Fun fact: You can almost always score at least $10-20k if you're fired from a job if you try hard enough.

I've been on the employer side of this... you fire someone who's performing badly, and then they come back 4 months later and sue the company for [insert made up thing here].

In our case, an ex-employee is suing us for not accommodating an anxiety and migraine disability, which they never disclosed and never requested accommodations for. So now we face a discrimination lawsuit (from a non-minority) based completely on falsehoods and things that never happened.

The reason people do this is because it works! Employers will almost always settle before it goes in front of a judge in order to avoid the hassle and cost of defending the claim.

Thanks. Sorry if it was vague. Basically my first preference would be to not have any need to connect to a mobile phone (so no android or apple). And if that is not possible it is preferable to connect via de-googled Android. I guess I need to find out whether Pebble App sync works on GrapheneOS, and whether Pebble App sync requires internet/data permission - just trying to make sure the data doesn't leave my phone.

Do you think the status quo of American prisons is good for anyone? I agree that this issue could be handled better, but as a non-American I've been horrified by many more things in the American prison system than this.
In general, Google objected to the broadness of the class, which on initial filing covered all non-White employees. Specifically in regard to Black employees, they pointed out that some of the evidence presented suggested that Black employees actually earned less even than Latino and indigenous employees, so they might actually have opposing interests. There was also reference made to a different class action (Curley v. Google, in federal court) that would cover Black employees instead.

This got down to a pretty low level of details, not only specifically cutting the class down to "Hispanic, Latinx, Indigenous, Native American, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and/or Alaska Native" employees but also explicitly excluding anyone in any of those groups who identified as Black.

Baseload is about the electrical demand, not the generation. The minimum demand across a period of time.

That was only true until Crew-9 arrived in September, after that they could have at any point evacuated with the same configuration as the one they just came down in.
It really isn't, because Lite is practically as effective, just less efficient.
This issue is mostly seperate from Web Bluetooth: it'd be an issue even if that API didn't exist at all (though, of course, these APIs make it a little harder to use those interfaces for validating anything, though thankfully not that much harder because it's fairly easy to add some 'hey, this is really a browser and not a web page making this request' signal, as opposed to with QR codes, which are ultimately just a collection of pixels and it's the very-hard-to-evaluate context in which it appears on the device's screen which makes for that seperation.)

I would suggest reading the links. You can question the scale but suddenly disrupting food and medical aid is profoundly disruptive and will have generational impacts if it’s not reversed or others don't step in to fill the gap.

The Dead are explicitly mentioned :

So while Phish undoubtedly has fewer fans than Madonna, the ticket revenue per fan is way higher because fans loyally attend multiple shows. Not since the Grateful Dead has a band built a following as loyal as Phish. And like the Grateful Dead, Phish merchandising is a big business as fans gobble up Phish t-shirts, baby-onesies, and hats.
Unions and the labor laws they helped create save American lives. Unfortunately American companies have been upset about this for decades and fight it at every level. Including lobbying laws into places preventing industry strikes. Thus leaving us far behind countries with properly working unions like Germany as you mentioned.

Obviously this carries the risk of creating an incredibly off-topic thread, but usually they "I didn't know" excuse is the result of being unwilling to see red flags for what they are.

In Elon's case, his angry narcissistic nature was obvious years ago (like his 2018 "pedo boy" tweet). Of course, "red flags" can be abused and become premature optimization, so sometimes you have to have your foot on the accelerator but not forget where the brake pedal is.

Relating this back to technology and hosting, we have to maintain strong fundamentals while we use abstractions and building blocks. I'm "old" in technology years (48) but I'm seeing a lot of mid-level to "senior" developers who barely understand the basics of SQL or operating systems.

A lot (and I mean A LOT) of research and breakthroughs in the period of 1500 to 1900 was completed by people with no jobs whatsoever. If you are looking to revive the great mathematicians, writers, philosophers, and scientists of yesteryear, you will need to pay them a UBI and sit back and hope for the best.

Ask HN: Have you ever been hired because of open-source contributions?
One of the most publicized advantages of contributing to open-source projects are the (supposed) better odds at landing jobs. I think that people shouldn't be contributing to open-source just to land better jobs and then forget it, but I ask myself if that premise is true in the first place.

Have you ever been hired because of some open-source contribution? Or do you know someone who was?
That's considering that you only use the land for chickens, and that you get your feed from elsewhere. Multi-use land solves that problem, and can also reduce the need for feed (e.g. chickens in an orchard). Those systems can work really well when implemented & maintained by someone with the necessary knowledge and experience, and drastically reduce resource usage. However, most of those systems are not easily automatable, and thus require more human labour, which makes them more expensive overall (this might be solvable with todays AI & robots, but the resources needed to buid, use & maintain the robots would probably wipe out any resources gains).

France is currently wholly unable to build new nuclear power.

Their latest plant is 7x over budget and 13 years late on a 5 year construction schedule.

The EPR2 program is continuously being delayed, with the most recent news being a absolutely massive subsidy program and hopefully final investment decision in mid 2026. With the current target date being the first reactor finished by 2038.

China is also massively scaling back their nuclear power ambitions. Since 2020 they have been averaging 4-5 construction starts a year leading to something like a 3% nuclear share of the grid at saturation.

Compare with 15 years ago when they were targeting a French like 70%.
This right here. It was 99% the work of all the amazing engineers and support staff at SpaceX, all who deserve more credit.
It sounds to me like you're starting from a position of "a chair is free of politics" and working backwards to justify that position. Without knowing where the materials came from, how can you declare it's free from politics, or perhaps you don't want to admit the possibility of it being imported, surrendering a toehold for an argument for trade and treaties.

What's considered "normal" for a chair in your corner of the world is determined by your history (and therefore politics). There are regulation that impact the materials and processes that go with making the chair, as well as quality

Why is the chair factory in the next town over and not your own? Is the factory unionized?
> This “masculinity” is stuff is nothing more than therapy-speak, and I wonder where it originated. Some sort of own-the-right subreddit perhaps.

I'd invite you to not come with shallow dismissals and thought-terminating clichés like that.

As much as some in HN tend to dismiss social studies, there's quite a bit of interesting stuff in there, and I find the concept of "precarious manhood" one of those interesting topics trying to be understood since if you are a man you have probably felt what it's like in your life.

Just try to be a bit more curious, might be good for you.
He had everything to do with it. If you can't tell by now, he wants to be involved in everything. Recognizing good ideas from bad ones and empowering the right engineers to do it is everything. Look at any of SpaceX's competitors or even other countries space programs to see what poor leadership looks like.
Pushing side projects forward with almost no free time
Hello, friends!

I once heard a programmer call GitHub a graveyard for side projects. Felt kinda unfair to all the folks out there grinding away, making progress day in and day out. But I get it. Getting a project off the ground takes the ability to push forward with something that never seems to fit into your free time. In this post, I share the strategy I have been using to push my side projects forward.
6 years ago I was driver from El Paso, Texas northwest on Interstate-10

I was running the air conditioning and after a few minutes I noticed a bad smell and then my eyes started burning. I saw tons of farms and cows for about 10 miles just to the west. The Rio Grande River literally goes in between with farms on both sides. Here's a link.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/aRe98Eb2cm1ExjE58

I switched the air from "fresh" to "recirculate" but the smell was awful and my eyes kept burning. I finally got through it all and stopped at an exit and washed my eyes out with water for a few minutes.

I don't know how people can live there.

That is indeed quite bizarre. Most of those questions literally don't matter for a citizen, and if you were somehow falsely claiming to be a citizen, the other questions also don't matter because a false claim to US citizenship is punished more harshly by US immigration law than the other things they were worried about. (Such false claims make one permanently ineligible for permanent immigration to the US, with no waiver available, and require a waiver for any kind of nonimmigrant admission.)
Deeper problem for the west competing.

This is definitely true. The only questions are: a) could they have gone back home on the retrofitted seats on Crew 8 or b) could there had been a Crew 10 sooner to allow them to go home on Crew 9 sooner. I don't really know what's up with those questions.
To add to this, ideal temperature is 16C to 18C (we use a Pi to keep a running graph of the temperature). Lower is generally ok, apparently if it gets into the mid-20's they get so stress they try and escape the tank. We have a chiller, though we have also used the fairly common trick of putting ice bottles in the tank as needed (milk containers filled with water and left in the freeze for 24 hours work well).
The Koreans have some good EVs that are as competitive as Tesla is.
True but then why prohibit something that is known and understood by all?
This.

There will be spikes for demand and supply, and the grid is a real time market. There are already spikes and drops in usage as humans wake and sleep.
They can explain the "disparate impact".
Better comparison would be fresh code in Rust vs fresh code in C. Re-writing in both languages following best practices testing and fuzzing. A big difference vs comparing to legacy C code that is trying to be maintained by throwing 0.25 google engineers at it to fix an ongoing stream of fuzzing issues.
I used a similar wrapper for years before I wrote ripgrep. But now all of those wrappers are gone because ripgrep covers all of their use cases (and then some). I'm not a newb and I don't really care about glitter. So I don't know where you're getting your condescension from personally.

GNU grep discards the Unix philosophy in all sorts of places too. Like, why does it even bother with a -r flag in the first place? Did people back then not know how to use xargs either? I mean, POSIX knew not to include it[1], so what gives?

What's actually happening here is that what matters is the user experience, and the Unix philosophy is a means, not an end, to improve the user experience. It's a heuristic. A rule of thumb to enable composition. But it doesn't replace good judgment. Sometimes you want a little more Unix and sometimes you want a little less.

Besides, you can drop ripgrep into a shell pipeline just like you would grep. All that Unix-y goodness is still there.

Yeah, the Kia/Hyundai EVs are pretty great.
No mixup, but the intent was to mean where the most recent common ancestor goes back five, maybe six generations. The eldest generations may not be in attendance (or alive), but their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren... That is the point where, around here, family starts to fragment enough that they rarely see each other but still maintain enough ties to want to occasionally reunite.
It's a race issue. We only know about this story at all because the woman is a milk-white Canadian. It's not supposed to happen to people like her, which is makes it extra outrageous.
> How can they overlook such an attack vector?

Because secure engineering is extremely hard? That's two really quite uncharitable replies from you in this topic now, and IMHO it's really unwarranted. One of the worst smells for secure engineering is the insistence of the people involved that they'd never make a dumb mistake like "that other" group did.

Basically nowhere is humility more of an asset than in this world.
That's entirely immaterial to my comment. You can read the entire story in other locations. However, none of that changes the fact that my comment is accurate.
> I am a computational person, not a scientist, and I think science people find him to be speaking total garbage. That seems a correct assessment to me. His model of the world from physics perspective seems wrong.

I don't think it's that he is speaking garbage, he is basically talking about digital physics which is a real theory being considered and researched, not pseudoscience.

But he doesn't work with the scientific community at all, he just writes his long essays and uses his own terms and ignores anyone else doing similar work. He then gets upset when scientists don't just defer to him.
Maybe your frame of reference is Whole Foods or something. Out here the farmers are wise to people “wanting to spend more for humanely-raised meat” and price it accordingly. It’s considerably more expensive at the farmer’s market than what it costs at a regular grocery store.
What is "expensive"? I've invested 35.000 Euros into a 12 kwp PV system with 14kw/h in battery storage three years ago and I'm on track to recoup within 10 years. For me it works because I have a 60%+ share of usage (in contrast to feeding into the grid), heating my home and powering my car.

A smaller system (i.e. 3kwp, no storage) will break even within 10 years for basically everyone, if you can buy panels at usual market rates and have energy prices in excess of 25 Cents/kwh. But in Germany basically no new residential building is built without at least 8 kwp rooftop solar due to quite generous subsidies for capital costs and feed in tariffs.
>Pigs aren't special.

Apparently pigs can be possessed with sprints. I always assumed that was why they were considered unclean.

From Mark 5:

I don’t think it’s obvious that summary statistics will be helpful unless they’re particularly carefully done. Where do averages come from? If individual data points are biased in the same direction (that is, not noise that cancels out) then the group average will be too.

This isn’t something you can just assume when you see someone quoting statistics. It could be a garbage study.
As long as there's Bash and Python support, Gentoo Prefix could as well. That's kind of the only things that are hard needed for Gentoo as Portage is written in Python and Ebuilds are Bash scripts. Bigger issue would be that the Fuchsia kernel likely isn't POSIX complete.

I used to work with a Qt consultant, who is a frequent KDE contributor also. He mentioned that he got that job through that - he kept pushing usable contributions until one day he got a mail asking he wanted to do the same for money too. (Damm, that guy was expensive. But also, he knew his stuff, we kept him around for as long as we could - we were not the ones offering him the job, we were a customer of the company that employed him)
A chatbot that mentions other people it spoke with
I have an idea for an AI social network where everyone just talks to the bot and the bot kinda hooks people up in some way, lets you know who you should meet, tells you about things, just like a person might. So it wouldn’t be completely private, but also ideally the bot is kind of discreet and just tells you what you should know based on what you and other people said to it.

Anyways I can’t do all that but I have a simple demo that just puts conversations with other users into the system prompt as context. You can become different users by trying different usernames and see how the system prompt puts it all together.

For example you can send a message as username “mike” and say something like “I’m looking to meet a stranger in LA to get tacos” and then change your username to “bill” And be like “I want to make friends that like mexican food” and then hopefully the bot will mention mike.

As you can see I’m struggling to come up with good examples of what do with this so I built this demo to crowd source ideas! You can change the system prompt to make it any kind of bot, like a dating app or something.
koji would be fine, but I want to stick to 67 column width and I could not do it with this, I think? I use git-cola, instead.
