The main potential legal impact of a C&D letter is that, to the extent that notice is relevant to the existence or degree of liability, itay give you enhanced liability after the letter than what you had before. Other than that, yeah, its just basically a formally-written “please stop” letter.

Of course, there's always a possibility that the party sending it follows through on the at-least-implicit threat of litigation.
Also the rising inaccessibility of child care. All other industries get some productivity boost, but in child care it is the opposite (productivity is going down per worker over time).

Sadly, today, those kids would probably have been rounded up, arrested and charged with felony arson, perhaps as an adult in many states.

I remember lighting off fireworks with a neighbor and his older brother. One errantly went into the woods across the street. A few minutes later, we saw smoke. We all went over and stomped it out. Fun times.
A big part of the success of the Xbox (and maybe it's not the Japan destroyer the fanboys wanted it to be) was that they really really let it be its own product, and develop an ecosystem. They not only made it a "PC for your TV" which was widely what it was held as on release, but also expanded the capabilities of what a console was expected to do.

Sadly they also popularized and solidified the "pay to play games online" feature of consoles, vs the "online play is free except for MMOs" that PCs normally have.
It is. I'm sorry.

Constantly changing processes does little to improve your team's happiness or productivity...
As I pointed out already, it is not in fact endless, and most of those poorer countries are steadily becoming richer. South Korea used to be poor as shit, not so much anymore. Eastern Europe has improved massively, parts of it have caught up to parts of Western Europe. China isn't nearly as poor as it was a few decades ago either.

If that's the goal is to cause no harm, we can't have cars. Hitting someone with a 5000lb chunk of metal at any speed is going to cause harm.

The solution here is just to not hit them to begin with.

I think it's 30mph is a reasonable speed for not hitting people.
Russia's not a great example to look at. They're one of the only 'Western' countries that's historically actually maintained a healthy fertility rate. The big catch in their numbers is that in the 90s the country turned into a near anarchic hellhole. But they managed to pull out of that and have had a growing fertility rate since 1998, which has been met with an ever widening array of pro-natal incentives, and a generally very pro-family culture as well. [1]

More relevant is something like Japan. [2] They are currently losing 1 in every 200 people, every year. And that rate of decline is still accelerating. And they have a similar fertility rate to Finland 1.37 vs 1.42. The only difference is that Japan has had its low fertility rate for longer, and so it's closer to the equilibrium rate of loss that such a fertility rate implies, while Finland is closer to their older higher fertility rates.

Show HN: AI recruiter for pre-screening candidates
For the people who don't have time to spend hours looking through CVs and interviewing candidates, we have created a tool that handles the initial pre-screening conversations.

I used to spend hours pre-screening CVs, scheduling interviews and often wasting a lot of time on interviews after rejecting the candidate in my head after 5 minutes.

And sometimes we just have some many applicants that it's not humanly possible to reach all the candidates in time.

Now we have AI to handle the pre-screening chats with the candidates. It's like a mini recruiter, chats with the candidate and creates a report about the candidate.

We have already tested it with more than 2k candidates, so far we get 8.8 out of 10 for the candidate experience.

If anyone has an open position and doesn't want to spend any more time pre-screening candidates - let me know
Companies, courts, and for the most part the congress, obviously don't seem to care. (In the USA, at least. Europe sort of seems to care but even then I'm not sure the solutions have been adequate / appropriate)

One advantage of the DNS01 approach is that you can also order certificates for standby instances behind a load balancer, all fronted by the same domain name. Since the standbys are not serving traffic, you can't get an HTTP01 challenge/response through, but you can still do so with DNS01 and get a certificate delivered to that machine, so that it's always ready to serve TLS in the event of a failover.
Honestly pretty smart. Sit around, collect paycheck, maybe work on resume / side hustles.

And of course, marvel when you still get high performance marks.
>How many people even know that their car connects to cell towers, which allows for location tracking, let alone who actually volunteered for it?

The bigger problem is that cars are required by law to have unique identifiers prominently displayed (ie. license plates), so you had very little expectation of privacy to begin with. Even if your car wasn't connecting to cell towers, a network of license plate readers can figure out your location, and it's unclear why consent would be needed in that case.

+1, this makes it harder to interop with mac working environments which was my biggest usecase for this device.

Sure, I can do other safari windows for research and stuff, but what I really want is different windows of IDEs, code search, docs, and work artifacts. Many of which may not be accessible through the vision pro (VPN, device certs, etc.), but are through my macbook.

If we could have at least 4 or 5 mac windows, it would be much better, otherwise it's akin to a macbook + external monitor. Hopefully they figure out a way to add it in, but it's hard to buy with such an obvious usecase missing.
MTA adds delays to subway emergency exits in latest effort to deter fare evasion
Flexibility has both costs and benefits, for both employers and workers. Being able to switch off and on work throughout the day is a significant benefit for many people, and many people experience having a less well-defined schedule as a significant cost. For some people the benefit will outweigh the cost and for others the opposite will be true. (And I'm sure for lots of people, they will think the benefits outweigh the costs, while actually working in an unhealthy detrimental way.)

But one size doesn't fit all. I'm honestly sympathetic to management of companies figuring out how to balance what's best for individuals with what's best for teams and organizations as a whole.

But I strongly believe that the most successful companies coming out of this period will be those who take this problem seriously, rather than those who pine for the old days and "solve" it with a one-size-fits-all edict from the top.
I’d start by asking people around you if they know an attorney. Recommendations from people you know will almost always be more valuable than a Google search.

If you don’t know anyone that would be in the area of law that you’re looking for, ask for _any_ attorney recommendations, then ask those attorneys for recommendations for people in the area of law you need.

If you absolutely cannot find a lawyer through people you know (and, really, try asking people), then you can look up a lawyer referral service for your state. Most state or county bars will have some program for making referrals to lawyers. Often these will have a low-ish flat fee, which will get your a short initial consultation with a few lawyers in the relevant area of law.

For billing, it’s something to ask your lawyer, thought most lawyers will have some kind of billing program where you pay hourly for what you use, and don’t need to pay some ongoing fee just to have the lawyer as “your lawyer”. Small business that only need a lawyer for a few hours a couple times a year aren’t uncommon clients for business lawyers.
Yes, that's the emotional angle I mentioned.

> Or, are we humans post-evolution and have overridden the innate impulse to reproduce?

Not entirely, but it it's absolutely common for many people to say they just don't want kids.

Also, the primary thing there is the inmate impulse to have sex, not reproduce. It's just that we've managed to disconnect sex from reproduction.

> They're very rarely used for telephony, and many other devices are capable of doing so.

This is a really important distinction. And if you calculate your phone bill by actual minutes used for talking, it's an insane number of dollars per minute.

I'd be completely unsurprised if the amount of "talking on Zoom/Teams/voice chat" is soon to surpass the total number of minutes talking on phones.
Could improve that crappy feedback loop :)

Pinyin is already accessible if you click on the gear icon in the top right and enable "pronunciations". When you make a mistake you can also have a look at it, read the suggestion and the "correct it" by clicking on the correction button and repeating the correct version of it. That will make the error disappear.

I guess both of these issues are too hidden right now.
Employees working exactly 9 to 5 is absolutely the opposite of what employers doing RTOs for "productivity" want. They want them putting in unpaid overtime and are suspicious that they aren't when they're at home because they can't see them.

In a healthy work environment where there's high morale and trust, the exact work hours are going to be off somewhat on a day to day basis in either direction based on logical stopping points. In a toxic environment, workers will pretend to work towards the end of the day then go home exactly when the clock hits 5. Once they can, workers in such an environment will probably leave.

We are thinking about a second kid now, and realized...we kind of screwed up. Women are really most fertile from their 20s to very early 30s (and also have the best chance of a healthy baby, etc...), it is a time when most people aren't even thinking about getting married yet these days, let alone having kids! When you finally figure out you are ready...well...it is much harder to have a kid.

So we really needed to think of this a few years ago. It might still be possible, but now it is an uphill battle and will be a much higher risk pregnancy to boot.
> I can see the need for hiring at some point but I don't even know where to start.

I have advice for this. Most attorneys, at least in my area, will sit down and talk with you at no charge. My advice is to take advantage of this before you have an actual issue that needs attention and talk with a few of them. Investigate them, talk to their clients if you can, ask about them with professional organizations, etc.

And then just use them for routine stuff every so often. Run contracts by them before you sign, etc. The idea is that you want to develop a relationship with them so that you and they know each other. Then, if something comes up where you really need an attorney, yours is already very familiar with you and what you're doing.

> Is there some kind of ongoing subscription cost to keep being "my attorney" or just pay per hour when you have an issue?

There is a concept of keeping an attorney "on retainer" -- which basically means prepaying for legal services. At a small scale, this isn't worth doing. Treat your attorney like your auto mechanic: keep a relationship going, go to them for your oil changes and other routine stuff, and pay by the hour. Then when you need important work done, they're primed and ready.
Which timing mechanism did you use?
not only that, but they're making claims about research papers. What does that even mean?

It might even be true that some/most companies are doing it for this reason (I'm sure they wouldn't articulate it to themselves like that), but what the hell did they research exactly that came to such a qualitative conclusion? It smacks of a biased soft sciences approach to this as a means of fighting for the perception someone with money wants.
I'll note that Aragog in Harry Potter, an intelligent spider who wanted to feed Harry and Ron to her spawn, isn't likely evil. She isn't exactly good either of course.

I think the "evil" concept is baked into the themes of the books. While men are capable of evil, Shelob, Morgoth, Sauron etc are basically the embodiment of sin and incapable of good. So the only way you can say they aren't evil is if you ignore the prose and judge them by their actions against the worst humanity can accomplish.

Why aren't you using an rss feed reader to "subscribe" to all the channels you like and filtering through that? I have all my stuff subscribed in commafeed (https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ but freshrss is also quite good https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS) I only ever go to youtube main page if I have time to spare and want to see something new, it's wonderful. If you combine this with some ad blocks and sponsorblock it makes youtube splendid again.
Maybe if we weren't so puritanical, this would be less of an issue. So you have a picture of my junk? Ok... nobody wants it and it isn't worth anything. Should I be embarrassed that I have something 50% of other humans have?

Thanks. I may have taken "first-class" too literally. :)

Constructor syntax is nice-to-have, but I don't think the lack of it is evidence of alien technology. Java has the same problem, for example, and Java is about as non-alien as you can get. Overall, hash maps are quite well done in CL, and good surface syntax is easily found in popular libraries, if that's a pain-point (serapeum, etc.).

I'm happy to help you find sb-unicode. :) I rarely use CL these days, but when I do, I'm so grateful to the SBCL team for their amazing and ongoing work.

"SafEtY LAWS arE wrITtEn iN BloOd" honestly made me laugh out loud because of how incredibly predictable and rote it is, but the rest of the comment was pretty funny, too. It reads like a recipe on how to construct a maximally neurotic society. I don't think being hyper-aware of potential boo boos makes for a mentally healthy individual.

Drink from the hose, play in the street, climb 80 feet up in tree, I don't care, just try not to die. I did all of this when I was a kid and more; I never broke a bone, and I never died. Sometimes I got my ass kicked or I got some some cuts, bruises, and scars, but I'm alive and I've got stories, and that's what counts. Depriving a child of that seems literally cruel to me.
I agree wholeheartedly. We have rampant drug problems plaguing society but within the white collar and academic world amphetamine is a safe substance for the “unmotivated”. I have trouble agreeing with that.
I want to believe!

But not yet.
Another issue I have, especially when demanding terseness, is that it tends to bail out of writing long code snippets with ellipsis comments like "// And more of the same here" which sometimes defeats the purpose. Except when the code is illustrative to a concept, I want it to be thorough and code the damn thing to the last semicolon.

My solution, which works sometimes, is to instruct it to "not write comments in the code." The drawback is that ChatGPT normally does a good job adding comments, but not something I can't live without.

This "code-trimming" effect does not show up for me in API requests.
This is a management issue though. If they aren't willing to address folks who aren't working (blatantly in your words) when remote, they won't when in office. It's just now everyone gets collectively punished.
Soft tools for people. Some individuals need training on how to manage remote vs in-person effectively.

General discourse likes to identify the older generation as the ones who lose object permanence. The "if they aren't in a seat, they must not be working" mentality. Well, tomorrow's older generation is here today, learning to follow that same behavioral pattern. We have to begin training the culture today if we want to influence the future.
As a side question: am I correct in reading this to imply that the two "leaf" keys here are both RSA 1024 keys? RSA 1024 has been considered within nation-state capabilities for well over a decade, and NIST has explicitly discouraged them for DNSSEC for close to a decade[1].

I can understand not using larger RSA key sizes for framing reasons, but what is stopping the DNSSEC ecosystem from using ECC?

Pregnancy applies to the poor too.

But agreed, there are costs that might not be offset by the rewards. Nevertheless the statistics remain filthy rich and dirt poor are acting as mirrors on the curve.
Each segment starts with a header that consists of a 4-bit type (numeric, alphanumeric, byte, etc.) and an n-bit character count.
My point is we as society should focus on quality, not quantity of everything and everyone.

Fully agree with this post, and further think that a lot of execs have specific issues they feel from this:

- They often got into their role because of their IRL presence including:loud/aggressive voices, tall/physical imposing stature, etc.

- They like the feudal trappings of a big office with floors full of their reports, with a high end looking office, with assistants who get their coffee, etc.

Now that they're working at home, they lose their IRL advantages and perks, and it's actually a more meritocratic environment where you have to manage to metrics/plans more than walk around and catch the vibes. This penalizes bullshiters, which make up a high proportion of the executive class (speaking as one).
Facebook execs have willfully enabled genocide campaigns. It hasn't hurt their ability to hire one bit. Why would this?

It's wild how important and useful a program that does nothing but configuration can be.

Imagine what life would be like if configuration was separated from the software it configures. You could choose your favorite configuration manager, and use that, rather than learn how each and every program with a UI reinvented the wheel.

The closest thing we have are text configuration files. Every program that uses them has to choose a specific language, and a specific place to save its configs.

An idea I've been playing with a lot lately is a configuration intermediary. Use whatever language/format you want for the user-facing config UI, and use that data as a single source of truth to generate the software-facing config files.
We'll be in trouble when they figure out how to use AI on that data.
If you're a poor manager of your organization's current style of work, is that still poor management, even if you're a good manager in a different setting?

To use a sports metaphor, if I'm a really good manager of a team in the German Bundesliga, but then I switch to manage a team in the English Premier League and I'm terrible at that, then that's still bad management, even if I'm not a "bad manager" in some universal sense. And it would be weird for the organization to try to fix that problem by moving the team I'm managing to Germany. They would expect me to figure out how to be a good manager in the new setting, or they would find someone to replace me.
