What about a bookmark manager or solution that preserves your privacy. A specific list of bookmarks not only has an extreme degree of uniqueness, it's content (links) are highly revealing about the interests, problems and so forth of any one person. This then tied to someone's IP address is what makes me wonder what solutions exist that let you keep all of that private while being able to sort, save and transfer your bookmarks.

Unions get most of their power from their ability to organize mass collective action.

Their leverage in contract negotiations comes entirely from their ability to organize mass action.

Their rights under state law are derived entirely from their political power arising from their ability to organize mass action.

And notably, with respect to the SV anti poaching case: the companies won that case because they ended up paying only a few thousand dollars to each affected worker instead of the hundreds of thousands per employee they would have owed if the case hadn't settled for pennies on the dollar.

A union absolutely would have protected its employees from being exploited so badly. (And note--unions can be organized to respect individual bargaining power, like they are with the SAG, where they set minimum pay scales and benefits but not maximums.)

He started the company using Apple tech while working at Apple with the intent of taking that tech and selling it back to them. This isn't the same as a non-compete -- this is an intent to compete with Apple while still at Apple. A non-compete means you can't compete after you've left the company -- but taking Apple IP he created at Apple, to start another company with the intent of selling them a derivative of that IP -- that's definitely not ethical and a pretty clear breach of the employee contract. This has nothing to do with a non-compete. Non-compete means you can't work for a competitor -- that non-competes aren't enforceable doesn't preclude the enforcability of using Apple IP. Additionally, the non-disclosure agreements are enforceable and the tech he is using was most certainly covered by multiple NDAs, independent of a non-compete.

Also, the enforcement of an employee non-solicitation clause, which prohibits former employees from reaching out to former coworkers to try to hire them at their new workplace, is also not the issue here -- non-solicitation clauses prevent former employees from poaching current employees -- true, those aren't enforceable under California law, but what is enforceable is that this solicitation happened while the guy was still working at Apple, potentially using Apple resources or facilities. Non-competes and non-solicitations aren't valid in California, however those don't apply while the person is still working for the company in question. The basis of the suit isn't that he started his own company -- it's that he started his own company while working at Apple with the intent to compete with Apple, using Apple-owned IP and Apple employees.

If Apple had a helicopter project and an engineer was working on it at Apple, he couldn't take the plans for the helicopter, recruit co-workers then start a helicopter company using those plans. He could leave Apple, then develop his own plans for a helicopter, then hire Apple employees -- that would be legal under California law, but what would be a breach of contract would be using the specific IP developed while at Apple.

The other question isn't about "enforceable" contracts in so much as the fact that the guy signed a contract when he was hired at Apple. Enforceable or not, he agreed to the employment terms and probably happily accepted Apple stock and other compensation in exchange for his work on developing IP for Apple -- IP that he is taking to his new venture specifically to sell it back to Apple. Regardless of the enforceability of the contract, it's pretty sleazy.
Does this really work? First time I am hearing of this(would be estatic if it did).
Most airliners? I doubt it; the smaller ones like 737 are usually used for shorter routes. By numbers, I would guess the large majority of air traffic is shorter-route, and with smaller planes. Most air travelers, after all, are not traveling between places as far apart as Syndey and NYC.

But that's not the issue here; my contention way above was the private jets aren't any good for extremely long-distance intercontinental routes, and no one has disproven this assertion yet, though several have tried.

What do you mean by "returns in Google"? If you simply mean that the article shows up in search results, I'm not sure how that's different from the books in my original example. Certainly you'll get links to books on the bestseller list for related search results.

I don't speak for HN but personally I find the notion that business management can be distilled and generically applied across industries and disciplines to be nonsensical, when every technical project requires a firm grasp of at least the basic scientific/engineering principles to make sound planning decisions at all scales. How can you possibly estimate how long something will take to code for example, or evaluate the estimates of your subordinates, if you don't know how to code? Sure, this isn't the best example as code estimation is notoriously unreliable, but the point applies to technical work in general.

Much of the trouble at Boeing has been explained by various sources as having started with the replacement of managing engineers at a company known to be founded and run by engineers with executive types after the "reverse takeover"[1] by McDonnel. This seems to be as close as one could get to an A/B test and the results are exactly what I would have expected, as technical constraints are relaxed to boost margins and shrink/meet deadlines. Though I admit this is a small sample size and could be confirmation bias on my part.

>Do you seriously think that someone with an engineering degree would for some reason say actually we don't need to meet deadlines, I won't pressure you to finish these planes on time

No, but I would expect a manager with an engineering degree to be more likely to understand the absurdity and danger of building passenger aircraft with missing tools and incorrect instructions, red flag such issues, and push back deadlines to resolve them.

What is the purpose of a search warrant if it doesn't gate searches? Supreme Court case law has generally upheld that a citizen's privacy is not to be invaded without a search warrant.

"Any assumption that evidence sufficient to support a magistrate's disinterested determination to issue a search warrant will justify the officers in making a search without a warrant would reduce the Amendment to a nullity and leave the people's homes secure only in the discretion of police officers.''
I think you are incorrect.

For example, you can't fight propaganda with 'logic' because whatever message is inside the propaganda, it can clearly be logical.

Critical thinking calls upon a wider range of tools to fully examine a situation. Your imagination, openness to viewing things from non-traditional or illogical perspective, challenging basic assumptions, and so on. Much of this is lateral and abstract thinking. It is not a straight line of if-then statements.

Read the wiki, of particular note, the section on critical thinking and rationality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking

Moreover, as someone who majored in English, critical thinking is a core component of deconstruction. Taking in account various motivations, sources, ideas, cultural values and more, all factor into how one can think critically about a piece of literature, or any other work, for that matter.

To say that critical thinking has been subsumed into logic implies a host of problems, notably, the death of thinking all together.
Ask HN: Should an early stage startup use Kubernetes?
Should an early-stage startup use Kubernetes in production? What if the engineers have experience deploying applications on Kubernetes?

I understand there are no hard and fast rules for this. But what are the various criteria that you would look at before deciding that Kubernetes should be used early on?

My personal opinion is to invest in docker & docker-compose on a small VM and scale them out manually. But a friend of mine questions - if you are using docker-compose then why not Kubernetes? You get the benefit of scaling your services without any extra costs(GCP does not charge for master node).

It might not be clear that symmetric hash join is a streaming, non-blocking operator (i.e., it can start producing results immediately without waiting for a hash table to be built). Unlike merge join, though, it requires all input rows to be kept in memory (at least until the other table is exhausted).

I suspect query optimizers haven’t taken hash indexes into account for joins because they’re so rare in practice, but it’s probably worth considering.

That isn't true.

"Williams boasted about starting a new company with technology that he was working on at Apple, that he believed Apple ‘needed’ and that he believed Apple would have no choice but to purchase.”"

Also not true. He started the company to sell tech he developed at Apple, back to Apple.

If I had tooling which I trusted to be able to transition from any schema state I might want to use to any other such state, I would happily use it.

I've never found any, though it's a few years since I last looked. (I use Postgres, which has a fairly rich set of possible schema objects, and adds new bits frequently; I'd be reluctant to rely on a project that wasn't actively maintained and starting from 100% support).

The principle here is that in this case (as often), it's much easier to teach a computer to check that you've done manual work correctly than it is to teach the computer to solve the general problem.

This has been working well for me for many years, but I'm typically only dealing with a few dozen schema changes (in production) a year; I can imagine that Facebook sees the world just slightly differently.

You might be able to create something similar by combining expect with asciinema, like

$ expect_command='
log_user 0
spawn bash
interact timeout 1 return
send "ps aux | rg asciinema\n"
interact timeout 3 return
exit
'
$ asciinema rec somefile -c 'expect -c '\'"$expect_command"\'

using interact timeout as a sort of checkpoint to show output, though if you want to send single quotes you'll have to make sure they get escaped in the inner command (or just have the script in a file for expect to read)

This one presumably is based on better data, and is all the more fascinating for it.
We were just trying to get a ton of circles (electric vehicle ranges) on a map.

You are spot on with the true reasons about the blockade of Qatar. I also heard that the blockading countries offered to end the blockade if Qatar transferred the 2022 World Cup hosting rights to them, though I'm not sure if that's even possible.

Regarding the demands on Qatar with respect to terrorist organizations:

1) The list includes organizations that are only designated as terrorist organizations by a minority of countries.

2) Qatar has regularly organized meetings between US government officials and terrorist organizations like the Taliban.
Is an unconfirmed sense of schadenfreude really worth losing more money for a theft? Maybe it's worth it if the device is also streaming video so you can share the experience with the world, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxhDk-hwuo

Also, it's probably more likely that the device gets triggered accidentally than it is likely to get stolen.

Ideally, you'd pay more for a domain you weren't actively using than one you were. That way, squatters pay extra but real users aren't disadvantaged.

Of course, determining whether a domain is really in use or not is hard, and whatever criteria are adopted, squatters will try to game them.

It all hinges on the fact that he was employed by Apple and owed them his undivided loyalty.

Employees do not owe their employers their undivided loyalty.

The lowest-level employees don't owe their employer anything when their shift ends. They're free to work for a competitor for the next 8 hours if they choose.

Salaried employees generally don't owe their employer anything once they leave the office and stop work for the day...though only in a few states like CA are workers granted explicit protections for their extracurricular ventures.

Only executives might owe undivided loyalty, and even then that is a provision of the employment contract that must be explicitly negotiated and paid for by the employer.
The thing I hate most about Apple's updates is that if you say "try again in an hour", rather than prompting you if you want to update again, it just starts the update!

My PB is supplied by my employer, so I'm using it all the time in the daytime. Sometimes I have time to do the update, but sometimes I don't - but I might anticipate that I can come to a stopping point in an hour or two. But I don't get that option. If I say "wait an hour" - it will just start the update in an hour - killing my browser and tabs, my IDE, my terminal sessions, whatever else I have open...

Hosed isn't the right word for it - fortunately IntelliJ allows me to continue where I left off, and getting my tabs back is no problem in most browsers. Terminal sessions are jacked, though. And just getting back to where you were mindset-wise - that's a major pain (it's one thing when it's on your terms, but when the rug is yanked out from under you, it becomes a real problem).

Ubuntu (and probably other Debian-based Linux systems - and maybe all of them - so many distros I haven't tried or haven't played with in a long while - sigh) does it right - if you say to try again later, it will pop up the same dialog later. Most security updates aren't of the nature that waiting an hour or a day is going to be a major issue (and if it were, we generally are informed well ahead of time of it).

So - I can understand and feel everyone's pain on this; Apple really should change this to allow user choice. Heck - I'd also love options to install "at next shutdown", "at next powerup", and "at a set time/day" - because at the end of the day, when I shutdown my machine, that would actually be the best time to do the install/update (for me at least).
ah, i see. thx!
Have the secret backdoor keys that allow developers to remotely update the software on every Windows, iOS or Android device ever been leaked?
Yeah the technique may be somewhat novel, but the solution (don't leave valuables in your car) is more or less the first thing I learned when I moved to a city 20 years ago.
Research is funded by research grants from government organizations or private companies. Administrators (those involved in enabling research) are funded by "overheads" i.e. a percentage of money taken off the top of grants before any of it is allowed to be used for actual research. No tuition money goes into this.

So I'd expect the tuition increase to be associated with teaching staff or teaching administrators (either dedicated to this full time or else as a percentage of their time), not with research (which is basically self-sustaining anyway). In fact, probably one of the motivations for increasing research activities is that it naturally brings in money and that you don't need to increase tuition to do it.

I do agree that research professors don't necessarily make the best teaching professors, but that's an entirely separate issue from the financial one.

There's a branch of economics, usually lumped in with "heterodox economics" that says that interpersonal comparisons of utility are impossible. This is called the Austrian school of economics, whose figures are von Mises and Rothbard.

Their basic unit of the market is the transaction. You know you value the coffee more than $2 and the coffee seller less than $2, and the other person values it more than $1, but until you and the other person actually make a trade you can't figure out the relationship between your preferences. That is, you are exactly right that you cannot say you prefer coffee twice as much.

Here's a video that explains this idea, called "praxeology" in these circles. He explains it in the first five minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI5fjTz1Rbw
