> “This is Amazon’s biggest fear,” said Andy Powell, a district organizer for the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers who is trying to organize Amazon fulfillment center workers in Delaware and several nearby states. “The minute one falls and people see they got a better deal, it’s going to be a cancer for them.”

That's a cynical way to phrase it. You'd think a union organizer would describe their union like a medicine, not a cancer.

Original was:

The tone seems different to me.

Couldn't SF enact a law to make it illegal to sleep on the streets? To not give an address to the police (could be a hotel room, etc), when asked?

Then make a deal with some other place that has lots of cheap land that they handle the people who gets arrested for this (for a fee), which is still cheaper than rent in SF.

Can confirm, my Facebook timeline is very depressing as someone in their late 20ties.

Sure it might only be ~5% of my friends who are travelling, starting companies, etc but it does create a vague sense of background stress that I'm wasting my time not knowing what my "passion" is and just working a 9-5ish job with 5 - 8 weeks of vacation a year.

It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it but it seems to be human nature.
I think it's obvious: human beings are omnivores, and an all-plant diet involves a constant struggle against our physical desires. I don't actually think that's necessarily a bad thing if conducted for the correct reasons, but I also find it unsurprising that so few undertake it.

What I do find surprising is that so few people hunt. Hunting is something else which is in our nature, and it's fun.
I met her once at Google I/O, and it wasn't a pleasant interaction. I was lamenting how the recent (at the time) switch from USB Mass Storage to MTP made file transfers to and from computers very iffy. (And it's still pretty iffy today.) I was asking why the change was made, and if there was a chance at the option for it being restored, as devices used to allow both.

A lot of times, files on the Android device don't show up properly in Windows Explorer. She asked what I was doing, and I said copying APK files. (I regularly used to backup APKs so I could revert software updates which degraded the experience.)

She immediately stated that they "didn't support piracy" and walked off. As if the process of sideloading APKs or transferring them to and from a PC was somehow automatically illicit activity, rather than... something a lot of developers probably do regularly.

Norton Guides. A similar TSR that also included a compiler for building your own guides. I remember one popular one was the Ralph Brown Interrupt List. I think about this tool a lot, but I think IDE's with auto completion and showing parameters has largely replaced the need. But using NG, still seems faster than having to launch an IDE help system or doing a google search.

Question - how to have buble accept input from stdin and output to stdout? This is useful for quick ES6 tests and chaining piped output.

I'm not against unions, I'm against public sector unions.

Private sector unions can do whatever they want. Let them strike, collective bargain, walk out, sit in. The damage is isolated, the dollars involved are relegated to business owners and workers, and there's competition on both sides of the equation.

Public sector unions are were the trouble is at. Government work stoppages[1] are bullshit as are unfunded future concessions that will have to be paid by our children's children.

Both parents and wife are teachers, all are at odds with their unions, but are still forced to pay dues to an organization they'd prefer not speak on their behalf. I don't see much of a need for unions anymore (note: anymore - they obviously hold a very important place in US history) as long as the government is actively involved and enforcing things like OSHA. I am also strongly for universal healthcare and maternity leave, to name a couple issues which would solve a lot of what unions are in place for.

I understand what the Chamber of Commerce thinks, but do you have any references, or any information independent of them? And by this, I don't mean a reference to the existence of a bad union or a bad union incident, or stories about how your dad told you that every meeting was a bunch of blind drunks voting down training and making up new holidays.

You're making a claim of prevalence, it'd be interesting to know where you got that opinion from.
I recently got a Windows 10 laptop and decided not to install Flash, because this is 2016 and we should be over Flash by now.

Bad idea. Despite everyone's "death to flash" mantra, the same people banging the drum still rely on it.

I tried to load Google Play Music in Firefox. The site immediately tells me I need Flash. I tried going into my settings and enable the "Experimental HTML5 Player" in the labs section, but it was mysteriously greyed out.

I then tried Amazon Prime's music player to the same result: flash only.
Not to defend large telcos, god knows i hate them myself, but one of the big differences between the US and Europe (besides us being drooling, knee-biting, mollified king-and-celebrity worshiping consumers with no comprehension of the meaning of our own rights) is geography. Historically, networks of all kinds, including energy and data have a longer gradient to reach rural areas which necessarily incur larger costs and more capital to roll out. I think this should be factored into it, but accounts for less than 50% of the difference. We're friendlier to monopolies ("Hey! They earned it! dur") in the U.S., too.
Is that not the same as what GP said? Your modifier is wealth or status. Without those, you move from eccentric to creepy on the sliding scale.
I disagree. There are a few cases where a number is more expressive - I even think MISRA has exemptions for 1, 0 and FF.

But in most cases what I want is not the number, it's the _meaning_ of the number. Be it the Command ID, ram block Address or whatever it is. Generally, having code sprinkled with magic numbers is pretty shitty.

In my view:

a = a<<18;
a |= b<<8;
a |= c;

is a kosher use of numbers. But

case(ChoiceID):
switch 1:
/* Do somethin'*/
break;
switch 26:
/* Do somethin' else*/
break;
default:
break;

is not. Generally, numbers are ok as long as you express mathematical ideas nut not ok when you express logical ideas.
One problem with getting rid of public sector unions is if you try to get rid of them all at once on a federal level, that lets them pick their symbolic battleground. They will probably choose Memphis, where Dr. King died supporting the right of public sanitation workers to form a union.

It would be common sense to pay a bounty. Similar to the reward you should get if you find somebody's wallet. If you are known for not paying a bounty (a finder reward) some people will not tell you your security holes (will not give you back your wallet).

On the long run this will be more expensive than the bounty. But the problem might be that if the would pay a bounty, they would admit that the screwed it, what their lawyers would like to prevent.
Your criticism is like if someone said "Using cryptography you can securely store any information you don't want anyone else but yourself to see", and you criticize it by saying "You can also store information you want others to see using cryptography".

> I like how they try to portray the idea that that American journalism isn't on the constant advocacy path because I cannot recall a time they are not.

This is important--and you can see it on the issue of homelessness itself. Journalists' failure to cover homelessness may (charitably) have been borne of a desire for neutrality, but failure to cover an issue is not necessarily neutral in effect. If homeless is, objectively, a serious problem, the failure to cover it is a form of tacit (though inadvertent) support.

It's just that ones motives are harder to discern and, thus, one's actions are more readily justified when one does nothing. When one does something, the universe of justifications narrows dramatically, and there's no escaping the fact that the world will be able to see and evaluate your motives.
Without caricaturing the position of bosses and unions, and constant good faith consultation and negotiation between them. And, honestly, a larger percentage of profits and productivity gains going to workers, instead of owners. If you haven't noticed, neither unions nor workers are winning; see Piketty.

I'm not sure it has anything to do with empathy. You can empathize with somebody else's need to either work alone or work with other people, but that doesn't really change anything. Pair programmers still need people to talk to and no matter how quiet they are they will always hamper the efforts of those who need silence.

Something that doesn't often get mentioned is it also works the other way around: if the quiet programmers exert their influence over the open office so it's quiet, that hampers the efforts of those who need to verbalize to think. The "oppression" goes both ways.

I'm not naive. I don't think companies will ever go back to individual offices for everyone. But putting a soundproof barrier down the center of a bullpen is doable. One side is for the loud folks, the other for the quiet ones. Everyone can hop from one side to the other as needed.

I think this is great. I wanted to use F# instead of Julia for numerical computing, but all the benchmarks only had F# on mono, because they couldn't benchmark with the closed source MS stuff.

My (limited) experience with unions in Germany and my (also, fortunately, limited) experience with unions in the US were far different. From that (limited/anecdotal) experience, I'd say that unions in Germany were a far better thing than what I saw in the US.

It might just be that you are from a place where the origin, organizational principles, incentives and co-dependent relationship with select politicians are "better" than they are in the US.

> I want to be able to program while walking...

That's why Google glasses got me excited, as it's a step towards that direction. I don't see this being too viable until I can control the computer with my thoughts, though, so we need the microchip in the brain (or something similar) still too.

But then I could work outside, walk while working, not be tethered to a desk or table all day. Can't wait for that time, hopefully it's not much more than a decade away.

One hour of above moderate walk will do wonders. If you have subtly wild natural spots to go through, it's guaranteed. Japanese researchers are looking into the benefits of forest walking. There's a subtle complexity in non human processed places that tickle our senses in deep ways. It's as stressing as massaging.
I work on a very popular app in Latin America. That means we get to experience every single edge case in the eco system. My favorite quirk has been that for some reason I will never understand when an app goes into a full screen ad it can make your main activity eligible for GC. That means that you don't get any of your Activity life cycle events. Just a lone finalize and your app is gone. Then when the video ad is done you get a truly spectacular crash!

Sadly, I have a half dozen different ways activities have found to explode themselves. It makes me sad!
That's a false dilemma. Break time is break time, and it's probably better to take it away from your desk for a variety of reasons, no matter how productive you want to be.

However, open plan offices make it so work time is always noisy and you have to work to avoid making eye contact with others. That's going to make it much harder to be productive, regardless of how much productivity one desires to achieve. Employees who prefer chit-chat to productive work are going to prefer open offices because it decreases productivity on the whole, which means they'll have to compete less with others to appear useful, and because it makes it much easier to start a conversation and otherwise engage in non-work social activity.

To clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with preferring chit-chat to productivity per se (again acknowledging that this is the preference of the vast majority of employed persons), especially when management is sending a clear endorsement of that perspective by literally removing all barriers in the office and throwing everyone into a giant single room. I'm just saying the people who are usually annoyed by open plan offices are usually people who come to work to concentrate on a task and get it accomplished, rather than people who come to work mainly for the external social engagement.

This all depends on where you are. German employers commonly extend the agreements to the non-unionized to keep people from joining the union for this reason alone.
Resisting arrest means you haven't been arrested yet. If he was already under arrest then he couldn't resist it. He was being detained. If he were under arrest then there's procedure to that which has to be followed. But while being detained if one were to be argumentative then it could change from being detained to being under arrest, which then resisting arrest comes into play.

But that's just arguing over semantics that typically don't come up at the court hearing. People get charged with non-relevant crap all the time to trump up the charges.
