...transferring knowledge from TSMC to a US workforce. This is a significant win for the US...

I get what you're saying and I agree, but there's some heavy irony in saying that considering that's exactly how TSMC started out but from the opposite side; Transferring knowledge from "the west" (RCA from US and Philips) with ITRI it evolved into a project of Taiwanese state which culminated in TSMC.
Systemd has had timers since 2012: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/36697dc0199e25f09b...

So if timers were gonna replace cron I'd imagine it'd have happened already. That said, those Canonical folks are pretty crazy, so who knows.

Sudo getting replaced by doas may not be the worst thing.
Working in big 4 consulting must be the worst corporate career in America. Low prestige, long hours, mediocre pay/benefits. The skills you develop are a mile long but an inch deep.

> They have no free elections unlike US.

The US is a two party system with many hereditary politicians. How free do you think your elections really are?

> They have no free press unlike US.

How did the US news report on Snownden, Assange and others the US government does not like? The US press is an oligopoly that does barely any real reporting. Theoretical freeness does little here.

> They have no independent judiciary unlike US.

Which is more than happy to shield the executive from any consequences. Qualified immunity makes this separation meaningless.

> They both rank poorly on the corruption index unlike US.

According to western definitions of corruption that conveniently do not include corporate lobbying, revolving door relationsships between politics and industry, backdoor laws via trade deals and all the other shadyness that has effectively taken over so-called democracies. But sure, pat yourself on the back for being less likely to get out of a speeding ticket by slipping the officer some cash.
What do you mean by moving information to the type level?
> genuinely don't understand what's triggering the downvotes here

This is an emerging story about a globally-coördinated takedown of an allegedly-criminal enterprise. Drawing equivalence between that and what you’re working on, and then pitching the latter as the protector of journalists, freedom fighters and presumably Bambi comes across as presumptuous. (Your comments 0 and 1 also partially undermine the notion that you’re genuinely seeking feedback.)

More directly: talk to a lawyer. This isn’t a quirk of Australian law, given it was a coördinated mission including America, Canada, Europe, Australia and even Iceland. My guess is this guy was knowingly receiving payment from criminals doing crimes generally considered as much. But we don’t yet know, so any advice rendered is specious.

TL;DR You may be getting downvoted because of the way your comment is written. Not its content.
> you are fully aware will result in significant collateral damage.

and the terrorists deliberately place themselves in a position where attacks on them results in massive collateral - aka, they want a human shield.
> I don't understand why the EU didn't mandate the do not track flag to be obeyed.

GDPR is a general regulation. It doesn't concern itself with browsers, or cookies. It's on industry to come up with a solution for specific technologies.

Oh, and for browsers they did. It's called the "Do Not Track" header, and the industry immediately sed it to fingerprint and track users.

> By not doing this the EU keeps getting flak for the many cookie walls.

No. It's the industry winning the PR wall. The EU never mandated the cookie walls. It's the industry's calculated malicious compliance.

Well, in the end the industry might end up with EU strictly regulating every single technical aspect of this, but then the industry will cry about government overreach or something.
This makes a lot of intuitive sense- recreational speed, which is generally taken at extremely high doses compared to prescribed, has a reputation for causing psychosis.
Exactly this >Easy. When it is you or your allies committing an act, it is war and collateral damage. When it is someone else, it is terrorism. <

Terrorism is a statecraft term of art used as part of a propaganda campaign. Outside of that is a meaningless term.

Study of defensive behavior of a venomous snake
The reasons behind these polarized emotions will differ based on who you ask and are too many to list. Both sides feel entitled to the land, I personally don't care what the place is called, I just want everyone living in it to have equal rights and for justice to exist in the land. But that requires persecution and killing to end – which I don't see happening in the foreseeable future as tragic as that is.
It is not only sad that fellow citizens want to impoverish Europeans, but also completely counterproductive, especially in the context of an aging population and struggling pension systems. Here's the thing: European countries already have pension systems based on pay-as-you-go models, where current workers fund retirees. But as the population ages and fewer people are working compared to those retiring, the math just doesn't work anymore. The pension system simply won’t be able to sustain the increasing number of retirees.

In this context, citizens need to save and build personal capital to ensure they can retire comfortably. The problem with a wealth tax is that it discourages exactly that: saving and investing. By taxing accumulated wealth, you're punishing those who manage to put money aside for their future. This discourages long-term planning and encourages short-term consumption instead.

The irony is that governments should be promoting savings and investments to fill the gap where pension systems will inevitably fall short. A wealth tax sends the opposite message and risks leaving people even more vulnerable when they retire, without the state providing enough, and without citizens having been incentivized to build their own safety net.

It's one of those "feels-good-on-paper" policies that ends up hurting the very people it's meant to help by making it harder for them to secure their own financial future.
A few counter examples:

1. TSMC (supported by the ROC government[https://dominotheory.com/tsmc-and-taiwans-government-two-boa...])

2. Korean chaebols (Samsung, Hyundai, LG etc, supported by ROK government[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chaebol-structure.asp])

3. Japanese heavy industries (Japanese government support)

The government support are a combination of low interest loans, import controls and financial subsidies.
More crime! People/things tend to react counterintuitively. Surrounded by paradox. If everything is monitored, nothing is. We get comfortable seeing too much... for there is too much to see.

Similarly: armed guards in gentrified neighborhoods. Old ladies feel safe, I don't. You know. Game theory.
They didn’t say to use Signal. Just mimic how they operate.
It's not a matter of "operating from different principles", it's a
matter of facts. Among the killed were a 10-year-old girl and among
the wounded were Iran's ambassador to Lebanon. Mouthbreathers will say
"Iran bad so wounding ambassador good", but an ambassador is a
noncombatant, hence wounding them is prima facie evidence of an
indiscriminate attack.

Moreover, I use the word "indiscriminate" because it has a specific
meaning in IHL which you, apparently, is unaware of. Let me cite ICRC
(https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule12):

> Indiscriminate attacks are those:

> (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective;

> (b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or

> (c) which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by international humanitarian law;

> and consequently, in each such case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.

It is clear that whoever detonated these remote-controlled bombs had
no control over who they injured. Thus, the effects of combat couldn't
"be limited as required by international humanitarian law". Hence, the
attack was indiscriminate. If you don't trust my interpretation of the
IHL, read the ICRC's interpretation:

> But this reasoning begs the question as to what those limitations
> are. Practice in this respect points to weapons whose effects are
> uncontrollable in time and space and are likely to strike military
> objectives and civilians or civilian objects without
> distinction. The US Air Force Pamphlet gives the example of
> biological weapons.[17] Even though biological weapons might be
> directed against military objectives, their very nature means that
> after being launched their effects escape from the control of the
> launcher and may strike both combatants and civilians and
> necessarily create a risk of excessive civilian casualties.

Moreover, there is the principle of proportionality. You claim
"deterrence" motivates the attack and the loss of civilian life. But
spreading fear is not a military objective in the first place, hence
it does not full-fill the principle of proportionality.
And the industry is using it to fingerprint and track users.
Isn't that the case for almost every single VC backed startup?
Yes. Systemd timers are an order of magnitude better for the average distro maintainer and the average user than the various ways of invoking and running cron.
I believe the point GP makes is not that China is a good place. More like that we are oblivious to all the points that make our own place pretty bad too.

On one hand, you can claim that it's a well-known propaganda technique (e.g. the soviets using "...And you are lynching negroes" as a rebuttal to anything). But on the other hand, the most satisfying way to avoid that form of propaganda would probably be to fix our own flaws rather than calling whataboutism.
Manufacturing in the PRC defaults to “cheap-as-possible” mode if the specs aren’t explicitly laid out. Think stinky black plastic and sharp metal edges.

Most of the time, the default is compatible with what the free-market MBA crowd wants.
The (standard) ripgrep regex engine has full unicode support. My reading of that is that it should handle such equivalences like matching the decomposed version.

And continues to make. The NHS, for example, is a major source of funding for research into new drugs and treatments. mRNA vaccines came from decades of NHS funded research that the manufacturers are just now picking up and running with.

It should also be pointed out that economic goodness is not and should not be the be-all end-all reason for government spending. Governments building parks, for example, is a social good with little economic value (or at very least hard to quantify benefits).

In the case of things like medicine, government spending there has a social good of limiting communicable disease which is more important than how much money a drug company can make off a drug.

For something like TSMC putting plants in the US, even if it's somewhat economically disadvantageous we are still talking about bringing onshore more jobs and training for US citizens which will generally increase our capabilities here and the satisfaction of those employees.

Trying to get onshore development of electronics, the government basically has 2 levers to pull, either subsidizing building new manufacturing or applying tariffs to incoming tech goods. One of those levers has the negative consequence of raising prices on tech goods for everyone while we wait for manufacturing to build out.
I think you should do an explainer video on how to use it and how to interpret the figures. Not many people (incl myself) remember how to look at these figures, they just arrange their mortgage and forget about it until it's time to renew.
Ask HN: Why do centers of international power often have acute urban poverty?
I guess the key examples are Brussels (EU HQ) and DC (center of US power globally). But there are more examples and details:

- Washington, D.C. (U.S. Federal Government, World Bank, IMF) - Economic disparity between wealthy political districts and impoverished areas like Anacostia; aging infrastructure and high crime rates in some neighborhoods.

- Brussels (European Union, NATO) - Neglect in neighborhoods like Molenbeek, characterized by poverty, unemployment, and social unrest, contrasting with the European Quarter.

- New York City (United Nations) - Stark economic divide between Manhattan’s financial district and outer boroughs like
the Bronx, which experience poverty, crime, and deteriorating infrastructure.

- Paris (UNESCO, OECD) - The affluent city center contrasts with impoverished suburban banlieues, facing unemployment,
crime, and lack of investment, especially in areas like Seine-Saint-Denis.

- Geneva (UN, WHO, ICRC) - Rising housing costs and inequality push local residents out of central districts, while some suburbs face underdevelopment and exclusion from international wealth.

- San Francisco Bay Area (AAPL, GOOGL, META, CRM, UBER, ABNB, SQ, PINS, DOCU, LYFT, SNOW, ZM, OKTA, PCOR, RIVN, DASH, SPOT, OpenAI, Stripe, Instacart, Plaid, Reddit) - Extreme wealth disparity between tech hubs and areas like the Tenderloin; homelessness, housing shortages, and infrastructure decay in contrast to booming tech industry districts.

If I'd arrived on Earth from outer space, I'd expect the most powerful places to look the part. Down to the finest details. What is going on?
Yeah I agree with you. It’s also that the situation in the region around Israel is so complex and long-running that there aren’t really appropriate analogies. The two countries are at a state of war that’s fairly obvious regardless of the parties involved. I’m fairly confident Israel given its history in these matters knows what it’s doing and takes actions that will move it toward security and victory, and any potential responses from Hezbolah have been considered and accounted for. One thing that came up for me was if Hezbolah had de-escalated, what would Israel have done with the pagers? It’s clearly a kind of “sleeper” munition, I wonder what the circumstances would have been for them to never use it.
Do you mean $200,000 a year or in assets?

By any means, I don't see how that's "blatantly middle class", even considering housing costs. Housing costs are the same whether you're wealthy or not.

More money means more money, if you have more, you're not "getting by like everyone else". Everyone else also has to pay all those things, wealthy or not.

Also I'd argue that most people in that range aren't busting their ass more than anyone living at minimum wage.

Apollo is not entirely a good model of how it should be done now. We don't do computer services the same way SAGE or SABRE were done in the sixties either. We should try to use off the shelf solutions where appropriate. But at the same time recognize where we need bespoke solutions.

Apollo had to do so much new things because there was no commercial space sector yet. You have now. Apollo developed engines and rockets and entirely new ways of operation. It would be a mistake to expect to develop an entirely new launcher rocket engine for example just for landing people on the moon.

For example, one could use multiple SpaceX Falcon 9 launches to launch and fuel a low earth orbit vehicle that would fly to the moon and send a lander. Most of the mass in LEO would be liquid oxygen.

There were alternative plans to use LEO assembly already in Apollo but it was deemed too risky. They did end up using docking after the translunar injection (turning the CSM around) and then of course famously in lunar orbit.

So you wouldn't need any new launchers to go back to the moon if one started a project today with a short deadline.

Surely for each individual distro, they get to make their own decision about how to build their system.

I can’t stop you from hating, but if your pitch is that distros shouldn’t be allowed to make their own choices about what to include if you disagree… I guess your option is to start your own distro.

No linux distro was forced to adopt systemd. They did it on the merits, from their determination.

There is one group in Congress dedicated to representing Americans abroad. Since 2007 they've been working to reform the tax code and make the voting process easier. No politician in my state has ever joined - and the tax code remains the same.

Americans abroad are taxed on worldwide income, but don’t get the same benefits; healthcare, infrastructure, education, etc. We pay full price for a system we barely use. The laws on starting a company abroad are arcane; cruel and unusual.

... So I don't feel very represented*.

Again, no other country outside North Korea and Eritrea (a combined population of 30m people) treats their citizens like this. The US just started it because it needed to raise funds during the Civil War, and keeps it because it's a useful way to siphon money.

Non Americans are shocked when they hear of these rules - it's unthinkable. Even Americans are surprised, most have never heard of such a thing.

* Tbf, neither do most Americans these days. According to Pew, only 20% of Americans are 'satisfied with how democracy is working'. 10% feel "hopeful" when thinking about politics, compared to 65% who feel "exhausted".

60 years ago, 77% of people trusted the US govt. Today, 77% of Dem voters wish we'd stop arming war crimes.
It does seem to be already moving in that direction, yet there are still some discrepancies:

(a) living in a highly developed country (and having grown up in one almost as developed), according to this theory I ought to be going full Eloi and mechanical Turk'ing out (AI as "actually, indians"?) all the schlep work in my life to telepresent Morlocks, yet the little of my washing which I do send out goes (to the best of my knowledge) mostly to the historically-developed world.

(b) also to the best of my knowledge, current proto-Morlocks very rarely (or even never) eat current proto-Eloi.

We see this here in the U.S. as well (and I’m sure in other countries, Japan’s “salaryman” culture comes to mind.). It’s far more industry-specific though.

There are two things to consider:

- when technical ability amongst competitors is high across the board those become “table stakes” and the competition shifts to social signaling, i.e. who can appear to be the most committed? Examples are: Who can show up to work earlier and leave later? Who will respond to texts the fastest? In an environment with an unrestrained management there will be no limits and can become very toxic.

- Individuals have different stress tolerance. Hyper-competitive environments weed out those who are less adept at managing the stress, meaning that new “untested” individuals learn the hard way just how bad it can be, sometimes with very bad results. While stress tolerance can be increased in individuals it’s not limitless, so ultimately responsibility lies with management to set hard limits on what is within bounds.
