Ethical filters? They're probably less likely than you think. There's a not-uncommon idea that the sole ethical obligation of a business is to make money for its shareholders, and this soulless scumbag seems to be thinking that way.

This guy's professional mistake probably just saying the quiet part loud, not so much thinking what he did or acting on that strategy.

In my area, I see crows all the time, sitting on power lines and messing with posters on the street and so on. These are hooded crows and easy to distinguish from ravens. I see ravens as well, but not quite as often - though one of my local grocery stores has a small flock (murder!) of ravens that likes to forage in the parking lot. And to be fair, I live in a decently sized city of around 180,000.

Think the premise is that people who work there don’t have many alternative options other than continuing to work for them. In addition, greater financial pressures presumably contributes to forcing them to remain employed where they already are.

These are not employees who get paid time off and can take days off to go looking for other jobs/interview.

Meaning any time they take to find another job might be eating into their finances even more, and really be more of the same (e.g., another restaurant).

I think it was 50% underestimating the ferocity of the Ukrainian defense and 50% overestimating the ability of Russia to fight a modern conflict. Combined with the rapid influx of modern anti tank missiles, electronic warfare and UAVs prior to the invasion, there were some pretty dramatic changes to Ukraines capabilities to defend itself which Russia has just not responded to very well to.

The perception of Russias performance from the rest of the world has been set back decades and will likely take a generation to recover from (if ever). The only thing that keeps the world community from laughing them out of the room is they have a large strategic nuclear arsenal and all it takes is a single launch of those weapons to change the world forever.
> the performance is worse. I point out the example of a small spreadsheet. Open it in Google sheets, and you are using 1/2 gigs+ in ram plus heavy cpu. Open it in a desktop app maybe you will use 20 to 30 mb of ram, and low cpu usage.

Performance, measured in human units--e.g. time to load, refresh, et cetera--is fine. That's what ultimately matters. The customers are the humans. Not the machines.
The core idea is the more desperate people are, the lower you can push their wages.

Same reason exploitive employers oppose increasing the minimum wage, single payer, etc. Keeping people wretched means a steady supply of new bodies if the ones you're employing start thinking they can negotiate.

I know that that some issues are fixed in Airflow 2, they have made a large improvement with that release. But not all issues is resolved with this one.

The performance issue is still here, just launch Airflow and submit thousand dagruns with simple python sleep(1) and you will hit the cpu bound very quickly with a total time that will have a large duration. Airflow is not designed for a lot of short duration tasks. When using event driving data flow, it's really complicated to managed.

Imagine a flow that will be triggered for each store for example (thousand of store, with 10+ tasks for each one), Airflow will not be able to manage this kind of workflow quickly (and it's not its goals). Airflow was clearly defined to handle small (hundreds tasks) for a long time.

For the XCOM part, Airflow store this in database, so you can't store data into this, you will need to store a small data (database is not here to store big files). In Kestra, we have a provide a storage that allow storing large data (Go, To, ...) between tasks natively with the pain on multiple node clusters.

Exactly. He is not the only person thinking this; he was just the only one who put his thoughts on paper. I remember when American capitalism was about succeeding by making other people successful. This kind of business - succeeding by sucking the blood out of your employees - should never be tolerated.
At least he was being honest.

I think that many corporate executives have thoughts along these lines: they want employees to be so desperate that they'll accept low wages and bad working conditions. That is, of course, why they tend to campaign against e.g. minimum wages, food stamps, and reforms that would make it easier to unionize.

The only difference is that other execs have the good sense not to put such thoughts in writing.

> We're highly-skilled workers, and more of the blue-collar kind.

While it’s a bit of a problem that sometime during the last century a skilled profession got equated with a research one (I remember hearing somewhere that a commercial pilot’s education costs about as much as a tenured professor’s, and it seems plausible to me), there’s also the fact that the people you call “workers” are more distanced from research than they used to be; my impression is that this is even stronger among engineers than it is among medical professionals, but I can hardly claim any deep knowledge here.

MIT is originally an engineering college, so is the École polytechnique, and the École normale is a school for bureaucrats. Cauchy’s seminal work on wave propagation was presented at the French academy, had an epigraph from Virgil (“how many waves / come rolling shoreward from the Ionian sea”), and was signed by “Mr. Augustin-Louis Cauchy, road and bridge engineer” (this being the title the Polytechnique awarded him).

It used to be normal (AFAIK) for articles in medical journals to be essentially “hey, look what a weird thing happened with this recent patient of mine”, and some of seminal (if not the most high-brow) mathematics journals started as “hey, solve this problem I have recently done / want to know the answer to ... if you’re not chicken to try”.

What happened to all of this was, in a word, specialization—necessitated in part by the exhaustion of low-hanging fruit and raising of epistemic standards, so not entirely pointless, but I have to admit the comparative conservatism of medicine in this regard always looked more hopeful to me than the, at times, raging anti-intellectualism of engineers or the fiddly, illogical, invented world of law.

Certainly medicine is more engineering than science in that it is driven more by immediate goals than by the pursuit of truth alone (not the only possible definition of science, but a useful distinction when it comes to the feeling of the field, cf the 50s adage about physics and military physics being like music and military music). And I certainly won’t say you’re wrong. But I’m sad, and I can’t help feeling the drive for industrialization has done a disservice to us, scientists and craftsmen both.
have you run a major medical center? Acquired an x-ray machine? Operated it (and paid the staff) for 10 years?

if you haven't done that, I'm not sure you have the experience to say how much an x-ray should cost.
I mean, yes.

But also, these people do have a choice. They could work elsewhere, they could be more ethical. It is more that the system picks and rewards people like this.

What is often forgotten are many people who reject positions and situations and systems like this. And work elsewhere, for less money and less power, because they made active choice to not be like this.

> What HN does is less obtrusive

Agree. I often have to click around to figure out why the black bar has shown up.

This is interesting. Why does #BlackLivesMatter stoke heated division among HN users? And what does that say about the community that has been built here?

> and more relevant to the content of the site

I'm sure I don't agree. As the world moves further into automation, machine learning, machine analysis, and sousveillance, the interaction between technology and minorities in our communities is of vital importance to what we do. Questions of interaction between minority developers, customers, users, and community members and the majorities in those spaces impact on questions like hiring policy, behavior analysis and prediction (and the benefits and drawbacks of those tools), unequal treatment laid bare when the cameras are in the hands of the many and not the few (and the consequences of that knowledge), software that only works for a subset of users optimally because it was designed with only those users in mind, and other topics.

Software is growing to touch every part of human existence, and it's probably actually dangerous for hackers to traipse through life ignorant of that fact. We build things that impact people in a huge way, and if some groups are structurally invisible to the builders of those things, we really risk baking inequalities into the very engines of our society.
> Our food classifications should be based on method of eating, not by shape!

I agree Euclidean geometry isn’t the key to proper classification of sandwich systems.

Rather we need to look towards physics and emergence. Sandwich emergence is the law or phenomenon that which occurs at sandwich scales (in space or time) but not at ingredients scales, despite the fact that a sandwich system can be viewed as a very large ensemble of ingredient systems.

>> I wonder what the USA would look like if minimum wage was defined as; two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic.

> [imagined nonsense rules-layering]

That won't happen for two reasons:

1. It requires a massive conspiracy.

2. Any law like the GP describes would most likely be written to block off the exploits that it took you five minutes to think of. Exploits that are missed can be addressed in subsequent laws.

Practically, a minimum wage defined like the GP's would require a detailed census of actually-paid one bedroom apartment rents, which would be immune to your exploits.

The whole point of minimum wage is to ensure that employer wages to employees to exceed some level of poverty. If there is still flexibility within the wage amount, then the floor needs to be raised higher so the employer can't play within this gray space.

I love this book so much, thanks for reminding me of this part! One of my favorite quotes ever comes from Merlin in this book:

> The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.

>Nah. Speakers fees are a way to launder direct contributions

The comparison to money laundering is specious, IMHO.

In the US, at least, there is a database[0] of any value (including monetary and in-kind) exchange between doctors and medical companies.

As such, there is no "laundering" at all. All moneys and in-kind (hotel rooms, meals, swag, etc.) payments are documented and detailed.

Is there an incentive for doctors to favor a particular pharma or medical device company based on those payments? Perhaps. But since (again, at least in the US) such payments are documented and publicly available, it isn't some sort of secret set of payments designed to surreptitiously co-opt doctors.

Sure, some payments (my brother, a physician, received ~US$20,000 in 2020, mostly (~$13,000) from a single consulting fee.

Is my brother favoring the company who paid him $13,000 in 2020? Maybe. But if and only if their products/devices have clear beneficial effects over other products/devices.

What's more, that $20,000 (aside from the consulting fee, it was food/beverage and other in-kind stuff) is a small fraction of his annual income and doesn't make a significant difference in his quality of life.

As such, while there may certainly be doctors who are co-opted/corrupted by medical companies, assuming that the majority of doctors are swayed by such things is iffy at best.
