At the risk drawing fire from everyone, I don't really think ISO27001 is a security certification. We get audited annually against 27k Annex A (basically ~95% of full one) + UK Gambling Commission extras.

The audit focuses far more on technical aspects of business continuity than actual security. There's certainly plenty of overlap, but other than the parts about access controls and "who watches the watchmen" aspect, ISO27k is almost entirely about your ability to recover from even the most devastating disaster. The pragmatic security parts have a bolted-on feeling to ensure the recovery path remains largely uncorrupted.
I tend to agree, but the flipside is that we need trust the workers' judgment when a new union doesn't form. I see a troubling tendency among union organizers to assume that anyone who's thinking clearly would want to be in a union - if a unionization vote fails, that can only mean the company must have tricked or bullied people into casting the wrong vote.

A marriage of equals doesn’t work and your parents (and mine) have happy relationships because this principle was followed.

>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25795459 links an article about Amazon driving average wages down.

That doesn't disprove gp's claim that amazon is better than the existing warehouse jobs, because it could be simpson's paradox at work. eg. let's say before amazon moved in your warehouse jobs you had in an area were the following:

* 20 forklift drivers @ $20/hr

* 100 pickers at @ $10/hr

The average warehouse wage would be $11.67/hr. Now, let's say amazon opened the warehouse and created higher paying jobs (like gp claimed), and the jobs now look like the following:

* 30 forklift drivers @ $22/hr

* 500 pickers at @ $11/hr

Every job's wages went up by 10%, yet the average wage slightly fell to $11.62.

Just a personal anecdote, my biological grandfathers trunk was firebombed by the Philly Roofers Union (UURWAW) due to a dispute with them. The K&A gang in that area is well known to be tied into the union[0] and was known to fairly regularly engage in violence like that to prevent "scabs". My point being, the violence was omni-directional and this fact is often omitted by those in favor of unions.

Sorry, but this comment is wrong on every level.

First: that is very much not how prices work. If everyone else stayed on the sidelines and did not sell or buy any Bitcoin, the price could be set by two people - one buyer and one seller.

Second: you have no way to know who bought BTC. You can get a guess from various media, but you can never truly know. Large amounts of Bitcoin frequently change hands in entirely private transactions. Lots of volume is on shady exchanges, and of the volume on legitimate exchanges - what's to say that those are all "HODLERS"?

I have no idea what the price of Bitcoin will be in the future, but your comment is definitely not correct - downside risk is certainly not limited by the type of people who bought in.
So whether workers should be allowed to unionize should depend on which changes they are fighting for? Where's the line of powerlessness a union's beneficiaries need to be under in order for the union to be valid in your perspective?

It seems like the main actions taken by the Google employees' union so far have been to push the company to behave more ethically, not to enhance their already-significant (indeed, outrageous) privilege. I see that as using their privileged positions as leverage for positive change, and I hope they succeed.
It doesn't sound like they were equipped or qualified to do that either, as evidenced by their current outage.

I don't know why people are acting like Parler is the only platform to have ever hosted content considered questionable by the mainstream. The [\d]chans and various porn sites have been around for years.

I know that the general consensus seems to be that corporations despise unions because it inhibits their unrestrained profits, but I have a pet theory as to why American corporations specifically avoid unionization whilst other corporations in other Western countries seem to accept it as a reality of doing business.

I view it as a sort of prisoner's dilemma between two corporate boards. As a primer for those who are not familiar, there are two prisoners in solitary confinement who are given the choice of remaining silent or testifying against the other in exchange for being set free. The two prisoners cannot communicate with each other.

* If A and B each betray the other, each of them serves two years in prison

* If A betrays B but B remains silent, A will be set free and B will serve three years in prison

* If A remains silent but B betrays A, A will serve three years in prison and B will be set free

* If A and B both remain silent, both of them will serve only one year in prison (on the lesser charge).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

In my example, the prisoners are presented with two options: unionize, or stay un-unionized.

There are a few tweaks I will make.

I view "prison" as the consequences of picking either option (there is no way to be set free). A short sentence represents the consequences of not unionizing: negative PR, labor lawsuits, and committing moral sins in whatever belief system you subscribe to. A long sentence is the consequence of unionizing: lost profits as wages and benefits are negotiated. A and B's investors will not approve of either getting a long sentence. Lastly, betrayal will be punished, not rewarded.

* If A and B unionize, they will both be sent to prison with long sentences.

* If A betrays B by unionizing but B doesn't, A goes to prison with a long sentence and B gets a short sentence.

* If B betrays A, A gets a short sentence and B gets the long sentence.

* If A and B do not unionize, both of them get the short sentence.

Given these rules, the only logical choice is to not unionize. If A or B unionize, they are hit with the long sentence. Corporations avoid unionization because their investors will punish them.

HOWEVER!

Imagine if A and B unionized, and every other prisoner in the prison also chose to unionize. The investors cannot punish every prisoner, because there is no one else left to invest in! Therefore, the long sentences (lower profits) are simply accepted because there is no way out - no way to avoid the long sentence.

That is why unionization enforced by government succeeds better than voluntary unionization. Investors are forced to accept the low results because they cannot choose to avoid unionized companies in favor of un-unionized ones. However, as long as the ability to avoid unionization exists, investors will do their damnedest to make sure that company boards work against worker movements. The boards must comply regardless of their personal beliefs, because they will lose the game if they allow the company to be unionized.
What exact terms have changed that are "bullshit"? I see a lot of hate for whatsapp and statement about people switching etc, but nobody can explain what EXACTLY in this privacy policy update has changed to warrant that? From what I can tell absolutely nothing changed for the average users, only those who want to communicate with businesses - but perhaps I'm wrong.
With a monogamous relationship as your only close contact, you’re pretty unlikely to do (3).
The problem is when anecdotes about isolated abuses are used to reject unions outright rather than looking at whether unions as a whole would benefit society.

You could argue from personal experience that you went to a bad school therefore all schools are bad, or you had a bad experience with <insert skin color, ethnicity, or religion> therefore all people of that sort are bad.

It's just not very convincing.
I recently received the ThinkPad P14s AMD (same as T14) that I ordered back in November. I only paid about $800 US for this, with some corporate discounts that most people can easily find. Comparing it to my Macbook, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's only 1080p, but I really don't mind it at all because it's matte instead of glossy. And the keyboard is pure bliss compared to just about anything.

> with extensible memory and replaceable NVMe SSD

Not only that, but there is a WWAN slot that you can add an additional NVMe drive to. You can find 512GB 2242 form factor drives on AliExpress for about $50. There are 1GB ones for about $100. That's my current experiment. Hoping to dual boot Windows and Linux.

But this thing has an ethernet port. In 2021. And all the other ports you'll ever need. Mine came with an Intel Wi-Fi 6 card installed in a slot which would appear can be upgraded or replaced as well. Just insane utility. I even like the soft feel of the case more than the cold aluminum of the Macbook.
I take it a step further and reject all public sector unions. Teachers, cops, firemen, dog catchers, you name it.

There’s just too many perverse incentives for politicians to give in to union demands in exchange for buying votes. Unlike the private sector, the ones agreeing to the union demands care little about the long term costs associated since they’re not the ones paying them.

> Besides, Intel has the kind of margins and volumes that if TSMC wanted to massively expand their production lines, Intel’s orders could underwrite it.

This is my point, imagine building all this manufacturing capacity for Intel, and then they get a breakthrough with their own manufacturing and goes "nah, we'll make these ourselves now".
Since <insert nm here> manufacturing still gets old after awhile it's not like it'll be very utilized once it's "old" (I believe, taken out of thin air though, i know some big NM is still used for things like switch ASICs and such)

I'm honestly kind of surprised to see the teacher union hate in this thread.

The teachers that I know work tirelessly, don't make very much money, and do literally everything they can to help students. This is doubly true during the past year when they've had to re work plans so that they work over zoom or in person.

I think perhaps the point of friction is that all of this is true and the city can't afford to pay them more, so they get other concessions.

I fundamentally disagree with your claim about lack of innovation - in a public high school 15 years ago your story doesn't ring true, much less seeing my friends who are teachers talking about lesson plans today.
I believe it's more to do with users abandoning WhatsApp due to the concerning privacy policy that Apple forced them to disclose to their users. Many high profile influencers are recommending people switch to Signal.

On the other hand, a recent paper shows that NAD+ replenishment reverts tumor resistance to immunotherapy, so those therapies shouldn't be combined.

After bending the knee at the altar of Open-Source, the blog post recommends Open Distro for Elasticsearch's Security plugin.

ODfE's Security plugin is a fork of floragunn GmbH's mixed-license Search Guard product, including the bits that floragunn charges for. This seems to have been done with floragunn's blessing - presumably Amazon paid floragunn for this.

But Elasticsearch B.V (the company) accuses floragunn of stealing Elastic's non-free X-Pack security software to create Search Guard, putting both Search Guard and ODfE's Security plugin on shaky legal ground.

I remember reading about this lawsuit on Elasticsearch's (admittedly slanted) blog, not sure how far the lawsuit has gone from there: https://www.elastic.co/blog/dear-search-guard-users-includin...

Amazon of course says that Elasticsearch's claims are baseless: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/launching-open-distr...

In either case, I'm not sure that ODfE will be trouble-free in terms of licensing issues, depending on how these lawsuits go.

I'd say they are allowed to have unions, local governments just need to be able to exert meaningful oversight even with the unions.
Wish it had more details: Rate(s) of rotation, load capacities -- including windloading, etc.

Also rather wish it didn't rely on wifi/android, but that's mostly because I don't use anything android based, and don't run any wifi on the home network anymore.

All in all though, it's still a pretty nice looking little az-el rotator. With different control software, it might also be a useful little addition to give your static security camera a bit of extra capability without breaking the bank.
The linked paper literally just says "(assume the default IME app does not have these problems)" in it without justification.

This thirdparty IME concern seem really more relevant for e.g. Japan being worried about it's citizens using a compromised Baidu IME instead of a more trustworthy preinstalled Japanese one. All IMEs all can be keyloggers and the Chinese government can necessarily access Baidu data, and any smaller Chinese IMEs will be outside the auditing and enforcement jurisdiction of the Japanese government.

If you're inside China using the preinstalled OnePlus IME that "untrustworthy supposition" just already holds to the preinstalled one, and there's little reason to believe at least some of these third party IMEs are more likely to be compromised than the preinstalled one instead of less likely.

There are many people working at Google that are not full time employees. They are treated completely differently when it comes to their pay, sick leave, vacation, or even just certainty that they will have a job when their contract expires. The benefits for them from being unionized are a lot more important than you’re making them out to be.
I agree that it's unfortunate that the initial attachment to phone numbers has thus far made Signal harder to use for dissidents in many countries. But I can also understand that there are legitimate constraints that led them to go this route initially (abuse & spam prevention come to mind).

I can also acknowledge that it's a universally good thing that they are moving in a positive direction here, and I do not hold it against them for being unable to solve all problems for all people at the same time.

NSLs are a problem generally, but I have a lot less concern in Signal's case because they have no data, and they'd have to be forced to make significant software modifications to enable targeted interception of messages. This is something I expect they would be motivated to fight, more so than any for-profit company might.

Let's acknowledge and appreciate progress where it is being made.
