There seems to be a pretty tight link between the CDU/CSU and the Uni Bayreuth lawschool though.

There's also the fact that there are a lot of Law professors in Germany that are famous for taking advantage of girls during their studies, because if you don't get a good grade in the law system you're effectively out and because they have lifetime tenure they have nothing to fear.

But I do agree that on the grand scheme of themes Germany is WAY better than the other countries, especially considering the fact that they actually have a lot more parties in their parliament and sometimes actually have diverse opinions on things.

I think you’d enjoy reading Selfie by William Storr. It talks a lot about the left brain observer and various experiments that have observed what you’re talking about.
I think you must have replied to the wrong person.
I think you fail to understand that Putin is pretty much the continuum of old Soviet Union. Is it still a militaty dictatorship like USSR are.

Where i live there are many Russians and many of them says that to govern a country as large requires a dictator.
Do you have any good resources on how to use jlink/ jpackage with Clojure? Do you somehow embed it in a Uberjar or is the Uberjar part of the package besides the JRE?
I get the need to have uninterrupted time, but if others are depending on you to get their job done, it's kinda dickish to complain about people being "allowed to disturb you".
Proof of work does not replace labour though. There is not really an equivalent outlay in tradtional banking. And blockchains don't provide the services that the labor provides in the banking sector.

This is just more nonsense.
you confuses theology/doctrine and discipline.
doctrine does not change. theology expresses doctrine as much as human can. theology changes in expression as human develops in (supernatural and natural) knowledge and understanding.
discipline (where more fasting rules and outward signs people notice belong to) changes with society and also in connection with the secular world, and also people-to-people.
Eastern churches keeps the lent not only on Fridays but also on Wednesdays, while Westerns not. are there theology disagreements? not at all.

it's like saying "look how funny computer system design principles are because it's implemented in dozens of different instances to suit users needs"
Hey Edwin,

I appreciate your help in the past getting our business unblacklisted from Stripe in the past.

Stripe seems to be trying to move up the value chain, but problems like this tax calculation issue and the fear of Stripe deciding to brick the accounts of businesses keeps other businesses and worker owned co-ops in the industry I work in from considering Stripe.

Does Stripe plan to review and unban accounts of businesses that were solely banned for being in formerly undesirable or blacklisted categories?

Additionally, emails like the one below do spook me:
Our data shows that 72% of your transactions in the past six months were recurring and you are not currently automating recurring payments. Stripe Billing can make it easier and faster for your customers to pay you on a recurring basis.

We use an off the shelf open source invoicing system to connect to Stripe, First Data, our local tax authority and the rest of our infrastructure, which is already automating the recurring billings for our clients without Stripe Billing.

I'm unclear what value Stripe has to add here besides putting all our eggs in one basket (risking potential lockout again), and these types of emails make it clear that Stripe is mining the subset of data you get from us and our clients, though the fact that we're reusing payment tokens via API was missed entirely in this marketing email...
There is tremendous capital expense in medical care. Extremely highly educated and well trained doctors do not materialize out of thin air. The mechanisms of human bodies is extremely complex, and requires ever more capital as society’s expectations of “healthcare” continue to march upward.

1950s level of healthcare is cheap. 2022 level of medicine, machinery, the R&D to be able to see inside of a body, the thousands of hours of training to read and understand statistics, measurements, and imaging, etc is incalculable.

All sprinkled with a heavy dose of financial liability for all parties involved.

There are similar arguments to be made for childcare and education.

What if people don't want this tech pseudo-utopia? I understand where you're coming from and definitely agree that commuting is a problem but... we're already on the verge of a population crisis in developed nations, loneliness and alienation are at all time highs. I really really don't think that remote work is the utopia you imagine it to be. It's going to lead to more people who never leave their home or apartment, and maybe go days without interacting with people face to face.
You need some sort of (super basic) landing page or just an easily-sharable image that shows your point of contact and your offer. Then it may only be a matter of getting that distributed to a handful of people who can take care of this being redirected to the right people. Twitter is an easy place to approach and find someone. Have a look at Facebook Groups to see if it's appropriate to post an image there. If it's a genuine and worthwhile offer, then devs (and people in general) from the Ukraine (there or currently elsewhere) will be happy to pass the message onwards. Especially if it's easy to share (like an image on WhatsApp or Signal). Hope that helps!

The point is that no one apart from brahmins amongst my colleagues and friends bring up their caste. And absolutely no one asks fhem about their caste. In my managers case he brought up his own skin color in the presence of several reports and segued into his caste.

And I have not asked anyone to change their name. All I did was refute the fake allegation against the Indian Christians patting the back of brahmins to figure out their caste. For anyone coming from India this is a hilariously absurd lie.
So would you say it is just like how the jewish barbarians are taking land in the middle East, or the black barbarians are shooting and robbing each other for personal gain in cities in the USA?
Remote works has it's pros and cons. I love being able to be with family, no commute, a fully stocked kitchen with things I prefer to eat and the ability to take a nap when needed. The con for me is that I feel lonely throughout the day sometimes. The loneliness is great when I need to hit a flow state but other times it can be a bit sad.
Because the majority of developers will gravitate towards tools that will give them the best employment opportunity, not necessarily the best tools for the job.

WHat would you do, if you had (small) kids, murder them?
Really? Because I don't think so since I mostly see people with a falsely treated savior complex. Harsh judgement, but they also justify racism and if it comes down to it we need to be honest.
There's also a new Gas pipeline deal with China.

Although when there is no other trading partner but China left, I bet China's conditions on the deal beats Germany's wildest dreams.

The biggest winner out of this diplomacy mess of the last decades seems to be China. Just like with the 10 year lease China got in Afghanistan from the Taliban.
not really, but it makes us hypocrites
Python is definitely simpler to start with but it doesn't expose the beginners to some concepts directly - interfaces are implicit because of duck typing (unless you use the ABC module), everything is public (underscores are just a convention), there is no method overloading etc.

I think it might be more valuable to expose beginners to static typing because it's much easier to transition from "objects have distinct types" to "pretty much everything is just a hashmap" than the other way around.

The thing about C as a first language is that you need to not only learn what programming is but you also need to learn manual memory management which raises the bar significantly and it's pretty easy to write code that fails for reasons which are difficult for a beginner to figure out (like segfaults).
Color, the scent of a flower, music, a delicious meal, beauty, struggle, love, meaning, free will. These things only exist in your mind. If objective reality exists at all, it is of vanishingly small importance.
That state lives on the context of the page. That's the point of having a URL/page lifecycle that reloads the context.

If you need to persist past a reload then a few lines can save to localstorage. Anything more requires server-side calls anyway.

This magical state that can only be managed on the client-side with a heavy SPA is a myth for 99.9% of sites.

Maybe the story is not finished yet. New approaches like JetBrain's Compose (https://www.jetbrains.com/de-de/lp/compose-mpp/) with a React inspired programming model might bring some new interest to the platform. Then there is a Java binding library for Skia (https://github.com/JetBrains/skija), and JavaFX is also alive and high quality.

As everyone is used to fat Electron apps now, Java applications (especially compiled and packed with new JDK features) might be refreshing.
What I don't understand is that, at least on the surface, companies save money (utilities, rent, etc.) by having employees work from home.

So it seems to me that the only reason companies like Google would mandate the return to offices is because they see a greater cost in having employees work from home. Are they afraid of the cost of lost happenstance collaboration being so high and not trusting in technology (some of which Google built) to bridge that gap, or are they worried that their employees are slacking off?

Personally, slacking off when working from home would not be unimaginable, but more often than not, I may work longer hours from home as I won't have the commute burden or feeling that it's time to finally leave the office, so it's actually easier to get carried away. Admittedly that has other mental health implications, but not ones I would imagine most companies considering the cost of.
This is a good counterargument only if you believe Tim Sweeney will outlive Epic Games. I don't think he will, and I have no reason to believe that Tim's successor will have his mindset or his values.
There is still plenty of interesting and relevant ml research available to people who don't have access to CERN-sized compute clusters, just like there is still plenty of interesting and relevant research for physicists outside of CERN.
But strangely, better metrics for artist compensation somehow don't lead to better artist compensation. I've never heard a testimonial from a band about how much better the spotify compensation model is, but I've heard dozens of testimonials and articles about artists to whom spotify pays pennies while bandcamp pays their bills.
A little off topic -> I was reading the comments about learning to code through Java.
A lot of people are against C/C++ and majority of schools uses Java/Python nowdays.

Ofc the language at the end doesn't really matters, but I am conviced ( mostly because I only embrace MY learning experience ) that using a language like C helps you get into the programming mindset better.

I mean, you don't need to understand what a smart pointer is, but once you seen that the object you have created in your own implementation of a vector got copied over and over, you will think twice every time you write a function with a return statement in every language for the rest of your life.
I stopped using Stripe the day i had to pay for the chargebacks, fuck that, paypal is bad, but at least it's not that bad
> "I thought programming was all Java!"

If students get this preconception, I think it's more an issue how they are taught, not an issue with Java itself. I mean the first language I learned and most of my classes were in Java, but that didn't prevent me from knowing there other existing languages and learning about them.
I was always hoping that Russia would grow closer to EU. That way we would really have a strong union to cope with China, and compete with US.

I'm pretty confident that when Russia would be a real democracy, it would have grown closer to EU. I know some Russians (the same as I know some Ukrainians), and I'm sure they would prefer our countries doing more collaboration.

But now we are all stuck with this KGB-er that still thinks he's living in Soviet days.

It's become very clear by now that the west shouldn't do business with non-democratic countries. We made the mistake with Russia and with China, and our money only makes them stronger. It doesn't push them towards democracy at all.
It's a fair comment, and I used to have prices on the website and then actual customers, while they were on their way to becoming customers, told us to take the prices offline.
Their procurement teams really didn't like prices on the website.
Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't.
The trial is completely free, we don't ask for a credit card, only when you decide to want to become a customer, you can actually see the self service prices in your ARGOS dashboard.
Those prices are also available via the Azure/AWS marketplaces.
As someone who recognizes what's best for me may not be best for others, I will comfortably acknowledge some companies should do full RTO while others remain hybrid. If you do a four-square of RTO-or-Hybrid/Remote vs Success-or-Unsuccessful you likely won't reach some magical, simplistic conclusion like "(co)locating results in a (more/less) success". The real world is more varied than that. Enough companies will employ either strategy for workers to have their pick. But we shouldn't take a moral or capitalist ground for suggesting one style is superior. As technologists, we have to be remain sensible enough to recognize the multivariate nature of success.
Funny that the Italian site is having trouble loading. The Italians are masters of design and attention to detail, yet are infamous for unreliable machinery. The tax website embodies the Italian essence right into the digital age.

Not sure how software is going to always find "...credit card fraud, internal theft, mis-priced items, mistakes....".

I don't care how good AI in finding tumors in x-rays is, I still want a set of skilled eyes to confirm findings.

It's the same reason I double check all my paychecks to make sure I'm paid the right amount and the deductions are correct. All of it's automated on the backend, but it's still my money and worth double-checking.
The NATO and the EU didn't keep expanding, the Eastern European countries asked to join. They wanted protection from potential Russian aggression (in retrospect it is obvious how right they were), they wanted prosperity for their citizens.

None of these countries were any threat to Russia. The whole Putin narrative that the West is at fault for this war by encroaching on a Russian sphere of influence is just incoherent bullshit.

I also reject your 'both sides' argument. At least from a German perspective I know that European didn't do things 'against' Russia for the last 15 years that weren't clearly as a response to Russian wrong-doing (East Ukraine, Crimean, Syria). Heck, just one month ago Germany wanted to open another Gas pipeline with Russia.

If you check his comment history he has been trying to pin caste discrimination on the tiny Indian Christian community - 1% of the population. Indian right wing is focused on promoting Hindu exceptionalism.

As my comments go against the Hindu exceptionalism narrative, he is trying to discredit my comments in whichever way possible.
"bombed indiscriminately" that is hyperbole, indiscriminate bombing is not taking place or there would not be a city anymore (not that I don't deplore any loss of civilian life)
> It is absolutely an aspirational thing of people made to believe they _need_ that space or that they will 'look poor' without the square footage.

It really is nicer to have more space. A lot nicer. If Europeans could afford it they would do it too. They are also buying a lot more SUVs than they used to.
Absolutely agree. As much as we should have stopped Putin a long time ago, we must stop destroying the world with our climate excesses. Unfortunately it is not only the USA who is to blame, but we all need to pull our weight.

Ask HN: Which companies are hiring in-person teams?
Comparing my pre-pandemic (in-person) and current remote working situations, I believe that I would be more productive and creative if I meet regularly in person with my coworkers. Doesn't have to be 5 days a week - in fact, a mix of remote and in-person enable important, focused work. Though remote seems to work well for a lot of people, I can't help but miss in-person interactions and the spark that they bring.

I'm looking at positions at startups and wish there was a filter for (current or eventual) in-person collaboration. I suspect that this may be the case for others who are on the hunt, so I hope that this thread can be generally helpful.

Which companies are hiring specifically for in-person roles? How many days a week are in person? (SF Bay Area roles would be particularly appreciated!)

Absolutely nothing makes it okay. I think the assertion is that if the USA looked inward and led more by example then that would make the world a better place. Leading by example is always best.

Just these last recent Olympics the Russians couldn't compete under their own flag as punishment for various serious transgressions. But the greatest scandal in the history of Olympic sports by a mile is the American Nassar child abuse scandal. Were we Americans punished and banned from having our flag flown at the Olympics? So maybe next time we don't look the other way on decades of abuse? Nah, Michigan and it's insurers are on the hook for a up to a cool billion and life moves on for us none the wiser.

Edit: we have to show people (non-westerners) there is a better way and not assume it is self-evident! If they are exposed constantly to propaganda on [true] western hypocrisies it makes it so much more difficult for them to believe that the west's liberal order, though imperfect, is not as rotten as the alternatives. So that's why I advocate for Americans to look inward
I'm not particularly concerned about this tbh. What I mean is that ML is highly relevant with less resources as well, and the fact the only a handful companies or research groups have the financial power to push the state of the art isn't really a problem.
I moved to the US a few weeks ago after living in a few European countries, and I'm still shocked by seeing abject poverty right next to mindboggling wealth in a developed country. I see multimillion dollar houses literally two streets away from homeless tent camps. Even with a fat +200k big tech salary I feel less middle class that I did in Europe. Makes me wonder how less privilege people manage.
What part of these profits comes from work actually done remotely during the pandemic ? What you are proving is that the Google model of hiring extremely talented devs, paying them handsomely, and asking them to spend days in their campus allowed them to create a company that takes in billion of profits even during a pandemic.

Which part of the Google offer significantly changed thanks to work done during the pandemic ? All these profits come from something that was built - in person - in pre pandemic work organisation, so we know that this was was successful.
The only big thing that I can think of on Google side that was supposed to take off during the pandemic is Stadia. I own one, and it's an understatement to say that it did not deliver on its promises. It is not the first Google product that fails, and it is hard to say if the failure is due to remote work, but still something to consider.

Sounds a bit unhealthy to pay attention to him from over there? Especially since he was lying - illegal immigration to the US stopped around 2007 and has been negative since. This doesn’t stop people from complaining about it, most people’s political options are 5-10 years behind reality.

I worked a short while on a Esta -- not allowed really but the tax office didn't complain -- in SF making more money as a new grad (6k USD/month + housing) than I will ever make where I live.

Later I realized I was acctually wage dumping ...

Make no mistake what would happen if there was a free flow of programmers to the US. "We" will undercut the locals.
You think taxes don't exist in other systems?

Capitalism is the opposite of slavery, you control who you sell to, work for, buy from.

But I do agree property tax is theft. Less taxes, smaller government, more capitalism.
Teaching Java in abstract, useless lessons about OOP and inheritance is definitely bad.

But I would say Java is as good a first language as python is.

The purpose of first programming language is teaching concepts - functions, structs / classes, abstraction, data structures (importantly lists and maps); And how to solve problems using that.

Python does well in intuitive syntax for lists/maps, handy standard library functions, and having an REPL; But it gives an illusion that types are redundant. The programmer picking up C++ or Java after python sees only ceremony.

You can also learn the modern java without all the OOP shoved in: Basic programs, functions, data types, arrays, using classes to create custom types, using HashMap, ArrayList, HashSet from standard library; then interfaces, inheritance / subtyping, lambda functions. Use jshell to try small snippets;

The problem with teachers teaching java is that they focus too much on inheritance, with mostly superficial examples like "dog extends animal" instead of something in real world. Inheritance is mostly about subtyping, and any CS student with enough math background should not struggle to understand that.
Not only Java, there are a pool of similar ignored technology all the way back to late 1950's.

There are plenty of WebAssembly articles selling it as being the first kind of bytecode to support C like languages.
