>Yeah if you get this in Zurich or Vienna, sign in immediately. Then also fate of your family will depend on your line manager.

Exactly. Just like how Bitpanda and NXP used to relocate foreign workers and their families to Austria, then fire them when some shit hit the fan, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Moving countries with your family, especially to ones where you have no connections/family/support network and don't speak the language, is incredibly risky unless you're very well off or very talented in a skill that's in high demand where you move.

Like you said, you and your family are at the mercy of your line manager, at least for the fist few years till you get enough credit to qualify for social support and build a support network, so foreign workers tend to put up with way more overtime and unreasonable demands, because they don't want to risk loosing their jobs so soon after investing huge amounts of effort, time and money in relocating their families.
As someone who's felt both, I can say that this is absolutely not true. The things I've done and regretted have had real, lasting effects and the things I've regretted not doing are only hypothetical.

> not all singing derives from religious sources

If you look for the oldest written songs, they’re invariably religious. The evidence used to establish meditation as religiously derived is sufficient to prove the same for song.

In fact, with the evidence at hand, I could just as easily argue that all religion derives from meditation. Secularly speaking, that is a simpler hypothesis than the inverse.

> all modern meditation comes from religious sources

I said modern organised practices of meditation come from religious sources. That caveat is as big as the difference between organised religion and sprituality, generally.

Thanks for sharing the use case. However using it to defend the entire DMCA sounds like a false dichotomy. Surely there's a way to make rules only for those "awesome" uses, so that they don't have to be "clever" uses. C stands for Copyright and it's mainly used that way in practice.

I think we have already been living in a post-truth world ever since laws started to erode any journalistic accountability for news and media corporations. At least it's like that in Australia, just watch any recent friendlyjordies (yt) investigation to understand how the laws protect even the most incredibly bias and un-factual news stories.

Sure, more people might be tricked with the prevalence of AI but those people usually can't read between the lines anyway.
These large corporations outsource a ton of stuff to regular people, customers or not, and governments. This democratic republic has been captured by money, greed, and corporations. It's dystopian and backhanded.

I guess i just doubt the complete absence. Maybe people have different expectations of what imaginations would be. When I “see” a pink elephant, it is extremely fragmentary. If it were output directly, it’d be a mess. Also, not all at the same time.

It might also be that there are differences in the amount of attention given to different kinds of imagination.

Ask HN: I Think I Need a New Calendar App
Hi HN,

Sorry for posting this here, but since reddit meltdown I can't post there.

Here is the deal:

I am working freelance with a very flexible schedule, and I also live in the woods and have two young kids. As a result, I have both things I normally do every day (driving kids to school, working, preparing lunch, etc) -- and a ton of non-work stuff to do that often need to interrupt what I normally do (doctors appointments, do stuff in the garden, etc.).

Now, I have a very hard time staying on top of it all. To the point where I am finding it difficult planning a time to go to the hairdresser. Since my freelance job pays me by the hour, I set myself to work x hours in the day (on average per week) to ensure a fairly constant salary. But with all the other stuff I need to do, I always need to catch up on work I skipped and end up getting confused about how much work I did and how much work I can put in in the following days. The whole thing means that I am constantly struggling about what I should or shouldn't do.

So I am looking for an calendar app that's different to all the ones I have seen on the internet.

I think I need an app where there is a "default" mode, or "template week" or whatever you want to name it. That would hold the "regular things": work, driving kids to school, grocery shopping, etc. And then I could add "exceptional tasks", that would "interrupt" the "default" thing I would normally be doing at that time. This is so i can know when I take an appointment at the bank, this will reduce my work time by 2 hours. If it could also take care of padding the time with driving times between places that would be a huge help.

Anyone knows anything like this?

Otherwise, I'll just make a spreadsheet

I am a software engineer and I still use Figma to be in design mode. Messing around with how a gradient/shadow looks or moving elements around is way quicker graphically than with code. It helps me not default to things that are easy to implement, but might be worse despite of it.

Still, I think your approach would work. I would probably find myself sketching on paper now and then in that situation though :)
Slippery slope?

No, no, we're already down the slope and going fast, we are now at "dissolve informal ecologist organizations and raid their homes and families with antiterrorist groups and gear for the crimes of blocking some construction", "get friendly with neonazi groups and let them parade in Paris, let them attack prides and leftist bars".
> I like permissive licenses because I am not ideologically opposed to unfree software, and I’d rather software be used by a company than not at all.

My opinion differs here. First, the free philosophy is nice for me as a user: for instance say I buy a Marshall "smart" speaker, for which the software kind of sucks and is essentially not maintained (but still it connects to the internet...). I don't see how it would hurt Marshall to enable an open source ROM. After all, they sell the hardware, right? And a big part of the software running on that speaker is open source; they did not pay anything for it, and more often than not, they "forget" attribution for permissive code.

But companies try to minimize their costs, and contributing a bugfix back upstream is seen as a cost (conveniently ignoring that they did not pay for the software in the first place). With a copyleft license, of course the company can keep ignoring the license (like they do for attribution in permissive licenses), but at least it gives the developer an argument for contributing back upstream.

And it doesn't have to be GPL. LGPL and MPL are easy to handle.

> I’d rather software be used by a company than not at all.

If the software has value, I am convinced that they can deal with copyleft (see Linux). And if the majority of open source software was copyleft, then companies would be used to it. Copyleft is really not that bad, it is just perceived as a source of cost by companies.
Alternatively, they had such little practice that they weren't good at it.

Well, then Helix/Kakouine/Vim/Neovim isn't for you.

Doing things with a mouse is accessible to you because you've already learned how to do it. It's not innately more intuitive or self describing in any way, the learning curve is just behind you.

I used GUI editors for a long time. I'd operate my computer with my right index finger and resisted any attempt to change that interface. I'd learn the usual Ctrl shortcuts and what not, that was about it. One day I finally dove into Helix specifically and not only am I not looking back, I am finding and using software specifically based on whether it uses vim like key interface. If it can't it takes like 50% points off the software, going back to the mouse is just so painful I don't know how I ever tolerated it. I feel like a chicken operating a typewriter.
You are abusing the wrong law to do the right thing. You should be using privacy related laws for revenge porn, not copyright ones. Your actions prove OP's point.
Some anxiety helps people do things, too. This is where you get people who need deadlines, scheduled milestones, check-ins, or other rituals or anticipated events just so they can get it done. (No shame)

IMO the word "anxiety" is now of limited utility as far as human species development goes. Same with "procrastination." People are often caught short by not having appropriately-honed replacements for those words that can help them move to higher heights, while building on what we've all learned about those concepts in the past.

Google are the same here. They prefer to just not deal with most problems unless they detect it's common enough to look into. It's all driven by the numbers. If you request support for something it probably costs multiple months of several customers to even look at the single support request so it's cheaper to just cut you out.

Where this gets really ugly is when one of these software behemoths have a monopoly on a service that you need access to. Google Ads is a good example. If you are rejected for advertising on your website you may have no other viable advertising options available to you and your monetization through ads is DOA.

> The company I work at has a smoking-cessation VR app, takes 5 minutes for some people to go from decades of unbroken addiction/40 smokes a day/first smoke within 5 minutes of waking, to not even being able to think about smoking. There is no way to do what we do with a phone app or even a 3DTV, it requires VR.

Five minutes to quit smoking? There is one app that claims to be clinicly proven and even they only claim 33% of users actually quit after completing the program.

you do mention a couple things I hadn't considered or heard of before.

> The company I work at has a smoking-cessation VR app

This sounds very intriguing! Could you possibly provide some references and/or the name of your company? (I don't smoke but I'd love to understand better how this works.)

More generally, how do you stay on top of what's happening in VR tech & applications? I'm asking because I've clearly been missing out on some significant developments.
It should be very clear IMHO; they have nothing, if they caught the group with "a bunch of hunting weapons and ammunition" then they can arrest them for that and that'd be a lot more serious ground for the argument of "intent to commit terrorist acts".

Since it seems they don't have anything, they are criminalizing normal tools and dev tools because your average reader/citizen doesn't know the difference between a hacker and a cracker, let alone the right of privacy vs conspiring. The only nice thing IMHO is that everyone uses Whatsapp and no one considers it "criminal", so by bundling Signal etc together with Whatsapp they are making themselves look like they are exaggerating for the average person.
There's no evidence I'm aware of that supports the notion that we are capable, as a species, of weathering the social and psychological effects of the modern communications era and a growing body of evidence that suggest we aren't. Given human psychology around in-group dynamics it seems likely we never will be on anything other than evolutionary time scales.

It's possible to gather some information from a directory to which an attacker has write access, though I'd have to look up details.

In general, this can usually be mitigated to some extent by creating a directory to which only the owner has access.

There are a number of ... interesting ... other circumstances which you might want to consider:

- /tmp is mounted as a ramdisk / memory-only filesystem. This is guaranteed not to persist over reboots, though there may be residual artefacts in memory even after a power-off. That last isn't a significant concern for many people, though it may turn up for others.

- /tmp is a network share. This is uncommon, but NFS + sudo across shared systems means that a user on a remote system may be able to assume your credentials and access or modify your data. rootsquash means that root isn't available, but sudo means that any UID can be defined.

- Various filesystem permissions or limitations may or may not apply to /tmp. I tend to prefer mounting /tmp as its own filesystem, with nodev and nosuid set. There might also be noexec, which can foul up a lot of temporary installation scripts.

An alternative is for users to define their own preferred temporary directory. I usually include ~/tmp under $HOME.

Imagine being terrified that your app will become popular. If Apple decides to copy you, that story alone would be worth it.
I never used Proxmox, so after having read great comments about it tried to install it on a couple small mini PCs I had around just to test some functionalities, but every time it failed. If memory serves (was like 1-2 months ago) on both machines the installer complained it couldn't find the partition to install. Both machines would install and run other Linux distros flawlessly. No idea how to solve that problem.
It's actually quite simple for me. I typically don't get any satisfaction from starting and completing tasks I am avoiding. Crossing them off doesn't excite me - not in the least - regardless of all the motivational and time-management pseudoscience around. They simply make me tired and leave me with a feeling that I had wasted my time.

It doesn't help either that such tasks are often chores or some kind of bureaucratic bs meaning they are basically in infinite supply. Once you finished with one there will be another one moved unconsiously from "would be nice to do" to "I should be doing this" category.
People like you are a problem.
>Why would volunteering to fight them ever be seen in a bad light?

In part, because the YPG is seen by the french state as a terrorist group, for various political reasons, and also because having leftists trained in handling weapons is seemingly more terrifying to the government than having neonazis trained in handling weapons. Make of that what you will.
Just do a manual calendar with lot of spaces to write on for notes and a timer app on your computer to turn on or off when your working. Someone even made a physical device to turn on or off the timer via bluetooth so he wont forget to turn it off when something suddenly interrupts him. The timer also needs to turn off by itself in a predetermined time and you need to manually turn it on so it wont run when you suddenly fall asleep.
The kiddy maps my kids had were using mercator projection. And I am pretty solid that it was because that is "the right shape of the world". The map was not meant for navigation, it was meant to display funny pictures about countries and maybe teach the kid countries exists if kid bothers. It was made by an artist after all, not by cartographer.
It's better than liability for service providers.

If you're a service provider, you don't have to listen to a DMCA request; just the safe harbor the DMCA gives you evaporates and you're on your own (like service providers were before the DMCA).

I agree it would be good for the DMCA to be strengthened against abuse like this, but it's better for everyone than if we didn't have it.

this is an interesting analysis. at the end of the day, i actually agree mostly with the rankings, but i don't think it's a fair way to arrive there. two thoughts:

1. the column in the table which attempts to normalize suffering. It (actually all of the columns) are wildly subjective. I don't think it's right at all. Beef cows do not suffer less than milk. Nor do porkers suffer more. But really it's all wildly subjective.

2. trying to reduce a "problem" like suffering of farmed animals to a trade-study matrix construct is probably as injust and inhumane as as anything else i've seen. i don't think it's OK to eat beef because a cow is .9 one the sentience, but 2 on suffering, but provides a lot of pounds of meat.

if you eat meat, and i certainly do, you should do it without guilt and without half-hearted rationalizations like this. we are all animals and have our place in the food chain. loving other animals and treating them well is not orthogonal to raising them caringly and kindly and then eventually humanely culling and eating them. if you are a grown-up, adult human, you can deal with that squarely and honestly. if you were a blade of grass would that cow think for two seconds about munching on you? it doesn't make the cow evil. Life is life and yours ain't worth more than grass just "because".

and if the problem you have is the way they are farmed then that's the problem, not the eating of said meat. and by the way, the idea that they way they are farmed is "inhumane" is more to do about misunderstanding the nature of farming and animals, anthropomorphization and dis-ingenuousness than it is reality in a overwhelming majority of cases.

trying to justify it like this is seems it might even be more of a strawman in bad faith.

I just started my first Go tutorials this week. One of them was go.dev's Writing Web Applications [0]. I was actually struck by the lack of boilerplate (compared to frameworks I've used in Java/Python/etc.) involved.
