dante is exiled from a city he lovingly intersperses throughout his fiction in some of the most famous and beautiful and utterly complex poetry of all time by one of the most famously corrupt rulers in all of human history for things he wrote ~in his poems~ and over 700 years later the sum total of human technology allows someone to say his political conviction by a no longer existing state is justified because of these thought crimes on a site that notionally believes in freedom of speech or at the very least thought.

hope it is better wherever you are dante.

The best argument against unions is thay they violate contract liberty, and thereby inhibit market freedom and increase economic rent seeking.

With a couple notable exceptions, like Hollywood, any industry in the US that came to be dominated by unions became uncompetitive: the auto industry, US Steel, and the passenger rail service, which went bankrupt as a result of the demands of the "Brotherhoods".

Numerous states have been straddled with trillions in pension obligations and increasingly inefficient public sectors, due to unions.

Unfortunately, those working for the media are all unionized now so even the prism through which we interpret the world is now propagandized by the left.

> why is my outcome not worse for believing I don't have free will?

You still don't get it. Your brain is doing the thing that I call "making choices", but which I called "causal processes" because you have trouble with words like "choices", whether you believe in free will or not. Those causal processes in your brain have a significant effect on your outcomes, whether you believe in free will or not. And how much of an effect the causal processes in your brain have on your outcomes, as compared with the effect that causal processes in other people's brains have on your outcomes, which is the thing I have said is important, has little or nothing to do directly with whether you or anyone else "believes in free will". It does have to do with whether you and other people respect other people's right to make choices, which I have also said is important.

I'll rephrase your question. What is the reason for the deletion of your comment?

Simple. People were flaming. It was getting downvoted and flagged. If the community sends a clear statement (by acting in concert with one another), then I'd prefer not to get downvoted into oblivion. To me, it's not a hill I want to die on. And it was clear that others were misunderstanding. All I can do is communicate my perspective. If someone comes to the conversation with misguided expectations (even if it's a swarm of people), then I'll bow out. It's simple non-violent communication.

Putting a person in prison because, say, they murdered someone, is not dictating how they should behave. It is imposing a consequence on their behavior.

Author here!

I wrote this post last summer after getting a chance to use Robot on a project to manage some complex state, and wanted to write an "intro to state machines" in the context of React.

We used it for things like scheduled periodic syncing of data to the server, managing app initialization when data could come from the server or localStorage and could fail (in an offline setting), and a couple other things. It gave us a lot of confidence in the code and I thought it'd be worthwhile to try to get the idea of state machines in front of more people, with a simple (and somewhat contrived for the sake of) example.

From the other comments I gather folks are taking this as a recommendation to use a state machine for modal dialogs, or a suggestion that this is necessary in React. My intent was more to introduce the concept of state machines with a simple example, not so much to say this is the right way to build modal dialogs :D

I think state machines can really help simplify some kinds of problems, and I've been on the lookout for places where they're a good fit. I'd be interested to hear examples where a state machine was useful in code you've worked with.
> We've got you covered *asterisk

You're asserting causality based on very few data points.

The US auto industry is still very union-based, and beyond the occasional bailout, seems to be doing well.

Moreover, plenty of industries that didn't become dominated by unions also became uncompetitive.

You say that "those working for the media are all unionized" but I have no idea what you're talking about. Citation?

Unionization does not cure bad management, it merely makes sure that the employees are treated fairly, regardless of the quality of management.

Remember: the reason people have jobs is to feed their families, not to support the company.
Look through the other comments for examples.
I often wonder why gendered pronouns are so common in articles out there.

"how well a player coordinates his movement" could seemingly-obviously instead say: "how well a player coordinates their movement", and with that change, the statement can apply to any player. This seems fairer and more correct (truer, even) to me!.

It looks like the transition is at least underway (for more formal texts):

> These two clauses contradict each other. If it's in the rules, it can't be "out of the blue".

I would strongly disagree with that statement. Just because something is specifically identified as possible doesn't mean that it isn't "out of the blue" when it happens. That depends on a variety of circumstances. In this particular case, I think you can look to the fact that IB, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, etc. also had to restrict trading.

>Which is why you don't let yourself get into this situation. You'll note that other brokerages did things like raise margin requirements on GME, block margin trading on GME entirely, or stop trading on GME options. These are tools that brokerages have available to them to both cool off the market shift the burden of margin requirements onto their customers. Other brokerages did this specifically to avoid ending up in RH's position, which is why RH had to raise more money and they did not. RH either did not have these controls in place, or they waited far too long to use them

I am not sure why you think this is attributable to margin trading, other than the fact that Robinhood offers margin trading. The deposit requirements that are at issue here are independent of whether the shares are purchased with margin or not. If it was in fact margin trading that was causing the problem, why would Robinhood limit buys in general, as opposed to just limiting use of margin? I think the likely explanation for why other brokerages did not have to raise additional funds is because they have a much smaller percentage of customers purchasing meme stocks.
> your brain is only reacting to those external causal events

No, it isn't "only reacting". It is processing the incoming causal events, in a very complex way that "only reacting" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of describing.

> At no point is there a spontaneous reaction that is unpredictable according to the known laws of physics, therefore, you don't have free will.

This definition of "free will" is pointless. Obviously nobody can violate the laws of physics, so if "free will" means violating the laws of physics, of course it's impossible. But nobody cares about that kind of "free will". The kind of free will people care about is having their right to make choices respected. Your metaphysical claims do not address that at all; and from what I can gather of your image of what society should be, it would be a horror worse than the worst tyrannies in history.
I like how the main objection would be instantly nullified if Amazon paid their workers more. Do you think a union would be able to negotiate for more than $500 of extra compensation?
> So I don't know that your explanation for the "risk" here has anything to do with "very high impact"

When talking about risk, I mean immediate as opposed to long term. Obviously, if you pay people to take over vuejs, they can, provided they are qualified that is. But there is still the ramp up period and the risk of losing undocumented knowledge that Evan has, specifically with his understanding of "what doesn't work".

> It also seems pretty strange to me to count VSCode and GitLab in there, because those are worked on by companies with teams behind them that get paid and which will have constant churn.

The vscode and gitlab project are included because they provide good data points for very fast moving projects, that can be used to help understand closed source software development. Also the development pattern behind vuejs certainly exists in the closed source world as well.

To be honest, I've been following some discussions and there is so much disinformation out there, that at first I though someone was just spewing bullshit about it.

Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that there are people out there working on some treatments to save lives until everyone is vaccinated (which is another fight..), but with the amount of people shouting their own uneducated opinion as fact out there, it's hard to pick up the real info from the noise.
Having a software architect assigned to the team who is not smart enough for the task but is trusted by management for all his design decisions because he and the management come from the same prestegious research institute. The guy was called in to redesign a central repository component but did not even take care to investigate the existing implementation and came up with a design that was clearly inferrior and had less functionality. Still he was trusted for his designs over and over again.

You are correct, I am just making an assertion, but I don't have to prove it, I will be satisfied to wait and watch things play out. There is a lot of money and a many industry players working on RISC-V, so eventually the market should provide evidence to prove or invalidate my thesis.

I don't think the ARM architects did everything correctly and the RISC-V did everything wrong. I just chose an example I felt was an issue. On the other hand, I think that RISC-V supporting variable length instructions that are encoded with such that they can be easily decoded in parallel was very good use of encoding space. What frustrates me about RISC-V is that it feels like it ignored the last 20 years of industry experience and made a lot of unforced errors.

I think you are correct that I misestimated the branch density in normal linux binaries (the system I work on is a bit different), so I will take back my claim about code size increase, but I also think large binaries like Chrome are more significant than you seem to imply, especially once you start looking at desktop and mobile platforms. We can argue about people writing bloated code, but the fact is that apps like Twitter and Facebook ship mobile apps that are over a 100MB of executable code. And these things are not getting smaller over time. As code sizes increase that 2MB jump window is going to look very small.

It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years.
I honestly am skeptical. AMZN already pays more than other small businesses and even medium/large businesses. It doesn't make money by paying its workers less - it makes money with efficiency and volume.

Alabama is a right-to-work state. My understanding is that it would be completely legal for Amazon to hire new employees the second someone doesn't show up because of a strike, so I'm not sure their leverage.

These workers are probably making between 30k and 50k a year so $500 isn't nothing.
