This framing would certainly be more transparent. I doubt though that DoorDash would want to explicitly adopt a compensation practice that's illegal in seven states including their home state of California (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped).
I think it's maybe less global than it was previously (and in a way that helps pave the way for improving compile times), but there's still a lot of ways to cause spooky type errors at a distance due to the assignment type inference rule.

module Example
def self.some_method
"string"
end

class Foo
getter :var1

def initialize
@var1 = SomeUtilities.something
end
end

module SomeUtilities
def self.something
Example.some_method
end

def self.do_something_with_string(input : String)
puts input
end
end
end

Example::SomeUtilities.do_something_with_string(Example::Foo.new)

If you change Example.some_method to return :symbol, you now get a type error on the final line.
Before connecting each client needs to be set up with (1) its own private key and (2) the server's public key. The server also needs to have each client's public key. Once you have securely shared this information out-of-band, there cannot be a man-in-the-middle attack because both sides know the expected public key of the other side, and can prove ownership of their own public key.

It is also higher due to having a poorer negotiating platform. When an employer threatens to have hundreds to thousands of workers switch coverage, it can decrease the price. When an individual threatens to switch, the result is a shrug. Scaling this up is a good reason to support a single-payer system.
What is the reason behind doctored numbers? I mean, I can understand during normal time - governments and politicians and bureaucrats like all the time to make themselves look good. But during a pandemic/emergency, lying is only going to backfire, no?

As described in the blog post, the rust compiler generates a state machine for every async function and generates the appropriate poll methods for the state transition.

No, Dr. Tedros works in the public health (not medical) field and his doctorate is in the subfield of public health most relevant to his particular job. His doctorate in the field is far more relevant than an M.D. would be.

> Many things were founded by Kissinger and other characters whom society might retroactively deem unsavory.

You should probably ask that in a post responding to someone raising Kissinger as relevant, not a random downthread post from that claim, but I, for one, certainly view anything connected to Kissinger with suspicion, not automatically wrong, but suspicious.

> Various figures like Hillary Clinton, Obama have consulted with him. Do you now consider them tained too?

Both because of and independently of the fact of their association with Kissinger, and not “now” as if it was news, yes, I consider Obama and, especially, Clinton tainted.

I have an iPhone X, a 13” Air, and two iPads, one a mini. I find I do most of my casual browsing - news and HN - on the X.

I switch to the Air for complex sites like Github, or when I want to save bookmarks.

I find that I rarely reach for the iPad for anything, even reading technical Kindles, although it’s fine for that, once I get started.

The iPhone is ever-present and fits comfortably in my hand.

I generally sit with my feet up, and my Air is more comfortable resting in my lap than holding an iPad.

And yet I keep eyeing the big iPad Pro and its pencil....

There is that possibility, and while I can understand the desire for a change of administration after all of this, I can't understand why socialists are so positively gleeful. The federal government (not just the administration, but the CDC and the FDA as well) have failed in every conceivable regard in this pandemic response (somehow after 3 global outbreaks including 2 respiratory diseases in recent years, the CDC couldn't be bothered to secure a supply of masks and ventilators, never mind the testing debacle) while private industry and state/local governments are picking up the slack (scaling up testing capacity, innovating on treatments and interventions, lobbying for aid, scaling up supply chains, etc). Maybe the media will take care to spin this as a "failure of capitalism" somehow, but as far as the truth is concerned, it doesn't strike me as favoring more government.

Just one person's declaration is enough to make me a 'scab'? No group functions that way. To use a dumb analogy, if I declare that HN is at war with Reddit, and you don't join in, that doesn't make you a 'traitor' to HN. A single member doesn't get to arbitrarily declare a high-stakes situation for an entire group just by saying so.

The question is, what are the actual norms that determine it, and are the current strikers meeting those norms, or have they simply gotten some media attention? By the way, I'm not saying their demands aren't reasonable.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read HN through lynx for this exact reason.
That really depends on your timelines and risk tolerance assessment including externalities.

From the Wikipedia page on demagogues (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue):

"Demagogues usually advocate immediate, forceful action to address a crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty. Once elected to high executive office, demagogues typically unravel constitutional limits on executive power and attempt to convert their democracy to dictatorship."

It's hard not to see the similarities here.
What if that's 25% of their workforce? What if it's 50%? Is it up to them to validate the veracity of the doctors' notes? Does Amazon pay full salaries for people who aren't going to work for 18 months? Does Amazon basically create an entirely privatized welfare system?

It just seems to be well outside the scope of things a business should be trying to solve and into the realm of what we have a government for.
This does not reflect reality. The employer must acquiesce in the full-time employee conducting private matters, such as making physician's appointments or checking in with one's child after school, over company owned equipment (phone/computer).

Up here in Canada one of our chains, SaveOn, has a self-hosted delivery service with a 10$ flat fee for delivery and no tipping allowed. I much prefer that and, if that fee isn't sufficient, I'd prefer them raising the flat fee rather than add any ridiculous tipping option.

And yet, they do. We as developers are so bad at building and maintaining abstractions that maybe we should just do away with most of them. I'm not convinced that layers upon layers of abstractions even help at all; K's approach of destroying abstractions is probably a better way to program. I think we've hit an inflection point in the last 10 or 20 years where the stack is so complex that absolutely no one can understand it. This is a natural consequence of abstraction: it never stops and is self-justifying. It's possible that we just need to stop creating "elegant" class hierarchies or free monad or whatever and just write some compact, blazing fast, and unabstracted code. k/q is interesting because it doesn't even really have the tools to create abstractions, so you're forced to actually solve the problem at hand from the get-go. And when you do solve said problem, you realize it's 10x shorter than the abstracted program, all fits on one screen, and is even easier to understand. Once you reach that point, you start to question whether current development practices are just cargo-culting.
How many workers are actually involved in this strike? The news and medium articles don't give any indication as to whether this is just a few dozen workers putting out a statement, or a larger group.
I'm not sure I can agree; semicolons can come in handy occasionally.
They should be paid for their work and for the risk they face, however that price is built into the market, and weighed against people who also need jobs right now. By artificially raising the wages for some, you would have to deny work altogether for others. You cannot employ everyone and also raise their wages (a thermodynamic impossibility).

As far as tipping goes, nurses are not tipped for their work. Nor are doctors. Tipping should not be part of the equation as it puts too much variability in the pay for these people. They should be paid based on the risk and the need for their work, not based on the whims of some people.
...an extra $5 and minimum 10% tip, not $5 per order.
There are no differences besides the fact that people often massively underreport cash tips.

We're talking about someone seriously increasing their likelihood for contracting a potentially life threatening illness. 5$ per potential exposure is not exactly that much considering the gravity of the situation.
The timing of this is interesting. Are they merely taking advantage of most places having a skeleton staff during the pandemic, or is it something worse like the thieves anticipating the museum will be destroyed by starving mobs soon so they’re stealing the things they like the most before it’s too late? Also, could the museum director have allowed it to happen for a price? His reaction seems strange.
Who is "them" and how are they pushing on the supply side? The supply is only increasing insofar as workers from other industries are able/willing to transition, and even for "menial" jobs such as these, there is surely a fair amount of training that must be done. Moreover, corporations will probably prefer to temporarily increase wages for their current workers rather than take on a glut of novice workers and then do layoffs or wait for attrition afterward, so the supply side seems limited in my view.
>>As far as I understood it, the commercially available ventilators are too complicated to ramp up production quickly.

Very true, but USA, China, EU, Russia, India etc have their militaries ready to go with Plan A, B and C, they don't order bullets once invaded.

We all knew that pandemics are part of life, so we should have had warehouses full of this stuff. USA is spending about $700 BILLION a year in military matters and untold trillions in Afghanistan and Iraq. So, at least USA does not need an open source one, we can afford to pay whatever price they sell it for. They neglected this and of course now it's too late. 100K ventilators at, say,$25K each = $2,500,000,000 unless I made a mistake. What's $2.5 Billion to USA?
Are the spam comments on Meetup free or do you have to pay extra for that?
As much as I hated WeWork owning them, it made perfect sense.

The problem with office space is that it's sitting idle much of the time. Hosting Meetups is a good way to keep it active for more hours of the day and into weekends. Yes, it takes staff and utilities to keep it open but it's great marketing to groups who may not know you exist otherwise.

This is not strictly true. Health insurance has always been available for purchase by individuals, and the ACA expanded access to this by providing income-based subsidies. When you lose your job, you lose access to your employer's subsidy and risk pool.

That doesn't change the fact that heath insurance and healthcare is expensive, it's just pointing out that the only way most people can afford to have it is because their employer is paying for most of it. If that cost was more transparent to salaried people, it might spur a more useful conversation about how to bring down the cost of healthcare.

The Road to Zig 1.0 – Andrew Kelley
That's kind of a false equivalency. The purpose of the government is to step in when the market fails, so of course it is going to do things that support businesses and individuals which would normally have failed. However that is not generally the purpose of businesses, they generally just pay whatever the market decides, so paying people more even when they don't have to would be deviating from this.
Defense Distributed’s 3D-printing gun files are back online
I think there's a misunderstanding here. "Strikebreakers" aren't people who beat up strikers to make them go back to work; they're people who are hired to replace the strikers after the strikers are fired en masse. (It's generally illegal to break strikes this way, the company must instead negotiate with the people striking.)

I agree it would be terrible to compel anyone to work through violence.

I've used a 12.9" iPad Pro as a laptop replacement since its release in 2018 and I'm happy about the particular series of yesses that have led to this latest OS release.

I've developed a number of workflows that would never work on a Macbook. For instance, I take handwritten notes with the device in my lap during a meeting, convert them to text, and add them to either project management software, or Roam (plug: https://roamresearch.com/).

The pencil is a total joy. I've taken up drawing and painting again and the more laptop-like the iPad becomes, the less I miss my old Macbook Air. In hindsight, it's the laptop form factor that makes less sense. When I need a full OS for some tasks, I use a desktop computer with commodity PC components.
