I think that's a bit trickier. If Makita or whoever was forced to change their batteries, anyone with a big catalogue of their tools would be pretty miffed.

Also, I've mentioned this on hn before, there is already the Cordless Alliance, which does exactly this.

Sadly, there's only a couple of useful-in-a-mainstream-sense brands in there: Mafell and Metabo. The rest are very niche.

7) diversity (not just about immigrants — age, culture, political, philosophical, work style, gender, ability) has unspoken benefits beyond the ones that are usually touted.

The diversity of Silicon Valley is very enticing not only for companies who just repeat the word as a marketing buzzword while not necessarily comprehending what it gives them (a lot), but also for young engineers, male and female, in their social lives, and having a huge diverse pool of potential partners to meet and mix with is something that appeals to our strongest drives as humans, and no dreary place is going to compete.

It also creates a comfort zone for creative people of all types and backgrounds, not only for their work, but also for their life outside of work and the lives of their family members, some of whom may actually have opinions about where they want to live.
Maybe a better idea would be to force the company to emit new shares by some percantage of their total number of shares and transfer those to the state. That way shareholders lose a bit of value by dilution. And after enough fines the state will eventually reach a controlling majority ownership and can directly stop the company from further transgressions.
Yep. Definitely.

What really matters is how many dollars did they take from european citizens and businesses, and how many tax and fine dollars did they return.

Europe needs to make sure these tech giants get to keep just enough money that they don't pull out of europe entirely, but not much more.

Big fines are a start, but a better approach is taxation, since that takes away the regulatory risk for the companies.

Also, you are right that it should be social media. Nothing special about Facebook.
You are right that they can close them down whenever they want but 1000 users isn't even a drop in the bucket for their infrastructure. There's tons of discords with 100k+ members. I have one with 15k members and it's considered small by them (and I don't pay a cent).

That’s not at all what I said, but the article does in fact spend considerable time trying to establish the authors of the GDB as authorities and leaders of a legitimate and widely supported movement, right? It doesn’t really talk about how many legitimate and widely supported scientists disagree with the GBD and who point out correctly that it’s trying to trade real death today for speculative harm in the indeterminate future. The article seems one-sided and biased, and the GDB is speculation, whether it’s right or not. Debate over the right way to handle things is healthy, but people who cry censorship when their risky view is not adopted without question, and when real lives are on the line, are trying to sway public opinion using debate tactics. This doesn’t need to be an us-vs-them argument, attacks and hyperbole just add confusion to what is an actual hard to answer question that nobody knows yet.
What does that have to do with allegations of government censorship pressure?
Does that mount the FS into the WSL2 VM or into the Windows host? I'm guessing it's the former
When using one’s own lightning node it doesn’t matter if individual nodes on the path to your destination node keep logs, they can’t collect much information besides who the last and next node are in the route. The original and final destination (as well as any other useful payment information) are obscured through onion routing and the information you can learn from traffic analysis is limited and difficult to perform well.
Maybe but when you are CEO, the fact of "not knowing" should not protect you from consequences. If not jail, at least being banned from being a corporate officer in any capacity and relinquish your stocks/benefits/whatever so at least you remove the profit motive of fraud.

In no possible way, OP is just making grandiose claims without any shred of evidence.
and would prefer IRC

I too prefer IRC. For those that want the message history and scrollback that IRC lacks they can front-end it with things like TheLounge [1] or Convos. TheLounge uses a Redis cache for messages. And for the Slack-specific features, one could implement them either in IRC modules or IRC bots. UnrealIRCD [2] is very modular.

I understand why this sounds like a bad answer, but it's not half-bad in context.

Microsoft 365 absolutely is something of a buffet for companies/orgs with IT budget constraints and compliance-heavy objectives.

Just more stuff that sort of works and ticks boxes, starting with hosting almost everything in the EU for European customers. Compare that to Google, who flat-out refuses to guarantee EU-only hosting for Workspace customer.

All the bundled extra tools outside e-mail and the absolute core M365 Office apps just sit there, ready to use, easy to package and deploy to clients. All generated user data is stored in the MS environment every stakeholder has signed on to. From OneNote, MS Todo to Teams, everything's integrated without as much as configuring SSO externally.

A lot of what's included, Teams specifically, is shockingly bad. But these elements tick very important boxes. And very few people seem to care about the rest. UX isn't a compliance-mandated requirement.

I sort of know this, as I work at a company that has to punch above its weight in compliance, due to industry specific requirements.

If you need good single-sign-on for Slack, you end up paying the now Salesforce-owned company over USD 10/month, just for Slack. If you want decent data retention controls for Slack, you need their Enterprise Grid plan, the price of which is unlisted, but I've heard it's like USD 25/month/user(!). Just for Slack.

Same with Atlassian. The decent handful of dollars you pay per user only applies if you're ok with shockingly limited controls.

With Microsoft, you get a lot for just buying M365. You can get started building a soundly logged and controlled environment if you put everyone on M365 Business Premium (including desktop apps) and/or F3 licenses (web/mobile apps only) for about 20 and 10 dollars respectively.

Sure, you do pay through the nose for the really good logging capabilities with M365 E5 licensing, something close to USD50 per user/month, which is a lot, but it also includes everything from Defender antivirus, InTune device management, Teams telephony call-in support to a Windows Enterprise client license.

There's so much included with M365 in terms of compliance and bundle value that Microsoft absolutely can leave it absolutely terrible UX condition, so they do.
It’s been in the news here (w-europe) a lot and in conversations with colleagues! I also think it’s a worldwide struggle for self determination for women, especially in countries that are run or dominated by men.
probably not, but what needs to be dealt with is abuse of engineers in the workplace and prospective candidates. leetcode style interviews and any other interview style designed to wear out the candidate such that he will take any shitty offer should be illegal. compensation packages should be public. all of this can be resolved via unions.
Yeah this is the way to do it. Lunch is just changing my status to a taco emoji.
Even if in your heart-of-hearts you wanted to ban Trump, I don't think you'd do it then -- seems like bad strategy w/ the various legal challenges to the election still in play.
Ahh I see. Thanks for the clarification
Slack is a technically-inferior IRC clone with crappy web UI. How anyone would pay even $120 for it is beyond me.
I didn’t. The WHO did.

(But it’s a good point that the GBD’s goals and the WHO’s are the same, which is a good reason to ask why the debate has veered away from science and facts and is devolving into attacks and bad faith arguments.)
Think of the situation with Chinese non-Google phones. You install your favorite app and it crashes on launch because the manufacturer messed with the system APIs.

You run another app and it gets killed in the background, not receiving messages, because it's not on the list of your phone manufacturer partners.

This is the situation with degoogled Android today - a huge compatibility mess.
The lack of energy and weaker currency are such significant detriments that it's probably not safe to say it's in the same economic position to begin with.

Very dangerous for europe, but still noteworthy. Countries like China and Russia are in similarly uncomfortable positions and they're LOWERING their interest rates to try and stay afloat.
> E.g. On our ecommerce it takes less than 10 seconds to load the entire page (sub 5 for most pages), but then the user can literally do nothing till all hydration has happened and executed which is simply not a great experience.

I can't tell if you're gloating about this or agreeing that these numbers are unacceptable.

Let's say it's a product page. You should be able to have the product title, description, and images (in the sense of <img> tags) load with the page instantly. If you need to do dynamic stuff like have a T-shirt size and color picker which changes what options are available based on stock or something like that, that functionality can be added to the page after the initial load, but nothing that doesn't have to be dynamic should be dynamic.

Do you disagree with this?

It's not e2ee, but I imagine it's a tall order to ask for communities with thousands of members to support E2EE while also supporting message history (since you want things like old messages searchable) and complex mentions (ie. @role notifications) with maybe a thousand messages per minute being sent across all channels/topics.
>> "The faster you go in an atmosphere the more the atmosphere resists."

This is actually not even approximately true; like many aerodynamic phenomena, drag is super nonlinear in airspeed and not even monotonic, with a bunch of weird outcomes around mach 1. The first chapter of every aero textbook probably includes a variation of this famous chart [0], showing drag coefficient or sometimes drag force (estimated for some famous/classic airframe) as a function of mach number.

This is why prolonged supercruise can exist for airplanes without giant comical fuel tanks etc.

That said, your main point about CAD/physics definitely stands and is a good one; imho it would be unlikely to design and build e.g. a 10x better airplane than the Concorde today, even with all the fancy computers simulations etc.

It goes to the character of Breitbart.
Yeah, that does seem like a massive drawback. Even hypothetically with SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) from carbon capture that they’re spruiking, that’s still a huge amount of energy that could be used far more efficiently by not flying supersonic…

If it was more like 3x, that might make it work on a cost benefit in certain cases, but physics makes fools of us all it seems…
I guess I'm in the other boat.

It sounds pricy but not crazy unreasonable, if $10/mo for a core productivity tool (per employee) is too much, I wonder what that 1k employee business is actually doing. In the USA the median wage is $41,000/yr per employee, with tech companies paying far more, so like 0.02% per employee? Does Slack make an employee more than 0.02% productive vs trying to use IRC or Discord? I'd argue it's pretty obvious that it does.
That still doesn't make him unable to meaningfully retaliate, just unable to abuse Justice Department resources while doing so.

> people who put tribe and faith ahead of logic and reason

For many things, one man's logic and reason is another's tribe and faith. A red voter type might see blue voter types engage in all sorts of illogical policy behavior that, to the red voter, appears solely grounded in blue tribalism and orthodoxies that might as well be church doctrine.
basically agree as a US Citizen - let's think about the psychology of public policy just for a minute. When given an "order", upon hearing information that directs behavior that is not your choice or is new in some way, combined with restriction, inconvenience or most directly, feels threatening.. then a common personal reaction is to deny, disclaim, reject or attack the messenger and/or the message.

Public policy is much older than the USA.. people with skills and methods in this area are not new to this reaction.. So the playing field is set.

The age of Monarchy saw many obviously awful abuses of mono- or unilateral messaging.. "By decree of the King .. this that or the other"

Certain religious groups in association with Monarchy did so even more.. into the private lives of people. So a founding principle of the purposefully diverse USA was.. free speech. You cannot be sent to prison for making fun of the King nor publicly defending prostitution .. for example. But here it gets difficult.. Obviously strong minds and wills have strong reactions. The social upheaval politically in 20th Century Europe had a high cost socially.

But now, in the USA, we have credentialed experts in Science being silenced, not refuted. This is a new modern "low" and the use of technology to de-platform harkens directly back to ANATHEMA or ex-communication reaction.. it is very, very dark days for speech in the USA.

That makes sense. I agree that this is probably not cost-effective, but it could still be fun as a hobby project.

> Also it wouldn't be easy to keep something in contact with the capstan to extract its energy, since the capstan/pinch-roller pair has been designed to work with tape, not pulleys or gears.

The force could be extracted using a tape/ribbon similar to a real cassette tape, but one that loops around internal pulleys with a tensioner.

It would be probably not cost effective, but I would still be curious of the maximal power draw you could get from the capstan. I suppose we know the tape speed (2.4 cm/s according to Wikipedia), but we also need the maximal force the capstan can excess on the tape. I wonder if there are some specifications for maximal friction forces within a cassette tape to be conforming, so we can get a good guess at this.

2.4 cm/s translates to 41.7 mN / mW (millinewton per milliwatt). This is not counting for losses for converting the mechanical energy.

edit:

The force requires seems to be excessive. The lowest power draw I can imagine is ~0.1W for a BL device like this (probably generous), and then we would need 4N pulling force on the tape for that (still not counting losses), which is a lot. Anyway, this was a fun exercise.

> Pretending a rowdy protest at the Capitol is anything like that sustained political violence is deeply dishonest.

I'm not. You'll note that any violence that occurred during the 2020 protests was not intended to prevent the peaceful transition of power in this country.

Some it, like the Seattle courthouse riots, was clearly political violence. But the overwhelming majority of violence that did occur was not political violence -- most of it was opportunistic, and did not correspond in either personage or physical location to where the political protests were.
Who said it would?
Probably because it is the place most likely to be where you watch your friends live their apparently perfect lives without also being able to see their failings. Facebook is not the only place that provides that type of thing, but brand recognition in the headline draws attention.

Real life isn't without its own flaws, but the research shows an increase in mental health issues when social media is a factor. That increase is interesting, and worth studying, even if it is not the only place one can develop mental health issues.

You're entitled to that takeaway, but I disagree. I believe GCP's tendency to use caller-supplied names for resources is one of the single best features of the platform, particularly when compared against AWS's random hex identifiers.

Note that whether this creates collisions is entirely under the customer's control. There's no requirement for global uniqueness, just a requirement that you not try to create two VMs with the same name in the same project in the same zone.
Hi @tommoor

I work at Meilisearch so maybe a biased answer.

We do support other languages than English, it actually depends on what are the languages supported by our tokenizer https://github.com/meilisearch/charabia, so any language that uses whitespace to separate words(including English), Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Thai (Japanese and Thai might work a little bit less)

The fear and groupthink was so strong at the time that even pointing out the existence of dissenting voices was enough to get you labeled as a selfish grandma killer conspiracy theorist.

I'm glad in hindsight more people are willing to see the problems of groupthink in this period, but I do hope they look inward and hold themselves responsible too, and maybe next time not defer to authority and demonize others so willingly.
That definitely makes it less effective, no doubt. There are indications that real infection does provide better long-term protection against reinfection and serious disease on reinfection. Given long-COVID and complications from infection, that makes this option less attractive though. Then again, the suffering caused by the economic disruptions are still ongoing too, and likely will continue for years, so it's too early to say what hindsight will show was the right balance.
