Because not all the benefits of membership are excludable. Unions that hold employers accountable to following labor laws and safety regulations benefit all employees, same with annual raises, removing abusive managers, better benefits, overtime pay [1], etc. etc. Some benefits are excludable for sure, a union isn't going to fight a non-members wrongful firing case.

[1] Some unions manage to get payroll benefits for just union workers but it's vanishingly rare because it just pushes workers to the union if they don't give it to everyone.
Unfortunately that changed in 2016-2020 with the McConnell doctrine. The latest appointment's only distinguishing qualifications were partisanship and youth.
Nice, kind of weird like a bullet journal. Very ergonomic.

For bonus points you should provide an LSP server that lints and syntax checks your xit! files.

Why? Extracting data from notes is really useful. Even if it’s just to reformat them. To extract data they must first be parsed, and to be parsed they must be free of errors.
This is a partisan topic. The reason why this has happened is an old law that has been repurposed by the police to pursue these claims. In Scotland, which has a different govt to the UK on this issue, the hate speech laws are even more stringent (and the police even more aggressive in pursuing crimes on Twitter).

This is always going to be a controversial topic with too sides. That isn't apparent in the US because there are such strong protections on freedom. But that doesn't change the fact that there are some people who believe they should be removed: those people exist in every society, they are a majority in the place where this occurred, and they are a majority in many other countries.

Saying that someone is fanning the flames when they say they support freedom misunderstands the topic totally. There are people who believe free speech is weak and decadent, the First Minister of Scotland is a lawyer...these people are not crazies, they are people in govt today. And there aren't two sides to freedom, you are either for or against, there is no middle ground (I live in Scotland, the primary argument of people who want to supress freedom was your argument, word for word...my freedom is gone now).

I was looking for something like this ! Thanks for the project
The piece I've been missing in this whole debate: why isn't the existing RNG simply frozen in its current bug-exact-behavior state and a new /dev/sane_random created?

Stuff that depends on the existing bugs in order to function can keep functioning. Everything else can move to something sane.

Obviously I'm missing something here.
Yeah, he's been real oppressed. He gets to impose his "non-approved" views on over 300 million people with no accountability.

Give me a break.
Looks like the US government "bargained" for me there, without the need for a union.
If you compare UK with China then what is next, North Korea? What is the point of mentioning China, is relevant to the discussion? Is China a model of great society and personal freedoms that other countries should follow?
Given the amount of user research that is done on the guidance that is added to the design system, I would imagine they've tested it with users and found it works.

Spine problems from weights are no joke here for sure - been there, done that. That's why I emphasised on the professional trainer in the original post. Technique and staying within your limits are really important to avoid any injuries.
This off topic, and it's amazing to see that we are now back to caring about what someone's relative does or think. Because that was the argument I kept hearing when a certain politician's son turned out to be selling his father's influence to foreign powers.
You don't even need sensors. STMicroelectronics has a TRNG block [1] that "passes" NIST SP 800-22 statistical analysis [2]. I used quotes because the 800-22 is an analysis test suite and the notion of passing is based on your hypothesis parameters, but the suite itself is considered the de-facto analysis mechanism.

I don't follow where the confusion is coming from?

A single successful effort of unionization at an Amazon facility is more than symbolic: It will encourage -- and serve as a blueprint for -- employees at other Amazon facilities to do the same. Moreover, it will motivate employees at other large companies to try. This has been brewing for a while.

It's possible we'll see a generational wave of unionization.
Well no, immediately after the 2014 coup the new US-approved government changed the Constitution to the 2004 version which allowed for a vote to join NATO[1]. Then Russia invaded Crimea as a result, since a country not in control of its borders would not be eligible to join NATO. Then in December 2014 Ukraine voted to abandon neutrality and begin the process of getting into NATO anyway.[2]

Trump's presidency definitely put a pause on this plan, but now that Biden is back on top the clock has started ticking again.

Ask HN: How do you prepare for system design interviews?
That so many tech workers don't understand that is legit scary. It's illogical and counterproductive, so it strongly suggests a parasitic mind virus has taken root.
There is no way a single line will ever continue the full meaning of any article anywhere to everyone. I think we need to move on from this expectation. In this case, it's abundantly clear that the author didn't really believe that Justice Thomas found the bug.
That could end badly because you don't want to have too many gatekeepers. I should be allowed to not be part of a group and work as I see fit. Unions are hit-or-miss. Bad ones have too much petty politics and corruption and that's why some people genuinely don't want to be in a union. Enforcing unions more strictly can make the good better but it can also make the bad worse.
This is definitely a Celtic Vs Rangers thing rather than an England/Scotland one.

Unfortunately we in Glasgow are still dealing with this nonsense in 2022.
Absolutely. The same dynamic played out with open source contributions and algorithmic problem solving over recent years. Anything that becomes a widely used well-known metric will eventually be gamed and devolve into leetcode maximizing by candidates. It shows the value of keeping hiring criteria somewhat opaque (which sucks in other ways).
Wouldn't we have always kept transcripts of the supreme court?
"Headlines abusing 'Considered Harmful' Considered Harmful"
Today I learned that the literal "giving up the ghost" translation of the German "den Geist aufgeben" is correct, even though it just screams "false friend". Huh!
Windows supports non-integer DPI scaling. The typical riposte is many (most?) third party Windows programs don't support it* BUT many third party MacOS didn't support 'Retina' scaling for some time after launch either (I have more faith in MacOS developer system to jump on board if Apple added support)
Yes, but then again you could just self-host an XMPP server on your Raspberry Pi.
Thanks for doing the issue sleuthing. This is an excruciatingly bad look.

You'd have thought with all the code-owner functionality that GL has, they would lock down the `/lib/gitlab/auth/` files to require a security engineer to give additional signoff on top of a normal review. It looks like anyone at Gitlab can approve changes to the auth code (except LDAP): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/C... which is terrifying if true.

I'm an American so I don't know that my opinion has much importance here, but as someone who has never really believed in "cancel culture" and who regularly rolls their eyes at the self victimization of politicians and celebrities who advocate for hate against marginalized groups then act like they are being bullied when those same groups call them on it, this is definitely eye opening.

> Why don't we have some politics but discuss it in thoughtful ways? Well, that's exactly what the HN guidelines call for, but it's insufficient to stop people from flaming each other when political conflicts activate the primitive brain. Under such conditions, we become tribal creatures, not intellectually curious ones. We can't be both at the same time.

> A community like HN deteriorates when new developments dilute or poison what it originally stood for. We don't want that to happen, so let's all get clear on what this site is for. What Hacker News is: a place for stories that gratify intellectual curiosity and civil, substantive comments. What it is not: a political, ideological, national, racial, or religious battlefield.
If there is a risk of misunderstanding, it's good to confirm that the attorney is saying what the Justice thinks they are saying, before writing a scathing opinion excoriating the bad argument.
>What a puff piece. I don't know if "TIME100 Most Influential Companies of 2022" is some sort of Forbes-stye pay to play or what, but FFS if you have an opportunity to talk to someone like Jassy, get to the heart of issues like antitrust, and dig deeper on claims

The issue is that CEOs don't have to talk to journalists. Therefore, for journalists to have access to interview the CEO, the CEO has to cooperate.

How do you get CEOs to say "yes" to your interview requests and not ignore you? By building a reputation of not running negative hit pieces and ambushing interviewees with uncomfortable questions. (Authors Walter Isaacson and Steven Levy would be an example of "friendly" interviewers. Kara Swisher would not.)

So applying that to this thread's article, we see that the author John Simons had interviews with CEOs Tim Cook (Apple), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), and Michael Dell (Dell): https://time.com/author/john-simons/

Those are all articles that paint the subjects in a good light. In other words, John Simons would have never been granted an interview with Andy Jassy at all if he was going to ask the tough questions you want him to ask. It's a "puff piece" due to the rules of engagement so-to-speak.

Beacon Biosignals | Multiple Engineering Positions | NYC, Boston, Remote | Full Time

Novel treatment development for neurological disease requires the collection of meaningful measurements of brain function acquired at an unprecedented scale. Unfortunately, brain monitoring is not currently accessible, interpretable or actionable. Beacon aims to fix that, and we'd like you to help.

We're building a platform for high-throughput brain data acquisition/analytics to enable the treatment of previously untreatable neurological and psychiatric diseases. Our team is composed of neuroscientists, clinicians, open-source enthusiasts, audio/DSP/compilers nerds, and generally easy-going (but dedicated!) folks. We believe that:

Successful product development requires rapid, early feedback from real-world users.

Feats of technical wizardry are only useful in combination with honest, frequent, and open communication.

A diverse team builds more robust systems and practices more meaningful science.

Interested in using Julia, TypeScript, React, Figma, K8s, Apache Arrow, PostgreSQL, and a few other fun tools to transform the lives of real patients?

Come hang out with us :) To apply, check out https://beacon.bio/careers.
Rennlist is huge in Porsche world.
The title is a bit misleading. Interesting experiment, but the "ecosystem" they are studying is very small and artificial, so "extinction" is very likely. In a real ecosystem, it is unclear that the gene variant the experimenters introduced in the plant would allow progeny to be successful.
>around why Russia might see it as a threat.

except that russia already has NATO neigbours.

Let us apply this logic to other countries. Maybe Poland or Lithuania are threatened but a Russian presence in Kaliningrad. So I guess maybe they too should stage a special operation to rid the area of Putin's Neo fascists?

The point is that this kind of thinking only considers Russia as an active agent, and everyone else is just some sort of NPC. It's extremely convenient that it aligns with Putin's propaganda of course

They also often provide legal help and various sorts of insurance. They'll also usually provide representation & assistance for workers who come into conflict with management, which can be super important when it comes to enforcing safety standards, contract terms (e.g. working conditions, rules around time-off requests), and even legal requirements.

The trouble with completely optional membership is that it introduces the good ol' Free Rider Problem, bane of many an attempt to make things better without forcing anyone to do anything.
Psychologists use factor analysis.
The shocker is not that first hand smoke also is, but that natural tobacco is not remotely as deadly as what is in nearly all national brand cigarettes, and the obvious reason these products are so deadly is that a large number of carcinogens are added to the product intentionally to make nicotine more addictive. I always thought it was a strange outcome of the 90's cigarette co. court settlements that this practice, I believe specifically detailed for the court, wasn't eliminated (and notably the unpaid remainder of the fines were eliminated entirely in the mid-naughts).
Which it's best not to say anything, and do the important work in clear, researched writing.

I had a boss who was an expensive consultant for unions.

He explained the reason unions in the US were shrinking is that they are too powerful. They control huge pension and healthcare portfolios and can completely control the relationship with employers, especially in closed shop situations.

Comparatively, European unions are much "weaker" - or maybe more accurately their purview is much smaller. They control smaller geographic regions, and in general, all of the heavy lifting for healthcare and pensions and worker rights is handled by the government. So the unions' focus is entirely on the collective bargaining piece. Also, unions tend to be more regulated - they can't carry so much bloat. All in all, everyone, companies included, have less reason to combat unions.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has experience with both and can gauge the accuracy.
Earlier I would agree, but more recently it's been a bit worse. The operator was very hard to understand and were less willing to do returns for issues. I was a bit concerned its getting worse, hope it's a one off experience.

On the actual flip side, there are plenty of people who properly maintain vintage sports cars instead of just talking about how much they know about them.

I get that door handles and lock cylinders are often made of easily-broken pot metal, but most owner communities have figured out solutions, or just live a little and recognize that a locksmith can easily get you into almost any vintage car if necessary.

The starting problems mean your engine is poorly tuned/maintained, battery issues are bad wiring or undiagnosed parasitic drain (or just buy a battery maintainer, dude), and thinking "my first gear syncro is worn or my shift linkage isn't properly adjusted, I should mash the shit out of it" are purely owner error / strongly counter-indicate "I know a ton about cars."
And the law is written by...
40years is exactly the problem. 12-20 is reasonable.
Because /dev/sane_random or sane_random(2) has better security properties than what we have now, and you want the whole gamut of Linux software to benefit from that; just as importantly, you don't want /dev/urandom and getrandom(2) to fall into disrepair as attention shifts to the new interface, for the same reason that you care very much about UAF vulnerabilities in crappy old kernel facilities most people don't build new stuff on anymore.

Also, just, it seems unlikely that the kernel project is going to agree to run two entire unrelated CSPRNG subsystems at the same time! The current LRNG is kind of an incoherent mess root and branch; it's not just a matter of slapping a better character device and system call on top of it.
