Unfortunately, many workers want to do horrible things, such as to make it illegal for someone to work in engineering of they don't have a CS degree, or if they came out of a bootcamp, or the like.

Workers voting to put up barriers to entry, and keep out the competition, is both rational, democratic, common in unions, and also a completely horrible thing to do.
hi there, thanks for sharing. How is the workflow for a preview feature ? Meaning, i'm editing content, i kinda want to see what it will look like IF published. Should i wait for an entire build of (assume 30 to 100) pages just to see this new/updated one ?

How do you solve the "search engine" problem with a static web site ?
I never found a solution for that issue. I want to search in my blog, full text with no external service.
Until law mandates that all labor unionize - and as closed shops, at that - the rights of the minority are hardly impaired when any one shop does so. Open shops exist, as do shops with no union of any sort, and employees need not remain employees at all, of anyone, if they no longer so choose; they are free to start their own businesses, of whatever sort best suits them. Those who decline to join a union, even at a newly closed shop, are constrained only in that they no longer meet the requirements of the job at hand - and the "right to work", so called, does not extend so far as to establish, regarding any given company with a union or without one, a right to work there.

The plea to "tyranny of the majority" thus seems here to conceal a plea for the tyranny of the minority, in that they be allowed to frustrate their colleagues' strongly held and constructively expressed desire to obtain a more equitable balance of power in their workplace by recognizing their shared interest and forming a united bloc to match that which management and ownership present in support of their own shared interest.

One wonders on what basis this sort of tyranny merits more favorable consideration than any other.

No, you'd have to show $0 income (ignoring for a moment the low 0% tax bracket). So, very much negative profit, unless you're not paying rent, fuel for your car, food, not to mention taxes like property taxes, sales taxes, etc.
You also have to be online with good connectivity within the app to view the menu for removing an album from the device. Presumably, because offline access means access only if you are really, truly, completely offline.

A major difference is that all the characters in Dante were considered real, historical persons. There is a long tradition of creating "historical fiction" around historical characters, eg. the Pesudepigaphs, the Greek Tragedies.

Don Quixote on the other hand was known as a fictional character invented by an author. Creating new works based on another authors fictional characters and universe constitutes IMHO a distinct genre.

To put it in modern terms, Dante didn't infringe anyone's copyright, although he might be liable for libel.
I believe the article mentioned investments going full speed towards automation for the industries that allow it and retire low-skilled and manual labor jobs for the rest of eternity.

I'm located in the US and they moved many of the LS/ML jobs overseas decades ago, so we can expect a consorted effort from the UK, US and AU kindly stating that selective immigration is in everyones best interest.

It may also be a guise to limit fallout from climate change migration, but that remains to be seen.
"How can we provide clean energy as cheaply as possible" seems like a pretty big problem we need to solve. Maybe kite power isn't the answer, but it certainly looked like it could be at one point. It wasn't unreasonable to investigate it.
I could see a usecase for rapid automated A/B testing, using ML to react to performance metrics. Why have human editors on cnn.com when you can in real time do story selection based on view traffic?

That said, hope we as technologists can find some better use cases than just stealing more of people’s a attention.

Corporate taxes in the US are based on business profits. $0 profit = $0 net income (gross income minus expenses) => $0 income tax.

There's no such thing as a negative profit. That's called a loss.

Seems unlikely. Assuming a civilization could send a force to take over earth from many light years away, what could they possibly find of use?

Any element is easier to get elsewhere (without such a big gravity well) and no monkey descendants grumpily lobbing nukes at ya.

Sure, maybe they would harvest the asteroids and small moons while ignoring our complaints over sent over radio waves. No direct impact on earth. Maybe they would zorch a few suspicious looking sats with high energy signatures while they sat in high orbit and observed.

If we particularly amused them, or they thought we were uniquely tasty they could just grab a few of us and figure out how to replicate us.

Maybe our internet and fascination with cat videos would amuse them, some advanced crawlers running on quantum computers (for those pesky prime number based encryption) might cause some serious, but temporary disruption.

Maybe they would install a world leader with orange hair to sabotage any world wide scientific progress to help ensure we don't make significant progress any time soon.

But the sci-fi troupes of stealing humans to eat or vacuuming up the atmosphere or oceans seems exceedingly unlikely.

If anything they might drop a blackhole into the sun to harvest 10% of the mass that falls in and is converted into energy. That way then can use the energy for something more useful. But if that was common we'd be seeing lots of other stars disappear strangely.

All in all seems rather egocentric to think any really advanced civilization would particularly care about us.
This is a problem for new user growth on all reputation-based sites -- review sites like Yelp, even HN.
That's nice, and how it was done for decades. But I'm looking at JWT in a context where we have an application with a REST API, third parties paying us for licenses want to write frontends running on their own domains using to that API, and authentication servers are run by end user organizations that manage their own users.

Our API knows that that organization's auth server is allowed to sign tokens, the third party frontends can obtain those tokens and send them to our API, and it works (or so I hope, I'm in the reading up on all this stuff phase). Sessions using regular cookies just don't.

Dendrochronology holds a special place in my heart, because it's the thing that finally shook me out of my young earth creationist (YEC) haze about 9 years ago. As the Wikipedia page states, we have a good chronology going back about 12k years, which is a few thousand years before all YEC timelines.

Other more complicated dating techniques like radiocarbon dating and ice cores are too abstract or complicated, and therefore easier to hand wave away as containing too many unprovable assumptions. For instance, serious YEC people like to point out that we're assuming that the speed of light or radioactive decay rates were constant in the recent past. If it seems insane to cling to bad arguments like this, welcome to the world of science-minded YEC people.

But tree rings... everyone has seen tree rings, and everyone knows that sometimes they're thicker and sometimes thinner. That's hard to argue away. The YEC camp tries: they point out we're assuming there's one ring per year. But when I realized that this really was their best argument, I had to give up YEC and find out how deep the rabbit hole went. About a year later, I was an atheist.

The cynic/realist would say its not minimizing casualties but minimizing negative effects of casualties.

That nowadays is necessary to win a war because society doesn’t accept as much suffering from both own and enemy forces and civilians as it used to. The USA got out of Vietnam because of lack of home support and decreased morale of its soldiers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War#Collapsing_U.S._mo...), not because of the enemy’s strength.

Imagine interoperability nightmare when we cannot rely on everything being just bytes being streamed.

I mean, everything would be stored and transmitted one time or another. Word document, sqlite database, an email and it's attachment. Imagine you could not send something as simple as word document because ip protocol assumes stream of bytes, and your operating system talks custom storage format. Imagine you cannot store, use sqlite database efficiently because operating system does not present you with efficient, fast, compatible byte storage.

In a world where there are literal conferences on how to psychologically abuse people to spend money in your app I feel that I'd never trust any sort of app that aims "help my psychologicall health".

Combined that with the fact that this whole "reveal article" has no actual substance and trying to sell me the idea and emotion rather than a feature makes feel that I'm being manipulated already and I hadn't even opened up the app yet!

I feel that the "app" medium has lost any credibility for providing solutions of this sort.
Yes, this is pretty much what I meant. The "horrid" part is that I would like to do a quick

(or similar) in vim to delete the quotes on a multi-line block. Even that is annoying. But with the unicode quotes I have to do a bit more conscious searching, which is a distraction.

Of course, the fact that the text is modified in any way is user-hostile. I don't mind re-typing a code example (since I'm trying to learn it), but I like to copy-paste sometimes (e.g. data literals).

I paid for a DRM-free ebook that's meant to be copy-pasted. We have a universal paradigm for how plaintext copy works. Apple charges a premium for good design.

I am just glad they left the EU. The problems with their government can only be solved by the British themselves and the EU doesn't help here, nor would I want any of these developments jumping over to other countries.

The need for low skilled workers is probably just for exploitation purposes. That seems to be the case in most instances. For now, the British and other EU countries are better off separated. Politicians have to answer the voters and they should have the last word on any visa or immigration debate.

> Olsen refused the offer saying that the VAX architecture hadn't reached its end-of-life yet and EV4 was still a work in progress.

I currently work for a business that has done quite well replacing Excel solutions with proper databases. We've literally worked through the collapse of one company (and its rebirth after it was merged with something else) partially due to the sheer impossibility of managing Excel solutions that had grown out of control. Yes, they mainly grew out of control due to management problems, but the way they did so was remarkable in its rapidity and absurdity. Users were being bought machines with 16gb RAM so they could actually track their sales.

Yes, the corporations are contributing to rent jumps, but that was part of the point: by paying higher salaries, as is being demanded by the pro union crowd here, they also increase the rents. So they can't simply pay enough so that "people can buy a house within 5 years", because housing prices rise along with salaries.
