American unions are far from perfect, but I feel like you’re drastically understating the good they did for American workers during their heyday.

> The best raises I ever got were due to changing jobs, not by pleading with my manager.

Agreed. This really sucks about the company.

> If that's the case, you're _way_ more mature than most people.

I don't think so. If managers provide detailed feedback about what went right and what went wrong the correct expectations will be set.
They're designed for a particular level of washer - HE in this case - you could probably extend to a larger one.

> Unless the journal only accept papers on logic itself

A journal that was focused on "logic itself" would belong in pure mathematics.

> what an editor considers plausible varies by what intellectual, political, scientific or whatever tradition they begin with.

Not necessarily; one need not make independent claims about plausibility of an assumption in order to construct powerful logical arguments around it. This is pretty much the only game in town in philosophy, but scientific arguments must also adhere to the rules of deductive logic. And scientists are not necessarily expert logicians--they do commit logical fallacies. John Ioannidis has basically built his entire reputation on finding logical fallacies in otherwise "hard" research.
What was the salt mine/museum, out of curiosity? Sounds like an old IT job I used to have. :D But for reals, it sounds like an incredible experience.
I simply don't understand how technical users have not all switched to LTSC at this point. LTSC 2019 will receive security updates until 2029. In the future, you may have to use the IoT LTSC version to get the full 10 years of support, but I assume someone will work out how to do this (my understanding is that it is still a full version of windows, with some built in "kiosk" features).

LTSC is amazing, Windows as it should be. You can pretty easily disable any telemetry and disable unneeded features (and many of the annoying ones don't even come installed by default). I am using Linux 99.5% of the time, and I still use LTSC whenever I need to use Windows for something.
Is there a language that compiles to CSS but excludes the decades of cruft that have accumulated in CSS? Something that just exposes a few key primitives and jettisons the rest even if that means it doesn't handle some extreme edge cases?
My problem with this idea is that inside of the crypto space there is just no distinction between good and bad source money.

There are plenty of illicitly acquired funds within the crypto space, that never need to cash out and never need to risk an identity being tied to the holder. The whole decade of crypto-native scams, phishing sites, rug pulls, autonomous fee gathering services that help actual illicit transactions, all of that crypto is still there and fungible and usuable. Most of the money laundering discussion has wrongfully assumed that people care about fiat currency. (This is worth saying again because people weren't ready to hear that 5-8 years ago, it was too abstract of a concept as people had tied their national identity to desire of their national currency, but more people have decoupled those concepts now and understand how crypto can be convenient for general goods and services if desired.) To many people this is just like a high score, they just accumulate the crypto. Hackers were doing more for less for a very long time. Defacing websites for street cred. But make no mistake, its a high score that absolutely can be laundered and converted to fiat at any point, its just it doesn't have to be, and there is no way to distinguish that from the licit transactions. Because what is licit also has no legal consensus. Circumventing one nation's capital controls, doesn't make it an illicit transaction in another nation, for example. A third nation seizing crypto and auctioning it off doesn't magically make the crypto transform from illicit to licit to everyone. Someone just following transactions on a block explorer without knowledge of the news articles from the third nation can just mistakenly believe that the auction winner is still the original hacker, because they didn't even know the seizure and auction occurred and just assumed the hacker was "running" from people watching the blockchain. These misguided detectives will try to alert the first exchange that the funds hit, not even knowing the whole legal issue is over. There is no way to distinguish between licit and illicit funds in a blockchain, many of which either never move or just participate in onchain things because its fun. Those funds have all gained in value too. Playing around with your high score money in fun NFTs is an option, no different than pay to win in video game currency.

And then there is everyone else in the NFT market which outnumber any of the above.

There is just no distinction or intention that you can assume.

We've relied on the state to create these distinctions over the last 60 years - primarily at the border and on the electronic financial system - stigmatizing money and saying some kinds of transactions are approved while others are not, the state has lost that power and thats just a reversion to the mean where the people-run electronic financial system more closely matches the cash financial system that predates the licensed bank-run electronic financial system.
No. All S1s do it this way for some reason.

My wife just worked on an S1 and had a similar comment but she investigated other S1s and saw that was just how it was done.
I ditched Apple. After 20+ years. There is no way my computer not to be under my control. I compromise by using Windows for the design apps under VM.

Pop!_OS is like a dream. Quick install. Update. Restart. Go. Manjaro and ARCH are perfect for development work.

Last time I felt this satisfaction from using a desktop was long time ago with Snow Leopard.

Yes, I believe playing games with people in the same physical space is fundamentally different than sitting in a room by yourself playing with people online. I look back fondly upon the times in my childhood where we rigged up LAN parties, played console games on a couch or sitting on the carpet, or Pokemon on our Gameboys together roaming around the outdoors.

I don't look back very fondly upon the days when I grinded playing online PC games in a room alone, even though I had a headset and a chat box - that feels more like wasted time.

It's purely personal of course, and I know people who feel differently, but if gaming takes a step back toward anchoring itself in the physical realm, I'm all for it. The arcade heydays of the 80s sound awesome.
I’d expect that the ergo costs of using a laptop at all (short key travel, screen down from eye level) would swamp the additional cost of having the keyboard off center. After all, you can just crane your neck down and sideways instead of just down :).

Seriously, anyone using a laptop full time for work (who cares about ergo) should invest in an external keyboard and monitor.

They are a monopoly for getting your app on ios phones and in front of ios users.

This is why bundling is part of anti-trust law.

Bundling their app store as the only way to install applications on ios devices should have been stopped years ago.
Thank you, I missed that part.

It’s not really clear to me why all the blame for the adversarial nature of American unions is placed on the unions themselves. Shouldn’t some of the blame be also blamed on American businesses too? It does after all take two to tango.
When it comes to determining guilt, yes, justice should be blind. When it comes to sentencing, judges take all kinds of things into account. If I were a defendant, I'd want to keep that firmly in mind.

Not everyone at Apple is a high compensated IC. A lot of them are retail workers.
They could start by posting surveys in women's bathrooms. If Apple is like other tech company's, the C suite folks will all be cis men and never go in the women's bathrooms.

Once the women gather data they'd have to figure out how to do part 2, gathering men's data, in some equally sneaky fashion.

I'm the author of HTTP Toolkit! Just ran into this by chance, glad you like it :-D

I should mention here: not only is the core product all free, it's also completely open source, even including the paid bits (https://github.com/httptoolkit). And those Pro features are completely free for all contributors to the project.

I've tried to set it up so I couldn't run off with it and force everybody to start paying even if I wanted to, but any suggestions for further improvements there very welcome.
According to what I've read, hunting hogs from helicopters has made the problem worse. It's had the effect of scattering them across a wider area.

Unless you can guarantee you'll kill all the hogs that scatter due to the helicopter--not just the ones you see!--then it's likely counterproductive.

> That’s the equivalent of telling people not to “dress slutty” if they don’t want to be raped.

So crime against your car and your person are two completely different things so I don't think it's equivalent at all. Also I am not "less free" because I don't have a car, everything I would do in my life with one I do with more expensive services. If I needed a car I would get one and deal with car crime in other way, maybe moving to another city, maybe organizing a militia to defend cars. By not dressing however you want because of fear you are giving away something.
I don't really follow the debate, but team "pro" (e.g. you) says it works, and apparently team "anti" can cite studies that it has no effect. Could it be that the person you saw got cured would've recovered without the medication anyway? Team "anti" seems to have more data to say that it doesn't work.

To make a poor analogy, maybe this is like saying "buy lottery tickets to be wealthy, I saw it work for this one person!", although that person never won the lottery but was a shrewd businessman.
Why is it appropriate for a union to determine who has the right to accomplish specific tasks (you can't restart the server, but you can unplug it or you can plug in a lamp but you can't change a light bulb)? That's not a management failure. Sounds like they had people who were trained and had the technical ability. It was bureaucracy that caused the problem.
Also make sure it has robust location compensation - the cheaper ones skimp on that, so you might end up quite high up or even get telefragged into the ground!
I would say it depends. If it takes 80 hours to get approval and it turns out that the warrant was, well, warranted, then I don't consider it to be a big problem.

If it takes 80 hours and it turns out to be abuse, then heads would probably roll.

However, in most cases these things are legitimate. I've worked in government and most people have good intentions. We don't have to protect ourselves, as a society, against the legitimate cases, we have to protect ourselves against the abuse.
> the good they did for American workers during their heyday.

It's not their heyday anymore, though. We need new structures and leadership for labor rights to prevent the (admittantly rare) abuses like this.
GM throws LG under the bus as Chevy Bolt production pauses amid recall
Hello HN!

I've been applying for jobs recently. One of the biggest frustrations I've found is managing all the documents for my applications. I have experience in different fields, but when I'm applying for a job with specific requirements that extra experience just ends up being noise. I tried copy-pasting relevant content from a main docx file into a specialized application, but doing this for every job became very cumbersome very quickly to the point where the friction became too high and I just stopped applying.

Dynamic Resume Generator is sort of my attempt to make that process easier on myself. All I have to do is load up a JSON file with all of my credentials, selectively enable/disable them for a specific job that I'm applying to, and run the main script to generate a custom resume for that job application.

This probably isn't too special of a thing, but when I realized that I could write a quick script to alleviate my problems I was ecstatic. Given that the monthly "Ask HN: Who is Hiring/Wants to be Hired?" threads are tomorrow, I figured I'd share this with you all in the event that someone finds it useful :)
This is why you do this sort of thing at the pub on your turf, not on your employers turf.
I have been going into the office when I could work remote.

I don't feel like it is a motivation thing. I was just sick of being home all the time.

I think many people on my team are not doing well mental health wise from being at home so much.

The most miserable people I know are a few software engineers that have been working remote for years making great money. One guy I know works at night because he can. Sleeps to 2pm. Basically, never leaves the house for anything. Seems unable to connect though that being a total shut in is why he is not happy even though he is killing it objectively. Practically hiding from the world in a nice house.

What has been good for my mental health is getting up and actually having to get dressed in the morning. Actually have to get out of the house at a specific time. Seeing people at the office in person. Saying good morning to the security people.
Using a fitbit my friend noticed that by 10am they had already done the equivalent of a 20 min walk step wise just going to the office. At home, basically nothing. If you work at home you practically have to do a 90 min walk a day to get enough steps in. Good luck as your conditioning gets worse and worse trying to be happy.
It really does read like a scare mongering fear article. Including mention of problems but no concrete followup with current details, or at the very least a mention of no resolution to the issue as of a specific time of fact-finding.

Maybe it's not a cycle, but genetic instead. It would appear like a cycle because the children will end up doing what the parents did, but they might simply be predisposed to it.

Singing and speech are different processes in the brain. It has been observed that some people with a stutter can still sing without any hint of a stutter. So I wonder if your trick is a result of some sort of personality difference in left brain versus right brain.

> The reason, I claim, is that the significant thing we humans value when we value art is the expression of an original act of creation, comprised by individual acts of conception, production, and realization accomplished by some ingenious mind.

I completely agree with this, and I think the experiment with NFTs is that perhaps a significant portion of humans will come to consider an NFT issued by an artist as an expression of the the original act of creation of a work, particularly for works that are not inherently instantiated in a unique physical object the way a painting is. It really is that simple: just like monetary valuations of famous paintings, there's no "inherent" correct answer to whether a particular NFT "counts" as a unique representation of the original act of creation of a work. It's just up to people. Remember, even copies of physical works (like lithographs) can command high valuations based on their perceived originality, despite everyone agreeing that they are copies.

> A lot of times when people say they've had no issues whatsoever what's really happened is that they've become so used to all the issues that crop up and have so much practice dealing with them that they aren't even conscious of them anymore.

Or they forget how much time they spent tweaking their system to get it just right. My Linux systems are now good as gold. I can say I have no issues whatsoever. They work reliably for me day after day. But hell if I didn't spend hours/days setting up all sorts of crazy things you'd expect to just work out of the box like Sleep/Suspend, WiFi, and High-DPI displays.
Older processors were not necessarily more energy efficient than newer ones. I'm willing to bet you'd get better battery life out of something like a modern ARM Cortex-A than any 68k, FPGA-implemented or otherwise, and have it be significantly more powerful besides. But IANA processor nerd.
Sure. It works even better with a little extra height.

The quickest way to beat it is to not allow closed shops. Give employees the freedom to join a union of their choosing, independent of their current employer, and you'll fix a lot of (doubtfully all) of America's problems with unions.

That depends on the OS though, right? I don't know about Linux or Mac, but I'm pretty sure that if you scale on Windows, you're still running at the native resolution, but the UI elements get scaled. Nothing should look weird. At least that has been my experience on Windows... outside of apps that don't follow Microsoft's scaling guidelines.

Tesla is already shipping their own chips in every car. And that’s a better comparison (it’s an end user thing you can buy) than this data center processor. It’s hard to compare vs, say, Nvidia’s car computers because it’s all locked down. But I believe the energy efficiency is fairly good.
Its disappointing that these platforms abdicate responsibility for basic customer service functions like this onto the hosts/their customers to argue it out.

Wirecutter is hit or miss; consumer reports is a more reliable, less biased source.

I laughed at the Wirecutter when they did a review of white sneakers about a month ago. They immediately dismissed Vans shoes, calling them "uncomfortable," and went on to select Converse as the top pick. Vans may not be the best sneakers out there, but they consistently get 4.9/5 stars in customer reviews from places like Zappos and Nordstrom, and they're reasonably priced. Maybe Converse are better shoes, but in my mind, Vans and Converse are pretty similar. The tone of their "research" was honestly kind of bizarre.
