> The NYT has a century-plus history of pushing the defacto national narratives used by politicians - while they might not be openly backed by any federal interest, they are certainly stochastically willing to play along.

That's very much true of foreign policy. For domestic affairs, it's no longer true. The NYTimes has lost much of its prestige and influence, as has most of mainstream media, with the rise of the internet, and the conversion of the NYTimes to commentary and news-as-therapy. Remember the first epidemic of "mansplaining"? That was not some machinations of the political class, it was angsty young reporters fresh from Smith college using the Times as a personal blog. So you have to tease apart when something is a therapy article and when it still carries some ruling-class signaling weight.

> As the article notes, the last time four-day normalization was floated was the 70's, also a period with substantial labor unrest.

There is not substantial labor unrest in the country today.

This is again more of a personal blog view of the world, where people are promoting things like "striketober". Look at the BLS, which tracks work stoppages:

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/WSU010

Something like 13.5K workers went on strike in October of this year, out of a labor force of 165 million workers. Go back and compare that to historical data.

https://www.bls.gov/web/wkstp/annual-listing.htm

So if there were only this many workers on strikes, why were there so many news articles predicting massive labor unrest and waves of strikes in October? Because when news turns to advocacy, then the articles reveal what the author wishes would happen, not what is actually happening. E.g. news becomes therapy rather than a description of reality.

So this notion that there is "unrest" is pure cope for a working class in which unions have been completely marginalized.

Instead, what you have is a tight labor market, due primarily to 6 trillion dollars of deficit spending in the last 2 years combined with extremely low rates.

In a tight labor market, wages go up as employers outbid each other for workers, but because in this case there was no increase in productivity, inflation follows and removes the real wage gains after a delay:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.nr0.htm

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

That's the U.S. labor market today - a lack of labor power means no strikes, and a lack of productivity growth means no lasting gains in real wages.

Everything else is basically either advocacy or therapy, but it's not a description of reality.

Personally, I am not buying the whole "you can do anything this way" because it seems to me the main driver, implied or plainly stated, is always the "and no js!" part.

Jung's statement is much stronger, more akin to 1/sqrt(N).
A strike isn't just an abstract tactic deployed at the negotiation table, a strike is a big ask of all the members of the striking union.

If a union isn't threatening to strike it's because whatever they expect to gain in leverage and negotiating power isn't enough to offset the cost of the actual strike.
Am I alone in thinking that the Earth is finite and humanity has already outgrown it? We need to start making use of resources in space, because if we don't the ecological consequences are dire. Space doesn't have a biosphere. We need to take all the terrible things we're doing to this biosphere and move them out. There is no other long term solution. The needs of humanity will only continue to grow, even if our population levels off.

I very much get the picture that New Space has an if-you-build-it-they-will-come approach which is soon facing a reckoning. It is very important that the whole of society pivots their thinking to the only thing that will give Earth a long-term future.

Cryptocurrency might be bullshit, it might not, but it is not going anywhere and I'll explain to you why.

Right now, Mitumba in Nairobi can spin up a scrip in under an hour on his cell phone.

I liken it to the invention of a printing press. I can think of all the arguments for why the printing press wasn't that big of a deal when it happened. "Most people can't read! Who is this designed to help exactly? The only people that would be able to use it already know calligraphy, and on top of that have to learn typesetting, nobody is going to use this. All the illiterates will just go ask their bishop what the bible says. This is a solution in search of a problem"

And they'd be right, at the time. To some degree, world changing technological developments all solve a problem that only exists in the world they create. That's what makes them so foundationally transformative.

20 years ago if I wanted to create a currency, I had to press or mint metal coins, or come up with a print design that's hard to counterfeit, get a printer going, print tons of it at significant capital expenditure, then anyone I wanted to use it I'd have to face to face pull out my worthless monopoly money and try to explain to them why they should use it, probably to great amusement.

Right now, I can drop 20 bucks into ubiq or binance smart chain or whatever, then spend a few pennies of that launching a boilerplate erc20 contract, download coinomi wallet on my phone, watch the contract, and I've just created a sovereign currency. I don't even have to create a client application. Not only that, but in the same amount of time it took me to write that, I can explain to anyone how to use it if they want. Me and my family can just create some way to keep track of debts, we can create m3 money. We can settle out if we ever want to, just like you used to be able to redeem your bank notes for gold. Mitumba can create something to keep track of sorghum production in his village or whatever.

This is why this will take over the world. The ability to create financial instruments has been democratized. You might not like it, you might think it is stupid, you might have a plethora of reasons why it is a terrible idea. But the genie is out of the bottle, and over the coming decades you're going to begin to see lists on the front of lemonade stands telling you what currencies are accepted. Maybe Juan who owns the taco truck gives you a discount for paying him in bobcoin for some probably stupid reason or another. The day is coming where you'll be more likely to pay in some random cryptocurrency or other for random purchases than in a state currency, if for no other reason because the ease with which a person can create a currency is ridiculous today, so the world will be drowning in them.

Eh it’s still how I think of them, fwiw. I haven’t seen as much from them since their name change.
The air purifier they recommended makes a loud annoying noise any time the house temp falls below a certain point. The router they recommended started randomly and frequently dropping connections after a year. The WiFi extender they recommended dropped connections from day one and also had noticeable coil whine from across the room. The surge protector they recommended reeked of mid/late 2000s-era cheap plastic and made my living room smell of it for about two weeks. And the expensive house fan they recommended made an off-balance rumbling vibration type noise which made it difficult to fall asleep to.

Upon further research into each issue, I found many other people noticing the same things. In addition, many of the products with these issues I exchanged, only to have the replacement exhibit the same exact problem.

Their presentation is their only real strength for the most part.

The popular, misguided jokes about Gore "inventing the Internet" come from the work he did in Congress in the 70s and 80s, and into the very early 90s, when he was one of the first politicians to embrace and push legislation for it. He was definitely influential in its adoption and proliferation, insofar as politicians are important in funding all these things, and acting as evangelists. There's a pretty good Wikipedia article[1] about it all.

To get grounded in this issue I highly recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/Human-Element-Productivity-Self-Estee...

to nail the fundamentals. There's too many HN posts on human dynamics that float above the fundamentals leaving the whole issue in a fog. It will make clear there are three interrelated issues in sharing feedback:

- behavior of openness

- self-esteem on TL and mentee's parts, which depends on self-awareness

- both of which run on concurrent with potential conflicts around control, openness, and inclusion.

As the book explains openness in the context of human organizations is one of the last things to be well-resolved. Why that's the case is very important to understand. Seen in the context of the book, the OP's write-up makes some good points, however, without the deep principles advanced in the book the solution space will remain in a fog. And to the extent it's foggy, no real progress can take place.

No. A strike is a weapon of last resort -- you have to have the ability to use it, but you don't want to use it. Much better is when both sides are negotiating rationally.

When a union perceives that the company is not negotiating rationally, that's when they take a vote to authorize a strike. Then, hopefully, the strike doesn't happen... but it's available.

I gave up on VCs because I hate the entire experience of raising money and being beholden to someone. It's exhausting, for a start, and takes away so much time from building a product.

I just took my idea list and erased everything that needed VC money.

All ideas need some money to launch, and sadly some of the best ideas need a ton of money to launch.

Ask yourself - do I have a simpler idea I can build first to make enough money to launch the thing I really want to do?

1) You can't do much if the other person doesn't want to be helped, it is not your job to save people, this instance seems to go beyond friendship and the rules i've stated might not apply.

2)Drinking is just one venue, these days i go to the movies with friends (went to see dune recently), have communal meals (korean bbq is a particular favorite), try to ride a bike with a friend once in a while

3)There unfortunately is no fast way to build a circle of friends, cultivating relationships takes time, anyone who tries to rush this process will see their endeavors fail. If you have 0 friends, the best thing to do is try to make at least one friend by talking with people, initiating events, and following through. The rule here is that one lifelong friend is better than dozens of flakey friends.

4)I have friends much older than me and much younger than me, realize that people are people, they all have individual personalities, personalized interests, a relationship is a give and take, take an interest in learning other people's hobbies and interests, give them your attention but ditch them if they don't give you any attention (value yourself as a person first before attempting to make friends).

5)"Sausage party" events are where i had some of my best fun, i mean, unless your goal is to get laid or find a girlfriend, not sure why hanging out with a bunch of guys is considered a negative? The older i get, the more i cherish events where i can hangout with like minded individuals and play video games or talk about tech (which means it is mostly a "sausage party")
Very few things in a VC-backed startup require a shareholder vote. Firing the CEO is not one of them (this is a board vote.) Electing directors to the board is not one of them (this is usually the subject of a voting agreement that ensures board representation by the VCs.)

Let's say the company raises money from VC1, who buys 20%, leaving you with 80%. The contracts add VC1 and an independent to the board, alongside you. Later the company raises money from VC2, who buys 20%, leaving VC1 with 16% and you with 64%. The contracts add VC2 to the board.

Now the board is VC1, VC2, an independent, and you. If the VCs can convince the independent director to vote with them, the board can fire you, even though you own 64% of the company.

So, the parent comment I replied to was in relation to needing VS 2022 for .NET 6, to which I replied that you could use Jetbrains Rider EAP, obviously for .NET 6, to accomplish the task in the linked post.

> They will ever play catch-up with platform capabilities and only offer a subset of the package.

Obviously, they are competing with a 20+yo product.

But atleast I can get all my .NET work done on Linux without needing slow bloated VS with a ton of useless features like 'unit testing for poor code choices or legacy codebases', or 'integration with the 2nd worst collaborative tool after Jira'.
I never said it doesn't work. And yes, i do have "anything substantive" against it. The fact that, as i mentioned, it is just a package manager. And a bad one.

> From what I have seen, most of the opposition to Flatpak comes from the same place that the one to systemd: fear of change.

This is what pisses me off. You, nor anyone else, can tell everyone else what >I< think or feel. It's not fear, nor fear of change, nor any other dumb ass reason people who think like you think it is. I hate it because it's just a package manager. I hate it because, when all the reasons against it are brought up, something nebulous like "security" or something quazi-psychological like "fear of change" are brought up in defense of it.

The real problem with flatpacks is that they don't solve the real problem, and they do it poorly.

Want to solve the problem of your program not running on multiple distros, or not running in 5 years ? Then look at why that is. For example; it's not that the zip file format will change, so why must i recompile my program every time libzip changes ? Or X11 to wayland transition; why does my program have to even care about that when all i want is a window and an opengl context ? (bdw the solution to the latter is SDL2)

Let's look back when flatpack started. Why did it start ? Maybe because GTK3 changed it's API ever so often ?

Linux doesn't have a good GUI toolkit. THAT is the biggest problem here.

I just fucking hate the "ohh, you just don't like change" people. That dismisses all further discussion. That is the real "hate" that people like you blame others of.
No, adding concentrated juice definitely violates "no added sugar" labelling standards, at least as far as the FDA and Health Canada are concerned for sure. I assume in Europe as well.

Some juices are just naturally very high in sugar.
The fish you buy even from reputable suppliers was very likely flash frozen on the boat before it ever reached land. Many fishing boats are out for several days or weeks at a time. So just because it's only been on land a short time, that doesn't mean it's recently caught.

This is a good thing because many fish harbor parasites that are killed when flash frozen. Your home freezer doesn't reliably get cold enough to take them out. You can reliably kill them by cooking very thoroughly, but since fish is such a delicate meat, the line between "may still have wriggling worms" and "overcooked, dry, and unpalatable" can be quite fine.

But also as you shrink stuff, the proportion of it that goes to packaging increases, right? Like, even if you aren't trying to trick people, smaller containers of stuff perhaps should be more expensive per unit net weight. If you go to a normal retailer that sells multiple sizes of the same product (dish soap, tooth paste, whatever), the larger size will typically be cheaper per oz basis.
My mind jumped to "fizzling out" before the "fizz" = "frothy" or "fizz is just temporary" associations kicked in. This is definitely a poor choice of adjective.
