You may be right - but does not seem like you were just asking out of genuine interest :)

You're making your own value judgements in your response which is fine. It just means you may not opt for it if you were in that situation. If both parties are qualified to evaluate the offer and make a decision to move forward, then I don't see what's wrong with it. Cases like I mentioned are closer to a private loan, which in America is often the only other way you could get the education you're looking for. In those cases, it can often make sense to move forward with an employer paid option instead.

The article, however, was about much more predatory ways of manipulating employees into staying to pay back poor on-job training closer related to typical employee onboarding than industry-wide training. I think we can all agree that's awful.
Twitter didn't want to sell to him in the first place. Musk's buyout offer took place in the context of a months-long drama about Musk being on the board. It's hard to look at the Musk/Twitter situation and say that it was driven forward by anyone other than Musk.

(I have no particular reason to believe Musk is in anything less than full control of his faculties.)
I this true? Wouldn't the IRS have something to say about apartments being classified as a business expense when it is used as housing in addition to "office space?"
My mother is in the early/mid stages of dementia, and she recently granted my father and I power of attorney. It doesn't have to be a "taking away" if they can be convinced that it's in their best interested. Admittedly ymmv, it helps that my mother is a retired psychologist. Also it's hardly a "solution"; it's merely a mitigation. In the months before we did it my mother had been scammed out of thousands of dollars multiple times. There are so many scammers out there targeting the elderly/mentally ill, it's only matter of when not if.
Yes let's throw it away because Linux is like Windows...just buy new stuff, 10 years is really to old.
> NOT a colony.... we're a territory

How did the US acquire said territory? And after they acquired it, what did they do to those who did not want their nation to be a "territory?" For those unaware, I'll give you a hint: it did not involve a hearty Socratic discussion followed by a game of badminton [0].

> If you think puerto rico becoming it's own country and missing out on the aid, support and ease of travel provided by the federal government you are either malevolent or naive.

This worked out rather well for the Hawaiians, who are currently having their groundwater poisoned by the US military [1], and their ancestral land acquired by mainlanders while they are made homeless [2].

In the recent non-binding referenda, and the bill to have a binding referendum which recently died in committee, there has been an option for "independence with free association" -- that is, an independent nation-state but with strong free trade and free travel agreements baked in [2]. Statehood is that, plus being subject to the whims of voters in Wisconsin, Idaho, et al. as to whether Puerto Ricans should be allowed funding for things. Keep in mind that there is no way out of this setup short of insurrection.

Given Puerto Rico has a distinct language, culture, etc. from the US, I can only assume we're deciding that the Westphalian model of the nation-state is not a consideration. Given this, I would also like to propose the following for statehood:

1. Korea

2. Vietnam

3. Iraq

4. Iran

5. Afghanistan

6. Somalia

7. Syria

8. Mexico

9. Haiti

10. Dominican Republic

These countries would surely flourish with the support and aid provided by the US federal government. And they were already, at one point or another, occupied by the US. So I can think of no reason not to annex them, short of naïveté or malevolence.

Yes, the one in which you considered FK constraints to be a waste of time
What does one do if they wish to see the actual contents of this crate? The web interface I'm looking at contains no hints at peeking inside, not even direct archive download links, nothing.

I can't believe that a good way to see what's inside is to make a rust project, add the crate and then go searching around the local filesystem.
There are degrees of appropriate and not all jokes rely on the joke being inappropriate.

For example, the Ministry of Silly Walks from Monty Python relies on absurdity and the belief the British government might actually fund such a thing.
I think people are missing the point here. The reason he is calling it more secure is because it is multi-platform. iMessage isn't secure if you aren't talking to another iMessage user. Apple's walled garden is a great strength but also their Achilles heel.

But of course, this is why I use Signal instead. If I'm going to use a 3rd party app, why not use one that is actually secure.
We do explicit redaction of logs forwarded to us so that we don't have to see any end-customer information. The redaction process occurs automatically in the customer's secure environment, so theoretically it is clean from our perspective.

This is indeed a very tricky process, but we have it close enough to make regulators happy. Most of our log information is stored in SQLite and XML, so we can do a lot of parsing magic to achieve determinism.
Landgren would dig through endless convoluted menus to find out what his children were doing at school. If working out what his children needed in their gym kit was a hassle, then working out how to report them as sick was a nightmare.

This seems very removed from my own school days:

- find out what the children were doing at school: you couldn't, really, the curricula were not public. You could ask your kids after school, but I guess most parents were not really that interested anyway.

- what his children needed in their gym kit: shorts, t-shirt, sneakers. Every time. What else could it be?

- working out how to report them as sick: I suppose parents called the school in the morning(?) but as teachers were usually unaware of the reasons for a child's absence anyway they might as well not have done that at all. After the first term, the schoolmates would just inform all other teachers that X was sick, assuming so from the absence. Then, when X came back to school, they would bring a hand-written note from the parents explaining.
Is this really what is passing as journalism these days?

Anyone who spends even a modest amount of time looking at incidents of justified use of lethal force can quickly determine that an officer having a reasonable fear of great bodily harm to themselves or others is enough to justify the force.

Often times this reasonable fear is justified by actions that take place in under a second. A furtive movement towards a waistband in the right context will almost always qualify.

Articles like this that push an unfounded narrative are simply pandering for clicks/views while failing to even attempting to understand/explain the motivations for such a tool are worse than intellectually lazy. I think they quite likely result in needless excess deaths.

It really isn't rocket science to imagine a lethal robot like this being deployed in a situation which results in deescalation, where the robot operator doesn't have to take a shot where an officer would have been forced to. And to suggest that an officer is somehow going to feel more inclined to shoot someone because its pushing a button vs pulling a trigger just shows a truly impressive amount of bias.

I'd much, much rather send in a lethal robot than an officer to a situation where a use of force is likely, and I really can't fathom any logical argument that putting an officer in there is somehow going to result in less use of force. Unless your world view is that every officer is just trying to execute as many people as they possibly can.

Just watch the 10 seconds here. Guy has stolen a car, walking away from officers, yells "shoot me" and "fuck you fuck you!", digging in his pockets, then quickly points at the officer in a drawing motion. If this was a robot POV instead of an officer, zero chance anyone pushes the button to shoot the guy. Why would you and deal with risking your entire career/life? You're still on the hook for all the consequences of unjustified use of force, and you have the time to wait and verify if the suspect has a gun, so you do. The officer on the other hand is put in an impossible situation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SeiCU55e3s&t=104s

I'd much rather have a lethal robot be put in that above situation than an officer, and I'd love to hear anyone explain otherwise.

(Also, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be "casual", not "causal": `“legal precedence justifying the causal use of weapons”`, but I ain't no english major)
Are we going to end up with a social network per celebrity at some point?
In my opinion there's no real discussion to be had on the things he is saying recently, so dismissing them as the rantings of a mentally ill man is the most charitable thing to do. If he's not mentally ill, then he's an extremely ill-informed anti-Semite who either believes outlandish things or pretends to for engagement.
Does engagement mean he is truly popular or that people are tuning into the spectacle? I think it would be true for most celebrities sliding into mental decline that their more deranged tweets would get a lot more eyes on them.
The tax-conscious kind.
Because at the exact moment the bomb was detonated he wasn’t a threat at that moment.

Maybe ten minutes before, perhaps ten minutes after.

But perhaps they could have cordoned off a wide area until he got hungry or thirsty enough to come down. That would have been a massive hassle for the city and difficult to ensure the city’s safety but you could always blow him up next time he starts shooting at someone.

On balance obviously it was expedient to blow him up at that moment but it’s not clear it was strictly necessary.

"Great Minds Discuss Ideas. Average Minds Discuss Events. Small Minds Discuss People."

I feel there's already disproportionate discussion here about a person and their cult of personality here. This doesn't feel quite in the spirit of HN. Even during the Elon Musk Twitter debacles there was still separate threads about the business dynamics and whether he is playing some kind of 4D chess. The attempts to quickly discredits Ye West's other accomplishment feels borderline like anti-blackness, except with the passive aggressive pretense of being concerned about his mental well-being. For example, Kanye West was part of the Fendi intern cohort which, as a former fashion design student myself, I find to be far more exclusive and prestigious than a Google internship (which I was offered). He's not just a musician but he's behind the scenes for making other established artists including Jay-Z and Beyonce, also billionaires. Even the title of the article being "Kanye West is buying Parler" feels disrespect when he said he goes by Ye, now. This is inconsistent with tech's community plight of respecting self-identification.

This is a community to talk about entrepreneurship, so let's talk about that. How are people jumping to the conclusion that he is being "scammed" without even knowing the terms of the deal? On that note, how much do you think this acquisition will go for? I noticed Parler has 3.3K ratings average 3 stars on the IOs App Store and Truth Social has 121k, averaging 4.5 stars. I will go out on a limb and question whether the 4D chess with Twitter and Parler will somehow involve Truth Social / DWAC.
Can someone please explain the point of a stablecoin?

from the outside it looks like an unregulated, impossibly opaque fractional reserve system.

I believe that's because Facebook gave itself some actual rules and then enforced them, regardless of who said it and who was the subject of the post, they treated all groups the same. Twitter or Reddit do not.
Rent may be the only thing the salary goes towards.
I've worked on various package management ecosystems for close to a decade now, and I wouldn't qualify this (if 'burntsushi had done it) as namespace squatting. It's clearly not an attempt to reserve a name for unspecified future use (or as a potential typosquatting target); it's the name of the binary installed by the crate and an obvious mistake for an installing user to make.

Even flat namespaces are virtually infinite; a couple of extra names that correct user error do not pose a serious exhaustion risk.
Could you elaborate on how they would impact normal users in a negative way? We rely heavily on CF so would be good to be knowledgeable about such things.
Exactly. The number of people who NEED to keep their transactions private for non-criminal purposes is miniscule compared to the number of tax evaders.

It pains me every time I go to Costco and I see contractors dressed in their work clothes pull out a wad of cash to pay for their groceries. They are effectively getting a 30% discount on the price I pay by not processing their income through the banking system and not paying their fair share of tax on it.
Isn’t it obvious you should leave that city if there are rockets falling from the sky? And Kyiv would be target #1 for a nuclear strike. Why don’t you run?
So who should be held responsible for their decision then? Who gets to decide?

Show HN: Asananas – Little tool to monitor resource allocation in Asana
Asananas helps you with your project management in Asana. It assumes that a single Asana project, e.g. called "Company Workstreams", is used for high-level project planning of your company or your team. Different projects/workstreams are reflected in Asana as tasks in the dedicated Asana project. These Asana tasks can be assigned to different people and have a start and a due date. Asananas helps you to visualize the allocation of your team members over time. Additionally, it helps you to sync your Asana tasks with Linear, a project management tool for software development teams. This is particularly useful for projects that are more technical in nature.

Original Morse telegraph was not done by tones.

The sounder emitted two clicks, subtlety different, for each key down/up event.

So, a dit would be two clicks with a short interval, while a dah would be two clicks with a longer (3x?) interval.

I think this study should ask founders their age. It has a huge impact, probably more than any factor they did ask.

I started my first startup at 20. We were bootstrapped, so we started at $0 salaries, and didn’t pay ourselves more than 1k/month for a few years. We all lived together somewhere cheap to keep rent low.

Now I have a family and stuff… it would be very hard to go back to living like that. So the range of salary options practically available to me is totally different, regardless of where (in the US) I live, how much I raise, etc.
Oh if you think taxes in general are illegal, go for it, but you should state that upfront instead of making it sound like you think this one is special.
My “paper programming” experience was about the same, but on the Vic-20 and Commodore-64. Only later did I realize the mnemonics could be coded directly, rather than me getting the decimal opcodes from a table and POKE-ing them into memory.
Can't you just run gitlab or whatever else out of a container in 5 seconds nowadays? Map a single volume and you are likely done. Its not that it's hard to self host that I choose to use third party git services (its clearly not!), it's just that the benefits of self hosting a git repository are increasingly few unless you have strict security requirements etc etc, and the free options are so good now. Running self hosted git is trivial in 2022 if you really need to, with many one-line container deployment options to choose from.

While it might be fun to self-host, a 5 dollar a month fee to run it is also not price competitive with the free or paid individual tiers at github.com for a single user too. I'd probably only do this if the git repo was being hosted on my home LAN.

> The Republican Party has openly stated their goal to "make Obama a one-term president"

That’s a very trashy hot take. Doing everything possible to demonize and replace a POTUS is American tradition dating to the Peggy Eaton affair and has contributed to a United States civil war. In recent times, Democrats objected to the Trump presidency, elected though he was, and sought to block his every move. In fact, when Trump announced the COVID vaccine initiative, the Democratic Party held congressional hearings decrying it as a dangerous waste.
I mostly fly United due to living in one of their hubs and have become accustomed to reliable service on well maintained planes. Every time I hear complaints about rampant delays or cancelations, I wonder what year they’re living in. But then I end up flying American and I realize it’s not the year, it’s the airline. Even in their biggest hubs, there is always delay-inducing last minute maintenance with no hot swap available. I just experienced this recently and was immediately reminded of this time last year when they made headlines about canceling a massive percentage of flights daily for months.

I actually much prefer AA’s website to United’s. AA’s may seem dated but it’s fast and the UI predictable. United’s feels like it’s fighting me.

I'm pretty good at stuff like keeping keys safe and personal op sec. But even I have issues where I need a key reset or some other escape hatch at least once every couple years. The level of care required to participate in the crypto world as you describe means it's effectively a non-starter for me beyond the occasional speculation.

Everything you said above is true and as a result crypto is fundamentally unsuited for the vast majority of the human population to use and always will be. Unless they begin to adopt the same safeguards that the current monetary system uses.
In a young startup, that’s easy: no dividends and no perks.
As Marcus Aurelius once wrote, all men suffer, but not all men pity themselves. Somewhat tangentially: Thomas Aquinas once wrote that if we experience a loss, we may allow ourselves to grieve for a while, and then stop. The danger of sadness is that we may indulge it indefinitely and sink into despair.

A person who wallows in such despair and self-pity would be well served by considering whether he is poisoned by envy, perhaps the envy of egalitarianism. To paraphrase Chesterton, at least the aristocrats of old had the satisfaction of feeling superior than others. The egalitarian man cuts down all those he fears are better than he is (typically by denying the qualities of others)!

The majority of our suffering, especially the spiritual and psychological variety, is our own doing. There are plenty of people born with all sorts of conditions who live happy lives because they've accepted the immutable and made the best of the cards they were dealt. If self-pity deserves anything, it is not compassion, but contempt.

Those two are not even remotely equivalent. Tax evasion through cash transactions is rampant, and there is very little actual reason for most law-abiding people to keep their transaction secret. Keeping a smartphone with your secrets locked is just good security.
In the event of things going nasty with export regulations, it appears we are left with FOSS UNIX clones, and ISO/ECMA based programming languages, or those independent from corporate stewardship.
I agree.

I think in your case, having someone cooperate into giving power of attorney is the best case. But in this case, my grandmother is still too proud to willingly give power of attorney to any of her children.

If she willingly gives it, I think we'll take her up on the offer. But she doesn't think she's been scammed yet. We likely have to wait until after she's realized how she's been taken advantage of before she's in the position to willingly give us power of attorney.

Forcibly taking it before that realization would be counterproductive.

If that was paid, someone got ripped off. There are plenty of companies offering GIV/GV type ratings in the $20-30K range.

If your business depends on picking up newer pilots "off the streets", then why would you not do the type rating in-house?
It's possible for something like Tether to be resilient against a run, if the coin issuer redeems at ~0.999 to 1.

The problem is not one of theoretical possibility, the problem is one of perverse incentives. Tether's operators have no reason not to go to Vegas and put all that money on a coin flip. Heads they win, tails their 'clients' lose. They'd be idiots to not do something like that.
Kanye makes me think of someone I knew. I knew a young woman once whose conversation was impossible to follow. She was a college graduate, and seemed intelligent. But, I think either her mind wandered, or else she simply lacked the capacity to reliably establish context in conversation.

I assure you, I really tried to make sense of what she was saying to me. She was beautiful, and I was interested in her. (I say this to emphasize how hard I was trying to make sense of it all.) But, in the end, I just could not follow. Maybe she had a kind of ADHD. But my point is that her "mental illness" likely went no further than that.

I can't follow Kanye either—though I am far less motivated to do so, by comparison. But, the guy is successful. I'm tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt that, like the young lady in my story, he may know what it is he's saying.
