They mention in the article that Amazon in Europe is largely unionized, and they don't have the mob. What makes you say we can't do the same here?
The only socialist countries are China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos and arguably Venezuela and Bolivia.

Don’t confuse social democracy in Europe with socialism. Or unions, for that matter.
Not to be like your judgmental friends, but if you're going to use the approach that gives optimizations for free, why not just target WebAssembly / LLVM IR / Cranelift IR?

This going to be a culmination of damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

If you don’t Amazon treats you as expendable, if you do, you will only accelerate automation further resulting in fewer unskilled jobs.
I find it perplexing that you describe catholicism as progressive, since it maintains strict sexual purity standards, a male clergy, anti abortion and homosexuality etc.(Perhaps I misread you)

Isnt it true that SA is having extreme growth of the prosperity gospel form of fundamentalism too?
It would be a lot more expensive than it is for Walmart to close a store. This is a large distribution center. Besides, this vote has gotten so much attention that closing it after they unionize would surely attract the attention of the NLRB.
Let’s turn that around: Let me know if I can help! ;)
Automatable task gets automated, 100% unskilled labor gets replaced with robots. I don't believe that's backfiring, I believe it's the only way for Amazon to keep doing what it does without being "evil".
Both a) and b) would require a real increase in tensions. Israel and Egypt have a cold peace, with several common enemies/interests; the prospect of a direct military confrontation is nil, and neither side will go out of their way to harm the other economically.

Why not require Amazon to build bathrooms every 2 miles. Everything is possible under socialism. Just command it.
Google Fiber has been pretty awesome for a few months. 100+ Mbps up and down consistently over wireless and wired. It's supposed to be 1 Gbps, but the fiber is another room and I can't run ethernet to it. So, the Google WiFi APs mesh is what I use.

Well, then it will be fully mask off for amazon. And it is historically unwise from a societal standpoint to surpress all ways of peaceful worker participation. We'll see what road the US/amazon will go.
yeah but that seems pretty lame. Since basically anyone can copy the digital asset and link it on social media. What would be nicer is if applications like github adhered to the NFT in someway, like showing a badge for the NFT.
To be clear, Amazon REQUIRES workers to attend its "information sessions" while at work. Union organizers have no comparable power. To say that it's fair because the time is paid for is just whistling Dixie--Amazon is using its power to feed employees their propaganda with great efficiency. This is a brazen psychological asymmetry, and parity of information (in all forms--including time spent considering valid arguments pro or con, etc.) means everything when it comes to fairness in group decision-making processes.

Some people find what you describe as undesirable, but I think I'd love it. Possibly a grass is greener on the other side situation though, I admit.

In NYC, I'd say there is a lot more diversity in terms of industries people work in, but tech is noticeably a tiny minority. Finance is obviously huge - and is probably the industry closest to being in the situation you describe.

Case in point - I am, and have been part of, various social organizations, and AFAIK I'm the only SWE I've encountered. Tons of finance people, tons of medical professionals (though interestingly enough, many many dentists and nurses but M.D.s are rare), tons of people in marketing and education. But no SWEs. A tiny handful of tech professionals from the helpdesk/sysadmin/networkadmin side of things.
I'm willing to pay for major updates that include new features, even on a per-device basis. I'm not willing to pay for things I already bought that don't work correctly (bug fixes).

This ad-supported model isn't needed or wanted.
I would agree.... modern unions are almost a joke (rug color doesn't match what we agreed on, so back to negotiations!)... or police unions, where officers with significantly questionable backgrounds are re-hired...

But against amazon, how do you fight? They probably are paying 50 people right now to do cost calculations on if it's more profitable to shut down the warehouse and move a few miles down the road, vs. accept the union.... and they have the capital to seriously consider it...

If the government wont do anything to protect workers, unions are basically like class action lawsuits... a terrible option, but the only one remaining (except for the groups that are legally forbidden from unionizing)
You can ban me then (or just let this be my last post).

This HN user spend a year blasting the lab leak hypothesis, going so far as to point to Wikipedia's allowed sources, to try to suppress a submitted link here. Claiming the submitted links are from far-right organizations, not even touching the content. They use similar arguments and text on different articles, such as a weird suspicious support and praise for Peter Daszak, or just snip news article quotes as their argument.

I deem such behavior enemies of truth-finding and sincere curiosity.

The other poster he was doing his one-two narrative building with 11 months ago, is still active (very active now), his latest posts when linking, being in defense of Xiongxian cotton, interspersed with cookie-cutter hacker-linux stuff (because lots of hackers do care about Chinese cotton...).

Even if not a troll network, it is acting indistinguishable from it.

If HN is a community with a fixed recognizable name, then I am allowed to figure out the history. Did this person wanted to defund the police? Did this person yelled that Bitcoin was a bubble hoax? Did this person spend the better part of a year copy-pasting talking points against a lab leak, which add nothing to the conversation? Know your history, so you don't repeat mistakes in the present. Such as going into debate with this user about animals at meat market being the source, when they are not interested in the truth, just pushing their politicized narrative.

I want to be in a community with nay-sayers, rule-breakers, divergent critical thinkers, people who actually debate and make their original points, not copy-paste popular media and shit on bitcoin. This isn't it. The only entropy for me here is from comments already flagged.

Yes, I was way out of line with this, no site should stand for it. It was meant to be my last post here. I would keep calling out posters like that as enemies to truth, science, and investigation, since I find this more important than guidelines, or average karma. So, should make my own site or find another community. I won't apologize, but do sincerely thank you for your strong community management, and I hope you will see less of this in the future.
7 years from now everyone is infertile. Wonder why
Despite (in my opinion) missing the point & also leaning a bit toward "yay heterosexuality!", what that poster said wasn't exactly insinuating anything bad about any other group.

When a child has a parent that's died, or a parent that leaves, or a parent that insert 90% of reasons for parental absence, it's natural that they'll have a harder time than anyone else. It's not that the widow would be a bad parent, it's that the kid would have to deal with the terrible situation of having a parent die.

If you were really wanting to get to the source of truth there, though, you'd also show how children that get adopted by a non-couple perform. If I had to guess, they're probably doing the best by far, because adoption as a single person is only really possible if you're incredibly stable.
heartbroken by the way Amazon is treating its own employees, but realistically this will not end way either way.
> Why does it matter whether it's stacking boxes or sitting in front of a TV?

Should it be OK if the company shows an anti-LGBTQ video or religious propaganda? There should obviously be limits to what an employer can coerce their employees into watching, and I think the vast majority of employees would agree that they shouldn't have to watch anti-union or other politically-charged propaganda.
It's "mandatory" if they want to keep their jobs, but they can "freely" choose to quit. Or, so the party line goes. It's also "mandatory" that you drive on the correct side of the road, but you can "freely" choose not to, and risk arrest, injury, or death.
I believe the above comment was suggesting that if the union vote passes, Amazon will swiftly begin to get rid of as many human workers as possible and invest heavily in robotics to replace them.

Actually, that makes it a great example right now. Air travel is down drastically. I would expect most of them would be out of work if they weren't unionized. That's not the case. Many of them are being paid quite a lot to sit at home right now. And no major airline is declaring bankruptcy, despite the prolonged decline.
Early CSS had a huge problem with this.

"Don't use tables, use CSS!" was a big message. But CSS's tools for tabular layout were extremely poor and difficult to use, leading to much frustration. It was a joke how hard it was to create a simple responsive three column layout in CSS, a thing easily accomplished with tables and very common on the web. Getting that three column layout right seemed like black magic in CSS1.

Here's some samples using the small GPT-2 (emphasis: small GPT-2!) in AiTextGen, seeded using "The Gaza Conflict Gave Hamas what they needed " (1st 3 samples, not cherry picked):

> The Gaza Conflict Gave Hamas what they needed to survive and that's not something Israel can afford.

> The Gaza Conflict Gave Hamas what they needed to take control of Gaza.
In the past few days I have had a few conversations with people who have been in Gaza who are very critical of the IDF. These people are often very, very angry. They are also very angry about the way the IDF is doing what it is supposed to be doing and what it is supposed to be doing. So in my mind, the issue of Hamas being in control of Gaza is not something that should go away. It is something that needs to be addressed.
Q: What have you been hearing about since the war started?
A: The IDF has been saying that it is going to allow Hamas to take over Gaza.
Q: What has been particularly troubling to you lately?
A: I have been hearing about this as well.
Q: What has been more troubling to you recently?
A: My friends have been saying that they want to call it Operation Protective Edge.
Q: And, you know, what do they mean by that?
A: They mean that they want to use it to make sure that they have enough force to take control of Gaza.
Q: And that means that they want to make sure that they have enough

> The Gaza Conflict Gave Hamas what they needed?"

The UN is now considering whether to send military advisers to Gaza to assist the country's military forces. The Security Council is considering whether to send the equipment, along with the training, to a military operation in the region. The US is also considering sending a team of US special forces to assist the Palestinian armed forces in the conflict.

The United Nations is now considering whether to send military advisers to Gaza to assist the country's military forces.

Kerry's comments come as the US has been in touch with the Palestinians to offer support in exchange for a full ceasefire, and as the US continues to support the PA and Hamas, the two groups have been engaged in a long-running conflict with Israel in the Gaza Strip.

In January, Kerry condemned Israel's "continued offensive against Gaza," saying the blockade was the "worst violation of international law on the part of the Israeli government and the civilian population of Gaza."

The US is now considering whether to send military advisers to Gaza to assist the country's military forces. According to Reuters, the US Secretary of State John Kerry said this week that "there is no guarantee" that the US will send special forces "to the Gaza Strip

So yeah - not fantastic, but interestingly not terrible either. The non-factual but coherent nature of it is very troubling.
Europe is becoming more and more socialist. Socialist parties can be elected in democracies.
I think that both will be made shorter lived by their fee structures. A colleague of mine today moved STORJ and it cost him 15 US dollars to move his crypto into a sell position.

Bitcoin's fees are currently worse than eth and their development direction is ... toxic ...

Bitcoin cash is currently what I expect to take the lead....though that could be quite a long time. 25-140 years....give or take.
Consider the value of your comment:

To someone with no knowledge about your claim (me included), it seems like an extraordinary claim with no extraordinary evidence, or really any information at all, to back it up.

To someone with knowledge of your claim, assuming it is a true one, it adds nothing to what they already know. So maybe it's obvious to an expert, but then they don't need to be told.

> It is unethical for you not to take every possible measure...

Sidestepping open source for a moment, I don't believe this is the best way to think about security.

Or safety, for that matter. There's a reason we don't walk around in crash helmets all day despite it being a "possible measure" we could take to reduce head injuries.

Security measures can expand unto infinity often in ways that impose costs on other areas of the project.

Any given project has finite resources.

Therefore a better way to think about individual security processes, mitigations or measures is in terms of their cost-benefit.

An ineffective or costly security measure can have net-negative security impact if it consumes resources that could have been used doing something more effective or important.

Therefore the activities you undertake must maximise net benefit - while ensuring you have an effective answer for the highest priority risks that fall out of your threat model.

IMHO the hardest part of executing on this is quantifying risks and benefits, most security decisions are not data driven and must rely on expert judgement or intuition :/
Waymo is more reliant on lidar necessarily because lidar provides so much more data. You'd expect any algorithm to rely more on better data sources.
I'd go for that, too, provided the union gets access to the same mailing list.
It takes 10s to compile the crate that defines the macros, it doesn't take 10s to evaluate them.

And the reason they're so slow to compile is because they're compiled to native code, and you aren't given a parser, just a list of tokens, so basically all of them depend on some extra parsing crates.
Amazon wouldn't give a damn about the vote if they could just automate everything.

It's a rather pathetic threat to make. Either it happens or it doesnt - unionization won't make automation technology intrinsically better.
Case in point: workers at a VW plant rejected unionization in 2014 despite the company all but supporting it:

> Volkswagen did not oppose the U.A.W. partly because its officials were eager to create a German-style works council, a committee of managers and blue-collar and white-collar workers who develop factory policies, on issues like work schedules and vacations. Volkswagen, which has unions and works councils at virtually all of its 105 other plants worldwide, views such councils as crucial for improving morale and cooperation and increasing productivity.

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/15/business/volkswagen-worke...

The campaign against unionization was largely driven by local politicians spreading F.U.D., which was relatively easy given widespread anti-union sentiments in the South and general union skepticism among the general U.S. population.

They tested all of the cars in the same geographic location, following the same course on roads, highways, and freeways, ever time, during the same month. No other brand had the same systematic issue with overstated mileage despite the temperature differences, which affected all of the Teslas, not just the one driven during the coldest days (which were still no lower than 45 degrees F).

Most people would say these two cars have virtually the same range, but a test on hilly public roads could turn that into a 20+ miles difference in range.

That would have benefited Tesla, as their vehicles have larger batteries than their competitors. And yet...they systemically underperformed their EPA ratings.
Nice one, mate
Imagine being one of the richest people in the world and still fussing over what is chump change for you. Trading a marginal increment in wealth over his reputation. Practically it doesn't matter whether you have 100, 90 or even 50 billion USD, you can afford anything.

I guess money corrupts.
I mean, theres some truth on both sides.

From a christian/jewish/islamic perspective whatever you focus most on is your 'idol' - the bible talks alot about worshipping money, for instance.

In that sense, then whatever you focus on in life is idolatrous worship, an atheistic religion.

> No more multi-day dead tree transactions for settling checks, equities, real estate transactions, etc...

Those things don't really exist right now, though.

The US is moving from ACH to RTP for instant settlements, so the multi-day thing is gone.

Checks aren't processed in paper terms, they're scanned and converted to ACH transactions - and soon RTP.

Equities are instant and electronic.

Real estate transactions are legal transactions, and for the once every 5 years you need to get a title company to record the deed is that really a big deal? The real burden isn't the title recording.

There's absolutely no reason any of these things have to be achieved with a blockchain. There's absolutely no reason to think any of these things would even be better achieved with a blockchain. It's not analogous to the internet because the internet was fundamentally more efficient than what came before it, not less.
Right, because whats stopping them to do that anyways.. is this union vote?

You are not making any sense. If it's all so great in AI robotics land, it would be here already.
Love how you uses sources the HN audience is extremely sympathetic with, in order to argue against the groupthink. a great comment.
Unions are socialism?
Arguably that would infringe on Amazon’s own First Amendment interest. Their house after all.

That said I have no idea how this case is going to turn out. I’m not sure if they would have been better off arguing it was a regulatory taking because there was some indication they could have narrowly won that. SCOTUS may not issue an opinion, but punt this back down.

Arguing that it was a taking was a bold move. I can see it, but that is a tough argument to make and win on.
The terrain along the Negev route is extremely hostile. Bypass proposals have mostly focused on rail lines from Eilat/Aqaba to the large and well-developed Israeli ports on the Mediterranean, but even constructing rail lines there is quite difficult.

An underappreciated fact of Israeli and Palestinian geography is its mountains and hills; any major transportation project [1] requires extensive tunnel and bridge work.

[1] Examples: the TLV/Jerusalem high speed rail, the Haifa highway bypass, or a proposed transportation corridor connecting the main West Bank population centers along the ridge of the Judean and Samarian mountain ranges.
