I think that the burden ought to fall not only on King County voters, but on the WA & Fed. gov't to an extent. My cursory feeling is that my good progressive friends in Seattle would be happy to pay a tax increase, if that were to translate into a guaranteed significant reduction in misery.

Sorry, no. Well, not this time. The failing in this case is that there's no guarantee that anyone would remain in such a facility against their will, given that neither being an addict nor insane is enough to keep someone in jail in and of itself.

I'm comfortable with the first two instances of sleeping rough or public drug use being misdemeanors; after that-you've gotta go.
> The platform is irrelevant.

I understand your point, but I think the platform is relevant. There are four platforms that have a considerable number of users (TikTok, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook/Instagram), and they all have provenly effective censorship, especially optimized over the past couple of years. If it's one of those four, it does matter.

I would also claim that the platform is only irrelevant if removing that platform results in a negligible reduction in views. Removing TikTok removes 1/4 of the services, and probably the vast majority of younger eyes.
That's not quite true.

WFH was instituted as an emergency response to COVID-19, thus it can't really be stated that employers forced WFH upon employees capriciously.

Enlightened employers can and have seen the value of hybrid policies that take employee preferences into account: those who prefer at-office can choose to come in, and those who prefer remote can choose WFH.

The disagreement is when an employer is unwilling to work with the employee to reach an understanding that benefits both mutually.

Taken from the other perspective, were a company to become entirely remote, then it could be seen to ruin the relationship for employees who had wanted to come into the office.

That is the case here: what is ruined is that no attempt has been made to reach a middle ground, whereby those who wish to remain at the office can do so, and those who prefer WFH can do so.

It is this reluctance to appreciate the learnings from our collective covid experience: that WFH is a significant boon to a large percentage of employees, and indeed is a competitive advantage, that has ruined an otherwise wonderful working relationship with an employer.

And thus, the only response is to look for employers who appreciate WFH as the competitive advantage it is.
Whats good about arbitrary 100-900? I would think a float would have worked fine.

The whole idea of different levels of boldness is not great anyhow. If you really care you would use a spercific font to get the weight you want.

Unclear to me why Reuters articles seem officially blessed on HN in the face of superior reporting from NYT or WaPo, etc.

I guess the original reason for preferring Reuters or AP was, avoiding a paywall, but now of course, Reuters has a paywall.

So I would opine that the traditional flagging/downvoting of NYT links for this kind of story, in favor of Reuters, should cease.

Speaking as an American...

I was aware that "broiling" was a cooking method, but I have no concept of what it involves. After checking a dictionary, I still don't -- wikipedia redirects "broiling" to "grilling", and Merriam-Webster defines "broil" as "to cook by direct exposure to radiant heat: grill", with an example given of "broil the steak in the oven". I would be more likely to use "bake" for heating something in an oven, though I'm uneasy about applying "bake" to a steak; I'd probably just say "cook the steak in the oven".

I would use "fry" for cooking something in oil; I would not personally use "sauté" at all.

I note further that neither Merriam-Webster nor wikipedia seems to be aware of a distinction between grilling and baking, or at least not one they're willing to articulate. I would have said that baking involves being cooked within an oven and grilling involves being cooked on top of a hot surface.

Their presence in Czechia is really small, it's not a Czech company in normal sense. My guess it's just a way how to get better access to western markets.

The business risk is that they might not be able to transfer money to Russia (where they probably have most employees) and western companies might not be comfortable using what is basically just Russian software with "Czech" sticker on it.
You speak like all of this happened a long time ago.

But Guantanamao is still open.

Assange is waiting for extradiction and a secret trial, under conditions the UN official called torture.

Snowden hiding from exposing illegal surveillance.

And Saudi Arabia still a formidable ally. Despite what they do in their own country or in places like Yemen (or in some embassies).

And the list goes on. (heard something about Turkey lately? I did, because I choosed to follow it a bit, but mainstream does not really care)

And russia is clearly not a real democracy, but despite all abuse and KGB shit, it is still way more democratic than saudi arabia (they have no voting at all, nor human rights)

"So, what's it going to be? More self-flagellation or, finally, some clear words on where we stand? "

So I can say in clear words, that I stand by any democratic country and any population fighting against occupying forces.

But I deeply distrust the motives of the western powers to actually care about democracy, but rather their stupid games of geopolitics.

So yes, I say we start cleaning our shit up. And then we can maybe start lecture other states and play world police.

Because the way I see it: western forces would love to help get russia their new afghanistan, with lots of losses, guerilla warfare and dragging it on for years. But this is not helping the people on the ground.

Putin is not cemented in power. He can get actually kicked out by elections.

Viewing videos hosted directly on YouTube servers where they share them openly and without restriction is hardly analogous to pirating video games.

But even so, YouTube videos are categorically different from video games in that merely by watching them once you consume their value. For video games one presumably may read reviews, play at a friend's house, etc before deciding to spend money on them.

Your Patreon counter-argument presupposes a conclusion though; that the creators deserve anything in the first place. For content I'm not willing to pay for, and which is offered to me for free, creators do not by default deserve any greater than $0!

It is up to them to convince folks to pay them for their content, and if they choose to host their content on YouTube they have made their own decision. Not all creators probably know that YouTube will offer their content for free without any advertisement-supported content, but that's their problem. There are video hosting options which do indeed require folks to pay for access, but YouTube is not that.

And as a side note, I'm a living counter-example to your $0 example, as I have myself donated to creators that published free content on YouTube in hopes that they will continue to produce it.
Good to hear that you're taking it into consideration from the start.

Even if device adheres to all regulations it would still be a concern to me as standards are mainly written around phone use (shorter intervals and from side of the head). Also, as you know, regulations vary greatly between countries so there's no consensus on what is safe.

Personally, when on conference calls, I use bluetooth or wired headphones to keep my phone away from my head. If I was to use device like that I would prefer for it to have radios separate but I understand the ergonomics (and cost benefits) of all in one unit.
>Russia is outclassed by NATO both economically and militarily.

Especially now, after NATO's quick and easy victory in Afghanistan it's clearly seen that Russia is far behind NATO militarily. Putin is just stupid and suicidal.
The term backyard implies a proprietary relationship, Ukraine isn't part of Russia's backyard and hasn't been for a long time now, and in the minds of the Ukrainians has never been part of Russia's backyard. The fact that the OP believes this to be so belies even the most basic insight into the reality for millions of people in former USSR countries who have in living memory what it means to be part of Russia's backyard and what the price to them would be if those days were to return.

Calling Siberia or Kamchatka Russia's backyard might be accurate. But just like Canada isn't America's backyard neither is Ukraine - or any other former USSR vassal state - Russia's backyard.

Neighbors is an entirely different term.

As for Europe-Russian disputes, there is such a thing as NATO, which was good enough to be relied on after 9/11, I take it that it is still in force? If not can you point me to the news that I apparently missed?
Stop driving a car, reduce your energy consumption by 50%.

Putin's tanks and planes are paid by exporting oil (and to a smaller degree natural gas) to the West.

When the abusive ex-husband tells you that dating his ex-wife is crossing his "red line", do you carefully consider his position? Or do you refuse to consider it, because that's none of his business?

I'd like to use this to write math textbooks. You start with it fully expanded and as the reader learns definitions and proves theorems it becomes simpler and simpler until eventually it's just a few sentences.

If you still don't understand it, you can expand parts back into more detailed arguments and revisit whatever topic you missed on the first pass.

If students don't understand something, they can manipulate its structure until only the part that the don't understand is exposed and then send a permalink to that view when asking for help.

> Expand outreach and assistance to software developers, media organization, tech companies and more to promote adoption of the F-Droid platform for their software, content and devices (example: Mozilla could easily run a Mozilla app store that includes all the Mozilla channels: releases, nightlies, etc. They could also include a curated collection of reproducibly built apps that Mozilla approves of. Someone who trusts Mozilla can then easily choose to only have access to the Mozilla-curated app store)

That would be fantastic!

That's basically the trial period. Nothing depends on drivers so they are pretty safe to try new things with and the hardware they are used for is limited so you can know you the hardware the driver is used for is supported by the Rust compiler. If we go a few years and its all good and the rust compiler supports everything linux targets, I can imagine more core parts becoming rust.
It's on everyone who can take actions to prevent it.
> the battle here is not to fight over who has the right to be on the 10% of the street we call the sidewalk

I'm not asking for 10% of the sidewalk for myself -- that's ~4.8 inches, which is much less of the space needed for a stroller, a person with a cane, or someone in a wheelchair.

I don't see any lobbying, let alone any actions from these companies that ensure that the quality of the lives of the people I mentioned isn't negatively impacted. What I do see is rent seeking and extraction of public value for there own profits.

Lobbying is great, but they aren't doing anything currently to actually curb their users from partaking in reducing the use of public space for those that can't simply 'walk around it and pray their lobbying works one day.'

> Like think of how more than 2/3 american adults are overweight. Why? Because they literally can't stop picking up food with their hands, putting it into their mouths, and chewing and swallowing it. All you have to do to not be fat is to instruct your fleshsuit to stop picking things up and placing them in your mouth. Calories cannot legally enter your body without your consent. And yet 2/3 adults are overweight. So I don't think education will do anything here.

Do you think the average American's willpower has radically plummeted since the 70s? And the rest of the developed world nosedived with them? It's gotta be calories-in/calories-out and discipline to a degree, but things have shifted so rapidly and decisively that it's worth entertaining environmental explanations.

Plus there's little harm in kicking this hypothesis around. A fat person who is otherwise unmotivated by traditional health advice might perk up once you appeal to his inner conspiracy theorist and tell him he's being fed industrial waste.

Simple things like validating incoming payloads are made ridiculously complex. You can get a library to do that, but which do you use? And then most of them don't export the typescript type signature so you don't get any type safety unless you re-define the type in typescript.

I strongly recommend Zod[0]. You write your schemas in code, it validates incoming JSON at runtime, and you end up with either an error or well typed code. The schemas themselves are powerful (you can check properties of strings, etc), and the derived typescript type comes out for free and looks like a human wrote it. A very powerful tool, with a very intuitive interface.

Sanctions targeting Russia’s space program
I'm glad you're safe.

To what extent do you feel that the sense of security there (disbelief this attack would happen) stemmed from the belief that Western interests would serve as an effective deterrent? Or do you attribute it to something else?

I'm ashamed that my government (Australia) has done so little in response. 10 days ago the government was touting how they'd offered online cybersecurity training for Ukraine. It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

There should have been far greater support with defenses in place to effectively mitigate the risk. Did the West seriously take Putin for his word that he would respect Ukraine's borders and is the best we have in response sanctions? On top of that, Biden said that personal sanctions against Putin are still on the table [1]. Not done already? Doesn't this effectively amount to a green light to the effect of "Yes we're pissed, but its ok, just don't do something really crazy and we won't punish you personally".

I'm really sorry you've had to leave your country. I don't suggest troops or NATO getting involved. I don't have an answer that is better, but I'm pointing out that the lack of planning is simply astonishing. It's tragic that the people of Ukraine are paying for that.

The question could also be: "will you enthusiastically want to rehire them 6 months after they are let go?". It seems fairly common for C-level execs to have a limited understanding of what people actually do.
But it's irrelevant trust. Stuff about signatures and specific practices. What makes F-Droid more secure are the kind of apps that are in it, that the apps are FOSS alone makes it less likely for spyware to be added to them. Sure it can still happen and then F-Droid's security practices become relevant. But each time you install an app, there is more trust you can give to an app in F-Droid, than the basically zero trust you can give to proprietary app in the play store.

The article is completely baffling in not really covering that. "strong security and privacy guarantees" mean jack shit when the game from the play store starts leaking all data it can grab or adds bank phishing - and it will have a bunch of permissions anyway, it legitimately needs them to function.
France was invaded because the liberals in France and UK refused to act against Hitler when he first invaded Poland and Austria, or when he and Mussolini supported Franco's coup d'etat in Spain in 1936, crushing a popular anarchist revolution and destroying any notion of hope across Europe for the decade to come.

France/UK argued that helping elected governments (or people's militias) against their invader could ignite war spreading throughout Europe, so they would rather not irritate these angry dictators. Where did this strategy get us? It's hard to imagine just how different Europe (and probably the rest of the world, for better or for worse) would be today if the western powers had intervened at that time.

It's also worth noting already at the time, social-liberal democracies from the USA to France were very unwelcoming of refugees from the nazi regime. Let's make sure to make them welcome no matter what our governments say, there's quite empty housing for everyone!

Is this surprising? He's a right wing guy - he doesn't like "the odious and utopian fantasies" of socialism, and his read of Stalin (and how Stalinism worked) is pretty standard.

It's actually a common understanding of what went so horribly wrong in the USSR: the party formed a sort of parallel administrative structure that basically undermined and supplanted all the actual laws and institutions of state.
Worth noting that this was published in 1997.

>The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.

>Russia needs to create "geopolitical shocks" within Turkey. These can be achieved by employing Kurds, Armenians and other minorities.

>Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.

>Finland should be absorbed into Russia. Southern Finland will be combined with the Republic of Karelia and northern Finland will be "donated to Murmansk Oblast".

>Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
> If information starts getting censored then people will jump to other platforms to share it.

I imagine these hypothetical "other platforms" (could you name one?) will be deemed as "that bad place that platforms <insert scary thing here>", omitted from search engine results/feeds, advertisers blasted on twitter/pull out, and payment systems cancelled, with direct sharing being the only real way to propagate the videos. We've clearly seen effective censorship like this over the last few years, with other unfavorable topics (right or wrong). I don't see how it's possible to consider the internet as some free place where unfavorable ideas can be exchanged, at a public/viral level.
