Unless I read it wrong, OP fired the whole company/crew, not individual workers.

The company is responsible for workers that are improperly trained or out of control. If the supervisor can't enforce workplace safety rules, then the supervisor isn't doing his job, and if the company does not have process in place ensuring the supervisor is doing his job, then the company needs to be fined, too.

I can't believe we have this attitude of throwing up our hands and saying "Aww shucks, ya just can't convince those darn individual machismo men to do their job right. What can ya do?"
The content of the article does not support the claim in the headline. No specific evidence is presented that any particular study was changed or suppressed at WPATH's request. The article presents evidence that WPATH requested the authority to approve publications, but also notes that the request was refused by Johns Hopkins. Everything else in the article, including the title, is speculative.

106 is a rough temp to be out and about at!

Most cultures who are based off very hot areas have a culture of a siesta where after an earlyish lunch, everyone just sleeps for an hour.

Works when you live close to work, but gets very difficult very fast if you are farther out.
> and is thus observably a more just compensation model for servers

Except for the several studies showing tips have little to no correlation with service quality and depend primarily on the customer’s self perception as a tipping person.

For example with takeout, you tip at time of order. You don’t even know yet what kind of service you’re gonna get.

There’s also that famous mythbusters episode where they showed tips correlate perfectly with the server’s boob size. Very fair indeed
Thank you about the unicode-math package. I will surely use it.

About the presentations: All beamer themes look similar to me.

Does that neutral way of debugging work as well as having first-class explicit support for the language, or it's more of a lowest common denominator (kind of like what e.g. language support over LSP can offer and how conveniently, compared to what a native Lisp or Smalltalk environment's language support can offer)?
I learned to stretch my speaking and writing out in college. We would have to write 25 page papers on topics I think would normally take 1-2 pages. This forced me to develop the skill of being more verbose in my writing, which over time translated into speech as well. It’s more about providing a narrative, rather than just hitting the bullet points.

This is a blessing and a curse. While it can make certain communications sound better to the right audience, sometimes an email will end up being so long that people won’t read it. Then a new challenge arises. How do I structure my writing, or speech, so people can know at a glance if it applies to them, while also providing the full context for those who need it. I’ve experimented with different options over the years, but don’t think I’ve really nailed it yet.

While you don’t want to be seen as “cold”, I don’t know that going full “management-speak”, talking a lot and saying nothing, is the right goal. I work with many of those people, and we have side-chats where people complain about these jokers monopolizing the whole call, providing 0 value, and leaving no space for people that have important and relevant information to add.

I think the better goal is to find ways to warm up your current communication style, rather than completely swapping it out for one that is also very problematic. Part of this is simply practice. I got much more comfortable in meetings and on calls when I was doing them all the time. It also really helped when a lot of those meetings were about things I really cared about and I was the domain expert. Being the expert on the phone helped me to be more comfortable and confident in what I was saying, and I could speak from a position of technical authority. When I’m less confident about a topic, I’m much more reserved and shy when talking about it. The people who loudly and confidently talk at length about stuff they clearly don’t know anything about are a huge pet peeve of mine. They might sound good to the uninformed, but they are toxic to an organization, as they spread vast amounts of misinformation. They are ignorant, but people trust them due to the confidence they speak with. This is a dangerous combination that should be avoided at all costs, imo.

I never read the whole thing, but I assume the book, How To Win Friends and Influence People, would be one that could help. It’s often recommended in scenarios like this. Just don’t go overboard with the “use people’s names” thing. Some people over do it, and it because awkward and obvious they just read some book that told them to do that.
> starts by educating people

Any security certification has a section on regularly educating employees on the topic.

To your point, I agree that companies are attempting to bypass the hard work by deploying a tool and thinking they are done.
I wasn’t responding to the broader topic about music notation, only picking the nit on the claims about whether you can play the same note in six positions on a standard guitar in standard tuning. If you count harmonics— acknowledging one may not count them—but now I’ve repeated almost my entire comment.
Thanks. That's worth a read,even if it's horrifying.
You know that this was a response for american missiles being placed on Turkey, right? By your comment, I assume that you also agree with Russia, when they criticize NATO expansion around their borders, right?
Ask HN: Startup Feedback – Hub for investing in startups app
[This is not a product shill, only a feedback and brainstorming thread!]

Hi there, thanks for taking the time! I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts here:

TLDR: Robinhood x Reddit for investing in and building communities around startups. Everyday people investing in startups just became legal a few years ago. No product like this exists for this new industry yet. Would like feedback on how you currently interact with startup investing and how this app might appeal to you, or not.

----

CONTEXT: The 1933 Securities Act in the US permitted only accredited investors (net worth > $1m, > $200k+ / yr income) to purchase private securities (equity in non-public companies). That was changed in 2016 and 2020 with the JOBS Act Title III and IV, which allows Reg CF + RegA crowdfunding where now anyone can purchase equity in startups through a registered Funding Portal. Think Kickstarter but you get equity. This movement has not hit mainstream yet since it's so new, and the incumbents in the space have shady business practices and 0 brand loyalty - but they still bring in lots of $. My team and I have a registered Funding Portal (took 1 yr to get approval), and we're now wondering where we should take the product. Our website just went live with nobody using it yet, and a couple of companies listed that have active funding rounds.

THE VISION: Our vision is attaching a social media hub (similar to Reddit and LinkedIn in format) to make our app "The Home for Investing in Startups." Think Robinhood and Reddit had a baby for startups instead of public markets. People create communities about anything investing related. Anyone can post once KYC (Know Your Customer, SSN required) verified. Posts are encouraged to be more long-form and thought out, so I see content creators building their private investing brands on our site, more like Substack / LinkedIn rather than Twitter / X. Once invested, you get access to exclusive investor channels and perks from the company.

MY ASK OF YOU: I'd like to know if this resonates with anyone, why that might be, and a) if people are aware of / excited about this new ability to invest in startups, and b) where you currently get startup news and discussion. Does an app that serves both as the investment platform and the forum for investing in startups excite you? Why or why not?

TIMELINE: We have 3 full time fullstack devs (including myself), and a good designer on hand, and a website already launched with a fully working and legally compliant API, so a good app will take 1 month at the longest.

Thank you so much for your time. I really do believe that we will build a product that is at the forefront of this new wave of startup investing. We're looking for help from other people who see the same vision, so please leave a comment if you're interested in helping us get off the ground in any way. :)
This is an allegation of suppression. No evidence is provided in the article that the supposed suppression actually happened.
>I think Sweden does a decent job integrating those migrants who arrive with sufficient skills for the job market. It's the rest that are problematic, and they would probably do better in the US with its lack of welfare state.

As a (technically) second generation migrant born and raised I doubt this. This is a sentiment mostly only shared by isolated liberal wing of the society, who probably don't really mingle with expat population beyond surface chatter.

And it's not just some racism sentiment but as the post you replied to insinuate, general xenophobic / supremacist sentiments. I even know other (white) Europeans with great education and jobs getting sick of this place because just how condescending and unfriendly people in general are, for petty things such as unperfect Swedish. (Native English speaking migrant being the only exception)
People are shooting down Walmart delivery drones
In the last ten years or so, I came to understand the parable of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” in a visceral way. We can all see the viciousness and cruelty to scapegoats is Trump and the conservatives binding principal, and that they’ve settled in immigrants as that scapegoat without much regard to legal status. You can tell me all you want that the evidence of my eyes and ears is false, but I am not able to turn them off.
Does it understand the semantics, primitives, and structures of any compiled language?

Or is it more of a lowest common denominator experience, where e.g. all of them are constrained to common semantics of C/C++?
Well, in the future, I will just stop reading when the post is from the user "constantcrying".
Show HN: Improve English Vocabulary by Reading Emails Daily
This is something i created to improve my own vocabulary and improved the story creation prompt and the word list (which i have been maintaining for a few years)in the last few months based on feedback from my users.

This service sends daily emails with a short story containing advanced English words. 7 Day free trial is included
Yes, in his shoes, you would do far better, I see.
I don't understand why it's clear that xx is terminated, but not clear that iii is terminated, requiring the last i to be a j.

(Furthermore, if you have additional syntax on it like a superscript th, why is the j still needed then. That's a pure onion in the varnish at that point; someone just using the j without thinking about its purpose and necessity.)
I started testing prompts more in the past few days, thought building this UI to test prompt and compare the response from multiple models.

This is a BYOK app, support models from OpenRouter, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, Azure and custom models. You'll need to
1. Config your AI service
2. Create a new arena
3. Add the models you want to test

Then enter the prompt and click Send icon to see the result
Dbgate looks really interesting, do you know if it supports debugging (especially in postgres)? I didn't see anything on their site, but maybe it is offered via a plugin or something?
Boycotts almost never work. Yet, somehow we keep reaching for that ineffective tool whenever the discussion of corporate bad behavior comes up. Vote With Your Wallet sounds nice, but just doesn't actually work in reality.
x can be altered to xx; why isn't that a problem?
they should try to become USAs bitch then. Leaders there would rather starve their population than give up their power.
Seems like a decent use case for an endoscope. I've never used one with and angle grinder, but seeing into places where other tools are cutting/drilling when the tool is blocking the view has been great.
I hadn't heard about that, I will look into it! The main reason I haven't packaged the extension for distribution is because it relies on the user also having ollama and I'd want to ship something self contained.
While true you are talking about something entirely different.

>Forcing new composers to conform to what old people want from because tradition, damn it is a recipe for creative disaster.

Is it? That's how music and culture was preserved and slowly enriched over millenia, from Gamelan music to masterpieces like Bach.

I'd say forcing new music for the sake of it, especially to the degree and speed we do in the latter half of the 20th century onwards, leads to music following "fast fashion" like deappreciation, lack of understanding of its legacy, lack of leaving a legacy, spintering of audiences to individual echo bubbles, and ultimately commercial crap.

On cheques, you write the dollar part of the amount in words, with no margin to add anything on the left, and then immediately followed by a long horizontal dash to strike out anything that may be appended.

Oh the games I have to play with story points that have personal performance metrics attached to them. Splitting tickets to span sprints so there aren’t holes in some dudes “effort” because they didn’t compete some task they committed to.

I never thought such stories were real until I encountered them…
We were doing something similar with our SCCM boot drives. Boot off the stick, press F8 for cmd prompt, use manage-bde to unlock bitlocker, and delete the files from the cmd prompt.

I'm sorry but this is the customer's fault.

That's true; I suppose it doesn't feel as bad because they're much larger companies and more in the public's eye. It's still scary to think about the amount of power they yield.

> Its pretty much a given that that level of resources will be less than a capitalist nation.

Why?

> If we accept the axiom that each person wants to maximize their resources, then we should expect a natural outflow from the [poorer] nation to the [richer] one. In order to limit that, any ruler would be incentivized to pain the [rich] world as the enemy or make it a crime to affiliate/sympathize with them. this naturally leads to conflict between nations.

(I replaced communist/capitalist with poor/rich since that's what your point is actually about.)

Are you saying that the poor world is naturally the enemy of the rich world? That the rich world should utilize its power (e.g. using sanctions) to keep the poor world (which in your view is the enemy) weak?
I installed a 1000 node netware 386 network for GE in Schenectady at the time. It worked very well, what killed netware was NT had no per seat licenses initially, it was priced per server, unlimited users. Most of my customers only used file/print services. Nobody paid for netware after that. After Novell was fatally weakened, Microsoft introduced per seat licensing, then started aggressively auditing compliance.

> The US has been the the only major country sanctioning Cuba for a decade and a half

Which is enough, as the US controls the emission of dollars, have monopolies over several technologies and, as it extends the sanctions even to the ships that trade in Cuba, disallowing them to enter in US, on practice it difficult trades between Cuba and any other country.

> It doesn't explain why Cuba needs to import 70-80% of their food despite being a fertile tropical paradise.

Modern agriculture depends on machines and fertilizers. And if you go without modern technology, climate change and shortages of water can be an even greater blow to your production. You will produce food, but will be susceptible to famine crisis, as were all countries before sufficient technological development.

Moreover, Cuba is also not an agrarian country. The urban population is greater than the rural, like in any modern country. Remember that societies without much technology had to have a much greater part of population in rural areas instead of cities to be self-sufficient in food.
Yup. Almost all of them are various flavor of fucking up a parser or misusing it (in particular, all the injection cases are typically caused by writing stupid code that glues strings together instead of proper parsing).
Why did the share of childless women 35-44 suddenly drop 5 points around 2012? Such a massive difference must be a change in measurement methodology?
There were ligatures for both ss and sz. The name for the sz survived for both. The modern eszett glyph usually looks like an ss ligature (long s + short s).
> You seem to start from a premise that all people are honest

You have to start with that premise otherwise organizations and society fail. Every hour of every day, even people in high security organizations have opportunities to betray the trust bestowed on them. Software and processes are about keeping honest people honest. The dishonest ones you cannot do too much about but hope you limit the damage they can cause.

If everyone is treated as dishonest then there will eventually be an organizational breakdown. Creativity, high productivity, etc... do not work in a low/zero trust environment.
What responsibility does the Linux bear if you write your own kernel module, install it, and it bricks your machine until you boot into a different OS?

There are limits to the sensible responsibility of the operating system vendor / maintainer. They stopped somewhere south of "mutating core configuration of the OS itself," because if they don't, the owner doesn't control their own computer.
Why? If I'm prescribed a course of something for 90 days, I will get 90 pills, even if the packs have 100.

It might differ by location, but here (I'm in the UK), it's not unusual to e.g. get 14 pills of antibiotics if prescribed a two week course even if the package is in units of 10, for example.
thanks, will dm you. do you explicitly state its a practice you do not engage in anywhere other than the comments here? if so it would greatly help folks like myself if it was an error of some kind. the whois record showed it registered after my search, so i dont think a misreporting makes sense. if its a mistake that would be cool, obviously incredibly suspect which led me to read up on it and i found similar stories from others

Pretty cool ideas. If simple calculations were built into the apps I use, I would make daily use for napkin math.

I've dipped my toe into the pen input tablet world a few times (often unimpressed), but recently committed to a new iPad Air with the latest Pencil Pro.

I write on paper and whiteboards every day for software design and todo lists and just general musing. But recently had an itch for the advantages of digital. And I'm really happy so far. A lot comes down to the app you choose and how convenient the UI/UX is, but the killer features I'm going to hate living without:

1. Infinite canvas. Never have to truncate a sentence or messily cross the spine or flip a page. So much context, I just pan and zoom to what I want to focus on.

2. Rearrange rather than rewrite. Long-press turns my pen tool into a lasso, then I drag however.

3. Very productive erasing. Using the new squeeze gesture, my pen is instantly an eraser and only takes one pass.

In my opinion, nothing beats a whiteboard for conversations about software. It's one of the biggest losses from the pivot to remote work. My ultimate goal is to bring convenient whiteboarding to zoom calls. But so far I'm really enjoying it in place of the pad of paper that's on my desk.
I don't see the relevance of that war for the scenario.

Also, the concept of "fighting back" is silly. Infighting would be the only fighting. There would be no military manouvers and glorious tank battles and nice HD videos of cool ambushes.
It's easy to turn X into XX (20) or XL (40) or XC (90).
Go to Cuba, you'll see why that take is absolutely silly.
Working as an intern in 1999, I was tasked with writing a standards document for VoIP telephones for the TIA working group working on this space. The standards organization had a Word template that everyone used, but as an engineering student, I had been working with and loving LaTex for some time and so naturally I thought… “why not just use LaTex? The final output will be in PDF anyway and the formatting will be better.”

The LaTex output was indeed better. My boss loved my work and had no idea that I wasn’t using Word. Feedback from the working group members was also positive. Wow, this kid has real talent! As a startup, making a positive impression on the giant companies represented in the working group was extremely important for the future of the company, if not its survival.

Unfortunately for me, one day my boss said, “could you send that Word doc over to big-whig so-and-so at massive-company-we-might-be-acquired-by? They want to use it as a template for a new document they’re writing.”

I got that sinking feeling similar to when my mom found out my friend and I had peed in my closet as an experiment at age four.

I then hired a friend to work all weekend painstakingly rewriting it in Word. Boss man got the document. Company was acquired for $100M 18 months later.

Either way, LaTex still looks 1,000x better than Word.
Yeah Zeiss makes a lot more than eyeglass lenses!
