This is a common sentiment, but the evidence is with this article. Large scare ubanism and density are public goods, ando nnes that benefit more than the immediate area especially counting the fact that people can and do move. The alternative rather than fostering a cooperation of governance just fosters narrow self-interests and coordination failure.

In the US, things like first past the post (FPTP) and the electoral college hamstring governance at all scales, but especially larger ones. And this culture of mediocrity kneecaps our imagination. Have a good proportional representation, and you'll quickly realize that there is more diversity of politics within than between today's constituencies.

In simple terms, rather than bribe the Joe Manchins, we should make it cheap for everyone to move to the prosperous cities, and turn the depopulated hinterland into parks / tourism and agriculture.
> Recognizing the conflict between labor and capital as a real and significant factor in capitalist society, and [...]

Nah, the real conflict, if any, is labor and capital vs land.
Depending on your biases, you pick a book that'll confirm them.
FWIW, this isn't really any different from what goes on in regular call centers. I've visited some in the Philippines, and breaks are minutely regulated, personal phones are not allowed, bringing food or drinks to your desk is strictly forbidden, and the tables are laid out in tight ranks so they can easily be supervised by roaming supervisors. It's all about the KPIs, and there's a constant battle between the agents trying to game theirs upward and management trying to squeeze more work out of people, while simultaneously trying to hit their own targets and extract more billable hours from the client.
That's fine for companies in industries that are reasonably mature. But if you want to start a new company in a dynamic industry, Germany is very much not where you want to be.

German GDP per capita is about 45k, as compared to 65k per capita in the US. But that hides a lot. Germany's most productive city is Berlin. Berlin's GDP per capita is....45k. The US on the other hand has cities like San Francisco, with a GDP per capita of 98k, fully 2x that of Germany's best city.

That isn't an accident. Germany and most of Europe have no tech sector to speak of as a direct consequence of their labor and regulatory policies. The EU is a huge economic block, comparable in scale collectively to the US or China, and it has a highly educated population. And yet, it has near zero presence in the most important industry of the 21st century. That's a staggering indictment of their economic policy. 2nd and 3rd tier US cities have more tech than Europe does.

Tesla would never have gotten off the ground anywhere in the EU, and our climate change prospects would be a lot worse off for it. If we want to solve the major problems facing the world, it's going to require major innovation, and that isn't going to come from EU style market regulation.

> But Tesla could outright refuse under any circumstances to give stock options to unionized employees, no?

Not sure what the laws are. There might be laws saying that you can't discriminate against people in unions, so in order not to hand stock options to unionized employees, they might have to withhold stock options from all employees?

You claimed that PMC is a part of PubMed, but there's nothing that says so. Anyway, NIH-funded research is required to be published on PMC, not PubMed, so the cost of PMC is the one to be examined for the question of a mandatory open access policy. So all of what PubMed does is entirely irrelevant to this question, since PMC is where these have to be published to.
No serious person looks at average income numbers when doing this sort of analysis. In fact, in this domain (and many others), any coarse-grained summary statistic misses far too much nuance to have much practical utility.
Everybody involved knows these are dead-end jobs. Turnover of over 100% per year is common, and it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy of everybody being treated like disposable peons.

Tesla is a publicly traded company. It's relatively easy to put a market value on their stock options.

Like twice as many stock options? I'm a bit confused. Stock options are fungible. You can make granting of stock options worth arbitrary many dollars, by eg increasing the volume or lowering the strike price etc.
Same here. Not sure where they’re getting that from. Possibly region specific?
there were also the 4.2 kiloyear event (2200BC) that caused the collase of the old kingom and akkadian empire. [1] the bronze age collapse around 1200BC is now also partly explained by a climate event, that drove the sea people into warmer regions [2]; the black death in the middle ages may also have something to do with climate [3]; It looks as if every millenium there is a climate event that is causing some big changes.

I like that tests for cognition are both getting "better" and also more diverse. It used to be focussed on really crude things like mirror-self recognition, or attempts to bridge the speech gap.

Now, it seems to me to be more accepting that things like implied lying, or if-this-then-that conditional logic, or evidence of introspection or altruism (refusal to accept higher grade outcomes than the peer-set beyond some limit, sharing) are being done, with good grounding (not clever-hans prompted/learned behaviour, proper double-blind science)

Magpies (Australian members of the corvid group, not European Magpies) appear to hold courts and punish misbehaviour. I believe dolphins do similar things. And, their interaction with humans can go beyond "you feed me" to include play, and what seems to be genuine interest in the world beyond the water.

Play is (I think) an underrated measure of intelligence. It implies having judgement of the work-life balance (for an animal, finding food would be work surely)
> But Tesla could outright refuse under any circumstances to give stock options to unionized employees, no?

I mean yes. And then a union could strike. At which point elon would have a decision to make: is proving a dumb point worth his business?

> Also FWIW Musk clarified

Presumably on lawyers advice.

> no UAW employees have stock options at any other company.

But that,as others have explained, isn't relevant. Nothing stops the Tesla union from maintaining those perks, and options aren't valuable at most auto companies anyway, so aiming for different perks is superior.
You're talking about a hypothetical that just doesn't apply - the person I responded to said themselves that they have equity in a company. They were not making poverty wages.

So it depends a bit on whether you talk about real world US unions like the UAW, or about what unions could be in theory and might be in other parts of the world.

Eg German unions have a reputation, at least compared to the US, of cooperating much more with their host companies. Similar also for Scandinavian unions.
I've always been hearing these claims that "stand-up childbirth" is so much better. This kind of confirms the case?
IANAL, but if it's not in writing, I believe you have to prove that musk never intended to deliver, and that's gonna be hard to prove. Otherwise you can nail people down to a few hundred prosecutable offenses a year and that is not a recipe for social success when there are sufficient numbers of vindictive jerks around.

> I don't think it's fair to call a modern mixed economy "Marxist".

It's at least as fair as it is to call Leninism Marxist.

> Marx didn't really advocate anything in particular in terms of economic organization.

Yes, he did.

> Leninism was able to fill the void in the way that it did.

Leninism didn't fill a void, it made deliberate changes to apply to very different conditions those addresses by Marx’s writing (which addressed mature capitalist societies and where he saw that they should go next to resolve problems he saw as inherent to their system.)

> but he didn't really present an alternative.

Yes, he did, though Marx was very big on path dependency, so his recommendations were more specific when directed at more specific conditions. Capital is pretty pure critique of the then-status-quo, The Communist Manifesto has a fairly broad program, but narrower and less-well-known works like the Demands of the Communist Party in Germany, Programme of the French Workers Party have quite specific policy proposals.
I love that short story. But the story that this really made me think of was "A Wrinkle in Time":

> The Darkness seemed to seethe and writhe. Was this meant to /comfort/ them?

> Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure. Then, slowly, the shining dwindled until it, too, was gone, and there was nothing but stars and starlight. No shadows. No fear. Only the stars and the clear darkness of space, quite different from the fearful darkness of the Thing.

...

> "It was a star," Mrs. Whatsit said sadly. "A star giving up its life in battle with the Thing. It won, oh, yes, my children, it won. But it lost its life in the winning."
Some restrictions are sensible - for example call centers which routinely collect credit card information must reduce the surface area by which an employee can extract data from the facility. Same for content moderation gigs where the content also cannot be extracted.

Yes they should pay more and treat there employees better but don’t act like the average consumer does not support many of these provisions.

I apologize for my flippant response. You’re right I didn’t think about the “country folks”. I was merely highlighting that more steps need to be taken at the burden of lawful, sane, well meaning, no-harm-to-anyone gun owners to try to stem the flow of guns into the hands of those that aren’t mentally fit to own them.

A psychologist likely won’t be able to figure out things very quickly you’re right. Perhaps a discussion could be had to find a solution there to prevent more who would do harm with them from getting said guns.

I also said nothing about gun-shows. They perform the same background checks but have been very lax in the past. And then private gun sales on recently required further vetting at least in my home state of Oregon.

In the countryside do you really need an AR15 for self defense? Surely a shotgun at home makes more sense. And then to protect livestock a high powered rifle?

I don’t know what all the solutions might be but I do know that I am willing to pay in much longer lead times to get a gun if it means the next mass shooter is less likely to.
Actually Swedish govt has really good IT. I use the actual app a lot with 3 kids in the school system here in Stockholm. It's not that bad, functional UI, but non-IT folks could easily have problems. Some stupid decisions - like a whole new app for reporting absences - where you get redirected there, but with SSO.
I suspect the contractors here are the bad boys, but there should be somebody in Stockholmsstad who stops these ridiculous changes. Probably the project mgr in Stockholmsstad is not technically literate enough and is getting hoodwinked about this app being a security threat.

I hope this publicity changes things.
The Island Affair (2006)
536 may have been the worst year in history, but it wasn't the worst of all time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck#Humans
Everyone should have housing in a decent location, but making this about ownership is silly. Land is a finite public good. Period. Denser buildings that no-one should entirely own are usually better.

Taking a step back, flows are good, stocks are bad, unless there is a "real" capital investment at stake. Ownership, a single payment (ignoring morages) for indefinite rights, is a very weird financial instrument (note the contrast between "forever" and "single" transfer). It's funny fiction that just complicates the math.

Rents, a flow, are actually good. The problem is not rents but rentierism, i.e. when rents flow to owners (to stock) regardless of productive investment. The solution is to move away from equity to debt base financing: The constructors of the home are paid a fixed profit (fixed interest) and nothing more (bounded stock), buildings are coops (no ownership distinct from residency) and rents continuously replenish the maintainence pool after the construction debt is paid (flows all the way down!).

Again, speculation on finite land post construction investment recoupment is a cancer that has no place in the public sphere.

People who like "actually existing capitalism" are being severely uncreative with the math.
Everyone has to do the right thing. That's the categorical imperative.
An electric car is as green as the grid that powers it. But a hybrid will never be green even if the grid is 100% green because it still burns fossil fuels. Same with a turbine that consumes a mixture containing natural gas. If your generator uses fossil fuels it's emitting carbon dioxide.
It seems like it might be good to hold some USD, even if Bitcoiners/anti-inflationist are right.

Actually no. Services like Strike (https://beta.strike.me) allow you to use bitcoin to pay in dollars (or any fiat currency) in realtime.

So you can be bitcoin-only and still pay dollars.
Tesla doesn't owe them a job. They can make their own company, make it unionized, and make it popular.

Block-chain Dev, Android Dev, AI/ML devs are domain specific but in each of those there are atleast 3-4 domains mapping out in general from the PCM.

There will be a domain specific competency matrix on top of PCM.
What do you mean by less bargaining power?

As an individual I feel like I have relatively more bargaining power, because when eg talking about pay I just need to convince the company to bump one total comp package, mine.

So I can negotiate much more aggressively and get more done, then someone who tried to get the company to raise thousands of pay packages.

Also, I have an easy time convincing the company that I am leaving (or not joining), if they don't accede to my demands.

No union can credibly threaten that all unionized employees will quit, if they don't get a 40% pay rise.
It's not that nano is bad, but for server administration you cannot be sure what exists on the other end, and due to security rules you can't always install what you want, except, there will always be vi. Nano might not be there when you need it (I have learned this the hard way).

I’ve lived in Japan for a long time, but I’ve never been sure, either, what the purpose of those seemingly useless workers is. I suspect, though, that it’s not charity but rather customer service. The person saying “welcome” repeatedly at the bank entrance also occasionally directs customers to the proper window or helps them operate the ATMs; those customers come away a bit happier, and the tellers are interrupted a bit less. The elderly guys at construction sites may have a similar function: by occasionally directing traffic and keeping passersby away from danger, they reduce slightly the possibility of complaints from neighbors and costly accidents.

Back in the early 1980s, I used to see a book in Tokyo bookstores called Japan’s Wasted Workers by Jon Woronoff. I assumed it was about those bank welcomers and the like. Peeking into it now at the Open Library [1], though, I see that it focuses on white-collar workers.

> Germany's most productive city is Berlin

Where did you get this from? Germany is actually the only country in the EU where GDP per capita is higher when the capital is excluded. Munich is at 80,000€, Frankfurt (Main) 95,000€, Hamburg 60,000€, Berlin 40,000€ [1].

Germany is highly federated, with large companies near or in small towns or cities that only exist because the company was founded there decades or centuries ago.

You are talking about tech but this is about Tesla. I don't get why people are still treating Tesla like a tech company. They are making cars that happen to have some driving assistance. By that metric VW, BMW, and Daimler are also tech companies, each way larger than Tesla by cars sold, people employed, and GDP impact. Tesla is as much tech as WeWork was tech.

not really - the apartments being built are expensive luxury apartments, mark up I'm told is around 100%. If they can't get the profit they move elsewhere and start construction there, holding costs are obviously low for undeveloped land. If the government desired cheap rental apartments then the incentives would be different.

Thank you for pointing out this blog post. I used NFS for many years but moved away a while ago for opportunistic reasons. However, after reading that post, I will make every effort to go back to them. "Freedom of speech" does not include hate speech or racist speech or any speech advocating against a group of people in my worldview, and I therefore agree 100% with NFS's stance.

All freedoms have limits, agreed to by reasonable people living in a reasonable society. Freedom of speech,is only 'controversial' to people who think limits on racist speech and the like is unreasonable.
