"In particular why poorer Americans hate them, which is an affront to their own self interests."

Except, it's not always an affront to their self interest. Unions increase wages for their members, not people who aren't in unions. This then tends to increase the cost of the goods they provide.

Unions tend to reduce overall employment, favoring the already employed over the unemployed. They reduce job flexibility, as benefits are often tied to long term attachment to a single company. Unions make the companies more vulnerable to outsourcing. Finally, the public employee unions in the US have conspired with politicians to enact defined benefit pensions that are bankrupting many localities- a problem of short term thinking. Unions essentially create a government sponsored monopoly on labor supply, restricting both workers and companies, which is fundamentally in conflict with the values of economic liberty upon which the country was founded.

I accidentally euthanised my father because I misunderstood the conversation I was having with a nurse. He had a stroke and was in intensive care, we were told he probably wouldn't live - and if he did - he'd require care for the rest of his life. He had fallen into a coma when the nurse kept asking me if I thought he was in pain and needed more morphine. She kept giving him more, returning to ask the same question and doing it over and over. I can't remember how many times. He began Cheyne–Stokes breathing, and eventually died.

I remember feeling strange about the situation, and years later I connected the dots between the amount of morphine given, the breathing (symptomatic of morphine overdose), and his subsequent death. Understanding that I was responsible was something that took a long time to cope with.

My mother faced terminal cancer a few years ago, and I found myself in exactly the same situation. Thankfully I understood what was happening. The decision to take her off fluids and to "help her along," was made by a team of medical staff with myself deeply involved in the discussion (which looking back, was a desperate attempt for me to negotiate any way I could for her life). At least Mum understood she was going to die, and I'm glad my eyes were open to what was happening.

I feel that the economics of hospital beds have a lot to do with this. Beds in the oncology ward are in demand, as of those in intensive care. I've seen all of my families previous generation die of cancer in either in the same way - in hospital, in oncology or intensive care, always assisted death.

It makes me think that if I ever go down that road I don't want to be anywhere near the medical industrial complex.
> the Korean War had ended only 3 years earlier, confirming many people's fears that the Soviets were willing to implement Communism by force

Can you elaborate? Wouldn't the Korean War confirm the West was willing to stop Communism by force, even against the will of the majority of the people in the target country? (Of course, both things can be simultaneously true).

Not you; you seem to just be making up a series of random reasons that people might do things off the top of your head, and using them as some sort of evidence that listening to people who actually spoke to and surveyed the effected people and the people who work with them is equally as worthless as what you're saying.

Look at .NET Core. It's the new much slimmer runtime that works on OS X, Linux and Windows (and ARM, etc).

> I'm not against GMO, but one thing that I think is a fallacy is the choice between GMO and heavily-pesticided products.

You're right, I made a false dichotomy there, sorry about that.

There is at least a third choice here (non GMO, no pesticides) but it costs a lot more money, so it's not viable for farmers or anyone involved in mass producing tons of crops each year.
Younger US cities aren't designed for walking so yes it looks weird when you're walking around.

I don't know anything about Atlanta but in Arizona, per parent comment's story, for example, it's strange to see people walking around because it's way too hot in 80% of the state to walk around for leisure. On top of that, the towns are so spread out that it makes no sense to walk from point A to point B.

So if people are walking around, they're doing so aimlessly in a climate that is not really conducive to doing so. It seems reasonable to think they're either in trouble or up to trouble.

What are the most-cited publications in the social sciences?
Generally speaking: You need someone you trust, who is at (or above) the level you're hiring for, to screen candidates for you. Just put them in the same room together and let them have a conversation for an hour or two.

A non-technical person screening a technical person is generally not a good idea. It doesn't matter what prepackaged barrage of tests you put them through, or what saas product you make them sign up for. Most engineers know how to sound like they know what they're talking about, and how to craft their past experiences to sound relevant to your position. Only another engineer can tell if all that talk is meaningful or not.

This leaves many startups in a rough position: How does a CEO screen their tech co-founder? How do front-end developers screen a backend guy? And this is where your network comes in. Call in favors, ask around. Find someone who is employed doing the job you're hiring for (or ideally a more senior version of it), and ask them to do the screen for you. Don't give in to the temptation to screen them yourself (if you're not technical), there's really no point in it.

Further, a nuclear war in 1956 would have been far from total. The balance of nuclear forces was absurdly lopsided until maybe the late 1960s. For example, if the Cuban Missile Crisis had gone hot, the USSR would have been utterly destroyed, while the US might have lost a few major cities. Not something you ever want to happen, obviously, but it wouldn't even destroy the country, let alone the species. 1956 would have been even more lopsided. Hard information was difficult to come by, and it didn't help that the USSR worked hard to inflate perceptions of its own capabilities (e.g. Khrushchev saying that they were pumping out ICBMs like sausages, when they had almost none).
Walking is, I think, a combination of habit and culture.

Both sets of my grandparents, from opposite ends of the country, used to walk quite a lot without any real purpose for doing so. They did this well into their 80s, and so did their friends. It seemed just to be something they did, and always had done.

My parents, by contrast, almost never walk when they can drive, and will often drive to a park to let their dog off rather than walk her there and back. Many of my friends are the same. One goes so far as to drive five minutes, then deals with parking and paying for it, to get his lunch every day rather than simply walking for the same length of time -- he spends more time in traffic in his car than actually moving.

One colleague of mine at my last job was amazed that I walked from the train station to the office -- a walk of less than 10 minutes at a brisk pace; it didn't even occur to her to ask about how I'd covered the mile-and-a-half from my home to the train station at the other end. My total commute was about the same distance as hers, but it took me less time, cost me slightly less, and got me some exercise into the bargain.

Some evenings, my fiancée and I would go for a walk of a couple of miles just to get out of the house, or to enjoy warm weather, or just because.

Since leaving that job, I walk less overall. I also have a dog, now, the walking of whom replaced most of the purposeless walking I used to do in the evenings. Most of my walking, now, has 'purpose' because it's exercising the dog, or taking her out for toilet breaks.
There are many non-union shops that would have done the same thing after your fall.

In fact, I'd wager to say almost all of them with more than a handful of employees. (Mom and Pop places may have you "walk it off", but beyond that, through a combination of genuine concern for employees and HR/Safety policies, you'd be attended to.)

The advent of the internet and social media meant that the generation of current people in their 20s saw much more of what different people lived like as an example. They could stumble into early retirement, vagabonding, yoga, libertarian-ideology, psychology research, startups, furries, and many other lifestyle and thought pattern choices that led to much more ability to choose both their purpose and their action steps for the future earlier. This means that a lot of lessons that were delayed for earlier generations with less variation of choices presented are now hitting earlier.

More choices may lead to less satisfaction:

These are functions, it doesn't get any simpler than that and it doesn't require learning anything new once you know the language.

Macros are over engineered in comparison since they force the developer to learn a whole new section of the language with its own rules and own compilation lifecycle.

This is why hardly anyone uses macros these days and why most language are embracing the Groovy/Kotlin approach to writing DSL's.

You're also missing out on the legal landscape. I can't recall the case, but back in the 50s (or maybe the 60s, I'm too lazy to go look it up), there was a supreme court decision that said that American unions have to support with full vigor the claims of every member. Before that point, management and unions could agree that certain people were just knuckleheads without any chance of redemption. After that point, management and unions had a decidedly more antagonistic relationship.

IIRC (and again, too lazy to look this up), it was a PoC that brought the suit because many unions were automatically inclined to agree with management that a PoC was a knucklehead.

Study: Speaking Multiple Languages Staves Off Dementia
Theoretically, it's just as fast as frame-based exception handling which follows pointers up the stack. However, things that might impact the performance are things like code locality. For example, if the exceptional code hasn't been loaded into memory since it hasn't been needed, your program will need to stall while the code is loaded into memory.

So basically, assume it is fast as hell (zero-cost) until you hit an exceptional case (so don't use exceptions for flow control.) In fact, I no longer use exceptions at all. I just "make a note and move on". Having objects that don't cause catastrophic failures when they are "null" is a good first step.
You're not saying that it's not whitewashing so much as you're saying racebending is OK. And of course it is. Because changing the race and cultural background of characters can subtly change the meaning and context of the piece.

Except for the separate issue of majority cultures erasing minority peoples. Now, Japan is not a minority culture, it is a nation-state. But why is it always (in American media) that Asian characters are made white and never white characters made Asian?

I hope and suspect that this is addressed in the movie, that Kusanagi has taken a white body for reasons.
The two authors that have helped me the most are Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman. They disagree about some things:

Dave hates credit, doesn't think you need a credit score. Suze suggests ways to boost your credit score, and thinks that's important.

Dave says to save up a 6-month emergency fund only after you pay off your debt, Suze says save up an 8-month emergency fund ASAP.

A few other smaller differences. Dave has specific steps you can take, Suze is more general advice.

I'd recommend reading them both and combining their programs into something that works for you.

That article left much unanswered.

One side thought is that I really wonder what the societal implications are of life-stage depression shifting down to a younger age, coupled with a massive generational cohort (millennials) all entering that life phase at the same time. What effect does a collective wave of people all feeling hopeless at once have on our culture?
Intents don't work because they were designed to be too flexible.

Say I want to be able to share something on social media from my app, seems like the exact use-case Intents were made for. So I create an intent of type ACTION_SEND because that's the only one that sorta does what I need and now my user gets a HUGE list of options, half of which are irrelevant and/or don't work at all. I cannot limit the Intent to 'share on social media' because it has no such category. You cannot filter the list yourself because that would mean having to know the package name of every possible social media app.

Worse, even the well known social media apps do not work. No one agrees on what fields should mean what and how to interpret them. For example: you can create an intent that prefills the text and attaches a photo and it will work when you use it to open Twitter but not Facebook, facebook ignores the pre-filled text. Another app will ignore the photo, etc. you can't test every possible target app so the whole mechanism is unusable if you want to deliver a good UX. In the end you give up and just add the Facebook and Twitter SDK's to your app.

Another example: we have an app that deals with privacy-sensitive information. We want the user to be able to e-mail this to him/herself but nothing else. Or rather: we don't want our users to accidentally share this information on social media. You cannot create an Intent that will only open the users preferred email client and excludes everything else.

Intents are pretty much worthless if you care about a good UX at all.

Union Wages are very good in NY. The migratory non-uinion crews that did liner install where quite happy getting the union wages that were required on the site.

There were a few people (equipment operators) that definitely used the union for cover and would just disappear at noon exactly for lunch, no matter what was going on, actually causing more work.
When he was let go, he was at the gate watching to make sure nobody used the same equipment for a week (A rule to prevent short term layoffs and rehires).

Mostly pretty hard working people, doing physical labor, stuff you wouldn't want to do after 50. The laborers had training on site sometime, to keep skills up.

That may explain why they're not interested in one specific union. It doesn't explain why they haven't joined another, or started their own.

> The problem with this being a secret, behind-the-scenes thing is that there's plenty of scope of serial killers.

How large is the serial killer market? How about a Tinder-like app[1] that matches serial killers to hospice patients on a morphine-only contract. The 'killers' get to pay a fee[2], and part of it goes to the clients' estate.

It's not necessarily the lack of physical attractiveness that's a problem -- more so the lack of social awareness in exhibiting such "high status" behaviors as a "low-status" person, as mentioned in the paper ("People who follow social rules of behavior are not perceived as creepy").

It's more socially acceptable for unattractive yet wealthy/high-status people to perform such behaviors, as this can be explained by considering them "eccentric" or "confident" rather than "weird" or "creepy".

This is the argument I can't solve.

With union = No merit based pay. Protection for the incompetent. Worst and best teacher make identical pay, and both are near impossible to fire.

Without union = race to the bottom. Where a union car assembly plant may pay workers $25 an hour, a non-union plant pays workers $10 an hour. We can't as a nation survive with so many jobs paying $10 an hour or less.

So what is the actual right path? How do you get fair pay for all workers, but not promote and protect the lazy and the incompetent?
