Won't somebody think about the poor bridges that never got built!?

For real, If there is any single problem with the world its people doing too much. The oceans didn't fill with plastic from people sleeping in. The air didn't fill with CO2 because people clocked out early on Fridays.

Take a step back and look at life. Why should it even be work? Do birds sow seeds? Are monkeys bad programmers? Or, are they just monkeys?

It's a shame Apple hasn't really made any more strides in the world of chargers recently. I was particularly disappointed by the Magsafe Battery Pack[0] which rather disappointingly couldn't top off my phone from 10%. For $99, I'd hope for a few more mAh to be squeezed in there...

What a beautiful example of false equivalence. Union literature has special protection because it's a certain type of literature. You cannot just "replace" with what you want. Certain things are protected by law. That's how laws work.

It's a shame so few companies still make high quality 5V/1A chargers anymore. Apple seems to be the only one left that does so, and with consistent and predictable manufacturing.

5V/1A is great for overnight charging. I've noticed my phone battery lasts so much longer the next day.
I think it's clear that the union wants a do-over and is looking for any technicality that might give them another chance.

Does anyone really believe that the Amazon employees voted against the union because Amazon removed some union material from the break room one day? Of course not. The employees knew what they were voting for and were fully capable of researching it themselves.

The real question is what does the union plan on doing differently to sway the employees to vote differently next time? Repeatedly trying to overrule the employees about their own voted decisions isn't likely to be popular among those who voted against the union, which is most of them. They'll need a better narrative on top of this if they want to get anywhere.

Or alternatively, maybe they don't care so much about this election as they do about making Amazon look bad. Maybe they know these workers don't want to unionize, but they're going to use this opportunity to try to convince the public that the workers were misled by Amazon. If they can't win the workers at this location, maybe they can try to win the public on a wave of anti-Amazon publicity for a do-over in another location.
Increasingly, strong unions are equally as fictional as Harry Potter in America.

I'm not bothered that much by companies ignoring rules and laws, i'm just deeply saddened that they don't get severely punished when they get caught (and that they don't get caught more). I mean.. why obey the law, if it's not enforced?

And even when they do get punished, they sometimes get fined less, than what they earner/saved by not following the laws.

I would turn around from amazon and start pointing fingers at people responsible, (and paid by taxpayers money) for not stopping and punishing/preventing amazon from doing more of such stuff. Fines should be a multiple of maximum theoretical earnings/savings possible + individuals responsible should be put infront of the judge too.
It's no longer arbitrary if the PyPI crew is the one who controls the code, or did I understand you wrong?
No, I would also say that it definitely used to be far more focused on starting a tech startup, with tech as a sideline, now it's the opposite.

I feel the shift started happening around the time product hunt got popular, so a couple of years before you joined.
>But, he does it by showing what the scientific research has to say

He's a textbook of example of what every diet ideologue does.

It's called cherry picking "research" that reaffirms his views - in a field which is barely scientific to begin with.

He didn't arrive at a plant-based diet from "first principles", such as trying to derive it from estimated average requirements for all the various vitamins and minerals, (accounting for bioavailability from various sources).

Because if you do that, you'd have fish, eggs and animal organs as top contenders in bioavailabilty and nutritional density
(meaning you can hit most of your RDAs without eating metric ton of food)

He is a not a scientist, he vegan ideologue first and foremost, he even sounds like a Christian preacher in his videos.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I'm not interested in dietary advice from anyone who's already made up his mind and is ideologically opposed to animal products.
I've seen many house fires over the last few years that were from chargers. I'd hope risk of bursting into flames is one of the most important things when choosing - it freaks me out. I'd hope the big brands have 0% chance of this - is that correct?
"Culture is what the losers of history cling to because their way turned out to be a worse way."

Or maybe its a sign that winners couldn't completely eradicate it because it occupies a niche in a more optimal way than the winner. Infact, we have seen winning cultures fail while the niched "loser" culture maintains, only to thrive after the downfall of the temporary winner.
The article doesn't imply it's a mystery, only that simple one-liner explanations are insufficient. The headline is reasonably clickbait-y.

The momentum theory of lift is simple, intuitive, but unfortunately incomplete (just as the differential pressure explanation). It's covered in the article.

> But taken by itself, the principle of action and reaction also fails to explain the lower pressure atop the wing, which exists in that region irrespective of whether the airfoil is cambered. It is only when an airplane lands and comes to a halt that the region of lower pressure atop the wing disappears, returns to ambient pressure, and becomes the same at both top and bottom. But as long as a plane is flying, that region of lower pressure is an inescapable element of aerodynamic lift, and it must be explained.

Also I want to address this:

> At fractional mach numbers, pressure above and below the wings is essentially equal.

Surely you mean density? Air pressure is certainly not the same above and below, as differential pressure integrated over the surface is equal to the lift force generated by the wing. So no, while the Newton's explanation is a great explanation for a second grade classroom, it is not complete.

Maybe we have to rethink our economic system so that producing more humans just to create new customers is a perverse incentive.

Less humans means less demand means less work. In our current paradigm, this is a problem. In a healthy paradigm, it is a solution.

Less people? Rebalance human development with nature.
Less consumption of resources? Wonderful.
Less jobs? Great, let's all work less and live more.

Many would call this utopia, I call it sanity. I'd also say that couple not reproducing or doing so at increasingly old age, is the ultimate sign of how our economic system doesn't even support one of the most natural things there are: to form a family. It is openly hostile to this option.

And we want do double down on that? The trend of economic security is going to be even less, not more.

This hits home for me so hard. I just left a job after 5 years of playing the loyal soldier. It's been almost 2 years since I got a promotion without a raise. My manager has been constantly working with the HR to get me as much aligned with what I should get but his hands are tied by the corporate bs that he needs to work with. I got an offer from another similar revenue/size company and I was in two minds. The company literally asked me what I wanted and then just gave it to me (nearly twice what I'm earning today). It's a shame that my current company not only didn't keep up with the market, but also dragged its feet for 2 years to keep up with its own internal compensation structure.

What you're describing is reducing what the consumer receives from food for the purposes of maximizing profits. Whether that'a s function of altering the nutritional density, using lower quality ingredients, or simply reducing the overall volume what you are describing is in fact shrinkflation.
There is absolutely evidence supporting the idea that YouTube and social media sites are contributing to the radicalization of people. This is not saying there is not evidence, it is reporting one one specific study that used a very specific method. It is worth reporting on specific studies/methods as well as doing over arching journalism on a topic. One piece does not discount another.
Thank you! We are currently developing the PayPal integration and most importantly Crypto payments possibility that would entirely change the game.
I think both of those ideas are wrong. A company is usually entitled to hire the most productive employees it can find for the remuneration it’s willing to offer, and an employee is usually entitled to somewhere between 50-90% of the money it can convince an employer to pay them.

Employees are never paid for the marginal value they provide, because for among other reasons, there’s no such thing. You could come up with an infinite number of different ways to calculate that, which could all produce a different value. An employee is either paid something close to the equilibrium price for the labour they’re offering, or something close to the average equilibrium price of all employed union members, if they’re a union member.
The Queen's Gambit a Proactive Approach to Reducing IT Vendors' Contracting Risk
I find it a reach that you're complaining about grouping when used in this context:

> For example, I once worked for a company that poured a lot of effort into inclusive hiring: they made an inclusion skills rubric, placed ads in “diverse” tech spaces, et cetera. Two years later, all the “diverse people” they had carefully collected had left, and the company had backfilled with almost exclusively cishet white guys.

This is a paragraph directly talking about an initiative to increase diversity that ultimately had little lasting impact, but is making no judgments about either the group of "diverse people" that didn't stick around nor the group of hires that followed.

There's no thinking about either group there as individuals, nor positive or negative overall descriptions of them, just an anecdote about an HR initiative at a particular company that didn't really meet its objectives.

What's there to be offended by, asks this person who hadn't even encountered the term "cishet" before this article but falls in the group?
> Let’s assume what BM is doing is effectively legal in the country where they operate.
I agree that you would want them to be different types; otherwise you would just use an unscoped enum. But that implies that if you write…

/* example.h */
void f(enum struct { x, y } arg);

/* example.c */
void f(enum struct { x, y } arg) {
/* do something with arg */
}

…then you've just created a function with two different overloadings based on distinct anonymous types which just happen to be spelled the same way. Without a type name I don't see any way you could define a function whose prototype would be compatible with the forward declaration. You also have conflicting definitions of "x" and "y" with the same names and scope but different types. Perhaps with GNU extensions you could use typeof(x) for the argument and avoid the conflict, but that isn't standard C++.
The average person doesn't use 24 hour/military time. Maybe in the tech world.
dragging the shutter slow enough to get motion blur would also make up for any difference in light loss. would require some sort of stabilization though. if you don't have a tri/monopod, you can set it on the ground and use some rocks or sticks (you're near a lake) to prop up the lens. also, i'd suggest using a 1 second shutter release delay to not have any bounce from you pressing the buttons on such a slow shutter.

also, digital cameras could just compensate slower f-stop with higher ISO if necessary
How to identify, measure, and improve Product/Market Fit
I wish they would just present the numbers and not editorialize. They write, "11.5% of respondents identify as something other than straight / heterosexual, with 6.5% preferring not to identify with any orientation. There’s still so much work to be done to ensure the developer community is more inclusive."

Wikipedia says that in the U.S., "A 2017 Gallup poll concluded that 4.5% of adult Americans identified as LGBT with 5.1% of women identifying as LGBT, compared with 3.9% of men."

According to Stack Overflow's numbers, non-straight people are overrepresented in their survey. At least in their data, there is no evidence that the "developer community [needs to be] more inclusive".

"The market(capitalism) is going to do what the market(capitalism) does. "

If you're looking for every last bit of juice out of a battery, inductive charging might not be the best way to get it. I'm sure Apple wants to strike a balance of convenience and enough power for most people without making it any bulkier than necessary.

Product-wise there was a rumor that Apple will be switching to more compact GaN chargers this year, so I wonder if that will come with the Macbook Pro redesign?

> By and large, the nations with more childcare support, more protections for pregnant women, etc have lower birthrates than those that don't.

That's because they also have more public poverty and old-age support; which reduce the incentive for large families as old age and disability “insurance”.

Which on its own is a good thing, but if you want to encourage births anyway, your public support for parenting has to offset the effect that has on incentives to have children, which is a very bif effect. Nations don't do that because they don't think its an important-enough public need to warrant that approach.
