And in the UK "tech" and "Entertainment" are in the same union.

There is a lot of similarity and crossover between teh workers in that area.

Make sure to always cite your references by comments. This is useful in case parts of your code become unintentionally obsolete. This also helps you and others proofread your work.
I update every few months and that works out fine. More than a year of no updates could make it difficult. All you have to do is pacman -Syu, and it doesn't really interrupt your flow since you can just continue working while it updates. The few times something doesn't work, you look at archlinux.org and the issue plus solution (usually remove some package or update in a specific order) will be described right there on the front page. Seems like a smoother experience than what I remember from Windows with autocountdown timers and what not...

But it's actually also amazing how when you reinstall Linux, and copy over your home directory, everything looks like it was before and you can just continue on as if nothing happened.

I suppose the lobbying could be unbalanced, but that wouldn't be consistent with the numbers when you look at campaign contributions (even if you ignore individual contributions). https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/toprecips.php?id=D000026667...
Yes I’m picking up what you’re putting down. I really wish What.cd had been able to continue as a metadata service if nothing else: the discoverability of music was at a level I have not seen anywhere else.

Everyone needs unions - not just the little people.
I don’t think many people write light reading on the topic of unionization.

That said, you should be able to find plenty of modern material on class, law and labor.

If all else fails, read some classic sociology.
Definitely an underrated piece of work.
Pretty sure Bernie Sanders is not running on the platform of encouraging shoplifting or sabotaging your workplace.

As in workers can't legally demand higher wages as a group, as in those negotiations won't be legally binding and fines would be imposed on strikers, no need to hit anyone.
Passengers prefer 'smooth' landings but smooth landings have the risk of a bounce because as soon as the aircraft is in ground effect it requires much less energy to stay aloft. So smooth landings are riskier. Experienced pilots prefer safety over comfort and will not try to make a perfect landing from a comfort point of view but will force the aircraft out of ground effect and if that means a harder landing so be it.
To make this clear, you are suggesting that having just those 4 buildings won’t solve the issue completely, despite making it better, so it isn’t worth doing?
Yes, but you need a shorter feedback loop too. The U.S. president doesn't make the decisions that would be required to fix the problems that the article is talking about.

I am not sure if it's practiced in the U.S., but in Europe lot of universities were historically actually run democratically, the management was elected by academics and students. So something like that.
> This could be placebo.

I agree there's likely a lot of placebo effect going on around this topic. I think there are certain people who are more photo-sensitive and chroma-sensitive than others, however, I suspect it's not a huge percentage of the population. There are also some potentially huge confounding factors making it harder to tease out the practical effect in our everyday lives. As a first-order effect, there's artificial room lighting itself without blue or screen light that's de-blueified. It seems likely that non-blue artificial light is going to have more effect above baseline than the delta between blue artificial light and 'corrected' non-blue artificial light.

The even bigger effect I wonder about is that the screens we look at generally have content and we look at them because that content is engaging our minds and holding our interest. It's often interactive and involves two-way communication. All of those things are going to be highly stimulating to our brains and I think that will likely swamp the effect of removing blue from the artificial light. We already know that reading or watching exciting content is going to make it harder to fall asleep for some time afterward - regardless if it's on a printed page, live or via a screen. Personally, I find that factor to be much larger than any chroma-effect.
I'm much more concerned about executive accountability than I am about individual employee accountability at a company with as much political power as, say, Google.

Unions are a way of balancing executive power. (I don't think they're a panacea though! All I hope for in this case is that it is able to improve the lives and working conditions of Google's cafeteria workers)
BEST NEWS OF THE DECADE
I really liked that series! While you can get into sectarian arguments and Jacobin is electoralist, the ABCs series is wonderful for someone new to this material imo.
Oh cool! I happened to build something similar a while back, because I was frustrated with the way that the Unix `cal` program laid out all the months in a 3 x 4 grid instead of in a continuous format:

https://github.com/jez/calz

So for example to get the same year-long calendar view as the Compact Calendar would have, I can type

calz 2020

calz has a couple other features too which make it nicer to use than `cal`, but those are beside the point.
The 757 and 767 were designed at the same time and have a common type rating. It’s not unusual at an airline that has both aircraft for a pilot to be flying a 757 one day and a 767 the next.
> A union is an organization for extracting rents above those the market would ordinarily bear.

The operative word there is "normally", which makes your claim tautalogical. Unions do increase the cost of labor compared to a market without unions, but this is simply relative. You haven't (and I claim that you cannot) provide a reason that the cost of labor without unions is more natural, and isn't simply unnaturally suppressed by an imbalance in market power between job seekers and providers.
Sucks but I'm guessing people don't think your comment was relevant to the topic.
or extreme lobbying
I don't usually comment on HN, but I have to mention how amazing I found Tim Roughgarden's courses (Coursera's Algorithm specialization). The first course took me 1 month to complete, but that's because I wanted to make sure I truly understand the running time. Roughgarden does an amazing job of teaching you just enough math to ensure that you understand the entire conceptual picture.
For T_c=293 and T_h=303, you get efficiency = 1.4% for zT=5 and efficiency = 1.0% for zT=2.5. So about a 40% relative increase as OP calculated and negligible absolute change.
It seems like an interesting machine learning problem rather than AI complete? There are lots of finicky details when transcribing speech as well, but it's apparently not AI complete. You do need a large corpus so the algorithm knows what's typical.

If I were going to work on this, I would work on generating lead sheets from YouTube videos. Recognizing chords seems like a useful thing to solve?
I have had a different experience. Last year I filled out my 1040EZ and was unhappy with the final amount owed. I decided to click through turbo tax who found me a lot of deductions related to student loans and things. I think I only paid like $35 and they saved me over a thousand I would have missed otherwise.

And truthfully, it's not a lot of money. I would gladly pay $30-40 just to not have to deal with the hassle of filling out a piece of paper and mailing it and all that. Now that the IRS seems to have a decent electronic system, I'll give that a go this year and see if turbo tax is worth it anymore.

Yeah, turbo tax is a pretty scummy company with all the lobbying and deception. I won't argue that. But their product is genuinely good and provides utility to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
> Linux (at least Archlinux) doesn't require much once you install it, are happy with the set-up and regularly update it.

Using Archlinux presumes you already know your system intimately and have taken the time to hand-craft it. That would make solving problems down the road much easier.

On the other hand, if you're like me and you want to just drop standard-issue Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) on a computer and then just use it, you quickly encounter gaps in the defaults/automatic setup and have to dig in and try to figure out where things went wrong. Your graphics driver gets confused when you plug in a second monitor. Your WiFi card isn't detected. There's no sound. Little things that kill your workflow in a death by a thousand cuts.

Windows has just as much intrinsic fragility, if not more, but through sheer economy of scale nearly everyone's real-world problems have been addressed by layer upon layer of defaults and automatic checks. That's how Windows manages to "just work" most of the time.
Considering the story about the burning (diesel) busses in Rome last year [1], maybe switching to batteries is not such a good idea for Italy?

The problem most of the times is correctly parsing the CSV files.
People will think you're joking but this is essentially what that world historic text is about and it makes its argumentation clearly: https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~lebelp/MarxEngelsTheCommunistM...

"On a modern full-sized laptop etc, sure code efficiency doesn't matter much"

Well it really mattered to me when I lost my patience and replaced a piece of code written in Python that was doing some data manipulation/processing with the native one. Suddenly what used to take an hour got down to less then 1 minute.
I think that's a stretch. I like the calendar, but from what I can tell it's only useful for looking up the day of the week that a date falls on; shrinking it like this is similar to lossy compression.

With a moderate amount of practice you can also calculate a weekday given a date in your head! (Though I'd rather use this w)

So this is not exactly a "product"; people wouldn't fork over money for this. It's a neat design concept.

To add: CLIs aren't necessarily clever (I'd add rarely clever), and Windows-like products can often be far from simple. There are learning curves involved, but I think that's (mostly) a separate matter than simplicity/cleverness.

Again I think this calendar is cool, props to OP for thinking outside the box and making something for the new year~
A Union is a Union not a employment agency
You don't go to jail for filing a wrong number accidentally. Only if you are intentionally lying/hiding income. I know people who didn't pay tax FOR THEIR BUSINESS for several years and they settled the debt for much less than they owed and definitely did not go to jail. This is just misinformation.
I once filed taxes late (filed like 2012 taxes in early 2014) and my refund included interest, I think it was sent in a second check.

They also sent me some form the year after that so I could declare the couple dollars interest I got from the IRS as income.
Also csvkit, xsv is way faster but less feature-complete (based on my experience last time I used both)
As has been said before: ignore the boos. They usually come from the cheap seats.
I built https://www.ecommerceranker.com in this last month.

It's an interactive database of the top 100 Shopify stores, with 19+ e-commerce data points available for each one.

I'm really happy that the average time spent on the website is over 4 minutes and 30 seconds - I never expected people to be this interested, so now I'm thinking of ways to expand this idea.
The Australian Government's Met service has a neat tool which lets you see live images from the Himawari 8 satelite, which shows the smoke really well.

Just another in what seems like a never ending stream of lies and exaggerations designed to make the population fearful, anxious and depressed.

It's been more than a decade now, of this fear mongering on a global scale. First it has to completely stop, and then we have to seek out those responsible. The damage they've done is immeasurable.
Never saw that in a package for Ubuntu or Archlinux, not even AUR packages.

Maybe it's just not the target audience of such toolbars, but if there were I'd also expect package maintainers and user comments would deal with the issue.
For non-americans reading this I presume the parent poster means "paying on top of the amount already withheld by the government", not total income taxation.

Does the government automatically know what you spent in business expenses? Or what charitable donations you made? Or what property you may have lost during the year?
Domestic violence is the "epidemic" that nobody wants to admit exists.
Windows 7 goes end of life in 2 weeks. Unless you're using an old computer your hardware (e.g. CPU) is probably not supported, even if it does run it won't run properly. With EoL approaching Nvidia/AMD will stop publishing driver updates and new GPUs won't be hardware accelerated. The security model in Windows 10 is as big a jump as XP -> 7 was. It often takes manually loading additional drivers to even get the installer to recognize your disks/hardware.
If that's an issue, I would see about making VirtualBox use Hyper-V for the hypervisor.
Just like hexdumps, or any other data-dense format: humans are highly capable of learning to read and understand them, quickly and precisely.
I feel that it helped me learn to write better business emails, by getting me to focus on writing clearly and concisely.

I’d have to refer to the book to be able to comment on the specifics of the advise though.

I also remember the beginning of the book being more interesting but perhaps the beginning was just more relevant to me.
You make an interesting point. It remains to be seen whether Googlers will form a union in which members that share differing viewpoints will feel more empowered to express their views without fear of losing their jobs.
Xubuntu has had the same look and feel for it's entire existence. Screen tearing is the only issue I've ever had with it on fresh installs, but that's easily fixed by a copy/paste.
There are at least 10x the number of employees to executives who have access to your email contents and browsing history. Using the worst %3 of individuals as a baseline, the executives are the people you have the very least to worry about.
I don't buy for a second that the wages absent a union are what a free market would predict. A free market requires freedom to participate, and most individuals are forced to sell their labor in exchange for food and shelter, let alone necessities like healthcare. Unions provide a framework where something closer to a free market wage (note: this is to say nothing of the morality of using markets for these purposes, a separate question) can be negotiated. Maybe in a world where people had a UBI they could live off of this could be argued, but that's not the world of today. You're cherry picking free market economics only where it suits you.

Your assessment of antitrust law is also pretty far removed from reality. By that logic, mergers and acquisitions would be illegal in every instance. Or, for that matter, standards bodies. Corporations band together to increase profits all the damn time, and the overwhelming majority of this activity is legal.
Interesting, did not know there was an actual subject called "Psychographics" (found by googling for "psycography" which Google corrected to "psychography"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychographics

Somewhat unrelated to this subject matter, I know, but wasn't aware of it until this point...
I too didn't learn to tie my shoes until my (late) 30s. Turns out that one used a square knot and the other a granny.

And just like the author, I also learned about the problem, and how to recognize it, from reading https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm .
Great concept. I would've prefered an option to switch the days of the week and dates of the month. That way the numbers loop and the day of the week is fixed as a row/column header. That's more similar to how we read usual wall calendars.
> I decided to click through turbo tax who found me a lot of deductions related to student loans and things.

We require any companies who collect interest payments on things like student loans to automatically report that to the IRS. We could then have the IRS fill that in for your tax return automatically.

But special interests don't want that to happen.
I get the runner's high most days when I run (and I typically run 6 or 7 days a week), starting about a half hour in. I feel very comfortable physically and mildly euphoric mentally. I hear more in the music I'm listening to than I normally do and I tend to feel very good about people (both others and myself).

FWIW, I do most (80%?) of my running at a 130bpm heart-rate and typically don't get the runner's high when I'm working out more intensely (the other ~20% of the time).

I don't know that I would run as much as I do if I didn't get the runner's high, although I didn't get it regularly when I began. One big takeaway I got from reading one of Lydiard's books was that when you're building your base you basically can't run too slowly, but it's very easy to run too quickly.

If you run too quickly you risk injury and burn-out which interferes much more with making progress as a runner than if perhaps you're not running quite fast enough to get the maximum adaptation for your effort.
As an average Joe it seems like it can be pretty much impossible to figure out the rules in any number of corner cases.

For example. I'm considering installing Solar Panels on my house. The entirety of the official IRS guidance (in the manuals) is this:

"Qualified solar electric property costs are costs for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in your home located in the United States. No costs relating to a solar panel or other property installed as a roof (or portion thereof) will fail to qualify solely because the property constitutes a structural component of the structure on which it is installed. The home doesn't have to be your main home."

So of course the first question you ask is "Ok, I have to fix my roof to install solar, and that appears to be covered. But does it only cover the part of the roof covered by the panels or does it cover the entire roof job? Does it cover the costs of only a basic roof job or a premium job? If it only covers the portion under the panels what is the procedure to prorate the costs?"

It wasn't clear to me so I called the IRS help line, figuring that this is their job. They are the ones that ultimately decide one way or the other if my deduction is valid or felony tax fraud. The official guidance from the help line is "We do not offer guidance on that issue." The money we are talking about isn't trivial either. It can amount to thousands of dollars, guessing wrong could theoretically mean actual jail time or massive fines if someone at the IRS decides to make an example of you.

Like WTF IRS. I'm trying to do right here and you're literally making it impossible.
I think the US is really a special case here. Also: We never deployed this LI solution in the US.

You're right - because of Google's efforts nowadays everything is going to be encrypted when it comes to web traffic. That's both good and bad.
Yes the government always pays interest on money it owes you.
One of the things I pay attention to from a UX standpoint is “Am I avoiding this function because I legitimately have no use for it? Or is it because there’s just enough friction that I’m avoiding it and not noticing?”

An example from my own audio life: I have airplay speakers and an IoT outlet for their power. When I watch video on my iPad I can get much better sound through the speakers, but because it involves pausing the video, pulling down the control centre, tapping the airplay icon, tapping the speakers as the output, then going in to Home and turning on the speakers, more than half the time I just skip the whole process and listen through the iPad.

It only takes 5-10 seconds total, but that’s still enough that I subconsciously avoid it. The subconscious part is that it just ‘slips my mind’ most of the time as opposed to consciously choosing.
Glad you acknowledge that labor conditions (including salary) are a market.

As we know, there is a price floor and a price ceiling in a market, represented by the buyer and seller.

What we also know is that the price does not fall perfectly in the middle of that floor and ceiling - it benefits the person with more bargaining power.

A corporation has more bargaining power because it is a massive financial entity comprised of sometimes tens of thousands of people. Non unionized workers show up during a salary negotiation against that? One person with a family to feed and enough savings to survive maybe another 2 months without a job? Gee I wonder how imbalanced the bargaining power is there.

We allowed corporations to incorporate because of the advantages of doing so. We should allow the other half of the labor market-transaction to do the same, not only because it's fair, but because the union side reprents humans, while the corporate side reprents companies, which are not humans. It's kinda insane to want to give these non human conglomerates more power but hey vote with your values.
`xsv` can do far more than just join and select, such as searching, filtering, partitioning, ...

For me it's the first choice when I find myself with a CSV file to work with. I've also encountered situations where just getting some raw data from a (slow) database and "querying" it with xsv ended up being the fastest option to get the results I wanted.
All true, although one of the things that bothers me is that even if you can read music you to need to understand the historical context in order to play a piece properly. For example, you would play a Bach piece with a lighter touch and less legato than you would a Beethoven piece with the same notes. And of course a jazz musician looking at music from a certain area is almost certainly going to play what look like eighth notes with swing, which is a completely different feel and should actually be notated differently as well.
I’m not saying those are easy to automate, or that everything can be automated, I’m saying a lot of things are able to be automated. Not only capital gains and interests, I suppose mortgage interest deduction would also be easy.
Their automated systems caused two crashes and their solution is to automate more systems?

Have they literally gone insane?
I have wondered whether the servers are overloaded, will maybe try logging the network traffic the next time I try to update.
I would think that once formal methods become easier to use they will be super useful. I am pretty sure 10 or 20 years they would have laughed at you if you had talked about automated testing on the scale we do now.
> fines would be imposed on strikers

.. which won't be paid, and you have to deal with the picket line.

State fines for non-attendance at work? State fines for calling in sick? Seriously, this is how you get Chile. Or Venezuela.
