>I don't think your assessment reflects the current attitudes in Canada. With such a polarizing topic, it's easy to fall into a bubble. I think this is true (and fairly normal) for any political in-group--we tend to overestimate our public support.

I love reading /r/ontario and /r/canada. Obviously cant comment like I do here without getting banned from those subreddits. So their bubble literally sees the truckers as a military occupation that needs to military to violently remove them. That's certainly not a misrepresentation of the general consensus there.

The threads about people killing and driving into protestors got applauds.

So certainly very polarized.

>Generally, people are [sympathetic](https://globalnews.ca/news/8610727/ipsos-poll-trucker-convoy...) to the occupiers, but I wouldn't read too much into that--I'm in the large minority that have "sympathy" for them, but I want them gone as soon as possible.

People generally support what they represent. They look at the global trend of everyone dropping restrictions and they want the same. However, how many Canadians believe these protesters are also racists, sexists, and white supremacists? The smearing is going to have an effect.

>Indeed, rather than this being "way too far," for most Canadians, it's not far enough.

Yes, it seems very polar. Trudeau's in the tanks polls wise because the people who believe the smears think this is a military occupation that needs violence to solve.

>The occupation is in violation of several court injunctions, which makes it illegal.

Like what? That's the thing about peaceful assembly charter right. There's virtually no case law. Which means you can't really injunct against it. You can go after them for bylaw violations that dont involve people. You can ticket a car that is parked illegally. An illegally parked car is not something that makes it a military occupation or even for that matter illegal.

>As for peaceful? I'd disagree--there's been too many incidents of violence for me to characterize it that way, but frankly that's secondary when you're in systematic violation of court orders (without even considering all of the civil violations like parking, noise, public defecation, etc.)

That's the problem with fundamental human rights. I have a right to peacefully protest. Someone else showing up and being violent doesn't remove my right. That's what fuels counter protesters to be violent. City bylaws also have absolutely no bering here.

>Every single province had a pre-existing deconfinement plan. They've been accelerated as the hospital situation continues to improve.

Which will certainly appease many of the protesters to go home. Not all will go home. This legislation that Trudeau just engaged is specifically designed not to stop peaceful protesters. This means Trudeau has to pull the trigger on military eventually.
I’m so sad I let my subscription lapse. I was grandfathered in at the $5 price point for quite a while.
I got banned from one because a creep tagged me in one of those subs

I'm actually kind of sympathetic to the ones trying to stop brigading though

The Chinese bots following me around for speaking about the uyghur genocide are pretty bad
The second graph that purports to invalidate the CDC Kansas study shows the masking counties persistently did better over the time shown. I don't understand how this is supposed to disprove the CDC's conclusions.

Th tweet linked to in the article includes the statement "Counties w/mandates are doing a bit better".
Definitely a problem and really the only practical solution is discipline and tracking.

Sooner or later most of this stuff will be aggregated into a meta-service, aka return of the "virtual department store". There's a reason those were successful.
This looks like a great book! Getting back to refreshing my dormant German, have any other good books like this? - Thanks!
Yes you can. Just look at the laws surrounding your local utility companies.
It's genuinely the dumbest city design I have ever seen, and it makes transport an absolute nightmare assuming you're interacting with real technology and not magic.

Cities are generally round for a good reason. You put the important stuff in the middle and your average transit trip remains as low as possible. Straight lines do the opposite, as you guarantee that each new resident is in literally the worst possible position for transit possible, and you over tax the center’s transit in order to move people to the ends of the line.

Oh, and consider the cost for things like sewage and water. They’re a bit component of a city’s cost, and here they’re laid out as inefficiently as possible.
Do people who buy luxury goods often just sell them for cash if they don't like them?

That seems strange.
Chrome has a "bookmark all open tabs" feature, I do this to clear everything out once in a while, safe in the knowledge I'm still hoarding the data safely somewhere.
The challenge here is cheap electricity. We can do amazing things with cheap electricity (green steel, green hydrogen, etc), but we are moving backwards on electricity prices. For example, we are seeing large electricity prices increases in Europe.
I suppose you could surgically implant a private key inside your body that could be used to decrypt a cache of your other or private keys. It'd have to be somewhere that can't be accessed without killing you, though.

What we need is shifting subsidies. Change the incentives year over year so farmer's can adapt. Maybe add some budget to incentivize faster changing without punishing the slower movers. Throw resources towards training and retooling.
Not much to say there, sadly (fortunately?). I grew up north surrounded by forests and had classes. Then as a kid up until young adulthood, gathering with friends and going into the woods with minimal equipment for the weekend was the easiest way to have freedom away from the parents.

As for the skins, I have only slept on a bear's because it was at someone's cabin. Even if the place didn't have much in term of heating it was still a good night. Sleeping on the skin wasn't planned but it happened due to comfort. A friend had a beaver's and a wolf's but those are too small to sleep with unless crafted into something bigger. They did keep your knees warm however!
The Bad Day - "I didn't like today, and also it was super bad."

Simple and to the point. I love it.
This is a bit of a gut-punch to read, I just finished half of my degree, and have made virtually no friends. Obviously that is because of deeper social issues I have.
Yeah, I thought this post was going to cover potential security risks specific to QR codes. I’m not sure why there would be any ethical issues surrounding this question.

I agree. Once you fight through the initial project setup, and solve the deployment difficulties (jDeploy), Java is a remarkably good platform for Desktop development. The sheer number of libraries available to you with a simple copy/paste dependency snippet, is unrivalled in any other ecosystem.

I had a job once that put new employees through a scavenger hunt that took us all over HQ. The secret benefit of it was not only to get to know people, but you had specific onboarding tasks to do that would also serve as a way of getting introduced to people.

"Go meet Jake on the 3rd floor". Some you had to do in sequential order, but other than that, we were turned loose to roam the halls, take the elevator/stairs and solve the hunt in whatever order we wanted over the course of about a week.

Turns out, Jake is the person who also handles payroll and direct deposit. You'd stop by, do your payroll stuff, have a little "getting to know you chat", he'd put his initials next to his spot on your scavenger hunt sheet, and give you a clue to how to find the next name or hunt item on the list. All of them directly related to something you would have had to do anyway to get 'onboarded' as a new employee.

It was fun, it was engaging, but it was also highly useful and germane to the usually boring tasks of "fill out this form to get paid, now fill out this one to get insurance, now this one for..."

Or if your house was burgled, and someone took that envelope before you died, you'd be in a world of hurt. Especially now that anyone that reads HN knows your secret. The amount of details some people post online just boggles me.

Yes, i found several people making that claim (or similar). Couldn't find any hard data to back it up, though (although i didn't search too hard since i'm at work :P)
Not being in the USA seems really important. For one thing, insurance is tied to employment in the US, so if you're taking time to work on a company that's a lot of money you're going to have to pay every month if you want healthcare.
It's fine to associate risk with increased reward. It's the same as saying the richer the gambler, the more appetite they have for higher stakes.
Yeah, there's a surprising amount of misreporting about countries dropping restrictions. I've seen a lot of articles that say or imply "all" yet the reality is only "some".
In my opinion, the campaigns against "misinformation" are largely attempts by big corporations and politicians to deplatform their competition.

Gotta make sure people only see trusted news sources that say the right things.
Maybe it should be:

If the proposed work destroys value: be difficult to work with.

this piece encapsulates the mindset of mainstream libs like Matty, 1 billion stupid takes, Yglesias perfectly and can be summarized as "yeah maybe these normal people were right on some things and I dismissed that without knowing anything, but I was still right to dismiss that because they're stupid".

it's now safe for Bari Weiss to ask some questions on TV that "normal people" have been asking for quite some time now and were called all sorts of things by the same people.

We will see more articles like this.

I hired a broker. Paid them no upfront fee, just a % of the sale. Maybe it was around 5%?

I had meetings with potential buyers and received a LOI (letter of intent) at a price I was comfortable with.

After that came 6 or 7 months of due diligence! I wasn’t expecting the process to last that long, but the buyer took time to interview my employees and secure a loan. At the end of each month I’d have to update my complete financial statements and the buyer would have to review them and they’d get submitted to the loan application.

Finally, the sale closed and I received a wire transfer.

I stayed on working for free (or maybe minimum wage?) FT for about a month, then part time for another month or two, and then finally on call for 1hr/week but no official office hours for another few months, just to make sure all the operations and handoff went smoothly. 6mo after the close I was officially done.
Maybe it's downvoted for the "guarantee he's alive" - Even if sudden death from Crohn's is unlikely, would suicide also be plausible, if the stolen funds were starting to catch up with him?
Back in the day, Rockbox was the way to play FLAC on your iPod. I never found it to be as responsive or stable, though. Would be tempted to update my old Classic to solid state but keep the official firmware.
It's interesting to consider, but the article references multiple political scientists who've studied conspiracy theories and concluded that they don't spread faster today. Is there a reason to believe they're wrong?

Interesting you said "co-op", which part of the US are you from? I've only ever heard that term used in Canada (I attend UWaterloo) and some northeastern US universities. People at UCLA/UC Berkeley were pretty confused when I said "co-op".
Although it's true that google results for subreddit in the specialty I'm looking for are (to me) top results (because I know I'll probably read from knowledged people on what I'm looking for), most of my queries are more about general trivia and other stuff that no platform like reddit can really encompass better than google it self.

I pretty much throw everything at google (like grammar, quotes, places, trivia in general, tech questions - reddit still isn't as good as stack-overflow for developers), Brave browser will take the ads out, and I get to choose my result. It's quite a nice experience.

(And no, I don't recommend Duck Duck Go either. It fails to show obvious results every now and then. I learned that the hard way.)
I think you underestimate the training/socializing effects of being raised with advertising, and the steps toward closing that gap already underway.

You can buy discounted TVs (and in some places they are the only TVs you can buy), which clearly have advertisements on them that others do not.

When more people wake up my bet is they will be accustomed to advertising, they will just want better advertising. And if one can get paid for receiving short-form entertainment with relevant product information, with appropriate branding I bet there is a market.
Anything that relies on cheap electricity is not going to actually be very green.
Exactly right, I do agree; both too much and too little exist.

I would say that 40 hours/week was no accident though. That was something workers battled for hundreds of years. It was the result of a prolonged debate about what is a reasonable work/life balance, in response to widespread employer abuse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day

I’m sure you’re right about 50 for some jobs, but it really depends. There’s a big difference between blue collar and white collar work, just to point at the probably the most obvious distinction.

My own experience with long hours is in film and video game production, where in film we were on a 50 hours per week contract and it went up to usually 60-70 with overtime pay near the end of production. In video games, it was 40 hours a week with extended crunch periods of 80 or even (kill me) slightly more. At 80 hours/week sustained, all life outside of work is over, it’s barely enough time to eat & sleep and no amount of money is worth it. And my productivity went down, I’m certain. At 50 I’m compromising on my family & friends a bit, but I’m probably as productive or slightly more productive than at 40. At 30 hours/week, I feel like I’m barely working, and that meetings burn what little time I have.

When I had my own startup, when I could be flexible with hours and work from home (pre-pandemic), it was probably easier to do 60 hours/week, happily and productively, than when I was working 40 for a larger corporation.
Yep. As mentioned, Apple Watch is the way to go if you're looking for a modern shuffle, and it does support offline Spotify these days.

The issues with using an older shuffle is that replacing the batteries on ANY of them is a massive chore, and none of them have bluetooth, which means you'd be back to dangling wires, which (imo) sucks when running. I believe the later generation nanos supported BT, though, so they might be a cheap candidate for a "music while running" solution.

Police don't prosecute.
Police drive/walk around town grabbing people they don't like or can shake down for money.

Well did the coins on the wallets allegedly belonging to the dead man move?
Collaboration & empowerment require balance. It sounds like you've been pushed over the edge into collaborative hell, where you're getting pulled in every direction because there's a lack of clear ownership, responsibility, and empowerment: Teams and individuals solving their own problems.

If you're being polite and respectful, you're being easy to work with. A refusal to agree to certain tasks doesn't contradict that.

Not fully true. Much of the initial NASA tech was transferred over to the Department of Defense and is used for ICBMs and various missiles. There is a lot of overlap with NASA and the DoD when it comes to these things. The difference is that the DoD basically has infinite budget when they really ask and NASA has a paltry percentage.

There is no need for the monetization of data.

Monetizing users' attention is enough.

Look at the Brave model. People get paid for the ads, no personal data is exchanged.
And a lot of people here would probably be screaming if you did prosecute some immature 20-something picked at random and tossed them in prison for ten years for an ill-considered social media post.

I'm cherry picking a stat from this article, but it doesn't appear totally out of the realm of possibility to die from Crohns.

It is well accepted that Crohn's disease is associated with a small but real risk of death. Population based reports from Sweden,1,2 Denmark,3 and Italy4 indicate that Crohn's disease patients have a higher mortality rate than expected, although at least one notable exception from the UK demonstrated survival similar to the general population (table 1 1).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC1856159/
Except that the timing for reporting cases and deaths often varies considerably on weekends, which is why it is better to look at 7 day moving averages to smooth out that noise.
That's both sort of an explanation - even my local grocery store uses armored cars to transport money to/from a bank, not holding piles of it at home - and more red flags.
> Reformed salesperson here, you're 1 for 4, and Trello really should only get half a point because they've given up massive swathes of their addressable market to others (Wrike, Asana, Monday).

Trello sold itself. Explosive growth. Great product. Whether they have given up market share is irrelevant.

Gmail had explosive growth. You use it, you're sold on how good it is.

I'm not sure why some of you think having a salesperson means a product doesn't sell itself. Everyone layers on sales to capture more of the market share at some point.
I've worked at multiple places that implemented weekly "Donut Buddies" (https://www.donut.com/) and I think it's amazing. It never felt forced, let alone "infantilizing." The truly socially anxious people could just opt out by leaving the Slack channel for it so they wouldn't be assigned a buddy anymore. I found it amazing for building relationships around the company.

I'm at a tiny startup right now as an engineer, not mgr, and I have weekly 1:1s with every other member of our team. Especially now during remote work, it's a godsend for getting to know teammates.
Never auto-renew by default.

Any time I sign up for something, I only sign up for a month and I immediately turn off auto-renew. If I miss it at the end of the month, I can sign up again, but usually I won't. If I get through another month, I'll consider a year if its a much better deal, but usually I won't.

The moment I see dark patterns in a subscription model (e.g., I lose my data if my subscription lapses, I have to phone in to cancel), I cancel and don't look back, even if I like the service otherwise.
Is there anything that the admissions committee can do to make sure that admission is totally discrimination free? Even evaluating by pure test results would mean that there is systematic discrimination towards the unprivileged. Asians are extremely well represented at top schools, i'm not sure what they are fighting for?
Agreed; ordered priority task list allows you to communicate to management in language that you both understand.

One thing that's also a REALLY hard but beneficial pill to swallow for a lot of us, is that "business/organization/management/client/stakeholder" (whichever term is appropriate to individual situation) may have goals and priorities WILDLY different from individual contributor. For example, it is entirely possible that they may prioritize a solid flow of updates over fast execution; and it may in some cases even be rational - "We'd rather have predictable and understood slow cadence we can plan around, than a fast but opaque and possibly random cadence of releases".

This is why communication and empathy is important; understanding other people, their priorities, and seeing their perspective and why they may make requests or act in a way they do, can be enlightening (... and a burden :P )
