In fact Google had to make certain concessions in order for the Google Flights acquisition to get regulatory approval.

IIRC a Chinese firewall between Google data and Google Flights...but like many regulations they were likely written by Google lobbyists aka the industry experts. Because at the end of the day Google flights: 1. Still has the built in widget above organic results and 2. They still bid on their own ad spots jacking up costs on competition which is ultimately passed on to consumers.
Yes, university tenure is also a demand for “consequence—free speech.”

You're talking about whether the most visible champion of Dogecoin, whose formal title at his company is Techking, and who added a fart-on-demand feature to his products, and saying that one of his tweets regarding a currently non-existent party, a Tesla union organization, is unprofessional.

Labels like "unprofessional" are repugnant to some people, because they have been, and continue to be, used to justify arbitrary application of personal taste and frankly BS in the workplace, for example to bully people into wearing neckties.

I doubt this is a good standard to go for when trying to engage Elon. I do understand however that it's your opinion — no argument that you are free to it, and I even think it's productive to air it… in part because it gives people like me a chance to offer a counter perspective.
Right to work is only anti union because it allows employees to choose whether or not to join a union. Forcing an employee to join a union is absolutely not pro-employee.
Any chance you could share what open source tools and frameworks you work with? I would be grateful for that.
Honestly Rust is pretty expressive. There's always some things that you are going to run into. But mostly Rust is a really nice language and environment to work in.
Power in all forms corrupts whether its corporate, governmental, or union. No organization of humans is free of these sorts of things which is why individual freedoms are important. OP's naivety was the ignorance of the aforementioned condition of human organizations.

"Leaked memo shows Amazon knows delivery drivers resort to urinating in bottles"

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/mar/25/amazon-de...

> The email [May 2020] went on to say: “We’ve noticed an uptick recently of all kinds of unsanitary garbage being left inside bags: used masks, gloves, bottles of urine.”

> Workers have previously told the Guardian they needed to urinate inside water bottles on a daily basis for fear of missing delivery rates. A forum on Reddit dedicated to Amazon drivers, which, while impossible to vet completely for authenticity, nonetheless shows hundreds of comments from drivers claiming they frequently have to urinate in water bottles for lack of bathroom breaks while on the job
> what I would consider mac & cheese...

That type is fancy and reserved for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
> Three hours during fog of war with conflicting and unreliable reports when nobody really knows anything.

Nobody knew anything? The capital breach was literally being live-streamed. We knew exactly what was happening. If you didn’t know what was happening it’s because you chose to intentionally ignore what was happening.
You're just delegating the type checking to an ad-hoc runtime.

It's always better to check types rigorously and as soon as possible.

It seems the main point boils down to people with money influencing things through philanthropy and that one's influence is skewed towards their own communities, interests, and experiences (which can create cycles).

It means the employees can choose to leave and choose whether they want to join a union.
I had a friend from France getting his undergraduate degree in the US Marvel at how much learning we were getting done, since we didnt spend half of every semester on strike.

There are good and bad unions everywhere, but I think the closed-shop restrictions in the US that force you to join a particular union as a condition of employment exacerbates the worst qualities of them here.
Sure! Apply to become a crawler. And if you meet certain criteria and your crawlers don’t exceed a quota then have at it. The key is not to make it technically challenging, but to erect a legal barrier.
Following that line of thought, the best option for journalists is to only tell the truth if it coincides with "what's best to tell the public" and lie otherwise.

I believe that centrally planning "public opinion" is similar to centrally planning the economy. It's alluring because it'd solve so many problems, it takes a gigantic ego to think one was able to, and it usually doesn't end well.
Question for these recommendations: what type of visitor stats or analytics do they provide by default? If you are using a static site without embedding some analytics, what can they show you (e.g. just overall bandwidth, number of unique visitors, etc.)? I know Netlify just has on their free tier bandwidth per month, last I checked.

Facebook doing it of its own volition is one thing, and I'd argue they are within the right to do so. Government pressurizing Facebook to censor stuff is entirely other ballgame, which poses a bigger risk, and nobody seems to be paying attention to. (Most attention is given to the content being censored, not the actors behind the censorship).
I've experienced numerous pricing errors at Walmart. You could argue that Walmart belongs in a different category, but a large part of their business is groceries.

I've experienced one pricing error at Publix having shopped at them for the better part of two decades. My item was, indeed free and the cashier sounded excited to be able to use the policy.
Its 2:30pm. Nansi Pelosi under her authority as the ultimate leader of the DC Capitol Police, is on the telephone asking for help. She tells you that the Capitol Police are overrun and that Senator's and House Member's lives are in danger. She's asking that you deploy the DC National Guard.

What do you do?

I start the clock at Nansi Pelosi's telephone call to the DoD for a reason. That's when shit got real and the DoD got eye-witness and high-authority pleas for help. Even if they somehow weren't looking at the news at the time, Nansi Pelosi's phone call is a turning point in the entire situation.
It's not really about fetishising ancient production methods. Cheese made with unpasteurised milk tastes different and, in many people's opinion, better.
That's not been my experience. I write applications with in Go using a SQLite backend and it's not uncommon to see writes transactions that are in the 100s of microseconds. I typically see read transactions with multiple queries around ~50µs. That's all running on very modest $5/month DigitalOcean droplets. The vast majority of web applications do not see thousands of requests per second so I think SQLite is a great fit for most web apps.
No worries, looks like there are plenty of articles on the topic. Thanks for getting me started!

I was thinking about this recently. Everyone wants to replicate the success of Mattermost.

I think the reason Mattermost works is because the customer is an IT department. When you get outside IT, the value prop completely vanishes. Regular people buying software don’t know what open source is.

It would be the latter. You'd need to have a single primary and replicas would need to redirect writes to that node.

I hope that at some point language design will become a self-contained discipline.

It reminds me of back in the early days of the Internet when developers were the only web designers. Most programming languages are designed by the same people implementing them.

The common critique is that language designers might create a syntax incompatible with the limitations of the computer itself, but that’s the same challenge web designers had to learn in designing something that will look great in the constraints of the browser, and not just look good in Photoshop.

I grew up knowing several people in long haul trucking / delivery and this problem isn’t uniquely Amazon.

Chances are if you’ve bought products that are shipped somewhere in the US you’ve been paying for pee labor.

I also don’t think mandatory delivery targets are the sole reason. Even if you go right now onto the Amazon flex subreddit you can find people asking questions about peeing. Those drivers accept in blocks of a few minutes to hours, they could wait, find a bathroom, then take another delivery but it’s less money.

This is a societal problem, it’s just Amazon that is having it exposed for them.
I'm really curious what the power dynamic is that makes it possible for this to happen, and more importantly to go on for so long. How do the military leaders keep common soldiers ideologically isolated from the population for so long? Are there ethnic or social divides in the subtext that make this possible? What story do soldiers tell themselves to justify what is going on?
Take a camera and point it at a friend, now turn it around and point it at yourself.

How did you turn the camera?

You could have turned it towards you by turning it bottom over top and then you would have to vertically flip the image, but you probably would have never even thought to do it.

So instead you chose to turn it left to right so to get a mirror image you have to flip the pixels left to right.

You’re human so flipping a camera upside down seems quite silly but that’s just an artifact of your environment.
Maybe you get your feelings of rage and envy get in the way of clear thinking.

In my experience, that doesn't serve one well.

(I have a gripe with the stock market so take this post with a grain of salt)

idk. In my experience I would much rather get payed for my work in money I can use immediately, rather then being forced to play a game in a system I don’t believe in. I’ve worked for a few companies which gave me stock options (one of them was really good) and in practice what you end up getting is less then a month salary at best. I think companies love to give stock options because it adds bells and whistles to your benefits, it looks like they are giving you more then they are. If I had a choice I would much rather see my salary go up as the company raises in value then to be handed out stock.

That said, I’m not well versed in union logic so I don’t know if this is the reason why unions are against this practice. I am just glad they are.
Anti-trust above all recognizes competition benefits consumers. And so “unfairly competing” is prohibited, because it is bad for the market, thus bad for consumers.
And then there are those who consider the high speeds a considerable safety win (because it greatly reduces inattentiveness for everybody involved), and only advocate for limits because of the massive energy demand of high speed.
> Consulting. Services. Education. Those seem like words that might let you make money.

And that's cool but to a very great degree these often boil down to an exchange of time for money (unless by services you mean SaaS which is really just a product business with a different revenue model). You can make a living but you're on a treadmill that you can't ever really afford to get off of, and it doesn't really scale other than by adding more people.

I mean it's OK, don't get me wrong - it's certainly better than a kick in the balls - and you can make a decent living from it. But I don't find it particularly appealing: I'd much rather be involved in creating products that you can sell over and over again. And, if what you've created is of value to others, why shouldn't you charge them a fee to use it?

(Btw, I'd also add paid support to your list but, again, I wouldn't want to build a business heavily based around providing support because support can really wear you down - or at least it can really wear me down. It's absolutely necessary, but not something I find at all enjoyable.)
I have a nuanced opinion on unions after dealing with a bunch of them in a former life as a construction inspector / structural engineer (EIT).

Some unions are great. IBEW Local 353 comes to mind. The best unions have slogans like "when the boss is well paid, we get what we want in negotiations" and the worst unions have essentially the opposite mindset. I've literally seen members from ATU Transit Union Local 113 throw an empty coffee cup on the ground during a nighttime subway construction project and say "job creation" during their duties.

There is a right way to do unions and a wrong way. Germany seems to get this better than North America. Too often in North America things get divided into pro-this or anti-that, instead of being a discussion on how to do something right or how to properly align incentives so that the right outcome happens.

I'm not anti-union. I like the protection that some unions provide their workers; especially in specialized, high risk trades like welding or electrical. That said, I don't think Tesla would be Tesla with a heavy union throwing unnecessary delays around. Their safety record is quite good and their compensation is better than average even without the stellar stock performance. Before advocating that Tesla should unionize I'd prefer to see structural changes in unionization come to North America so that we have an environment that fosters a healthier relationship between employer and union. I don't want every North American company rusting away like Detroit.
I’d feel a little bad calling any out bc it’s usually not too hard to figure it out if I gave that info even without a name :)
POSIX is thirty three years old.

Can we please consider certain modest improvements?
I don’t see why people expect existing US unions to improve the situation. They have entrenched political interests and represent many different industries. Once they’ve managed to get into an company, they’re repeatedly demonstrated they have no interest in listening to or advocating for the workers they represent.

I’m actually for having unions, but they should be limited in size, and it should be easy for workers at a given site, or with a particular job role to quit the union and form their own.

As it is, with an Amazon union, employees will have two abusive monopolies to fight instead of just one.

You already have a good setup. As they say the only thing you can't buy is time. As long as everyone's core needs are met making more money won't make anyone happier. Even if you don't have kids it's a mental health plus to have some energy to put toward things that aren't work.
They (social media companies) were given an ultimatum: censor or be broken up. It's almost explicit in the Congress/Senate hearings.

> I find it interesting that ads are considered acceptable and commonplace in Android and to a slightly lesser extent iOS apps; but on desktop they are seen as almost malware.

Totally different beast. The Android and iOS variety are embedded in the App. On Windows they are almost always a third party application installed separately with it's own uninstaller and granted near admin rights to the machine.

It's the difference between inviting your friend over to your home and him showing up wearing a Nike shirt, or showing up with a dude you've never met who is spinning a sign. He can roam about your house without your knowledge and doesn't leave when your friend does.
Apparently recruits mostly come from isolated, rural areas. There are also ethnic divides in the sense that the army is in active conflict with several (but not all) ethnic militias.
We've had to ban the application entirely from our work machines. At least when we went through review, even the "clean" versions packaged things that tripped our antivirus software, and at that point, we as an organization decided to stop trusting the author entirely.

There's quite a lot of forum posts where the author defends this practice, so we don't see this reversing any time soon.

By "vendors", I meant drive and controller vendors rather than server/appliance vendors. They're looking for ways to differentiate their products and offer more value add, but extending an SSD's functionality beyond mere block storage (potentially with transparent compression or encryption) requires a lot of buy-in from end users who need to write software to use such capabilities.
I really appreciate the advice from Daniel Pfeifer [0] where you treat all your build-tree sub-projects as out of tree dependencies, by overriding the `find_package` macro.
This way, you can just find project dependencies using the `find_package` as if you were referring to something pre-built. Save a lot of hassle.

macro(find_package)
if(NOT "${ARG0}" IN_LIST as_subproject)
_find_package(${ARGV})
endif()
endmacro()

Yet even many rural places have laws against it (usually at the state level). It's just enforced less strictly outside of the towns and cities.
There are some interesting methods of doing type checking without type annotations by doing type inference. It might be worth writing about - it’s basically a recursive process of identifying types by their context, either in assignment or function calling.

Usually Android ads are embedded in the apps. Close the app and the ad goes away. Uninstall the app and you won't see its ads again. Just including ads in an application doesn't make it adware.

Adware infects the whole system, displaying popups and installing unwanted extensions in your web browser that follow you around. If FileZilla wants to include ads in the actual app that's one thing, but that's not what people are taking issue with.

Programming language theory is its own branch of computer science, but I'm not sure whether that qualifies as a "self-contained discipline": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_theory

That said, he's already gotten the PhD and the professorship, so a lot of those are sunk costs at this point. Incrementally, this is cheap. And it might not be worth backing out of his dead end.
