thanks for sharing the experience and thoughts behind it.

I just went thru a similar page redesign and your layout experience resonate with mine. totally agree flex is probably the most overkilling choice here.

I end up not go with grid but old pal float in 3 col view, mainly bc my use case is not typical [L, M, R] -> [L, M/R] -> [L/M/R] layout pattern, but more complex [L1/L2, M, R1/R2] -> [L1/R1/L2/M/R2], and the variable height of each part make the height attribute very difficult to manage in 3 col view.
In my observation, private schools (outside the most ritzy ones) are usually VERY hesitant to remove students because they can’t afford the revenue loss while public schools get the same money either way.

The ability to separate good students (regardless of financial or ethnic background) so they can learn without disruption from kids not wanting to learn is a huge positive. Lots of brilliant kids are held back by the terrible schools they are forced to attend. This would provide much better equality of opportunity.
Edward Snowden basically threw his life away to prove we're completely surveilled here in the US, and the "Western World" in general.

What's different here that you're free to criticize the Government without fear of (open) repression.
> The big question for the G.O.P. during the Biden era is whether the legacy of Carlson’s culture wars adds up to a viable platform for a major political party.

Translation: please retreat to complaining about regulation and taxes (and starting the occasional war - we won't complain too much about that one, like we didn't hold Trump's assassination of Qasem Soleimani against him), and let us decide how culture and the country will evolve by inserting propaganda into even math class [1].

They try to put it in the most generic, inoffensive terms, like "learn about race", but what they mean is learn about race from people who agree with them on every racial issue. I guarantee that if, say, it was American Renaissance putting together and administering the coursework to children, even if every question of fact in that coursework was accurate and beyond dispute, the author would very quickly realize the wisdom of sticking to just math.

For me the big turning point at Meta was the acquisition of Oculus. At the time, it was great, forward-thinking and gave everyone a lot of hope for the future of Meta and even society if you believed the hype. This peaked at about 2020 when the opportunity for VR and remote work became real and necessary due to an unprecedented pandemic.

However, we all know the rest; hyperfocus on VR to the detriment of the rest of the company (most notably Instagram missing out on short-form video content) leading to the gradual slide off the cliff. VR is still important but Zuck needs to radically reshift and refocus to save the farm and stave off OpenAI. Interesting few years ahead.

I don't think it's about the money.

Working during the restrictions was traumatic.

At least in the UK, a stressful and busy but ultimately friendly job was converted into playing restriction police. I'm not surprised that a ton of people just decided to sack the job off after that.
I think it's fair to say that the extent of the spying on global citizens being so absurdly extreme was also worth whistleblowing - it's not location of hidden bases and spies, it's that General Dynamics " collect the contents or metadata of all cell phone calls in the Bahamas, Mexico, the Philippines, and Kenya. The Australian Signals Directorate has cooperated with NSA on the collection in the Philippines" and so on.

Being Canadian, I see him as a whistleblower as well, since the extent of canadian surveillance was also revealed.

I'd argue it's even better that he did the jobs of multiple whistleblowers by sharing the extent of domestic spying in other countries. No need to wait years for other people to put their lives in jeopardy.
This may be why the commenter used "popularized".
software piracy has two effects - it keeps prices lower and it helps spread the purchase of legal licenses of software.

It helps spread the legal license of software because by using illegal software you learn how to use it and when you get to a job you ask your employer for a version of the software you are familiar with, or because others need to buy software to interop with your illegal software.

There is not really any reason to suppose that pirated books help the sale of real books in a similar manner.
The left: "X change would be better because Y".

The right, having a meltdown about it: "I'm superior, you're snowflakes, you're pathetic babies, you're weak, I'm a real adult, I'm not afraid, you're triggered by everything, blah blah".

Why does this happen? Why are you so insecure that suggesting a way for documentation to be made clearer makes you conjour up a fantasy about an imaginary group of people who can't learn Russian so that proves they're inferior to you?
For those that don't find the irritation caused to others as a sufficient reason to stop doing it, consider that it just simply sounds unprofessional and basically just simply inhibits clarity. It sounds like a slightly more refined version of spamming, like, the filler word "like" all over your documentation.

People rightly deduct style and professionalism points for this regardless of whether they're personally offended.
I agree in general that they're often misused, but "just" and "simply" do have a place. Specifically in place of "only" or "instead", or to set up a subjective comparison.

A: I'm going to do X, Y, and Z.

B: If you just do X, we'll meet the requirements.

A: I tried X Y and Z to fix my problem.

B: You can simply reinstall the IDE.
>Energizer agreed "under pressure from Walmart" to inflate wholesale battery prices for other retailers starting around January 2018, and require those retailers not to undercut Walmart on price.

If successful, hopefully this gives them freedom to investigate WalMart for this kind of practice with all of their vendors?

I am not advocating for total transparency, but exactions committed by the state cannot be classified as secrets.

So if a leak leads to revealing such crimes, the whistle-blower should not be prosecuted, unless you can prove they deliberately leaked information to harm innocent civilians.

I specifically say civilians because I consider that the military and officials who are part of the state know the responsibilities involved in their position... and if they do not generate any content worthy of leaking (crimes), they will not be exposed to this risk.

Ask HN: Ever noticed a work habit you disliked and changed for the better?
Saw this on a HN topic: https://justsimply.dev/ and it reminded me of a work habit I had, and how I changed it.

It talks about how we should avoid using words like “simply” and “it’s simple” when talking to users. This reminded me of how I had no idea how impactful this word could be for users. I’ll add the word “don’t worry” here as well when referring to their issues.

I came to understand that they can come across as dismissive or condescending. Or, even worse, can make the person feel as though their problem is insignificant or that they are not intelligent enough to understand the solution.

To change this behaviour, I had a userscript that highlighted these words whenever I typed them, making me more aware of them and looking for ways to rewrite the sentence.

Can you think of a work habit you had that you wanted to change, and what steps you took to change it?

When facing personal crises, juggling work priorities can be overwhelming. Dealing with family emergencies, health issues, financial hardship, and natural disasters can make it impossible to focus on work.

It's crucial to communicate with your supervisor, letting them know what's going on to get support and adjust workload accordingly. Don't hesitate to ask for help from colleagues too.

Prioritizing your tasks is essential, focusing on the most critical ones first. Delegating or postponing non-essential tasks may be necessary.

It's common to feel unmotivated during difficult times. Remember to prioritize your well-being and mental health, seek support from outside resources such as counseling or therapy, and participate in peer networks to feel less isolated.

Don't forget to take care of yourself by making self-care a priority and taking time off work if needed.

By utilizing these strategies, you can manage your work productivity while prioritizing your mental health and well-being during a personal crisis.
Which, at this stage of such a story, can safely just be referred to as a conspiracy.
Exit Advice from Founders
Selling bootstrapped startup (S Corp) 100% owned by one person. The buyer wants to do a stock deal - i.e., acquire 100% of the stock. But the Legal costs will be high.

Options include

1. Asset sale - sell code base

2. Exclusive license

3. Sell the stock.

The company is 5 years old.

What is the best tax option? Perhaps an empirical example.

Ps not a major amount - exit value - just $4m.

I want to get some good options before handing off over to law firm. Would like to ensure that legal fees are optimized.
Reviving old music seems like it's just one of those 10,000 things:

https://xkcd.com/1053/

And it doesn't have to be the original recording either. Consider how jazz works.

There's money in promoting it because people don't necessarily find new music to listen to on their own.

If the music is too familiar to you, find some other music that's new to you. The catalog is vast and we're never going to run out.
The thing about watching chess that’s different from other games, is that it’s not obvious to inexperienced players when important things happen and why.

The only way is to increase your skill level. I played for years before I could appreciate a live game played at the IM or GM level.

At tournaments there’s typically a watch room with a board and a proctor that tries different lines and variations on the position. If you didn’t understand something then playing out the line would help understand the motivation.

Not sure if there’s a good proxy for that now, since honestly I haven’t played much since the advent of chess AI started offering far better analysis than a kibbitz room. But maybe there’s some software that can help with the explanation now.

But practicing is the only way to understand it. So if youre interested, keep at it!

The "Ding froze" assessment from game 7 was the fake-news media meme but wasn't the reality. He explained it after the fact. He knew what he was doing. He thought his position was lost, so he was calculating everything to look for a line to save a draw with perpetual checks / threefold repetition. He felt he had nothing to lose by expending all his time searching for that since he was going to lose anyway if he didn't find it. He was incorrect in evaluating his position as worse than it was (remember the players don't get the computer analysis numbers), but he wasn't incorrect in his time management stemming from that evaluation.

The same went for Nepo's supposed "tilt" in the last WCC match against Carlsen, that was media exaggeration. He lost one game with one mistake, so then had to push into risky positions after that in hopes of catching up, since he had nothing more to lose in match terms. The big discrepancy in score for that match wasn't domination, it was an artifact of the meta-factor of playing for high variance.
I'm unsure how the monarchy could be a check and a balance when the "constitutional settlement" is generally considered to include the monarch staying out of politics publicly - the monarch acts on the advice of ministers, which is to say the monarch is essentially a rubber stamp with several enormous palaces they can be stored in.

There are checks and balances. When Boris Johnson unlawfully prorogued parliament, judicial review leading to a supreme court judgement eventually overturned the order, concluding his advice to the Queen was outside the powers of the Prime Minister. This is a fairly drastic outcome but Brexit was an interesting constitutional fuzzing campaign and we had a situation where the speaker of the house stretched the definition of impartiality quite a bit too.

Other checks and balances include His Majesty's Loyal Opposition and assorted members of Parliament who may disagree with whatever bill is under consideration (the opposition are currently a bit useless, you may be forgiven for thinking they don't exist) and the House of Lords, who scrutinize bills passed from the commons (and do object to things quite frequently in spite of the irritation this causes to the PM of the day).

It isn't perfect, but as the system is currently set up I'm not sure the monarchy can be regarded to have "failed" to check or balance the party in parliament. As to whether the constitution should be written down - I think it would probably be useful, but it is unlikely - and checks and balances still work as shown in the prorogation case. As for first-past-the-post and the UK's electoral system in general - again, yeah, a problem. I'm British and it doesn't matter who I vote for since whoever the conservative candidate is will be returned for my constituency, guaranteed. However, that's also not something the monarchy can change.
I believe it is possible to implement effective and fundamentally sound functional programming without types. Types just make it easier to avoid mistakes in functional programming. Like object oriented paradigms can be implemented in procedural languages like C, but they are easier in languages with built-in object oriented tools.

First class functions are definitely a must.
While I agree with your complaints, I don’t agree with your sense of complaints. It seems much of your opinions are a result of western capitalist indoctrinations. (I have recently stumbled across my own indoctrinations and am trying to undo them.) I would love to discuss this in IRL. We would have much to talk about.
So I'm confused, why didn't you just file and inform them that you had filed and they now owed you double? From my reading you were 2 months in. They have no disincentive from your situation to improve.

I mean if you were concerned about the hassle it seems you could have equally said, 45 days have passed, at this point you are legally obliged to give me 2x the deposit, citing the law as you did. Pay me 1.5x the deposit now or 2x when I file at the local court.

At least then in the future they may respond to the first message to future tenants.

In general, it seems reasonable to ask whether there are long-term patterns of change. And the article makes the case that overall sales were still down in Q4 last year in addition to the percentage of takeout still being higher than pre-pandemic.

I'm a bit surprised to be honest. Restaurants seem as busy as ever but I admittedly don't eat out a lot unless I'm traveling and obviously don't personally have hard data other than what's in articles like this. There seems to be a pretty consistent pattern that the "new normal" is mostly not radically different from the "old normal" but there are definitely some shifts at the margins.
> "What’s the person on the other side of the trade up to?"

The same thing: hedging/insuring against price changes. The supplier (ultimately, a farmer, steel mill, gold miner, electricity generator, etc) is getting a guaranteed price for the commodity they're selling, reducing risk.
Why the hell would you believe a cop actually just said that?

They are probably not actually a cop, but even of they are, they are only making a point to expose the bad advice of the parent comment.
Tenants trash the place or don't pay IS a real risk. I have family who just lost 300k in damages and unpaid rent with bad tenants.

Similarly, value decline is another real risk. I have lost 200k in value on home I live in. If I needed to sell, I would be SOL, which is a low occurrence but serious risk.
I've seen international competitions where the winner is interviewed by a reporter from their home country in their native language. It can often be a nice touch, and is very different from using a translator to speak to English speaking reports.

What we need are laws requiring Social Media to support children. To give them a safe space that their parents can monitor. It should be a simple affirmative thing, like a birth-date, with no other authentication required.

That way a parent can set up the account for the child, and then monitor their activities through the site. Once they age out, their parents roles are reduced appropriately.

The same should also be true in reverse, so that adults can monitor the social media of their elderly parents, to keep them from getting scammed. This can be negotiated and agreed to by the parents.

Either way, a person under care of another should see zero ads.
Faulty how?
The ideal way a landlord review site would work is tenants like reviews of landlords.

But if the system is anonymous, what's to stop any of the following bad actor situations?

* Real tenants leave false negative reviews: people who really did have the landlord, but has some feud with the landlord unrelated to the rental, leave negative reviews.

* Fake tenants leave false negative reviews: same as above, except the people didn't actually live there, such as the landlord's competitors.

*Fake tenants leave false positive reviews: friends of the landlord, or the landlord's sockpuppet account, leave glowing reviews.

How can the site be trustworthy given that you don't know if you're reading a legitimate or fake review.
tianqi sold all his shares of SQM (one of Chile lithium companies, around 23%) after the announcement.
The situation of the lithium in Chile is very particular. in the Pinochet dictatorship, litium was nationalized, because it was a key ingredient of atomic bombs (and not much else at that time), and USA didn't want other countries to access the resource, so all current mines are in a lease contract (Albemarle until 2043, SQM until 2030). the new proposition opens new zones for exploitation, in exchange of the public-private parnership

I use VSCode daily. In my experience, 1) nearly every day VSCode wants me to update some extension, which I find annoying, 2) there is a teeny typing lag in VSCode when compared to my terminal. It is nothing you would typically notice and doesn't bother me, but typing in my terminal feels instantaneous, which makes it very pleasant.

I completely agree. I would have to had I been able to.
They're likely to bring social media with them into nature, take pictures, make remote places popular, and thus ruin them. I'm sure tourism in world-famous cities is guilty of this, but I specifically recall a sunflower field somewhere in Canada that went viral, and people would come to take pictures and leave litter everywhere.

Claiming that Gimp is a Photoshop replacement is really doing OSS a disservice. I believe it's highly likely that people who make this claim haven't used Photoshop in a very long time. The incredibly sad truth is that there is no OSS Photoshop - but at least there's Affinity products (which don't work on Linux/Wine, so I find myself screwed in this regard no matter what).
> To improve outcomes you need a unified school district and limit the existence of private schools.

The true rich will send their kids away to another state, or even another country, if that's what it takes to get their kids into a good school. To stop this and force all the rich kids into public schools you'd have to ban all private schools, not just in the state, not just in every state, but in every single country around the world.

The good news is the above doesn't matter, you don't need rich students to have a good school, you can let all super rich families send their brats to expat boarding schools in the UK and Japan without losing anything that matters to the rest. The entrance and attendance requirements that actually matter don't concern money, but rather student behavior and performance. It is possible to create great schools in poor communities with very little local funding IFF those schools are allowed to have strict requirements for behavior and performance and are empowered to kick out students that fall short of those requirements.
That is how they were in the beginning. I recommend reading about the development of markets and futures trading to see what benefits they provide, as they are a component of any developed economy around the world.

...and they had to put up posters outlining worker rights.

Almost 100% of the comments in this thread seem to gloss over the fact that this lawsuit was due to the actions of one manager in an autobody store. And his actions were counter to Tesla's official policy which clearly states that it is acceptable to discuss salary. Based on the comments alone you'd think the article was about a class action suit.

Why extrapolate the actions of one person to those of the entire organization?

Go look at the job board on the Tesla website. Their salaries and benefits look great to me.
You are misrepresenting my opinion and values because I don't agree with your particular solution to the problem of homelessness. Your ideas are bad, proven time and time again that they don't work. Instead of debating the merits, you paint me as some caricature. Thus proving that you live and operate in a world so insular that you have no idea how the real world actually works. You have no data to back up your claims, only insults. This is why nobody takes arguments like yours seriously.

I could very easily say you lack "human decency" by forcing the poor to live in run-down government housing. And that argument is just as strong as the one you are promoting.

You need to recognize that you are putting in effort here to elevate your own status in some "in group", not actually trying to argue a position with data and facts. Armchair socialism is entertaining, usually promoted by wealthy kids who have very few problems of their own. Honestly, this is me trying to help you.
