Cool. Yeah, maybe the old way of making cement will be too expensive in the future compared to a greener way. Good luck with your first mover attempt!

Another curious question: Do you make an "actual" limestone, or what is the final output? A rock, chalk, mudlike or something?

You have a rosy view of the oppressive actions of an authoritarian government. It should be noted that the author does not think that is the reason China is doing what it's doing.

Netflix is not draining capitol and not sapping mental health. It was a massive innovation that saved people lots of time (wasted watching TV ads) and money ($10/mo rather than $100/mo for TV). It worked so well every other major media company has copied it's model.

Facebook is often shit on, but it was useful in it's time. It's a tool people can decide to use oe not use, and how to use it if they do. We're learning as a society how to do this.

But it's very clear the solution is not for a government to smash those companies. That is very clearly an evil action.

100 years? It’s already happening today. There are definitely salaried tech workers who are being pushed to work more than 40 hours right now. Some may not know any better, others may feel pressured because they don’t want to look for other work (when they probably should), and so on. These protections would help workers today.
My wife is a high-powered attorney who makes an obscene amount of money in NY. We both ended up working from home during the pandemic, and it was amusing to see her work schedule. She absolutely did a lot of really strenuous work which often would demand lots (and sometimes ungodly!) hours, but there was also plenty of time where... there wasn't any work. Or she was simply worn out, and was taking a break, etc. And not too infrequently a day would go by like that. It just really hit home for me what a waste office culture is, generally, because I'm sure this is no different when she's at the office, but she's just subjected to a commute, halogen lighting, uncomfy atmosphere, etc., for evidently no benefit at all.
I usually flip off those beeping cameras. The store has created an aggressive environment and I'd rather actively recognize that, instead of than trying to pretend otherwise. I understand that theft is a problem, but they shouldn't be taking it out on honest customers.

I bet I'm being downvoted by the kind of people who wait in line to exit a store.
That's true in the sort of desk jobs most of the people who inhabit Hacker News do. It's patently not true of things like manufacturing line work, delivery drivers, chefs, and call centre operators. A chef can't drop 8 hours a week and still expect to serve the same number of meals because of efficiency gains, and a call centre needs to be accessible at the times people are calling.

For the record I fully support any push to reduce the amount of work people are expected to do, but claiming there's no impact because of productivity gains just doesn't add up in many cases.

To clarify, I wasn’t saying that because meateating occurs in nature, it is correct. I was pointing out that if meateating is wrong, then there’s lots of other things we have to deal with.

That is just one of the simplest, pragmatic I think, reasons to dispute “all meateating is bad.”

Note, I think we should eat meat in a humane way so actually think this california law is helpful. I just don’t think that all meat eating is bad.
Is there a name for the question of distinguishing useful economic activity from rent-seeking? It seems tied up in lots of other system/corruption/control related questions - cancer, budget spending, regulation etc.

It feels like there can never be a trustable implementation of a "value or rentseeking?" oracle, since the system implementing it would also be under selection and pressure from the virtual gains to be had from corruption.
The printing press also allowed low-quality garbage to be spread with unprecedented effectiveness.

I'm not convinced that previous systems of more centralized distribution of information (television networks and woodblock printing) were better than the ones that succeeded it.
Don't be so sure about that.

Not all companies are going to decrease wages in response to this legislation. In fact I'd be willing to bet it's less than 50% of companies. Right now we are already in a huge labor shortage because employers aren't paying enough to attract the workers they need. Companies that don't decrease wages in this situation will out-compete companies that do decrease wages if the primary scarce resource right now is workers.

This is similar to what's happening right now with companies that try to do locality adjustments for remote workers -- they get out-competed by companies willing to pay full price regardless of location. Eventually this will cause locality adjustments to vanish completely imo.
My dad's company was hired to do work inside a facility that made sockets. At the end of the line where the sockets were being prepared for packaging, the sockets would get separated and sent down various lines where they were stamped with brand info like Craftsmen, SnapOn, Husky, etc. They were all the exact same socket. It's not like they ones that passed a 16 point QA went to SnapOn, the ones that only passed 12/16 points were stamped Craftsman, and the ones with lesser scores stamped Husky. They were all identical.

If the sockets were this way, I would also expect that to be the same across the things like wrenches as well. The great thing about SnapOn is that truck. They will show up without the need for you to go somewhere. Their warranty wasn't any different than Craftsman's life time warranty, except you had to find a Sears.
Personally I've had no end of problems using an nvidia GPU on Linux.

For example, some driver packages support Steam but not CUDA, while others support CUDA but not Steam [1, 2].

And I found some instructions online that let me "fix" it to work with both - but thereafter, any time I used CUDA I would lose audio when I next resumed from suspend.

Did we not see the same effect last year (probably for the reasons you mentioned)? Numbers declined in summer, but then massively rose again in Oct-Nov.

I think this Autumn will reveal whether the vaccinations are giving us the protection needed to gradually open up society again.

For my part I really hope it does, as it will also encourage other countries to do the same and give the vaccination campaign a worldwide boost.

Actually, you can ask to sample apples. I make pies, and sometimes stores carry unfamiliar varieties, so I do occasionally ask. The kids often don't know that this is okay, so it helps to ask for the Produce manager. They'll grab a knife and cut a slice. Otoh grocery stores rarely carry ugly apples; they go to farm markets, where it's way more normal to ask for a sample
"What we paid for what we received haunts me. I have never seen such poorly thought out, poorly documented, and just barely working code "

I would have tried using agile practices. You would have seen the code that first Friday and raised your hand and stopped more production. Instead, it sounds like you waited for things to be done, later found out it was crap, then wanted a redo (not agile). Agile has sprints, with weekly checkins, you would have found all this out that first sprint and given feedback.
It's an authoritarian oligarchy currently trending towards more autocracy. I think people often have an unfortunate lack of political vocabulary, and therefor loosely use terms like "dictatorship" for any system with a large amount of political repression.

Unfortunately if you're covered by two different group health plans you're going to need that extra day a week just to coordinate the fight over who pays for what. Just have Medicate (or maybe better Medicaid) for all and be done with tying that to an employer.
When it's out of alignment, usually it's because of regulatory capture.
Active cooling in lithium (or any chemistry) batteries exists to allow fast charging and discharging of the battery, as those actions produce heat. Without any cooling system, you're limited by the passive heat dissipation of the battery, which largely depends on the internal resistance. You can lower the internal resistance at the expensive of some other properties (mostly efficiency).

If you don't believe this is a problem in any battery chemistry, I challenge you to find a battery that does not heat up while being charged (they all do, due to thermodynamic inefficiencies). Thermal runaway in Lithium-ion specifically is largely an effect of the lithium decomposing as a result of large heat input (by a short or physical damage). Once this has occured the battery will go through several stages of burning.
Ripe for "The Law of Unintended Consequences". Without changes to what is classified as Part Time Work (usually 30 hours), employers will get rid of full time staff and in some cases be able to avoid paying almost all benefits. UPS comes to mind, they would only hire part time drivers to avoid paying benefits.

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/workhours/parttimeemployme...

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not address part-time employment.

I wouldn't be surprised if employers jump all over this to allow them to save billions by getting rid of full time work.

There’s some truth to that, but call me cynical, when asked to guess whether a nation’s actions are primarily motivated by power seeking or philosophical principles, I usually assume power was the dominant factor.
Yeah, the day I realized that the economic notion of value was weighted according to the wealth of those creating the demand, while the colloquial definition generally isn't, a lot of mismatched puzzle pieces fell into place. It was probably the single most successful update to my worldview (measured in terms of predictive power) that I have ever made.
I think if you take down these sorts of posts you may create a Streisand effect where it actually makes the problem worse.

In general though I don't think social media platforms should be taking down content that does not violate the law or that the law should be expanded to cover "hate speech." In the USA at least free speech has worked pretty well so far.

It's all part of retail business. Whether it's employee theft, customer theft, broken items on shelves, or returns of faulty items, it's all a part of doing business and it factors into the sticker price.

> There are certainly those in America who believe that Facebook and Google produce little of value relative to the profit they rake in; maybe China’s leaders, for reasons that will remain forever opaque to us, have simply reached the same conclusion.

Arguably, capturing most of your country's top talent with absurd salaries and putting them to work on world-critical challenges like... how to generate more revenue from advertisement or... how to create as many "phone-addicts" as possible... could be quantified as producing tons and tons of negative value.

If China's crackdown on "consumer-facing tech" is about this, that could be a very good thing for China long term.

I grew up wanting to work on NASA and putting stuff on space, and during university got offered 10x the NASA salaries at FAANG companies, and was to week to just say "no thanks".

10 years later I am starting to wonder what my legacy is going to be.
Most tools are battery operated these days. The batteries have a computer in them. You could have it refuse to deliver power if the tool isn’t properly activated. Similarly, the vario-resistor in the trigger could be replaced with a computer.
I think that is basically it. I think many of these FAANG companies interviews are more of a hazing than an actual assessment. Everybody who works there had to go through that interview… if you want to be part of the pack, you too must endure it.

When viewed in that light it actually doesn’t seem quite as bad.
I've started playing a lot on Linux because it is the only place I can play some of my games. A lot of old 32-bit games are starting to become unplayable on Windows 10 but are perfectly fine on Proton or Wine. Proton has been the best thing ever for me. I no longer have to keep two versions of Steam on my laptop (Windows and Linux)

On the other hand. There is rarely a moment I play any non-linux native game on Proton that I don't have to fiddle with something. Also a lot just end up not working. It's gotten a lot better recently, but stuff like controllers sometimes end up not working at all and needing a hack to work.
Yeah, I just returned hundreds of dollars of power tools to Lowes because of them locking stuff up. I buy into an ecosystem based on how easy I can get items.

Lowes has most of their power tools in cages. But, they don't hire people to actually man the area. Last time I needed an impact, I had to search to find someone. That person told me they can't open it, but would find someone. Five minutes later I left empty-handed, and returned the rest of the tools and batteries I'd bought recently that week.

Point being: Their 'security' is driving away paying customers.

> While I'm not sold on having a government run healthcare system (the pandemic only reinforces this)

Would you mind elaborating on that? From my own perspective the federal government’s ability to help fund and drive the vaccine development and then to purchase in quantities to get the entire population vaccinated is actually proof of how powerful a single payer system could be. I’m curious as to what I might be missing.

I've seen plenty of code in VBA and VB6 that does so. I think it stems mostly from & being a late addition to BASIC (earlier BASICs only had +).
Next natural step would be to sell the tools for a lower cost than the competitor and start charging for hours of use.
If we just focus on video just a sec and not the ENTIRE INTERNET, PBS seems increasingly irrelevant in an era where YouTube has narrowed the gap between content creators and content consumers. I remember the 90's being filled with pledge drives so PBS can raise funding. The content was good at the time but it's no where near what YouTube has become.

If we go back to this original article linked, who gets to decide what is disinformation/misinformation? Funding should not come from the government because that would introduce all sorts of bureaucracy and gatekeeping efforts by political policymakers.

I (shockingly enough) have no clue wrt Braille.

However, I think Ins sends a normal keydown/keyup and while capslock is a bit more complicated https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39016292/keydown-event-i... suggests it's not that hard to capture it (for front end javascript values of 'not that hard' ;).

Using the 'correct' keybindings for any given screen reader would presumably require a sort of javascript 'skin' to handle that, of course, and that doesn't solve the key clash problem at all but I'm not sure what can really be done about that except maybe remap things that are in the way on the browser side.

My first linux install was Redhat 5.2 bought at a bookstore in ~1997. I have not always been a primary linux user, but I have been using it in some capacity for over 20 years now- though as a means to an end primarily- in the bad old days I mucked around with drivers and X configs and have even recompiled a custom kernel on occasion. Never once has it come up that the filename is not stored in the inode.

I am actually just curious as to why this would ever even be a thing you come across unless dealing with filesystems directly?

They can always steal the equipment that unlocks it all. There have to be thousands of those pieces of equipment at every Home Depot out there. One of them disappears but isn't reported as stolen and now you've got your master key to unlock anything you want.
If this is organized as they say, it'll be broken in a week. Change the checkout process. Customers can bring a little box under the display, and a tool cashier brings out the actual tool. Or, when purchased at the front you get an electronic ID for each tool you then go back and redeem with an employee at the tool isle.
