On the bright side, that’s at least a strong signal that usually comes up before you’ve committed to join. (You’re lamenting that this specific lack of transparency comes up as late as it does, which is fair, but there’s a bright side that lack of transparency reveals itself while it’s still comparatively early.)
I think it might only be around for another couple of years -- Telstra is switching theirs off in 2024, and Optus is pretty soon too.
> branch offices, contractors, etc.

Branch offices isnt remote, and contractors are mercenaries.

Look, I think there is not "one" answer to this. I personally can't think of anything worse than complete remote. Its isolating, difficult to understand the entire company and everything requires explicit communication. Some companies do this well, Most do not.

However I have worked with fully remote workers, and they love being remote. I don't know how we sensible accommodate both modes of working.
Mozilla removed add-on support from Firefox Android for non-approved add-ons. So now 90% of the add-ons I used to use are gone.

There is a workaround using custom AOM collections but it's annoying to have a feature removed.
How is it possible that free apps cost you $0.50/mo, the ipv4 alone worth more than that
I think there are two points of views:

1. This is unnecessary regulation between private parties

2. This is power balancing between individuals and big corporations

Obviously legislators are aligned with case 2. I think they have realized that the problem is so complex that is better to regulate at the end of the pipeline and let the companies figure out how to achieve it. Otherwise you may forbid gathering data X only to incentivize gathering data Y to circumvent it and make things even worse
Ruby’s awesome. This would have slapped in Ruby.
You are conflating the internet, the network, for the web, the application.
My approach on this problem was first to use the dedicated Apple's solution, that is the time management control panel.
Spoiler, that never worked as I would turn on and off the constraints based on my needs. I was consistently unsatisfied and endlessly blaming my lack of will. Thus, I really understand the point of view of the author to readily constraint himself with the hardware instead of software knobs easy to turn off.

Rather of buying a new phone, it worked for me to just live with my iPhone 6 until today. It became so slow that it achieves pretty much the same behavioral perks but still supports a wider range of useful features imho like keeping my Spotify account usable on my commute.
Opposidely, my reddit addiction -- and news sites in general -- completely disappeared as the website now takes seconds to load and the panel advocating to download the app takes up half the screen making it just unusable.
The board runs at 3v3, the CPU consumes around 140mA, with SD and Ethernet off its just memories and LEDs adding to that, so typically not much higher than 150mA sustained.

It's likely a bit less than that over USB Vbus but it's just running a linear regulator down to 3v3 so mostly the difference just becomes heat.
Material Wave might be a less confusing term than 'Gravity Wave' which at least outside of this field sounds like what someone in the field might call a 'gravitational wave'.

Though that too should be subject to re-definition if a better and more easily communicated understanding of the density of space / time / gravity (as we know it today) makes the term outdated.
Exactly the same thing that's been happening across all Europe I guess, in Italy we call it SPID (digital identity public system). Once you give them your ID and you're certified, you can access ANY public office or system via that ID. I love it.
Yes you can, that's the point really. You can just start off on your own machine with something like Minikube [1] and deploy to GCP on a bunch of much larger nodes to see how it behaves. The overhead of Kubernetes itself isn't much, it's just a bunch of API daemons.

For small scale development, plain docker/podman is better in my opinion.

You don't need to be rich to make something like that.

Any middle class family in USA or Europe can do that, they just need to go for a smaller house, not a second house for vacations or not so expensive cars.

I have seen that, parents investing money on their children instead of on other things. It is their money they got working and they could do with it what they want.

You are just envious. Flying gets cheaper over time and in the future with electrification is going to become even cheaper.
I never get why you actually have to put the ham on the truck.

In a slightly less illogical EU you could just go to the appropriate EU committe, and get an exception where you send the ham on a "virtual trip". Just proove that you payed the cost of shipment. The ham benefits, the environment benefits, everybody wins.

I would even go further and introduce a legal principle. Every law that can be circumvented by a ridiculous trick is either void, or the loophole has to be closed.
I also switched to a Nokia 230 ~2 years ago, first just as an experiment, haven't gone back so far.

I tried a KaiOS based phone also in that time, but that was so unbelievably unstable that I ditched it after using it for two weeks or so.

I still have a smartphone powered off in a drawer, that I pick whenever I need that (~once a month, for banking stuff, using Google Maps to drive to another city, etc). I have Telegram running on my laptop and a few other things like the app for my mowing robot.

In general, also at work, I like to mute all notifications if I need to focus, heavy Pomodoro user, too.

There are not that many downsides for me. Sometimes someone asks me to send a phone number to them, which is only possible via Bluetooth. So I need to write the number down on a piece of paper, type it back into an SMS and send it. What a waste of time - I first thought. But in reality, that dump phone saves much more time, than these little pieces of manual effort cause, so in the end, I still have more free time. I was surprised at how often I do things that I don't need to do that often, e.g. checking my bank account balance.
Ah, they got me.
There's a metric know an "Disability-adjusted life year", or DALY, that tries to quantify this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability-adjusted_life_year.

And your point about social alcohol is well taken. I have the luck of being a lightweight with drinking, so usually a glass of cider is enough for me, and with the right people it's always a good time. On the other hand, lots of people my age (young adults) tends to drink multiple pints of beer multiple times a week. They should at least be aware of the tradeoff they're making.
Seconding K3s being a good option, supports most distros and is easy to set up in minutes: https://k3s.io/

If you'd like to use a management UI instead of just the CLI, Portainer is also a wonderfully lightweight option: https://www.portainer.io/ (and also supports Docker Swarm, if you'd like even more lightweight container orchestration)

That said, in my eyes the biggest problem with Kubernetes is that some distros by default reserve resources and thus disallow overcommit, which is fine from a stability perspective, but doesn't really work for overcommit scenarios.

For example, with Docker Swarm, it's exceedingly easy to say: "Okay, this PostgreSQL instance can use anywhere from 0 to 256 MB of RAM, but no more than that" and with 1 GB of RAM i could easily run 8 of those instances if the average usage was half or less of this maximum limit - a risk that i'd sometimes like to take, when i know that the limits in place are more along the lines of controls so that the whole OS doesn't run into OOM errors.

Of course, if you mess around with the YAML, i guess that's doable on some level as well.

As a sidenote: most of the software that i run (Java, .NET, Ruby, Python, Node, Go, PHP) all is memory constrained most of the times, so when looking for server specs, i usually prioritized the memory the highest, CPU, storage and network speed all usually being a secondary concern. Sadly, in the current day and age, i'm not sure how far you could actually get with 1 GB or why even use container orchestration at that point. The smallest VPSes that i have come with 2 GB of RAM and even those are for smaller pages/proxies and such, whereas the majority have at least 4 GB (since GitLab and Nexus won't launch and work with much less) and my homelab servers have 16 GB, whereas my workstation has 24 GB at this point, because that's all that i can afford.

Wirth's law be damned, i doubt that even OSes will work well with that much in the future, especially because of desktop software being infected with Electron and server software having JVM eat as much memory as you'll give it (though that also happens with MySQL or MariaDB). I don't care about "Unused RAM is wasted RAM" as much as others do, i just want to run more stuff on my servers and to have software that doesn't NEED the memory not take it.
I'd suggest trying out https://k3s.io/ then.
Runs on pretty much anything and supports multiple nodes that can be added later. They have ripped out a lot of things you might not need (cloud drivers, etc). Despite that, it was easy to install things like storage drivers or Cilium for networking when I wanted that.

I used k3sup to setup my cluster, but that was just for convenience.
What are they? For major part, they are interesting puzzles.
Let's take the second part for example. You have some sentences in Ancient Greek, and you have translations in English. Your goal is to find which translation is for what sentence.

How would you go on about that? In this case, for example, by taking a look at the sentences. You could count how many times a word appears, and then compare that. And so on.
> You think lack of thermal protection is a feature?

I read that as: vendor-controlled software sitting in hardware will be buggy and those bugs won't get fixed. Thermal protection implemented in user-controlled software can, over the long term, provide better safety because bugs can be fixed.

Yeah, this is just rude imo. You want an answer to something but you put a lot of pressure on the person you need help from.
Questioning something without facts to back it up is pointless.
I am building a compute layer for Observablehq which enables services to brought up using nothing other than a web browser. It's a bit too soon to call it a K8s replacement but the motivation was the complexity and laggyness of bringing up services on cloud or k8s.

The WEB + on demand infrastructure is the distributed replacement of K8S

https://webcode.run/

WEBCode is about eliminating environments and the difference between backend and front end to radically reduce the number of tools necessary and to enable new development workflows like live debugging production trafic with the vanilla Chrome debugger.
> there's no way sales had a travel budget.

All the places where we had B2B sales, we've had a travel budget. Ironically the sales "offices" were usually one person in a territory. But they were very much out wining and dining big customers.

We also had a telesales team, who were centrally based, and they totally could be remote workers.
Ambience? Group identity?

There are vocaloid concerts, and I would not expect the live to diverge from the recording, so people don’t attend for different takes on the song they know.

The "I'm sure it'll be fine in the end" tends to happen because people often do invisible but crucial work in hope to make it fine in the end.

As long as you normalise by only multiplying/dividing by positive numbers rather than any nonzero number, you’re really working in S^3.
I don't care about what ads they are allowed to show me, since I block their ads anyway. What I care about is whether they are allowed to use the information used to compute the ads to track me. It would be a pyrrhic victory if the law simply says that can't use some specific type of data for computing ads, but it still allows them to track and use the same type of data for something else.
35.5ppd is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Oculus quest 2, which IIRC is around 22ppd.

I do agree with you though, it is a very desirable way to work. I tried to get Immerse working, but it was just such a buggy mess that I gave up. Hopefully Simula can do it better.
Still we are not hamsters - hamsters can take 20x the amount of alcohol per body weight as humans, because for them it IS natural to base their diet on fermented fruits from their stashes. Humans are not like that.
My only real gripe with GCP is that every project is set up to use their premium networking tier by default.

Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software
The software world today is increasingly SaaS, user-hostile and rent-extracting.

My most recent experience is Shutter Stock, a completely scam company that charges ridiculous amounts of money with no easy to unsubscribe.

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.shutterstock.com

- Microsoft has used its dominant position to charge for MS Office in perpetuity, breaking features and now trying to trick people to use One Drive more (renaming files from an Office App is only a "feature" that works for files saved remotely on One Drive)

- Apple's "services" income is mostly from various apps that use predatory practices to maximise how much they can extract from users. For example, it makes sense for me, with a broken App Store search, to pay $4 for each download when I can get users to pay $5/month to use my app.

- Many other examples, with the whole industry going towards SaaS and HaaS

What has the world come to, where technology has been appropriated and we are left paying rents every month and companies are increasingly becoming user-hostile and predatory and monopolistic!
> Apps including WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, as well as others that you can install from KaiOS Store.

> Google Assistant. It’s not deeply integrated with the device (more on this below) but it can still be useful for voice text entry and quick Google lookups.

> Ability to sync your email, contacts and calendar, or simply import your contacts from a third-party service.

What makes this a "dumb phone" then?
In-Network Data Processing Using FPGAs
You're inventing things like "judging and chastising" - they do not appear to be present in the original text. Mischaracterisation is a bad idea.
Yes, you can start with that. There is a k8s distro called k3s that runs fine even on 1GB Raspberry Pi 3.

I have been running it on those for a while, but also on other SBCs. You can grow the single master by attaching one or more workers to it. The "pain" is mainly that you can't expand the single-master to a multi-master setup, so once you want to go beyond a single master, you have to re-install it all. On the other hand, with k8s you have all deployments, etc. in yaml files and you simply redeploy these on the new cluster.

My remaining pain-point is persistent storage - it's simple to run complex setups with stateless containers or that can retrieve there data at initialization (i.e. a secondary name server that populates itself from the master at startup), but for classic databases I currently still have a manual step to import the DB dump once the service got (re)started/migrated.

In this kind of wars (civil wars), unfortunately everything that can damage your enemy is worth.

> Now the Win11 UI is so slow that it feels like every click must be hitting telemetry first. When I right click I see the normal context menu briefly before the simplified context menu. Sometimes it’s so slow enough that buttons will move right before I click on them.

How is this an indication of UI/UX (where UX is how things should work, but not implementing it) failures? It sounds like this one is purely on the development org for writing someone that has poor performance and/or not prioritising improving it.
You’re looking at positive examples. The negative examples have serious potential to create harm. E.g.;

1) a teenager exploring/researching their own sexuality on the family computer causes ads to be served to very religious mom and dad for queer friendly products or a pride flag

2) ads targeting someone with covid that send them to a scam testing site (that charges both the patient and the government) or pushing ineffective or dangerous treatments like colloidal silver.

It’s not that these are the only categories that can be abused but these are some most rife for abuse
In Australia, if they had an Australian presence they couldn’t do that, but given that they don’t, and each individual is importing a device, the Australian consumer protection laws don’t apply.
I think it would require more detailed research
Bold stance! I think it goes too far - there is definitely value for society in people being able to make services and goods they offer publicly known. No doubt we're currently too far in the "ads everywhere" direction, but within limits I think ads can have net benefit.

Totally different context. Explaining decisions in a documentation setting is wholly appropriate, and completely unrelated to what the author is arguing here, which is people are not entitled to an explanation why their request is declined, when the main point of the explanation is to better enable coaxing an agreement.

I see no realistic scenario where proper documentation would make a downstream developer pick up the phone and ask for favours.
You can't effectively ban the collection. Bing needs to get your search query to be able to answer it. You can muck around retention and what kind of processing can be done... But this approach seems to be simpler and more robust. Since most of the nefarious tracking is for ads targeting, forbid using sensitive data for ads targeting and you've outlawed most of the worst thing. And adding another layer of processing or even transferring the data between separate entities shouldn't work around such a regulation either.

Now all that's left are the small matters of wording and enforcing the law...
ZFS is great, jails are great (much clearer and simpler than the complexity of containers on Linux), the properly integrated OS can still do little usability things that Linux can't like ^T. But mostly it's just stable and reliable and doesn't keep changing how everything works. Sound is still OSS. Network configuration is still ifconfig. The whole devfs/hal/udev mess was much less of a mess. I don't have to deal with systemd changing how everything works.

Frankly I'd turn your question around: FreeBSD does everything that Linux used to do for me, better than Linux does. So what's the point of Linux today?
Same here, it is kind of funny to see Java and .NET being re-invented by haters all the time.

First they do containers to replicate application servers, and now WASM to replicate bytecode server side.
> things like the all-white title bars that made it impossible to tell active and inactive windows apart (was that Win10 or Win8? Either way user feedback was so strong that that got reverted in the very next update)

Images online show that Windows 8 still had colored title bars, so it must have gone white in Windows 10. I do wish we have a way to get back colored title bars, since I find myself confused about what Window is active in a multi-monitor world.
I only like doing exercise where my brain is active all the time. So sports where there is competition (I play squash), or where i need to keep thinking about it (swimming so I don't drown), or one that doubles as social activity (like partner dancing)
If you think wearing a mask in social gatherings is abuse or mass punishment I don't know what to tell you. We may as well have not come up with germ theory! Children are not the fragile little snowflakes you're making them out to be, they understand the concept of responsibility and it is our job (ostensibly) as adults to make sure they embody it.

Whining about masks in public during a viral epidemic is telling the youth that their personal whims come before the collective health. Which some of you may believe, I'm not here to argue with you if you do. Should masks and vaccines have been the only solution? No. Should families and small businesses have to deal with inconsistent public information and almost no financial support? No.

But given the reality in which we find ourselves the bare minimum would be to not act like a mask is some particular burden. If you want to talk about mass punishment we could get on the topic of what nurses, doctors, and med techs are dealing with. Or all the "essential workers" that were treated like disposable refuse.

It's especially funny when you take into account billions of people around the world regularly wear masks in public during flu season, but apparently North Americans can't handle it.
That 50K is before taxes. My average tax rate is ~35% top marginal tax rate 50%. But yes that does give me essential free education including university, free healthcare, and good institutions.
I guess I'm more optimistic than you.

There is general consensus on many things (for example murder is banned across the world). There is rarely consensus on the "hot topics" of the day.

General consensus in my eyes doesn't mean that you have absolutely everyone agree, just a super high majority that gives you legitimacy. For example any vote above a super majority (67%, but for big stuff like this I'd say 80%+ )in a referendum could work.

There will always be extremists and for things to move you can't count on 100%.

For example even today, you couldn't pass a law for seat belt usage with 100% support. Even though any sane person in the last 20+ years would say that's ridiculous.
