A vote on formation of a union does not mean employees are forced to join it. A union also doesn't mean anything if there isn't an agreement with the employer. A union also doesn't mean anything if it's members are not going to withhold their services if they don't come to an agreement that is deemed acceptable by it's members.

Unions are also about leveraging power. While someone can try to start a union with any number of people, how much they can actually negotiate is going to hinge a lot on that number. Is 55% of the workforce enough to have significant leverage? I don't know and it depends on what the union wants. Would the union be able to reach an agreement with the employer that would force the others to join the union? That would seem like quite a stretch to me.
This is the comment that has a car behind it.

Monty’s knowledge is irrelevant. The original problem can be modified with no change in probabilities to:

Pick one of three doors. You can have whatever is behind that door, or you can change your pick to both of the other doors and win whatever is behind both of them. Should you switch? Obviously.
You can already modify and sell GPL licensed software. You only need to provide the modified source, and the same freedoms.
While this appears true when looking at a single device class, I could argue that it's not true when looking at computing in general.

The current iPhone X consumes more power than an iPhone 6. However, my dominant 2020 computer (phone) consumes less power than my dominant 2010 computer (laptop) which consumes less power than my 2000 computer (desktop).
I noticed in the first video at 13:00 he says their team has former employees from other places like SpaceX, NASA, Amazon, and one other I cant remember, but the image shown has logos from those companies and Boeing. Had to wonder if not saying Boeing was deliberate given the problems they've been having.

You are literally describing a PR department
> That's an interesting take, because I don't see Rust as being more abstracted in this way than C++ is. Obviously it's more abstracted than C, but by the time you get to "modern" C++ you're programming in a much higher-level language than C.

I agree, but C++ doesn't force you to write good, modern code, and so in lecture, we are better able to show examples of bad code that well-intentioned people might write and discuss the consequences. Also, you can't directly make syscalls in Rust without using "unsafe" or a library, and it's harder for students to see how programs interact with the kernel when that extra stuff is in the way.

I'm checking out Firecracker right now, and it looks like a really neat project! I'd love to talk more about virtualization in the class, especially since I feel that our current curriculum doesn't spend as much time preparing students for the modern cloud computing architectures they are bound to work with. Curious: can you think of any safety issues you've encountered in Rust or bizarre bugs that Rust's type system didn't save you from? Those often make great lecture examples, and while we always remind students that Rust is not a panacea, I don't think we had any good concrete examples.
What to Learn
Hi everyone,
well I'm new here actually this is my first discussion so this is my request, in this moment I know how important technology is, I'm not a genius tech in fact I'm just lets say "rookie" so let me ask you somtehing for someone like me how I get involved in this tech world knowing my background.

PS: I have a career totally opposite of tech world nevertheless I'd like to learn new things.
thanks

I'd rather get the kinks out upfront whereas owning an aging bmw (or most german cars really), you get hammered on maintenance and unexpected repairs.
I went through 3 before getting one that seems to have fixed the issue.
> there is a good chance we won't know the result of this elect on election night (or possibly within the first week)

That's by design.[0]

The goal is to have the media and protests decide who wins the election if Trump appears to win on Nov 3rd, using the same playbook currently being run in Belarus as we speak (and that was run successfully in 2014 in Ukraine).

Why? It works: we can't have another 4 years of Donald Trump. If it looks like he might win, we can attack the legitimacy of the vote and install Biden instead.

Of course, if Biden wins in a landslide on Nov 3rd (which seems increasingly likely), then the legitimate media will announce him as the winner immediately, and none of this will be necessary. Better safe than sorry though…

> keep campaigns from drumming up any kind of fear about the election results

The goal is to keep Trump from doing this, while legitimate media promotes Biden unopposed (regardless of the vote totals). I also will not be surprised if Trump is suspended from Twitter immediately after the election, and any "this election was rigged!" content from Trump's people on YouTube to also be banned.

I spent a decade homeless in appalachia and the general midwest for a decade, and another largely below the poverty line. I'm fine with citing my life and the lives of everyone I knew for the amount of political agency that was present in our lives.

I would not describe that period of my life as having more "free time" but I can understand how that may look the case.

I agree with you in spirit in some ways here and I do not believe in absolution of responsibility. Material conditions, however, often skew the will in ways rather extreme, possibility is not probability and it's a fool that eats shit after watching 20 people take a bite of a cake and realize it's shit.
Yup. And Eddie was, at least back then, surprisingly shy in a one-on-one setting.

Everybody always brings that up. I don't love it, but yes I do, and I trust Apple more than I trust Tesla.

They somewhat work, and it's not clear for how long. If it goes a year without being able to connect, is it fine with that? Or will it stop working until it's able to update?

I wish more work was happening in this sphere. I know I would easily pay $50k+ for even a 50/50 chance to cure my tinnitus. Its a horrible feeling to never be able to quiet your mind.
The issue is that in engineering there are certain patterns of implementation that are simply converged on.

Upholding the API copyright would be like giving Craftsman grounds to sue Ryobi for manufacturing circular saws because Ryobi combined a power cord, an electrical motor, a toothed circular blade and a housing; a state of affairs that only seems even remotely plausible to endorse because source code is inherently a read product.

You look at it and see an authored work. I look at it and I see an n-dimensional turing-space relationship diagram as expressed through transform functions.

And last I checked, you could patent some math(RSA), but not not copyright it. Eventually it's just prior art.
I have it intermittently, back of the head drumming resolves it for me for a few hours at least until it goes away on its own for me.
Interesting, now I know what causes my tinitus
I had my quarter-life crisis at around the same age, but almost the inverse of what you describe. I spent my 20s coasting through undergrad and coasting through my job (read: not caring much about it). I was primarily focused on friendships, dating, and just generally having a lot of fun. Then I hit my late 20s, and after numerous flings and half-serious relationships, I got into a relationship with someone who totally shifted my perspective. I suddenly became extremely ambitious and focused on my career, and stopped the partying and fun-seeking completely. Now I'm chasing the start-up dream and what I feel like most of my peers were focusing on in their 20s.
It sounds like the original analogy is apt, and your followup analogy isn't.

All systems have the potential for corruption.

A representational "democracy", compared to other systems, has the least potential for corruption.

If unions do in fact give workers more representation/power, than game theory says it is a worthwhile trade off, as we expect average worker gains to be net positive of any corruption losses.
There are a lot more books sold on speculative fiction than real astronomical insights. Clearly, such speculation serves a purpose and must therefore be considered useful.

it's not really true that ultra long range direct flights (eg. from sfo to sin) are more efficient.

Because the game repeatedly seeks data from the outside of the disk, and the inside of the disk. Reading the innermost ring takes a mcuh slower speed than the outermost ring, so these speed changes are what you're hearing.

First caveat: If he shows you a door with a car, there is literally no point switching. There's a goat behind both doors you're allowed to choose from, which are the remaining two.

(Below I use non-chosen to mean non-chosen by the contestants initial choice.)

Second point: If we are in the subset of all possible histories where Monty picked randomly revealed a goat, then we will have 50% of histories where both non-chosen doors contain 1 goat selected by our history subset, and 100% of histories where both non-chosen doors contain 2 goats selected by our history subset.

Since there are twice as many possible histories where the non-chosen doors contains 1 goat vs 2 goats, after selection, we have an equal number of histories in our sample where we have 1 goat or 2 goats behind the non-chosen doors. Or equivalently, we have a 50% chance that the non-chosen doors contain a car.

Therefore it is irrelevant whether you switch.

Monty needs to make an intelligent selection to change the game.
Haha, quite so, quite so. Having been raised an atheist, my memories of my Catholic School recitations are imperfect but you are clearly correct.

The modern day / ancient day distinction is akin to the difference between the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and The Kingdom of God: it is obvious to adherents and invisible to those without.

Creating distinctions temporally does me no benefit. What has been can be once again. What was done to my great-grandparents can be done to me. The entities that did these things can revert to their atavistic forms. Except, except, except if they fix their forms forward. Something I will gladly accept.

This is scientism, word-thinking and a false dichotomy.
A motorcycle is not a "1/3 scale version" of a car, but it is "1/3 the scale" of a car (assuming a car is roughly 3 times larger). Scale is not just used in engineering. For example a zoo might have a scale comparison of different animals.

For what it's worth, I have an almost identical experience. Build quality is not good, and every service-center visit leaves you feeling like they are stuffing the service centers with way more issues than the people there can handle. Even with all this, the drive feel of my MS is insane and the screen/app are lightyears ahead. I honestly enjoy driving again, even pre-pandemic with crazy traffic. Their offering is so good it outweighs the crappy support.
If some other car company would step up to the plate and try to complete with similar tech but offering higher reliability, I would go for a test drive immediately.

Side-note: service at Tesla used to be golden. When they first started, they all knew they were pricy cars and everyone expected some growing pains leading to QC issues. It was great - they would loan you a top-model performance tesla while your car was in the shop (great up-sell!!!), they were doing far more of their "mobile service" (super handy, they drive to you and fix the car where you are), and you would get one agent that called you almost daily with an update.

As they have expanded more towards mass market they have gone the way of google - trying to automate humans out of the loop. It's basically a miracle to talk to a human at a service center now, everything is "schedule it in-app where you get 200 characters to explain your issue, we send over an estimate, you can't call to discuss it either approve or don't, drop your car, use our SMS platform for 100% of communications because email might "violate your privacy" (read: leave a data trail), handle the fact that different agents get your SMS at different times and some have no idea what the history is, handle that agents now "have to reply to all messages before they leave" and you're getting hurried "here's my panicked update" messages at 11:30 at night.

I personally feel they missed an opportunity to offer "luxury service lanes" for folks buying the luxury line when they went mass market.
This is the idea behind Intels review bans. Get the first videos of their chips without any AMD comparisons which means for the entire life of the chip those first reviews will still be the top of the search results.
It's really the packet loss and TCP backoff that's a killer.
LA-Sydney would become as doable as Chicago-London, and one of these trips today is much, much easier than the other.

The target per cost is equivalent to today's business class. Some people might jump at that. And we have no idea what a non-premium Boom cabin might look like.
The "convert to binary" is a standard algorithm for modular exponentiation. Anyone who has taken a cryptography course will know it.

It's not the fastest algorithm (by big-O; probably is in practice), though. You can do a matrix decomposition, exponentiate the eigenvalues, and convert back. Speed will depend on how you do the exponentiation, and that's gets into a pile of optimized numerical methods.
In a world with variable ping times and packet loss that is a bold lie.
Gaming the system could be a problem but I think an equilibrium can be reached where the payoff is attractive but won't cause huge problems. If the boars are as destructive and dangerous as stated, it seems like a poor payoff to take a risk and corral them compared to more traditional farming/ranching.

I'm guessing a real blocker is tax funding as you say. It is a little odd since solving this seems like it should be appealing to a wide range of people on the political spectrum for various reasons.
Agreed. If they wanted HN conversions the title would be 'Lessons learned from onboarding emails written in Rust'
DDG is using a very old version of Google’s business model: they serve ads based on your search string. That’s it. No search history mining. No email reading. No broadly deployed analytics snippets and browser logins to reconstruct your whole browsing history.

I’m already sending my search query to DDG for them to give me search results. They don’t ask for any additional data. They just allow advertisers to bid on the first few results for a particular topic.

I’m ok with that.
The model 3 is among the best driving cars. It accelerates very fast, is incredibly heavy and so sticks to the ground, and they provide smooth power across all speed ranges, due to torque being provided directly at the wheels and the lack of a gear box.

Tesla cars also have far more trunk space and highest in class safety ratings. They also have an 'appealing' design which includes the titular panoramic roof.

Now the car is unpolished across the board. Be that manufacturing, interior materials or general care for UX. But those things matter far more to enthusiasts. Your average family owner cares more about all of Tesla's positives.

If Tesla can provide good customer service and aftermarket support, (which it has historically been terrible at) then I can see the other shortcomings not being deal breakers at all.

Now my dream car will stay the Mazda 3 2021. But, I am a certain type of weird.
You're still stuck with TCP and its backoff algorithm in that case though.
If ECC is supposed to be a security measure then I can see the point, but aside from intentional flipping (by an attacker), a blanket statement like "it clearly isn't [an edge case] anymore" doesn't strike me as true. For it being a security measure, though, shouldn't it compute a much stronger checksum than one or two bits like ECC usually does?
Wow this is cool. My partner is Chinese too.
That's a fun factoid to know. Thanks
But... it does matter how he opened a goat door. Specifically, whether there was a chance that he might not have.

I originally thought it couldn't matter. I wrote a simulation to demonstrate how right I was. I was wrong. I encourage duplicating the experience.
I feel like this is a good time and place to bring up an idea that I sometimes like to entertain. It goes like this:

There is some number of dimensions that exist in total, which is a number higher than just the four dimensions that we are readily able to observe. Our universe exists within this higher dimension, alongside other universes.

Also, what we perceive as linear time within our universe might not be just a single dimension either. But even if it's not we can still treat it as though it was.

The laws that apply within each of these four dimensional universes as we might see them might or might not all be the same laws. I.e. all other universes might have the same laws as does ours, or some might be different, or all might be different. We can't know.

But the idea that I like to entertain is that these universes could serve some function within the higher dimensions.

For example, a set of many many parallel universes might each function analogously within the higher dimensions as to how cells function in our universe, and that analogously these parallel universes form a greater whole together as some sort of being that is made up of all of these.

Or another possibility might be that a universe could be able to develop within itself life that is able to sense the higher dimensions, and to break free of the universe within which it was created and to then continue existing in the higher dimensions beyond the end of the universe that created it. I imagine this not as human with more senses, but something very different. For example, the way it might come into existence in our universe could be through machinery that we create, with mechanical sensors that are able to pick up the other dimension(s), and with increased computational power the machines we create could in turn process all of the information available to it in order to construct something that somehow (yes, very vague sorry) is not limited by the reality of our universe itself.

But yeah, there is no scientific basis for said ideas. It's just something that I like to imagine.
None. And I am happy to belong to many who have changed. But I accept each one with care. As you can see.

I fully support anyone who wants to form a militia. I don't care if it's a black power militia or a protrump one. Liberty or death.
For sure. For Adobe products I would be all Windows/Mac.
I think there's a large volume of tools that can be built that will make things much more discoverable as we go along this route. Things like the gRPC reflection, health checks, etc can all be instrumented in tooling with no guess work as to how to directly talk to any API that implements it. No guessing if it's `GET /healthz` or `GET /healthcheck` etc.

There's a lot of magic you can do with protos. At my current company we're even generating forms/UIs entirely off of proto message definitions for things like configs. Engineers no longer need to think about how to make something work cross language, manually wiring up a UI, etc.

I cant wait to see what doors this opens up for gRPC on the browser as that will bring many more OSS devs into the ecosystem.
> This is a case about Google's intention for copying the Java API.

Not centrally. The copyrightability issue is absolutely not about Google’s intentions (and if Oracle loses that, it's game over), and Google’s intentions are relevant to one half of one of four fair use factors (the “purpose and character of use” factor) which are weighed together (it's not a pass-fail each factor test) in the fair use portion.
They still have plenty of room to talk about guides for fixing things and the repairability score
> It's not useful to speculate about things that are unfalsifiable.

I disagree. While such speculation obviously won't produce immediately useful data, where would we be today if noone had ever speculated about something which at the time could not be falsified? Case in point: the initial speculation on the existence of germs, which at the time was unfalsifiable.

(Edit: adding refs)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease

From the arcticle: "By the early nineteenth century, smallpox vaccination was commonplace in Europe, though doctors were unaware of how it worked or how to extend the principle to other diseases."

So doctors were saving lives even though they had no idea exactly how or why it worked. They could neither prove nor disprove why it seemed to work, it simply did. The fact that it was unfalsifiable had nothing to do with the truth of the matter - it still saved lives.
