For 2/3 of low-wage workers to have been affected by wage theft, either most low-wage workers are overwhelming employeed by a small number of companies (which if true is also concerning - but not bourne out by the numbers in the EPI report), or most companies are stealing from at least some workers. That's obscene.

The converse is not true. For most stores to have been affected by employee shoplifting only requires a tiny minority of employees - one per store! - to shoplift.

There is also an equilibrium; in the general case employees can't shoplift more than the equivalent security measure to prevent the shoplifting would cost. The equivalent limit to stolen wages is considerably more harrowing: the workers' mental and physical health.

Collectively this means shoplifting can be addressed by fairly typical business measures - additional security, hiring practices, lawsuits against individuals, etc. The infrastructure for all that is already in place, because capital already put it in place to protect itself and because shoplifting is not the norm. But wage theft requires radical or systemic change to ensure employees have the ability to punish all employers, because capital has again put measure in place to protect itself, and wage theft is the norm.

Finally, there is the issue of what you're measuring. Assuming shoplifting and employer theft from low-wage workers occur at the same rate for the same percentage, shoplifting would still dominate because it's much closer to a percentage of total revenue. Obviously total revenue is higher than a fraction of wages!

So how, exactly, is that comparison more meaningful?
What is the point of wearing the mask below the nose? I find that the only reason to not wear a mask is discomfort from heat and sweat. Wearing a mask, but wrong, doesn't help that.

As for my personal set of rules: if I can distance 12 feet I don't wear one. If I am frequently passing people (on sidewalks or trails) I keep it on. If it is fairly empty and I pass someone every once in a while, I keep the mask in my hand and breath through it when I pass someone.

Good for you. Fortunately where I live mask wearing is not a political statement and therefore people use common sense and their brain to evaluate when and where to wear a mask and everything is very relaxed and fluid. When mask wearing becomes a political symbol then all logic is out of the window and you get crazy mental ideologists on both sides destroying it for everyone. We should make a list of all those people on both sides and maybe one day that list might become useful lol.

Rarely used feature that I quite like is defining function types.

typedef bool foo_fn(int, char);

This declares a type of a function.

foo_fn foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4;

This declares 4 functions of the same type. It's equivalent to

bool foo1(int, char);
bool foo2(int, char);
bool foo3(int, char);
bool foo4(int, char);

Unfortunately the type can not be used at function definition but that is not where function are interesting. They are neat for function pointers especially those that require casting.

void function_taking_foo(int, foo_fn *);

function_taking_foo(1, foo1); // no cast necessary as type is identical and even

instead of

function_taking_foo(1, (bool(*)(int,char))foo1);

When you have a lot function pointers it is incredibly more readable than the usual syntax.

Apparently the Facebook story is not the content that was intended to be shared, but rather a story linked in a tweet that is linked in the tweet that was shared, below the Facebook story that was linked:

This appears to be an article from 1999, and does not talk about the more recent migrations between instruction sets.
This page has a specific example: https://www.economicsdiscussion.net/differences-between/diff...

Keep in mind that their example chose a very gentle substitution (apples and oranges) while my example chose a very extreme substitution (housing and clean water for tents and unfiltered water). A nontrivial amount of your opinion-formation should include deciding where typical substitutions (e.g. moving back in with parents) actually lie on that scale. Of course, this choice is peanuts compared to the choice of whether or not you lump high income earners in with low income earners. Hence my focus on the Elysium test.

How do you define "employees stealing time from the employer"?

It seems to me the only way to "steal time" from the employer would be if you literally had someone else clock in for you when you weren't there or lied on your time card, both of which generally get the offender fired and are small-scale issues. Once someone has clocked in, it seems impossible to "steal time" from the employer -- the employer is paying for the employee's presence, so it's all just shades from slacking to working hard.
> Guix started as a fork of Nix

This is repeated often but it is an unfortunate misunderstanding. One self-contained component of Nix was used unaltered in Guix: the nix-daemon. Everything else but the daemon (and that's a lot) is a completely independent implementation of the same principles that were first demonstrated in Nix: functional package management.

Why reuse the daemon? Because it could be done. The daemon takes very low level build instructions ("derivations") and arranges for them to be executed in an isolated environment. In Guix derivations are generated through compilation of higher level concepts that as such have no correspondence in Nix.

The common ground is the format of the derivation, which has only been modified occasionally to better suit our differing needs.
This is certainly a problem. As farms become larger and cost of operating machinery gets higher, for some crops/grains, using herbicides as dessicants is becoming the norm.

Glyphosate is used during pre harvest for dessication than as a herbicide. And it’s approved. Canadians have just started cracking down on this so organic standards are maintained. This is a whole another can of worms(also drift) due to massive increase in scale and size of farming because we just have too many mouths to feed.

For most of my adult life, I worked hourly jobs in low pay positions and "wage theft" always meant me, the employee, stealing from the company by not working every single second I was there. Interesting to see it defined the other way, "employers’ failure to pay workers money they are legally entitled to".
> but it could refer to a larger or smaller amount of memory.

Never smaller as the minimum limits for char require at least 8 bits. But definitely can be wider than 8 bits, as is common on DSPs or some old mainframes. Though, even on systems that don't permit direct addressing of 8-bit char, C implementations will sometimes emulate it.

FWIW, POSIX mandates a fixed, 8-bit char.

Yeah it is definitely about context. I live in a suburban area. For most of my bike rides I can bike in the street and get 12+ ft if distance. But every once in a while I have to go in a bike lane or on the sidewalk and then I wear my mask.

I know the chances of transmission between me riding my bike and a pedestrian are low, but it feels easy to be cautious.

Most (software) engineers are aware of commonly used data structures such as Arrays, Linked Lists, HashMaps, Binary Search Trees, Min/MaxHeaps etc.

However, I've recently learned about "lesser known" data structures like van Emde Boas Trees and Radix Trees.

This made me wonder about how many cool (and somewhat useful) data structures are out there that are not very well known.

Three lessons from writing a mod in a week
The problem is when you pass other people on the trail and it's not possible to maintain a proper physical distance in passing.

Also, people seem to think the virus magically stops at an invisible 6 foot distance whereas in reality you need much more if you're breathing and running where you leave a much bigger trail of aerosolized particles as you run, and there's also wind carrying your breath much further than in a still situation.

I do take mask off for hikes when nobody is in sight but I always put it on when I see people are about to pass. What's annoying is people who don't put their mask on to pass you and don't stop and wait for both sides to have mask on before passing. I've been forced multiple times to abruptly stop and backtrack my steps to maintain distance while fiddling my mask on because the other person kept pressing forward impatiently.

Mask is mandatory outdoors all the time in the big cities in France. Sometimes I think it’s just the government taking revenge for when we mocked them for not being able to procure masks — having destroyed their stock of 1 billion masks a year before the pandemic. “You want mask? Ok, wear them now. Who feels stupid now?”

Depends what you call smart behaviour I suppose. For the vast majority of projects though I'd assume the following to be smart behaviour:

- Is it fast (enough)

- Is it the simplest way to achieve those levels of robustness and speed

If the answer to the first 2 is largely "yes" and the 3rd is "no" then I'd call it a bad hack. OTOH if the answer to 3 is also "yes" then it's a good hack. If the answer to 1 or 2 is "no" then it's not ready to ship.

In either case a comment saying "this is the simple/safe way, performance opportunity via..." Or "this is the complicated way because <reasons complicated way was needed, usually perf> and it this is why it works..." is good to leave in case performance requirements ever change or someone is trying to figure out why you went the way you did.

QE. All the low risk high quality debt is effectively cleared by governments in order to 'stimulate' the economy. Well, after enough years of pumping enough stimulus in, the economy starts to look like someone on a perma-high who can't come down. That's what we're seeing here: totally irrational behaviour caused by an apparently endless supply of free money. Track it back far enough and you end up at the central bank.
So what are you saying? Did you mean to say the tone of the article should reflect that it's totally ok that intel obscure the truth with dishonest representations?

It’s really telling about what American society values that wage theft perpetrated by the owning class is rarely prosecuted and is considered a civil matter, while non-violent offenses including petty theft and drug possession perpetrated by the labor class (which cause orders of magnitude less fiscal harm) make up something like 90% of all arrests in the US.
Existing exploits aside, controlling network access for your devices is a form of control too.

> Part of a protection racket is staging attacks when you think you're not going to get paid

Are you implying this has happened or does happen? Please cite your source if so.

> Just because it's a protection racket doesn't mean that it needs to at all times 100% conform to a sentence that you found on wikipedia.

No but going off an existing definition is better than throwing around a concept with any real connection to reality.

> The core of a racket is to respond with disproportionate violence. For example, sending your army to harass the entire country that some of your attackers were part of.

What does that have to do with CIA?

> Drone strikes on schools that are known to be full of children.

So a drone strike on country B is payback for them not ponying up protection money to the intel agency of country A. Did I get that right?

That is nonsensical.

Things aren't black and white. Supporting an enemy of the state is quite a bit different from doing business with a legitimate arm of the government, or choosing to support or not the current social issue. You may disagree with policies, and many people will disagree with many policies. But there is a channel for that doesn't require said policies to permeate every aspect of life.

What's the end state of companies being political? There is a huge number of issues at play at any given time. Do companies have to take a stance for every single one of them? Then can companies only appeal to the intersection of all those dimensions where there is a strict match between consumer and company stance? Do we have a list of pro BLM and not pro BLM companies? Then within each of those pro Palestine and not pro Palestine companies? Where does it end?

From that study:

> Limitations: ... no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.

This has always been the main motivation for mask wearing, but the study you cite didn't attempt to answer it.
> If you don't have Covid

That's a big "if". When's the last time you were tested?

Because that's the actual reason to wear a mask. Preventing yourself from getting infected is less relevant than preventing yourself from infecting others.

> A passing squirrel or a bird is not going to infect anyone.

I don't know about those two animals specifically, but it is very much possible for COVID to spread via animals (that is, indeed, in all likelihood how the COVID pandemic started in the first place).

> People walking solo in open spaces with masks on - which I see a couple times per week on my morning run - perpetuates a scientifically false narrative.

No, it perpetuates a narrative of "it's better to be safe than sorry", which is about as scientific of a narrative as it gets when it comes to infectious diseases. I wear my mask when out walking or hiking specifically because I don't trust others to keep their distance, and because I care more about the possibility that I might inadvertently spread COVID to someone who'd die from it than I do about messing up my beard with a mask.
I would disagree here. You’d have to give up their subsidiaries as well: Whole Foods, Twitch, IMDb, ring, Audible, and even AWS. As well as several online large scale shops (many even based through Shopify) use Amazon’s delivery network for faster shipping.

Google and MSFT provide cloud services also but AWS for sure has a large grasp on the market. Whole Foods is fairly unique; you can give it up but I doubt most people will. Audible and Kindle definitely are at the top of the pack for what they do, and Twitch is unrivaled. In Hollywood IMDb is the fairly standard. Ring can be replaced with Nest but you’re just going from one large company to another.

Giving up just amazon’s retail platform is part of it but it’s just a piece of a larger conglomerate.

Out of the bunch you described I’d actually argue Apple is the simplest to give up since it’s a select few high end technology pieces, rather than several large footholds in several niches.
