Well, I have given you a definition that has been working quite well in Germany for decades.

Which is why nobody is proposing to ban "unpopular things".

Can you name a single person that "woke mob" has killed? Because I can name dozens upon dozens of people killed by people radicalized on the internet through things that could be curbed by sensible laws such as the one I referred to.

> They don’t like free speech and I guarantee you that if we implemented hate speech laws people will fight to enshrine their ideologies into law.

Yeah, and others will fight to have the laws differently. That's called democracy.
Same, a bit of time invested upfront figuring out all the different tech: dkim, spf, failover smtp, letsecrypt certs (I am using IIS so not trivial plus you want to use those certs for smtp/imap too), log scanning and ip banning, etc.

But not accessible at all to non technical people.
I think it's silly too, but we (not TikTok) have some $company_$sensiblename tables. I think it may have originated with Django, there being a single Django 'app' when it was first set up, with the name $company; Django then uses that as a prefix for all the tables it creates. (Not suggesting TikTok ever used Django, that's just my suspicion in our case. Point is, it looks weird but it happens.)
To anyone who thinks this is obvious hyperbole: please look into the causes of the Rwandan genocide. Specifically the ahistorical division of the local population into two competing tribes by the Belgian colonial government. Divide-and-rule is a long standing tradition because it prevents the colonized from unifying and rising up against the colonizers by giving one group preferential treatment over the others.
This is mesmerizing. Bravo!
6.5M people died you know unlike the flu. Describing lockdowns as devestating when we barely did any here in the states doesn't make much sense. Virtually all decrease in commerce was down to people not wanting to hang out together and sicken each other.

I used the extra time together with my wife to make our relationship better because we spent more time together and started doing walking for exercise. If you became a fat friendless alcoholic with a failed marriage that is completely and totally on you. Nobody made you trash your marriage. Nobody made you have that drink. Nobody made you eat that twinkie. The sooner you take responsibility for crashing your life the sooner you can get back up on your feet.
I used to have a Quake map screensaver that rendered the BSP files live. It was great, but with today’s open world games, it could be epic.

But then, why would the company agree to an increase in compensation if OP moved elsewhere?

This is the point that doesn't make any sense. If it costs them X in OP's locale and 2X in EU, the company should kick them out if they decided to move and replace them with someone in the original locale, or maybe someplace even cheaper.
That would be nice as a first approximation, but a bit more work went into it:

I would argue that is not even the case. My and many grandparents have been farmers & factory workers which ment very hard and long work and your livelyhood depending heavily on external factors. Sure some would acquire wealth that is unrealistic today with 'simple work'. But my generation grew up hearing them whining about their hard lives.
In terms of absolute compute performance per chip, perf per watt, and perf per die area, it looks like Dojo matches or surpasses the best GPUs of today: «Tesla claims a die with 354 Dojo cores can hit 362 BF16 TFLOPS at 2 GHz»

For comparison, the fastest single-chip GPU today is the AMD MI250X which has 220 "cores" (compute units) totaling 383 BF16 TFLOPS at 1.7 GHz, and that's a monster 560 watt chip.

The Dojo chip is likely under this 560 was TDP, so more efficient. And Tesla provides roughly the same compute performance, but the chip is arrayed in 61% more cores, meaning it is far more suitable to handle branchy code. Also Tesla claims the die measures only 645 mm², compared to 1540 mm² for AMD. So the wafer fabrication cost is roughly half(!) of AMD's!

If Tesla has truly managed to build that, I'm impressed.

Edit: I missed that Tesla claims "less than 600 watt" per chip. So we know its comparable or less than AMD (560 watt).

Edit 2: 25 dies are packed on a single system-on-wafer. That's 15 kW on a disc of 30 cm (12 in) of diameter. Sheesh! That must require an ungodly liquid cooling system!

> their multiple year old account history for that account will be part of your credit, bringing up the average age

Sorta. The most popular credit score (some version of FICO) ignores authorized user accounts so this doesn’t improve AAoA nor credit utilization. I guess too many people were taking advantage of this hack back in ~2012 lol.

I suspect it’s still useful for initializing a credit report so you don’t get stuck having to verify your identity/address and improves your odds with the bank’s internal risk assessment.
Zstd achieves considerably higher compression on some kinds of data with little to no preprocessing. LZ4 hits a compression ratio ceiling at some point - algorithmically, it's "half of Zstd" (only LZ match/literal encoding, no entropy encoding at all).

Read the LZ4 format, it's very simple and educational, I'd say beautiful. It fits in half a screen of text.

Depending on budget,

A Nikon FM or FM2 for a fully mechanical camera with a light meter.

A Nikon F301 for an overlooked, very cheap but still really good camera.

The Canon A/AE-1 and Pentax K1000 get brought up a lot and are now surprisingly expensive for what they are, there are much better cameras out there for less but that don’t have their name brought up as much.

This is a huge rabbit hole to go down with how many cameras got made but if in doubt seek out someone in person and try to use one before you buy it!

Six months later, the person who replaced me as development lead very memorably and repeatedly accused this architect of being a psychopath in a senior meeting.

Not to mention that your email is tied to your online identity in many ways when mostly every account you make asks for an email to use as your username, verify your account, or recover access to your lost account.

Handing over control of your online identity like that to a centralized third party when you could be cut off at any point [insert here any recent news about people wrongfully losing access to their Gmail account and not getting it reinstated] seems like the wrong solution to be allowed the privilege of sending email.

I guess the very least we could do to keep some control is to own (read: rent) your email domain you could move elsewhere in case you lose access, but then you gotta make sure you don't also lose access to your email domain.

Is there an actual solution to all of this?
My experience was almost exactly the opposite of yours.

I had covid early this year. It was the worst I've felt in the last 10 years. Waking up at night with 10 minutes of dry cough was one of those few moments when I wonder whether this is how I'd die. Luckily I didn't.
> Location-adjusted pay for remote US workers is indeed a social norm

That's backwards, though. It's a social norm because it's the most workable solution. Firms that overpay salaries (defining overpay as paying far above the market rate in any given region) will not be able to afford as many employees / highest quality employees / as much marketing / as much downturn stability or runway / as much other investment as their competitors, so they will lose on average.

And this makes sense. The same forces that drive salaries up (competition from other employers willing to employ the same person) also drive it down. You can't only have upside.

One thing that has come out of the pandemic is people became a lot more diligent about washing hands and keeping away if they are visibly sick lest it be covid - not to mention everywhere being less crowded in general. While it isn't enough to stop the spread, it has limited the circulation of the common coughing and sneezing diseases.
Maybe, and I hope so. There are eleven seats on the board (just five of those seats are "community-and-affiliate-selected"), and as you say, two seats are currently up for grabs.

But even if the community manages to put someone like Kunal, Mike or Michał onto the board, it's one or two people against the inertia and groupthink of the nine incumbents, none of whom have said anything publicly to indicate their thinking has changed.

The WMF board had the option to add another community-and-affiliate seat this year and chose not to, because they did not like the idea of "on-boarding" three new board members right now.

You could also interpret that as being motivated by a desire to reduce the amount of change new members might bring.

Mostly. But then you get the "click the link in the email within 10 minutes" problem. There's also a non-zero number of "our mail didn't get through first attempt, oh well, give up" people. From running GL on my servers over a couple of years, it mildly cut down spam (on top of blocklists and fail2ban) but I'm now wavering over whether it's worth the hassle.
If you blow a belt or one of another thousand things go wrong, and the engine quits, then there’s no power to drive the steering.

In a relatively large vehicle - say, a VW Amarok - power steering provides significant moment on the steering that is immediately and unexpectedly removed when motive power is lost. While the car is arguably controllable, I was shocked at how difficult it was for me to maintain directional control when it happened to me, and I’m a pretty big guy.

In fact, in my case I just stalled it. The twin turbo 4cyl engine had a very steep power curve and it was easy to pull the clutch at just the wrong RPM, before the turbo kicked in. Especially if I had been driving something else. So - there’s a failure mode triggered by simple ergonomics. The combination of an unexpected stall during acceleration also presents a heavy driver workload, as I discovered more than once.

The brakes are also powered by the engine and it requires very significant additional force to stop a large car whose engine has just quit unexpectedly. I’m not sure that everyone who drives such a vehicle could recover if the failure happened, say, at a busy intersection.

All I’m saying is that we shouldn’t be nostalgic about ICEs. There are far more failure modes for them, all of which can lead to engine failure and subsequent controllability issues.

Buggy Blank Identifiers in Go
Lose sovereignty over occupied territory? I'd imagine what triggered your extreme reaction (and some others') is the bit about Israeli committing crimes against humanity in Palestine. I'd argue the article went too softly on this matter. The ruthless acts committed are clear under the sun and we've all seen videos ranging from unarmed protestors being beaten in the streets to IDF guards throwing live grenades to red cross vehicles, settlers invading civilians houses as they're forced to leave and so on. To question the morality of providing such entity with additional resources (that Israel can easily develop on their own thanks to their massive focus on weaponization of technology) that will further worsen the apartheid in place is entirely legitimate. There shouldn't be an exception just because it's a more western-aligned entity.
> criminals, cannot get warrants and cannot typically work directly with the phone companies.

Colour me skeptical on the latter. What kind of criminal is tech savvy enough to want location data, but can't think of either using a fake business to buy the data (if it's legally allowed to be sold by the phone company), or bribing a phone company employee, or becoming / having one of your criminal team become an employee there, or commit another crime such as hacking into the phone company to steal data, or...?
The way I see it, transferring a domain is still a business transaction. The ownership situation of domains are weird and complicated because of the intermediate registrars that are necessary for delegation reasons.

The only way I can think of to stop and drop fraudulent customers is to give them a time window to counter the claims and then drop the domain the second that window expires. Helping the customer move registrars after they've been caught is not a great look.

Preferably you'd have a human verify the situation before marking a domain as fraudulent but the automated nature of digital fraud can make this untenable and people would be more pissed off if Cloudflare wouldn't do something about the fraud they're able to identify automatically.

The procedures themselves are what I'm fine with butI have trouble with the lack of support American tech giants will give you once an automated system flags your account. They stop answering the phone, stop taking emails, and will do nothing until your appeal date expires, knowing that you don't have the resources to sue them.

Stripe and Cloudflare are commonly mentioned here for their lacking support and transparency once an account gets flagged (though relatively often the Stripe people get flagged for good reason, but still) because this place is the only way people can get support. These companies treat you like they treat the rest of the web, as a threat needed to be screened and monitored, blocked at the earliest sign of caution.

I hope people learn to not trust these huge cloud providers with tiny or unwilling support staff instead of ignoring their better judgement and posting here once they get blocked. We're all perpetuating a system of failure because we want the cheap speediness of fully automated systems and accept the risk of random bans. You can get a domain and a server provisioned in minutes or even seconds at the risk of losing your business down the line and because this rarely ever happens to innocent people we pretend to think it's fine.

Perhaps my perspective on this is a little skewed because HN is a place where many people dream of setting up a company to do the exact same thing, calling it "disrupting the market" and making bank rather than setting up a sustainable business with customer service at the forefront.
