> if we're involving a trusted external source, why not just use that source to track the token rather than involve a blockchain?

How would this work?
this is interesting. i think it can be generalized. not just for ongoing rough situations but even for someone having a rough day, or a rough moment.

in that moment who are the people in the circles around me. and in whose outer circles am i?

in a married couple the partners are usually supporting each other. so they are in each others outer circles.

if my wife had a rough day then her circle takes precedence, and it's my job to comfort her. if i had a rough experience then i seek comfort from my wife. now my circle matters more for the moment.
>>> [DB Sequences]

> One often hears the counterargument 'but using DB-specific features makes your application less portable!'

OK, sorry for the probably stupid question: Isn't it just a matter of, for each sequence, selecting its current value and then creating the new one in the target database to start from there? Should be, if perhaps not easily, still reasonably scriptable... Or what am I missing?
> Obviously it's not aimed at people who want to use only POSIX.

Okay, then it's aimed at people who want to use more than just POSIX, right? That's the entire world.

In which case the question still applies - how do you migrate everyone over to your new interoperable ABI? How will I run Gimp, Firefox/Thunderbird, IntelliJ, VSCode, Slack, Xterm, all my command-line tools (tar, grep, etc), Git, Meld, Starcraft 2 (and all 100+ games in my Steam library, and Steam itself) and more?

How do you see your replacement running MySQL, Apache, Nginx, PostgreSQL, bash/zsh/etc, SQLite, stunnel, netcat, wireshark/tcpdump, etc?

Do they all have to be recompiled? Replaced with new sootware?

Because each and every one of the software I listed above depends on a C ABI. And any shim provided to make existing software work will simply result in developers ignoring your new ABI and targeting the C ABI for maximum compatibility.
I am curious if they are actually getting less than a living wage.

Quick googling suggests that they were making $20-$30 per hour before the strike. Another quick Google suggests that the average assembly line hourly rate is $19/hr (another source says only $14/hr).

It looks like the wages aren't out of line as far as livability, but it is understandably infuriating to see the company as a whole making tremendous profits while only paying slightly above average.

Is that pretty much the situation or did I miss something?
> Because at some point the credits and the debits need to be settled with real goods and services

If that happened all at once, for every credit and every debit, it would indeed be a problem. But that doesn't happen, ever.
No, it doesn’t, it implies that it uses a language which is widespread and most everyone knows. Languages themselves being superior tends to be an opinion.

I'm so sick of western liberal ideology being the only means in which someone should be tolerated to survive in this world. Just because it goes against your belief system does not make it immoral or unethical. Every region is not like Westminster where it's safe for you to rely on the police to enforce people to abide by the law. In most of the world, you're lucky if you can seek restitution after the police did nothing.

Racism as a whole sucks in every which way. It's unfortunate that it happens, but in bad areas of this world, it has helped enumerable people on both sides survive. People would not do it if it didn't have a positive correlation to survival. End of story. Religion sounds like hocus pocus magic, but at the end of the day, it creates rules and stability that people can establish a consensus without talking to one another. Likewise the same thing about racism. Essentially it's a religion of personhood deigned at birth.

Western liberals love to believe they're so enlightened by their rational thought processes', but often forget people are not rational. We are not robots that follow a goddamn decision tree placing for the absolute most optimal result. I mean the Chinese interpreted the damn future based of tea leaves and how ashes showed up in turtle shells!

People need to stop policing others on beliefs that aren't rational. Irrational decision making is very much rational. Otherwise we'd still be banging rocks against other rocks to make axes because the risk of wasting time melting that malleable metal to make a sharper and longer lasting axe might not pay off and you'll die.

Agreed. The "worst" I see happening is some US tech jobs will go to Canada, since the time zones are "compatible" and culture is similar. People from Central and South America will get in the game somewhat as well, but I still think cultural and language barriers cause enough problems that there's still a bit of a moat.

We've already been offshoring to Asia and Eastern Europe for decades now, and even though we should have a good handle on what does and doesn't work by now, I still see companies making the same mistakes, and either having to pull back, or just fail and be too blinded by hubris to figure out why.

I think you misunderstood my comment, I'm saying things could have easily been worse if colonialism had continued, in response to the parents claim that bad things happened after the end of colonialism. The opening line was just my attempt to read the parent as charitably as possible, as is the custom on HN.

Edit: I can't edit the original post any more, but if I could I would change the last line to "but I have no trouble imagining even worse outcomes had colonial rule continued." For clarity.

I’d argue that a lot of jobs have time that is stressful, high pressure and requires one to have the knowledge immediately.

I don't think the fear with network neutrality was ever the idea of a content aggregator buying content on behalf of a subscriber, was it?

My understanding of the argument with network neutrality was that the combination of the network provider as a natural monopoly and the network provider's ability to render content inaccessible would result in a fragmented Internet - you can only run so many wires to a house, and if Provider B cut off Content A, you might not get Content A anymore.

I don't see how this is the same thing.
To me, TCGs are defensible because they are Games in which you are knowingly consenting to a system in which collection is a part of the experience. The manufacturers give a standard MSRP for cards during their printing period. Aftermarket cards are priced based on the utility given within a game system and that feeds into a collectors valuation. This is, I think, an acceptable outlet for the humanistic urge to collect things. I do think its exploitative but at least the messaging is clear and fair.

I take issue with systems which exploit gambling urges for profit. NFT's claim to be the future of DRM for independent artists, but they are exploited into becoming pump-and-dump schemes and wildly speculative markets. They use language used to defend artistic IP but ultimately function as a game with arbitrary rules.
I use two actually - the G700 when at my desk, and G604 when travelling. I really, really like the G700 - I've bought a total of four of them now. Unfortunately Logitech's stopped making them, hence the 604, which is actually not bad. I still prefer the 700's shape/heft, but it's a minor thing. You likely have smaller hands so the 604 will probably suit you fine. The 700(s) has a terrible battery life (like literally 1 day), but the 604 can go months without a recharge (if on bluetooth). Both have toggleable smooth/segmented scrolling, a tiltwheel, a cluster of thumb buttons, a high DPI, and can do FN13+ keys as mentioned. I forgot how I got FN13+ keys onto the 604, but here's the `profile.dat` that I use for my 700s: https://pastebin.com/Sp50Bnpn The process for getting it on to the 604 may or may not be similar.

The thumb buttons do stuff like CtrlW/AltF4 (depending on the program), toggle between maximize/restore, minimize, media play/pause, and summon media player. Pretty basic stuff:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe chrome.exe
F14::
WinGet MX, MinMax, A
If MX
WinRestore A
Else WinMaximize A
Return
F13::SendInput ^+t
F15::WinMinimize,A
F16::SendInput ^+{Tab}
F17::SendInput ^{Tab}
F18::SendInput !{Right}
F19::SendInput !{Left}
F20::SendInput ^w
F21::Media_Play_Pause

Oh, and one of my more favorite AHK things:

RButton & WheelUp::Send {Volume_Up 1}
RButton & WheelDown::Send {Volume_Down 1}
RButton & F17:: Send {Volume_Mute} ;; aka right click + mousetilt = mute

Amazing!! Rust safety all the way up to the Linux system calls, and no legacy cruft like errno anywhere. That's the sort of project I had in mind. I'm so glad I'm not insane for imagining things like this. It would be so great to see a 100% Rust or Lisp or Zig user space built on top of Linux. Would be a lot more interesting than the same old POSIX user space every distribution ships with...
> We must also protect small businesses and innovation. We know that in Europe, investments in startups are down more than 40% since their data protection and privacy law—the General Data Protection Regulation—went into effect. We must guard against a similar situation here. We want small businesses hiring coders and engineers, not lawyers.

I was about to say something along the lines of, since it was introduced by Republicans you know that this will get ignored. However, after reviewing what they are actually proposing, I hypothesize that this isn't actually designed to increase privacy.

I believe this is more about them making it easier to collect data and giving businesses more means to do so at your expense. If they wanted to increase privacy they'd mirror at least somewhat the CCPA, which already addresses many of these issues. The CCPA is not perfect and there are far too many exceptions IMO, but at least it was effective and California residents can easily request that their accounts and information be deleted.

If anything they should be looking at the CCPA and GDPR as a starting point for how to address privacy, not ignore and gaslight you into thinking they are somehow bad. I hope that a tech blog and EFF do a write up on this and create an entire campaign against what the Republicans are proposing here so that people don't get duped by this con.
There is a long and sordid history here in the US of preventing formerly enslaved people from voting using various tactics some of which would be classified as terrorism today: lynching, public humiliation, violent/death threats, bombings, poll taxes, poll testing, among a few. Leaders of groups registering Black citizens to vote were targeted and assassinated, many involved were beaten and sometimes maimed by local law enforcement.

This is the historical context in which ID voting requirements have been imposed. Often, ID facilities are deliberately under-resourced and placed out of reach of economically disadvantaged communities. You typically need a functioning vehicle, gas and to wait a (sometimes significant) amount of time on a workday during working hours to get an ID.

The same tactics are used with polling places themselves. During the very last Presidential election, the Texas governor limited facilities to only one ballot dropoff location per county[1], the largest of which needed to serve 4 million people.

The few years our small business used Comcast Business were bad. There would be multi-hour outages every other month. It got to the point where I wrote up procedures so an office worker could log into our ASUS router and switch the gateway over to a smartphone hotspot. That got tiring, so I ended up upgrading our router to support automatic failover to an LTE device.

In contrast, AT&T DSL FTTN (Fiber to the Node) and Sonic DSL (not resold) have been rock solid. I am using AT&T for both home and business now and can't remember the last time there was an outage or issues with the modem. For me, a stable connection at 50mbps is preferable to unstable 1gig.

I would rather support Sonic, but they don't have fiber in my area and I had a bad experience with their resold AT&T FTTN service that was beyond their control. Their straight DSL product is solid, as long as you are close to the central office and can get a good speed.
Criminalizing speech is always an urge of the elites and establishment. Is it criminal to talk about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study? Are blacks correct to not trust the government?

This was the logic used for outsourcing manufacturing. Now we American consumers can get as many low-quality plastic toys as we want at bargain basement prices and throw away perfectly functional electronic devices every few years in order to get newer, shiner ones. The cost was cutting a swath of destruction across hundreds of formerly vibrant towns across the middle of the country, which are now home mainly to hopelessness and drug addiction. I'm not sure the trade-off was worth it.

In US public tech companies it's standard for half or more of the compensation to be made up by equity grants. Are you sure your average salary figures are not just looking at salary?

ProctorU is a mandatory trojan that ETS (among others) require. It's also poorly built to the point where it changes random Windows settings, takes over all kinds of management features, requires full admin access on a personal computer (not a university or corporate managed one) while burning 50% CPU.

Naturally, it's next to impossible to remove once installed. I speak from personal experience

Not replying is not the same thing as "accepting it as though it had some validity". As long as you work with that false assumption, you're stuck in a tough place.

The internet is wrong about nearly everything. You can't fight it that way. Responding with a shallow dismissal or putdown is just a variant of the same dynamic—it encourages more of the same, and so creates more of what you're trying to combat. Your two options for not doing that are (1) not replying—because then at least you're not feeding it; or (2) patiently and respectfully supplying better information.

Don't get me wrong, I know how hard it is in practice—it requires going against one's habits at the nervous-system level.* That ranges between difficult and impossible depending on the level of activation. But it's definitely possible, and it's basically what this community is basically working on learning together. Why? Because the goal of this place has always been to have an internet forum that escapes the default fate of deteriorating into suckage—or at least staves it off as long as possible.

I think the idea is that if Congress doesn't act, the states are going to still set their own privacy standards. If there are fifty different standards in fifty different states, only large companies will have the manpower to sort out what they all require. These congressmen want to put everyone on the same standard so small companies can have websites and only have to worry about one standard of privacy.
Tuskegee Syphilis Study
I largely agree with this. There are some careers -- firefighting is one of them -- where it is downright dangerous for the person to have a reliance on technology (technology can help firefighters but the battalion chief still needs to know the entry/exit points on a structure to direct crews, the drivers need to *know* the city they are in, backwards and forwards to get to the site quickly (they cannot rely on Google Maps)), but I'm not sure how many of those careers (air traffic control would be another) would have remote-proctored exams anyway.

Having said that, I do think that many of us have become too conditioned to having access to Google/the internet/the ability to always look stuff up, that it does become a problem (I am utterly incapable of getting around the city I live in without Google Maps, as an example), and that, I think is a negative for humanity. Having access to information and reference is great, but never taking the time to actually learn/memorize/understand concepts and content so that you feel confident doing something without checking the answer is still really important in lots of roles. There should be a balance.

But none of this excuses the malware/spyware that ProctorU and other systems employ. Frankly, people who are that committed to cheating will cheat anyway.

I've heard of similarly dystopic sorts of bullshit even when it comes to remote job interviews, often (but not limited to) code tests. I cannot imagine any job that would be worth me installing spyware/malware on my personal machine for the interview. Even for a university exam, I would push back hard on this sort of thing (or at least the onerous requirements and access it has) or demand the school issue testing laptops or at the very least re-think how/why they proctor exams the way they do. Individually, students don't have a lot of leverage, but if enough people complain -- especially in high dollar degree programs like a MSc -- universities will rethink their behavior -- or at the very least, force the software firms they pay millions of dollars to to support a fucking Chromebook.

I think the "equally qualified" point you're making is highly disingenuous.

Qualified doesn't mean you can churn out so many lines of code or have X years of experience at a company or whatever, it means you have right kind of experience. To a big company like Facebook or Google, someone from SV who has a few years in the local industry has more relevant "experience" to the position than someone in London with 10 years at a financial firm.
