I'm curious what the collective stance at HN is on this, because it sounds like there is a big difference between possible policies:

A. Companies agree not to persuade each other's employees to leave their role (but when they apply on their own, free to hire them)

B. Companies agree not to hire each other's employees

C. Companies agree to set a certain cap or target salary together for similar roles

I think A is not uncommon? And it is as far as I know even in my own contract that I cannot for example compel former colleagues to follow me to a new company for the first 12 months after leaving. These emails could be explained as only agreeing on A?

But the allegation I think is that some in "big tech" also did B and C or similar things? Or is just A already illegal?

There used to be powerful Palm and Windows PDAs with very capable operating systems and lots of complicated software. There were devices like the Nokia N900 (then the iPhone came and destroyed everything and everyone) and there still are handheld devices with full operating systems (like the GPD computers).

People just don't want those. Maybe you do, but for every you there are millions who don't. It's not about the business models.

Let's look at the "Bernie would spoil Biden" example.

The idea is that the Republicans endorse only one candidate, Trump, and the Democrats endorse two: Bernie and Biden. In the non-tactical voting case, the second-last round votes shake out like:

Trump 45
Biden 28
Bernie 27

Bernie is eliminated, the votes in his pile split 24 / 3 between Biden and Trump (a preference flow of 89% to Biden) and the final round of counting ends up:

Biden 52%
Trump 48%

..but tactical voting intervenes! A small number of Trump voters (2% of the total electorate) are organised to tactically switch their votes to 1. Bernie 2. Trump, resulting in a second-last round of:

Trump 43
Bernie 29
Biden 28

Now Biden is eliminated, the votes in his pile split 20 / 8 Bernie/Trump (a weaker preference flow of 71% to Bernie, because of Biden voters too conservative to vote for Bernie) and the final round is now:

Trump 51
Bernie 49

Tactical voting has won the day!

However, this really illustrates the problems here for the prospective tactical voter:

1. They need pretty perfect information to pull this off. Not just on first round votes, but on how the preferences are going to flow as well. If those Biden votes flowed a little weaker to Trump, all they'd have done is elect Bernie instead; if Trump had been a little stronger overall than they expected in the no-tactical-voting, their tactical voting attempt might have backfired completely and turned a fair Trump win into a loss! Opinion polling just isn't this precise.

2. They have a co-ordination problem. If they switch too few votes, the scheme fails and they just elect Biden with a greater margin than before; too many and the scheme fails and they elect Bernie, a candidate they're presumably less happy with actually getting the Presidency than Biden.

3. All of this only works if the balls line up perfectly in the first place, even setting aside the problem already mentioned of how you know the balls are going to line up. If the second-last round votes are instead Trump 45 / Biden 30 / Bernie 25 then the Bernie to Biden preference flow has to fall under 66% for the scheme to be possible.

Rather than trying to engage in this dubious and risky tactical voting attempt, the Trump campaign would be far better served just spending their resources trying to turn out more of their voters. After all, the theoretical possibility only exists when the margins are tight in the first place.

A tangential matter is that even in an IRV election it still probably makes sense for the parties to either endorse only a single candidate each - otherwise their candidates will waste some of their resources attacking their co-party candidate when they could have launched them against their main opposition - or at least mutually agree to distribute campaigning material advising to give a second preference to their co-party candidate (a so-called "preference swap" arrangement).

Right. Europe just loves dealing with the millions of refugees that the US-led destabilization and destruction of the middle east caused.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by "social welfare".
Fully agree with your second point. Your first point touches on why it's such an interesting and difficult problem to solve.

1. Country-wide doping systems that currently exist in weightlifting. Punishing an individual lifter does little to disincentivize doping at a larger scope. A country's sports organization can just take on the next Olympic hopeful (or buy another country's). Alternatively whole countries' participation can be banned, punishing clean athletes.

2. WADA testing is largely inconsistent across the world. You can take a look at the doping reports [here](https://www.iwf.net/anti-doping/statistics/) and compare e.g. Iranian athletes to others.

3. "Steroids" is a big bucket. Weightlifting even now has devolved into a race to design the best undetectable compound.

The IWF is already in trouble with the IOC for so many positive tests - I'm really curious to see how things develop and whether weightlifting ends up splitting into tested/untested federations like powerlifting.
It was already possible in the early 90's.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that we actually know the guys (and girls) who would be making those millions if anybody was. And they’re not.

Eh, sorry, I don't agree with your analysis. Go ahead and ban me if you'd like.
I agree, but unintended consequences abound.

I wonder how this would apply in sports that don't typically have weight classes, like track & field. I imagine you'd start seeing athletes in pretty much every sport cutting weight like in boxing and wrestling, which I don't think is a healthy outcome.

Are we at a level of biological science yet to create reliable divisions/classes on anything more sophisticated? And what about non-professional sports in schools?

>I see no benefits to PWAs

For games, sure, native is much better. But for any other app, which doesn't require a lot of rendering and simulation, PWAs are actually a great option.

You can have one codebase for both platforms. Through the use of Cordova you can actually use native apis very easily. Also, using PWAS gives you access to the thousands of useful packages in the npm ecosystem. How about the tens of thousands of themes you can use to enhance your app? Or things like Vuetify or TailwindUI to quickly craft attractive UIs

If you're not making an app which needs a lot of computational power I would say a PWA is a great option.

You can‘t form the idea that you are “in the wrong body” unless that idea has been provided to you by your culture. You need linguistic and social support to even have the concept.

EDIT: Oh, you may be interested in the phenomenon of what you might call “trans” non-human animals: individuals who behave like those of the opposite sex. Apparently in some species their physical characteristics can even change, such as female lions that grow manes. But nobody is confused enough to say “trans lady lions are lady lions“; that confusion is reserved for humans. In mammals, the sex can not change. But it‘s an interesting phenomenon.

"similar to criticizing blind people for being bad at riding bicycles"

I am not aware of a debate where people get blamed for being blind.

But it makes sense to me to critizice people who want to ride bikes but have not the ability to do so in a safe way, that not endangers other people participating in street traffic.

Now if a blind person learns to ride the bike reasonable well (with technical help) so he or she can actually ride with safety and not endanger others - fine with me and probably most other people.
I don't have a big problem with people who "identify as" someone else. I have a big one with people who insist that *I* must call them in a particular way. It clashes with the idea that freedom of one person stops where freedom of another person starts. What about my right to call another person as I see them? This is invasive. I'm not telling them how to live - they are. This is *gaslighting* and promoting *taboos*.

> But, I still don't think it's fair for women that an individual who lived the prime of their life as a man, benefitting from all the testosterone and muscle mass

Are you.... sure about this? Like how sure are you? What do you think you know?

The human body changes surprisingly fast. Astronauts that stay in outer space for too long can't even walk when they return to earth. That "too long" is like... a year basically.

A "lifetime" of muscle mass will last for how long once someone starts taking androgen blockers then estrogen?

The reality is while we think of 'sex' as being some kind of chromosomal thing, that isn't what really separates the 'genders'. After all, apart from genitals, there is little external difference in babies. So it isn't exactly the XY/XX... of course one might say "but that happens during puberty", which is what exactly? The significant rise of sex-hormones. As the saying goes "if you can't make your own, store bought is fine" (regarding neuro-transmitters, sex hormones, etc).

So, are you SURE that an individual that "lived in the prime of their life as a man" is just as strong as they once were once they have spent years on hormone therapy? If you're sure, why are you sure? "I don't think it's fair" ... but why? Is is fair to trans athletes?

>>women are generally taking on a greater risk when dating than men are.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I don't see where women are taking a greater risk in dating or why you think women, or anyone at all, should by default receive an implicit payout in the form of a free dinner. No one on a date is a victim or supposed to be treated like one. On a date, both participants have enough agency to decide whether or not a date is not worth one's further time. Ergo both participants should by default be expected to pay for their own food.
Most combat sports have weight classes so what you are suggesting is not completely unheard of.
It certainly can be done much cheaper, and bouldering alone is about as cheap as it gets. I live near Squamish and it's known for multi pitch climbing. People who just climb sport spend ~$400/year replacing gear. It's probably not the same everywhere, but lots of long climbs and rappels will wear at your rope. Even faster if you're taking falls on it. I know people who have only ever bought one rope, but they don't climb very much.

Personally I've been climbing outdoors for almost 3 years now and have had to buy a rope every year (2 ropes one year actually). I realize I'm not 'typical' of a climber, but I've probably spent $9000 USD total on equipment in the time frame. Mostly new equipment, but also mostly on sale 20-30% off retail price. But even the 'dirtbags' I know may save money by not paying rent, hitchhiking, living in vans, or camping, and still can spend $400-600 a year on climbing equipment
Having at one point worked in the marketing side of ecommerce Google is an absolute bane to work with if you're not clearing several hundred million per year. The entire system is rigged as far as I am concerned and I have been hoping for almost a decade now that their ad dominance would be questioned. It is borderline RICO-worthy.

As a small fry (< 10MM ad spend) it took acts of god to get ads re-listed, it was very hard to contact our rep, there was rampant ad manipulation and outright attacks (spam clicking, etc). An absolute misery but it was always "if you want to advertise there is no other choice".
I on the other hand am utterly grateful that we have Safari:

1. It is a great browser from the users perspective. Nice UI, very fast, battery efficient.

2. Generally has a good privacy record and does propose and champion web tech around that.

3. Safari is pretty much the only reason we actually have web standards and the web isn't defined by the reference implementation - Chrome.
DDG already includes Google (amongst others) in its results. It's not just a front end to Bing, like many assume (though I can't find DDG's article on the subject to directly cite).

The thing with people who switch to DDG is, they do so consciously for privacy reasons but then forget that the reason G's results are so good is because they add little bits of context in through their profiling. But that doesn't mean that DDG's results can't be as good as G's, it just means you need to add that context yourself. Like if you search for a coding problem, add your computer language name to the search query. Or if you're search for a restaurant, add in your home town too.

I've found DDG's results to be comparable to Google's and in fact in the last ~3 years of exclusively using DDG, I can count on one hand the number of times I've tried searching for something in Google after a failed search in DDG.

Image searching is a little more hit and miss though. G's image search is better -- generally speaking. However DDG doesn't include Pinterest spam. So if you're after something specific using image searching, Google is better. But if you're after a general list of usable images, then DDG is better.
If you think UPS treats its employees like Amazon does, then you need to took to more UPS employees.
That's a strong claim, and so far women's sports aren't being dominated by trans people. Can you provide any evidence?
The degree of automation varies - I'm not in avionics industry so I can't give exact data. However if you read through things like AFDX standard (what's published of it) and ARINC-653 and the like, there's enough to get the gist of it.

For example, AFDX ensures no congestion by statically assigned timeslots, effectively using Ethernet in a sort-of TDMA setup, coupled by special switches that effectively implement virtual circuits based on, again precomputed, mapping loaded into them (at least the standard implies there's no MAC-learning supposed to happen). This allows you to develop and do basic test with any random Ethernet switch before needing a proper AFDX one for more thorough testing, as the application-level protocol is essentially UDP over IP. However you need to consider a whole AFDX network segment when assigning the timeslots and virtual channels, and that's where tools come in :)
> easy to explain

What is the simple way to pitch its advantage to IRV without using technical terms?

The spoiler effect is simple to explain because we’ve seen it. A hypothetical centre squeeze isn’t.

My belief is IRV opens the door to approval voting. (I am still sceptical of it, though I welcome experiments like the one your propose in Seattle.) When approval voting advocates oppose IRV in jurisdictions with plurality voting, however, it just splits the effort and leaves FPTP in place.
That is kind of the exact opposite of the point I was making. Games would be fine as PWAs in theory: nobody expects video games to use few resources or to be power-efficient. Anything else isn't a good fit, because PWAs are ridiculously bloated for fundamental reasons even for basic applications.
My main issue with online dating and especially apps that match you like tinder is that you're sort of always "in the game" a little bit. Every time you swipe you get a sort of mini-rejection if you don't match. And since you can match at any time, you're receiving these mini-rejections implicitly all the time. Obviously basically none of them are actual rejections, but the low-level lack of success builds up over time and just becomes depressing. To add to it, you can't actually see what's happening in the system at all. You might never even have been seen by the people you're interested in.

Contrasting this to events occurring in person, you're only ever in the game when you're at a bar actively looking or at some social event. Even better you might mainly be there to see friends and the potential love interests is just an extra. And when you're done at the place you're done. You're not trying to attract some abstract far off person while sitting on the subway. On the subway you're off and thinking about other stuff.

I think the issue is similar to the problem of not being able disconnect. It just feels mentally unhealthy to me.
The issue is not what the CCP did, but the Wuhan local authorities while the outbreak was still manageable. They did not advise the local population to wear masks or avoid social contact and travel, even though they knew quite well that a SARS-like outbreak was occurring. WHO was actually advised of the situation well before any such clear advice was given to the people in Wuhan. So you had people traveling everywhere with no masks, no distancing etc. only to suddenly be forced into a "hard" lockdown as you mention. But this was too little, too late.
Problem with rationality is how it is defined. And yes, of course it is rational to be angry about it. It is also rational for humans to sometimes project this anger at wrong targets. It is still rational behavior because it fulfills a need, although it is classically defined differently of course.
Minor but important quibble; religion is about what cannot be disproven. It can potentially be proven (if we ever encounter an alien species that, for example, has a document fundamentally identical to the Qur'an, the weight of evidence would swing quite heavily, I think anyone would agree).

In that framework, the people comparing wokism to a religion might point out several unfalsifiable beliefs that it's adherents generally hold. For an example of a fairly common one, "[inequality] is the result of discrimination."
I think main difference of opinion here is that I believe that unionization would reveal that Americans are tired of this foreign actor gaslighting from Israel nationalists

The regime change in that third party separate country shows that the criticism is actually working this round as the image was damaged. Maybe they even get the IDF and companies to stop paying Jewish people to troll and gaslight on social media

Its surprisingly interesting to me to see that the criticism is working for now as that country’s head of state damaged its own image
> Yes! It is not a badge of honor to have a server that's been online for 365+ days

The badges come at 1000 days and every 500 after that. If you have a minimal kernel, and a limited software set, many kernel security bugs found won't apply to your system and you don't need to reboot for them.

Not that you need to be scared of reboots, and you should probably schedule some reboots so you can be confident your systems can reboot, but you also don't need to be scared of uptime or stability, either.
