Yes, if the new CEO decides to fire all the management who has been there for a while, replace them with his buddies, and drastically lower the hiring bar so the buddies can hire their buddies.

Well I'm right here, but I don't know how to run for office and I probably would get crucified for entirely unrelated opinions (which I would be willing to change if given adequate reason). Probably a lot of people like me (and I assume you?) out there. We just aren't on the ballot, even if sometimes we might be entirely qualified.
No, I don't need statistics to understand covering the faces of young children for extended periods is going to harm their social development. Do you disagree that social cues are important, and come from facial expressions? Do you need a study for this? I sure don't. I guess we'll have to see which children have stronger development going forward.. masked or unmasked schools. It's a risk I certainly wouldn't take with my own kids.
Which isn't something you have. It's something you know, gated behind something you have.
Blame NextEra Energy:

> But opponents, supported by U.S. power company NextEra Energy Inc (NEE.N), which has competing generating projects in New England, argued that the line would cause permanent damage to Maine’s north woods and hurt the region’s tourism industry.

Also note the line is already 75% completed.

Yes, there were occasional reports of people traveling to Iran, Cuba or North Korea who then happened to have their accounts blocked out.
And if GitHub did not block Iranian developers _before_ it obtained the exemption, it would be in violation of sanctions, which carries both criminal and pretty much unlimited financial charges.

I don't know whether HN violates sanctions, but comparing to GitHub HN is very, very small fish. The chances that GitHub would swim under the radar were pretty slim.

Really, "this company obeys the law, so it is evil" is lame.
I would have said "cool, I just saw Fast & Furious as well" (which released exactly 20 years ago funny enough)
Yes they're obligated to offer a 'reasonable' warranty but this isn't what you get if you register. You get a significantly increased warranty as stated by other commenters getting a card upgrade years after their card failed.

EVGA are particularly generous in this regard compared to others.
Where are Mozilla getting these people from? Are they hiring marketing people from the fashion industry?
it has some nice features that ts doesn't have: opaque types (can be done by nominal tying in ts). More stringent JSX, but only slightly.

I think that's it these days. Flow used to have (slightly) more features but now TS has way more already and even more to come. The Flow people moved on to Recript, or whatever name they call it these days.

Oh yeah I see what you mean. That sounds like we can optimize there. It's probably unlikely that a completely valid installation id and code comes back for the wrong app? I'm probably clutching at straws. Maybe the app is uninstalled by the time the redirect makes it back. Also unlikely. You are probably right that it is redundant.

The government could forcefully take properties from owners and chuck random people off the street in to them. The majority of these properties will end up ruined. Or the government could build their own housing to use for this purpose. I can tell you which idea would be more popular with voters.
That's not how MFA works.

You've given me a good laugh here. It's clear to pretty much anyone what I mean about industrial uses, so you're just responding to what you mistake as pedantry with pedantry. Anyway, I won't spend any more time here. Have fun, you've picked a strange hill to die on.
counter point: after working for small owner-run companies where the owner took everything personally, I will forever only work in big tech.

The owner ran the show and was emotional. Every time a competitor launched something new, they would change course and race to copy them. Ended up delivering nothing and eventually laid off after 1.5 years.

At a big company, everyone is spending someone else's money and the people at the top realize they can't (and shouldn't!) change course every 3 mo.
I'm talking about tanks and bombs as proportion of the overall economic output. It was higher in USSR than it was in US, or indeed any other country.

And I'm not saying that producing those things is an investment, but rather that Soviets consciously invested into heavy industry to the (rather significant) detriment to the rest of the economy, so as to have manufacturing capacity to produce them.

> The urban centers had something like 10-20% of the population. If the peasants all moved to the cities, there would a) be not enough jobs and b) no food as no one would be producing it.

Well, the peasants wanted to move to the cities because the pay and the overall quality of life there was better. Peasants in kolkhozes were essentially serfs, with the government coming and literally taking the "excess" of their food output away. This could have been solved by, you know, actually paying them properly for that food. But why pay when you don't have to, and would rather spend that money elsewhere - e.g. on industrializing the cities?

One thing to keep in mind here is that Bolsheviks were very much not a peasant party. In the Constituent Assembly (which was directly elected by the population), they were a minority, and the most numerous party was the Socialist Revolutionaries, who actually represented the immediate interests of the peasants. Which is precisely why the Assembly did not rubber-stamp the Bolshevik government, and was forcibly dissolved.

Similarly, in village councils, Bolsheviks rarely had a majority - so they introduced kombeds to override those unruly councils. Also, when the council system was first codified in the 1918 Soviet constitution, the Congress of Soviets (i.e. the ultimate legislative body) had one representative for every 25,000 constituents of urban councils, and one representative for every 125,000 constituents of rural councils - i.e. one factory worker effectively had the same voting power as 5 peasants .

These kinds of things is why there were so many large peasant uprisings in Soviet Russia early on, to the point where they had to use poison gas to effectively suppress some of them.
> The central idea of 2FA is it's something you know and something you have. If that 1Password master password is the only thing needed to gain access then you don't really have 2FA.

Well, this is not exactly true. You need to know the master password, and you need to have the device that has the 1Password database on it. Even with the knowledge of the master password, you can't login into your $random_website account from my laptop. So even without the additional one-time 2FA codes, using a password manager that has a master password and doesn't synchronize its database, de-facto, _is_ a form of 2FA. Yes I understand that this view is controversial and that auditors will disagree.
A local term for one group of neighbors is "Massholes", so guess the feeling is mutual.
Then you are sacrificing the well being of children, and their social development, for some perceived (likely minor) benefit to decreasing spread to older family members. But it worse, because Covid is becoming endemic. It's a coronavirus. It is never going away. We are going to have Covid infections forever. So what has been gained?

It would be much more beneficial to encourage weight loss and fitness regime for overweight people. The vast majority of deaths have occurred from overweight comorbidities. But this has never been widely addressed as a tactic to decrease severe cases.
Whoever pays the most. At some point most of us get inspired by WuTang and take the "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" mentality. Work is where we trade our bodies and our limited lifespan for money 8-12 hours per day. I personally just shut my brain off or detach completely, get my work done, then get back to my life.

Whoever pays the most sucks less. Otherwise, all things being equal, all companies are going to suck, especially if you work for yourself.
> we could afford to solve the _housing_ portion of it by putting people in 1BD

I'm not claiming that apartments solve the opioid crisis.

But notice the pattern.

NIMBY property owners in SF profit while contributing to the housing shortage. We protect their rights to preserve a shortage while looking disdainfully at displaced victims.

Sacklers make >$10B selling opioids. They declare bankruptcy, keep >$5B and are protected from further liabilities.

The recipe seems to be:

- profit while creating a disaster

- accept no responsibility

- blame your victims

You think mentally ill drug addicts will destroy property.
But what if mentally ill rich people are destroying society?
Assuming those stats are both correct, it seems like an unusually high portion of global gun deaths per capita still come from Chicago, so maybe start at the smaller level.
I've never trolled anyone in my life and you're the first person to accuse me of that. Feel free to peruse my comment history.
I replied by trying to clarify what I meant as we seem to have had a different understanding on what I was even trying to say. I guess we really are not compatible in having a discussion given the immediate accusatory tone and downvoting instead of trying to figure out together where the misunderstandings were and discussing.
Drug use prevents treatment until the drug use is resolved. Shoving an addict in to a house and calling it job done will result in a destroyed home and a soon to be homeless person again.
It doesnt help that democrats paint anyone who finds this stuff obnoxious as republicans- they are alienating the largest constituent in America- independents.
Same, it was obvious enough for me. It's probably an outgrowth of the trend to complain about Firefox, when there's a very visible feature like this that "takes away resources" from improving the core browser or restoring all add-ons on Android or whatever else.
One of posts on the linked thread had that as a meme picture (page 2)
Correct, and many towers are airlifted in by helicopter to minimize transportation time. But the problem for many locals is the maintenance of the right of way, and the false belief in negative effects due to proximity to electro-magnetic radiation. If you own the land adjacent to the right of way, you are generally paid by the transmission utility, but there are encumbrances placed on what you can do with your land within a certain proximity of the transmission corridor.
I didn't think Mozilla is really that out of touch though, they don't live in bubbles like FAANG people and are developing a open source product.
At least where I drive, taxis drive very aggressively and will win at chicken with me everytime. Sometimes professional means in tune with the equipment and willing to drive at the edge of its capability.

Busses are big and may not stop quickly. If traffic is tight enough that I need to force my way into an opening, traffic may stop suddenly and I don't want to find out if the bus can stop behind me, because if not, I need to shop for a new car and new pants. If things are moving very slowly, then yeah, you can cut them off.

Maine voter here who voted 'yes' and would do so again.

Utility companies don't just get to do whatever they want, and I'm hoping the efforts to get the state to buy back CMP pan out.

EDIT: I meant to say that I voted 'yes' to say 'no' to the corridor.
I think the intent here is to note that there may be business requirements about these that affect the security of your business.

For example, if anyone pays you through credit cards, PCI DSS is non-optional. Certain transactions of health information will require Hitrust. Without them, you won't be able to do business, and while they seem large (PCI DSS if you have another company handle the cards, is a very simple self-assessment.)
I still cannot really fathom this logic. Why would you not want to address WHY guns are used?
People needing organ donations are sometimes told to move to Florida.

Florida motorcyclists are not generally required to wear helmets. Therefore they more efficiently get to the "donor" stage.

On the citation portion: please don’t ask for this… I’d like to think the bibliography of a paper is reserved to reference work related to the field, not tooling. Consider the situation where everyone cited bibTeX and Zotero.

Maybe I’m seeming unappreciative about this tool, and, if so, I apologize.
Agreed. I'd be curious what people count as "small" these days though. Less than 100? Less than 50?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TFEvkmvIjVo Clearly not perfect in how it handles this as it doesn’t really back up or go onto the sidewalk but these Chinese self-driving cars are handling quite difficult scenarios.

It’s like there’s a phase transition from theoretical ideal driving to ignoring street markings and navigating based on how much space there is around you and intentions of surrounding vehicles. Looks difficult but not impossible.

There are similar videos showing Teslas handling double parked vehicles and oncoming traffic too.
I would argue it is "Compliance Theater."
Which is a nonsense argument as easily seen by a single google search of Hydro-Quebec's energy sources.
Based on the recent actions from Mozilla, they appear to believe that the core technology behind their browser is fine and competitive, and that the issue lies with the perception of the market. Futhermore, they believe if they could just get the existing users excited, they'll be able to grow their market share again. Unfortunately, this isn't going to work.

Sometimes I wonder if the current leadership team even use Firefox on a day to day basis.
Most chip companies in China are frauds. They exist only to earn the allowance on chip industry. I suspect the main goal of Tencent is not replacing western processor, their real goal is to scam the allowance.

This is by design, it encourages only the wealthy to hold office.
Reducing emissions as much as we need to is a ship that has already sailed. At this point, it's a balancing act between how much to disrupt the economy and quality of life now versus how much it will be disrupted later, when AGW fully kicks in. And it's a scale, so expect a lot of bickering about where the line ought to be drawn.
Since when does the US federal government care about democracy?
I've been working for Xero since three years. It's a great place to work. Free barista coffee, fruits and social gathering every Friday. Everyone is very helpful and nice. Waiting to move into a brand new office here in Melbourne, AU. It's great to work for a company that cares about ethics and governance. We've to jump through several hoops before we can do anything with customer data. I have a lot of freedom in terms what tools to choose for my work. I've never had such experience working for big IT consulting companies prior to Xero.

It is a huge wide swath, 20m-50m wide, with a road for maintenance access.

While not necessarily a huge footprint, it has an outsized environmental impact - this is because it forces and maintains a field ecosystem through the middle of the forest, effectively breaking the forest in two. While it isn't quite as bad as a highway, it greatly disrupts the ecosystem on both sides for 100s of meters into the forest, by bringing in more forest edge predators, vermin, diseases, etc.

Ecologically, the net effect may not be quite as bad as a highway, but it is still basically a kilometer-wide disruption band, breaking a single broad deep forest into two far smaller forests. Contiguous zones, not mere square acreage are turning out to be critical for the biosphere, and this is just another big disruptor.
It has little to do with NextEnergy and everything to do with how universally hated CMP (the company that wants to build the line) is.

IME with EVGA, it's the working lifetime of the card.

I had an 6600GT which died. Over ~4 years, EVGA replaced it twice, the second replacement they gave me an upgrade (to a card one generation newer). Almost 10 years later, it still works.

It so appears Mozilla has decided to die on this hill, remember that they published the "We need more than deplatforming" bullshit last year while Firefox slowly bleeds to death.
>I fuckin pray that if I ever get into that state, that educated people would have the sophistication to view me as something other than the unforgivably evil cartoon villain that you describe.

Why should they if you act like a cartoon villain? Should they pretend you are helping an old lady when they are acting like a villain and robbing her?

At some point the causality doesn't matter. IF something is broken, it doesn't matter how it got that way. You can fix it, throw it away, or mitigate the damage it causes.

Some people can't be helped. Some can with significant effort. Some need to be locked away so that they don't hurt people. Sometimes the best you can do is mitigate their suffering.
Microsoft acquired GitHub around two and a half years ago. GitHub has improved greatly over that period. This CEO was already a Microsoft employee when the acquisition occurred.
I think you're underselling the accomplishment. Most people tend to vote party lines regardless of how bad their candidate is. I've seen it personally with family members and friends, even if they are under investigation for corruption. Usually in deep red/blue states the other party is normally very moderate.
Looking at the stock market seems like a strange way to grade a president...

Calvin Coolidge:

Starting (1923): ~90 (Dow Jones Index)

Ending (1929): ~320 (Dow Jones Index)

Performance in office: 255% increase.

What an amazing president - oh, wait...
That makes it _more_ rather than less risky to buy from random people on eBay because they know that you're desperate, allowing them to charge more and figure someone will buy without doing too much diligence about the seller.

Think about how people have received defective parts, or even things reflashed to list a different model. When the market is tight like this, those abuses become that much more tempting.
And no auditor is going to ding you for noting that you have deferred the risk to them.
I edited my comment to specify that I only talked about one specific point, I should have included that from the beginning. I agree with you, no web framework can ensure 4.3, but web frameworks could ensure/be compatible with 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.7 (partially), 3.3 (partially). That's far from everything, but if all of that is automated, that's more energy that can be used for something else.
I had two guns in my face by the time I left Elementary school, and I remember police officers marching down my block with rifles. People in Montana are armed to the teeth and often times drunk / high on meth. Houses were blowing up because they were meth factories on my block. There were drive bys in the 90's.

The predators in the elementary school are allowed to prey. While I don't want to discount how bad things were in South Central back then, a lot of white people crime is swept under the rug and a lot of crime in ethnically diverse neighborhoods is splashed on front page news.
It's almost as if you're confusing "cheap" with "free".

I'm not sure what you mean by "easy", but "stolen and available" is a lot easier than "legal but require waiting if available at all".
Reagan and Clinton both got lucky being president during the two major booms of the early Information Age. The introduction of the IBM PC in the early 1980s and the popularization of the internet in the mid-90s caused those numbers. They would have had to mess up big time to not have it happen by pure coincidence while they were in office. Entire new categories of business sprung up by replacing millions of salaries with relatively cheap computers, and by amplifying the productivity of everyone left.
Surprisingly, Microsoft is pretty damn good these days.
You gotta admit, the bar is pretty low here. Once you have (BTC) or ETH, why do you even need a token, except to scam suckers on the next big thing. SHIB is a classic example of this.

That is straight-up opinion.

There is nothing that says all expansion of the grid needs to be large-scale wind and solar. Sure, there are some economies of scale, but there are also structural economies and reliability benefits of locating more smaller sources nearer to the power users.
