Within the article there’s a link for the graph about robots by country, the OP seems to be blinkered but US workers.

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/american-workers-need-lots...

“As the only G7 country – the UK has a robot density below the world average of 126 units with 101 units, ranking 24th. Five years ago, the UK´s robot density was 71 units. The exodus of foreign labor after Brexit increased the demand for robots in 2020. This situation is expected to prevail in near future, the modernization of the UK manufacturing industry will also be boosted by massive tax incentives, the “super-deduction”: From April 2021 until March 2023, companies can claim 130% of capital allowances as a tax relief for plant and machinery investments.”

Not sure what it means by “As the only G7 country …” apart from the other six that us.

It seems that Companies just used cheap Labour when they could, as I’ve thought before the minimum wage has more benefits than just helping out the most needy, although need for more capital leads to you know what.
> In other words, is it the misrepresentation that's the problem, is it your need to scrutinize the subcontractors, or is it simply that the prime contractor isn't personally toiling sufficiently for you?

There seem to be quite a few comments specifically calling out the misrepresentation as the main problem. I guess we could speculate that the motivation is actually that they want the prime contractor to toil for them, but I dunno. Caring who exactly is toiling seems kind of weird and controlling, we should be generous to the community and not ascribe weird motivation to them if they've got some other perfectly reasonable reason to care.

I have gone and had a another look at EFF and the issue for me is they have a 'Donate' in the menu. I'm a OG coder and have been giving away my efforts for decades, I believe that $$$ is the root of all evil, so I don't have any spare cash. What about a BC list of IPV4 that is a referral WL, I'm not gr8 at branding and don't believe in marketing, so the best I can come up with is 'BEN - Blockchain Email Net' ???
A managed switch we use somewhere for something uses flash to display port status (I think?). I guess that part doesn't work anymore...
CAISO has a lot of awesome data available just waiting to be tapped. OASIS provides realtime price data, and you can see realtime outages. Everything is downloadable in CSV and XML format.

Unfortunately, OASIS is a really crazy legacy-application, so linking to it is difficult. If you launch OASIS from the "outlook" page, you can click on "System Operating Messages" to get a realtime feed of different messages from the system, for example.

Why do merchants not use it in the US? It's pretty much universal in Europe and many countries in Asia in my experience, and it would probably almost eliminate this type of fraud. Most of my banks give me an in-app notification in the mobile banking app that I have to accept, but some still use an SMS OTP.
My father was an elementary school janitor, so I have a different perspective than some. Something I've repeated often: "My dad worked for a living. I just play with computers."

Of course, in most offices in my part of the country, and I suspect in many other areas, is that the janitors are often Hispanic, with language being a common barrier. I wouldn't want to speculation about their immigration status, but knowing the economics here, I wouldn't be surprised either way. Unfortunately, it works out to be a de facto caste system, with the respect dynamic that accompanies.
> On the contrary, I find it immensely irritating when others change/delete their messages

And yet, you edited your comment. How irritating :)
You can't print political flyers without a press. Freedom of the press has never implied everyone is owed access to someone else's press or other services.

There are very narrowly tailored prior restraint on the freedom of association in the US, and outside of those companies have wide latitude. The New York Times is not obligated to donate column inches to the KKK, for example.

> I think a return to voluntary communication on a peer-to-peer basis

That's what we have now; the issue I believe you appear to have is you're not a peer. Most of us never were; how many actually ran their own ISP back in the day or actually entered into a traffic peering agreement?
Did you ever use IRC? I think about the conversations that went on in #freenode, and compared to the Discord servers I see today their discussions are absolutely sterile. "Off topic" channels in Discord servers tend to amount to rigorously moderated firehoses of memes and benign discourse, compared to IRC's loosely-attended miasma of porno, MTV music videos and 3-hour long conference talks. You might be able to argue that the signal:noise ratio improved over the years, but people's idea of netiquette certainly changed along with it.

Hell, don't take my word for it. Take a trip down the Linux emailing lists of the past few decades and compare them today. People would probably boycott Linux if kernel developers still fought like they did in the 90s...
Fogg spears two hundred creatures, in two trips, before returning to his boat... (Fogg has posted his video on YouTube, and it has been watched more than a million times.)

It's very disappointing that they don't link directly to this video[1], unlike the New York Times which always links directly to their sources and references. It seems like the New York Times is the only mainstream news site that's not absolutely terrified of letting their readers go to another website.

It sounds like a great way to earn the company of fellow psychopaths.

The ecological need is easy to understand, but turning it into a "sport" tells you a lot about the caliber of people we're living with. The people engaging in this activity are worse than poachers; at least poachers kill to earn a living.
In the US, sure. There are a very small number of employers paying employees in say Eastern Europe, Africa or South Asia the same as an American equivalent.

Hell, I worked for a Canadian company that paid Canadian employees 30% less.
I've read LOTR many times as well the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Tolkien's letters, etc. I really recommend trying out this show. It gets the heart of Tolkien if not the exact details.

This is only legitimate as a prank ("Can you teach my kid Chess?") or as part of some elaborate Ocean's-11-style Rube Goldberg heist. Also for James Bond if the fate of the free world is not at stake.
Sounds like a perfect application for an MVC framework. RoR is the most popular, but I would recommend Phoenix (and Elixir) for your project, specifically because you mentioned that scaleability was important to you, and Elixir has a very powerful concurrency and scaling model, as well as a bunch of other features from Phoenix that would benefit your project.
Indeed. Although it seems like AppleScript wanted to do something like that, to get apps to expose their nouns and verbs, which is a really great idea. Perhaps if Apple'd sweetened the deal with "universal shortcuts" more app devs would have bothered to expose this catalog. Who knows! And heaven knows Apple's scraping the bottom of the barrel of innovative OS features, so maybe this will happen at some point...and/or they'll wait for AI-improved OS that can provide the catalogue without dev involvement.
I would like to point out that at some point in this debate the goalposts were moved from a civil case to a criminal one, and the liabilities (and harm) are entirely different.
Fair enough points

From that perspective, I'd add: use graphs to tell the story. attach graphs of the system to business objectives. Make sure there's a solid communication around what the graphs mean (and what they don't mean, aren't measuring, etc).

All situation dependent, but solid data is something that's generally appreciated throughout the business.

I think the equuvalent that still produces meat is lab grown meat. Then you can just grow the parts you need to eat it, which should be about as efficient as it gets once it's all figured out.
I do not believe that there is any connection between the presence of KF and the ability of states to crush oppressed groups. States are not actually bound by their principles and they regularly break those principles to attack minority groups that they do not like. Whether people are gleeful, dispassionate, or upset about Cloudflare stopping business with a forum whose purpose is largely to harass people has zero influence on future defenses that various oppressed groups must make against oppressive regimes.

That would depend on the veracity of the negative reviews, many of which offer no substance apart from, “it’s too woke and not canon!”

I don’t think the show is incredible, but visually the show is pretty awesome, and I enjoy the story enough to continue watching so far.

There's no such thing as a natural right. A right only exists where it goes unchallenged or where there's a force to answer such challenges. That force can come from laws and the power of a state or it can come from someplace else, but it needs to come from somewhere. You can believe that you have the right to send any packets you like however you like, but if you can't defend that right and you don't have anyone who will defend it for you, you may find there are those who will ensure your belief stays as just that.
Well ... I switch between Qwerty and Dvorak. 2x the pain! That's one thing that I didn't foresee when learning Dvorak.

To use a shortcut, I need to know :

1) What keyboard layout am I using?

2) Am I using a Kinesis or standard keyboard?

3) What OS am I using?

4) What app I'm using?

Don't do it, kids. Now I'm so invested in Dvorak that I can't go back. It's an irreversible change.

It's suprising, but muscle memory somehow makes all of this work (most of the time). Sometimes I screw up horribly.
YC reject. > $40m raised.

Separately: I'm not saying this to denigrate YC or anything; they get thousands of (at least moderately) serious applications and probably 10x that that are nonsense, but the interview we got had interviewers that seemed pretty unfamiliar with the sales processes of b2b companies that sell to midmarket or enterprise. I assume the people who did the 10 minutes with us were luck of the draw. And major props for promptly responding and saying no thanks; lots of vcs we talked to fucked around with responses and/or two even ghosted us.

So, YC for dev tools or b2c stuff? Probably great. YC for sales enablement or tooling for midmarket or enterprise sales teams? It may be very hit or miss. (Just like any vc.)
I feel like there has to be a legal difference between treating someone like an employee and requiring, say, your contractor Bob to be the one signing in with their credentials bob01 and not his subcontractor Bill.
I don’t feel sympathy for that, because to me the very aspect of contracting is that you should be able to subcontract out the work. If they wanted me specifically to do the work, then they should have taken the time and effort and paid the taxes to hire me as a W2 employee. You can’t have it both ways.
Yeah I get this and it doesn't apply here. The payer in this case did not have the right to control only the result of the work which is the crux of the situation.

The law, nor the linked resource, stipulates that any 1099 relationship can be subcontracted out by anyone, let alone without disclosure. If that were the case the explicit option to hire onshore vs offshore on sites like Upwork would be meaningless, or a matter of arbitrage.
It absolutely matters which provider you choose, assuming the provider is big enough to have their own address allocations (which is not that big, really — plenty of relatively small hosting providers all over the world have their own ASN and address allocations).

My recommendation is to use a provider that doesn't host spammers. Hetzner is not great at that in my experience, but sounds like they've been fine for you. Smaller providers who know their customers and are able to pay attention to how their network is being used are generally quite good at making things difficult enough for spammers that they go elsewhere.

It costs me about 1 dollar a month (never more than 2 dollars) to host my website.

I use:

- VuePress

- Amazon S3

- Amazon Certificate Manager

- Amazon CloudFront

- Amazon Route53

For deployment:

- CircleCI

- s3deploy

It's a super simple (and cheap) setup. Just push a commit and the site gets updated.
Consumers don't stop and think about what they really need, or what the simplest solution to their problem is. They equate "more features" to "better." I think it was Joel Spolsky who said (paraphrasing) "nothing we did with our software ever created more new revenue than adding features."
Dramatiq is easy to daemonize which I like a about a lot but the schedule feature is not there and that's big drawback. I had to use my custom open source scheduler to schedule a function. https://github.com/rajasimon/beatserver
I didn't know the Paramount decree was ended, but I guess it was put in a two year sunset period two years ago so it is indeed gone. That's a shame, it's hilarious that the FTC doesn't think the studios could bring back the old studio system. Doing that might be the only thing that'll save mainstream theatres from Blockbuster's fate tbh.

We really desperately need a similar ruling for streaming services though.
It definitely loads faster than most EtherPad instances. But the UI is definitely reminiscent of an older version of EtherPad – for example: https://cit.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/etherpad.jpg

DO regularly shows up on RBLs, even "less aggressive" ones, because it's regularly a source of spam. Same with Hetzner.
I think it's great. Fit keeps them safely in Excel land and they are able to specify the tests but not necessarily write the framework.

Cucumber is getting them into a form of programming and that gets wacky. It seems too specialized.
> independent contractors are free to sub out work. this is the law.

I’ve never seen a contracting agreement that didn’t specifically prohibit subcontracting without the explicit written consent of the client. It’s not that it wouldn’t be federally legal, it’s that it would violate the specific contract with the client.
> Real hardware servers are not required to host email.

I agree, and said that in my parent comment.
There is something that changes when you get into how much things can go wrong. I've been explaining to my kids that we're taking care of living things. And living things have their own clocks and times that draw us out of ourselves in the care of them. It's kind of hardened me up to reality somewhat after having watched so many seedlings not make it and watching others not thrive. I've become for lack of a better word more ruthless in cutting short plants that aren't going to produce. There's some kind of mental change that occurred I want to say over this process. I've lost patience for the straggler, for the stunted, for the sick. I think there was some unrealistic mush in me before that was rooted in a completely unreasonable expectation for how things work. It was a very startling discovery to say the least.
You cited "British" grammar. That's all well and fine for you people, but here we use American grammar.

I think the answer on Windows is "No".

One could fork a subprocess, chdir()+socket() there, then pass the socket back to parent over another socket (opened maybe with socketpair().) Should work on any Unix-like which supports SCM_RIGHTS (which is almost everybody, apparently even obscure platforms like AIX, IBM i, z/OS). But not Windows, which doesn't (at least not yet, they may add it at some point.)

Makes one really wish there was a bindat() call:

int bindat(int sockfd, const struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t addrlen, int dirfd);

or maybe funixsockat:

int funixsockat(int type, int dirfd, const char * name);

which would combine socket() and bind() in a single call
The true test of character is how you treat someone who can't possibly do anything for you (anything big, I mean, not bringing your food).

As for the language barrier: a smile is pretty universal.
Not having the right to control only the result makes them an employee which in turn makes them eligible for benefits and so on. This is the specific difference between a contractor and an employee.

The problem is that you can't just have what are effectively employees but on a contract basis under law. It opens you up to liabilities, as Uber has been experiencing.

The closest I think you could get is actually contracting a PEO that takes the individual under employee status and assigns them specifically to your company under contract. Being an employee of the PEO means that they can in fact control these aspects of the job, and you aren't contracting them, you are contracting the PEO who subs out to them.
Amazing — even though you quoted me, you still managed to reply to something I didn't say!
Sorry, but I don't need someone to try to convince me that I have less rights than I do.
This is not a bad Tolkien show, it's just a bad show. Terrible writing, as in seriously, show this thing in schools to illustrate how to not tell a story and write dialogues.

Nobody would care about this thing if it didn't have the LOTR name.
He has done absolutely everything you can do to accuse somebody without actually crossing the line into directly accusing them. His meaning could not really be more obvious.

(My bias: I think Hans' analysis is pretty dubious, but if it were anyone other than Magnus I would give these accusations little credence. I think we who are not in the know should be giving Hans more benefit of the doubt than people generally seem to be giving)
Circa 2020, the evidence masks worked for medical professionals was pretty unambiguous, but the issue with masks is think about taking them on and off. You practcially touch your hand to your face every time. Because of this, it has always been less clear that John Q Public pulling their mask aside to talk on the phone or sips a cup of coffee with their reusable mask is doing themselves or anybody else any favours.

I think though that it’s extremely obvious that it’s very likely the general public could take certain actions to make the efficacy of their mask use similar to that of medical professionals, but the interpretation of the data early on was simply “the general public shouldn’t use masks”. This was obviously nonsense, and I interpreted the data as meaning I should carefully use masks.
Doesn't seem like a counterpoint to me. The provider you're describing isn't clueful. A clueful provider pays attention to what's happening on their network and knows how to make themselves an unattractive host for spammers.
Discussions about how this will fail to be productized as a cloud service are premature. There are many, many ways to do SAAS. If the benefit is there people will find a way to use it.

In any case the problem is moving data, then the compute side. If Tesla is really going to do it they have someone working on that already. SAAS is not rocket science, and the issues are well-known.
I host all statics (JavaScript, css, images, etc) from the same CDN host.

I've used various options over the years. Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Firebase Hosting, etc. They're all fine.

If you're in AWS land already, Cloudfront is Amazon's CDN and it's a great solution too. Cloudfront specifically can sit in front of S3 buckets so that assets get cached.
>KF relentlessly attacks individuals

This is just untrue for the most part. Some users of KF have harassed some people, sure. But the point of the forum has never been that. I will however concede that the nature of the forum tends to attract such people.
I don't really understand the relevance here. The claim above, as I understood it, was that older queer people would be more cautious around supporting actions taken against unsavory speech because they remember being viciously targeted via those same means and fear them being used against their community once again.

I'm saying that I have zero confidence in the state or broader society to actually hold consistent principles when it comes to the treatment of oppressed minorities and that defending KF won't help one iota if the state decides to attack gay people and that the older generation of gay people know this very deeply since their original oppression by the state was not done in accordance to it's supposed principles.

This has nothing to do with internet forums of the past being full of unmoderated noisy content.
No, the accusation is that the sum of signals doesn't look good.

It's binary. Either he did cheat today or he did not. If he did not then who cares what his post analysis looks like after drawing the #4 player in the world and being +3 at some point. The only reasonable analysis is to declare him a cheater today or discard the interview. To say that the interview would point to him cheating vs Magnus but not today is nonsense.
