That is such a backwards policy. I rented a Niro EV from Enterprise and they said I could literally return it with a 5% charge; they’d just plug it in and charge it overnight on site.
Each Sparkmail client connects directly to my Google workspace account and emails are read in app and are not passed through their servers. I authenticate the application with OAuth nothing goes through their backend.

So any lack of ethics in the supply chain (which presumably goes back to raw materials) means the entire thing is unethical? I am not sure what definition of ethics this is, but it is so strict as to render everyone and everything unethical, so perhaps not a very useful definition.

Instead of examples, I got back screetching, whining and whataboutism. People would rather bury their head in the sand and think they're acting virtuously in this world. The cognitive dissonance here is frankly alarming, if it weren't so expected for entitled first-world engineers.
"No one wants to pay for email" because they haven't thought they needed to in a very long time. For over 2 decades, the leading email providers have all provided email for free. Before that, consumers (at least in the US, as that's what I'm familiar with) received email service from their ISP, which wasn't "free", but still provided as a part of your service fee. I honestly don't think it's all that alien that folks would balk at the concept of paying for email service.

If folks ask "why would you pay for email", I think the right first answer to that question is that it's a better service than the free service providers. Then, you can talk about the why's (when you pay for email, you're the customer, not the product, the privacy aspect of not having their email being farmed to enhance a company's advertising profile about you, or being used for AI/ML research if that's important to you, or any of the other reasons that might be important to folks).

So yeah, paid email is a premium service, and if we're being honest, it's been a premium service for regular folk for decades. I happily pay for email myself, but my parents sure don't, my wife doesn't, and most of my friends don't.
I think they meant more for horrible communications applications such as microsoft teams and all the others that don't use XMPP.

Yes, my company had two large childcare centers with plans to build a third. Then the pandemic happened and during the pandemic they decided that not only were they not going to build the third center, but they would close down the other two centers. Now the other two centers are just used for storage, but there are still all these children toys just laying around forlornly in the outside fenced play areas where the last kids left them years ago. Very sad.

I've been seeing a lot of headlines the last month about demand for EVs falling. Of course, it could just be a PR campaign by Big Fossil, I'm not in a position to judge that.

I had another idea about it and I'm wondering what other people think: by buying Twitter/X, Musk has waded deeply into the culture war, and we see on HN plenty of people who just can't stand to see his name. It seems a sizable community, could the supposed downward trend in the industry simply be a lot of refusal to buy Teslas? It would not necessarily reflect directly in Tesla sales because reduced demand for Teslas could be made up on margin by other undecided EV brand buyers seeing more availablity of Teslas and switching because they feel Tesla is an upgrade. In a like manner, some of the former Tesla buyers might not be willing to downgrade from a Tesla, so they hang on to their car longer, get a hybrid, etc.

A tax break only helps people who are paying enough in taxes for it to matter and when it’s well calibrated to match what daycare costs. It would generally be better for the government to provide daycare because they have much better scale and consistency on funding, employment – daycare employees are notoriously underpaid because it’s such a high overhead business – and especially real estate. Using state buildings and getting the workers on healthcare plans which have better economies of scale would be a lot more sustainable economically than having a bunch of small businesses with far less leverage trying to do it on a smaller scale.
> Their privacy angle is little more than mere marketing. Authoritarianism is in their DNA.

Do you have any evidence to support your statements? Any arguments or just conclusions?
The rational thing for voters to do is to mostly ignore what the government does unless it directly impacts them in a way they can understand well enough to rally around and get it changed. Which, it turns out, is mostly what they do.

That just has terrible results most of the time, because it means that people generally ignore or otherwise don't understand what the government is doing, which leads to all kinds of inefficiency and corruption.

But "law requires you to buy this expensive thing you don't want" is simple enough for people to understand and get mad about, and affects enough people to make politicians care.

Ooof. I own a Model 3 and was really looking forward to my Polestar 2 rental in NZ over the holidays. It felt like a massive downgrade in pretty much every way to me. The biggest thing was the responsiveness, it was on par with a standard ICE vehicle in terms of how sluggish it was. I was incredibly disappointed given that I would love to look elsewhere (from Tesla) for my next vehicle.
I suspect the main reason is because Tesla has a monopoly on replacement body parts.

>just very hard in practice

Yes it is, by design. And why aren't we(the EU) trying to make it easier?

>It's just much easier to relocate or hire a local

Is it? Then what about the famous "m'uh labor shortage" employers are crying about? If they'd be open and have simpler ways to hire people remotely from other EU memebrs, their labor shortages could be over.

Phisical relocation of people/families across countries just for a job that can be done remotely, is also a huge PITA for the environment due to all the back and forth traveling between home country and work country people do, and for the housing market, not to mention for the family unit and communities loosing people having to uproot themveles just to press keys on a laptop but only if done inside the right EU country for the same souless corporation. Do I need to state even more benefits of easy EU wide remote work would bring or is the silliness of the current EU status quo beginning to sink in?

>but you don't seem to grasp the complexity of the consequences

Oh I know the complexities very well, but that was not my point. My point was: why aren't we(the EU) fighting to reduce or emliminate those complexities in order to imporve labor mobility which would help reduce labor shortages and also improve the job prospects of people who can't relocate due to family or whatever personal reasons?

A ton of source code that is stored on Sourcehut and Codeberg is also likely replicated over dozens or hundreds of other machines.

I wonder if something like the BitTorrent protocol could be used to keep a repo accessible without directing all the traffic to one site. Take a magnet link to a particular repo and commit, receive the complete branch eventually. Now serve these commits to other peers. That would be rather harder to DDoS or censor.

(This, of course, ignores other aspects of forges: CI/CD, releases, packages, etc. Issues and even code reviews can be branches, too; such tools exist, and e.g. Fossil has them built in.)

I worked at Google when the daycare was introduced. At the time, it was so expensive that very few employees could afford to use it. Was that still the case recently?
Other possible reasons

- We're in a recession (at least if you aren't upper middle class or above)

- Dealers are still acting like there's a supply shortage, so prices are still up but lots are full

- Everyone (pretty much) but tesla has commited to migrating to NACS, so if you buy a car now you'll need an adapter, and depending on where you are tesla's chargers are have half the speed if you're using the adapter (like if you're on a 800v based car)

- Gas prices seem less volatile at the moment (we'll see how much that stays as the election gets closer)
Signal to investors they are making the "tough calls" to boost the stock.
The role of "Senior Engineer" at Google is mostly 28+ year olds, which is the age range that has daycare aged kids. It's also the range that they tend to want to try to keep, compared to the lower levels which are easier to fill with random new grads.
Climate change is a legit issue.

Here's a tempting business model.

1/ Train AI models on corporate customer email

2/ Ask that AI questions about commercially interesting things

3/ Print money

In much the same way that models trained on GPL code write out code which is byte-for-byte identical to but otherwise completely distinct from the code it was trained on, said model will emit interesting emails that have only coincidental correspondence with the commercially sensitive information in the training data set.

Microsoft has absolutely everything they need to do this already in place. Obviously they'd never do something unethical like that so it's safe to continue giving them all your corporate email.

Several things I love about this:

1. Very interesting concept

2. Good explanation

3. Love the idea of using algorithms for moderation/mediation. Seems to be wildly successful on reddit at its aim (of deprioritizing controversial), and very successful on HN.

As as engineer at heart, one thing that would help me get more enthusiastic about this is showing 30 or so example controversial or disputed claims (e.g. who won the election, whatever) and how this algorithm would score various "provided contexts" about them. Of course as a biased individual I can't expect 100% agreement, but it would be nice to see if any wild or surprising results come out of this technique.

The EU "freedom of movement" for work was drafted something like 60 years ago, well before the advent of remote work or even the internet itself, and is in a dire need of an update to modern times and modern ways of work.

Labor mobility doesn't just mean me being free to moving across countries for work.

Labor mobility means me being free to work for whichever company I want in the EU as an EU citizen, it doesn't have to mandate that I have to physically be there in that country for that particular job if physical presence is not required for that job (aka the majority of the white collar laptop-class, which we learned in the pandemic)

Does my code run better at my German employer if run from a German home wifi instead of a Romanian or Bulgarian home wifi? Then why should I have to be in Germany to do that job and not any other EU state suffice?

Yes, I know about all the different laws and taxes of each country and all that legal mumbo-jumbo, but those laws that hinder this can always be changed in order to facilitate this, same how we changed them to have free trade of goods, free EU wide emergency healthcare for EU members, or how we abolished GSM roaming fees such that my SIM hooks on to any cell tower on EU soil and I don't have to pay extra, ain't that amazing.

So then why aren't we(the EU) doing it? Eu-wide remote work labor regualtions(or more like de-regualtuions) would bring more benefits to the block as a whole.
Yep, I work with some old industrial hardware, and most of it is stuck in the year it was made and never upgraded... rs232, rs485, telnet, etc., is a thing you see very often. Now with modern networks, you can isolate those machines and the machines controlling/monitoring them pretty efectively, so those segments never touch the internet, but you still need to connect to those devices and use them. Telnet and rs* just work, because noone complained about zero security there and wanted them removed... but now we're removing stuff that's still in use on newer devices that are not even at hal their 20, 30, 40year lifespans.

I understand the security aspect, I know that telnet is insecure, but I know when, how and why it's insecure and use it accordingly... just add some -use-bad-crypto flag, maybe even make it as a module/plugin, and leave it working as it did.
