The contrast between Europe & US is interesting in cases like this.
You have both different views of personal freedoms as well as of basic human rights.

As an example to contrast - NYC has been considering passing a law mandating all rental housing includes air conditioning. Further to that, we have cooling centers for people who cannot afford air conditioning in their homes.

For those that might argue about different climates - the high temperature in NYC & Portofino are the same today.. and in fact, the "feels like" temperature is higher in Portofino, as is the overnight low.

The AGPL is great, even for business. I make a living from AGPL software. Lots of people generally don't like it, because AGPL was not written to please the largest number of developers, but rather to protect the basic software freedoms of end-users. In a sense, the AGPL guarantees more freedoms, is more free, than other licenses such as MIT/BSD for end-users. But depends on the point of view.

Many developers don’t like to have their freedom to steal to be restricted by such strong terms as those imposed by the AGPL. And that’s a good thing for you, my fellow maintainers. It’s also a great thing for you, dear end-users.
JSON: A Modern C++ Library for Intuitive JSON Handling
This matches my experience too. I'm a software dev in my 40s, started career at NI out of college, multiple companies since then.

NI had a fantastic college recruiting process. They sent engineers (not HR people or recruiters) to college career fairs all across the country, often back to their own alma mater, to snag the best-and-brightest from good engineering programs. They then organized big interview days where something like 50 or 100 college applicants would be flown in to interview on Thurs/Friday and then be taken out to downtown Austin on Friday night.

Their interview process was technical, rigorous but fair, and avoided the pitfalls of pointless puzzle questions or of favoring elite credentials over abilities. And their managers, product and sales positions all started from that same pool of entry-level engineers, so even if you were interacting with someone who's title was like "Product Marketing Manager" they had a BSc in engineering, comp sci, physics, math, etc.

The end result was that you always had very intelligent and capable coworkers surrounding you every day. I left for the same reason many other posters have mentioned- by mid career, I was getting paid substantially less than I could make elsewhere.
I sincerely hope more companies follow in frameworks footsteps.

> I’m not sure specifically what context we’re talking about. In court, sure. Talking to debt collectors? They aren’t the police, in the very least you aren’t under any obligation to answer any questions you don’t want to, right?

As far as the question of if something is or isn't fraud, why would the context matter? As far as I know fraud has nothing to do with perjury or being under oath. If you intentionally lie to a debt collector in order to get out of a legitimate debt, I think that would fit the definition of fraud.
[stub for offtopicness. you're all correct, but it's fixed now]
I wouldn't draw the line at "community", I'd draw it at "identity". It's one thing to be something, for example, I'm a picky eater, it's another to build your existence around that fact. Being a picky eater is not part of my identity, it doesn't define who I am, it's part of who I am, surely, and I wholeheartedly accept it, but if I woke up one day and craved some cauliflowers I would still be me.

I could be a part of some picky eater community, I guess, but I would quickly grow uncomfortable with it if it revolved around cherishing and celebrating how we are picky eaters.

I think at some point we took a wrong turn in the identity-based paradigm of society we now find ourselves into, and in our zeal to achieve self-acceptance, empathy and compassion we went from "you don't have to be defined by things you don't want to be defined by" to "you are defined by these and that's great". Everybody is free to base their identity around whatever they want of course, but I can hardly think of anything more dull than basing your being around some mental quirk.

I'm usually a fan of TUIs and think they can be incredibly powerful, but with k9s I couldn't feel comfortable in the day I spent trying it out. I think the problem is that I'm not intimately familiar with kubernetes, being more on the dev rather than ops side, and all that power of the TUI comes at the cost of some discoverability which I desperately need as I fuck around and find out.
> If you're already using IPv4 there's no reason for the extra complications of leaving IPv6 enabled.

That’s just flat out wrong. No pure IPv6 deployments exist on endpoints in practice. Only in internal networks. You either run pure v4, or dual stacked v4+v6.

IPv6 is gaining some pretty solid adoption these days, but it’s not there yet. Disabling it is holding back the deployment of it, and is a problem by itself.

Ask HN: Looking for kids books about famous people
I've been telling stories about various famous people (mostly scientists and some composers) that I am reasonably well familiar with to my 6yo. He loves it and is asking for more, but I am running out of [good] material.

Me reading wikipedia the night before and then paraphrasing to my kid is getting "old" and he is getting interested in reading on his own, etc.

Thank you!
Firstly, the entire port of insurance is to spread risk. If the the market for insurance is "too efficient" at determining who is high-risk and who is not, then it is no longer fulfilling its social function.

Secondly, you seem to be implying that only aggressive drivers are getting flagged by the data. But the computer doesn't know if you accelerate and brake hard because you're an aggressive driver, or if your circumstances require it. Maybe you have to commute to your job in heavy stop-and-go traffic with difficult merges.

Finally, this kind of surveillance changes behavior in ways that may make things less safe. If you're driving down a street and a ball bounces out from behind a parked car do you slam on your brakes out of fear that there is a child chasing after it, or do you think that hitting the brakes might make your premiums go up so you just hope that there isn't a child coming.

I agree that AIM was fine. Not as good as in-person interaction, and no real substitute for it, but as an augmentation it caused no real harm. Chatrooms could be in the same boat, but had more problems.

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Atlassian used to that, too. So I can understand the reason of "making it easier for users" invoked by people implementing this "two step" login.

That was like the video of Steph Curry just casually throwing up five full court shots in a row from near the tunnel.

Is It Possible to Have a Friendly Social Media Platform? It Is in Vermont
Cool - which is why I expanded the post to include all sorts of other evidence of crimes. And indictments don't mean "literally nothing" -- they mean that a prosecutor convinced a grand jury that they had enough evidence to bring charges against you, no matter how catchy the slogan from some judge from 40 years ago happens to be. As I'm sure you can appreciate, the rules of evidence and general criminal case law has changed pretty dramatically since the 1980s.

Morgan Housel hits this nail on the head in "The Psychology of Money", by talking about these "touchy-feely" aspects of money (which are routinely tossed aside in quantitative analyses... because they're not quantifiable).

Okay, that's an interesting perspective, let's explore. A policy that can be unilaterally cancelled at any time, and forces you to put cameras in your car, could be the most efficient insurance ever. As long they manage to predict that you'll be in an accident in time to electronically cancel your policy, they'll never need to pay out more than refunding your premium.

Show HN: Built a Markdown to HTML Converter
After two weeks of working on this project of building markdown to HTML converter/ compiler, It's finally done. It's called yamper (a python package).

Supports most of the md elements like headings, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks, blockquotes, images and links as well as inline elements like bold, italic, strike-through and gfm emojis .

Tables, nested lists, alerts etc. are not supported yet/ Will be working on them now.

The package can be used in a different project or simply on command line. Just pass in the path of the md file like this: yamper '../path_to_md'.

There is also support for choosing template (currently supports 3- standard-light, standard-dark and plain). The standard templates are pre-styles and code highlighted using prism[.]js cdn.

Don't know how it'd be useful to you, but you can also generate tokens from the lexer for your md file.

I struggled at building the lexer (actually at designing it) and posted on this r/Compilers. Someone pointed out to the commonmark spec, which made it designing much easier. After that, building the parser and renderer is quite straight forward. Skipped building the AST from the parser and instead directly converted it to HTML, though.

For more detailed usage instructions and to explore the code, visit the GitHub repo: https://github.com/useDeep/yamper or just try for yourself using

pip install yamper

If you think I'm lying about that, you're mistaken. A tiny piece of grit blowing into the window would cause my eyes to squeeze shut from the pain. It was all I could do to open them enough to pull over.

They were hard contacts, which were necessary for my astigmatism. I don't think the soft ones had that problem.

> why do you know

People who work with machine tools. A lot of people learn the hard way to use goggles. My incidents were with machine tools and being slapped in the face with thorny blackberry vines I was trying to decimate.

I've had a couple other incidents with power tools where the flying debris didn't hit my face, but if it did, without goggles, there would have been damage. For example, one time my angle grinder disk exploded. Another time my radial arm saw picked up a piece of wood and used it to punch a hole through the wall.

One acquaintance leaned over the car battery to attach jumper cables. The outgassing hydrogen exploded into his face and burned off the top layer of his eyeballs. He spent a week with his eyes bandaged wondering if he was blinded (fortunately, he recovered, but he said the pain was incredible).

Others have had their eyebrows singed from a carburetor backfire.
I have a Withings ScanWatch. Was pretty much what I wanted in a smart watch: looks like an analog watch but has discreet notifications plus the fitness features. I got it because I wanted to track EKG, which it is very good at (I was able to provide the readings to my cardiologist who accepted them). However, the HR monitor (using PPG) is now malfunctioning and it's out of warranty and there's no repair options, so it's just sitting on my desk and I'm back to my "classic" watch.

Also, it wasn't fully waterproof (5 ATM is not enough) and I didn't like having to take it off to go swimming etc. My classic watch is 20 ATM.
The author's key takeaway is "flow is king", but what stuck me most was giving people freedom to do their job -- e.g., giving the nurses unrestricted access to the medication, letting the CT tech focus on their job, roaming ER doctors, delegating triage to a nurse, etc. -- the success here came from giving people responsibility and trusting them.

The book had actual garbage advice, live repeatedly suggesting to invest in real state. In contrast to the sensible advice on savings and living below your means, this one was simply "become a real state speculator".
