, to helping Hitler write his final will / testament. To the planning of Hitler's suicide (which wasn't easy in the circumstances). To helping write the last will/testament to Goebbel + those events. To the escape from the bunker while surrounded by Russian troops.

-----------

Since this story is "real", it just hits differently. Even though Hitler + Goebbel were probably the most evil people on Earth at that time... the perspective of "Downfall" was incredibly human. There's a story to be told here about the expectations of leadership, the stress of losing, the worries about your worldview going extinct, etc. etc.

> Reading non fiction is only useful to the extent to which you can apply this information in your daily life.

I hope I'll never be trapped in a bunker contemplating angry Soviet capture/torture vs Suicide. But the story that contemplates the two choices really gives you an understanding of the final WW2 events much better.
I use the Quest 2, but there are a lot of important things to note. You have to use the right fonts to get text to be crisp/clear enough. I use the Input font, I've mentioned it a few times here.

The biggest problem with wearing it for hours is comfort. The strap that comes with the Quest 2 is not good enough. You will feel the weight of it on your cheeks the most, it will get sore pretty quickly. You have to upgrade. I use a halo strap from VR Panda, it solves that problem for me.

Location: US / Midwest

Remote: Yes, last 3 years 95% remote, with lots of communication

Willing to relocate: Fractional — up to two weeks per quarter on-site

Technologies: Developer generalist & hands-on trainer — Full stack React / TS, Python, C#, Bash, and most things in between, about 20 years of professional experience.

Résumé/CV: https://neolefty.org/resume/resume.txt

Email: hn@orangecrayon.com

Interested in: Helping teams make transitions; Startups; Work with interesting outcomes.

Hello! I'm a generalist developer who leans towards front ends, and a hands-on trainer. I'm finishing up a 3-year contract development project to help a company transition from legacy techs to a mobile-first web app — leading front-end development and training employees in React & devops. They're just about ready to go on their own now, so it's time for something new.

Before that I worked with startups and academic research projects, with time off in China to teach high school 2011-2016.
Yes, and reasonable places have them.

This is why we neuter dogs, primarily (population control and backyard breeder nightmare control)

Some places have reasonable laws RE: dog ownership restrictions.
For some of us, it's not in the cards. That appears to be the case for us.
I think this is quite clever and it made me chuckle! I think it's plausible that access to a mediocre mentor could actually have better results, though, than reading books by the best mentors. Naturally there is room for both, but I have learned a ton from practitioners (for lack of a better work) who are decidedly average compared to Warren Buffett's mentors (or Isaac Newton).
New pentest certification exam shows just how complicated the job has become
What capacity are you using it in?

Hobbyist? Prototyping? Possible manufacturing?

I love the ESP product family and they're in a ton of cheap IoT goods.

I think if you're talking about hobbyist stuff, there's no reason not to start with an ESP32.

FreeRtos makes scaling your codebase a dream compared to the usual AVR stuff, they're powerful, they can be low-ish power, there's a peripheral for everything, and the IO Matrix is genius (no more worrying about having specific pins open for specific peripherals like I2C).

But for production, I don't think ESP is up to the standards of *NXP and TI when it comes to power consumption (although I might be behind on that with the new RISC parts)

I also don't think the Wifi stack on the ESP-32 is quite as mature, and if you use off the shelf libraries there are a ton of pitfalls when it comes to reliability

But the tooling is great, and there's a ton of activity surrounding them so for me none of those are deal breakers.
It would be impossible. If we had hard rules, like you couldn't say "Fuck Joe Biden," it would easily be circumvented with a coded language like "Let's go Brandon," and therefore useless. We would have to constantly be upgrading the language to accommodate all the coded language. Eventually lawmakers will get sick of fooling with it and it will either stop, being half baked, still under penalty of imprisonment; or they will make some umbrella law that basically restricts nearly all speech under penalty of imprisonment. It's got noble intentions, but really gets ugly when you start to map out implementation.

It's also has the "I know it when I see it," aura to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it
Not so simple since you only have one vote and politicians have thousands of choices to make during their time in office.

I strongly oppose domestic spying laws like this, AND I oppose uneducated immigration too. There is no party that shares both of these views.

In other words the current system will always boil down to choosing between bad options that will screw you over some way or another. I wish there was an alternative...

Forgive me, but this reads like "we're avoiding a giant coordination problem by implementing a giant coordination problem".

It would be just as easy to remind everyone that winter hours start on X date as to remind them to change their clocks on X date.
