As a practical matter, you'd have to be insane to be espousing very unpopular views under the same name you use for employment.

If I do something outside of work in a public way, and a significant percentage of coworkers find it objectionable, it will shrink my professional network and make building relationships more difficult. Nobody wants to work with someone they find morally repulsive. There's no legal recourse available for this.

Also, from my coworkers' point of view, I'm the one causing the workplace to be unpleasant, and they might start a campaign to have me removed.

From my employer's point of view, I've done some action outside of work that's caused a problem, and now we have a problem at work. That means I've caused a problem at work.

If I can be terminated without legal risk, my employer can terminate me to satisfy the other coworkers.

If I can't be terminated legally, then I can be sidelined, put on a PIP, and eventually forced out of the organization. There's unlikely to be any legal recourse available to me if this is done correctly with good documentation.

Maybe employment shouldn't work this way, but it does.

In season vegetables are dirt cheap. If not frozen, prepared, mixed veggies are a couple dollars for 5-6 servings (no need to wash or cut!). Chicken is easy to find at <$3/lb, same with hamburger. Rice and beans are dollars per pound.

The real answer is, like most things that humans do that aren’t good for them (eat too much and end up obese, not exercise, not eat healthy, smoke, drink too much, not take medication or go to the doctor or dentist), is cheap, starchy food is just easier and lower effort.

Speaking from the perspective of having generally owned older trucks (currently a '97 Dodge Ram 1500, previously an '84 Ford F350) - conventionally built, body-on-frame pickups are easier to repair and maintain. Most minivans are monocoque, whereas full-size pickup trucks have enough space between the internals to make DIY repairs straightforward. On my 84 F350, I could fit my head between the tire and the wheel well to bleed the brakes easily; on my current '97 Ram, you can replace body panels using a socket wrench.

EVs may tilt the equation, but one thing Big Three US automakers have absolutely perfected for their trucks over the last 40 years is maintainability. Go on autotrader.com, search "Ford F-150" or "Dodge Ram 1500" and sort mileage high to low - can a 20 year old minivan travel roughly the same distance as the moon and back?

People who huffily decry "politics" also tend to have political beliefs which they feel are apolitical. Examining and unpacking those beliefs is "political," however, so that the net result is "I just don't want my politics questioned or examined, even when it affects other people."
Huh. I've chatted to Dani several times (we go to the same bar and share a circle of friends). She is hella smart. Sadly she's yet to have had the third thumb with her whenever we've met, but I know a bunch of our mutual friends who've tried it and seemed to get on with it very quickly indeed. Did not expect to find it on the front page of hacker news though!
Haven't really persued a solution to these gpu/heat/noise issues yet.

Though, a few months ago I had contacted Apple about a different matter and mentioned these problems to the agent who then told me that was the first time they and their colleagues had heard of this issue.

Their tone and the very many words they used to convey this told a different story. Going to be an interesting case when I finally have time to get this sorted.

Edit: Not saying it's company policy to deny this issue exists. It could just have been this agent not wanting to deal with it (maybe because it'd end up in a concession which would look bad on his profile?)

Raw ingredients are more expensive than you would think, and while you can eat very cheaply (rice, beans, onions, a few spices), most people aren't particularly good cooks. Add in that for poor people in the U.S., many work multiple jobs if they live in a city, and who wants to cook after a 12 hour day of working.

I suspect they want to get rid of ethically-minded employees who could potentially become whistle-blowers later when they find out how the company really makes its money.

The next step will be to start increasing the salaries and bonuses of remaining employees.

If you're ethically-minded, the best strategy is to stay in the company, pretend to be one of them, then when you catch them doing something bad, blow the whistle on them.
If you have fallen for one of these scams the worst thing you can do is ignore it out of embarrassment. There are people who can help before it goes too far.

"Do as you please" isn't really true. You'll have local zoning laws to follow, taxes to pay, minimum wages to respect, health codes, fire safety codes and on and on. So already you're at the behest of regulations.

Then, you're not employing tools or widgets. Tools are inanimate objects created by humans. Humans are thinking beings that have emotions. It's a fantasy to think you can abstract it away just because you pay them in some cotten/linen paper.

"justice ... Empiricism fails us here, we're arguing over values."

Values can depend on descriptive background assumptions and in such cases value arguments can improve by making progress on factual topics. In the case of the justness of punishment: the topic of determinism. The recent discussion by Daniel Dennett and Greg Caruso in their book "Just Deserts - Debating Free Will" is a useful read.

The problem is installing a random deb, and it's dependancies, can be quite tricky. Also, you need your users to know if they need AppImage, flatpak, snap, etc. (I'm an Ubuntu user. I know it uses deb, I have no idea which of AppImage, flatpak or snap it uses).

Also, you have to keep them up to date as new distro versions are released, whereas many games work on a principle of "release, and done".

Making a release where you link as much as you can statically increases the chances it will work in the future.

Wasn't there a big scandal some years ago about the big tech players making deals under the table about wages and not poaching each other's talent? At some point, when there is too much to lose, big companies are going to start collaborating on things that are not beneficial to the worker. At that point, you might say that you have total freedom in your choice of where to go to work, but you are also limited by the 'invisible hand of the market'

But yeah, I do agree that a direct comparison of programmers to serfs is a bit overboard. However, I am also seeing it in the sense that things don't really change much, even in a few centuries. The world is probably getting better for the people, but that doesn't mean that the same old tactics by the rich and powerful don't appear in new clothes.

Ok, makes sense. But why does this make any difference to the crux of my argument? - if that supermarket employee is wearing a mask, they’re going to spread it to less people.
I'm actually super curious - and really wish they did a deeper dive on - how they narrowed down the glibc dependency to just the 3 math functions, and then how they found the singular places where those were used, especially in a Rust codebase...?

Also, as to patchelf, does it require an absolute path? If yes, are they patching post-download? I doubt they would somehow try to force Linux or the user to always put the binary in the same abs path, right?

> Society would be better off glorifying entrepreneurs than instagram celebrities.

How about that happens after they retire at 80? That would be a good balance. You glorify an entrepreneur and soon enough he'd be pushing BS vaporware products or using his cult of personality to raise endless equity at absurd valuation or outright scamming the government (Musk cough cough...conman cough cough)
This is sort of a variant of the voluntary settlement hypothesis which I always found entertaining.
How about when the grievance has to do with work itself? Something like James Damore. Or the inverse, someone bringing up a mysogynistic culture company-wide? What if the company implicitly looks down upon people with left/right leanings, depending on whether it's in Alabama or California?

I agree with the general sentiment that going to the office, collecting your paycheck and going home is the smoothest ride for everyone, but honestly, beyond a certain size, I think it's unavoidable to have these kinds of frictions.
> It's not a choice. You have a (metaphorical) pistol to your head to engage with the system as it is, die, or be killed.

This is ridiculous. In the US people constantly quit to start small businesses, work for other businesses, or just not work at all. There is zero threat of violence if you choose not to work.

Additionally, there is no concept of debt slavery at all outside of the military (which is probably the most successful socialist institution in the US). There is no forced labor to pay down debt.

My partner and I cook almost 100% of our meals at home. I shop for groceries 1x a week, and it takes about 1 hour. Meal prep / cooking and cleaning varies a bit. We generally cook 1 roast chicken a week, and a pot roast in a slow cooker. Having pre-cooked proteins helps with meal prep time. We use a rice cooker often, and will usually toss some veggies in there with the rice to simplify things. That said, overall we probably spend 30-40 min a day on food prep, and another 10 min a day cleaning. When we cooked different meals every night, it was generally closer to 90 minutes a day on food prep / cleaning. Learning to cook takes time, learning to cook well takes more time, learning to cook efficiently and how to minimize time involved takes time.

Even with different values, there’s room for common ground.

For instance, you could both support programs to prevent people turning to crime (proactively), without changing the strictness of enforcement. Assuming they were effective, that would make progress on both the safety and social justice angles.

This is how you create effective change at scale - not focusing on the points where your values guarantee conflict, but finding approaches that can have broad support.

Selected Firms Lists Invozone Among Top Ecommerce Development Companies in USA
I tend to agree to this viewpoint. Most of the impactful products are built by people who are inspired to build the product, sometimes even to the extent of hating the entrepreneur. For them work is almost a part of life.I don't mean that such people think of work all the time and don't have other interests in life, but largely what they are building is kind of ingrained into their life. It's really difficult to separate what they do from who they are. Almost every leader wants their team to exhibit these characters albeit on a spectrum.

But what comes with that is the personality attributes, political viewpoints etc. It's hard to disagree on some fundamental traits and still continue to work together. At least in these teams which tend to get closely knit.

This could potentially lead to homogenous teams which we don't want.We want teams to hash out diverse and conflicting ideas.
Really hard balance to achieve.

> And yes they are owed your skills because they are paying you for them

I'm unaware of any typical employer ever paying wages/salary in advance, it's always in arrears, so on that basis there's no point at which the employee owes the employer their skills.
In your example, you forget that there is a competing private road just next to it. And competitors aren’t arguing about not being able to put new competing roads, they are arguing that they should be able to put tollboths on Apples road, because even though Apple don’t have a monopoly and don’t even have the most used road, it is still a very profitable road for Apple.
Apparently 65% of users of twitch are men. Gaming and porn are interlinked in internet culture so it's not clear why companies should go on crusades against what is reality.

>We were nowhere near as poor as some people, and it was only for a few years, and it was self-inflicted to some extent because I was starting a startup while my wife was getting reeducated. So I don't know what it's like to be really poor.

Not to mention that, from all I've seen and heard, European poor is also quite better off than US poor.

US poor means poor && deemed as a personal and moral failure && left socially unsupported && looked down upon in a class-aware way that's even worse than UK's traditional classism && getting into much more dangerous situations with much more crazies around, some of which will even be armed.

And as US poor, you also remain the one segment of society people can freely joke around and look down upon. They might pretend to support blacks, gays etc. in the asbstract, but could not care less if those are also dirt poor. As for the white poor, they don't even have the redeeming token minority status qualities so are open season for everybody - you could call them "white trash" with impunity.

How to Cartoonize an Image with Python
It's fun to read stories like yours and others here. A lot of us probably have similar. I think I enjoy telling mine because each time I retell it I get a little bit of that great feeling again of suddenly being able to buy what I want at the grocery store.

About mid-way through high school the family business went bankrupt and all assumptions about how I would go to college evaporated. So instead I ended up going to an electronics trade school on a student loan.

I did not have to pay tuition until after graduation, but I did have to pay all my living expenses myself. Had a minimum wage part time job from which to make rent, bills and food. Could barely afford to eat.

Got turned onto a store called WareMart that sold mega size boxes of really cheap products. A fellow poor schoolmate showed how to buy a huge brick of fake Velveeta cheese, giant tub of margarine and a potato-sack-size bag of elbow macaroni to make super cheap mac-n-cheese. The secret was to boil the macaroni for a long time so it would absorb a lot of water and get huge, then add a scoop of margarine and slab of cheese. You could eat for weeks on one purchase.

It was disgusting. But I lived, and finished school.

Upon graduation I had three offers at weekly salaries for more money than I had ever held in my hands. When I cashed my first paycheck I went to the grocery story and filled the basket with steaks and grilled one every night. Man, what a feeling. Despite making tons more in later years I have never felt so rich as when I spent that first paycheck.
Encrypt. This is a silly reason. Why not make devices with removable disks? They could be removed and sent for repair. Not everything have to be soldered.
I installed Fedora Linux recently and used it for a few days. I did not spot a single bug, despite using it in a quite heavy scenario (Docker, Android Emulator, IDE, big file transfers). For example Windows had issues with sound drivers and GPU drivers, Linux is rock stable.

Also it was as easy as macOS install: I just installed it in a 5 minutes and it was ready to work. With Windows I had to spent hours to install all the drivers from the manufacturer website (I tried to let Windows to install their own drivers, but it did not find all the necessary drivers).

I have few issues with some Linux UI choices, for example I don't like Gnome 3 UI. But that's not a bug.

Forcing a repairable device reduces waste and is, in my opinion, better for the vast majority of consumers.
Thanks for sharing this. I saw myself so much on your comment talking about the sandwich that I decided to share my story too.

I was born in a Latin America country, middle class family, 375 USD monthly income for a house of 6 people.

Although I never went a full day without eating at least two meals, it wasn't rare to go sleep hungry.

My mom still managed to buy a PC for us, and that alone changed everything: I discovered programming in my early teens through a MMO game and learned web development, and since then I never stopped.

I'm now on my mid-twenties, but because I started so early with programming, I kinda hacked my career growth: to this day I already have 10 years of experience with JavaScript, as I was still a teen on my first internships. Started a CS bachelor but dropped as it was waste of time for me.

Today I work as the principal software engineer for a US startup remotely, and make 40x of my country's minimum wage.

Living through this gave me an empathy that I believe it's really hard to develop if you were born rich (definition of rich here: >upper middle class). There are so much things people take for granted, and they aren't available for people in lower classes at all. Geography is the biggest inequality in the world by a large margin.

Well, each user, so you are well within your rights to define any of your systems as mission-critical, if that's how you consider them.
