I'd say his case was proof that the system didn't work.

People who prefer to read more in detail rather than just reading a cursory examination of the topic? This article has roughly 10,000 words. According to https://numberofwords.com/faq/how-long-read-10000-words/ it should take about and hour to an hour and a half to read the whole thing. Is that unreasonable? I don't know, but I do know that I've spent longer than that reading about how a programmer fixed a bug, so I guess it's down to interest.

This really should be as simple as «don’t fucking cut your children’s genitals».

If it has religious significance to you, that’s fine, just let the child decide when they are old enough to consent.

If your religion stipulates infant circumcision, then your religion denies the religious freedom of others (in this case the child), and thus religious freedom is an inherently moot argument, and not a justification.

Security has always been like this. If you’ve ever tried to hop a fence or bypass a system, you know that it’s heavily stacked against the defense.

Defense needs to patch every hole. Offense just needs to find one hole. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t worth trying to defend, it just means that you need to be realistic.
It's probably tied to their actual work agreement/contract.

If one of your explicit work requirements is to be on-call, then it's likely fine. That way employees can also argue that they should get paid for that time as well (and usually, on-call agreements also have compensation rules as well).

It is restricted to that. If there is no exchange, the law wouldn't apply. No legal expert though and it could be different in other European countries. Of course it could also enable tax evasion when parties hide payments.
I get you. It’s written in that modern creative writing style that suppresses information density in favour of human interest.

Usually what you do is read the blurb and see if you’re up for the adventure. Often I am not.

I agree with you that the lack of information density makes it painful to read if the topic doesn’t interest you. If you subscribe, I recommend minmaxing: read the one that you really like for the information (which is a lot, though not dense) and then read the fiction section for nice writing.

Often, when you make a remark like yours you’ll get a bunch of responses from people acting superior about “long form” stuff. Fairly predictable. Ignore them. They’re just offended because of the style of your remark so their responses will be defensive.
I don't want to cast any aspersions but could this indicate that the marketing copy was "reused" from a public source?

Or perhaps the writer used their same phrases for two clients?
Long form journalism has been a buzzy format in the last years and has gotten a bad rap, for good reason.

The New Yorker has been doing this since before it had that name. They're as good as they've always been. What they do used to be called "literary journalism" and the name says it all. It's not that it's long. It's that it's more akin to reading a nonfiction book, with all the pleasure AND utility that that can provide.
You are misrepresenting whatever it is you think he has said.

Greenspan has never said that "excess capital flowing into stocks can be viewed as a form of inflation".

Higher price of stock being a potential indicator of inflation (due to the wealth effect, etc) is very different to it "being a form of inflation".

Anyway, I don't care to continue this discussion as is. Please feel free to post references backing your redefinition of economic terms if you wish to proceed.
Yep, I honestly have more hope for this type of autonomous driving. Elon may be right about cameras theoretically containing more information than LIDAR, but that's like saying an encrypted file contains more information than a smaller, unencrypted file. Sure it may be true, but if you can't crack the encryption effectively and repeatably the point is moot.

In the meantime stuff like this is what's going to really make an economic difference. Boring supply chain shit that makes everything marginally cheaper and most people are completely unaware.
News reporting tends to leave out nuances. We need to see the text of the regulation to see if it actually has exceptions for situations like that. (Or rather, someone who speaks Portuguese needs to see it.)
AI-Generated Clinical Candidates, So Far
I didn't know what this company does, so I've checked website, after usual banners galore, trying to cancel them all I am there.

The answer is short:
"Find out what your DNA says about you and your family." Then:
"- See how your DNA breaks out across 2000+ regions worldwide
- Discover DNA relatives from around the world
- Share reports with family and friends
- Learn how your DNA influences your facial features, taste, smell and other traits"

What is actual usage of this data? Education? Curiosity? To have something to be shared on Instagram? They don't mention predicting cancer risks, etc. at best this looks like some kind of hobby stuff, like building ones genealogy tree.

Or maybe the way to figure out if one is a true kids's father. Could have some interesting consequences.

Besides "Share reports with family and friends". Really, is this inevitable, does everything has to be shared with friends, even ones genome details? What next? Proctologist visit outcomes?

I don't even mention embarrassment of the "Customer Stories" section. "I feel very much at peace with my identity and who I am as a woman. I feel complete". I don't even want to guess if this is some marketing bullshit or someone really felt "complete" by checking genome...

People just don't realize that having their DNA hand over is a risk. A big risk. But I have to admit that company is at least very honest about this risk, which is good and rare, so that's a credit for them:

"In the event of a data breach it is possible that your data could be associated with your identity, which could be used against your interests."

That's nice way to say, if we are breached, well, we've told you.

They also admit that will give ones data to law enforcement. Something good to know too. Genetic material taken from crime scene is often polluted, incomplete, so one can go to prison on behalf of the real criminal.

I am French and yes it might be illegal under circumstances.
For example if someone is paid for a service (however small the amount), and taxes are not paid then it is illegal [0].

It might looks quite easy to understand but it is not.

For example a local newspaper owner was handing out flyers at the entrance to a stadium. He asked two kids from his family to help him and give them some money. Two tax inspectors who happened to attend the sport event, issued a ticket of several thousand euros for "illegal work". Yet the newspaper owner had no such revenues. The "newspaper" was a just a hobby.

Small companies usually can't risk burning out their staff - for large companies, churn is priced in everywhere, but a small company can easily run aground when the wrong employee leaves.

If you are genuinely concerned about the production quality of the food you eat, stick to local producers who are willing to have you at the farm. Many non-organic producers end up following many traditional "organic" practices but don't pursue the certifications that allow their food to be marketed as "organic."

Obviously, buying processed food[0] is a different story, and in many cases, the organic label is very much just that -- a label.

Show HN: Verify any business with its Secretary of State
I switch over to safari for the time being and no issues.
I doubt this is specific to western Europe but the case in all countries. Because in theory you can't "give" anything without paying taxes. Meaning you can't give a gift without paying taxes. There are some exceptions of course but overall if you "give" someone something it has a value. In theory the tax service will look at what the "value" of it is and you should pay taxes over it. It doesn't matter if "something" is a service, goods or whatever.

For example if someone cleans your house every week. Even if that person does it for charity, for fun or whatever it could be seen as a service with value. In theory you should pay taxes over such a thing.

It becomes even more of a gray area if for example someone cleans your house every week and you give them a bag of groceries in return.

Overall is a thousand shades gray thing but the gist of it is that in all countries you can't just give a gift without paying taxes. Otherwise it would be easy to dodge taxes. I could just "give" someone a car.

But thats just a very theoretical look at taxes. In practice this is never enforced.

I am constantly baffled at the sweeping statements that get made about modern journalism.

In the "days of yore" the quality of journalism was higher? Journalists regularly omitted things from reporting that was widely known to support popular political narratives or their own ideas of what good outcomes would be, "for the good of the country".

Investigative journalism is alive and probably better than ever before despite being less profitable than wildly irresponsible opinion masquerading as journalism.

Look at the Pulizer Won by the Boston Globe for 2021, lifesaving investigative journalism that is expensive and difficult- and exactly the sort of thing that the Golden Age would have never dug up.

> whether this has actually happened like you say it has

This is a fairly contrarian line to take. How would you say that it hasn't?

> you have to consider that nobody expected it to be used like this

To me this seems a little bit of a naive take. Nobody is arguing that free speech should be curtailed - at least not in any legal sense. But as a principle it does compete against various other ones, such as decency and respect, not to mention security and business concerns.

It's the people arguing that free-speech as a right is absolute and overrides all else, and whatsmore outside of a purely legal setting (i.e. not just that the state can't prosecute you, but that it gives you the right to insult, and belittle people) that are missing the point.

Voltaire offered to defend the right of his opponents to express their thoughts, but did not volunteer to give them a platform, or even to listen.

> The ACLU defended literal Nazis

I don't see a conflict here. The state should be blind, after all it's important for democracy that Nazis and other dodgy straw men should see their side of the story aired, and thus buy in overall. It doesn't mean that society as a whole can't make judgements on the value of Nazism.
> The data on this is that in 2020 the UN adopted 17 resolutions condemning Israel and 6 for the rest of the world.

> Now it’s possible that Israel is so much worse than the rest of the world

According to Israel itself, it launched 50 bombing raids in Syria in 2020. Many of the UN resolutions condemning Israel were due to those bombings and other actions Israel has taken vis-a-vis Syria. Including Israel's occupation and settlement of Syrian territory since 1967, which the UN condemned then, and upheld in 2020 along with the other resolutions.

The reason the UN condemned Israel in 2020 and not Bhutan, is Israel decided to bomb Syria many times in 2020, and Bhutan did not.
If I remember correctly every sale of Pegasus requires an export license and is therefore subject to approval by the Israeli govt. They don't seem to care much for human rights activists and journalists but assuming every unpatched smartphone is vulnerable, it's very unlikely they're going to allow sales if it could just be pointed at any member of the Israeli govt or military.

> People aren't perfect.

I think you misunderstood my intent. I was simply saying that sometimes a junior dev might not even know what question they're trying to ask, or how to go about researching a topic to grok it.

Asking an experienced engineer how they would go about solving something is perfectly acceptable. That's all.
I think two things are conflated in the question: helping others for no money or only a token gesture of thanks (eg helping a friend paint their house for a beer), and doing a side job for cash (eg house painting for acquaintances on the weekend for cheap rates).

I'm pretty sure the first is totally fine in any country. Also pretty sure the second would be considered a tax-dodge in any country as it's just income you don't declare. In Ireland those doing jobs for cash like that is called a "nixer".

I've come to believe that the whole business of "organic certification" is built on a shaky foundation, and outright fraud is just one of the reasons why.

I once drove by a vineyard on a highly-trafficked highway in a very prominent wine-growing region and observed a sign that said something to the effect of "Organic vineyard. No dumping!"

At the time I thought to myself, "I wonder how many people who buy this winery's organic wine know that the grapes grow right next to such a highly-trafficked highway where they're constantly exposed to auto pollution?"

Ultimately, organic certification is a poor replacement for buying from local producers you know personally and can physically visit.

Laws where I live (in Western Europe) are arguably just guidelines anyway, it is always up to courts to make final judgement on any individual matter and the laws are written fuzzily enough that businesses trying to masquerade as friends helping eachother can be fined, and that friends can help eachother as much as they want and not have to worry about taxes.

I think people in general make too much of the laws. Laws are just a formalization of the actual culture in place, and neither replace nor create culture in themselves. The courts are made up of people too, as are the police, etc etc. The problem starts when you remove the "people" aspect of a judicial system, and it becomes paragraph-riding[1] tyranny.

Or when people themselves are bad, when the courts are bad it doesn't matter if you had the best judicial system in the world. It would still be bad.

You can definitely keep your ex-employee's names on file for a couple of years in the EU. Sometimes you might even be legally required to depending on what field you work in, or because you must document just exactly who did something.

That said, sharing it with a recruiter is very likely a big no go. Even sharing it with HR might be sketchy if you are allowed to keep it only for other purposes.
