We do because we have android hand scanners for the production areas and handhelds for the drivers, side loading is the simplest way to get stuff onto them.
Ever since I was a kid, I assumed that computers and robots would soon solve all production scarcity problems (or that we would make Star Trek-style "replicators" that worked by manifesting holographic images, whatever) and there would be a world of plenty, no one would have to go hungry or homeless or even work at bad jobs. I thought that all I had to do was write good software and give it away and sooner or later everything would take care of itself economically.

Instead we have smartphones, computers that function as pocket strip-malls with addictive games and back-alley scams.

This is amazing. I've long wanted to get into some of this stuff and lately have fallen in love with Rust. I can't wait to watch these videos :D.
This is only because developers are making so much money (in many circumstances). The fact that things are "good" doesn't mean they're "fair" or that they couldn't be "better".

A good union would ideally be creating better working conditions for its members.
I've heard good things about Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/). Significantly different revenue model from Patreon -- creators accept payments directly through Stripe or PayPal, and Ko-Fi provides services on top of that for a low, flat monthly fee.
> For a page load, why should latency matter

> he problem is that the software stack makes tons of round-trip requests

Latency matters because of all of those round-trip requests. Each individual request incurs at least 2x the network latency value (one network latency trip out to the server, another network latency trip back). If browsers did not try to run parallel requests, then all those round trips would sum up to a substantial overall delay.
I had in mind the 27” imac which technically has replaceable storage, but you need to be comfortable taking a pizza cutter to the glass. While I’m glad for the trapdoor RAM slot, it does feel like a shame there apparently wasn’t any spare space on the 7 square miles of aluminium on the rear of the machine, to put an M2 slot behind a similar trapdoor.
I wouldn't consider myself a top performer. Though I'd expect I'd become one at a place that had a union ensuring low performers got accumulated at the company.
Doesn't help if you try to do max-width: 100% in CSS. You'll get an image with a height you set in HTML and a smaller width.
No it's worse. Yes Microsoft used their market share and deep pockets to drink other companies milkshake, but they didn't use control over the OS to prevent uses from installing competitors software.

As a friend said 10 years ago, this is the end of general purpose computing.
Keep in mind that 2080Ti will give you a way better experience than this will. The actual specs of the hardware here would fall into solidly mid-range. As in, the equivalent entire system would be less than your 2080Ti alone.

So instead of spending $1500 on that piece of gaming equipment spend $250-300 instead. That's what you're actually getting here. A very slow CPU with a mid-range GPU. It's a budget build that's not going to drive 4k@60fps with the bells and whistles. Not remotely close. It'll be fine for 1080p gaming, though, but that's realistically it.
It might increase income inequality in your country, but does it do so globally? I mean, that person in a developing nation will still likely get way more money than they would have from local work. So it serves as wealth transfer from developed to developing countries.

Now, large corporations are taking and pocketing a large part of that transferred wealth, effectively gouging it back (and making it even more concentrated in their home countries in the process). And why can they do that? Because, while capital and goods can flow across borders mostly unrestricted, labor is constrained by immigration restrictions. Chinese workers don't get direct access to the US market - no, they have to work for transnationals that will pay them slightly better than local wage, and then sell the product of their labor for as much as they can in countries where wages (and hence prices) are much higher.
Indeed, I thought the MS was referring to something else, just based on the title.

Of course they may want to be targeting Linux and MacOS for nefarious purposes, or maybe its a peace offering to make up for skype?
Worldwide it has even less market share than GNU/Linux desktops.
If one dumbass in the company can screw up that catastophically, then the protections in place were always criminaly negligent.
"Not using Facebook" doesn't solve address the problem which exists outside of Facebook, so no, it wasn't answered.
while "real" is somewhat debatable, "GMO" in this context is certainly not a good word, all organisms are genetically modified, and all cultivated plants are modified by humans, the difference is that most of them were modified by waiting for random errors, and some were modified in a more controlled manner.

It is counterproductive to group under one word things as different as seedless tomato, roundup resistant tomato, spicy tomato and millions of other possible varieties that can be created with crispr (often starting from the wild version of the plant).
Obviously this newsworthy example is an outlier, what is your point? That unless you retire at 34 you might as well keep working until you die? You seem to imply that everybody is due a retirement at the official sanctioned retirement age. They are not. Your retirement is of your own design. FIRE is about formalizing this and realizing that everything you do today affects that timeline. The person in the article was very lucky and ended up with a desirable timeline. His exact circumstances are not the lesson that you should come away with.
So you'd rather your friend be worked harder for his minimum wage? You'd rather he be liable for the things people steal from the store? You'd rather him be fired and be without medical insurance if he slips and falls at work?

Unions are why your friend isn't worked to death while he waits for his teacher's certification.
My immediate thought is that Google is going to be actually running the games on hardware in edge data centers (to keep latency low). If you own a cloud software business, you're likely looking for any revenue-driving excuse to build out hundreds/thousands/etc of small DCs in every corner of the world. Stadia revenue (or the promise of Stadia revenue) would pay to build out the infra, and extra capacity could be sold off to GCloud customers.
Thanks! Mostly manually, but I write Python scripts for menial jobs. It's surprisingly easy when the site is that simple.
Haven't we tried this already? The AGPL is a bona-fide OSS license, and is standard enough that it's actually endorsed by the FSF for public-facing services, in addition to being OSI-certified. Cloud vendors avoid it like the plague, rightly or wrongly - which is what we were going for, right? Yet many "OSS-lite" companies have rejected it as not going far enough. It's mind-boggling.
If you don't pay attention to who you're buying or selling from, you're basically charging 10% for money laundering services. Plenty of people would pay that.

So, lots of fraud, probably, but if it doesn't affect your profits, you don't care, right? But the government cares and they will come shut you down.
That's pretty much how things are developing in the fediverse: each platform meant for its own content type, with the microblogging platforms generally being used for a "main" identity. So platforms like Pixelfed and Peertube can focus on photos and videos, respectively, while still interacting with the larger network.

By not supporting following in the other direction, these specialized platforms can stay focused on the content shared there, instead of also supporting microblogging, video, photos, events, and whatever other types come up in the future. But of course you're not limited to just following in one direction -- comments go both ways. So someone can comment on your Pixelfed photo with a Mastodon account, and you can respond to that comment with your Pixelfed account, and they'll see your comment back on Mastodon.

"My strong guess is, in general no, because, especially in this society, when a person drops out of school, there's normally something deviant about them."

If Facebook was Thanos snapped out of existence right now, the overarching problem would still exist. It's not constrained to the borders of a single Mountain View, CA company.

How would you address the problem itself, rather than a single instance of it?
Salary isn't the only point of negotiation. Unions can protect people against safety concerns, long hours or lack of vacation etc. or whatever issues are a problem at a company. A union is a group of people organizing to define how they want to work and salary structure doesn't have to part of the contract if it's not an issue to the workers. The union members get to define what is important to them.
It's probably good practice to get the source code and assets from the partner in any case. You may choose to sign and deploy it yourself, or if you delegate that to the partner and they get the banhammer, you can republish under your own account.

lol. i guess you've never actually been in a union.
> AFAIK this means only public sector non-union employees cannot be forced to pay for unions' political activities. Private sector employees are still on the hook. Unless there's something else you're trying to draw attention to.

I'll pick out the part I think's most relevant, since yeah, that's a big ol' wall of text.

"Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), as amended by the Taft-Hartley Act, and held by the Supreme Court in Communications Workers of America v. Beck that in a union security agreement, unions are authorized by statute to collect from non-members only those fees and dues necessary to perform its duties as a collective bargaining representative known as agency fees.[12]"

Collect fees? Yes. Spend those fees on political activities, if you're a non-member? No. Unless I'm misreading this. The public unions bit comes next and says that public sector unions can't even collect the agency fees from non-union members, which is a step farther and into union-busting territory. The original point was that union fees amount to compelled political speech, though (again, so does your company spending on politics, assuming they're making money off you even in an abstract way, but whatever) and this seems to make that moot, best I can tell. If that's wrong I'd like to know—I don't get off on going around spreading incorrect info.
It is your money being spent, in both cases. Labor is entitled to all it creates.

How do you picture your hypothetical vision of things working on the server side? Naively using buffering would make the input stream desync from the output stream. "Input prediction" works well enough when a game supports it, but lag would reappear for titles where the game doesn't. A general solution (for games with no input prediction) would require you to run the game in an x86 emulator with save-state + rewind support, such that network stutter could be translated to micro-rewinds of the game's VM; and even that wouldn't work if the game was multiplayer.

I could see games being able to signal "there is no input during this cutscene, so it can be buffered at the client." But for everything besides cutscenes, game streaming essentially has to work like a VoIP call (hard-realtime), doesn't it?

you get all the good properties of lisp with a syntax that leaves some parentheses implicit but unambiguous (meaning that a preprocessor can add them back as the first step).
Right, so everyone should be happy working for the "exposure" so they can be snapped up by Cloud Companies using the wealth created from hosting their OSS efforts who will then be put to work on strengthening their cloud monopolies.
If I was hiring currently been former FANG wouldn't shift the needle one way or the other.

> I don't know if there really is a feasible solution - maybe a delayed-broadcast setup where a human moderator reviews each feed/view? Also maybe automatically have a human attach and watch feeds that are spontaneously getting popular without a clear reason, etc.

I think those are very good ideas for mitigating this kind of problem.

Facebook (and other internet companies) have basically built sharing platforms with no breaks, and that opens them up to exploitation by people like this mass shooter. I think the only effective solutions will involve retrofitting breaks and proactively inserting human moderators into the loop. There's literally no good reason that something should be able to go viral globally within hours of creation, not even disconnected natural disaster reports.

==If you look at all the other High Schools in the area, they're all 8/10 or 9/10.==

And this house would be even more expensive if it was in the boundaries of those schools. $600k for a house that size, more than an hour outside of a city, with poor local schools is astronomical.

Prop 13 deserves a lot of the blame. However, at some point the prices reach a point where people will just move to New York, Boston, Chicago, Philly, Austin, Nashville, Portland, Dallas, etc. In Chicago, we have already seen some of this with companies like Foursquare, Google, Facebook, Coinbase and Salesforce opening more engineering-focused offices in the past couple of years.
This is all true, but it sort of presupposes competence.

Taking a full month to recover a downed social media platform isn't really acceptable, but it's still better than being literally unable to recover it at all. Spending a small fortune to ship hardware to an AWS datacenter and convincing/paying them to load it directly would probably also be worthwhile, when we're talking about simply losing a $500M company. If the claim here about "no backup" is true, it's so profoundly stupid that everything I know about best practices sort of goes out the window. Approaches that any sensible person would consider unacceptably slow and unreliable are still a step up from a completely blank playbook.

(I guess the theory might be that Tumblr is such a trashfire it can't be restored, or would lose so much value in days/weeks of downtime that there's no point in even planning for that. Again, I don't really know how you run cost-benefit analyses when it's not entirely clear the project has benefits.)
If you want to work at a company there are lots of aspects of corporate culture and working environments that you have to accept if you want to work there. Presumably if you don't want to work in a union shop... you won't?

And to put another way: would it be reasonable for you to benefit from the work the union does for all employees without also contributing to that union?

All this is besides the point that requiring employees to join the union is a decision the _employer_ would have to make (although probably through union pressure).
I’m finishing my 14th year at Red Hat as we speak. In that time Red Hat had two digit growth every single year. We employ around 13000 people. And in all those years I have read at least one article per week claiming that it isn’t possible to make money with open source. Weird.
If you are hoping that moving to AWS will give you access to "intuitive" setup, I have some bad news for you.
It’s the same experience in all other forerunners in the field.

In essence, you need a fat cable to a datacenter very nearby for shooters/fast action games.

Regular wi-fi is more or less sufficient for everything less (you might get video degradation from time to time).

OnLive was the first and it was just insanely awesome. Too bad it was shattered.

I also tried LiquidSky, and it was insanely awesome. At one point you ended up having a virtual PC where you could install and play any game from your Steam library. Too bad they’ve changed the service and monetisation a few times, and it’s unclear if yhey are alive.

Haven’t tried others.

I like this thought, but if google can't build edge nodes because of:

- GCP
- AdSense
- Gmail
- Internal CDN Needs

Then I don't think that Stadia would be a big push for doing so.
The biggest lie capitalists ever told you was that unions were about money. They're about control.

How's your open plan office? Do you like it? Can you do anything about it? Unions can help.
You can write a drop in replacement for that company because it is open source. Can you write a drop in replacement for Windows or even Word?
I had a union job for steady pay and great benefits while trying to do consulting on the side. I hoped to grow the business. Great Recession hit. Contracts dried up. Folks I lived with were laid off multiple times. Union contract was only reason I could keep us afloat. It didn't let them lay us off without paying for it, which they opted not to do.

So, yeah, what you said. :)

"What’s more, when women become more represented in a job, the pay for that job tends to go down."

This is what is most fundamental about what happened to the labor force, it's supply and demand at work. More people willing to do a job with a similar number of openings. Pre-WWII the (formal) labor force was overwhelmingly composed of men, and that proportion has gradually shrunk in the past century to now where there are some professions that are overwhelming done by women.

The reason Aerospace Engineers get paid pretty well is not because 91% of them are men and women cannot enter the profession, but rather because few women entering the labor force are training for and choosing to enter that field. This nearly halves the labor supply, which has kept wages higher.

This works for the lower end of the labor market as well, garbage men are mostly men and get paid pretty well.
But the point of paying these dues to have a point.
For example, strike-pay.
If your employees are living pay-cheque to pay-cheque, then your risk of them all striking as a whole is minimal, whatever you do.
If you know they could all subsist for say 6-months (housing and food covered by strike-pay), then you would be more cautious in your actions.
My take is that there are stupid extremes on both sides of the unionization debate. But, as a concept, it provides a nice stabilizing counter-balance.
If employees are happy, you don't notice the union. If they're unhappy, then you'll hear from the union. If the company is fundamentally unviable then really unionization is moot as you're all going down together.
They should be paid by the hour with an additional commission based on the sale price.

The industry should also be completely transparent as to how quickly each agent sells houses and how much their houses sell for.

As a client, you should do your own comparison shopping, do your due diligence, and get recommendations. Then go with the ones who've been recommended by people you trust and who have a track record of selling homes quickly and for the most money compared to other agents, or buying homes quickly for less money than other agents.

Agents should also be allowed to charge however much they want. The agents who buy/sell quickly and manage to get great prices will naturally be able to sustain charging more than those who can't.
Would be very interested in knowing what Walmart locations those were since Walmart's strictly-enforced corporate policy until about 2 years ago was that they would not pay above minimum wage. Shortly after the Trump tax bill, they announced fairly hefty pay wages nationwide, putting their front-line employees above minimum wage for the first time in company history. It was huge news since Trump tried to use it as an example of his tax bill working...
