The power imbalance is such that it won’t matter if a non-compete clause is enforceable or not. If it scares former workers from trying, they are in effect despite never actually being enforced. I think this is probably true of most workers which sign them.
How curious: I have a small children's book I picked up at the California Academy of Sciences entitled, "The ABCs of particle physics," made by a joint collaboration between Fermilab and SLAC [1], and here I find another poem in the same vein!

I walk more than anyone I know, and faster than anyone I know. These things look good in pure technological terms and I don't think it matters that they seem silly, all innovation looks like mere novelty on its first outing.

But where they would not work for me is the ability to feel the ground all the time, from texture and incline to cracks and random objects. I wear regular trainers or skate shoes most of the time, but even in heavy boots/sandals designed not to have any flex in the sole, tactile feedback is important. I just can't see the wheels and gears delivering that the same way, nor lasting through the varieties of surfaces and forces that hard walking involves. I feel they would work great in a campus environment where you can high construction standards.

A less obvious issue is that fast walking isn't just a fitness/surface matter. Most people are slow so maintaining a steady pace requires a surprising amount of lateral movement and mini-pivots, shifting one's weight around and so on. I suspect the blissful gliding depicted in the product videos involved a level of mutual awareness of and respect for other people's space and momentum that is often lacking in busy environments.

> The evidence suggests otherwise. When states wield their power on rights, it's usually against the interests of their people

States decriminalizing pot, for one, would be an example of state law trying to broaden liberties that federal law restricts. Or Massachusetts legalizing same-sex marriage long before the US Congress did anything about it. Or even at a smaller level, San Francisco city officials doing so before the state of California did.

There's plenty of examples where a more local decision went in furtherance of liberties than a more distant decision, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that politicians become more enlightened and virtuous the higher up in the federation they go.

> The existence of this as a state law would only serve to exist in opposition to states that don't, to the detriment of their citizens.

I'm not sure I follow. I think it's perfectly fine to let the fifty laboratories of democracy play this out, keeping the locus of control as close to the people as possible. The people of California have shown that the lack of noncompetes doesn't necessarily impede commerce or progress; the people of other states may learn from that and follow, or decide otherwise. And if those states that keep enforcing noncompetes do end up doing poorer for their people, they will change the law, or vote with their feet.

I mean, if you want the counter example; we already have it. Texas and Massachusetts both had much more developed and supported engineering industries + talent pools in the first half+ of the 1900s. Talent specifically moved to California to be able to innovate without the encumbrances of current legislation in those states.

Sure, it's more complex than that and there are other reasons. But ultimately, a single piece of legislation had a huge hand in turning California into the preeminent global leader in the vast span of technology industries.

Oh, I don't blame you. If I thought well of cops I'd feel the same way. That positive feeling is to be cherished and protected, because one day it may protect you. Or, you know, you might get unlucky and get swatted by accident, or an ex-wife claims you hit her, or you meet a cop just having a bad day, and you'll have a different experience. That you haven't won the shit lottery doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means you're lucky.

And also, consider the impact of being wrong here. Like, if your opinion is taken seriously, then there's nothing wrong, then why? Is it that my basic assumption that power corrupts is wrong? Or do you disagree with the premise that cops aren't held accountable when they abuse their power? In either case, surely you see enough evidence that police, both here and abroad, are constantly struggling with issues of corruption and abuse, sometimes directed at one ethnicity, but always at non-officers.
All LineageOS builds, regardless of whether they are official or unofficial, are insecure by default as the binary blobs are outdated and will never be updated. LineageOS is the point of last resort if you want to update your EOL device to a newer OS build while sacrificing security.

>It’s to the point that discussions are derailed by it with folks who feign knowledge about a topic just offer cynicism. Anything that’s doesn’t work right the empty response is a conspiracy of “oh that’s by design” as if people would otherwise always have things working…

It's a safeguard against trying to fight against things that "shouldn't be like this" and burning yourself out. It's endless in the real world too. The reason cynicism runs so deep is that it's warranted. After a period of time you turn around and ask yourself "if everywhere I go and everything I take a close enough look at makes me think 'this shouldn't be like this!' then what is it that I'm missing???". Eventually when the human operating system that underpins it all comes into view, the cynicism sets in. Sure, it's a lazy-ish answer, but in my experience it's a pretty darn good heuristic as far as heuristics go.
Without telling you to pirate: What you're describing is Sonarr / Radarr with Plex / Jellyfin.

The former lets you put in a list of shows / movies you want it to download, and it'll check against public and private trackers periodically until it finds what you're after. The media you want doesn't even have to be released - an IMDB or TVDB link is enough.

The latter makes it easy to stream anywhere, download ahead of flights, and tracks watched status. Plex especially is fantastically easy for family to use.

Setup is "easy" in that it's an afternoon or less for the kind of people browsing HN, and using it is actually easy for anyone else you care to share the service with. Combined, it checks all your requirements of pulling in reviews from you and others, watched status tracking, and owned by you.

Bill C-26: A Review
It might be a bad area. There aren't better employers in the area. He knows he is being abused. He used to live and work as an electrician in another country where he was treated considerably better. He spends his days wiring new homes that sell for 1.5M+ and gets treated like crap. Moving is unfortunately not an option because my sister's career is very location-dependent.

"Well if you aren't in one of the good areas you'll get fucked" doesn't tend to make it into articles like the linked above and I think it is worth knowing.

No, macwatch is a program designed specifically for Mac computers and is not compatible with Windows systems. The program is designed to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their Mac's performance, including CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and more. It can also be used to monitor network activity and alert users when a process is consuming too much system resources. Additionally, the code provided is written in Objective-C and C, which are not supported on Windows systems.

Well, I'm adding to the conversation here rather than wanting to directly rebut the Reddit post, which is best done on Reddit anyway.

The original poster has written - at length - about a very small attribute, detail, which is not entirely the responsibility of the sensor but they equate this to image quality. Detail isn't some universal hallmark of image quality and nor is dynamic range, and I don't think I want to be dragged into arguing anything at the level of the Reddit poster because it's all wrong, it's all apples and oranges and I cannot comprehend the confusion of ideas that leads them to write that post.

Cameras are an external translator of all the electromagnetic waves going on around us, a little like human senses, producing snapshots of what we think is reality. Different people's senses translate things slightly differently, because they are differently sensitive to emotion, or sound, or smell, and camera hardware varies along similar lines, but perhaps to colour and light.

These differences are cast aside in the post/rant, not explored, a very one-dimensional train of thought with accompanying potshots at supposed camera snobs and various insults at other commenters.

On the point about who cares what camera you're using anyway, it's true to some extent, but sometimes I may be interested in some technical detail that relates to an aspect of a photograph. I keep a lens around because it renders hair in a magical way that no other lens I use does. Gear sometimes has a visual attribute that is quite interesting.

> Any big names (long term kernel development) backing it?

Linus Torvalds is one of them. And he is a hardcore C programmer, he was strongly against C++ in the Kernel when people were suggesting that.

> Sure, but there are a few simple patterns when used throughout that are quite reliable.

And yet, C/C++ programs segfault all the time. Memory corruption vulnerabilities are some of the most severe and common ones. There was a submission here, on HN, about it. There was something about Google adopting Rust on Android precisely because of this — in case you want to find it.

I've been a C (Kernel) programmer in the past. And I've quit precisely because it took too much of my time to debug things that a good language should normally detect for you. Now, my main languages are Rust and Haskell, and the compiler helps me eliminate a huge class of bugs. If it compiles, most of the time it works correctly.

> Every C program can theoretically [+] be compiled to be the same as a Rust binary, but not every Rust program could be compiled to be the same as a C binary [1].

What should I be looking for in [1]? And what do you mean here? "Theoretically", you could implement every possible C program in Assembly, but that's hardly an argument against C. We should be thinking here in terms of things that a programmer normally would implement in reasonable amount of time. A knowledgeable Rust programmer is by orders of magnitude more productive than a C programmer with the same experience.

The discussion we're having was already had many times here. I'm just repeating the standard arguments.

Rust also has more freedom to perform optimizations on your code than C, because Rust has so much more information about it. For example, in C, a carefully placed "restrict" keyword can speed up your program a lot. But if you're not careful enough and you fail to satisfy the "restrict" invariant, you get undefined behavior. In Rust, things are "restrict" by default due to borrow checker and the invariant is ensured in compile time.

The argument for C against Rust just doesn't stand a chance if you remember C's undefined behavior. C is full of it. Can you list all the conditions when it can occur in C?

> I use it quite regularly.

I meant using the OP program, not C language.
In my previous comment I was focusing on LLMs, per comment I was replying to originally. I gave a visual artwork only as an example, since it’s not quite possible with textual information. With text what we may observe is just less of it being published, and it’s difficult to use an absence of something as an illustration.

Though in recent years more people began catching on that leaving a good review might ruin a place for them, the evidence of that isn’t obvious (it’s just fewer reviews or less good-faith reviews). Similar results but on larger scale may be observed as people are catching on that writing they publish in the open is essentially feeding a magic answering box monetised by someone else.

‘This Is What We Do While We’re Waiting for the World to Change'
In my experience, it also grounds us and gives us useful feedback loops with what we can really control, and what really matters to us, the most.

Which is super important.

In my opinion, a lot of the crazier things going on in the world are due to a lot of people not being well connected or healthy with those things, and being susceptible to manipulation by outside forces looking to harness that angst.
Did you mean Heelys[1]?

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heelys
I'm super ignorant on physics and whatnot; but wouldn't it make more sense to use airships covered with solar panels at 5k-6k meter altitude? Thin solar is now a thing, and I'm quite sure that there would be a viable way to engineer an airship in such a way. One could even use graphene aerogel instead of helium or hydrogen as the lighter-than-air filler.

Is this a really dumb idea? Any of you with a more relevant background could tell me where this could be so wrong?
I'm not trying to make a deceptive argument. I may be wrong, but I stated what I thought was an important point: you need generators to decarbonize, not merely a switch to electric cars. Electric cars are an enabler for decarbonization, agreed, but focusing only enabling technology is not enough. It must be coupled with changes in energy generation to achieve a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. I fear the emphasis on half the problem will leave the problem unsolved.

The article "Factcheck: How electric vehicles help to tackle climate change" <https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-how-electric-vehicles-...> seems to make the same point (if that's a bad source let me know):

* "EVs are responsible for considerably lower emissions over their lifetime than conventional (internal combustion engine) vehicles across Europe as a whole.

* In countries with coal-intensive electricity generation, the benefits of EVs are smaller and they can have similar lifetime emissions to the most efficient conventional vehicles – such as hybrid-electric models."

Which is my point: we need to decarbonize the generators. The article even goes on to state this: "However, as countries decarbonise electricity generation to meet their climate targets, driving emissions will fall for existing EVs and manufacturing emissions will fall for new EVs." Note the requirement to decarbonize the generators. This is a real issue, for example, in 2021, coal-fired electric power plants accounted for 91% of West Virginia's total electricity net generation <https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=WV>. There's an assumption by many that utilities' electricity generators will over time produce less carbon dioxide, but I'm not convinced that it will "just happen". Such a change will require continued emphasis over time.
