Unions needn’t be only for the middle class. See professional sports players unions for example.
I totally second the basic idea here. I also try to avoid abusive monopolists where I can. I never order at Amazon, I deleted my FB account, I switched from GMail to FastMail and try to use DDG instead of Google.

Having said that - the problem with Google is that it provides really useful services and it is really difficult to actually argue that Google is bad. They are doing lots of good stuff. They "abused" their monopoly to push SSL/HTTPS, they recklessly improve web advertisement and so on.

Still FB is measurably bad for people's wellbeing, Amazon is treating their workers badly and their customer service gets shittier with every year. Google is just too big. And too much power in one hand is never beneficial in the long run.

Just saying.

PS: deepl.com is actually better than Google Translate for several languages - so you can start with that and even benefit :)
I sold all my ETH at 297 right after it was starting (I make sure to check the markets before I sleep because China is often more market moving than the US/EU). I've been worried about the truth of the recent statements made in China about closures. This is obviously totally anecdotal and I made a really, really lucky call. Can't say I thought it would continue to go down this heavily. I consider any money I've put in these markets mostly play money anyways.

I wonder if you could hack a person's password from their mind by forcing them to go through the alphabet and monitoring their heart rate / brain activity for each letter of their password. There must be a way to detect based on their reaction when you're on the right character, like a lie detector.

I mean, I guess at that point you could just torture it out of them, but I wonder if this could work as a method that wouldn't count as torture.

Well, just yesterday, I had to go back a release from Ubuntu 17.04 to 16.04 because of some oscure DNS related systemd-resolved bug which I spent all day trying to fix.

Mind you, this bug has been under active discussion for a while now.

Since my 16.04 server is just a day old now, I'm thinking I'll bite the bullet and switch to a troublefree distro recommended in this thread.

I see this as an excellent way to monetize views and fairly good tradeoff.

The issue I see with it, mobile (I tried) is around 10x less. So while it works for desktop, for mobile it would be challenging to use this, on top of draining battery etc.

However, this is probably one of the rare unique ideas how to monetize users presence on the site, and as such I welcome it and look forward to see how it will develop.

In Chrome I didn't notice that tab being out of focus decreases load, so it would work for as long as the site is open.
> My experience is that when people say FTP a lot of the times they can mean SFTP.

It's worse than that: FTP has come to mean file transfer generically. Lots of users refer to Dropbox as "FTP".
Last time I did the research there wasn't a striiiictly better alternative to systemd, which is rather unfortunate. There are flame wars beyond number on the subject and I'd rather avoid starting another one. For my two cents: I don't like how it's gobbling up all the functionality that used to be owned by separately maintained and tried/tested processes, in a way that seems to limit my ability to put together a minimalistic system, and the developers' attitude toward security and how they've handled criticism is not so great. I'll use it, but I don't like it.

For me, there are ecosystem/adoption reasons for why any alternative is a tough sell - any distro basically has to have the startup system baked into their package manager, if you're going to be able to install packages that depend on daemons, etc. So if updated package availability is a concern (and it is for me), I need a popular enough distro. And basically all the popular distros use systemd. So unless I want to make some pretty big compromises or do a ton of work, I'm stuck with it.

Cool, this is good news as it means I might actually be able to find out my credit score.

I recently sent in an application to Equifax to get my credit score along with all the security documents, proof of address, passport, drivers license, registered mail etc. and they rejected my application because I didn't provide a hydro bill. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and I don't pay hydro, so I sent in a copy of the lease agreement instead but that wasn't good enough :(

> If we had gone with the Audio Data API, it wouldn't have been satisfying, because the web platform's compute engine simply could not meet the requirement of reliably delivering audio samples on schedule.

1. I'm not convinced this is the case. From what I see, GC pauses constitute the big blockers, rather than event processing and repaints. Introducing an API that's friendlier to GC would be a huge win here.

2. We have WebWorkers. What would have prevented a WebWorker from calling new global.Audio() for the Audio Data API?
The Screen Actors Guild is an interesting model for professionals. They go much farther then most professional organizations in terms of protecting workers right, but they also don't have rules like you have to hire the actor with 20 years experience before you can hire one right out of school, or you have to pay everyone on the same scale. Also I don't think they have requirements like you must have attended 10 years of school and done 4 years of internship before your allowed legally to work in the field.

In regards to the tech companies, I cannot think of one that would fit this case, and if she is looking for a future career as a clinical social worker, a somewhat related position NOT using a license at a tech company wouldn't be all that relevant.
Right, they manage wages with entry limits and what amount to extended hazing rituals. And the power offered by controlling entry shifts negotiating tactics - strikes would rarely have a point. (Although doctors have gone on strike[1] in the US, it is just rare.)

They are still labor unions with government-recognized powers, and they carefully look after their members' interests.

Not to get into an argument about affirmative action, but if the problem is that minorities are often perceived as having a lower bar for entry, one of the few ways to ameliorate that perception is to actually hire minority candidates who do meet the "normal" bar for entry. Yes, skeptics will still be skeptics, but if an institution as renowned as Harvard is too scared by Fox News to take that action, than who isn't?

"you are the product"
I don't want to put words in the parent's mouth but I believe his point is that what is "fair" and what they "owe" are up for debate. Additionally, his question hints at a potentially equally significant and subtle issue: is the effort to capture this increased tax revenue from 4 companies really worth the potential costs on a society to get them?

$5bn isnt going to balance Greece's budget. Setting aside the potential arguments defending Google (I have genuinely have no opinion on them or any of the other companies), a comprehensive law that requires every internet company to track every dollar by country and pay proportional taxes on their revenue could, in my opinion, severely cripple innovation in a continent that is finding itself falling behind at a global scale due to a variety of macro-issues. I like to give governments the benefit of the doubt that they won't do something silly like that, but then I look at this net neutrality issue and start to wonder.

Bottom line, there does not appear to be a consensus on this issue "morally" (for lack of a better word) which is why we're seeing such diversity of views on HN and globally. Just throwing it out there...

> The NLRA protects any concerted effort among employees to improve workplace conditions. You don't have to be an "NLRB-governed union" to organize.

I understand that the NLRA contains provisions which protect employee activity in a non-unionized workplace, but this entire thread beings with the question "do you think tech-workers will begin to unionize?", not "do you think tech-workers will begin to make an organized effort to improve workplace conditions".

In that context, saying "Most professionals also belong to labor unions... called professional associations" implies a conflation of the two. And that's an important distinction, because most professional associations' activities don't even fall under the purview of the NLRA at all.
> What part of "Iraq is essential to the sovereign protection of the borders of the USA" do you .. not understand?

What are you talking about? Iraq was not mentioned in the original comment.

Also, this "The USA has invaded, and destroyed, far, far more territory, resulting in 100x more human suffering and misery." is grossly untrue. Neither country is free of fault here, but for every Afghanistan, or Iraq, there is a North Korea or East Germany.

I don't really see why foreign companies should be paying any (non-sales) tax in the EU at all. If you ship a physical product to the EU from China, no-one expects the Chinese factory to pay taxes on their EU revenues.

Of course tech companies are not blameless here, they have decided that paying taxes in Ireland is preferable to paying taxes in the US, but if they had their tax location in the US, I don't see how the EU would have a leg to stand on.

> there's also probably 400 other repositories on GitHub with the same problem.

As I said in a sibling thread, it's not just that it was forked, it's that it was forked and then intended/was advertised as competition. Forking and keeping the name Caddy for private use isn't a problem, so I doubt many of those other repositories are actually a problem.

> I created this issue before the "you're violating our (unregistered) trademark!" issue was created.

If this situation arises again, it may be better to wait until the name issue is resolved before advertising it to a forum of people. Regardless of what your future intentions were, you were competing at that point, and you hadn't dealt with the naming yet. I understand the desire to both capitalize on the issue and help those that feel the same as you about this, but doing so here stepped on the rights of another individual or group.

> My intentions were good from the start, please don't talk to me as if that was not the case.

I think the intentions of the people with claim to the Caddy trademark that contacted you were good as well. The difference is that you noted the claim here and also editorialized it with a sarcastic "classy!". Really, it's that last bit which spurred the tone in my response, since it implies bad behavior on their part for what is essentially protecting what they consider theirs (and something they are legally required to do if they want to keep it). Without that, you might have gotten a more measured reply, or none at all as others might have been sufficient. Your intentions might have been good from the start, but they could have been a little better when deciding the wording for that announcement.

No, you wouldn't have to pay taxes in Germany. But, if you sell to German businesses, such as providing hosting services then they wouldn't be able to deduct that as costs when calculating their taxes.

They would only be able to deduct German costs, defined as the employment of someone with a NI number (or German equivalent) or another business with a tax number.

The AMA tries to restrict the number of doctors in the US and creates crises instead of letting people study to become doctors. Because they're incompetent at the goal of keeping the public healthy, and exceptionally competent at keeping doctor salaries high, you get something indistinguishable from regulatory capture.

"Authenticated" is debatable. Someone has spent a few minutes on a third-party website to enable the green checkbox. Whether that means they are who you think they are is another matter.
Same here.. I applied for a loan and they found that Equifax doesn't even have my report (although the other two do). After countless phone calls they agreed to start the investigation and then the hack happened. The whole concept of private credit bureaus (that to multiple ones whose data dont match up) is fucked up. I think the federal govt should step in an put a stop to this.
