How else do you pay dozens of union leaders $500k salaries? Someone has to cough up the dough.
Contract bargaining for the members is not the only thing a union usually does. There are loads more to it, great starting point to learn more about unions would be to read through the Wikipedia page before dismissing the idea, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_union

If it wasn't clear to people working at Google before, if the company moves somewhere in order to lessen the power of their employees, I sure hope the employees start waking up to how their company treats them. My guess is that Google doesn't want to actually show that face though, so unlikely to happen.
It's a little gobsmacking how many, and how often post-secondaries stifle and ostracize research and development that is more than a safe and comfortable stretch from existing bodies of knowledge.

Is innovation required to be only in safe and comfortable baby steps.. Or whatever can be controlled or understood..?

Maybe this is in part a reason why so many of our leaders, institutions and experts in so many fields revealed themselves not to be .. during COVID.

There are more voices starting to speak that the clock is starting to tick on some academic brands for failing to exist in the future, and the digital transformation of society has already left them behind.. While some remain at maintaining a present that is anchored in the past.

I'm passionate about the value of an education to improve your life and hope this rapidly improves with the the other rapid changes occurring during the pandemic.

Still, devaluing someone, marginalizing their contributions, and then continuing to own their intellectual property for the long game doesn't seem entirely reassuring behavior for any post secondary.

If it wasn't valuable then, why not let the prof walk with IP ownership if it's so worthless?
It's not all black and white though. I did learn a lot (especially about myself in recent months), but this all came with a very real cost.

If I did consultancy or went back working full time as an employee, I'd have a ton more money in the bank. It does impact my family. It is money lost, no matter how you decide to look at it :)

I'm not saying that I regret doing what I did. What I regret (but am not going to cry all day about) is the bad decisions that I've made during that part of the journey.

The difference is the union at some level ultimately has to answer to the workers who comprise the union, whereas the corporation is ultimately responsible to the majority stockholders who are expropriating surplus labor time from those working at corporations.
> Singapore is probably the only country which would force a business to hire somebody with clinically severe mental development issues.

On the other hand, mental conditions are heavily stigmatised in Singapore.

No government-linked company (and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund has its fingers in most large and up-and-coming companies here) would hire someone on a career track if they have a diagnosed mental condition of some sort, anxiety and depression included.

Public health insurance downplays the severity of most mental conditions, but the status quo seems to be slowly improving: https://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/move-include-addictions-se...

Unions are "Red scare" for many. I thinks it comes down to ideology.

Pro capitalists view unions with skepticism or hostility because challenges the system, pro socialists view as a way to fight the power structures and injustice.

Other people just don't want to be involved in unions because is a sensitive topic and are afraid to lost their jobs.
They state in the thread that the driveway was quickly corrected. I thought it was reasonable to assume we were talking about the addressing issue.
What the new science of narcissism says about narcissists
Thanks for the link to that proposal.

Just thinking out loud, given Zig's errors primarily allow the compiler to enforce that errors are handled, and exhaustively, beyond that why can't error payloads just be passed as an input argument pointer to the function call? Maybe this is a dumb idea, but it's what C programs already do, except C programs don't have the safety of compiler checked errors offered by Zig. Does the Zig compiler need to check error payloads beyond the type system already provided? I'm not sure.

I agree with you that having such a super-ergonomic error handling system will direct most code towards a certain style, but I don't think this is contrary to Zig's goals of perfect software or simplicity. It's already such a huge win on top of C's error handling.
Are these negative characteristics you’re describing from before or after Taft-Hartley?
Good observation,

But I want to add that Toyota can mean a dozen real manufacturers under a single brand.

Even in Japanese domestic market, there are "Junk" Toyotas, and Good Toyotas. There are good domestic market Toyotas made by external contractors, and there are bad Toyotas made by Toyota's own factories.

There are export grade Toyotas, made with export grade parts, and there are domestic market Toyotas with significantly different in design, and parts despite being sold under same model name.

And outside of Japan, there are many, many dozens of contract assembly plants ran by completely random people, assembling cars from very wide variety of parts, and doing many design, and spec changes.

By the way, what's the tool is there to detect cold welds in wiring?

From what I understand, tax on goods below £135 is still to be paid but at POS

"For imports of goods from outside the UK in consignments not exceeding £135 in value (which aligns with the threshold for customs duty liability), we will be moving the point at which VAT is collected from the point of importation to the point of sale. This will mean that UK supply VAT, rather than import VAT, will be due on these consignments."

"For most consignments not exceeding £135 in value, instead of VAT being collected at importation or delivery to the customer, VAT will be accounted for at the point of sale."
I believe the GP is referring to the rapid depression in the area when auto companies started moving south to open-shop states (e.g. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee), not the original unionization.

Slightly off topic, but I'm so happy wikipedia has finally stepped up an gotten rid of the stupid conspiracy theories that used to ruin their articles in the past because they turned a blind eye to the racist patriarchy of old white men that oppresses the working class and minorities.
I'm not sure this is true really, as long as a state remained a party to the ECHR itself. The UK didn't incorporate into domestic law until 1998 and RoI (which has a similarly "dualist" legal system of international and domestic law) 2003 - so it was possible to be a member of the EU before 2003 without doing this for sure.

Also to add to the confusion, many EU member states have "monist" systems of international and domestic law and never have incorporated via statute because their legal systems allow enforcement of convention rights directly. But in some of these countries the practical effect and applicability of the ECHR is actually less than in the UK via the HRA.

To be honest I'm not sure if it's a total hack or a reasonable use as intended, or somewhere in between. But it got it done, and is at least more elegant than hard coding something arbitrary which may change (just not too frequently), I think.

The budding chorus of "fund the researcher, not the project" is finding solutions. UBI stipends and crowdfunding are a far cry from MacArthur Genius Grants for All (~$500k/anum). But the success of Fold.it, a citizen science protein synthesis game, demonstrates viable alternatives. The competitive landscape now isn't in the form of a Leibniz–Newton rivalry between humans. It's human+AI vs human. DeepMind with it's unlimited budget and GPU cluster can solve protein folding in less time than a theorist penning their grant application!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have any surveys or data points to support those two points?

Seems you and a few others here on HN would do good by reading up on trade unions look around the world. As far as I'm reading their values, all of them are within "Trade union issues" and doesn't consider having a country-wide political impact. The people working on this are trying to adjust their own workplace.
My most recent direct exposure to film unions was the 2007 WGA strike, which was the initial source of many of my fears about unions. The WGA didn't just say "our members aren't interested in working under these conditions"; they issued angry denouncements of anyone who did work, sabotaged production company efforts to find temporary replacements for guild writers, and recruited friends in adjacent jobs to strike with them. For over four months, the industry was just on pause, and there was nothing anyone could do about it until the union monopoly and producer monopoly reached an agreement.

I have nothing but respect for the many workers who have to unionize, because they won't receive acceptable pay and working conditions unless they do. If the WGA feels that writers are in that position, I'm not going to tell them they're wrong. But I don't think software engineers are, and I have no interest in working in an environment where my coworkers might disappear for four months and demand nobody else step in to do their jobs.
Side Project: TechNews Chrome Extension
We designed our documents just like separate tables and didn't want to denormalize the data model. This was a mistake and known anti-pattern for NoSQL, because we just can't easily join different documents together. It caused issues with updates (e.g., If I change the state of a meeting document that is linked to a number of other documents, then I need to fetch/update those separately) and all without a transaction, because CouchDB only ensures atomicity at the document level (& with bulk ops). It's far from intuitive, prone to error, and complex.

Certainly, having a classic RDBMS with an powerful ORM makes such operation much easier in practice, and safer as well.

I'm not bashing on NoSQL; we just use it badly and suffer from all the drawbacks while getting none of the benefits (since our schema is strict after all..).

CouchDB was appealing for offline-first because it exposes a RESTful API & means to replicate entire databases. So we had in mind to use PouchDB on the client-side; store a copy of the data locally while online, saving changes locally and synchronizing when going back online.

So it allows for a true offline-first approach, not a middle ground where you keep access to the subset of the data that you already got while browsing the app.

But it doesn't mean that it's easy, or that it ain't possible to do the same with a classic RDBMS, or a mix of tech...
Unfortunately, it's just something you start to notice once you become more familiar with the fundamental math underlying all of this.

The book, Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective by Kevin Murphy (the original book everyone in this thread is talking about) is probably the closest thing I can think of. Its goal is to frame everything around graphical models and probability. It's quite a tome. Still, despite its breadth, it can't possibly cover everything.

I compared Covid's estimated IFR of < 0.23% to flu's < 0.07% [1].

But that's exactly the discussion I called out as not terribly relevant: The variance within Covid (due to age, location, comorbidities…) is much greater than variance between Covid and flu.

In other words, even a Covid-vs-flu rate difference of 20x (as you say) is dwarfed by the 1000x difference between Covid age groups (which you didn't contest). Can we agree on that?

My point is that a broadly aggregated statistics like "global IFR" is too crude to be actionable. Easy to put in a headline, sure, but more potential for confusion than good.

Service related activities are treated a little different.

Service is considered to be delivered in the country where the service beneficiary is.

That's why financial services cannot be delivered cross border, without legal approval in the "destination" country.

On the other hand sales of goods is something that happens in the seller's country - that's how companies in countries without consumer protection can just tell you to STFU on thing you bought from them.

people need to realize they're paid what they're worth (and come on... google pays VERY well). unionizing so you don't work in environments bad for your health is a thing. unionizing so you can extort money from your employer, however, is a slippery slope that leads to a few people at the top of the heap causing lots of trouble for the company, probably its members (dues... or else!) and those union leaders get nice houses on ski slopes. best of luck google!

Why not? They're doing the labor. You're just assuming your conclusion here. Your premise is that "having capital" deserves a reward and "doing work" doesn't, and so your conclusion is that having capital should be rewarded and doing labor should not be. But if you change your premise, the results can change too.

BeatConnect is an effect that is placed on the master output and it will capture audio and place it in the shared sequencer window, sync'd with anyone else who's connected with you. Like google docs but for music. So its audio but this setup allows everyone to use their VSTs and instruments.

I've added some features that make it easy to quickly bring in pre-recorded material (like midi patterns or stuff in drum machines/step sequencers) so that you don't need to do an annoying stem render process.

Projects get saved to the cloud so they can be reloaded by anyone whenever, you don't necessarily have to be online at the same time to work on the track. Export to wav when finished, and you can drag samples from the plugin into your DAW as well if you want to do some special chopping or modifications. There's also a lot of silent treatment and processing of the audio to make sure no matter the gear people have, or the sample-rate they set, everyone hears the exact same audio without degradation.

Works with pretty much any DAW that supports VST3/AU, Logic/GB is fine as well as most of the big players on and pc and mac.

And yeah thanks, really excited to start sharing this and getting it out there, worked like a demon on this for almost a year now :)
> A union that relies entirely on industrial action (a.k.a. strikes) to get a company to change, isn't a good union. If a union walks into every negotiation with just an ultimatum, then very quickly the otherside is going to get fed up of their bullshit.

You must have not met the publicly employed unions we have in other countries. Teachers, nurses unions in my country for ex. threaten (and sometimes they do) all the time to down their tools to relative success. Sometimes the only way to get a point across your deaf employer is the way of the iron fist.
Look for data on this and you’ll learn the opposite. Teaching requires a master’s degree in most cases but in many states that’s only getting you pay in the $40-50k range (yes, housing is cheaper in the boonies. No, cars, consumer goods, food, medications, etc. are not.)

A popular propaganda claim is that teachers work fewer hours based on the hope that reader doesn’t know teaching includes more than direct instructional time. Summer breaks are shorter now and have things like mandatory training for required professional development, and the few weeks most teachers have off are not enough to make up for the long hours during the school year and inability to take time off when school is in session.

Unions would also add additional hurdles to young engineers looking to join or move up within the company.

We like to think of unions as protecting members against the corporation, but traditionally unions also protect members against outsiders looking to take their jobs. In this case, those outsiders are young people breaking into the industry or trying to move up the ranks within Google. Before going all-in on unions, consider if you’re ready to start making it harder for Googlers to get fired or make it more difficult for someone to get promoted based on their work rather than seniority (number of years worked).

At this point it’s not even clear what the union is demanding or what they expect to change. Google already has industry leading pay and benefits, as well as a reputation for some of the most reasonable working hours in the industry.
So your anecdotal evidence is better than mine? ;-)
