The similarities between the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse [1] and the collapse of the original Sunshine Skyway bridge [2] are striking, in their original construction and the pier collision leading to their collapse.

So, "it's ok because everything is owned by Google"? Hmm.
Ask HN: How is YouTube not violating CFAA with aggressive anti-adblock attacks?
With all the legal threats and actions YouTube/Google/Alphabet has thrown against things like youtube-dl[1] to kill it because it, "circumvents protections", how are they _exempt_ from doing the same? Creating damage to a user's browser so it cannot play videos in order to extort a user for ad and subscription money sure sounds like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)[2]:(7) with intent to...

@dang Would we be able to update the title please?
To clarify the acronym, _Google is already pushing Web Environment Integrity (WEI) into Chromium_
Google is already pushing WEI (web DRM) into Chromium

Disappointing to see such a 180 on 'don't be evil'.
I'm recommending Mozilla Firefox to all friends and family.

Creator here, it’d be great when you have a few min to please share your feedback and feature requests. It’s built with p5js, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Happy to answer other questions too, and I’ll do my best to keep up with this thread over the next few hours.
Show HN: Duotone image filter to show your support for Ukraine
https://www.ukrainespirit.art/
This duotone art project is inspired by the stories coming out of Ukraine when they were first invaded. Being outside the conflict itself and wanting to help, my thinking was along the lines of, “How can I demonstrate my support for Ukraine and get involved?”Well, creating an image filter seemed like a good way to do that.I’ve been learning to _paint_ with p5, and was experimenting with pixel...

We're agile too, and don't count stand-ups or sprint reviews. I wonder if this is more related to agile/scrum vs waterfall?
Thanks, I'll add that to the original post.

Thanks, excessive was my first thought too.
I let that happen exactly once before bringing it up to my supervisor. According to him, seems like it's at least across our dept (IT/software dev).
The history sounds like it didn't use to be an issue until they moved into a giant 'open office' with very few walls/rooms. What normally would've been a quick conversation in someone's office turns into booking a meeting room, and the mentality turns into, "Might as well invite XYZ too because now it's a meeting."

We've discussed as a team too, cost clock sounds like an interesting idea.
So far, we've just started filing our calendar with bogus 'private meetings' so we can get stuff done. I can't see working for 'big corp' type companies forever, and I do like the experience so far -more learning about 'big corp' world.

Thanks, that's more on par from my past experiences.
We're full agile on the software side, so teams are mixed positions with at least one business-y person (~1000 ppl company).
Ask HN: How much of your time is spent in meetings?
If you're a developer for a 'big corp' how much of your time (% or hrs) a week is spent in meetings?At a new 'big corp' job, and the amount of meetings seems far larger than other employers. To the point of a meeting every other hour, killing productivity. Hoping to get a better understanding of what would be considered normal/average in large organizations.Aside from an all employees...
