There was a court case that settled this if you're curious to learn more. [1] Not only did they rule it unlawful, they gave the truckers a few hours after the ruling came down to vacate the area before it went into effect. They have been given every opportunity. They decided that rather than following the lawful orders of the court, they would simply continue their occupation.

This isn't a protest, it's an unlawful occupation. Canada has a long history of peaceful protest. If they'd picketed on the streets in front of Parliament Hill as hundreds of thousands have done over the last century nobody would have batted an eyelash. In fact the government gave them three full weeks of outright occupation before they began to ask them to leave - then eventually told them to in no uncertain terms.

After all there have been tens of other anti-vaxx protests in Canada over the last two years. None were treated this way.

> So if you ask me, if there was a large security threat in the United States or Canada for example or any allied nation regarding spies from lets say the CCP, I believe they should absolutely be investigated and potentially put into secure camps regarding national security of a country.

Were the people imprisoned there actually a security threat? Were they investigated? Was it before or after they were interred?
Aren't there filesystem options that affect this? Wasn't there a whole controversy over ext4 and another filesystem not committing changes even after flush (under specific options/scenarios)?
LTT is more focused on entertaining the audience than providing thorough, professional testing.
Did she post evidence though? She refers to pages of presentations that we don't have access to, so why is she more trustworthy (other than not being the coinbase guy who everyone seems to dislike)?

Also, I don't know how business stuff like this works, but if a company pays an ad agency for ad ideas, aren't they paying for ownership of those ideas? How many classic commercials were actually original ideas of the company whose product was being advertised? Yet we all still consider the polar bears to be a coca-cola commercial, WAZZUUUUUP to be budweiser commercials, etc.

It just seems unprofessional. Why would a company want to hire this agency now? Of course if coinbase ceo is lying then it's definitely rude not to give credit, but that seems like it's just how these things go.
Wow. Could this explain why we have a lot of problems with MySQL running on Mac OS with the databases randomly getting totally corrupted and basically needing to be restored from backup each time?

At first glance, it seems to make sense - if someone shuts down while there is still uncommitted data because MySQL has tried a fsync(), it could leave the files on disk in a weird state when the power is cut. Am I missing something?
It's called a lie by a conservative MP who is pandering to a very gullible base. I am deeply concerned for the rational judgment of anyone who actually believed that bit of nonsense.

Every level of government has asked the MP to give details, because clearly it isn't true. He hasn't because the person does not exist.

Ultimately he should resign. Either he was trolled and played, or he simply has so little respect for the public that he invented a tale to play on (largely foreign) beliefs.
No problem. It's not always obvious in advance because we're all aware of different material, but from what I've seen this line is a political meme right now, which is not the basis for a substantive, curious conversation.

Ask HN: Is remote work killing your network?
After two years of being beaten into this new way of working I honestly feel more at a loss for what my career is than any other time in my life.

I've been doing software work about four years now, first year or so was at a big co. next two were at a series B startup (8 mo. in person the rest remote due to covid).

I took a full-remote job at another startup thinking their processes would be better calibrated and I'm finding being social / building any kind of work relationships being nothing but an uphill battle. I'm not incredibly social outside of work, sure I can go to a bar and meet new people relative to a group of friends and don't necessarily think I have serious social anxiety (more than the average person) but the idea of 80% of accessible work for me (looking at my level of ability / experience / leetcode foo) is sort of freaking depressing.

My growth has without a doubt stalled, I can focus sort of but working from home with an office isn't great and having to pay for a noisy co-working space isn't exactly a "win" either.

I'm in New York currently, sort of decided to hold out while I have a group of friends here / sort of took a risk hoping office culture would sort of come back. Realizing that's likely not looking like a probable outcome at this point and curious what others on HN think about this. Even at the Big Co. I could get lunch with people, found mentorship relatively easily etc. Now, it's this bizarre constant process of scheduling, trying to "leverage" the time of who you're talking to and all feels very effete and robotic. I should also add that if I ever have to start doing meetings in VR I'll willingly just become a lumberjack and chuck my MacBook into the nearest river.

Basically, I'm on the fence in terms of moving into a rural area with cool outdoor things (and lower CoL) since why live in New York without an office. Or stay in NYC for the "network" but what's the point if I'm not super social and if I don't have the chops to really see the comp gains you get working here?

The Future of Work TM is looking pretty bleak - what do you kind folks think?

Cheers!
No doubt that's true in general, but this particular line has become such a meme that it's the worst way to seed such a discussion right now.

But if you check steamdb, CSGO's playerbase is only increasing.
Ftx's ad is, on it's surface, funny. But it was terrible execution and wrong spokesperson. The enduring vision is Larry David shaking his head and saying nope. Adding a tag line "don't be like Larry" is meaningless, images stick with people. Further, the FTX branding is entirely forgettable.

Subconsciously, people agree with "Larry David" the character 99% of the time -- that's the core of his humor, how stupid all these little polite conventions are, how hypocritical people tend to be. Larry just is the guy willing to say it out loud. People watch his show because they DO want to be like Larry.

And if you don't like "Larry David", the real Larry David produced two of the most successful tv shows of all time and is rich beyond belief. Even in the ad he's the one in the big office behind a desk making important decisions, not the dweeb showing him a phone app.
I am confused here, why should I care about this whole thing?
1. Does it support autoscaling (up and down)? Do you have docs/links

2. What's the cost ($/instances/overhead) of going HA

3. How does this handle reliable/multiregion storage and data transfer (eg: if a region is having outage)?

4. Have you considered publishing this on the Hetzner community blog?
The use of Google Play is at least not mandatory. You can fully DIY your app distribution if you feel like it.
It sounds like you know an awful lot about NK and the PRC and very little about Canada. I do wish you well, but your argument, to my point, is a highly fringe view.
You’re off by a factor of 5. It’s 0.016% of their annual revenue.
There's a difference between the informal culture of rank and file employees, how they see themselves and their peers, and the upper management. Culture at the bottom can get diluted by hiring too rapidly and a high degree of churn, which doesn't yield sufficient time for new hires to be assimilated into culture, gradually weakening it.

But at the top, for a public company, the only culture that truly exists is the next quarterly report. Once you're on the "must show XX% quarterly growth" treadmill, your decisions will be dictated by strategies to further that. Unless you have a crazy person at the top willing to burn money and investor sentiment (e.g. Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Jobs. Google doesn't have crazy founders running it anymore, which is why Google Bets are kind of a joke, and why the company continually kills stuff that you need to be in the long hall for to make a success (e.g. gaming studios, red studios -- they finally got a hit Cobra Kai -- and killed it, etc)

That's why some of the earlier comments about understanding Apple's App Store behavior as "good intentioned" is off. That MAY have been the original reason behind Jobs wanting it, to gate keep the platform and protect brand image and quality, but it is NOT the reason for charging high fees today.

Apple made $72 billion on App Store revenue in 2020. Their total revenue was $274 billion, so 26% of all revenue came from the App Store. That is the reason for the inertia in keeping the Store exactly the way it is.

The App Store's purported benefits to the platform: security, quality, etc could all be maintained for a fraction of that. Apple is not spending $72 billion a year on store maintenance. It's very clear this is about money, not high minded principle.
Europe depends on Russian energy to keep the heat on in winter.

US refineries have replaced sanctioned Venezuelan oil with a Russian type bumping them up to a very respectable 10% of oil imports.

The US is also responsible for its own security, not the other way around.
Interesting, but how do you know if you've captured all the potential states for all possible inputs to a program?

An unexpected state would seem to break the memory model, and lead to corrupted data, wouldn't it?
You didn't refute the actual concrete evidence I provided in any way, though. I can tell it doesn't fit with your preconceived narratives.
Not only is it unconfirmed, it has been explicitly denied by banks, the government and the RCMP. Sanctions have only been levied on organizers and direct participants in the illegal occupation.

The MP either lied, or got played by someone who knew he was a gullible tool.
Whose "interest of security" are you referring to? If it's the security of Eastern European countries like Georgia and Ukraine, it's self-evident that counties would want to join NATO. If it's existing NATO members, there may be a general interest in expanding to countries who are under threat by the country that caused NATO to be formed in the first place.

Blaming this situation on NATO is like shooting someone with a gun and then blaming them because they bought a bullet proof vest because they were concerned that you would shoot them with a gun.
I had hoped it was chess because if so then we aren't dealing with an unhinged maniac with his hands on a thousand nukes. But this action seems so dislocated from what's in Russia's interests that my hopes are looking dashed. Putin can invade Ukraine and turn Russia into North Korea. Or he can settle for the two regions and further push Ukraine into the hands of NATO. Either way, Russia has lost. These are looking like the actions of an ideologue, which is a really not good sign.

my favourite thing about 5K is that you can do 2x scaling and still have plenty of space on your screen to display multiple windows (effectively 2560x1440)

but with a 4K screen, you have three options: 1. no scaling and tiny fonts (ugh), 2. fractional scaling (ugh), or 3. 2x scaling and settle for 1080p real estate (ugh)

IMO 5K > 1440p > 4K > 1080p

Support of the majority? 93% of Canadians wanted to see the protests cleared. 2/3rds wanted participants jailed.

A majority of Canadians agree with a lifting of mandates, but this was true before this protest, and if anything the protest set it back. Support for the protest was extremely low.
I think you've misunderstood the comment you're replying to, as I don't believe that comment is talking about keeping up the population.

I think they are talking about what kind of decision making about kids is rational for most people across the majority of the population, as well as what kind of decision making is useful for sustaining the cultures we have.

It would be a pretty big deal if most people decided to apply the "wait until we have a nice, stable home with decent healthcare and education" rule for having kids. In much of the developed world, it would be tantamount to deciding that only well-off people shall have kids, and the effect of that on human culture would be profound.
Especially given that, if you have some use case that requires it on a regular basis, there are a number of ways to programmatically simulate it.

I don't think GP comment belittles Vint. It belittles Google, for just hiring him for his name and not for his expertise. Vint is very vocal about IPv6 adaptation, yet it sounds like his opinion seems to be treated as if he was some kind of intern there. "Cool Vint, you do your stuff, publish your papers and we do our stuff".
This is exactly how it feels with every iteration of my company's new design. Let's disappear scroll bars! Let's hide the menu!

Let's make clickable and non-clickable text the same font, style, and color! Let's--

If you are outraged by this and anti-repair laws, there's a very simple solution, and that's to Repeal DMCA Section 1201.

Section 1201 was invented to protect DVDs primarily, and states that it is a crime to circumvent DRM technologies or to share the methods for circumventing DRM regardless of intent unless there is a Section 1201 exception, which is granted every three years on a Library of Congress review.

Making an audio transcription of a DRM-protected eBook for your blind mother who lives with you? Until recently (because the EFF won a 1201 exception until 2024), illegal, even if you didn't commit any copyright infringement by sharing it with other people.

As far as I know, no other civilized nation has anti-circumvention rules that do not consider intent. This rule is what allows John Deere to suppress tractor repair manuals, Apple to charge those who defeat their digital repair lockouts, DYMO to be able to sue anyone making paper with RFID tags to beat their system, and countless other fair-use activities to be restricted.

Repeal Section 1201. End the nonsense.
Are you asking me to point you to a substantive internet comment drawing an interesting parallel between some divisive contemporary situation and Nazis, while managing not to be flamebait? I don't know of one. Note that word "if".

Scroll Lock is feeling super happy right now.
The author talks about how we are quick to criticize some non-western infringements on rights, but when western countries (like Australia and now Canada) violate people's rights we pretend its different. I'm not disputing this, just want to add that I think internal criticism is harder for most people, especially blind adherents to whatever system. For example, I bet Iranians that support their government probably look at western countries and have all kinds of criticisms, but have a hard time applying that same critique to Iran and its allies (just a made up example, I don't know anything about Iran really). So it's more about human nature. We need more questioning an less blind conformance generally.
> No lawyer, accountant, doctor, engineer, scientist or other professional stands up each day to report to their peers on their progress.

This just isn't true. Semiconductor process engineers and manufacturing technicians have stand-ups twice a day. I'm sure most if not all of those other professions have ~daily alignment meetings as well.
It might be less biased than some, but it does have bias.
Batteries can technically be used until their voltage is 0 ( it would be hard to get any current under >1 volt for lithium cells but still). The cutoff is either due to the BMS (battery management system) cutting off power to protect the cells from permanent damage or because the voltage is just too low to power the device (but in that case there's still voltage).

Running lithium cells under 2.7v leads to permanent damage. But, I'm sure laptops have a built-in safety margin and can cut off power to the system selectively. That's why you can still usually see some electronics powered (red battery light, flashing low battery on a screen, etc) even after you "run out" of battery.

I've never designed a laptop battery pack, but from my experience in battery packs in general, you always try to keep safety/sensing/logging electronics powered even after a low voltage cutoff.

Even in very cheap commodity packs that are device agnostic, the basic internal electronics of the battery itself always keep themselves powered even after cutting off any power output. Laptops have the advantage of a purpose built battery and BMS so they can have a very fine grained power management even at low voltages.
They did comply with the ruling by allowing companies to submit apps for the Dutch market that use third party payment processors (albeit with the 27% fee which the ruling did not seem to have an issue with).

The Dutch ACM is now trying to make its ruling apply extraterritorially by rejecting Apple’s solution of allowing a Netherlands-specific app.
Fast food places have been using automation for a long time, even having a conveyor belt that runs over the grill like many places have had for a long time is automation.
Except when they take time to "know you" with carefully crafted social engineering with full teams behind them- similar to some ad corporations.

200% scaling might be fine, but fractional scaling still isn't well supported on Linux. I'd prefer such a monitor, yes, if it wasn't going to limit what systems I can run.

Yeah, and numerous real-world costs. Reasonable people can still disagree on the priority and balancing of these costs and benefits as there is rarely a factually correct answer.

In general, "+=" probably needs to be non-atomic to support "__add__" overloading; Python wouldn't be able to call arbitrary "__add__" methods in a way that could guarantee atomicity.

My argument is, that there are multiple strategies and that you are using a suboptimal, possibly at this point a counter-productive one.

You will NEVER convince everyone (or even close to a majority) to stop eating meat. At least not in anything close to a lifetime and without highly authoritarian methods. So working toward that end is pointless. You should be, instead, working on providing an alternative and making sure people adopt it.

> This is how any rights movement works.

Yeah, and they all make the same mistake. Most of them have managed to change the values of the population but then lose steam, slow down and get stuck or even slide back when trying to change societal systems.
Almost like changing values and changing systems isn't the same thing.

> Also, there are already made viable replacements for meat. I’d start with lentils, but you don’t like them there are hundreds of other options.

I've tried most of the ones that are available here. And no, they have not. They are getting better, and some are very interesting as a standalone thing, but they are not a replacement.

If you believe that something has changed in the methods of global politics since the mid of 20th century, then you haven't been curious enough to look at the state of the world beyond convenient western news coverage.
