Best courses for a layperson to learn law?
Lately, I’ve had some life circumstances that’s prompted me to think that it would be beneficial to learn law + persuasion. Mostly to read contracts better and to defend myself when being taken advantage of.

Does anyone have recommendations on courses surrounding law? I know law is a broad subject, but I’m looking for broad recommendations that I can then narrow down on since I’m not sure where to start yet.
Summary:
Samsung includes the losses from the 1024<=>1000 conversion into the system size, making it appear much larger than it actually is.

This also explains why OneUi occupies more space on phones with more storage: 69GB are lost on this conversion on 1TB models, whereas only 9GB are lost on the 128GB model.
Code is cleaner too, fewer hacks than typical Coreutils code. You get the benefits of BSD style clean code while still having high performance because there are clear functional boundaries and specific features are compartmentalized in modules and dependencies. Systems programming has finally caught up to 30 years of advances in software engineering.

Long live the Rust Evangelism Strike force. Finally Apache/Linux is now possible.
No, but it would be valid if I did. As it is, I avoid transacting with people who go out of their way to shoot endangered wild animals for pleasure.
> The boss can fire the employee but not the other way around.

When an employee severs the relationship it is called “resigning”. This makes me wonder why the difference in language and if it’s part of the power play whereby companies seek to frame the relationship as sponsor/beneficiary rather than straight contract (which is what it is).
You know that's kind of a fantastic way to do it. Really. How I usually did it was copy the best possible regex from Stack Overflow and see the best possible one that passed my unit tests. Though I really don't know a whole lot about regexes beyond the utmost basics.

Also, often in 2001 companies were closing rather than laying off percentages. Or do they count those as layoffs anyway?

> It would be MUCH harder to debug a complex parsing function than a regex with Regex101.

Use a parser combinator library and your parser is much easier to debug, because everything's compositional and you can unit-test it.
Like some other commenters have called out it kind of just kicks the can down the road, but the longer you can kick that can down the road the longer you can reap the benefits of compound interest.
> That’s how the big players killed hardware startups in Europe. That’s why every 20€ BOM gadget has a retail price of 99€.

I dunno, "2 year warranty kills our business model" sounds a lot like "we are selling gadgets to go directly to a landfill".

I imagine the bigger thing is on a macro level there's just less free money floating around in Europe to fund things with terrible unit economics. 2 years is of course a very long time, but you combine that with how many people would actually take advantage of that and... well, the defect rate, and I feel like you can make that work.

EDIT: And to be even more glib, if your thing costs 20 euros to make, make 1 for the "warranty stockpile" for every 1 that goes out to customers. Warranty claim? Send out from the warranty stockpile.

I do loss harvesting every year in a simple online brokerage account. There is basically no "overhead", especially since many brokerages over extremely low or 0 trading fees these days. This isn't difficult.
This always seemed like a terrible idea to me, from the corporation's perspective. Sure, great, you spent a few thousand dev hours and found a clever way to significantly improve the performance of your mallocs. Awesome, you saved 5% on your hardware costs. Good deal.

But now you've got a private fork to maintain. The guy who figured out the optimization was promoted and switched orgs, so the other guy on that team is in charge. There's not quite enough work for him to work on merging stuff in full time yet, so he'll do other stuff, but within a few years, keeping your private fork up to date with security patches is a full time job, then more than a full time job, and nobody wants to join that guy's effort because there's no glory and no promotions in it. But there's no getting off this ride anymore, and nobody's doing expensive performance testing anymore because the guy who knew how to do it is long gone, so I hope it's still making a difference. Ugh. Just share the fix.
Wow, there's a name I haven't seen since I was running a (pre-linux) Windows NT 4 box back in like 1996/7.

I used that until I moved to Linux, and I used sylpheed on top of maildir.

I've used Thunderbird now for years, but I also use fastmail as the mail server and use offlineimap for backing fastmail up locally.

I've got email archives going back to 1998 (which is probably when I moved off Windows NT, come to think of it).
No, that is not true. I got treated for cancer two years ago (surgery and radiation), it was contained (not metastatic), I have twice since passed a Class 2 Medical. I talked to my Aeromedical Examiner, I talked with my treating doctors, they talked to each other, it worked out -- so far.
I get that part but the difference in compound interest still seems too small compared to their multi-billion-dollar assets. The real issue seems to be inheritance tax cost basis step-up, if I'm understanding correctly. Which would explain why generational wealth is such a bigger deal than people give it credit for.
It's not delusional. You have a point with the M2, but most Apple owners don't have those, they just have iPhones and a few other associated gadgets. There's nothing special about iPhone hardware, in fact it's usually behind other manufacturer's hardware at similar or somewhat lower price points.
It’s not doing so well as it used to and billions of dollars of investment were lost while the founders were kicked off the company. Doesn’t seem a good comparison imho.

You’re applying small business romanticism to corporate behavior. A trope designed to ensure this idea that benefits corporations the most remains in place.

Even for a mom and pop - yes. They work on the concept of exploitation if the workers do not also own the business…
The wealthy can skirt this by hiring tax attorney to gift their assets to some kind of charitable trust and get annuity payments to live off of and pay minimal to no tax. While the rest of us will actually pay the tax... that is if you find any incentive to even participate in such market. All of these boneheaded ideas only end up taxing normal people in the end. The ultra wealthy have other plans.
It’s funny but I have made the opposite transition recently.

The reasons:
Writing parsing code by hand tends to be verbose, error prone (such as off by one errors), ad hoc, and full of temporary strings.
Editor syntax highlighting (and also sites like regex101).
Lastly regexes are matched in one go (match /no match) which is good for readability.

I do avoid making regexes long if I can.
What about the efforce /$WOZX crypto he was/is part of? Especially during its launch/pre-launch (-95%)

You might not have much of it in the US but once those interactions are moved online they can be very quick and effective. Tax forms for example. It's common in other countries for the tax to be calculated for you, then you can just log in, chcek it out and confirm or adjust, which can be done for free in about 10 minutes while eating a burger.

Who's going to do that? My spouse had an Oakland luxury apartment rented in her name, with her social security number and everything. But Oakland PD won't do anything, and nobody else cares either. The apartment management wasn't even sure they could evict because of covid restrictions at the time. It's fully reported, not our problem anymore.

I understand why low-skill workers want to form unions, just like I understand how people want to buy gas and drive a 1 ton internal combustion engine around by themselves, it makes their lives better in the short term.

but in that comment I went on to say that the overall (aggregate, total) wages paid by greedy, rapacious capitalists to low-wage workers (taken as a group) will be higher without unions. It's well known that unions get higher wages for their members at the expense of unemployment for their non-members.

I think the right answer is policies that decrease the power of large employers by making sure that they are always competing against other large employers. I don't think there should be 1 Amazon, I think Amazon should be broken into a half dozen Amazons. Bezos would continue to own the same %age of the Amazons as he does of Amazon, so it's fair to him, but Amazon would no longer be a monopsony in the the labor market and the small vendor marketplace, nor have monopoly power for consumers, so fair to everyone else also.

such a hard core market solution as I'm proposing would probably drive wages down, but it would also drive prices down, and driving prices down (or holding back increases, nobody wants deflation) is a really powerful way to increase standards of living
Let’s check back a few years later, how will that phone stand up. More powerful hardware is also future-proofing the devices, which apple actually care about. Hopefully this will change as now even Samsung promises some 5 years of software updates, but previously you could almost throw out a perfectly fine android phone 2 years later..
I agree

And this is quite the opposite of other maincoins, which don't change while grinding its gears

I avoid regexes like the plague. I like PEGs as a replacement.
And the corollary is: What is the advantage of a universal form factor if the wire protocols are different?

If the wire protocols are different, then an identical form factor is a hindrance, not an advantage.
Having states and different rules is fine however if you have that, single point of contact which knows all the rules for you might be immensely useful.

I think the notion of "privilege" and the habit of accusing people of being "privileged" are so off that if someone "uses the word against you", you might as well give up since the chances for a reasonable discussion are very low. This whole comment tree is quite typical for how it usually plays out.

(Obviously the great-grandparent comment that first used "privilege" is completely off, as are most statements involving the word in the wild)

I think that regex is beautifully simple and communicates simple computations elegantly.

The problem is that they are often not use for simple computations, and therefore don't appear elegant.

They are, quite literally, like a flowchart. If it gets to be too big, then it gets difficult to understand without adding context to the parts (as some sibling comments have mentioned, by labeling the parts or by adding comments outside of the string definition).

Understanding Regex (and, by extension, DFAs) is very helpful, depending on your job. I used to teach Theory of Computing, and students would say "I'll never use this in the real world!", and yet only yesterday I was putting these very skills to use in my industry job in validating contract stipulations of a system.

I don't think it makes me feel like a powerful wizard... rather, I think I'm getting to spend time admiring a beautiful art exhibit!
The Deli Lama of Ann Arbor
I’m surprised AirPods Pro still come with Lightning. I bought Beats Fit Pro which I think are pretty similar internally but a more running-friendly shape, and they use USB-C on the case. The previous model used Lightning. I guess it might be because the Beats are marketed for Android too.
Its a little more complex than that. Vehicles (cars, trucks) can rely on the engine power being transferred to a high friction surface (the road) with help from gravity with immediate effect. Where as boats and aircraft are transferring engine power to a low friction medium (air and water) where gravity is important for aircraft otherwise you die when you hit the ground unless you can auto rotate in a helicopter or glide in a plane, but where gravity is not so important in the scheme of things, if those extreme risk situations are catered for.

I bet they could have got the costs down more if they had used a Toroidal Propeller.

Here (already cued for you) https://youtu.be/s_J1OYcCPms?t=23 the footage shows less vortices generated with the Toroidal propeller seen in the top half of the frame of the two boat propeller underwater.

Its these vortices in water which generate cavitation on a traditional style propeller, which leave little pits on the surface of the propeller eventually leading to its replacement as its surface contributes to more friction and thus less fuel economy.

If the friction from the pitted surface is ignored, then it can lead to parts of a blade becoming more like swiss cheese with holes that results in parts of the blade breaking off.

Wind Turbines could generate more electricity if they used toroidal blades, but currently the engineering skill does not exists to scale these blades up in size, and have the ability to "detune" a blade in gale force/storm force winds to minimise damage to the generators and the unit itself.

However the use of these wind turbines also means, the state have a stealth population control mechanism as these wind turbine blades can also be altered to generate plenty of infrasound which can be used to make large parts of the population in the vicinity feel anxious, something that's documented in the Disney sound engineering labs in the 40's/50's when the sound engineers inadvertently made themselves all feel very ill for a few days. Ergo you will probably see less people striking in future!
While I agree with your overall points, you are wrong on the details: Android runs native code and ARC is just another form of GC (with less memory overhead, but also less throughput for what it matters. It is probably the better choice for mobile devices).

Apple hardware is just that much better, it is not about the software stack.

Absolutely not. They could just not lie in the first place, then there's no 'bar' to meet.
I struggle to believe that your coworkers don't understand the basics of LinAlg and geometry. It seems much more likely that you write code which is hard to parse, can't be explained, and your concept of maintenance is rewriting it from scratch because you don't understand it a year later either.

Writing code that other people understand is an independent skill from solving the particular problem at hand. If your colleagues don't understand your code, either you need different colleagues, or you can't write understandable code.
The downvotes are not telling you to not say bad things about open source. The downvotes are telling you that you do not understand the advantages and disadvantage of open source.

As someone paid very well to work with open source code, I can tell you that financially open source is often more expensive than proprietary solutions. Yet it provides much, much more value for the money.
In another hand, employees try to do as less as possible for the money they get. How many devs get hired as senior dev, because their experience (in number of years) but then turns out they are code monkey ready to really work 3 hours/day? Nobody is perfect and nobody is saint.

I'm just trying to understand your use case, that is all.
I took it as a double entendre. We took advantage of the WFH policy and the company also took advantage of us, coz more work got done, since we had nowhere to go.
I think this was the case then HN was new, these days it's a very general tech crowd (like slashdot was 20 years ago).
If you're trying to take advantage of a lower retirement income bracket post-retirement, that's only valuable for < $400k of income/year. Anything after that will be at the highest bracket. Over the course of your post-retirement life that seems to come out to something on the order of $10M in tax savings. Which wouldn't really amount to much for someone with $85B in assets.
So you have AirPods and no other Apple devices?
