EU Parliament has nothing to do with this proposal.

It's proposed by the EU Commission, and such things have been struck down by the Parliament before.

Also: Britain hardly has any leg to stand on regarding privacy (which is something the EU usually has a focus on[0]).

Did you forget the Snoopers Charter[1]? That isn't a proposal. That's law.

There is no going back though. No politician is going to risk repealing this type of law and then have their career destroyed when a single crime happens against a kid that this law would have "prevented".

People bashing the cops for this is bullshit too. The cops are the bad guys either way. They enforce the law and they are the bad guys. Something happens to a kid with this law in place and then they are also the bad guy for not doing their job.

The solution to all this is simply to not have children. It is just another of the near daily reminders of how great it is to be child free.

Just to play the advocate's advocate here:

From https://acoup.blog/2019/07/26/collections-war-elephants-part.... I highly recommend the whole series.

> At Bagradas (255 B.C. – a rare Carthaginian victory on land in the First Punic War) [...] the elephants disorder the Roman line. In the spaces between the elephants, the Romans slipped through, but encountered a Carthaginian phalanx still in good order advancing a safe distance behind the elephants and were cut down by the infantry, while those caught in front of the elephants were encircled and routed by the Carthaginian cavalry. What the elephants accomplished was throwing out the Roman fighting formation, leaving the Roman infantry confused and vulnerable to the other arms of the Carthaginian army.

[...]

> Elephants could also be used as area denial weapons. One reading of the (admittedly somewhat poor) evidence suggests that this is how Pyrrhus of Epirus used his elephants – to great effect – against the Romans. It is sometimes argued that Pyrrhus essentially created an ‘articulated phalanx’ using lighter infantry and elephants to cover gaps – effectively joints – in his main heavy pike phalanx line. This allowed his phalanx – normally a relatively inflexible formation – to pivot.

[...]

> Thus the war elephant wasn’t a ‘battle winner’ so much as a dangerous complication thrown in the way of the enemy’s plan of attack. And at that, they were awesome.
> This is Eastern bloc level authoritarianism

OTOH, you could argue the opposite. It made the news (even if the source in this case is especially biased, I will assume good faith). In a country the size of the US, some amount of official misbehavior is going to happen with some regularity, it's just a numbers game. I'll worry more when we stop hearing about it.
Oh please. They publish a lot of journalism and have been covering police abuse for decades including work by Radley Balko back in 2017 when no one cared. Senior editor Jacob Sullum has won awards for his journalism on drug policy. Elizabeth Nolan Brown does great investigative work around sex workers. It isn’t a click bait farm, even if YOU disagree with their politics.
I think so too. If the next time you can change something you would have done, such that less people suffer or die, then it seems like you should go ahead and do that. In the end this is the simple rule.

Sometimes you just didn't have the complete picture and you might have been acting ideally given the limited information you had; that is, if you changed your behavior, it might change for the worst in other situations. It's not about self-punishing, it's about learning!

This is something the right leaning groups have always been saying, but it is exciting that the article manages to come up with an empirical way to determine the "belief system" of the AI model.

People on the left shouldn't rejoice either. The left and the right wing are mostly the same, and both follow similar approaches to marginalize people who they feel are undesirable, so it'll eventually come back to bite the left too in due course.

It's important to get some facts first and not work off of your assumptions. No matter how strongly you sense that you're "getting the cold shoulder from everyone else", it could just be intesified by your emotions.

Schedule a 1:1 with you manager. Don't reveal the agenda, but be polite and just say you want to discuss some things.

During the meeting get the answers to your questions. This time you can be direct (but still polite). If your manager is beating around the bush / sugar coating, your initial senses were probably right.
People who call others assholes are generally assholes themselves.

So, should we believe what you just told us about yourself?

The lesson here is that you have to look out for yourself. After you didn't get a raise (despite being told you're the best) in your first performance review, you should have done two things.

1. Immediately expressed disappointment and asked for an explanation of why you didn't receive a raise despite the feedback. They're probably not going to give you a raise at that point, but it makes clear that you're unhappy and comp adjustments are important to you. That way when they're making comp decisions at the next cycle, they can intuit that there will be consequences if they don't give you a raise.

2. ~6 months before the next comp adjustment cycle, remind your manager that you were disappointed not to have a raise last time, you've continued to outperform your peers, and it's extremely important to you to receive a significant raise in the upcoming cycle to feel valued by the company. Repeat this speech once review time starts.

After not getting a raise for two cycles (whether you took the above two steps or not), you get a new job. Why are you sticking around at a place that doesn't treat you well when you're a high-performing employee with an in-demand skillset? They're treating you poorly because you allow them to treat you poorly while still getting the work they need from you. You have to advocate for yourself in your career (and the rest of your life). You're asking how to handle this situation best, but it's honestly obvious - you know what you want, so go ask for it, and if you don't get it, go somewhere else where you can get it. You don't need advice on what to do, you just need to go stick up for yourself.
Not really. Anyway, I’m sure Meta is terribly worried about whether some people on the Internet think they’re hypocritical or not.
Locking more people up only helps if you lock the right people up.

Otherwise you might as well randomly pick them off the streets (but maybe that’s already what is happening).

Lisp syntax is not required for this. There is no reason that you could not write:

(if (condition) '+ '*) (2 3)

and have that mean a conditional function call on the arguments 2 and 3. In fact, many traditional-syntax languages allow you to do that, e.g.:

Python 3.8.9 (default, Mar 30 2022, 13:51:16)
>>> def f(x): return x+1
...
>>> def g(x): return x+2
...
>>> (f if 1 else g)(4)
5

No, the real reason you want (f x y) rather than f(x y) is so you can parse it with no lookahead.

It is actually possible to extend Lisp's syntax to allow f(x y) using the hack that if there is no whitespace between a symbol and an open-paren then treat that like a function call, i.e. you can tweak the Lisp parser so that:

(list f(x y) f (x y))

will read as

(list (f x y) f (x y))

and so kinda sorta do the Right Thing if you like traditional function call syntax. But that is pretty hacky and fragile.

This is how I grew up (well, not wealthy, but a dense, residential neighborhood in Manhattan): it was perfectly normal for me to walk around and take the subway alone by the time I was 8 or so. I don’t remember ever being stopped by anyone, police or otherwise. This was in the early-mid 2000s, and my perception is that it hasn’t changed much in the city.

If you don't have work experience with it -- whatever DSA is -- then your knowledge is approximately at the "aware of DSA" level. It is not going to be professional competence.

If an interview requires professional competence in DSA, you won't pass unless you are lucky or the interview doesn't actually require professional competence (and that's worse if professional competence is an actual hit the ground running requirement).

I mean if you can spend three weeks learning DSA for an interview, you could probably learn more about DSA from one week on the job...whatever DSA is.

Good luck.
IANAA, but I pay one every year.

S-Corp is not an efficient entity type for a windfall like this. It is a pass through entity, and cannot retain earnings year over year, for that you need a C-Corp.

That said, had they already had a C-Corp set up, then this income would be taxed at 21%, so after Steam fees and taxes, they would be sitting on around $3.3M (not counting publisher fees and any expenses that might arise). If they hold that money for 120 days, they can then do regular monthly dividend distributions of around $7k, and it would be considered tax free to their person (assuming married, and no other source of income), but keep in mind they already paid 21% taxes on it. Any amount above that would be taxed at 15% (then 20% at top tax bracket), so if they wanted $200k/yr, that would be a monthly dividend of around $17k, 7k of that is "tax free" then the other 10k would be taxed at 15%. But again, they pre-paid 21% taxes at the c-corp level, so 15% would actually be 36%, which is nearly top tax bracket already, and it was hit MUCH sooner than if you took a higher paid salary.
OK, it's not that hard to prove to people who are capable of accepting proof.
If the cops wanted to protect their communities, they would have spent 15 minutes keeping an eye on the kids, see they're buying donuts, and go about their day.

Instead they made their community less safe by creating even more doubt and distrust in police, in their community, and psychologically injuring the parents and children.
> if the mean on the left keeps shifting then they are by definition excluding and making enemies of people that were previously allies.

Many of those are not allies and can be sabotaging the left, especially if they are vocal.

> If they stopped doing that, they could actually gain influence and start effecting change on real issues.

Don't kid yourself, those "real issues" would then get pushback too, and you would just have one slightly less conservative party.

The demands never stop, which is a good thing, society must adapt to changes. If one side is against that, then that's also legitimate. But I don't have to regard the feelings of someone who is actively in favor of current social unfairnesses.
A given queer person's level of identification with the broader community is of no relevance to the question of whether the broader culture of the community is countercultural. When the culture itself is used as a political tool by a state actor, I no longer classify the culture as countercultural. Rather, I see it as a weaponized mechanism of cultural subversion.

Sure, the hippie movement was branded countercultural. But to what purpose? Note that during the period, the US government was engaged in a large scale remaking of America both domestically and internationally. Domestically, we saw the remaking of immigration policies to no longer bias towards those of European descent, and instead towards what favored macro capitalism (the import of cheaper and low skilled labor). Internationally the US was scaling up engagement in hot and cold wars and no longer considering itself bound to the constitutional provisions for war. Low and behold, during this period, a "counterculture" arises which glorifies drug use, the dissolution of the nuclear family and pushes forward the vapid strain of hyper individualism that we see today. Suddenly the anti-war movement is associated with drug use and degeneracy, whilst the nation's racial consciousness is broken in time to welcome a new wave of immigrants to help improve the margins of big business.

Note that the current "woke" counterculture follows the same pattern. Increased individualism, sublimated racial awareness, dissolution of family, and rampant degeneracy. Meanwhile the state continues its hegemonic march of constant international agitation.

I don't understand how this is an argument for staying though, even if so many brings it up.

It feels more or less impossible to influence EU-politicians. I don't know who they are, what they do or barely how the EU system works. It is too complicated for laymen to get into in general.

If a local politician proposes a stupid law as this one, I can call them up on my phone while when EU does it you don't even know it's happening.

Anecdotally, I've never read a cover letter as someone who's interviewed a good chunk of engineers, but not nearly as many as a lot of the folks on HN. I have however had a much better initial response experience from companies that I added a cover letter for. I think some larger companies that have a resume and cover letter upload on their site just might prioritize those who wrote a cover letter as well. That's just a guess though.

> stupidly accessible

Don't underestimate what tiles do for a game in terms of (perceived) accessibility. Anecdotally my kids (under 11), who will almost certainly abandon the game after playing it, are demanding that we get it because they like what they are seeing, they like drama (dwarfs into zombies), they like building and crafting (infinite possibilities vs. MC). Now it's true that I've been talking about it, so they are feeding on my hype, but they are also genuinely intrigued by it. I think the viral potential of DF went way up with the recent release, it might not be completely unheard of as common amongst the broader gaming populace in the future.

+1 for pgtap. Surprised it's not been mentioned more in this thread.

I'm using it w/ supabase, and it works really well.

They have a small doc on it that's a better primer than the pgtap docs: <https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/extensions/pgtap>.

Pretty easy to get started, I'm doing something like this in a Makefile.

supabase_tests := $(call rfind, supabase/tests/*_tests.sql)
DB_URL := "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:54322/postgres"
test-supabase: $(supabase_tests)
@echo "Testing supabase..." && \
echo "${supabase_tests}" && \
psql -f supabase/tests/setup.sql ${DB_URL} && \
$(foreach t,$(supabase_tests),\
echo "Test: $(t)..." && psql -f $(t) ${DB_URL} $(__EXEC)) && \
psql -f supabase/tests/teardown.sql ${DB_URL}
My daughter was having a very bad day, very pouty and whiny. Around age 8 or so. My wife had put her in a timeout, and then our daughter kept “needing” to go to the bathroom over and over again (usually to play in the sink). Fed up with this, my exasperated wife force marched her to the bathroom with her hand on her back to ensure she went to the bathroom and wasn’t loitering about playing.

A parent from the other team was sitting in our group and disapproved loudly of the timeout and the forced bathroom match, she almost certainly was the one who complained.
> The notion that we freely choose anything is absurd on the face of it, as it'd mean a process where the outcome neither follows deterministically from the inputs, nor is random, nor any combination of the two.

You're just imputing a meaning to "free will" which is not how people typically use the term. People don't mean a free choice to be free of antecedent causes, because that would be absurd: you choose to eat when you're hungry, you choose to sleep when you're tired, you choose a job based on what salary you want and work/life balance which are preferences shaped by your experiences, etc.

When people say someone made a choice of their own free will, they mean the choice was not coerced, and so that choice was consistent with their values rather than forced to conform to someone else's values. That is, it's an expression of their "will".

This is the view on free will known as "Compatibilism", because it's compatible with determinism, and it's basically the view we see in the legal system: if you are mentally competent to make a choice, and you were not coerced, you are held responsible for that choice.

And this matches will with how laypeople reason morally: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274892120_Why_Compa...

> This is Eastern bloc level authoritarianism.

I know several other people already commented, but still I want to add my own view because this pains me.

I grew up in the 1970s/80s in an area of two 35 thousand people towns (plus lots and lots of smaller towns and villages - rural but it's still all densely populated).

We had all the freedoms to go anywhere except doing school hours - as long as we didn't drive (pretty far) to the German-German border area. Which I would not even have been able to point out the direction. I was in the forests and out alone ALL THE TIME, and so was everybody else. I also was a "key child", this too was very common, I had a house key and was left alone in our house all afternoon, and again, that was common.

Independence, education, sports - the East did not want to raise feeble people. Daily life was NOT some dystopian thing. Youth life was full of biking around in the afternoons, visiting friends all over the place or into the fields and woods, weekend parties, and we were mostly left alone, by parents too.

When I visited the US for two months, driving around in an old car I had bought (~20 - rental car was too expensive for that long, surcharge for being young too) - and sleeping in it most of the time. My impression afterwards was that the US was quite the police state. Sleeping in the care alone, never mind driving in an old car near the Mexican border once, got me lots of friendly meetings with ne police friends... never had any problems and it was all friendly, with my German passport and my story of driving from New York to Alaska to San Diego to Key West to Washington D.C. and lots of loops for scenery and NPs on the way, but I don't think I had a SINGLE encounter with East German police in all my life. Okay once, visiting the East Berlin airport, when I was with a friend who looked "non-standard", they only checked his ID and nothing from me.

And when I saw "Employee of the Month" parking at the very first McDonals I drove by in my new (old) car I could not stop laughing. THIS was sooooo East German! And we even had jokes about it, assuming such a thing would never exist in the West! And here I was in the capitalist mother country and saw a key component of "socialist" worker life.
The truth is, performance doesn't bring in the dollars, features do, and marketing, and sales. The incentives are just not there, and these issues what we're having, show that.
I’m blown away by some of the other comments here. There’s no value in having a victim mentality.

Have you openly spoken to your manager about your concerns? How it doesn’t feel fair? How you feel you’re being treated? There’s a chance they have no idea. Maybe they’re not that experienced and are just working things out themselves. Or if they seem like the wrong person, is there someone above them you can voice your concerns about?

Last time I had an employer I had feelings of being treated unfairly and voiced it and they gave me a big raise and a bonus, and they expressed how they respected me that much more for voicing it. (I did also come to them with a job offer from another company that had a larger dollar amount associated to it.). N=1 here and no guarantees of course, but it’s very worth attempting to communicate.

Being on the other end as a business owner myself now, I realize how easy it is to think everything that happens at the company and how it operates is deliberate and intentional. That is very often not the case. The invisible hand reaches over and forms companies just as it does the economy, eg one person makes a decision and introduced a structure or process 5 years ago and it just hasn’t been revisited despite the fact it should have.

If they don’t seem interested after some good attempts at being transparent and honest, you’re possibly a place that doesn’t value their employees, and it’s worth looking elsewhere to find a place that better aligns with your values.
