> Why are companies ... telling workers to attend 'lgbt tolerance' meetings

Often, companies requires employees to undertake training in this area because the company is legally required to provide a workplace that is free from anti-LGBT discrimination (likewise, anti-racism, sexual harassment, etc)
Or remove all signs and rely on right-of-way. That's the cheapest solution and works pretty well. If traffic is too heavy install traffic lights.
My comment was about the people featured in this type of article, and people who feel they are “better” than the rest for not making a mainstream decision.

If your reason for not using social media is concerns over privacy, then maybe you don’t fall into the above classification, and what I said doesn’t apply to you.

Either way, I wasn’t talking about privacy concerns, and you responded as if my entire comment was an attack on people with said concerns. Which it wasn’t.

Considering that Apple hasn't kept most of its Mac line updated, I wish Apple would bring in longer life for newer models by making it easier to replace (CPUs where feasible), RAM and storage easily or through third party services.

Usually, a RAM and a storage upgrade could make an old machine perform better and remain useful for longer. Or make for a better hand-me-down to someone else.

Practically though, I don't see Apple either working on its Mac line regularly or making it easier to upgrade certain parts of Macs easily. Maybe the 2019 Mac Pro will tell us what exactly Apple has in mind.

Not blindly following a trend or mindlessly using (or being used by) technology is definitely a plus. The point is about reflection, being able to justify one's position.

> But you're not a special snowflake just because you don't have an app installed on your phone...

Name-calling does not much to solidify your position in this discourse, neither does over-generalization.
The marketplace may "set the going rate for labour" and all, but oligopoly and cartel-ism artificially depress wages.

Much like walmart, Amazon's wages do not respect the costs it takes to survive and continue working. It's just that simple. If you want your workforce to be able to do their jobs, they need to be afford a living standard above poverty.

Anything else is either asking taxpayers to fund your business, or financially gaslighting your workers into failure. How is either option acceptable?

Much like Walmart has historically done, Amazon warehouse workers in the US get "coached" in how to get food stamps. If you get sick, you risk getting fired. Get too old, you risk getting fired. Need too much time off? You guessed it... All of this is federally illegal, but conservative state laws make it impossible to hold any company accountable.

Move over to their sysadmin side, and you'll see wages $10-20k less / year than the competition, for 80 hours work in a week instead of the average 60. And the same issues of what'll get you fired show up here as well.

Combined with the fact that Amazon avoids paying taxes, this makes Jeff Bezos the biggest welfare queen in existence.

Anyone else wanna kick Jeff Bezos off welfare?

>have had posts flagged and received constructive feedback from dang

I don't consider it constructive at all. In fact it's often just been used to stop a conversation with no clear purpose or direction. It's been pretty vague, with really whimsical throwbacks to the guidelines that he's never been able to elucidate on which part I'm violating.

>I nevertheless find that your posts tend to be strident

They're blunt when I know people are not commenting in good faith or they've made no effort to actually educate themselves about a subject (the former and latter are often intertwined). I will not be changing my tone on such posts.

>I wish that you could find ways to engage which are more in line with the HN guidelines.

Which guidelines? So far as I've seen it's only based on which opinions are popular and are worded in a faux-intellectual manner and then you can basically get away with anything. I had the CEO of Bitlocker basically tell me I was worth less than his dog (because his dog does not have the ability to criticize him) and lo and behold guess which one of us got dang's attention. There are countless examples of this pattern that do not involve me, but other users on this site.

I don't say anything I wouldn't say to anyone's face on here, so I'm certainly not going to be try to be even more academically-cutesy on the internet than I am even in person. A yesteryear account actually had my name and company information on it. Too bad that my place of employment started getting harassed by hard right-wingers for my comments on here (the only place any alias of mine has has had personal information on it has been this site).

But the point is I am being honest, topical, and forthright so any any claims that I'm causing threads to spiral into flame wars seem a bit over the top.

And, as with Pascal's wager, that's unconvincing: one could spend all that money differently, on things one would like (just as in Pascal's wager, choosing to believe in God isn't cost-free: it means loving others, being charitable &c., even if one would rather not).

Ignoring the moral/ethics concerns, how would a potential buyer know that the data is legit (if it even exists at all?).

Give me a couple of days and I'll create a fake -but real looking- set of records with millions of false customers (it would be made real enough by using public information)...

If you tell me that they'll provide an extract as "proof", I'll answer: it's easy to cook-up a realistic small sample, just using and remixing former leaks/hacks for instance...

In summary: the money aspect makes the data MUCH more suspicious than a "bragging/4tehLULz" hack.

My first thought when reading the "suddenly stopped" quote is that it was probably at a stop light or sign, and the car actually stopped as directed by the law, then proceeded to move forward to turn, versus the progressive rolling stop that nearly everyone does.
And then there are the PITAs on the merging lane who slow down to a stop and wait for an opening. I actually hit someone that way once because this is exactly the opposite of what you're supposeud to do. fortunately, we were both driving big gas guzzler beaters and no damage was done to either car. We joked that they sure don't make them like they used to and went along our merry way.

Ironically, this incident happened on the way to my first day at Google but that's another story. And that story didn't end anywhere near as well when I refused to agree with Jeff Dean that GPUs had no future at Google (2011). Or to paraphrase Jim Croce: "You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger and you don't disagree with Jeff."

I am guessing some people think the above story is not relevant to this thread but I note that Waymo is owned by the parent company of Google and that those Waymo cars rely heavily on GPUs.
I have this exact same question. I've found some conventions over the years that have been helpful, but haven't found anything comprehensive.

I mean, there's also the fact that these stories never tell you how prevalent or not these services are. All the attention showered on these unusual services can give you the idea that every second person in Japan is using them when that's far from true.
If ever there was a self-fulfilling prophecy, that's it. There's a first time for everything. And in fact, there's a proven way to make people decide to have fewer kids: make them rich. People in more affluent societies generally choose to have fewer kids, to the point where the fertility rate in some places (Japan, Italy) is below the replacement rate. So it clearly can be done.
> Very few people there are irreplaceable

Ah, but they're not replaceble fast enough. It's hard to get a scab up to speed quick enough. It could take weeks before someone's able to come in at short notice and replace a sysadmin. Hence the employees could take the website down for an hour or so...

>Honestly, all of these "I refuse to use social media!" type articles just remind me of people who spam "all the music of this generation sucks; I'm 14 and I was born in the wrong generation" on YouTube videos.

So? They aren't that off.

There's this widespread belief that things are either (a) constant, always equally good, or (b) improving all the time. Some people think music for example belongs to (a). But any student of the history of art will know that there are periods where great works come out (in this or that art), and periods where there is drought, or which the main output is crap, and few things last (or even interest people at their own time).

Now, music today has tons of outlets, and there are good works in niche spheres across various genres that sell little or nothing.

But that the mainstream charts are getting worse and more formulaic (and money driven) is a near certainty. In fact it has even been studied, that chart topping songs have lost both melodic and harmonic richness, have flattened their dynamic range (the "loudness wars"), and have regressed several school years in vocabulary used.

>Social media exists as a way to facilitate communication online over a long-distance

That was the demo. The real product has been used for much more, and much worse, than that (from bullying to fake news, and from propaganda to surveillance).

As McLuhan said, the medium is the message, and the way social media structure communication is more important than what is communicated.

>But you're not a special snowflake just because you don't have an app installed on your phone...

Well, if most everybody else has it, then by definition they are a special snowflake, at least in that regard.

And since that's quite a big part of how people today spend their time (1-3 hours a day on social media), that person is probably a special snowflake in other regards too. For one, they get to form their thoughts outside the social media echo chamber...
This happens so frequently, and is easy to scan for, sadly.

US desperately needs self-driving cars. Desperately. I don't think most people realize how much. Because they've never seen a city with good public transport where most people don't own or care about cars. But achieving good public transport in US is impossible for cultural reasons.

So there's no public transport so most expensive areas will fight to the death to keep population density low. Because more people means more cars means more traffic means whole place becomes terrible. End result: cost of living is too high, commutes too long. Not exactly the way I'd like to live.
Once self driving cars come to Boston, locals will just figure out how to go around them. If you honk and ride an AV’s tail close and it pulls over, everyone will do that. It’s a guarantee

Run shadow clones of your current system parallely with Docker
All other things being equal it's better to leave amicably. But sometimes it's just not possible. For instance, if you are being subjected to flagrant harassment, I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue you need to do anything beyond the legal minimum out of some sense of obligation.

I don't know if laying cable is one of your biggest challenges, but I assume it would be along with right-of-way.

What do you think about the idea of using the sewer system to lay either fiber or 10+gb copper? Before you think about how gross that is, consider the advancements in drone robotics. You would need to devise a cable-laying robot that could traverse the sewer via remote control. Mount fixtures to the top of the pipes and string the cables through, connecting neighborhoods.

This would require convincing the city to lease you the right-of-way and put up a bond to cover any repairs to damage caused by the cables. But it would solve both the bandwidth problem and the "those are our telephone poles!" Problem. What do you think?
AWS Glacier provides a pretty cheap[0] backend for such a service. You could store 1TB for 1000GB * $0.004/(GB * mo) = $4.00/mo, which is dirt cheap, all things considered. Retrieval is about 10x that, per GB, but generally if you are storing backups, you aren't concerned about retrieving it too often, so that cost is acceptable. Compare this to the S3 bucket costs for the same storage size($10/mo for infrequent access, and $24/mo for standard), or to google drive 1TB tier ($10/mo, but no API as far as I know).

I just bought a Nokia 3310 3G and plan to curb my smartphone use completely. I'm sick to death of looking at my phone being the only thing I do. I used to do things at night, projects, hobbies, meeting people, and going places. I drive places now via GPS and have no recollection of how I got there. Driving without GPS makes you actually look at your surroundings and enjoy them and start making mental maps again. That all stopped as smartphones took over my life. It almost feels like schizophrenia being connected at all times to all things, all people, and all information. It reminds me of the Black Shakes (Nerve Attenuation Syndrome) disorder from Johnny Mnemonic.

I have received the phone but can't use it yet because my sim hasn't come in the mail. It's tantalizing to not be able to turn off my smartphone just yet. But I can feel the freedom when I hold that dumbphone Nokia.

>And of course, nobody ever says "you're going 80, the speed limit is 55! slow down!"

incorrect
Yep. If anything, things are worse now. You HAVE to give consent to do anything useful on the website (so blocking the notice won't work), and in the consent form it's usually very hard to turn tracking off, full of dark patterns.

Not legal from the perspective of GDPR, sure, but it seems that everyone is doing it.

How accurate Chipotle's calorie counts really are (2015)
I took this maybe in a different way.

I don't think the point is, "no need for so much software tooling" but rather, "software tooling by itself isn't sufficient."

(And that "underlying hard-work, the focus on stuff that matters, and courage to make a decision" are much more significant.)
The point of the text is that a need, and an understanding precede the use of any tools. The use of a tool without a need or an understanding does not help at best, and is harmful pretty often.

You do not become a photographer by buying a lot of gear. You train your eye, study, and maybe buy gear eventually when you know why you need it.

You do not become a software developer buy buying a bunch of supercomputers. You study, you start with smallest things, and maybe you buy hardware eventually, or deploy a lot of cloud instances, when you know why you need it.

You do not become a successful company by quickly raising tons of capital. You study, learn about the markets and the needs of your prospective customers, start with building rather simple things, and maybe eventually you take hefty investments, when you know why you need it.

You can go on and on. The old adage is to use the right tool for the job. This begins with understanding the job, and understanding the need of tools. Then you can choose the tools. Starting with tools, especially expensive tools, and believing that the use of these tools will automatically help achieve success, is a mistake.

Pittsburgh has a wireless community network, http://www.pittmesh.net, which is run by Meta Mesh Wireless Communities, https://www.metamesh.org. I'm involved!

MMWC doesn't have its own fiber but does have access to KINBER's PennREN fiber network, a little-known gem in the commonwealth that happens to run down Fifth Ave and a few other main roads in the city. We're working on rolling out access to it. As we're a donations- and grant-funded non-profit, our rollout will be slower than a commercial operation.

Pittsburgh has a lot of fiber running through it, but most of it is commercial backbone fiber. One data center that I know of had 12 ISPs peering with it, and that was in 2009. Only Verizon FiOS has executed a residential rollout in the city, and you can read more about folks opinions on that in /r/pittsburgh.

I've passed this thread to the MMWC executive team for them to add more detail!
> I suppose non-pescatarians aren't a protected class so there's no legal argument.

Correct. But sometimes these things can bump into protected classes. Like if someone has a medical disability that would require them to eat enough of a certain thing. You can't punish them then
