Good luck even showing actual damages then. Employment lawsuits from line employees really aren’t that scary to big companies. The case law in California at least is quite clear.
I’m not a lawyer, but the source for this information is a lawyer I conferred with. He said legally I had a solid case but he wasn’t interested in 30% of three months compensation.

Actual damages are practically capped around 3 months on the theory that you should be able to find a new job in that timeframe. And if you don’t, then that’s evidence you’re not actually qualified qualified and the termination wasn’t wrongful! And if Twitter is effectively paying 60 day’s severance then it’s even harder to show actual damages.

Now theoretically punitive damages are a possibility. I assume that’s what this lawsuit is hinging on, raising the however unlikely possibility that a jury might vote for punitive damages. That almost certainly won’t happen though absent gross malfeasance: think outright full blown macroaggression racism or sexism. Otherwise, well privileged tech nerds like tweeps just aren’t very likely to get a jury all riled.
California has 60 days.

Most European countries have more

AFAIK copyright applies even to certain materials that have not, and never will enter commerce. Of course there are certain non-commercial exceptions to US copyright law. (Note: this is not legal advice). IMO copyright law exceeds even the bounds of commerce, and thus cannot be simply called a "rule" of commerce.
Not at this time. I'm focusing on first making the Windows version work well.

A Mac version is something that is commonly requested, so I can look at that if the app becomes popular enough.

Windows on ARM ruins everything Windows offers.

- No gaming due to poor emulation

- Usually pricy Surface devices

- macOS on ARM has waaaaay better commercial support

- Do any WoA devices even have USB4?

- WSL still exists, and is better than anything on the Mac

- No hardware upgradability

- More hassle than Linux, since everything is compiled natively for aarch64
Short works can fall into copyright in the U.S.

Heck, even taking a photo of the Mona Lisa is subject to copyright in the U.S under the theory there is creativity in the composition of the photo.

+1 for RSS, I leaned on RSS as my protocol-of-choice for Haven[1], and even added a built-in RSS feed-reader. It provides a single chronologically-ordered stream of content from all your feeds which I've found makes it much more pleasant to read through.

Often, VPN blockers operate by simply rewriting DNS requests. They can also simulate DoH servers being down by blocking traffic to them (for scummy apps that bypass the system DNS) or mess with unencrypted content. DNS being an unencrypted protocol helps them block HTTP(S) connections even with technologies such as ESNI/ECH. Without ECH, simple SNI sniffing may also be a way to block connections that made their way past the DNS filter, though there's no reason for scummy ad libraries to use real domain names for their certificates; there's always a risk of spoofing.

Note that the VPN API is just the API of choice to be allowed to mess with network packets. There's no firewall API or network level driver that can do so in any other capacity. In almost all cases, there is no cloud server. Blokada uses some kind of cloud server, probably as a way to bypass Google's restrictions, but other apps work fine without it.

Some blocking apps work with custom, usually locally-generated, CA certificates to intercept HTTPS traffic. They're very spotty at best and very uncommon in my experience. Since Android 7, apps need to manually opt in to using user certificates from the CA store and most of them don't; in fact, most of them seem to be moving towards certificate pinning, meaning that even system-trusted CA certificates (which you will need root access for to inject them yourself) don't pass the validation step. Such a VPN filter would throw TLS errors across all major applications and services, leaving only the browser and the very few apps that opted into user certificates working. Not a great user experience to say the least.
This isn't "getting weirder", this has been the case for close to a decade if not more. HN has long removed the numbers. The good news is that the submitter has time (though in this case I think it's expired) to edit headlines for submissions, I think it's the same time window as comment editing, 1.5-2 hours. When you submit a headline and it's altered by HN in a meaningful way, you can change it back to the original.
>In other words, that's how the world generally works.

And suing people for it is also how the world works.

> One occasionally reads newspaper accounts of how two programmers in a remodeled garage have built an important program that surpasses the best efforts of large teams. And every programmer is prepared to believe such tales, for he knows that he could build any program much faster than the 1000 statements/year reported for industrial teams.
Why then have not all industrial programming teams been replaced by dedicated garage duos? One must look at what is being produced.
In the [attached figure] is a program. It is complete in itself, ready to be run by the author on the system on which it was developed. That is the thing commonly produced in garages…

He then goes on to describe how you can take a program and make it a programming product (by generalizing it, adding testing, documentation, maintenence) and a programming system (requiring interfaces and integration with the rest of the system)
> ..we need something, personally or collectively, to acknowledge the complicated and often conflicting experience of surviving a pandemic.

> What we don’t need is a bunch of people wondering why we’re being less productive in the workplace as if the answer weren’t right in front of them.

Amen to both statements. We don’t need people questioning why isn’t the workforce being more productive - “why are they quiet quitting?” Because you worked your employees to the bone. And you still want more.

People are real - they have families. They need to live for something more fulfilling than a job that is always asking for more. We have been systemically deprived of our rights (no more unions, international employees being exploited with no real recourse, medical benefits depending on our jobs).

This is a modern form of exploitation of people by companies. Top brass makes disproportionate wealth. Their perks go up every year. Minimum wage gets a paltry increase. Or worse - stays flat.

Those in (or seeking) power want us to keep fighting over politics, so we don’t have the time to think for ourselves. No more.

Speak up everyone. For yourselves, your friends, your colleagues. Talk about how frustrated you are because your work doesn’t get that your child is sick and needs your attention and love at home. Or that you had a rough breakup. Or that you want to spend your 5 o’clock drinking with buddies, instead of attending a work meeting.

I get it. I'm almost 40 and have been working at tech startups since I was in my 20s. I've been through what they're going through.

The difference is that people are being laid off, terminated, or otherwise losing their jobs every day. It's not a new or interesting phenomenon. What's interesting are the conditions that led to it happening to these people, both inside and outside Twitter. It's novel and may have broad impacts well outside the ~3.5k people who are now looking for work.
I think posts like this are only getting upvotes because George Hotz owns the project. I do see value in simple code, but the constraint of 1000 LOC makes little sense to me, especially when the code is formatted poorly.

This will get downvoted, but reading the comments here I dont understand the (cult/respect) for him.
Siding with the most successful CTF-team ever (PPP) he won defcon two times.
He made a startup with funding that makes a cool 'niche' product.

I recently started using RSS again (self-hosted with miniflux). One difficulty I have is that these kinds of RSS feeds in OP are way too high-volume for me. But it can be hard to find good blogs or RSS feeds without relying on Twitter to find them.

Back in the day, more people used to include a list of blogs they follow on their own blogs, I thought this was a great practice. A few still do, like this very interesting blog on statistics: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/blogs-i-read/

The UUID thing is an attractive thought but it also would act as an incentive to sell ones vote. Secret ballots protect from coercion and vote selling, as you can't verify someone voted how you paid them to. With validation you could see people literally buying votes. Just something to think about. I totally agree it would be nice to have a post vote validation. Maybe you get a UUID but have to submit that in person with an ID check to view the results? That would seem to meet the intended goal and minimize the hazards but with a cost to convenience.
Not just tired but "worn out" or "fatigued" from 3 years of the stress of a global pandemic, the worry of an uncertain economy, the worry of a potential world war brewing, and then some have post-covid brain fog and/or other post-covid complications.

But that isn't the argument/landscape. For one, I'm not arguing that offices are superior. I just can't in good faith blanket claim that remote is better. My gut is each is a tradeoff.

My main qualm in this is I have seen countless times folks have "obvious and well reasoned arguments" on why the companies that are succeeding are doing things wrong. I am not so naive as to fully expect a superior work environment would naturally rise to success, but I do question why successful remote jobs are typically not the norm, if that is such a better way.
What's with the take off of "IYKYK"(in her bio)?

Is it because people feel special advertising that they're part of some elite/secret ring of true knowledge sharers? Literally if the phrase was excluded, it's factualness would still be true.

In a scientific sense, it is obviously impossible to know whats in someone's mind. Also, I don't live in SF proper, but more like south bay. However, listening to the rhetoric at the time, it was not hard to guess that COVID policy came to represent the political gap between the two sides. So it stands to reason that in hyper progressive SF, any opposition to absolute closure would be seen as 'siding with the enemy'. If this does not sound reasonable, I'm afraid I cannot convince you and wish you best.
Musk is openly antagonistic to any kind of regulation and regulatory bodies. This is all a game to him. Any fines he faces are the price of having fun, to him. It's why whether Twitter succeeds or fails is a moot point. He doesn't actually care about Twitter. It's a toy. It's an RC plane he's flying around, right now, and it's just a matter of time before he intentionally aims it into the ground to see how big of an explosion he can make.
Anecdotal for me, before the pandemic I was working in an open office and there was times that it was not a good environment when you need to focus, working from home work a bit improvement for me and still enjoying it now.

My case may be limited to a small group but I'm sure I’m not alone here. Productivity wasn't an issue working from home, I was designing electronics to completely revamp our product range in work. While everything up until this was focused on backwards compatibility, this was a clean slate project and give us chance to explore new tech.

Sue to the nature of our systems, there's many PCBs involved but the designs were going well and even had a few prototype boards built just before the Electronics shortages hit.

For most of the new designs we used the STM32 range as there were a lot available and plenty of options available. They seemed amongst the early ones that went out of stock. After that even just basic components just seemed to have dried up.

For almost 2 years now, most of my time has been spent keeping existing systems up and running, finding alternative parts or where that's not possible, redesigning boards just to keep production running. Some of these changes have been minor but had to change a Microcontroller on a couple of boards which also requires re-writing firmware for those boards.

It’s been a demoralising couple of years and while there's a thought that things should get better, there's no end in sight yet. When you get to the point that you're no longer enjoying the work, that's when productivity falls.
Url changed from https://kottke.org/12/01/the-web-was-invented-in-france-not-..., which points to this.
Sure, I am French, I've visited CERN, so I know a good chunk of it is in France. Yet it didn't occur to me that the web was invented in France. But to be honest I didn't think it was invented in Switzerland either.

CERN is like the ISS to me, it's its own world, not really in a country. Most people working there aren't French. Tim Berners Lee is not French.

And really who cares?

Now that it's out of the box, you'll hear people say "we" invented the web. We already invented the minitel, let's keep it at that...
The first rule of SF should be that you should not talk about this. Better to repeat the dystopian hellscape meme to dissuade the locusts.

Why do they need to downvote it. I'd just let it be.
I suggest that your terminology is wrong.

Voting is not the process of marking the ballot. Voting is the act of casting a ballot (marked, unmarked, vandalized, etc.) into a secure pile of ballots therefore making it anonymous.

In terms of voting security the digital scanning and counting is much more problematic than electronically marking of choices on paper.
Twitter already has more "resume cachet" than Tesla/SpaceX.

"Most of the liabilities on their balance sheet are probably these token deals, rather than loans made in hard currency."

No... We know that they owe $650m USD to Voyager Digital and they haven't repaid it yet, instead after failing to bail out Voyager, SBF is trying to acquire its assets with a VERY shady scheme through FTX.

We also know that SBF has spent a lot of effort to bail out BlockFi, and I am confident they are one of Alameda's biggest creditor, we know that BlockFi only lends stables, BTC, ETH and a few other bluechip coins, no FTT, MAPS etc...

So everything is indicating that Alameda's liabilities are in USD/BTC/ETH, while their assets are FTT, MAPS, a few SOL and other low liquidity "shitcoins".

Seems like what Alameda was doing is to take out loans to pump some shitcoins and mainly its own (FTT).
Yeah this was fantastic. Let them have cake!
7 days * 24 hours = 168 hours per week. 90/168 is only 53% of the total hours in a week, and leaves 78 hours for non-work, or 11 hours per day.

Which is an insane amount of time and probably does not actually increase productivity. The math does not check out as you claimed though.

> The Labor Theory of Value is true: value is created when human labor is applied to raw materials.

Wrong, value is created subjectively, by other people desiring the products of that labor. If nobody wants what the laborers created, then their labor had no value.

Roll a rock up and down a hill all day. You'll work hard as hell but you'll create no value. Anybody who denies the subjective theory of value is out to lunch.

That is exactly how lawsuits work. They can be used to get a legal judgement to force a party to Cary out a contract when there is reason to think the other party wouldn’t otherwise comply.
The term predates monetarism. It means price rises of all kinds.

It's difficult enough to condense prices into a single measure without distinguishing what causes what. All the economists want for that term is to say, "Here is a standard basket of goods, and here is the average price paid for it." Even that much is hard enough to do that it requires a government bureau to do the calculation.

It would add extra confusion to redefine the term "inflation" to refer solely to price changes caused by monetary policy rather than supply or demand. Economists are likely to continue to use the term to mean what they've meant by it for over a century.

Going a bit further: not being able to apply consequences to speech is itself curtailing your speech, so you literally can't have one without the other!
