The question of justice hinges not on whether the state spends wisely, whether we should have lower taxes, or whether we should have alternative systems of deliberation to better gather citizen feedback. The question is whether it's just to have some people evade taxes. I'm on the side of more tax enforcement (that does not mean I support higher or lower taxes) because I believe it is the rich and powerful who are most adept at evading taxes.

The more those who are good at evading taxes get away with it, the more burden the poor and middle class must shoulder.

You can target ads based on public data such as posts on your profile and data you voluntarily submit (such as the accounts you follow, etc).
Have you considered, or tested, using ECMP (Equal Cost Multiple Path routing) and anycast for that?

I did some extensive IPv4 and IPv6 ECMP anycast testing a couple years ago where we'd randomly bring up and kill hosts and containers.

The network layer provided the fault tolerance and could be tweaked to react very quickly to missing hosts.
My cancelled 2020 flights I claimed through my travel insurance. I assume my insurance then asked for the money from the airline but that wasn't my problem at that point.
The problem is, you can write virtually everything on the anonymous Telegram channels, so there is no much sense in trying to make allegorical comments on the news outlets.

Nobody goes to news outlets for news anymore. They exist just to show the official stance (pretty much everywhere).

Putin cried in public after his re-election in 2012 :)
Great idea!

This is basically already how online shopping with SEPA works in Germany. You place an order, type in billing data, they do a pre-authorization, and you get an instant "order confirmation". But the money is debited from your bank account only AFTER the vendor has sent out your parcel containing the goods.

Plus, Lufthansa, the main airline for business travel, has been offering exactly this PAYF model for more than a year now. So they are suggesting to enshrine in law what some companies already negotiated privately.
The problem states that Mary has an Excel file. It does _not_ state that Mary has an access to a personal computer or a device allowing remotely accessing one.
I love hornets. Why? Because they eat wasps. Have a hornet nest in your garden where you don't come too near (2-3m) and you can eat sweets in the summer without being pestered by countless wasps that like sugar. Hornets completely ignore you instead of trying to land on your eyelashes like wasps often try to do.
5. You can get a lot of exposure on tiktok whereas on Instagram they intentionally lower your organic exposure down to where it's now 1% or so of people who follow you who actually see your posts. Of course people are not going to post on Instagram then.
It's a cool concept and much needed. I'd recommend reaching out to companies directly. Large companies will often have people in sustainability type roles who are actively looking for initiatives to support their CSR objectives. Most small companies won't have these roles, but you may have luck with ones which have a 'green' mission.

Not sure if you already do this - but I reckon a key selling point would be a monthly report which summarises the amount of miles, CO2 and other pollutants the business has eliminated as a result of their car pooling efforts. This makes the benefits tangible and easily communicated to stakeholders.

You could also offer a 1-2 month trial to businesses to get them to lower sign up friction. If you combined this with a good onboarding process and the reports mentioned above I think the churn rate would be relatively low.

I'd also modify the website to make it focused solely on explaining the concept and benefits to companies, or have a separate page for both companies and commuters that does this, as it's kind of confusing who you're targeting currently. It's companies that will ultimately make the decision to buy or not, so reckon you should focus on them.
Nobody has managed to tackle the problem of the big guys cheating, partly because when you’re at the level where you can make a difference you realise it’s more profitable to join the cheaters than fight them.

If they are real numbers then you can take the arithmetic mean of the two middle elements, but you might prefer to define the median in such a way that the definition is applicable to any set with a total order.

For example, names can be ordered alphabetically, so you can find the median of a set of names! OK, that's a silly example, but I expect someone could come up with a more sensible one.

Another case might be where you're using geometric means everywhere else in your working, but then you want a median in one place, but there are an even number of elements, so why would you suddenly use an arithmetic mean of the two middle elements?
It's a combination of several things:

(1) the quarterback position is the least demanding athletically on the whole body: Yes, QBs have strong arms but they don't need to have whole-body strength and speed like running backs and wide receivers. The players in non-QB positions have a peak of ~5 years and then quickly drop off from wear & tear. The QB position depends more on intellect -- "reading the field" and making quick decisions to get rid of the ball -- rather than running all over the field. Similar reason to why place kickers who just kick field goals can have longer careers than running backs.

(2) the particular style Tom Brady plays: he plays in a deliberate "low injury risk" way. He very rarely "scrambles" (runs out of the pocket). Scrambling opens up the quarterback to violent hits from defenders causing season-ending knee and ankle injuries. Famous scramblers that had horrific injuries include Randall Cunningham, Robert Griffin III, etc. Tom Brady got his big chance in the NFL because the QB he replaced (Drew Bledsoe) got injured during a scramble. During a play, Brady stays very aware of the offensive live protection collapsing around him and he instantly tucks the ball and crumples his body. This means he doesn't get body slammed to the ground while his arm is in mid-throwing motion, or get his knees/ankles crushed by defenders.

(3) NFL rules that evolved to protect the quarterback more and more: A 1980s quarterback like Dan Marino would get more physically punished by rushing defenders than today's quarterbacks like Tom Brady. The NFL added stricter rules because the quarterbacks are the highest-profile "stars" of the league so having them not playing on tv because of injuries is not in their best interest.
It's funny to see a coin like this minted considering the Australian government's position on encryption and privacy (well, not just Australia - pretty much any other Commonwealth country too).
Exactly. Youtube and Spotify show me the same things for six months at a time.
the key is "with linux". Try developing iOS apps or do anything within the apple ecosystem (e.g. check your photos?). Not viable for 99.9% of mac users.
I have an Asus STX II dedicated sound card and it is a very substantial improvement over built in sound cards, to the point i'd never consider having a PC without one. Most people have just never tried anything better and thus live under the illusion that the built in sound cards are "good enough", rather than the lowest common denominator.

Lack of marketing, maybe? A myth that you need to fork over thousands for a complicated audiophile setup to get very incremental improvements over the baseline? Probably a combination of these is to blame.
My rhetorical question was more a play on the common refrain by police supporters “why not X if you have nothing to hide?” But perhaps was too dry to notice without body language.

Agree with your statement.
> 3. Obscure error messages (macros are to blame here)

I feel like this is a bit strongly influenced by the macro experience.
Macros are an advanced and powerful feature and naturally more complex to debug.
In general, Crystal's error messages are often praised for their clarity and helpfulness (especially compared to dynamically typed languages, of course).

> 4. Weak HTTP server implementation -- making things such as a fetching POST params or uploads incredibly frustrating. Once read the request body cannot be read again.

The stdlib implementation of `HTTP::Server` is intentionally very bare-bones (many programming languages don't even have such a practically usable feature in stdlib).
Specialized web server implementations are available as shards (https://shardbox.org/categories/Web_Frameworks). They're based on the foundation in stdlib and provide more advanced features.

> 5. Weak/non-existent Windows support

Windows support is pretty stable and almost complete by now.

> 6. No multicore support

Crystal has supported multi-threading as opt-in via the `-Dpreview_mt` flag. It's considered a preview, because it's to be used with care when dealing with data structures that are not thread-safe. But it has proven to work well in production use.

> 8. Nil handling takes a bit getting used to (coming from Ruby)

But once you're used to it, it's sooo much helpful. It just helps to avoid a lot of potential bugs which you would have to take extra care for in Ruby.

The design error is that the applications that bind to privileged ports should be privileged as well.

It is correct design to guard ports with privileges. Not every application should be able to write out to any port and read from any port.

The correct approach to security is to have apps granted access to ports manually, as is done with firewalls.

Re: GitHub's plan to remove Trending tab
Not OP, but the concurrency model is similar to Go with its use of channels. At the moment the runtime is single-core, but the chosen model should permit multi-core (when they enable it by default) with little to no changes to user source.

Tbh, I prefer it that way round than try to retrofit multi-core onto a model that wasn't designed for it. But yes, single-core feels a bit behind the curve in 2022.
Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is there anything at all?
not only that. rent control also causes less properties to be for rent. if its not making enough money renting my property with bother? ill just keep it empty until price climbs and ill sell it. in paris they pushed rent control + they forbid you to rent your appartement is the apartment is not energy efficient enough. guess what? people that should renovate for becoming energy efficient have no real incentive to do it because anyway renovating an apartment will not allow them to rent it at higher price. they'll just hold onto it or sell it.

It has dominant market share of photo-centric social platforms.

In some smaller communities, it is also has a monopoly on social media in general and instant messaging.

This is even more problematic, because such platforms have a positive feedback loop of user acquisition. Many users have no option but to use them, because all their contacts are using them.
In Overwatch it was when I tried that a few years ago. While Atmos gave you some sense of vertical positioning generally it wasn't correct and I struggled with positioning. Theoretically Atmos ought to be miles better, its object based like the sound cards of the early 2000s but in practice they have got something wrong in the headphones implementation and positioning is hard to pick out. Its better than just stereo but the positioning is a lot better on the Sennheiser device.

Whether Dolby Atmos has improved since then or other games have implemented it better I don't know. I feel like we probably need an open source implementation middleware for object sound to headphone/surround speakers to really fix the situation.
You can do plenty of useful things without a computer too :-) but that is beside the point.

For business use you do need a browser. Fast, with security updates etc. For some people doing web development having access to professional products e.g. Adobe suite is a must too. And no, you can't do that on linux.

That is up to the other person and what the downvote button is for.

Then the community can vote via the down button. Meanwhile, you do not need to be condescending or singly try to shepherd a group conversation.

I’ve been using HN for 10 years, other than trying to shut down the other commenter, the back and forth and deviation/tangentiality in this thread isn’t different than I normally have seen on HN.
I also tried it now and then. There are too many places to have concurrency and scaling issues with such a tiny community. The packages and feature sets are thin too.

Alternatives: if you don't mind your eyes bleeding with C++-verbosity and tracking liveness yourself, there's Rust. Sure Go looks cute until you have a million users emailing you trivial questions they should've asked a group.

And if you want something similar to Crystal but with even stricter and more granular semantics than Rust with an even smaller community. there's Pony. It was built around the Orca GC. There's Nim too. Finally, one can use Haskell to built that critical payment service and maintain absolute job security. Meanwhile, the Erlang/Elixir OTP stack stays performant, although no one is quite sure how to package, deploy, and manage its lifecycle properly.
Null Keys and Values in Maps
In the company where I worked there was an old telnet-like technology called "green screen". People would say "have you checked if this feature works in Greenscreen", or "is the price calculated same as in Greenscreen".

The Greenscreen - of course - is actually blue :).

BTW non-English-speaking teams have a slight advantage here. Technical terms and proper nouns in English are used in English, while everything else (for example - referring to a screen that's actually green) is done in our native language, so there's no misunderstanding.
> Would you then argue that there are infinitely many medians in this data set

By the definition I usually go by (the one with the inequalities), that dataset has infinitely many medians. There is no reason to say the midpoint is privileged. This is a better definition because it also works on sets where an order is defined but the arithmetic mean is not.

If asked to report a single value with no qualifications, I would report either extreme of the interval.
Aren't you just rephrasing the GP's point? If social media was "sticky", users would suck up the poor UX and missing features and stick with platform X because 'that's where everyone is'. The fact that users are willing to 'start over' their accounts over such issues just shows that the moat offered by being the place where everyone is is more shallow than one would think.
> rather than explain how they work

My interpretation was that LEOs who use Stingrays were required to sign NDAs and the company as well as one of the three-letter-agencies that facilitated them didn’t want the information in public court records.

It’s possible that there is something unconstitutional going on. It’s possible that having the technical specs in court would allow foreign terrorists (for example) to understand how they are being caught.

Whatever it is, it seems incompatible with a democratic republic government. But the democratically elected representatives don’t seem interested in reigning it in.
This is all the more reason to state it as a yearly salary. There are only 12 months in a year. You might get 2 extra paychecks but those are bonuses/irregular payments; there aren’t magically 2 extra months in the year.
concurrency != multi-threading.

Crystal's concurrency is based on fibers (green threads) which works very well even on a single thread (it scales to multiple threads, as well)

And for many use cases with high parallelization and little shared state (including web applications such as a search engine), multi-threading isn't necessary. Synchronization overhead is a serious performance killer.
You can get much more performance out of running N processes with a single thread instead of a single process running N threads.
That's kinda what I just said. :)
They did actually create a standalone app, it was called Lasso. They put Lasso out there and did Reels at the same time. Then I guess their metrics made them decide to focus on Reels, possibly they looked at the wrong ones.
I don’t, but I see lots of roles advertised as female only. I see extra levels of approval required by diversity councils to promote males.

Currently I think it's quite expensive (for locals). E.g. bedroom + living room costs > 3k PLN in Cracow, and probably more in Warsaw. At the same time junior dev can earn about 5-9k PLN net. My non-dev friends often are not even able to live in Cracow.
going strong? you don't have security updates since..a decade. The browsers (I have such a machine too, for museum purposes and occasional fun) won't load most of the sites and will be super slow. I absolutely accept and respect whomever wishes to live in the past but technology is in the now. I do not understand people talking about "saving money". New hardware allows you to be faster and more efficiently. That is worth so much more than the machine cost.

Advocating obsolte hardware is just wrong.

These improper nouns are unfortunately common in mathematics. Terms like “real number” are often confusing to non-mathematicians, who assume a deeper meaning behind them.

This is why we need Lojban.
This is the same problem with Ruby, Python. or any interpreted language.

What most LSPs do is approximate it rather than worry about perfection and deliver nothing.

Unless you are proposing to take his extra 10k euros by force, or let him invest it elsewhere?

If you want him to invest his 150k euros in housing you need to (according to him) lower his risk.

I'm not from the US & I don't watch corporate news.

And I doubt any of the people who cause that sort of catastrophe go in to it saying "lol we're gonna starve you peasants!". They go in saying "this'll work, you just need to give us power rather than those greedy capitalists". The ideas there turned out to be worse than WWII because they weren't on-the-face scary enough to prompt the violent resistance to them that was needed. I dunno, I suppose just as a point of interest, what part of the communist ideology do you think they got wrong, which needs to be avoided? Particularly from the early days before people realised how bad the famines were going to be?

And I don't think that the US socialists are interested in copying Sweeden. They've got their own plans and they're going to claim "this is what worked in Sweden!" regardless of whether that is true or not. I don't think AOC or Sanders speaks Swedish or has any respect for Swedish legal principle.
While it’s a nice concept I agree it’s probably not the best fit for the use case. I also don’t understand the point of recruitment spam. What’s the purpose of sending 5 follow up emails. I find it absolutely annoying and would never respond back to an unsolicited email. Surely had they enough applicants for an appealing job, they wouldn’t have chased that much.
I didn’t think Stingrays were needed for geolocation. The fixed towers can already supply that info.

I thought Stingrays forced all nearby cell phones to connect to them and downgraded the connection to 2G so encryption was not a protection.

No it isn't, it's not like bosses suddenly got worse and then this trend took off. HBR is such a rag.

Quiet quitting is the realization that if you work hard and push yourself in an employee role you're a sucker. And its depressing.

I wish I could find a team that was pushing themselves hard because they cared and getting their share of the profits. I miss feeling inspired without the spectre of being exploited.

Ultimately though the management solution to quiet quitting is pretty straightforward: raise the bar with concrete performance expectations.

I feel like there is a big problem with this comparison: many of those asked to use TikTok and Reels already likely have been using TikTok for a while. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any mention of resetting TikTok so TikTok for them would have had a major advantage as its would have been pre-trained.
Wait, I need to ask about the sample data & methodology here:
- these 100 users they asked, were they already frequent users of TikTok and Instagram reels?

This experiment makes no sense if users spent a lot of time training the TikTok algorithm, prior to running the experiment while they didn't train the Instagram Reels algorithm?
Of course the results are more interesting and less generic if they had used TikTok a lot before...?
