This paper still dances around the real issue.

Why has worker power decreased? Yes, we can say that capital owners capitalised on the fact that workers were willing to give up more. But why were they? Unions can explain some of it, but why did Unions go away? Why is it, when two workers sit in two rooms with two managers, one of them is willing to take less than the other?

Consumer credit is why. Because of consumer credit, the person who is able to and willing to overextend their financial position "wins", which is an awful race to the bottom.

The essential purpose of work is to provide a lifestyle. If you cannot achieve the lifestyle you want with your job, you will demand more money. Why work at all if you're just scraping by, and not able to enjoy any of life?

But, wait, here's a credit card. Now you can have that lifestyle you want, and you don't really _need_ to demand more from your employer. Or maybe you do, but you know the next guy has one too, and you know that he'll take less because he can, and maybe he's less financially intelligent than you are. So you feel like you have less bargaining power at the table.

Would unions help with this? Maybe. But lifestyle is what drives us at our core. If greed is a core component of demand, then we need to make it so that we can't quench greed with false financial mechanisms.
USD is a lot more liquid, in the financial sense, than literal oil. So maybe that's a reason to prefer it?
Part of pilot training in the old days in the Air Force was the pilot was blindfolded, and the instructor would call out a control's name, and the pilot had to put his hands on the control.

Or he wouldn't be rated to fly the airplane.

In an airliner, the critical controls are all uniquely shaped, so the pilot knows by the feel which is which.
Democracy is not an efficient way of running a business. Look at the multi-trillion dollar deficit as an example. Workers are incentivized to choose themselves over the health of the company or the customer.

Also, people overwhelmingly would rather exchange their stake in the company for the equivalent value in cash. It's only when the company's valuation skyrockets when they retroactively declare this to be unfair.

I would pay more than the cost of an IDA license to use Linux at home :) I can't imagine not being able to cut videos on the cli with ffmpeg, reading the kernel source to understand my system, having ownership of my system in general... Haven't used Windows in a while, I've used a lot of macOS but I can't get over the recent thing about checking executable hashes against Apple servers. I get why they do it, and you can disable it and so on, but it makes it clear the end user is not expected to fully control and own their system.

I have friends who do macOS or iOS dev (I don't know many win devs), and it's strange to hear them complain that Apple "won't let them" do something (distribute unsigned binaries, etc). It's my computer, I would never let someone prevent me from using it!
> In that case, think of a rapidly growing startup, which breaches that mark (50% or whatever the law says) - and now has to comply with the law.

> But the startup is not capable of compliance, because the law was made for behemoths like google.

If I were 'king of the world' I would consider something like this, but would not have it be a binary 'must comply or exempt' but a spectrum of ranges from 'totally exempt' to 'totally regulated' depending on what percentage of 50% you had.

If you have 5% of user emails, you are responsible for the bottom 10% of regulations and/or you need to fully comply with the regulations for a sample size of 10% of your users.

IDK I need to give it more thought, but first, another zoom meeting awaits.
Of course, all security is a trade off between convenience and privacy. But the hassle of a new profile all the time seems like a lot of extra inconvenience for little extra privacy.

So far in practice I've never seen the isolation fail. The combination of the two plugins seems to counteract each one's failures.

And Mozilla makes the multi-account-container plugin. I trust them a lot more than I trust Google to make Chrome not leak information across profiles.
It's looking more and more there is some wonkiness with the T2 chip as it's now responsible for USB, among many other things.

I don’t think anyone wants to maintain windows servers. I have probably 5 or so computers at
home, counting various NAS’es and raspberries and such. Most are Linux. All that have a screen however, are windows. A server I have to configure. It’s doing some kind of job.

My desktop I just want to plug hardware into and see it work, and run proprietary binaries without ever configuring anything.
It's like Lysander Spooner was onto something with his pamphlet "No Treason". State representatives mentioned in the brief are barely distinguishable from highway robbers. The swearing language, the lack of care for any legal basis for their actions, baseless physical attacks, like shooting harmless people with rubber bullets, the attitude, etc.
> Microsoft has the software support it does due to the monopoly position it has enjoyed for 30 years

Partially, but one must also give a huge amount of credit their efforts at maintaining binary compatibility of the userland for decades. This is something Linux Desktop fails at in spectacular fashion.
Exactly. You're not just hiring the individuals, you're hiring the established working relationships they have with each other.
> I was with you up until this ass-hattery.

Your dialog to that point came across as that of a Trump loyalist. I've learned that there's no point in engaging there, but it looks like you want to talk further, so here we go.

> Trump's main sin, besides being a member of the wrong party, is that he is the most transparent President in history. He has no qualms airing his dirty laundry and it drives people nuts.

Wow. I'll give this a try...

* Trump had 3 marriages and cheated in all of them (contrary to the "family values) the GOP espouses.

* Trump was involved with organized crime, including money laundering (and likely is to this date).

* Trump is a pathological liar

* Trump is a racist (actually ok in the GOP playbook)

* Trump is a failed businessman

* Trump is a sexist and sexual predator (he makes Bill Clinton look like a boy scout (which he most certainly is not))

* Trump is a fake Christian

* Trump is ill-informed, near illiterate, and unintelligent (but is effectively an idiot savant at playing the media like a fiddle).

* Trump didn't actually want to become president, it was a grift to start his own TrumpTV. He's still pursing that and will be shaping OAN into his personal platform.

I could go on and on, but you'll either deny or disregard these points.

To show you that I can acknowledge the failures from "my side", I'll posit that Hillary Clinton was certainly far from perfect:

* She wanted the office as a mark of achievement more than to serve the country

* She is a corporatist

* She is a war hawk

* She is the typical "finger in the wind" politician regarding her convictions.

She also had a literal industry devoted to demonizing her, but that's a different story.

I take in information based on its merit, not to bolster my ideology. I'm still waiting to hear one good thing about Trump. Your point about "transparency" is puzzling. He doesn't air his dirty laundry, he says wild shit that keeps the news cycle in turmoil.

Tell me about all of his dirty laundry that he has willingly aired, please.
I've moved from Macos to Ubuntu and love it (and not really that scary as I thought, everything worked. For those that are interested: Lenova X1 Carbon).

I really _want_ to like Windows 10. I like the direction it's moving with WSL2/VSCode remote connections, but man am I scared by all the zero-day exploits and all the windows 10 releases that screw up machines. I can't take it seriously.

I am hopeful that MSFT can do something with Windows 10X containers that get rid of these security risks.
Definitely in our plans
> It seems that the urban cores with the most problems are under complete control by a combination of democratic politicians or democratic socialists. In many cases, they control the county and state of the cities with the most problems.

There are not a ton of big cities that lean conservative, so of course any problem occur in cities, they will occur in liberal cities--that is just the distribution of city politics. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/08/08/chart-of-th...

With that in mind, I don't see any evidence that the conservative big cities are immune to problems with police brutality. I mean, type "Mesa AZ police brutality", or "Oklahoma City police brutality", etc, and it seems like the problem is endemic in all cities.

You can't do physical harm with encryption (unless you want to count superficial burns acquired from touching a Bitcoin-mining GPU), though. The presence of guns is a necessary and pretty much sufficient condition for certain classes of physical harm, which in the eyes of many _does_ make or qualitatively different.
Is there a plan for (at least self hosted) SFUs for firewall transversal? I imagine in some corporate environments that'll be necessary.
TrueNAS isn’t abandoning BSD–but it is adopting Linux
Certainly, federal intervention made a lot of sense during the Jim crow/segregation/civil rights era where state and local governments deliberately defied federal law.

Here, this is not happening. The local governments that harbor bad police want police reform. I believe they have plenty of power to do that.
Yes, we should end fragmentation and force all citizens to live in the one true city, which is Munich.
> A self-installing Snap Store which overwrites part of our APT package base is a complete NO NO.

That is one more reason to use AppImage instead of Snap (and probably Flatpak) under Linux.
I agree, however liability should go much further than just civil damages, and should enter the territory of criminal fraud and trademark infringement.

If I impersonated Disney online and used their trademarks on my website, the FBI would raid my home, I'd be in prison and courts would bar me from ever touching a computer again.

Restaurants should be able to call the cops and report fraud, have it investigated and stopped, and have their cases passed on to federal authorities if necessary. This doesn't happen.
See below. They now decided to switch back to Linux again!

Too bad there are dozens of different incompatible text-based formats for everything... oh and that they completely lack discoverability.

US/UK are functioning democracies with an independent judiciary and media. That gives them strong checks and balances over impacts to citizen's human rights and free speech.

Also neither country has millions of people (Uyghurs) being held in camps and subject to cultural genocide and systemic rape and abuse.
> Since older firms, tend to be larger, slower growing, and less competitive, it's not wonder we've seen an increase in monopolization.

This is self-contradictory.
Unless Google associates your anonymous browsing data from incognito mode, with your regular browsing data from regular mode, I don't see a case here. And I really doubt they do that, it would be such a clear and egregious violation of the reasonable expectation of privacy.

The other possible complaint could be that websites still can collect information on user behavior on the website, even if it is more anonymous in incognito mode. This is expressly what incognito mode says on the tin. You can use it to avoid saving your weird porn history locally, but not prevent websites from knowing what anonymous visitors are doing on their website. If the average consumer isn't tech-savvy enough to get this distinction, I'm not sure what Google could do besides putting this explicit warning in every new tab.

Summary: seems like this case will go nowhere, but still makes for soundbitey headlines and gives people an excuse to rehash their usual gripes that "my data is the next oil"

(IIUC, most ad targeting is still based on you explicitly searching for something you want to buy and ads matching those keywords, or retargeting from a website you've already visited but abandoned your shopping cart at, not some all-knowing profile of your deepest wants and desires).

Disclaimer: I work at Google but nowhere near the Analytics or Ads teams.
Good tip! I don't use sync so I didn't know about this one.
That depends on how you define integrity.

If we cut the hash rate tenfold, which is definitely significant, you'd still need to find someone who has hundreds of thousands of dollars of motivation to perform an attack. Having that motivation is hard when it takes a huge amount of double spending all at once, the attack will damage the integrity of the coin, and clients can be modified to be highly resistant to it.
I didn't say a good journalist, I said a prominent one. My measure of "good" journalists would be people who only commented on the science behind this stuff, and didn't offer their usually useless take.
I didn't like W and don't like Trump but you can't draw meaningful conclusions from the popular vote in an election that's not decided by popular vote, because knowledge of that fact affects campaigning and voter turnout in various ways. There's no meaningful "winning" of such a vote, in terms of popular vote. It's truly trivia.
It's close to zero over short distances (ignoring solar wind and LEO atmosphere), although you're still trying to dock with a moving target.

If you've played KSP or read about Gemini 4, the relative motion can be unintuitive due to orbital mechanics. The SpaceX docking simulator puts you right next to the ISS with low relative velocity -- as it would be in real life if everything went as planned -- but it would be much more challenging if you needed to do it manually from a greater distance and relative velocity.
"Rewarding Career Progression"

> As a result, Elixir developers have the opportunity to work for wide spectrum of companies such as PepsiCo, Pinterest, Lonely Planet or MBTA.

Sorry but, it's not clear how listing a few "tech" companies indicates a "rewarding career progression"? Can anyone elaborate?

Maybe it has negative connotations for you. But, I think it was an appropriate use of the word as many aspects of LGBT culture have worked their way into popular culture and are now considered cool (regardless of one’s sexual preferences).
Arnold took a political beating from both sides when he failed to accumulate the capital to push any of his ideas through, and the experience appears to have left the governor with no enthusiasm to continue.

Another simple way to fix this if you have something like TWRP installed, is to go into data/system/users/0/

Let's look at this mathematically. If the average person changes jobs every four to five years, and spends two-three weeks unemployed doing so, as they already have a plan for their next job, you would expect a job-related unemployement rate of around 1% due to job changes.
Not if you consider that older larger firms can use their position to artificially suppress competition.
Pffff... Beats me to be fair. I consider myself a centrist as far as ideology goes, slightly leaning towards the right. In eastern Europe, the left-wing supporters are largely the elderly. You are very unlikely to find young people supporting the idea, even less so among those who have had experience with it. The support for the left and socialism in these regions then is simply a reflection of what the USSR model was, whether it's blind and fanatical ideology, nostalgia or what is effectively brainwashing (the evil west spies killing babies and all the other conspiracy theories). Truth be told they are incredibly similar to Alex Jones and his views, the only difference I see is the packaging. Looking at the socialists in central and western Europe, as well as across the ocean, I have a hard time figuring out what it is they are aiming for or support. Which is not to say that I don't think that people like Trump or Bojo are not morons. They absolutely are and this is what actually worries me - superpowers that end up choosing between those two options. That terrifies me.
You generally wouldn't want to catch any random exception you don't specifically know you should or need to catch, as that way lies the madness of working with corrupted data. Usually you'd have a toplevel handler as a final line of defense, but of course that doesn't help if the software automatically restore the state which makes it crash, then you just get a crash loop.
> Mr. Raymond explains he is not actually a drunk, he only pretends to be one so that the ⸢respectable⸣ people will write him off, stay off his back about his black spouse and kids, and leave him alone. If they think it's because he's an alcoholic they can fit it into their worldview and let it go, which they wouldn't do if they suspected the truth, which is that it's his choice.

Rick: Y'see, Morty? It's just like I always said: there's an upside to being a drunk. It means people leave you alone, and they won't bother you with their stupid opinions on whatever it is you're doing that they know nothing about.

Morty: Uh, gee, Rick, I don't think that justifies annihilating universe G-435 on a bender...

Rick: Shut up Morty. That was a calculated risk. Pburpeople who don't take risks are like Galvani's frog legs: twitching, but not really alive.
Want data behind that statement. From what I've seen it is the other way around.

Though I do not have significant data myself.

I did a transition for a company back around 2003. Total cost of transition was a net saving already in the first year. Including training, my work, minor new hardware, etc. A couple of their guys learned the systems maintenance enough to take over my work, so I made myself redundant. Just like it should be.
> so needing to coordinate hands and eyes is clearly not that big a problem for the Dragon

Two things. During ascent the g load on the passengers is steadily increasing. By the time you're 6:30 into the burn, you'll be experiencing about 2.5g, and just before MECO at about 8:15 into the burn you're close to 3.2g. I'm not sure using a touch screen in a high-g environment is a good idea.

Second thing, right after MECO you're suddenly very close to 0-g. Which is a fun ride to be sure, but _everything else_ in the cabin is suddenly weightless as well. Items have a tendancy to start floating around the cabin and knocking into things.

> There's not that much for the astronauts to do in Dragon though, so it's probably all OK.

When everything is going according to plan.. there isn't much to do. This isn't the scope you want to design for, though.

China does have that freedom. The difference is, Tim Cook didn't sign any export control documents, and as of current, they don't exist. In the US the export control documents do exist, Huawei was a signatory as part of parting in the American Economy & Commercial sector. So this analogy doesn't make sense.

Just as China doesn't allow Western products in their markets without a substantial consideration to China, usually in the form of joint partnerships with domestic companies vs direct sales. That's their right, the western companies wishing to engage in the market often times will find out their cost / benefit and act accordingly. All of the companies are held and managed under Chinese law and as such many have had things stripped from them.
What's the problem with duplicating effort?
The two parties forming the government of Hamburg made an agreement. Its here: https://www.spd-hamburg.de/fileadmin-hamburg/user_upload/Koa... The relevant section is on page 161.
Most relevant is:
- base new software project on open protocols
- "Design award procedures in such a way that we maintain and expand a broad mix of manufacturers and suppliers - for this purpose, award procedures are designed in such a way that all cooperation and business models (e.g. provider communities of startups, open source offers and license models) be treated equally."
- "In the new parliamentary term, the Hamburg citizenship has decided to introduce a cloud-based system - Phoenix - based on the model of Schleswig-Holstein via Dataport for all members of the parliament and employees."

Dataport is a sort of state owned software company for Hamburg and some other northern states. This appears to be the product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpl0Xds1NMU

I couldn't find any open repos on the dataport website. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. But that doesn't look like the big Open Source revolution to me.
I'm not sure what all of this has to do with the touch screen conversation, but I feel you. It will all be solved with software updates eventually if enough people send formal complaints.

It looks like the Minneapolis City Council is up for election next year? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_City_Council)

If everyone hasn't forgotten all about this by that time, you could make police reform a major election issue. And then hold them to it.

But, odds are, everyone will have forgotten by then.

>you're telling me about what "majority prefers". So back this up.

Do you see dedicated single-purpose barebones MP3 players having a high demand? Or do people just use their smartphones for that purpose? When you walk into a room and ask people if they would find an MP3 player device useful and would like to get one, what answer do you expect to hear?

Also, try asking the same question from people about smartphones vs. single-purpose cellphones. Yes, there is obviously a niche of people who want to "disconnect" and not have to deal with smartphones. But they are in a tiny minority.

While market isn't a perfect representation of what people want, it is a great proxy, in a lot of cases. And for this situation specifically, it looks like the market has clearly expressed what consumers want.
I don't think an anecdotal experience with the Yoga line is compatible with the claim that "if you want to buy a Linux laptop, avoid Lenovo like the plague."

I've had great experiences with my Thinkpads (t410s and t530) running Linux. Granted, I was just running Ubuntu, but I never had an issue. I will note that I disabled the fingerprint sensor, camera, and microphone at the BIOS level so didn't have experience dealing with those drivers. I expect most others will have a fine experience with the non-touchscreen Thinkpads, and probably some of the newer models as well.
How do you know that it is a poor track record if you do not know how it is ranked against others?
They can. As in, it is a possibility contemplated, and almost never implemented.
