It would be extremely surprising for a study commissioned by a government, performed by scientists paid by that government to draw a conclusion that would disagree with the government’s position on the topic. Especially when the topic is highly politicized.

> "God made Man in His image"

If you read the bible, in particular the old testament, you'll realize that "Man made God in His image". A flawed God that is insecure, jealous, spiteful, greedy, genocidal, vicious, etc like the men who wrote the bible. After all, Man is the author of God.

It basically costs nothing and it's a huge advantage for a country to be the dominant sink for international talent migration. Most countries have net brain drain where their smartest people leave... to go to the US. That the US has the opposite problem is really a trivial issue to complain about, and anyone invested in its success should want the imbalance to continue.

And frankly if you're an American high-skilled worker who is concerned about foreign talent "replacing" you (an absurd idea in a labor market where demand continues to outpace supply, and will continue to do so as long as technology advances), then are you actually as highly skilled as you think you are? If you're being outcompeted by foreign talent then you need to "get good" - it's a skill issue.

The argument for foreign workers replacing domestic workers in unskilled jobs makes more sense, because the demand is for commoditized labor and there's negligible difference between employees beyond how little they're willing to be paid. But for high skilled work, by definition, it's your skills that should differentiate you. If they don't, then that's your problem to solve. It shouldn't be up to the rest of society to lower the floor of high-skilled work to accommodate your lack of skill.
Ask HN: At what age did your cognition start to decline?
I'm 46 and I feel as tho I'm in a fog most of the day. I'm struggling to learn the latest tech, which used to be my passion. I didn't feel this way 1 to 2 years ago.

Is this par for the course? What's your experience, old timers?
I don't really know how to state it more clearly.

The appeal of a worker-owned coop is the fact that the workers in aggregate have complete control. Relinquishing 20% of that by default, and one might surmise 25% due to the installed president, runs contrary to the purpose of a worker-owned cooperative.

And that's where things are unclear. That 25% can mean a lot of things. Is it simple tribute, or rent-seeking, which WOCs seek to dismantle? Does Teamshares vote with that? What sort of contracts exist to subordinate the companies to Teamshares?

How are the shares traded? Does/can the employee sell them back to Teamshares? Can they sell them to Yum! Brands? If so they're selling current and future employees' agency. If they can only be exchanged between the worker and the company - that would be more closely aligned with the idea of WOCs.

I just don't think it's fair to really draw the comparison without being completely transparent about how it works. However, I do like the idea and have an appreciation for what Teamshares is attempting to do, but I think they should seal the deal and completely abdicate if they're going to front like they're facilitating the development of WOCs.

If you want my unsolicited 2 cents to help speed up (if you care!)

1. put your fingers on home row keys with pointer fingers feeling the bumps on F and J

2. DONT move your wrists all around, try to keep them still and let your fingers do all the work. try to keep your entire palms as still as possible, they really shouldnt move. I rest mine on my laptop surface.

3. dont look at the keys. use https://www.typing.com to help you if you cant do that

4. relax your hands as much as possible

Typing.com is better IMO if you don't know how to type fast, and monkeytype.com is way more fun when you do (the interface is just way more fun)

My point was intended to be with regard to code specifically, I don't dispute that typing speed is beneficial for other communication. My recent coding experiences have been much closer to your last paragraph than your first (talking to peers about technical things has often been via audio).
The question you should be asking is how much is actually going to the homeless. A homelessness "tribunal" or whatever has a financial interest is keeping just enough homelessness around to keep their jobs. This isn't uncommon with other government projects and anyone who has been a contractor can attest to that. If they got homelessness to some absurdly low number surely the state would start to cut jobs.

I would imagine applying Occam's Razor here would show that there's likely a significant amount of corruption in a program designed to solve something like homelessness. It's JUST vague enough that you can manufacture all sorts of reasons to keep the federal dollars flowing in.

But, it's unreasonable that you stick to the lowest common denominator if you're going to be using your own setup 99% of the time.

I'd say a bigger disadvantage to non-traditional setups (trackballs, non-qwerty, small keyboards, etc.) is "others won't be able to use your stuff".

> However, any driver which makes use of Linux-kernel-specific interfaces, which are not found in other OSs (even in other Unix-like kernels) are, pretty much by definition, a "work based on the program" of the kernel and therefore must be licensed similarly

GPLv2 defines a "work based on the program" thusly: "a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language"

To be a derivative work of another work under US copyright law the work must contain sufficient copyrightable elements copied from that other work to require permission from the owner of that other work's copyright owner.

If all you've copied is a few function names and data structure layouts in order to call those functions that seems unlikely to be enough to make your work a derivative work. It doesn't really matter whether or not those functions do things found in many other works or just one, because you aren't copying the functions themselves.

Linking GPL and proprietary software together is not forbidden by the GPL. If you do so though GPL imposes requirements on you if you distribute the result, and those requirements will likely be impossible to meet.

If you are just linking the GPL and proprietary software for you own use GPL does not care.

I read the rules like you wrote it here too, it is same thing, and I understand that. Nevertheless, it does not answer all of the questions (e.g. pawns promotion). From the example, it seems to not be check/mate, but I that short explanation won't explain everything. Capture all pieces? Do you mean capture the black pieces only? You cannot capture the white pieces, isn't it (otherwise there won't be any to capture it)? Is the code I wrote, the correct rules of the game?

I like this term, engildification.
So lets say I am a retailer.

I don't own the product (have a relationship with the person ultimately setting the pass through charges) and I sell the subscriptions to the end user for access.

Unless those passthrough charges are made available to me before the customer signs up, I cannot reasonably estimate them when advertising the service. Instead, I can only pass them through when they appear on my invoice, or absorb them. In fact those are the 3 options here. Pull out of the market, pass the costs through (and attract fines) or absorb the pass through fees.

Punishing me as the access provider doesn't make sense. Whether or not you have personal misgivings against the access carrier, it seems like the municipality setting the pass through charges should be asked to make them more consistent, or provide an API for lookup.

I dont know what the response here is going to be from the retailers, but I am betting its not going to be pro consumer.

> When assessed individually, there was positive – if limited – evidence of transmission reduction from many of the NPIs used in the pandemic, the review found. However, evidence of a positive effect was clear when countries used combinations of NPIs.

Is there good proof that interventions did anything besides maybe slow the virus down? The virus mutated despite mitigations (perhaps a good thing), people were still dying by the hundreds per day after the vaccine came out (in the U.S.), the whole world caught omicron (even communist China had to give up lockdowns), and word is the new variant evades prior immunity (but isn't more virulent).

Would we have ended up in pretty much the same place without all the imperfect mandates and lockdowns?

I recall just the other month when there was much bemoaning and gnashing of teeth about how former reddit people were showing up here in more significant numbers than the general trickle previously and the comments along the line responding to new users leaving 'lol' as the entirety of the comment "this is not Reddit - comments and contributions are expected to be significant or constructive."

Videos as a medium are also incentivized to reach certain lengths so they can inject ads into otherwise boring and mundane topics.

As an example, try to look up on YouTube how to replace your car fob’s battery (doesn’t matter what brand) and you will absolutely encounter an 8-10 minute video offered up for what’s probably a 15 second value and something the manufacturer could have provided in a decent 3 panel illustration hosted on a static .html page, but won’t.
Exactly. So we have to choose: trust everything reasonably mainstream with the hope that someone is watching it, or stop functioning.

I do not accept Comcast’s response. Nor do I accept your justification.

Comcast has alll the data it needs to produce an accurate bill and is free to price its service in a manner that hides municipal fees if it chooses. Or not and it can advertise low rates and break the fees out.

Comcast wants to make a profit out of lack of transparency and leverage that lack of transparency in marketing against competitors, public and private.
> 4 vacant apartments for every homeless person in San Francisco, including those in shelters

Source? (Curious for their definition of vacancy.)

A cursory glance shows many of those homes are being renovated or sold [1]. The pied-à-terre / vacancy tax isn’t a terrible idea, but it’s a band-aid on a missing limb. (Though further penalising housing development seems like a very San Francisco way to compound the problem.)

> I’m in software, like a lot of people here, so being able to type in speed is rarely the limiting factor

I think of typing speed in coding the same way I think of cardio in boxing – it won’t win you the round, but the lack of it can easily lose you the round.

You want topping to feel seamless and reliable. Whatever you think should come out on the keyboard reliably and without friction. Any time you have to stop and think about typing or go back to check for typos, is time you’re losing focus and flow.

Take an extreme example – search-and-peck typing where every character takes 2 seconds. Can you really hold a complex programming context sharp in your mind while it takes a minute to type a few instructions? I sure couldn’t.

But you probably also can’t think fast enough to fill a 200wpm typing buffer.

Somewhere in between those extremes lies the sweet spot where your typing speed and your thinking speed match.

This is not true, and not YOLO, either.

You have four separate businesses (at least): a bank, an airline, a hotel, and booking agency.

There's no way that some random booking agency is getting an XA transaction (or other distributed transaction protocol) implemented between the disparate systems it is orchestrating.

It has to maintain conversational state with each of those systems in the domain/model of the exposed APIs of each in order to coordinate a resolution. Even if you could do that with an distributed transaction coordinated between those disparate entities, the possible failure states of each are such that you likely wouldn't want to. For example: go ahead and book the flight and pay for it if you can, but don't rollback the whole thing if the hotel ends up needing to decline for some reason.

These business models exist today as real world systems, and they aren't implemented using distributed transactions.
You could write a pl/pgsql function that does that mapping for you. For example, insert into some_table values (intern(str), …) where intern can insert and return the intern_id from your intern_table. For select statements and joins you could use interned(str) that only does select without insert.
