> Employment is not a boss->servant relationship

It is, for the vast majority of employed people.

> it's a relationship where both parties gain something.

For the vast majority of employed people, what they gain is the ability to continue to afford food and shelter.

Most jobs do not afford the economic reality necessary to allow the employee a position of being able to afford to bargain as anything approaching an equal.

It is not a strange way to look at the world for anyone who has lived for any significant amount of time as a worker in any average job. It is helpless, yes.

Ask HN: What would make search better?
Search engines have been a hot topic on HN over the last few months, in the entrepreneurial spirit I wanted to send out a survey to find out what the HN audience feels is lacking in their current search engines.

I've always been interested in languages and over the years I've tried many.

Apps certainly help but I find nothing sticks. I can easily read words of the language in front of me. But I can't think of example sentences on my own.

For French I was amazed at how much of it is condensed. Like English some people jokingly may say "jeet" for "did you eat". In French there are a surprisingly large amount of examples like that.
You can’t come to your manager at anytime when you have an issue. It’s not always because of lack of trust. They are busy managing. I sometimes need to schedule a meeting with my manager to go over a technical proposal and his schedule is busy all day with meetings. That’s not meant to be negative.

Also, I’m at a level now that I need to come to a manager with both problems and proposed solutions.

Thanks for the feedback. That's pretty much how the discussions go. The team is small so I can still be 1:1 with them, and be direct about the state of things.

>This also makes it possible to track the trajectory of the company over time. When you're doing better, you can afford to turn down these types of requests.

Yeah, this is a really good indicator. Heck, if this keeps up -I- won't want to do it anymore! Which I think is perfectly natural.
It’s also, generally, much more harmful for an employee to lose or be passed over for a job than for an employer to fire someone or pass over an applicant. Most employers, if a single position goes unfilled for six months it may be annoying and even costly but they’ll be basically fine. Employee out of work for six months? Very different story.
I reread her memo, https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-on...

It is discouraging, the corruption shown by just one of any of the people she interacted with. Then to see it in so many different people, so consistently, with no exceptions, is eye opening to me. But worst of all is their job titles: manager, director, executive, Human Resources. Part of their jobs was to get in the way of this very thing!
Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_metric_system#L..., unification of units of measure between countries started in the 18th century because international trade made it a win.

The USA, because of its size and remoteness from Europe and Asia, has relatively little international trade of goods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_trade-to-... has the USA sixth from the bottom) and didn’t, and, apparently, still doesn’t feel that pressure as much.

And that's similar to what I am doing now, I booked appointment for someone in the few good ol' big hospital with a brand to protect.

The reason why I am sharing this is just that the number of those big hospitals isn't much compared to the number of patients and those aren't available to most people here. There are multitudes of factors like cost, time, availability, location and other considerations.

Also noticed online reviews have seen more uselessness. I wonder how many people fall in those traps.

Do you have a good resource for educating yourself about those issues? Any recommendations for books/publishers?
No it isn't, read the Wiki:

I share your belief, I think the web is in danger too. Even more than the terrible state of these walled garden social networks and terrible app permissions, is the threat of Google AMP. There has been an uncoordinated but pervasive attempt to capture networks of users, but for profit motives.

I also fear that with the increase in nationalism around the world, and cyber warfare becoming more serious, that even traditionally liberal governments will start exerting more control on their networks. Specifically, not just to protect strategic interests, but to restrict ideas. Particularly since foreign governments have begun to use social networks for propaganda purposes.

Poor corrections indeed. Using "dans" is less correct than the original "a". It's like saying to register "inside" a gym in English. Not the greatest choice of word unless you're really trying to point out the location.

In fact, the only correct correction among all that red is to replace "gym" by "salle de sport". Not to be confused with "gymnasium", it's similar but not the same thing.

The 4th line is misusing the future tense. Should have been pointed out.

I learned it at school as a kid. Not long. But I've taught others, seen adults pick it up. Like most other skills, it just requires work and practice. Immerse yourself in it, want to learn and you will. Most people simply take an intro course, don't talk to anyone then complain it's hard.
We reason symbolically and in an alphabetic culture such as our its entirely forgivable to name paper and the scribbles you put on it in order to think 'writing'.

Keeping stuff in your head while thinking with the stuff in your head changes it. The same with memories. If you have not noticed this, please challenge the statement: Keeping stuff in your head does not work; you need to externalize in order to use your differential engine, aka brain in order to 'think.'

Having said all this, I think because I am. not the other way 'round! everything else that you may think is thinking, maybe emotional/felt or aesthetic judging, would come from deeper down the stack.

Anyway, tell me about these other media.. and show me how you're not driving complex symbolic insights with them!

its all reasoning by analogy for us anyway :)

Take a look at Zim wiki: https://zim-wiki.org/
Until the industrial revolution, the human population everywhere was in equilibrium with agricultural technology. Improvements to technology would lead to population growth until wealth per capita reached the same old level and people stopped having as many kids. Check out the book "A farewell to Alms" for a solid 10 chapters of historical records on this from around the world.

The first person to notice this universal truth about the human population was Malthus. He had the misfortune to make the observation right on the eve of era when it stopped being true.

I dug up this treasure from last century by looking up urls from old saved favorite emails with the Internet Archive:

Marc de Groot made a brilliant multi-user networked VR system programmed in multitasking FORTH, called “MEME"!

Here's his announcement that Brian Behlendorf forwarded to the www-vrml mailing list:

http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-vrml.1994/0255.html

From: marc@kg6kf.ampr.org (Marc de Groot - KG6KF)
Subject: Meme
To: www-vrml@wired.com
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 94 11:26:25 PDT

Hello. It's about time I introduced myself. I'm Marc de Groot, the founder
of Immersive Systems, Inc. in San Francisco.

I started ISI to sell Meme, which is a virtual world development
system. Meme is intended to create a single shared virtual universe on
the net.

ISI released the alpha version of Meme last month.

Meme stands for Multitasking Extensible Messaging Environment. Meme started
life as a programming language. Some "OS-level services" were added to the
system, and finally the messaging mechanism was added to allow virtual objects
to communicate. At this point, Meme is evolving into a communications
protocol.

I heartily agree with the statements that have been made on this mailing
list about net software: make something proprietary, and the net hackers will
write a free replacement which everyone will use.

I intended to make the protocol public later this year, after ISI had fulfilled
higher priority obligations, however the establishment of this list has
prompted me to put some preliminary information on the net at this time.
I have put up a WWW page for Immersive Systems. The URL is

http://remarque.berkeley.edu/~marc/home.html

>From the home page, you can read an overview of Meme, look at the programming
manual, and download a demo world to try on your own PC.

Meme has certain features that I would want to see in any specification for
VRML. In particular, Meme allows the world designer to specify platform-
independent executable code for the object's behavior. Without this
ability, objects have relatively rigid, uninteresting behavior.

That platform-independent code needs to load over the net with a minimum
of overhead, and needs to execute efficiently. Meme satisfies both of
these requirements.

That completes my thoughts for now. I will post in the future, as time
permits.

I didn't know there was a stratification!
I appreciate the "You need code, I need to eat" mentality but I don't think managers/managed need to treat each other with a total cold clinical demeanor. You might just be there to work, but treating each other like people makes you hate going into work just a little bit less.

People might not want to be too close to people in case they need to get rid of them. I think being a good coach means loving your team but still being strong enough to make the hard decisions. At least it lets you make those hard decisions from a place of humanity.

The big difference with rice is that you aren't dependent on the weather nearly as much as you are with corn and potatoes. Corn and Potatoes put out more calories per acre when the rains fall at the right times in the right amounts, but rice puts out those calories regardless of the weather.

Ultimately you can only sustain a population as large as your food output at the end of a two or thee year long drought.

Top Secret is only one of several levels of classification.

You really need to mark things as unclassified in the government because other people need to be able to answer basic questions like:

- what computer am I allowed to view/edit/save/transmit this on?

- can I talk to my coworkers about this, and if so, which ones?

- what do I do with printed copies of this document?

Answering these questions wrong can land you in serious trouble, including jail time. So even as a courtesy to your peers, you want to mark them (U).
> For herpes encephalitis, MRI is debatable because

I’m curious kind of institution you’re at? Everywhere I’ve been (NE) it’s fallen down academic lines: adverse impact of unneeded antiviral tx vs. mortality benefit in hsv encephalitis is incredibly one-sided, and time sensitive. Academic tertiary care institutions basically considered it borderline malpractice not to just initiate antivirals and d/c later. Non-academic secondary care institutions agreed in theory, but basically only started antivirals if everything else was off the table and/or imaging was characteristic (aka, either too damn late or later than it should be), but cases were rare enough it didn’t mean much in practice.

You're asking a bunch of unrelated questions. It's pretty obvious the epidemic in China is very serious. That's why they are taking all those measures.
Fair points, but my thinking was more for cases here in the US where insurance may or may not cover an MRI of your choice for something like torn rotator cuff, or where you'll end up paying your full out of pocket maximum for it. Cheaper options in such cases would be welcome.

Non-radiologists already see all the relevant imaging, they’re just not nearly good enough to read them. More machines won’t change that.
I don't usually point out mistakes in non-native speakers' writing because I know most people will perceive it the way that you do. However, I always wish that people would correct me when I make a mistake in a foreign language. So part of me always wants to point things out to help people like me.

> It's quite possible for children to have parents reading to them often and more than an hour a day of screen time.

I wonder if this is the case? I think you're quite right about the fact that it's more likely the time with parents than the screentime. But I don't think there will ever really be a chance to study kids whose time with parents and time with screens differs.

My kids are pretty young, but because they're in bed so early there just isn't enough time in the day for them to have dinner, a story and even an hour of TV after pre-school. I suspect that's the case for most kids of two working parents.

Nearly automatic, yes. But step 6 requires a statutory minimum waiting period of 10 business days, to allow the claimant time to file a lawsuit and notify Google of it. Google probably has the lawsuit notification handling sufficiently automated as not to add any additional delay, but if counter-notices are rare enough, this may be manual involving a check with Google legal.
The 32-bit to 64-bit ARM transition was a huge deal. It was made somewhat seamless to end users because both copies of the entire system stack could be included for a few releases, but it was at least as big a deal as the 32-to-64-bit x86 transition. Moreover, it came with the Secure Enclave, which totally changed the security model for iOS devices.

T2 Macs essentially also moved to the iOS Secure Boot model. There is still an UEFI firmware but it lives in the coprocessor now, and it doesn't do as much as it used to. Many of the things used to run in the UEFI firmware now run in the T2.
