I personally find it really annoying that an individual deems it important to let a whole community know they have made an existantial choice to resign from their place of employment.

Who is really bothered?

Imagine if every person on the planet deemed it important to let the whole world know they just resigned from their jobs.

Thousands upon thousands of people resign every day.

I think I will set up a website:

The "private equity kills beloved brand" stories are usually overcooked, as far as I can tell.

They usually involve PE taking over firms that were already in financial trouble, which is what made them attractively priced to PE in the first place. The PE firm would also prefer to have a nice profitable business, but if they can't turn it around, they have options like asset stripping or selling the name to a different company.

Here TFA mentions "flagging sales" already in 2014.

The most likely alternative to PE "killing" Red Lobster or Sears or Toys R Us wasn't that the businesses restructured with the same management and business model but 25% fewer stores. It was that they went out of business altogether.

I'm worried by PE buying up successful natural mom-and-pop businesses like dentists and vets and worsening the consumer experience at those. Not so worried about them managing the decline of massive national brands slightly more aggressively than another billionaire owner might.
> The death rate in the United States per 1000 male adults as of 2022 is 163.

Actually no. In the movie, there is already gravity present in the hub - generated by rotating this large cylindrical hub. Running in such hub would increase gravity slightly but no running is needed at all! Just being in such hub is comparable to running in cylinder mentioned in the paper.

Running in small (10m) diameter cylinder increase gravity significantly without need to spin the cylinder.

Anyway to minimize effects of Coriolis force in spinning cylinder, I think that the size of the cylinder would be significantly larger than the size in the movie.
They're currently buying up veterinary practices in the UK and turning them into cash cows. This has the effect that pet insurance has gone through the roof, and general vet bills are much higher than they used to be. Pets suffer too if owners can't afford to treat them any longer.

I'm not sure you understand why your comment makes no sense in the context of SQLite, as under the hood it stores most data types as text strings, whereas it supports storing JSON as JSONB.

https://sqlite.org/draft/jsonb.html

Therefore, even if you had any remotely relevant reason for that fundamentalism, storing JSON documents in SQLite does more to meet that personal arbitrary goal than storing it in tabular form.

> Plug that into the fact that it doesn't work to kill someone after they have testified

This way deters future whistleblowers.

If they got rid of whistleblowers before they blew the whistle, no one would hear about it. It would not be widely reported. Just another random employee who died.

There are two Avalonia products: free and open-source Avalonia UI and paid Avalonia XPF. Looks like [1] XPF allows making existing WPF apps cross-platform while Avalonia UI is more for developing from scratch.

Losing My Hands
This Twitter thread was great recently on this topic, lots of useful software to consider: https://twitter.com/igorexit/status/1785288743802609993
Here’s the reason: the LPA cycle, unfortunately. https://twitter.com/buccocapital/status/1576909546164928513
Well, security for starts. Having user A upload a malicious_file.png and then user B download it would not be ideal. Secondly, UX - having thumbnails for files can increase the loading speed. Arguably not the most important UX feature, but we have the resources to spend on this, so why not.
I agree that it doesn't make much sense to kill someone after they've testified, but that 1.6% figure (I think you inadvertently omitted a decimal point) doesn't account for age. Joshua Dean was 45 (0.4% chance of a 45 year old male dying in a given year). John Barnett was 62 (1.5% chance).
You'd be correct they're not - it's much lower - per 100,000[1]. Should've cross-checked with birth data.

The underlying point though is valid: whether the rate of people dying is particularly high depends on quite a few factors. The estimate for 2023 in Q2 is 944 / 100,000 = 0.9% or so. So within a population of 100, you'd still be unsurprised to find 1 person has randomly died of some cause. So if you take say, the 30 presumed people who have complained about Boeing over the last 3 years and tracked them as a quorum...

Surely the average age of the whistleblowers is quite a bit lower than the average male of the whole male pop, or did you take that into account?

> What covid did prove out is that there IS risk.

Not an mRNA vaccine and vaccine risk regardless of vaccine type was known and acknowledged for many decades before COVID.
But if life cannot appear on an earth like planet, and they're "abundant" enough that two planets in the "goldilocks zone" within the same solar system can develop into "earth like" planets, that might indeed mean that we're alone, but at the same time also hint at there's a whole galaxy out there with "earth like" planets just waiting for us to colonize them.
Israel doesn't restrict citizenship to only Jews, it is probably more heterogenous than Palestine. Israel is 20% Arab.
The Palestinian 'right of return' is meant for Palestinian and no one else (perhaps unsurprisngly). I don't see how this isn't the will to create an ethnostate, it's a mirror image of Zionism.
Just to clarify what is what: Avalonia UI is free, what is expensive is their XPF solution, which allows you to get free cross-platform features for your existing WPF app. So this is very much targeted at companies with legacy code that they want to make cross-platform without even more expensive rewriting.
Some UX feedback:

- I click the link and see an image and a slogan. I can't click on anything and it's not immediately clear I need to scroll down to enter data.

- The date picker is not intuitive. Take a look at other sites that allow you to choose a start and end date: you allow start and end dates in the past, an end date before a start date, etc.

- I'm on your website to find out where I can go but I can't proceed without telling you where I cant to go. Perhaps ask me where I am now? Or give some general options?

- Once I get a result (I searched for Belgium from April 2024 to January 2024) I can't go back to the form. It's not a good idea to disable the back button.

If you know what you're doing, XMPP is as secure and more reliable/efficient than Matrix. Really snappy in comparison. Other messengers build on it (Kik for example but also in enterprises). If you're working in security, chances are you're still on XMPP somewhere. That being said, the protocol with its extensions is a bit of a monstrosity, and that also shows in the codebases of available servers. It's no wonder, since XMPP does many things similar to SMTP (federated, based on DNS etc.). I would love if there was a modern, all in one XMPP server written in Go or Rust that includes all the protocol features in a sensible, opinionated package that is straightforward to deploy.. Until then, you'll find me fixing my Prosody instance..

Yes, I use Camtasia for over a decade. It not only solves screen recording but also most other tasks you would need cutting video and sound.
I tried it with a heavily distorted low-res screenshot from one of my Insta 360 videos of backcountry Portugal. You basically see a dirt road from above and a heavily distorted small strip of a hint of the ocean on the side - nothing more.

That it guessed this one correctly is a miracle to me.

Then I tried it with a photo of an abandoned structure in rural France and it guessed UK because some words in a visible Graffiti were in English.

So, it is hit and miss.
That explanation still makes it sound like you are charged for what is transferred to the Internet, but your application might not get some of it because it already closed the connection.

From the OP it sounds like the amount billed is too high to be explained by that.

If what you are billed for isn't actually data transferred, then it is deceptive to say that you are billed for "data transferred out".

>"American" manufacturers obviously have no problem sourcing parts (and labor) from China. Why should "American" consumers?

I'm not saying this from the aspect of "chinese cars are bad" or whatever. Like the Japanese ones did before, they too getting on par and better. So consumers would be fine with either.

I said it from the perspective of losing national competence, infrastructure, and readily available trained people to work it (like it happened with other areas of manufacturing) and getting to play catchup later. American consumers sourcing parts or whole items from other countries will find they're also giving their manufacturing jobs to those countries (and creating a big working class/lower middle class issue), that those countries can then compete globally and replace their own brands, and so on. Later they can find that relying on outsourcing parts means they have not kept up with manufacturing infrastructure domestically, they don't have as many training operators available, and its a difficult race to get back on track when they decide to step it up again (like with the chips industry).
It's highly non-linear, as you allude to.

For a mother with a young child, getting another 1.5 years can be the difference between the child not knowing their mother and having some memory of her.

For someone with no or adult children, it can be a lot less significant. My dad passed away from cancer when I was 30 and while I certainly would have taken an extra year with him, it wouldn't have changed much.
I am no dev or tech bro but common sense tells me that the collection of data is the problem.

Surely, Stopping the collection of all data is the way to go.

A link in the app and outside the app that provides each user with an easy way to delete all of their personal data.

It seems this approach is putting the responsibility back on to the user who has had no input or control into who or what collects their personal data, when there should be no data to delete in the first place.

This is the only wise response in the entire thread. OP please listen to this very valid criticism it is extremely valid. Misinformation just general is not a solvable problem, nor do I believe you could ever approach a good solution.

You are tackling an extremely broad, nuanced, unsolvable problem.

You and your friends are obviously incredibly bright, pivot to something more narrow focused. Maybe you can fact check for some sub genre of information that is solvable?

Think sports scores, building heights and structural engineering. Hard, concrete fact.

As soon as you get into anything with any degree of subjectivity misinformation is impossible to solve.

I honestly thought hackernews of all places would have given you better advice in-line with the above commenter, but what’s actually happening is people are filling you with false hope because you are young.

From the article:

> To raise enough cash to make the deal happen, Golden Gate sold off Red Lobster's real estate to another entity — in this case, a company called American Realty Capital Properties — and then immediately leased the restaurants back.

So private equity didn't try to make Red Lobster profitable before stripping it of its assets. That was literally their first move.
> In a language like Rust there are no unexpected errors

What? Of course there is. Rust added panic! exactly because unexpected errors are quite possible.

Unexpected errors, or exceptions as they are conventionally known, are a condition that arises when the programmer made a mistake. Rust does not have a complete type system. Mistakes that only show up at runtime absolutely can be made.

>To put a finer point on it, would you trust Random Chinese Business to definitely install airbags correctly without Ford or Toyota looking over their shoulder? I doubt you would.

I totally would. Perhaps even better. Like I trust DJI for drones and gimbals and other brands that got better than their US counterparts. It's about brand trust, and a Chinese brand can totally get that, it's not about some unsurmountable China vs US gap.

Not to mention the same argument you made was made in the 70s for Toyota too - "can't trust those Japanese cars, they're inferior". We know what happened next.

Besides, Ford as some paragon of quality control, seriously?

The only domestic Chinese brands "making absolute garbage" are those making cheapo garbage for "dollar store" like consumption. It's the price group that determines the garbage, not lack of Chinese oversight.

Not to mention a lot of US branded stuff (e.g. in computer peripherals) is just rebranded Chinese OEM stuff - selling for 5x to 10x the original price with the same internals.
I tried three photos -- one from a hilltop in Prague (guessed Warsaw — 510 km away, but similar vibe), one from a hilltop in Bergamo (the guess was correct, it's a pretty touristy place) and one from a random street on Thassos, Greece (guessed mainland Greece). Nice stuff.

West Ham railway station, for example.

The ticket machines at this station are also the same type as in non-National Rail stations, and they do not let you print pre-booked National Rail train tickets.

In my experience, if you try to book a National Rail ticket to West Ham, it will not offer you the option of a barcoded ticket.
Yeah I was way off on the death figure, but the point is relevant: the risk of a large population and a low probability event is that the low probability event can become a near certainty due to normal causes.

~30 whisteblowers[1] over 3 years is a fair number of people in your chance pool - not guaranteed, but there's confounding factors (i.e. stress, disruption to work and family life etc.)

My point was meant to be that saying "there's a chilling effect" is also creating the chilling effect by implying it's there, when in reality it can just be something more akin to the Birthday Paradox.

I mean, if you have an aggressively terminal disease with no known cure, I think the risk-reward calculus is somewhat different from the average drug

The issue, as comes up incessantly in all manner of situations, is the way we regulate drugs as a whole. A lack of safety testing should mean a higher standard of informed consent should be used, not that it should be illegal for someone to get ahold of it

I see lots of benefit to regulatory agencies controlling what claims can be made about medications and holding people selling them to account for quality control failures. Agencies preventing consenting adults from making their own risk-reward calculations does badly on both principle and outcomes
