If you're trying to do anything with the latest hardware, it's always going to be a pain on Linux. Even Windows doesn't have flawless support with every game on day one.

That's a joke. I've been using Linux on Nvidia since the Riva TNT. It was always Radeon that had garbage drivers and really didn't give two shits about Linux. Not sure how much this has changed with AMD owning them, but I never bothered to look at Radeon since Nvidia was always the best card and always worked. It's almost never more than just doing a single package install.

> software has to be written against the NVIDIA proprietary drivers, rather than using the standard tools that everything else uses like OpenGL and Mesa.

I think you fundamentally do not understand Mesa or OpenGL to say this. And no, nothing has to be "written against" Nvidia. It's literally OpenGL (or Vulkan, today). Unless you're talking CUDA or something, which I don't touch.

This all just sounds like so much FUD that you wrote.

Once nice thing about the Matrix protocol is that you can build your own client following the specs (unlike Signal).

As far as I know they very much do support labor issues, they just haven't been as much of the flavor of the month lately due to the headlines of racial, transgender, and other related political issues since those usually garner more views in the media.

Part of the reason may be that the divide between Democrats and Republicans is much wider on those issues vs labor issues.
I think you can find people who are publicly abusive and privately kind in online communities.

I just finished listening to a podcast called My Year in Mensa, which centers around an unmoderated Mensa facebook group, and the author's interactions with them. As you can imagine from an unmoderated community, it sucks and a lot of people say shitty things there.

A common refrain the author heard from people defending the group is "They're the nicest people in real life!", which may absolutely be the case, but publicly, they are presenting abusive versions of themselves.
I’m not sure it is a complete reimagining, but it does take a developer first approach. Many Dev tools need to be extendable and the Firefox team has tried to do that with the built-in dev tools.

it can absolutely make sense to finance a depreciating asset.

example one: I have just been offered a good job that requires a car for commuting. I have no car and negligible other assets. it is rational to take out a loan for a reasonably priced car as long as I can comfortably make the payments on my new wages. if I later lose my job but am not upside-down on the loan, I am still better off than I started.

example two: I make $200k and have $500k in assets and I want to buy a $20k car. I could easily afford to buy the car outright by selling some assets, but then I would have to pay capital gains and forgo future appreciation. if the expected appreciation + capital gains tax on those assets is significantly higher than the loan interest over the full term, it is rational to finance the vehicle.
I am not an accountant or tax attorney, however Signal is a 501c3 so this deduction almost certainly qualifies.
I actually know a bit about the german union model.

A couple of factors - the overall labor force is pretty highly educated and skilled - so less free riding overall.

Strong social safety net - so folks not suited to a job have a place to land with health care etc.

a MUCH more cooperate relationship with management -> the unions in Germany at least also want productivity / common sense stuff.

In the US, you can have totally illogical and inefficient work rules and unions will keep them on purpose just to drive up bargaining power, even though it hurts everyone (ie, being able to no show for work with no call etc).

Not all of europe is the same. The french unions have a different approach than german unions etc.
Fantastic point, that's certainly the role it's played in my life!

What happens when a whistleblower or dissident wants to use Signal? Should they be forced to cough up a payment with a traceable credit card or app store account in order to use it?

For that reason alone I think it's important for the service to be free. Though I would perhaps support some reasonable free usage limits if needed to prevent abuse.
That's a flaw of the theories of black holes, not relativity.

> It really breaks relativity for all forms of energy to produce gravity.

It does not, quite the opposite: It's a fundamental feature of it.

> Which is completely ok as long as there is some experimental support.

There is no experimental support for black holes either, it breaks physics far less for black holes not to exist. (Note black holes are not the same as super massive objects, which do have experimental support. An event horizon has never been observed, just assumed.)
Fads, or fad-generating phenomena, seem often to serve as highly-perceptible signifiers of deeper, hard-to-assess social and political patterns and groups, operating in a strongly information theoretic manner.

Greenwald's behavior in recent years is, for all the world, like someone whose access to information is being ever-so-carefully managed so as to subconsciously lead him down a path to discredit himself and drive away his support group.

If that is what is happening, it is terrifying that it has been achieved. Such a capability might have been a goal of the original MK-ULTRA project. Its original purpose was, by the evidence, to test, on the US public, methods of thought control. An early project, to get people to believe the CIA were trying to use ESP for spying, was a rousing success: to this day, a strong majority of Americans still believe it.

For another application of their methods, consider the ground-swell of support for invading Iraq, despite every scrap of actual evidence showing that its casus belli was completely fallacious. QAnon might be one of their projects; it's weird enough, but just as likely someone else's. The whole recent Navy/UFOs business has all of their fingerprints.

Jon Ronson's book, "Men Who Stare at Goats" is a terrifying exploration of the development of the US pychological warfare apparatus and its experimentation on the American public. Equally as terrifying is the prospect of veterans of the program going into business for themselves.

Just one comment on this:

> Teachers unions may care more about teachers ...

That's precisely the point of a union. It's an organization to protect its members. It's the purpose of the school system overall, including principals, school boards, and so on, to care about teaching kids.

Exactly. I'm for decentralization, but the reality is that if "we" (we techies) tried to push Element on everyone today they would just fall back to WhatsApp. So better to go for Signal today and then switch everyone over to a Matrix (or similar) client in a couple of years. As the past week demonstrated, it's possible to switch masses out of a closed, network-effect-dominated system.

How to write the equation for a rectangle (2007) [pdf]
Twitter is a company with lots of employees and each of those employees are going to have varying views. I'm certain that there are people at twitter who are genuinely concerned about being an enabler of this violence. I'm sure lots of them also personally dislike Trump. I'm sure lots of them desparately want the platform to be as relevant as possible. I'm also sur ethat they desparately don't want to be the arbiters of free speech despite what concervatives claim.

There are going to be a million dynamics in these situations and it's impossible to disaggregate them.
The article is about low frequencies, and it is far from clear that putting tweeters in a waveguide avoids the issues raised in the article - in fact, just about everything you say that is applicable to low frequencies was covered in the article.

> I think it's a good trend to see them happening at big tech companies

Isn't the trend the rise of 'big' companies. I wish there were a lot of small/medium companies, instead, that were competing for workers, then we won't need 'solutions' like unions.

Looks like we are just accepting these 'big' companies as fact of life and moving on to finding solutions to deal with them.

It is also a function of "closed shop" unions in the US. Rarely do you get to pick a union to join when you work at a company; if the company workers are represented, it is often exclusively by a single union.

The result is that unions have the exact same leverage over employees as the companies themselves do, and do not often have sufficient accountability. It is not as simple as voting a union out once it has gotten in, and it takes on a life of its own.

Also, stories like SEIU collaborating with the DFL in Minnesota to get family members of disabled adults declared "in home caretaker employees" of the state so that the union gets a cut of the disability benefits is terrible. There are surely good things that unions can do, but that doesn't mean they are an intrinsic good, or that they are appropriately structured in the US.

Cognitect, the company that shepherds and maintains Clojure, has joined Nubank (https://cognitect.com/blog/2020/07/23/Cognitect-Joins-Nubank) and so they are starting to flesh and grow the core team as well as fund some of the open source projects/devs that the ecosystem relies on (https://cognitect.com/blog/2020/12/15/sponsoring-open-source...).

Add to this a lot of people are changing jobs and pushing for using more alternative languages or exploring new languages and as a result many people are building in what they want instead of what they are forced to use at work. The sibling comment about roam is a good example as they have had a lot of press lately.

> I contend that the problem $PATH solves has nothing to do with programming. $PATH is a solution for finding programs when you type their name on the commandline, nothing more. Windows and Mac programs don't really use or need it for the vast majority of tasks. Programming does not fundamentally require $PATH.

Do you write programs that don't load libraries? That don't interact with files? $PATH is required (or something to search along to find those libraries or files). I've been programming for 25+ years and I can't think of a serious actual application that I've written that doesn't need something like $PATH. Even simple data formatting console apps generally need to load a JSON library or something similar. It's impossible to bundle every library needed for an app in every app. People keep saying that $PATH isn't needed but location services of some kind is absolutely needed! I'd argue that $PATH is the result of 50+ years of engineering/science and research and is the best known way to address that issue as of now.
There's been an ongoing fight in NYC as well between the union and the city/state. So it definitely varies.

Agreed. I use and love Plex (subtitles are less of an issue since they added the ability to automatically find subtitles for shows/movies), but people who say the experience is better are forgetting the amount of time and effort you need to find a reliable torrent site, manage the torrents, and set up the plex server.

It's not a huge amount of work by any means, but for many people it's probably insurmountable. Let alone when you compare it to the work involved to use a streaming service:

1. Sign up
2. Enter CC info
3. Done
> Your observation holds in desktop.

> Minor changes

There have been absolutely massive gains in desktop performance, if you're doing CPU bound tasks locally with work can be split across cores the high number of cores that are now available. The performance for my workloads is about 4x what it was, from 7 years ago, for the same price.
Even at $100 more, i'd love to see one of these as a mobile device with a pop-out keyboard and Wifi/SIM slot. I think that's what's been missing in the open phone community. Something decently priced and decently designed.
Can anyone outline what unionisation means in this case?

If they vote yes, is everyone at this location required to join? Are amazon required to negotiate with the union? Can amazon simply close the plant?

Presumably if unionisation works for these workers (better pay etc) then other centres will follow suit...
> The reason excess deaths are only 3x higher is because of our precautions.

It's a hard case to make. Sweden for example has had less excess death than harsher lockdown countries like Spain & UK.

Lockdowns have done little if anything in US states. New York and Florida have similar stats (worse in NY if anything).
Certainly not. This isn't about fun. This is about giving our youth a normal life.

>Is there such a mechanism for unions?

Unions should be democratic. The workers in the union should collectively decide how it is run, and it should have a fairly flat hierarchical structure. So if you feel that your union does not sufficiently represent your interests, you can get rid of the leadership and change the union for the better. As opposed to companies where you essentially have the choice to tolerate it or leave if you don't like what's happening (without unions, that is).
In the TV show Six Feet Under one of the couples found happiness when they realized they shouldn't live together but they were happy to date each other and see each other regularly, just not all the time, because the boyfriend went through cycles when he enjoyed socializing and cycles when he wanted to be alone.

That strikes me as fine if both people are happy with the arrangement, but if kids are in the picture or one of the partners is unhappy with this arrangement I don't know if it will work.
Perhaps a small number of unions can work. I think if you allow arbitrarily many unions you're kind of back where you start because owners can just entice people to join small enough unions that they lack the power.

In a sense, the monoply power of a union is a counterbalance to the monopoly of management in a single workplace.
My understanding is that it would be illegal to do that under Federal labor law (they can't punish the workers that joined the union for joining the union).
It isn't surprising once you reframe the issue. These unions are successfully suppressed for the exact same reason that people are inclined to form them. The labor class in the US simply doesn't have (or perhaps more accurately doesn't yield) the political power that the labor class does in many other countries. The forming of unions will help them get more power, but the act of creating a union already requires a certain level of power which many US workers haven't yet achieved.

>I know that you want to have an attitude where you are indignant that I am minimizing genocide and war

No.

I re-read your original message. Your examples in some can be prevented by interrupting specific actions, as you describe it.
Indeed speech, clothing, ritual, and any other behavior can be interrupted. For the OP, how would s/he interrupt being Asian?

>people do not choose to die for their beliefs; rather, they choose to take certain actions, and then their killers choose to kill them because of those actions

What is the substantive difference? I am also uncertain on "kill them because of those actions", or more precisely I do not believe there is a way for making such nuanced distinction. Looking through the list of genocides, I am hard pressed to find a set of actions that could have been interrupted to prevent death. At State level, maybe.

> This suggests that our morality needs to not just account for making the choice to "die for what you believe in", but also the choice to kill for what you believe in.

I had no disagreement with this statement in your first post, which is why I did not comment to it.

>concentration camps on our southern border

I do not know what country you live in.

>I don't know exactly what your point is

My original post was in response to describing the current willingness to '"care" about politics' but not to "die for" or "kill for".

(As part of the "kill for", I am certain neither of us are advocating murderous rampage, but more like a para-/military action to liberate.)

Again, appreciate your responses.

Thousands of people are joining Signal after hearing about the Whatsapp privacy policy changes, but the irony is that a significant portion of these people (if not the majority) still use Facebook, upload photos and stuff, chat on messenger, with that app, installed on their phones alongside Signal. Most people don't actually realize why should they be worried about corporations collecting their data. I wonder what fraction of these people will stick to Signal. Signal is adding new servers, lets hope they dont need to retire these in the coming days.
I disagree. I believe the governments should fund existing open source software that are considered to be "critical" infrastructure (as in lots and lots of people rely on it) instead of chasing some random goals and adding bureaucracy on top that would slow down lead developers.

Just give them money and trust them that they'll do whatever it is they've done so far that many people recognised and started relying on their solution to the problem.

Without looking them up, there's exactly three pieces of software in the list above your comment that I don't recognize: FLUX TL, WSO2, midPoint. I'm happy to see all the other names on it, and I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same way about these three after I look them up.
