Ask HN: Why bother trying to unionize single Amazon warehouse?
I was reading through related discussions on HN and did not see the answer to this question: what would workers or organized labor (for that matter) gain by organizing just one Amazon warehouse?

Sure, one needs to start somewhere, and it is likely infeasible to organize majority of Amazon warehouses simultaneously.

But what leverage over Amazon would such single unionized warehouse give to labor? And AFAIK without good leverage Union cannot negotiate anything significant for its members, why members still must pay their dues to the union, ending up worse on the balance.

Wouldn't successful unionization of the single warehouse serve more like an inoculation from the organized labor for Amazon? What parts of the picture do I miss here?
And learning assembler especially teaches you where and why to avoid it. I'm teaching operating systems, compilers and machine-level programming and it amazes me that there are courses in my field that try to avoid the machine level as far as possible - such as compiler courses that concentrate on the front-end and only talk about code generation as an afterthought or OS courses that only focus on algorithms and data structure and ignore all implementation questions.
We've experienced such things in the insurance industry with actuaries and their statistics/models playing the role of oracle. Pricing discrimination takes place based on the customer's job, demographics, income, or neighborhood – and often it's the poorer, younger, and less privileged people who pay more due to their 'risk' merely based on the identity groups they're in.

Eventually, people get upset enough so that laws are passed enforcing whatever the society thinks is fair, and then it's the job of the industry (or whoever is controlling the 'AI' in your example) to comply, such as in the EU post-2012 with banning gender discrimination in insurance whether or not it has any statistical merit.

In your case, the solution seems, to me, to be as simple as making the system ignore whatever variables you feel shouldn't be taken into account, whether that's gender or something else.

The 1980ies had drum brakes as their alternative bike brake tech. For the decades you are talking about, the high end was all about super narrow tires (much more narrow than what you see today) and brake calipers for narrow tires can be built to have very little flex. And that flex is the only difference between a disc brake and a rim brake, if you take a step back and consider the rim a very big disc. For a fat-bike with 100+ mm tires it would be almost impossible to create a reasonably well-working rim brake, due to all the flex happening along the way But for the 20mm tire that defined the entire performance market in those years, caliper flex is a much smaller problem, almost as good as that of a disc brake caliper. Even when mountain bikes took of with their ca 50mm tires it took decades for disc brakes to establish themselves (with quite a few failed starts) and people were happily buying "brake boosters" to reduce the flex (cantilever brakes flex the frame/fork).

Road bikes more use tires typically about 50% (or more) wider than in late 20th century, and quality calipers have become a rather tight fit (or wouldn't for at all, for the wider-tired subspecies), but calipers have still improved generation over generation.

> Instead of looking for equivalence or ranking which side is worse, perhaps we should blanketly condemn political violence.

>You posting that NPR link is incoherent

From where I stand your entire reply is incoherent and inflammatory. You accuse me of seeking equivalence before citing the most inflammatory examples of political violence by one side. This despite the fact that I explicitly suggest that equivalence or ranking isn't interesting to me.

Historical context of the FBI's evolving political agendas may help to illustrate that we may in fact be inside of a bias bubble. Especially if you are asserting that the FBI is apolitical. The mainstream presses' presentation of political violence last summer may also be instructive.

At the end of the day, I'm not sure why it is important which flavor is more terrorist-y. It seems like an irrelevant partisan distinction. I'd like to avoid that debate, thanks.
I mean, at some point (hopefully) humans will be living on more than one planetary body in the solar system.

Once you have people on Mars and Earth, you're never going to harmonize the two, without shifting both to the same orbit.

So you could just give up on having the planet's orbit define the calendar, design a pleasing civil calendar for your civilization that is probably roughly a Earth year long, but without all the hacks to make it exact or synchronized, and just let your cell phone add a calendar event for when spring, etc starts.
So, yes, this is the problem. Healthcare should not be a business. It should be obvious that people who have been denied access before will come in to their first visit with multiple concerns, and the system should be accommodating to that without a massive "onboarding" fee. After all, it's not their fault that previous incarnations of said system did not supply care adequately.

If you view a person and their health in a holistic manner, you can't just say, "Well, I've got you set up to check for diabetes and Crohn's, but if you want me to consider that mole then you'll have to pay me another $300 and/or wait a few weeks until I'm not so booked."

My point was that "free preventative care" is not a panacea. Any time a doctor is incentivized to turn that visit into a money-maker, they'll gladly attempt to. And that's wrong.

>> There's probably a business here for someone who can make software which detects when AIs develop politically dangerous opinions so that they can be shut down.

I don't believe so, because the "AI with dangerous opinions" will already have been killed off by its maker, that is, as long as it doesn't generate any revenue for them. If, however, this dangerous, malignant AI does generate revenue, their maker will not allow you nor anyone else to kill it off.

Here's a tip: if you can put a number on some part of your grind, and you have some colleagues who are competitive, with each other or with the metric itself (i.e. "can't stop, the warning count is not ZERO!!1!) then you can get help grinding.

I joined a team with 2000 compiler warnings, then set up CI. The "compiled, but with warnings" orange box stayed orange, even as I started killing warnings a few at a time. Then I put a "grep warn | wc" in the CI and another colleague got into the game and drove the warning count to zero a few days later.

I immediately checked in -Werr and we never had a compiler warning problem again.

Grind, but have a plan to stop grinding.

Abstract:

Network calculus is a mathematical framework allowing to analyze the worst-case performance of communication networks. As high performance is the goal of any communication network, we believe that the theory is a very useful tool for network researchers and engineers. However, because it relies on non-traditional algebras, namely the min-plus and max-plus algebras, researchers and engineers are usually reluctant to use network calculus or use it in a non-optimal or wrong way. Therefore, as an objective to make it more understandable and usable by the community, this document tries to present major results of network calculus in a comprehensive way. Proofs and detailed developments are intentionally omitted. We do not pretend to present any new result. Each statement is accompanied by a pointer to a proof or to a more detailed explanation for it. The goal of this document is to provide researchers and engineers with a comprehensive guide they can use as a reference to properly apply network calculus to their specific application.

Dream doesn't have much of a system call dependency footprint itself. It's basically just a convention for plugging request -> response functions into a web server. Some of its native dependencies will have to be replaced by Node equivalents. Soon after that, it would be portable to Node.

There is already work underway to port Dream to Mirage, to run in unikernels: https://github.com/aantron/dream/pull/22

Lwt, Dream's promise library, is itself getting ported to run on top of libuv: https://github.com/ocsigen/lwt/issues/813

libuv is, of course, the I/O library that powers Node, so it might be practical to run Dream as a native node module very soon after doing this.

(As an aside, I'm supposed to work on that libuv project, but instead I've been working on Dream :P)

It's not just an antenna.

It's actually a whole satellite terminal as well as all the electronics for controlling the phased array. It can operate entirely without the router they give you - plug in a computer, or another router (into the white port on the POE injector), and off you go.

I manage a group of people and we went fully remote when Covid started last year. Personally,I am a fan of remote work and I don't want to go back to office environment, unless it's literally across the road from where I live. Having said that, I do understand why some people want to be in the office:
remote can feel disconnecting. My team occasionally have really tough moments due to work specifics,so they used to go outside and just vent out,talk to each other. You can't really replicate it over Zoom.

Some people rely more heavily on those around them for day to day support,so they can struggle when left on their own at home.

Not everyone has a good environment to work from home. No company is solving this by saying 'you know what,why don't you get yourself a big house,so you could work quietly'. Heck,even my boss with a nice house was running some meetings from his kids room, because that was the only quite place in his house.

For some people,work is life and their colleagues are friends, or at least those they spend some time outside work. It is important for some, while other don't care.

Written commutation is difficult for many: people rarely can express themselves well in writing,as opposed to a few min chat face to face. This creates some absurd situation from time to time and it has made me completely rethink some priorities,when hiring people.

Because it was absolutely unclear at that time yet, that an older kernel version could mount the XFS partition but the newer kernel versions could not (this only came up during the post mortem/RCA later). Furthermore the clock skew and mon_host issues gave us a wrong picture of the situation. (Also as the hosts are running as hypervisor systems, the kernel version should ~match with the environment (Proxmox/KVM), so there might be other/unclear risks with running such a setup.)

Is it not the case that this Facebook AI was making more money, getting more clicks, by exercising prejudice? And now it needs to be killed off. But if there was a police bot, it would have noticed ahead of time and killed off the politically-incorrect AI before it had a chance to damage the reputation of the company.
> In your case, the solution seems, to me, to be as simple as making the system ignore whatever variables you feel shouldn't be taken into account, whether that's gender or something else.

But then what's the point of using 'AI' at all if people are just gonna ignore what it comes up with?

People are seeing the world the way they want to see it, not the way it is. AI sees the world the way it is, not the way people would like it to be.
That's illegal in the UK now.
Humans build an operate AI systems. "Nothing we can do, the AI just produces discriminatory outcomes" is not an acceptable approach.
It's certainly worth talking about and fixing--the difference between segmentation and discrimination. Like in the HUD case mentioned in the article, discriminating based on age, gender, race, etc. are actually illegal. Not every industry is as regulated nor are they all at risk of it because of this.

To me, there's not a question of "should we make this better?" because we're talking about basic rights: the right to not be discriminated in the pursuit of a roof over your head or a job to pay you a living wage (housing and employment). IMO, a very different question when you advertise anything outside of those basic rights. Plenty of grey area to talk about there.
Well the ESP-IDF is freeRTOS based, so: threads. But have fun re-inventing the SDK I guess?
"consequence of the real world" feels like a cop out answer to the question. that very well may be part of if not the whole reason (I'm not a labor economists or the sort so I'm not going to speculate), but I would rather see if there aren't other systemic reasons for the biases - ie reinforcing gender with different jobs in media consumption, the domination of one gender in a type of job creating an environment that turns aways members of the other gender intentionally or unintentionally

and even of "that's just the way things are", I don't see any good reason why the advertising needs to remain so targeted on the lines of gender. job recruitment should be as free of biases as possible
I think most of it is just software
The left-wing narrative is usually "[group A] is hurt by [issue and thus group B]", whereas the far-right is, "[group C] will hurt you, if you let them." I think it's a deliberate difference. The far right would never say Jews were accidentally conspiring against Americans, it wouldn't help them. But it helps the far left to say their issues are inadvertent, that [villain] can't help his bias, or that he doesn't have to do it deliberately.

Left-wing narratives are often decoupled from intention (e.g. systemic and unconscious bias) because it makes them easier to propogate, whereas right-wing narratives are the opposite - intention is ascribed whether or not it's there, also because it helps the narrative propagate. They're selling to different human tendencies, I think.

Watch the far-right protest. Their eyes usually convey fear or animalistic aggression, even when they're dominant. Far-left groups carry very different emotions, even violent ones like Antifa.
A satellite dish does not transmit any information to the satellite. Satellite TV is a pure broadcast system in the forward direction.

Moreover, comparing a parabolic receiver with a phased array is quite unfair. The amount and complexity of the electronics and processing power required is several orders of magnitude different.
Not if it causes people to (emotionally) dig themselves into positions which they later are unwilling to relent on because people hate admitting they're wrong, and hate it more the more adamantly they had stated their position before. We're in a very polarized environment, with very little trust between groups, and having an early emotional hard conversation could actually be another obstacle in the way of having a productive one later.
Kaczynski isn't made up, he really existed, and still does. He's not a communist though, and I don't think communists have an issue with data centers, they love making lists as well.

Nobody’s blocking IP addresses but apparently these are not enough or these companies wouldn’t be clutching their other tracking pearls.

IP addresses and battery levels are dynamic and screen resolution and time zones are shared by millions.

The real fingerprinting is in things like sensor calibration and these can be stopped by binning or randomizing values.

Apple has announced they will be blocking these prints one by one and they are.
