Err isn't there social benefit to having better priced insurance? I don't understand your position here.

Can't imagine the pressure he is under, but also can't see how this is remotely appropriate for someone in his position. Reminds me of that time he cut off that analyst during the earnings report.

If the accusation he made has some type of evidence behind it, then this was not the way to present it. If not, and it was just an insult, gosh what a petty, immature thing to say.

Large companies actually enforce this fairly well.

For instance, there is software on employees' computers which will hard shutdown the computer after a couple warnings. Companies which offer transport for employees have curtailed bus service from last departure at 12am to last departure at around 9pm.

It is implemented in a fairly interesting way though. Before the new regulation, the overtime policies were calculated on a weekly basis. Now it is done on monthly basis. I think this is done to allow you to 'burst' above the 52h limit in some weeks while staying in compliance on monthly basis.

Note that companies will deduct an hour a day for breaks whether you use it or not. So even a 52h week can mean 52+5=57/5=11.4h per day. So 5 straight nearly 12h days is technically not considered overtime.

What do you think would be a more appropriate response for someone in his position?

Yikes!! I understand mistakes happen, but what an absolute betrayal of trust

Edge DCs only have one type of machine (1E) and no block storage, but I think are otherwise the same.

Even in core DCs though the availability of different types of machines varies.

Love packet.net btw -- the bgp stuff is really game changing.

Was it botched? I'm not sure the intention was to ever run Motorola as a going concern. After selling the cable/home biz, cash on hand, deferred taxes, and selling the phone biz to Lenovo, they lost just $3.5B. But they kept all of the patents, defending Android from legal assaults into the future.

Pretty good deal IMO.

I'm not sure if I agree.

One can rationally argue that the death penalty for murderers is unjust, while at the same time maintaining that coaching people on how to murder without penalty is disturbing and wrong.

Well, it is one thing to make the statement that penalties for the possession of such material are unjust. There are several compelling arguments to make for that case.

On the other hand, it is deeply disturbing that this guy is publishing directions on how to securely store these materials in a way to evade law-enforcement in such a specific manner. I hope and suspect that there will be a thorough investigation of this guy's activities.

Separately, it is unbelievable that such a controversial and conspicuous PSA could go unnoticed for over two years! Wow.

You might remember that the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon Bombing were Chechen.

I say this not because I think we should screen Chechens more thoroughly now, but because your original appeal to profiling at the border is provably ineffective and, frankly, ignorant.

Actually you do get them all at once I believe! The current mechanism is a lottery which is executed in early April. It could be replaced with an auction as you propose.

I wonder how they are coming up with the region names? Most are cities (Sao Paolo, Frankfurt), some are countries (Ireland), some regions (N. Virginia, Oregon).

This new region is unique in that is does not refer to an actual place, and that the name alone is not descriptive (in the AWS console, it says just "Central" in the header).

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that there wasn't some targeted attack on their infrastructure.

Even if there was though, isn't it incumbent on DT to provide a level of infrastructure that is resilient to these types of attacks?

Further, they don't even appear to share any evidence of an attack, just that they "can't rule it out".

No conspiracy theory, just feel like we've seen lines like this more often recently.

  and it could not rule out "targeted external factors" as the reason

Yes, and DT could also not rule out extra-terrestrial interference. But who cares?

It seems any large-scale enterprise incident is blamed on some other nebulous third-party these days (Russia, 400 lb men in their beds..) in order shift blame elsewhere.

Do the general public see through this?

I don't think the parent is saying that Trump is literally Hitler, but rather that his rhetoric targeting specific minorities is alarmingly similar to that of Hitler's and his National-Socialist party during their rise to power.

No doubt the Holocaust was one of the most horrific crimes ever committed -- should we not then be all the more vigilant in preventing such similar hate speech from entering the mainstream?

What about AMP prevents ad blocking? Wouldn't blocking be trivial since all ads are in a special AMP/HTML element (<amp-ad>)?

There's actually a pretty long tradition of agricultural cartels throughout Canada.

On taxes, I'm sure somebody on HN knows better than me, but you are rarely 'double-taxed' under 200k as you say. The first 90k or so is exempt, plus any foreign tax you pay you can claim as a non-refundable deduction on your US return.

Singapore is an amazing country that is really geared towards making things easy for expats. The chewing gum thing is a bit of a red-herring. Ending up in jail for a minor offence is not something you generally have to worry about.

I might be wrong, but I don't suspect that forex plays a large part. The NHL has both a salary cap and a salary floor (the cap -$16M) denominated in USD. Further, between 2009 and just earlier this year, the CAD was at par or stronger than the USD for most of the time.

I looked at some data [1] which shows that CA teams have an average salary ~5% lower than their US counterparts. The 2 teams with the lowest salaries are American.

You are right that the Americans have all our best players though. More than 50% of NHL players are Canadian, followed by ~25% American, and ~8% Swedish.

"You cannot charge while you are connected to..."

I hear this repeated a lot but I don't believe it is true. You could either:

1) Connect to a monitor or other USB-C peripheral that supports sending power down USB-C, or

2) Use an adaptor that exposes HDMI or USB3, and also provides a USB-C passthrough like:

I realise that it is inconvenient, but I think its misleading to repeat the same inaccuracy over and over.
