Maybe Yale students should be forced to attend "Protesting 101" their first week on campus. It's embarrassing that most of the students in this gathering seemed unaware of where their own free speech rights end (they seemed surprised that there were restrictions on where they could protest on Yale property). If people are this clueless, it's easy to get swept up into an angry mob. But maybe some learned a valuable lesson from this?
This is the kind of question that will still be debatable 100 years from now :)

It's similar to the hard currency question that sprung up as we (all countries really) detached from gold. It's still not really settled, cryptocurrency being the latest reincarnation.
All money flows to the top 1%rs.

Thats why giving money to the poorest people works.

Its called the trickle up effect..

as opposed to the now debunked trickle down effect, which was a invented theory of the 1%rs in an effort to speed up the trickle up effect to their own advantage.
If it is something I used recently, I use ctrl+R or up arrow, but if it’s not there anymore, I just retype. It’s not so bad for me.
My initial thoughts as well.. have been playing with development inside containers, and this just makes me sure I need to do it much more. Also, pushing for read-only containers in production for most things, along with running as a non-privileged user.
Perf is a great tool. I'm still amazed at the way it can trace the execution of a program right through the kernel layer to show where the process is really spending (wasting) its time.
Putin has been bombing in the West, but there's no Russian troop presence anywhere nearby and he wouldn't dare bomb near an actual deployment of foreign troops.

Slightly related is https://cheat.sh/ [0], which returns real-world examples of how to use a given command.

The results are nicely formatted and color-coded. Give it a try in your terminal:

curl https://cheat.sh/rsync

I've found it to be really handy for things like awk, rsync, ssh, and others with byzantine parameters. Not to mention it's free.

Actually,

While never a transit activist, I would be in favor of dense, walkable cities regardless of work-from-home. I think these are more healthy in a multitude of ways.

If people can live in low population density areas while eliminating 90% of the miles driven per year, that's considered a bad thing because it doesn't support the urban vision they have that can only work if alternatives aren't allowed to exist.

Can you really eliminate 90% of miles driven by doing work-from-home in an entirely car oriented place? I live in small city surrounded by rural areas. Plenty of people have to drive five mile or more to get to anything. If someone did out once every ten days, it would unhealthy in other ways even if it conserved fuel, imo.

The puppet government and fighting in the east were also because of Russia. You're just arguing that this war started in 2014 or earlier, and I agree with you.
Thanks for your perspective here. Surprised at the pushback as well, on HN of all places.
Switzerland was above all stable. Perhaps one of the most stable countries on earth. The appeal was that stability paired with its murky banking.
UK employer national insurance is cheap compared to US health insurance. 1) sounds right.
I guess that is fair, or arguably fair. What would be a better name for it? "Free software" is similarly loaded ("free software is like free beer, software you don't pay for", "open source is like open house, you can get in the source"). Maybe "libre software"? "Permissive software"? The full "FOSS" or "FLOSS" acronyms?

Should we stick to specific license names e.g. "GPL software" or "MIT software"? That's probably the safest as those usually include an actually recognized trademark.
Firefox uses a custom format for compressing the SEARCH ENGINES. I am appalled.

I had to do a `pip install lz4` then apply and run this change: https://gist.github.com/Tblue/62ff47bef7f894e92ed5?permalink...

And it did not work. I hit a brick wall. I completely lost trust in Firefox. I want a browser created by a non-profit. Thank you Google for corrupting everything you touch.

Ask HN: Got fired from one of my 2 jobs
I know most might think I should let it go or man up of some sort but lost currently one of my two jobs as a software dev. I am only 22 and the other job is pretty well paying so I am not in a bad financial situation, this is just an ego/confidence hit to me as in it really hurts deep inside to get fired and makes me think if software dev (especially in startups) is what I should be doing? The fact of telling my SO/family about it even makes me shake, even though its really no big deal. I always have this pressure of being best at what I do.
My sincere hope is that the Ukraine war might actually lead to changes such that people (both foreigners and domestic) won't be able to hide or park money in real estate. I'm not hopeful that this will happen but I can but hope.

In the UK in particular the government is beholden to the bankers in the City of London and they want no such crackdown.

It's already the case where when you buy real estate in the UK with an LLC (which should be illegal IMHO) you need to declare who the beneficial owner is with the company registered with Companies House. This is routinely not done and there is absolutely no enforcement. That would be a start but it doesn't go near far enough.

Another example: all US citizens and permanent residents have to declare all their foreign assets to the government every year, typically twice: once to the IRS, another time to the Treasury Department. These forms are known as Form 8939 and FBAR respectively.

Guess what you don't have to declare? Real estate holdings. Why is there a carve-out for real estate? It's disgusting.

We have a housing crisis in the West. It's a complex problem but there are a number of factors:

1. NIMBYism stopping building of denser living;

2. Tax advantages and policies that make it more profitable to build ultra-luxury housing; and

3. The ease to which the wealthy can park their money in such real estate, which creates a lot of demand.

I would like to see this all go much farther. If you own real estate in a given jurisdiction you should be a resident for tax purposes in that jurisdiction. That should allow the government to tax your worldwide income. Want the anonymity of ownership through an LLC? Without a clear beneficial owner established then just punitively tax such property. Anonymity is a privilege you should pay through the nose for.

I'd accept a carve-out for owning "working" property, which is to say an apartment building where the units are rented out. But individual residential property? Get the hell out.

And any property where no beneficial owner can be established (and thus taxed) should just be seized. We seem totally fine with seizing the assets of poor people (ie civil forfeiture). Let's apply that to wealthy tax evaders, oligarchs and despots instead.
The Daily Mail is considered and described by many using much more colorful language than simply "unreliable". Especially in the UK.

That said, is the Daily Mail article factually wrong? How many purchasers of iphones end up buying a new charger and power cable?
Was told by local sherrif who handled judgment related asset seizures as well as foreclosure sales that in our state the original owner can do as they wish, even after a court ordered foreclosure sale, until they day they are required/made to vacate. He had seen all kinds of wanton destruction by the outgoing former owners simply out of spite with repair bills likely in the 10s of thousands, if not more.
> Define the border between SEO and abuse.

Perhaps there is no border to be defined since nearly all SEO is abuse?!

The only acceptable SEO should be "provide website content that is more relevant/interesting for the viewer".
I’m curious about how you do it. Could you share your process?

(I’m currently looking, so knowing about concrete examples might help me)
Cool. I’ve not come across this before. I currently use the app “Timing” [0] on Mac which is similar (and pretty good).

The downside with both of these though is no local sync across multiple Macs, which is a killer feature for my use case. Timing offers sync but it’s cloud-based (no E2E) which rules out using it for me. For now I just have separate sets of tracking data on a couple of Macs…

I may give Qbserve a closer look though.

These attacks, regardless of how ethical, are shortsighted. Imagine a situation in the future where Russians revolt and take their govt for the people, a Democratic govt is successfully established, peace is realized, etc. This future Russia is still fucked because they can't trust any code. The internet will be littered with virus landmines that target them based on their ancestors affiliations. You've literally created the toxic racist/nationalist internet you thought you were protesting.
nothing like lobbyists donating large sums of money to political candidates on behalf of the elite, hey! it's legal!.
To continue the (potentially flawed) analogy with water, you could illustrate and chart the results of these flows for both liquid assets and illiquid assets (unrealized stock, for example).

That is true but weird in itself. Much harder to raise large amounts of capital from European sources. Means we end up with European companies funded by American VC.

>But that message was a rally-the-troops kind of thing

I disagree. Statements like this "“We face genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year” sent of a holiday demonstrate a level on strangeness that really worries people launching very expensive space hardware.

It is hard to understand what he will say / do next and the gulf between what he says and what he does seems to be growing over the past year.
You're very stubborn with telling me what my position and my own arguments are. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you're not just looking for people to rile up, but rather have the bad habit of leaping ahead and making other people's arguments and stances up on your own to better fit your desired counterpoint, so I'll clarify: I am certainly not against new development or progress, and I don't think that it's pointless to put an effort into AV1 or VP9. As I wrote elsewhere in this discussion, I just don't see this taking off until there's hardware decoding available, which I fully expect there to be. I'm merely underlining that the MPEG family is the state of the art.

It can indeed be a sensible business strategy, but it will much less likely lead to remarkable innovations.

I think the idea is to transit your money through there to launder it. part of a internation shell company game. sure the money coming from businesses and companies there look shady but not enough to cause anyone to investigate it as enough powerful and politically connected people from multiple countries would not like it to be looked at.

If money can't be explained it should be seized. The properties should be nationalised and then sold on auctions. Money should be used to rebuild Ukraine and legal assistance to get war criminals tried.
Living on a different continent, I'm relatively unfamiliar with the details, but with the information I have, I do support Catalan independence.

The Spanish police reaction detailed in your linked article tells us much and gives reason in itself to support it.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/news/2022/03/1...

My suggestion is to copy that design and manufacturer tens or hundreds of thousands of those Switchblade drones. Then distribute them to all military units across Ukraine. And train everyone on how to use them.

What probably had happened is they are priced arbitrarily high because of greed and pork, but discounted in terms of value by older commanders who dislike new things. So taking something that could be a trump card if widely and rapidly deployed and neutralizing it due to stupidity and greed.

There is a window here where these are not widely deployed by the enemy. That window could close in months as the enemy sees how effective they are and recruits help from China (where they are very expert at building drones).

And that's why I live in Rugby.

Large 5 bed detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac, good sized garden, ample parking on the driveway for 4 cars if needed, and well under £1m.

"...the truth is that speculation in real estate and vacation towns have both been a thing for a very long time."

Eh, in the US, it was limited by the Glass-Steagal protections enacted after the speculators ruined the world economy almost 100 years ago.

I have found I am more productive from home and I can do things like laundry. It's far from perfect but overall I have found it to be a win.

I think my ideal would be wfh 4 days, office 1 day. But I totally understand companies not wanting to maintain a building that is only used 1/5th of the time.

Odd, because when I was the effective head of web for a university, they weren't concerned with accessibility in the slightest (This extended into the physical realm, wheelchair users complained constantly). What they wanted to do was deliver pictures, pretty pictures, and lots of them, and have effects. I couldn't get anyone to spare the time on it. I had my own tricks (lynx, glasses in weird prescriptions, dark sunglasses, odd mouse settings) to simulate various issues, but ... they ain't got time for that!

Finally, I found an argument that worked. Just as pointing out that many accommodations help out those who are not disabled, well ... disability-friendly sites naturally lend themselves to better rankings on search engines.

Sadly, that was the only argument that carried any weight.
Most of the good software devs I know actually only have one job, so sounds like you're back to the baseline. But who knows, keep applying and maybe you can push 4/5+ jobs at once, which would obviously mean you're 4/5 times better than most software devs. Good luck.
Wonder if radiant floor heating would be a good solution. Adding a warm air blower near the front to counteract cold air intrusion from opening and closing the door could help keep the interior of the bus a nice constant temperature.
I don't, at least not in the sense that most people think of.

Our science does not understand consciousness yet. It may yet prove to be a mistake to think that those obliterated by nuclear weapons suffer the same thing that victims of conventional attacks do.

Read "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes. Do not skip the chapter containing the testimony of Japanese children the survived the attack. If you skip that, you will not learn what you need from it. It is agonizing.

Embrace the fact that what the scientists did out of fear led inexorably to that horrific outcome, and that this very same choice between fear and love exists before you.

Know that good and evil are teaching tools.

The worse things get, the more vital it is to confront your own fear with love.

Consider why some people were “asking for Brendan's head”.

Yeah, some of them will have thought “he's one of the bad ones; good riddance and I hope he loses”, and they're not likely to be persuaded.

But some people will have been scared. Civil rights are not a done deal; this was the prospect of someone who's campaigning against civil rights, in a position of authority for a project you care deeply about and believe to be important…

They may have _said_ they wanted rid of Brendan, when what they really wanted was an assurance of safety.

That sort of empathetic approach from Mozilla might have persuaded some of this group, and fostered greater understanding between the people who ended up on opposite sides of the argument. Treading more carefully would have pissed off the “other side” less too; and Mozilla would have benefited from Brendan's technical expertise for longer.

Looking back, I think Mozilla reacted too hurriedly. They could hypothetically have done a better job of defusing the situation more gently.
Curious about how you found calenday...finding any service with such specific requirements must have been difficult, from my experience at least
> diesel buses breakdown regularly

In comparison to what? Diesel engines in commercial vehicles are extremely reliable. It certainly could be possible for an electric bus to be more reliable, they certainly have less points of mechanical wear. However, there are a lot of power electronics going into charging their batteries and delivering the battery power to the motors.
Google does not care, and I should note that you wrote both go in lowercase.
60% between 100k and 125k, then 40% to 150k, then 45% beyond that. Which is weird and hidden behind incrementally removing the 'personal allowance'.

Threshold is probably 100 + (personal allowance)*2 where that was 12.5ish last I looked.

Also some state support (childcare maybe?) evaporates at 100, which is fairly similar to another tax.
