"only one union representing a group of employees at a time" is a rule enforced by government, not a natural property of unions. The NLRA process [1] is predicated on a single, exclusive representative organization for any given unit of workers. It didn't always used to be this way, before such rules, there were times where multiple competing unions historically had ground industry to a halt because it was impossible for a company to make a contract that would apply to everyone and get the business back running. I find the NLRA's solution very elegant because it both improves the democratic nature of unions and helps get industry moving.

> Hundreds of people physically stormed the Capitol with the explicit intention of overturning a democratic election. What else would you call that but insurrection?

I would call it a protest or a riot. The vast majority were protesting against the legitimacy of the election results or simply there to rally for their candidate, both of which are legally allowed. That's not "overturning a democratic election" - that's drawing attention to the problem and calling for investigations. The fact that a few people within that crowd may have conspired to do something more shouldn't change the intent of the majority who were there. This is also why almost no one who entered the capitol will face any jail time or charges beyond trespassing.

Keep in mind, there have been numerous past protests at the Capitol in the last decade, mostly from the political left. To claim that this one is somehow worse does not seem fair. Likewise, Democrats have challenged election results numerous times - including the 2000, 2004, and 2016 presidential elections. Even right now, during this very election cycle, there is a case where Democrats are challenging election results for a House seat, with Pelosi's support (https://time.com/5950292/iowa-congress-election-rita-hart/).

> It's not a good look to downplay crime and violence just because the people doing it voted the same way you did.

I'm not downplaying anything, but rather describing things as they are. I feel your use of the word "insurrection" is exaggerating things. The only people using the word "insurrection" are activists and biased journalists - not our justice system. How many people have been charged or convicted for "insurrection"? How does that number compare to the number of people at the capitol?

The next major XWayland release will likely be in about half a year, but they're considering putting it into a point release.

The most likely answer is next version or the one after that depending on how they'll do the release (Ubuntu just released so there are a few months available for the next version in their 6 months schedule, it'll definitely be in the next LTS).

Have you not heard of The Rubber Room? Or the dance of the lemons? At least with respect to teachers unions, the problem is real and in a very detrimental way. Even when a schools district wants to fire a bad teacher, the process can take years and be costly enough to deter districts from even bothering.
I don't know how much pull Safari has. Seems like a lot of web devs don't test on Safari.

I know this isn't damning evidence or anything, but I noticed recently that the header image on front page of Thunderbird's homepage[1] has an image of the app (in a Mac window, funnily enough) that doesn't size properly on Safari[2]. It squishes horizontally, I assume due to some weird CSS implementation difference.

This wouldn't have been an issue if we let corporations be money maximizing machines working within the confines of the legal system (and a strong legal system that treats them as such). Instead, we look to corporations for health care, retirement funds, a sense of purpose and belonging. This is the natural outcome.
This. Was about to say the same. As someone once said - you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
A small group of very loud, and generally (unfortunately) rather unproductive people is doing just that.

But then again, if the response is to kowtow to the activists and not fire them for not doing their job - then I suppose I have no remorse for when your business eventually goes under, because you were not focused on your primary business objective.

And as somebody who comes in to work to work and keeps his politics firmly in his personal sphere, it's a good indicator for why I might not ever want to work for you.
Lots of dead industry in Sweden too because there was a major shift during the 90s and 2000s that remotely located industry in the Swedish forest could not keep up with.

I don't know more details, I am only speaking observationally. Someone else might tell you why this happened.

I would assume it has to do with globalization and other nations being more competitive than local business.

Why is it that conservatives like myself freely criticize as silly or insane the excesses of the Right (Jan 6, assertions that Covid-19 is a CIA PsyOp, Trump won the election) but the Left is so reluctant to be critical of its lunatic fringe?

I think it is because bad actors on the left are both powerful and vindictive -- even as this story illustrates.

I mean, I can invent an algorithm that runs poorly on x86 CPUs but good on GPUs rather easily.

Ex: GPUs have a bit-reverse instruction, but x86 is missing that instruction. I've invented hash algorithms that only work well on GPUs (or really, architectures with single-cycle bit-reverse) and will run poorly on CPUs.

----------

But when I run the idea on a CPU, I don't do bitreverse. I use bswap64 instead. Because x86 has single-cycle bswap. Its technically a different algorithm with a different result, but bswap shuffles the bits around enough that the hash-algorithm is still really fast and really good (passes a lot of randomization tests I've done).

----------

We're looking at instruction-level differences between two grossly different platforms. Anyone who is an expert at both systems will tell you that optimization and tuning for both systems are so grossly different, that its pretty much non-sensical to try to compare them in "black-box" manners. You need to put some level of effort into processor-level tuning if you want the results to stand.

I am also Chinese though I live in Europe now. There are different forms of freedom. One is not necessarily better than the other. You are focusing on one kind of freedom only, to the exclusion of other kinds. You are also not comparing the Chinese's freedom of today, with their freedom of the past.

In China, people have freedom from being infected by COVID. They have freedom from assault; streets are very safe even at night, even for women. They have freedom to consume alcohol publicly. They have freedom from being shot. They have freedom from homelessness. They have freedom from being attacked by the police; contrary to what many people expect, Chinese police is very nice and don't carry guns, and people don't fear them. Not all western countries have these kinds of freedoms, or have them to the same level as China.

China today is freer than it has ever been in the past 3000 years. In the past, everything was at the whim of the emperor. 100 years ago, everything was at the whims of foreign imperialists, who drugged people, looted treasures and stole land as they pleased. 40 years ago, Chinese people could not choose what to wear, where to work, what to study, where to travel.

40 years ago, everybody was poor. With the massive, industrial-scale poverty alleviation efforts that western media somehow doesn't like reporting on, Chinese now have freedom from poverty, which very few countries have. When you are poor, you are not free, no matter how much you can criticize the president.

All of this has changed. The past 30 years are literally the best in the past 3000 years. Chinese are freer than they have ever been.

Furthermore, China isn't even a dictatorship or totalitarian. China is a political meritocracy. See this interview with professor Daniel A Bell: https://youtu.be/D_ZzlPoapB4

Particularly at 13:30 he explains why it makes no sense to lump China together with the likes of Saudi Arabia or North Korea.

Usually, when people criticize China for being 'a totalitarian dictatorship', it is because they want to confirm their preconceived notions about China as a bad place, rather than because their statements are 100% based on facts.

Since you're Latin American, maybe you should listen to what this fellow Latin American has to say about freedom in China. He lives in China. https://youtu.be/RFRIRaj1QvE

BeKind: How to Follow People
I think the difference being poorly articulated in the article is CEOs making public declarations of political positions. They've always donated to politicians and been active in local politics - that's how the rich and powerful maintain their status.

Now, their employees and customers are demanding public stances on social/political issues that aren't directly related to the company bottom line.

There might be a difference. Studios must first look for actors in the actors guild. That said, a studio has freedom not to use an actor. Similar, a studio does not need to use a bad script, and the studio does not need to pay a writer if it doesn't use the writer's work. In contrast, a factory has to pay for a worker, or even assign some work to the worker, no matter how bad this worker performs.

Couldn't you use the Nvidia card for CUDA and just have an AMD card for the display. It's a little dumb having two graphics cards, you need a spare PCI slot and graphics cards are expensive (but you could just get a cheap old and used card, if it's just for your desktop environment).

> I find it hard to believe great teachers would go to private schools in large numbers as a result of being in a union, private schools generally have lower pay, lower benefits, and lower standards.

I don't know where you lived, but this is the opposite of the situation in most places. Private schools attract people who will pay private school tuition because they offer higher standards.

In my limited experience with private schools, it was relatively easy to poach good teachers away from unionized jobs precisely because the school had freedom to offer them higher wages and better benefits. Many of them were also sick of dealing with the issues that come with unionized labor and union membership.

Also it's worth noting that the smoke point is different for extra-virgin versus other olive oils. A purified olive oil has a much higher smoke point and can be used for higher-temperature pan-frying. EVOO can be used for pan frying or baking but you have to control the temperature and keep it below about 375. Below that is actually a good temperature for frying mushrooms in my opinion.

I think that the value of a lot of unions is obscured by how well-established they are. Historically, unions are a solution to a specific problem - the employer can (for one reason or another) get away with jerking employees around and treating them badly. But if you form a union, and the employer is forced to stop some of their the worst behaviors, and then it stays that way for a generation or two, it feels like the union serves no purpose.

To take government work as an example: you mentioned some minuses that are very obvious. But you didn't mention what I consider one of the biggest pluses: not having to fear losing your job because the mayor/governor/etc flipped parties. That still happens in leadership positions, but it used to happen to rank-and-file workers as well; I believe it's the public employee unions that stopped that.

I don't work for Amazon and I don't have a dog in this fight, but it would've been very interesting to see what happened if this site had unionized. It's not really clear to me whether/how much Amazon is jerking its workers around; are there plants really unsafe, are people really miserable, should they be paid more? Having one site unionize for a couple of years would probably answer those questions better than a million forum posts.
The old adage is "with great power comes great responsibility"

Most CEOs are not perceived -rightly or wrongly- as paragons of virtue, so one can see this not ending particularly well.

No, exactly the opposite. ERISA is a Federal law that strictly regulates how plan fiduciaries can operate employer-sponsored health plans. A key element of ERISA is that an employer cannot offer more generous benefits to some employers over other; everyone in the company must be offered the same plans, and within each plan, every beneficiary must be treated the same.
This is how the narrative moves. A few CEOs take a stand, the media jumps on it, people read it, other CEOs see people reading it, jump on board, and that's how it flourishes. The media didn't create it, it only amplified it. The media only ever amplifies what it finds. It doesn't manufacture it.

For longevity, AFAIK you don't need that degree of cardiofitness, and walking is sufficient. It's possible to reduce longevity through running too fast, for example. Cultures that have noted longevity are not known for having an exercise culture either, rather they are moderately active throughout/several times a day.

Unfortunately I can't find my sources right now, so take that as just something some guy said on the Internet.
a) Crunch the numbers, find out how much you need. If you don't have exact, precise numbers and a precise plan on how to get to that number, the idea is worth nothing since you don't even have a starting point to analyze viability. People who have run the numbers tend to realize how inviable it is. Those who don't, also think you can just endlessly print money or just tax people more until you get to the happy number. Which leads to b)

b) Observe the real world, see what happens when you "just increase tax rate". You'll find that very often when you increase taxes you actually end up collecting less, as more people decide to illegally dodge taxes or simply close up shop.

Given a country's economic output, laws, culture and a thousand other factors, there's a hidden function that determines the maximum tax rate you can employ where anything more than that is counter-productive with both short-term and long-term results, the latter often including reputational damage that can be nigh impossible to repair, soft-capping your economy far below what it could've been. See: Laffer Curve, and the shining example that is Argentina.
When people say a CEO "built" their company, I'm reminded of when people say the Pharoh Kufu "built" the Great Pyramid. It kind of ignores the people who did the actual work.

I guarantee you that the people at the top of companies understand well that good paying positions are popularity contests. It's the people who just have a strong need to feel that merit matters that they can typically gull into working like dogs for table scraps.

Granted, I have seen the other side of things, and free riders are a problem. It sucks when you care about doing things right and don't get anything better than the people who just dial it in. But there are always going to be free riders: either people who figure out how to game the system because they're just there for a paycheck, or people who run the system and soak up all the value while delivering little, because their family knows the right people at the country club.

Now, when a company is new, small, and nimble like a startup, you can control the nepotism and free riding somewhat, but any bigger shop it's just going to get baked into the system either way. Try to really solve this problem, and you'll threaten those with real power and get shut down.

Sometimes you get leapfrog moments from companies like SpaceX that demonstrate just how much drag the corruption has caused on progress, but they're more the exception that proves the rule. And, any comments about Elon as an individual aside, the powers that be have not been shy about using a bunch of media mouthpieces to spread FUD about disruptors like SpaceX and Tesla. (Again, not going to even touch on whether those are good or bad companies, or whether Elon is a good or bad person. But they are causing a ruckus in their respective industries.)

So again, you may be doing a lot better than some people at your job, and that's commendable. But it will be used to manipulate you more often than not, because you care.
