There is a very high price to pay to make up for ruining your body in some types of work involving repetitive and straining motions. Only reason is until now people didn't have options and had to do it, and didn't know about it. But now people are living longer, and there's lots of data about how different occupations fare in their later years. Any kid can see the lifestyle difference between the kids of manual laborers versus office workers.

Being able to see your family on a regular basis, being home, not risking your life driving everywhere, all of these have to be made up for in pay.

> generally well-paid [1]

Three seconds on google suggests that they make <40k in my area, typically. That's definitely not well paid, especially for a job that's fickle and physically demanding. Hell, that's barely above minimum wage (I'm in a $15/hr area, minimum wage is $32k) - I can get an office job tomorrow paying close to the same with basically no effort.

As usual, whenever someone blames labor for labor shortages, just look at the wages. If you pay less than a waiter earns with tips while demanding more out of your workers, don't expect people to be lining up at the door. Same goes for farm labor. Same goes for teachers. Same goes for truckers. And so on.

Never mind the energy used to prop up the Militaries, financial systems, & other centralized industries?

The real "problem" is that Bitcoin mining is harder to centralize & control, so certain jet-setting, energy-guzzling, interested parties will play the morality card. The general population is not allowed to use untaxed energy, but those who control the energy are allowed to. It's the original scheme of civilization.

> I wonder what the chances are that you believe in man made climate change?

Key in on the word "believe". It's a faith. Not saying the climate is not changing, but I am suggesting we ought to have healthy skepticism & awareness of the history of the networks of people (i.e. the priesthood) who demand that we allow them to tax energy; lest the wrath of the gods (e.g. Gaia in this case) tear us asunder with their judgment. Unless you pay your tribute, using their money, of course.
Because, at least from the municipality's perspective, supply is constrained.
SQLite makes a ton of sense for systems that don't need to worry about concurrent writes. It's possible that a CDN's cache system might need to concern itself with concurrent writes.
How cool if they could though?
I understand that a central respository of work and the need to make the busywork scale cleanly and linearly makes it tough to be decentralized, but I regularly wish that a dominant cryptocurrency could find a way to do proof of (real) work with these cycles. There are so many projects which just lack for computing power (e.g. folding, prime hunting, etc), so it feels like even more of a waste to turning real power into arbitrary hashes.
>older people in their 50's and 60's

I edited "most people" to "many people" because I really don't have the numbers.

From anecdotal experience from friends and family, I'd think most people won't make it through 40 years of hard manual labor without injury. For every 60 year old you see on a job site, we don't know how many of their peers have stopped working construction.
Seems like even the US is converging on that shitty formula.
Prices are definitely rising, but it's debatable whether that's due to a labor shortage.
Is it /the/ saurik?!

My thanks for Cydia too.
Honestly, on paper I see US collapse coming closer then China, or May be EU first. The Chinese population still has bank savings that is double their GDP. DOUBLE!.

Which is something no western media want to cover, for one reason or another.

I see lot of medium to small problem in China, largely fixable and are being fixed right now. For US I see lots of large problems, ticking bombs and it seems no one want to touch it.

Yep. My Father-in-law worked logging, fishing boats, and construction all his life and is now mid-70's, strong as an ox, very fit, very capable and knows how to do just about anything. Still working construction. Lighter jobs, but still.

He's lost his hearing, but that's genetic; nothing to do with his labor.

Apple becomes the first company in history with a trillion dollar valuation
It's scary when a company with chronic implementation issues decides to take on a hard problem that is way outside its core competency.

If they succeed, it means slightly improved efficiency and cutting NVidia's profit margin out of their cost structure. If they fail, it would cost billions, and obscure chip bugs could put lives at risk. That risk/reward doesn't seem worth it unless you really know what you're doing and are confident you will succeed.

Of course, it fuels the hype machine in the short term.
OK, good to know that I am still sane. I started reading the article, and was very confused. I think I need more coffee.
Apple Is Officially a Trillion Dollar Company as Shares Cross $207 Mark
If the revenue from the money transfers business is 30 billions per year and the cost of electricity is 0.12 U$D per KW/h. Then the cost, in energy terms, of the money transfer business is 250 TW/h in a year. This is a lower bound.[1]

Bitcoin miners are consuming in the order of 73TW/h[0] annually.

Let's consider those quantities equal for the next argument:

Isn't it a good thing that crypto is generating business for the energy sector? If those revenues are invested in more energy research it is favorable to human kind, isn't it?

Why deny the energy sector its business and favor the financial sector?

The 'How it works' link doesn't go to that section. In general, the landing page could tell me everything on one laptop screen. The least important thing to me is giving you my email and putting it at the top of the information hierarchy makes me worried that the site is mainly about harvesting an email address. To put it another way, giving you my email has a cost to me and the site asks for that payment before telling me what I am buying.

Good luck.
Your older Fiskhorn is no more 'right' than my new Fishkorn

I'm not so sure.

"Fiskhorn" was probably named after a person or family. Like The Bronx in New York.

Changing it to "Fishkorn" erodes the neighborhood's history.

If you've lived most of your life in newer states, you may be used to made up place names. But in older cities/towns/states, place names have meaning. Often historic meanings. Knowing a little bit about the local history, you can read a story just by looking at a map.

Changing historic place names doesn't make the new names "right" just because the person who made the change thinks it's so.
Apple becomes the first $1T company
Which I would argue is only possible _because_ unions have mostly disintegrated. Scabs are a lot harder to hire, especially illegal immigrant scabs, if there's a union around to hold the company accountable.
> Majority, not all. Why should they leave money on the table, exactly?

It may be that they are, in fact, driving users away. Tracking user behaviour can become a distraction.
Personally I used David Lay's Linear Algebra and Its Applications as my first linear algebra book. It's more formal than Gilbert Strang's famous text book, but less formal than Linear Algebra Done Right. It's emphasis on geometric intuition really struck home, particularly the discussion on coordinate systems, change of basis, and quadratic forms.
Apple just hit a $1 trillion market cap
SMS has been free (or very nearly free) for at least ten years over here. Pretty much any phone plan comes with unlimited messages or something like 10k/month, which most users won't reach.
But what if I want to retire with a healthy body not a crippled one?
By your argument if somebody is lucky, successful, and prideful, but feels no desire to help others, wouldn't that apathy also be a result of genetics and environment? And thus you couldn't blame them for it or expect them to act any differently.
Overheard a construction manager talking about workers making over $120k in SF —-with overtime
My guess -

In the short term, those who read it based on signaling value (the "pretenders") will be worse programmers than those who read it purely for fun ("the originals").

But in the long term, action matters more than intent. Those who kept "pretending" and kept learning (no matter the reason) will be just as good or better.
> To benefit from cheaper electricity, you have to use it, and traditionally that's been through employing people to operate machines. If the companies got a cash subsidy instead, they would probably pocket the cash without doing as much as they promised to do to get it.

Money is fungible. Whether they're saving it by having cheaper electricity or getting cut a check is irrelevant.
All they have to do is offer 300k a year and unlimited PTO.
Ez.
The Expensive Education of Mark Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley
So why don't they just pay workers more if they need more.

Let demand drive price. This is a clear example of where you don't need a union. Because the companies will simply have to pay more. No need for a union to negotiate higher wages.
Yes, it spoils the opening scene. It's a deliberate twist that isn't revealed until several minutes in.

Anyways, it doesn't matter and my comment didn't contribute to good HN discussion. Apologies to all.

> If you make construction like a video game, “young people” will flock to it

That's not why "young people" aren't getting into construction. Fact is, there are easier jobs that pay about the same that are way easier to get into and won't destroy your body by the time you're 40.

Taking the "destroy your body by the time you're 40" out of the equation might help, but the problem with construction definitely isn't the lack of video games.

And... treat it like a business. Show up on time. Answer your phone/text/emails. If you need to cancel, give notice.

I'm continually flummoxed at how generally bad service industries are in many areas. We had one guy cutting our lawn. BEST EVER. Younger kid - showed up on time, notified ahead when he was coming, would notify if he couldn't make it re: weather delays, then would give us updated time/date. Even more "professional" than professional services we've used. We had one good year, then "I'm going to college, and can't do this any more". He could probably earn more expanding out his operation than he will from whatever college degree he will get. :(

What does that have to do with what the OP said? That is quite the opposite of neutrality. And the fact she self-identifies as 'left-wing' says everything you need to know.
I'd really like to hear thoughts on how this applies to remote teams. I find that async standups via slack are pretty damn helpful for keeping everyone appraised of what is going on across 5 timezones.

Process and communication are kind of key, aren't they?
OSHA has largely supplanted union safety regulations but the real issue killing this work is just workforce education.

We spend thousands to pay for 12 years of public education for each student to teach them things like Calculus and Geopolitics and Literature only for them to perform manual construction labor that an illegal immigrant from Central America with zero schooling can do?

I'd like to see your thoughts on Love. I've been using it for the past week and so far it's my favorite game-making environment (I've tried a lot of other tools).

I like being able to just sit down and code rather then spend hours trying to understand someone's gui with a bunch of tools I probably don't need for my tiny project. Never tried Lua before this and I'm finding it pretty comfy too.
I have. It's always the hardest part, and I understand it's what I need to work on. Also, I wasn't focusing much on diet early, because I was just establishing the fitness habit. Now I'm turning more towards the diet side.

Not really Stockholm syndrome.

GW2 (experienced at launch for 6 months): awesome game to create random groups as everyone gains from it. Hard to be an ass and you get nothing but maybe some sick joy from it. Honestly: I did not get any huge wholesome experience with anyone: get in zome event group, kill some NPC, do some WvW against anonymous people.

Darkfall Online: pure PvP game with player looting. Being a bad person was really rewarding. So it was always awesome to find legitimely good people and go kick some villains ass. Or help defend your neighbours city (who you're usually PKing all day and competing for mobz) against some other bigger imperialist. As being a PK give you something you get player killers. And if you enjoy playing the hero you just got ennemies with the same tools you have, non scripted and maybe smarter / better than you. Once you've experienced this kind of MMO it is hard to get the same highs from other games.

Stop Building Meaningless Startups
Sorry for making it about semantics when it should be about celebrating Duo and discussing the acquisition. I just don't love the term "cybersecurity" in the first place because HR (training, background checks) and facilities (physical security) are just as important to an overall security posture. I think proper IAM policy and implementation are part of that and none of them succeed in isolation.
Sure, that could still happen. But, they introduced it in 2014 and they are still on the road so they seem to be past the wildly unsafe stage I was expecting.

IMO, the largest risk is an over the air update killing a large number of people.

I love all these "Young people don't want $job_type any more". And then go on to talk about how the jobs don't pay enough, or aren't attracting talent because it's not interesting.

Over the past couple of decades the percentage of young people getting degrees has swelled, we've been encouraging everyone to get a degree. Did we expect people to remain in low paying jobs when they can do something else? Those student loans payments aren't making themselves.
I really like the idea. I work in a partially remote team and organising the standup in the morning can be tricky. There're a lot of low tech solutions to this problem but what I like about this service is that it takes the simple "story" approach from Instagram and uses that to solve the standup problem. Nice. Good luck!

My favorite phrasing of that is a quote that I think is from Oscar Wilde: "moderation in all things, including moderation."
The reason for the conflicts are rarely if ever at the package layer, and more often than not with upstream changing dependencies on a .x update.

This leaves the distro maintainers two choices: either recompile/restructure the whole distro to placate one upstream, or freeze said upsteam on an older version and suffer their social media wrath.
Alphas were cache coherent. The corner case you're talking about isn't a cache incoherency, it's ultra-weak consistency.

Some more detail:

Cache coherency essentially boils down to a guarantee that every thread sees the same total order of reads and writes to any given memory location. At any point in time, everyone agrees on what the value of a memory location is.

That said, there is trickery on defining time in this sense. The interconnects take time to send the messages back and forth, and it is possible for one memory request to issue after another one but complete first. (We can generally take the time of completion to refer to the time of a memory operation). The problem of consistency is a reflection of the fact that it is usually not necessary to wait for all of this traffic to settle down before progressing to other operations.

On many hardware systems, there are multiple banks of caches that can each talk to the interconnect independently. On Alpha, there is no logic to enforce ordering between banks. You can load a value from one bank, and then use that value to load an address from the other bank. And because of traffic, a write to the address may be visible on the main bus before the write to the value, so it's possible for a CPU to see the update of the pointer but not the value being pointed to.

The problem here is that, in multiprocessor systems, it is not generally the case that the total orders of individual memory locations (guaranteed by cache coherency) can be combined into a single, global total order of all of memory. Coherency is the partial order of a single memory location, while consistency is the partial order of all of memory at once.
With China in Civil war, it was paramount to bring over the Japanese to the new western alliance and keep it out of the forming soviet bloc.
The "inside out" paradigm of Prolog is what it is good for. Try to write complex procedural programs and you will be driven to insanity by the cuts, using logical failure to express procedural success, etc.

The original sin of conventional programming languages is that we write a sequence of operations that happen one after another in time. Thus we find concurrency, dealing with asynchronous events, and reacting effectively to the environment difficult.

Prolog makes writing simple parsers simple. Certain kinds of search problems are easy to solve, and some kinds of operations (say involving transitive closure) can be defined in two or three lines of Prolog that hopefully you could implement in 50 lines in a more normal language after looking at an algorithms book.

There has been a huge amount of research and commercial implementation of things that are like Prolog but different, for instance having built-in satisfaction solving, combinatorical optimization, etc. Prolog is backwards-chaining (finds rules to justify a conclusion) but other engines are forward chaining like Drools, the Jena Rules Engine, IBM iLog.

I would love to see this approach get more popular.
That's the point. You couldn't get the same deal as he got, because the industry has changed to be more worker-hostile since your father started.

No company in your industry has ever offered you anything like his union pension, because no companies in any industry (excepting maybe railroads?) offer anything like his union pension. They all stopped doing it some time between him and you.

The young people of today can't go back in time to when your dad was the same age. They have to take the jobs that are offered now. And the companies of now have worked very hard to bust the union influence of the past, so that they can offer crap pay and crap benefits, and shovel most of the risks of working the job onto the worker.

Young people are taking one look at that, and deciding to not even take one step down that career path. All this tells me is that young people are not as stupid as companies assumed them to be. The companies offering jobs that don't balance remuneration with worker risk then have to rely on workers with lower expectations, which is to say immigrants from countries with lower quality-of-life norms. They don't look at the work by judging the job in relation to other jobs in the US, but by comparing it to a similar job in their country of origin, and finding that it is X% better. Then the political scene changes, those workers start to dry up, and the companies are screwed--or, more accurately, hoist on their own petards.

I understood you as saying that we should choose to "rise above" emotional persuasion. You have good intentions but your advice is bad: our susceptibility to emotional persuasion is not something we can consciously remove, no more than the man can choose to rise above his condition.

The analogy to the 2nd man would be: standing up against emotional manipulation. For example, demanding laws against emotionally manipulative advertisements. This, I propose, is the path to a better civilization. Not just ignoring the problem.
