> jumping into a fire or out of a plane is not on the contract but can be part of a “team building” activity. That is what i’m pointing out.

There's a concept of common sense. With common sense we can easily rule out jumping off of planes and into fires without getting pedantic or technical. Let's use some of this sense when talking so things don't get overly technical.

>haha, yeah thats the part that I want everyone to focus on in this debate.

Do we let laws define what's right and wrong? Or do we use common sense? Obviously it's common sense. Because laws can have loopholes and what else is it but common sense that is used to identify these loop holes? In the end that is the basis for our judgement. Law is simply a way to codify our fuzzy sense of morality into an exact logic. The problem, however, is that it is often wrong (with loop holes and tax laws and such) and we have to fall back to a fuzzy sense of what is right or wrong. AKA common sense.

Haha yeah, let's stick with common sense arguments rather then strict interpretations of the word of the law which is obviously flawed.
I love this, and even though it seems like the experiments were a failure, if one hadn't been it might have saved a lot of people a lot of money. As it is, it's saved at least a few people from trying the experiment themselves. Also there's a list of alternative uses for coffee grounds, and a link to another blogpost that expands on those in detail.

This post took more effort than 99% of blogposts, calling it blogspam is pretty offensive.

No. Not everything is a ponzi to a degree. It is a specific sort of scam.

A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud where the earnings paid to earlier investors come from the funds of more recent investors.

I once had to jackhammer a 4 foot wide, 26 foot long, 4 foot deep trench in my basement to replace the sanitary sewer in my house. It was old terracotta pipe and had tree roots growing into it and eventually blocked the flow. It was doing that that helped me be so thankful to have an office job. I also had to lug all the rubble upstairs in 5 gallon buckets.
I mean communism looks pretty cool on paper too, the actual idea. But we seem to have had a real hard time implementing it. Could crypto be like that?
> That's a question for the 4 Day Week Campaign, not for the Guardian

Umm ... I don't think we get to give media outlets a free pass like that. Reporters used to ask these questions and get answers before they published.

Gushingly positive reporting about a topic that your reporters and/or your readership agree with is almost certainly part of the reason that only 25% of people trust journalists[0]. I suppose that's marginally more than than trust politicians (21%)... :)

"[The Guardian has] a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation [..]

Overall, we rate The Guardian Left-Center biased based on story selection that moderately favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks over the last five years."

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/

I'd never come across mediabiasfactcheck.com until a friend recently referred me to it over a source that I'd quoted which he claimed was biased :)

Full disclosure: I grew up in a household where The Guardian was on the breakfast table every day, and I still call up theguardian.com every morning. Either it's changed, or I've changed :(

The speculation on road traffic is not well supported, but neurological damage due to even mild or asymptomatic covid is well documented.
For the record, I don't think I completely disagree with you, but I think your argument is wrong.

<< The concept of Teams are not a an artificial construct. They are part of biology both inside and outside of human biology.

We might be getting a little esoteric here. If "Teams" is a concept then just from that name alone you can determine that it refers to an idea ( artificial construct ). And biology does not automatically wills teams into existence ( although it might happen to result in them as our environment seems to indicate ). Do you mean evolution?

<< Why is it a requirement to join any team at all, >> It is not a requirement to join a team at all. >> Nowadays you need to join a team to get a salary.

So it is a requirement?

<< Think about it this way. Team bonding activities still exist.

I think that is a really bad argument. Slavery still exists ( sadly ) and I would not even dream of thinking considering recommending it.

<< They exist for a reason and that reason

Yep, and now we evolved into something better. Could we move onto Team 2.0 so to speak?

<< It is not unreasonable to see how some teams WANT these traditional

I guess it depends. Some traditions are more upsetting than others. Would you advocate for a team that wants to continue a tradition of child sacrifice?

>But making it an expectation for a job that has nothing to do with alcohol? Yeah no.

Why not? I want my employee to fit in with the team. If they drink then I want someone who drinks. This is reasonable. There are subtle performance effects on the ENTIRE team when hiring someone too divergent.

As an employer I want my employees to all be friends. If I make this request in the job description I think that's perfectly fair. If I spring this request unknowingly onto someone who just got hired then it's unfair.

> life is too short to waste it working with people who don't like to inject heroin into their eyeballs whilst riding dolphins bred in captivity around Seaworld. Just find a different company that will be less miserable.

I like a drink occasionally with friends after work. Some choose not to come. Some drink soft drinks. Some stay out until I can see the regret on their faces the next day. Everyone makes their own version of "fun".

What gets my back up most in a work environment is mandatory fun. Someone has designed an activity, a workshop, a day that is all about having FUN!!!!1! Except its their version of fun and we all have to play along or else you're the problem.

That's what bothers me.

It's not about life being short or people being "fun" or not. It's about my interpretation of what it means for me, and everyone else's interpretation of what it means for them.
I don't get the impression that you two are talking about that same thing, like, you didn't really give a rebuttal to what they said, how do you feel what you wrote is related?

Lets speculate a little bit for argument sake. Take this with a grain of salt because I am not a specialist, just a information hoarder.

Lets put miniaturization aside and focus on another aspects, which i judge will be more critical.

The warhead must survive mechanical stress of launch and reentry, and thermal stress at reentry. The question is: can it be designed only with computers and public knowledge? They could build small hypersonic wind tunnel to collect data and simulate the rest.
Yeah the “letting go” seems to be a very common thread in positive experiences. Conversely, challenging trips seem to happen when you refuse to give up control.

The fear of having gone permanently mad is common—one of the best things you can do for someone having a bad time is remind them that it’s only temporary. I’m glad you were able to let go and get something out of it!
That's a very theoretical problem though, isn't it? Individual comments don't have the length of books, and usually don't individually contain enough text to be unique. Once the account-relationship is gone, it's essentially like splitting all the books up into paragraphs and trying to attribute individual paragraphs.
Unless you're Wittgenstein or someone with a similar interest in exploring how long sentences can be, I doubt there's enough there.

Of course, all of that is hardly useful, since HN is very open and lots of people have copies of all comments.
It feels like lima and colima are much more mature. Being unable to remap the SSH port (or other ports) alone makes this a non-starter.
Youre making my point for me, ironically. All those people you mention became media personalities later in life _after_ they'd made their contributions. Einstein is an especially egregious example, as later in life he became a crackpot, ranting about how quantum mechanics wasn't science. Sounds kinda like Sabine, except unlike Einstein she never actually contributed anything to science. Hawking _had_ to publish popular science books to pay his bills, but again he did very little in terms of science in this later period.
There were times when people believed the earth was flat, and astronomers were called heretics.

My tip: divide the problem in small pieces.
This would indeed be the best approach in a country with a functional work market & culture. France is not that, or at least not at the time this happened (I hope it's getting better now). This will come at a major shock to anyone used to US/UK tech work culture.

In France, animosity between workers and management is constant, expected and considered normal. The jobs market is extremely illiquid (and unemployment was quite high at one point) which means once someone lands a job, they keep it and fight for it, even if the position is a bad fit. This overall ruins the experience for everyone involved except maybe lawyers and paper-pushers. The worst is that it's a positive feedback loop, where risk of this happening means that companies are even more reluctant to hire and/or implement unreasonable requirements that make job switching harder and ultimately make the market even less liquid.

In a well-functioning jobs market leaving and finding another job is indeed the easiest answer. But if you can't do that and have a mortgage to pay, your only option is to stick around and fight back.
And there's no guarantee that service will stay around, or that they won't accept requests. I still think it's worthwhile to reduce the attack surface.
Why would deleting (or not deleting) an account change a sign-up (vs retention) metric?
So long as the account is permanently locked from ever participating again in any way, I think renaming is great. Otherwise it needs to be left as-is.

But the comments need to remained owned by the account that created them, so that we can consider the history of each commenter when reviewing their comments in the future. Merging them all into DELETED inappropriately coalesces those histories.

I feel for those who are just now realizing that they can be located by their stylistic tendencies. It’s Dejanews all over again.
Pretty sure email addresses and user generated content (comments) are personal data.

From managing kids in awkwardly arranged holiday accommodation: if each person is in their own sleeping bag, you can usually avoid any direct contact. Possibly easier with kids because of size, but as an extra precaution roll up the quilt and place it down the center of the bed.
They are trying to optimize for what hardware they are stuck with, then characterizing it as if it's a cache invalidation problem. At the core, it is not a problem with when to do cache invalidation. Their "problem" (which isn't a problem, they just want to see a different use profile) is a consequence of what they have decided to stick with due to concerns that are not reasoned and wouldn't be very interesting anyway. I don't understand why anyone would want to belabor this further.

Interesting...here's some random thoughts:

zfs send/recv support? That seems to be the missing piece in the low-end cloud storage world. There's rsync.net and zfs.rent, but those seem to be targeting 10+ TiB. (My current solution is a 1 TiB 'storage' VPS for $3/month, running Debian ZFS on root. Works nicely, but scrubbing 600 GiB takes over a day!)

I'm not sure a one week trial is long enough, considering you're asking for annual payment up front. For instance, I didn't want to 'start the clock' by creating an account.

Borgbase has a 2 repo / 10 GB free tier, and lots of object storage services offer 20-75 GB free.

BTW, https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/registration.php has a broken link ( https://www.extralayer.eu/dashboard/index.html ). Several minor typos on https://www.extralayer.eu/terms-of-service.php and https://www.extralayer.eu/acceptable-use-policy.php, too.

Borg support is good. Might consider restic, too.

Location? I'd want to know where my data is.
> Where's the value?

The value is partly in Google, the corporation. Google is effectively a bundle of legal contracts, shared knowledge and habits that together tend to spit out money.

The rest of the value is in society. Laws, practices and habits mean that sliver of ownership tends to rise if Google works well, fall if not.

If you prefer to store your savings in whatevercoins, I hope you enjoy whatever you end up with on the other side. But please don't get back to me about it, I am utterly fucking sick of hearing crypto pitches.

So in other words, your share is worth what other people will pay you for it. I already said that.

i considered this and needed clarification. i didn't know whether the p2p connections remained open or made frequent disconnect/reconnects. what happens to sync'd nodes with active peers is yet to be seen. it's too early, at least for me, to know whether peers would drop a node under attack over timeouts, how bitcoind behaves with peers while tcp/8333 is experiencing stress, etc.

The burden of proof is on the crypto promoters to demonstrate ability to create wealth. This was not the case up to now, the only thing crypto produced were speculative assets that have very little legitimate uses.

For example, major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin aim to replace state issued fiat currencies with privately issued currencies that have limited/fixed supply and no connection to the real economy. That's insanely stupid and detrimental. They also aim to preserve privacy when teleporting billions across continents - a dangerous and anti-social feature no society needs.

The vast majority of ICOs and DeFi projects are just a way to do regulatory arbitrage - issue unregulated or lightly regulated securities that are excelent for speculation, but have close to non-existent real world utility. The same for NFTs, completely fictional wealth creation that was powered solely by the speculative search for greater fools.

The field as a whole, despite probably hundreds of billions in real wealth dumped into it by now, produces close to zero value for society, or even negative if we consider the impact of resource burn and facilitation of money laundry. It has spiraled into a pure speculative mania that destroys the lives of many retail investors:

inaccessible to external machines that are not participating in the attack. it's yet to be seen what happens to a node that's sync'd with active peers and whether a node under attack is kicked out of the network for timeouts or how bitcoind behaves in general while tcp/8333 is under fire.
Except crypto actually works for its intended use cases. I use it constantly.

Maybe it works poorly for traders but those of us actually using cryptoassets for privacy, inflation resistance, and censorship resistance ignore the scams and traders. Scams and traders dominate the conversation of most new technology. Same things happen in traditional markets.
