Increasing the size of the pie doesn't mean anything unless you also increase the sizes of the slices people get.

Current inequality involves a larger pie, but with an ever smaller number of people getting the majority of the cake, so that others get the same old portions or less (despite working even harder than a company-man or union worker in the 50s and 60s).
By saying unions are the fix, you're implying that corporations are too powerful (or hold more power against employees). This was explicitly stated in the article.

> One possible reason is that employers are growing increasingly powerful.
So, do phone numbers get recycled?

For instance, if I change phone company and decide not to keep the number or they're unable to transfer it, can it be assigned to someone else?
> Your browser then sends Referer: ...

While I don't doubt dataskydd's good intentions, their advice about referrers is a sign that we live in Clown World.

Yes, your browser's tendency to provide a referrer might well give away information you would prefer it didn't. Unfortunately for you, the browser vendors have chosen to provide browsers that do that.

In a parallel universe it would be obvious that this is a problem (among many) for the browser vendors to address. In Clown World, you are supposed to rely on each and every site providing a special response header.
Companies have been making that same complaint for 5 years, wages still stagnate.
I think this is it. I think there is more slack in the labor market than is shown by traditional unemployment figures and that people that would have traditionally retired are still in the labor force.
There is a threat of legislation. The government has made clear that, should the industry not voluntarily implement pornwalls (with default opted-in), they would have easily legislated (nobody wants to end up in The Sun as "the MP for porn"). This accelerated after the Tories got in, but it was already lingering before. All major ISPs now have a default pornwall.
The best way is unfortunately to find a better offer from an other employer.

Then you either take that offer or get a decent counteroffer from your current place.

It's a lot of work and inconvenience, which is one reason it actually works.

You start by not giving everyone an "ID" but a hardware token with a chip in it. The person who has that chip and the corresponding private.

The only real attack against that is supply-chain attacks, which is why the government buying such tokens should audit the whole supply chain, and they should either pay for a replacement if the tokens are ever compromised or make the manufacturer pay if it's their fault.
In my highly opinionated...opinion it's far easier to transform a tab into 1 space, 2 spaces, 3 spaces or n spaces than to attempt the reverse for coding while still preserving the underlying indentation.
Two completely different rebuttal options to the “IDE can display them with any width” argument:

1) Your IDE can parse code and reformat it in literally any way you want. This includes indentation width (regardless of whether the code is actually stored using tabs or spaces), but also things like line width, semicolons, string quoting style, etc. (e.g. Prettier for JavaScript), or even using completely different language syntaxes that have the same semantics (e.g. Ocaml and ReasonML).

2) Stylistic code formatting choices, while completely ignored by the computer, are important for humans. Some style choices can have significant effects on engineering quality. The obvious example is variable names, but perhaps a subtler example is that a wide indentation width can discourage deep nesting.
Negotiating only works when you have leverage. And the people with stagnating wages have no individual leverage. Unions work by grouping individuals with no leverage into a larger negotiating unit that does have leverage.

So yes, if you can go to your boss and demonstrate your value to your organization and your value above and beyond any replacement they can find, then you shouldn't need a union. But if that's not the case and your work is in any way fungible, then a union can definitely help tip the balance of power between employees and businesses that try to hoard all the profits for the owners.
A lot of that unemployment is low because of tricks like counting people with part-time jobs forced on them (that might still work full time to not get fired) as properly employed, or anybody that gave up looking for a job as employed, or anybody that has some occasional gig in the last 6 months as employed and so on. Not because many people have steady, quality jobs.

org-mode has an implementation of several spaced repetition algorithms, which is what Anki is using under the hood and what was originally invented for SuperMemo. The module is called org-drill.

I'm in the process of turning many knowledge aspects of my life into a personal knowledge base inside org-mode. For books I'm reading, I find it invaluable to create org-mode items. One per concept. Sometimes I don't even bother filling the content. E.g. I just use a title like "Hadamard transform definition" and nothing else. It'd be to time consuming to write up the definition, and it's pointless as that's in the book anyway.

Then, org-drill brings up some of this cards according to the spaced-repetition algorithm. I answer them with pen and paper. Sometimes I need to prove a theorem, or recall a definition like in the example above. I then open up a book to check my reply is correct and grade myself accordingly. It's a great system to systematize learning.
It's very common. Everyone realizes at some point in their career the simple, obvious truth: companies want to pay as little as they can to retain talent, which is obviously opposed to the employee's interest. They also don't want employees to have a hostile relationship with their manager, so they implement policies that seemingly remove their manager's wishes from the equation. Of course, that isn't true. The second that you walk in the door with a better offer, money will magically become available. Everything is negotiable.
Because unions have been corrupted and sold out for decades...
Its not an unreasonable metric, if a round trip through Stack Overflow is in your thought loop then you will be significantly more limited than someone who doesn't need that. If you are doing something very obscure then its reasonable, but most programmers don't do obscure things on a daily basis.

Its similar to being unable to do math in your head. You can get away with always using the calculator but you'll be outperformed by someone who can do it without dropping their pencil.
Well if I want to open a coffee shop and hire highschool students at $8/hr, as an employer I should be able to do that. But if someone who requires to provide for a family and needs $20/hr is willing to work for $8/hr at my coffee shop, that is their fault, not mine.
Nostalgia hurt... It's called grief. Grieve for things we can not change, can not fix. Calling it 'just a feeling of alienation'...

This deeply oversimplifies the complexities of life, the deepest tragedies, emotional pain. To lose something so beautiful, and to know it is gone, forever. That is grief that lasts a lifetime. It is a burden oneself must make appear to lighten over time, but, some types of sadness go into one's own core, every fiber and every root of one's own being.

A broken spirit, heart, soul. Through a reminder in the present, the slightest twinge of it trickles through, in the form of a memory, a connection leading to every interwoven emotion. It can be a kind of sadness that feels as though it never mends.

This is not the sort of thing to cover up with pleasantries for the benefit of others. The memory of being completely and totally disconnected from a most defining connections in one's own life - that is a type of suffering everyone can experience, and a kind of suffering everyone should have a deep respect for. It's not just nostalgia, because nostalgia comes back in waves, the attempt to bring back what is lost. Sometimes this works. But the death of a loving, shaping parent, or loss of connection to one's essential culture - that is something that, nothing fills that void entirely. There has to be respect for this. Everyone should have respect for this type of loss.
We often celebrate a person's life and accomplishments upon their passing. The exact phrasing of the above is a little odd, but celebrate can be the right expression here without necessarily meaning "I'm so glad they died."
We used to frequent the H Mart near us. It always has a great variety of vegetables at good prices, but for some reason they tend to go bad within a couple of days of purchase. Also, the produce is really only stocked on Saturday and Sunday. The produce mostly seems to be from "Rhee Brothers," which sounds like another Korean business. We now get our vegetables from the new Sprouts.

Their seafood selection is pretty good, though.

It's great to see the mostly Latino produce workers speaking some Korean to the management.
It depends on the company and culture. At my last company the environment was so toxic at the end they could make beer tasting a stressful job. So assuming the company has good culture, this list seems reasonable:

Those aren't tricks, they are the people doing the measuring making choices about what to measure.

Maybe the press should focus on U6, who knows.

This is reasonably misleading, as nothing at all stops a new government with a parliamentary majority from simply scrapping that law.
If workers didn’t accept those wages they would be destitute. Companies (capital) hold all of the power in our current economic system, it hasn’t always been like this in the US and isn’t in many other countries.
At my job, leadership and mgmt responsibilities are given before promotion, and those who do well are promoted to management much later. Those who do not do well in managrment are instead promoted if they stuck to what they are good at.

Oh also, promotions and raises are seperate. One is responsibility change, one is salary change.

This doesn't seem hard.
Where do people come up with this crap? It’s trivially false: Tom Cruise is a member of the SAG and can demand his wages however he likes.
Also, labor is relatively inelastic, if you are 'selling' yours. Switching jobs isn't like switching your brand of toothpaste. If workers could truly capitalize on the real value of their labor, nobody would stay at their job for more than 6 months.

And now we know why it's so broken. None of those methods should be used for true security (especially when you're talking about a billion people). Biometrics are not much better than SSNs - once they're stolen, it's game over (for life).

The reality is the government chose biometrics primarily so it can more easily track people. It wasn't to make it easier for them to use banking services.
First and foremost, learn how to negotiate. Read the book, "Never Split the Difference".

Secondly, start looking for another job. Once you have an offer in hand that you'd be willing to accept, you'll be in a better place to negotiate a raise.
I recently signed into a medical-related service that used a verification system like this.

They asked three questions. All of which were multiple choice and populated with a lot of obvious wrong answers.

Two of them were the year and model of a car I (no longer) leased, and one was a direct "what county do you live in?" which is trivial from the address.

If you physically drove by my house any time when the garage door was open in the last three years, you had a decent chance of knowing the right answers. If you had access to the DMV records, you had the right answers. And on the flip side, I hate to imagine how this would have worked for, say, a scholarship student at age 20 with no credit file.

Enjoy reading my lab test results. I feel so secure.
It is maddening that there is even still a "discussion" happening. Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. Didn't even get mentioned in the article. All the pros, zero cons. Enough of this. Enough, enough.

"Use tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment: the superior approach. Code is indented and aligned properly, and indentation is flexible. Use spaces for both indentation and alignment: still fine, but not flexible enough. Use tabs for both indentation and alignment: completely unacceptable, leads to headaches."

Since this also happens every time, if you're currently writing a harebrained reply about "mixing tabs and spaces!!!!", you don't understand what's being discussed and should permanently recuse yourself from the conversation.

TL;DR -- A company's compensation strategy is often not optimized for retaining the best employees.

As I understand it, in any organization with formalized job classifications, each job classification has a compensation range attached to it. To keep things simple, let's say that each position has a fixed salary attached to it, and that salary is automatically adjusted upwards to match increases in the cost of living. So if you're a Software Engineer 1 (SE-1), and you want to get a raise, you need to become a Software Engineer 2 or higher (SE-2+).

So how do you go from an SE-1 to SE-2+? Figure that out, and you'll have figured out a path to predictably negotiating a higher salary. If you find yourself in a position where the company will is actively help you advance your career, consider yourself fortunate :) . It's not uncommon to work for an employer who doesn't help much with career advancement, and it's often easier to get a pay bump by moving to another company.

> a) your IDE can display them with any width, making it easier to follow long passages with deep indentation, and b) they could free up the editor from requiring a mono space font.

Both points (and more!) can be resolved if the on-disk format is not considered directly the on-screen format. Instead if the on-disk format is considered a serialization of the AST and editors would display it with "just-in-time" formatting based on user-preferences, then that would resolve the tabs vs spaces discussion once and for all.

Incidentally I'm a fan of the concept of structured editing etc.

It is a bit hard to know what exactly he means by "socitech", but I don't think it the same as what you mean by "social". Things like writing maintainable code isn't provable, but something requires subjective considerations. Most of that knowledge doesn't come from math, but areas like systems thinking. Which is more towards social sciences.

This bit in the middle is striking:

Charles Gaines (author of Stay Hungry and co-author of Pumping Iron): Among other things that’s not widely understood about bodybuilders, I think, is how good they feel. Working out they have these endorphins cascading their bodies. They’re eating enough meat for a male lion every day, and lying in the sun and screwing whoever they want to screw. It was a kind of paradise. They’re always tanned and they’re in great shape. That sense of physical well-being and pure physical pleasure was a big part of that scene.

Drasin: We’d go to the Marina on Friday and Saturday nights to pick up women. Donkin’s Inn, Charlie Brown’s, Captain’s Wharf, The Warehouse. They’d go crazy over us. They’d never seen anything like it.

Bill Pettis (bodybuilder): I had like 10 girlfriends. I said, “Jane, you’re Tuesday. Sally, you’re Wednesday.” We were broke, but we lived like kings.

What follows is more sordid, but still recalls gladiators, minus the bleeding ...
I mean, in nearly every country, there’s de facto already one that defines quality of life as being equivalent to engagement in any activity which increases the GDP of the country.
Unions and increasing the minimum wage. It used to work, until we intentionally broke the system.
If I could only find work at $8/hr that is my fault. I could get a student loan and go to a trade school or study CS and make $80k+ in 3 years. Any adult that requires to care for a family and chooses to work for $8/hr is harming themselves.
Rome wasn't built in a day, because C.C. Myers didn't have that contract
This article is many months old. More recent data is showing solid wage growth. Nevertheless, many of the comments on underlying economic challenges for workers are still valid.
No one is proposing forcing you into a union Brian, they are pointing out that people in low leverage jobs are likely to benefit from unionizing.
It's not like an IOU. They are literally signed (by both parties of the channel) transactions that have yet to be broadcasted and included into blocks. You aren't sending something that is worthless to the counterparty. You both agree what the channel balance is. If there is a disagreement to the state of the channel, the base layer is the ultimate arbiter.

It's a smart contract between two parties.

I would go further than that and only allow single formatting style in the language at all. Make inconsistent/non-standard formatting a syntax error.
Saw the same listicle. Unfortunately most of those roles would be way too dull IMO. Wish it were possible to make being a developer low stress.
But companies can't increase wages if it makes them uncompetitive. I think a huge downward pressure on wages is the fact that more industries have moved into "winner take all" economics, so all of the also-rans face immense pressure to keep costs down in an attempt to compete.

Consider the bloodbath in retail. Amazon possesses so many structural advantages at this point that other retail companies are forced to do everything they can to keep costs low. A raise in wages could very easily make them even more uncompetitive with Amazon.

Well, that's what I (and the author, I believe) are getting at. In the long term, it's almost definitely better to reuse what's already there and is tried, true and tested. But that's in the long term. When you're giving daily (!) status reports and trying to justify your existence, you're better off pointing to something that you programmed than at time you spent learning something. Organizations are shooting themselves in the foot by holding learning in such low regard.
They are clearly desperate for work. Bettering yourself via education at a trade school, or University is not difficult. But if you got a degree in Psychology and now work at a coffee shop for $8/hr to support a family, you put yourself in that situation.
Wages are always booming -- if you have the right skills. Generic "wage booms" aren't a thing that exists in a normal economy. There are a number of fields right now where there is an absolute shortage i.e. the number of qualified people at any price point is smaller than the number of jobs.

The point people often overlook is that, by and large, people cannot be easily trained into most kinds of roles that are experiencing strong wage growth. There is no easy way to satisfy a labor shortage that requires several years of training and experience to gain competency. But that is the reality.

Consequently, you have large numbers of $300k jobs that no one can fill and large numbers of people that can't find a job at $50k. These are separate markets.

I played around with various indentation styles and also eventually came to a preference of one space --- all the space savings(!) of tabs, with none of their odd behaviour. As an additional bonus, the column counter of the text editor doubles as a display of the indentation level.

That said, when working with shared code I believe what's more important is "micro-consistency" : the exact style doesn't really matter, as long as it's not so inconsistent that it confuses someone inspecting a function or file. One or ten spaces, or tabs, all applied consistently are far better than things like misleading indentation or mixed tabs and spaces in the same block of code.
