That's a frustratingly vague piece.

Bottom line: tree based biomass isn't as good as solar and wind and shouldn't be subsidized as much. But, it's almost certainly better than coal which some places are still using.

What I wanted to know, and the article very pointedly didn't tell me: is this a good thing if we limit to scraps from creating planks for other uses? I think it probably is.
Amazon is certainly worse than the average company domiciled in the US, but it is quantitatively and not qualitatively different. Capitalism requires employers to extract as much work out of employees as possible, lest competition overtake them.
Story time!

My friend is a very hard-working person. So, he was working in a Amazon warehouse in Scotland. In two years, he never missed a day or was late.

Then, he got this terrible thing when you get high temperature, nausea etc. He still went to work, commute taking hour. He was barely able to sit in a bus, because his face was green and his head was heavy and he was almost puking.

He gets to work and explains this. Manager tells him: "You can either start work, or you can go now, but then, don't come tomorrow". So, he did exactly that.
There is already a site for that (seeking arrangement).

The core value proposition of suse, red hat, ubuntu lts is binary compatible drop in replacements to a froze version. Which has been created and received tons of back ported bug fixes during it's 3-9 months curing process aka beta program. So security updates keep coming and are fixed, while your application does not need to be forward ported, and has a rock solid foundation underneath.

So the components are deliberately old. And bug fixed. And security maintained.

I'd completely agree with you if MagSafe was the only solution, but my USB-C cord has been kicked accidentally multiple times in the last few years. Every time, it just snapped out perfectly either from the brick or my MacBook. Nothing got harmed, so USB-C already solves the only problem MagSafe is solving, so why have it?

I haven't used ubuntu on any box I personally use in a while, so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems like it's the only distro all the "X didn't work on linux for me" complaints seem to be about. Experiences dealing with it on projects locked into e.g. proprietary Nvidia SDKs or whatever have involved a lot of head-scratching about what they consider "sane defaults" and headaches around package compatibility. All things considered I'm starting to think Ubuntu specifically has kinda jumped the shark as a distro

For what it's worth, I haven't had serious ACPI issues on Arch on any device for about a decade. Might be worth seeing what else is out there, if these sorts of pain points are cropping up for you a lot. Rolling-release also has the advantage of never having to fully reinstall the OS unless you really go and break something. I've had bad luck with in-distro upgrades breaking horribly whether it's debian or fedora or what have you, but rolling-release installs have lasted me... I think the longest one was 12 years? An old webserver that finally lost too many hardware components to function after a lifetime of heavy use. I've heard good things about NixOS from friends, though I'm a little leery of "immutable configs". I'm not trying to be a snob here, but Ubuntu ain't the only game in town, and it sounds like a lot of people try it and decide linux just doesn't work, so I haven't recommended it to anyone in years, and I should probably start actively steering them off it

Of course, another salient possibility is that as the most famous linux distro, it's what people who've installed linux without any real intention to use it - or perhaps more charitably without understanding that unfamiliarity is a real switching cost and give up immediately - have tried

In Poland, there is a strong mentality of overworking yourself, especially when it comes to physical work. Sometimes colloquially referred to as "kultura zapierdolu". Basically, especially for older generations, if you don't come home from work exhausted you didn't work hard enough. And if you didn't work hard enough, you don't deserve to get paid.

I switched from Android to iPhone a few years ago and certainly don't miss having to sort through a sea of models when looking for something new. I keep all my old devices to use for hobby projects, so I appreciate the longevity of updates that Apple gives.

If you're looking for a great camera, a new iPhone will certainly give that to you. And of course you'll almost certainly get a long tail of os upgrades like you've had with your 6s, so if you keep it for 5+ years the price is more tolerable. A 64gb 12 mini can be had for 800 CAD new. And you can certainly get cheaper if you buy second-hand.
9% of the workers reported never using a condom and a further percentage only use them sometimes. I suspect those are the majority of the 17% with an std.

How do you diagnose this as death from overwork? This seems a convenient view of the incident for those who want to push particular narrative against a popular boogeyman.

Of course Amazon has a duty of care to those suffering medical problems at work, but how do you jump from that to "death of overworking"?

No, that would be a normal accident. What actually happened was there was too much work, he asked his manager to give his team more people but they refused, and finally agreed to send someone at the end of the day. The next day the guy felt pain in the chest, could hardly walk, but the manager said he has to walk to the paramedic on his own (wtf?). So he lost consciousness while trying and never managed to regain it. Sick company, sick management.

I feel sorry for his family and it shouldn't happen. Maybe Amazon conditions and procedures aren't good enough, but people should pay attention to their bodies telling them something is off. When you're 49 it's no longer rinse-repeat, you can't just continuously run your engine at 120%…
But the size of Amazon amplifies the inherent problem and makes the whole thing a caricature of normal work conditions.
You should only develop on the stacks of companies that value backwards compatibility, such as Apple.
This is the high-end price. It's not for every man and definitively not for every woman. While some intelligence is required to charge these high prices, some genetics lottery luck is also required.

> It strikes me somewhat oddly that one might pay so much for something that literally half the people on this planet is equipped to provide

High-end is basically differentiating yourself from average.

I think his point is that employees better take care of themselves than trusting a for profit organisation to do the equal job.
It isn't only with Amazon, there are plenty of managers who will cut corners or leave aside common sense with regards to the safety of their team members. Company policies can put safe guards in place, but in the end it doesn't take a genius to go around them.
The obsession with amazon is likely due to the fact it's a very profitable company, in the end, profit or not, employees should take care of their well being, most places I worked had a few individuals who would destroy themselves , just with overwork. We can blame the authorities, or take our responsibilities. The bills and debt arguments, put that on society as a whole for having so many people in precarious situations.

Are you in the private beta? What’s your experience been like?
I think the implication is that it's not necessarily better than coal because burning forests is only carbon neutral on a very long time scale. Eventually the cycle of harvesting trees, burning the wood, and planting more trees is carbon-neutral (minus any carbon from logging and transportation).

But, if the process starts with logging existing forests, this releases carbon (more than coal). It would be "better" to burn coal and plant new trees than to burn wood and plant new trees. This would result in more land being forested - but that's the point.
>> or management incompetence.

Seems to be absolutely the case here. The worker has reported to his "leader" that he's feeling unwell but was ignored. I'd expect criminal charges to be brought against him at this point.

I think Amazon can implement whatever solution they want, but if your manager ignores a very direct report of feeling unwell then what else can you do?

>>But here is Amazon, with its history of endangering its workforce, that once again will do nothing.

Well, we'll see what happens in this case. Polish prosecutors can be very zealous(for better or worse) so I don't think "nothing" is on the table.
Btw, as much as I know, basic set theory, math logic and proof techniques (e.g. "How to prove it" level roughly) are almost universally delayed till university years. These generic tools are much more important than calculus!

I don't really understand why. This results in many omissions in school-level curriculum, I.e giving formulas with no proofs. This results in kids seeing math as a kind of meaningless and boring symbol manipulation.

Was there ever a discussion around this problem in the US?
If anything is to change, individual consumer action won't do it; the workers would need to unionise.

For many of us this is going to be the future, die at work. I think it is unfair to make people work over 50 given that you likely to be dead by the age 70, making the retirement age 65+ is crazy. It would be much better to split 20+ - 20-30 - 20+ (childhood, working, retired) our life especially for warehouse workers. Please do not tell me we do not have the money for this when most of the wealth is owned by the top 1% who horde it, hide it and not paying any tax on it. We blow money on wars(on terror, on drugs and so on) and yet we do not have money for people to retire and enjoy life? I do not think so.

"before the british came."
More accurately - before Islamic conquerors came. The Vijayanagara empire was utterly destroyed by the Sultanates.

Devadasi as an institution was shattered first by Islamic invaders - who even record this in their journals. In-fact most Islamic historians explicitly declaim this as liberation of women in India and how Islamic conquest uplifted backward society in that era.
Might as well buy all the devices you can then of course!
I don't see how the "men" part is relevant of what you are saying. The "rich" part is a good point: that's certainly more unfair.

I'm thinking that if men and women of equally poor background, women have this escort option that men don't (obviously they do, but it pays far less good on average than women).
does Walmart have similar problems with employees being forced to work to death? I thought it was mainly because Amazon leadership are your inhumane rationalist optimiser types.
Not sure if they just slip by while not being in the spot light. Amazon repeatedly failed to follow COVID regulations in France, refused to reduce operations to a manageable point and instead opted to shut the affected warehouses down completely.

Unions are for sure not the silver bullet that will solve all problems, but just look at the different working conditions across countries and you will see that generally speaking, unions do lead to better working conditions and overall well-being of the employees. After all, that's literally their purpose and why they exist in the first place.

> I wish people who weren’t doing the work would fuck right off with interfering with other peoples working relationships. [..] You feel fucked from every direction at a warehouse.

It's precisely the POINT to interfere, because they cannot fend for themselves. It is literally the reason why unions were invented and why governments of pretty much all advanced nations choose to regulate work: There will always be those who have no choice but to accept the work that is given to them, and unless someone fends for them, they will be exploited.

Try to keep your own emotions out of it, and look at the raw numbers & statistics across countries. The patterns are evidently clear.
Can you think of a function where the input is valid, the output is NaN and nothing has gone wrong in the process?

My biggest problem here is that pretty much all working class labour has deep power imbalances and rampant systemic exploitation, but none of the discussion around it robs the labourer of quite as much agency as the discussion around prostitution. Very few people point to Amazon warehouse pickers and say the nature of the work is so obviously non-consensual it should be illegal, even if they're forced into it by impending homelessness or addiction.

It irritates me when people who are making the best of the hand they're dealt get talked down to like they haven't made a choice, and thrown in jail because they're trying to put food on the table. Yeah, vulnerable people are prostituting themselves because the alternative is worse, but how does making prostitution illegal fix the problem? It's a dumb knee-jerk reaction that makes everything worse - prostitution is driven underground, governments can't ask about working conditions or prosecute bad johns, and vulnerable people end up in jail.

> Most of those deaths happen because of appalling work conditions

We need data to be sure of this. Remember when all those people making iPhones committed suicide because of the terrible working conditions [1]?

But further investigation then found that suicide rates amongst workers were actually lower than suicide rates of regular people in China or the USA...

This might well be a story like that. Without data we can't know.

Economic activity nearly always has negative externalities. Our economic model is based on ever growing economic activity, and coupled with population growth this produces ever mounting externalities. We treat these externalities separately, as individual problems to solve, first clean air, then clean water, then fixing the ozone hole, now fighting global warming. Every time that we “solve” these problems we cause new externalities to pop up. Even if we “solve” climate change, something else will pop up. Perhaps the impact of chemicals on biological reproduction? That is building up steam and would be even bigger to tackle than climate change.

The classic environmentalist solution is to live a smaller life, with fewer things. That is a hard sell and runs counter to innate human instinct to gather resources. On the other hand, economic policy can’t seem to move past fighting symptoms, and does its very best to pretend the growth model isn’t the root cause of all environmental problems. Does anyone have a handle on a real and pragmatic solution I wonder?
Also - in Poland Amazon warehouses are known for paying well above the average in the areas they are in, with good benefits. Every single article about them in Polish press usually points this out - yeah you're working for a megacorp, but that megacorp consistently pays more than any other employer in the area for unskilled work.
