The portrayal of a whole spectrum of ethical questions as "religious" is the most bad faith interpretation I see deployed basically all the time in these types of discussions. It's practically a senseless meme at this point.

We're literally talking about people keeping a list of names they thought were funny that lead to the situation, which apparently enough people internally found offensive, and you have people in this thread talking about "professionalism" and "religious thinking"; what?
Bringing this back to the specific instance at hand: China sees the buildup of arms in Taiwan as a stockpile for the US to invade mainland China? No way. (I mean, yes, they might be paranoid enough to see it that way, but it's completely divorced from reality. There is exactly zero chance that the US would do so. What's much more likely is that they would use it as an excuse to move to "counter US aggression".)

> Right, if you think DE&I consists of "new ways to suggest everyone else stop being so racist / sexist / bigoted", you're clearly not into it.

There's no other way for 20 out of 58 people to spend any significant length of time focused on D&I of the company they work for.

1 out of 58? Maybe. But 20? There's only one way this thing can end.

> If 20 employees were on the "social" committee planning a holiday party, would you consider that as "off the rails", because you are paying them (some here unspecified number of hours) to throw a damn party? I doubt anyone would get that up in arms about it.

A party planning committee is not targeting the rest of the company.

> I get it, you think DE&I is a mistake,

I didn't say it was a mistake. I said 1/3 of a small remote company focused on it shows it was off the rails.

Maybe they should have just joined in. Each of the 58 employees could be brainstorming ways the other 57 employees can be less bigoted. Just hope they could find some time to write software, too.
I disagree. While learning to operate a grill or deep fryer isn't a skill many are likely to need in the future there are dozens of generalist skills learned from your first job.
Think teamwork, following managerial directions, following a roster, how to complete timesheets, how to deal with workplace conflict, how to deal with suppliers and customers, how to dress appropriatly, even how to count money/operate a register. Fast food jobs are a great place to make mistakes as a teen as the consequences are minimal and you can get another job easily. If you've never worked in any workplace you'll find it far harder to get hired.

Doing any work fundamentally pushes some political view. Mostly today it's neoliberalism in some form.

I think an obvious alternative is to expect employees to actually support neoliberalism as a job qualification.

Same as if you were working for an evangelical church, you'd expect people to try and convert everyone to Christianity

The issue is I’m not sure if it’s something I can just dip my toe in to try. The more research I do that more apparent that the things I want to do will require an all or nothing investment.
I don't think we know why these people resigned, since the severance package was so generous that many of them may have just taken the excuse for a long holiday.

I would count myself as someone who would simultaneously be thrilled with management's decision to ban political discussion at work but also quit to get the six months pay.

I have been thinking about trying Chia mining to learn about it but haven’t read the details. One video said that his HDD was only like 2x the time to farm a plot compared to a SATA SSD and the real bottleneck is long term storage so I can’t see why anyone would be in such a rush that they would burn out their SSD. Haven’t looked too deeply into it yet though.
By "they", I presume you mean the PRC. But there's more to capitalism than just the existence of corporations. The PRC is not responding to market forces like price signals.
I think quoting the unsustainable part of OP instead of the net pay part led to lots of misinterpretation. Sustainability in a pay context is IMO strongly linked to a living wage, or at least a survivable wage.
I'd lean that they are equivalent. Both are all about espousing what the right way to be a human is, and more specifically have strong opinions about the wrong way to be a human
> A natural monopoly is a monopoly in an industry in which high infrastructural costs and other barriers to entry relative to the size of the market give the largest supplier in an industry, often the first supplier in a market, an overwhelming advantage over potential competitors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_monopoly

It might not be limited to just one for all markets, but two choices isn't very competitive due to the massive infrastructural costs and other barriers of entry (e.g., rights of way). Also, my current residence is an example where there actually is competition. As pointed out above, just because the FCC says there's 2+ broadband providers they're including two satellite providers. So a lot of those 3 provider places are really single wireline providers.

Once again, is a market where all restaurants are either McDonalds or Burger King an example good competition?
It’s one thing to solicit feedback and be open to the input of your team. It’s another, often ineffective, thing to let your team lead you. How would a leader make a decision when there are conflicting views or recommendations.

Brian Epstein made lots of decisions without the bands opinion and many more when they disagreed.
>If they honestly can't afford to pay a living wage

It's not logical to kill businesses by arbitrarily raising the minimum wage. Do you think the people they employ are better off not working at all? These people may not have a decent enough salary, but they get to work as opposed to staying at home and degenerate (mentally and physically). I always thought the better solution is to help them financially in other ways (greater tax credits, negative taxes?).
This is true but it doesn’t change the structural reality that a leader makes a decision.

Disclosure: I'm a Winter CMS maintainer and former October CMS maintainer.

I wrote the "Features for Developers" page (https://wintercms.com/features/for-developers) on the Winter CMS site, which pretty much summarises my thoughts on the advantages of Winter CMS development.

I was using October CMS for years before I became a maintainer, and the thing that hooked me was the plugin architecture. It is incredibly simple to extend nearly every facet of the CMS to do what I want for my clients.

I've developed (and still do) develop WordPress sites, and I find trying to "extend" or customise some plugins to be like pulling teeth if they're not using the hook system correctly.

The fact it's built on, and supports most of the API of, Laravel is a bonus to me too.

I've dabbled a little in Drupal but don't have enough experience to give a good comparison in between those two.

What Neanderthals did to Homo Erectus, and what early indigenous Homo Sapien tribes did to Neanderthals; later indigenous tribes did to earlier indigenous tribes; and so on and so forth.

At no point was the land homesteaded — by indigenous tribes or otherwise — ever fully unoccupied prior, by some definition of “unoccupied”. Intelligent lifeforms had to be driven from their rightful homes by “invaders”, categorically.

Nomads in antiquity — oweing to the lack of societal advancement — could settle air quotes “unoccupied” land. This is no longer possible in the modern, advanced world where every square inch of earth is claimed by a reasonably well-organized group of (highly violent) people, at minimum. Which means nomadism in today’s world isn’t what it once was. Nomadism in antiquity might even be viewed as outright nation building; after all, every nation has to start somewhere. But nomadism in modernity — and I say this as someone with a reasonable level of experience backpacking in various countries — is really just glorified homelessness, and I think that’s a point worth making.

> For example, the government commits to broadcasting the GPS signal in space with a global average user range error (URE) of ≤7.8 m (25.6 ft.), with 95% probability. Actual performance exceeds the specification. On May 11, 2016, the global average URE was ≤0.715 m (2.3 ft.), 95% of the time

Which assumes clear skies and good line of sight... Neither condition exist inside your pocket or house.

Regardless, none of the technologies you listed are accurate enough for police to legally search a person or their home simply because some tech company says a device is located around some dot on a screen.

PS: Your warehouse tracking thing is interesting, although I think you'd of had an easier time tracking gyroscope/accelerometer senor data.
There is speaking with humility, then there is just being downright, purposefully naive.

Of course they never would have shipped it if it didn't recognize white faces. And the big isn't in the software, the bug is that the companies producing this stuff don't have a single solitary person of color either working on the product or testing it that would have certainly noticed that it doesn't work on them or said they were an animal, etc.
> The crisis is laying bare the cracks in Amazon’s ability to be there for its customers when they need it most, much less to “delight” them,” wrote Christopher Mims at the Wall Street Journal in April 2020 in an article titled “Will We Forgive Amazon When This Is Over?” A year later, the answer is yes.

> Effective April 22nd, 2021, Amazon removed product-level quantity limits and instead set new account-level limits. The change again attracted critique because for many sellers, it further reduced available warehouse space, but also because it was announced and became effective on the same day.

My takeaway from this article is Amazon gave virtually limitless space to sellers, and now they’re trying different strategies — presumably because they only have so many warehouses but an increasing number of sellers, and presumably, the supply of warehouses is outpacing sellers.

And I imagine there’s a hard logistical/optimization problem of how/where to distribute and organize all the product so you can deliver it same day or next day. You try to over optimize and people will wear out and quit. If they fully automate all of this with robots, I imagine there would be public anger from all the lost warehouses jobs (assuming the tech is even possible).

A business grows and faces new constraints. What’s the surprise here? The sky is blue, and water is wet. You can’t scale infinitely.
Good advice for the system design level of abstraction in the other comments. But do try to remember, no matter what, everything is just a computer running some code and shoving some data around to various other computers or devices. We lose sight of that a lot and consider the systems we abstract as somehow different from a computer. Avoid it as much as you can.
His customers got them banned by doing reckless things.
This is such an amazingly terrible invention I have no clue where to begin. How many people will be sexually assaulted by predators planting these devices in the bags of unsuspecting folks at bars and tracking their every location? How many domestic abuse survivors will be terrorized by their abusers planting the tag on some possession then having access to their every location? Hell, how many folks will be burglarized by criminals who plant the tag on their car and can see when someone is away for on a distant vacation.

Some technology very much should not exist. “Tags that use an unsuspecting victim’s own phone to report their location back to a would-be criminal without their consent” is definitely on the list.

That being said, there are very easy ways to make this unusable for these cases, and I have no clue why they haven’t been implanted. Off the top of my head: a notification any time a tag has been away from it’s owners device for more than X time and has been around your device for at least Y time since, saying “it looks like XXX’s airtag has been lost and is with you, click here to message them”. Yes, this would sacrifice the privacy of the airtag owner, but it’s an opt-in, they only suffer if they buy an airtag. Compared to as-is a completely random unsuspecting person with no involvement in the ecosystem has both their privacy and security compromised.

> If you raise your prices ... and your competitor doesn't

this means your business is less efficient than your competitor's, or you are asking for a higher margin than your competitor. Both means that the business deservedly fail under the raised minimum wage.

if everybody has to raise their prices to fund the higher minimum wage, then it means the original minimun wage was already at the optimal level for your business!

No, it's about DHH using politics as a stand-in for the actual issue: they mishandled this issue with the name list, they got called out and held to task for it, and they don't like that behavior.

The politics thing really amounts to "don't challenge me" and is a nice diversion from the actual issue.
They said it could be Monday.
>I think the government should guarantee some minimum wage and top people who don't earn that.

That would be horrible. The bottom of wages would drop to zero (since offering above zero but below the government guatantee would provide no benefit in highering.) This would drag down other low wages since the jump from paying zero to paying just over minmum would be a huge cost increase for a minor highering benefit.

UBI is really the only functional alternative to a minimum wage.
Bear in mind matter isn't the only component. Energy is another huge input to the system. E.g. blockchain and its derivatives use tiny amounts of matter to use enormous amounts of energy.

We can and must develop more environmentally responsible sources of matter and energy. Trying to change human behavior with our current regulatory controls have been demonstrably inadequate. There are sources of matter and energy that do not run out, I believe them to be in space.
ebooks are a boon to those with poor eyesight who can adjust the contrast and size of text. Yes, you can purchase large font editions but those are costly and the selection is poor. With e-books, an entire new world is opened up.

I would imagine this is a great space for blind readers as well, with text to speech technology.

They are also fantastic for plane rides, travel, and other situations where you are away from your home library.

More and more, physical books to me are becoming fetish objects for collecting. There are rare books and special presses in I like to collect, but for reading I go with the ebook.
> It is kind of fine if governments do things their citizens don't like.

Quite a few people would disagree. There's that whole consent of the governed thing, for example - and 50%+1 is certainly not it.
It should be made known that "about one-third" of basecamp employees would be what 15-16 or so?

It's not difficult to imagine that you'd have a handful of people who felt politically / socially strong enough to take the buyout for their stated reason and another handful that saw 6 months of pay and a high demand job market and went for it as well.

1/3 sounds like a big deal if you are thinking basecamp is a massive company but in reality they are less than 60 people last time I checked.

If I have a company with 2 other people and one of us leaves due to some sort of dispute, that's also a 1/3 but has a very different feel than if a 1000 head count shop loses 333 people.
These questions are a bit outdated. People read all the time now. They write all the time. It's just that they read text online that is rarely in book form.

Intimate access to top leadership seems commendable in small in person companies. But the types of skills you have paling around the office like you’re “one of the team” are different than those when you’re faced with essentially a PR crisis. Your every word, especially when written, will be scrutinized. It’s not time to just craft your own feelings into a message. DHH seems like he would have been best suited to not be so authentic with his true feelings and consulted some professionals here instead of taking it into his own hands...
If you have kept a fast food job for six months you have shown that you will actually show up on time regularly, not steal (much) and do an at least adequate job. More generally most jobs don’t lead to a qualification but do teach skills. The more responsible the job you’ve had in the past the more likely you are to do a good job with a new one. McDonald’s does teach skills. If you want to go from a teenage hire to an assistant manager in under six months that’s doable, and managing a McDonald’s really does take skill and pay well. There are very few dead end jobs but there are plenty where most people hired there have no intention of getting promoted.

I work on food automation. It is likely that, considering human population trajectories, urbanization, reductions in arable land, rising sea levels, pollution and ever-greater challenges to high density urban environments from public health that this field of technology will permanently change the manner through which food is distributed and prepared for a substantial percentage of humans in future.

My favourite piece of art is a large format German woodcut of a farmer who is seeding a field by hand-spreading seeds folded in to a fabric sling. He, the nominal subject stares beyond the viewer with a confidence. Yet for his absence of direct engagement we learn to look beyond him, to a couple working a dual-horse plow, and beyond them to a village clocktower. From the inscription we learn of the date, at the end of the industrial revolution, at which this was carved and printed.

I like to think the artist was asking a question: what will become of the 19th century way of life - soon to disappear - under industrialism? The elements: the clock, the animal labour, and the foreground human with such an objective character going about his work (yet really just helping nature!) all tend to this interpretation. Indeed, there is nothing else to look at.

It is not fitting then, that as we replace humans in not just the farming but the preparation of food through novel technologies of automation that we look back to the innocence documented of the time and take heart of the fact that we have stood at the precipice of change before and did not fall fallow.

The Prohibition wasn't extremely unpopular back when it was passed. Indeed, it was passed due to heavy pressure from the progressive public at the time, with grassroots campaigning advocating for such measures on all levels of government.

It became extremely unpopular when it became law, and people found out what this actually means - a large black market for organized crime to cultivate, and heavy-handed enforcement with plenty of "collateral damage".
