If collective bargaining wasn't mandatory, and employers were free to decide who to hire and fire, the manufacturing sector in the US would be vastly larger, and offer millions more jobs to Americans.

There is very little that does more damage to society than the so-called labour movement.

Exactly. "Print" originally made me think of an ink printer. "Say" makes alright sense. Strangest I've seen is the basic language PBASIC's "debug" statement for the BASIC STAMP controller.
Show HN: Codemonkey.ai – BI for Software Development Leaders
Hey HN Community! My team and I recently started Codemonkey.ai to solve many of the challenges we have faced over the years running large software organizations.

We found it harder and harder to optimize team productivity, measure software quality, and proactively manage risk as we began to support multiple applications built on different technologies/toolchains with development teams located across the globe. Codemonkey.ai was built to provide us with the insights we needed to be better software development leaders.

We are currently working with a number of software development organizations and are beginning to open it up to a wider audience. We would love to get your feedback and answer any questions you may have.

There is a 15-day trial (no CC Required) to give it a whirl! After you sign up you can even access a number of Open Source Projects to help you get a better idea of what Codemonkey.ai can do for your own apps.

Thanks,
The Codemonkey.ai Team
Compromise: an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.

If any one side were perfectly happy with this solution, it would probably mean it's not a very good solution. Of course the ad networks don't want to have to follow any standards. Of course the content producers that are making good money with ads that may fall foul of this don't want anything to change that might reduce their revenue. Of course users would rather get rid of all ads. None of that is realistic or sustainable. If advertising doesn't get its act together, ad blocking will increase even more over the large year-over-year increases it's already seeing[1], and at some point content producers will find they aren't making enough money anymore to sustain that advertising model because nobody is seeing their ads, and it will all come crashing down.

Would another model rise up in its place? Sure. Would that be any comfort to the people that ended up having to get a different job because what they were doing was no longer sustainable and no new model can take over instantaneously? Doubtful.

Whatever you want the eventual model to be, the only way forward that doesn't strangle the market while it's happening includes everyone involved taking responsibility for their part. And this definitely includes the consumers. Your "I can do whatever I want to bits delivered to me / I have no responsibility to watch the advertising expected to fund the content I'm consuming" arguments never really held up anyway, and they definitely don't if the other side gets its act together.

Privacy concerns are still valid, but ad blockers never actually fixed that, they just added an extra level of complexity to the equation. Use facebook? Guess what facebook probably knows about every site you've visited that has a like button while your facebook session is still active. Your only hope is legislation, and you'll be lucky not to get a raw deal out of that, and your only hope of a good outcome there is awareness and activism. Acting like your ad-blocker actually helps all that much is just sticking your head in the sand when that's the next real fight for online rights.

If you don't mind sharing, Im curious what library you used for the charts?
(Ozgun from Citus)

TLDR: We're thinking about multi-shard transactions and we'll share more updates as our timelines become concrete. In the 7.0 release cycle, we're looking at prototyping work on distributed deadlock detection, a prerequisite for multi-shard transactions.

As a quick question, we find that multi-shard transactions fall into multiple categories. Which one did you have in mind?

1. An UPDATE / DELETE over multiple shards

2. BEGIN; tx on one shard from distributed table; tx on another shard; COMMIT

3. BEGIN; tx on distributed table; tx on reference table; COMMIT

We currently offer master_modify_multiple_shards() or Postgres' 2PC as potential workarounds, and know that there's definitely more work to be done in this area.
By your statement I presume you are alluding to India sourcing ~70% of its energy consumption from coal (compared to ~40% by the US), according to this source. I should point out that the parent poster's dataset comes from 2014, whereas the article is talking about a much more recent transition towards renewables (the Paris accord was signed 2015 and India took part circa 2016).

The OP's point is still reasonable in terms of both absolute magnitude as well as per-capita, in that India, as a developing country and yet one of the most populous countries on the planet, consumes far less energy than developed states and is not as immediate a threat to life as we know it on a global basis, such as the US is. Indian policies towards coal consumption, no matter how progressive they can get, cannot hope to match the immediate impact their counterparts in the US can achieve today (and choose not to), and the current US administration does not really have grounds to point fingers elsewhere.

Have you ever surfed the web on mobile, without and ad blocker?
What they mean here is actually "We plan to have Chrome hide ads that do not comply with Google's standards" and I challenge anyone to show that this isn't Google trying to silo advertising even more than they already do.
No idea about speed of charge. That's what the game is right now. I used to have a phone with wireless charging but it was way slower than using the wired smart charger (the one with the tech from Qualcomm)
We also inevitably get technical threads being derailed by people complaining that the posted site blocks their ad-blockers, is behind a paywall or uses javascript, but for some reason those aren't considered as off-topic as tangential politics.

Without the labour movement we'd have Triangle Shirtwaist fires and Ludlow massacres every week. I don't blame you for not knowing that, because our educational system is designed to produce obedient workers, not class agitators. You might want to pick up a history book though.
I agree with some of that. You can point to things that didn't work, particularly in the early days.

But you can also point to stuff that did work. Early electric cars were failures, but there are lots of them on the road now.

Also, it seems you have no real criticism of Priuses. You just want to complain about them. Why? They work fine.

You think that any attempts to prevent tax evasion are tyrannical? Why even have laws if you're not going to bother enforcing any of them?

The idea that the government's primary means of paying for things is printing currency is perhaps true if you just stepped out of a time machine from the early 19th Century, but it has little to do with how the government works today. If that were actually how the government ran inflation would be well into the double digits (if not higher), as you could see by referring to any historical examples of governments trying to do this.

Some strategies only work with small investment sizes or require a lot of effort, so don't scale well.

Big firms leave tons of (for them) small opportunities on the table, because it's not worth their time.

Similarly, there are people who can regularly beat the market that don't have much to offer large funds because their methods don't scale.
You don't need to use offensive language, or call me a condescending twit. That's out of order.

You can always start saving a little. Maybe a home is out of your grasp but traveling for while is definitely achievable.
I don't like regulation, in the sense of eggheads sitting around trying to micromanage the market, or thinking that high minded principle insulates them from the market. I think that's a recipe for failure. But you don't need eggheads to internalize externalities. It's easier to just tax bad things, or if the thing is sufficiently unjustifiable, to ban the categorically. Banning leaded gasoline was a great idea. Let's ban coal next. Let's impose crippling liability on companies who pollute the water or air.

The ironic thing is that regulation is bad for the environment. The EPA spends as much time litigating against environmental groups if not more than it does fighting the industry.

You misconstrue my point about there not being a "political fix" to climate change. Obviously we could just ban CO2 emissions. My point is that the set of fixes the political system can generate and the set of fixes that will work are disjoint.
It's a great book.

Being forced to join a union looks like equality to me. If I want to work at a particular place, I have to join that company. I can't come in on my own, expect to get paid, but not be a part of the company that runs the place. Why should the union be any different?

If an employee doesn't want to work for a particular company, they have to find a different place to work. If an employee doesn't want to join a particular union, they have to find a different place to work. Why is the former reasonable but not the latter?

If an employer really wants to hire non-union labor, they can leave their company and join a different one that doesn't have a union. You're playing an interesting semantic trick here where you use "employee" to refer to the individual, but "employer" to refer to the company. You thereby paint the asymmetry as unfair, when in fact there's no expectation that they should be the same. Let's compare individuals to individuals (laborers to management, say) and groups to groups (companies to unions).

Why do the arguments against unions not also apply to companies? Give me something where if I replace "union" with "company" the result isn't an equally compelling argument against not letting employers organize collectively.

But if this was present in your office/classroom/car it wouldn't matter if it was slow, as long as it was fast enough to provide more power than you were using at a given time. I.e. It doesn't matter if it takes 5 hours to charge if you're around a source 8 or 9 hours a day.
I'm guessing the banks are still running the infrastructure. It's just they didn't bother with installing card networks since mobile payments is an evolution over them.
Last I checked, the reason India's coal power plants were running at 60% was not because of lack of demand, but because fixed prices make it uneconomical to produce coal and the government monopoly Coal India is utterly incompetent and inefficient even by Indian government standards...
Poor is a state of having low capital. Low interest rates make it hard for poor people to save their way out of being poor. Making it harder to accumulate capital keeps the poor being poor. That's why it's so expensive to buy stocks and housing at the moment. There's less ways for poor people to become less poor.

The problem actually seems worse on the Bitcoin side to new than in meat space. Someone might have a Saas business that receives a lot of payments in BTC. Interestingly there isn't all that much traffic. You know like in mani pedi salons that make surprising amounts of money despite never being really packed. It's harder to notice that with a Saas business especially if the logs aren't kept for long. However, it would be strange to see that most of the customers BTC addresses only ever received money from a source other than an exchange and all just used it to pay for the Saas. It would be easier to launder money by just allowing "customers" to pay by mailinh cash to a PO box.
India imports a huge amount of coal from Australia because of local restrictions on mining, by the way. Otherwise we have one of the largest coal reserves on the planet.

Digging up coal to fight climate change is just silly, and I doubt that flies anywherre.
You are right that they are treating it similarly to cash. The problem is that our society is slowly criminalizing cash as well. If cops catch you with a large amount of cash, they can just take it with no recourse. It's assumed to be for criminal activity, since why else would anyone transport cash? Using cash is increasingly seen as suspicious and possibly criminal behavior. If you deposit a large amount of cash it's reported to the government and you may even be investigated. Some other comments below have better examples.

The government stopped printing large bills and inflation is slowly going to make the smaller bills worthless. The same also applies to laws. The law says "any amount over $10,000 needs to be reported". And as inflation continues, the actual amount of value that represents becomes smaller and smaller from what it was when the law was originally written.
Do you think there is some historical example we could refer to to see what it would look like if we had industrial capitalism with no labor rights whatsoever?
I understand your point, I was just pointing you to a different perspective. Wal-Mart makes far more money from SNAP recipients as customers than it potentially saves in wages. I personally do not believe SNAP saves Wal-Mart any wages at all.

I'll circle back to the question I asked several levels ago. If SNAP suddenly disappeared, do you believe that would cause Wal-Mart to raise its wages? If not, then your point is moot since it's not saving Wal-Mart any wage costs.
Of course. My point is that there is a whole class of people, let's call them "college educated millenials" or somesuch, for whom an extra $100 doesn't mean much, but who have plenty of things they could gold plate and put diamonds on.

The dichotomy that there are only the ultra wealthy and the almost destitude is false. There's a lot of inbetween.
It's buried a bit, but the most noticeable change is arguably that Google is productizing blocking ad blockers. From the release:

"As part of our efforts to maintain a sustainable web for everyone, we want to help publishers with good ad experiences get paid for their work. With Funding Choices, now in beta, publishers can show a customized message to visitors using an ad blocker, inviting them to either enable ads on their site, or pay for a pass that removes all ads on that site through the new Google Contributor."
Game modding is an easier way to get your toes wet in this area. Find an open source game, a supportive community and generally try to supply resources to the kid.

Learning is something that comes far more naturally than teaching. If you aren't qualified to teach it, then don't try. Instead, facilitate their self study process. It will be far more effective and a better experience for both of you.
And The Internet turning into Cable TV marches on.

The real TV is for old people to watch soaps, but we finally cracked how to take the raw and unfiltered branding of the Internet and constrain the content into our boring safe-for-advertizer risqué.

People should never stumble upon things that might upset them. People should watch our boring, artificial representation of mundane acts, and feel that they're outrageous because we presented it as such.
I'm a dropped-out philosophy major with a humanities family and cultural background, and wearing what occasionally feels like the impostor's mantle of a software engineer.

This leads to a lot of amusing, sometimes infuriating cultural conflicts. I frequently have this type of conversation with colleagues in my profession, and it's frustrating to see all the technocratic utopianism and narrowly conceived TEDdie-ism that often obtains on the other side.

Lately, I've resorted to making the point about mindfulness and purpose through the compact vehicle of jest, since business interactions seldom organically accommodate discussion of serious ideas and issues. In our hipster age of sham social capital, deniable low-calorie intellectual commitments, and instant disavowal of anything that begets complications down the road, oblique jokes seem to work better than direct critiques.

Something like:

- Client: "Our server has had five-nines uptime this past year!"

- Me: "But was it running good stuff?"

- Client: "What?"

- Me: "What's better, a highly available server sitting idle or running crap, or a less reliable server running good stuff? Quality over quantity, right?"

- Client: "Uhhh..."

- Me: "Think about it. Is the measure of a server really in how long it's been running? The essence of a server is that it serves, yeah? Availability is a secondary—if important—quality."

- Client: "... okay ...?"

- Me: "So, it's not enough to just be up. The host has to run good stuff. Has the server been running good stuff?"

- Client: "Erm... it runs our middleware? Are you asking if it's good code?"

- Me: "No, I'm asking if it's a good thing to run, although I suppose for a thing to be good to run, it has to be written well enough. Bad code doesn't run well."

- Client: "WTF?"

- Me: "Is your middleware good stuff?"

- Client: "What does that even mean?"

- Me: "Doesn't it bother you that you don't know?"

- Client: "... I guess I never really thought about it like that."

That was my experience with Plated as well a couple years ago. I'm sure I'm bias because I don't really mind grocery shopping and I enjoy cooking. That said I didn't enjoy cooking the Plated meals as much as I do one from a recipe I find online. I completely agree on the "Food wasn't hard to prepare, but it was much more cumbersome than most of the things I make in a hurry". I'm not looking for 3 step recipes but a lot of it felt unnecessarily complex for the sake of being complex.

Honestly if you want to up your cooking game by spending money buy a nice recipe app like Paprika (I'm in love with this app) and plan your meals out before you go to the store. It takes me at most 20 minutes to find new or pick existing recipes and make my shopping list for the week. Then a quick trip to the store to grab it all (<30min in store as long as I go alone + 15-20min total driving). Call it just over an hour. Yes I could bill for an hour for more money than I save with groceries vs plated but grocery trips are unavoidable so really we are talking about 20min. And the end result is I make much healthier meals than Plated/Blue Apron/etc and I make what I like.
