One of the big issues in housing is ultra urbanization though, where everybody wants to move into a tiny handful of locations. This just drives housing costs upwards basically without end. This graph of Stockholm's population [1] is just completely bonkers. But beyond this it also creates environments that aren't especially good for raising a family in, at least in general.

If I can’t drive to work, I won’t be paid, i’ll lose all my income. Thus, somehow the car company should prevent me from repairing my car, working with any independent qualified garage?
> China is still urbanizing rapidly.

Many things wrong with that statement. There is a reverse migration from cities back to countryside, since the wages in the city have fallen, jobs have disappeared, rent is still expensive, and it's harder to justify living in the city when you can only save a few hundred dollars a year from a job.

Thus, empty retail stores in major tier 1 cities. Empty apartments in Dongguan and Shenzhen. Small crowds at malls.
I'm going to avoid the snarky "hire an attorney" answer but once you get past that necessary first step I do have a few tips:

* get comfortable reading legal documents, this will allow you to have more
intelligent conversations with your attorney
* don't let your attorney make your business decisions, one of their jobs is to
point out risks, one of your jobs (owner/ceo/leadership) is to figure out how
to mitigate risk but that is not the same thing as avoiding all risks
* learn to draft legalese, it will help minimize your attorney's billable hours
And the worst of all are the hardworking lazy ones, who exist only to swallow up their compatriots in universe-unravelling paradoxes.
True. Also unhealthy diet, tobacco and alcohol abuse is problematic too in the self harm department.

However the solution shouldn’t be ban everything and regulate the environment up to babysitting levels.
I think you are moving the goal post a bit.

Ask HN: How do we fight LinkedIn/Microsoft
I am the founder of one sales data providers who updates CRM records when a customer job change jobs. We rely on publicly available information on a LinkedIn profile (that you can find by searching for a name on google/bing search) to source this information. We only do this for opted in users so that we are within the bounds of GDPR/CCPA laws.

But LinkedIn as of this morning has updated their public profile policy to make it difficult for vendors like us to get access to this data, even though they continue to sell the job change information to their customers (based on how each person updates LinkedIn job status): https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a518980

Historically there was a fine balance.. LinkedIn collects data from its users by telling them that they will not sell their data and they make money through making connections (LinkedIn recruiter / sales navigator).

Data providers would rely on publicly available information to update their records so that sales teams can prospect target accounts accurately.

Any thoughts on how we fight this battle?
C-Suite is a cost center. Only a small portion of established companies (not startups) have executives that make a clear revenue difference. First thing AI should replace is most of the C-Suite.
"Executives should focus on figuring out the right workforce model for their business while recognizing that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The key is to focus on implementing a model that is reflective of the nature of their own business model and stakeholder needs. This does not mean that hybrid work with mandating office attendance a few times a week is the only option."

Actually thinking about the goal of your business and your operating model sounds like table stakes...?
I'm even less worried about the security of military GPS.

Does stuff written in Go or Rust really get backlash from end users? From people who would like to hack on it or build it from source and would prefer a more traditional language/toolchain, sure, but end users who are using prebuilt binaries? Really?
If you don't want RTO just leave and work somewhere where remote is the culture. I just don't get this whole thing where you're still trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Just better for everyone if the in office people work in office and the remote people go to remote companies.

I do see that it is better structured, but as any other bash script it relies heavily on global variables.

For example, `--delete-vm` is effectively `rm -rf $(dirname ${disk_img})`, but the function takes no arguments. It's getting the folder name from the global variable `$VMDIR`, which is set by the handling of the `--vm` option (another global variable named $VM) to `$(dirname ${disk_img})`, which in turn relies on sourcing a script named `$VM`.

First, when it works, it'll `rm -rf` the parent path of the VMs disk_img variable is set to, irrespective of whether it exists or is valid as dirname doesn't check that - it just tries to snip the end of the string. Enter an arbitrary string, and you'll `rm -rf` your current working directory as `dirname` just return ".".

Second, it does not handle relative paths. If you you pass `--vm somedir/name` with `disk_img` just set to the relative file name, it will not resolve`$VMDIR` relative to "somedir"- `dirname` will return ".", resulting in your current working directory being wiped rather than the VM directory.

Third, you're relying on the flow of global variables across several code paths in a huge bash script, not to mention global variables from a sourced bash script that could accidentally mess up quickemu's state, to protect you against even more broken rm -rf behavior. This is fragile and easily messed up by future changes.

The core functionality of just piecing together a qemu instantiation is an entirely fine and safe use of bash, and the script is well-organized for a bash script... But all the extra functionality makes this convoluted, fragile, and one bug away from rm -rf'ing your home folder.
OK - let's say that's true. That's not an argument against the RTO Mandate. It's an argument for it because the case that is being made is that in-office management is easier.
They're usually more boring than you might realize. For example, if your new business's trademark is similar to an established company's.
Could this just be a naming issue? I would argue that a totally free market (as opposed to a regulated competitive market) will systematically lead to monopolies and corruption. Maybe your definition of "free" is different from mine (and potentially the author's).
Well, it’s the same as regular GHA runners.
On GitHub provided runners you need to explicitly move data between jobs.
I find that useful in preventing weird side effects in one job affecting another.
I'm curious! What's your reason?

My strong belief is that autocomplete encourages the use of more descriptive identifier names and therefore is one factor that can encourage more readable and maintainable code.

But I'm certainly not the world's most ultimate programmer.
I’ve experienced this. Someone who fixated on back to office and hiring local devs because the only way he knew how to manage was coming to your desk and harassing you. He had trust issues.
connected is fine, gps is fine, but that is all separate from not letting you work on your own equipment.
Using it in economy is actually a top use case for me. Working on my laptop is miserable for multiple reasons, the biggest of which is that I can’t even tilt the lid open past 90 degrees out of fear the person in front of me will recline and catch my screen in the seat crevice and smash it.

China has 10x the road traffic fatalities per capita than we do. People ask if China is safe, and...they never really look at traffic fatalities numbers which are way more significant than getting stabbed to death by some guy at a drum tower. Beijing is the only place I saw someone die before (bicycle ran a red light, taxi was speeding through the intersection at a yellow light, its weird how everything goes at slow motion at the point).

I've actually had pedestrians jump in front of me before at green lights in North Seattle on Aurora, which is famous for traffic fatalities. In this case, the problem aren't bad drivers, but fentanyl. Sometimes the pedestrians really are at fault. Also, we design our streets like ass; e.g. encouraging pedestrian and car traffic at the same time along with ample pedestrian-obscuring on-street parking (you really can't have both!). In this case, yes, the cars need to do the right thing, but that's made difficult enough that tragedies occur way too often. We need to get the Dutch to teach us how its done.
On that note, and speaking as another one of those monthly donors, everyone should consider adding IA to their donation list. It is one of the most valuable archives ever made, and it is under perpetual threat of shutdown.

There are different skills that are needed around structuring communications. Good remote work requires significantly more formal communications, while good in-person work merely benefits immensely from the same level of formality.
Instagram does this too on the Explore page. Really graphic things like you mentioned. I'm guessing they're tricking the algorithm by being "high engagement" since, for Instagram at least, you have to click the offending post to hit "don't show me this".
Android's YT app will do the same autopreview behavior if a video is roughly in the middle of the top half of the screen. If the video runs for long enough in this state, it will show up in your watch history even though you never interacted with the video in the UI.

Can you elaborate on that? Every statistic I've seen so far looked like even "the filthy rich" don't have enough kids. Obviously you'll get some exceptions that are talked again and again on the media, but that's not the norm.

Even by just looking at my surroundings, I have some friends who make decent money, and they're still on "no kids" train, even though hiring 24/7 help would just cost them pennies.
"To use the neutral -- it makes you an outlier or ab-normal (different than normal)."

I'd turn this around and question why a large percentage of the world's population is mindlessly following a modern fad as if they were a pack of lemmings.

Something has gone seriously wrong with the social order.
Interesting! I do find projects with friends very engaging. They always seem to lose interest long before I do, though.

That really bums me out, and used to make me lose steam too. My current approach is, "I'm going to do it no matter what, and if you want to join that's cool too."

That's the main advantage of GPT for me... not infinite wisdom, but infinite willingness to listen, and infinite enthusiasm!

That is in very short supply among humans. Which is probably why it costs $200/hr in human form, heh.

Unconditional positive regard.

Pi.ai is also surprisingly good for that, better than GPT in some aspects (talking out "soft problems" — not as good for technical stuff).

Duolingo is good at going from nothing to something. That’s important.

I noticed in this app, trying a language I don’t know, I immediately get blocked on lesson 1 step 2 - my answer is wrong, but I know nothing and there are zero mechanisms to learn without prior context to guess and extrapolate upon.
Except no one can actually measure or confirm these apparent hordes of lazy slackers that are totally out there. Just legions of secret non-working people.
Why does it need to be logged and stored by a third party?

I'd not have a problem with an employer offering daily on-site testing with no persistent logging for people who have to be on-site but for whatever reason can't be vaccinated, or if they're having outbreak problems in the area.

If no one stored it, there would be nothing to get leaked when the eventuality of data breach happens. Storing it is not in the best interest of the person taking the test, is it? Doubly so for negative or inconclusive results.
Yes it does.
Working in the office necessarily forces you to structure your work in time and space.

More formal communications and explicit cultural norms around communication.

People in office do tend to communicate organically with the humans around them, but online it's much harder.
Very impressive. My only comment is that it wasn't immediately clear whether I needed to click the microphone icon each time I wanted to respond or not.

Same here on the watch history. I like the blank home page.

One thing I did notice is when I upload an unlisted video the sidebar suggestions are lots of fighting clips, maybe some Joe Rogan, and all the baby Rush Limbaugh's getting rich off of hate. I'm assuming this is like the default for an unknown user who is not logged in.

Those kinds of requirements are extremely anti-consumer. If farmers get benefit from that, then they will do it, pay you for it even. But making them do things is terrible. It’s just a way to control and get more money. It will take years but we will break through these coporate controls. Meanwhile, people will circulate hacks so they can fix their own equipment. With all due respect, you are wrong.
So what? Is not disposable income what's left over after you pay your mandatory expenses, like housing?

If real disposable income is rising, then people have more access to non necessary resources than they did before. So, they have more wealth, but are having fewer babies, which is the general trend.

I left Amazon a month ago (voluntarily) for a fully remote role because they asked me to move to Seattle/Arlington. When I joined them, I was already in a different state because of my wife's work. So I told them, I cannot join if they don't give me remote exception; it took them ~4-5 weeks to get the sign off for remote exception from the VP. I took the job and 9 months in, Jassy decided to force everyone back to the office.

A few of my coworkers (3 out of ~15 people team) have/had left when RTO mandate was announced, and I know at least 4 people are thinking of leaving as soon as they have a chance. Since the RTO, a lot of my colleagues have started working at 9 am and log out at 5pm pronto. Before RTO, they would be working until 6-7 pm and will be logging in around 8 am. Sometimes, coworkers would even log in late because they were commuting. I wonder if Amazon would check the Slack+Chime logs to see how the activity drops before and after RTO mandate. Based on my observation, I would bet that the activity/productivity drops significantly more.

Glad I left Amazon. I have been programming for 15+ years (have been in a managerial role for 6+ years), and I firmly believe I am (and my team are) more productive working remotely. I will never work for a non-remote companies even if they are big names.

My main piece of advice is to get an attorney, preferably one who has experience in your industry.

They know more about how this stuff really works than you or I ever will, and you won't be able to judge what risk you're really taking without that knowledge.

But, if I were operating "without a net" like that (which I would never do!), and I really felt that the C&D was about something I wasn't doing wrong, I'd be inclined to ignore it. There's chance that you'll end up being sued, though, so you should be prepared for that possibility. That means you'll need an attorney anyway, and it will cost more than consulting one about a C&D to begin with.
So what _does_ represent what's on the web right now? Genuinely curious to learn.
I have noticed this too, its not just you. They do it in search results too; I search for airplanes or trains and get mostly relevant results except for a single medical gore video. What the hell. I never watch that kind of shit. I don't even mouse over it.
"At fault" is moving the goal posts. If a cyclist gets hit they likely die. If a truck gets hit there might not even be any damage. "Forced to swerve" is kind of a silly bar that ignores all the times that cyclists are forced to dodge multi-ton vehicles, again for fear of death, not scratched paint. Look at the painted lines on the roads next time you're driving and note how many tire tracks cross them.

The very assertion that they "come out of nowhere" speaks to the visibility problems inherent to driving a veritable locomotive down a city street. Yesterday, I witnessed a truck going around a curve on hop up on the curb and drive down the sidewalk briefly. This was at ~55 mph, and upon swerving and dropping the wheel back down into the road the truck wobbled and barely managed to miss the other cars in the road; a bike nearby, even on the sidewalk, would not have had a chance. Imagine being on that sidewalk; how's that for coming out of nowhere?

If there is any world in which a cyclist poses more danger to a truck, we're certainly not living in it.
interesting. I'm curious why they bother going after so many small developers. There must be some kind of negative effect long-term there on their perception in the tech ecosystem etc. Bored in-house lawyers?
That won't get you anywhere. If you require cars, you'll get misbehaving cars, as they come in no other format.

What fixes this is creating collective transportation. Multimodal and capillary transportation options that people can use. And after that, you just phase cars outside of the city.
IDK, working on research experiments has a lot of required effort that can be done by pretty much everyone, I'd estimate that about 80% of our total person-hours is spent on all kinds of "glorified plumbing", wrangling data, etc. And for other domains, if you get a chance, ask a biochem researcher about how much of the contribution required for some discovery involved really thoroughly cleaning glassware.

"Rotkirch is exasperated by those who think lower fertility rates should be welcome, given climate change. “Climate change has to be combated now, and if you look at fertility changes, they are long term."

I don't understand Rotkirch's point here. Of course the kinds of population decline we're on track to experience cannot solve the acute climate change crisis, but it can open up the solution space for human civilization in the long term by giving humanity more time to deal with non-renewable resource constraints and earth system boundaries on a timescale of centuries. There are few ecological problems that would not be easier to solve in a century or two if the human population were closer to 1920s levels.

For mail that you're sending yourself, from your own infrastructure (e.g. the envelope-from address matches the header-from address), DMARC + SPF should be sufficient and is easy to implement.

For third parties that are sending on your behalf, you'll likely need DKIM - but that will be implemented on their side, and all you'll have to do is add the DNS record they give you.

It is and always has been legal for other people to volunteer information about you to the police. Doesn't matter if they're operating a business or not.

I can call the police right now and tell them that lumb63 posted a comment on HN at 2024-01-30T14:14:13. If I had more detailed information, I could tell them that too, and they could legally listen to me. I could tell them literally anything that I know about anyone.

Why would that be illegal?

This situation doesn't have anything to do with the 4th amendment. The 4th amendment prevents the government from forcibly taking information.
