> I think it's worthwhile to try to persuade application developers to not use inaccessible GUI toolkits, particularly for new projects. We can do that at the same time that we work on making more GUIs accessible.

Can we? People don't typically work on tools they don't intend to use. Where are the people doing the fixing going to come from if the conventional wisdom is "even if you use this for a side project, you're harming disabled people?"

Another way of framing your suggestion here is that toolkits with the resources to make themselves accessible without community help will always dominate toolkits that don't have those resources. That stifles progress for anyone.

> But in the meantime, until it's fixed, a disabled person could fail to get a particular job, or even lose a job they already have, due to an inaccessible application.

This kind of stake-raising honestly feels toxic to me, sometimes. You can make the same argument about almost anything. Eventually, you're going to get tuned out, because the knee-jerk reaction expressed to any new project is "well, you didn't do thing X I wanted, so I refuse to care even if the project has merit."

What's wrong with saying "hey, this is cool, but be aware if you wanna use wxWidgets for production app, know it's inaccessible and so you'll have more work to do to make your app accessible, which I assume you want to do, because it's the right (and often profitable!) thing to do"?

Why do we have to escalate it to "If you make side projects with wxWidgets, you're encouraging people to use them for production apps and therefore causing disabled people to lose their jobs"? It's purposefully taking everything in the most negative way possible.

Put another way, how is your argument distinct from the following: "Working on Audacity, a project for audio, privileges hearing people over Deaf people, and therefore could deprive Deaf people of programming jobs would go to text-based projects if there were fewer commercial audio engineering products helping people to replace text resources (blogs, etc.) with audio (podcasts, etc.). Therefore, Audacity is harmful and one should not work on it."
This doesn't open a specific document or stream, just a web site with a bunch of links.
There's a famous quote by Uptain Sinclair that is applicable, if indirectly. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." If Vitalik was wrong, do you think he'd be able to see it?
Sure, but it seems pretty silly to ban the police from using data that any private citizen can access.
every year there is new and more shit to learn and the counter is reset to stay “relevant”. meanwhile those in other professions carry on with their lives in their slow moving field.
I have no moral qualms about gambling. I just hate that every single advertisement (in the NHL at least) is for sports betting. It’s just nauseating to see so many ads for the same topic, especially when I have no interest in sports betting

As an aside, I’m surprised book makers exist in the age of betting exchanges. Why pay the book maker a cut when you can place a bet with a counter party directly?
Neat idea! What are you running it off of?

I don't understand your objection. The country was run by robber barons and started to move toward some sort of revolution (however you would describe FDR getting four terms), then antitrust laws ended it. Then we stopped enforcing antitrust laws, and got Google, Amazon, Disney, etc..

> That is a very pessimistic way of looking at things.

This isn't a real criticism. It's either an accurate way of looking at things or not. And I think the obvious odds that Amazon wouldn't just buy it and shut it down if it made it up the difficult road of getting any significant traction are 1. That's how business works now, that's actually success. Tech companies are making this exact argument during antitrust hearings - that not allowing them to buy businesses up and shut them down would destroy the startup scene.

edit: it would have a lot better chance if somebody would paint Amazon as either being intolerably liberal, intolerably conservative, or both at the same time. Open the angry Boomer spigot.

It materially changed how I approach the food portion of my budget. I stopped dining out, and began dining at home. When I shop, I buy what is on sale, and on some sale items, I'll buy extra and freeze the rest (so I have enough of the item, to last until it's on sale again). I meal plan around what's in my pantry, freezer, and whatever is on sale that week. Most dinners are a protein, carb, and a vegetable, so I'm eating a more balanced, healthier diet with less processed ingredients.
I’m in full agreement with you and this is something I talked about before the 2009 implosion as well.

I’ve received a couple of job offers in San Jose for positions that require a significant education and skill but won’t even cover a mortgage once everything is taken into account. I really think they will either be forced to raise their offers or hire a dwindling pool of already established locals.
They are paid very well, if they don’t look at it as part of the job then the company has bigger problems
Simply look up the indefinite detention of refugees here to get an idea.
You might look into QLED, RLCD, or E-ink monitors. There’s a lot of posts online about how they reduce eye strain or that you just don’t feel the “glare” that you normally get from looking at a screen. I use a QLED monitor for programming and an e-ink monitor for reading papers / anything static, and it makes a big difference. But, they’re expensive. I wouldn’t do it if I weren’t in software and looking at a screen constantly.
It's a red flag when a company says they are, "in strict compliance with relevant privacy laws."

Complying with the law is the bare minimum.
That doesn’t seem very logical. Why would they buy the stupidly expensive power from the market instead of running their own and selling to neighboring countries?

It’s also high time the anti-nuclear crowd goes back to school to learn about statistics. I’m sure coal and gas closing at 1k€ are much better for the planet and the citizens of France /s
Sportsbooks don't make money by betting against the gamblers. They make money by facilitating betting between gamblers on both sides of the game. Their goal isn't to win, it's to set a line that'll attract an even amount of money on both sides, and keep a percentage for the service. So lines (the final scores you're betting on) move over time as the public piles on one side or another of a bet, and that there's often value in going the other way if you know enough about what a line should be.

That's very doubtful. Normally you'd get toothpaste along with a bunch of other items. The convenience of delivery means you no longer purchase in batches. Batches is more efficient in every sense.

Maybe the mom and pop's supply chain could be shorter and more efficient, but the OP was talking about whether we should be going down the path of immediate delivery of small orders.

I don't but I would start by understanding how the contribution process for Linux works now. You can at least understand what works now. Also, making a plan and making it public will help a lot. You should make it easy to communicate and gather like minded people.

It's a long term project. Remember that what Amazon is was created over 2+ decades. The advantage you have is that you can duplicate what Amazon is without having to try stuff that never worked out.
If it's mandated? Sure it could. I agree that it would be hard but people need to remember that the government represents us. If we want it, we can make it happen.
Would add that the MTA absolutely tracked swiped to credit-card purchases MetroCards, and would have to deliver those data to DHS if subpoenaed.

We have a process where we strip out the text of PDFs and shove in to elastic. The lambda starts by counting the pages and if it’s 250 or less it handles the job. If it’s larger than that we make the lambda kick the job to a temp ec2 instance which takes over the job. Our cutoff is around 250 pages but it’s highly dependent on text density.

It would be great if the lambda could handle running long. Id probably even be fine if the duration was punitive in that the longer you run over X time it becomes progressively more expensive. This would create a disincentive for using the service wrongly but would allow for oddball tasks.
It’s not misinformation. We don’t have major eruptions every year. And only 5% of annual carbon emissions are anthropomorphic.

I agree humans are responsible for increasing CO2, but not because of emissions. The earth should act as a buffered system, with utility of atmospheric carbon rising with carbon levels.

There’s another paper in nature describing how the mass slaughter of baleen whales broke the iron cycle at the poles. Mass whale poop fed the krill who are critical to fixing iron…the high iron krill poop is what feeds the plankton blooms. Polar plankton was critical to sinking excess atmospheric carbon.
I wouldn't say we're struggling to make ends meet. But we have to think about our budget more. Before we could eat out a couple times per week, give all the extra curricular activities our kids wanted to them, we were able to save for our kids' future college, and have a decent sized discretionary spending amount that we could spend on random stuff in any given month.

Now we eat out 0 times per month. Kids are limited to 1 recurring activity at a time. Our discretionary budget is basically $0.

The audit logging story sucks unless you give them more money to understand the data they are throwing at you. I had a problem recently that was entirely Amazons fault and resulted in a massive increase in billing. I'm still trying to scrape the data together that they want to issue a credit but it's a pain in the ass scouring through all the event logs because of all the internal stuff (do I really need a log entry every time an AWS internal process hits another AWS internal process for data?) polluting the output.
I feel like an x-ray machine might be a reasonable investment. It's not gonna hurt the body.

I think this happens with a lot of languages. The Rust implementations just get more eyeballs and press. Presumably because of the inherent memory safety + speed of (non unsafe) Rust.
Make it possible to set actual cost limits, not alarms.
Everything, from food to gas to toiletries to clothes to utilities, is more expensive.

And the middle class just gets beat over the brow with it. The highest taxes paid relative to income while not making enough to withstand inflation and rising taxes easily. And the lower class just gets slaughtered by these things. Meanwhile, the ultra rich literally just get richer.

Why do people try to come up with these byzantine git workflows?

> However, what was missing was wider visibility of changes being applied to the code.

That is what is said to have been missing. The solution was not to use tags or feature branches, gitk or other visualization tools that could easily show changes being applied to code from any point to any other point. It was to make up this "reverse pull request" Rube Goldberg scheme.
So that measures transfer speeds, but what about the rest of the things USB carries?

Here's an example of the data that cable testers can give you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XFbJD6RE4EY
Every other week my dad and some of his friends go out to dinner on thursday. Each time a different person picks the restaurant and buys. This week was my turn. I picked a nice steak house that recently changed owners and completely remodeled. It is local to where I live and has been getting good reviews. It was expensive and on the upper end, so the ~$350 bill for 4 people didn't really come as too much of a surprise.

One of us ordered steak and what surprised me most was that his plate came completely bare with just a lob of steak on it. Not even a tiny bit of garnish to decorate the plate with. I tried a bit of the steak and it was delicious, so maybe they just expected it to speak for itself, or was that a result of inflation? You tell me.
Why? Private citizens don't have the ability to put you in an interrogation room against your will, and aren't in the business of being professional investigators.

I get the argument that the best long-term solution would be regulating the data brokers. But if you want to do something right now that will actually restrict the police in your neighborhoods from using this as part of their jobs, this is a way to do that.

Not nearly to the same extent as the UK, but in the US, people judge you based on regional accent and vocabulary as well. An English teacher at my high school threw out the curriculum she should have been teaching, and just had us practice vocabulary and (remedial) grammar. She said that we will be consigned to the ghetto as long as we sound like that is where we belong.

My strong suggestion would be to avoid doing this. The compliance hoops the US will make you jump through if you are a significant US owner of a foreign corporation (the holding company) will hurt. You likely wouldn't owe any taxes, though you never know with GILTI, but you'd be spending at least 3-10k USD per year on accountancy just to file the books for the German company with the US most likely.

If you're planning on making your money in the US in any case, you might want to just set up a US holding company, or just holding the assets directly.

If you do anticipate moving to Germany any time soon, also be aware of the US expat/exit tax, which is a kind of capital gains tax that triggers when you become non-subject to US tax jurisdiction. I can't really explain it much in an HN comment.

Expat Tax: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/expa...

https://www.goldinglawyers.com/form-5471-filing-rules/

Also as an aside, make sure you file FBARs (as an individual) and Form 8938 if you still have German accounts/assets that meet the criteria (they are different).

The US is extremely mean to people with international connections. It's very difficult to remain compliant, but as a business owner you are significantly increasing the likelihood that you will be audited, so it's best to try to keep things as compliant as you can.

Get a tax pro. Anyone who has any connections with another country will need one, just to talk to if nothing else.

Again, I'm not a lawyer or a tax pro, just a sad dual-citizen who has been screwed by US tax compliance before...
To me this just seems pointless because an implementation in Rust is going to have similar features to one in C, Java, Python, or any of the handful of languages where Tor already exists... I want to rep another project that I think would be more relevant to Tor's goals. It is unfunded yet should it exist: would have the potential to transform privacy on the web. The project is https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor It's about implementing Tor in Javascript.

Why is this a good idea? Well, if you had a Javascript version of Tor you could quite literally import it on any website. It would be the easiest way to add privacy to millions of users sessions. It would be so ridiculously accessible and easy to use that it would probably lead to rapid innovation in the underlying tech. There is a lot of cool p2p tech already built into the browser that would be an amazing test bed.

Currently Google Chrome are also experimenting with a socket-like API that I believe would be a useful piece of the puzzle [for the project.] It just seems to me that marketing, networking, and being a tech normie is more important than actually having a good idea. So you see pointless projects like this get all the funding while projects like Ayms stay unknown and don't get any. Historical note: the hacker Aaron Swartz (tragically deceased - those who know... know. It was an awful waste) was involved in this project and suggested it as an idea. It's definitely a good one in my opinion.

> And that argument is almost always silly. All of these big companies are devoting resources all the time to reducing payroll. It is banged into their heads in MBA schools that "payroll is your biggest expense", and that is a bad thing. With that mindset they are always looking to reduce payroll.

Yes, this strawman you have created is a silly argument. The size of the payroll has nothing to do with it.

The decision to automate or not is decided by profitability. If a worker's wages is less than the cost of automation, then worker is not automated. But once wages exceed the cost of automation the worker will be replaced. So, increasing wages will lead to more automation.
I don't right now. Do you have any recommendations for what should I do?
An article like this can be written about almost every vice we have in our society.

Social media, student loans for example. What about fast food or alcohol?

Payday loans, corporate advertising, video game addictions, pornography addictions.

Does the government need to play a larger role in all these areas? It’s probably not hard to put together a compelling piece on the damage of bad parenting, perhaps the government should also have a larger role there? I argue it’s deeply irresponsible and even immoral to buy a flashy car if you can’t adequately provide for your kids, should we legislate that?

It’s not clear to me that gambling is any more dangerous than anything listed above.

It seems every week an article like this comes out and the immediate reaction is to legislate it out of existence, it’s terrifying to see how quickly people (especially a more educated audience on HN) are willing to legislate things they don’t like.
