> It's not clear where you'd just "find 10% more people"

As another commenter noted, maybe from all those people that are no longer making enough to make ends meet. Now you have someone working two jobs, maybe at like 16-24 hours each, and if one of those needs more hours, well, now you're working more than 40 hours a week overall but less than 32 per job and not getting overtime for any of it.

I could easily see something like this being one of those well intentioned policies with major negative outcomes.

> 36/40 = 90%,

My mistake, I missed where you defined it as just dropping four hours off, and "shorter work week" sounds like cutting a day off to me, so I assumed the wrong thing.

Even so, 10% is not an amount a lot of people can sustain. You posit that there's a lot more people getting 30-35 hours, but I'm not so sure of that, so would definitely want to see some numbers before endorsing anything like this. Additionally, I think a lot of people that are working less hours are doing so because in some cases employers can get around some laws about sick time and paid time off if employees aren't "full time".

The bottom line is that if people have more money, they can choose to work less. Just make sure people are paid more and they'll choose to work less if that's actually important to them, and they'll seek out jobs that offer things they care about (such as less work hours) if that's important to them. Reducing the expected working hours is nice, but I doubt most the people that would actually need it (those working demanding or demeaning jobs) would trade that for less pay given the realities. The only people that can really make use of that are the middle and upper class, and they can already choose to prioritize that and look for work that allows it given their financial stability.
A still working Apple II that was forgotten in a bunker.
Yes definitely. I've used this one [1] multiple times because it is a short distance from Chicago's central business district and they are responsive and highly competent for just a small amount of money. I think that when you look at public university systems in the USA, you'll see that they already have an internal need to offer test proctoring because they have students temporarily at one campus location but enrolled at a different one. Offering the service to the outside public is not much extra effort on their part.

Your comment and the parent comment smell like a company utilizing the hiring process to abuse potential candidates to actually solve the company's problems without paying them.

> people without scientific training weighing in on scientific questions

Tell Faraday.

What is the end goal? What you're describing carries a non-zero risk but provides zero benefit. To repeat: science by its nature doesn't need anyone to ensure the scales are tipped in its favor. They're welded into that position.

> Most people on this forum would have no problem mocking someone who believed their cell phone worked by magic

Should they? If you're doing something for sport, then be honest about it. Don't couch it in pro-science terms when actual belief goes the other way just because circumstances mean you can get by without having to show your work this time.

> Somehow the logic is different when the topic is vaccines.

This is pretty blatantly dipping a toe into waters of both strawmanning and ad hominem. Stop trying to read between the lines. It's not helping you get the right answer here. (I'm vaccinated. Cast your insults and aspersions somewhere else.)
It seems people are mad you took reasonable precautions.
> the vaccines either aren't working or are working for a very short duration of time

Citation needed. That's an extraordinary statement. The vaccines (at least the ones we have in the US) have very high efficacy and are probably responsible for hundreds of thousands of lives saved to date.

For example, Pfizer-BioNTech is 90-95%: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different...

I don't entirely disagree with you, but:

> and it has nothing to do with labor demand.

If not having an employee costs you $30/hour in revenue-- your desire to avoid a bidding war won't prevent you from making an offer at $22/hr if it's necessary to fill the slot.

It has everything to do with labor demand (and supply). Collusion (formal or informal) between loosely coupled, adversarial entities breaks down under pressure.
Will pass on the request.
True, but in the US, you have to commit illegal acts to do it (like paying under the table), putting the employer at risk and lowering the chance that it happens.

If there were no minimum wage, you could put the person on payroll and be completely legal in your actions, allowing the employer to exploit unknowledgeable employees.

I have a similar-ish setup in the form of the ClusterHAT on a Pi 4 with 4x Pi Zero W connected to it. It gives me 4 individual Pi Zero machines (each with wireless) connected over the USB-Ethernet gadget interface to the Pi 4 which you can then bridge the interfaces as you need.

My purpose was to have a SFF of individual wireless clients that I could control over SSH to do some network testing. Added benefit, the whole thing can be powered from a single PSU into the Pi 4.

To get it out of the way, I’m fully vaxxed and I don’t think it should be mandated.

No people aren’t being rounded up and stuck with needles against their will. Getting fired from a job is a big deal. Not being able to pay bills or buy food or care for a family, no health insurance, that’s a big deal. Surely you’re bright enough to distinguish between “forced full stop” or “forced and in extremely dire financial straits.”

What if I told you there was a new federal mandate that requires you to get a tattoo of my choosing on your forehead. If you don’t, you lose your job.

Doesn’t seem reasonable.

They can't just stay their current size and keeping their offering more or less undisturbed, to eventually die off. They keep growing and growing and finding reasons for doing so, making a once good product become corrupted as the mandate to change outpaces the authenticate need to

I've heard of something similar.

One of the employee suggested that he didn't need the cert. This really didn't sit well with management. Then he explained why: his previous job was on the team building said cloud product they decided to use. That was the reason he got hired.

Useless to say he didn't work there long.

I believe Oskar is bit packing the data into the string, somewhere in his twitter feed he explains it.

Edit:
Found it:
https://twitter.com/OskSta/status/1198958801363308544

He designed it so you can fit a saved town in a tweet.

"It's my own very context specific implementation. I know how many bits I need for each bit of data, so I just store it all in a big bit array. I then convert that bit array to my own custom base 64 format, based on 64 web safe characters."

Worth reading the whole thread, as will all of Oskars twitter feed its super interesting.

I too felt this way, until two weeks ago, when a little unexpected rain wrecked supply lines and transportation networks across British Columbia.

The time it took to get them barely-functioning, and the time that it's going to take to get them fully restored is concerning. I believe that we may be able to adapt to long-term, slow-moving catastrophes, that we can all see coming, and have all agreed are important to deal with.

Unfortunately, the interests of the people who will be doing the work/paying for people to do the work rarely align in that direction - or stay aligned for the years and decades that it takes to get these solutions built out.
