I'm working on a startup that does this. Right now, we are in the attorney network recruitment stage. But if you contact me, I may be able to mechanical turk a connection for you. Also, I would love to just visit with you about your needs from the client perspective to validate our demand thesis. I'm an attorney so we could do the customer interview under privilege, or if you don't share case details we can do it with the tech team too.

But when "temps" can be employed for 10+ years in the same role with the same host company, is that model still true?

with the igpu and such a nice screen its a shame TB isn't an option. This seems otherwise perfect for work-on-the-go and plugging into a eGPU at home in the evenings.

Can you point to explicit guidance for this (legit. interest as insufficient for electronic mktg)? I'd love to see a reference as we're having this discussion internally.

Or, stated similarly: “Inequality is only a problem for the wealthy in so much that it leads to higher crime rates and (eventually) civil instability in places where its most inconvenient for the wealthy.

In my area, where relative humidity is often 60-90%, this form of drying would result in moldy cloth, not dry diapers. My guess is Tampa's microclimate is probably similar and line drying isn't an option.

This article was from Tampa Bay, Florida. Different states have very different social services nets. And it also varies by metro area. Also, prices are often (perversely) cheaper for basics like food, gas, and diapers in wealthy areas vs poor areas.

Bear in mind that we segment our activity more in "modern" society. For example, in agrarian societies you didn't need to carve out time for exercise. Work was exercise. You also didn't need to carve out time for child care, because children worked alongside adults much of the time. And commuting wasn't really an issue when workplaces and residences were in the same community with minimal geographic separation.

It's our societal lifestyle that has demanded separate time for separate activities, resulting in a need for a greater than 24-hour day.

The study's budget was only $1m. Seems like the readership of HN could easily pull that money together and donate the funding, if the researchers could accept it.

I’m not convinced that the headline properly represents the content. I think it’s unfair to imply that the characteristic of introversion is correlated to a deficit in the ability to process emotional input in realtime. I would consider myself highly introverted, but I don’t identify at all with the emotional reaction of the author.

It’s possible that in his specific situation he is both introverted and highly emotionally responsive. But it’s a logical fallacy to then extrapolate that connection to other individuals with only one of those attributes.

I like the sentiment behind this article, but simplification (like lossy compression) omits information for the cause of simplicity, leading to an incomplete understanding.

Take for example legal concepts like securities law or environmental regulation. Yes, you can "simplify" an explanation of the Securities Act or the Paris Accord enough to fit them into a tweet, but you lose information necessary to formulating a full understanding.

If you're trying to have an informed debate about policy adoption, the details matter.

I'd hazard a guess that most HN readers are early adopters. This is a perspective from the opposite. If you're making a software product there's a very good chance that 20-60% of your user base is going to come from these self-identified "low end" users. I didn't upvote the OP, but it's valuable to surface this kind of perspective occasionally, if for no reason other than to remind us that the people that consume readers' services may be coming from a different perspective than we do.

While this may be true, I'd trust Amazon more than the various Chinese camera makers that offer cloud connected streaming and storage. Heck, I'd trust them more than my own ability to secure a vulnerability-laden home router that AT&T manages and probably never patches.

Why does this need its own thread? (Other than ego-stroking the OP) Seems like any response could be in the main thread or linked from there rather than splitting the discussion.

I'm pretty sure Lexis and Westlaw don't own the text of published cases or statutes. They do own the headnotes which are commonly seen in printed and electronic reporters.

This resignation is very bad for consumers. I'd hoped that Wheeler would stick it out and at least be present to bring consumer perspectives to the discussion and get consumer concerns on the record in commission meetings. But I can understand why he wouldn't personally want to finish out his term as a lame duck dissenter.

How do I get my data out of instapaper, if I don't want Pinterest using my reading history for targeting me or sharing with their data brokers?

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

There are no mass-market thunderbolt GPUs with fully-functional mac drivers at this point, are there? I've been looking and at best there are unsupported hacks.

Agree. HR is often not the employee's ally in this situation. Their goal is to protect the company from claims and repetitional harm. Sometimes this aligns with the employee's best interest, sometimes not.

Presuming, of course, that the wealthy were in fact the ones who earned that wealth initially versus receiving it generationally. You might see a different distribution on earners versus maintainers.

In theory, a NSL still requires a good faith belief by the issuing agency that the recipient possesses information relevant to a national security matter. That's not to say agencies couldn't use them maliciously, but it would require implying deliberate malice or deception on the part of the human agent who decided to issue the fraudulent NSL. Then again, any organization over a certain size is likely to have some conversation in their records that could be deemed nominally relevant.

Outside the all writs act, parties generally can't be compelled to perform activities by the court that they don't already perform in the course of business. So this is significant (warrant or otherwise) because it's the court asking apple to create a process de novo that didn't exist before.

The problem is that once created, it would be easier for future warrants to ask Apple to simply re-perform the same trick it's done in the past. Apple's core argument is that allow this once opens the door to doing it repeatedly because right now Apple doesn't have the toolchain to do this. Once the toolchain exists, its deployment is trivial.

The one vulnerability to this model is integrations. Spam filters have become good enough that I seldom see true spam in my email. It's all the ham - automated garbage, purchase confirmations, and newsletters that I've been opted into that clog up my box.

If Slack admins go crazy on integrations, you can still get a lot of low-value notifications. In our instance, we only run integrations into topic-specific channels (such as a channel for system notifications) so it's manageable.

But I can see that changing as the scope of integrations grow.
