CUPW, which represents about 55,000 mail workers, has pushed back on the idea of a membership vote on the latest offer. The union accused the employer of being "not serious about meaningful arbitration" in a bulletin sent to members Tuesday.

Is a vote a bad thing?

Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

Hey gang, I'm considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That's way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?

Bill 10, which holds landlords criminally liable for any drug activity on their properties, became law on June 4th.

Bill 10, put forward by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, passed into law on June 4th. Subtitled the Protect Ontario Through Safer Streets and Stronger Communities Act, it includes a clause that would hold landlords criminally liable for any illicit drug activity on their properties. The Schedule 8 clause targets drug trafficking, but also covers any possession that might indicate an intent to sell, even if it's just a few pills or a joint.

Democratic voters prefer a populist message over one that focuses on an "abundance agenda," according to a new poll by Demand Progress.

I have a simple circuit where 5V signal is fed into a buffer (Nexperia 74LVC1G07), then from the buffer into another device. The buffer is fed 5V by a switching DC-DC (R-78HB5.0-0.5/W). After it's been off for a while, the buffer works, the signal is recognized by the receiver. This continues for some time, minutes, to tens of minutes. Then the buffer stops working. The DC-DC still works as well as the source. If I unplug it and let it sit for an hour, it resets back to working for a while until it stops.

Context:

The setup runs on an ebike 36V battery. Theres a hub motor connected to the same battery (via power controller). The signal source is a torque sensor. The destination is a bike computer.

Any idea what could be causing this? I don't know much about electronics. I learn specific bits to do something but I'm ignorant otherwise. E.g. I know what a buffer does, I understand how it works on high level but I have no clue for example how it could be affected by the rest of the system electrically through noise, EMI, etc. My physics intuition here makes me think there must be some charge buildup happening which dissipates with time when turned off. I've no idea if this is remotely valid, or if it is how to fix it. Any ideas are appreciated!
