I feel a little bit like I'm tripping right now reading this comment.

You... trip.. with your drug dealer? Huh?

And if your therapist has a "clean supply" and you buy from them, are they not now your drug dealer?

How are these people stealing your car?

WHAT.
This argument relies on a really weird assumption that companies aren't already compensating employees as little as they can get away with. That companies could compensate employees less by not offering benefits but choose not to out of the goodness of their heart.

If employers are already compensating employees as little as they can get away with then if they stopped compensating via insurance, they'd be required to compensate via salary.
I would think the morale of management > morale of workers because like the game industry they'll just get new workers. Because "it's Google". Real estate has to be used to avoid embarrassment.

People will have to prove that such thoughts are incorrect, but the game industry provides a data point that it'll take a while.
A few years ago I depended on Vertica (snowflae/clickhouse) type database.

When a node went down there was no hope of ever coming back up unless you shut the other nodes down as well. While this was going down of course none of our ingress data was being inserted so it built a queue. When we turned things back on the queue would overload vertica again and we had to repeat the whole thing.

Fortunately for us we only stored analytic type data on vertica where customers usually were only interested in the last few hours anyways. So we ended up deleting all historical data and just reprocessing it over months while occasionally prioritizing customers that complained.
I know you are getting downvoted and a lot of gaff, but I do think you propose an interesting question. I am not sure what is illegal and what is not, but I am confident I support the strike.

So, let's say you are right. Would that make it illegal for all Uber drivers or strippers to strike? They are independent contractors, not employees. It also seems to me that these laws are created specifically to protect the consumer. Without damages, where is the crime? Even the example of the optometrists includes some theoretical damage to the consumer as the prices of their insurance could go up or the consumers had less access to eye care.

In the case of Etsy sellers though, I can not see how this could hurt consumers. Sellers are striking to lower the price of fees, which should help consumers and only hurt Etsy. I don't know the law, but I do feel like the law should be written in a way that these government agencies only act to prevent non-competitive activities that could hurt consumers.
That's right! That's a potential option for an integration.

The other options are:
- Transform's JDBC can be used to connect to tools that have SQL interfaces like Mode, Hex, Deepnote, etc.: https://docs.transform.co/docs/api/sql/sql-overview
- Materializations can be exported as constructed data marts to tools like Tableau / Looker that take in constructed data sources: https://docs.transform.co/docs/metricflow/reference/material...

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis with MS. Working on your health, mental and physical, is definitely critical here.

What kinds of things do you do in your political communications job? Sounds very interesting!
If corporations could stop offering health insurance in order to increase profits, why don't they do it?
Ya, I tend to agree with webmaven. None of the offers jump out in terms of being worth it. Take a break, work on your interview weaknesses, and try again in a bit. Enjoy the summer and keep things chill at work.
Sure, but Amtrak is a weird comparison since its "real" service area isn't anywhere close to the full population of the US. There's plenty of whole states that don't have an Amtrak station in them. Most EU countries have a much lower median distance to a train station than the US does.

I'm not expecting to have them be similar numbers. My original point was purely anecdotal - I usually take 1-3 Amtrak rides a year and I don't even live in a part of the country that has good Amtrak service. It's odd to me that folks in a country with much better service use it less than I feel like I would use Amtrak if I could.
A few years ago I sat in with a client on an 'employee meeting' where they discussed raises/insurance. No one had ANY clue what health insurance premiums were. The owner asked people what they thought it was per month. "$75? $99?" They went around the room. I said "$600". The whole room looked at me like I was nuts. The owner said "$560". Audible gasps around the room. People had literally no idea how much this stuff costs (this was... 5 years ago, IIRC).
I'm not against using Hydrogen but the problem is always what are they producing Hydrogen with and how is it more efficient energetically and emission wise?

uh i cant edit this anymore but i wanted to clarify to all the ppl spazzing out over the police thing that i was speaking in a broader historical sense and only got specific to america in the transition to the second paragraph
Edit: What a clanger of a mistake on my part, I read the wrong dates. My "earlier" snapshot is in fact a day later than yours. Disregard that part below, and skip to the final paragraph.

Thanks. I was curious about the duplicate projectFocus params so I de-duplicated them and plugged the URL back into wayback, finding a snapshot from a few days earlier that is also empty: https://web.archive.org/web/20220226004405/https://www.ned.o...

I don't doubt the veracity of the non-empty listing you posted, but I don't know what's going on about the empty listings both shortly before and after.

NED (and shockingly also USAID) is often enough involved in much of what I would consider the highly immoral work of the CIA, so I see your point in noting the funding, even if I don't think it's a smoking gun for anything in and of itself.
I mean - that sucks and all... but cost of living is constantly going up. If a company can't afford to continue operating with the costs of wages that company should shutter its doors - that's brutal but it's also how markets are supposed to respond.

In Australia minimum wage laws means that Starbucks locations rarely have more than two people on staff - that's just economic forces causing a rational business response.
This is extremely relative. There is the Laffer curve and the point of it is that at 90% taxation the taxes collected were actually less than at the moderate tax rates.

A side effect of this phenomenon is that this is the period when the American elites underwent a great transformation and became significantly more pragmatic than idealistic.

And honestly the monetary response from the government that we are seeing over the past 15 years is just a consequence of that - people (especially the wealthy, but what is the direction of the correlation?) learned how to dodge taxes, so gov took out the heavy artillery. So from the wealthy being (still enterprenural and crafty) tax dodgers we went to the cronies we have today.
Yeah, they make way more than any bus driver.

FWIW I just traveled on 4 flights with Alaska Air and this didn’t impact us at all.
Civil unrest is more what I meant, with those people much in mind, felt like a better term than coup. But I don't think "protest" is necessarily wrong, it doesn't count out violent ones AFAIK (lethally repressed, riots, etc), i.e :

> On the other hand, macOS has a weird snapping implementation where you need to click and hold the green “zoom” button, then choose to “tile” left or right. But, once you pick another window to fill the other half, both of those windows (together as one) move to their own virtual desktop. I want them split on my current desktop, not on a separate desktop.

Hold the option key and it snaps on the same desktop.

Or install Rectangle.app (free) which gives you mouse dragging and keyboard shortcut snapping like Windows/Linux.
From this thread, it sounds like Atlassian needs some better competition ASAP.
>It's been happening for much longer than NAFTA has been around. My hometown was known for building tires earlier in the 20th century and all that left in the early 80s and it never recovered.

Also, the products they made were kind of crappy and expensive. It's very easy for a company like the one the GP described to stagnate and rot. Especially when unions get thrown into the mix.

I used to fly a route from London City to JFK (with a stopover in Shannon) and a similar route from Newark to Singapore. Both were competitively priced with the business class seats on the 3 class birds on similar routes. In the case of the former, it was much slower than the larger jets, so I assume that put downward pressure on the flight price. For the Newark flight, I think the departing airport being Newark also helped contribute to slightly lower fares than say if it was JFK to SIN.

Having worked in the industry previously, I’m not sure there are many city pairs where all business works but carriers such as La Compagnie have made it work for at least stretches at a time.
Reaction to crypto is also informed by the knowledge that currency and trust are largely people problems, not technology problems: our societies have developed and refined institutions of trust, legal systems, banking systems, etc. over centuries. Those institutions work pretty well in general, and they work the way they do for good reasons.

Utopian claims about crypto are a hard sell to people who understand that technology is not a magic bullet.

Perhaps insurance companies would have to start competing for the business of individuals and families, and... perhaps that competition should drive down the price some, so they could get our business? (ha ha ha, of course, not going to happen).
This has me wondering: What entity will buy Docker? Will it be Microsoft, for example, who already controls a huge mind share around all things software? I would not be surprised to see Docker bought by a megacorp in the next couple of years.

What were your issues with Seeing Like a State? I haven't read it myself yet, so I'm curious.
Canada literally had to suspend the charter and due process by enacting the emergency measures act, which is unprecedented amongst western countries. Why would the government do that if no one supported them anyways?

Your insurrection did not kill 5 people by the way. I get that there's a weird urge to make that event some sort of insanely important historical moment but it doesn't mean you have to make up dead people.

Ironically, from a neutral outsider view, what happened on the 6th of January can also be described as "a bunch of morons thinking they could get their way and being absolutely obnoxious". It doesn't look that way when you are knees deep in american partisan culture wars, but Americans have a tendency to think that anything that happens in the US is exceptional and unique.
You dont own anything on Spotify, and the songs can be removed at any time. You can also be removed at any time.

Ownership and records are still just as expensive today. Renting is just a new option
sometimes you can.

A good exemple is Windows 8.1.

Depending on who you ask, it's either the best OS Microsoft has ever made or one of the worse. If you know how to install a different Start Menu, you can get >95% of the benefits of W10/W11 with no downside other than game compatibility. If you are stuck with the menu provided by Microsoft, it's almost literally unusable. It's so bad that and hated by literally everyone that IMHO it deserved a "fire managers/leaders who approved it" type of response.

I think there is a lot of us vs them in the world. We seem to have forgotten how to collaborate and cooperate. Unless you are in our tribe and you can only join the tribe after a trial by hazing. Then if you leave the tribe you are back to you and them again. Maybe that's the spirited world of capitalist competition but the reason we have companies and endeavor to solve humanity's problems.
That's the gist of it to me.

>It seems to me the healthiest behavior falls somewhere in between. “Put your own mask on first, before helping others”: look to help others, but do it from a place of safety. That’s the general tone I aim for. You absolutely should try to look out for your colleagues – but not when it comes at great personal expense.

Excellent advice. I also read the linked article about exit interviews and I concur they're a trap. I've dealt with vindictive former employers like that. Frankly, the easiest way to get over it is to pretend you never worked there and forget the place exists. When asked to explain the gap in my employment I just partially lie and say it was health related. Because of HIPAA in the US they can't pry too much, and as long as I can prove I'm healthy now and otherwise qualified they legally aren't supposed to deny me the job because of it.
Babylon Berlin would probably be my go to for that (assuming I had already seen it)
Well, if you plan to release a commercial product based on writing JS, compiling that to WASM, running somehow inside or alongside a C/C++ core engine also compiled to WASM, both running in some standalone WASM environment ... good luck!

Elementary looks like a nice playground for audio if you have a web-leaning bent. Just like SuperCollider is a nice playground for audio if you are familiar with some its fundamental assumptions.

Neither of them seem appropriate to be the basis of products I would charge someone for, other than maybe as a one-off custom tool of some sort.

Unless you manage to replace Congress with people who fully buy in to the vision of pure UBI, that's not going to happen. UBI, if it ever exists, will be implemented by the politicians we have.
HN’s audience is massive, global, and all on one board.

This is pretty unusual.

It also means there’s a lot of variety of ideas and opinions, but generally a unifying thread of curiosity.

Still, the median view is often lame or mediocre, especially on some topics. Unfortunately crypto is one of them. There’s still interesting stuff sometimes, but it’s often drowned out.
Sorry, I'm dense...what is this comment referring to?
Calvin: Fast Distributed Transactions for Partitioned Database Systems
Double, more or less, if the sole requirement was to have the same revenue per flight for a full plane. E.g. a small short haul aircraft with, say, 35 rows of economy class (six across) would end up with 30 rows of first class (four across). That cuts capacity by about half.

But some people will pay more for comfort. And most regular people are incredibly price sensitive, they'll suffer quite a lot just to save even 10 bucks on an airline ticket, so your hypothetical airline doing this strategy went bankrupt.
Hmm you're right on that first part. I don't know where I got that from. I seemed to remember playing around on CoveredCA and it said I couldn't get a plan because my employer offered plans, but I can't reproduce that now.
historically and in the bigger picture of things, yes, but in the late 1990s by the time that it came to NeXT getting acquired by apple, their hardware was long since irrelevant.
City train systems are not offered by Deutsche Bahn AG, but by local city carriers, so they are not part of that statistic. E.g. Munich is mostly run by MVG and had 596 million passengers in 2018 [1], which aren't included in the numbers above. DB only runs the S-Bahn in Munich.

But yes, the 2600m DB passengers probably mixes long distance and short distance service to some degree.

To add to this.. Us Americans I don't think understand how many other parts of the world don't like us. If you want evidence of this go travel, and see how people treat you, then watch their eyes light up if you tell them you are a Canadian and not American.

If it wasn't Putin it would be someone else eventually. You can't win the whack-a-mole game forever.

Let's say we could repeat things without Putin. Facebook and Google and tech companies would have kept growing naively, making it easier and easier to break the system over time. Eventually some team somewhere would infect social media and use it against the USA.

I would actually argue that when humans are exposed to too much information their ability to make rational decisions actually goes down, and we are more likely to use our emotion to make decisions. If you e ever felt burnt out, and overwhelmed by decisions you'll likely have felt something like this.

It is inevitable in my eyes.
I think us humans make the mistake of thinking history happens because of the names. It doesn't.
I mean yeah if you dismiss or downplay the issues every other country has, the US looks unique. But that's not exactly meaningful right? Also, considering what's happening in france, do you agree that your original comment was not accurate?
Rich people unable to do what they want, Tyranny! Powerful people unable to do what they want, Tyranny!

You probably just travel more than most people. Also, America is much bigger than any given European country and that leads to greater travel distances.
Nah, he clearly defined the rise in heresy to his perception that liberals instituted changes in academia in the 1980s.

Why do you feel it is "telling" to accurately and concretely identify something that the article was explicit about?
>Hunter gatherer societies can live as long as people in modern, developed societies.

Yeah theoretically if nothing bad happens to you you can live to 80, just like people in developed countries. The difference is that all the random causes of death (eg. dysentery, or infection because you cut yourself) drags down the life expectancy down to significantly below 80. In other words, people in "modern, developed societies" living to 80 is the average outcome, but for hunter gatherers that might be the 99th percentile outcome. Your comment casually ignores this.
>the cat is relying on visual clues

That should be pretty easy to test. Anyone know if blind cats land on their feet? If blind cats are in general too geriatric to test on, what about a blind fold, and dropping your cat upside-down on a bed?

LRU works by by using a specific cache size. How big should that be? Will that number work for small microcontrollers and giant servers? Is that per disc? Per directory? Per system? Per kernel?

Should that size expand and contract overtime somehow?

You seem to be attributing issues to cookies that are actually problems with what people are doing with them.

Nobody dislikes cookies - when used correctly, users don't know they exist. This site seems to be doing a great job with them - there's a single cookie to store my login session.

What people don't like is annoying prompts - they claim to be about cookies, but really they're asking permission to track users for nefarious purposes.

If you don't track users, you don't need to ask - and that's the case whether you use cookies or not.

If you track users, you need to ask permission no matter what technology you use.

Again, that's the case on this site - no tracking = no need for annoying popups.
