I found this point very interesting. Let's accept this claim that the main impetus to unionize is to gain leverage in future "Always Punch Nazis" situations.

That is a radically different use of Unionization compared to the typical "Fair pay and safe working conditions" demands. I'm struggling to see why unionization is an appropriate way to secure this kind of power, and why workers deserve to have any more say besides voting with their feet individually.

Unlike compensation, which is on a continuous scale and has multiple axis (comp, profit share, benefits, PTO), these kinds of decisions are fairly binary and therefor have very little room for negotiation.

Is this something where workers deserve the power to collectively bargain? To me, whether or not to support "Always Punch Nazis" is a truly nuanced and difficult choice and I'm not sure going one way or the other qualifies for "exploitation" of the workforce.
The big issue with movie pass is there's no real barrier preventing movie theaters from setting up their own version of the program. For any chain that did they can actually offset the lower ticket revenue with concessions which Moviepass would only see by cutting deals with those same theater chains. On top of that there's not really a reason for people to need to go to multiple chains (which could have been a niche for a Moviepass like company if the need was there) movies are a scheduled thing so people would just choose their favorite chain in the area (best seats, closest, best surrounding attractions whatever qualifies the best chain) and subscribe to their version of Moviepass.

All it seems like Moviepass did was prove that there was a market for subscription based movie tickets.
Thats not just the closest.. aren’t botnets/worms exactly what you’re asking for? (Plus some extra functionality)

Not if you pay MSRP; for H. Moser you’ll take a big loss. The material value of the gold is also really small.
Yep, and that's exactly what StarCraft: Remastered did, according to that PDF. It wasn't easy, though.
Indeed. A family friend (single mom, dad bolted, financially stretched, we all pitch in when we can) has an autistic daughter who, in her mid teens, is barely potty trained (and who might never be higher functioning). Her other younger daughter, without autism, acts out because she gets whatever attention is left over after the mother has provided all the care necessary for the autistic daughter.

The mother I refer to should have the right to opt out if this type of existence if she could have. If we’re going to support woman having reproductive autonomy, genetic testing pre and post conception (and any resulting termination) goes with that. If someone doesn’t want to have an autistic child (and medical technology can provide a high level of confidence when making the decision), that is their choice.

Eh, no. UWB solves the problem of locating yourself in relation to other UWB devices. It doesn't help you identify non-UWB devices (like a wall) that AR glasses might want to know about.
What an incredible article.

I'm really stunned at the depths of lunacy of NY educators- I guess the problem is worse than I thought when kids themselves are asking parents wtf the educators are doing (and why they are focusing on anything but knowledge of how things are).

CIBC has done the same. TD charges only $0.50 on the most basic plan and it is free on other plans. Simplii (née PC Financial) has always had free Interac e-Transfers. Interac fees have vanished or are vanishing for most people. The daily and weekly maximums are still an issue though ($3k and $10k at most banks usually).
I didn't even think of that, but it's a really good point and a likely scenario.
Probably not.

FWIW I think a more reasonable goto (than a browser) for a Raspberry Pi dashboard would be something along the lines of Qt QML, maybe with Python Qt bindings if you don’t want to write C++ code. It’s not really lightweight, but it can interface with the bare KMS EGL (no Xorg needed,) is hardware accelerated, and performance was acceptable when I last tried it on, I believe, a Pi 3.

That’s because overwhelmingly people don’t care about learning, they care about certification. The completion rates for online degrees are vastly higher because people get that piece of paper that marks one as an intelligent, hard working conformist. They have to care enough to apply, and pay for a course. I don’t know how much higher the completion rate is for EdX or Coursera students that pay for verified certificates over auditing courses but if it’s less than four times as high I’d be surprised.

https://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/articles/2...

> While many believe that there is a huge difference between online and on-campus completion rates, [Russell Poulin]’s research suggests the difference is slight. Based on a survey completed by more than 200 North American school officials in 2013, Poulin found that course completion rates averaged three to five percent better for on-campus courses than for online courses.

https://www.edsurge.com/amp/news/2019-06-06-moving-from-5-to...

> Today, 2U reports completion rates of up to 88 percent for their online degree programs. Harvard Business School’s online programs claim similar success, with completion rates of 85 percent.

> At Acumen, where I design online courses, we’ve also been offering selective cohort-based programs for the past year that achieve completion rates of 85 percent. That’s a far cry from five years ago, when only 5 percent of the students were finishing the MOOCs I was designing.

> How have instructional designers collectively moved the needle so dramatically on completion rates? Unsurprisingly, some of the biggest drivers of these improved metrics include making people pay for online programs, increasing the selectivity of courses, and adding program managers and teaching assistants to follow up with learners.

One key difference between a government issued currency and a distributed cryptocurrency is that the former is based on a promise and the latter is based on trust.

A government issued currency is based on the promise [1] given by a state that this money must be accepted by everybody else. Everyone can enforce his rights by law.

A distributed cryptocurrency is based on trust given mutually by the users. The trust relays on the circumstance that no significant number of participants will abandon their precious investment may it be acquired through mining or purchasing of coins.

In general, you should just start with whatever service AWS has that integrates the most features, and once you know what your technical requirements/limitations are, you'll know if you need to back up to a less integrated solution. Worst case, you're paying too much for a solution for a short time, but you have a working MVP.
I’m not sure people don’t care about learning, I’m certain I’m not the only one that’s gone through a lot of stuff on OCW on my own. I think people are more likely to jump through specific hoops if they get something out of it, that has little to do with learning though.
The original source of this narrative is VJMedia.hk [1], popularized by QZ in English web [2]. VJMedia is operated by RongLeQi who was a member of the League of Social Democrats at the time, aka pro-democrat party who participated in the LegCo oath-taking controversy. Unsurprisingly, it's a fairly biased and disingenuous interpretation of FCO40/327 and the Thatcher memo that border on propaganda. The primary sources quoted in the article has nothing to do with democratic reforms but UK seeking HK sovereignty as a self-governing dominion like Singapore (not just democratic reforms) as an alternative to handover because it would stabilize investor fears - the concerns were purely economic. Obviously China would reject this proposal which basically tried to circumvent handover by making HK dejure independent in 1997. The reason why UK/Patten introduced some democratic reforms near handover was a last minute effort to maintain some political and economic influence over the colony. There was never any effort in the 60s to grant HK democracy within the context of Extension of Hong Kong Territory lease - they asked for sovereignty which was never an option - and what little that was given was a last minute geopolitical power play.

This is a very good description of your argument. It may seem like an unfair stance - I'll try to show why it might not be a crazy position to take.

Let's just use Bitcoin vs. Libra, because bitcoin is much easier to type than cryptocurrency.

You know, instead of typing up a list of the pros and cons of allowing your citizens to use bitcoin vs. libra, I'll just talk about the underlying premise.

I think that as a government, you don't want to lose control of the money supply. That includes:

* How the money is used
* Inflation
* (And unfortunately, nowadays) tracking the money.

Looking at this from the point of view of a government, it seems pretty dangerous to put all those controls in the hands of a company.

Personally, I would be against this decision for any company, not matter how well liked.

Situations change, and then the powerful can change the rules.

Ask HN: Majority owner cofounder increased salary by 3X what can I do?
I'm the minority technical co-founder and my co-founder who holds majority control of the equity in the company just informed me that he increased his salary by 3X three months ago. We had agreed to take the same salary since we're both working on it full time and each bring unique skills to the table needed for the business.

After reading the bylaws I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do legally. Has anyone been in a similar situation? First of all, the lack of notification has damaged our relationship from my side because I feel that the information was deliberately withheld from me as long as possible. Secondly, I cannot see any angle where the salary is appropriate for the stage we are at. Any related experience is appreciated.
For AR, instead of personal use think of what it can do in industry.

Autoworkers can have parts deep in the engine glow for them to see, plumbers can see through walls, doctors can see where major arteries normally run before they make an incision.

It's stuff like that, not turning on a lamp, that will push AR initially.

As it stands, MOOCs don't have the same recognition or importance in society as traditional education does. So naturally completion rates are going to be low. Doesn't mean the courses aren't good quality or the information being shared doesn't mean people's needs. Just means that the psychological contracts that people enter when they sign up for these courses are a lot less burdensome and easier to break than within higher education, which might even be a part of their draw.
Can I bounce an idea off Hacker News readers?

How about doing live events at which you simply play -- on an overhead screen -- the very best videos or courseware from the web on selected technical topics. You get the best possible presentation and the chance to mingle with people who are keen on the same subject. You'd still need a person to act as a moderator or host, but there would be no official speakers. Would you go to such a thing?

This idea came about because I was at a seminar recently with multiple presenters on technical topics. At least 90% of what was said is available on the web. And the average presentation was awful. Yet, the auditorium was packed. Two hundred people showed up to hear publicly available information presented by mediocre speakers, none of whom were experts in the field (just people interested in the topic).

This is a regularly held seminar and people come. A lot people like attending a talk even if we could have stayed home and watched a better video on the same technical topic. I think part of it is that some people absorb material better in a classroom setting and the other aspect is the chance to socialize and talk with like-minded people.
I’d say it’s best role at this point is to continue being one of the preeminent sites for military weapons systems testing, as has been the case for a few decades now. I’m not sure what would lead you to conclude a gift shop would be of better use.

I'm not sure it has much to do with anyone deserving anything. It's just good for the economy if more people work in more productive places.

So if the best companies could employ more people in those places and pay them high salaries, those people would also pay high income taxes that could finance public infrastructure for the rest of the country.

According to Wikipedia, sexual assault is an act in which a person intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will.

Minors arguably cannot give consent. A lack of consent is all that is needed to meet this definition. It doesn't matter that Epstein enslaved her first. Unless Stallman wants to argue that Minsky had no idea she was under age, his argument is dead in the water.
