How does arresting people who actually show up to do the work help protect against scammers?

I'm all for going after scammers and prosecuting contractors who take dangerous shortcuts. But going after people who do a flawless job because they are missing some local permit is not going to help anyone.
Yes, I am aware, but the fact is those laws are put in place (and could be removed) by elected officials. If the resident of SF where so angry about the situation, they could vote against it.
everyone, except Reason, knows that scammers descend on disaster areas. who knows if this guy is gonna repair roofs to code? or just rip off desperate families. i lived in florida for 20 years, beware the post-hurricane “helpers”
pay in advance and disappear. I'm glad Florida is taking requirements for licensing seriously.

How does one follow from the other? Did the scammer have a valid license from another state? How does refusing to honor licenses from other states have anything to do with "seriousness"?
Couple reasons.

1. We want you to be able to get HTTPS certs for these too without having to manage multiple names, but HTTPS cert names go on the CT log. See https://tailscale.com/blog/tls-certs/ and https://tailscale.com/kb/1153/enabling-https/ . So having your email address in your DNS name (and thus the CT log) from the old beta.tailscale.net forms isn't great.

2. We want you to be able to have multiple separate tailnets per org/account in the future.
I sometimes marvel at how few people worked on various pieces of commercial software in the 90s. You'd have 4x the headcount and still take twice as long, today. And it'd probably be webshit instead of native because "productivity matters more than performance".
There's a certain class of engineer that wants the freedom to build whatever, take however long it takes, and have the broader organization react. "You can market the feature whenever I'm done" is, unfortunately, not going to lead to success for the org as a whole.

Oh, ok. If you go with the definition that says that AI is what tries to solve any problem that is still not solved well enough to be useful, then yes, useful software doesn't have it.

AI is a pretty useless name, anyway. Since no two people will agree on its meaning.

Anyway, I doubt people tagged what products are most sold on good weather. That's the kind of thing that is almost always discovered by statistic analysis. (We call some statistic analysis "machine learning", while others that do the exact same thing we don't.)
Nothing human makes it out of the near future. Can what’s playing you make it to level two?
The best FOSS mail apps I came across, are

1.) Evolution (Gnome / Linux)

Although it may not be the shiniest star, it has a huge feature set and works pretty good for me.

2.) Mailspring

It is a pretty good Mail.app Alternative, but I did not like the restrictions and the user interface was pretty unpolished, although pretty Mail.app-like

The most annoying part on all Mail apps I tested was the search. It was mostly unusable, if you have ever used macOS Mail. The search is so much ahead of every other mail app I tested (and I tested a ton) that I don't know if it is just hard to build it or no one ever tried to rebuild the Mail.app search. The only app that was pretty close was mutt/neomutt, but although I like terminal interfaces, in Mail I often use Mime features like bullet lists, tables, Image previews and other stuff that is hard to do in Terminal UIs.

I knew I could, I knew I should, but I could never do. I could only watch myself, never participate.

It's really validating to have words like "executive dysfunction" to describe this pattern, as opposed to "lazy", "tired", and "unmotivated" - which are all I had growing up.
Yes, that's why we came up with the random-hex.ts.net domains and the tails-scales.ts.net domains. This makes less publicly recognizable things like `shark-harmonic.ts.net` get put into the certificate transparency log instead of something like "mycorporationname".
Florida should get their act together with universal licensing recognition. This is the best way to prevent scams. It maximizes the number of reputable contractors, who have something to lose if they abuse customers.
How much of the drug poisoning in the 80-85 and 85+ age brackets is recreational (fentanyl, too much Ecstasy, etc.?) I don't associate advanced years like that with heavy partying.
The toolchains dropped support for the i80386, not the OSes directly.

Intel, as they're known for doing, half-assed many things. Even though the 32 bit mode on the i80386 wouldn't be compatible with i8086 real mode and they could've made vast improvements, they decided to make just a mediocre 32 bit CPU, since they figured most people would just be running it as a super fast i8086.

The m68020 in 1984, by comparison, was much more forward thinking. It had atomic operations, could exist in a multi-processor environment much more easily than an i80386, and it can still run a modern OS (NetBSD) in 2022.
The website calls it the Voys app but I think it's actually called Vialer: https://github.com/open-voip-alliance/vialer It's the only full app in their repo and it fits the description they gave on the website.
What should be prosecuted:

- missing liability insurance

- scamming people

- work that doesn't meet code

What gets prosecuted:

- work that's done without necessary license
In theory that's not necessary. Contractors are supposed to be licensed and you can research any complaints against them through the licensing board, BBB, etc. And cross-referencing with neighbors etc already happens in the form of referrals.

If people aren't going to use the current resources, those same people won't use the new one.

It's very common to fail interviews these days, you make it sound rare. Employers are looking for any possible reason to say no, and many have unreasonable expectations. Often choosing based on who memorized the most random facts (from an unbounded set) asked today.

Your third paragraph is good probably on target however.
well, it isn't really true. you should be able to estimate a project within an order of magnitude of time in the vast majority of instances. Think of

1 day

1 week

1 month

3 months

6 months

1 year

3 years

if you had a random project, do you think you wouldn't be able to pick the most likely estimate and be within one level above or below? so "i have no idea, it'll take as long as it takes" is not really true.

May be I'm missing an elephant. Right now I'm client of hoster. This hoster provides openstack API to create VMs, disks, etc. I'm using that API to provision my infrastructure including kubernetes.

What is supposed replacement for OpenStack? Some proprietary API glued with PHP and bash scripts? Who will write terraform provider for that API? Not me, not hoster for sure.

Am I supposed to leave that small hoster and move to AWS? We don't have AWS data center in my country and I have obligations to keep data inside borders (that's not even saying that AWS like 5-10x more cost).

The only realistic alternative to OpenStack is to throw away terraform and infra gitops and do everything manually. That's huge step backwards.
After years of ubuntu... I went back to Debian.

Who competes with Walmart in the USA?

Here we have:
Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, M&S.

In the UK nearly all towns have at-least 2 supermarkets, and most towns have another 3 within a 20 minute cycle/drive.

The fundamental problem with Amazon is as with Standard Oil.
They have no competition, and they have no separation between their logistics/warehouse business & their marketplace. Thus, they are using their delivery business and warehouse arm (which in itself would not be sustainable) to ward-off competition. Just as when Standard Oil bought the railway companies.
Why wouldn't they? I guess I don't see why the question needs to be asked. There are more interesting questions to be asked about how GitLab makes such decisions.

If there's a feature that is mostly only valuable to pointy-haired bosses, then of course there will be people who want that feature to be available for free. But such a feature should be behind the paywall. It will end up funding features outside of the paywall, so the free users have a reason to be happy about it being behind the paywall.

Of course there will be lots of things in the middle, and people will disagree on every aspect of the evaluation. And people will argue that something should be free because it's good for the community when in fact they want it to be free because they don't want to pay for it. Such is the nature of the balancing act that GitLab signed up for, and I respect them for it.

It's a relatively new spin on the ancient balancing act of value creation vs value capture. TANSTAAFL
The weird thing is, the nature of their business does not imply any significant computing needs. As a rough estimate they have served on the order of 1 billion customers, so that suggest they need 1 billion, multiplied by some factor of cruft, database rows. Depending on the cruft factor that should be somewhere between easily fitting on a single disk, up to a few of them. Add in redundancy and backup and we have still not filled a rack cabinet.

Maybe all those computers are doing something that someone thought was important, but it is not serving the core business.

They're not asking for multiple uses of the same profile. Assuming one profile, then the old image would keep being used until firefox shuts down entirely, and once that happens the new image would be used the next time firefox is opened.

You don't need to serialize or reload anything.
There are other encodings, yes, where any byte string is valid within that encoding. The Unicode encodings (UTF-*) don't have that property, however.

The SQLite docs say this about text values or columns, though it's a bit muddy which is which. (But it doesn't really matter.)

> TEXT. The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE).

But it's the best reference I have for "what are the set of values that a `text` value can have".

E.g.,

sqlite> PRAGMA encoding = 'UTF-8';
sqlite> CREATE TABLE test (a text);
sqlite> INSERT INTO test (a) VALUES ('a' || X'FF' || 'a');
sqlite> SELECT typeof(a), a from test;
text|a�a

Here we have a table storing a "text" item, whose value appears to be the byte sequence `b"a\xffa"`¹. That's not valid UTF-8, or any other Unicode. The replacement character here ("�") is the terminal saying "I can't display this".

Presumably for this reason, the Rust bindings I use have Text value carrying a [u8], i.e., raw bytes. Its easy enough to turn that into a String, in practice. (But it is fallible, and the example above would fail. In practice, it gets rolled into all the other "it's not what I expect" cases, like if the value was an int. But having a language have a text type that's more or less just a bytestring is still regrettable.)

¹borrowing Rust or Python's syntax for byte strings.

Is the bespoke robot with a service contract from a for profit company cheaper than someone you are paying $12/hr? That's the equation here. Lines are long, but that just means you have to pay fewer bartenders, and people will still wait in line anyway. Sometimes these venues aren't even mixing drinks already. They might have cocktails premixed next to the beer taps.
It has blown me away too. There was a time where it seemed like the default "devops" strategy for startups was to use Heroku. Developers could spend all their time working on code. Worked at a startup a few years ago. We had 2 devs, and one devops guy building out Kubernetes, Docker, running on Aws. Had to constantly spend me time with him troubleshooting why this or that thing wasn't working rather than writing application code. We had like a 100 concurrent users.

Now I am working at a large org for an internal application. There is an ops team I push code to github and Jenkins runs the CI and deploys it to a dev environment. I push a button in Jenkins to deploy to production. In two years there has been one ops related issue where I had to bump up the memory limit from 2GB to 4GB. There is a single server and a database. Setup works fine for a few thousand concurrent users. My skills are in development and understanding business reqs, not mucking about in config files. There are people that are good at that and enjoy doing that, let them handle it.
> But everything in the brain is quantum at some level, because all of reality is quantum.

This is very poor reasoning, to be frank. By this logic, every computer is a quantum computer. Which is a categorically useless distinction.

> It slows down, along with the rest of the economy during recessions, because it, like everything else, is driven by the same market forces.

Tech has been the darling of late exactly because it hasn't followed the general economy. In 2008, when virtually every other industry was about to sound death knells, developers were making bank producing apps. Similar story through the pandemic, when people were locked out of work during lockdowns tech was making a killing selling them things to do with their free time. Not having a good reckoning like everyone else only makes it appear more risky as time marches forward as it is assumed its day will come.

> but cloud providers are about as dissimilar from the fartapp as you can get.

I can't imagine Firebase, which is supposedly the fourth largest cloud provider according to a recent article here, is used for anything much beyond fart apps. As the fart apps die, where does that leave their business model?

Providing tooling to the gold prospectors is a good business to be in... Until people stop prospecting for gold. Firebase is Google at the end of the day, but if that division dies, that's still significant.
Tailscale's certs are 1-per-machine so if you want to do any kind of SNI-based certificate handling, you're out of luck and need to drop back to real public certificates anyway.
It breaks things and you have little control over it.

It replaces default search domain with its own.

Also it does't keep your DNS servers in your resolv.conf nor tries to forward your query to them when it fails to resolve it.

So, you may experience a loss of connectivity for short hostnames w/o tailscale (host instead of host.my.domain) or get unnecessary overhead for TS-enabled hosts within your local network.
>There's a huge difference between "I will not assist this entity" and "I will stop other people from assisting this entity".

On one hand - exactly! This is why I hate that Amazon stops me from using Parler, instead of not using it itself.

On other hand - my kids faced much less obstacles than Parler:

1. They are adults, they could have purchased their own internet connection.

2. They are Russians, they know how to use VPN. Theoretically .

They are just busy people, they could have coped, but would have some extra unnecessary troubles to overcome. And just a possibility of these small extra troubles caused a lot of worrying. (Parler failed to cope, they were too reliant on Amazon services or something, so unprofessional).
What a strange article. It begins with some interesting stories of emigration to the U.S. (For a better version, read the chapter in Making of the Atomic Bomb called "Men From Mars" about a bunch of smart Hungarians that came to the U.S. and changed history). Then it takes a strange turn into a jumbled recitation of grievances and doom and gloom scenarios about the U.S. without citing much evidence. I suspect it's written for people that share the author's intuitive beliefs on these topics.

For example-- "Conservative family-oriented religious people like Sikorsky and Seversky have achieved pariah status"--citation needed. This is a common Fox News type talking point and reflects a belief on the part of many Christians that they are being persecuted within the U.S. But of course U.S. business and politics is still very much dominated by heterosexual Christian-identifying people with families. We've just taken steps to reduce persecutions of those that don't fit that mold.

This makes it hard to see this as anything other than an unfocused rant.
I was wondering why Twitter does not tell account owners what exactly violates their Twitter Rules. Isn't this exactly the same as the very censorship of those totalitarian countries: they tell you break some rules but they never tell you which rules, so you're forced to self censor, and they can interpret their rules however they like.

It is this kind of behavior that make me lose my trust with Twitter (or YouTube or FB, and etc).

So, this is a basic labour rights question: How much say does the employee have in the way the business functions?

Your attitude seems to be "if you don't like management's decisions, you never should've worked there in the first place". It's clear your view is that management runs the business, the workers work, and they should not, and do not, have any meaningful say in the way the business functions.

And if you want to run your company that way, hey, that's your call.

But that's not the only way to run a business. Hell, this attitude is why labour unions were invented.

And given industry-wide labour shortages, I suspect you'll find that labour is a lot more empowered, and many people will opt to flee for another workplace where they have a greater say.

Again, your choice. But with that choice comes consequences.

As an aside, this comment:

> You're being paid so you can't claim to be outraged at being told to work.

Is a pretty strong indication that I'd never ever want to work for you.

Study after study shows that monetary compensation is not, in and of itself, motivating. There are myriad factors that lead someone to stay or leave a workplace, and "being paid" is just one, and not always a particularly big one.
I don't get it. People seem to think that if you ban this practice, you'll get the premium package for free. That's not going to be the case.

Currently, you can pay for heated seats all up-front or via a monthly subscription. This proposed legislation prevents you from paying for it via a monthly subscription. So automakers will stop allowing you to do that. All you've done is limit customer choices.
I think the word they really want to use there is "indefinitely." It doesn't imply the same thing that "permanently" does.
If you can learn of it I don't see why not.
Ask HN: Do you have weird “puzzle dreams” after a day of abstract programming?
Here's something I noticed about myself and later had confirmed by a few colleagues: After a day of programming abstract concepts (pure algorithms, math-heavy things etc.) my dreams are upsetting. I wouldn't strictly call them nightmares, but I dream of boxes folding into each other or cranks, pushing and pulling. My colleagues told me about similar dreams, involving gears, folding paper, pyramids, and other geometric shapes. My theory is that our brain tries to process the events of the day in a non-concrete fashion - and abstract programming gives it little to work with. But I am wondering: How widespread is this phenomenon? Do other people experience the same?
