> In terms of overall welfare, an additional dollar in the pocket of a typical union worker is going to be more welfare enhancing than that additional dollar in the pocket of the typical owner.

Maybe, but printing a dollar and giving it to a union worker causes worse inflation than printing a dollar and giving it to an owner.
I was thinking so (know too little about mindfulness). If you look at the state of Zen in Japan it is in a sharp decline and probably the vast majority does not practice meditation (couldn't find numbers though). While I sympathize with meditation it somehow has been taken over by modern life

If i read things properly, the spaces concept is not specific to the Element client (available per the underlying matrix protocol)...so technically, any other client could in fact apply a different UI/UX approach to displaying the spaces, such as tabs...again, if i'm understanding things accurately. So, maybe other clients could implement something more to your liking (such as tabs)??

What you are doing is not individuation per se but is one component of it. By identifying immature psychic traits in yourself and how you react to others you are withdrawing your own projections.

That is one way of trying to know your own shadow self. Knowing and integrating shadow is first step to individuation.

Ask HN: Hearing aid and listening to music / making calls
Mild hearing loss in one ear will require me to wear a hearing aid (BTE or RITE) on one side. I enjoy listening to podcasts and music but also need to be on a fair number of calls for work throughout the week. I don't have high requirements regarding sound quality as long as the music sounds good enough, I do like a bit of base if possible.

Until now I used in-ear headphones for music and an on-ear headset for work. Upon a bit of searching the web, I couldn't find an obvious alternative that works well with a hearing aid, over-ear and on-ear seem to cause feedback and in-ear simply won't be possible anymore. At least that's what I found.

Does anyone have experience with this and can recommend a setup? Thank you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fratricide

>Nuclear fratricide

>In relation to nuclear warfare, nuclear fratricide denotes the inadvertent destruction of nuclear warheads or their delivery systems by detonations from other warheads in the same attack. The blast, EMP and debris cloud may knock them off course, cause damage or destroy them.

>Theory

>Estimating fratricidal effects is complex. One source states that "It appears that two weapons targeted on a silo must arrive at least ten seconds apart to avoid fratricidal fireball effects, and less than one minute or more than one hour apart to avoid fratricidal nuclear dust cloud effects." Hence "deconflicting" attack patterns and using staggered "walking barrages" became part of U.S. and Soviet nuclear tactics.

>This theory was put forward as a defense mechanism for the LGM-118 Peacekeeper missile deployment, reasoning that multiple detonations would be required to knock out an entire battery of missiles if sufficiently protected. This strategy was ultimately rejected though, as enemy launches can be staggered through time to ensure warheads reach their target with enough delay between them to prevent the phenomenon.

>This method of using staggered launch was described by a missile combat crew, whose members revealed that on receiving a launch command "Some [missiles] fly immediately, some with a delay to prevent nuclear fratricide when the bombs approach their targets in 20 to 30 minutes.".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_warfare#1980s

>However, comparisons with supervolcanoes are more misleading than helpful due to the different aerosols released, the likely air burst fuzing height of nuclear weapons and the globally scattered location of these potential nuclear detonations all being in contrast to the singular and subterranean nature of a supervolcanic eruption. Moreover, assuming the entire world stockpile of weapons were grouped together, it would be difficult, due to the nuclear fratricide effect, to ensure the individual weapons would go off all at once. Nonetheless, many people believe that a full-scale nuclear war would result, through the nuclear winter effect, in the extinction of the human species, though not all analysts agree on the assumptions that underpin these nuclear winter models.

Syncthing really ought to be most people's de-facto syncing utility. I switched to it from Nextcloud, and while I gave up quite a bit of functionality, I've come to love how light and simple Syncthing is. Also, the Android support is top-notch, I don't think it's ever missed a sync.
I don't have a solution. I highly enjoyed programming in school, I was learning non-stop. Everyday was filled with new concepts, most people around me eager to learn.....then I entered the work force, red tape, politics, plus I cannot pull all nighters anymore. Then, there is life outside of work, health, family, kids. I think as things become a routine, it becomes boring. You could seek a new employer but at some point you will realize most employers won't offer anything you haven't done before and unicorns are hard to find unless you are extremely smart.

Now, programming is a job. I do what is required, collect paychecks and chill out after work.

> everything that has nothing to do with syncing my files

Dropbox feels more and more like Evernote all the time. I don't know what is the purpose of this product. To get people to pay $10/month for their storage service?

I can get a family plan from Microsoft with 1 TB of storage for each of six people, plus their office apps, for $100/year. I can get 2 TB from Google or Apple for the same price as Dropbox, but they have lower price points too. Google and Apple storage are already on your device when you buy it. A Chromebook comes with Google Drive for 1 year for free.

Rather than accepting reality, Dropbox appears to be stuck in 2012 where people think of them when they think of cloud storage, and they think that slapping additional features on top will make up for their pricing.

I'm not convinced that's a win-win, with the exception of large lectures. These are essentially glorified video presentations with little to no possibility of student interaction during class hours, and I firmly believe that they can be replaced by video lecturing with a TA present for easy questions.

The value of a college class isn't the content itself, as 95-100% of the material can be found in the textbook for that course. If you were sufficiently motivated, you could use the textbook and the class syllabus to gain all of the relevant information.

The real value for a lot of students is in interactions with professors. You can ask questions and get topics explained a different way. You can discuss specific topics and get guided towards additional helpful resources. You can learn from the questions that other students ask as well.

Point being that streamed lectures with royalties is only a win-win if we accept that classic lectures are one of the more effective teaching styles. As Zoom-style classes indicated, many professors were unwilling or unable to adapt their classes to fit the remote environment. Many of the classes held over the pandemic resulted in students getting much lower grades, which is an (albeit weak) indicator that recorded lectures aren't better than their in-person counterparts.

This also ignores the possibility of a more effective class structure. Some of the best classes I ever took had little to no traditional lecturing. Class discussions, designing presentations, writing unique paper styles, etc. are often more effective pedagogical strategies.

Granted, this requires professors to focus more on teaching which may be a non-starter.

I guess it's like training an exit routine that I can quickly enact in those fleeting moments of self-awareness while scrolling, it's still intentional but it has to be quick and decisive or you'll just go back to procrastinating. I wouldn't ever do it while being productive because if I became self-aware of being productive, I'd just think "Nice one!"

If you'll indulge me for a tangent, if you have heard of lucid dreaming you may have heard of strategies people use to help them recognize a lucid dream. You essentially train habits, like checking your watch or reading things twice, that will help you notice inconsistencies in the dream that wouldn't exist in real life. This will clue you in to the fact that it's a dream.

Deep procrastination is kind of like being in a dream, you're zoned out and you just ebb through it mindlessly. You can train yourself some cues, mental escape hatches, that jog you into self-awareness long enough to enact your escape routine (turn off the device, get up off the chair etc)

Maricopa and Pinal counties have lots of agricultural water that either comes directly off the Colorado river via canal, or is pumped from shallow alfalfa field runoff groundwater that is too full of nitrates to be even remotely potable.

We also, unlike the CA Central Valley or the Midwest who are apparently cool with depleting their resources as fast as humanly possible, are acutely aware of our groundwater supply constraints, given that we live in a desert, and practice a lot of aquifer recharge and management.

Intel cleans it, uses it, and dumps it into aquifer recharge, which cleans it even further.

I would go for “4 meters and a tiny bit”. When driving in a thick fog that limits vision to 4 meters, a sane driver interprets “don’t see anything” as “there’s at least 4 meters of room”, not as “5 meters” or “10 meters”.

That also makes sense if you interpret “sensor says 3” not as “obstacle is 3 meters away”, but as “there’s 3 meters of room”.

But then, I didn’t try to see what works better. I find the result surprising, though.

Hunting a NUMA Performance Bug
Right to association is a fundamental American value something that American conservatives must value and something that Libertarians have always valued.

There is no argument that employees should have the right to form an association. The problems arise when such associations get "special privileges" that an average worker does not. Both L and R talk a lot about "equality of law" but happily shred that principle when it comes to their own voter groups.

Nearly all the evil (as you describe it) caused by unions is eventually due to the collective bargaining rights and other privileges.

In the words of Milton Friedman, unions do not protect workers. The competition protects workers. Market competition is the biggest rival to unions and hence unions will go to extreme lengths to prevent this sort of competition to keep themselves relevant. This does immense harm to workers as well as society in the long term. Folks like me who have seen extreme violence unleashed by workers unions end up despising very notion of unions for the same reason.

Yeah, there's an entire category of "idea guys" who don't get this. They repeatedly try to crack the code on a truly moderation-free or purely crowd-moderated platform, and it never, ever, ever works.

It almost always boils down to a poor understanding of how humans work (usually some sort of "homo economicus") or how computers work (usually some sort of "AI magic wand").

there's all sorts of issues with online work communication, and this is most certainly one of them, but a seemingly-flippant, passive-aggressive response linking to an external site surely can't really help much, and might in fact be perceived as rude in itself? the page doesn't seem to address any of these greater communication issues, which seems like a missed opportunity.

I encountered a great many issues like this while working for an international remote web dev shop, and they definitely deserve more attention than we give them. for example, the newest hire after me was a Mexican guy who was really nice and great to work with, but when our team was tasked with working with another team to complete some tasks, the responses he got about the stuff he was working on from the other team were terse and highly critical, and, as he perceived it, very rude. I had to explain to him that the other team was extremely tight-knit and used to very terse, effective communication (involving direct, to-the-point criticism of each others' work) to get things done, and that nobody hated him or thought he was a bad programmer or anything. eventually he came around but for awhile there I could tell it was really tearing him up and making him feel unwelcome.

a bit of empathy in resolving these remote communication issues goes a long way.

Not sure if I understand correctly, but if you mean how re-training and deployment would be.

Nothing fancy tbh.

For the first several deployment while taking care of edge case and debugging, all manually on my own laptop and shot into cluster as a docker image.

Later, when starting to classify more content on the platform itself:

- Webhook will trigger the CI to train the model with new ham and spam content.
- A new docker image was created and deployed to container.

The above would fail if success rate in validation/testing would be below 95%.

Still when classifying bad content, the whole process happens automated.

Special thanks to Gitlab CI, shell scripts, Python and Docker Swarm.

Modern mass-market electronics have been made with lead-free solder for a long time because of RoHS regulations (I believe this is an EU thing but most manufacturers have retooled everything to be lead-free). I'd argue that electronics solder is a lot less of a concern anyway since it's usually only in hard-to-reach places. It's a major concern for disposal, however.
Sell private domains as an "enterprise" feature, and have different sets of IP blocks warmed and ready to go for when they eventually get blacklisted. But selling it as a service involves a higher level of effort due to that exposure. Configuring a private domain for just yourself to solve the problem just for you doesn't have the same risk exposure.
