From family in the industry, my understanding is it’s not union benefits/wages/etc per se, but more the work rules that haven’t changed with the times driving over staffing, inability to fire bad performers, and overtime issues.

There’s a lot of on-the-clock non-work built into the work rules. My relatives in the industry described the typical day as involving on-the-clock time built in for cleanup&changing into/out of work clothes, briefing on tasks for the day, safety briefing (AM and again after lunch for legal reasons), smoke/coffee breaks, etc. The longest stretch of uninterrupted construction is about a 2 hour sprint into the end of the day.

On the staffing front, the only lever a project manager has is to give the 2-3 hardworking guys out of 12 a boatload of overtime hours to get the actual work done. This is one reason that on most every job site around the city you see some pretty sick cars. Those 2-3 guys are getting 50% of the work done out of the 12, and getting paid Google engineering money for it.

NYT article years back talked about 2nd avenue subway covered examples of work rules. Tunnel boring machine in NY requires 3-4x the staffing of Paris, because thats the contract negotiated in the 70s when it was seen to be reducing jobs.. and no one has revisited it. This is no small figure as we have a handful of these digging tunnels the last few years, at the rate of 50ft/day... for months.
Similarly there is a mandatory on-site oiler who basically sits in the break room all day because the machines do not need constant oiling anymore the way they did when the rule was written half a century ago.

One example from my relative - on a large NYC project he worked, they couldn’t take deliveries from suppliers on Saturday because it required the job site to be opened. Per union rules this would have required some inane number of staff to be on-site getting overtime rather than just say the guy to open the gate & staff (if any) required to empty the truck.

A lot of this is because public sector unions are treated as a voting constituent rather than a vendor by the government, and no politician ever wants to cross them.
It's pretty clear that this is US tech that the military is teasing as ufo to hype it's advanced nature. I think they have developed some advanced drives etc. "Our weapons are so bitchin everybody thinks they are ufos yo!"

This is woefully lacking in context. The Second Avenue subway in particular was proposed more than a hundred years ago and at that time the proposal was considered to be far more expensive than could possibly make sense. Over and over again the proposal came back up and got shot down again because of the expense. By the time New York actually committed to building the Second Avenue subway there was roughly a hundred years of literature going in detail into why the project was simply to complicated and costly to ever make sense.

So then they actually built it and if you can actually imagine this it turned out to be so expensive it didn't necessarily make sense. But instead of referring to the hundred or so years of detailed documentation of this problem neophyte analysts descend and make what they think is a detailed comparison of costs when in fact they should have been examining the many complications faced by this extremely complex project. Ultimately this analysis is drug down by the weight of their failure to comprehend the Second Avenue subway alone because of the huge scale of that project and the complications that it faced.

This is like looking at per seat construction costs of the Airbus 380 and deciding that something strange must have gone on to make it cost more per seat than a basic small scale commuter aircraft.

As the "webpack" guy on my team, these numbers look extremely compelling, but I also know Webpack does a lot for us (e.g., through Webpack v4, it includes browserfied node libs as needed). Beyond node libs, there's a long tail of niche things that need to be taken of... am I trading coverage of that long tail for speed?
> which is also why more than 30% of Accenture’s workforce is situated in lower cost labor markets like India.

More importantly, 90% of the actual dev work is done by these low cost off shoring centers, and it's also not always India's best and brightest. There's some amazing and brilliant devs in India but they work for Google and the like.

So you end up with spaghetti mess projects written by fairly unskilled overseas devs.

If you interfere with the flame, by taking away heat or limiting airflow so it can't get enough oxygen, you will get partial combustion, where you have incomplete combustion byproducts and vaporized fuel in the mix as well. Same reason why a can of gasoline on fire will produce huge billows of black smoke (insufficient oxygen) while when burned under precise conditions in an engine it's much cleaner, even without exhaust filtering.
To be clear, I object to this sentence as nonsensical:

That's literally how the justice system works in every case. For some reason it was designed this way.
Just a point of feedback on the UI. When I switch between the "official" and the alternative plans, you reset all of the UI elements like which graph is active and the time period and what UI elements have been collapsed or hidden and which year's breakdown is currently visible. That makes it very difficult to quickly switch between them to visually see what the actual changes are which is the only reason I'd set up multiple plans. I'm sure you put a lot of work into the animations but those also detract from this. For the same reason I'd also like to be able to pin the left sidebar (whether collapsed or uncollapsed doesn't matter, but in any case not jumping around every time I click something)
Hence the existence of a clearing house in the stockmarket: cross off debt and credit in the whole market. Every one in your story has 100 credit and 100 debt which makes them worth 0. Aligning that in the right way makes a lot of sense :-)

While that's true, during Apollo 10 didn't the LEM and CM stay on the same side of the Moon?

The "loneliest" anecdote is based on how far away Michael Collins was from the next closest people. Since the LEM was on the other side of the moon once per orbit, Collins was much further away from other people than John Young got.
There is no parallel between me playing a game where I have the freedom to express myself and me submitting a paper to an editorial review board.

Unless you back the idea that every corner of society needs to have the Religion of Woke determining what's "good" and "bad"... and the last thing I think we need is new Crusades with the Knights Wokelar deploying the Holy Creed and woe be the Heathen who goes against the Churches Religion.

"You act as if something is new" and you act as if history isn't full of thought police turning into judge, jury and executioners... from the Crusades to the French Revolution to Auschwitz...

The NIE that the CIA wrote up was declassified. It makes it very clear that they believe with "high confidence" (a very specific term in intelligence which means "we're pretty damn sure, normally enough to start a war over") that Iraq was continuing to make active progress on their nuclear weapons program and delivery systems in contrast to their UN sanctions.

There's been a bunch of opinions since then that they were actually just misrepresented, but their own words from 2002 speak for themselves, IMO.

I can't really say if you're sarcastic or not, but the GP is spot on even if snarky.

I've worked for Accenture (for way too long) and they can be characterised by a single statement that they make to the client when all is said and done and the client complains about the steaming pile of shite that was delivered:

"But in this signed contract here, there is no requirement that says our software should work".

Come on, every serious software engineer knows they are full of it.

From another point of view, we can see American Big Tech and CIA (and some other agencies) as the two faces of a same coin : america leadership, as usa are raising their power from economical and cultural supremacy over other country. I may have a blurry foreigner (french) view on your country, but I really see this intrication as real and substential as it was in URSS. In a much robust way, of course, making your country so powerfull.
Well at the bottom of the turtle stack you have harware primitives that guarantee atomicity of a bunch of word sized arithmetic operations (at the minimum CAS or LL/SC).
What you're describing (id and parent id, sometimes also root id) is known as the relational model.

There is also the nested set model described here[0,1].

[1]https://coderwall.com/p/ohomlg/nested-set-model-the-best-app...

The relational model is much easier to implement (HN and most forums use it), and insertions are faster, but building an entire tree from any point but the root requires recursion. Nested sets are more difficult to implement and inserts and updates are more complex due to tree balancing, but getting the actual trees is simple at any level.
Muni wireless is still a potentially viable model in the “last 200 meters” type design. The equipment and frequencies needed are just barely starting to be available.
Premise 1: Musk has an advantage in the markets

Premise 2: No company that Musk is not involved with could gain a competitive advantage via the signal they send with a bitcoin purchase.

Premise 1 and premise 2 have no relationship. Stating something about one does not tell you anything about the other. You could logically believe any combination of these premises

So by stating 1, I'm not implying 2. In fact I'm agreeing with 1 and refuting 2. Whereas you seem to be implying that if I believe 1 I have to believe 2. This is not the case.

There's this whole chain of endorsements as the check is passed around town before it gets back to the guy who wrote it, saving him from the shame of a bounced check.
Thank you, this was informative.

I ate more sugar than anyone I knew, and in 2011 I was diagnosed with type II diabetes.

I had no family history of diabetes, I was never overweight, and was always athletic.

Admittedly, this is a sample set of 1, but I remain convinced that my voracious appetite for sugar played into my diagnosis. I no longer eat sugar (with the exception of fruit).
Webdev truly is one of a kind. Not only do you have your source code, you also have your build code, oddly dictating the organization of your source code. For extra fun, some libraries don't build with build system a, others require build system b, when you're lucky enough to have a working mix, changing build systems is better to be avoided. Of course periodically the officially blessed build system for your used libraries changes.

The webdev ecosystem is so broken, it's no wonder so many websites deliver assets that are extremely suboptimally optimised, big unused blobs of assets /scripts slowing page load, optimising it all is actually made harder than coding it all.

If I had to choose I'd probably take Skeena since it appears quite readable and also dense which would help in my excel files with too much text in single cells....
I think so, to some degree. I start with the marginal utility of money - the first thousand dollars means a lot more to someone than the next thousand means to a billionaire. If you take a thousand from a billionaire, and give it to someone who currently has $0, that improves their life massively while hurting the billionaire only a tiny bit. So while it still "hurts others", it's still a massive net gain...

... until you get to second-order effects, where things get really complicated. If the rich have less money to invest in things, does that cut down on job creation? If so, is the tax a net win or a net loss?
> A custom-bred form of bacteria

Nitpicking: It's an archaea, they are very similar if you are not a biologist anyway.

> converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane.

The main problem is that you need energy to produce the hydrogen, the relevant part of the article is:

> For every unit of energy of electricity fed into the system, it produces about 0.75 units of energy stored in the form of methane, according to Doris Hafenbradl, Electrochaea’s chief scientist. That’s not as good as lithium-ion batteries, which can reach near 100% efficiency. But unlike the energy stored in batteries, once methane is produced it can be stored indefinitely, because it doesn’t spontaneously degrade into other chemicals.

So there is at least a 25% loose in the storage.

Do you ever question why the sidewalk was unused? Without curb cuts, any potential sidewalk user with wheels is impaired with a detour through the street or a cumbersome stop and lift process.

Does a parent with their kids in a stroller get discouraged by this? How about those with Rollerblades, non-electric scooters, or any kind of dolly?

Curb cuts for cars are often a notable detour for other road users, many have a 1/2 inch lip (unlike sidewalk curb cuts).
Here, I think the concern is that the alternative wordings considered/proposed are possibly open to just as much criticism and negative readings as the original. That is, others consider it difficult to improve here.
I love Levine's summary of the whole thing:

> Obviously if you are a transformative electric car company it is better to make your profits by selling transformative electric cars than by moving the price of cryptocurrency with your tweets. Selling the cars is better for the environment, better for the world; it has higher growth potential; it deserves a higher multiple. My point is only that, for Elon Musk right now, moving the price of cryptocurrency with his tweets is really easy and lucrative and, in the short term, sustainable. Among the things he tweets about, it is probably the one that distracts him least from his work, and the one with the highest returns for shareholders. He should do it every quarter.

But you should also read through the story about the deli if you don't want a brick through your window.

How about if the browser window is maximized?

What I get in that case is 23 cm for the darkish blue left sidebar and 36 cm for the light blue right area that contains the article. Within that right area, the article is in 19 cm white rectangle with just under 2 cm margins.

So, starting from the left here is what I see:

15 cm empty dark blue background,

6 cm of sidebar text on dark blue background,

2 more cm of empty dark blue background,

2 cm of empty light blue background,

A tad under 2 cm of empty white background,

About 14.5 cm of text on white background,

A tad under 2 cm of empty white background,

15.5 cm of empty light blue background.

It really is quite ugly. It looks like something I would do because I completely suck at CSS.
As I replied down below (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26972907), I don't have any concrete plans to open-source it at the moment. However, I know this is a pretty big sticking point for some people, so I have been working through some plans on how we could do it.

In particular (but again, no promises), I want to start by open-sourcing the custom Redux middleware that we use to handle data encryption. I feel like that's one of the most important parts to open-source (ya know, since it's the foundation of uFincs' security), but it's a matter of getting everything in order.

Well yes. But I assume they would react once or even before competition like municipal broadband is available . Except from reading this doesn't seems to be the case at all.
I haven't tried Vite, but I tried ESBuild last weekend on a personal project and was absolutely blown away. Even as someone who's become pretty comfortable working in the Webpack trenches, I don't see myself starting a new project with Webpack ever again. There's just no reason to when you can get the exact same output, much faster, without any of the headaches.
