Responding in good faith does not just mean that you stand by what you write. It also means that you respond taking the person you're replying to at face value, without omitting important context or exaggerating the situation. Claiming that the other party is "monstrous" and saying that they'll have blood on their hands is in no way appropriate here, especially considering that:

* The discussion is in a thread about SLAPP, with the point of contention being that Elon is suing to intimidate rather than for damages

* Elon has, in the past, implicitly and explicitly demonstrated approval of such activities

* It is unclear whether the information led to the attack

That, plus that fact that the money is not going to run the account directly, but pay for legal fees in the court case.

There's a lot of discussion here on all these topics. Ignoring them completely and jumping immediately to a conclusion that lets you call someone a horrible person is not reasonable or responding in good faith. You can make your point and disagree without lowering the quality of discussion.
So he's not a big fan of free speech after all, I see. Censoring publicly, required-by-law, freely available data is definitely not something a free speech absolutist like Elon should do. Just my two cents. Make of that what you will.
You can pay for it. With youtube red. No ads, whoever you watch gets compensated fairly.
That's not really the point though: we have to notify our users of any changes to our legal agreements regardless. We are using GitHub to make these changes as transparent as possible. Because of such legal notifications it would be very obvious if such tampering was going on based on the effective dates of the policies. Again, we're being this transparent because we want to do everything we can to protect our users security and privacy.
I cleared 4gb out of my npm package cache the other day. Never in any version of the history of software was I expecting to end up with gigabytes of javascript on my machine, but here we are.
And publicly available satellite imagery can track the movements of your car. Depending on the country you live in, the fact that you own the car is also publicly available information.

That doesn’t mean somebody putting those pieces of information together and regularly tweeting your movements isn’t creating a security risk for you. The choice that you make to buy a car or drive it in public also doesn’t mean that you have to welcome automated stalking.
Personally, I have disabled IDN (enabled show-punycode)... If I there was a way to just whitelist the 3 extra characters in my language, I might allow it.

Also, Firefox sadly has all individual countries TLDs enabled by default if I enable the whitelist. It should be the opposite.
Its how a website should be in my opinion. The only real complaint you could have with Hacker News is that maybe the font is too small but you can just fix that by using the zoom function on your browser.
Just of note, there are some countries where it’s very easy to work remotely from.

Eg UAE- specifically Dubai, with its virtual work visa [1]. Only thing you need to provide is healthcare (you must buy a Dubai-specific healthcare policy) and everything else they don’t care about. Your outside-UAE employer can treat you however is permitted by their local laws.

Also note: if you’re not an American, and aren’t tax resident in America, but are working for a US company while not physically in the US, the IRS simply doesn’t consider you employed. So truly no tax.

However if you are in UAE but working for a UK company, there is still some tax to pay (National Insurance tax).

Another option: Open devtools and run

or

It would be an implementation detail, why would the ISA spec need to cover it?
> Then if you do change opinion then you should be as equally public about it as you were previously.

He tweeted about it, and I gave you the tweet. It's equally public because his initial opinion is also a tweet. Isn't that enough?

> For that to be relevant to ElonJet he would have to specify which laws ElonJet broke.

It causes indirect harm to his family that led to the current stalker incident.
The best tool I ever used to learn about circuits was a Radio Shack electronics kit. It was something I could pick away at for years as kid, and eventually develop an intuitive sense for reading a schematic.

I believe that Elenco continues to make a version of it: https://shop.elenco.com/consumers/electronic-playground-130....
That's one way. Or you use something like slippers[0] or Tailwind components using @apply.

I think it can be safely ruled out. TypeScript tenet which they consistently uphold is that types can't influence behavior of the running code.

So to differentiate behavior depending of which part of sum type you got you need some value in the "real world" like a tag that can enable you to do that. Because all the type information is gone at runtime.

Strongest violation of this rule I know of are enums that generate their own JS code, but they are their separate thing. Something like sum types would need to be present everywhere.

Honestly I kind of like it this way. I'm trying out Rust right now and I'm very often surprised how what I do in one spot depends on huge context of all the generic types that can create wildly different behavior (mostly huge variety compile type error messages in surprisingly varied and distant spots) depending on what types they infer.
According to mlinder's comment below, Jack is doing a bit more that isn't public.

> This confuses the issue though. ICAO numbers change if your aircraft is enrolled in the PIA program, which Elon is. Sweeny was bypassing this by using people on the ground to circumvent this by watching the jet's movement and if an aircraft was going to takeoff that had an unknown ICAO number he'd have someone at the airport to figure out it was Elon's jet that had changed it's ICAO number.
> You list major barriers around legal presence (the cost of deel) and compliance, what more do you want?

Exactly what you posted :-)

I have rough thoughts. I'm curious about other people's thoughts, experiences, and opinions. Hence "Ask HN"

Thanks a lot, you've given me some nuggets to think about.
> The comment that you're quoting wasn't mine.

The comment I originally quoted was yours. The second quote is adapted from a statement you denied. It is thus your statement. Let me put both sections together since you seem unwilling to do so:

>> Utf8 would not help with the issue in the article in any way.

> It's not at all obvious how it helps, but it does.

So you are stating, unambiguously, that "Utf8 would help deal with the issue [of garbage inputs]".

> In the comment you link to says "UTF-8 by convention".

The comment I link says:

> Treating paths as UTF-8 works very well

Which is either

1. wrong

or

2. nonsensical, given the later statement that you should not "require your UTF-8 strings to be valid", which would make them not UTF-8

> If you're concatenating two strings that are both invalid UTF-8, there's not much you can do that's better than just concatenating the bytes together... which is exactly what treating them as byte arrays would end up doing

But that's the point innit? You're asserting semantics which don't hold and which you break with no regard.

> (but it's less convenient).

Is it now? Here's the concatenation of two strings:

a + b

here's the concatenation of two byte arrays:

a + b

You're right, the inconvenience makes me shudder. What horror. What indignity.
In the ideal scenario yes but they don't have to be: you can use Onin as a modern, E2EE personal calendar on your own. We're seeing the most common pattern in the private beta for people to plan on existing chat services and then move the event into Onin once arranged, effectively replacing the legacy email invite system of current calendars. From there the Onin event becomes the destination for the continued planning/chatting/sharing photos etc.

I’m an iOS dev and yes Xcode is trash. We migrated to SwiftUI since we thought it will get us out of UIKit hell, and then it is much worse than we thought. Xcode just couldn’t handle very large complex codebase.
I’ve been doing this in Sweden on and off for 20 years, in between jobs or entrepreneurial endeavors. I’d like to go fully remote and completely global though.

Already have a Swedish limited liability company (“aktiebolag”) but thinking about relocating to Estonia, Ireland or Malta. Do you think it matters what jurisdiction you set up shop in?

One thing I’ve noticed is that Swedish startups in general like to hire people as employees because they think that increases the value of their companies more. Is this something you see internally too? If so, how do you get around it?

I can't understand how the banks in the US are so crappy. Here in Finland we've had instantaneous and free bank transfers for like 20-30 years. I used to wonder why the hell is Paypal so big, but then I learned that it's mainly because it provides functions that all the normal banks here provide, but none in the US do. The same goes for most of the fintech. There is much less market for these companies because the major banks are already doing what they are offering in some form.

I, too, always recreate double blind experiments before I take the drugs my doctor gives me :)

I also double-check the transistors in my computer work correctly before I run any code on them, and of course I re-derive the physics to be able to do that :)

In practice you are an expert in a very small domain (if any) and in all the other domains you have no choice but to accept somebody's authority.

Out-of-order execution is a feature of the microarchitecture, not the ISA. That is, RISC-V is an instruction set - it defines the language you use to describe work to the processor. Any given RISC-V processor needs to understand that language, but how it actually does the work is up to it. Out-of-order execution means that the CPU, internally, won't necessarily do the work in the order given, which lets it use its internal resources more efficiently...but externally there should be no observable difference.
The 'myth' of qwerty is a libertarian fable, popularized by economists who believe that the market is infallible.

If we were all using an inferior product due to lock-in, network effects or path dependency, then the free market would be flawed and need regulated. So they wrote a lot of propaganda to make it seem like any popular example of path dependency (e.g. qwerty, vhs, recycling, fossil fuels causing climate change) was in fact just the market magically finding the best solution and ignoring all evidence to the contrary.
At $599 a month per employee. I also still need the answers to all of those questions per country, even if Remote is the company handling it.
Asking for permission increases user experience friction by a ton. Especially since Web permissions aren't all at once but page dependent.

Even something like asking for camera permission isn't obvious all the time. Tried to build a PWA with camera as the focus, but users weren't always aware of the cam permission. Sometimes it slightly bugged and the cam took a few seconds to load or didn't at all.
- Security and trust. Our ISO27001 process requires that we run a background check before people can log in to systems. Locally, you have known places to do background checks. Internationally it is more difficult.

- Monoculture. While diversity is valuable, monoculture teams generally run teams. Banter is easier (less likelihood of people being offended), relationships between team members form easier (collegues become 'friends'), conflict is easier to resolve. Never mind different regions around the world, it can be difficult to integrate different genders or ages into existing teams. This especially happens when team members get to interview candidates, they will (subconciously) favour people that are similar to themselves. When you have limited management skills or time, a smoothly running team is useful.
Show me how publicly available satellite imagery could offer anywhere close to the same level of tracking that is federally mandated and available for aircraft, and I might take that argument more seriously.

This account wasn't even 'putting those pieces of information together', he was tweeting it directly from ADSB Exchange, one of a number of collators of ADS-B Out data.

Aircraft movements are not private and haven't been for decades. If you want privacy in your air travel, don't fly everywhere on 1-3 well known private jets.

I don't think there's a way to satisfy your criteria.

Nitpick, but I don't think this is necessarily correct - if the end client has _no_ UK presence, then the "old rules" apply for IR35, i.e. the contractor is responsible for determining their own status.

If the end client has some UK presence (a branch, etc), then yes the "new rules" apply and the end client is responsible for determination.
Proteus mixed mode simulation is here from... let me look it up... 1996! 26 years for now.

Did they really "admit" this or was this just a strategy to get out of the lawsuit? Maybe it really was negligence on their part.

Boston University still mandates the Covid vaccines:

Boston University students, faculty, and staff must complete a COVID-19 initial vaccination series and a single COVID-19 booster shot.

Faculty and staff who are not in compliance with the vaccination booster requirement will be placed on an unpaid leave of absence in accordance with the terms of the employee handbook, relevant collective bargaining agreement, or Faculty Handbook until they comply with the vaccine requirement or the risk of infection from COVID-19 is deemed to have ended as determined by Boston University.

We have the equivalent of HOAs in Norway, I think, for large buildings. You usually buy, not rent, an apartment, and the building has a board, or group of residents that manages the property, carries out infrastructure work (sewer and water plumbing, facade repairs, common area maintenance).

Usually when you buy the apartment you’re made aware of the outstanding balance on the building’s maintenance fund and everyone pays an equal share of this each month.

Sometimes they get a little picky on things but never to the craziness that I see in the US. Mostly it’s handled with common sense and the lives (and finances) of the residents in mind.
You covered all the bases. Might I add the crash stacktrace in Organizer is hit or miss too.
Very cool. I threw on a 9 volt power supply and attached a wire across both terminals and clicked "simulate".......

Smoke starts coming out of the battery. I wondered what it would do, nice it does that.
These services help some issues but don't solve all of them, just a few off the top of my head:

Legal differences can be significant - for example, in France it may be difficult legally to ask an employee to put in more than their contracted hours compared to another country where this could be very normal.

A recent example in the news is the Twitter layoffs - in the EU they may have enacted layoffs that aren't legal there but are perfectly legal in the US.

Taxes in different countries can mean there's a significant difference in the difference between the amount an employer pays and the employee receives per country. Sometimes it's negligible enough for the employer to foot the bill, sometimes it's large enough they may need to pass on the difference. This can get even more complicated when share options come in to play.

If you are responsible for this it all really starts to add up, ultimately the more countries you employ in, the more cognitive overhead which can impact an organisation's agility (or require them to take more risks).
In France you can't hire somebody as a Freelance if you are actually his/her only client, the regulators will say you have too much power over that freelance and that she/he should be re-qualified as an employee.
> until I see some actual evidence

Until you see some actual evidence, Elon cannot take actions to protect his family? That is ridiculous.

Even without this incident, having a twitter tracking your real-time movement already presents danger to your family. Even you yourself wouldn't like it.

> And if I were a billionaire and worried about parties tracking my vehicle in real time I would be up front about it rather than to make grand statements about absolute free speech and leaving that particular account up.

What does this have to do with his family's safety?

Apparently, he prioritizes family's safety over being called hypocrisy. This is a good thing, right? We all agree that Elon is taking a good action, right?

It's strange that you argue the other way around. It's like you want people to not prioritize family's safety. Weird.

> I also would not use easily identifiable vehicles such as private aircraft.

Ah the victim blaming. it's not the stalker's fault. It's the victim's fault that chooses the type of the vehicle.
Yep! We've spent the better part of the last 2 years building out the infrastructure and all key stakeholders in house in every country(Lawyers, Payroll, Accounting) and have entities in most places now. We still work with partners in China but hopefully we'll have the full legal set up and licenses there soon!
Any concrete numbers on that? I'd speculate there'd only be trace amounts: solar photochemistry is pretty slow, and rock weathering eats up any free molecular oxygen. Not sure of the relative rates.
Dismantling Sellafield: the epic task of shutting down a nuclear site
I love this sort of news article! In a world with grand, sweeping historic moments - war, disease, love, triumph and tragedy, where humanity is preparing to build an interplanet colony, this one snake - and the fact that it took a drink - has been acknowledged by many humans around the globe. We've taken the time to marvel at this creature having a sip of water. And it's none the wiser, it's just going about its life.

There's no angle, no promo, no agenda, just here's a snake, it took a drink.

Beautiful.
Reminds me of (and may be related to) hybristophilia - when a person has a sexual interest in those who commit heinous crimes.

The Wikipedia page for this phenomenon is pretty interesting. Particularly the "causes" and "history" sections.

There are some SIGNIFICANT downsides as an employee to using an employer of record. It's another example of companies reducing employee rights and outsourcing risk and responsibiility.

1 - No equity. The legal company structure prevents you getting equity in the company.

2 - Significantly reduced employment rights. During the current waves of layoffs people employed through these type of arrangements found they had significantly less rights than normal employees, primarily due to fewer people being employed this way did not meet the usual thresholds for redundancy planning and payouts.

A friend of mine employed through an employer of record was "made redundant" and was offered exactly zero notice, severance or payout. When he tried to negotiate they effectively told him to sue them, knowing it will take significant time and legal costs to bring forward a claim.

I think that often depends on where you live. The Nest makes no sense where I live, so basically no one knows about it. Our homes simple aren't wire/configured in a way that a Nest Thermostat is of any use.

The connection itself can be hard to block, but with public DNS resolvers still using dedicated IP addresses I don't think this is as effective as intended.

Just DoH won't save you from an oppressive government and neither will DoT. You can run DoT on port 443 and it'll appear as normal TLS traffic as well. Unless the state actors are doing extensive fingerprinting (that will expose DoH servers as well) I doubt it'll make a difference in situations where DoH makes sense. In areas where occasional government TLS MitM attacks are common, neither DoH nor DoT will protect you.
tried this recently but like most alternative browsers, if it doesnt have support for ublock or dark reader then im usually back to firefox after a day or so.

theres also another extension that i cant think of the name. it adds the url to the title of the window so that keepass/autotype can detect what site it is.

i have a few other extensions but i would be willing to forego them if the browser was that good
For me it's a great feature because it means that the code has purely javascript semantics not influenced by andy generic type magic that happens on compile time.

Occasionally I bump in the same things as you when I'd like to have some JS code generated on the basis of TS type information. I think there could be some preprocessing tools that could generate JS validators on the basis of TS code.

Now, trying Rust I strongly appreciate this separation. In Rust what your code DOES might depend on what you are going to do in the future with the result it returns. It's really shocking for me and makes finding errors really hard when the spot of the error messages jumps wildly across large chunk of your code as I change it.

I really prefer TS philosophy of "types are for you and your text editor and the actual code is for runtime".
yes, the rules are different from country to country. Worth looking into it.
