Oh, they are definitely paying more attention to the laptop market. They partnered with Samsung recently to make Chromebook Plus/Pro models, and the ARM version came with a strange 6-core processor only described as, 'OP1.'

It looks like it's a Rockchip with two Cortex-A72s, four Cortex-A53s, and a recent Mali GPU. But the 'OP' branding is apparently an attempt by Google to brand or designate ARM chips that have certain peripherals, performance-enhancing features, and support for ChromeOS stuff.

That would be interesting. Basically instead of companies existing, make every project in the world an open source project on a blockchain and people get compensated for contributing directly as a consequence of how the blockchain works.

I'd assume we'd do it the same way we do it on the space station, except on a larger scale. We tightly control water consumption and what leaves the life support systems.
The complacency: the flip side of startup success no one talks about
The network would survive with a vastly reduced number of miners. But at that point it would become feasible for a state actor to wage a 50% attack against it and kill it for good? It didn't happen before because bitcoin was just a geeky curiosity; now that it's been proved to move real money, it has become a possibility.
Please don't recommend Arch Anywhere. It uses an unsigned package repo as part of their install.
Worth noting, Vim has full mouse support for scrolling, selecting text, resizing windows, etc. in the terminal and when working over SSH.

>manual convoluted update procedures and Pacman tricks to function correctly

Maybe it's just me, but I've never had to do this once in the past two years (since I started using Arch). Literally every single update has been perfect.
>NixOS & GuixSD provide this.

Yes, as a decade+ user of Arch, these two are the only new distros that have made me consider switching, sort of waiting for some spare time (like a free weekend) to give each of them a try.
I think it would be really cool if it turned out that it could tell the difference between some pairs of identical twins due to seemingly imperceptible differences.
#3 is already available, and always has been. I personally create a non-MS local account when I first install the OS, and then convert it to my MS account to get the features I want from that. I do this to make sure my user account has the name I want it to have.
Huh. Taking that a step further, instead of Face ID being a (probably) static shot of your face, what if it were a sequence? For example, if you could set your "code" to be smiling and then frowning? Or, given it can detect eye location ("awareness"), looking at different corners of the phone in a particular sequence?
People don't have problem using an Apple account because they're not using that to track you everywhere and then use that against you in ads.

It's the same thing between Chrome vs Firefox. People also don't have a problem with their Firefox account used for syncing. Why? The scope is limited.

If you don't use Google Play as an app store, security quickly becomes an issue. And even if you are using Google Play, the inherent ability for apps to do whatever offers less privacy than the iOS equivalent.

Apple was very much criticized in the earlier days when apps would leak personal data out. They've since focused on giving the users more control about what to share. Android on the other hand, not so much.

I've used Android as my primary phone for a number of years. Privacy and security are some of the reasons that I will only buy Apple phones now. I wish that wasn't the case because I do want the variety of phone choices and the lower cost options. I also do like Android for its other aspect, but security and privacy ranks towards the very top of my criteria.
"Operator-less equipment is inevitable, but there is no way the manufactures are going to let the farmer capture any potential gains."

In a properly functioning market, seems like competition between manufacturers would be the mechanism by which the gains would be passed along to the farmer. Are you saying that there is or will be insufficient competition in that market?
> I hope not. I've seen enough HNers talk about how they want immigrants out of the industry, and about how we should restrict the supply of programmers to keep pay high

Incidentally, this is exactly what labor unions have spent their time doing for much of their history as incorporated organizations. Labor unions fought (successfully) to exclude immigrants from certain regions from immigrating, and even fought to retroactively strip them of citizenship, so that members could seize their property after they were deported. Labor unions fought to relocate Japanese-Americans during World War II, to create jobs for members, and then fought to prevent them from returning home.

The current quota system for visas and immigration that tech people frequently complain about? That was the result of legislation that the AFL lobbied for decades ago.

People don't like to talk about this, because it's an ugly chapter of labor history, but especially in this day and age, it's important to remember.
They're pressurized with nitrogen generally, just to keep them clean and dry inside. They're quite capable of standing or lying down while unpressurized though.
At the same time, I see why it was done. Should someone who happened to go to prison have limited prospects for the rest of their life? Should someone who happened to get arrested for drugs need to work hard labor for the rest of their life to survive?
> In fact, if you look to history and the creation of the first states in Sumeria thousands of years ago, the raison d'etre of those states were to use violence and propaganda so that an idle class could expropriate surplus labor time from their slaves doing all the work.

So we know how - my immediate question is how many other instances are out there, unpatched, tangled up with things like Payment Portals, Auto Reg. Portals. Gah.
Yeah, at one point I had a whole non-dev-mode workflow set up for working on Love2D games. There are Android apps for text editing, version control, and even one for running .love files. Even the shader access worked.

Well, if I choose CS, I'll really want to do the cool stuff! Our university offers something like AI Master's, so the required Math background will be (hopefully) provided. I don't have to major in pure Math to be somehow proficient in it.
In some cases they actually do destroy wealth in the process of redistributing it.

For any startup that subsidizes its products below its costs it is possible for it to destroy value. If they produce something for $10 dollars then sell it for $8 to someone who derives $9 of value out of it, then they have transferred $1 of wealth to their customer and have destroyed $1 of wealth.
I find the idea of no corporate tax pretty appealing yes.
I guess publicly begging Mark Zuckerburg for $50 million doesn’t get factored in, so you’re probably right.

Eve is an excellent example of a game with mostly user-supplied content in a loose framework. The game supplies a physics engine and basic rules for game components, but beyond that it is an open world.

This is both a strength and a weakness: the game itself isn't that interesting or challenging without interacting with other people. But you can't really see all the game's content because so much territory is controlled by hostile teams. So unless you have nerves of steel and great skills to fly stealthed, you'll probably never see Russian-controlled Drone Regions, for example.

It would be cool to have a second shard of this universe in "care bear" mode that didn't allow player-vs-player (PVP) so that people could appreciate all the content that CCP created. It might also create pressure on CCP to create more interesting non-player-dependent mechanics and content in the game.
Your comment shows the real divide on unionization and its not about someone's political ideology, its fundamentally about how they view the profession. If like you said programmers should unionize before the army of $12/hour programmers arrives then what you are claiming is that software development could be done by someone who was trained and willing to accept $12 per hour. Essentially you are making the claim they are a common laborer much like a construction worker or delivery driver ( both of whom make more then $12/ hour ). If however you view software development as a profession requiring intelligence and a deep understanding of the subject matter then you don't care about the $12/hour laborers because they will never be able to replicate the work of a qualified professional.

The people who don't want a union aren't resisting it because they want to live in some libertarian wet dream, they are resisting it because they see their profession as something that can't be reduced to common labor and they don't see a labor union as able to provide any benefits, as indeed they don't when you are dealing with a profession. The push to get people to unionize is not about workers rights its about putting technology professionals in the place business owners want them in. No one likes the idea that software is eating the world and there is a limited group of people , who are not the traditional power brokers, who are very well positioned to capitalize on that. They would much rather that software development become a commodity so they can continue their model of capital vs labor.
None of this addresses the main problem: all of Google's apps are so well integrated that I'm locked in.

My Google Calendar appointments appear on my Google Maps the day they're occurring. When I get a flight confirmation in GMail it's added to my Google Calendar.

It's my understanding that PureOS is currently Gnome based and that they're heavily leaning towards that remaining the default, but that they haven't made a final decision yet. It does sound like users will have the option to install either though.

It's the actual definition of government, it does everything with the threat of violence. In the grand scheme of things, the social contract between members of society, some rights are given up to the state to be the intermediary. They enforce rules with threat of encarceration and are able to deal with problems via force (cops and military).

So yes, taxes are collected just like the Mafiosi collect their debts.

Labor seems to have some unique "challenges" that don't affect other organizations. If I buy a Dodge, nobody from Ford is going to come slash my tires. If I hire a non-union electrician, well, maybe my house burns down. "Shoddy craftsmanship", right? Always hire union to be safe. If anybody is arguing for the elimination of the market system, I'd start by looking at the unions.

I have been using archlinux for close to a decade now. Updates were never a problem as much as people make it out to be. But even then I don't notice as many issues since I switched to an LTS kernel on my machines.

If your hardware is old enough, I recommend using the LTS kernel and kernel modules.
It's not real because it doesn't match your vague ideas about what it should be. Well, OK.
I hope it does more than simply ChromeOS... the $200 dollar beaters are fine for what ChromeOS is. There are very few reasons to buy a "Chromebook Pixel" in 2017... unless it does something more than Chrome.

Also, the water doesn't need to be exposed to the Martian atmosphere - it can be stored in tanks until needed. Farms wouldn't be in open air anyway.

At a later point, it may prove feasible to reduce the incidence of solar winds using one or more deflectors at the Sun-Mars L1 point. A cool idea would be to slow down instead of deflecting so the particles would land on Mars and become part of the atmosphere instead of blowing it away.

But this is way past the science-fiction line for now.

Balanced by what standard? Don't really need an answer, most of my posts are just to let other individuals know that at one time there were critical thinkers on HN. I've been downvoted so often for asking questions and answering questions (rather than rambling on through rhetorical platitudes and high-school level history lessons) that I actually take perverse pleasure in seeing how many downvotes I can get.
Yeah, I am just talking about how you start to generally approach the problem.

Government is always going to be an ongoing, adaptive process with back-and-forth struggles and adjudication between interested parties. Maybe we'll evolve into a more inherently cooperative species in the future, but you're definitely right about what the first business response is. :)

Have to agree. As a mostly linux sysadmin I absolutely can't stand Linux desktops. It seems that Linux desktop users never even look at "the other sides". Sorry, but usability is laughable. There is no consistency over time. New version? Oh boy, hang on to your helmets - there goes all your customization you had to do to make your environment tolerable for you.

I've used pre-1.0 KDE (and compiled it myself), seen Gnome pop up, tried a ton of WM's, and I try out some WM's and GUI-distro's at least once a year. Every time it comes down to: usable, but not great, and requires quite a bit of customization which I could redo for newer versions. When all you need is a terminal and a browser, it's probably fine, but I need a bit more than that to feel comfy.
Even if it weren't repealed, non-union members would still freeload off the work of union members. Let's say that a union forms, and persuades management to fix a light switch that gives you electric shocks every time you flip it. [1]

Management agrees to fix the light switch. They most certainly are not going to fix it in such a way that it only shocks non-union members. This is an example of a employee gain that was only possible because of a union, but benefits all workers, union or not. [2]

The problem is not the NLRA, it's the right-to-work-for-less legislature. It deliberately undermines collective bargaining from the employee's side (But does nothing to hamstring collective bargaining from the employer's side.)

[1] I kid you not, this has been an actual issue at a McDonalds, which unionized. http://www.themilitant.com/1998/6232/6232_27.html

[2] Back in the day, workers would be locked inside their workplaces, so that they couldn't leave work early. Unsurprisingly, when fires would start, they would burn to death. Unions eventually fought for protection from this - a protection which you, a non-union member now benefit from.
my plan would be to separate the boosters too, you just need them stuck together at launch.

or another plan would be to keep them together all the way to mars, and you have a habitation unit above the boosters which is their combined surface area.

when you launch the habitation unit you can later land another one next to it the to tile them together.
I did a reinstall recently of Arch and the only thing I did was to copy the user folder from my old computer to the new one. Everything worked out of the box.
This is very close to my thinking.

I've joked before that, in order for a tech union drive to work, it would have to be recast as some sort of medieval-guild-style exploitation of secret knowledge power-play/conspiracy to get the libertarians on board.

It isn't clear to me what phone you have but it sounds like you are trying to save money. You can buy a Nexus 5 for $80 on eBay. Update it to your prefered version of LineageOS. I have found the Google phones to run much better and have better driver support then random Android phones.

Why don't you want to change the OS?
Absolutely the most common objection to labor organization is that it's something associated intrinsically with low-status commodified occupations.

But that's a fallacy. Most of the classic professions are organized. They're usually organized around professional associations and not "labor unions", and their collective bargaining concerns things other than their wages. But those are distinctions without differences.

Yes, tech workers aren't going to create the Tech Teamsters. That's an easy question to put to rest. But that doesn't dispose of the issue. Tech workers should organize, now, when their market power is at its zenith. There's a good discussion to have about what the resulting organizations look like.

But there's less of a tenable argument about whether they should try at all. Clearly, it seems to me, they should.

>>But maybe the issue here is that the woman's punishment was much less than what most people would consider full justice, so they feel compelled to mete out slightly more to compensate.

Peoples justice is not justice, it's revenge. You can't cherry pick the decisions of the justice system to fit your personal world views. You either believe in the ability of the justice system to impose the correct sentences, or you don't.

This private institution can base their decisions on anything they want, but in this particular case the reasoning is asinine and cowardly. It has nothing to do with her as a person and everything to do with a bad PR incident.

> It seems silly to confine the question to Teamster-style unions. You want the answer to that? No, tech workers are not going to create the Tech Teamsters. That's not the important question. The important question is, will tech workers organize, and, when they do, what will that organization look like? That's a question we can speculate productively about.

Any union that derives its authority from the NLRA and is overseen by the NLRB will eventually end up looking like the AFL-CIO, SEIU, etc. We have decades of experimentation done by other unions with other organizational structures - all of which have failed - testifying to that.

Most professional organizations do not derive their authority or power from the NLRA at all. The activities that they take, as organizations, are outside the scope of the NLRA. Put another way: if the NLRA vanished overnight, they would still operate in the same way, as evidenced by the fact that many of the largest and most successful professional organizations predate the NLRA by decades. The same is not true of most labor unions which derive their power from the NLRA - even the few surviving ones that predated the NLRA restructured in its wake.

The fact that the NLRA protects some employee activity in non-unionized workforces is true, but it isn't particularly relevant to answering the question "do you think tech-workers will begin to unionize?", because the professional organizations that you introduced to the discussion do not require the NLRA to function as they do today.
Thank you for your answer. Some people here advice me to take Math, and learn CS/programming (from the point in which I'm now) by taking elective classes or learning on your own. What do you think about this?
Well, good luck.
