It is more that labor protections in most of the industrialized world actually mean something, such that this sort of behavior is generally not even to be considered an option by an employer.

> (I assume Amish has a large corpus)

Pennsylvania Dutch does not, it is primarily oral and the Amish generally don't allow themselves to be photographed or recorded.

Zero trust or bust. I actually cringed when I read "done right" applied to split-horizon DNS.

Yes, they solve the problem that you called the company.

RTO has always been about cheap layoffs so yeah, of course they'd do this.

I hike at night fairly regularly and use either a dim red light or no light at all. I'm willing to bet that most people don't have any idea how good their fully dark adapted night vision actually is, especially with any sort of moonlight. The bigger problem I've found are bright lights that just blow out your night vision entirely. It only takes a few seconds to undo 30-40 minutes of adaptation.

Yeah there's a Pho place in Seattle I'd go to lunch at (iykyk) where we'd regularly have 20 people at a table and pay individually. But they didn't even use the check for that, they'd just ask what you had and ring that in as they went around the table with the handheld. Literally the only place I've ever seen that even offered to split a check at a table with more than 3-4 people.

> But when 6 people simultaneously tried to pay their share of the bill, chaos ensued.

I'm guessing the author has never worked as a server themselves... Is there any part of the world you can have a six top with individual checks when you didn't tell them up front to split the bill? As an American this just seems obvious to me but maybe the expectation is different in Dubai.

It was also designed by European engineers, not in Michigan. Not saying that's the reason the Focus is more reliable than a Taurus but they didn't follow the "typical" Ford design process at the time for that vehicle. For what it is worth I owned a 1992 Taurus and it left me stranded more times than I can count. Just some of the issues I had were a water pump that exploded and a seized A/C compressor.

I see this question as akin to "do I really need to learn basic flight skills when my A320 has autopilot?". Yes. Yes, you do. For exactly the same reasons. AI is workload reduction the same way that autopilot is workload reduction when used as intended.

Science is evil and must be destroyed at all costs.

> In the early 2020s Texas was luring in remote workers

And not a single one of the people I know that moved there want to still live there. ymmv I guess

compare to https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distr...

rest of america == bottom 50%

hedge funders, fascist VCs, etc == 50-90%

walton children == 90-99%

elon bezos == 99.9%

Highly recommend the book Fixing Your Feet if you found this useful, it is a gold mine of helpful info. I used to get really awful blisters even on short hikes but after applying some of the lacing techniques from this book I don't get blisters at all.

Thanks, I needed a laugh. Only on HN...

So the numbers will need adjusted for inflation. Eventually. Like any other tax. If you're making an argument it is entirely unclear what your position is.

Sure yeah, all those middle class families with second homes in New York City. Right.

Nobody affected by this is middle class. Nobody that will be affected by this in the next 20 years would be considered middle class by any rational measure.

"Separation" seems like clear bad faith to me as well. Alberta as an independent country? Yeah right, they'd pull a Texas for sure.

I also work at Amazon and my coworkers are playing 20 questions every morning to keep their metrics up. Like anything else there it depends on your org & managers.

That is pretty much my existence at $MAJOR_TECH_COMPANY now. Inexperienced security engineers running bots against my codebase and sending me pages long tickets with their "findings". There might be a couple of interesting nuggets here and there but by and large the reports are just noise. This churn is actively taking away from my ability to actually respond to customer-impacting issues because "security is always our top priority".

There isn't one.

Thanks, I hate it.

What are the practical, legitimate use cases for buying domains at scale? I really can't think of a single one. I can however think of quite a few nefarious ones.

not anymore!

Because stuff like the Bullet Cluster exists. Dark matter is in fact the simplest answer.

> I've worked in the aerospace industry for the past 8 years, and for most of that time I felt like I could confidently say that RF engineering felt like it was a quiet, non evolving field.

Not an EE myself but honestly baffled how the author got that impression with the huge expansion of RF engineering in the consumer space - particularly with 3/4/5G/LTE networks and 802.1x. Maybe this is just an artifact of working on building weapons (i.e. defense) and being in the US?

Really shows where our priorities are at as a country. SMH

yes NFC and with an e-ink display no battery needed from there

Yes.

Any time I see rounded corners on a PCB I know someone put love into that board. Well done
