I would have been happy if it was called "White Allies" and it just focused on being a good sensitive person.
Raw intelligence isn't the only thing that drives our empathy toward animals though. I'd argue that it isn't even the main thing.

We care much more about an animal's biological/genetic similarity to ourselves, which is why people are comfortable eating octopuses but not lemurs, even though octopuses are much better problem solvers and lemurs are relatively dumb.

We also care more about sociability / the animal's ability to communicate with humans. This is why people are more comfortable eating pigs instead of dogs. Pigs might be smarter, but dogs are much better at communicating with us, eager to please, etc.
Ending mask requirements, that's the thing that will move the needle on cost-of-living. But really, what is this list? Am I misunderstanding something about these? Ending these for the purpose that they're no longer relevant or useful, great, but these aren't even really regulations, just like informative pamphlets it seems:

How are you possibly parsing "We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went" as "I can confirm that Musk made that offer and it was declined"?

That is a HUGE disclaimer. "no information on that, though, whatsoever" - it doesn't get any bigger than that.
Look who is moving the goal posts!

We are talking about ActivityPub tying identity to the server. ATProto is designed from the ground to separate user data from your identity (through its Personal Data Servers), so the answer to your question is "many. There are many servers out there."

Bluesky has many issues (and I for one still think it has fundamental flaws that still make me prefer AP), but identity coupling is not one of them.
Others have asked, and I'm going to ask: Prove the fraud. That is a specific charge, with a specific meaning - as you point out yourself in your comment.

Pointing to money that was spent differently than you think it should be is not fraud, no matter how much you want to claim it.

Pointing to money being spent in suboptimal ways is not fraud. Maybe it's waste - but often it's what the law calls for (aka definitionally the opposite of fraud).

Yelling very loudly about how it's all fraud and waste is not proof. It doesn't matter how loudly you yell.

Repeating "there's so much fraud, omg, fraud everywhere, soooo much fraud" over and over is not proof. Even if your repetitions would make an animated gif jealous.

Actually prove the fraud: Show that the money was spent in a way different than proscribed by law, that the people authorizing the spending were lying, and there was direct enrichment of someone via those lies and misspending. It's not hard if of it around.
Pontianak in Indonesia is right on the equator (I'm seeing 1 minute 14 seconds south latitude at Wikipedia).

timeanddate.com gives (https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/indonesia/pontianak) variation between about 6.5 minutes and 7.5 minutes above 12 hours, long at the solstices and short at the equinox. The difference is due to the sun setting vertically at the equinoxes and at a slight angle to vertical at the sunset.
I looked into accounting software. This posting set my mind:

Shameless C&P:

If you do not use Quickbooks:

* Your bank will hate you.

* Your investors will hate you.

* Your payroll system won't work.

* Your tax systems won't work.

* Your accountant won't work.

* Grants are even off the table in some cases.

* Some places won't audit without Quickbooks.

Paypal is a good example actually: convincing enough to get named ceo, but gets kicked out once his partners get to the bottom of it.

> lying about what they are doing seems bad

Yeah, I hate that. Their talk is closer to WWE guys in the ring (at least on X) than the thoughtful orators whose pictures line the oval office. There's no thoughtful, careful, wise poise about it. There are many others like me who also dislike how things are said, but we look back at the actions taken (not words said) and are a lot more happy with them than we are with Biden's actions (or lack thereof).

> whole hell of a lot of corruption-and-waste-enabling precedents

Could you elaborate? I'm curious to know specifics you'd call out as examples.
As with everything else to do with religion, it probably comes down to something to do with exerting power and control over other people, typically for the profit of the people writing down the "laws" in any given religious text.

Chance are the dude who wrote the rules against eating pork was a beef farmer (Or more likely some kind of noble type who owned beef farms, but didn't do any actual labour themselves) and so the whole thing was just a way to force people to do the thing that made some particular dude or group of dudes the most money and that gave them the most power over other peoples lives.
IANAL but that is 100% straight up fraud. It's the most common accusation I believe regarding delay repay (and the train companies allege it is indeed fraud)

Do not mess with the railways and their revenue in England.
> so where else should it be?

Where it already is. But it's a bad solution for moving text. You should just be able to click on the text and move it.

> gimp allows an arbitrary bounding box size for text layers

That's why you would probably use the x-height of the text path for one long bounding box and then add a bounding box for each letter also. There is no need for the "on click" bounding box to be the same as the in-editor bounding box. You just need to allot a small area around the text that can be clicked to move it. It's not hard, or at least it shouldn't be.

> also because people often praise krita for being the sane one

I don't know what Krita is, but you seem overly invested in this argument if you are having it so frequently that you have to preëmptively admonish it.
Google is like 45% white, 45% Asian.

Who here wants a ticker tape parade to cheer on our brave astronauts!?!

When the parade ends at the stadium, we'll be treated to Musk and Trump on the jumbotron thanking them and wild 'U-S-A' chants as the astronauts circle the track! Confetti and flags!!

Who here still wants a ticker tape parade to cheer on our brave, heroic astronauts?!?
[Edit] I'm enjoying the downvotes so much so I'll double down on it. Adding to Aaronson, Aspuru-Guzik, Deutsch, Preskill, Carroll, Rigetti and anyone who appears on Lex Friedman podcast to opine about it.
Some sort of navigation would be nice a prev/next or some way to avoid having to go back to the links page all the time.

"Wilmore said he had no reason to doubt Musk’s claims about an offer to bring them home earlier"

"Ken Bowersox, NASA’s associate administrator for space operations, said, “I think there may have been some conversations that I wasn’t part of.” But he said the option to fly a separate mission to the space station to retrieve the astronauts was “ruled out pretty quickly.”

Yes, the agent saying "We have to send you back to Canada" is because she wasn't allowed in Mexico. By default her tourist card would have only covered entry from from Canada. The first CBP agent almost certainly attempted to get her back into Mexico which is why it took "hours." If she already had a valid VISA for Mexico then the default would be to return her. The article doesn't even really make it clear that she flew to Mexico first and then tried to enter the US. To the uninformed it would seem she may have flown into San Diego or something. She wouldn't be able to return to Mexico on an asylum claim either of course.
Also the article mentions that the Larp mentioned here directly used an Open Source relative (competitor?) to Artemis named EmptyEpsilon: https://daid.github.io/EmptyEpsilon/

Artemis Tom is cool and deserves the revenue and has a lot of cool scenarios and stuff out of the box. EmptyEpsilon is when you start to need more customization, down to source level, and GM tools. (The article mentions a lot of what this Larp did was not heavily automated and somewhat directly in EmptyEpsilon's GM tools.)
> As someone who's had quite a few dealings with animals (the family business is a horse farm) my interpretation is that human psychology is basically animal psychology with a "language instinct" bolted on as a peripheral.

Growing up with cats and dogs all my life I 100% agree with this. That has caused me to look at animals as individuals I can't communicate with instead of lower life forms that are brainless sacks of meat. They certainty are capable of thought and I am also convinced they share the same basic emotional states but humans have much more nuance and layers over them.
You are on a site for venture capitalists (i.e. company owners), tech startup founders (i.e. company owners), and tech startup / FAANG employees whose TC has a large component of stock (i.e. company owners). Just a wild guess but they probably don't see a problem with money going to the company owners.
DST only really makes any sense at mid-latitudes. If you go close enough to the poles it just seems silly to move around that hour - does it really matter if the sun is up from 2 AM to 10 PM or from 3 AM to 11 PM?
> If the schedule was right you wouldn't need crazy long hours.

Unless you're making the next GTA6 for which the customer is willing to wait forever, if you increase the schedule so that everyone works fewer hours, then you'll get outcompeted in the free market by game devs from China, Korea and Japan where long hours are not an issue and can get games much quicker to market on lower budgets, putting you out of business.
>ERG groups provide mentorship and support.

Yes, and Google offers a wide range of mentorship/support programs, from those for community college students to
upskilling to new hires to tailored programs and more.

>The assumption that all white people, males or in this case Swiss don’t need support

I don't think anyone assumes that. I certainly don't. I'm sure Google provides other means of support to its employees, and ERGs represent just one approach, which address specific needs for specific employees.

What you have to understand is that people are tribal and that can have effects on "outgroups" in any given context. If we're out at lunch and all but one of us is in the same frat, we may unintentionally exclude that person. It's not necessarily intentional or malicious. That's obviously a simplification, but you can extrapolate.

So, ERGs aren't meant to be punitive or exclusionary. In fact, according to OP, Google encouraged all employees to join whichever groups interested them.
Sadly, I've never seen Phish in concert, but I have seen Trey Anastasio and his band at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. It was mind blowing how perfect and complex the music was! My wife enjoyed the band immensely, even though she's not a fan of that genre.

IMO, Phish and solo Trey are a kind of prog/jaze band, who jams out because the music flows in a long play type of way. (It's so good, where do you stop?)

I had the same experience. I played for a few minutes, and the only repetitions I got were countries I already identified on the first guess. I didn't get repeats of any country that I missed initially.

that really depends. There are thousands of languages in the world in dozens of alphabets and I currently only have a hope of reading text in a latin alphabet. As such, even a rendering library that misrendered 99% of unicode but was CVE free would be a major win for me (and hundreds of millions of people)
Ask HN: Favourite resources for learning programming type theory?
Hello HN,

Recently, I've been massively enjoying diving into type checkers and how to effectively use them (mostly in Python).

I lack foundational knowledge about the topic (I never studied CS), however, so I am looking for introductory textbooks/blogs/resources on the topic.

More specifically: I see terms being thrown around like "Algebraic sum type", "covariant", "contravariant", and I would like to understand more about what they mean and imply in a practical sense.

Thanks!
Word. When my kids were pre-teens and teens I moved their computers onto Red Hat because I was tired of cleaning spyware off of it when it was a Wintel box. I moved my wife onto a Macbook Pro for the same reason, and she used to do user support for a community college back in the day.
>Whites are a minority at Google

Is that true? Do white men at google face systemic oppression?
It's the same in the UK vs Southern Europe and Japan where I've lived before. People complain about the wet weather, but it's not that IMO what really gets to you, it's the dark winters with so little daylight compounded with the abundance of cloudy days.

Temperature-wise, most of the UK is actually quite moderate compared to central Europe. It's winter darkness that gets to you.
Lifeguards are for emergencies to help people that can swim. People that don't know how to swim shouldn't be relying on lifeguards. In fact the appropriate response here wouldn't be to provide lifeguards but to open a swimming school or lifeguard training facility.
I’m only comfortable with proprietary infrastructure if I can convince myself that 1) I could get off of it if I wanted to (e.g. can I get my data back out?) and 2) the near-term gains are going to offset the work associated with getting off of it.

That is the exact opposite of the dynamic that VC funded infra companies aim for. They want you dependent and addicted, so you can be cited as part of their durable advantage/moat for their next round.
Oh? They made them that small? Mine needed 2x 5 1/4" bays, and came with a yellow warning sticker to wear protective shoes when handling them.
>their imaginary friend is more powerful than the machinations of a despotic state

This is the sort of thing that makes a lot of sense if you have an imaginary friend but sounds a little deranged if you don't.
I deeply regret that you are providing such a perfect illustration of my point.
Seconding this recommendation!

An excerpt from Carmen Hermosillo (humdog):

"It is fashionable to suggest that cyberspace is some island of the blessed where people are free to indulge and express their individuality," she wrote. "This is not true. I have seen many people spill out their emotions – their guts – online and I did so myself until I began to see that I had commodified myself."
And just to be clear - there is an actual law forcing you to join these unions and pay their membership fees? (Not in the US, maybe this law is actually common knowledge that went completely over my head so far!)
Done, this has been deployed.
Yikes. I had no idea the situation was so bleak for those still stuck on TFSV.
The terms you want to look for are "closed shop" and "union shop" (the difference between the two is that a union shop allows non-union members to be hired, but they have to join the union after being hired).
I’ve been tinkering with Marimo, it’s pretty sweet (and you can use cursor or other AI IDEs pretty easily with it).

On running notebooks as scripts: I can’t find in the docs what happens if you have plotting and other notebook oriented code? Like I’m using pygwalker to explore data through transformation steps, and end with saving to csv. If I just run the notebook as a script, is all of the plotting automatically skipped?
Cars aren't like iPhones, and shipping cars across oceans really only makes sense for luxury vehicles, which is the real reason why Chinese cars aren't available in the U.S. yet.

Most non-luxury foreign cars available for sale in the U.S. are actually assembled in factories in Mexico or the United States.

If Ford wanted to sell cars to the E.U. (competitively), they'd design smaller models and manufacture them in Europe. If BYD wants to sell cars in the U.S., they'll built out a plant in Mexico.
The law in question applies to companies with an “outstanding cross-market importance”. There are no hard criteria for that, so of course Apple would try to argue against themselves meeting that definition.

One approach to this is org-mode with babel.

You can have a plaintext file which is also the program which is also the documentation/notebook/website/etc. It's extremely powerful, and is a compelling example of literate programming.

Stripe adds yet another additional $15 dispute fee, unless you use their AI
In addition to the existing $15 fee every time someone files a dispute, @stripe will now start charging an additional $15 fee for countering the dispute, which you only get back if you win.

Banks constantly claw back legitimate transactions no matter what evidence you show them, so now they'll take $30 instead of $15¹.

This is highway robbery.

I feel the need to scrub every shred of Meta from my existence.
The app looks great.
My understanding is that it's not so much a law as it is a contract between the union and the employer that prohibits the employer from hiring people who don't join the union.
Thanks for your service! I’ve spent many hours enjoying it.
>Again, labor laws saved lives in the past, they can save and/or benefit lives today.

They can, but game dev is not a critical national industry that politicians are gonna fight for with laws to protect labor. Otherwise we could have had unionized clothes making union but what saw instead was the entire textile industry shipped oversees. Game dev will follow a similar fate.

You can unionize if you want, but unless you're guarantee to have a blockbuster IP on your hands capable of raking in billions, you won't be able to compete with game devs from lower CoL countries.

In a globalized free market with no tariffs, high CoL labor can't compete with low CoL labor making commodity goods, which a a lot of games are nowadays. Unions won't fix this, but accelerate offshoring at the expense of the local industry.

My buddy went to Norway and was super upset because the sun never set in the part of Norway he was staying in and he had no idea it would be daylight almost the majority if not the entire day. He also said his Norwegian family was getting upset with him because he wasn't sleeping and keeping everyone up due to his lack of day/night reference.
I worked on classical conditioning of isolated invertebrate nervous systems for my Ph.D. I worked on sea slugs.

Our seawater facility had octopus in several tanks. It became obvious that they easily recognized and differentiated among people who entered the lab. They would approach the front of their tanks when their caretakers (who fed them and cleaned their tanks) arrived, and would hide from the grad students who studied them. When I noticed that decades ago, I stopped eating octopus.
