Liability of a hospital for actions of an independent contractor physician in a medical malpractice trial depended (at least partially…) on whether an uninformed person would confuse that individual as an agent/employee of the hospital. The intentionally murky delineation used by hospitals to shield themselves from liability by hiring non-employee contractors seems to mirror the journalist/opinion personally that media tries to get away with. I was on the jury for this trial, which also ended in a settlement. I suspect the hospital was quick to settle rather than set any precedent that might hurt their liability shield.
Either a horticulturalist/permaculturist or an industrial electrician.

Both are and will be required skills for the foreseeable future (next 200 years or so).

Knowing how to grow food and maintain a healthy environment is becoming a lost skill. “Grounding” has science now saying it’s a good thing for your blood, heart and brain (don’t have link on hand but when connected to ground scientists have found blood physically changes and can be seen in microscope).

Electricians are usually a licensed trade. This makes it more protected but also makes you more useful.

You can branch into engineering later if you wish, and you usually make for a better engineer cause you know a 630mm^2 cable doesn’t fit in a 20mm gland.

Substation automation based on IEC61850 is everywhere and more common. It consists of servers, gateways, IEDs (which also need programming), Ethernet, VLANS, switches etc. so you get a technology knowledge base you can relate to other areas of yours, or your friends and families life.

You can also learn to program SCL files using python or other such tools. Get bored of big power? Switch over to instrument and controls.

There will always be a need for plants, food and power. Why not set yourself up for success those ways?

(Oh! And you get paid to train when you’re an apprentice and you don’t end up with student debt or university fees)

And thought, "yeah, it's fucking awesome."
I'm not disputing that claim of yours, but you're missing the point. I'm saying the heuristics for quality you presented, when taken in the context of our internet, tend to press culture towards shit quality, or as some parent comment mentioned "fame and gimmicks."

For the record, the type of personal recommendation I'm talking about cannot be viral, in any useful context for the word. I'm talking about recommendations delivered one on one and as an ongoing conversation over many moons; Not recommendations that I see in my Facebook Feed as a Facebook Post from my Facebook Friends to their Facebook Followers. These mediums are insufficient and grow worse, IMO.

Don't they have to swap the lights anyway if the ferry reverses direction? After all, the red/green indicators are primarily for showing which direction the ship is moving in.

And as with anything, sufficiently motivated legal representation will argue your way into the most favorable grey area possible. Arbitrary example being a license key that activates the software, but the activated software is effectively a hardcoded trade show demo version. The point most folks seem to be making is that “this isn’t corporate america’s first rodeo” and that like many other industries before software will end up with it’s own numerous nuances and loopholes established by extensive litigation.
Have groups of individuals been any less misguided?

Eugenics is one of those ideas that might sound good in theory, but a world in which the government has absolute control over one of your most basic human instincts is a horrible world.
It should just be a standard browser feature with a JavaScript API. Think of something similar to window.confirm() or a standard based on HTTP headers like Do Not Track. There could then just be a standard setting in the browser preferences and the world could be a better place again ten years from now.
This is a sign that governments and, by extension, people in power are very fragile and very scared. Like an animal backed into a corner, they're lashing out violently and defensively, bc they are afraid that accountability is coming.

There will certainly be more of this type of behavior, even in the US, and the rest of the world is about to realize why the US has the kind of constitution that it does.
Unless the parent edited, I don't believe they claimed it wasn't illegal. I mean we're here because the title of the article says as much. But you can pass any law you want, and it'll still be very easy to press a person's finger to a button against their will
Yes, AFAIK there is Bottles and Lutris, but I’m struggling with staring games through them. Perhaps it’s just me though.

I always remember the phrase ‘there’s no port left in the bottle’. Similarly, the port-side navigation lights are red, the same colour as port.
> The only thing momentum does is that it scales with speed

And mass...

If you have a fixed amount of energy, the amount of destruction you can create on your target is a complex function of how much delta-v you need. But the maximum is never on the extreme of "just emit all the energy there at once". It can always improve by adding some mass.

On those other comparisons, you probably have a point, assuming the people tech looks like the things we can imagine at realistic sci-fi.

Every single round of layoffs generates several stories:

1. Announcement

2. Identifying who is affected

3. Start of the actual action

4. Morale is affect this or that way

So we hear each action in painful detail. Not as painful detail as the folks getting laid off of course. But each story hits the front page.

I’m fairly confident that the “bow” in that case is always the direction of travel in this case and that starboard/port side change.

The lighting scheme on ships indicates the starboard side with a green light and the port side with a red light. This allows ships to figure out which way another ship is heading - especially at night. If you can see the red light on the left and green on the right while facing the other ship it’s going away from you, if it’s reversed then it’s coming towards you. If you can only see green it’s going to your right, to your left if you can see red.

Retaining that property is important for navigation, so starboard and port have to swap sides.
I've always heard the adage "cut once, cut deep" to avoid repeated destruction of morale. Anyone care to speculate about Meta's rationale behind repeated cuts?
That I find an interesting concept, because at the same time, they're trying to combat bot-generated posts. So how long until we have GPT 'learning' from its own output?

In English "right" is one syllable and "starboard" is two. All things considered, using right/left is more concise. If you are aware enough of your orientation on a boat to know where port and starboard are located, you are also aware enough to know where left and right are located.
They can’t do it that way because the question of right of way only matters when two boats are going towards each other. The coloration is an easy visual indicator of where a boat is generally going that doesn’t require seeing any other part of the boat to work, and will even work in fog. You cannot safely flip the directions for any fraction of the boat’s travel.
This is where the insanity really started. It used to require 8-20 senators to physically filibuster to actually kill a bill. On a major bill, the small number of senators also risked reputational harm from the sound bites of them reading their phone books.

Now anyone can start a filibuster, it largely goes unrecorded - and pressure for party unity prevents it from being killed.
It was included. The rule hasn't been changed. The interpretation of the rule in one specific case has been confirmed, without having changed the rule. That means that, as written, this dark pattern was always illegal.

My friends and I live all around the US. The one game we all play together has anticheat. It also happens to be cross platform and they are on console. As far as being happy - being able to cross play with my buds and voice chat while we are thousands of miles apart is well worth it.

I'm not a Windows user anymore, but I think you're selling them short. Windows has been a very good OS for 20+ years. If you think it's bad now, you should have seen it during the Windows 95/98/ME era. Around 2000-ish, they started getting serious about security and they began the conversion of their mainstream OS to the NT kernel. Since then it's been rock solid and the backwards compatibility is second to none.

It's really just the shitty UI more than anything else. The ads and paid placement are an embarrassment, and they still have an inconsistent UI going back to Windows 8. I guess you could throw in telemetry too.

I have just as many gripes about MacOS - probably more. I have really disliked that OS for several years now. I feel like I have to conform to it rather than have it work for me.

These days, I'm a happy Linux user. It's not perfect, but it's the best of the big 3 for me.

S Corp is just a tax filing status. Your legal entity remains an LLC.

The benefit of S Corp tax status is that you pay yourself a dividend in addition to your income. They are taxed differently.

The drawback is you now have a payroll obligation.

An LLC can be single member. An LLC with S Corp tax status cam also be single member.

There's a lot of info about S Corp status online. Hopefully this puts the strategy on your radar for more investigation.

Good idea. I would love text ads every time I open PowerShell. Sort of like fortune on Linux, but obviously more practical.
Something said in jest may yet contain elements of truth! :)
It's so weird to see the Fox News bubble (As someone who never visits the site) isn't just ideological, but also topic specific. For example, they are highlighting Aaron Carter and two Florida men who shot children in a road rage incident.

No comment on the content, just weird to see 'some else's algorithm' beyond the obvious political stuff - I'm vaguely aware of both stories, but have not seen extensive coverage in my bubble.
Thanks for sharing your experiences I found this very interesting. As you said yourself, an eclectic group of characters!
That is Apple's statement, but I'd be surprised if 50% of iOS/macOS users noticed any significant change with lockdown mode on. Unless you are using shared albums or answering unknown facetime calls, there isn't much impact. JIT, WebAssembly, etc. can be re-enabled per site.

The tribe. It could be enforced at the local level, and/or elevated to a higher level. Also that artist was correct, it's just taboo to admit it.
There are other uses for the definite article. E.g., "Down the hall and on the left." It's also used in relation to motion. "Go to the left of that ship." Even if you went with it, though, it still has the potential to be confusing.

Speaking as somebody who sails occasionally, to me "left" and "port" are just very different concepts. It's sort of like driver's side and passenger's side of the car, but more intense. So I think the desire to use "left" mainly comes from people who don't spend much time on ships, an audience, not particularly important to sailors. Sort of like how non-programmers might struggle with some of our technical terms, but we'd never change.
There’s a key difference here, in that Reddit bots still operate for free and Twitter bots don’t.
Because the KPIs for the OneDrive product managers is based on usage.

Ha! I thought of this in one of the down thread discussions. Very curious on any official answer here, and I'll have to pay attention to the lights on the ferry, next time I'm on it.
Port and starboard are indeed fixed (same with bow and stern), so that no matter which way the boat is moving or the passengers are facing, those words always refer to the same physical sides of the boat :)
The site doesn't require that you accept the ads. It just uses dark patterns to make you accept tracking.
Yes, let's not take things out of context.

In a world where Tucker Carlson has gained more political power and is legislating some policy which should be very politically popular, he still believes the right way to do things is in an "ends justify the means" fashion, and would therefore be willing to mislead the public - and anyone else that required misleading - in order to enact this policy. Again, this is something that he argues would protect the jobs of millions of Americans.

How can you possibly think that we are taking it "out of context"? This is ironclad evidence for people who argue something like "Tucker Carlson is a lying maniac who puts himself and what he thinks is important before justice and integrity". Even when in idealistic hypotheticals constructed for PR, he still would do what he does best: make up pretext for public consumption.
Ambiguity can be cultural. In some dialects in the Philippines, the only required preposition is "sa". Others exist, but aren't required for speaking.

It's intriguing to say the least.
I've seen the 1 and 2 labels on barges near me.

I suspect they just don't use this terminology, unless it's to communicate with other vessels, and then it's presumably based on movement direction like you say.
It's not true in general that boats always dock on the port side.
Ah, I recall 1998 when my big idea was a DVD delivery and pickup service for Manhattan, with an online selection tool, utilizing the bicycle messengers that were already delivering items to your office.

Thankfully nobody encouraged me and I never wasted blood and treasure on the project ;)
Lambda or ECS with GitHub Actions for sure; I'd avoid Amplify for a variety of reasons (including their markup of the already usurious data egress fee).

I might very well consider Vercel or similar; it's become pretty clear that AWS doesn't really get the frontend developer experience...
I would say no to this. Reddit is giving you a platform and in exchange they get the content. If you don't think that is fair deal you're free to just not make the content.
It's not related
There's a very important clause immediately before that though: "For purposes of this section".

Also the parent clause says: "In the case of a taxpayer’s specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year—"

So just don't specify the expenditures as research or experimental if you don't want this section to apply.

What if you're addressing someone on a boat who's facing sideways? Or a group of people facing different directions? Or you can't see them and don't know which direction they're facing, and they don't know which direction you're facing?
> "It’s also a lot bleaker than it was in Matsumoto’s heyday." is also something that can't be corroborated. Ashita no Joe predates it and it got dark and was the first really big serious anime. Gundam would follow it soon afterwards and that starts out with galactic war. Ideon anyone?

Also, it's probably been about 20 years since I've watched it, so maybe my memory is failing me here, but isn't Matsumoto's own Galaxy Express 999 pretty bleak? The article mentions it a few times, but pretty much only in aesthetic terms. I seem to remember it being a barely-subtext running theme that traveling to a different place won't let you escape societal corruption, it will just change the particular flavor of it that you encounter.
If not corrected, the long reaching impact of this could snowball very badly in some places. Look at areas in California, which are largely economies based on software development. If taxes cause those businesses, and jobs to disappear, the impact to unemployment, housing markets, etc. could be quite dire in some areas.

Even in large business, it could make life for engineers harder. Sure, the business can weather the change, but any amount of excess staff? Tax liability now and no longer a write off that can offset other income taxes. I think it's short sighted to view it as a small business only problem.

Which, might actually help it get resolved faster.
Valuation is not profit. He massively over paid for twitter, everyone knew that, he knew that....

Twitter was never worth that, realistic valuation before the buyout announcement was closer to 25-30 billion, and they most likely were going into poor financial results that would have tanked the value further down to probably 20 or less.

>We can use the accounts from advertisers and firms that have shared they no longer work with Twitter too.

Lots of virtue signalling, many have come back, and most cut their ads spend for other reasons and on all platforms but used the twitter controversy to score some political points with the ESG crowd.

You are talking about two different types of ads. “We” hate targeted ads. “We” love context specific ads. When I search for “best EV to buy in 2023”, I’m more than happy to see a few results ads from Ford and VW. (That was the entire premise of Google when they started). But, learning that I’m interested in an EV because I messaged a friend on Instagram about it, or because I’m 35-45 years old, living in a “liberal city”, “making more than 200k”, and a “tree hugger” is what pisses people off - because that requires intense data collection about me and everything I do.

“We” like relevant ads and to be specific context-specific ads.
It was always generally leaned right, but the overall HN has definitely turned more aggressively right wing over the last few years. I think some of this is down to a number of high profile tech execs openly embracing far-right positions, including people associated with YC/HN.
It's my understanding during slavery, assuming we're thinking American Black slavery here and not something else like Egyptian slavery etc, slaves were allowed to have their own families which they picked and were not selected for some sort of "superior" trait in children. The death rates for slaves was 1.8% and for whites was 1.2%, so I don't think that would have been a factor either.

I wonder if any previous human civilization did actually select slaves that were stronger to try birth stronger slaves... horrifying to think about really, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done.
How to give yourself time to think
This is a great idea imo and has lots of room to play with. Using git has some interesting repercussions in which branches and revisions and reverts could play a role for someone creative enough to consider it. I imagine a story in which you revisit a previously read section and it is slightly different, with a sort of unreliable narrator aspect.

However, I beg you, please consider typography for the sample and other css. I cannot provide better recommendations but the one image was unpleasant to look at. Contrast, color, kerning, font, line height, etc. are very important if the goal is for the work to be read on a phone.
