At least drug companies give you a heads up that some products may give you suicidal thoughts. Seems shitty that Facebook hid this until they were caught.
These lights are in the shape of an arrow pointing the wrong way, if it's nighttime it's going to confuse the hell out of you.

Even if it's daytime it's probably going to be confusing for a few hundred milliseconds too, and that's enough to cause accidents.
Part time hours but fulltime availability! What a complete scam. My spouse working in healthcare ran into this at one job. It didn't last long. And they wondered why employee retention was miserable. What's even the point of working at a place that demands such unpaid concessions?

Those hours represent an opportunity cost and should be paid for. They are not free.

What must Gauss think when he hears this?!

The divide-and-conquer Cooley–Tukey FFT "algorithm (and the general idea of an FFT) was popularized by a publication of Cooley and Tukey in 1965, but it was later discovered that those two authors had independently re-invented an algorithm known to Carl Friedrich Gauss around 1805 (and subsequently rediscovered several times in limited forms)."

Depends on how you classify "productive"

in a 40-50hr work week I would say 50-60% is productive actual work (i.e writing a program, or doing the actual task you are paid to do), 10-15% is administrative (making task list, organizing your work, reporting about your work, etc) 10-15% is meetings about your work, 10-15% is socialization with co-workers, unofficial breaks, informal meetings, etc.

So if you do not count the other time as "productive" which I could and would challenge then that 4hr number holds true.
I think the idea is just a larger number of drivers driving smaller, typical vehicles, not literally using Uber/ride-share drivers.
I've considered building my own comment system, and I think I could do it in a low-maintenance way. The main reason I haven't is that I actually like the pattern where discussion happens on facebook/lesswrong/hn/etc. I get wider and more interesting feedback that way.
Very similar. Part of the story here seems to be that the US also has shortages of HGV drivers that have also caused issues like fuel stations having to close: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-02/a-truckin... Since it's basically the same license to drive a school bus or a truck, all those drivers can now get plenty of better-paying work. (As far as I can tell, the only reason this hasn't turned into a full-on fuel crisis like in the UK is because it hasn't been featured on the front page of the American equivalent of the BBC and the Sun, which means the US hasn't had the large-scale panic buying the UK did. Nearly all the examples of petrol stations running out of fuel here are due to massively increased demand rather than an underlying lack of supply; they just don't have the infrastructure to cope with everyone deciding to fill their tanks full at once even if everything's running perfectly. I've seen hints that there are empty shop shelves in the US too from people there complaining about it, but that doesn't have news coverage at all.)
Replying to say that yes, you are absolutely correct. I spoke quite definitely when there were other options, and you rightly called me out for it.

Ambivalence is a key part of most mental health issues. If there were not positive aspects, people wouldn't do it. (The exception would be things that are very much not a choice, like schizophrenia or Alzheimer's).

I know "choice" is a bit of a dirty word when talking about mental illness, we can talk about free will vs predestination ... everyone is just a bunch of atoms bouncing around without "real" free will. But to the extent that people do have anything like a soul or consciousness, a lot of bad choices are still effectively choices, and for a bad choice to be made it needs to have an upside.
I have a Class B CDL (with a medical cert restriction since it was for a state job, meaning no commerical jobs unless I get a medical done. I presume driving a school bus would be exempt for this) in New York. I guess I was one of the "500k+" people targeted by NYS, as I received an email asking me to apply to be a school bus driver. I gave it a quick thought before realizing that I work a 9 to 5 job, so there was no way I could even work the job if I wanted to. Besides the other good reasons mentioned in the article and this thread, I'm sure that also restricts the number of applicants because most people can't work during those hours unless they are retired or unemployed.
'Probably the worst drug approval decision in recent US history'
It depends on what the labour laws and culture are in the Netherlands. Labour protections are generally higher in the Netherlands compared to the US and Canada. The fact that they didn't fire her immediately and found an unrelated excuse to fire her months later makes me wonder if firing her for the blog would have been legal.
Good solutions to labor shortages rarely involve making things more labor-intensive.

In wealthy countries, labor costs are already much higher than the costs of operating the bus itself. (People often claim 70% vs. 30%.) If the economy grows in a way that benefits the working class, labor becomes even more expensive relative to the vehicle. The key to cost-effective services is therefore minimizing the number of people needed for providing the service.
I'd love to get benefits.

Curious: does your district have a shortage too?

If not, maybe the benefits make the difference?
Sounds like they were blindsided because they were too focused on work? And poor communication in the relationship.

It sounds like you think 2 workaholics make a better marriage because they are both "accomplished" and both focused on work, also sounds elitist.

No, it's difficult if not impossible to figure out how to get past the login screen without logging in, and they change it all the time. Also who knows what data they are sending back about you and your watching habits?
Not to suggest this covers everyone or fixes everything, but I think anyone who feels uncomfortable about being completely offline and unreachable outside standard hours really needs to explore that deeply.

I think there’s a % of people who are convinced that they must do it for job preservation. And I think a far smaller % of them are actually right.

I worried about this a lot. Then it got to the point of being so burned out that I was ready to quit. So I realised I had an opportunity to experiment: delete all work stuff from phone, HARD exit at 5pm (I will hang up on slack conversations), and never work outside core hours. It worked beautifully and I just feel frustrated I didn’t realize this years ago.
That's like 6-7 hours of sleep (below recommended normal). Do you take naps during day time?
I ordered a car in 2016, and the process is terrible. For one thing, the local dealers didn't seem interested at all, so I had to drive 30 miles away to a dealer that was willing to make an easy sale.

Then, the options really aren't there anyway, depending on the brand. If I want the safety features, I'm also getting 'premium wheels' which I don't want, the gps navigation time capsule because h I'm not paying $100 to update that, and 70 speakers. And it didn't actually come like we ordered anyway (it was pretty close though, had the vacuum cleaner when we wanted a spare tire, managed to find a spot to squeeze in a spare tire). And after all that, it still took 90 minutes to pick up the car when it showed up 3ish months later.

It's much easier to take a car that's already on the lot. Manufacturer's websites are pretty good at finding inventory that's close to what you really want, and you just deal with that.
How is it that nobody's noticed that facebook (and google)'s motto is basically:

Somewhere around the 2012'ish era, programming attached itself to the "modern" world of politics, political correctness, etc. This was all facilitated through the hard-use of Twitter, an already politically polluted field.

Honestly the best thing you can do is just not use Twitter or Github for social reasons. It's almost a sport at this rate. People trying their best to create drama and false gods. It's almost as bad as LinkedIn.
OK. But you left out this part ...he realized that he made more money off of unemployment benefits (~$2k/month) than he did as a bus driver.
That depends on the application, scale, and frequency of changes, etc.

E-ink displays can update without human intervention. If you're working with a large number of individual items or displays, then you'd have to factor in the human labour cost.

Keep in mind that smaller displays (6--8") can be obtained for ~$20--50 either used or in bulk, and if you're looking a labour costs, these would actually pay for themselves in a few days. Sooner if displays are over a widespread area, are updated often, and/or are hard-to-reach.

A few A4/letter sized notices at doors which an admin staff could update daily or weekly? Stick with paper. A few hundred or thousand over a large campus or outdoor area, updated multiple times daily? E-ink is probably a better fit, and certainly competes with other digital / electronic signage.
Thanks for pointing this out, I'll try to post less matter-of-fact style in the future. I came here leaving reddit behind, maybe this is the reason, so I should adapt.

I posted no evidence because I thought it's common knowledge.

A slave per definition (wikipedia) is somebody who has no choice, other than to accept the work he/she is told to do, wherever, under whatever conditions and in this case under constant fear of loosing this exploitative employment; in other cases this could involve physical abuse.

Yes, under that definition a lot of occupations could be listed. E.g. foreign meat factory workers, hired to work in Germany under hellish conditions, coming from the eastern European nations.

Slave-like for me is just a political correct way of saying slavery. It's a big shame for the EU. Under the cover of free trade, the western EU nations exploit the eastern citizens, to keep prices for goods low.

Back to the topic.

Poland in specific is known for hiring north Korean slave workers
https://www.businessinsider.com/lives-of-north-korea-slaves-... and these business men are not much nicer to their own people.

About eastern European truck drivers in general you can find a lot on the net https://www.vice.com/en/article/ppv3a9/international-lorry-d...

> These drivers from countries like Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Belarus, or Ukraine are often on the road for weeks or even months, and they sit, eat, and sleep on less than three square meters during that time. For many of them, it's the unemployment at home that forces them to drive for any wage—which some carriers will gladly use to their advantage.

I found something on German Tagesschau, which is the official German public news source https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/lkw-fahrer-arb...

But true I found nothing about polish companies sending out swarms to GB now. Maybe they will, maybe not.

The question was if anybody would sign up for this GB offer. I think no, except someone with no choice. Let's see, maybe it will be a big success story for a few thousand individuals earning a golden nose. I hope so.
I’d suggest to revisit voice recognition — it works quite well for me in the same usecase.

I also like to take walks, sometimes listening to podcasts. The stock iOS voice recognition (the microphone button on the keyboard, not Siri) is quite good, I usually just talk into the phone without looking at the output. After the walk, I format and clean up the notes to fix any errors.
I see that you get to that point towards the end of the article. Kudos for writing that insight, but the beginning and history of productivity seem a bit irrelevant. If I had a magic wand, I would reduce the article to 1/4 its length.
Biggest risk since the civil war.... You say that with the clown sitting at the helm now? You literally voted in a dementia ridden, child sniffing pedophile who is but a mere puppet.

totally ignoring that a red dot/light in the context of a camera has been used to indicate a recording state for a long time

That's a separate recording light, not a red dot right in front of the lens.

Lenovo's Camera is in the off/disabled/shuttered position when the red dot is visible.

I've never found this confusing, and in fact the red dot covering the lens makes it more obvious that the shutter is deployed.

> If you're going to hire more drivers, might as well instead pay your existing drivers more.

They already get paid more than Uber drivers. The problem is that "more" isn't enough right now, and there comes a point where the alternative is less expensive.

> You'll get drivers that are more skilled and care more.

There isn't a "caring" section on the CDL test. Why is the assumption that anyone without a CDL is some kind of negligent drug addict?
My Honest Opinion on Whether or Not an an Analog Zettelkasten Is for Everyone
I say this all the time - programming as a job is not a sustainable life. The fact is that sitting in front of a computer doing mental gymnastics is not in any way something humans are able to cope with over any period of time.

People will say "it's just the managers", "it's because you aren't working on interesting things", etc, but it is none of those things. I have worked on interesting projects, been my own boss, etc, and nothing changes.

In ancient times, you would perform physical activities that you often enjoyed to some degree, at least to the extent that they made you feel good at the end of the day and ready to rest. Most of the time, work and play were indistinguishable. Evolution makes it so that we enjoy the things we are supposed to do. Animals play hunt when they are younger (or even when they are older) because it is fun and that is how their genes make them get good at things they need to do. Their job is hunting for food, and they like doing it.

The further away your job is from your natural tendencies, the worse it gets. Sitting in front of a computer programming and doing other things is about as far away as you can get. Sure, we might like solving problems, etc, but not as a job 9-5 every day.

There are the people who say "stop complaining, you sit in an air-conditioned office! You don't have to toil away in a physical labour job", but that is just completely wrong. Sure, some physical labour jobs will mess up your body, but there is nothing healthy about sitting in air-conditioning staring at a computer. I used to work in a physical labour job when I was younger. I had to quit because they were making sure nobody would get full-time steady work. The difference in my mental and physical state going from outdoors physical (but not extreme, body breaking stuff) to office work was extremely noticeable.
They would NEVER say that their research shows Instagram is bad for teens.
Yes, and that was mostly due to biological factors combined with societal needs and the general repression of all genders outside of places of power.

E.g. why were female knights not common? Because knights were given land and in return were expected to answer their lord's summons. A woman that is pregnant cannot answer the summons and must send a delegate to lead her men. I hope I don't need to explain to you the drama and turmoil a no-show like that might lead to, both in military and political terms. Instead, the wives were (usually) the second in commands, and lorded over the lands in the absence of their husbands.
> If it’s between your story and the story the kid told their parents, you’ll lose that battle most of the time and likely end up getting yourself in more trouble than you already were.

You're not wrong, but I wanted to add to it.

This is the reason the district where I live has 7 cameras per bus, 4 of which are inside, IIRC.

Those cameras bring big peace of mind.
>And the US monitors people suspected of crimes all of the time.

Even when they have a warrant allowing them to monitor a suspect, which they do not seem to have acquired here, those do not allow the breaking of attorney–client privilege.

My "alternative" is that the US obeys the limits placed on them, and conducts fair trials of alleged criminals.

And again, I don't like Assange. What I like is the right to a free press and a fair trial.

Dithered images won't be for everyone. I'm sure if I shrunk down a full colour JPEG to a very small size I could have used those rather than my dithered images, but I figure I could have a bit extra size (dimensions) with the dithered images. Also, yeah, I was totally going for the Solar version of Low Tech Magazine's aesthetic too...
True. But the point stands about why humans don't abolish them considering its one of the biggest threat to all humans.

Reminds me of this, funny but makes you think :) - https://xkcd.com/1626/
No, but we should shame the rich silicon valley workers for participating in the same kind of relentless race to find perfectly functioning systems that they can wedge themselves into the middle of and extract profit from while making life for everyone else a little shittier, just as we should shame the for-profit bus companies.

Oh, and we should also shame the elected officials that keep on cutting the amount of money being given to public education. And possibly everyone who votes for them, as well.

There is no labor shortage. There's currently an excess of unemployment benefits.

There's no point in working when you make less than not working.
Speaking of accessibility, do you know how insistent they are on calling? I'm not an iOS dev so it's a hypothetical question for me. However, I can't speak on the phone and I'm amazed by how many problems that's still causing me in the age of jetpacks and 3D printers.
As someone who jumped from the US to Canada for precisely these reasons - do it! I got a PR (i.e Green Card) before even landing and from there you have a guaranteed path to citizenship in 3 years if you like. No amount of money can replace the security/flexibility of a PR instead of being shacked to an employer. Canada's immigration makes you actually feel wanted & welcomed by the country instead of being treated like a half-way criminal by border agents and immigration agencies. Salaries won't match FAANG SV but they're pretty good and they get better every year as more companies hire here and the marketplace heats up.

I didn't say he should have retired, it's just my expectation for a software engineer to have the ability to retire by then.

It's very likely he could retire but he just didn't realized. Maybe looking into it, it's not a bad idea.

What you're saying is not true.

If your product causes 1% of people to have suicidal thoughts, and causes 2% or people not to have suicidal thoughts who otherwise would have, your product has prevented suicides overall.

In this case, the data is closer to the latter case. Given the sample size of the survey and background prevalence of suicide, the result should not be considered significant either way.

"Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories to keep you alive and functioning. It's a generally accepted belief that as you age, your resting metabolism slows --especially over age 40. And if you are a woman in menopause, your metabolism slows even more.

Not true, says a new paper published in Science. By analyzing data from nearly 6,500 people ranging in age from infancy to elderly, the paper's authors determined that resting metabolism holds steady from age 20 to 60 before logging a decrease of less than 1% per year thereafter."
