That’s the theory. In reality, insurance policies are complex and reading them closely matters. I just re-read the pre-existing conditions clause of my employer provided long term disability policy and I’m pretty sure that if you’ve had the policy for over a year you can’t be denied due to a preexisting condition. They offer the policy to all employees, there is no screening. Therefore, if you have a slowly progressing disease that will result in disablement more then a year out you can still get a long term disability policy that covers it.
Because you mention it a couple times, do enterprise security policies negatively interact with accessibility in an enterprise environment?

My experience with corporate IT has been that they're not great at, or under resourced for, any outside-the-box situation.

But since accessibility software is a legal requirement, at least in the US, I'm curious if that breaks the tendency to inaction.

I downloaded the Ensemble app for the Mac.

I got a tar file, which, when expanded, gave me an app. I launched the app (who's name I do not recall), which proceeded to download a JRE...somewhere, and gave me (I think) another app.

I launched that app, it, too, downloaded another JRE (so it said), and then launched the Ensemble app.

The Ensemble app worked fine, but none of the source code from the samples was visible. I don't know if that's a packaging issue or not.

Where did it install the JREs?

> You seem to be advocating a position that content moderation, and services that rely upon it, should not exist. I'm not sure why Hacker News would somehow be an exception to this, so you seem to be advocating this site should not exist. If you're not advocating this, perhaps you should explain how this site, which consists entirely and exclusively of user-generated content, would get around without content moderation, or why that content moderation would be acceptable.

This is covered in the post you're responding to, directly. And others in this thread. I don't think it's particularly important or helpful that HN be outlawed, but I might be willing to accept that for fixing worker abuse in social media companies generally. I doubt, however, that'd be necessary, for reasons that are, again, covered plenty well in other posts of mine here. The TL;DR is that it's totally normal to have regulations, including for worker protection, that kick in only at a certain scale (say, employee head count) and that could probably work here.

I'm not set on or advocating outlawing HN. My entire original point was that harmful social media moderation jobs do not have to be done. Facebook (among others) choose to operate in a way that makes them necessary for their bottom line. Further, we implicitly choose to allow these jobs to exist by not making jobs that are psychologically abusive illegal without an excellent justification, as we do with jobs that are physically abusive or dangerous without a great reason to be so. This is close enough to regulations we already have for worker safety, that I don't think it's wildly outside the bounds of behavior we (at least in the US) already regulate.

I doubt HN in particular is harming moderators very much, for a bunch of reasons including its size and the form it takes. Probably not a ton worse than your average customer service job. And maybe better, since no-one's yelling abuse at them on the phone.

There is no "gotcha" here, for multiple reasons.
It’s pretty easy. Mandating people get vaccinated for diseases they already had is the height of dumb. That’s what this protest is about, does the govt have the right to force your employer to fire you if you don’t get vaccinated for a disease you already have.

If didn't vote for Trudeau, I guess I can't support this?

An overwhelming majority of Canadians support political parties whose platforms prioritize public health over personal freedoms. Even the conservative party supported some mandates!

It is indeed a small minority.
I dunno about rounded corners for beauty - but there are cases when I find them function over form.

Recent HN discussion about the wyze cam app - it was pointed out to me that a feature I had never been able to find (and only put in a less than half-assed attempts to find tbh) - was via a HUGE green button on X screen.

Seeing as though I have used this app many many times over the past year plus, I went looking for it - and wham - it is actually there.

But.. it's a large sharp cornered bottom of the screen - which made it look like a header / footer / name of page to me.. it never dawned on me that it was a 'button' - if it had rounded corners and a drop shadow it would have be obvious to me.

Of course I had other expectations as well - that the 'thing to push' would be above the half way fold of the screen to access such an important function - and that the naming conventions would be done better - but I digress.

Now I did like the 'beauty' of slightly rounded corners back in the day when everything was sharp, and many web pages had 'sidebars' - I liked the look of a round corner there.

Sadly most content is absorbed via the mobile devices and such 'form' is not as much about beauty / style as it is to show function these days it seems.

Small data points, but another perspective that may not have been considered nonetheless.
That was in the bad old days before CSS border-radius existed and you had to use transparent GIFs and lots of other fun tricks.
> Right now the hospitals continue to be overloaded and so long as that is the case the government's health officials absolutely have a right to limit risky activities that are likely to explode the amount of people going to the hospital.

The hospitals here in Quebec have been overloaded and badly managed ever since I was of age to vote, and that's more than 20 years ago.

Most hospitals here have been operating above 100% capacity (you can find this information btw) for years. Waiting time in ER are crazy and the time to see a doctor have been reported to take in average 15 hours and up to 20 hours (pre-covid data in 2019) [1]. God forbid if you need to be hospitalized, as it can reach 24-48 hours.

Firing nurses over COVID measures before Christmas certainly didn't help, which is worth pointing out.

The politicians are trying to shift the blame of the bad healthcare systems happening under their watch to COVID.

In relation to this you can also ask yourself: how much would you charge to drive around pick up random people that are drunk, hostile, throw up in your car, dont want to pay and things that are worse?

So it is a risky business and there is only one person to pay for it.
Each month my ISP sends me a flyer telling me how much easier it would be to pay them if I let them auto-draft their fee out of my bank account.

That's a new level of low for Reddit I think (at least it is my first time seeing it): "this community is available in the app".

That is a very nice way to phrase "our way or the highway" I think.

It's almost like those people want lemmy to succeed.
Then why are 8 of 10 premiers opposed to the invocation of the act? Sounds like opposition to Trudeau's gov't policy is pretty broad and widespread.

Probably also why the Conservatives got more votes than the Liberals (that and a lot of Canadians don't want a leader who wears blackface, I mean when you're talking fringe minorities with unacceptable views, doesn't wearing blackface to the mall sort of top the list?)

Just personally, what seems more unacceptable to you, wearing blackface, or going to a peaceful protest to protest people being fired to get vaccinated for a disease they already had?
One of my computer science professors was old enough to remember his undergraduate on punchcards, running stacks on shared mainframes at night.

In his words, "You got really good at checking your code, because if you made a mistake, you had to wait until the next evening for another time slot."

It stuck with me because it boggled my (privileged) mind how adaptable people and their brains are to just about any scenario you can dream up.
I love space exploration, so please don't take me wrong...

I've got an unpopular opinion: For me, the state-sponsored space exploration of space (particularly, the Space Race) slowed down progress in the sciences and even for space exploration in the long run.

Of course, people can point to me all sorts of technologies that appeared first during the race. Unfortunately, we don't have a fork or an alternative world where this didn't happen that we could use to compare, so anything I say pointing to the high-cost such endeavors had to society is almost always met with skepticism (if you argue this makes me wrong, you're committing a fallacy regardless if I'm right or wrong).

It's impossible to say for sure but had not a lot of resources been taken from civil society for these projects, there is a chance that there'd be a demand to do it in a more effective and long-term way from the very beginning, and this is my point.

Yes, maybe humans would be on Moon only 30 years later. Still, there's a chance at least the wealthiest could afford a week-long vacation with their families today on the Moon. We could have labs and factories for specialized equipment that might benefit from a low-gravity environment in space or whatever.
It's a pretty reasonable explanation for why they're popular. Something that looks artificial looks out of place and doesn't blend. It's aesthetically unpleasing. Just take a haircut. There's a reason rounded shapes on a beard or a hairline look better than cutting a 90 degree angle into your head which makes you look like Minecraft Steve.

We're fine tuned to notice things that stand out as artificial and we usually respond to it in a negative way. The uncanny valley effect is another example.
The really baffling thing to me is that although certain technologies have come to pass in the last decade that made it easier to do what spacex has done, it’s been technically possible since probably the late 90’s. I’m absolutely certain that Elon musk isn’t the first person to come up with the idea of reusable rockets, and the people who actually did the work of designing those rockets were already around before Elon musk hired them. Tom Mueller, who was the first rocket engineer Musk hired, was building rocket engines in his garage out of frustration that nobody was taking him seriously at work. So the question is, how deep does institutional rot have to go to stifle innovation on this level industry wide? How does an organization dedicated to exploration become so utterly unable to take risks? There’s definitely something to learn here.

I’m looking through the list of the heads of nasa, and they’re all trained scientists or engineers up until 1981 when Reagan appointed a business management executive to the position. If I could pinpoint anything as the inflection point, that’s probably it. After that it’s a mixture, but you get a lot of military generals and other members of the national security apparatus together with various business CEOs, and some mechanical engineers, and a couple rocket scientists too. But why did none of them try what spacex is doing? People from lower down in the organization were presumably shouting at them that they were wasting money. Everyone in an organization knows when the leadership is useless. It just baffles the mind. A fish rots from the head.

From Wikipedia article on rationing in UK:

That is a good example of why they aren't adequate (if that's indeed the case).

This reminds me of Moravec's paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox). Basically, tasks that seem hard for humans are easy for computers and vice versa.

Have a look at how driving a taxi has changed. (And I include the likes of Uber here.)

The hard part for humans used to be knowing all the roads in a city and selecting the best route quickly and reliably. Almost any adult can do the actual second-to-second driving reasonably competently in almost any city on the planet.

Now, we have outsourced the 'hard' part to Google Maps. But we are still far from a machine that drives in arbitrary locations on the globe. As far as I know, Waymo has the most mature system currently in development, but requires absurd amounts of precise mapping data for any location they want to drive in.

And let's not even talk about the even more 'trivial' task of chatting to the passengers.

> [...], but it doesn't seem to be very good at science/engineering (drug discovery/self driving cars/radiology).

Technology has already automated huge chunks for science and engineering. We just don't call any of the already solved chunks by the name of AI anymore.
And you just ignored the main point, which was not the amount of the fine, but the "1905 ruling that legitimized the authority of states to “reasonably” infringe upon personal freedoms during a public health crisis". Not that I think this is a good (or a bad) thing, but it's a historical fact.

> Non-peaceful does not imply violence.

What, specifically, about this protest is not peaceful - in the context of protests?

> Most everyone is willing to tolerate a couple days of protests.

If you only protest so long as people are willing to tolerate it, I don't see the point of protesting at all. Could you imagine how society would look today if emancipation protestors packed it up and went home after a few days?

> That isn’t peaceful, it’s obviously disruptive to the point of intolerability.

If being disruptive isn't the point of a protest, what is?

At least when I think of "Corporate Memphis" I think of weirdly disproportional humans.

Even just thinking of how much sighted developers benefit from adding a second or third display to our setup— what is the benefit of added desktop area? Additional context, of course, being able to have lots of things on the go at once! And then you unplug from your dock and all those windows you had spread out are now crushed together on the single laptop screen.

It boggles my mind imagining the discipline that would be required to maintain all this state purely in one's mind.

Speaking for myself, I could see this being useful to me if you targeted any kind of S3 target, along with something like Github Releases. Even just outputting the results to a filesystem location would be simple and appease a good chunk of the HN crowd I suspect.

Similar to GP I wouldn't be trusting NPM with this kind of thing. For the convenience factor of it though, you should definitely leave that in place.
...which makes sense. If someone is going to write, interpret, or enforce laws, you want them to have a deep understanding of the law.

You aren't understanding how capital and risk allocation work at a portfolio level. The people putting money in the SoftBank funds ALREADY have hundreds of billions invested in public equities. They are looking to diversify their portfolio across different asset classes. Your comment isn't relevant.
I think this might nicely dovetail with Taleb's anti-fragility. You get anti-fragility not by planning for every edge case (you'll miss some) but by building self-correction mechanisms and controls in that allow to adjust without waiting for the whole behemoth to move. Give people enough room to maneuver to handle exceptions. If you cannot trust people to do that you might to find different people

Various parts of Kenosha off the top of my head. Most other arson cases were isolated businesses, police precincts, etc. There were also entire neighborhoods in which virtually every business was looted.

The observation that it downloaded 2 JREs (one for the installer and the other for the app) is a rough edge that will be fixed in an upcoming release. The reason is that the installer itself is an app that was bundled by jDeploy. It required a JRE, but didn't require JavaFX. When you, then launched the actual app, which was installed, it needed JavaFX, so couldn't use the JRE that was installed for the installer app, so it downloaded a JRE with JavaFX.

I will be optimizing this so that the "installer app" will try to use a JRE that meets both the installer requirements and app requirements so it only needs to download one JRE.

Hope that makes sense.

Nice work and good explanatory website. I would like an easier process for deploying Java desktop apps, but the solution I use would need to also make it easier for me to deploy to the app stores (aka Mac App Store, Microsoft Store on Windows). Basically I would need a code signed app that I could submit to Apple.
Is this a serious question? I honestly can't tell if you're trolling.

Not my own business but from my experience at the B2B SaaS company I work for –

Hire salespeople! It will be obvious when you need to do it. You will put it off by saying that the entire sales industry is made up of needless gatekeepers and leeches, and that those fat commissions are better invested elsewhere in the business. Except you will see your self-serve funnel dry up and your well-funded competitors will start eating your lunch unless you take that leap.

It doesn't matter how smart your engineers are and how fully featured and bug free your product is. Unless you have a stellar sales team with the right leads who are pushing it on people with all their might, it is going nowhere.

I actually prefer the 0 indexing of python. Systems code (c/c++ etc.) already uses 0 based indexing. So it is nice that when you do data science the convention stays the same.
Brad Trommel, an artist, analysed the rounded vs square icons in a video about the infantilization of the western culture. He suggested that the rounded shape are 'easier on the eyes' bc they remind people of childrens toys. Same for the choice to shift to a hypersaturated pastel color pallets. This leads to a more suggestable mind set and fits well with dark patterns.
I thought it was needless to say, but people don't immediately drop dead as soon as their planned retirement period expires. They either have to re-budget or go on things like a pension etc.

I am talking about normal people, not OPG members. Nor am I talking about companies riding the privatization wave and/or the exporting of natural resources OR exploiting existing heavy manufacturing. I also realize that if we navigate to the Harvard Economic Atlas for Russia, we will see that this is the bulk of the business there (https://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/countries/186/export-basket).

But, I personally know a number of guys who became directors in their 20s based on raw talent in Russian tech / e-commerce / straight up commerce companies. Despite what you said, there was a number of business opportunities there for younger people. There was also a lot of opportunities providing basic services - cellular, emergency vehicle support (coming out to change battery/tire), etc, etc. The market is too mature in the US for these "easy" businesses for young people.

Of course, we have the best funding for startups, but that's a bit of a higher bar for the average person.
