This wiki page raises some good points, for example, the stateful nature of some of the APIs:

Instead of returning a data structure of the match results (eg from a call to match-string), the match results are mutated in global memory and accessed in separate function calls. This is both less functional in style and more error prone. For example, if save-match-data is not used appropriately, then library functions can trample on the match data which a higher level function is in the middle of using.

But in some other parts it reads like two or more personalities stuck in the same body shouting at each other using the same mouth:

EmacsLisp Isn't Scheme

This, from my highly unscientific sample, is far and away the most popular reason EmacsLisp sucks. Well, that’s good to know. EmacsLisp is also not Perl, or COBOL, or IBM 1130 assembler, or a bicycle, or an orange. Thanks for the help!
So what's the full story then?
It's not seen as a spy thing; it's seen as a growing trend of employment fraud from North Korean nationals who are located in China.

Of course, the fact that these people are being dumb enough to apply to a firm composed of former spies and that sells to the US intelligence community is what makes this particular case hilarious.
The theory of police since Sir Robert Peel created the Met has been that the links between the police and the community they serve are the most important thing. It is the connection between the force and the people that provides them with the information to prevent crime from happening, to identify them when they have happened, and to solve them once they have been committed. So these links and friendships should be the basis for the the philosophy of policing in the past centuries. And those could indeed be compromised by being recorded.

Modern American policing doesn't work, and seems to this outsider to oftentimes be more based on a military occupation force than a police living inside their own community, but this is how it is supposed to work.
I worked at Olivetti's Advanced Technology Labs in Cupertino until 1989. We were really making some wonderful stuff then, but the company itself was having trouble, and some scandals. The executive staff were always being arrested for one thing or another (see https://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/03/world/accused-olivetti-ch... for example).

We paid more attention to cases, fasteners, and design than most other clone vendors.

I left out of frustration and joined a little company that put a stack-based programming language inside laser printers.
How lucky for Uber that driving in the rest of the world is fundamentally different than driving in the 4 Waymo test cities.

Unless the company stumbles upon some revolutionary novel computation approach (eg 10x more efficient) it seems a long road for a chip designer to become a financial success.

Even if it could buy a RISC chip today that was magically 20% better than Intel, who is going to buy it for serious commercial installations? It has taken years since Zen1 before AMD started to gain real presence in servers and laptops.
Uber drivers, by any reasonable standard, are contractors not employees. Uber does not, to the best of my knowledge, tell them when or where to drive nor does it force them to pick up passengers. That's the distinction between contractor and employee.

Declaring Uber drivers to be employees seems to be a political move, likely lobbied for by low wage employers that are being forced to offer higher wages because many of their former minimum wage employees are now contractors for apps.
Those "free" IDs are often only free in the sense that the issuer of the ID does not charge for it. But there may be fees to obtain the documents necessary to get that "free" ID.

How is that a function of the overly-simplified and often-wrong calculator?

If the user is never there to be happy/unhappy about it in the first place, then how would you test this anyway?

By closing the loop and increasing engagement, you are increasing the chance that you can make the customer happy and properly educated through future interactions.

Show HN: Ward – a file vault written in bash
just wanted to share ward, a tool i hacked together to encrypt and manage sensitive files in a vault folder. it's written in bash and meant to be cloned and then stored using git or version control.

you don't have to store it that way, it's just why i created it.

what ward does:

encrypts the files in ./vault/ into a single .gpg file, checks to see if your files have been tampered with, generates totp codes if you need them to recover critical accounts.

how to use it:

clone the repo, toss your files into the vault directory, and run yarn encrypt. now commit your new [private] repository or save it somewhere.

that's it. repo link: https://github.com/oeo/ward

feedback welcome, or just let me know if you find it useful.
New Zealand (where I live) has changed the law before to make employees contractors because of either corruption or economic necessity depending on which side of the fence you stand

Weta Digital had people building models on "at will" contracts and not paid very much. They were working on a film for Warner Brothers (if memory serves, I am not looking this up)

A contractor was fired and took a case that since they: worked only for Weta, only on Weta equipment, and for all the working hours there were for Weta they were an employee of Weta (that is the law here - until then)

The employee won.

Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor are very rich, very entitled, and Warner threatened to throw their toys across the room and the government changed the law so that any artist, or computer programmer working on a movie or a computer game had no employment rights....

I doubt that will happen this time. I do not think Uber wants to pay enough.

If you can rewrite that part of it as a JS function, you can probably host it as a free or very very cheap serverless function on Cloudflare or Vercel. Either would also be able to host the static parts of your site for free or very cheap.

Vercel is a AWS and other cloud whitelabeler. Cloudflare has their own networks.

The author of this article makes the point that social media is its key feature, but they still advertise Telegram as an encrypted messenger. So your messages to friends will be on Telegram, they're there for the social network, and they will be unencrypted because they don't support E2EE for group chats and deliberately hide the "secret chats" function.

ACC levies in NZ pay for no-fault accident insurance - it's paid in part by taxpayers, and (for industrial accidents) paid for by employers (companies that employ coal miners pay more than companies that employ programmers).

Our public health system (hospitals, doctors, etc) are different and is largely paid for from income tax (lower than many states in the US, 10% lower marginal rate than I was paying in CA).
You may want to update this post to disable password authentication, and thus you'll no longer need to install fail2ban. An important goal is to tighten your attack surface, not expand it. At this point you will still have an exposed SSHd server, so I'd recommend throwing the server under tailscale. You can setup the SSHd listener to use your tailscale IP or setup tailscale for SSH via ACLs (https://tailscale.com/tailscale-ssh).

Additionally you can further tighten controls of incoming logins with the use of AllowGroups to tighten your controls on which groups can log into the system. This would mitigate a scenario where an adversary is able to escalate enough privileges to write an .authorized_keys file to a non-privileged user which may have a shell still configured.

Finally, unless you're treating this server as a bastion host of sorts, you probably should disable forwarding for agents or X11 etc. We've seen a lot of adversaries move laterally due to this agent forwarding.

Tailscale <https://tailscale.com/> can remove the need to open port 22 to the world, but I wouldn't rely on it unless your VPS provider has a way to access the server console in case of configuration mistakes.
Public comment isn't engagement. I know hearing that will piss you off. But apart from putting up giant numbers, numbers way out of norm of what contentious issues pull into meetings, it's just about the least effective way to influence your local government. Everybody knows the score: public comment is canvassed before the meeting, and (again, unless you're putting up huge numbers) represents attempts by tiny minorities of the community to override the will of the voters, by paying more attention than ordinary voters and showing up on a random Tuesday night to complain.

The irony is, there are plenty of ways for tiny minorities to exert outsized influence in most communities. Here's a really basic one: instead of showing up and giving tedious public comment, reach out directly to your council members (or, better yet, the relevant commissioners, if they exist, who probably never get any kind of public comment) and do private comment.

That's not much more effective than public comment, but it is more effective. There are better things to do than that!

(Having said all this: I'm glad your muni made the decision it did. The high schoolers will be fine. Building housing for homeless people is good for the community.

> That some Israelis believe the settlements help security only makes sense in the same way white Rhodesians believed counter insurgency made them safe[1]

I have no idea what happened in Rhodesia and I don't think yet another comparison (let me guess - it makes Israel look bad right?) is helpful.
The reality is the last disengagement from Gaza went absolutely horribly. Palestinians should also have a big burden to prove they can handle Israel disengaging - so far they absolutely haven't - in Gaza they've been using all their money and energy to try create armies and infrastructure to bring Israel down. We should also believe them when they're saying October 7th was just the start and that "from the river to the sea" Palestine is theirs - this is not some "far right" Palestinian talking point but pretty much a unanimous Palestinian position.

I'm not going to engage your genocide allegation, you're free to believe what you want and we're not going to change each other's minds on this.

"relatively easy to fix compared to the immense benefit" is what I said. Even a few percent reduction in cases of these illnesses would likely be worth tens of billions of dollars for the economy every year. And it could also be justified as defense against bioweapons. A hundred billion dollar program to improve cost and establish certifications could easily be justified if efficacy and safety are good enough. And I'm certain at that level of investment (much lower, probably) cost and certification problems would be very solvable.
Yeah, you basically dodge most automated attacks by getting off port 22

No offense, but that _sounds_ like a super-specific policy :)

Also, how would that even work? Is there a second person who's watching the first cop's entire day? Like, even at 8x speed that's an hour for to watch an 8 hour shift.

It seems like a more reasonable / likely policy is that the video footage is automatically archived and then deleted after a reasonable time (3 months? 6? a year?) if it's not requested by anybody.

That way someone can request the relevant footage when a (hopefully infrequent) complaint is made, possibly after the requester has gotten a lawyer (etc), but the 99% of the footage that isn't useful never consumes anyone's time ("Watch as Officer Smith.. PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN!!!1!!!1" :) ).

I think Podman is still pretty fringe in the grand count. It also may suffer from an aspect of those that know about it and use it are less likely to write a blog post about it.

I use it and prefer it, much so. Mostly because of rootless (I know docker has made attempts to improve this in the last year or so), not futzing with my iptables and a better handling of pushing images between hosts (it's been over a year since I touched any of that infra, I just remember it being more of hassle with docker which took a "our way or no way" approach).

The biggest issue I have with Podman is the pace of its improvement against the rate of Debian releases!
Also by default DACH companies are very limiting to foreigners to go higher. Sure they hire a lot of engineers but you will never see overachiever Indian CEO or Asian CEO or even board members.
If you're giving public comments saying things like "government sponsored access to hard drugs", it's really no wonder public comment isn't working out for you. If you're not known to be in a position to fund runs for competitive candidates in the next cycle (or to fund existing electeds you know to be on your side on this stuff), you should re-read Dale Carnegie before you attempt engaging again. I'm not snarking. You would not believe how much more effective it is just to not be another hyperbolic aggrieved person.
There's a long history of "Baptists and bootleggers"[0] pushing for regulations that serve both of their interests. The term comes from the 2 main groups that advocated for laws against the sale of alcohol in the southern US. The unions can easily be secretly in cahoots with McDonald's or the taxi industry.

Its also clearly not just something they're pushing in New Zealand given that California voters had to overturn a similar state law via referendum[1] a few years ago. They did this by a 17 point margin at the same time that they voted for the left wing candidate for president by around a 30 point margin[2]. In virtually any other state in the US, declaring Uber drivers to be "employees" would almost certainly lose at the polls by a much larger margin.

> GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living; however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income.

It also doesn’t take into account cost of living. You might as well make 300% more but if everything is 500% more expensive I don’t see why that’s an indication of things being better.

Some systems will do that, so I get the confusion. I think the YouTube API for instance has a quota system that takes internal operations into account, so getting back 10 results in a query effectively weights 10+ credits.

I better understand the kind of issues you are facing, as these kind of subtilities are inherently hard to explain.

For better or worse, that's another advantage of starting with a small trial account and actually see how the operations are billed for typical operations.
