Socialism as defined by socialists is social ownership of production.

What you're describing is socialism as defined by its libertarian intellectual opponents, and that's a pretty broad definition (any taxation followed by spending is socialism? That's pretty odd... so all military and police forces are socialist?)

So, fine, if that's what you choose to believe, but it's certainly not a policy proposal that is advocated by actual socialists. Even the soft left wing of the Democratic party found/finds the ACA objectionable.

In fact it's explicitly the kind of policy that liberals advocate in order to avoid socialist policy measures and to avoid being called socialists.

I don't agree with the way you're divvying up the value creation to different stakeholders.

The employee combined with the employer are jointly generating $15/hour, and it's impossible to do attribution from an armchair. We just know that the entire company - the cyborg of labor/execs/machinery/land/IP/relationships/etc - is jointly producing that revenue.

Maybe the employer bought some expensive machinery that the employee relies on, has exclusive and cultivated relationships, rents expensive land, etc.

It's therefore presumptive to assert that the employer is contributing only $5/hour to that entire process. They're contributing $5/hour in wages, plus all the other stuff they bring to the table (machinery etc).

"You're arguing that the radical power imbalance shouldn't be addressed because that that radical power imbalance can be exploited."

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that the radical power imbalance doesn't even exist, at least insofar as it is causally related to wages.

Unskilled labor is a fungible commodity just like table salt. That is how labor is priced. Supply and demand. Not power. There's no power structure that's dictating that house cleaners only get $20/hour. I hire a house cleaner for $20/hour because there's an over-supply of house cleaners.

"What's so wrong with paying a fair wage for fair work?"

I believe market prices for labor are fair, by definition, in that they reflect actual supply and demand.

If you think power determines prices, I can see why you would come to a different conclusion. But I believe power is causally mostly irrelevant here, which is why I'm at my conclusion.

Added bonus that market prices tends to lead to optimal resource allocation (barring negative externalities).

"And China's income disparity is getting worse."

I'm not trying to argue it's perfect over there. But there's no disputing that China's economic growth over the last 30 years has caused an incredible humanitarian outcome, which is inconsistent with an exploitation narrative.
This sounds like the bottom up approach, i.e. that "consciousness" is more like a medium that's everywhere, even an atom has a bit of this consciousness, and when such small bits assemble together, a bigger consciousness emerges. In this approach, I'm tempted to equate consciousness with the electromagnetic field - it's this field that allows us to experience the world.

However human mind is something entirely different: it's a self-conscious something built on top of "raw consciousness".

I am no expert at all, or from a medical field. But my understanding is, that long term effects of vaccines are effects that last for a long time, and not effects that tale a long time to manifest.

What we see bow is the rare side effects, like blood clots, in the 30 in 5 million range. These effects are close to impossible to discover in clinical trials, because they are too rare. Again, nothing really unusual.

Once the body developed anti bodies and general resistance, the vaccine doesn't have any effects anymore anyway. So either side effects, also in conjunction with other meds, manifest right after vaccination or they don't at all.
Right now Chatwoot is suited primarily for support and sales use cases where its one on one conversations with the customer.

By 'modern' I was thinking about system with most of the features that Jira and others have, but with fast backend and fast javascript UI.

I don't think that speed is dependent on simplicity. One could make an advanced system with all the features that is still optimized for speed. There are other programs that check all the boxed, just not one for project management. I guess everyone is used to it. :)

Really love when program authors actually explain what is happening behind the scenes like this and even go into details about how they made the small details work.

I may or may not use this program but I did definitely learned another cool thing about Linux just now and that would most certainly be useful to me sometime in the future in an all together totally different context.

Thanks for the software and the explanation!

I didn't know that Richard Stallman or Eric S. Raymond are abusive, toxic and misogynic meritocrats.

All those people who contribute their free time into development of Linux kernel, Gnome, Tex, Audacity, Gimp, Inkscape, Libre Office to name just a few out of uncountable number of other free software, all the Debian packages maintainers, etc., etc. are such a disgusting people. Shame on them! So good we have Megan who enlightened us.

"Unfounded meritocracy". Seriously? Who makes such people "professors"? How someone who is able to put so many nonsense claims into a single sentence can even be let inside academia?
Are we advocating for ultra bright streets because some people might be criminal. It's nice that we suddenly no longer treat criminals like guilty but only society. Can't wait until US and europe turn into third world countries.
And this is for me a dealkiller issue. Because it means that there are going to be ways to e.g. obscure traffic signs in ways that no human will notice, leading to very nightmarish scenarios where "you expect vs the AI expects" and ... crash.

In my opinion until this is somehow solved "full self driving" in presence of other human drivers sharing the road is just a dream.

> who owns any of those companies? the shareholders. are they treated any better?

They don't have to be, because shareholders and customers are two separate groups when it comes to traditional corporations. And even where they intersect, if dividends and growing stock prices outweigh any personal harm done to themselves as customers, they're going to take the money, every time.
Try K3s. I run it on 3x of OVH's cheapest VPS ($3.50/mo) and works great. I have Postgres, Hasura, Keycloak, Riemann, Riemann dashboard and Digdag running- the cluster has been up over a year with no issues.
I'd say it's complicated. Corruption and nepotism is a fact of life in E. Guinea. It's a society with many layers, all in service of the Nguema "dynasty", if I may describe it as such. The elite tend to send their children and relatives to study abroad, sometimes in prestigious schools, so there are many who are well educated and probably capable of leading and successfully carrying out large scale projects (and they do have some experience working abroad in positions of responsibility), but back home it's a system that doesn't foster healthy competition or reward the effort.

Education is also improving fortunately. The country never had a university until the 90s and now there are plans for a few extra campuses (still one university I believe), and I've seen some "propaganda" videos[4] where they seem to paint an optimistic picture of the future -- if we're to believe that.

Most infrastructure projects are carried out by foreign firms, and China has a very strong presence. For instance, the new planned capital, Ciudad de la Paz, was designed by a Portuguese firm[1] and, and the construction itself is apparently being carried out by a Chinese group[2][3].

One could say that the approach they're taking is very similar to what you'd expect from China: huge government spending, but tight control over the economy. I'm not sure if that model is sustainable but we'll see...

While I think that productivity increases when people are happier and more excited about their job/life balance I think 40% would be impossible over the long haul. That said I would love a 4 day work week and I may make that a stipulation in my next contract. 3 days to do what I want sounds glorius.

The 1918 pandemic didn't "go away" until 1957, it circulated as seasonal influenza.

The mutation rate of this coronavirus is also 1/4 per base pair and 1/2 per whole genome of influenza. That is fairly comparable to influenza (given that viral mutation rates span many orders of magnitude they're practically the same).

The variants with the mutations in spike which have higher binding affinity to ACE2 suggest that the virus also has "room to mutate". OTOH, there are 20-ish epitopes on the spike protein and would need to mutate a bunch to achieve complete immune escape. Depending on what wild-assed-guess you take as to which of those is more important you'll come up with the likelihood of if it'll mutate to achieve immune escape or not. Anyone who says they know the answer -- no matter how many degrees they have and books and papers they've published -- is lying (they may wind up being correct, but to assert they know the answer right now is a lie).

Since HCoV-NL63 has been endemic to the human race for likely centuries and similarly binds ACE2 my guess is that this coronavirus will also become endemic.

Given the H1N1 is now seasonal influenza and that HCoV-NL63 is a common cold coronavirus this is likely what is going to happen to SARS-CoV-2 now:

Humans colonized the Arctic before the modern era. We could probably have done it in Antarctica too, if there was a pre-modern way to get there gradually.

> there will be zero appetite...

I almost completely agree. There will be very close to zero appetite. Which, over time, results in a colony :)
... and I agree completely with your point about consciousness lacking a definition.
These are more clever than I remember, and I'm amazed at how many I don't remember at all.

The thing is, it doesn't have to.

Bitcoin (and all other Proof-of-Work cryptos, which is basically all the major ones) only consume tons of power because the incentive to mine creates an arms race where whoever has the most hashing power makes the most money.

Bitcoin could be run on a single computer mining on a 10 year old CPU, but then it would be highly centralized, and decentralization is touted as one of the greatest features of Bitcoin. But with the incentive to run your own miner(s), and make it/them as powerful as you can to get the largest piece of the block reward pie, it ends up being a massive energy sink.

That's why people are pushing for the change to Proof-of-Stake in Ethereum. By taking away the incentive to waste tons of power on mining, it drastically reduces the carbon footprint of it.
The issue is such lighting (blue) also makes your night vision far worse. They’re actually much more dangerous and have increased road traffic accidents where they have been installed. Warmer lighting seems to be worse, as it does not illuminate the target area as brightly, but it ensures your eyes can see further outside of the target area.

White LED street lamp makes the road super clear, but messes up your night vision. You don’t see the pedestrian about to step in the road, then you hit them. Could have been averted with warmer, orange lights.
I think giving feedback is a valid way to contribute, I certainly would welcome feedback if it were my project. Not all contributions must be code.

This is extremely honest and transparent. In addition to being good marketing, it probably attracts customers who won’t make BS support requests.
This was a pleasure to read. I've been an rsync.net customer for ~6 months now, and am using Borg to send de-duped, encrypted backups to rsync.net from a few on-premise linux systems. As compared to other similar backup systems I've used, it's been a pure pleasure to implement and maintain.

Thank you for your great product and support, John!
Pardon my inability to express accurately with words, but I most certainly did not experience oblivion. I am using the word "oblivion" to describe the state of absolutely no experience whatsoever. It was practically religious/mystical/psychedelic in that it truly felt that I had not existed at all during that time.

(And, no offense, I get the George Harrison reference, but saying that consciousness "is everything" begs the very question of evaluating panpsychism critically. I'm posting this because it is counter to my own longheld beliefs that consciousness is inherent to being.)

The rework on the graphics card is killing me. That it was more economical to patch over circuit board design flaws with manual soldering than to re-spin a second revision of the board surprises me.
Maybe. But precise counts are a challenge even today, because different countries use different methods of counting. E.g. some only count corona deaths after a PCR test, some after an autopsy, some require just symptoms of COVID to be there, some count every dead infected person as corona death, even if it was a car accident, etc. So direct comparisons even between countries today are unprecise. I have no idea at all, what things looked like back then.
The thing is you need a client fat enough for normal use but too thin to run the command in question.

For the workflow you describe, why not just ssh or RDP into the beefy machine from the thin client? Wouldn't that make more sense?

There are two broad spirits of open-source license: copyleft and corporate charity.

Copyleft licenses like the GPL encourage those using the code to contribute back to the open-source community.

Charity licenses like the BSD or Apache license are used by developers who want to work for exposure. They only encourage giving credit to the original developers, and implicitly allow closing the source. Letting people do that is the whole spirit of these licenses. People who don't want to be making charitable donations to megacorps shouldn't use charity licenses.
Thank you! I have your product on my list of tasks, so expect one soon!
They're saying it's a double-edged sword. The same features that protect marginalized communities also protect people planning to commit crimes. That's a long-understood dichotomy, one that US courts and law enforcement agencies have been grappling with for a long time.

That's not news. They've just found a person to say it on the record, so that it's a quote rather than a reporter stating "common knowledge". They found somebody who is in the former group but is very aware of the latter, so they're a good go-to to say the thing that we already knew.

What's news is that it's actually happening for certain groups in the US, in particular associated with major platforms removing groups associated with the last US President after a uniquely precarious and violent transition. We on HN knew that already, of course, but we live our lives steeped in this stuff.
It is not me that is asking, rather the Fortune 500 companies where software development is a cost center, that hire us to keep their production systems and factory lines rolling.

I don't think so. Let's be logical - consciousness, what is it good for? It protects the body, keeps itself alive. Then you can't have consciousness everywhere. It needs self replication, evolution and learning in order to exist. You need to have agent and environment in order to have consciousness, an agent with goals and needs, just any rock will not make a decent agent.
Unfortunately I think there is a degree of consensus that that is how it works, and this is used as evidence for the lack of free will.
How I loved Futurama! Much like with the Simpsons, it will helpfully provide a quote for anything, and its hyper focus on scifi and adventure made it more interesting to me.

The whole "they're not physically your bits" argument never made a lick of sense. They never would be after you uploaded them over the Internet.

The whole case depended on the Doctrine of First Sale not applying to CDs, so that's what the courts agreed to. The record companies could have gone after second hand record stores, at least the ones that sold CDs, if they wanted to at that point but it was kind of unnecessary because they were already dying.

What's the difference between a transputer and the latest graphics cards?

Also, don't recent CPUs have a lot of engineering to integrate many cores together efficiently? Most high-end CPUs now are 4-16 cores.

I suspect that maybe just about every computer today is kind of a transputer.

Most people mean it as a rule of thumb. If it becomes a pattern you have to put your foot down. Some people are fine with it. I'm not, and I have walked over the issue. I'll do it for a week or two but after that it's just a indicator of poor management and poor company culture. Also I avoid startups who don't pay by the hour :)
It's a single control plane for the things you're currently managing separately. You mentioned a load balancer, several VMs, and maybe you have some scripts you use to deploy or to add VMs when needed. And, as you suspect, K8S is overkill for many situations.

I have been on top management positions for the last 13 years. No doubt one of they key responsibilities of a top manager is to fire people that became toxic or are simply are wrong for the team as soon as possible.

My question is very specific: what is that immediate red flaf that forces you to act and fire the person?

Would appreciate stories and examples. Thank you.
I am not sure what should Tesla do exactly? Make Autopilot less capable? Rename it to "not-an-Autopilot"?
I fully believe and acknowledge that for some very niche use cases, this might work. In particular, the specific use case of "ssh to a server and run a few commands". But even in that example, if the output of the command is many pages of error or logging output that you need to diagnose, the tiny screen and keyboard are going to become ineffective very quickly.

Even while at a conference and doing conference-y things like modifying, giving, or reviewing presentations, a bigger screen and keyboard are pretty indispensable.
A single neuron is not an independent self replicating organism so I would not say a single neuron is alive (on its own) per my definition, although it is part of a larger living creature.

These are good points. Paid search is something we have considered and may turn too; but others are testing that with a lot more $ from VCs. Our take on ads has always been different [0]:

Unlike the Google founders who started off not wanting to do ads, but then relented under financial pressures, we have never been anti-ads. Ads convey information, they can even entertain. They can be a useful economic signal for a buyer and a way for upstarts and smaller brands to get attention and compete.
