Sure its not literally about the physical means of production, but more the abstract notion around creating/owning a bussiness. A hard problem that does involve real skill and lots of risk.

The reason you're not starbucks isn't that you can't serve coffee out of your house. Do you think that independent coffee houses don't exist? Do you think that new coffee franchises don't come into being regularly?

The reason you're not facebook has nothing to do with dmca or cfaa (relatively easy to comply with regulations). Do you think that facebook didn't have to deal with that when they started? They were hardly the first social network either so its not like they had first-movers advantage.
I find it amusing to see people buy a Pinebook for $100, and miss out on the amazing customization and learning experience gained by building a system on top of a Raspberry Pi. Why sacrifice the fun, personalization, and learning of building your own just to save a few pennies by buying a prebuilt system?

I agree that meritocracy is more a talking point than reality on the ground. I just mean, right now there is a disparity in income. Think of it as the income inequality that's common in many countries. In principle the tech world seems to agree this that setup; that some engineers should be paid significantly more than others.

In my previous experience with unions in North America, incomes tends to be compressed towards the middle. You get rid of the very low and very high income earners. Maybe this is just an implementation problem and isn't inherent to unions, but in practice here, it does seem to be common.

Not in my experience (2 unions). Do you have any examples of unions where this has occurred? (Recently, not some event from the 1950's or 1960's -- racists and sexists were much more powerful in all forums back then.)

Your example is universities, and I've never heard of any university faculty being unionized. In fact, that's another great example of a system where policymakers have immense prestige and very high paying jobs. Tenure allows senior faculty to set crazy agendas of all sorts, good and bad. That's the main criticism of the tenure system! Having worked a few years in academia and a few years under a trade union, I can tell you the two could not be more different, in structure or operation. I'm not sure how a criticism of academia is relevant in a discussion of unions.

You ask "How many universities have special tutoring just for women?". I don't know. How many? I searched the 3 colleges I've attended in my life, and none of them do (or at least it's not easy to find online -- compared to all the "free tutoring for all" that I found). Are you suggesting that many do?

If you want to talk about illegal discrimination, give me facts, not vague innuendo and rhetorical leading questions. And let's not get distracted by unrelated systems.

Of course if everyone gets higher pay (if we just look at pay) then that's a good thing. In your hypothetical of course I'd want 150k for everyone. Do we have data to show that this is the effect of unions in white collar jobs?
There are online businesses, call centers, tech startups that have been affected. Maybe you would hear what they are saying if you weren’t too busy sneering.

> The overwhelming majority of Go code isn't written at Google

I write go for my day job; I'm quite aware of their process. They control the language's future and new features pretty much single handedly. Also, I'd be very very surprised to find out that the overwhelming majority of code isn't written by google, do you have a stat on that you can quote?

> it isn't being used to"jerk off into template engines".

I'm saying go doesn't do that. You can't build these crazy compile time abstractions in it like you can other languages, and Google doesn't really need it to because they have enough man power to just brute force it. It doesn't want their workforce build abstractions for abstractions sake, and go doesn't really help you do that.

> or "increase clickthrough rate by 0.1%".

It is very much used to do that, I've been told by product and engineering friends at google.
>The core allegation in the Micfo case is that the company fraudulently obtained 800k IP addresses from ARIN using fake companies. The author of this post corroborates handling large quantities of the the PTR record changes for these companies in exactly the manner described at trial.

What? He says it was done for customers. Not for shell companies.

>And yet you're all like "I can't believe anyone thinks this is related!" based on the fact that some other stuff alleged (which seems reasonably credible to me, and also plausibly illegal if you infer some context) wasn't part of the trial. But... so what?

My main point is that nothing alleged in OP is actually illegal. OP implying otherwise is just ignorant of the law. Unethical, perhaps, although I'd defend at least some of the stuff described. The fact that it mentions the trial and mentions the (legal) practice of having multiple shell companies doesn't change anything. They weren't charged with having shell companies, but with using those companies to commit fraud. OP mentions none of that fraud.

>I don't understand why you're saying Child Endangerment isn't "actually illegal", it's literally a term of art in the field used in statutes all across the US! Obviously that's not proof of a crime here, but... no, you're wrong, "child endangerment" is an actual crime.

I'm saying the actions alleged in OP are not illegal, including the actions described in the child endangerment section.
You're not missing anything.

Beyond the fact it's a rat race, the other problem is that there's zero moderation nor penalty to weed out the monkeys who will bid unsustainable rates to every single job (regardless of their skillset - which is nonexistent btw but I digress), and then find a way to get a good rating despite delivering shit (if delivering anything at all). I've read stories of some freelancers withholding the deliverable until the client leaves a good rating.

It's difficult to compete by offering quality when every single task post is swarmed by these monkeys. For an unexperienced client they look like very good deals and the good rating makes them feel at ease. Of course, they'll end up disappointed, but at that point they'll either leave the platform for good, or not have any more time or money to pay someone better to try it again. In the end, everyone (but the monkeys) lose.

In general, tilt the system away from favoring money concentrations.

Favor small business formation (and worker coop formation) with higher SBA loan funding. Put required worker representation on corporate boards (like Germany) of larger corporations. Do actual antimonopoly enforcement. Tax large corps more. Create more public ownership of housing and infrastructure.. it's all pretty mundane well trodden and reasonable practice for good governance.

Exotic stuff would be government backed individual loan lines for citizens. The limit could be expanded on repayments but zero consequence if never repaid. The idea would be to open a window for entrepreneurship when right now, wages have basically squeezed out the possibility of most people starting any sort of business from savings. If you can make things grow, you get a larger limit. Basically decentralize loans.
So close, but not quite right.

Apologies! It was late and my proofreading became less rigorous.

I'll rewrite it:

"The they're-a-bunch-of-quacks story doesn't have to explain the Nimitz incident. The AAWSAP/AATIP group were given footage and reports of the incident, but the existence or nonexistence of the event is independent of what that group says."

By analogy:

People see a man in the distance stumbling through the woods covered in blood. They go to help, but can't find him. A hunting camera catches something moving through the trees around the same time the man was spotted. The police investigate, but it goes unresolved.

Years pass. A private detective appears in our story. This detective has unconventional views, such as believing that dogs can see dead people, vampires exist, Hitler is alive and imprisoned under the White House, etc. The detective has written about these subjects. In past unsolved murders, he has claimed Dracula was the murderer. Once, he tried to get a homeless man arrested after a stray dog led him from a grave to a back alley.

The private detective convinces the police chief, who already has some suspicion that vampires exist, of the danger posed by vampires. The police chief decides to fund the private detective, telling him to investigate the vampire angle.

Whatever the truth is regarding the blood-covered man, the police chief should have looked at the detective's wide range of bizarre beliefs, considered the severe deficit in judgement that those beliefs indicate, and not given him funds to investigate the case. Especially as it turns out he's using some of the funds to investigate all of his other wild beliefs, and even used funding to pay the costs of a group of Hitler-is-under-the-White-House believers.

Are you talking about Berkeley CS PhDs? My take-home pay is closer to $2.7K / month, with double in the summer.

That makes my take-home annual pay about $41K. $55K might be from the year I was on fellowship, payed at a slightly higher rate and without taxes taken out.
I forgot to mention: differential dataflow is capable of providing much stronger consistency guarantees than Noria is. Differential dataflow is consistency preserving—if your source of truth provides strict serializability, differential can also provide strict serializability—while Noria provides only eventual consistency.

Tapping into the consistency-preserving features in Materialize is a bit complicated at the moment, but we're actively working on improving the integration of our consistency infrastructure for MySQL and PostgreSQL upstreams.

I think the average data team at a startup using something like Redshift/BigQuery/Snowflake is using window functions quite extensively when writing analytical queries/building data pipelines so I'm surprised to hear you haven't see much customer demand for them.

If you trying to wholesale replace a "traditional" batch oriented data warehouse like the ones I mentioned above I think building support for window functions would be essential.

If this was in California, you absolutely could have filed for unemployment, even if you were unemployed for performance reasons. Worst that could've happened is that the unemployment office could've rejected the application. In this case, they likely would've called to interview you and get a statement on why you were terminated, in which case a verbal description would do the trick (mentioning that you had received an excellent performance review just the week before would've been enough for the interviewer).

Source: I've been fired (for "performance") once and laid off twice, for all of which I've applied for unemployment benefits (approved the first two times; rejected the third because I was a contractor and not eligible to be treated as employee-equivalent). I didn't have any written evidence for the "performance" one; I just told the interviewer that after I was terminated my former supervisor had to hire multiple people in my place (which was true).

Long story short: always file for unemployment, even if the chances of approval are slim. The worst they can do is say no.
This is the problem. Homes shouldn't be an investment. It should be a depreciating asset like cars at worst and a human right at best. Especially in a country as large as the US with so much resources, we shouldn't have turned homes into an investmens. Productive assets like companies should be investments.

But at this point, we are trapped. The largest retirement asset for most people are their homes. It's political suicide to do anything that would hurt the valuations of homes. If you are an older individual with your home making up a bulk of your retirement nest egg, you aren't going to vote for policies that make homes more affordable. And older folks vote more often and in larger numbers than younger voters.
I agree that unions have done a lot; the point is that the evidence shows it to be a double edged sword. Following the link I posted, it explains how one effect of current collective bargaining agreements enables owners of sports teams to cap the percentage of the overall revenue going to players. For example, collective bargaining has given us free agency in baseball, which has been great; it's also given us a system in which players don't hit free agency until they've been playing for 5 or 6 years, at which point they're usually in their late 20's or early 30's, and have missed prime earning years on the free market (having to settle for whatever comes out of the arbitration process).

Some of the increase in pay is due to the union, and they should be applauded for that, but part of the increase in pay in all these leagues also is due in part to the increase in revenues from media deals

Yah you are entirely wrong. I lived in Santa Cruz for 4 years while going to school. If you dont think the residual wealth from just over the hill raises housing prices and drives out lower cost-of-living housing the same way that it happened in SF proper you are willingly deluding yourself of the truth.

In my 4 years at Santa Cruz I was not aware of one low-rent housing development being built. There was one developed on West Cliff near the boardwalk but it was like 3.5k for a 2 bedroom apartment and that was the only one I was aware of.
Yes, that is another problem, although it involves CSS. I suggested before to have a ARIA view, which would cause it to use ARIA properties rather than CSS to decide the rendering. I have not thought of your example though, but it is a feature I would like to have. (ARIA view would do other things too.)

Another thing worth pointing out from this link: when the NFL players were last trying to get serious about negotiating with the NFL owners, they decertified the union. Their ultimate threat wasn't "you can't do this to us, we're part of a union," it was "if you don't give us concessions, we'll get rid of our union so you're on the wrong side of regulations." This is a completely different scenario from what software engineers would face. The analog with sports is just really not very good (whether one is in favor of unions for white collar workers or not).

Mondragon employs almost 100K people in a 'nation' of 3.5M people. It's inexorably tied to the national struggle of 'Basque People' in their attempts to achieve some degree of economic autonomy while ostensibly 'controlled' by another group with whom they have had historical antagonisms.

If there were no 'Basque People' I submit there would be no Mondragon.

In Quebec, where I live, there's a similar dynamic, and a host of national entities: telecoms, energy, finance etc. were taken over in an ethnocentric fashion, quite literally stated by the managers of the organizations. As a non-Quebecer, when I opened my bank account at 'Desjardins' (French/Quebecois almost cooperative style bank), they referred to themselves as 'nous' (meaning 'us') and to myself as 'vous' (meaning you, plural), as though there was a clear distinction in their minds. Their employment at Desjardins bank is accepted at least some extent as a 'cause', tied to the nationalist movement. I'm not offended by it as I'm not really ethnically 'Quebecois' but the boundary lines were crystal clear.

This type of thing is common and normal in the world, something that 'New Worlders' often struggle with because we view things through a different lens. I think this causes us to misinterpret important dynamics, and not grasp what's actually happening with causes such as Mondragon, and certain kinds of socialized services in other European countries.
