The existing government mandates - aka "laws" - exist as a compromise. They prohibit a company like Amazon from engaging in certain practices, and in exchange, some union practices are prohibited.

I'm fine with dismantling all laws limiting corporate interactions SO LONG AS all laws limiting unions are similarly lifted.

Get rid of Taft-Hartley, and bring back "jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns." (quoting Wikipedia).

Commonwealth v. Hunt shows unions don't require enabling laws. The economic power of the Boston Journeymen Bootmaker's Society came from the ability to quit - collectively.

> these tactics by Amazon are extremely benign.

I'll counter when a decidedly not benign - the Ludlow massacre, where companies worked with the government to attack striking coal workers, including firing MACHINE GUNS at them and their families.

That's literally the origin of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.

The law that you seem so much against.

> blatant violations of its contract liberty

The Wikipedia entry for the NLRA specifically points out how it's meant to support contract liberty.

] Under section 1 (29 U.S.C. § 151) of the Act, the key principles and policy findings on which the Act was based are explained. The Act aims to correct the "inequality of bargaining power between employees who, according to the Act's proponents, do not possess full freedom of association or actual liberty of contract and employers who are organized in the corporate or other forms of ownership association".
Reporting from my MacBook Air M1, there's actually not enough thickness. The (male) plug itself is as thick as the side of the laptop. Considering the (female) socket's size & surrounding machinery, the Air needs to be at least 20% thicker to accommodate a USB-A port.
Now I'm scared of two things.
1) Netflix will start using product-placement in their original shows to boost revenue.
2) They're already doing this and I just haven't noticed.
Isn't that per-layer?
> Tangentially, as the price of power declines as the grid gets cleaner due to renewables, electric vehicles become even cheaper to drive per mile.

It will get cleaner, but will it be cheaper? Renewables need to be ramped up, and older power plants are getting retired (nuclear for instance). Massive amounts of storage - for which there is no existing solution at the scale required - will have to be designed and built, which will probably take years, if not a decade, and by then some first gen solar and wind will need replacing due to old age/inefficiecy.

It's a decent bet that energy will be cheaper than the prices now due to the war, but compared to the "normal" a few months ago? We'll have to see but IMHO it's far from a given.
FWIW, the Guild (the group behind a lot of the more popular GraphQL libraries) has recently take stewardship of this package, and it looks like there are already a few recent PRs merged into the repo.

Lack of updates also isn't necessarily an indicator of disuse. It currently has close to 5 million weekly downlaods, roughly 1/5th of express which is probably the most popular library for building APIs in node.
achow@ not sure why you think it's not thought through?

You're correct it is a content business, they just spent 17 billion on new content, far more than any other streaming provider (and have the subscribers to support it). Specifically in India, with Indian creators, and it worked. It's in their book "No Rules Rules".

> Similarly first time I see a youtube ad, I'll cancel my youtube premium subscription.

Youtube has ads for the lower tiers, yet you’re still subscribed.

This article is explicitly not arguing that Netflix should show ads to existing subscribers like yourself.
They have got something worth protecting though. It’s A really liveable city and the parks are a part of that. Adelaide city centre is plenty big enough for retail, business and entertainment already and it’s still a walkable size rather than too sprawling. The parkland nearby the city centre gives a really nice vibe to the city and it suits it. As you’re flying into Adelaide in there’s a strong sense of flying into somewhere rural - it’s more than the article’s point about the lights scattered through residential areas. The geography is quite flat, the buildings very low but mostly it’s the vast openness beyond Adelaide.
These are great if you just have a laptop. I use the Dell S2719DC and I love being able to just get everything by plugging in one cable. However, I switch between a laptop and desktop, so I wound up buying a separate USB switch for peripherals, and it gets kinda confusing:

KB/mouse -> switch -> desktop/monitor

Monitor <-> laptop (usb-c)

Desktop -> monitor (HDMI)

The downsides are that it only supports 45W charging, and you can't really use dual monitors.

Ideally I could use a KVM so everything is switched in one device. But USB switching is cheap and reliable (my switch cost $25 and has been rock solid), whereas the cheapest KVM I could find to do this cost $150, doesn't support 144hz, is stuck on hdmi 2.0, etc.
If you're interested in maximum freedom of choice, didn't people clearly choose that unions are supported, in large enough numbers to get it written into lawbooks? Or are businesses somehow more free than people, so laws don't apply to them?
Sam Bankman-Fried: FTX’s Crypto Billionaire Who Wants to Give His Fortune Away
Yep, my last PC developed a defect in one of the RAM modules. Finding it using memtest86 was trivial; easier than figuring out exactly how to tell Windows what to do about it...

Of course it did take a little bit of a hunch to go from "the game I'm playing crashes at this point" to "maybe my RAM is defective". I suppose ECC would help spot this.
Putting it another way : physical models are not Truth.
> any finite neural net is either constant or linear outside the training sample

Hence why the structure of our bodies has to include the capacity for imagination. Our brain structure does not record everything that has happened. It permits is to imagine an infinite number of things which might happen.

We do not come to understand the world by having a brain-structure isomorphic to world structure -- this is none-sense for, at least, the above reason. But also, there really isnt anything like "world structure" to be isomorphic to. Ie., brains arent HDDs.

They are, at least, simulators. I dont think we'll find anything in the brain like "leaves are green" because that is just a generated public representation of a latent-simulating-thought. There isnt much to be learned about the world from these, they only make sense to us.

That all the text of human history has associations between words is the statistical coincidence that modern NLP uses for its smoke-and-mirrors. As a theory of language it's madness.
Because then they will get overtaken. The growth slowdown will turn into a growth stop and after that they will begin to shrink.
I agree with many of the listed ones. Here are a couple I think I can add:

1. Knowing keyboard shortcuts. The most powerful one is to flip between screens on my computer (Alt+Tab for Windows, CMD+Tab for Mac).

2. Having a pipeline for AutoML such as Tpot in Python (http://epistasislab.github.io/tpot/) where it will automatically go through a bunch of ML algorithms and tell you which one did the best on your data.

> And frankly, I know all of them, I'm a history buff.

Then your perspective would be appreciated with facts, not questions. Though I agree that often the questions are more interesting :)

I'm interested in dispelling the notion that war spurs innovation, even though I hold this view I'd love any excuse to demonstrate that we don't "need" wars. What were the specific technologies that led to the change in washing machines from 1990 to 1995? How does that compare to a war-period of development? What drove Intel to improve the CPUs in 1990, as compared to 1980? How does that compare to the previous decade?

Thank you. I'm not quite a "history buff" but the implications of history are of course of interest.
Have been remote for quite a few years, even before the pandemic.

The things I hate are: Less clear border between work and private time. Not a lot of social interactions. No possibility to go for lunch or have Friday drinks with colleagues. No face to face one on one meetings (Zoom meetings work, but it's not the same). It can be boring and hard to focus. Meetings are bad, video calls are worse.

But overall I very much like remote working. Mainly because it's much more flexible, you can schedule work around life. Prepare a healthy lunch. Do some chores during the day. Blast music. Work from bed if you feel like shit some days. Go to the gym in between work. No forced distractions (you can mute notifications). Save a lot of time on commuting. Work anywhere in the world for a company anywhere in the world. Have company meetups, travel to interesting places (at least pre pandemic that was a thing).
I was in NYC a year ago and as I was walking down the subway stairs, I saw a woman - black, maybe 60 years old - struggling to get up the stairs with what looked like a heavy bag. I moved out of the way, then said, "nah," went back, asked her if she needed help, she said, "you're the only one who asked, thank you," and carried the bag upstairs. It was much lighter than expected, maybe 10 pounds. And I went on my way.
To be fair, it's not their fault that the energies required for testing are way outside our reach.

Unless we are talking about Assembly, all languages have runtimes.

It‘s like Amazon went all in making their company image as bad as it gets.

I can‘t believe this keeps happening accidentally. The conclusion is, they only want to attract people who do not care about all of this. All cards on the table. Yes, we are horrible, if you are fine with that, join us!
I found a random USB-c monitor to be a decent hub (I used a cheap Lenovo, was great). No ethernet cable, however wifi is usually good enough, if not faster.

If it needs to be Thunderbolt and money is no object, there is the Apple Studio Display with 3 USB-C ports.
That is really dystopian stuff. Instead of electing goverment that would split monopoly, we will blame low level employees for not "resisting". Be quiet and toe the party line!!
Printers and USB MIDI controllers, I'd say.
Indeed, all these test are not of empirical adequacy which really evidences the point. The whole field is in this insular pseudoscientific mould of "its true if it passes an automated test to x%".

A theory with empirical adequecy would require you to do some actual research into language use in humans; all of its features; how it works; various theories of its mechanisms etc. And after a comprehensive, experimental and detailed theoretical work -- show that NLP models even *any* of it.

Ie., that any NLP model is a model of language.

All you do above is design your own win condition, and say you've won. This precludes actually knowing anything about how language works, and is profoundly pseudoscientific. If you set-up tests for toys, and they pass -- good, you've made a nice toy.

You may only claim is models some target after actually doing some science.

Not impressed, it can deduct gender, age and accent (with biases) but calling the portrait 'accurate' is clickbait.
All the use-cases we are told about (like police sketch) are totally irrealstic. The portraits look "realistic" but they do not look like the model . They look like a different person with the same ethnicity, similar age and gender. With biases, again...
As the MDM manager for my family, I must whole-heartedly disagree.

One common but sophisticated attack involves getting your victims to install your own MDM certificate on their machines, because you've convinced them that they're getting some sort of free lunch. After they install your MDM certificate, you own their machines, and you can do anything with them that you want -- make them into your own private bot army to rope in more victims, or whatever.

But if the devices in question already have an MDM certificate installed, that prevents this kind of attack.

Running my own MDM profile also means that I can ensure that my wife's devices are always up to date, because I can enforce this at the MDM level. And that's an important issue for her employer, since her law firm uses BYOD. So, I can use my MDM profile to ensure that all their requirements are met and enforced by my own MDM.
What missing functionality?

When chips die, that's not something the standard could affect.

When a USB to Ethernet converter happens to be on the same circuit board as an actual hub, the USB standard isn't responsible for the Ethernet part.

The screen connections are pretty much just passthrough. That's the narrowest you can get.

And it doesn't sound like the USB ports on the hubs had any problems.

If you split things up by standard, you'd have a USB hub that always works, with a flaky ethernet converter plugged in one port and a flaky HDMI converter plugged in another port.

A pedo-criminal hacker's wet dream. If one manages to compromise accounts of some teachers, or worse, some school admin accounts, or is an insider at the school or GoGuardian itself...

And before anybody says, that things like these only happen in the movies, or bad crime TV shows... they do happen in real life as well. I remember a case here in Germany, where somebody had managed to install RATs on ~150 school-age girls' laptops, tho using some spear-hunting, and when he was raided, police found a large collection of videos he had recorded with the girls' webcams[0].

That there are sexually-motivated hacks should be clear to the wider public at least since the so called Fappening.

As for insiders, NSA staff spied on ex-partners, love interests and spouses[1], to a degree where they internally coined the term "LOVEINT" for it. If the paranoid NSA cannot "manage" their own people, then what chance would a GoGuardian or school have, I wonder.

> Most people here on HN are self-taught; it’s a skill a large number of motivated people can pick up.

1) Self-taught isn't that relevant - where you learn something isn't the most important thing
2) There IS a large ability component to software, as well as education and motivation
3) With the exception that we're in a funny moment where web frontend is simultaneously easy and hard; the concepts are easy, but the proliferation of frameworks and ways of doing things makes skills scarce (though relatively easy to pick up). Once this is resolved, the numbers will drop, as current frameworks will replaced (or enhanced) with something more productive, but harder to use

Prognostication over!
Hulu isn't ad free, it's less ads if you pay.
In a government elected by the people, the people can't absolve themselves of guilt when they're willingly voting for corrupt officials.

In governments without elected representatives, the responsibility lies entirely with the people enforcing the oppression against those weaker than them and protecting those above.

So yeah. People happily enforcing a massive wealth divide are responsible. They just don't want to accept personal responsibility because their pockets are fat. And I highly doubt they're out on the streets demanding reform to close the wealth gap and risk bringing their pay down so that those warehouse workers can live better.
This is exactly the reason why I dislike Microsoft. Their products and services are okay, and they are more than successful already without engaging in these shady scare tactics with their users.

The fact that they can't see that is very worrying because it indicates a higher probably that they do/will engage in unethical behaviors to reassure themselves.
Netlify deploys your site under such a URL when you hit "Preview", so you can check the modificatons before you deploy them on your live site. But these preview subdomains are seemingly not deletable (at least that's what I found a few years ago) so it feels like polluting the Internet, as well as leaving draft versions of your content permanently online.

Edit: To correct myself, the docs https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/deploy-previews/ do say the URLs of such preview sites are different (they begin with "deploy-preview"), so I'm not sure why the URL of this submission is like that.

Apple has never grokked the Enterprise market. Never.

At best, they understand the workgroup market reasonably well. Anything above the workgroup is an alien concept to them.

Apple is nothing but a massive collection of workgroups, and workgroups of workgroups.
That's a good solution, but it comes with its own set of compromises. I think the argument here really is:

'... where we came in. Having to buy an external dock is such a compromise! I want to have all the ports on my laptop!'

'But if all your peripherals are connected directly, you need to connect and disconnect them every time, so you have to compromise on mobility. Isn't this...'

And different variations on this same spiral.
