Why is it black and white about proportionality?

Fines should have a minimum amount which should be designed to seriously cripple repeated bad actors and induce enough financial pain to force amending the fine-causing behavior.

From a cost-benefit perspective… yes it makes sense to go after bigger companies creating larger more impactful violations. No one reasonably expects a small business to be fined $125M…
Love the small size, but the layout is too different from a "regular" keyboard for me to consider it; the switching costs between it and my laptop would be too high. Placement of shift, super (I use caps lock as super), and tab being the biggest issues.
I don't like being cynical like this, but Linux can't even sort itself even on a single architecture: glibc (with the whole versioned symbol mess), musl variants, and so on, before we even consider shared libraries and package managers. Despite all the hard work of so many people, if you aren't running Ubuntu on x86-64, you will very quickly run into real problems running any kind of third-party software.
I feel like this is a key point.

There's long been strong financial pressure for the tech industry to disburse: it's incredibly expensive. Ideally you'd start a tech company somewhere where office and engineers are cheap. But the companies stay in SF because employees and VCs are there. VCs and employees are there because companies are here.

And even though Sand Hill VCs could fund companies anywhere in the country, in practice, they didn't (much). If that's changing, I feel like that's the trigger for a big tech diaspora as much or more than remote eng work.

You need to turn off the conservative talk shows for awhile and go for a nice walk outside. Maybe meet some real people and have an actual conversation. Because your post sounds completely deranged.

SF is signaling it’s ok to be a criminal, because maybe someone was poor and doesn’t know better?

even if it’s true there will be people to take advantage of it. the sf bay created its own toxic political environment and they’re paying the price.
I would suggest a minor tweak to the title here to indicate this is for Windows machines only. Also, after a quick glance at the repo, I only see compiled executables there, no actual source code. They've literally checked compiled blobs into the repo here, not even using releases.

Most HN users are aware that running randomly binaries from the interwebs without some confidence of their safety is a bad idea.

Caveat emptor.
I don't think "whether any suitable standard exists" is another issue, it's the exact one. If you're building a product and there is no standard to cover core technology, you roll your own because it's faster than waiting for someone else to invent one.

But that said I don't think "using a standard protocol" is a value in and of itself.
I've had both. I find that the moonlander is a LOT smaller, and feels a bit better because the wrist-rests are integrated (that was probably my biggest annoyance with the EZ). I was able to sell my EZ for about 250, so the moonlander realistically cost me about 150. The moonlander is about 25% better than the EZ (note: there are a few keys missing) and overall I'm happy with my upgrade
This was a surprisingly good read, even if a bit long.

On the Artist/Craftsman Divide
I picked up a Kinesis a few month ago and it's been a life changer. I've struggled with shoulder pain since as far back as I can remember. I'd done PT, dry needling, massage, etc etc. I'd even sprung for a personal ergonomic assessment. I'm a cyclist and and keyboard jockey, so most of my waking life is spent in positions that seemed to make it worse. At times it prevented me from sleeping, doing things I enjoyed, etc. I wear a 42 jacket, so I'm not crazy wide or anything.

I'd never seen anything that suggested that split keyboards were a good solve for the shoulder pain but I'd reached that point of just throwing shit at a wall because it was that, or find a new career and hobbies. Moving my keyboard so my forearms can sit slightly wider than perpendicular to my chest has almost completely resolved the shoulder pain and the impact was almost immediate.
Police abstention because other parts of the justice system are non-functional is, beyond any moral or ethical concerns, a certainty.

Every time a police officer arrests someone they're risking life and limb. Whether you like cops or not, you've got to see that aspect of it. Why would you take that risk when you know the system is being operated so that there is literally no difference between if you make the arrest or not?
Keep us posted, and hope you feel better soon xoxo
Out of curiosity, what did you not like about Bullshit Jobs?
I dunno. Seems like the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, and the 1st amendment rights for speech and religion (just to name a few) do more than just protect the empowered. Do you disagree?

> you really need to start doing something that you enjoy or that motivates you.

Screw this advice. The world is filled with and is highly tolerant of mediocrity. Do your best and collect the biggest paycheck that you can. Not everyone gets to have their dream job.
The emergent truth inherently obvious to those with reliably observation, pattern recognition, cognitive ability is far more reliable than the knowledge preached by academic priests from within ivory towers. The rejection of "fact checking" is a rejection of the academic model of institutional knowledge in general. Science (not empiricism mind you, but "science" as a class of researchers and Phds) has been found wanting and the masses no longer trust it.

TLDR, citations are for those who are incapable of making the arguments themselves and must outsource their very thought to other men they unquestioningly revere.

Yet the freedom of speech in the US hasn't prevented a gerontocracy of multimillionaires (both in government and outside of it) to preside over a servant class. We have mass incarceration in for-profit prisons whose inhabitants protect California mansions from wildfires, "gig economy workers" without health insurance, and laborers who are effectively indentured servants who cannot leave their jobs without losing health care. In every city on the west coast, the tent cities grow larger by the day.

"At least we can talk about it..." Yes, talk, and talk, and talk. This has come about over decades. How many decades of "freedom" will it take to actually bring change? Could it be that endless debate on Twitter is our modern bread and circuses that will amount to nothing?
No. Pretty much that’s their answer to the backlash that they are platforms helping spread misinformation.
So Tesla geofences FSD beta to outside California? Like moving their HQ to Austin? California should absolutely act if the law covers FSD, but it’s entirely realistic for Tesla to jurisdiction shop (just as credit card interest rates are mostly set by the laws of South Dakota).

It's also a misleading paragraph.

The "tech bro" who wrote the open letter is Justin Keller. I'll reserve judgement on whether or not his career is over; he's currently running a devops consultancy, and I don't know how successful it is.

However, the "effectively ended his career" link goes to a story about someone else completely: Greg Gopman. Justin Keller factors in only in a few paragraphs at the end of that story, and there are no conclusions drawn about whether or not his career is over.

Facebook and Twitter have very specific policies against hate speech and inciting violence. This caused a lot of extremists on the American political right to be banned.

That isn't elitism or censorship. It's enforcing their ToS, which as a private business, they have every right to do. I also think you're confused about what an 'elite' actually is. Spoonfed, entitled, whining, bitching opportunists like Trump fit that bill. And don't even pretend this isn't the side you're on.
Why? Perception is reality in engineering. I'm not incentivized to be anything other than slightly above average... people have horrible memories and velocity is very arbitrary. Engineering is a charlatan's paradise full stop; sounding smart is easy. In sales (especially) and marketing, there are real numbers that you drive. Everyone has bad quarters but if it continues, you will be let go.
==$10 per hour==

Is that really comparable to a police office in SFPD? "San Francisco offers excellent benefits and the current starting salary is $92,560 per year. After seven years of service, a Police Officer may earn up to $139,152 per year. You will receive comprehensive training, at your full starting salary." [1]

==This goes on for 12 weeks==

This seems like hyperbole. Has nobody been prosecuted in San Francisco for 12 weeks? Does a prosecution after-the-fact stop a crime from happening?

They also eliminate subtle bugs that can emerge from `this` being mutable in classes, and they make the React lifecycle more intuitive. Rather than thinking about whether the component did mount, will mount or will unmount, you just associate side effects with certain states.

Dan Abramov has a nice write up on the pitfalls of mutable this: https://overreacted.io/how-are-function-components-different...

With all that said, I would still say I'm not really a fan of hooks. I more see them as a necessary evil than a great feature. I try to use them as minimally as possible.

Fact checking is the business of publicly labeling as false those narratives that people with real power already viewed negatively. It becomes necessary when you lie all the time.

The whole notion of fact checkers is laughable -- who pays them? Do they still get paid if they 'fact check' their benefactors?

There is no debate. There is no invitation for refutation.

It's propaganda.

The other option is to either take early retirement, or quit and go work somewhere else. As many SFPD officers have done.

It's always fascinating to see how other cultures lived and where they assigned value or importance in their culture. That said, I don't understand stories like this that seem surprised that past cultures mourned loss. Certainly they faced a lot more infant mortality and shorter overall lifespans than we do, such that one might think they would become hardened to it, but it would be hard to believe they would be able to completely turn off the emotions. Some might say that I'm overlooking that this was a female child and that these past societies lacked equality and gender enlightenment of our modern society. Even on that I find myself questing why we make these assumptions. It's pretty clear there are some universal constants through time and culture - parents love their children. They may parent differently based on time and place, but it's an innate human behavior to love and mourn them.
Ugh they got j and k mixed up on page 3
YMMV, but I don't think social media companies have done well at all regarding the latter with erotic works.

Every single (semi)-erotic artist i know has faced a daily struggle of avoiding their work (and livelihoods) being demonetized somehow - whether it be shadowbans, straight up sudden bans, deactivations of accounts under false pretenses, etc. One could argue there's a difference between 2D art and "live action porn' but I'd say as an artist the line is a lot fuzzier than most think, as there tends to be a suspicious amount of activist work that tends to get shoved under the "porn" rug because it makes it easier to hide dissenting minority opinions.
Micro Interaction on Search UI Using CSS3
(Author here) Thanks! The inputs aren't sanitized in this example, but the output (the generated HTML) actually is in this case. Specifically this part:

text ": " & sentMessage.getStr()

The `text` function in the Karax DSL is actually escaped once it is converted to a string, see https://github.com/karaxnim/karax/blob/c71bc927494418c3f52f9... for the implementation if you are curious. There is a way to render raw HTML using `verbatim` instead of `text` in Karax.

So in this case, I believe it would be protected against XSS to some extent, but I obviously haven't done an in depth security check for a demo/simple project. There are plenty of other potential issues as well (username collisions, websocket errors, user lists) but I judged those to be out of the scope of a simple project like this.

I traded swaps during the period that this was happening. Keep in mind there's a LIBOR settlement every day. Also, there would be non-linear products on it, too. I'm not sure about 1B being a very large amount either. I've heard of individual traders who swung a dv01 of $20M.

I would think that a government machining gunning down peacefully assembled civilians and then running over the bodies with tanks, then shooting any doctors who attempted to help the wounded, wouldn't be politicized. That we can all agree it is deeply and unquestionably evil.
But in that case I’d agree with the OP. I’m not installing what ever you want on my hardware.

I probably was more of a “temporary employee” than a contractor. But what’s the difference at that point? I was paid more than the value of entitlements as cash. It suited both parties, and was mutually agreed.

In hindsight, having them provide the hardware, and then handing it back at the end of the engagement would be my preference. It reduced any risks for them and me.

Tho I can easily imagine on/off or short infrequent contracting scenarios that this would not work for.

If you are building an application that spans multiple services I would discourage against serverless. Testing and Debugging serverless is a nightmare and not worth the time spent to understand where things went wrong. Add to it the half baked libraries and frameworks that are supposed to make you deploy apps in a sinch.

You’d be better off with a monolith or bunch of services running independently woven together by some message bus

It was never at the level of The Onion, but I think it was actually somewhat funny back when it was primarily about satirizing American culture from a Christian perspective (e.g. [1]). At some point it seemingly pivoted to just going viral among a conservative/Republican audience, humor and commentary be damned.

I've noticed the quality of conversations on HN have deteriorated drastically after dang took over. There're simply too many threads where the whole conversation is complaining, whining, dunking, outrage etc.

Anytime there's a thread on Netflix, there'd be a group of users who would start complaining about Netflix recommendations. Even when the article has nothing to do with recommendations. I am using Netflix as an example, this pattern you'll notice in many other HN threads.
I feel a big push behind this new policy is to remove the large amounts of commercially-broadcast TV content that is shoved into Google Drive and openly shared to 0.0.0.0/0 (e.g. via TV subreddits). Google has had fairly aggressive rate-limiting on viewing/downloading fully-open shared-to-all videos hosted within Drive for a long time, but there have generally always been ways around these limits. In the last few months, I have noticed several fairly large TV subreddits that used Drive for video distribution being closed due to too many DMCA takedowns, as such I feel that this policy change is G formalising their intentions to stanch this avenue of piracy, more than it may be a move to chase off malware/phishing ne'er-do-wells.
One of our suppliers went bankrupt and left us hanging without proper access to their Digital Ocean account where they were hosting some of the services they had provided for us. I think our account was already configured to have access but only as billing contact or something like that, so we couldn’t do anything besides paying the bills.

I wrote DO and explained them the situation. It took a few days and a bunch of documents back and forth before they managed to let our account have an admin role.

All in all they provided us with pretty good support and we were not a big customer - a few hundred euros a month, I believe.
Indeed, as we saw in the recent-ish fact checking failure by the New Yorker about the "rent-a-family" business in Japan: https://newrepublic.com/article/160595/new-yorker-japan-rent...

From the article:

>An emerging theme in both controversies is that there is a fatal chink in the armor of even the most rigorous fact-checking process—that it is especially vulnerable to a naked betrayal of trust by an author or source. There is only so much a fact-checker can do if someone is intent on telling lies, particularly when the stakes are so low [...]
Debt: The First 5000 Years and The Dawn of Everything are both better than Bullshit Jobs IMO. I'd start with "The Dawn of Everything." While I think Graeber makes the same "jump to conclusions based on your worldview" mistakes he criticizes others for, he present new (to me) evidence about the history of human organizations that I have found to be very interesting and, at least, opened me up to some new avenues of thought politically.

It's suspicious when "the science" suddenly aligns with long standing political dictates. That doesn't mean that it is wrong but certainly is justification for a heavy dose of additional skepticism. Governments have been especially flustered by naturally acquired immunity and now "the science" gives them what they have long desired to be able to dismiss natural immunity. That doesn't mean that "the science" is wrong but it sure is suspicious how often politics proceeds science when throughout most of history, it has reacted to it instead.

Omicron will do what it is going to do regardless of what "the science" or politicians have to say on the matter but politicians and those involved with "the science" have no one to blame but themselves for the public skepticism after they've indulged in many "noble" lies and misleading statements throughout the pandemic. The gaslighting after they're called out on previous lies or poorly thought out promises and predictions don't help either. Maybe they can try out "I was wrong" for once and get some of the credibility back instead of constructing even more elaborate excuses for their failures.
