This is just more idealism.

Slavery was a heavily economically motivated endeavor, obviously, otherwise it would never have occurred in the first place or wouldn't have taken so long to abolish.

The other two examples are just a changing of the hands holding power from one aristocracy to another. Peasants still lost out in both of those instances and life was worse after.
I think it’s mainly taxation and the legal issues.

Tax should not be an issue if you are paying someone as an independent contractor. Their tax arrangements are on them.

If you have an employment arrangement however, then you begin to hold responsibility for ensuring that local taxes are paid. You need local payroll, relationships with tax authorities etc.

Legally, again you are mitigated somewhat if you use a B2B contractor relationship, but HR, Data Protection and liability rules are going to be complex and risky for the hiring entity. Imagine if you misunderstand vacation or pension rules in Timbuktu and find yourself in a lawsuit with an aggrieved employee.
they still exist, that's what cheapo thermostats still use. i've wired up a couple thermostat controlled extension cords over the past couple years for a dog house and chicken coop using them

Do you have any evidence at all that there exists any sort of connection between the flight tracking and the incident with the car?

To my knowledge most cars don’t have tail numbers, and don’t register their flight plan with the FAA, so I don’t really understand the connection you’re drawing.
I wonder how many terrabytes of storage would be saved by people realising these exist and not relying on thousands of tiny npm packages to do their own implementation of what some of these API's do.
> One more thing I'll add to this list is culture and language. Even if on paper everyone speaks English, communication is much easier when everyone speaks the same accent / dialect / local non-EN language.

Accent consistency isn't the case even if you're hiring from only one country. The level of English is a legitimate concern but expecting everyone to speak the same accent is weird.
This reminds me of a blog post [1] that was recently posted to HN [2]:

That's my ideal set-up (I was also set up as a contractor for 5-ish years).

Was it difficult for you to convice companies to take you on as a "contractor" (legally speaking)?
You can't require permission if the default action is spoofing. This is how I think all privacy-related features should be implemented. If I don't want a website to use cookies, the browser shouldn't let the website know it can't. It should just pretend to let it use it, while forgetting the cookie when the browser is closed.

As a side note I think prompts like 'letting website track your identity' is misleading and infantilizing. Just let user know what is being accessed, like

- Do you want this website to know when you left the page? We won't let them know if you don't.

- Do you want to allow this website to save cookies? If you don't, all cookies from this site will be cleared when you close the browser.

At this point, we need to acknowledge that browsing the web safely is essentially an adversarial game against adtech and spyware companies. If we don't fight with all our might, we'll just lose. This isn't 2005 anymore. I too wish we could go back, but we can't.
I personally care because I think it'll make the system less secure, which is something I've been able to take for granted. iOS security wasn't perfect, but it was pretty decent and I think this is opening pandora's box.

It's not your platform, though, and writing your own apps doesn't happen in a vacuum, they work by integrating with Apple's OS that they pour oceans of money into developing and maintaining. It's not a general purpose computing device and it was never advertised as such.

I get it though, it is your hardware. I think the way to go about this, since it's your hardware, is to allow users to opt to do a complete wipe of the device, get their own OS, write their own drivers, and use the hardware for whatever they wish with the understanding that they're completely on their own.
There is nothing 'real world surveilance' about following this link:

That Musk 'changed his mind' on the one thing that he said would set Twitter apart from 'the rest' is where I have a problem: this is a matter of principle so dear that it should override his personal affairs because that is what he is on the record about. If Musk's principles only hold water as long as he isn't personally affected then I'm fine with that but then he should get off his high horse and stop pretending.

Twitter before Musk was not perfect, but it was perfectly usable (even if they got stuff wrong every now and then, and in those cases they usually - but not always - eventually corrected themselves). What is on display right now is capriciousness of an entirely different degree.
Those are fair points. My response was quite flippant and generalised. I do understand people have ties to their homes, but I wonder what level of sacrifice is an acceptable amount.

For me, keeping myself and my family feeling safe (and that safety being based on the reality around me) is a non negotiable.
Ok, so for space you'd pay any price.

> It’s more likely that we’ll look at the drive promoted largely on the basis of religious conservatism to impose ascribed gender over gender identity and deny such care, with clear evidence that doing so is killing people, as a medical scandal, similar to all the other times care was denied or known harmful interventions were applied systematically to a targeted marginalized community.

Unlikely, especially with the rise in outspoken detransitioners who have been caught up in this gender madness, and whistleblowing medical staff. They have first-hand experience of how harmful these medical interventions are - and people are listening.

Some European health systems have already massively walked back their 'gender-affirming' care for children.
People like both. If you think about it, books, music and film are linear too. There's nothing wrong with being entertained by a story, but I too find it fascinating to see how indie developers push gaming as a medium.

Eek, Okular. The one time I resorted to downgrading a package in 20+ years of using Linux. A few years back, someone drank too much design Kool-Aid and introduced smooth scrolling without making it optional. That did not get a very good reception from everyone, as browsing 20,000-page reference manuals with buttery smooth scrolling is, literally, dizzying.

I don't know if it ever got fixed. I stopped using Linux around the time when it was introduced, and having had to revert to using xpdf for browsing large PDFs like it was 1994 again was part of why I ragequit :-(.

Taxation is the main problem, and lack of legal presence is related to it.
Other than that, your list looks good.

There are companies who have presences in many countries. I once worked for a US-Canadian company from Scotland, so they hired me through their London branch, although the person that was officially my manager wasn't the person I reported to.

There are specialized "middle man" companies that exist purely to make your arrangement tax-compliant.

In the UK, there is an additional regulatory problem called "IR35", which is about working as contractor for the same client for too long, so you would be treated like an employee. This is only an issue if you go the contractor route, which is financially attractive as you may get GBP 450-GBP 1200 a day there,
depending on experience.

Sometimes, contrctors found their own limited liability corporations, which makes some issues easier, but doesn't resolve everything. The hardest part for the employee side is finding a competent tax advisor knowledgeable with international setups.

Regarding the time zone, this is both a pro and a con, depending where the other team members reside. I've been in GMT+0 working with US and Asian teams so sitting in the middle makes you an ideal communication hub between sites that have difficulties meeting at humane hours.
Yeah, cops on duty wear the Punisher symbol and carry challenge coins to signify their membership of fascist organisations instead.
Ok I will bite. Commercial engine manufacturers are also an oligopoly so they also have very little incentive to innovate like aircraft manufacturers. The only way to incentivize them is to bring a big pot of gold. I remember Boom tried but one of the engine manufacturers initially signed on then withdrew.
Funding and reputation are considerably influenced by credentials, especially at an early stage. Also, this sparks the obvious question of whether he lied only in this case, or whether half of his claims are?
Yes, a collar with a bell reduced predation by cats, and is recommended by the Royal Society for Protection of Birds, among others.

Now, to be fair, it is not without its cost. It happens that cats get it tangled in fences or other obstacles and die by strangulation or predation.
Not so. He is the one who made the original statement. The onus of proof is on him to show what is "completely made up". It's a fairly extreme statement after all.
I don’t want to comment on you as a person, but I definitely would call the act deeply immoral.

Tracking the movements of wealthy targets in real time has zero value in terms of political freedoms. It’s primarily of use to kidnappers and other criminals. There’s no getting around the fact that it’s a security risk.
This usually means looking after less fortunate, and not by choice. Here we are taking money from those who are living constrained, and giving it to people loving in greater luxury.

The point isn't the size of the trade; the point is that smart money might follow Alameda, and so news that Alameda is "shorting" Tether might, on its own, be enough for CZ to ask that Sam stop.

What's not being pointed out here is that to CZ, and actually even to Sam, there really is no distinction here between Alameda and FTX. CZ is calling him on a position taken by Alameda, via their "Exchange chat," to coordinate between FTX and Binance.

Time dilation at 0.9 c is only 2.3x (where 1x is no dilation).

Lorentz factor γ = 1 / sqrt(1 - (v/c)²) = 1/sqrt(1 - 0.9²) = 2.29

To travel 87,400 light years at near light speed, in a subjective time of a month requires a dilation of 87400 years * 12 months / year = 1048800, with a speed of:

(1-(1/1048800)²) c = 0.9999999999990908 c

which is about 0.27 mm/s slower than the speed of light.

For comparison, the protons at CERN only hit 0.999999991 c (https://public-archive.web.cern.ch/en/LHC/Facts-en.html) and the electrons at SLAC only hit 0.99999999995 c (https://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/slacpubs/5500/slac-pub-56...).

True, but the same can be said of many things; e.g. biology just looks like P(reproduction|environment), the economy just looks like P(profit|markets), etc.

There can still be rich structure inside, and useful abstractions to describe them.

I do not think so. The point is to create a negative impression around the phrase, so that the focus is moved from the truth value of the statement to the totally irrelevant question of it being offensive or not.
I remember a radio ad (before IDN, obviously), where a company having an "ö" in their name had to repeatedly tell their customers that their domain is written "oe" instead. I'm sure this issue has cost them some real money.

HOAs are great and necessary for maintaining common property. For the building I live in, it would be awkward if everybody had to hire their own painters for the outside woodwork, for example. Parts of the building would be maintained poorly, and that ultimately affects everybody. If you want to change something structurally about your house (for example, we wanted to cut some windows in a blind wall), that could also influence the structural integrity of the building as a whole, so you need permission for the HOA for that (we did).

Our HOA does a lot more than that: organise the occasional party, drink, or movie, manage a street-side gallery that's part of the building, manage a commonly owned apartment that can be rented for guests or other purposes, etc.

But regulating people's gardens is just weird. Well, trimming the commonly owned greenery is also something the HOA members do together and we're always asked to help (and never do), and of course we discuss stuff that affects our neighbours with those neighbours, and we barely have gardens because we live in a city, but anything interesting garden-wise is generally welcomed. The idea of a HOA banning vegetable or eco-friendly gardens is nuts.

And this is in a single building. If you're talking US-style free-standing suburban houses, it quickly gets a lot more ridiculous.
How would that be represented on the wire? I don’t think restricting it in that way makes sense.
Show HN: AI Swiss Army knife for devs in IDE to debug, test code, ask questions
As we have been working on helping developers collaborate and accelerate their productivity, we started to look at ways to enlist AI in this cause. We started working with various AI models.

That led us to launching Bito AI today on Product Hunt. If you have a Product Hunt account, we’d love your support: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/use-bito-ai-to-be-a-10x-de...

Bito AI, https://bito.co, is like a Swiss Army knife for developers, enabling them to use AI to 10x their productivity. Our tool lives in the developer’s IDE and in Chrome and makes it easy via an intuitive chat interface to write code, understand syntax, write test cases, explain code, comment code, check security, and even explain high level concepts.

Trained on billions of lines of code and millions of documents, leveraging OpenAI, we think it’s pretty incredible what we can help devs do without having to search the web or waste time on tedious stuff.

Check out our 2-minute video: https://bit.ly/BitoDemo . If you want to enjoy a laugh at our expense, check out our Bear-Human GPT-6 Dall-e 2 demo: https://bit.ly/3Ya9NWy

Getting the data under version control with dolt
Ask HN: What backup strategy for laptop with small internal storage?
Hi Community,

I work on a MacBook Pro with a 250 GB internal drive. Suppose that all my files make up 500 GB, 200 GB of which I need on my laptop at any time and 300 GB I am happy to archive on an external hard drive.

What is the best backup strategy assuming that I don't want any of the data to be pushed to the Cloud?

Currently, I have a large enough external hard drive that stores my Time Machine Backups plus a separate directory that contains the 300 GB.

In case my laptop fails, I have my Time Machine backup. In case my external hard drive fails, my 300 GB archive is gone.

Is the best solution to get a second hard drive to mirror the first? If so, what software allows me to easily do that?

I suppose this is a common situation for Mac users due to the expensive storage and I would appreciate to hear about your approaches. Thanks!

He should at least clarify how his attitude towards freedom of speech on Twitter has developed. Personally I think he's being disingenuous as he doesn't seem to care about other people's safety following even his own tweets, so although I can understand him putting his own family first, he should now appreciate that his previous stance on absolute free speech is untenable.

Real world data says that unless you spend insane amounts on it and then pretend the reactors that shut down decades early due to issues or destroyed themseves don't exist, or are China then something goes wrong and forces a shut down or low output about 20% of the time.

In most regions you can get a lower forced downtime rate for a lower cost with renewables, and then you also get the curtailed energy to feed dispatchable loads. You need the electrolysers anyway for chemical feed, and you need storage to meet variable loads so it's just a matter of which can be deployed faster.

Additionally you get a very long forced downtime when you burn through your Uranium reserves in under a decade by trying to provide current final energy.
No, it's broadcasting the movements of a set of aircraft, using publicly available data. There is no information about who is on board those aircraft.

Nobody has any right to privacy regarding the flight movements of their aircraft, and indeed any idea in that light is antithetical to the entire principal of air traffic control and safe air travel. The idea that people would not be able to track his aircraft if this account is gone is ludicrous, as there are both other flight tracking websites, the ability in some areas to get full flight plans, and even if you're a stalker the ability to just listen into ATC radio near the routes his aircraft use.

You even have spotters who spend all their days at airports logging all aircraft and posting the results online, as they've done for decades, so there's no way for aircraft movements to remain secret for long.

By buying private jets and choosing to use them exclusively, Musk himself gave up his right to any privacy when flying on them. He has other options, such as flying commercially or chartering aircraft, as others in his position have done, but has chosen not to use them. He's now trying to change the rules for everyone else to carve out an exception for himself and other super wealthy individuals.

It's rank hypocrisy and bullying and I'm amazed so many people on HN are supporting him in this, and choosing to believe him rather than reading up on how open this data already is.
