I am not suggesting that I should be covered under the union contract, without paying union due. Far from it!

I do not want the union contract, because I believe that I can get a better deal for myself. The unioners can have their contract, and I can have mine. In the same way that I negotiate for myself right now, in a fully union free industry.

I'm sure you can get it to run on some computer that act like a router or grab some embedded stuff.

I haven't tried it too much work. But openBSD is solidly crazy. They sacrifice performance for security and security is always the first thing on their mind and anything else are distant second. They code review too.

To be fair, their customer was always going to be price insensitive. When you're lofting a $2 billion recon satellite, there's no room for error and they don't care if the launch costs $100 million or $300 million -- they just want absolute assurance that it's going to work. So the incentives to minimize resource use weren't there for a very rational reason.

Do you really believe there is nothing right or wrong regardless of what your peers say? If so, I find you deeply troubling.

Most things aren't math equations. All distinctions in the real world are messy, seemingly arbitrary at some level. Can you define what it means for something to be alive or dead? I seriously doubt it. Yet we do not dispute the existence of such distinctions. The concept of life improves our understanding of the world despite its slipperyness.
> I strongly recommend you pick up the book Dr Toole wrote for a non technical audience: https://www.amazon.com/Sound-Reproduction-Psychoacoustics-Lo...

I second this recommendation. Chapter Two of Dr. Toole's book is titled "Preserving the Art" and directly addresses the concerns you're raising. He uses a great quote at the end of this chapter:

"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted".
- Einstein

Dr. Toole then spends 500 pages addressing how you can correlate objective and subjective evaluation of loudspeakers. It's a great read.
They had number words for 1 to 10, and then for 10 multiplied by several powers of 2. The word takau (which Bender and Beller denote as K) means 10; paua (P) means 20; tataua (T) is 40; and varu (V) stands for 80. In this notation, for example, 70 is TPK and 57 is TK7.

To my non-mathematically trained ears this doesn't sound like a binary system at all, but more like the highly inefficient Roman system. Am I missing something?

Maybe because by the time hands were closed into fists, people had forgotten about the negotiating and gotten down to fighting.

In other words, the "fist" symbol was a reserved word for a very different purpose than counting.

Or possibly more realistically: if the way you communicated numbers didn't rely on position to indicate magnitude, you didn't need zeros as place holders. You could just "sign", 3 * 100 + 5 * 10 (whatever the symbols for those were ). Hell, maybe the symbol for 10 was 1 x "fist" and 100 was "pump your first twice."

Looking through the comments, I see a combination of anecdotal evidence about Unions being bad/good and a few (very logical) statements about how collective bargaining leads to higher wages & benefits.

Here are my two pennies:

Private sector unions are great for collective bargaining, though I prefer they abstain from broad political platforms (immigration, for example), as these are so far removed the intent of the union. I tend to view these Unions as being political vehicles first, collective bargaining agents second. That isn't a compliment.

Public sector unions are awkward in that tax payer is not represented at the bargaining table. They should be restructured to make bargaining comparable to the private sector case (or reverse Aboud).

My personal experiences with Unions are very negative.

In the first experience, in SoCal in the early 90s, I saw first hand when the Teamsters moved to unionize drywall framers. My dad was a small scale developer in the San Gabriel Valley and during a protest, a Teamsters boss on a megaphone encouraged a mob of picketers to run through the project with hammers and destroy recently hung drywall. My dad also received death threats and we had a rock thrown through a window.

My second experience was doing campaign targeting for AFSCME. The people I met from that org were in the extreme far left part of the political spectrum (as in "Stalin had some good ideas"). Take from that what you will.

The prison system isn't the only thing at fault though. The courts are horribly rigged as well and it looks like that was why this man spent so much time behind bars. It's a terrible thing that we have prosecutors who further their career by getting more in jail, no matter whether they are guilty or innocent.
Broadly I agree, lately though I've had to change some stuff that was tightly coupled to only slightly related code via generics and inheritance. Rewriting parts is the only way to disentangle things. If there is one thing that spaghetti programmers love it's inheritance.

Cloud providers aren't going to switch fully to AMD, but I wouldn't be surprised if they buy a mix like 70% Intel / 30% AMD.

There may be a situation, however, where the servers that are rented to customers are 100% Intel which would perpetuate the appearance of a monopoly even if it no longer exists.

It's not at all like a Roman system except for the use of letters. You can separate a natural number n into two parts:

n = 10 * q + k, where 0 <= k < 10 and q in N

q = 1 * K? + 2 * P? + 4 * T? + 8 * V?

where K?, P?, T?, and V? are 0 if the letter is absent and 1 if the letter is present. n is a textbook base 10 decomposition, and q is a sparse binary representation.

Roman numerals didn't use quotient/remainder or a geometric expansion at all. Since the 'base' seems to switch between 2 and 5 each time, you can't cleanly decompose it. And there was that weird subtractive case.
501c5's are non-profit organizations.

The idea that unions have greater ability to coerce workers is LAUGHABLE. First, to your point directly, the NLRB website notes that "Threats to employees that they will lose their jobs unless they support the union" are ILLEGAL, just as it is for corporations. At the same time, however, corporations are able to force employees to listen to anti-union propaganda and pressure them to vote how they want.

If you want to compromise, and say every workplace in America gets to vote every year on whether to have a union, I'd take that deal. Because yes, getting 30% signing decert cards is difficult -- as is getting the 30% of authorization cards to have a vote in favor of a union in the first place without attracting the attention of management! But no, you want elections in places WITH unions annually, but you don't want elections in places WITHOUT them. Democracy only when it suits your desired outcomes.

I see the exception that proves the rule has showed up. You know it's obvious to me that you're in a privileged position and can leverage this to do quite well in the job market with or without worker collective action. One thing I would say is that even someone like you benefits from unions. Unions have negotiated many benefits we take for granted today and can even benefit workers not in the union. For example, my mother did not go to college and started working straight out of high-school. She was able to get a job that paid her really well considering the time and her inexperience. And she didn't even have to join a union to get it. Instead her employer always kept wages a little above the other unionized shops in town, in order to keep the union at bay. Which is all to say that if common workers in your industry unionize you will probably be able to negotiate an even higher premium in exchange for not joining the union.

Also keep in mind unionization is a freedom which is currently being infringed! I firmly believe that organizations should be able to draw up agreements with another! If a union and a company mutually agree that all the company's workers must join the union, I don't see a problem with that. The fact that our lawmakers are going in and writing backdoors so that this is serious government overreach.

The parent made a good point with this: "blatantly violate every kind of basic human right" which was a comment hailing from Italy of all places. Criticism is fine but these ridiculous & inaccurate anti-US statements are exhausting.

It's usually from a country that would be speaking German if it wasn't for the US. No country is perfect but damn, you'd think people would put forth sensible criticism from their glass house.

To the article at hand, and valid criticism - our prison system is seriously broken. It's corrupt. It's costly and ineffective. We're incarcerating way too many people that aren't a risk to society. Then we let out risky inmates because it's overcrowded. We haven't figured out how to provide punishment while at the same time preventing recidivism. Let's be honest - we don't have our brightest running this system.
It's true that a union has more bargaining power. But you've just moved the power from the employer to the union.

As an individual you don't have power over the terms of the collective bargaining. The union can very well bargain against your interests. If you want $250,000 salary as a new grad, you might actually have a higher chance of receiving it in non-unionized world.
Thankfully, the fundamentals of the technology prevent it from being entirely subverted. You can still choose to ignore these restrictions, just like with cash.

There is a profound amount of stuff in our political system which is necessary to the everyday running of the country, and yet is profoundly boring. There are a huge number of people for which having to participate in reading and debating law is untenable for one or more reasons. Hell, the politicians PAID to do this don't read all the things they are supposed to.

Hell, half of Americans can't be bothered to vote. How are they going to contribute to the political process in any meaningful way when harboring that much apathy?
Not only that. The android which was going to happen before the iphone was a very different beast. It was closer in spirit to WinCE and BB than to iOS. WP7 also happened only because of the android and iphone competition. I think it's reasonable to say that smartphone OS's would have remained terrible for a long time without the iphone leading the way.
Oh, I agree people should make their own decisions on this kind of stuff. I was just pointing out why things are the way they are.

Exactly. And the only ways our society could agree an advertisement is harmful is if it 1. was fraudulent, as I said or 2. was obscene/offensive/hateful (see: fighting words category of exceptions to first amendment).

However, the OP seemed to think billboards are externalities in and of themselves just because he didn't want to be influenced by any information.
> If you can’t explain something in simple terms, you don’t understand it

And an underappreciated corollary is...

If you want something explained well in simple terms, you have to find someone who understands it deeply.

In the sciences, that means someone who has it as their research focus. Because as you move away from that focus, understanding rapidly becomes ramshackle. Leave someone's subfield, and you might as well be talking with a random graduate student (in that field). And that's hopeless.

Thus many research talks have videos and stories which would nice to have in a K-12 classroom. And most all K-12 education content is incoherent wretchedness.

An old essay of mine: "Scientific expertise is not broadly distributed - an underappreciated obstacle to creating better content" http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/MHjx6 In which a 5-year old with finger paints wants to paint the Sun, but encounters astronomy graduate students.

"I am sorry for the length of my letter, but I had not the time to write a short one." - Blaise Pascal 1657

There's a sad little genre of low-quality science education research that goes: "I tried to teach topic T to students of age A. I taught it <really really badly>. Surprisingly, that didn't work! I've reach the obvious conclusion: students of age A are developmentally unready to learn topic T."

But understanding, while necessary, is not sufficient. At PhD poster session practice, it's often remarkably hard to help candidates develop an "elevator pitch". To clearly understand the core of what they've spent the last n years working on. I'm still amazed by how often one gets something like "wow, now I can explain it to my parents".
> Don't like it and can't effect change lawfully? Move.

Great idea. Why bother ever trying to improve things where you live when you can just move to fantasy-land where the laws are in perfect agreement with your beliefs?

This argument makes even less sense in the US since the government makes you get permission, provide years of tax records, and pay them a huge amount of money (over $2000 plus some large percentage of your holdings) to renounce your citizenship. You can't "just leave".
