> The lack of accountability is my complaint. If you tell any employee that no matter what they do, their job is protected, you'll find them laughing at you when you assign them a task.

Well, you attribute this directly to Unions... so maybe there is a different kind of union that exists in a country with more social services that doesn't cause this. And that might explain the JAL. But like I said, Unions often have formal processes for people who aren't doing their work. Now, for folks who simply aren't doing a good job, you have to have an opinion about what must be done.

> I live in this environment and I see daily tasks that take minutes take hours to get done. Bigger projects which takes weeks or months get dragged all the time

I mean, I've worked at big non-union companies and I feel like I saw exactly that phenomenon as well. Perhaps that's more a feature of ineffective organizations?

> People still get paid and there are no consequences if objectives are not met. ... the magnitude of impact the union attitude has on work environment and productivity is considerably high.

Personally (perhaps I'm naive here?) I think if an organization that can't align and inform performance incentives with its workforce, be they union or not, is the result of a workplace and senior management problem. I know bad apple employees do exist, and they can be painful to work with and around. But I just have a hard time believing that it's a significant enough fraction to actually tank the company with no recourse.

> I definitely am a big fan of Tesla and love the way they do things, they have grossly underestimated the complexity of building a car.

I agree, but I think it's more that they don't get how to make good processes and align these over a large workforce, and a failure properly incentivize the workforce. When they were at a more artistic scale and the roadster's first-run bugs were worked out, they made fantastic cars for the most part.

On ARM openjdk has a lot of issues while oracle jdk/jre runs smoothly. Many apps will just crash under openjdk and if they run are much slower also on intel. It should be easy to benchmark this.

It is a reason why we moved to .net core entirely. I have nothing running Java anymore. Shame as I liked Clojure somewhat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment

There's this narrative that the major cause of improvement in conditions (civil rights, workers rights, child rights etc.) comes from government regulation. This is called legal prescriptivism. Another narrative is that things generally improve as the economy does, and are then codified into law. This is legal descriptivism.

Typically history moves forward with a mixture of both, but it should not be taken for granted that prescriptivism is always the only way progress happens, nor that prescriptive progress always positive.

IANAL but I would ping WSGR, F&W, Orrick... and be sure first that they're not representing your current employer.

Definitely build things on your own equipment, using different technologies, on your own time and nowhere near said company.

I'd like to understand this as well. It's a viable option for me if it truly works.
I agree. it creates a lot of very perverse incentives.

I'm not white yet from a very privileged background. I find the way you so casually equate ethnic origin and social background to be quite shocking frankly.
Regret is a subjective feeling, not always related to validity or usefulness. A better question could be what pitfalls to avoid when becoming a programmer, or when choosing a career path, etc.

The question may also suffer from sampling bias:

-Is a programmer and does not regret it (represented)

-Is a programmer and regrets it (represented, less likely to respond)

-Is not a programmer and does not regret it (not represented)

-Is not a programmer and regrets it (not represented)

Two think pads. They just didn't even come close to the battery life that Windows did. And I'm a very advanced used, been using Arch Linux since 2008, and have every part of my system tweaked. It just seemed like the hardware support and drivers weren't there. Specifically the T440s. I forget what model it was before that one. I'd also get suspend issues on both. I dumped a lot of time into it.
The numbers are not labeled in lights. Although this pic is blurry, this is SFO with both runways open: https://i.redd.it/hguxuyztxzdz.jpg

The night of the accident, the left runway was closed and lights were turned off.. and they were expecting two runways and to land on the one on the right. There's still no excuse for this happening with two ATP-rated pilots that have done this type of landing thousands of times, but you can kinda see how it is possible at least.

This also isn't unheard-of. For example, Harrison Ford had a similar issue where he landed his private plane on a taxiway at an airport with parallel runways.
Newer laptops supported by fwupd (fwupd.org) are more straightforward on linux. For the older ones, you take their windows bios image, and use Geteltorito (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flashing_BIOS_from_Linu...). Windows users open an exe file.
I mean in the 60s there was a famous project where the idea was to "solve" image recognition, with an estimate of few months tops. It's 2018 and the best of the best image recognition algorithms will say with 99% confidence that a sofa in a zebra print is in fact, a zebra, and our technological leap from 60s is just unimaginable. We have so much more computing power, yet we can't crack it fully. I feel like autonomous driving is the same - it's going to be amazing in some general cases, but it's going to fall apart at any normal situation that can happen on the road - and it's those edge cases which will take decades to work out fully and reliably. So yes, I genuinely don't believe that we will see a fully autonomous vehicle that can work in any conditions, on streets of San Francisco as well as rural Ukraine equally well and without any human input.
> it's not as easy to make it big as it used to be

What? It's so much easier than it used to be. Between low interest rates, QE policies and the latest corporate tax cuts, equity markets are booming and it's easier than ever to get bought. And the actual process of building a company is also easier. Between accelerators like YC and Cloud providers, the path from idea to getting acquired is shorter than it's ever been. You just have to adjust the goal posts a bit. It's may be harder now to IPO and become and independent company with the outsized influence of one of the FANGs, but achieving generational wealth by being acquired by one of those companies is routinely done in just a few years.

Just for SFO you have 84 NOTAMs.

!SFO 06/079 SFO OBST RIG (ASN 2017-AWP-3368-NRA) 373740N1222224W (0.5NM NE SFO) 41FT (34FT AGL) FLAGGED AND LGTD 1806201400-1811010100

This is a flagged and lighted obstruction half a mile way that is 34 feet above ground level.

Now put in a full route and takeoff airport and maybe if you have had some stops during the day. The NOTAM seems a bit long. Then if are overseas and have to deal with the BS political notams. Check out greece and turkey notams.

Unpacking Upwork’s S-1: Metrics and Lessons for Marketplaces
> "This is just a power law thing"

Yes, every group of companies is going to have some winners and some losers. But VCs and (even more so) accelerators operate in a space where the power law produces a curve that is especially steep. The vast majority of their investments will fail entirely. In order to make up for this, they need a few big winners in order to make an overall rate of return that their investors expect.

If I'm investing in large cap consumer goods company stocks, that curve is likely to look much less steep since, for example, a company like Unilever is unlikely to fail completely.
The Coming Battle for Customer Information (1997)
Hm. I live in a rural community, with my mail delivered from a federal post office in the next county. Years ago when applying for a city library card which has borrowing privileges for country residents, the librarian insisted I prove I lived in the county, since my mailing address listed a town in the next county. This, the person with all human information at their disposal, asking me to show from my road address which county I lived in.

I credit it to simple laziness.
“Stop Thinking About Consent: It Isn’t Possible and It Isn’t Right”
The Ludlow Massacre? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre
This is what is called a 'cascade of failures' in aviation - and the term is used elsewhere. Multiple failures resulting in a catastrophic failure. In your own life and goings about, it's sometimes interesting to do a failure analysis and you'll often find you experienced a cascade.

It's really unfortunate that the cockpit voice recorder was overwritten. I'm guessing they're using very old technology where storage space is at a premium.

They're still using the flashing X on closed runways - e.g. at SEATAC right now. The lights looked incandescent a couple nights ago while passing the X. So not very bright or visible.

This accident would probably have been one of the worst in history. Multiple passenger planes on the taxiway taken out by a passenger jet.
Currently can't do it but saying it'll never be possible seems like you're setting yourself up to get burned by deep learning.
Apache Maven JXR Plugin (source code doc) 3.0.0 Released
No I'm not blaming internet users for not "protecting their privacy", I'm saying people who care about their "privacy" shouldn't be so presumptuous about the rest of us.

Plenty of people on Hacker News dislike data collection companies, that doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you. I'm plenty happy with Google collecting stuff about me. In fact, if they could use their algorithms to help me stay fit, and all they needed was me to ingest some pill every month or so while they collected information about me and gave me a readout, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Sign me up!

Not everybody cares about some "privacy" crusade. Don't ruin business models that the rest of us are okay with. If you want to use Google over DuckDuckGo, and can't get away from Twitter or Facebook, dude, that's your fault. Stop speaking for the rest of us just because you can't get your life in order.
Nice bit of non-arguments you got there.

You are being compensated...but you are not being informed for what.

As an example, lets say you borrow my truck.
You compensate me for the use of my truck to move some boxes in town.

But then you use my truck to tow a trailer across the country. That is more wear and tear on the vehicle.

And then you take my personal information that is on my vehicle registration with my home address and sell that to an ad company.

Finally you return my truck with all sorts of junk that was collected while the truck was being used.
Speaking as someone who owns a company that makes electronic health records, interoperability between systems is not the bottleneck that people in technology think it is. The time it takes to request and receive records on a patient is measured in days not minutes. Often the larger EMRs aren't even interoperable with themselves, each deployment is an island unto itself. (Why would I expect EPIC to be able to talk with Cerner if it can't even talk with itself)

I think most doctors and patients would agree that getting information in a timely manner is more important than the mechanism by which it is transferred. While interoperability is something to strive for it's not the thing holding the system back.
> GDPR was only passed because the companies they were "targeting" (and they were targeting a specific set of companies let's please be real) were foreign.

This is complete and utter nonsense and only shows that you know nothing about EU policy making. The EU regulates the shit out of EU-based businesses. That's very well-known and quite controversial. And by the way, GDPR affects a ton (!) of EU businesses, basically every company that has some kind of web page. Do you really think there are no internet businesses beyond Silicon Valley?

The lack of browser support is the biggest stop to getting PWAs to better decentralized/robust-offline.

Stronger PWA support would help a lot, especially in trying to minimize the number of wrappers like Electron and Cordova in the wild.

Certainly most of the interfaces needed aren't high on web platform priorities, and it may not be Beaker's intent yet to push on WHATWG to adopt these technologies more platform-wide, but even the ability to bootstrap the DHT in an ugly, but entirely browser-capable fashion (a dumb REST API bootstrap call to known HTTP endpoints, as one off-the-cuff idea) could do a lot for the kinds of decentralized applications that could be built entirely as PWA with no other application wrapper needed.

libp2p seems to have this goal in mind on their issue tracker, but so far as skimming the issues, I don't think I've seen a timeline for releasing it.

It's worth mentioning that "slippery slope" was originally meant as a fallacy, i. e. the invalid argument that something good is nonetheless bad when extrapolating to some extreme version of it.

It's easiest to see how useless the "slippery slope" concept is when noticing that it can be applied to absolute everything:

"if I start by feeding my own kids, I will soon have every needy kid at my door, asking for food"

"If we start to expect politicians not to be murders, a parking ticket will soon be disqualifying"

etc. etc.

Specifically here: government makes decisions based on morality all the time. I'd argue every single decision by the executive, legislative, and judicial branch is based on morality. It's obvious for the criminal justice system. For everything else, like deciding between different uses of tax money (aircraft carrier or social housing), making decisions requires some sort of function to optimize, and that function can ultimately only rest on morality.
It's well known the EU doesn't like Google and Facebook because of how disruptive they are; culturally and economically. Please don't insult my intelligence and say that France would have voted to hurt some of the most innovative (and financially successful) companies in the world if they were French. Be real.

Macron went all "Start up France" and was trying to attract some talent that would have been in the United States but can't due to Trump's habits. Every European country would vote another EU country out of the EU if it meant gaining Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

And Europe is irrelevant when it comes to consumer internet companies. That's just calling a spade a spade.

> Because connecting people is a noble mission, and the bad is far outweighed by the good.

nonsense
That sounds pretty handwavy though.

> But mobile phones (Gear VR, Google Cardboard) can do VR with much less graphics horsepower because the entire hardware stack can be controlled.

No, they just generally have a much lower expectation to meet of the graphics fidelity produced.

> The path from the motion sensors to rendering the VR scene on a phone is very fast.

What would you say slows this down on a modern PC? Is it the connections to the headset? Is it the OS?

> You still need a powerful mobile GPU to do good 3D graphics but actually rendering but the VR part doesn't require as much.

Why would this be different between mobile and a normal PC? Both need to render a image at 60fps (or probably 90), for two viewpoints, regardless of if it is driven by a PC or a mobile. What is different?
