This type of license is generally required for a service to operate. They could scope it more carefully, but there is nothing _necessarily_ underhand going on here.

> By posting Content to the Service, you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service.

This says you grant the service a license to store and run your content.

> You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights.

This says you still own your content and responsible for how it is shared. You only gave the service a license.

> You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms.

This says you give permission for the service to make the content available to others. It does not mean the service will. This part could be worded better. It is presumably linked to sharing or publishing functionality.

> You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.

This part says you're not infringing anybody else's rights by putting content into the service.

So, yes, they could possibly have made it clearer in the license under what circumstances they would make content available to others, but most people don't look to the license to understand that so it's not uncommon to have language like this.
Commercial dishwashers sterilize dishes with high heat and steam. It's expected for dishes to be sprayed first by the person doing dishes with a high pressure hose to rid solid food before wash cycle.

Consumer dishwashers instead let enzymes do the work.

A lot of what gets posted to HN would not be deemed "news" in a lot of circles. Most stuff billed as "news" is bad news.

If you need to keep up with current info in various subjects, there are ways to do that without consuming tons of the "Dirty Laundry" variety of news. ("The bubble-headed bleach blond....etc...is the head dead yet? etc)

It can also help to have a broader perspective on some topics. I'm an environmental studies major. I'm usually the weirdo saying "How about y'all chill? Actual recorded temperatures go back less than X number of years. The rest is based on inference from various mental models and those are sometimes later overturned. We don't actually have as much hard data as many people assume, so record-breaking highs for this area isn't necessarily the scary shit the News tends to spin it as."

Dijkstra's chosen title was "A Case against the GO TO Statement".

Finally a short story for the record. In 1968, the Communications of the ACM published a text of mine under the title "The goto statement considered harmful", which in later years would be most frequently referenced, regrettably, however, often by authors who had seen no more of it than its title, which became a cornerstone of my fame by becoming a template: we would see all sorts of articles under the title "X considered harmful" for almost any X, including one titled "Dijkstra considered harmful". But what had happened? I had submitted a paper under the title "A case against the goto statement", which, in order to speed up its publication, the editor had changed into a "letter to the Editor", and in the process he had given it a new title of his own invention! The editor was Niklaus Wirth.

We use DIDs to avoid NIHing everything (we already NIHed enough) but weren't pleased with any of the DID methods available, and are currently using did:web for self-hosters and then a registry for non-self-hosters that we're running (did:plc) which we hope to spin out to a non-profit consortium. If something else with the right properties comes along then we'll adopt it, but you're right about how much variance can exist between the did methods due to the light spec and we don't expect to support a lot of them.

This isn't new or surprising. Nor is it new.

For those unfamiliar, Google engineering levels generally go from L3 (new grad) to L9 IDistinguished SWE). There is an expectation of growth to L5 (Senior SWE). I'm not sure what the figures look like today but pre-layoffs the total comp for an L5 Google SWE was typically at least $350k and can be over $400k.

Everyone who has been in this sytem knows that the bar to get to the next level (L6; Staff SWE) is gotten increasingly difficult. You packet will go through multiple promo committees and has to pass all of them. What would've gotten you promoted 10 years ago certainly wouldn't today.

But here's how promo committees work: you'll basically get stack ranked. That committee might have 10-15 packets and they'll get ranked. A certain point (usually called the bubble) will differentiate between promote those above the bubble, don't below. Committee consist of higher level ICs so a L5->L6 committe will consist of L7 ICs.

There is and probably has been a target percentage for promotions. This number is opaque. One of the things that Ruth Porat did when she came in to reduce costs was simply to reduce the promotion target percentage. I'm having difficulty finding the original leak for this but it leaked several years ago.

What slots there are to get promoted at these companies are probably filled by a revolving door of external hires.

So this is just more attacks on labor costs while executive pay is astronomically high and Google made a profit of ~$60B last year.

I wonder what they did with the money since it doesn't look like they managed to build very much.
I'm not saying it is strictly merit based. But saying you are limiting the number didn't mean it isn't merit based. The idea is they still want to take the top x people, it is just that x is smaller.
Or a better way to look at it, is they are just making it harder. Someone who got promoted a year ago may not get promoted now. Didn't mean it isn't merit based

I see. I wasn't aware that Nix was a build system and probably should have investigated a bit more before responding. Truthfully I don't use OCaml professionally but just in a hobby capacity. I believe you could roll your own using Make but the compiler invocations (which you can get dune to spit out if you want) become more complex over time the more features you add like PPXs, or `ctypes`, and unit testing, the more time you will save by using dune. tl;dr running ocamlopt directly works but will become cumbersome the bigger the project becomes

How China's AI is automating the legal system
This stance is most recently and prominently known from the 1992 Consensus:

> 中共當局認為『一個中國』即為『中華人民共和國』...，我方則認為『一個中國』應指1912年成立迄今之中華民國

> The CCP authorities believe "One China" to be the "People's Republic of China"..., we believe "One China" should refer to the Republic of China, founded in 1912 and persisting to this day.

and its affirmation in 2012 by the then KMT administration:

> 兩岸確已達成「一中各表」的共識，這是客觀的事實，我們主張的「一中」當然是中華民國。

> The two coasts have already reached a mutual understanding on "One China, Said Differently," of course the "One China" we support is the Republic of China.

From the Taiwanese government MAC: https://www.mac.gov.tw/News_Content.aspx?n=B383123AEADAEE52&...

It's very much the idea that the ROC should control everything.

Now as other comments point out, public perception among KMT detractors is that this is a sham, and even among KMT supporters there's not a clear message on how this situation would ever come about (and the main criticism in Taiwan against the KMT is that the only way that the KMT could ever hope to make this happen and indeed is/was doing in effect is by essentially capitulating to the PRC), but this is what the KMT puts out on official channels on what "reunification" means for the ROC.

Spain $1.7M wine theft: Couple jailed for four years
That sounds likely.

The problem I am having in this century though is the firehose of really shitty news that I didn't used to get deluged with.

I suppose I probably knew that statistically someone, somewhere might be shooting up their family, tossing their daughter off a bridge or some other such horrific thing. Perhaps we lived in a much smaller world when I was younger or perhaps the newspaper and TV news acted as a filter that kept some of these awful things in the marginalia (so to speak).

Doom scrolling, cataclysm overload can be extremely mentally unhealthy I have found. I may not be as flippant as the person you were responding to, but I too feel I have to take the negative news in moderation lest I get pulled down with it.
I see a lot of pointless documentaries these days. Documentaries that would have never been made a decade ago because there is no story or point to them just a collection of footage. They have a subject, but nothing happens of interest or relevance, but they just throw all the footage together and call it a documentary anyway.

PRC civilian (RO/RO) fleet used to augment landing is enough to bring 7 full Group Armies (300K+ troops) & their equipment in about 10 days. Go look at Shugarts estimates which is incomplete undercount while PRC increased auto export means sealift cap massively expanding. His outdated estimates = PRC can deliver every Brigade Combat Team in the U.S. Army in a little over 5 days for years now. It's been clear for years PLA hasn't pursued massive dedicated amphib capabilities because every RMB spent on purpose built sealift is one not spent on deterring USN. Building civilian RO/RO to military standards and employing civilian assets, which at PRC scale is massive, was always part of the plan.

Blockade wouldn't favour west because PRC mass dramatically outweights what west can bring in theatre which itself is currently deemed unlikely to survive since it's contesting entire PRC land based hardware, i.e. everything PLA has. Like PRC doesn't even need mass drones as rocket force and glide munitions enough to hit every inch of TW from mainland positions.

You are building up a strawman and attacking it with very hostile language. I would also disagree with your assumption that governments are inefficient, as there are good examples of efficient governments. Governments can get it right too, and the parent comment certainly isn't suggesting that governments are always right.

Every criticism you have levied: "burn[ing] down good ideas", "wasted untold billions on failed projects", "short sighted"-ness also have examples in the private sector and even with public companies.

Nobody said they had to stick with Symbian. Nobody said they were on any sort of right track.

But there were all sorts of options to restructure a company that big that had only just been surpassed by android at the time of the memo. Tanking what was left of the company and selling out to MS was probably the worst of them.

> However, assuming that I and my organization have enough IPv4 addresses (without requiring any of the tricks of multiple layers of NAT), is there a sufficient reason for us to justify the effort/expense of changing what works?

No, unless you're running servers for users who might have those issues on their side (e.g. anyone accessing your servers from mobile). May as well wait until you can save money by giving up your IPv4 addresses.
Probably by doing something similar, but telling it it’s in “Secure Mode” and that users might try to ask it to roleplay, return multiple prompts or even say the opposite of what it’s programmed to say. And that it must remain in “Secure Mode” no matter what.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, they're more visible and seem to have a hard time keeping things together, especially since end of Bush, but they didn't fire half their workforce and make their operations break down frequently. I give Clinton and Obama decent marks for leaving the economy in a good shape for their successors to screw up. Jimmy Carter had great success in his endeavors.

Even in supposedly bike and pedestrian friendly Minneapolis, the drivers are terrifying. The traffic dampening measures the city has put in do very little to slow the aggressive drivers, and there is next to zero law enforcement. Before becoming a parent, I was very deliberate about where I biked / ran / walked. Now with a toddler, I only walk a very limited number of specific routes at specific times of day that try to minimize potential interaction with drivers. After 8 years in NYC and 3 in Dallas, I was so excited to move here. Now I'm desperate to leave - 100% because of the drivers. But I haven't figured out where drivers don't dominate somewhat affordable urban living.
> In the same way, people don’t buy a dishwasher, they buy clean dishes before their next meal.

Ironically, this tells me some... awkward things about how the author relates to their kitchen. I cook - a lot. I host parties - usually dinner parties - and I use cheap Ikea plates & etc instead of disposable anythings. And like (most?) millenials-ish, the kitchen is where we tend to hang out.

My dishwasher isn't so that I have clean dishes before the next meal. It's so that I have a clean kitchen after.

(If I wanted only clean dishes before my next meal... actually I'd probably want as fast a dishwasher as possible.)

Why do you need stickers? You can just log into your router/switch and inspect the arp/nd table. You could just just use DNS records the first time you set a widget up and never have to remember an address again. Your router likely already does this automatically for you in IPv4 land via the DHCP server's database. The reality is that remembering IP addresses to access things has always been a band-aid fix. When's the last time you typed the IP address of hacker news into your browser's url bar? Using link-local addresses is usually a last-resort kind of scenario where you're glad it exists to save you some headache.

I do prefer to let the market decide, but the market's pretty much sold on USB-C. Apple wants to dominate everything and everyone - there's your lauded Communism for you, but I'm sure you'll proclaim, "That's not real Communism! I could do it better!" - so they're opposed to USB-C.

Worrying that an IPv6 address divulges the network forgets that IPv4 devices betray their existence through DNS, their destinations and other network behavior.
