I worked for ups about 5 years ago and i can for sure say that you are absolutely right about the hand to surface not being used due to package load. I still have friends that work there and now they have to scan packages before they pack them as well. Also the load has gone up. You generally have to load about 200 to 2800 packages over your shift. So its pretty much hell. They also blacklist you if you was seasonal and had to stop working for the company for any reason. So that lowers who can go back as well.
Can somebody please enlighten me, why is this vague post on the front page with no comments and 8 upvotes?
Good points, though I disagree with a few elements.

Overuse of resources is a typical pattern of not only human but nonhuman species. One of the first instances was cyanobacteria, which overused both the then-abundant atmospheric methane source, as well as the sinks of free molecular iron (through the great rusting) and the atmosphere's ability to absorb oxygen without reaching levels both toxic to the cyanobacteria itself and sufficiently high to disable greenhouse warming via methane, plunging the planet into what seems to have been its deepest and longest ice age, "Snowball Earth". I describe some of the dynamics here: https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/5l_8mqtvwllvx_dabpjy-g

My point isn't that what humans are doing here and now is sustainble or good (it's not), but rather, that playing the blame game, or trying to assign causality, is frequently nonproductive and/or fraught. It's what William R. Catton, Jr. calls "futile vilification", from his book Overshoot.

I love the example of Watt's steam-engine patent extension. I picked it up from Vaclav Smil's books, where'd you learn about it?

On coercion -- you might be interested in William Ophuls. He's a political writer (Yale PhD and professor, worked in the US Foreign Service as well). His primary work is Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity (1977), which lays out the fundamental problem and dynamics. He's continued the discussion in a series of books published through 2013, of which Plato's Revenge and Requiem for Modern Politics are probably the best supplements to his first book. http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=au%3Aop...

Ophuls argues, despite his strong belief in liberal political philosophy, that some level of mutual coercion will be all but necessary should a sustainable technological society be achieved. His critique of the present decentralised system (well, since 1977 and before), isn't very assuring.
That's a horrible strawman. We don't have a gorilla pit at home. Nor do most cars come with one.
This is because of cable news reporting on several high profile young-girl abductions over the last 20 years. Statistically the chance is very small, but these horrible stories have been burned into the consciousness of a generation of mothers.

You are correct on this one, just add some self-reflection in there(to begin to start deciphering the world around you, pick for example the so-called Snow-den, continue towards the wikileaks honeypot network - we can then compare rough numbers of victims this particular organization has on their bill and continue from there)

Chances are that even if you make $500k a year you'll still have lots and lots of social interactions with people earning much less. Even most of your friends and family will earn less.

That's why it isn't surprising to me that most people choose to identify with the middle class, especially if you consider that most people associate with this term "normal working citizens".

Maybe it is different once you have so much that you actually do not need to ever work again, but you certainly aren't in this position by earning $200k. You still have to work really hard, often even harder than the average person does.

Really? The Mongols were fearsomely mighty, yet their empire lasted less than a hundred years and their culture spread nowhere. The USSR was a military superpower, yet it only lasted one human's lifetime, and it absolutely sucked to live there. Alexander the Great was stupendously powerful in a military sense, 'conquering the known world', yet his realms collapsed upon his death at only 33.

Different context, but relevant quote by Christopher Hitchens:

"The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it's called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine—religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you'll throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase. It doesn't matter; try it in Bangladesh, try it in Bolivia, it works—works all the time. Name me one religion that stands for that, or ever has."

I think there is. Bike helmets add very little to the overall safety compared to belts in car. They distract from the fact that biker should be treated as pedestrians and cars need to stay away from them (meaning separate bike lanes, etc.). In the end, the cars are the invaders, the endangerers, not the bikers.

Cable news has severely distorted Americans view of what's dangerous and what's not, in the interest of getting more people hooked on TV.

Even very minor shark attack in Australia is blown out of all proportion until everyone thinks the wildlife in Australia is going to kill you.

It's the same reason everyone thinks Colombia, Mexico and Africa are insanely dangerous. The media/Hollywood told them so, and they believe it.

Never mind the more than 500 people a year that are murdered in NYC and another 500 in Chicago every single year. Nobody would tell a person not to go on vacation to NYC because it's too dangerous, but they'll talk until they're blue in the face about how you're going to be murdered in Senegal, Mauritania or Colombia.

Isn't that a data-bias? Everybody think they're middle class because it's the biggest class... meaning that there is an increased probability that people indeed belong to the middle class.
So the core of the argument seems to be that there are many ways to encode a basic concept like 'something to move oxygen around' - and that without that you could not have evolution and that brings platonic essence into the evolution theory.

It looks like there is something interesting there - but the article is little bit too poetic to me.

A minor thing - it is also not clear to me if they mean that there are many ways of DNA to encode haemoglobin of if the other ways encode different proteins that do the same thing.

Being lower or higher class is not only a matter of money, but also and mainly a matter of social capital. People might not be rich, but they might use the wealth of their class peers - as long as they share their codes and culture. That's why having your own office is important. Because it brings you into another class through codes and culture. Same thing with owning a boat or a country house.
The problem with a lot of culture articles on developing countries from global media is the singular focus on one aspect over decades. Every journalist somehow end up gravitating to the same thing which skews perspectives.

Its like only writing about deep south US by the global media for decades on end so there is no coverage of NYC, LA, SFO and all the other bits that make up the whole US.

So no exposure to Hollywood, to technology, to financial systems, to modern cities, imagine the kind of distorted perspective readers will form of USA. While the deep south is US the other bits are also US and you need both or you end with an deeply unbalanced and distorted perspective.

All cultures and traditions originating from thousands of years ago, be it islam, christianity or hinduism are going to be regressive in infinite ways. It takes balanced development and wealth to get people into the modern world both in mind and body so they have the perspective and freedom to accept and reject parts.

According the to the UN development indices 70% of Indian's are poor, that's a mind boggling 700-800 million people (that's more than the combined population of the US and Europe) just trying to survive and like all people who find themselves in these cirumstances they will cling desperately to their traditions.

Even the most committed system will have a multi-generational problem pulling these many people out of poverty, most developing countries, infact most countries do not have the luxury of a committed leadership over these time frames.

LuaJIT is used for NeoVim tests and will be used in the future for writing extensions (in addition to VimScript). The NeoVim developers are planning to implement VimScript itself on top of LuaJIT.

OK but we have to look at how much. If you're sitting on say $500,000, just through accumulation, with no intention of using it, then how will adding a zero or two change that?

Does some goal or ambition miraculously appear? It might... Perhaps this puts new things in reach.

The crux of the argument however is that unless those things are something intimately personal like starting a serious art collection or buying a private jet, you could arguably get the money.

And if they are personal itches then you likely won't get them fixed through materialism. There's decent $100 paintings and $20,000 airplanes you can split between 3 or so people (ie, $5,000 a person). This is actual money, yes. But it's not 1%er status.

> and because most of them want to connect every IoT device to the Internet by default

Stuff is going to get even worse when IoT devices begin using IPv6. By design, devices are publically reachable and not hidden behind a NAT router, which makes RCE exploits way, way easier.

I'd take a guess that loads of IoT devices have "backdoors" like open SSH/telnet with insecure default passwords, too - the same shit that hit el-cheapo routers, for example.
I see the same. But it is not uncommon for DNS as it needs time to propagate globally. FWIW, no inserting the www subdomain does not help either. Waiting will though.

Edit: works here now
You may be partly basing those views on anecdata (except the alcohol one; but blame the lawmakers for that, not the police or the parents).

From my own subjective anecdata living on the East Coast, police are rarely involved in school discipline unless someone has been very seriously assaulted. Parents I've seen also tend to be very protective of their children and apologetic for their actions, usually not wanting them to be subject even to basic discipline like detention or suspension, let alone arrest. Overparenting is rampant, but parenting-by-police seems rare.

As for shooting of blacks, there is not currently any conclusive evidence that it is or isn't caused by racist policing or biased officers. A few highly publicized cases of police brutality, mixed with even more heavily publicized cases of ambiguous police response (were they really being attacked? / did they really see what looked like a gun?), don't necessarily indicate a pervasive trend.

Studies to the contrary include this Harvard one (conducted by a black, liberal professor, if it matters) which even the New York Times doesn't challenge: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/upshot/surprising-new-evid...

This 2008 analysis is also interesting, albeit it from a somewhat conservative (yet respected) source: http://www.city-journal.org/html/criminal-justice-system-rac...

(Note that these only argue against disproprotionate number of shootings, not racial profiling or bias.)
> and 2) four crash tests that were run by an anonymous test center.

He addresses that criticism directly in the video by saying that there are another 45,000+ incidences of real-world crash data that have been analyzed.

> "Effectiveness of Child Safety Seats vs Seat Belts in Reducing Risk for Death in Children in Passenger Vehicle Crashes" [2]; it's freely available, but I have yet to read it.

Well, if you did read it(you don't even have to read it, just look at the easy-to-read tables), you would see that their data results match exactly with what Levitt is saying -- there is not real difference! However, their conclusion is different, because they have an additional variable, which is that they determine if that car seat was "seriously misused".

I have to admit, I never heard this before and it is hard to believe, given that conventional wisdom says that child seats are safer, however, the data does seem to back up what he is saying.

It really sounds to me like you are the one that is falling victim to exactly what he is claiming, "It must be right, because that is what everyone believes--plus it is kids!"

You do know that instead of knee-jerk criticizing someone for believing what an economist says, you can go through his data, show where his methods, data, or conclusion is wrong and help everyone! (... and be famous in the process)
