> William and Lavonette Stokes, who started work at the Bessemer warehouse in July, said the union had failed to convince them how it could improve their working conditions. Amazon already provides good benefits, relatively high pay that starts at $15 an hour and opportunities to advance, said the couple, who have five children.

“Amazon is the only job I know where they pay your health insurance from Day 1,” Ms. Stokes, 52, said. She added that she had been turned off by how organizers tried to cast the union drive as an extension of the Black Lives Matter movement because most of the workers are Black.

“This was not an African-American issue,’’ said Ms. Stokes, who is Black. “I feel you can work there comfortably without being harassed.”
I very much doubt shame was involved. At least I don't think I know anyone who would feel shame over doing this
Collaboration is pretty difficult to retrofit onto an existing product. A collaborative text editor like Google Docs needs to be designed for that purpose in mind, and the state-of-the-art techniques (CRDTs and OT) are still undergoing active research. See also the xi-editor retrospective: https://raphlinus.github.io/xi/2020/06/27/xi-retrospective.h...

I imagine Figma, being built around CRDTs and a web platform, probably had a number of intentional design differences from Photoshop etc.
Couldn’t one make the review, take the money, then delete the review after redeeming the card?
Sharing single displays or specific windows on Wayland is easy - Chrome and Firefox, or app like OBS can do it; if your conference app cannot do it, ask the vendor why.
How about "Rooster?" (It's in their list.) I also like the "Rococo" idea.

I'm pretty sure the people who named Coq knew exactly what they were doing. Feigning surprise at how it's interpreted is disingenuous.
Not gonna happen. Startup-driven agile web development practices and accessibility don't go hand in hand.
Is what has changed maybe that XWayland has been refactored out of core X, making it easier to support without dealing with the huge X codebase? Or maybe it's been in the works for a while and everything's just landing at once.
I, too, was confused that this was missing, since it seems like a lot of the Bluetooth data will be brand specific, and they don't mention even the brand (let alone exact model).
want to make Danes feel safe? Actually do something about crime that affect normal people

In 1990's America, this was called "community policing." The idea was that if you cracked down on small, quality-of-life crimes, the bigger crimes would also come down. The logic was that people who commit big crimes don't think twice about also committing small crimes.

This led to New York's famous "piss and beer" patrols, which targeted small crimes like people drinking beer and urinating in public. Which eventually led to allegations of racial profiling, and the patrols being eliminated.

Racial profiling is bad. But in the cities where I've seen the quality-of-life crimes addressed, it's actually worked. But I don't think any city does it anymore because the practice has been labeled and tainted.
+1 for Affinity Designer. I was stuck on an old version of Adobe Fireworks for years because I refused to give in to their SaaS model.
The Affinity suite has been worth every penny, and I actually own the software, which is great
i generally like-ish Laravel, in part because it's PHP so you know it's easy to hack, but...

one potential issue with Laravel is there are 8 trillion pieces of tech you will have to read about or try to ignore to get to a simple deployment.

and even simple deployment is not so simple -- you need tools, lots and lots of tools.

you know, to compile your css. :-D

but i would generally agree-ish with one of the commenters below who recommended Laravel.

it's mostly well done, generally organized, etc.

if you do the current latest install, you'll end up with a Laravel app with a 'Breeze' front end (i think). Breeze being the simpler little cousin of the two 'Jetstream' front ends/routing techs that will also be bundled, but you don't have to use.

The default css is Tailwind, the default templating engine is blade, the default js/component/library implementation is Vue.

laravel also sells - or someone sells - laravel-in-a-box so in theory it's easy to run vagrant-style.

there are now a bunch of 'saas scaffolding' apps out there you can buy for a few hundred bucks - so they give you what every framework should already give you out of the box - authentication, primarily.

and laravel has a trillion plugins/apps/services, some of which are paid. like a deployment service. a fancy admin panel. etc. their own scaffolding, 'Spark', was downgraded to be just a souped-up version of their Cashier plugin/app (I think) - but not sure.

https://www.saaspegasus.com/ is an example for python.

for actual prototyping, if you don't mind learning some app building, low-code services, and don't mind the freemium model with a $50/mo entry fee for non-free level, you could try Anvil or Bubble.

since you know Python i'd look at Anvil first, then Pegasus.

nVidia works fine on Wayland on Gnome because Gnome implemented nVidia's EGLstreams as well as GBM
Now, it is MyBatis: https://mybatis.org/mybatis-3/

If you want to compose your SQL queries, it is excellent.
I want to split the tunnelling from my local machine, I want certain (whitelisted) applications to bypass the VPN and everything else to use it.
If they have the drive to create an entire SAAS app, how is following a a few tutorials on deploying it to a container in k8 too difficult? It only takes 20-30 minutes to setup and there are hundreds of videos and step by step walk through a that hold their hand through it start to finish. Maybe I am over estimating how difficult it is to build an app in Flask then.
Using Zoom on Linux is a fun way to get everything to crash; and may as well flip a coin to see if I'll get connected / anyone will be able to hear me.

Google Meet, Slack calls, literally everything else works perfectly. With screenshare. On Wayland. I just call in to Zooms now.
>Don’t you have membership elections for the leadership?

So does Iran, Russia, etc. Do you feel like those elections are free and fair? I don't feel like union leadership votes are. Again, there's a lot of baggage associated with current unions. New unions are needed, not new leadership of existing unions.
Perhaps but this ignores the million+ dollar campaign Amazon leveraged to push people to vote no. It's not like it explains all the vote but it's definitely a component.
When would this filter through to distros?
Collective bargaining lets the employees push back against issues that would otherwise risk their career. For example, an individual speaking up against horrible working conditions, metric-focused managers, and ignorance of unsafe practices would risk getting fired, so the issues would persist. A union would have the leverage required to push back against such issues.
If you are excellent at your job and can get a different one, why would you unionize?

The union takes money out of your pocket, reduces your ability to get paid for performance, and slows the firm's ability to innovate.

If the firm mistreats you, you can leave.
> Unions don’t always contribute to a better outcome for their workers

You can say this about anything.

Getting a job doesn't always contribute to a better outcome for the unemployed.

Getting healthcare doesn't always contribute to better health outcomes.

Getting housing after being homeless doesn't always lead to a better life.

> It’s hard to motivate a vote for unions when Amazon pays double the federal minimum wage.

So many people repeating the same things over and over.
> Then maybe you shouldn't be calling other people "statists". Especially you shouldn't be using it as a put-down or a condescending dismissal.

He started it by trying to put me down as being a Libertarian. Statist is an accurate term. It's only a put-down because when you look at it, it's a self-serving & ultimately abusive position. I don't need to try very hard b/c it's obvious that the statist position is ultimately about a tranfer of wealth from the people who do the real work of making the world better to the people who want to control others.

> It also had unmatched financial crises every decade or so

There was a feedback loop, often based on speculation & financialization.

> That's one and a half in a hundred years

You forgot the S&L crash in 1986, the dot com bust, the housing bust, the neverending & accelerating QE (money printing), etc.

The current fiat petrol-dollar paradigm, that directly perpetuated neverending wars, is crashing around us as we speak.

> So maybe don't trumpet how wonderful everything was pre-1913, because it had a downside that destroyed a lot of people.

I fail to see how the invention & propagation of electricity & sanitation leading to the rapid increase in life expectancy and unprecedented increase in real (as opposed to fiat, which is another blunder of statists) wealth, "destroyed a lot of people".

You have an argument that certain aspects of industralization & centralization had negative effects on the human. However, the positive aspects of our growth & transcendence of previous poverty was due to the spirit of human ingenuity & the collective energy of the population to improve their lives & the lives around them. Governments only (with few exceptions) got in the way of this progress.
That was not a rant by any means; it was genuine, and refreshingly resonant to (i'm sure) many reading with similar learned skepticisms about graduate academia.
I feel that for people paying attention to COVID news, this has always been the case; there's never been any kind of conclusive evidence on the origin of the virus (that I've read of). The article outlines three main possible origins - natural, accidental combination in lab, deliberate construction in lab. (There's a fourth option I've seen floating around - deliberate release of a constructed virus.) It seems that most of the scientists in the article are considering the second option; however, right-wing media has apparently in multiple instances sought to take their work to push the third, or even fourth option.

It is thoroughly unsurprising to me that most scientific publications would take a stance against releasing studies or articles considering option two or three, as right-wing media and politicians were/are fishing for anything with a suitable scientific veneer they could throw out as evidence of someone to blame. (And its not hard to see why - telling your constituents they have to deal with job losses, family deaths and lockdowns because someone in China ate a bat leaves people without something to blame, and the politicians tend to be the closest relevant people.) Given the amount of anti-asian racism/crime/murder we've seen spiking in the last year, I think the publications' stances (and the more mainstream media) to lean heavily towards option one is understandable - no one wants to be the used as justification for hate crimes or political action a la the Iraq war buildup.

Perhaps in another year or two things will have cooled down enough that stuff like this can be considered without collateral damage.
I feel like the autocomplete offered by fzf with <command> * is a step in the right direction. I don't think it supports flags atm but that could probably be done with a script.

Neat thing you can do is type "*-Noun" and the tab completion will give you options that fill in the "*". Alternatively "Get-Command *-Noun" will also list out all of the matching commands. Get-Help also supports that kind of wildcard so you get the list of commands along with their help summary.

The "*" can even be in the middle. I open VS solution files all the time from Powershell. Since there are often many other files and folders with similar names alongside them I just type ".\*.sln" and hit tab.
Best one of these I've seen (security video of) is some thieves renting/stealing (don't know which) a flatbed truck with a grabbing arm thing. They just lifted the whole bike rack which everyone locks their bikes into onto the flatbed and drove away. Obviously well planned.
Funny how some resort to calling workers gullible when they don't vote the way they're supposed to. You're saying these people have no agency and no understanding of their own situation? How patronizing! I thought accepting the will of the people is the whole goal of democracy?
I went to a school where the teacher's union made it impossible to remove incompetent teachers. Teachers who got consistently poor student results, didn't control the class, took several months of "sick" leave, etc.
This is a really odd article. Snopes said "most false" and they seem to take issue with this. Snopes assessment seems right on and completely accurate with not much bias.
Because they don't realize how bad Zoom's bad acts could be for them. People didn't feel that cigarettes were bad for them. People don't feel like McDonald's is bad for them.

I feel like the future might involve writing a little bit of code, so you can more easily link properties together and that sort of thing. Maybe a node-based workflow, I'm not sure.
A lot of unions ended up being just another means for the mafia to steal from the poor, skimming off the top of pensions funds and the like. Similar corruption exists today. It is inevitable.
The arguments against come from uncertainty, "there are clearly trade offs" "I don't know but people with skin in the game are against it" "This will cause problems in the long run"

The arguments in favor are certain. There's is no mention of downsides; the only talk is of more money and more security with at most a mention that some dues will need to be paid (though on balance the worker will come out ahead).
Support is inevitable, Wayland is staged to replaced X11, all major distros have it in their roadmap (if not already default on stable).
Um, not sure what you're trying to do here. People saying the same thing about two different situations does not in any way make the situations similar or equivalent, and the fact that you are even making the connection is kinda gross tbh.
Yes of course, I forgot that word.
Personally, it came from working for a massive union (government, not US) for many years. The downsides are real: hard to fire bad performers, your merits don't matter at all (the guy doing the bare minimum job description gets the same raises as you), wayyy too much focus on seniority (for promotions, vacation selection, etc), and overall just too many rules (for example, "unlimited vacation" works great with my current employer but would absolutely not work under a union.. sick days have to be tracked, PTO banks calculated down to the quarter hour, etc).

On the plus side, we paid like $15/month so I'm not sure why Amazon is trying to scare people with the "union dues" argument. And it was nice to have the option for "representation" in HR-like meetings.

There's definitely pluses and minuses, but (having worked on both sides) it's not for me.
> I absolutely do not understand why you would vote against your own collective interest

Americans have been doing exactly that for decades.
There has been some idle speculation over the years that adding a way to load stack pages over the network would have created the interactive web back in the prehistoric web days. The flipside of this is it would have been basically Flash, complete with all of the security nightmares that entails. Old MacOS was not built with security in mind. Also of course it would have been trapped on Macs.

Hi there, I'm the person who extracted the algo and ran the original test.

I picked my words mostly in response to the "fewer than five complaints ... due to race" statement Proctorio included in a response letter to the US senate[0] (page 21, para 3/4). If they did not make those claims, I would not have used the word "racist" in my original blog post, instead opting for a more neutral term like "biased". How the press chose to represent my work is their editorial choice.

> How is it affecting students? ...

Here's some insight into how Proctorio works - when your exam time window opens, you need to start this set of "pre-exam checks" - which take nearly a minute or two to run through in several cases, more on slower computers. Once that's done, it runs a "test" of their facerec - if it cannot see your face, you cannot enter the exam. No easy professor override, no "professor can review the recording". Only options are to either shine a bright light on your face or something for it to see you, if that works, or have a conversation with customer support that essentially goes "this algorithm literally doesn't see me as a human".

Also remember that all this is going down when the time is ticking down on the exam - most exams are only open for the time slot set for them - if you start late because you're fighting a phone/chat tree (sometimes with wait times of 5+ minutes, from anecdotes from friends) or a facerec algo, that's time counting against you. And there's also the stress of having to write an exam on top of all that.

So yeah, students are definitely affected by it.

Not only this (which is super accurate in my limited experience with these types of jobs in HS/college), but that high turnover even among managerial staff means that really to advance at least a few levels in the organization, all it takes is 1) sticking around; 2) not being bad at your job (not even being really good just be decent).

Hell, I used to be a dishwasher then line cook at a Friendly's (east coast family restaurant, primary PA/NJ/NY/CT/MA) for two years and by the time I left for college I was the most senior person there who didn't have a key to open the building. And two of the three cooks who had keys were still in school, one HS and one college.

Managing a restaurant is super demanding work but it's not that far off from median salary. It's not as much of a dead end as people think it is, especially if you start at the bottom and work up.
My point was: why is the name Coq worse for women?
Some of the pieces will have a lower orbit, which might be low enough for them to scrape the atmosphere and bring them down. Some of the pieces will be placed into a higher orbit (although the lowest point won't be raised).
Just a note for people who might not be aware: whatever marketing savvy you pick up from this post, one person you should credit is HN's own Dan Gackle. Check this out:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22616857

We wrote this piece (well, "they" did; I hadn't joined up with Fly yet --- this piece is part of why I did) but Dan edited it. I got to read the back-and-forth and revisions when I got here and it was bananas how much effort he put in. In blog posts, I just keep doing what he suggested in that Launch piece. Seems to be working?

Go look at all the "Launch HN" pieces. I think a lot of them are comparably informed by Dan.

I'm commenting about this because I think it's super interesting that one of YC's secret weapons is the moderator for HN, who informally moonlights as the editor for YC launch posts, and is spooky good at it.
It's hard to compare in general but it's not hard to compare when you can take the same problem and run it in the "blackbox" of each system and compare performance. That's actually really easy. Now whether you can say "in general" would require much more varied comparisons than just a couple in an academic paper. Most people don't care what's in the black box.

Container ships are more efficient than trucks when measuring CO2 emissions, not so much by other emissions. The problem is that they use high sulfur "bunker oil" fuel. At least with trucks there is a clear path to electrification via renewable means; I don't know that there's a similar path for electrifying container ships due to the logistics involved.

So you agree that Google removing divisive categories is better for them and their users – but you're angry that people did the work and found that this policy is unevenly applied? Why is it not worth asking why "Muslim" was blacklisted but not "Christian", "Jewish", or "Buddhist"?

> The religious descriptions “Jewish,” “Christian,” and “Buddhist” were also blocked as standalone words. But when we combined them with the word “fashion,” only “Muslim fashion,” one of the terms suggested by advocates, was blocked. “Jewish fashion,” “Christian fashion,” and “Buddhist fashion” were not blocked for advertising when we conducted our study, showing the blanket ban on “Muslim” in combination with any other word did not extend to other religions.
I think autocomplete is still in the early phase of evolution.

The problem with the CLI is it is TOO freeform, with fatfingers and the like. A better autocomplete that utilized more advanced character graphics would go a long way to making the CLI more natural.

Man page examples/sample are still inadequate even after ... ??? 40 years ???. Some analysis of grep use case frequency would probably help them a lot. I've given up looking for man pages for examples how to use a command in a specific way, StackOverflow and Google are better. But then you have to change to a different app, parse through search results, etc etc etc.
