Omg it’s so snappy

>Of course, they still have to get caught, but it won't be the DA that has to do something about it, it's the defendant's lawyer who will do it.

But unfortunately, this means that anybody who can't afford a good lawyer, will be an easy target for trampling on their rights

I'm not sure if you are being serious or not, but I'm sure the US government is getting useful intelligence out of this as well. The US has an interest in knowing how this happened

> Amazon pioneered hyperscale logistics efficiencies

Actually, I believe that was Walmart as well: >TIMMER: I used to ask my class, I’m talking 1985, “Where is the world’s largest supercomputer?” And the correct answer was, “It’s at the Pentagon.” Okay. “Where is the world’s second largest supercomputer?” Bentonville, Ark. Home of Walmart. They used that computer to track every single item on every single Walmart shelf. That information technology is what revolutionized food marketing. And it was pretty much invented by Walmart.

> Employees are horribly treated, wages suppressed, and all sorts of terrible and abusive practices

We need to make those things illegal and we need to make sure those laws are enforced. This is the greatest downfall of capitalism, morals cannot be enforced by consumers because business operations are completely opaque to them. No company should be able to outcompete another by using such terrible, exploitative practices.

FORTRAN does the same actually

I think the wind at his back is key here. His car was acting like a wind turbine

Floats are still represented in 32 bits, or 64 for doubles

Well the solution is simple, just make a new LLC for each GitHub account you need!

I'm definitely kidding, but unless there is more in there TOS (which I don't intend to read) I don't see why this wouldn't be a workable loophole

Personally, I didn't know about the ( ... commands ... ) > some_file.txt

syntax. Like, I knew about file redirection, but I didn't know you could group commands like that and redirect all their output with one operator. I would have had to do a bunch of appending with `>>`

How?

I think we could just stick with positivity rates and case numbers to figure that out, like we have been doing. Once the vaccines start working their magic, we’ll see it in those metrics. That way we don’t have to try and guess how infectious someone can still be after they have had the vaccine

More like you want users to be able to move their data around, send it, email it, etc, without thinking about 50 files in 10 directories that need to be placed in the right way. Rather just have 1 file with all the relevant data, and any structure you need for that data is embedded in the file itself

How do unions rely on “a steady flow of meat into the grinder?”

Same on mobile safari

Linux is not the only OSS Operating system. OpenBSD, FreeBSD exist, just off the top of my head

Looks useful!

Pro tip, as a professional C/C++ dev, for macros:

Wrap the body in a do-while loop, to force a semicolon after it’s called https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1067226/c-multi-line-mac...

Revisionist history did a really good episode going in depth about all this: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/31-puzzle-rush

It's necessary because normally, when iTerm encounters a BEL character it plays an audio file through the default audio output device. It needs to be patched to instead interact with the device over HID instead.

> cat > Catenate

TIL the words concatenate and catenate exist, although they seem to have almost the same exact meaning

I think the 7th fact is that the Fair Labor Standards Act only requires employees be paid for labor that is "integral and indispensable" to their duties. In hindsight, it really should be something closer to "time spent at the behest of the employer".

A phone would still need a regular battery for normal operation. At that point you can just use for everything

I agree with you.

For some reason, every now and again studies like this -- ones that are interesting but under-researched -- are posted on HN, and I don't get why. People then treat these studies as if they are conclusive evidence of something. Luckily nothing ever comes of it, but still

Looking at the linked src code, there’s lots of mixed tabs/spaces for indent. shudders

Sounds like apple didn't want any competition for in-store ads

Pretty sure you can embed javascript in a PDF document, actually.

The fed is absolutely an agency of the us government: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm

>The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress.

The linked article talks about usage by the military

I think there is also a third option (might be a variant of #1): they are cooperating with the CCP, but the CCP does not value what TikTok provides them very highly, and so they don’t care enough to do much

Interesting. 6.6% seems like a pretty insignificant investment. Does anybody have any idea what 6.6% could really get them?
