Blocking a bridge isn't violent. But it isn't peaceful protest either.

Overseeing international trade routes is one of a government's core responsibilities. Deploying its monopoly on violence is justified. Peaceful protest (including striking) doesn't shut down critical infrastructure.

If a government lets random hooligans repeatedly shut down large sections of the economy, it's an ineffective government. In the long run, ineffective governments get replaced by more effective (read: less democratic) ones. All that said, I do think the Canadian government went a bit far. Peacefully dispersing the protests would have been more than enough.
The road to failure is also paved with failures/rejections
The problem isn’t fiat currency it’s shitty government. If you have good government you wont have shitty fiat currency.

Crypto is better on government getting worse whilst simultaneously absolving yourself of the responsibility of doing anything about it.

It's more like: "Why not?"

From their POV. I mean if the "sloppy" approach works (in this specific case) roughly as good as whatever military specific alternate approach they have(1), then it makes sense to use that, to not disclose the capabilities of alternate approaches to their enemy (the US).

(1): That is assuming they have one, if not ... I would be both quite surprised and somehow not really surprised like both at once.
I'm not saying there are no use cases for a JS framework, and I have a few I like, just that the switch to rails api only/separate react app has in almost every case I've seen added tons of complexity without a clear win

My theory on Minecraft is that because it's java-based and ultra portable, most people have bought it lots of different platforms. I know that I have personally bought it on 7 different systems for myself and for my kids over the years.
... I guess?

The point is more just that you can't know the future, and any constraint like that should have limitations on it, with an upperbound of something like 99 years. That's more than enough time for your kids, grand kids, and even their kids to all enjoy playing baseball in the park, while not saddling your community with your specific vision of outdoor recreation for all time.

Like sure, the land donation was no doubt generous and appreciated, and the people involved would have foregone a potential payday had they sold it to a developer to be carved up instead. But on the flipside, it was probably also a big tax writeoff, and the city inherited the unbounded future cost of its maintenance, lost tax revenue, and so on.
Growthbook is awesome! We have used the self-hosted version a few months i my company now, and are very happy about it. Talented people behind it, and issues are resolved quickly.

Makes a lot of sense with an experimentation tool that just works on top of your existing customer data. This is the way to go for data tools in my opinion. Makes it so much easier to adopt. What we have done, is just exposing views on top of our regular click-stream data. With this approach, we can focus on having one data source of high quality, in stead of scattering data around to multiple third party tools. And we don't have to deal with lot's of data processing agreements and so on. I hope more and more data tools moves in this direction. Sending data to a third party is starting to become old school :)
Thank you, it's a start!
In Europe you can't have rules about salary taxes and maximum spend because football (soccer) is a truly international game and other countries don't agree.

Also the TV money split is very inequitable in Spain with Real Madrid and Barca getting ~50% of the leagues TV money where as in England the TV money split is much more equitable. Baseball also doesn't have a Champion's League so that's no issue.

With baseball you could have a fairly equitable split on TV money and a salary tax at a certain point so you would still get different teams winning over time.

I'm software dev/team lead that enjoys working in collaborative cultures. I like companies with a strong developer education culture, or would like someone to come in and help build one. I love to learn more about software, and pass on what I can via tech talks, internal blog posts, book clubs, etc. I don't have much experience with frontend, but am willing to learn, so I'm open to fullstack roles. I'd also be interested into moving into data engineering.
> Paying that cofounder more based on their stage in life is a requisite to acquiring that experience.

The primary compensation for a founder position is the equity stake. A co-founder would get substantial equity (20% or more). For perspective, consider that future investors will be pouring millions of dollars into the company in exchange for a similarly sized equity stake.

You need to remember that as a co-founder, they're deciding what to pay themselves. The higher the base compensation, the less runway they have and the fewer employees they can hire.

If someone is demanding a $450K/year base compensation as a co-founder, they're not looking at this as a true co-founder role. A co-founder would want to focus on equity and take something like $150K/year so the company could hire 1-2 additional engineers with the other $300K/year.

If this sounds weird or unfair, then you're probably not a good fit for a co-founder role. And that's fine! For most people, taking the $450K-$600K big tech is the better choice. Not everyone is cut out for the risk-taking of a co-founder role.
Absolutely awful take. Basically every interview will have some section asking about styling.

Indeed, after being founded 37 years ago, servers are hardly impacted by ARM, and Macs are meaningless for 80% of the desktop world, which by the way are still Intel in what concerns the Mac Pro workstation.

So cheerleading for RISC-V to overtake in a couple of years what took ARM 37 years to achieve, is really flying high.
I hope they understand that that's not so much of a threat to wikipedia, but a threat to themselves (IE, they are poking out their own eye to spite wikipedia)
I would frame it as <insert entities who want to obfuscate prices> are not in a rush to enable the market to allocate resources more efficiently per supply and demand. Because the more efficient a market gets, the less profit (the inefficiency) there is to be had.
> Sea freight is by far the most carbon efficient means of transporting goods.

My idea is that we shouldn't see "transporting goods" over half of the world and in so great quantities for granted, not "transporting goods" over half of the world in so great quantities is a valid option if we really want to fight climate change. I mean, I can understand transporting basic food (wheat, rice) over water on great distances, of course, but I fail to see why we do this [1] while at the same time we keep lying to ourselves that fighting climate change is just one recycling away.

Wait, they are using Google Maps not just as an alternative to state-maintaned maps, they use it for communication?
The beginning was promising. I expected something for non-vim users. As a heavy VS user, I tried some Linux IDEs like KDevelop and Code::Blocks and, AFAIR, they integrated with GDB to resemble VS debugging process. For me personally, just pressing F5 (a hew hundreds of times a day) is a bit less cumbersome than running dgb program, start, etc. )
For many “positions” in tech, job descriptions are merely useful fictions. Except my first job, I didn’t stick with the elements of my job description beyond a month or two. This is especially true for my current FAANG job.

This is even more true with early startups. You need pseudo-founders that are willing and capable to do whatever.

There is now. You can get 10-30% of the settlement the company makes with the government. If anyone reading this has any information about their company making bribes to foreign governments and does not particularly care about their company then they should contact a lawyer who specializes in corporate whistleblowing and begin the process of collecting their settlement bucks.

Some units have also been communicating in the clear on civilian bands. There seems to be a severe shortage of military electronics on the Russian side.

Or, just purely from a UX standpoint, you can use a military receiver with an interface like this https://media.sciencephoto.com/image/c0083836/800wm and then look up the coordinates by hand on a twenty year old paper map. Or you can drop a pin on gmaps and text it to Sergey at the artillery battery. If you don't care about opsec, which is easier?

> I went looking for solutions and found some interesting options - but most of them required me to give up my bank and brokerage login data. For me this was a non-starter. I was just not comfortable entrusting a company with that sensitive information no matter how well intentioned they were.

Your app is on a kind of privacy/security middle ground because the portfolio data seems to not be client-side encrypted, which is something privacy conscious users look for.

At the same time I understand data entry is manual?

If I'm going to go through this trouble I would rather have the whole privacy package keep my consolidated portfolio information to myself (which I know is valuable, actionable information. There's a reason most portfolio apps are free without ads).

Overall, I think your landing page doesn't sell your product really well. There are already many portfolio apps. If the big advantage of your app is the breadth of the investment types it support, this should be emphasized more.
AWS is moving big into ARM, and macs are just the first consumer computers to move - not the last. The story isn't over yet.

> so cheerleading for RISC-V to overtake in a couple of years what took ARM 37 years to achieve, is really flying high.

Oh yea i agree it won't be a few years. It'll be many years - but it'll move faster than ARM did just because its so much easier to do today than 37 years ago.
Doing business with someone implicitly supports them. There is no way around that.

As an infrastructure provider, it makes it tough because pulling out of a country is going to harm normal folks at least as much, if not more, than whoever is in charge you are refusing to do business with.

But that doesn’t mean providing critical infrastructure services to literal terrorists is ok.
I don't think the parent comment was suggesting we have an obligation to care about ARM's survival.

But ARM probably cares about ARM's survival so it is relevant to the discussion about what future decisions ARM might make.

Ask HN: P2P Databases?
I had an idea for a project that would be best served by publishing a database that all the clients would sync locally and query against directly.

I've looked around a bit and I've found BigchainDB, however it's a quite heavy load. I want to update the authoritative database and have it generate deltas that are synced to the clients via a p2p like network, rather then having anything 'mined'.

Is anyone aware of anything existing that would be of use?
For context, I own a Huawei Matebook D and multiple "smart" devices by Apple and Samsung.

I'm hesitant to buy a Huawei device because of issues with support and build quality. My Matebook D is down at the moment due to an issue with the USB-C port, which also supplies power. I've owned many devices at this point that use USB-C, and the Huawei is the only one that has ever failed for this reason. To be fair I can't 100% lay the blame on "poor build quality", as my kids were the primary users and my youngest is hell on cables.

What I can say is that getting parts or support for it seems basically impossible. Understanding that that's because of the US government doesn't make it better. I'm hoping I'll be able to reflow the jack on the motherboard and get it to work again, but if not, I'll end up having to source a pulled motherboard from eBay - there's no other way for me to get parts, and as far as I can tell, no way for me to send it to the manufacturer for repair, even on my dime.

Between Apple, Samsung, and Google...

My experience with Samsung devices tells me that longevity isn't their strong suit. I'll never buy another Samsung TV again, and am very unlikely to buy another Samsung appliance. I might be willing to buy a phone or laptop, but only if there is adequate insurance or a service plan included in the price.

I don't trust Google. I try to keep as much of my data out of their hands as possible. I know that's a losing proposition - both because it may actually be impossible and because I'm not willing or able to completely cut Google services out of my life. I _really_ don't want an Android device if I can help it.

I don't exactly trust Apple, either, but at least it seems like they have a slightly more conservative corporate policy when it comes to sharing the data they've collected on my identity and usage. They're known to push back against "mass" warrants, and I've not seen anything that would lead me to believe that they have or plan to sell those data to a third party. They collect it, archive it, and use it for their own purposes, though. I wouldn't call that "good", but it's better than the alternatives.
Why would they do that, what's the point beyond confusion? The whole thing is bad

I'm curious if anyone could comment on the degree to which Servo's complexity is now answered by improvements in Rust in the interim. I know a lot of complexity in my work comes down to want of features. On this project in particular we have a whole bunch of business logic due entirely to deficiencies in our CI/CD pipeline. It's very much an 'Art of the Possible' situation and I get annoyed having to apologize about it to people. Yes, that would be a better way to do it, but we can't make that work around the bad assumptions made elsewhere.

I'd say the lack of need of a particular interpreter makes this a lot more portable and usable.

A tool written in Python or Ruby will always be most usable by Python or Ruby developers. A tool written in Go and compiled to a single binary has no such barrier to entry.
I went through this process just the other day, setting up Postfix on a Zerotier network. Postfix lets you specify a "mynetworks" config option that lets you allow certain IP ranges. I added the Zerotier IPv6 assigned ranges to this list, disabled any form of TLS on the smtpd end, and was able to effectively turn off TLS. It was more annoying than I thought it would be but it makes sense given how few real world deployments lack TLS these days.
It's also really bad for SEO. At least in theory, a search crawler cannot follow that link to discover the target. In practice, they may actually try to parse this pattern, as they know the web is a mess.
