The whole lower/middle class divide is an arbitrary distinction that only serves to split the broader working class. A white collar programmer has more in common with a janitor then with a CEO.
I tried a blind taste test, and the answer from my perspective was no.

I don't buy it.

The "parallelism vs concurrency" distinction is one of those pedantic distinctions that confuses people. It's right up there with "A Monad is Like A Burrito" or an old definition of object oriented programming that still exists on programming splogs and the occasional job interview.

It's not unusual for a parallel job to be done by slicing a job into a large set of tasks and then farming it out to some execution framework that concurrently runs those tasks. That framework could be also concurrently running tasks that come from other jobs, parallel or not. The key thing is that the task runner has no idea and needs to have no idea about which tasks are part of which parallel job. (e.g. this is the case with feeding tasks into an executor, Hadoop, dask, and many different frameworks)

When you look at a real system you tend to find parallel and concurrent concepts working hand-in-hand.
>> Is this the inevitable outcome in all cases or is this a symptom of a flaw in our model?

The problem seems to be that "investment" these days is all about selling to someone else at a higher price. Stock performance has decoupled from company value but people still try to "meet expectations" anyway.

One driver is low interest rates. Another is the 401k plans in the US where every middle-class employee is systematically pushing money into the market. this provides an ultimate sucker for every VC to sell to since the end-game is to IPO at astronomical valuations.

> Why are not unions (labor) part of the right to free association in the US?

They are - you can already form a union whenever you want with whoever you want (some exceptions like armed forces.)

This vote is about forcing the employer to talk to your union.
> The upper-class is using the lower-class against the middle-class.

While true, that is not illustrated by the thing you are pointed to, which is the upper class using the working class against leadership within the working class.

The middle class (petit bourgeoisie) is mostly not involved in this instance.

I just gave up on Amazon Spain about 2 years ago already. It's just completely impossible to filter and rank stuff properly, just loads of crap you don't want. I heard it's worse in Amazon US.

What I don't get about this companies (because this seems a problem shared between google, YT and Amazon) is when they optimize for clicks or whatever their KPI, what are they thinking is the outcome in the mid term?

I mean, IDK around you, but I'm the prosumer regular folks ask for recommendations. They may be safe for the time being but of course I'm going to contribute for their competitors getting klout.

I don't have an alternative for YT, but people watches me using DDG and whe they ask for recommendations for buying stuff I don't even bother with Amazon.

I'm not the type who pushes his decisions onto others, but I already got asked why I don't use google and amazon.
Good browser addon idea
Well, Firefox blocks gifs to me too.

It depends on how you configure it. Any option you choose, make sure the first frame is informative.
That's precisely the point I was trying to make in my OP. In theory freedom of association affords one the ability to form a union in any manner they please, but a union which does not conform to the requirements of the NLRA is not entitled to the special legal protections granted by that act.
Bought a $35 usb condenser mic for online meeting. It is good even for recording songs (Tested by a friend of mine). It's better to not be seen clearly than not being understood due to poor microphone (Although I did get a better webcam).
> In Monday's decision, the NLRB regional director said that Amazon "engaged in objectionable conduct that warrants setting aside the election."

Is there a public written NLRB decision? The OP didn't link to it or mention the specifics. Not a great article.

Or is there another way to see the specifics on what the NLRB considered to be the "objectionable conduct that warrants setting aside the election"?

It would be good to have the specifics of what the NLRB actually decided was this before diving into arguing about it, wouldn't it?
Brian has also complained in interviews about how many microcontrollers are already on your motherboard and how few of them Linux really controls. It's all proprietary and god knows what's actually running in there (and how many bugs and security vulnerabilities they have).

None of those are a great situation for multitenant scenarios.

This doesn't have to be control plane only. It could also be IO subsystems.
Yeah but those employees benefit from exits as well
We currently don't support it out-of-the-box, but a community member is building a custom multi-tenant solution on top of Medusa essentially using the engine as building blocks.

Our architecture allows you to create custom entities, services and endpoints in your own Node.js project. Additionally, we use Avilix for dependency injection which allows you to use all services across all parts of the system; core, plugins, your custom project. In combination, you are provided with the primitives that can handle commerce business logic in almost any type of project.

Quickly make detailed bug reports for your website
The problem with this kind of UI is that when you scroll the page, you inadvertently mouseover the links as you scroll.

So different pieces of the content you are trying to read keep getting hidden in a frustrating way as you're trying to read it.

You can see this in the OPs video right at the beginning - after the very first mouseover he moves his mouse out of the colum, to the right, in order to see the column for his first scrolling motion.
Sure, if the company is of the sort that can function fine without its workers. This does not really always work out in practice, esp. in today's labor market.

If you start hiring permanent replacements, you're basically killing any chance of a successful negotiation.
Light field tech is so exciting.

Light fields will be extremely conducive for building ML models around. It'll be possible to generate incredibly rich and realistic 3D scenes with the additional information light fields convey. Possibly some downsampled number of rays to make compute easier.

Multiple view scene constructions will make for incredible filmmaking that can be tweaked in post. No shot, reverse-shot. No cheating the camera. (That's assuming we don't switch from optics to mocap + rendering outright.)
My first task with a new system is to remap capslock. I like having it replace ijkl with arrows, but my muscle memory is now so dependent on this convenience I am impeded when I switch back to a vanilla keyboard.
> " Politeness > accuracy & honestly "

These concept are pretty much orthogonal. While I don't disagree that insistence on politeness can get in the way of good discourse, it is an all-to-common mistake to read or promote lack of politeness as a signal of honesty and accuracy - which manifestly isn't the case.

It's also often done in a lazy way. Which doesn't imply the thinking is also lazy, but there is a good correlation.
I'm having trouble understanding what problem Web3 is attempting to solve
According to https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/AL, the median income is $50k so it's good but hardly lavish and https://statisticalatlas.com/place/Alabama/Mobile/Household-... has the 80th percentile just under $100k whereas 95th percentile is $154k.

I think it's easy to forget just how uneven things have become since the middle of the previous century: someone making more money than 95 out of every 100 Alabama residents is doing quite well compared to most of the people in the state and is still nowhere near CEO-level compensation.
I'd like to hear more about Oxide's development process. Was this designed on an index card, and then implemented? Or was it done with piles and piles of diagrams and documents before the first code was committed? Was it treated as a cool, out-there idea that's worth exploring, and then it gradually looked better and better?

It's hard to get software organizations to do ambitious things like this, and it's impressive that this was done on a relatively short timescale. I think the industry could learn a lot from how this was managed.
> Which means I have a photograph of you which you did not consent to being in and you object to me sharing.

Then it's impossible to take pictures of public spaces. There's a reason why you do not have the benefit of privacy in a public space.
I think a world without mergers would cause a lot of trouble for companies nearing bankruptcy and especially their workforce. When a company is about to fall over because if cashflow issues, another can come in with its reserves and save hundreds or thousands of jobs. That's good for everyone.

I'd argue for a world with only limited possibilities for mergers, where mergers are a last resort rather than the goal of a startup. So many companies these days produce absolutely nothing of value in the hopes of being bought out by a big conglomerate.

> The whole lower/middle class divide is an arbitrary distinction that only serves to split the broader working class. A

The typical drawing of the line in US discussions within the working class is; the middle class is a distinct economic class with distinct interests, but it is a much narrower and generally (though not entirely, because economic class and wealth are different though correlated things) richer group than the usual US understanding of “middle class”.

Okay, I see what you mean now. Yeah, the protections are not as encompassing as a non-NLRB-approved use of the word "union" might lead people to believe.
It's not "just Bing", but that also doesn't matter if people are happy with the search results. Honestly Bing has gotten pretty good, and nobody really noticed.

It comes up every time DDG is mentioned that it's "Just Bing". It could be made using an early beta version of AltaVista and rejected NetBSD patches for all I care. The results are pretty good regardless of how they're produced.
There's clearly a new form of highly ranking SEO "blogspam" that I'm now seeing in the top results for many searches.

It's a long article, with multiple headings and short paragraphs for each. Your search terms will be a near-match for one of the headings. The problem is that heading is 3/4 of the way down the page, so you have to scroll past pages of introductory paragraphs and basic info about whatever you're searching for.

For example, for the search term:

> how long does icloud photo upload take

Included in the top results are the pages:

- https://9to5mac.com/2018/12/31/upload-icloud-photos-iphone-i...

- https://www.blog.motifphotos.com/using-icloud-for-your-photo...

- https://backlightblog.com/how-to-upload-photos-to-icloud-fro...

Which all fit the mold of blog post I'm describing. General, multi-heading pages about a particular topic that rank highly for a specific contained within.

The content, once you get to it, isn't necessarily bad. But what I want from the results is a single page / blog post with only the specific heading and paragraph. Or even better, the best Stack Exchange question and/or Reddit thread that fits the term.
tips: do prompt engineering like you're programming VQGAN

GAN image generators can be tricked into giving results with phrases like 'unreal engine', 'artstation', 'junjo ito', 'van gogh' https://minimaxir.com/2021/08/vqgan-clip/

same for google. 'gist' gives you a specific category of technical results. seems like the default is some combination of medium, SO + github issues
I personally like his stuff from before Diamonds and Pearls, mostly. After that I think he got further and further removed from his original funk roots, and I think he sort of drifted off into a sea of wishy-washy new age stuff that he never fully re-emerged from. I know his later stuff will, still, be endorsed by hardcore fans, but I do not think it's for the casual listener.
It's trying to solve the problem of crypto bros not being rich enough?
There is something about software engineering, and I'm going to get hammered for this, that seems to convince people that everyone are idiots and doing it all wrong. It might be from personal experience explaining their field to family and friends, or perhaps it's brought about by constantly building things for themselves, idk. They seem to have especial disdain for scientists, who have a long and stories reputation as the intellectual elite, which might just rub their egos the wrong way.
Well maybe, when we graduate to accepting the endemic nature, we'll stop appending the year to it
The man is insanely popular in so many countries, that's quite impressive.

At the same time, I hope he takes a moment to consider how he is treating staff and employees in certain situations.

With great power comes great responsibility.
Very cool. I do always wonder with projects like this that rely heavily on proprietary software, what happens if a few years down the road the company folds? Now do I have a fancy brick to mount on my camera? I was hoping to see a more explicit statement about whether the raw data was still reasonably usable or at least readable outside the proprietary software. That may be the case and I just missed it, but as a potential customer of this the possibility of the lens being useless without their software can be a bit spooky. That having been said the tech looks great and I hope they do really well!

> Let's just say for a moment that human-caused climate change is either minimal or even non-existent.

But we know that this is not the case. To me, this exercise is along the lines of wondering what the universe would be like if the cosmological constant had a different value.

It's a discussion about a theoretical world which does not exist, isn't it? What is the point then?

There is no inalienable right to be hired. Freedom of contract is a stronger right in the US and one that "right-to-work" states put restrictions on.
I only use the green ones. The three lobed ones are strong up, the four lobed ones are milder. No theory on the sweetness, but then I don't use the red, orange, or yellow ones very often. Maybe like garlic? Young garlic super strong, mature less so?

The male versus female bell pepper nonsense is just that, nonsense. My mother thinks it's all nonsense, but she's wrong.

Old algorithm with todays internet content would be utterly garbage.
I'd be interested to see if there's any research that would lead you to believe that conversions are increased by this change.

It's an interesting proposition, but I wonder if we're really getting to the core of the stakes here. I'm not a huge fan of the hover state tool tips. It feels like this information design here could be more considered.

If we're going to think of the GIFs as tool tips, then we're talking about them as non-essential information for motivated users. The thing is, I think that works well when it's used sparingly in context, but not for every single list item on page. It's a bit of a pain and it looks messy to read each header and then hover, one-by-one to get more context.

If we made a more firm decision about the role the GIFs play, then we could take a stronger strategic approach to their implementation. If they are essential, they should be part of the displayed design. There are certainly methods to format text and images that make the document easily scannable. That said, I think what might be more applicable here would be a drawer strategy with a section that expands for more information.

At the end of the day, I think what's most relevant is that there are 30+ features to highlight and that seems like way too many for a pricing page!
My apologies, I misread your point!
Well, in between those, Genghis Khan was tearing down empires all across Asia, the Middle East, and eastern Europe. Certainly global in scope for the time.
No information on how it's secured, audited or even considerations about software lifecycle. This project is either straight up compromised or begging to be - the browser equivalent of rolling your own crypto.
Yes, and it's what I do. I copy ebooks from my computer to my phone with Syncthing, read on my phone and... only on my phone :-)

I know that there are page syncing services, maybe even a self hostable one from Mozilla but I'm lazy about this. After all my phone is always close to me and the screen is even wider than newspaper columns used to be.

Too bad browsers are too crippled to build PWAs with the power of native apps. Thanks for the effort anyway :-)
It's staggering how much the results for any product query that isn't from Reddit or a site like Wirecutter is just unusable. I was recently looking for thin winter gloves and literally every page was an SEO referral scam.

I 100% agree, but even in the 1990s and to a fault the degreed programmers were very anti-union.
The British euphemism "going to the toilet" for pissing/shitting is also a little odd: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/760afb9b-6723-4206-bfdb-d832a18...

And toilet itself is a washing-related euphemism like bath or lavatory. It comes from the French word toilette (little piece of cloth).
> Any optimization you could do in Rust is probably easier in C++

That's kind of funny in light of the history that certain optimizations in web layout engines were attempted, unsuccessfully, in C++ multiple times and ultimately they invented Rust to make them easier.

Apple and Microsoft too. And Microsoft doesn't even have anything competitive to offer there.

But yeah, the rest of the world has been busy ignoring those 3.
Or maybe people are considering things other than their personal wallet when deciding whether to support unionization or not. Some folks just don't want to be part of a union, even if there weren't any dues.
I confirmed. Even when doing sketch, the key thing to get right is the eyes.
True, the picking quality is a big factor for the experience. Especially when it’s about shopping for ingredients for a meal. We try to improve this by placing the order on behalf of the customer, so we can optimize the product selection for the cooking experience and have the option to guide the pickers with comments/chat towards the most appropriate products or suitable substitutes if something is out of stock.

Besides that we are considering to give the user an option to simply export the optimized shopping list, so it can be used for offline shopping. We got this a few times as a feature request from users who like to shop the ingredients themselves, but still like a service which provides them with personalized suggestions each week and generates a combined shopping list.

From a freedom of speech perspective unfortunately. Google does a very good job of crushing wrong think.

I'm not even talking about the last 2 years when they've been openly policing I mean stuff that's critical of employees that google has had to fire for committing felonies on their infrastructure.

This constant "refinement" is getting to the point that I regularly end up hitting page 4 or 5 on technical matters because google introduced a broken system to counter abuse from people claiming to be best friends with bigfoot in his UFO...

I with they'd trust tech blogs more than they do... Esp from authors sticking to the subject matter not conspiracies or opinion pieces. A decent tech blog is worth 1000x more than musk has ever tweeted for instance imo.
the article says that the Foundation owns the Company. Wonder how that changes when the company IPOs... maybe the Foundation retains majority ownership?

"The Raspberry Pi Foundation, formed in 2009, is a registered charity with a goal of putting “the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world.” The famous eponymous SBC was designed to be affordable and champion programming in schools, hoping to repeat the home computer boom of the 1980s. Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for the engineering and trading operations of the foundation."
After all that, they uploaded it to the archive as an image rather than as a font or vector file!?

It's actually surprising that for all Googles talents, they can't tell that site X is just cloning StackExchange or that official documentation should probably rank higher than some random site. Either they can't or they don't care.
Yes.

We already have 4 other Corona Viril endemic in the human population. They probably all started out super deadly in a pandemic. This one will be endemic soon, too (1-2 years I assume).
> 100k is close to middle class

If a large minority of it is derived from capital directly or the majority of it is derived from the worker’s labor applied to their own capital.

If it is derived from wage labor and is the worker’s entire income, its just relatively high-income working class, and isn’t “close to” middle class.
