You say it is not free speech absolutism, but in the same paragraph you say that any sort of limitation of speech or belief that some thoughts are simply bad is something only idiots want or have.

But then another customer still wants gamma@1, they are allowed to do that! But they also want your new features. So now you have to maintain two branches, which I hope we can agree: it is an extra burden.

This is unavoidable if we are talking about FOSS, people should be able to do whatever they want, and they do. A company has an advantage here: you can install company-wide rules and culture to make sure people don't do this.

My Google accounts were created earlier, so I guess that "feature" has been added later. And yes, it's crazy. At least I'm not forced to add a phone after the fact. My parents didn't have phone numbers registered with their accounts when they were alive, though they did have recovery email addresses. Some kind of recovery is fine. What' not fine is to enforce that you have to own an SMS-capable phone just to have an email address (or whatever).

It was nearly 5 years ago too.
He was imprisoned because he hit pedestrians and one died. I don't know about you, but the way I drive I wouldn't hit pedestrians if they were laying in the road, maybe if they ran out in front of me. It doesn't sound like he has any sympathy for killing a woman at all, so the "woe is me I'm not a governor's son so I went to jail when others wouldn't have" is distasteful at best.

okay.. but at this point ukraine has recieved more money/material than years worth of russian military budgets. Where is the victory?

Also, what is it? is russia 100% incompetent, or is it a fiendish foe? We have had to hear for a year now about how russia is so totally inept that ukranian farmers are victorious against them using nothing both farming tractors, but at the same time the west must send ungodly amounts of money and material their way, and there is no victory. Which one is it?

It seems the west is willing to fight to the last ukranian.

I just dont see how the west meddling here is gonna make any outcome better. So far nothing indicates I am wrong.
At least in the case of Meta / Facebook, I don't think there is any pressure on the CEO.

Zuckerberg owns controlling interest over the company to the point where the board of directors are essentially advisory. I believe I read that he owns over 75% of Class B shares, for which he gets 10 votes for every 1 vote that a regular Class A voter gets.

That's a lot of power. This has allowed the company to ignore Wall Street in the past, which makes me think he's not suddenly concerned about Wall Street now. Whatever Zuck does is really his choice and responsibility.
To be fair, CEOs are also kinda useless... on a more serious notes, these consultants are more like priests of capital, there to prosletize whatever new cargo-cult framework is popular (without actually making any real change mind you).

I kind of like some old consulting literature from the 70s and 80s,especially the cybernetics stuff, as it seems like it's genuinely scientific and trying to improve things. Just the quality of writing in i.e. "Brain of the Firm", is so much more complex and erudite than what you see coming out in the field now.

>"“The idea that neighborhoods should be walkable is lovely. The idea that idiot tyrannical bureaucrats can decide by fiat where you're ‘allowed’ to drive is perhaps the worst imaginable perversion of that idea--and, make no mistake, it's part of a well-documented plan,” Peterson wrote."
>This man forgot sidewalks exists. Paranoïa don't seem to help.

No, he's right. It's horrible that some tyrannical bureaucrats can tell me where I'm allowed to drive. If I want to drive on the sidewalks, I should be allowed to, even if there's pedestrians on them. If I want to drive through parks and run over little kids and people walking their dogs, I should have that right. How dare these government tyrants tell me where I can't drive! It's almost as bad as when they tell me I can't bring my guns to public places and wave them around and shoot at people.

The proof is in the pudding. You claim nobody wants these things yet there are billions of people using these kinds of sites.
You can optimise your costs around peak load, sure.

You aren’t getting away from needing to run many game servers ready for a connection. The most cost effective way to do that is bare metal for base load, which means you can’t scale down to zero. Worse still, in a game where players choose their server, most servers will have many empty slots.
Unfortunately those exceed the limit, which is 80 chars.
Hah but then the right wing of the party took over because of the lefts poor electoral performance...
I have, and actually in one right now because Midwest winters suck. On one hand they're not wrong but they're also not right.

I'm my experience in poor countries there are the girls, guys, and guys who pretend to be girls that use prostitution to earn money. Then there's others who work 18 hour days in jobs that barely earn enough to live on, generally because the employer takes 80-90% of the money.

So the first group is having a lot of sex but as a means of work. Not as a means of enjoyment and pair bonding. The second never has time for it, not even to date and find a husband. They do nothing but work so their parents can live.

We talk about the social security collapse in the USA but that's not going to happen. The US will just print its way out of it. In poor countries there is a coming bigger collapse. Younger people aren't having kids, aren't getting married aren't even looking. They're just working to pay for their aging parents. While this has been the norm to have a large family for this kind of support these people are now delaying marriage thinking they'll have kids later. By the time later comes around it will be too late. They'll have no family to support them.

This is very different from first world countries where people delay marriage and kids. That is done to build their own financial base so because paying for parents is much less of a thing. These are devastating times ahead for many of the poorest countries.
This is a classic SQL antipattern.
All the things you are mentioning would be nice to haves but frankly nothing prevents us to use these today already, either directly or via a bit of wrapping.

Communication "style" and slow pace is frustrating sometimes but that's a small price to pay for all the positive facets of the language/community. I used to be more critical of these but I don't care anymore, the community is wonderful, the language is very usable and thriving, that's what matters ultimately.

About Datomic, I still don't get why there's no push to open-source the on-prem version, especially since nubank acquisition.
I dug onto the internals a few times, contributed to some of the alternatives, read/viewed pretty much everything about it and used it for fun in toy projects, and that thing is just so versatile it makes me angry it's not more accessible and as a result not more popular. It has an incredible untapped potential.
Every conj I am holding my breath hoping for a "one more thing" announcement where they'd do just that.
The "alternatives" do things either quite differently on too many aspects or lack traction.
Nice to hear a current user! The last part is a bit scary, what would push you against using it for external facing products?
You can say whatever you want to. I haven't said Modi is India and India is Modi. It is far from that. I have faith that India's democracy will work. It has seen darker days during times of Indira Gandhi, but we didn't turn into a dictatorship. BJP started as an answer to bad ruling by the congress party. If in the future BJP becomes the new congress, a new political party or many of the thousands of existing political party will come into power. If you want to watch the documentary it is available in the internet. Just because it is removed from youtube doesn't mean its illegal to watch it. In fact, just because Modi banned it, in many states there has been public viewing of the documentary.
No, it's been around a long time.

Funny all of history disagrees with this.
So, with this hypothetical attribute, the thing isn't gone, but it doesn't compile any more, whereas with the current situation the thing also isn't gone, and you get a warning (unless you told the compiler to forbid this rather than warning, in which case it doesn't compile).

This is identical to a [really_deprecated] attribute. We know it's deprecated but kelnos wants to force us to use a separate crate to use it for some reason.
Succinctly yes, as this was what I was doing until recently.

I had about 6 or 7 Firefox profiles encompassing 2 of my businesses, clients, and some administration of my fiancée's companies she runs.

For each of my two businesses I had two separate profiles, one with personal accounts and a second I logged in with 'Admin' accounts for various services and infrastructure.

It was a little tedious, but it worked. However I would waste so much time tabbing through multiple Firefox windows working out what was the correct one for the job in hand.

Firefox Multi-Account containers got that down to two profiles, and I'd say I really only work 99% of the time in a single profile.

Simple Tab Groups is invaluable too to reduce the tab 'clutter' that comes from working out of a single profile/window.

Lastly as an added bonus, when I was comfortable with Multi-Account Containers, I successfully weened my fiancée off of Chrome and onto Firefox so she could flick between different accounts for those businesses she works with too.

> I tried it. The url I got looked like guid.domain.net. At first I was thinking that the guid part must be unique for every user, but then the domain.net part is still susceptible to being seized.

The GUID seems to be unique per-user, but also per ccTLD (mine are GUID.DOMAIN.cz and OTHERGUID.DOMAIN.ph).

I would guess that the pool of registered DOMAIN.ccTLD will grow faster than they can be blocked or seized, that new user per-domain GUIDs can be issued on demand onto different registered domains, and that there is an unused reserve of registered domains ready for deployment.
Ukraine will not win. No amount of dumping money into a country is going to help with this size difference, unless many more countries mobilise their actual military. That won't happen because then it goes from a regional conflict to a large-scale war and more countries might feel like meddling. Then there might be a world war.
Derailments of this type have been increasing a lot over the past few years due to premature automation of rail lines and increased length of freight trains. Ultimately this is a story about cutting costs at the expense of lives and the environment.

yes, it really quite would be a shame if someone noticed how wars tend to always magically reinforce and favor some goals and ideals of the upper elites. Never the peasants on the floor.

Im sure the western powers are extremely sad about the war, despite how it obviously amplifies a longstanding agenda. Coincidence, im sure.

Ask HN: Shared drawboard compatible with S Pen
Hello,
I've been looking for a super-simple drawboard app to share hand drawings (code diagrams) during online meetings.
Features I am looking for:

- Draw on a tablet (using s pen on samsung for example), could be an app or a webapp
- Share the URL with coworkers during meetings (no need to screen-cast it)

I've been using scrcpy and OBS but it is not shared, and the setup is not lean.
I am aware of many whiteboard apps (Ziteboard..), what do you use?
Thanks!

How I read it is that you specify which ways you will use a column and then VT will create the various encrypted columns to support this. Deterministic shared key for matches only. Ordered encryption for ranges and FHE for various calculations. The latter probably being quite slow. I don’t think they are rolling their own crypto, just combining a lot of existing algorithms in various ways.

I could see a use cases in either defense in depth and/or storing data in the cloud while having your keys somewhere else.

Does it matter if your commute is 2 miles, 30 miles, 50 miles? 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 75 minutes? For many people, that is what makes WFH a big part of the decision. When they have kids, or for any other reason want a nicer home, in a nice area, that can be bought for half the price near offices that are typically metropolitan with high demand and low supply, then a commute becomes part of the equation. Do you want to spend 2 hours a day on top of your 8 hours of working, sitting in traffic? Or would you rather have 2 hours more at home, with family -- or even working for your employer because you feel like it?

Funny story: woman kept complaining that she comes to work everyday and she doesn't understand the big deal for those who don't want to and want WFH. Months later, the company moved offices from SF to the South Bay. She was very vocal about how her 10 min commute was now going to be 45 minutes or more. Don't you love it when people suddenly realize why other people had been fighting for something-not-that-unreasonable?
You are totally right, you can save a lot with all that different Database-as-a-Service products out there. A lot of possibilities for managed Postgres, definitely. Pricing range is extreme, but also what you get for that costs.

>Whether it be movie stars, athletes, musicians, or CEOs of multibillion-dollar corporations who dropped out of school, popular media often tells the story of the determined individual who pursues their dreams and beats the odds. There is much less focus on the many people that may be similarly skilled and determined but fail to ever find success because of factors beyond their control or other (seemingly) random events.[16] This creates a false public perception that anyone can achieve great things if they have the ability and make the effort. The overwhelming majority of failures are not visible to the public eye, and only those who survive the selective pressures of their competitive environment are seen regularly.

From your link.
They already tried it and it didn't go well. I remember it because I had a meeting with the man who was running the trial service. Granted this was a few years ago now, but you also have to remember that "the BBC" isn't allowed to do this, only it's commercial entity "BBC Worldwide" can, due to the way the BBC is funded.

Many of the best shows are co-produced with other broadcasters from countries, which means the BBC doesn't have the global rights for them. Also a decent proportion of BBC content is independently produced, which also means the BBC doesn't have the rights to that content. Lastly, the contracts for performing rights were often written before the concept of streaming, so you may have to go back to each credited performer and get the rights to distribute the show online. This has impacted DVD releases before, in one instance the BBC had to actually wait for someone to die before they could release a DVD box set, because one actor in just one episode refused to sign an updated agreement. So the list of content that's actually available is much smaller than you might think.

Maintaining a paid archive of "long tail" content has long been said to be the way forward. You can monetise that huge library of content from your past, right? Actually, it turns out that people don't actually watch that long tail. Outside the top, recent content, you'll get maybe a handful of people watching the archive each week. The cost of maintaining that archive online is non-zero and because the content is largely "cold", in terms of streaming, delivery of the archive costs you more than the popular content people are actually watching. And if you hadn't noticed, streaming services aren't renowned for being profitable in the first place.

Oh, and playback performance for cold assets is worse than fresh content. So watching an old episode of 'Only Fools and Horses' in Indonesia will have relatively poor streaming performance without putting in significant global investment. That investment being difficult to justify.

It's cheaper to syndicate the popular shows (old and new) to the other streaming services and see what gets watched.

This article reads like this person has not worked in a well run engineering organization.

In a good org:

- Managers do not set goals. Teams set goals (EM, TL, PM, DS, etc. need to collaborate on the goal and be bought into it).

- There is a system of checks to make sure goals are good. Teams need to make sure their leadership is bought into their goals, and that the goals ladder up to company goals.

- Managers do not prescribe technical approaches. This is something TLs should do.

- TLs are empowered to propose and work on infra and tech debt that are harder to measure with KPIs. These still need milestones and some measure of success.
