i remember a post on reddit's sysadmin subreddit a while back of a disillusioned help desk tech asking about unions. the majority response was basically this -- even in help desk, your value is high enough that you can pretty easily find equivalent or better work fast by putting yourself out there. tech corps need the workers more than the workers need tech
What actually happens - you get communism and capitalism and both are equally evil when applied 100%. But you can get make them less concentrated, add less or more regulation and get to some sane compromies. You end up with some kind of social welfare state with mostly free market economy. At that point it doesn't matter where you started off, it's just branding.
Emergency use does not mean tests weren't carried out. It just means the entire process was given the highest priority at every step of the chain.

There were quite a few other companies that submitted vaccines for review that were denied, but nobody seems to want to talk about them.

Studies weren't "cut short". They're still ongoing. Dozens of independent auditors checking the efficacy, safety, and side effects of the vaccines constantly with incoming medical information.

It's naive and misinformed to think we're just sticking shit into our arms without understanding it.

This seems so un-user-friendly that I can hardly believe it is intended! But thank you for the workaround.
> Many people can't drive (minors, elderly, handicapped, health issues, etc.), and we still shade a ton of money on car infrastructure.

Most of those who can't drive also couldn't get very far on a bike on their own. They can, however, ride in a car (or bus) driven by someone else, making use of that same infrastructure. Bikes are not typically designed to carry passengers.
That's a really good point. It seems like most English consonants have roughly one way to pronounce them, particular as a first letter in a word as in an acronym. I guess I should've looked for acronyms built on Ch, Ph, Sh, Th, Wh, Ph, hard or soft C's, and of course hard or soft G's (ginger, gypsy).

Here's a soft G word making a hard G acronym, and a hard G word making a soft G acronyn:

GAD - Generalized Anxiety Disorder
GEMA - Gas and Electric Markets Authority

Some other non-G examples:

PAL - Phase Alternating Line
PAWS - Phased Array Warning System
SWF - ShockWave Flash

They're much harder to find though.
Maybe arresting the director is a good first step? (Alas, it is not, because the conflict seems to be mostly about leaking info about the security state operations to media, not doing any such operations that they shouldn't have.)
> In areas with painted cycle lanes, the drivers understand that in this situation they are supposed to watch for cyclists, give way and then cross into the "right turn only" lane on the cyclists' right, instead of fuming and raging because a cyclist dared to follow the signage.

While this works to some extent when a right turn only lane is present, this actually sets the cyclist up for a right hook when the right most travel lane can be used to proceed straight through the intersection or turn right. In that case, the bike lane is still painted to the right and leads to the situation where a motorist making a right turn is to the left of cyclist traffic going straight through the intersection.

> [I]n the US I think [that painted lines are] still useful as a way to teach drivers how to handle having cyclists on the road.

The problem in the US is that they paint lines in such a way that there's insufficient lateral space between the cyclist and motor vehicles. Most US states have passed laws requiring motorists to leave at least 3 feet between their vehicle and a cyclist.

In the case where a general purpose lane is 10 feet wide and the adjacent bike lane is 4 feet wide, you end up with a siutation where it's not possible to leave 3 feet of distance between the motor vehicle an and the cyclist. A typical larger vehicle is about 7.5 feet wide from mirror to mirror. Centered in a 10 foot wide lane, they have 1.25 feet on each side.

A cyclist is about 2.5 feet wide. 2.5 feet centered in a 4 foot wide bike lane leaves 0.75 feet on each side.

0.75 feet and 1.25 feet add up to 2 feet, which means that the distance with both the motorist and cyclist centered in the lane they're in is not sufficient. This doesn't account for moving side to side within the lane for either the motorist or cyclist.

My three union jobs were service worker jobs; what are you trying to imply here?
A Semblance of Understanding
Your latter point doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I write and maintain open source software because I enjoy seeing people use it. For me, not giving a shit about it means not working on it at all. It seems like it's as easy as keeping "no FITNESS for a PARTICULAR PURPOSE" as a mental mantra but in reality that just doesn't work for me. And I bet I'm not so different from most foss maintainers.
High maintenance? More like self respecting.

Are there any large companies, that stayed good?

Yes. However, the complication is that different people have differing ideas of what constitutes "good."

The billion-dollar healthcare company I work for does stupid things sometimes, but overall I still quantify it as "good" because I see that the number of good things it does outnumbers the number of "bad" things it does by about 10,000:1. But if you're that one person, then you might consider it a "bad" company because you don't see the other 10,000 people who ended up with good things happening.

Basically, the bike always has right of way and cyclist act like it as well, cyclist don't slow down and assume the any cars will stop, on the other hand, car drivers are drilled to always be on the look out for cyclists and give them all the space required, you get drilled on this and don't get a license untill you fully understand how to keep cyclists safe, that in practise means you need about 40 hours of driving lessons before you have any change of getting a driver's license. On the liabity side of things, the law basically assumes the driver of the car (more generally a motorised vehicle) is always at fault. Aside from some extremely reckless behaviour bordering on intentially throwing yourself in front of a car, any damages to your own vehicle as well as the cyclist you hit, is coming out of the motorists insurance.
They're still going to get 7% for $125k. The $375k extra will convert on the same terms of the next financing.
Half the population are conservatives at least, which is what I mean regards to reverting to the mean in a geographic area. Plenty of people are not libertarians but just base level, Fox news repeating (eg. Hillarycare), auth-right quadrant conservative and are ashamed of the moniker.
See, no one is suing you when you don't help people or don't maintain your work. They simply say bad things about you and your work, the exact opposite of the "payment" your receive. It's practically a chargeback.
> most advanced AI is still dumb as fuck compared to a 3yo kid

Or even a squirrel, take robotics for example or hell even an AI simulated animal, the AI don't even come close in it's ability to problem solve and react to novel situations. A squirrel powered by a few acorns is able to achieve things that even our most powerful supercomputers consuming 8.2 megawatts could never do.

Problem is we are currently limited by our computer architecture, brains operate in a wildly different way, for one it's continuous/non discrete collection of neurons that in themselves are quite complex.

IMO true AI will need to closer to a network of analog computing parts.
The Table 2 Fallacy (2013)
What really needs to happen is the unionization of the second class they employ. These people do literally the same jobs as the people they used to sit next to. Sit through the same "OMG aren't we so great at changing the world!" team meetings, put in the same insane hours (my partner was limited to 40 hours a week, yet they are all working over time to keep up appearances and hope they get actually hired full time). She did not get paid for these hours, everyone just puts in the time so they can keep up with the people they are compared against, the full timers.

Yet once time for the team to celebrate comes, the door gets shut on them, as they are contingent workers. Showing them the same rewards would possibly make them seem like real employees worthy of praise. Hence, they sit alone in their empty open office, sometimes crying, hearing the cheers of their team in the next office as they slice that cake or watching them leave the office building to go to a wonderful day in the golden gate park.

Don't even get me started on having to hear the people doing identical work to them talk about buying homes in SF etc.

If these people banned together, they might gain some power.
I don't think we actually disagree: there's plenty of "real value" in RSS, real value that I extract both as a user (I use newsboat[1]) and a producer (I maintain an Atom feed for my blog).

The problem isn't that RSS isn't good or useful, it's that it doesn't fit into the incentive structures that we've bought into. An Internet in which RSS thrives is not one in which John Q. Programmer makes 250k a year at Facebook or Google.

It took me a second to work through. Basically, they just said they will always do some of their effective pro rata. So more weight on the cap table. Hopefully it isn't required, bc sometimes there isn't a lot of room, and their value goes down the further out you are. But for weaker companies, for helping their rounds kick off, can be good.

Rain does not make in-city cycling significantly more dangerous, and is definitely fine for inexperienced cyclists. But if people cycle regularly, they aren't inexperienced, anyway.

In areas with frequent rain, people are practiced in carrying waterproof overclothes and such. Sub-zero temperatures, snow and ice can be a much bigger problem, of course, but good maintenance resolves a lot of that, too, as it does for cars.

As noted by drakonka, you continue to argue the infeasibility of something that works well for many cities/countries, citing things that those with experience know aren't a big problem. Sure, you can't just suddenly start cycling when your life/city is built around driving tens of miles, but a city/country can work towards biking in a way that has worked well around the world.

I assume this is a typo for exonerated?
I did almost all the same upgrades to my T430 around 2014, with small variations (BIOS reflash with hardware programmer instead of software workaround for wifi upgrade, as at that point no workarounds existed). I used it for more than 2 years, but I had to upgrade because I needed more RAM. It still lives with a friend. It was surprising how well the CPU behaved, especially since the thermal solution was not really created to handle 45W CPUs (there were no T430 laptops with quad core CPUs).
Except that a shit-ton of developers will code and test with one version of a dependency, and never, ever, ever update it. If the dependency has a catastrophic security hole, that security hole will be pretty much permanent.

And what happens if project A pins projects B and C, which in turn pin DIFFERENT versions of project D? Is there any language or environment out there that can make that work?
Basically a contract that the investor will give you money now and be given equity in the next financing round in the future.

I wouldn't say that it's completely transparent, at least not when you use multiple clients (eg. a PC and a phone). I frequently get messages that some device cannot decrypt.
I hear your point but the quantity of files produced by initializing a new rails project is very large, larger than an equivalent node project with server and framework. These aren't transient build artifacts either, they will live in the repo and may occasionally need attention.
I would still fork child processes and use i.p.c. probably until there be something similar to channels, and often even then, because signal handling and forking in a multithreaded program is quite a hurdle.

Even in Rust, no one really knows at this point what is safe to do in a fork from a multithreaded program or in a signal handler in one. Signal handlers and forks are thus simply “unsafe” in Rust with “care must be taken”, but there is no real explanation either of what care, and Rust does not document or stabilize which of it's functions are async safe, as C does.
Why are you so rude?
I found it: set new draft creation to never.
Its a Simple Agreement to Future Equity. It's a fundraising instrument where the investor agrees to give the company money in exchange for some amount of equity to be decided at a future date. It's designed to make it easier for founders to get capital at the early stages without having to negotiate valuation.
If BTC-style price manipulation was the rule with gold, married couples would be melting their wedding rings.

You simply cannot rely on bidding for price discovery when a significant portion (>50%) of the trading volume in cryptocurrencies appear to be wash trades, and with nothing else to tether it to, the prices keep bouncing around.

It seems every individual has their own process of understanding power, and cynicism is a middle stage. It comes after the beginning stage, the one we learn as kids, that is idealized and fair. This stage is the most important because it defines how things should be. Then, when you start out in the real world, you find out how things really are, and its painful, and that's the value of cynicism: it prevents the pain of disenchantment by pre-disenchanting you about everything.

The third stage seems to be surprisingly rare, as most people either get stuck in stage 1, existing in a kind of shared delusion that all things are fine, despite the evidence that some aren't, or in stage 2, that all things are falling apart, despite evidence that some aren't.

Stage 3 reconciles the previous stages, first by zooming out and seeing how transient and precious life is, civilization is, and how in this perspective, power is itself rather silly. There have been great kingdoms, entire societies, that have arisen and died, even in our brief recorded history. Lowering the stakes like this lets us relax and remember: nothing is forever. No law lasts forever, almost everything we try is an experiment, and it may fail. Armed with a profound knowledge of the absurdity of our large-scale situation, now we can zoom in and do our judging, knowing properly how ignorant we are, how ignorant the actors are, the abuser and victim alike. And we can begin to see opportunities for change. Small scale stuff, firing that abusive person, or even lightweight activism where you change something about your behavior to change things, if only a little. You are not going to have the grand-slam insight that fixes everything, or anything. Such an insight doesn't exist - or maybe it can, but it cannot be transmitted without great care, which presupposes a society that supports transmitting delicate ideas, which is already a society that is functioning pretty well.

Essentially your comment is stage 3, because you remind the reader of the essential mutability of the system, and zoom out and show how its changed, and that there is every possibility of changing back to an earlier state where antitrust was actively enforced (read: successful antitrust enforcement gave political juice). If I could wish a thing into existence, it would be to engender a feeling of lightness to political discussion that comes from realizing this is all an experiment, nothing is written in stone, and we should feel free to try new things, knowing that they might not work, that real lives will be harmed when those experiments fail, but we also get good data about it for future decisions, so it comes out in the wash.
> And there is no denying there has be a reasonable cause to in the last four years.

Isn't this the same as saying that you don't think there should be fundamental rights for people you don't agree with?
It's not really standard but can definitely happen with smaller companies < 1000. They are less well organized and probably didn't get the role filled in time so are trying to speed ramp-up.

You can always say no or provide strict times where you can help and typically there aren't any hard feelings.

> Well fuck them. It's his code, he should be able to do with it whatever he wants.

He can do whatever he wants with his codes. It didn't means that private companies have to accept that due to liabilities. He is using an private company platform to publish his code which could make the company liable for him. By removing or suspending his account, the liability will be minimized and shift it to the developer. If the private company keep it in their system and widely available for distribution, other companies that got hit by this malicious code could have a standing to sue the hosting private company for allowing the code to be published. Imagine thousand companies have a lawsuit against the hosting company. So the hosting private company don't want to be liable for this and shutting off the account is their best interest to keep the liability off on them.
This makes it much easier to get to profitability[0] and never raise again after YC (especially as a SaaS). I wonder how this will impact the decision to raise money after YC.

> Here's a thing about NFTs that I've seen a lot crypto evangelists and haters miss, and a sentiment that I think will grow once the novelty dies out: The "art" is irrelevant. It's no more than a thumbnail or a poster marketing it's utility, and that's exactly the actual important part - what I can do with it. Can I use it as an in-game item? <snip>

Thinking of it in terms of utility vs ownership is useful because ownership is a social/regulatory concept.

The problem with utility is that that utility is still bound to the seller/market. Can I use it as a decoration in my Meta VR home if it was bought outside Meta's marketplace? Does the utility actually transfer with sale?

As such, it looks like a purchase receipt of a DRM-protected good in a single centralized ecosystem, regardless if it that receipt is represented in a third party or decentralized system.
"I would posit that's not possible, meaning that there is no benefit derived from riding closer to the edge of the road. "

When you overtake a cyclist driving in the middle of the road, you have a longer time on the other side of the road while overtaking, than if the cyclist drives on the right. So that can mean, a driver will sometimes do a more dangerous overtaking and then in fact, endanger you, when he quickly has to change lanes again to abort the overtaking.
I hope that this can be turned into a real consumer product and not wither like the ultra expensive Intel Optane.
I love the fact that Ruby is no longer cool anymore and has finally matured enough that one can build a stable system on top of it. It now has been battle tested and powers some of the biggest platforms on the web.

I couldn't be happier with the direction that Ruby 3.0 and Rails 7.0 are taking at the moment. We have businesses to run and Ruby allows just for that. It's boring, it's stable and will deliver results.

I wouldn't pick it to build the next Discord though.. One must use the right tool for the job.
Re: Moxie on Web3 - Mike Hearn
Knuth is obviously doing it wrong because his idea of "literate" programming involves chopping up the source code of a program at arbitrary line numbers, and assigning them macro identifiers.

What this lets him do is talk, in detail, about those fragments of a program in the academic paper that the program is about, with the commentary interspersed among those fragments.

Then the paper can present how those fragments are combined together to form the next unit, and so on.

It's a complete non-starter for production code; anything written by two or more programmers whose goal isn't to have a working system documented in detail by an academic paper from whose markup source code it pops out as a side effect.
Do they need to be to poke a significant hole in your argument? They colluded with basically all of the largest high paying employers in the SV ecosystem.

That is absolutely going to have a massive systematic effect on compensation.
So the banks are the miners, absorbing risk for a time.
I agree that this approach is much better for stability. The trade off is that a lot of systems will end up missing their needed security updates. Very few people are consciously balancing their type I and type II errors when considering upgrade strategies.
I don't understand at all. I know nothing about startups - so is it an additional 7% that YC owns for every additional 125k, so 28% for 500k? Disclosure - I did not watch the SAFE video.
"This is fine" is not the same thing as "X is not the solution to this."

Example better solution: UBI, so that those workers can tell the boss where to stick it without starving to death, and the company then has to offer better working conditions in order to convince anyone to show up.
