> I think we need to give up on fighting this fight. The thousands upon thousands of job postings with that job title clearly indicate otherwise.

As soon as I had a recruiter ask me "why are you looking to write software if you're DevOps?" incredulously on the phone I knew that there was no coming back from this. The fact that somebody whose literal job it is to have a good grasp of the technical labor market thinks that somebody can "be DevOps" (just because they have Kubernetes on their resume... never mind the slew of languages and frameworks) and that being such is orthogonal to software development is an unfortunate state of affairs.

Of course. There are some very off-road capable EVs (check out Rivian) but they are pricey.

Lower prices requires scaling up mass production of batteries and cars which is what is happening. Gas cars have had a century of mass production economies of scale to reach their current production efficiency.

And generally cars do not come used and depreciated from the factory, so that market will develop over time.

As will charging infrastructure, which is expanding rapidly through lot of public and private investment over the next few years.
And if the article had been presented like your post, I think we'd all think that's great!

State the known facts, then describe the information provided by extremely biased and known-dishonest interested parties, with the context of their personal biases.

But front-loading it with reverse-passive voice gives credulence to parties who did not deserve it. IDF officials are extremely dishonest, but Palestinian government ones are not better.

The NYT headline was "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinian Officials Say." which puts the dubious source after the claims. That could've been phrased "Explosion Kills Hundreds in Gaza Hospital, Palestinian Officials blame Israeli Strike". Slightly longer but would put the facts separate from the claims.

Meanwhile, the Politico headline (which came out slightly later after the Israeli statement had been released):

"Blast kills hundreds at Gaza hospital; Hamas and Israel trade blame"

At any rate, your comment is a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. Even if where I get my idea of it is off course from yours, you immediately become seemingly quite offended and start arguing your point in depth on trying to change what I understand as being a pretty global understanding of a word. You even kind of argue at the end that it is common usage.

"Notability" is a weapon used by many editors to get rid of entries that go against their views. I've seen it used to keep off pages for highly-selling authors who hold contrary views to certain viewpoints even though they are better-known and more highly cited than authors who advocate to those certain viewpoints who get to keep their pages. No one should be able to gatekeep in this way, and there should not be anyone who can claim a page and make it theirs, keeping off any and all edits or challenges by others.
Penis spaceships. Those cost a lot of money.

I don’t know of any perfect system, the ones I’ve studied historically always have something. Many modern day systems proclaim to be of the people and for the people but you still end up with this an ultra rich senators or Stalin and starvation and plump nomenklatura political class. Over simplification I know but point is there are always abuses. It sounds nice to say “no one needs this much, let’s give it to the poor” but even there is mass corruption. Remember all those life changing billions donated to Haiti with their last big earthquake? Much of it went poof in fees and siphoning and Haiti is unchanged.

I also think it’s easy to emotionally manipulate people into a frenzy “bezos has stolen from us, let’s get our pitchforks and seize his manor” and I feel it too as I scrolled and scrolled.

Mind you, I really don’t like bezos and his phallic space machine or his absurd mega yachts that he frivolously wastes resources to disassemble national monument bridges to get out of the shipping docks in Europe. That said, I also don’t have a right to his money. As it was once said “but the poor you will always have with you.” I focus more on treating them in my here and now than fantasies about pitchforks.

Defamation of a public figure requires knowing that the statement was false, or reckless negligence of the truth.

Defamation of a non-public figure requires negligence of the truth.

Assuming the cop can be considered a non-public figure they would need to prove that the statement was made without a lot of consideration for the truth.

Given there is nuance here as to the details of the case it is going to be hard to win a defamation case here.

A layperson misunderstanding the difference between a court order and a conviction likely isn't enough to justify damages.

> It's something critically missing from Chrome

Adding Containers to Chrome would be largely pointless - because Google anyway has access to everything. It's like adding a VPN to Android and then still using Map and everything while logged with your Google a/c. Chrome by design has no privacy.

I know many of us (if not all) are already aware of this (or something on this lines) but this is important to make this distinction when talking about Firefox and Chrome in one breath.

Comparing Chrome and Firefox when it comes to privacy is apples and oranges. I know you were not directly doing that but I still thought it is important to be noted.
That came from the IDF, so I'm discounting it.

EDIT: To be clear, I think the leaked call was authentic, but I don't think it's persuasive evidence because of its provenance. I fully think PIJ did this in support of Hamas, and then immediately blamed Israel to an enchanted Western press who can't see past an oppressor-oppressed narrative structure. But all of this is my opinion and not verifiable fact.
This piece is pretty sensationalist but obviously there's some wrongs being done. I wish they'd be more specific about "devices" being mobile phones or desktop/laptops....

And then it's like, what do you expect? You're giving them your device with full access to troubleshoot problems, they're going to look around in the process. And in many cases of course there's some kind of NDA 'assumed'. The copying instances and what not are violations no question, but again, you're giving them full access.
I'm not sure a good chunk of the 'my device needs fixing' public cares about this. As long as their device gets fixed and stuff isn't obviously, like, shared out.

Inertia. Fox kind of made fun of itself from a pretty early stage with 'fair and balanced' when they were never even pretending to be such. The NYTimes was an excellent, and at least reasonably impartial, paper for many decades. So, many people still look at them as the same as they were decades ago, even though a remotely objective look can tell you they've also long since jumped the shark, hard.

I think there's also the practical problem that there really isn't any good media anymore. It's not like I can say 'well the NYTimes sucks - go to [blah]'. There was an absolutely excellent article by Bob Kaiser (editor at WaPo for decades) - The Bad News About the News. [1] I'm really remiss to give cliff notes because the article covers so much and so eloquently, but in general - the internet has played a major role in destroying the overall quality of news.

If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works.

I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable form for individuals. I’m not sure if pure accounting concepts are ideal for the average person for keeping track of their budget like how they are essential for businesses. My bias says yes, but perhaps a greater amount could be handled in the background to present a more intuitive interaction for those unfamiliar with accounting concepts. Currently, I prefer using ledger[2] to GnuCash, but I appreciate that both exist.

Either their circulation models include an epidemiology module, or they are suggesting the (extraordinary and worthy of separate publication) finding that climate change may continue to occur in the future...?
This seems to establish precedent that unpaid wages by a bankrupt company, even in the absence of serious misconduct, are sufficient justification for veil piercing:

> The case therefore would up presenting a clear question of law: Where the workers are employed by a corporation, can an individual be held liable for penalties associated with statutory violations in the payment of wages where there was no allegation or finding that the corporate laws had been misused or abused for a wrongful or inequitable purpose? In other words, do sections 558 and 1197.1 allow workers to recover civil penalties for nonpayment of wages from individuals even when there are no other grounds for piercing the corporate veil under the doctrine of alter ego?

> The court of appeal concluded that under the clear language of sections 558 and 1197.1, the State of California, through the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (“LWDA”), can recover penalties associated with unpaid wages from individuals. Furthermore, PAGA allows employees to stand in the shoes of the LWDA and recover those penalties. Accordingly, employees are also permitted to recover those penalties from individuals.

https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2018...

The only ambiguity to me in reading this is whether the court considered it different because the wages went unpaid for a while before bankruptcy.

It would be nice if medical residents would unionize and force hospitals to stop using long hours (sometimes 24 hour or longer shifts) to haze them with sleep deprivation. This sleep deprivation results in medical errors that injure/kill patients, and also mades medical residents more likely to have car crashes when driving home after their shift.

> How does that not make sense. That’s what it is.

No, its not.

Nonprofits can retain unlimited surplus income. They are called nonprofit or not-for-profit because they don't return profits (either directly or through a claim on assets) to some set lf stakeholders.

The upthread post invented a false rule based on a wrong (if popular) interpretation of a name, and then invented a conspiracy theory about people gaming that rule which doesn't exist in the first place.

The eye opener for me was in the mid-late aughts. A coworker for whatever reason did a deep dive into the world's knowledge of GI Joe lore. Before that I wouldn't have even considered there *was* lore that was that well fleshed out. And before Wikipedia I assume that knowledge was known by only a small handful of supernerds. And yet, some random person went down the wikipedia rabbit hole for a few hours and knew everything.

> Hope that we reign in spending in a drastic, unprecedented way (without impacting revenue as well...)?

American politicians, deliberately or out of incompetence, use the crisis of the moment and conveniently forego this topic.

I’m convinced the next US administration HAS to do something about this. I don’t see a way that doesn’t involve both spending cuts and raising taxes.

I don’t like discussing politics on HN, but I think this should be deeply concerning for anyone interested in start ups, technology, or innovation. All of our innovation is enabled by having a somewhat functioning democracy, courts, cops, civic culture, where people have the opportunity to critically think about hard problems and innovate, because they’re not worried so much about near term survival.

> Anyway, I mostly get my news from twitter nowadays. At least there, I find it a bit easier to make sense of who is misleading me and why.

How does that make it easier to make sense of who is misleading you? Don't people on twitter have a source whose bias is unknown to you? It would be difficult to only read first person accounts of events by sources you discovered yourself. Not to mention knowing enough about those first person reporters to understand if they are misleading you or not. And if you're relying on other people (or an algorithm) to provide you sources, it feels like you'd just be adding another layer of people who can mislead you.
I am not able to download it on Firefox - Linux. Is it Windows/Mac only?
True, (sorry friends sometimes tell me I sound like I’m aggressively agreeing with them - it’s something I’m trying to improve on) the long period to take effect and evaluate if combos are “working” make it really difficult to understand if a drug or something else is fixing anything.

The main interesting thing about ketamine was that there were some anecdotes that the effects were very rapid - and that should be at least something to make it easier to assess a change. But maybe harder to separate placebo.
It still works like it used to, there’s just a requirement of having made ten edits first before you’re allowed to. That’s a fairly low bar, and it gets rid of a ton of spam that used to be created.

The problem is that there's no hard evidence to support what he's saying. It's just a bunch of circumstance that sounds damning at first, "oh a novel virus emerges near a lab that studies novel virus", but then you consider, maybe the lab studying these novel viruses was put in a location where novel viruses commonly occur.

There's no Center for Oceanic Studies in Nebraska, but there is a Center for Great Plains Studies.
