> I remember Apple and Google did. Was there a broader conspiracy?

I wrote FAANG cause I didn't remember all involved, which was my bad. It was Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay that got caught in the anti trust suit.

Enough big players to seriously affect job opportunities and labour costs from rising.

> This $415mm settlement [1]?

That was the latest judge sentence, which I hadn't heard of, I can ammend my previous comment. The original sentences, affecting mostly the smaller players like Pixar where much smaller while the Apple and Google one kept being pushed back. 400 million is still quite low in exchange for a 5 year long wage freeze essentially as moving jobs is the best way to increase your salary.

The toal pay seems to be lower, 3,400 for Pixar, intuit and lucasfilm employees and only 5,770 for apple and google employees. Over a 5 year period thats a pretty low salary raise.

Considering a job change every 2 years can end up with almost 100% salary difference over a decade. That means in the 5 years, the salary raises saved the company up to 50% in salary costs.

With the headcount of both of those companies and their average salary. Even if the percentage of workers who did not move between companies, I would argue 400 million is still low.

I am also gonna ignore lawyer fees which are usually the only winners on such big lawsuits

Don’t Let Crypto Bros Undermine Effective Altruism
Taxation is theft, and any time somebody manages to get out of it, we should celebrate it. Especially as it contributes to breaking up the system based on violence and theft and paves the road for the rest of us to do the same.
The sensible thing to do would be to abolish patents completely. Patents originated as a way to create incentive to publish inventions. We do not need patents for that purpose anymore. Today patents have the opposite effect: they stifle innovation.

Yes, it would lead to several sectors having to restructure their business models since extortion and monopolism would no longer be viable business models, but then again, they shouldn't be allowed to be viable business models in a properly functioning market anyway.

As for sectors such as pharma: It would be a huge win for humanity. If drug development was mostly funded by public money, there would be far better focus on developing the drugs we actually need rather than reinventing existing drugs just so you can patent them and price gouge. For instance, some classes of drugs, like antibiotics, are almost impossible to develop under the current circumstances because recovering cost is extremely hard.

The only parties benefiting from patents are the biggest incumbents. For anyone who doesn't have extremely deep coffers they are at best vanity items, and at worst, a possible liability.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I thought your reply was at least a lot more thoughtful than the average one here. It seems like in this topic:

<personal anecdote or opinion> pro 4-day workweek = upvote

<personal anecdote or opinion> skeptical of 4-day workweek = downvote

I guess it is human nature to dismiss skepticism of an outcome when the outcome is strongly desired
It’s more likely than not his investments directly cause more deaths than they would through wars or whatever the American government you allege is doing you disagree with. Saying “I won’t pay taxes because I don’t agree with the government” is sovereign citizen level inanity. Especially because this dude has the power to move to another country anytime but chooses to abuse the system in this country. The least we can do is be objective about it and try to minimize such abuse.
Huh TIL.
A famously litigation happy company not filing immediate legal action (starting with a cease and desist and then escalating) when accused of wrong doing in a very public and damaging way is all you need to know about who is in the wrong.

Im sure eventually someone at Microsoft will tell them enough and cut the man a nice settlement check in a couple of years. Right when discovery is allowed to go forward and all of Martys emails and communications are allowed to become public.

I seriously stopped recommending ubuntu to new users of linux. Some ubuntu based ones are ok (like elementary) but ubuntu itself for years has had myriad issues in stability for a long time.

The only real benefit is since ubuntu is more popular, you're more likely to find getting help for it online, more readme's will have ubuntu specific install directions or packaged binaries, googling for errors and such will be easier, etc.
The fix hasn't made it down to stable yet, where most people live. More of a weird FYI.
That is a regretable choice on Apple's part. First, on the US layout as least, there's a series of standard overrides dating back decades. OPT+Q is the rarely used œ (@ is SHIFT+2 on most US layouts), but some are helpful like ® (R), π (P), etc... Second, some apps bind OPT+KEY to commands!
It's very simple actually. You (and most of HN) live in a tech industry bubble. Living wages in the U.S are terrible and disposable income is non-existent. I work a 9-5 just like everyone else but when it comes down to it I don't have the money to buy new books. I can either buy used paperback from a second-hand store, go to the library, or pirate an epub. None of these options pay the original author and are effectively the same. Given that I was never going to pay anyways, why do you find the third option unethical? It hurts absolutely no one but greatly enhances my quality of life and (in some cases) helps society by making me a more educated individual. The only thing piracy costs authors is opportunity (which in my case was always 0).
Indeed.

The post neglects to mention at which Level one would start saying "No." And I argue it should be Level 3, to avoid going to Level 4.

If I found myself in Level 5, 6, or 7 the only explanation I would find is that I've very badly mismanaged my time for too long.
I learned this from my brother when I was harvesting Job's Tears in the garden. A bunch of foxtail seeds kept landing in the bowl, and looked just about big enough to be a grain - I commented that it seemed likely that some of our grains must have evolved that way, getting selected because they got harder to distinguish from the main plant. He was like "yeah... that's basically the story of Rye" lol. It was something I'd never thought about, but actually trying to harvest a grain made it really clear.

Everyone is different, and it's unfortunate that your friend's experience is not good, and that you don't know anyone with a healthy relationship with their medication.

The truth is that lots of people manage their stimulants just fine. Across everyone I know on stimulants, 8 friends and family, none are as you describe. These are people I physically see on a regular basis. No one is addicted, high, unable to function or experiencing material personality changes. Every single one of them is taking low to moderate doses, as needed, and says their stimulants changed their life for the better, allowing them to function "normally" at work or school.
Well, there's definitely Ruby support in the Webkit engine these days (as well as in Gecko and Blink); you can do something like

data:text/html,<h1><ruby><rb>H</rb><rt>hacker</rt><rb>N</rb><rt>news</rt></ruby>

in the browser URL bar to see it at work.

Whether iBooks has adopted that in place of your code ... I have no idea.
You're trucking in an airframe, fuel, oxygen and assembling the product.

All of these things routinely get trucked around and there's already an established system of rules for doing so.

Sure, assembling and fueling the vehicle is a little different but it's not much different than the fuel truck and the oxygen truck showing up to a chemical plant on the same morning. Airports already have precedent and procedure for handling exotic fuels.

The cargo here is no more interesting or deserving of special care (and in some cases it's less) than the stuff the oil and gas industry flies around the north sea.

I'm sure "but safety" is how the bureaucrats justify the extra make-work but that's a pretty worthless justification in a world where you don't need a special site permit to load a case of explosives or hazmat onto a chopper so long as you follow the preexisting handling requirements for whatever it is you're handling.

So yeah, I see this as pointless red tape and it's doubly a nuisance seeing as commercial space flight is a fledging industry that probably should be nurtured by government rather than fought. If they were actually shooting off rockets I'd feel differently but that's not the case.
Maybe not just tech, but areas in tech where people are pushed to their limits.

My RAV4 prime can get about 20% more electric range than stated given the proper weather/tire conditions. 37 miles might be more useful than expected for certain commutes.

Other wise, it’d be a whole lot more useful if my prime got about 2x its electric range. It’s not perfect but the combo does cut my gas usage down vastly.
you can use agile in a good way here - say you are a dev and somebody wants something from you. your schedule is set, all the tasks for the sprint have been planned and you commited to doing them. you can just say "i have not time for that but you could try to to talk to the PO. the product owner could adjust the prioritization for the next sprint accordingly.."

Working at the shout of other people tends to damage you and the company in the long term (If you are building things and have to maintain them).

I understand that not everyone is a developer and this example does not fit every role. Likewise, an "agile" way of working should not be used for every job.
The comments here is mostly people saying this would never work for more than a couple of inches of snow, how whoever wrote it must have no experience of real snow. But there's a video in the linked article of it working for a reasonable amount of powder for some guy in Canada.

In Southern England, I have no idea, only need to clear snow off the drive maybe once a year here, if that. In turn thus leads me to wonder how on earth the Canadian guy decided the most fitting song to his video would be Lily Allen. In particular, lily Allen singing about being annoyed by guys chatting her up on a night out in London.

I mean, I agree, and think the law should be changed to have some limits, but I wouldn't have enough info to think the law should be changed if I didn't know specific details about how some individuals are using it.

(Also, what this article only briefly touched upon but others get into more details of -- the way people like this get hundreds of MM in IRAs is by buying early stage stakes that aren't generally available to the public at "pennies per share". Banning these from IRAs would be one way to end this sort of thing).

Suppose you have a couple graphs, represented by adjacency matrices (A and B) whose cells represent travel times or distances or some other notion of cost. Assuming their dimensions are compatible, and that the columns of A correspond to the same nodes as the rows of B, then

A ⌊.+ B

will produce a new adjacency matrix (call it C) where each c_ij is the minimum traversal cost from node i to node j. For example, if A represented driving times from all cities in NY state to all airports in NY, and B represented direct flight times from all NY airports to all CA airports, then our result would be the minimum travel time (ignoring parking and security) between any NY town and any CA airport.

The sequence `⌊.+` is an inner product chosen specifically to achieve this effect, with addition where multiplication would normally be, and ⌊ (min) where multiplication would normally be.

Notice that it took me longer to give this under-caffeinated explanation of what is going on than to write the code.

What? Anyone in the US can participate in founding, and funding, a new business.
it's not so simple as "disliking the UI", it's about the UI/UX being clear enough that the user understand what he is doing in order to not be harmed by it in any way (disclosing personnal information for instance).

Simply imagine that the user thought that, by clicking the "X" button, he closed the app and got off the vocal channel so that now nobody can hear him. Now a close relative ask him some other personnal info that he don't want to share (Health info, credit card etc..), and other people in the vocal channel hear it. Well, the user has been harmed.

So yeah, not about "disliking the UI" but about protecting you, the user
Hi HN,
My name is Andrea Cavagna, and I posted Leapp a few months ago on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27688062) as an app for generating credentials in the Cloud for Developers.
After gathering feedback from the community, we found the best use case for the tool was to access the Cloud in each method.

I'm proud to share this next iteration as a tool to access Multiple AWS Web console Browser sessions from DIFFERENT ACCOUNT in the same browser window.

We created a Chromium extension (https://docs.leapp.cloud/0.16.2/built-in-features/multi-cons...) and Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/leapp-multi-cons...).

The Extension enables the Desktop App to work with the Extension to use an Isolated Context (aka Containers for Firefox) for each session only by doing (CMD + click) from a Desktop Session.

You can check out the example in the dedicated Blog post where I'm explaining this highly requested community feature (https://dev.to/aws-builders/aws-console-login-to-multiple-ac...)
That's hardly news.

But you're looking in the wrong place.

It was called the "Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action" it was not an agreement to be ratified, but a course of action for the UN members to follow, which includes the US.

Of course in United States social justice is seen as a political stance, it's not surprising from the country that has signed and not ratified

- Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women

- International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

- Convention on the Rights of the Child (they do not actually think of the children, apparently)

- Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

I get that the rights of people with disabilities can be a divisive argument, but they also refuted to sign for

- Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women

- Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

- Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

- Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment

and if that wasn't bad enough, they have also not signed

- International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families

- International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance (CIA really loves making people disappear, they couldn't possibly disappoint them)

How is it possible that we call it "the greatest democracy in the World" while they are not even a real Democracy is the "greatest mystery in modern history"

So, yeah, social justice is political only in USA and probably in some South American dictatorship lead by former nazis and militarily installed by yours truly the USA

Not even Putin would say in public that social justice it's the patrimony of a specific Political side, because it would be a (politcal) suicide, even for a guy like Vladimir Putin who recently spoke about it citing Martin Luther King (of course it's all propaganda in his side, but still...), while in the USA, where MLK was born and was killed, his ideas are still considered "agenda" and not "Country's own values".

Again: not surprising, just sad.

> It was ratified by Russia and, somehow, Afghanistan.

to put it mildly, in that list, as you can see, USA is the country that ratified fewer treaties.

Even Iran ratified one treaty more than US.

Actually there is one that did worse: Bhutan, with zero of them.

It is interesting that you wrote <<why functional programming is synonymous with inefficiency>>. Most people would say <<why GC blub languages [Java, C#, etc.] are synonymous with inefficiency>>. I actually agree with my rewrite, but I deliver value much slower with non-GC languages. The IDE uplift from Java & C# is just so crazy good. It is hard to beat for many enterprise scenarios. Plus, the developers are much cheaper than C, C++, and Rust programmers.

"X" hasn't meant end the process for over 20 years.

In 2022, it could very well be the better choice for most users to not end a voice call just because they clicked the "X" to get rid of the window. Just like what Skype, other Voip services, and most chat services have done forever.

This ruling is a bit disappointing.

Take a look through the window during orientation time. all those machines will be running printing out crap to show how cool and trendy their maker space is.
Minimising to the stray isn't so much the problem as remaining connected to the voice chat. Skype in this circumstance doesn't fully minimise but still has a little foreground window making it obvious that you're still on the call.
The funny part is WITCH is propped up by these very companies complaining because they themselves are least bothered about quality. I have seen many executives in suit and tie visit them, get treated like royalty and shake their heads and talk bullshit.

> “About a decade after the creation of the Roth, Congress made it even easier to turn the accounts into mammoth tax shelters.”

Alternatively: "About a decade later, politicians continued to demonstrate an inability to make hard tradeoffs and goosed short-term tax revenue in exchange for long-term tax-free growth of these accounts. Now, some people are mad about that."
My question as well. Can a non-EU company simply refuse to pay, and also refuse to block users from the EU? I wonder if the EU would decide to block access to the foreign service as a result. It would at least force them to be honest about the fact that they're effectively turning the internet into a legal-regional network rather than a global one.
