I wish Snowden didn't flee the country. I'd have a completely different opinion if he stood trial.
"Guild" might not go down to well in the USA as it sadly implies restrictive practices (descrimation against black workers) - read up on the early labour history in the USA.
From my experience it largely depends on the stream - for some I can easily get <2 seconds, others will be >10s. I'm not sure what causes this difference (ingest server?).
It was actually a question somewhat about correlation. I.e., unionization is a symptom that signals the end stage, not something that causes it.
Getting access for free/cheap lectures and other self-guided learning materials have been a solved problem to greater or lesser degrees for probably decades. It has of course gotten even better with things like OCW and MOOCs.

There's a lot for chemistry. Plenty from MIT even. It's just a little harder to learn on your own (especially when just starting out) because most people really do need to do the physical experiments.

There are forums full of autodidacts messing around with chemistry just like the forums full of autodidacts messing around with programming/CS.
You'd think DNS KV Store's a "nice figment of imagination", but one of the teams I worked for did use DNS TXT records genuinely as a (faster) way to reconcile state between the control plane and the data plane.

It sounded ugly on-paper, but the design was approved by everyone in the chain of command for what I presume was for lack of other viable options given the architecture.

And in ironic turn of events, instead of using DNS for service discovery, another set of engineers in the team opted for EC2 metadata (for example, security groups) instead.
If a judge can be pressured by the government they're political. Judges (in the UK) have nothing to gain by being political. They aren't elected politically, the roles are based on merit.
>What happened to never again?

Your proposed action would put millions of Chinese at extreme risk. "Potential negative economic impacts" isn't some vague reduction of profits, it's the poor having more limited access to what they need to survive.
> CCP membership means nothing.

I know. But that's not the point. Not that long ago people were speculating all over the place that Jack Ma's CCP membership means that Ant is a wholly state-controlled company and a national security threat. The 180 degree turn of all the comments, shows that at the end of the day, people don't actually know anything about China, and therefore we should be critical of speculations.
>This is exactly the point, I really don't know what is the parent arguing for here. Companies try to maximize the profit they can extract from employees. Why does parent try to paint employees doing the same in a negative light?

The difference is that people associate a union with forced membership; people who wanted to work at Google and to negotiate directly with Google, rather than accepting what the union negotiated for them, wouldn't be allowed to. If the union membership was entirely voluntary I imagine most people wouldn't object.
It’s hard to leave when your children have already made American friends, when they would suffer immensely going to a country they have no familiarity with. The disruption of money and emotional safety of moving to another country with no employment prospects is a horror I don’t want anyone to live through.
Yes.

You can't be employed by a unionized company if you aren't part of the union.
Yeah, Factor's environment looks really similar to something like Smalltalk. The thing with Forth is that it looks really daunting to perform higher level tasks that I'd be interested in performing on a day to day basis.
I meant "no one" as in foreign organizations outside of China control (media, etc).

I thought one of the main selling points was the on-demand computing power and per second billing. So instead of having a $5/mo VPS you only pay 30c or whatever your usage was for that month.

I do know that billing can get confusing and in some unfortunate cases people ended up paying 10x or 100x more than they expected.

Maybe my example was bad, but my point was that sometimes it's ok to not go on the most-efficient route and that for an MVP "good enough" is actually the best way to go.
The worst possible condemnation of a powerful national government: to compare its normal everyday functioning to a corporate product launch. Orwell was too optimistic.

I remember when the actress Fan Bing Bing went “missing” and now she’s back in the spotlight.

Or when the media reported Dr. Ai Fen (one of the first to identify COVID-19) was “missing,” but less than a week later she posting on Weibo and back at work.

Once Jack Ma is found, I wonder who will be the next person the media claims is missing?
Similar problem, different platform: every time I post music on Soundcloud I get likes and comments from bots that want me to pay for reposts.

They seem to have a huge problem at SC and it’s not clear to me that they have any reason to try to stop it. I have been reporting this behavior for years and from my perspective it hasn’t gotten any better.

I have no evidence for this but it feels like Soundcloud is on life support and they have zero or near-zero developers working on it.
Really fascinating subject that I've been thinking about a lot lately. At $FewCosAgo, I inherited a codebase which used passwordless login via SMS. SMS has a ton of intrinsic security flaws because of SS7 so there are obviously risks with this method. But with that said, it worked very well for the exact same reasons email doesn't here: SMS delivers nearly synchronously, and it was rare to end up in a situation where the login text didn't send to a user. After going through the flow a couple of times myself, I was shocked at how much more I felt inclined to test my own software just because logging in was so much lower friction.

Regrettably, the issues with passwordless email/SMS login mean that for now, if there's no OAuth provider you can/want to use, the ol' password is probably still the best way to go.

The reason for these folks unionizing is not for the traditional reasons (higher wages, better benefits, work life balance, keeping the company from running you over, ect...) This is more along the lines of being able to protest work that is consider unethical (IE the AI noted in the article, working with other gov'ts ect...) and not be penalized or fired for it. Unfortunately, I don't believe that a union is the answer for their problem because so long as there is money to fund a project there will be people lined up to work.
Agreed! But did I miss the part where the Epstein conspiracy theory was demonstrated to be true?
Seems pretty straightforward. Sometimes you fight for reform inside a system instead of leaving it. This is how those inside gain leverage.

Apparently I completely ignored the first comment in the original post. Apologies.
230 out 100k+ want to unionize? It would be nice for sure, but unions are not coming back[1].

The campaign to disrupt unions was successful and they are easily dismantled without breaking the law. Yet the employees still need protection. Unions have been sorta replaced by HR. Employees almost always go to HR to resolve issues but they forget that this entity is for the company, by the company.

If we want to make any impact I think HR is where we start. We turn it into a public and legal entity, required by law if the company reaches a certain size. And it reports to the state government.

The parent comment originally was written in such a way as to imply I was management.
"That term does not refer to how long they stay in your body."

I didn't assert that. I did state that after 70 years of only getting to some vague level of trace amounts its still likely there and that something of that nature is a "forever chemical" indeed. You haven't cancelled that.

You do realise that PFOS actually does have a half-life when in the body and that the body does break them down? Slowly. My point is that even at 5.3 years or anything around that half-life the stuff is in your body. Basically forever... until you're likely very old or dead.

You want to quibble about "forever" in a human being only 70 years. Ok. That's excessively pedantic however I'm not going to exhaustively iterate over every detail to do so.

Your link is year-on-year PFOS concentrations. Seems that the exposure from the environment is increasing. Sure.

How does that cancel out what I wrote? I fail to see where you've cancelled out my simulation at all.

When google announced the "Manifest v3" thing, which does impact ad blockers, people cried, but nothing happened.

Yes, the standards are theoretically open, but concretely nobody else can keep up, Google-the-server launches X and Google-the-client implements it, and than they propose standardizing it but move on anyway, and everybody else plays catchup.

It's not worse than closed source Flash, but it's huge lock in anyway.
> But for a fun fact, if you see many embedded systems that say they can only support an SD card up to 32 GB, it is a soft limitation due to the fact that media over 32 GB are pre-formatted to exFAT (and the system lacks support for exFAT).

There might also be the issue of the card reading hardware only supprting SDHC instead of SDXC (or SDUC).
If unions are about collective and not selective workers rights, what types of workers rights are missing not only at Google, but FAANG?

We hear lots about unions... or lack of them stifling access to opportunity or innovation, I’m curious to learn more about:

- What a modernized or reimagined practice of a union could look like where it wasn’t anchored in the world changing slowly, instead of quickly?

- How might a reimagined union focused on today’s issues with today’s approaches in the 21st century look and start much differently than one incarnated a few hundred years ago? Is there a step change possible or already occurred in some cases?

- How can unions overcome the issues that other bureaucracies (enterprise, Govt, education, health, etc) experience, including in some cases inhibiting change at the goal of self preservation?

The title of the stackexchange discussion is a little misleading. It really is: '"Hello, World" in what sloc thinks is zero lines of source code'

Most of the top solutions seem to take advantage of bugs in the way sloc tries to parse commented lines. e.g. many are:

/**/<do_something>/**/

And I'm surprised I don't see a related bug issue in the git repo: https://github.com/flosse/sloc/issues

Still this is a fun read. I'm curious to see what other tricks are out there.

I don't think H1Bs will unionize, there's too much too lose if they get fired.
There’s a matter of degree. The water plant is using electricity to hoist the water, so it’s strictly worse to use the water as a source than to use electricity directly. Add to that that we as a species are running out of drinkable water (there’s a good documentary about this on Netflix) and you have an inarguably unethical activity.

Most likely it is the team around loser ex-president Donald Trump and nazis like Breitbart, and they are bought and controlled by Vladimir Putin and other right-wing extremists, who hacked the election in 2016 even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a landslide. Do you remember when Donald Trump called nazis "very fine people" and threatened to have journalists assasinated? There is nothing these people won't attemp to destroy our democracy, including putting immigrant children in concentration camps, and spreading dangerous falsehoods and conspiracy theories is just another day at the office for them.

And these days it is even worse. I fear for the republic if Trump attempts a coup because they ridiculously claim "the election was hacked"!

In short, those paranoid idiots spreading conspiracies are sick and evil and I hope we will have the technology in the near future to keep them under very close surveillance 24x7.

5 Reasons to Learn Emacs in 2021
A tangential point, but I find it weird and somewhat amusing that an article on US Google employees should use a photo of Google's London engineering office. Maybe they don't have a good shot of a lot of people standing in front of some US office?
I just used the recent example that comes to mind.

The most prominent benefit is fight over overtime pay. In fact overtime pay is what triggered unionization in South Korean IT sector. Pre-unionization, basically no one in South Korean IT paid overtime. It is legally a gray area. Then Naver (the dominant search engine in South Korea) unionized over overtime pay and won. Other companies, including Kakao, quickly followed and all won. Naver union shared their know-how to other union organizers.
Is it really 'greed' when the capital ownership class want more money? That's not the narrative I hear pretty much everywhere, I simply hear it rebranded to: growing the economy, improving life, creating jobs, etc. It all depends on the argument and who wants what.

Ultimately, capitalism drives greedy behaviors in everyone either by choice or by necessity. At some point if you don’t adopt similar behaviors to the greedy, you will be taken advantage of, guaranteed. One of the flaws of this system is that competition is what props it up and gives it stability, so everyone has to play the optimization game as much as the most optimal are optimizing, otherwise they're 'losing' in our economic system, relatively speaking.

So yes, it's the same optimization like behaviors Google and other giant businesses in the capital ownership class are utilizing. Are the motives different (greed, survival, sense of 'fair' compensation)? Maybe, maybe not, but if you don't play the game it doesn't matter because you're being taken advantage of and the state will only decline.

I for one applaud Google employees pushing this and hope they can set a precedent for the entire industry. There is widespread rampant abuse in tech no one talks about or just ingore and it's often waved away because '...but money' and employment mobility. None of these fix the underlying problems and are often merely excuses made to allow abuse to grow and fester.

> Sometimes it feels China is going through the same stages of history Europe went through over centuries but at breakneck speed.

And you feel it right. This is what is the explanation for the schizophrenic public position of the Chinese establishment: on one hand they shout out loud that "economic liberalisation is irreversible, opening up will go on," and on other keep tightening all legal, and extralegal nuts on private enterprise, and in overall sliding back into the madness of seventies.

They have accepted the fact of millionaire chicken run to the West being unstoppable, but they at least want to prevent the multimillionaire, and billionaire chicken run.

They simply want their money that much, and that started to outweight the rational interest of "not slaughtering a hen laying golden eggs" in recent 2-3 years.

>Speculations about China have a tendency to view everything through the "CCP is evil and the only thing that's constantly on their minds is how to kill/jail/invade more" lens.

That's because they are unquestionably, unambiguously evil. The CCP has murdered more people than any organization in the history of the world -- more than the nazis, more than the bolsheviks. But unlike the nazis or bolsheviks, the CCP death count continues to increase every day.

"Indeed such compounds do not have a half life. They can only continue to increase in concentration in everyone’s body over time"

Wrong.

https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/insight/these-chemicals-ar...

"PFASs can concentrate in the bodies of humans and animals over time through a process known as bioaccumulation. For example, as a result of PFOA’s tendency to bioaccumulate and its long half-life in humans, PFOA’s presence in the body can persist even after exposure stops. PFOA’s half-life (the length of time it takes for a substance to decrease to half of its original value) in humans is anywhere from over two to nearly four years, while other PFASs have been shown to have a half-life of over eight years. There is also evidence that some PFASs can biomagnify, or increase in concentration, up the food chain."
I called ConEd and union workers were slacking by my house the entire working day. At the end of the day they went out , checked my cord, said nothing wrong and finished the day. I heard many other similar stories like this. If google will face this situation they’ll just move their workforce elsewhere except some numbers of really great talents , and those will be motivated.
>Your POV is common to many that will accept much less with certainty rather than working through a decent amount of uncertainty for the prospect of a whole lot more.

Don't you put that on me. You're explicitly talking about a scenario where we're not even comparing notes on the possibility space of that uncertainty until I'm downside-committed.

How would that work? Send an email to every customer (domain, so pick a single customer at every domain) and send them an email with a fake login, or a note that says please disregard?

Aside from that being spam, it's also likely to get legit emails stuck in spam filters as people start marking them as spam.

Secondly, I think most of the largest providers don't really grey list any longer. They seem to have moved to inbound throttling. So your first email goes through but then if you send a rash of mail, you end up seeing the throttle on the back side.

> The issue isn't with the user's email. The issue is with the site's email provider. If the email server sending out the one time links is under heavy load or for some reason has a backlog, it may take a while for the links to actually get to the user

That is not completely true. I've been operating my own mail server for almost a decade, since I am the only person using it the volume of email I send out is almost none.

I've observed on more then one occasion that sending an email to my gmail or my fathers gmail account can sometimes take 20 minutes or more to show up in gmail inbox although I know that google accepted the email as soon as it was sent.
