> healthcare startups that want you to BYO device. For working on PHI.

When I did a gig for Statnett in Norway (the state owned company that owns and manages the high voltage power system) a couple of years ago; they provided a Windows laptop for me even though I was a contractor not an employee. There is no way that they would allow a device out of their control to connect to their network and services! The risks are far too high.

I could use my own more powerful laptop but only as a Citrix client.
I expect that marketing, regulation, and accidents will keep insurance companies around indefinitely. The upside of near perfect information seems great, for the insurance companies. They can ensure that the premiums they charge are higher than the expected payout for 100% of their customers. That won't be so good for the folks who need insurance the most though.
The "little trick" in the Citus approach is very inventive.
SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE mode protects a table against concurrent data changes, and is self-exclusive so that only one session can hold it at a time.
Thus, when such lock is obtained, we can be sure that there are no more pending transactions with uncommited changes. It's a protection from loosing data of the pending transactions.
Throwing the exception immediately releases the lock. Thus, the exclusive table lock is held for milliseconds.
I like the general idea, but I don't want to add plpgsql functions/procedures.
I'll see if this can be elegantly implemented in Java+SQL (without plpgsql) and perhaps add it as alternative approach to my project. Such approach may be even more effective because it focuses on a single table and not on all transactions like the one described in my project, thus, locks on irrelevant tables have no effect on event handlers.
Thanks for sharing.
Are you sure you're an LA native?

Los Alamitos is not in Long Beach. It's not even in the same county. It's in Orange County, and most locals would say they are from Anaheim, aka the home of the world-famous Disneyland.

Especially when you were growing up, Los Alamitos locals would not have said they were from Long Beach, since Long Beach had a huge crime problem back then nobody would have voluntarily associated themselves with that cesspool.
I will accept RTO if I can make a little cave with office plants as my office.
The fact that there's a significant chance that he can get away with totally inept, broad daylight theft of billions of dollars is a major motivation for such crimes.

Millions of Americans aren't afforded such luxuries; they can't afford adequate legal resources, maybe they get manipulated into a bad plea deal. Hence we have a clearly bimodal justice system.
The tech industry's mistake was all collectively setting up shop in a small handful of trendy, dense, expensive cities and not investing in housing, transit, or otherwise doing anything to improve the collective quality of life of those cities.

The repercussion of that mistake is remote work.

I don't think he's wrong on principle - remote work is less dynamic and impactful than physical teams. But it's the "...and it has to be in San Francisco" part that reminds me of how out-of-touch these guys are. Are in-person meetings better? Yes. Are they worth commuting 3 hours every day through a city that hates you? No.
This assumes government schools has everyone's morals and ethics in mind.
@dmitrygr calls “anyone listening to Sam Altman experiment” one of the tech industry’s worst mistakes.
I'd put that way, way down the list behind a bunch of cognitive biases, inability to consider scale or plan for the long term, etc.

Then what are you worried about?
...yes, when you're shooting a professional video you have studio lighting and what not, why would the camera being used change that?

That's like someone filming a movie about aliens with an iPhone, and then criticizing them for using CGI instead of real aliens.

If kids on YouTube and TikTok know they need proper lighting, why do authors at the verge not know this?
This article has some really great stuff in it but I wish the author would cut the flowery bullshit and most importantly stop trying to make the piece about themselves. I do not care about how much YOU cringed, about the "holy fucking shit" you wrote on YOUR notes, etc. So many journalists nowadays think THEY are the story. Stick to the real story, keep yourself out of it.
Same for me on a mac. I only saw this on 118 and haven't seen them again since upgrading to 119.0

They told us what the person below says for a gun -- just give them what they want if it's not your body.

If someone is standing, making threats, blocking your exit, and you've had training, there are techniques to use to disarm them.

I know this because I've done it at least once in the real, and many times in practice before I stopped doing Tang Soo Do.

The key is to keep an eye on their hands/pockets and move in close, get control of the hand, and then either twist until their tendons are gonna snap or... jam their own knife into their leg/side.

It wasn't a smart move, but I had a lot of people block the door and abuse me when younger, so nowadays when someone does it I'm not inclined to de-escalate them one iota.
Sounds like you want your company to provide what your state should provide. American I assume ?
A fundamental business dynamic is that transparently passing on expenses is a low margin behavior, while comping more things for "free" and charging for produced value leads to higher margins. Personally I'd rather workers have higher margins (ie higher pay) while personally choosing how to spend some of that income to fulfill the job requirements, than receiving lower pay while being able to nickle and dime employers for bureaucratically-approved expenses.

Of course it's not like the government really wants to encourage more small businesses that replace W-2 workers at large businesses, given how lopsided the tax code is against W-2 income.
Think of how smart the average person is. Now realize that half the world is _even smarter_. It blows my mind.

The legal right is for all of Tesla's suppliers, service providers, partners, etc are allowed to "sympathy strike". This effectively exiles the company from doing business in the country. Tesla is not a particularly large employer in Sweden and does not seem to be particularly loved.

What they are doing (strikebreaker) is "legal" - but when they are removed from market by the sympathetic population, it will be an obvious outcome.

The surprise is that normally logical employers do not work this way in these countries. However, we've seen that emotional responses are often how Musk's companies operate. I expect it to end poorly for him in this case.

Sweden is not a large market, but events like this contribute to Tesla's reputational decline. The Nordic countries were some of the first and fastest to embrace Tesla. But a brand can be ruined faster than it can be built.
I like how the map shows the lights from drilling platforms out in places like the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea.

If you aren't tracking with identifiable data there's no problem. Tracking contents of a cart is not a problem, nor is how often a product page is hit. Keeping log of when some space is occupied by a person is not a problem, at least if you don't anything else about the person.

There is no daylight between us on any of these points.

My position is not that there aren't good reasons to have not upgraded from a 2015 Mac, or that I'm having trouble imagining what they are, but rather that it's a reasonable question to ask of someone in this specific forum.

> F1 teams have mandated cost caps…

We're not really arguing the point here. OP was not trying to pass an exam about the specific details of how F1 teams operate.
you have so profoundly misinterpreted my comment that I call into question whether you actually read it or not.

One of the best descriptions I've seen on HN is this.

Too many technical people think of the law as executable code and if you can find a gap in it, then you can get away with things on a technicality. That's not how the law works (spirit vs letter).

In truth, lots of things in the world aren't perfectly defined and the law deals with them just fine. One such example is the reasonable person standard.

> As a legal fiction,[3] the "reasonable person" is not an average person or a typical person, leading to great difficulties in applying the concept in some criminal cases, especially in regard to the partial defence of provocation.[7] The standard also holds that each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances.[8][9] While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care, the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself.[10][11] The "reasonable person" construct can be found applied in many areas of the law. The standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law—that is, criminal negligence—and tort law.

> The standard is also used in contract law,[12] to determine contractual intent, or (when there is a duty of care) whether there has been a breach of the standard of care. The intent of a party can be determined by examining the understanding of a reasonable person, after consideration is given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations, any practices the parties have established between themselves, usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties.[13]

> The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual's judgement.

Pay close attention to this piece

> or (when there is a duty of care) whether there has been a breach of the standard of care.

One could argue that because standard of care cannot ever be perfectly defined it cannot be regulated via law. One would be wrong, just as one would be wrong attempting to make that argument for why AI shouldn't be regulated.
I agree, honestly I feel a much better solution to this problem would be to extend the same tax advantages that you allude to when talking about a personal company to W2 employees.

Provision a home office? All of those expenses should be tax deductible.

BYOD? You should be able to expense a portion of the costs.

Pay for internet and power? You should be able to deduct a percentage of costs.

Have a work related meal? Tax deductible.

Drive your car to work? You should be able to deduct your mileage or depreciate your vehicle.

Pay for public transit passes to get to work? Tax deductible.

Etc, etc
As I already answered elsewhere, empathy and justice are not the same thing, and it's a bit irritating that people don't observe separation of concerns principle.
I've been a paying user for a while now and the chat feature has become slower and slower. It takes up to a minute now for it to reply which is too long for a productive back and forth.
My own intuition is that there are people who call bullshit often enough that they are often wrong and falsely accuse others, and there are people who always assume the best intentions and good faith on other actors but often miss being bullshitted, but that overall the accuracy of both groups in sensing and correctly identifying bullshit or non-bullshit is commonly, universally poor, and accurate bullshit-detection is a skill that is held by a minority. And further, that someone like the author who would assess an average person as being good at detecting bullshit is likely the type that thinks everyone is bullshitting all the time (and so is in fact able to evade being bullshitted with some frequency) but also commonly falsely accuses others of bullshitting when the other is operating honestly (not to say the other might not be stupid, or selfish, or naive, or have different values, etc, but not bullshitting). If you accuse everyone of being full of shit all the time, you might avoid signing up for a predatory loan but you'll probably also burn some bridges socially that if you'd known the truth you would have mended.
All it took to get almost a million dollars from a customer of a previous employer was to penetrate the e-mail server, collect a list of high-value accounts and a sample billing statement, then to send an e-mail with "updated" banking credentials for a large payment which was coming due.

Nothing, but Brits had to quit their .eu domains due to Brexit. Which seems reasonable to me. Of course, Brexit wasn't; it was manipulated by the Russians.
>I don't get taking the stand voluntarily to just say "I don't recall" endlessly?

He's taking the stand (which is a risk) because his lawyer asks him questions that are favorable to him. The risk comes in because the prosecutor gets to cross examine the witness, which is where all this recall stuff came from.

Politics and identity politics is kind of like having an accent. If all the people around you have the same accent and you're not very introspective, you might come to think that you don't have an accent.
You're getting a lot of flak about this, but I'm with you. I enjoy aspects of WFH but I would be much happier with a nice office. This is short sighted from my company's manage, I know, but universal WFH has turned out to just lead to universal outsourcing. We don't hire anyone from the US anymore, especially not junior devs. For example, college grads would normally be a good source of cheaper labor you expect to go elsewhere within a few years, but someone in Colombia would be a good source of even cheaper labor you expect to go elsewhere within a few years. And if there's no advantage of the college grad being in-person, why choose them?

It's all very short sighted and also speaks to a lack of internal career development and raises, but if there is one thing you can count on from executives, it's making short sighted decisions that boost numbers for the current quarter.
I think in the short term, you're definitely right. It does not work in your favor if you want remote work in CA. The key issue is this, from the article:

"While the determination of whether an expense is "necessary" varies depending on the circumstances of a particular case, generally speaking, California employees who work from home are likely entitled to reimbursement"

Notice that necessary is in quotes, and the words generally, varies and likely, etc. Basically, none of this is hashed out and business owners have no idea what to pay and when. Expenses can be budgeted around but uncertainty makes this hard. And the risk of a significant surprise charge is real.

I think it's likely many businesses are just going to want to sit this out while the details are all worked out. Once the dust settles they'll do the math and make a decision.

So in the long term, it could be beneficial. In the short term, probably not.

I used to sell copies of pirated games on tapes and 5.25" floppies for the C64 in the 80's in a third world country. Made some good money as a teenager. I predate most people here. It was very hard to get these games in the country. Used snail mail which took weeks. I remember Hotline, Fairlight and many other cracking groups. Trainers at the beginning of the games were cool. Also remember the Freezeframe and Expert cartridges that freeze a games and enable you to save it.

The only case in which ransomware seems actually similar to hostage taking is when a hospital or something is hit. And I think that is actually a morally complicated situation, because lives are actually at risk.

Otherwise ransomware payments are just a collective action problem, paying them builds this harmful ransomware industry, but might be cheaper than losing or restoring your data. Making it costlier to pay the ransomware groups is a great strategy, in the sense that even if it isn’t perfect it might bump some cases from “pay” to “don’t pay,” damaging the industry.

Opinions like this drive me bonkers. The mass movement to remote work wasn't an "experiment" we all "opted into", it was a necessity driven by a global pandemic. Putting the narrative on equal plane as "choosing avocado toast" makes my blood boil. We went remote because we had to. We fled cities because we had to. It was our civic duty to "flatten the curve" and save lives. My hat for a bit of nuance and grace.
okay apple, take your wallpaper photos on iphone also.
You're talking about median, not average.
I don't understand your reasoning here. Are you saying that if we don't give money to property owners through subsidization of their mortgages, then there won't be rentals? Why wouldn't there be? They could still get loans they just wouldn't be government-backed.

Why is it worth interfering with the market here? If we want renters to be able to rent and support such interference why not just give renters money directly?
The percentage of utility bills one is entitled to reimbursement for is ripe for fraud and abuse.

BTW, if you have a home office, you can already deduct from taxable income a cut of those, but if you cheat on it the IRS is going to fix your wagon. The home office tax deduction also is going to reduce the basis of your profit on selling the house, meaning more taxes. Companies aren't set up like the IRS to audit your utility bills. Besides, do you really want your employer auditing the percentage of your electricity use? I'm sure they don't want to, either.

Me, I don't care to do the paperwork required for this, and don't do a home office deduction.

P.S. I'm not a CPA and this is not tax advice.
>Unless you lived in a windowless shack, you're leaving out some details, because I don't think a residential dwelling with only one point of egress would be up to code. Not siding with the cops, but also can't side with you, because the retelling appears to not include parts that would have allowed you to exit without escalating anything with the person at the door.

So technically, these homes have a fire exit, but it's a single use deal that takes time to get out of -- basically more of an escape hatch, not something to be used for sneaking out at night. It's to escape a fire, not a physical attack -- you'd be shot or stabbed in the back, cutting yourself on mesh and rock if you tried to use it fast.

So picture a basement with stairs leading up to the main floor, and the cops going "hurr well technically you['re not trapped, you can go out the fire exit if your father points a loaded gun at you and screams from the only safe exit,

Does that help?

I'm happy to go into more detail. I used to avoid small points like that since it gives away information about where they are located, but since the death of Jeffrey Epstein I've had a policy of not aiding opsec of abusers -- propaganda is the selective telling of truths, and folks need to moderate their behavior if they want to both BE and FEEL safe.
What's special about the winter? My great-grandparents on my dad's side lived in the California high desert, maybe 50 miles or so from Edward's Air Force Base, when I was a kid and we visited every year for Independence Day. A week and a half after the summer solstice and I've still never seen more stars or more of the Milky Way outer rim than I did back then.
Finally! The Do Not Track header is the ultimate consent negation. It's an explicit "no". It's part of the request header which the server cannot claim ignorance of. That the web turned into this mess of consent popups despite the existence of Do Not Track is evidence of the bad faith of these corporations. They were clearly attempting to circumvent the manifest will of users. Worse: they turned it into an additional bit for tracking.

So good to see legal precedent for it!
Thank you for the feedback. It's essential to address these issues for a better user experience:

1. The "Sign In With Google" button might discourage users. To improve this, consider adding a brief description of the benefits of signing in with Google or provide alternative registration methods.

2. Implementing a wider click area for input focus would enhance user-friendliness. Make sure users can click anywhere within the input field to activate it.

3. Enabling the "Enter" key to add a to-do item is a practical enhancement for user convenience. It streamlines the process of creating tasks.

By addressing these points, you can create a more user-friendly and efficient interface.
