I have a relative who is a boilermaker, though now he supervises. Listening to his stories, there's never any shortage of idiots. A good team requires some veterans and some good supervisors, all whom need to constantly keep an eye on the idiots, lest they kill or maim themselves or someone else. Also, AFAIU, there are often rules requiring a minimum percentage of local union members on a project. So the number of idiots on a project is both a function of the quality of the local membership, as well as how many reliable veterans the national union and contractor can put on a project, assuming a project will even have non-local union members.

While much less physically exhausting, he doesn't much like his new job supervising, which entails alot of walking around and exclaiming, "WTF!?"

> .. Labor is Center Left and further to the left of the Democrats.

Do you think? I'd have pegged things like Green New Deal, fairly strong consensus around fossil fuels and renewables, as strong US Democrat party line -- compared to AU's Labor being still wedded to a fossil fuel future, still keen to satiate Murdoch and co.

What broad policies / positions are you suggesting indicate AU Labor is more left than US Democrat?
Does this sound familiar? You have an amazing product or service, but hardly anybody outside your immediate network knows about it? This was exactly the problem faced by our client.

Before our client, SteelCon, partnered up with the team at Predictable Growth, they were struggling to grow outside of their immediate, local network and relied on referrals.

Then, in less than 4 weeks of launching their business development campaign, we created a sales pipeline worth well over $10,000,000 by converting 2% of prospects we reached out to into sales appointments on the calendar.

I moved from Australia to the Netherlands as well and felt the same about not having my tax dollars directed where I didn't want them to go.

> If your team quits then you've failed as a manager.

While it's certainly possible the manager is poor, this isn't necessarily true. I'm 43, and have overseen about 10 teams of various sizes in my career - generally 1-3 years each. Sometimes you have good teams, some times you have rockstar teams, and other times you have duds.

It's the luck of the draw, and as a manager, sometimes you can hold a lackluster team together with bubble gum and shoe string, but in the end I've found it's far better for everyone to identify and force out the bad if they don't go of their own volition if at all possible (I've been in contractual/political situations where it was not possible - and that happens, and it is painful).

When a majority of your team quits, if you can honestly say it wasn't you (perhaps based on prior counter examples), then thank them for making your job easier.

I wonder if this can, in the future, provide yet another alternative to building binaries with statically linked musl libc. People criticise doing that, often deservedly so, but having had to build stuff inside containers with deliberately old libc just to get the binary to run on another, older system, I find joy in having a binary that I know to run in "every $HW_ARCH Linux userland". (Of course, even then, calling newer Linux syscalls brings upon some version limitations...)
I don’t see this as anywhere near the same thing though. These so called ‘donkey votes’ are derided, and categorised as together with voting errors and other invalid voting forms. The right to withhold your vote is as fundamental as the right to withold your labour. Voter turnout is an important metric in its own right, and is observed tactically in, say, the UK.
Compulsory voting simplifies competition, and destroys some forms of it. In particular, the ‘mandate’

I think one solution could be to vote in a faceless/anonymous type candidate that simply provides the context/details up for any vote, then votes based on the outcome of a live poll from their constituents.

There would be several tech challenges, but it could provide a more pure form of the people’s will.

One problem is infrastructure- how does one cut, process, and transport enough lumber to meaningfully affect homelessness or fire risk, and not build up an equivalent carbon footprint? I suppose an idea would be to construct the homes where the lumber is, but then you run into a host of other problems: building a housing development miles away in the middle of brushland exposes the people in it to increased higher fire risk, and would still require a significant investment in infrastructure (and thus carbon output) to put in place. Lets not forget that California is still undergoing record draught each year and there's still plenty of other vegetation at risk here- fire risk can only be mitigated so much by this sort of deforestation.

I was going to suggest burying the wood, but my guess is this would just increase methane emission from microbes, which is far worse than the CO2 released by burning.

I think controlled burns are still the best option at the moment.

I live in Marin County, and they wonder why voters won't pass their bond initiatives.

My father's best friend was a lieutenant in Oakland PD. They were so close he gave my father a "Get out of jail free card". It was just a business card which was signed on the back. If you commited a crime, you pulled out the card; you were let go. My father got out of a DUI with it. (I don't think they are handed out anymore?)

His friend was a level headed cop, a bit liberal for a cop even.

My father always wanted to hear about the big cases, or criminals they caught.

He finally told my father the truth. He told him we play chess in the basement for a good part of the day. He wasen't a beat cop. He was up their in rank.

My father was incredulous. He just didn't like the idea of government employees not out fighting crime.

I remember telling my father, I'd rather have a cop by a landline, rather than zooming around irritating citizens with pesky driving citations.

We finally agreed on something.

I will say I was 100% dialed into the job. I could answer just about any question related to what I was working on and I knew the languages/platforms/domain better than anything I've worked with since. That could be a positive if something out of your control doesn't take it away from you and leave you hanging.

However, the law of diminishing returns definitely applied and my energy reserves were depleted within a few months, never having a chance to recharge. I recall towards the end I would catch myself sometimes just staring at the monitor for an hour or more, doing nothing. I also think this was a one-time shot for me—I lost something I can't get back and wouldn't have it in me to do this again.

In some video games you can deplete stamina, but permanent debuffs can drain max stamina. I like to think of it as the first happening, then eventually the latter.

You don't have to vote, the fine is like $40 and they'll usually wave it if you say you were working or unwell.

Compulsory voting still drives people to turn up and vote for the LNP where they otherwise probably wouldn't bother. Why vote when you can do something else more pleasant with your time.

I'm in Tasmania ex Adelaide, and the overwhelming majority of the population here are poorly educated working poor, and yet we have a Liberal Party state government because people turn up on election day and vote Liberal "because fuck those latte drinking hippie faggot cunts / brown people / coons / queue jumping boat-people".

How would you compare NZ with Australia? What are the big differences you noticed? Thanks.
All of the "climate engineering interventions" people keep trotting out that don't actually remove carbon from the air end up making things radically, disastrously worse.

We know how to remove carbon from the atmosphere, in bulk, with super-plentiful olivine. Cutting off emissions and deploying olivine works. Almost anything else ends up doing no net good, at best, and funnels us deeper into the hole.

Soluble iron compounds scattered over the open ocean could help. Any way to get the sulfur hexafluoride and HFCs out of the air would be an important contribution, because even getting CO2 content down to pre-industrial level would not be enough; those other manufactured gasses trap heat thousands or tens of thousands of times better than CO2 does, and are already a big part of the Problem.

> "They aren't magically more efficient than other sites"

It's certainly not magic but good architecture decisions and solid engineering. This includes choosing SQL Server over other databases (especially when they started), using ASP.NET server-side as a monolithic app with a focus on fast rendering, and yes, scaling vertically on their own colo hardware. The overall footprint for the scale they serve is very small.

It's the sum of all these factors together, and it absolutely makes them more efficient than many other sites.

yeah, agreed. that was the point i was trying to make to the parent comment — that this behavior isn’t exclusive to the “right” or “left.” it’s a people problem. or, more exactly, it’s a religion problem (not in the sense of spiritual faiths, but in the tendency for people to seek out and congregate around a shared system of beliefs.. and then stick to those beliefs beyond all reason).
I understand your point now, thanks! I agree somewhat; if all you changed tomorrow in the USA was to make voting compulsory, you would immediately see redoubled efforts in purging rolls etc.
I agree I probably overstated, there would still be ways to stop people voting. Although it cuts out many many avenues, so you would imagine(hope?) the overall disenfranchisement would be significantly less, and decrease over time as the attitude of voting entitlement sets in.

I was taught how to draw, basic gardening and the concepts of agriculture, and construction through various educational programs. It was all public and paid mostly by taxes. This was in a middling suburb of America, and I think if we have a holistic education for our children like I received then coding should be there - it would have served better than the mindless "computer concepts" and typing courses I endured as a child.

That said, a plurality of students in my high school learned some code through their mathematics education. It's already there.

And regardless, code is just a shared language for problem solving. Everyone should learn that, and I think it's better than rote memorization of formula in math class that is paraded as critical thinking.
Yeah but part of why they used a high speed arm, is so they could do realtime AI fo determining where to land and what not.

A cop that lets people drive drunk without consequences is not level headed to me. Nor is one that specifically lets their friends be above the law, especially for offenses that endanger others.

What insights did you gain from this user(s)?
All of your points have a left-wing political bias (as expected on HN). The problem with this is even though the left and the right agree on end goals, they will continue to argue with each other and blame the other, and you are an example of that.

For example, you frame the housing issue as "the left-wing government tried to fix it, but was stopped!". This will result in constant back and forth between left and right and nothing will change. The reality is that no party even addressed the issue until it was forced on them. I remember that day distinctly. Both parties were completely silent. They had no answer - they all benefit from the current situation. They then both went back to their strategic meetings and came up with some garbage responses. The left was about changing taxes, and I think the right was about lowering the home deposit threshold or something like that. It is all just a play because neither political party wants anything to change.

> Maybe I should get on the OpenWRT mailing list and introduce myself.

I agree. OpenWrt's HW NAT support seems to be limited to mt7621 (i.e. At least upstream version).

Unless the SoC is purpose built for network computation I don't think they feature HW NAT, But open-source drivers for the SoC's which has HW acceleration is a bigger problem.

I think aiming for a good SW offloading is a more reasonable goal to start with, Which OpenWrt seems to be doing with MIPS based CPUs.

negative gearing allows the average person investing to have the same tax advantages as a company investing (in anything), because for a company, only profits (revenue minus expenses) are taxed.

If there were no "negative gearing" for investment properties, then either there would be fewer such properties, or people would have to form businesses to perform such investments (which adds an extra bit of friction with accounting and tax).

Making it possible to deduct "expenses" from "revenue" of a person doing the investment makes sense.
