"Yeah so what? "

What this means is that using Unions, arbitrary employees can possibly take over companies and consume all of the surpluses, which is not good.

"Now, you know what's stupid? Letting the government become the union of last resort via the minimum wage. "

It seems odd because a 'min. wage' is a broad, crude measure, and a 'negotiation' feels more market oriented.

The problem is, those negotiations are not market oriented.

Union-Company negotiations are based on a very arbitrary power that we give to Unions to basically hold the operations of the company hostage unless certain demands are met.

It's not efficient at all.

Given that, I think it's just better if government sets a floor for work.

They could improve it by 1) using economic measures instead of making it political, and 2) possibly have different min wages for different sectors.

In reality - we don't need Unions. Where they are 'most needed' today is where pay is really how, and or there are some unfair practices, arguably at Wallmart and Amazon.

If we increased minimum wage to something reasonable, and got a bit more nuanced with regulation and enforcement ... then that would solve most of the problem.

Worker safety + regulations take care of most of the reasons unions needed to exist and min wage takes care of most of the rest.

Non-unionized auto workers make well above min-wage salary because market-driven salaries work well enough in those areas.

it's good to see this is finally being addressed. lack of multi-device support is the one thing that has kept me from using scuttlebutt other than poking around to check things out and it's been several years now that people have been asking for this.
So we are not at war, but why is Iran advising insurgents and other groups on getting to US targets and inflicting losses on us? Their intelligence services, advisors and equipment are used to target our troops and allies in the region. Tit for tat.
This is the thing that makes me sad about capitalism as a whole. The only incentive is to make more and more money, and if you have to do unethical things to do that, you do them, and you're rewarded for it.

It's just not that common for executives at a company to forego revenue in service of the common good. Especially at companies like FB, where exploiting the commons is what makes them money in the first place.

> They were using a protobuf diffing library that used `reflect` under the hood, which allocates. They generated their own explicit object inspection thingies.

IIRC it is `reflect.Type.FieldXXX` which is the main culprit of allocations. Since the number of types in a typical application are bounded and small, you can get pretty far by just precomputing/caching struct fields.
I will never understand why so many US people want their health system as it is. Maybe it is because of neoliberalism or communism fear propaganda of big money interests idk. I can simply not understand otherwise.

I have long reached the maximum of having to pay near 800€ for public health care in Germany month by month with my salary - it covers me, my wife and two children. I'm well aware that most of the time the money is used for people who pay far less or nothing like retired, students, people with less income or refugees (solidarity it is called). Most of the time until I'm in need treatment myself...

I love to live in a country where nobody goes bancrupt because of a health bill. Where nobody has to live in fear of death if he cannot afford treatment. Where nobody has to choose between money and a dead child or mother.

Don't you see how many social and crime problems come from a missing health system? If I would live in constant fear of death or bancruptcy I might as well easier decide to rob a bank, do cyber crime or kill someone in anger with my gun (only source of fake power in my life) or do some insider trade or whatever. A death threat hanging over you and your family, if you lack financial success, is making you do wrong things (crime) and feel bad things (fear, anger, desperation) leading to undesired behaviour (even more crime, unhealthy life with stress and obesity and much more).

An affordable and solidarity public health system is the foundation for a healthy society and mentally healthier citizens. It has exacly zero to do with communism or socialism, it's an investment in having a better country for everyone.

Those... simply aren't objective criteria. One persons off-flavor is another persons desired flavor (cilantro/coriander for an obvious example). What is the quantitative measure of "complexity" or "balance" in a dish?

The USB-C passthroughs are nominally $9 each, so it's not $80 to fill out the bays.

More importantly, they're also built into the price estimate already, so when it says "$999" or whatever, that's including four $9 cards. It doesn't cost you any more to switch some of them for USB-A's instead, and other choices like HDMI, Micro SD, whatever, will be an upcharge.

A more savvy (sneaky?) approach might be to say that 4 cards are included and then only quote the increase over the base price for the things like HDMI that cost more, but I suppose they wanted it to be seamless in terms of how the pricing appears if you want to order more than 4.

Obviously there's a real sense in which engineering went into having this system and the things take up space, so there's a cost to having them, but I don't think calling them an upcharge is really legitimate; they're built in to the quoted prices.

Sure…off the dude cleaning the toilets at Blue Cross Blue Shield. I mean how dare he take that job and make money in the health insurance industry! He is actively harming the world by his cleaning piss and shit. Fuck him—he is no goddamn better than a terrorist for taking a job in that industry.

Seems to me that anyone wishing or attempting to justifying death on 700k folks just because they don’t agree with the industry where those people work, is a helluva lot more evil than practically everyone working in the healthcare insurance industry.

Maybe I am just weird that way…

Presumably 'individual stock' is an inaccurate description, and the point is exactly not to apply to ('normal'/basket) ETFs. (But it's not trivial to define, since presumably you would want to ban 'Acme 3x Levered TSLA ETF' or short fund or whatever.)

I can think of several reasons why that would be the case.

The easiest one is just that Twitter might have more competent developers and product managers working on that problem than FB does.

The more sinister option is that FB knows that the kinds of things that end up being misinformation often drive engagement, so maybe they don't try as hard.

(Agreed, though, that it's not clear that Twitter handles this better than FB.)
>But, the UK government added a site so you can prove you're you, and get codes, which for a limited period show someone that yup, this person is legal to drive and so on.

>wikipedia's sections on signal processing and data compression have jumped to near textbook quality in the past few years.

I pretty much used Wikipedia as my main resource when I was learing dsp at college.

I get like 80% of my EE information from Wikipedia nowaydays, for a ton of different areas. A couple days ago I was reading Meindl's paper on boron implantation in MOSFETs and I don't recall exactly what it was, but it was such an obscure topic in the paper my colleages had quite the trouble and ultimately did not find more resources on it.

There was literally a whole Wikipedia section dedicated to the concept and it saved my goddamn ass in the presentation I had the next day.

I absolutely love Wikipedia and I owe a lot of my education to the contributors.
This isn't a blanket statement about languages in general. We have information that Joe failed to deliver his project in language X. Given that information, there is no reason to believe that rewriting the tool in language Y is going to be successful, because the problem may not be the language. This has nothing to do with someone else being able to write a better tool in that language - it only proves that a better tool is obtainable in general. In my experience, in such cases, Joe typically fails to deliver his new project as well.
The CanvasKit renderer, which at the time of this GitHub comment [0] was experimental but is now the default one (the other being a HTML renderer rather than a canvas renderer, but that had some problems and was not as fast as the canvas implementation, so it was overridden by canvas), uses WASM and WebGL.

I'll bet you $5 that members of congress become exempt from disclosing financial positions, or are given a much longer time to disclose.
I think a lot of people confuse "need to" with "like to" and assume the way they live is the only possible way. People are surprisingly adaptable to many life conditions and its quite easy to get away with not using a car. With the money you save not driving, you can pay for delivery of all that stuff you would have moved yourself and still come out on top.
Let's be honest here, windows is going to be slow as a moonwalking Michael Jackson with that processor. Windows is, I kid you not, an order of magnitude slower than linux/macos.

I'm trying desperately to remember specifics. I love to travel, and food is my #1 or #2 focus when I travel. So I try a lot :).

Places and be hit or miss, or at least vary in experience over time or depending upon various factors. But here are some of the ones I can think of, in no particular order.

desmaakvanafrika.nl in Rotterdam, NL

kuarestaurant.nl in The Hague, NL

www.die-kueche-bamberg.de in Bamberg, DE

Aum Vegitarian in Chiang Mai, Thailand - https://g.page/AumVegetarianRestaurant?share

Lots of street vendors in Chiang Mai. Try a bit of everything, as it's very cheap and often very nice.

Elevation Pizza in Fraser, CO, US - www.elevationpizzaco.com

It doesn't matter that I list places though. If you read reviews or talk to locals, and you try a lot of places, you will find so many good restaurants... usually... unless you're in Netherlands where most people don't care about food, in which case you have to work harder to find the good ones ;)

Do what now?
As long as you can catch up to a point where you read all busy pages and none were written in the meantime, yes.

Generally, the way VM migrations deal with this is by suspending the VM once a small enough set of dirty pages remain. I think the same can be done with block devices on Linux; if I remember correctly, there's some file in sysfs that you can poke to quiesce a block device. Just make sure your app is fully in RAM/cache, ideally locked, if you do this to your root filesystem :)

Wow, amazed by how short that Arch/Framework wiki page is! I went there expecting a long scrollable entry, but there's actually very few issues.
And that's why you want to own a brokerage that members of Congress use for trading. Could probably recruit them with paid speaking gigs or jobs after they are no longer in office, or something like that. Maybe campaign contributions even. Maybe politicians shouldn't be able to own or trade stocks? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to work in the private sector for a period of time after their service? They get a pension right?
There is a huge misconception that professional tasters are rating by their personal preferences. I can't really talk about restaurants, but about wine and spirits.

As a taster, you don't look for things you personally enjoy. You look for "quality". That is, balance, complexity, off-flavors, typicity etc. Just because I like my wine oxidized and my meat burned, I can't say the meal was terrible. (But maybe the service, if you have asked for your steak burned, but got it medium rare.)
That is correct. In fact I submitted an article just the other day called "We rewrote everything in Rust, and our startup still failed [0]." However, again, all else being equal, a faster language is, well, faster than a slower one.

Sounds a bit painful! Useful to hear your experiences. Things will hopefully continue to improve over time.

I do already have a NUC running Docker and had thought about using that if needed when I move to an M1 so it’s interesting you’ve had the same idea.

I don't like this tactic. It might well be more effective, but it just doesn't seem right.

Al Gore has arguably done more than anyone else (at the upper levels) but his ownership of multiple houses (with heated pools) goes against the message he preached.

Bernie Sanders owns multiple houses, too.

John Kerry famously flies a private jet all over the place and parties on yachts (which he parks in places to minimize taxes).

I actually dislike people who don't take the personal action, yet work to make others sacrifice for the cause.

On the other hand, I have respect for people like Ralph Nader and Jimmy Carter, who actually lead humble lives and lead by example.
> There is nothing I'm aware of that I need to do financially which I can do with Bitcoin (or the like) which I'm not better able to do with the regular banking system.

I would suggest that your life experience may not be the best yardstick for every other human.

I will provide an example of a recent situation in which I would have loved to be able to use e.g. Bitcoin. I (US based] did some consulting work for a company in France and they owed me something like $6k. Arranging an incoming international bank wire was a huge pain (if you don’t do this regularly, you’ll have to navigate multiple layers at your bank to find someone who can provide the actual wire details to provide to the counterparty), it took many days to finalize, AND I was charged $25 by my bank for the privilege.

In contrast, I should have been able to provide the French company a BTC address, have had them transmit for pennies or a few dollars at most, and have payment secured and confirmed within the hour.
Sounds like they need a park? Are there markets at least?

Drug approvals, legal settlements, and getting acquired usually send a stock higher. Buying a company usually sends it lowers.

With earnings, even if you know it in advance, you're trading against what the street thinks, not even what analysts estimate, and the wrong few off-the-cuff words in the earnings call can derail your trade completely.
Well... I don't think the value is undefined. For example, if I could find out that this test assayed the same responses as used by Pfizer to determine long-term T-cell immunity from the vaccines, then I would know I had probably lost any immunity. If on the other hand most T-cell tests out there don't pick up vaccine-induced protection, then there's some chance the vax is still effective for me.

Masking and being conservative is a foregone conclusion, the issues are whether or not to (a) cancel the trip, and (b) try to get a third shot.

[edit] Also, this goes to whether I'm immune-compromised, if in fact my system didn't properly respond to the shot. In that case, I can't count on the low rate of hospitalization among vaccine recipients and I need to be more than just careful.
Few are happy with the current status, but people differ on the solution.
So from a city dweller perspective - it sounds like you actually have it on "hard mode" in comparison. That is, needing to actively take your kids to\from places and activities.

Basically everything that I needed as a kid was in walking distance. So from about the age of 7-8 I rarely needed to rely on my parents for anything, school/sports/friends/etc was all a less than a 30 minute walk away, and in turn, my parents never needed to plan around my schedule.

The caveat is that I didn't grow up in the US, where cities are usually sadly quite pedestrian hostile.

Please get checked for glaucoma if you haven't already. Goes for anyone reading this comment who feels their vision is slowly getting worse. I started getting it in my 30s, it can strike early.
Only specific hobbies mostly limited to things with large motors. They can be even more accessible for other hobbies. For a very small fee, I can get a pass to use the local makerspace down the street and get access to machinery I would never be able to buy myself. For all of my hobbies they are either the same or easier to do in the city.
Interesting. I quit smoking in a similar fashion. Actually, I still consider my self a smoker. I can have a cigarette whenever I want to. But I chose not to.

It helped me finally stop trying to quit. And just chose not to smoke.
Extremely low? Not as high as SF, sure, but easily top 5% for the country after a few years experience. Salary aside, many people find life a lot more enjoyable here. I know plenty of people who've worked for a period in the US and come back, as well as myself having done a stint for a US company for a while.

US corporate working culture is rather different to here. Here, if you don't take 4+ weeks holiday, your manager will have a word with you for working too much. Complaining about being back at work after a holiday is expected. At the end of the day, you log off and go home, and you don't think about work again until the next morning except in exceptional cases. Everyone knows and accepts that work is work, not the point of your life. 3PM Friday drinks is still a part of the culture in many companies, as is knocking off early on a nice day and going to the pub.

Obviously it's not like this in every job (particularly low salary or menial), but every job I and most of my acquaintances have had has been vaguely like this.

Then of course there's safety, environment, toxic politics, healthcare, etc. plus generally just liking what you're familiar with. I love the USA, but there are things that are hard to get used to, like car-only suburbs, jaywalking laws, beaches that close at night or are privately owned, rules against outdoor drinking...

I also find UK tech has less of an ageism problem than the USA. People sometimes return here after they start to find their age is causing problems finding work in the US.
To be fair, American startup culture has many good characteristics. Independence, worker driven product development, some good management practices, at will employment - a good thing, keeps vested interests on their toes.

Where America failed is healthcare being tied to jobs. At will employment must come with total freedom in life. Unfortunately a lot of workers did not jump ship often enough for management to feel the repercussions simply because they were afraid of consequences to healthcare.

If healthcare were separated, many knowledge workers would simply quit the next day. They've got the money - they don't need to listen to a bumbling empire builder who only cares about themselves.
Perfectly on point.

I feel the question that might have missed in this interview is what kind of coverage do they manage yearly. And by region. I expect France should comme much closer to 100% than say, any south Asian country.
That looks like a security measure to me.

That energy argument depends a lot.

My parents have their own well. It is less than 2m from the side of the house. Bottom of the well is about 2m below ground level, so you can almost stand in the well and stick your head out. There is usually about 50cm of water at the bottom of the well that gets quickly replenished whenever you take some out.

When we are talking the energy usage, the energy used to pump that water is practically negligible.

Now I understand this is as good as it ever gets (unless you have a stream that can actually produce energy) but consider that pumping water is almost everywhere taking less energy than energy to heat it up.

And if we go into processes like desalination, the amount of energy used grows very quickly. But this can be offset for example by building a solar plant dedicated to providing energy for desalination.
My stress levels plummeted after moving from a distant suburb to a city apartment. I haven't driven a car in months. All the walking has done wonders for my health, physical and mental.

The only stressed people are the ones coming from the suburbs to the city and back again every day and almost all of that stress is in the driving / transport part.
You'll never get Apple to do that though. They didn't with USB-3, they didn't with mouse/keyboard, they won't put them on their cables. And since they're the premium brand, everyone else will have to follow them.
