Filtering is an orthogonal concern to this, I'm not advocating against filtering. Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for, and you will go insane if you're not sure if the thing you want is on page 8 or 12 if you have to keep clicking "next/prev" to get between them.

Another way to put what you're saying is essentially that the user should never have more than one page of results. Putting it that way kind of shows that it's not really a solution
Sure, management can be shit, but then the company should simply go to ruins. Likewise, employee decisions can be bad, too. It's mostly magical thinking to assume with unionized employees there will be better decision making.

If I had a company, I would like to have the right to make bad decisions. And who defines good and bad decisions.

With unions, in the end you have courts decide on economic decisions. That's bullshit.

Given a choice between producing enough doses in 1 month for $10 each, and producing enough doses over 10 months for $1 each, which would you prefer they do?

The cheap-slow version costs a million lives, and several billion extra man-months of lockdown, in return for a globally insignificant cost savings. Valuing lives at maybe $1000 each.

Increasing production 10x for 10x the cost is pretty typical of things where you build a lot of special-purpose equipment which is then worthless after the production run.

"We are BIPOC workers who fight against totalitarianism."

I am not sure what this has to do with unionizing Google workers. Using obscure acronyms to arbitrarily focus on race and ethnicity (something frowned upon here in Europe at least) + the hyperbole of "fighting totalitarianism" doesn't give me great confidence that this is representing workers, as much as it is pushing the ideology of a vocal minority.

If they truly believe they represent the majority of Google employees, then they are free to widely share this call internally and see how many people actually agree with them and want to join their group. So far, it's ~0.2K out of ~260K employees.

Nobody would keep all of their liquid assets in AMZN stock either.

Put it another way, where'd you get that $400M from? Did you earn it, or get it from venture capitalists? If the asset is such a sure bet, why did the VC give you the money to sit on instead of investing it directly themselves?

And why is it that companies that pay dividends tend to do better in the stock market and be more stable? Essentially a dividend is admitting you have more money than you know what to do with, so you give it back to the shareholders rather than getting distracted from your core competency.
I don't know the individual story, but for me it sounds like a line was crossed.

> Yes her comment on twitter was distasteful and racist

Racism isn't acceptable in any form. If I make a racist comment, I wouldn't be surprised if my employer dismissed me.

I agree, trial by mob isn't acceptable, neither are death threats, and I agree that it's more common and that it shouldn't happen. (To avoid this personally, I don't use Facebook or Twitter) But if I make a racist statement, in public (because social media is public) then I won't be surprised if people start thinking of me differently and I won't be surprised if my employer decides to get rid of me.

See e.g. the dotted blue line on https://downdetector.com/status/google/. And the summary view seems to normalize its charts by their baseline.)

SEEKING WORK | GMT-3 (Brazil) | Remote | Full Stack web Developer | 10+ years experience

Hello, my name is Jean Lucas. I'm a software developer, doing things for web since 2012. I play a lot with JavaScript, and more recently also Go (Golang).

I really like early stage projects and startups, I'm also willing to play with technologies I haven't played before if the project is cool.

Here are some technologies I've played with: JavaScript, Node.js, React, React Native, lots of Linux, "devops", and (recently) Go.

We need to leverage our current knowledge to deliver actionable results to regular people. Data generation is pretty reasonable from the standpoint of time and costs, data storage who owns it, has rights to it, and how to deliver incites from that data to regular providers (see family practitioners) that aren't deeply knowledgeable about genomics and their interpretation.
> The truth is, many Google software engineers are unhappy with the political choices that Google are making.

This defense will be relatively easy for Google's leadership to counter. To the extent that it's used, the leadership will be able to say that the unionization effort isn't about working conditions. Instead, it's about political differences (and political differences that are distinct from what almost anyone thinks of as "working conditions").

I could be wrong, but "Google SWEs are unhappy with the leadership's political choices" doesn't sound like a winning rhetorical strategy.

I believe the implication is SD card/USB drive support on microcontrollers without an OS.

SD under 32GB uses FAT32 so you can’t drop supports, and FAT32 stack is often already pushing the maximum ROM size, so no room is left for a novel filesystem. Lots of developers aren’t themselves proficient at writing filesystem code as well, and there aren’t as many copy-pastable exFAT implementations as there are for FAT32.

So unless they know what they’re doing and unless it’s critical to their product, the majority won’t easily move onto exFAT.

As for the use within the device “firmware”, the user defined program is usually just a giant baremetal a.out in the middle of the ROM at a specified address, so no FS is involved there.
The main use for FAT32 and exFAT is to transfer files between different operating systems or between a computer and some dedicated device, e.g. a photographic camera.

They are not useful for anything else except memory cards, USB sticks and external SSDs.

Unfortunately, nowadays it is frequently necessary to copy files larger than 4 GB. When using FAT32, you cannot do that without splitting the file and concatenating the parts at destination. That wastes time and it is annoying and sometimes it may be even impossible, when the destination lacks a concatenation program or an archiver that can deal with split archives.

After Microsoft released it, now exFAT is supported in the Linux kernel. Because exFAT is also supported by all commercial operating systems, it is now the best way for file transfer.

It does not matter any more if there are still valid patents for exFAT.

> They are the anti-vaxxers of finance.

The anti-vaxxers of Finance have been pretty lucky so far. Much more than actual anti-vaxxers.

Sounds like your analogy is off.
Covid is already disrupting health care in ways they perhaps envisioned, so perhaps the project's plans became redundant.
Their purpose is multifaceted, but without a (mostly) unified front on matters they wish to bargain around, their ability to best serve their members during bargaining is compromised.

Threats of withholding union protection for making an informed choice would be shocking (and likely illegal!).

I don't pretend to know what you've seen and heard, but in most cases where "threats" were made, my bet would be that a statement like "if you want the union to be around to help protect you, listening to our guidance is the best course", was interpreted as a threat (singular specific you), rather than a general statement on the importance of how vital solidarity is for the survival of the union and its collective bargaining power(general/plural you).

My WFH desk is in my bedroom because of space constraints. The fact that it's there doesn't bother me one bit and I have no desire to work from bed, curled around the 14" laptop I do my coding on, instead of the 43" 4K screen I have on the desk.

But there are moments (once or twice a day) when I need to work on a specific piece of code that I don't mind center stage on the laptop display and I unplug everything and move to the bed for 20 minutes just for the calm, cozy feeling and a little bit of extra concentration.

The CIA, now promoting diversity in waterboarding and assassinations of foreign leaders.
I believe from a second reading this is correct - after training on the Matterport real estate image dataset, it appears they can transform novel images (which happen to be from that dataset, so they are still home interiors but can handle completely distinct scenes with distinct furniture etc.). Which is actually really fascinating and leverages decades of innovation. This is actually really cool and fully justifies the hype in the title.
Justice is coming up with a fair outcome based on an objective examination of the input factors. For example, deciding on guilt based on an objective examination of evidence.

Social justice is an arbitrary judgment based on subjective examination of inputs. It's collectivism. Disregard for individuals.
That fantasy depends entirely on the unionization having no blow-backs. A union that has to approve all business decisions going forward could very easily accelerate Google’s loss of relevancy and eliminate or reverse Google’s stock growth (which is the majority of an engineer’s comp).

ABJECT TANGENT ALERT

You're absolutely right. I find it incredibly frustrating that network effects and game theory mean we're stuck with sub-optimal solutions to problems just because "everybody else uses it". Twitter thread long-posts are just one example.

I would love to see some proposals for legislation designed to mitigate user-base monopolies. Products should be competing on features, price, and performance; not on who happened to acquire the most users first.

Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Office, iMessages, etc. are just a few examples of products that are market leaders not because of the quality of their product, but because they happened to capture large enough user bases to spur network-based growth.

I have no idea what this legislation would actually look like (or how disastrous the unintended effects would be), but at first blush I'm imagining something along the lines of compulsory interoperability requirements. The devil is in the details of course...
