Mostly because racism is such a blanket term that it covers:

* Religion

* Ethnicity (real and percieved)

* Attachment to statehood

In the 19th century, many scientists subscribed to the belief that the human population can be divided into races. The term racism is a noun describing the state of being racist, i.e., merely subscribing to the belief that the human population can or should be classified into races with differential abilities and dispositions, which in turn may motivate a political ideology in which rights and privileges are differentially distributed based on racial categories.

FWIW The UN does not define "racism"; however, it does define "racial discrimination". According to the 1965 UN International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,[22]

> The term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.

So sanctions fit that definition, ironically.

The simple fact of the matter is that there is no empirical evidence for life outside of Earth. My guess is that it exists out there somewhere, but there's no good basis for believing that life is as common as the Dark Forest hypothesis requires.
> I'm not sure that that's that surprising (particularly if it's UHT/shelf-stable milk)

It isn't! To get UHT milk, you have to go to a supermarket - it's an imported product. Supermarkets will also have cheese; kind and quality of the cheese vary by store.

Convenience stores only carry fresh milk. I think my favored brand is from a local dairy.

The price of milk in Shanghai, by the way, is much higher than the price anywhere in the US. This is an extreme reversal of the normal situation for food products. Imported UHT milk is quite a bit cheaper, I assume due to economies of scale, but I can't stand the taste of UHT milk.

> go to any convenience store anywhere in the developed world, and you'll find plenty of items that far less than 10% of the customer base have any interest in buying.

Mostly those items are theoretically capable of being used to full effect by 100% of the customer base. Here we have a situation where less than 10% of the customer base is even included in the potential customer base for the product. And given that milk has no place in an ordinary Chinese diet, a very large majority of those potential customers are never going to consider buying it.
> And yet, the ads have never been anywhere close to relevant to me, or my interests, or my purchases or plans or needs at all.

They’re not trying to do that. They are working to maximize revenue.

I think it’s a myth that their goal is “personalized ads” as that wouldn’t make them money. They make much more money off thousands of impressions with 4% conversion than dozens with 90% conversion.

These dark patterns don’t show lack of knowledge. They just demonstrate that they don’t care and know they will eventually grind you down if they keep asking “do you want fries with that” even though they know you hate fries and are on a diet.
They don't keep and tie your searches to your account. There is an option to enable history but it's disabled and doesn't let you enable it, but there is a message saying that they might add features that use this but since there is no feature currently you can't enable it.
These kind of profile based forecasting systems *literally* encode the social biases embedded in the law into a measurement system that perfectly alienates individuals.

So it’s not the algorithm that’s the problem. The problem is having a system like this to begin with.

Perhaps the most brutal way of introducing nucleic acids into cells is microinjection: you make a really, really fine needle, jab it into a cell's nucleus, and inject a DNA solution. It is incredibly painstaking work, does kill a lot of the cells, and making the needles is a black art, but it works for all sorts of cells, even those resistant to chemical methods, so it is sometimes still useful.

I think your last sentence there bears out that you have enough bias on the issue that perhaps the real concern is that it allows sky scrapers.

Since dropping the LVT, Vancouver has used restrictive permitting and extreme downzoning to keep homeowners very wealthy, but also keep a far larger number of people from having access to land in Vancouver.

In a normal city, you don't go from sprawl of single family homes to sky shapers, you have gradual addition of duplexes, then triplexes, then a smattering of small apartment buildings, and finally, only then perhaps, taller towers in a very tiny number of locations.

This is the reality of normal development that has not been restricted by zoning. That Vancouver has so restricts housing that a skyscraper is tenable in so many locations next to sprawl homes is an indictment of the lack of so many other options in between.

Certainly not a problem for a land value tax, that's a societal problem is a city ruined by exclusionary planning.

There are enough other social norms that US companies can bloody their nose on in other European countries.

As for strikes in particular: France doesn't require a union vote to engage in a strike to do so with far-reaching protections (2 employees fighting for an employment-related change seem to suffice from my cursory reading), so the French can strike without needing to be unionized. And boy, do they strike...

that's because on death elves reincarnate in Valinor. The exception was given when the spouse refused to reincarnate (and a lot of pain resulted form that incident).
I was in a similar situation on a London train (different line) this month. The problem is that the operators genuinely do not know how long things are going to take. I agree that the TTR is obviously unacceptable, but the whole service is run on a shoestring budget and is constantly cancelled or late, so there isn't really the capital available to do better.

> The unions here are not acting as representatives of Tesla workers to negotiate with Tesla, but rather as cartels trying to prevent two willing parties (Tesla and its employees) from doing business without cutting in the union.

Out of interest, how are the unions trying to cut in? And what exactly are they "cutting in"?
This is my only “complaint”, having used it as a paid service and now just on the free trial after cutting subscriptions en masse. I was doing some research and had maybe five tabs open to different searches, had a browser update, then after the reload I had five less searches available. In your example they are actually running a new query, mine I wish the result could simply be cached since I’m a logged in user etc. I was disappointed but not sure what they should really do– flash a warning to all new users? Perhaps just when they bring a similar query, “hey we noticed you’re making another search, this time it slides but normally it costs another search”? Like others in this thread I’m hoping they can drive down the cost of unlimited searches rather than spend time creating special cases for us plebs.

Yeah... As an American, i don't get it. Why is the Swedish union forcing the workers at Tesla to sign an arb agreement when they get paid much more than the average union worker in the country?

Does strong union actually result in better pay? If you compare the average software salary from the US to Sweden, it seems like it's doing the opposite, no?

An odd take, seeing as it is generally the poorer areas that are subsidizing the richer people's lifestyles. Not the other way around.
I'm sure the shareholders will agree that spending so much money on something so obviously unprofitable is a good idea.

Spending 0 dollars on just fucking signing the contract like literally everyone else in the country, or several billions trying to construct a parallel society in Sweden. This parallel society would of course have just as much right to strike as the current one, given that the right to strike is constitutionally protected in Sweden.

I guess it would be an effective way of dethroning Elon from Tesla, so I agree - let's go ahead and do it.
There used to be a minimum length for .com, .net, and .org. It was enforced by the registry to avoid confusion or special-case privileging.

When domain names became big business, those rules were changed.

Another old rule is that the domain name could not start with a digit.
That would be a lie from the perspective of a court since it very clearly does not fit their description of the service. In cases like that, courts tend to give leeway to the argument that they promised what a reasonable person would conclude from the product advertisement.

What would be more interesting would be if they had a way to signal their app to do a search locally and report a match. That would still be E2E but might be enough that they would be able to defend a lawsuit.

There was a massive thread on HN at the time and the general consensus was that if you are a Russian entity relying on Western infrastructure that you should probably activate your contingency plans. The writing has been on the wall for all that time and with authorities coming down harder and harder on companies that are still doing business with Russia it is in a way surprising it took Hetzner this long to act.

Totes should learn Ruby :) One of the most important things to learn in Ruby is a sense of "this should be easy" - if you're doing something, and it's hard, often times that's because there's a different approach that's not only easy, but once you're doing it that way you realize it was the Right Way All Along.

Job market - At Rubyconf, the part of the literal job board looking for seniors was full, but the junior/mid were crickets. I think that's the case pretty much everywhere tho, so.

Change your postal address if it's (still) Russian?

As per some Russian devs I know, this worked for the vast majority of service providers that issued similar statements in the past. As cynical as it sounds.
I think there’s just a cultural difference between Sweden and the US into how the postal service is viewed.

In the US, the postal service is the OG government service - the power of Congress to create post offices is explicitly called out in the Constitution when it was signed.

Further, the US postal service has a mandate to provide mail access to every residential address - even if’s some remote island in Alaska.

I think the idea that the government can just throw up its hands when faced with a private labor strike, and say “Nothing we can do” is just baffling to us in the US.

"In the aftermath of the OpenAI governance battle, the narrative has been dominated by the idea that “the capitalists won.” While this conclusion is catchy, it misses the point.

The real (and bigger) story is: The founders of OpenAI set out to create a nonprofit public institution to ensure that AI’s evolution aligns with the interests of humanity at large. Last month, it became clear that they failed.

What is also clear: Public institutions that prioritize the public good over short-term profits are desperately needed for the AI era."

> When you have a situation like this you run a worst case scenario and put in effect immediately.

Almost all of the time it's not a worst case scenario though. Most of the time it's just that someone has dropped their phone on the track and trains have been asked to stop so that it can be retrieved.

Worst case scenario management is expensive and dangerous (e.g. walking on tracks) because the net risk or net cost is beneficial in the face of a bad situation. It is a good thing that we don't jump straight to these sorts of solutions as it would be in general more dangerous and our services would cost even more.

Now, is 3 hours too long? Yeah probably. But these sorts of issues happen maybe once a year per line, it's hard to know when you're in one.

Society of Mind (1986)
You just described my last 6 weeks…
Does any company fire their American customers because of the calamitous Iraq war and related war crimes? Do companies fire their Israeli customers because of the current bombing campaign? What about Argentinian customers? Melei has contempt for European style democracy. Should Chinese customers get the boot because of the horrific treatment of Uyghurs by the Chinese Party? Should Hetzner also fire their German customers while they're at it because of German arms exports to oppressive regimes?

Isolationism isn't the answer here. We live in a globalized world and by integrating our economies we disincentivize war and strife. Maybe Hetzner is acting out of principle, maybe they choose to do this because of optics. In any case, it's the wrong move both pragmatically and idealistically.
My version of this involved a Wii remote: freshmen-level CompSci class, and the group had to build a simple game in Python to be displayed at a showcase among the class. We wrote a space invaders clone. I found a Bluetooth driver that allowed your Wiimote to connect to your Mac as a game controller, so I set up a basic left/right tilt control using a Wiimote for our space invaders clone.

The Wiimote connection was the star of the show by a long shot :P

Isn't Russia mostly inside Asia?
Yes. Because it was quite clear that there would be consequences. I think the consensus at the time was that you should get moving if you might be affected, and I also think that the consensus was that by now the war would be over one way or the other. But that hasn't happened and authorities have been coming down ever harder on companies that are still doing business with Russia, Hetzner likely has made an internal re-evaluation of what their exposure is and the legal department has flagged a number of accounts as problematic. This is the kind of thing that got people get jailed for so it isn't surprising that they take it serious. Frankly I'm a bit surprised it took them this long, they should have reacted earlier but with a longer grace period.

This is the sort of thing that keeps Hetzner execs up at night and scared of 4am knocks on their doors:

Similar actions all over Europe with the intensity increasing in the last six months. Most of these are about dual use tech and outright sanction busting but hosting doesn't necessarily get a free pass and I figure Hetzner execs are not brave enough to figure out if theirs is the finest line to be drawn around this.
