Why should I, a small time REIT holder, pay more proportionately in property taxes than a celebrity in a Beverly Hills mansion, or even my landlord who only rents out a few, million-dollar units for that matter? I think every individual should be entitled to 500k in preferential property tax (1 million for couples), and every dollar above that should be taxed a lot higher. In places where there is high demand, new housing can also be taxed at the preferential rate some number of years to incentivize development.

No. I think the package maintainers did the best they could in the face of an ever rising mountain of dependency.
Very much so. I can't believe it happened over 15 years ago!

Obviously this will depend on the industry and work environment, but I feel like the "4.5 day workweek" is already a thing for many office workers. What I'm talking about is the culture around slacking on a Friday.

At least at my company, it's an unwritten rule that you never schedule a meeting after 12PM on a Friday. You can see from slack statuses that folks most all leave early and take longer lunch breaks. And any calls usually end with "lets finish hashing this out monday".

Again just my personal experience, but where I've worked I've noticed that's consistently been the culture.

That's the point so, there is no other system that can give those capabilities for now. Seriously read the article, it is pretty good on that topic.

In terms of tank usage, they are also quite good in when directly engaging fortified positions, e.g. field bunkers and so on.
> The claim that this law would force companies to be more efficient by having fewer meetings assumes management are rational.

It also assumes that non-exempt employees are spending 8 hours a week in unnecessary meetings. Aren't most meeting-heavy jobs by definition exempt, since they'll tend to be either professional or administrative?

One nuance to this is that the "bid" is much more than just the number of dollars to be exchanged. It's credit quality, cash offer/not, and subjective things ("I want to sell my house to a family with kids, not a real estate developer")

So even if someone is told which bid is currently in the lead, the subjective elements may mean out-bidding that offer would not put them in a winning position.

Not to say eliminating blind bidding wouldn't be a good idea.
You can still back out of the deal but you will typically forfeit your deposit or earnest money (sometimes in the $10’s of thousands). But I hear you with the seller’s market - we just purchased a couple homes in the Austin area, bid significantly over asking price, waived all contingencies, and offered free 2-month rent back.
True, it can be costly, I agree with it. But there is no other way to have fair elections where everyone beleives that the election which happened was fair itself.

In paper ballot voting, the election commision is gonna count the paper ballots one by one. It is gonna cost money. The same amount of money will be for EVM+VVPAT. (less actually, as paper counting will be less and reserved for candidates who want a recount).
In languages that use short scale, you say "milliard" to mean "billion". You say "billion" to mean "trillion". It's very confusing and a frequent source of errors in translation. Every time I see the Czech word for "billion", I have to think about whether they mean 10^9 or 10^12.

In Canada inspection contingencies only protect the buyer for major problems, and definitely aren't a "get out of jail free" card... I haven't seen anyone be able to back out after inspection in the last handful of years. Hell, we're having trouble even getting an inspection contingency to stick as people are more and more often foregoing that in hopes of getting their bid in.
I followed a chain of links to see if I can pinpoint the origin of the quote, but that only resulted in, as you indicated, in Chomsky's own words[1]. As such, you are right, for that reason his credibility is more relevant since I was not able to verify Eban's words.

Separately, I did some basic googling of Eban quotes and his positions[2] do not seem at odds with the gist of Chomsky's quote though:

"One of the chief tasks of any dialogue with the Gentile world is to prove that the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is not a distinction at all. Anti-Zionism is merely the new anti-Semitism….”

I only started reading the link you provided so it may take a while before I respond.

It's kind of strange to say but if anything Creationists believe in a hyper evolution - for starters there is a complimentary geological theory which holds that most changes are catastrophic e.g. canyons, islands are the result of wildly destructive volcanos, primordial floods (think massive post iceage lakes breaking through a mountainside, or extreme and constant hurricanes and tidal waves).

As for evolution, the Christians literally believe man was made whole, along with every other living thing - a more sci-fi explanation would be massive viral and bacterial mutation, like a lichen growing legs and arms (bacteria and viruses both evolve at breathtaking speeds, so it is possible if unlikely).

Creationists do actually acknowledge evolution, they usually downplay its significance or spend a lot of time pointing the current scientific inconsistencies in mainstream evolutionary theories.

I think they are both a bit wrong - obviously Creationism is wildly optimistic about both an all powerful entity who creates things then mysteriously vanishes, never to be heard from again (discounting the delusions or child-exploitation of near death "I met god" accounts). There is a wide amount of expression our genes already afford us - it only takes a couple generations for most animals or plants to express very different visible traits. Couple that with invasive viral infections permanently mutating the gonad materials (eggs, sperm, spores) and wild environmental fluctuations (meteors hitting the ocean), you could experience evolutionary forces in a very short time frame. I don't know that you require billions or trillions of years in the margins of carbon dating.

Ignoring questions of whether the astrophysicists have it right with the age of the known universe (is the big bang truly the beginning of the universe or just an event in a multidimensional cosmos?), a middle ground where the evolutionists and Christians are both wrong seems more plausible to me - hominids have been around for a very, very long time, perhaps even coexisting hundreds or billions of years ago with dinosaurs. We just happen to exist post some set of climactic events, cutting us off from our history.

I should clarify - I am not pro Creationism, I used to appreciate having been taught a different theory, however apologist doesn't make for good science, especially when the mainstream theories have the easy out of calling anything else "Christian nonsense". E.g. in physics there is the standard model, and various competing alternative models, crucially there are no major appeals to authority and so competing theories can thrive. Evolution is almost political on the other hand, much the same as climate science.

I guess we had Christian physics, we called that witchcraft. Ironically, with some of the immoral things modern tech has enabled, perhaps the claims of beezlebub in your tech weren't off the mark wholly. They are plenty of angels in tech though too...

The secret has been out for 40+ years. The Sagger decimated Israeli tanks in the Sinai in 1973 until the IDF started using combined arms tactics. The TOW (and to a much lesser extent, the Dragon) gave NATO the ability to blunt a potential Soviet invasion of Europe. The Hellfire (and to a lesser extent, the TOW) dominated Iraq during the Desert Storm, and during the Iraq invasion in 2003. The Javelin itself is almost 30 years old in design.

The only reason we're hearing so much talk about the Javelin/NLAW is because of cheap cellphone videos capturing so much of the war in Ukraine. (And extremely poor Russian tactics...)

I don't think equating FOSS with tedious rituals does any good to any one. You can still have Debian installers be the way they are, with the addition of having a button that enabled non-free firmware to remove the need for USB tethering and three reboots. FOSS has a problem with UX design, and this is definitely one symptom.
I see no reason why library authors should be expected to document this when the actual source of truth — the Cargo.toml file — is sitting right there and will never be wrong. If you want to see the transitive dependencies, all you need is to run "cargo tree".

Both crates.io and lib.rs surface this automatically right there on the crate's page.

The rust "culture" on transitive dependencies is actually laudably transparent: it's built right into the tools.
Lies, damned lies and statistics? Seems like an example of that.

I mean the "at least half a million" figure is not factually incorrect, it's just... misinformation? Downplaying, either intentionally or accidentally? Same as the "probably more" line, it's downplaying a fact by adding a bit of insecurity. It's an ass covering opening paragraph.

The judgement was purely political, so the reason that was constructed was arbitrary and irrelevant. Anything that caused restrictions on personal freedom or caused inconvenience had to be removed, no matter the effect on others. Personal freedom is absolute unless it’s politically unacceptable such as abortion or minority rights.

Unfortunately, reality pays no attention to politics and we’ll see over the next few years how badly politics has damaged accept public health measures like childhood vaccination and, say, restaurant closure for sanitary concerns.
I see various websites show Canada as having an average of 32.5 hours per week for working hours. I don't think that is accurate. Most business here use a 40 hour week and most government departments have a 37.5 work week.

Most European countries I see are well under 30 hours most mid to low 20s. I wonder if that is accurate as well.

I do see videos of people from the US living in various European countries who say people are less stressed from work. They say most people want to go out after work compared to the US where everyone is so stressed they just crash at home after work.
Exempt (and non-exempt) are orthogonal to salaried vs hourly.

An exempt hourly worker still gets paid for over time, just at 1.0x rather than the mandated 1.5x.

ok so as I understand it .19¢ must be 19% of a penny, 19 * 5 is 95, so 95% of a penny. If you add sales tax to that, if your state has one, doesn't that come out to 5 for a penny? Are you being facetious or is .19¢ the same as $.19 and my base expectation is wrong?

I'm not a journalist but I do sympathize with these types of mistakes in the media. Journalists have two essential parts to their roles: (1) understand the topic, (2) communicate the topic. The issue that comes up again and again is that journalists are not really qualified to do (1). Many issues and topics that journalists report on require expertise, a PhD, or just years of investigation to deeply understand.

Compounding the difficulty is that journalists report to non-experts in two ways. Their direct bosses are other journalists. Their indirect bosses are the consumers of media, 99.99% are non-experts. If 99.99% of your customers don't know or care about the details you will naturally put less attention towards the details.

We need to stop pretending that reading/watching/listening to the news is somehow informative or educational. Every piece of journalism is, at some level, fiction trying to masquerade as non-fiction. One way to fix this is to encourage more experts to directly communicate with the public. This has the opposite problem, since most experts are not skilled at communicating their expertise to a wide audience. Ultimately a healthy society requires a balance of the two. I'm firmly in the camp that we currently have too many non-experts trying to communicate expertise.

This is a fair assessment.

There is another strategy than asking them to remove it, though. Ask them to qualify it. I've done this in the past (a long time ago, mind you, and in the UK, where employers are still somewhat bound by decency as well as law). I was asked to sign an extensive NDA for a short period of employment, and I agreed, on the condition that I could decline to join any meeting that wasn't strictly related to the project I was hired on, and that the same NDA bound them when discussing my personal projects.

That is not a stupid question, it is actually quite difficult to answer.

Short answer, such a faraday enclosure won't do as much against this type of radiation, but your hardrrives should be fine either way.

A microwave oven is optimally shielded for around 2.4 GHz. That is a very very high frequency compared to the solar flare. At lower frequencies, the shielding isn't as optimal and will only yield a minor reduction.

The solar flare puts some dents into the earth magnetic field, that swing back and forth at a much much lower frequency. This causes currents in the mesh of wires we put on top of the earth to power everything.
This current then overloads most systems and destroys electronics on the substations level. Transformers blow out, everything with long wires stretched over a few hundred Kilometers can accumulate a ridiculous unwanted current. Protecting against this is difficult and expensive, so a lot of stuff goes byebye.

Your hard drive lying unconnected in the sun, will feel like it's raining lots of very tiny magnets. It will respond with a tiny surface current, but that would be it.
This should not erase the data.

Thanks! I've put a ton of work in since then, and it's been a fun side project that kept me focused and energized and thinking positive thoughts during the pandemic.

The sad thing is people I know would tell you the COVID number is _overcounted_ because anyone dying while having COVID is counted as a COVID death.

That is true, but not enough to change the numbers and certainly not enough to make up for the uncounted cases. But when these media outlets get the numbers wrong, it bolsters these ideological positions built around “they’re lying to you”.
Not every house in the market is going to be a first home either though; especially when such incentives are often limited to a certain (the lower end) range.
> Aren't most meeting-heavy jobs by definition exempt

> However, Section 13(a)(1) and Section 13(a)(17) of the FLSA provide an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers, and other similarly skilled workers in the computer field who meet certain tests regarding their job duties and who are paid at least $684* per week on a salary basis or paid on an hourly basis, at a rate not less than $27.63 an hour.

If you're a computer programmer making less than $27.63/hour (and I have been that situation living in low cost of living area), you are a non-exempt professional worker. I got 1.5x overtime, and since the company had it as policy, working evenings or weekends got a shift differential too.

Ask HN: What is the best way to split an evergrowing Git monorepo?
I am building a big project for Deno/Node (compatible with both) and the project has different parts I would like to split into their own repos. I have never built a project as complex as this (nowhere near alpha release but 10K LOC as of right now). It is a passion and learning project of mine.

I'm looking for a way to split the monorepo into "packages" so that it's easier to work on one area at a time, and also allows other devs in the future to work on it without having to git clone the whole repo.

I would also like to know if there's a magic way to keep releases, version tags and such in sync between all the repos, so in the end it looks like a monorepo but allows for better modularity.

Turning it into a modular codebase is kind of important, because the project is able self-update modules (it has its own small package manager separate from NPM that downloads and installs tarballs)

What is your approach to the mono/multirepo problem? Any advice, personal experiences or nice blog posts you can share? Better to use git subtree or submodule?

Thanks in advance, fellow hackers!
