There's a arguably better, higher level writeup at https://cyclingtips.com/2021/04/making-sense-of-the-controve... which concludes:

> The black line is a visual approximation of the placement of the finish, but the image from the photo finish camera is the true arbiter of the result – not the other way around. It’s technical and it’s a bit confusing, but it’s clear-cut and the riders and officials are playing the same game with the same known set of rules.

> According to UCI regulations, the photo finish verdict is final, because the finish line is what the photo finish says it is.

Which makes most of the detective work here sadly pointless.

If this is what the workers got without a union, imagine how much better it could be with a union negotiating on their behalf?

I honestly haven’t had private insurance in maybe 10 years so I don’t know if and how things may have changed. And timing may also have simply worked out when I did.

What’s horrible is, imagine being let go or quitting your job, not being able to afford COBRA (or whatever it’s called now) and then not even being able to signup for private insurance due to open enrollment period not lining up.

I follow some people in social media from when I worked at Starbucks. I saw recently someone saying they feel something on one hand and not the other. Someone commented that it was time for some home surgery and they agreed.

I have no idea if they are serious or not, and that worries me. I would hope they’re joking, but with the state of things, who knows (and I honestly think if needed, they’d do it).
Yeah, but everyone was listening to Eurotrance and pre-hardbass here in 2000.

You kickstarted the acid house genre, but you let it rot
in the dust in the 90's.

We Europeans had a huge underground fanbase since late 80's,
and since mid-90's trance has been huge for example in
Spain and Germany, up to the point to be broadcasted in
the state-backed first TV channel in the mornings.
The initial 7 reads simply save you from doing the last 64 incase there is no chance of winning.

Put those 7 on fast media and you'll very quickly know "I might have won". But without the results from the rest of the 64 reads in a couple of seconds, you won't actually win.

I’m also on 40 (out of 76) and while we’ll probably all die if there’s an earthquake, that’s true in a lot of NIMBYtowns too.

I could see whole cities of mostly >50 stories, but then unblockable views start to get immensely valuable right?

So as the city fills up and you discover which locations have more durable views, you need to start tearing down those skyscrapers to replace them with more luxurious ones.

Not sure if that’s dystopian, but I do quite like the view from up here.
It has nothing to do with differentiating reality from fantasy. It has to do with whether a given pleasure association is strengthened or weakened. Pedophiles seek out these stimuli because of a pre-existing attraction toward children in the real world.

The fastest way to convince me not to use a product is to attach the word "Google" to it. I have been de-Googled for quite some time and things like this only confirm my decision.

Never give anyone your exact DOB unless they have a proven need to know. Your name and DOB can be used to obtain all of your personal info including SSN.

If you must ignore my advice and use Google "services", create an alternate, consistent online personna which leaks a minimum of real personal data.

Use the month of your DOB as is but always enter "1" as the day and always subtract a fixed amount "X" from the real year. This makes your personna "X" years older than you really are.

This corrupts your profile and is easily/consistently reproduced when/if you're asked to verify again after you can't be absolutely identified.

Consistency is key. They are unlikely to ban/disable your personna if you provide a consistent DOB and age.

FLoC you Google.

If you are on Android there are several apps that allow you to view your notification history like Unnotification[1]

You can search as well but it doesn't sync, so the "viewable from any device" bit is not possible. It also deletes notifications older than 3 days by default, though you can configure this.

I still find it very useful occasionally when I dismiss a message notification and then forget which app it was from.

"We don't need them because it has downsides for me." is an argument for Unions, not against them. The fact that he accepts the need/value for workers in a union, then completely ignores that to say they are not needed because it's bad for the business just shows not even the willingness to pretend to care about employees.

We see, time and time again, that as businesses do better, they don't use that to help employees, they use that as a weapon to treat employees worse. As they get bigger they can drive out competitors who might compete for employees, and can more easily replace any employee, reducing their ability to negotiate more. "What is good for the business is good for the employee." clearly does not hold for most businesses like Walmart.

Ask HN: Which CSS Framework to Choose?
I am valuating which CSS Framework to choose for my Vuejs project.

Bootstrap has js components (i would like it to be js agnostic) and doesn't have dark mode feature.

Bulma doesn't look good imo. Also,i feel it to be limited.

Tailwind css looks good. I prototyped it for my project. But, HTML looks unnecessarily messy and verbose.

Other CSS frameworks are either dead or not properly maintained.

Which one are you using? should i ditch CSS framework and style using raw CSS? I am confused now.

Removed the reading the article bit.

1. OP says: unions are good they bring democracy into
things.

2. You say: They had a democratic vote

3. I say: The article is alleging that they didn't have a democratic vote.

Your comment is clearly stating that the vote was democratic, the unions lost, so we should move on. The entire article that this conversation is about is saying that the vote wasn't democratic and was coerced. My response stands, you can't just say "democratic vote, lets move on", because if the allegations are true then there wasn't a democratic vote.

>And divisiveness, by breaking down direct communication, makes it harder to take care of customers, to be competitive, and to gain market share

That is all true, it also makes it easier for employees to negotiate a better deal for themselves, which then encourages management to replace the people with foreign labor or robots. Such is life.
Do you have any idea the amount of effort it takes to train 36 people? Not only that, but it would cost payroll for X months PLUS the cost of training, with uncertain results, and they would still start with zero working experience. Hiring is a much better, less risky filter.

Companies are not families with irreversible bonds, and everyone, especially employees, are better off acknowledging that.
It's always struck me as weird that unions in the US exclude management, even when "management" is defined as "someone getting paid $2 more per hour to train and schedule workers." The interests of a Wal-Mart bakery manager and other bakery workers are generally closely aligned, so Mr. Walton has something of a point there. And frankly the same is true of knowledge work - the interests of someone like me who's a senior engineer on the IC track are generally closely aligned with someone who took the manager track, which starts out at the same level, and has three or four junior engineers as direct reports.

Now, the interests of the entire staff at any given Wal-Mart store are generally not aligned with those of Mr. Walton, nor are the interests of engineering staff and line managers aligned with the interests of the C-suite. Simply having supervisory authority doesn't really change the pressures on you, especially when there's an IC track (whether baker or engineer) very close to your role. Nor are the interests of the staff of any Starbucks store aligned with those of Starbucks corporate, nor those of almost everyone involved with physically shipping Amazon packages with those of Amazon corporate, nor those of the people racking Google datacenters and those of SVPs at Google, etc.

So there is an entirely natural division that already exists. Our present form of union forces everyone with supervisory authority to take the side of the big bosses. I think if we had unions that could genuinely represent all laborers, they'd work a lot better.
An accurate history. Got to see where this music evolved from in real time. Worked in an all-black mailroom (except me) in the 70s where there was one station and one station only: Los Angeles’ KISS 106. You heard Cerrone, Cameo, Toto, Grandmaster Flash, Prince, Teena Marie, Kool and the Gang, Black Russian, EWF—-the least formatted format on the market. It was a Cambrian explosion of dance music, much of which became the basis of techno styles.

Combine that with the fact that Southern California set so many music trends, and literally nothing until about the Nirvana era was even remotely new to me for decades (and of course Nirvana’s music style isn’t particularly new to anyone who listened to the White Album or Iggy Pop, not that it’s not great music). It was all recycled constantly in the dance music world and continues to be to this day.

Techno and hiphop so obviously came out of these roots that I laugh every time someone names a new variant of EDM, which is about twice a week. Prince, Earth, Wind and Fire, and Kool in the Gang didn’t even call themselves R&B groups. They called themselves rock bands, intentionally. Nothing new etc.

> The traditional Domain Name System (DNS) lacks fundamental features of security and privacy in its design. As concerns of privacy increased on the Internet, security and privacy enhancements of DNS have been actively investigated and deployed. Specially for user’s privacy in DNS queries, several relay-based anonymization schemes have been recently introduced, however, they are vulnerable to the collusion of a relay with a full-service resolver, i.e., identities of users cannot be hidden to the resolver. This paper introduces a new concept of a multiple-relay-based DNS for user anonymity in DNS queries, called the mutualized oblivious DNS (𝜇ODNS), by extending the concept of existing relay-based schemes. The 𝜇ODNS introduces a small and reasonable assumption that each user has at least one trusted/dedicated relay in a network and mutually shares the dedicated one with others. The user just sets the dedicated one as his next-hop, first relay, conveying his queries to the resolver, and randomly chooses its 0 or more subsequent relays shared by other entities. Under this small assumption, the user’s identity is concealed to a target resolver in the 𝜇ODNS even if a certain (unknown)subset of relays collude with the resolver. That is, in 𝜇ODNS, users can preserve their privacy and anonymity just by paying a small cost of sharing its resource. Moreover, we present a PoC implementation of 𝜇ODNS that is publicly available on the Internet. We also show that by measurement of round-trip-time for queries, and our PoC implementation of 𝜇ODNS achieves the performance comparable to existing relay-based schemes.

PoC implementations:

- A forked version of dnscrypt-proxy for μODNS https://github.com/junkurihara/dnscrypt-proxy-modns

- A forked version of encrypted-dns-server for μODNS https://github.com/junkurihara/encrypted-dns-server-modns

- Experimental resolvers of DNSCrypt v2 and relays of PoC μODNS https://github.com/junkurihara/experimental-resolvers
Aren't you committing the same blunder? Hating all people of a country, because some of them hate you?
Oh, and lets be clear:

I do not believe for a minute all this wanting to replace email is about the pain of countless people. There is pain, no doubt. I have some myself.

It is all about massive adoption being equated to massive dollars. That tends to amplify these things.
That's basically a pinky-swear guarantee of privacy. Unless it's auditable, we only have their word to go by.
It's not though.

In the last 50 years, you can probably count the number of chart-toppers without lyrics on one hand. Animals, Axel F, Doop, Flat Beat, and Sandstorm (and I am not sure if these even topped charts everywhere).

Sure, if you are into the niche of EDM or techno club music, the situation is different, but none of those tunes sell millions of copies.
I doubt this will actually happen because of such ruling - not that it wont happen, but at most said ruling will be the excuse, not the reason (reason being plain old greed).

It is like the false dichotomy between paying for software vs paying with your data: developers can simply do both (and many are doing both). Or, in games, the idea that DLCs, microtransactions, etc are "necessary" due to the high costs of development when in reality this is just an excuse and they only exist because they provide extra money and the companies can get away with it.

So similarly to the above, subscriptions, higher prices, etc will happen not because the developers have to use them but because they are simply more profitable and since a response like "we did it because we wanted more money" isn't exactly PR friendly, they'll just put the blame in the vague and far away direction of EU and other similar scapegoats.
Built into the very fabric of unionism is the acknowledgement that capital and labor have fundamentally different goals, i.e. class struggle. An acknowledgment for which the only logical conclusion is an independent workers movement.

There is a term for unions that don't acknowledge this divide and favor a "collaboration" between capital and labor: Yellow unions. It is not an endearing term and they are (rightfully) outlawed in the US.

”simply pointing out the existence of propaganda”

Why do you assume only you can see that’s it’s propaganda and they can’t?
One "fix" could be an opt-in key, which you can revoke. A new sender will enter your inbox, and can be more easily identified as spam. You can send an opt-in key, which skips the filters, or at least puts the message in your inbox.

If you notice unwanted emails (maybe from another sender), you'll know:
- the sender is misusing the key
- if the key had been compromised / sold / stolen, the new sender is a misbehaving party (maybe can't use the key if it's linked to the sender address or domain)

You can then revoke the key, and block the sender. The MTAs can use this information to blacklist abusers.

When the key is revoked, the sender will need to re-request a new one.

The 'solution' here is that the key is now something valuable and linked to their operations, so they won't resell this. It also becomes apparent when keys have been stolen.
It would also be possible to add automatic key rotation (key update when sending an email).
In my state, you can no longer be forced to join a union. At my employer, there are something like 1000 people eligible to join the union. 99% of them are in the union. They often find the people that aren't in the union didn't join simply because they didn't know they could join.

Yes, that's anecdotal, but I've been in two unions at two separate jobs and have literally never met anyone who wishes they weren't in it.
Here in upstate New York, my insurer's Bronze plans run about $1100/month for a family (https://myportal.dfs.ny.gov/documents/538523/9578747/Excellu...).

That gets you a $10k family deductible, and a $13,100 max out-of-pocket. https://www.nyhealthinsurer.com/insurance/pdfs/plans/1319

I pay $2,200 a month for a family Platinum plan, in order to get $0 deductible and $4k/year max OOP.

The true cost of healthcare is masked for most, via their employer coverage - quite a few people seem to genuinely believe theirs costs just $20/month because that's the portion they directly pay. It's quite the scam on the American public.
That's right. SubtleCrypto implementations are also fast, and available on mobile browsers. SubtleCrypto has some design choices to avoid common mistakes to reduce risk of vulnerable implementations[1], and as such it's aimed at the general developer.

In my opinion, more developers should familiarize themselves with the tools and start looking at how they could implement security for their users.

Processing highly critical data, such as PII or financial data, is not a requirement to use cryptography. Starting out, on could well be served by trying it in personal projects or even public data. This way, uncovering a vulnerable design could mean uncovering data that was already meant to be seen.

Some will always argue it's the wrong or the dangerous thing to do, and they will never ship security to their users, I guess.

–

[1]: For example, the ReactDOM manipulations breaks this security model because SubtleCrypto will only interface with the DOM. There are additional libs as workarounds for these issues tho.

How the creator economy monetises beyond advertising
At that point, why let them sleep at all? Just pull your random "lottery ticket numbers" and the one with the lowest wins. Besides, how do we pick the numbers? Is there a central authority here (which would defeat the entire point of having a blockchain in the first place), or do we just trust the nodes themselves to fairly role a dice?

How do we verify that another system fairly rolled their dice in the first place or actually waited for that long? Is this the point where Intel starts trying to sell me SGX?

Is there an actual paper behind this, that explains the concept in a way that doesn't sound ridiculous? From the fact that the website has descriptive links to big words like "algorithm", I take it that the intended audience isn't the technical kind.
The result is that world becomes more and more boring. No interesting discussion can take place. Environment becomes more toxic and it's mainly due to radicals who perceive everything as offensive and everybody who disagrees as "nazi" or "racist" or "-phobic".
