How could it be illegal to refuse to bargain? If want to sell my piano for $1000, am I legally required to lower the price if someone tries to bargain with me?
I followed a similar path as you did about a year ago. Having tried a bunch of options, I can recommend strongly Strongbox - fantastic native apps for iOS and macOS, with your choice of sync mechanism (local-only is also a first class citizen), and it uses the KeePass file format so you can use your client of choice on other operating systems/no worries about lock-in. Good system integration and autofill extensions. I also appreciated that there was an option for a one-time purchase.

We'll see how the EU data protection offices feel about that. Just imagine having something like this happen and then giving your customers the finger. The lack of ethics is impressive. I sincerely hope they get fined into oblivion as a nice example to the next medical company that doesn't understand their responsibilities towards their users.
If some authority doesn't roll out the guillotine for this one then we should all just give up believing citizens are important in the eyes of the state.

I think we all know the answer already.
To be fair, I have not tried a modern version. But the way that I use a modern terminal, I probably would not care for smooth scrolling.

Simply, I would not want anything hindering the dumping of information to my screen. I am no longer rate limited by baud rate, racing to hit ^S and ^Q to pause and continue the display output.

Rather, I'll hit a command, let it dump however many lines it wants, and then scrollback in the buffer with the scroll bar to see what I missed. This also effectively pauses fast moving output as the buffer continues to fill while I'm scrolled back.

If the information is still flowing so fast I can't make sense of it in my text window, I can either search on the text live, or Select-All, Copy a large swatch of it, switch to another window and paste it into an editor buffer and have my way with it.

My terminal buffer has "infinite" scrollback. Yes, there have been times when I've left processes running over the weekend to come back and having my machine cratered with swap because my terminal buffer was far, far too large, gorged with logging messages. C'est la vie, I'll take that minor inconvenience over the flexibility of an infinite scroll buffer.

The modern terminal environment for me is quite different from the old VT-100 days. Perhaps if the smooth scrolling was faster I would not have minded it as much back then, but it wasn't and I found the default VT-100 rate too slow. Data can scroll by too fast, but there was always other mechanics to pause and such that I can use as much or as little as I wanted, rate limited by me rather than limited by the terminal. I found that way much more flexible and suited to how I consumed information.
I think you're misreading the article. Pike doesn't say that the language is perfect at all. He says that they did better on the community aspects, but they admit the flaws in the language.

Delivering files is the easy part, integrating with the language tooling/buildsystem is the hard bit. Seemingly simple concepts like a dependency don’t translate neatly across languages.
To be clear, the victims of this breach may be targeted for much more than just identity theft or monetary losses, given the way the stolen data has been deployed. This was the first ever industrial-scale attempt to target people of a specific ethnicity using genetic data to identify and "doxx" them for potential hate crimes.

One could easily see, e.g. a citizen of a middle eastern country who had some surprising Ashkenazi background being targeted for death as a result of this.
OpenSSL and Go crypt/tls has no support yet, so none of the webservers that depend on them support it. Apache, Nginx, and Caddy, they all need upstream ECH support first.

Another reason for physically modelled or excellently sampled pipe organ synthesis: even when an actual pipe organ exists, maintenance has historically become more and more of an issue for its owners, and thus implementing it digitally (with huge attention to detail) can be a way for an organ's unique character to live on even when its owners can no longer afford to keep it functional.
The biggest win for Go is its approach based on composition rather than inheritance.

There isn’t any “architect engineer” building cathedrals with interfaces and abstract classes. There’s no cult behind needing to follow DDD in an event-driven architecture powered by a hexagonal architecture in all projects, or you are tagged as a bad engineer. We don’t have thousands of traits to define every possible code interaction, yes. From a type system point of view, Go is lacking compared to HM based type system, yes. Yes, it’s all pros and cons with this decision. We can agree on that.

I’ve seen that the predominant enemy for a software project is software engineers. Go keeps them in line for the sake of the project.
So just make a new package per dependency then. And have each version of that package depend on each version of the original package.
I didn’t pull any stats but I’ve been working at Google for most of the last 10 years (in two stints).

And actually I think even 10K is a very generous upper bound, really if I were betting money I’d peg it at like maybe 2000 engineers that use golang as their primary language and a big chunk of those are SWE-SRE?

There's just _way_ more Java and C++ than there is golang…

Each service company can be a fly by night operation. Each megacorp can be a fly by night operation. Just like the famous saying "you join because of the company but you leave because of a manager", each company has some overall DNA, but at a lower level you never know. However much the big man at the top wants to have a consistent image consistent delivery consistent behavior, at the ground level things can be radically different. And it is possible one manager can operate relatively cleanly and another manager can operate like a mercenary, like a fly by night operator.

That lack of benefits is legally mandated, thanks to some high-profile court cases. It isn't that Google or other companies simply don't want to give those kinds of perks to contractors; no manager I've worked with has ever begrudged the cost of these kinds of perks and many were just as annoyed that they couldn't give them to contractors. And it isn't that they want to classify those perks as "compensation" and somehow bill the contractor for them. It's that if you give those kinds of benefits to a contractor, they can be involuntarily retroactively reclassified as an employee.

Before that legal precedent existed, many companies were a lot more free about sharing those kinds of fun perks (social events, apparel, stickers, fun things that don't have a substantial cost) with contractors. I would love to go back to a world in which companies could freely do that and thought nothing of it. And in that world, if some company arbitrarily denied those kinds of perks to contractors I'd agree that that was the company being unpleasant for no good reason.

If you want to complain about companies using contractors in places where you think they should be using employees, by all means do. There are certainly cases where companies use contractors where they should be using employees, and for that matter vice versa. There are also cases where contractors are a better choice (e.g. variable/uncertain needs over time, employees of third-party companies that don't want to be employees).

But if you accept that there are any valid reasons to have contractors and not just employees, the legal requirements that you can't give benefits to contractors are legal requirements imposed on the company, not arbitrary indignities invented by the company.

The allegation is that they weren't taking reasonable steps to safeguard customer data under California law, the problem is that it's not stated what reasonable is. What's needed here are clearer regulations.
> There is absolutely no comparison: not a percussive piano banging on metal strings, not a plectrum on a lute such as guitar, no synthesizer can come anywhere close. Electronic organs can approximate the sound, but not the feel, grandeur, and mighty power of a full-throated organ.

The whole point of TFA, as well as the software it is really about, along with other excellent attempts to physically model pipe organs (e.g. Aeolus) is that actually a synthesizer can come very close indeed.

I would like to see something like this for “home” setups but it would have a much better user experience:

1) user attempts to connect to “home-wifi”

2) owner of “home-wifi” gets notification to confirm or deny access request

3) owner can optionally verify further

4) if approved, then between AP and client device it will create the client certificates with short expiration dates

5) if denied, then no access granted.

6) if user tries to connect multiple times and gets denied for all of them, then their device is blacklisted. No notification.

No more passwords. Minimal friction to adoption.

While the tweet mentions a long list of "proofs" for the petition and the annoying medical visit it doesn't really explain how these 12 years were spent.

i was expecting to get downvoted because as usual a vast majority of the world doesn't understand how economics works. They only look at the final figure "the compensation" but it is more than that. Being a CEO for one of the most cutting edge companies in the world is not an easy job by any means. Every morning you wake up to 10 lawsuits easily. Even if someone throws a shoe at your face in a public meeting, you cannot say f** you without crashing the stock price. You have to deal with accussations, congressional hearings, competitors building cutting edge stuff while you have to ensure that your existing products are doing their job correctly and efficiently and that the employees on your company s payroll are not idle while making something meaningful and not losing 90% of the stock market value every single day. Remember how Elon said "f** you" and several big advertisers left Twitter the next day? If this was Google, their share price would have tanked. You will create huge losses for investors and SEC will be all over you. We really really need to teach ECONOMICS to the masses

The fact that you think employers are legally required to give in to employee demands is truly bizarre.

Even stranger is the fact that you seem to think such a law would be a good thing if it did exist.
For most stuff I've been comfortable with having my OPNsense gateways be trusted points, which has struck a reasonable balance for me between convenience, security, and compatibility. So I Wireguard into that, and from there it's normal firewall and routing in one place, with the ability to lean on hardwired subnets or VLANs so that the universe of old sensitive appliance things (like UPS interfaces) can still be reached. I have site to site wg tunnels between gateways as well. For LAN usage going through a central point has generally not been a significant performance burden, the only thing I have personally that is both very demanding and secure is iSCSI and there I've gone to the trouble of just physically isolating it. Going through a point also means there isn't much in the way of provisioning to do, each client just needs the single WG to the gateway for all (or most) traffic and that's it. Most stuff can be provisioned with ansible, a few mobile clients though I just use QR codes for manually. I should really try to figure out if Wireguard can be provisioned on iOS/Android with MDM but that's been a backburner so far.

I've started to play around with having some things go exclusively into a Nebula mesh with OPNsense only running a lighthouse, but it's more work and rougher. And unlike WG to the gateway and leaning on VLANs for some older kit, really putting everything behind a virtual network they don't natively support requires sticking a translator between them and the rest of the network. Fun to play with a little and the potential is cool, but I don't think there are any prebaked options as smooth and cheap as would be ideal for that, and I suspect the ROI there at my level is getting pretty dang low. IPMI access is the main place I think might be worth it since that's just so sensitive yet simultaneously so useful in resolving issues all while having extremely mediocre security on its own.

Whereas WG to the gateway does leave the gateway as a point of failure, but I'm depending on that to a significant degree for now anyway. And it is fast, simple, reliable, easy to manage/reason about, and eliminates layer 2 auth from the picture entirely. Don't have to worry about someone plugging into some open ethernet port either for example and any necessary effort to secure those, not just WiFi. Threats may evolve but hopefully the options we have to combat them evolve in concert to some degree. Lots of other HNers are vastly more experienced in this then me, and I'm not unaware of some of the potential failure points, but it's hard sometimes to figure out how to balance risk vs resources we have to spend on them (not just money but time).

Also there are other good gateway/firewall options like VyOS, or just working directly off your favorite flavor of Linux or OpenBSD or whatever, that might fit your needs/preferences/tooling better than OPNsense. I don't mean to suggest that it is the best choice, it's just what I've settled in on as a good balance of other values.

I think things evolve in a spiral, where old ideas are recycled with a twist that makes them more appealing.

The tools before the mobile era, the canceled Adobe Thermo (aka Flash Catalyst), Microsoft Expression Blend, and recently Framer (which now is a website creation tool like Webflow), tried to fill the gap between design, prototyping, and implementation. But, they failed because web frameworks move fast, and nobody wants a vendor lock-in of unmaintainable code.

In a world where Glassdoor and LinkedIn exists?

I've got an employer that I've held a grudge against for nearly two decades now and another that friends of mine have held grudges against since at least two corporate rebrandings ago, all just off the top of my head. We'll all happily talk dirt in a LinkedIn DM or over beers and who is to say how many of us all posted some anonymous strongly worded letter to something like Glassdoor.

Labor is still a market, for now, and while it isn't as liquid or as free of a market (in terms of open price [wage/salary] information, in terms of too many near monopsonies and/or trust-like behavior) as it should be in America, and companies should stop treating it like a one-way street. Bad labor relations hurts brands and eventually the market uses that information. It's not always efficient at using that information especially because it isn't liquid/free enough, but it uses that information.

Most of the attempts to do digital pipe organs that are roughly equal to their purely analog cousins end up using substantial chunks of the physical infrastructure of the analog versions - the building, and sometimes even the pipes themselves, generally per-pipe transducers ("speakers").

You can reproduce the 3D soundfield of a big organ using wavefield synthesis. I heard a phenomenal recording/reproduction of a performance of a Messaien piece recorded in the Koeln cathedral and played back at the TU Berlin with their 4k+ speaker wavefield synthesis system. You can walk around in the room and experience the actual "space" of the cathedral.

I don't see the problem. The relationship of a TVC with the company is very clear cut. The reason the compensation rules are so strict is because there's a line of people waiting to sue Google if they blur the lines. Or is your point that Google shouldn't hire any TVCs whatsoever? All work should be done by FTEs, without exception?
