> 1) how does one manage works hours in different timezones?

I simply only apply to jobs where I work on my timezone. We have some meetings that end at 6PM locally.

> 2) tax: should I take my earning into a personal account in the US/EU?

Depends on your residency. And depends on the law of the country you end up residing in.

> Or alternatively start a corp and do corp to corp without and only pay myself minimum amount? 3) tax: do I pay taxes in the US and in the EU? Do they go after my US corporate?

You'll maybe need a VISA on the new country were you reside. Easiest would be a working visa. The country may have an agreement with USA where they run a sql-query to find tax-evaders and join it with a table of residents.

You might be found out. The USA may come after you for taxes on revenue of I believe +$150K/year. The USA has some fancy global taxation.
"creating a loophole" presupposes that we want to stop people as much as possible, from coming to our country.

I consider it an extraordinary privilege to have people wanting to flee here for safety and opportunity, and not just because they might turn out to be olympic athletes, but because they need us and we can help.
The UN maintains a list of official country names in six languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic) [1], and UN representatives of the countries can request how they want their country to be written in any of those.

I guess China could request to be called 中国 in English communication in the UN and/or ISO (if I understand your question correctly). The main issue is that if you put up to much friction for other language speakers, they're just going to ignore you/the official standards and do whatever they want, so it becomes a bit self-defeating. I expect this to happen to Turkey as well: English speakers will probably mostly keep using "Turkey" rather than "Türkiye" indefinitely, except in cases where ISO/UN standard are really required.

There are several sausages that share the prefix “Frankfurters” such as Frankfurter Würstchen (which is the hotdog style sausage that Americans have shortened to just “Frankfurter”). In fact it’s not just sausages that have that name, there’s also a cake called “Frankfurter Kranz”.

And why do all these dishes have that name? Because they are specialities believed to have originated from Frankfurt am Main. In other words, they got their name from the city.

This is pretty common to. In the U.K. we have Cornish Pasty, Yorkshire Pudding, English Breakfast, Scottish Breakfast. There’s Eccles Cake, welsh Cake, Bath buns, Chelsea Buns and Bakewell Tarts. You can get Irish Coffee and Irish Stew.

Americans have no shortage of the same too. Like Mississippi Mud Pie.
Well that just makes me even more interested, the sort of hobby that involves a hundred steel tables is my kind of hobby.
We decided to replace Postman and develop our own API Explorer for browsing ServiceStack APIs which is able to provide a simpler, faster and more integrated & customizable UX:

https://docs.servicestack.net/api-explorer

I'd still use Postman for testing 3rd Party APIs, but it provides a subpar UX for calling our own APIs which we can provide a better optimized UX around our USP features, e.g. the "Code" tab walks end user API consumers through how they can easily call each typed API in 9 different supported languages:

Ask HN: Any service/ways to get slack (weekly) digest per workspace?
Hi HN!

I would like to sync the best part of slack discussions as archives that could be searched by google(like what we used to do with IRC), is there any best practices on this?
I noticed the Slack API provided event related to messages, in theory, could be leveraged, while I wonder if there is anything on digest level that already could be used.

Thanks!

I definitely don't invite them into my car to demonstrate I'm paying extra rent for hardware I've already paid for, if that's what you're asking.
What you refer to as the adults is a vicious empire that imprisons its journalists, supports brutal dictatorships and topples democratically elected governments and invades on a whim committing war crimes. This is our gang - the "good guys", who just so happen to mimic Russia's worst excesses when push comes to shove.

Now our gang is fighting a proxy war with another nuclear gang because we cant deal with the result of a democratic vote to join Russia in a place that speaks exclusively Russian.

And we're being asked to freeze to death out of sympathy.
>I recently ran into this trying to boot linux on my old imac. Ubuntu actually works but forget about arch, manjaro, and a whole lot of other distributions. Imacs have no off-switch for secure boot that I know off.

Does it also not let you use your own keys? Because if it does, you don't have to turn SB off, just use your key to sign the UKI and a bootloader like systemd-boot. It should work with any distro, especially one that uses dracut to create the initramfs because it's a couple of lines of dracut config to generate a (signed) UKI instead.
For some people, even being exposed to sunlight won't push vitamin D to safe levels.

False. Even with a cursory understanding of buddhist tradition you should know that the many schools accept the existence of god-like beings, but differ on their influence of the buddhist practitioner.

You could start to increase your understanding by reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_deities or https://www.learnreligions.com/atheism-and-devotion-in-buddh...
Yes.

And still, there's 1) an interesting parallel with art/creation, and 2) something missing in the web toolkit for people.

1) when you (want to) create something (whatever the discipline), it seems that everyone faces this dread that what they are doing is either not popular, or just too common and used, so what's the point in creating/doing it?

When it might still be essential to do it first for oneself, because the prize is in the practice itself, not the by-product that is the result. Writing is thinking, so are

2) the idea of comments trail as a thought archive is good! I wish there was an integrated way (as integrated as "View Source") in browsers not only to comment (so publicly write something) about web documents or elements, but to annotate them - for private use first, with the option of making them public on a personal site (yes, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_annotation but...)
Poland ended communism with numerous streets dedicated to Lenin, Stalin, Dzierżynski et al. These went like overnight.

But maybe grayscale patrons remained and lingered. If someone was "just" a prime minister, not particularly zealous, but still in the Soviet service, are they ok or not? There are different waves of "decommunisation" going throughout time.

Thing is, each time renaming a street is a lot of havoc. Official records, business registration addresses, business cards, logos, subscriptions, everything needs to change.

For this reason such changes end up stuck in limbo and are often eventually abandoned or undone.

I wonder if Türkiye will encounter similar issues.
I saw a book recently called "The Man who mistook his job for his life", I didn't particularly like the content (kind of pop-psychoanalysis) but it's a great title pun/reference and the examples in the book suggest it's a common experience to be successful and unhappy.
Being a refugee should not be (and isn't) a blank cheque to settle in whatever part of the world you want, financially supported by the locals regardless of whether they want you there or not. If it were that would be a perverse incentive to actually try and make your own country collapse, as it'd be easier to claim "refugee" status than fix domestic issues. This is doubly true given that some people are fanatical about the issue of fully open borders regardless of downsides, and will immediately expand the definition of "refugee" to incorporate anyone at all. The concept of a "climate refugee" is already being promoted, for example.

Combined with the argument you're making here it is just a cynical attempt to hijack people's good natured desire to help genuine war refugees, into jackhammering unlimited migration and open borders into society without consideration of any costs. This must not be allowed to happen as this kind of abuse will ultimately result in the collapse of support for any kind of refugee and asylum support.

I've been building a product search engine that uses only organic indicators to rank products. I just tested with a query "mp3 device player" and the url mentioned above showed up.
I have this problem every time, and really what we need is some crowd-sourced open database that lets people add attributes to products. I mean Wikipedia already has great tables for comparing software, for example version control systems [1]. There are specialized sites for things like Android phones [2] or PC monitors [3]. Amazon and Google Shopping often let you filter by attributes, but since many products aren't comprehensively tagged, you'll miss a lot if you use the filter (something that crowd sourcing could solve). Looking online, there only seems to be one project like this called Datakick [4] but it's not very functional.

This kind of database would be a big win for smaller niche product manufacturers, who would be able to easily reach the customers looking for their feature set. And for contributors, the crowd-sourcing could be as simple as a browser extension that overlays on top of product websites (eg Amazon) and lets users easily tag products. I'm surprised something like this hasn't taken off yet.

From the article:

A 2014 review of 53 trials that compared elective surgical procedures to placebos found that sham surgeries provided some benefit in 74 percent of the trials and worked as well as the real deal in about half.1 Consider the middle-aged guy going in for surgery to treat his knee pain. Arthroscopic knee surgery has been a common orthopedic procedure in the United States, with about 692,000 of them performed in 2010,2 but the procedure has proven no better than a sham when done to address degenerative wear and tear, particularly on the meniscus.3
I am unable to reproduce your claim. My exact code is:

import System.IO
main = do
file <- openFile "hello.txt" ReadMode
putStrLn "opened hello.txt"
contents <- hGetContents file
print contents

I ran it with:

ghc main.hs
strace -fo strace.log ./main

The strace log confirms the file is opened before putStrLn writes its output:

...
96748 openat(AT_FDCWD, "hello.txt", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
...
96748 write(1, "opened hello.txt\n", 17) = 17
96748 read(3, "this is a file\n", 8192) = 15
96748 read(3, "", 8192) = 0
96748 close(3) = 0
...
96748 write(1, "\"this is a file\\n\"\n", 19) = 19
...

Do you have an example that demonstrates IO not happening in the order of the monad? I really don't think what you say can possibly be right, but I'd like to see it if it is.

The article says they're offering both options.

Cross referencing state registration databases. Sirius XM always finds your new address. The dealerships too.
Ah that makes sense. Out of sheer curiosity, can you quantify “heavily” from your experience? Are we talking about 3:1? 10:1? Also, is this by weight or by calorie?
While we all love to hate on the design document, I actually think the final logo is really good.
Its also highly misleading because the number of people dying putting solar panels on the roof was totally made up; Brian Wang simply made it up by apportioning an arbitrarily large proportion of roofing deaths to rooftop solar, even reasoned through to the bizarre conclusion that if every US roof had panels installed, annual roofing deaths would increase ninefold! Also, he refuses to accept that more than 50 people died as a result of Chernobyl...
Not disagreeing with the general message, but IMHO if a user is willing to go through the hassle of installing another OS, as easy as it is nowadays, I don't think toggling a bios option is _that_ big of a deal.

As far as I'm concerned as long as it's possible to re-enable the 3rd Party CA (or disable Secure Boot altogether) it's not tragic considering this only applies to a specific kind of machines ("Secured Core PCs") and not to mainstream ones
> No, I don't have any example of any king in Europe...

Kalinga deaths are recorded to be 150000. I will suggest reading about the crusades and others religious wars to find how many were killed. Please also read about how Bible was used to justify the slavery and subjugation of pagans.

Indian conquered upto Cambodia, Persians conquered a big part of known world yet didn't engage in erasing the native population or the culture of conquered. But in contrast almost entire population of native Americans were annihilated. They practically do not exist.

It is unlikely that a large ape will be able to go around Moscow without setting all kind of alerts, so it won't be effective.

Kidding aside, Ukraine has nothing to gain with attacking the Russian population with terror attacks as that might be the excuse Putin needs for forced conscription and further escalation (even nuclear).

Non conventional attacks on military assets in the occupied areas are to be expected though and are in fact already happening.
Amazing. Weiner discovered the Golden Rule thought it was his own creation, repackaged it in corporatespeak.

"Compassionate management" should be the norm, and I'm suspicious of anyone who considers their own brand of management to be special for adhering to such a principle

I understand that Weiner has probably dealt with a lot of uncompassionate managers, but that should be treated as the exception to the definition of management and not the rule.

> It's possible to come up with different conclusions than that, IMO, rather pessimistic one.

It being possible does not make it probable. I would bet that most people reading the paper are going to come to the "unions bad" conclusion, specifically because people (at least here in the US) have repeatedly been told over and over again that "unions bad".
People commenting online is a specific subset of the customer base and general population. They will lean open source/anti-business/linux-desktop way more than those things are relevant in the real world.

Most numbers seem too high to me. KDE and Gnome are definitely below 2GB out of the box and Openbox using >600MB also seems pretty high. A lightweight system like Alpine or Void can be at ~150MB of RAM usage with a window manager.

RAM usage comparisons including the whole OS aren't that interesting imho, run a couple programs and you'll never reach those numbers again until the next reboot. RAM isn't intended to be empty.

Yes. The world has learned a great deal about governance in the past 200+ years that the US has mostly failed to apply. Its Constitution was supposed to be more adaptable, but each hint of flexibility has threatened to make things radically worse, instead, so we are afraid to try improving it.

Instead, we have the Supreme Court just make shit up.

Yep, our ruling class is educated to be quick witted in abstract debates and that is the extent of their depth.
Besides that, “safety” is a very abstract term, and when it comes to a specific model like this the problems become more prosaic things like “embarrassment”.

That could be of people you’ve made deepfakes of, but it could be OpenAI embarrassed that their outputs look bad, or their users embarrassed that they got an NSFW output for an SFW prompt.

I think the censorship is also about copyright though; it barely knows any characters while dalle mini users are generating stuff like “Shrek on trial for murder” all day.

>They would write the file descriptors of connected sockets to a file, restart the process, then read the list of file descriptors back into memory and resume normal use of the socket

Nope. When a Process exits for whatever reason, the OS closes and releases all resources connected with all File/Socket descriptors for that Process.

> What does "scripture" mean in this context? Scripture normally means messages 'directly' from the 'Abrahamic God'

Oxford disagrees: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...

And Hindu scriptures is the example the lexicographers chose. Besides, the Old and New Testaments are traditionally attributed to specific authors. Only the Quran qualifies as scripture by your definition, not even the Hadith.

> I thought Hinduism did not have any belief in any messages being sent from "God" to humans.

The Vedas are considered revelation from the ultimate reality. There are other scriptures considered apauruseya i.e. of non-human origin.
And I'm saying that the profanity was not the only problem that caused the review to be shadow-filtered. Regardless of whether the system filters profanity or not, the fact that it filters them while pretending otherwise is the problem. If one supports the system that shadow-filters profanity, they're also supporting the system that shadow-filters "some other unidentified thing that seems perfectly fine", and thus leads to them not seeing reviews that contained useful information.

You think I can't write a review without profanity? Of course I can. I can be extremely polite while pointing out the issues I had with the business. That's exactly what I did when I realized this was happening. I just didn't know I was going to be held to that standard when I posted the review, and the system lied to me that what I wrote was acceptable so I had no reason to believe otherwise.

If you were relying on not reading reviews like mine because my use of profanity implied I was a jerk, well I'm sorry but your heuristic isn't going to work any more because I know now. It wasn't even hard for me to figure out, so I'm sure most of the jerks have figured it out too. So sorry if you were relying on that, but you probably can't any more.
But the turkey bird was named after the country Turkey, because the British wrongly believed that these birds are imported from Turkey.

Similarly inappropriate names are used in French and in Portuguese, based on wrong beliefs about the origin of the turkey birds (from India or from Peru).

While in French the relationship between "dinde" and "d'Inde" is less obvious, Peru might object on the same grounds as Turkey to the turkey being called "peru" in Portuguese.

I believe that is always better to use the native names of countries, places, people and so on, but unfortunately, it is not realistic to expect that most native English speakers will ever be able to pronounce most foreign names in a way resembling their original pronunciation.

Even for the countries whose names happen to be written in the same way in English as in their own language, the English speakers pronounce them very differently, mainly because they are habituated to correspondences between vowel letters and vowel sounds that are unlike those used in any other language.
To be fair, Catholicism has seen many branches over the year and only skirts by this "it's confusing" stuff by claiming it's the OG Christian sect, despite having massive shifts in policy over the years.
And oscilloscope manufacturers. You can typically "unlock" more bandwidth with a code after purchasing. The delivered device is capable of sampling at greater bandwidth but the software prevents it above the paid-for bandwidth.
