We definitely want platforms to make money on Treasury - there’s a lot of flexibility in how platforms can structure monetization (and revshares are totally possible) so please contact us to talk more about how this works.

With respect to customer service for the end customer, this follows the same process as Stripe Connect. Depending on the type of connected accounts you choose, you can have either Stripe take on customer support for you entirely, or manage customer support yourself. While our bank partners power this product, they’re never interacting with end users at all: that layer, from a customer support perspective, is abstracted by Stripe.

I believe that's a good consequence of the kind of universal principles that it would be nice to have for data but can't serve as one of those principles.

For example, Al Capone had some friends, and the government violated his right to socialize with them without being surveilled for good cause.

The HN community is strongly hostile to crypto. Few people here like the downvotes when they speak positively about crypto, although I keep taking them!
So the claim is that Google looking at its access logs constitutes illegal spying? I'd like to see that claim fleshed out a bit more, I can see where this could be considered problematic to a non-technical person, but it's also common-place for most large companies (or small tech companies) to have internal tools that log employees' behavior.
I was never a manager so I don't know the official policies around dev lists and PIPs.

Generally, new hires are given a few months to ramp up and become contributing team members. People are usually placed on the dev list if they don't meet expectations, and placed on a PIP if their performance does not improve. I'm guessing it reflects poorly on managers if they devlist someone shortly after hiring them.

During my time at Amazon, I know only one person who was placed on a PIP and he was kind of a bad engineer. But I have heard stories of managers abusing the dev list to meet org-level dev list quotas.
Agh, I hate choosing between differently correct. Do I buy the paper towels that are giant sheets of recycled paper, or the little sheets of bleached paper?

The worst aspect- the ad network- is also its most profitable. I am sure if search and ads were separated, they would find a way to create some sweetheart deals that keep operations not too terribly changed.

Android would likely become less coupled to various google services, but I don't think most people actually want that- at least, I imagine most Android users would prefer Google maps to whatever else is out there

Sure but if both sides have the human right to freely associate, then the employer should surely have the right to reject associating with the union at all. But that's not afforded to them under US law, per my understanding.
The "right place and time" to fight corporate power usually turns out to be the most ineffective place and time anyone can think of. It's such an odd and consistent coincidence!
I read you last line, but “if it collapses we have bigger things to worry about” was essentially the same argument my father used when he advised me to invest in Lloyds bank — those shares lost 95% of their value since I bought them precisely because “something bigger to worry about” did in fact happen.

Now I’m a software dev not an economist, so perhaps you know better, but I have been told that WW2 essentially bankrupted the British Empire, which was 36.54% of global GDP in 1913.

I am happy to assume the SWF is invested wisely, but even if the manager’s kids and grandkids continue to invest wisely and learn the explicit lessons of the mistakes of others without ever falling into the mindset that they’re “too big [for anyone else to allow them to] fail” and therefore take risks that make failure more likely, black swan events are an ever-present risk. Indeed, one reason I referenced British Empire is the phrase “the empire on which the sun never sets” — it set on the British, and one day it will set on all the nations that now exist, including UAE.

They are as friendly as the law makes them, like any other company.

Note also that although France is often cited it actually has a very low unionisation rate, lower than the US, and e.g. the UK is massively more unionised. Unions are mostly active in the public sector. A specificity is that the right to strike is a constitutional right with quite lax requirements and it is a recurring debate that it is abused by unions. Union activity is also extremely protected so if you get elected as union rep it is virtually impossible to fire you for any reason.
Unfamiliar with a culture, it is easy to make these mistakes. I thought Taylor, Blake, Charlie, and Hayden were male names. Apparently they're practically unisex in their use.

>> the cocaine industry in Columbia is assumed to be worth

That is not the industry literally inside columbia, rather the value of cocaine as exported from columbia. Legalizing cocaine in-country would not legalize the international smuggling network. For the columbian government to sell all that cocaine they would still have to smuggle it out to customers. The americans/UK/Canada/europe/russia/china would not accept such international behavior.
You said that I believe my problems come from incompetent peers, and not shitty management.

I said that not only do I not believe my problems come from incompetent peers, but that I don't actually have any problems. And to the extent that I've worked under shitty management, I've had sufficient leverage to alter my situation accordingly. When I feel as though software engineers are systemically incapable of possessing the degree of leverage so as to alter their situations to a more optimal one, within reason, then I would be willing to consider bringing forth the myriad of problems that come with collectivization in order to attempt to access additional leverage. The landscape at the present could not be described as I have.

So no, I haven't proved any of your points. Nothing that you said applies to what I said.

I’m hoping for the best but here are things I worry about:

Immunity passport for travel (papers please)

Lockdowns as a go-to tool for any public health problem in the future. Bad flu season? New swine flu?

Permanent masks for the non vaccinated?

If you recall the original lockdowns were two weeks to flatten the curve. That has certainly grown.

But like I said. I worry a lot and I hope I’m wrong.
I love that term: COVID fatigue. We may be tired of COVID, but COVID is not tired of us.

Even when the death rates are super scary, people still don't follow common sense measures. Remember the so-called lockdowns in the USA? Everyone was still out horsing around, getting together, buying their khakis, eating at whatever restaurants they could find that were open. There was no enforcement, so nobody followed the rules. What a surprise!

Even now, where the disease is arguably worse than it's ever been, local governments are talking about opening up schools and other indoor super-spreader businesses like bars and night clubs. In most places, churches, with their saliva-fest indoor singing and chanting, are fully open. Nobody is taking sane measures at the arguable height of the pandemic!

If we learned anything from this pandemic, we learned that we can't rely on people voluntarily acting collectively to make things better for everyone.
This is one of the few things I draw a line at. I absolutely wear a mask indoors in stores etc. And I'll pull up a mask/neck gaiter outdoors if I'm approaching other people, even if I'll be somewhat distanced from them, especially if they are wearing masks. But, no, I don't if I'm on deserted forest trails or if I'm 50 feet away from anyone else.

I've rarely eaten at an outdoor restaurant since March, I haven't eaten indoors at all, and have been generally minimizing trips to stores so I'm conservative. But I'm not going to do something just to send a signal that I'm a "good" person.
By the same token, the company’s management is free to fight union creation, by sharing anti-union messages. Freedom of speech and assembly on both sides.

This is exactly the mentality that I find exhausting: it's this with us or against us attitude, this idea that the company shouldn't engage at all with people who have views contrary to those of the activists, this ridiculous demand for purity --- it creates a claustrophobic and hostile ideology-suffused atmosphere. It's not healthy.

Google is one of the most LGBT-friendly companies on Earth. It's not going to lose this spirit because it has someone from a milquetoast place like Heritage on some non-binding AI advisory board. The Kay Cole's James outrage mob was an ideological flex, not a genuine concern for the wellbeing of LGBT employees in the company.

The Kay Cole's James affair is a perfect example of the activist dynamic at Google: the activists claim to be protesting vulnerable people, but what they're actually doing is trying to sideline, delegitimize, and silence their political opponents.
Thing is Google will eventually get to the stage that the PR of not having a union exceed any downsides of having one.

As for software engineers (apart from SQL ones who would of read your UNION JOIN as a whole different sentence), most grown up in a work environment that has seen the need for Unions moot as tech companies shifted in perks/remunerations that exceeded what many a Union could of dreamed of achieving. That alone seen the driver for Unions moot in many eye's, combined with a lack of tech focused Unions and the shift from lifer work mentality to few years being classed a long time at a company. Times changed and moved faster than many Unions.

However, many tech companies grown to the stage that they ain't all software engineers and the size/scale of them has seen them grow to the stage that some level of check like a Union wouldn't go amiss and opinions about unions as a whole been slowly improving in the past few years after decades of disdain. Thing is, what type of Union and is the need for a larger more tech orientated Union or lots of smaller ones? That's the crux.

Though when I started in tech, the worry about competition bugging the water cooler was the edge-case worry, today it's the company itself that has become that worry and less of an edge-case as well. So clearly the use of Unions does have some safety in voice for employee's.
I am curious to know what conditions she put to google for not resigning.
I'd just add that if you have any belief that your application will grow, and it's time-series in nature, there's usually only upside to starting with a time-series specific database now. The hoops you'll jump through as the application grows will often bring you more headache than you can imagine now.

Before coming to work at Timescale a few months ago, I spent 18 years managing products at two companies, both of which were time-based applications (utility billing/energy data & IIoT). In both cases, the app started small and everything seemed fine. We could usually get around performance issues with other hacks. But in both cases there was a tipping point because the original database (one relational, no NoSQL) just wasn't designed for the challenge as the app scaled.

So whether you manage it yourself in a smaller environment for now or try something like Timescale Cloud, I can (almost) guarantee that you'll thank yourself in a year or two. ;-)
"Americans were able to make huge, selfless sacrifices during WWII. The only reason they can't do it now is that several very large companies profit from outrage, conspiracy, and polarization, and they have optimized our media to generate as much of those as possible."

Our governments are empowered to change behaviors by threat of force, but we're letting corporations conduct an authoritarian insurgency within our national borders while libertarian apologists cry "free markets" and "consumer choice".

Do you have sources on any of these? In the 'defunding' era, I often see this claim about the origins of police but a) it seems unlikely to be generalized (police forces in the Northern states are obviously not derived from "slave patrol remnants" and b) it seems irrelevant since whatever the police was in the past doesn't mean that's what it is today and it doesn't mean the goals or the culture are the same.
> you do have access to stock in companies like Stripe. In exchange for your time and expertise, they will pay you in both stock and cash.

That's not really a fair comparison. There are two huge differences between that and "buying stock".

1. You don't have to jump through arbitrary interview hoops in order to buy stock. I personally had a horrible initial interview experience with Stripe (I 100% don't believe Stripe's process is bad, but my experience was poor). This shouldn't prevent me from buying stock

2. This method of acquiring stock leaves you putting all of your eggs in one basket. You can only work for and get stock from a single company at a time, and you have to dedicate at least a full year to that one option.

If you give your employer an ultimatum with the fallback choice being "... Or else I resign" and they decline, it seems obviously logical and reasonable that your resignation has been submitted. This was the case for her. She admits to doing as much in her tweets, but then chooses to characterize the outcome as a surprise firing.
Jan Kiszka has done lots of talks over the years about virtualization and the specific requirements of these realtime/embedded/disconnected systems, and Jailhouse, at the KVM Forum. If you're interested in this it's really worth looking for these on Youtube.
Sure, the computer is doing a lot more. Apps are still responding to key presses or mouse clicks though. Fortnite, AutoCad or Excel: I press a button I want to see the effect. Increasing delay strictly reduces your ability to control the system via feedback.

Even in a mostly passive app like a video player, it sucks if the play/pause button has a long-delayed effect. The tendency is to press the button over and over and feel correctly that we have lost control of the app.
No, people aren't annoyed at Amazon because they make a lot of money. That is a false and unsubstantiated assertion.

In some ways, yes, and in others, definitely not. I think we'll get there: I also think some plastics are made using byproducts of fuel (gas/diesel) production, and as long as that's the case, we should probably use and recycle that (or find something else to do with it). Kind of like using every part of the animal, except with oil.

I don't think this will happen. Heroin is not cool at all, nobody does that willingly. Coke is a bit more common in certain scenes like big business.

But really, whoever wants to do these drugs is doing it already. Legalising is not suddenly going to make people want to use them. In the Netherlands cannabis is legal but it's a really uncool thing to do. Nobody wants to be a stoney. Most people try it once or twice and move on. Others get addicted yes, but really they're going to get it one way or another.

There's also a big range between legalising or promoting something. It can stay forbidden but just remove the huge penalties. Because that's what drives those prices up: It attracts the most unsavory types that are willing to take the heavy risk. It drives the huge profits they make and the violence.

And yes I've never used any drugs outside of alcohol (which I use infrequently). Not even weed.
I have thought in a similar vein about capitalism and markets. Why, if everyone is clamoring for fair contracts, are not businesses offering them?

Partly it's because consumers cannot tell a good from a bad contract.

And partly I think it's that a lot of people say the right signals ('I care deeply about privacy!') As it's the cause de celebre, but don't actually care.

Sometimes they just want to watch Hulu without going on a stallman esque campaign.
Sure, and that will be reflected in the amount you would have to pay in a free market to insure against the worst case. If it is a very rare event you will have to pay very little. If you're huffing whippets of aerosolized sars-cov-2, your insurance will be higher.
Which of your legal rights should your employer be allowed to attempt to suppress if someone doesn't like you using them?
Well they (Slack) had no chance. Competing with that thing was always going to end in tears. Microsoft is cemented in Office and collaboration software.

Microsoft was not going to let Slack eat their lunch. Instead they ate their lunch and ate Slack for dinner.

I think 'Crushed' is an understatement. 'Destroyed' sounds much more accurate.
What if I don't do any of those things?

What if I run the most worker-centric paradise, with employee empowerment, great wages, benefits and conditions?

And what if the national organization of an umbrella labor organization considers my non-union workforce as a threat to both their budget and their political power? And what if they provide materials and advisors promoting unionization, despite the fact that they are acting in the interest of the union organization itself, and not the workers they hope to represent?
