I read that as saying that all public GitHub repos can be copied and republished on GitHub, but that doesn't include the right to _modify_ the code. The latter could only be granted by a license. Of which, there is none on Auto's work. And there's none known for any of the work of other contributors.

So while you can "fork" it, it's not forking it in the FOSS sense.
Alternatively:
What case could I make in the "exit interview" or whenever the package is being offered to make a counter-offer and have it considered, without necessarily having to secure legal representation?

The more plausible story is that some distributor somewhere sold a couple shipping containers worth of these commodity parts from a place that doesn’t really give a damn what the US says (except for making sure to fake some paperwork or whatever), like China. Or some random county in Eastern Europe. Or Africa.

They sell 100’s of millions of these parts to pretty much everyone, and they’re dirt cheap.

That TI ‘made them’ (not really, outsourced usually) then ‘sold them’ (not really, almost certainly. TI doesn’t do direct deals like that for pretty much anyone!) is a narrative that is pretty implausible considering how the supply chains actually work for these components.
HR also plays little tricks during hiring to see if candidate accepts lowball offers. They put pressure for signing offer saying that there are couple other equally good candidates for the same position. PS - I had first hand experience. found out too late that there were no other candidates waiting for offer :|

I doubt (but have no evidence to disprove) that simulated child porn causes viewers to act on those desires in the real world.

It's not as if people will be "converted" to child porn by viewing these images; rather, it will be viewed by people who already have a predisposition to such content. My gut says it might reduce real-world incidence if they can get their rocks off to digital content, rather than feeling compelled to do so in reality.

But as you pointed out, there is very little credible research on this topic, so it's hard to say conclusively.
If it was how they were meant to work then iOS would have looked like WebOS, with all first party apps written in HTML and JS.

The reason devs rejected Jobs' "write web apps" pitch, which was only ever about the SDK, store and APIs not being ready in time, was because it was so clearly not what Apple themselves were doing. Nor could they hope to match the quality of Apple's apps without using the same APIs.
HR departments grew out of fear of compliance with the amorphous legal incentive structures created by federal discrimination laws in the 1970s https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/3322830/Dobbin_S...

> The continuing ambiguity of compliance standards led management writers to advocate permanent antidiscrimination offices to track legal shifts. Because the courts were so fickle, Marino (1980, p. 25) advised executives to adopt the “Good-Faith-Effort Strategy,” the heart of which was a special office designed to signal that the employer was making every effort to figure out how to comply. In a Harvard Business Review article, Antonia Chayes (1974, p. 81) noted that “vigorous enforcement” had brought “serious top management attention to antidiscrimination legislation....Now the penalties imposed under employment discrimination laws are seen as posing a severe financial threat.” She advised executives to set up EEO and AA programs that could prevent lawsuits. Meanwhile, compensation of upper managers was being tied to affirmative action performance, and this led them to support dedicated antidiscrimination departments.

> For example the Kia EV6 specs list a max fast charging rate of 350 kW but what that actually means is that you need a 350 kW charging station to reach the car's actual max charging speed of 240 kW

> it's really frustrating how hard it is to compare charge speed from different manufacturers

Is the discrepancy just the inefficiency (i.e. waste heat) of the charging circuitry and/or battery chemistry? And if so, do different EV battery+charger systems have significantly different efficiencies?

I would have expected that the consumer-facing spec is always the power taken from the grid, that there is always some inefficiency (you can draw less energy from the batteries than came out of the grid), and that the level of efficiency would be roughly similar across all cars.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be much of a problem to compare charging rates across cars. But perhaps one or more of my expectations are wrong.

Oh, and EVs presumably vary wildly in their "fuel economy" (miles per kilowatt-hour or whatever unit EV folks use), so even a "fair" comparison of charging rate presumably wouldn't paint the entire picture.
But does "free market" mean you are free to pollute the air and cause a climate crisis? Is that the kind of freedom we want?

HR is not your union, HR is not a government labor board. It pays to keep that in mind.
Was kinda expecting this but then again it was still only under "new" with 3 votes, so I had doubts that it was maybe just me.
When you're reliant on them, every single HR dept I've hard to deal with (across many companies) has been incompetent. It's too the point I have systems in place to cover their inevitable screw up.

e.g. I was living in the US and had to go for a business trip to the UK and my company put up in the Ritz Carlton in London (a very fancy and very expensive hotel, especially during new year).

However the HR person thought that having a $50 max total spend for my corporate credit card (for an international trip) was fine. Note the hotel room was probably around $550 per night (times by a week).

Luckily my personal credit card, which had an extremely low cap as I had just moved to the US and had really no credit score, managed to cover it.

Of course no apologies and were blase about it when I spoke to them.

If we behaved like this on our dev teams, we'd all get fired.
Many companies are moving away from calling it that. Let's not pretend it's like that everywhere. I can't recall the last place I worked that actually called it "Human Resources".
Hardly surprising. Besides fraud, in science you're not overturning past experimental data, you are adding to it, forming an ever more complete and accurate view of reality. Disruption really just means stumbling upon something unexpected. Once you know there is something there, it opens up a whole world of new avenues for studying in that space, but it doesn't really make it any easier to find something unexpected again.

Consider for example deep sea archaeology. When you find a shipwreck, there's going to be a flurry of activity as people study the shipwreck, and the more they answer the questions they started with, the more new questions they are going to want to ask, so even long after the initial discovery there's going to be a continuous string of studies refining knowledge about that wreck. And this is true of every wreck. But finding one shipwreck doesn't generally make it easier to find the next, assuming the same resources, new wrecks are going to be discovered at a pretty steady rate. So the number of discovered wrecks grows linearly, but with each being revisited regularly, the cumulative amount of research done on all wrecks grows geometrically.

Similarly discovering a new chemical opens up many possibilities for studying that chemical, likewise for a new phylum of bacteria, a new type of star, you can only see something for the first time once, but you can take closer looks forever. We should expect the ratio of new things to look like a graph of 1/x.

Perhaps it's weird that the absolute number of disruptive papers is holding steady. While there are competing forces at work - on the one hand we have more scientists with better instruments, but on the other hand the low hanging fruit is gone and they must go ever further to find something new - there's no fundamental reason these two forces should perfectly counterbalance. I might posit our society has a certain appetite for discovery and we adjust our allocation of resources to science and innovation to maintain this continuous stream of disruptions, but I at least feel that scientific breakthroughs tend to excite people about science and desire to double down on science, not pull back. Perhaps more realistically we just move the goal posts as to what we consider disruptive such that the top X discoveries of the year are always "groundbreaking." Regardless of the why, this definitely the more interesting part of the story.
Can't reply on the other one (max depth?) so replying here.

Nobody in the west is currently using "more than their fair share" in terms of uranium or lithium, except maybe EV owners :D

Uranium is completely underused because of the irrational fearmongering since the 70s, which is the reason we have the global warming problem to begin with. If we'd gone all-in on nuclear, we'd be practically carbon zero now.

So your claim that the poor aren't getting their fair share of stuff/energy because the rich are using too much is just plainly false.
The 'bad experiences' with HR are usually because of some employees not understanding who HR serves - I also have never had a problem with HR; you only deal with HR on your first day and last day for the most part.

> Why the law suits.

Because the contracts between Amazon and the publishers do not permit this kind of work.

Like, this is (legally) a pretty open and shut issue. Amazon has a license from the publisher for the book that permits a certain range of activities that are contemplated by the contract: showing short excerpts for marketing for example.

IP licenses are carefully constructed, often because the rights are sold to different parties. You may for example license a book to adapt into a movie, but the contract would likely forbid you from adapting it for a TV show. The publisher may sell those two rights separately to two different parties.

And these contracts likely either specifically forbid constructing an audiobook (automated or otherwise) from the original book, or at least do not contemplate it. That is a clear source of lawsuits where Amazon is likely clearly in the wrong.

Another reply here mentions that the publishes do not "like" that Amazon went ahead and did this without consultation. That may very well be true - but more importantly (and constructively) it's likely that Amazon's behavior is specifically forbidden in the contract they voluntarily signed on to with the publisher.
The nominal ‘manufacturers’ of the chips (TI) are forbidden from doing business with Iran.

They’re so far from what happens on the ground though, who actually ends up with one of the chips in their hand has pretty much nothing to do with them.
All the option parsing is done in functions called by the macros. The "getopt string" isn't needed since the GETOPT_OPT() and GETOPT_OPTARG() "case statements" convey the same information (the set of valid options).
They don't understand the potential, they just repeat same info for years.
Not in one day, and there's been a lot more violence than that on Metro, including shootings and stabbings. I'm much more comfortable with the risk on the highway, which is in many ways contingent on my own behaviors. Rational or not, I suspect many, many people agree with me. Likewise, buses were hilarious during the pandemic. Nobody wanted anything to do with them, and that's increasingly true every cold and flu season. How many people do communicable viruses contracted by mass transit kill every year? These are not flip comments. I'm just making the case that there's a reason people prefer cars, and it's not just because of some failure to build sufficient mass transit.
I still find switch statements easier on the eye than a chain of if-else-if-...else.

It's utterly bizarre how people keep scape goating HR.

It's the typical situation that whenever HR goes out of their way to make "everyone" happy, no one says acknowledges it. But Management can hide behind "HR" and employees love blaming HR, because that is the person they interact with the most.
> Your trains are bad. America's trains are bad. They don't have to be.

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle. The odds of the US or Britain improving their rail systems in order for them to be more efficient/usable are vanishingly slim, to the point that we should likely bake their crappy nature into our assumptions of requirements.

We can't even figure out how (here in the US) to build subway tunnels as cheaply as ones in Europe, if I recall right. I am very skeptical that we will ever manage to approach the ideal here, for a variety of reasons (suburban / car-centric lifecycle being so deeply embedded here, etc) which I don't think can be addressed by science. It seems like an economic problem, where paying to rebuild everything is so expensive that no one will do it in the short term, even if the long term gains could be great.
I am an experienced developer.
> For example, if you're being harassed, it's very often in the company's interest to stop that happening.

I agree with this. However, the implementation might not be what the employee would expect. If the victim is moved to another team or fired and the aggressor doesn't face any consequences, the harassment was still stopped, so I guess mission accomplished?

I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that if you're in such a position, reach out to HR only after you have secured your own legal protection and never expect nor trust the company to be on your side.
So after three years, they've ported "all four root screens" in React Native?

I can't fathom how broken each of their platform's codebases must have been to require everyone to learn a whole new paradigm to start over from scratch. Further more, they are presumably causing the same code quality issues because "React Native was a completely new tech stack for [their engineers]." So the codebases were so broken that they had to rewrite them and they chose a system that most of them are learning as they go.

Love it lmaoo
I’m trying to think of cases where it might accidentally come up, and all I can think of is something like “oops I used complex but my values are actually real.”
Can you explain, in detail, why you believe that making a statement about the scientific output of a country, as measured by paper quality, is necessarily racist? In particular, I'm going to challenge you on this because the "racism" argument has been used as an easy cop-out to denigrate an opinion all-too-commonly.

Please just explain your thinking of why it's "racist". Assume your reader is aware of the effects of socioeconomic status, national ambitions to become a science powerhouse, and the incentives to publish groundbreaking work.
Sadly, this concept somehow feels very much counter to American culture.

Apple would absolutely get sued by publishers, but, I don't think that Apple providing a high quality narration tool with their phone which can be used on any ebook would infringe licensing terms. It's not like they'd be saying "Here is this specific title for you to read/buy/rent", they'd be releasing a tool with the power to do that.

> An ebike isn't a serious replacement for cars used by families in most of the world.

"Most of the world" is a big place.

Are there more cars or mopeds in the world? I assume that the typical family in Asia has either a scooter or no vehicle, so an ebike would be an improvement for them. Probably the same for Africa and a lot of South America. I'm confident that numerically there are more families without cars in the world than with.

I mention this to demonstrate that most of the world doesn't have cars, and they get along ok. Such a thing is not impossible.
If only there was some kind of way to clear visual blockages on cars. Without that, any kind of driving (automated or not) would be pretty difficult ;)
Actually the donations may well be clawed back in the bankruptcy proceedings, depending how recent they are.
One way to view those is to go into your profile and flip “showdead” to yes. Careful of the zombies though.
The argument is basically that trade secrets violations are incredibly hard to detect and pursue. You can’t see inside a person’s brain, and (short of industrial espionage) you can’t see inside a competitor either. So a person could come work for you, gain some knowledge of your trade secrets, and then go get a huge offer from a competitor based on that knowledge.

In contrast, it is extremely easy to detect a person’s employer.

I’m not saying this is a valid or correct argument, I’m saying this is one of the arguments.

Another argument (that I know less about) is that there is knowledge that is valuable and proprietary, but does not actually qualify as “trade secrets” under those laws.

Everyone is free to hold their own personal beliefs as long they don't prevent others from holding theirs. Some people will agree with you, others disagree.

There is very little difference in addictive triggers. All of them trigger the reward center in the brain in a very similar ways. Any time they get triggered there is a associated risk of affecting peoples behavior towards more triggering. We could put people into a brain scanner and identify what specific triggers that person reward center, and then ask them to abstain from that trigger for 1 year. The outcome would be very predictable. It would be like asking a cocaine user to abstain, but individualized to each person based on what trigger their reward center. No one is immune, through individuals will have different amount of struggle to ignore their own reward center.

I also have a standing challenge to anyone who want to argue that the profession should be illegal. Write a generic law that makes it illegal but which does not mention the word sex or the concept of it. As an example: It should illegal to consent to work unless a person would be willing to do it without being paid, as otherwise it is exploitation of that person need for money.
Looks like posting this to Hacker News got it packaged for Nixpkgs¹! I had to add it via package override when the article came out, but it's since been added to Nixpkgs. :)

If you're a NixOS newbie and you don't want to wait for the PR to land, you can add it with a package override by pasting in the function body from the PR and prepending a `with` expression for the original Nixpkgs used in the override, like:

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = superPkgs: {
ov = with superPkgs; buildGoModule rec {
pname = "ov";
version = "0.13.0";
<...>
meta = with lib; {
description = "Feature-rich terminal-based text viewer";
homepage = "https://noborus.github.io/ov";
license = licenses.mit;
platforms = platforms.linux ++ platforms.darwin;
};
};
};

Hopefully in a week or two, Nixpkgs will provide another convenient way for Linux and macOS users to quickly try out this new pager! I know I'll be following along to see how it develops. :)

Thanks! Congrats on the 16kg.

I've been trying to eat more since I was 20 (am 34 now). It's been getting more difficult as I get older, especially with the onset of IBS a few years ago - now more foods and what used to be regular quantities cause my stomach to balloon.

All my experimentation has landed me on.. a mostly meat diet. Which I don't love (it's expensive, kills animals, impacts climate) but I can digest it more easily than vegetables or grains.

Oats are my everyday ~500cal first meal. If you find them unpalatable, try my recipe (it's literally my favorite thing to eat):

Combine in a jar night before and leave in fridge: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2-1cup water/alt milk (amount depending on consistency you enjoy), half scoop flavorless protein powder, tbsp peanut butter, raisins, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, maybe 1/2 banana (if you need it to be a little sweeter).

I prepare mason jars with dry ingredients for the week, and add water to one or two every evening and put in fridge. Oat+raisin+pb combo tastes like my fav cliff bar. Banana + walnut are also amazing together.

I also recently got a vitamix and have been making vegetable smoothies midday to try and get more of them in my diet. I still cannot drink more than 500ml, else extreme fullness and bloating, but it's something. I'll add oats + avocado + protein powder to make it a meal with proper macros, but then I get to regular dinner time mostly full :)

Eating when full is a real bane for me. But there's bigger fish to fry in life, so I'll be a skinny guy.
