I hear you, but the press release explicitly said that the goal of the bill is to prevent companies from attracting customers with a misleadingly low price and then charging a higher price. How are government fees and taxes -- especially industry-specific government fees that consumers may not be aware of -- not the exact thing that this bill stands against?

If anything, this just encourages lobbying and corruption. If you have a restaurant, you can't just covertly charge a 5% worker benefit fee. But you could if you're part of a restaurant lobby that turns that 5% worker benefit fee into a 5% restaurant tax that benefits restaurant workers!

Independent of the bill's goal, I also think that seeing all govt fees and taxes upfront might be a useful exercise in California and elsewhere. When fees are hidden, people forget about them and don't evaluate them. But if they are front and center, then that would hopefully make politicians more accountable. For example, the California train project has spent something like $10b so far and there's nothing to really show for it. And that money came from somewhere, but it's easy to forget about that if you're not reminded constantly. But if every driver in California paid $1 extra on every gas bill for the last 20 years for a "train tax" that was on the receipt, then maybe people would hold their government more accountable. (This is an apolitical comment: caring more can mean cancelling the train project, or funding it 3x more. Whatever constituents think is best.)
"Everyone knows" is indeed US-centric in this case, but when we are talking about the state of things where it relates to a US state's law, the US-centric view is entirely fine and should be expected.

If we were talking about, say, a French law, I would expect the default assumption to be French standards and customs.
And western European one have e-ink price tags. And one time there was wrong item on a tag. So I asked the person filling the shelf for help. He read the tag and item and behold in 5 minutes it updated itself to correct item and price...

It's Not Your Imagination. Summers Are Getting Hotter
The increase is consistent with what climate scientists have warned for decades: A seemingly small change in global average temperature (so far, about 1.2 degrees Celsius of warming since pre-industrial times) can lead to big changes in extreme heat.

Hotter summers also make the effects of global warming harder for the public to ignore, Dr. Hansen said via email. “People notice the extremes,” he wrote.

Dr. Hansen’s temperature curves also flatten out over time, as they move rightward, toward higher heat. Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth, said this largely reflects that some parts of the world are warming faster than others.

Overall, Dr. Hausfather said, the data provides “a good visualization of how when we focus just on the global average, we’re missing a lot of what’s happening.”

This is a good point. When I go to a coffee shop and order a latte I am buying a latte and the appreciation of the person that makes it. If they think I’m a dick it renders my coffee undrinkable and the comfort in knowing that I’m liked should be free.
> The reason I think listing taxes separately is OK is because (a) it is not something that the business itself has any choice over and (b) all businesses have to tax the same for equivalent services.

(a) is really just like the price of basically all of utilities, and all the indirect taxes paid on salaries... the only difference is that they are not directly calculated on turnover. Should we also break that out?
(b) is actually an argument in favour of integrating the taxes in the prices : there's no difference between businesses, thus no need to bother the consumers with it -- in the end, they will pay something that includes the taxes, wherever they go.

> I'd be OK with listing taxes up front (but I will say that restaurants I've been to always highlight any mandatory fees besides normal sales tax on the menu) but I'm absolutely in favor of breaking out the cost of government services on the bill.

You mean like basically everywhere in the world where your receipt does show "of which VAT rate A% : X, rate B% : Y, Special Tax: Z" ?
I know no one who finds this baffling, or irritating. Oddly, only on HN do I ever see anyone(rarely!) express this.

Beyond that, it's fully expected, is simple to deal with, it's solved as it is. There's nothing to do here. Nothing to fix.
Thank you for the detailed response! This is way more than I expected :-)
Anyone know 80% of what? Is that by SKUs, sold or produced device volumes, parts of products, turnover, ...?
The good thing is that prices (in stores) are set in the store. The labels are most likely little e-ink displays. There's absolutely no reason to not show the final price there aside from wanting the advertised price to be lower than it actually is.

The same chocolate might have a different price depending on the store I go to as well and that doesn't seem to be a problem at all.
Strong agree.

But I mostly just buy FLACs now, so ...
> Bait and switch is one symptom of the issue that the price is not what you'll pay.

Disagreed as well. With Taxes, literally 100% of all items have the same convention that is not "bait and switch".

If you "just have a binary" then you aren't compiling from source, which means you can't make modifications to that binary easily, which Debian wants to be able to do to fix security issues and other bugs.

There is a large range of documentation, everything from the simple to the more advanced to different packaging niches. The large amount of docs makes that harder to navigate though, and a lot of stuff is moving towards automated packaging these days anyway.

In general the legal mandatory insurance is to cover damage you cause to other cars.

But many people have insurance for their vehicles to cover damage done where the culprit is uninsured, under insured, or simply can’t be found. Third party insurance leaves you out of pocket in those cases, and even if you do find the culprit if they have no assets either you can’t even use a lawsuit to reclaim the damages.
It looks like this passed along party lines. What's the "pro hidden fees" stance exactly?
OK a lot of pieces just dropped in the place with your explanation. I’ve never heard it said so compactly before.
This is a hard general problem -- in the end most people just can't/won't contribute. A lot of really "successful" open source is funded by large companies.

That said, maybe consider doing the best you can to encourage people to work on the issues that come up -- if an issue comes up, prep as much context as you can and hand it to the person if they're capable of committing code. And then, help people with their PRs once they have something up.

Also do things like post about your project in places Java places might look, or going into "Java weekly" style newsletters (they often have a "call for participation" at the bottom).

Oh and don't forget things like Hacktober (https://hacktoberfest.com/)

Good luck out there! Make sure to take care of yourself -- delivering value for free is not something many people do (thanks for even trying!), but doing it sustainably is harder than it looks, much better for the world long term to have people like you not burn out, even if a feature ships 6 months later (or never at all).

I tried weed once a few years ago and took a bit too much as well. When the euphoria hit, I realized I had never felt that good in my entire life and I became scared of the idea that I would lose control. My thoughts also sped up and I would get into these metacognitive/self-analytical loops. I'd start thinking about something and before I could finish I'd have another thought analyzing what I had just thought, and so on. And I experienced the loss of filter. At the time, I was with a friend in his basement and we were surrounded by his mom's amateur paintings. I've never been an art person but I remember looking at one of her paintings and talking nonstop about all the different visual details that kept popping out at me.

I didn't have as complete as loss of inhibition as you described however. The friend I was with wasn't someone I completely trusted - many of my thoughts I decided not to share. Still, I think the experience was valuable and I'm glad I tried it. Although, in retrospect any self-insight I gained I don't think I truly took to heart, as it didn't lead to any meaningful behavioral change. It's only been two days, but I wonder what kind of long term changes you will see. Has the loss of filter persisted in any way or did it wear off when you came down?

Either way, your story, outside of being well written and incredibly personable, gives me hope for my own healing. I'd love to connect and hear more about where your experience takes you, especially if you end up trying cannabis assisted therapy. I'm planning on trying psychedelic assisted therapy at some point so it would be cool to have someone to discuss with. My email is in my profile if you're interested.

Best sporting events in Canada, biggest cultural events, the target for most Canadian musicians so you end up with both all the major touring acts as well and tons of smaller local shows every night.

That only makes sense for an online store that's going to ship you something, in which case asking for the destination ZIP code up front solves that problem.

For brick-and-mortar stores, the store can quite easily calculate the final price of an item on its own. Sales taxes do change on occasion, but likely less often than the pricing of the items themselves do, so there's no added burden in having to update them due to tax changes.

> the tip is included by default in the restaurant price. So now your choices are - add additional tip if you’re really satisfied with your service, or retract the default tip if you’ve been wronged in some way.

What's the default tip, that is to say, what's the max you are allowed to retract? Is it the same everywhere or does the default vary by restaurant? I could see the appeal to laziness resulting in more consistent tipping, but also lower tips for exceptional/attractive/flirty waitstaff.

Ultimately, I'd much rather do away with tipping entirely. I grew up never questioning it until I spent some time in places where tipping just wasn't a thing, and I've resented it ever since.
Sounds like you need to share the night shift. It isn't sustainable to work all day and have every night's sleep ruined like that. It'll get better as the baby sleeps longer and longer, but chances are that you'll get burned out before that unless you get to sleep better.
We had separate beds so one of us could sleep undisturbed every night.

EKS clusters is a good one. A cluster starting at Kubernetes 1.28 will be in a wildly different state to one upgraded from Kubernetes 1.17 and upgraded through every version. More has come under management scope since 1.17, but even today the add-on model doesn’t cover lots of important aspects.

S3 buckets are another - it’s no longer even possible to create some types of buckets that exist in the wild today, thanks to changes in how canned ACLs may be provisioned. Older buckets have their access rules unchanged however.

These are two super common resources in the biggest cloud. I’m sure if I went digging in Azure or GCP I could find dozens of non-trivial cases of this that actually make a difference - database-as-a-service offers are likely a target-rich environment for this.

I have literally never seen e-ink price labels in a store in the US. I'm sure they exist, but I would bet are present in fewer than 1% of stores here.
A bit off-topic: why does Blackmagic keep Davinci Resolve free? Is it a case of commoditizing your compliment because they sell hardware?
Like I said, you can have a debate about how taxes are displayed on a price list. I respectfully disagree on solely including them in the price and making them "hidden". Calling them out is a good reminder of exactly how much you are paying for government services.

For example, the one common tax in the US that is hidden in the price is tax on gasoline. I think it would be better to specifically call this out, especially since gas taxes can vary so much by jurisdiction. I mean, pretty much all adults where I live know our sales tax rate is 8.25%, but I have actually no clue what my per-gallon tax on gas is.
Only the state sales tax is 0%, local sales tax doesn't have to be. So YMMV, which is kinda the whole point - that it shouldn't.

Technical tl;dr:

The DS record was cached for 24 hours but the DNSKEY record was cached for 1 hour.
The DS and DNSKEY records were rotated due to an annual rotation of the signing key.
The (cached) old DS record referenced the old DNSKEY. This inconsistency invalidated records for resolvers which validated dnssec records (85% of New Zealanders users, mostly through their ISPs’ resolvers.)

Procedural tl;dr:
Management was not informed of the incident until the next day.
DNS operators were not made aware of the rotation of the KSK (key signing key) so the problem by outside operators was difficult to theorise.
It’s because infrastructure largely does not have the concept of versioning, and branching infrastructure just makes no sense.
Agree it has its usefulness.

Job interviews with pen and paper are hardly a selling point for me, I had one 10years ago and still dreaded it. My 2 cents are, if a company hires you to work on a computer in X environment then that's what they should test you on - or as close to it as they can.

There's a solid opportunity for a good free video editor for hobbyists and creators, who might not want to spend any money just yet. If you get these users on your software, you're much more likely to convert a sale.

The free version of Resolve is still limited for more serious / professional applications; e.g. not making use of hardware acceleration, not having certain effects, and not processing certain professional workflow codecs.

With this strategy, Resolve is essentially the "go-to" for newbies into video editing.

What's so great about Resolve licensing is their lifetime license. Pay $295 once, get it forever. For commercial productions, Blackmagic gets their $$$$$ from their cameras, physical control panels and hardware, etc. These, again range from good value (for entry and mid level) to expensive.

The design is definitely opinionated.

A long term plan I do have is to have users be able to customise their 'gardens' to whatever their own community's vibe is. Perhaps a 'moonscape', a 'wasteland', etc. They could possibly even design their own primitives to match, moving away from flowers to something else.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave me your thoughts, jp57!

> allowing for reforestation that would [...] sequester as much carbon as we've released since the Industrial Revolution.

That's a common mistake. It won't. Plants sequester carbon only while they are alive. When they die, the carbon returns to the atmosphere. A forest, even with that size won't make a significant impact on carbon stored compared to how much oil and coal we burned. The only solution would be to re-create the carbon deposits, but that can't happen anymore.

Yeah, we have separate beds - she sleeps in what was our room, I sleep on the couch, so I don’t disturb her when I get up to tend to the bairn.

She, I feel reasonably, points out that it was not me that spent 10 months being pregnant with our child - and she sleeps extremely soundly, to the extent that she will sleep straight through screaming and crying more often than not, which means I have to be on alert, as I never do much more than a shallow, nightmare-filled doze.

To be honest, it’s not much different to the worst periods of technical hell for my startup back in the day, when I would be yanked out of bed repeatedly to deal with Situations while being yelled at by clients.

Now my client is eight months old, and is actually considerably more patient than many of the adults I used to deal with.
It's way better! I want to be able to comparison shop: now I can judge Hotel A (advertised @ $200) and Hotel B ($179) on the same basis, without trying to guess which of them will be adding on what additional (un-advertised, and - so far as I can tell - unknowable until check-in) fees.

Whenever-ago it was hotels started doing that the extra fees were fairly nominal, and it was easy to shrug at them. Last year my wife and I stayed at a hotel (thankfully paid for by her work) with a $50 per-person/night "resort fee". In the event, neither of us used those amenities (though yes, we still had to pay: I asked), so that's not what that fee was _really_ about. It's entirely an obfuscation.

This bill adds nothing to the state budget. Allowing price discovery (and therefore free markets) to work, is what regulation should do, even under a fairly libertarian theory of government. It's certainly worthy of legislative time.
My understanding is the violation happens when you share the binary without the license and sources, or information on how to request the sources.

What do you mean "impossible" If waiter or cashier calculates final price when you pay, it must be possible to calculate it upfront. Im not aware of situations where final price would depend on the purchaser. That would be discrimination.
