I know the crises has not passed, it could flare up again, and flare up here. But not all the world is doing badly. Some of us are in good shape.
Haha nice. I wonder what made you choose Eindhoven, but that'd be outside of this topic/thread.
Yeah, I didn't say it disproved anything.

I wonder what explains A Bloomberg analysis of government labor statistics reveals that in community after community where Amazon sets up shop, warehouse wages tend to fall. In 68 counties where Amazon has opened one of its largest facilities, average industry compensation slips by more than 6% during the facility’s first two years, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In many cases, Amazon quickly becomes the largest logistics player in these counties, so its size and lower pay likely pull down the average. Among economists, there’s a debate about whether the company is creating a kind of monopsony, where there’s only one buyer—or in this case one employer. though.

The 'warehouse wages tend to fall' cuts out a bunch of variables, you end up with 'warehouse worker pay', and it goes down. It could be that warehouse jobs tend to pay for tenure or something, but that goes to the question I asked; are people leaving other warehouse job to go work at Amazon?

After your edit: I guess picking for $11 is worse than driving a fork lift for $20, so they probably aren't improving overall work conditions if they are hiring so much that the structure of the workforce changes.
>Good ole' Schrödinger's Backups. Backups both exist and don't exist until you try to restore them.

That sentence i steal from you next time i have to tell someone what a backup/restore is. Thanks :)

He has a section on his campaign website addressing Union specifics:

https://joebiden.com/empowerworkers/

Well see what he can actually does, but with the senate in democrat hands, the sky is the limit.
The OP said that he got out 100% right? Why not get out with something along the lines of 96% of your portfolio if you made over 600% profit anyway?

Eh, I would never bet 100% of my investment in a market based on knowledge I obtained myself, there's no no noo way I can see the entire picture.
Alabama is a right-to-work state so I don't think a union can require all employees join in order to work. Back during the big UPS strike in the 90s, the Montgomery, Alabama warehouse had the highest picket crossing rate in the entire country. This location is probably a best case scenario for Amazon because even if the union succeeds in forming, it has a high probability of failure, especially in any labor action it attempts as finding replacement workers will be easy and there is little public support for unions in the community. They won't be able to get away with any intimidation or below board retaliatory actions on those who don't go along with the union action.

The situation is almost so ideal for Amazon that I wouldn't be surprised if someone high up in the company planned for this to be the location to try to unionize in order to poison the whole concept. They won't even need to play games with shutting down the warehouse as union failure at this location is highly probable.
Too little too late.

Yeah, but adoption is slow. Nonetheless, looking forward to it. Hedgewars uses deterministic lockstep, and the various creative ways in which floating point is calculated really mess up games like this. 0AD and Spring discovered this in the past as well - so the result is scripters have to be very careful when using math, and Hedgewars had to expose its own bitops and integer division for lua scripting.

http://hedgewars.org/kb/LuaRules - I see someone wrote some hopefully correct guide on that last point.
The "boxes" to be checked are actually asking open-ended questions about that, and asking you to provide copious written documentation backing up what you are claiming. This process takes weeks or months and is quite expensive.

That latter sentence is true in the "biggest democracy in the world" India as well. I think it's just a common feature in most countries...
There may have been family waiting for word of him. No one knew at the time.
America has a first passed the post tweedist republic.

In order for the act of democracy to perform better, barriers to entry for participating need to be dropped and representation has to be improved.

Big steps that can be made are

- getting money as far away from politics as possible. This will be done by limiting spending and limiting time spent campaigning.

- mathematically designed districts

- instead of first pass the post, many will say instant runoff. Instant runoff is fine, but it is still super linear. To get closer to a direct democracy, liquid voting is far more effective. I personally like log-liquid voting that scales a representative influence logarithmically with their constituent size. This logarithmic scaling allows smaller communities to be heard and dissuades clout chasing.

- typically smaller countries are able to represent the diversity of their citizens better

- term limits on all positions

- remove advertising from news outlets

- Break apart information and monopolies like all of the major social networks and news stations

I think I may understand why we’re slightly talking past each other on this.

I’ve certainly worked in organizations that continued processes out of sheer inertia of “this is the way we’ve always done it.” While someone may have inherited a process and continued using it without understanding why, if you reach back to the initiator they will have a risk they were trying to mitigate. Even if their predecessors are oblivious. Again, I would chalk this up to a failure of leadership to explain the “why” when passing it off rather than a failure of process.

Even in instances where people copy processes just because they are emulating a different org, that original organization had a risk they were mitigating. Blindly following suit like an automaton says more about the person pushing it than the validity of the original intent.

A process can certainly outgrow its intent. If I am prescribed medicine and blindly continue taking that medicine after I’m well, it doesn’t mean the there was no original, valid intent. The risk profile changed; the process did not update keep inline with that changed risk profile.
I'll add one other point which is that in memory constrained platforms Lua is unrivaled in its ratio of power/memory footprint.

Back in games we put the whole game state (including ai routines written by designers using coroutines) in a 400kb preallocated block on a system that had only 8mb of system ram. Worked like a champ.
I worked at and organized a local grocery store in 2015 into the UFCW local. Workers there have six weeks of vacation after a year, much higher than average wages and excellent health benefits. They also have a real shield from arbitrary discipline, which had been a rampant problem.

Seeing all the anti-union propaganda makes me wonder how many people spreading it have ever been in a union. It seems like most of it is just buying into the ambient pro-business propaganda without direct experience.
I think it’s probably already a fuck-up of bonus limiting proportions.
I think that if you do some bad things and also code somewhat, a lot of people will assume that you are basically genius. It is as if people felt the need to balance and since they said something bad about you, they will overcompensate in coding skills department.

But it is unfair to nice good coders who don't get praised as crazy good, cause they were not assholes to people.
Global Covid-19 death toll tops 2M
> China is lying

Prove it. Even if they're lying, they'd have to under report deaths by a factor of 40 to approach the US per-capita death toll. How easy do you think it is to hide 40x the bodies that were reported?

> Austrialia isn't substantively better off than e.g. Sweden

In what way? They have 50x (1k/1M vs 50k/1M) fewer cases per capita than Sweden. They have the same unemployment rate (~7%). I'd call that "substantively better".

In your worldview everyone who does better than the US at containing Covid is either lying or doesn't exist. Think about that.

> That seems facially insane to me

Preventing misery sounds "insane" to you? Or do you think the idea that giving assistance would prevent misery is "insane"? They're both pretty normal ideas - maybe you're the one with the distorted view of the world.

> Clearly none of those things actually help

South Korea (1k cases/1M) and Taiwan (36 cases/1M) would like to have a word with you.

> You have a completely distorted view of how dangerous this virus is.

In October 2020, Covid was already the 3rd leading cause of death for 45+[1]. In the past week, it was the single-largest cause of death. The next 2 (usually heart disease and cancer) take decades to kill you and aren't transmissible.

Maybe you should consider the possibility that you're the one who's been deeply misinformed. You're saying completely untrue stuff with 100% confidence. I think you're in denial.

> it probably won't be cost-effective for most vendors to gather and collate this documentation, as well as answering these questions, just like it's not worth it to ink a custom contract on a smaller deal, where legal fees alone might eat up the entire profit margin or even push it negative.

Indeed. I get these security "wall of questions" for my $10/lifetime SaaS product (it's a dumb little puzzle maker). I can't fathom why anyone thinks a vendor would spend the time answering their questions for that kind of money.

In their defense, it's probably a standard part of the procurement process and they don't even look at the app before sending the questionnaire.
Agreed on all points.

> Signal was paying that much? That's crazy.

Yeah unfortunately they were. Income for that year (only year they filed so far) is 600k versus about 5M expenses, the largest single expense being sms verifications. Zero income from donations, perhaps they still ran that through the freedom of press foundation or what was it again that accepted donations on their behalf until they had the Foundation status? Either way, I wouldn't want to see the january 2021 bill.

Can confirm this is no longer the new thing, but FWIW, jazz music similarly fell out of style ages ago, but that doesn't make new stuff in the genre uninteresting to those who enjoy it irrespective of hype value.

That is, it's no longer nifty and fashionable to listen to this type of "Brostep", but people who liked it without regard to its social status may continue listening to new material as though nothing changed, while others may have grown tired of the sound or the social clout it may have brought them to be "in the know" or part of some zeitgeist and simply kept up with "today's hits".

The same is true of lots of genres IMHO.
Hmm, I hate this concept of "bonuses" because in my experience this isn't really how things work.

However, I do think the incentives internally probably were structured in a way to encourage this change, and I doubt anyone is being seen as being "more successful" due to a rollback.
There's a bit of nuance to this.

An order is presumed to be lawful under military law. The burden of proving it unlawful rests on the person receiving the order. The default is to execute the orders given.

In the absence of some direct reason that it would be unlawful, a military person must carry out the order they are given.

Now of course, as you say, it is the duty of the one ordered to do something that is unlawful to refuse to carry out that order.
>Now teachers in my state make more than an average BS degree and work 9 months of the year...along with better medical and retirement benefits. They still claim they are underpaid

They are. A few years ago I still thought they were oeverpaid and then I married a teacher. She's absolutely underpaid. It is very much not a 9-5 job and, that time off during the summer - some of it get used for required continued education and a good deal of it makes up for the fact that teachers generally don't have vacation time remotely comparable to most other industries.

My wife wakes up and goes to school about 2 hours before classes start. She comes home, makes us dinner, then sits on the couch all evening watching tv while she answers student and parent emails, works on her lesson plan for the next few days/weeks, grades papers, tries to figure out how to squeeze kids in around others during her prep hour or before/after school that are requesting help, find time to squeeze in phone calls during those same time slots with parents that are unhappy with a student's grade or want help for their child.

The weekends are more of the same, a lot of grading/lesson planning/creating content for teaching.

This summer she had 2 weeks of full-time college classes in the middle of summer to keep up with her continued education requirements which required her to purchase about a dozen books that weren't textbooks for the class and required a few binders, several papers, then a 20-page paper. Then weeks before the school year started she had to go start prepping her classroom, attending meetings in person, etc.

Just look at babysitting rates. If you look at the cost of daycare and consider any k-12 child at babysitting rates, teachers are extremely underpaid. Last school year she had roughly 185 students she saw daily. So, the average rate for a local babysitter in Indianapolis, IN is $12.75 per hour as of January 2021 according to Care.com's data.

Assume she had each student for 60 minutes a day - as a babysitter she should have earned $2,358.75 a day if my math is right. She was doing a lot more than babysitting, after marrying her I fully joined the stance that teachers are horribly underpaid.

The point is you can blame US for their economical needs and that US did not cared about the earth itself or you can blame your self too.
Now info is open but before the lockdowns it was open too. Just nobody had time to do nothing and to realise that technicaly nobody was taking care what they where doing for real. Trashing.

At least a dozen big companies are running on large Clojure codebases: Apple, Cisco, Walmart Labs, Funding Circle, Nubank, Metabase, CircleCI, Grammarly, to name a few. Many smaller companies built their entire businesses using Clojure stack.

The days when Clojure was just "a toy to impress your friends" are long gone. It's a mature ecosystem for the serious craft.

Today it's the most widely used FP language; it has gained popularity and doing better than OCaml, Erlang/Elixir, Elm, Haskell, F#, and even Scala.

Clojure is slowly but steadily growing. Without any support from the big players. I think the core Clojure team has fewer people than teams at Facebook and Google for front-end libraries like React and Angular. Podcasts are being recorded, books published, conferences organized.

Skeptics often criticize "not growing, small but very vocal community", they call it "a cult of Rich Hickey" and pronounce the language to be dying. The truth is - many companies realizing the incredible pragmatism of ideas behind Clojure.
And Zuckerberg supposedly played around with the idea of running for president.
The Democratic Party is too large of an umbrella these days. Anybody whose primary concerns are among fiscal responsibility/the deficit, public education, effective foreign policy, civil rights, human rights, political corruption, science based public health/policy, climate change, domestic extremism, an independent judiciary etc. has moved into the democratic party.

The Republican Party is for people whose primary concern is one of a theocratic judiciary, paying less taxes if you make more than $400k/yr, white nationalism, extractive industries, military contractors, unrestricted access to any/all classes of firearms.

In both of those groups there are large pro-business, anti-labor contingents.

Hopefully one day we will move to ranked choice voting and other mechanisms that allow 3rd parties to compete and we can have more meaningful and direct connections between parties and specific policies instead of these two loose coalitions.
They are absolutely selected for that.

This. The number of calls I get from this app for people struggling to enter captchas in non-accessibility friendly websites is not funny. Such websites should be named and shamed somewhere in today's age. This is from India, BTW.

Other situations I got calls for:

- Help with navigating the installation wizard of some software.
- A person trying to locate his right-foot's slipper while he had the other one on. This was a really wild one where I had to ask him to walk around the room, show underneath the bed, around some other objects etc. But to no avail. Finally, he thanked and disconnected saying he was tired :(.
- Help with reading railway tickets, magazine articles, textbook chapters.
Ooh, I’ve done that, and I’m doing it with many such questionnaires I receive :) sometimes it makes sense and we do something about it, but many times you just don’t know what you don’t know, or you don’t know where to start, and it’s not a topic that comes up often on the various public fora.

I was looking for books, talks, guides - anything. I just read the latacora soc2 guide and it’s at least a starting point.
We had better hope that those who are silenced always have some sort of forum to go to, lest violence become inevitable.

It's almost as if that's what the fascistic censors want.

Eventually, those who aren't considered desirable will seek out decentralized, permissionless, alternatives. Kind of like how 99.999999% of crime is funded by FRN cash, rather than AMEX.

The censorship will lead to permissionless, anti-fragile, forums.
There are things like the Epstein drive that is nearly "magic". It is as if you had some device that could do direct matter-energy conversion with 99.999999999999999999999% efficiency.

Beyond that, they do treat maneuvering in space with greater realism that most shows.
French are no measure for strikes, as somebody living just across the borders the norm is some form of strike few months per year, every year. Colleagues can't get to work, public transport goes to standstill so everybody drives (very ecological).

Its a double edged sword at best - government is properly afraid of the citizens. But overall the economy suffers badly. This is just a small part of overall french 'package' - high social benefits, its extremely hard to fire people, tons of paid holidays days per year, early retirement etc. Result is startups start elsewhere, companies move away whatever they can (even state semi-owned like car industry). Another result is tons of monopolies, which distort the market and make very small amount of citizens profit at he cost of everybody else.

Economy is weak compared to Germany, I would say salaries are 1/2, although there shouldn't be the reason - big smart well educated population. But then comes the french mentality and way of doing things...
