I had a similar ordeal cancelling The Economist subscription in 2020.

I had to call someone (offshore) who tried to retain me with months free, and then started trying to push emails (???) which I explicitly said no to... and then they turned them all on anyway when I cancelled. I don't have a way to turn them off so they go straight to spam now ("unsubscribe" doesn't work, and I don't care enough to escalate any further)

Never subscribing for news again - they're killing themselves at this point.
It can also drive businesses to develop models where people are more productive. Productivity isn't just a function of skills and how much people "push", but also how businesses operate.

Yes, you should be allowed to think whatever you want. Doubt Musk disagrees with that.
I'd hate to work anywhere that tolerated this kind of narcissistic employee "activism", glad that companies are finally putting a stop to it.
Hi! I’m the author of Creusot, Sarek did some amazing work on CreuSAT, he also had to teach himself formal verification and SAT solving along the way.

If you have any questions about CreuSAT or Creusot, I’d be happy to answer

I would say that. Raise taxes on corporations. Trickle-down economics is and always has been a lie.
Billions, even 10s of billions, is not comparable to trillions.

None examples so far have provided independently source of valuing industries claimed, nor to my knowledge have any of the industries cited have as many direct customers.

Feel free to provide specific (and comparable) examples.

To be clear, just trying to be objective. For example, NFTs alone for living artist easily surpassed the billion made in non-NFT sales for living artist; sure NFTs were 30-40% behind in total volume, but that’s largely for dead artists.

Further, you keep bring up legal changes, but I am not aware of any pending legal matters that might have a substantial impact on the use of the technology itself; further, crypto is global and clearly adapted to legal changes including all out bans in China.
Producing the proofs (especially for UNSAT) is often very time consuming, and verifying them can be subtle (and if an incorrect proof is produced, you still have to deal with that case somehow...). It's not so much that they negate the need for verified SAT solvers as that creating and maintaining a verified SAT solver was considered much too difficult to justify the proof effort required. If the goal can be accomplished with an order of magnitude less effort, that calculus changes somewhat.
> "You're hurting your fellow citizens by diluting their labor"

No more so than having children and growing the population that way, which is a concept the right generally supports ("family values", "pro life").

> "you are strictly harming not helping your fellow countrymen"

It's not like the right do things to help fellow countrymen; taking away rights ("pro choice"), scorning single mothers instead of helping them and their children, demonizing social welfare users as 'welfare queens', opposing 'free' healthcare, oppising livable wages, remove unions and removing the bargaining power workers would need to have good wages otherwise, worsening education and making it less accessible and more expensive. The society their actions move towards is one where wealthy people live off the back of a working class who grind for money and die when they aren't productive anymore, along with a militarised police force acting to keeps the poors in line, and a 'justice' system which lets the rich away without punishment. And you can see it in action when Texas power fails and Ted Cruz takes his family on holiday, or the needlessly cruel treatment the UK Conservative Party's Department for Work and Pensions does to disabled people.

Nationalism isn't "help fellow citizens", it's "given a region drawn on a map, inside good, outside bad".
Another obvious narrow waist is money. Language might be one, especially English today.
You are attempting a reductio ad absurdum by saying that since the potential consequences of the rule you outline leads to a result that you don't like, said rule cannot actually exist.

This is backwards. There are lots of rules out there which I'm sure you dislike. Therefore your dislike of this one is irrelevant.

And I say that despite agreeing with you about how it might be abused. And despite wondering whether the people calling for more diversity and exclusion in this letter may be the kind of people to abuse it that way. Rules are rules, and we should try to apply them fairly, especially when applied to people we dislike.
Isn't a group of 1 still a minority? Isn't Musk himself a loud minority of the company who wields lots of power? Isn't SpaceX in this case already a Dictatorship of the Small Minority?
As I understand it, Boring Company’s vision is to decrease the capital cost of public transit by using commodity carriages (Tesla cars, eventually self-driving) and smaller tunnels. The Vegas Loop test case appeared to work okay, but in the videos I saw, was subject to congestion in the stations.

My layman’s understanding of the topic is that the major expense for subways is the platforms more than the tunnels. The article says Boring’s platforms will be 1.5-20 million to build. Anybody know how that compares to traditional construction in similar soil?
> The authors aren't mocking Musk at all.

I never said they are, and that's not why they were fired. From the article: "The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views," Ms. Shotwell wrote.
Maybe that's why we don't see bags of apple seeds being sold next to sunflower seeds in grocery stores, but there's no way you'd be able to eat enough whole apples to poison yourself with those seeds. The supposed toxicity of apple seeds is greatly exaggerated. Yes, they contain a compound that is metabolized into cyanide. But so do many seeds and nuts, and our bodies are evolved to deal with it. The half-life of cyanide in your body is about an hour, it gets metabolized and doesn't accumulate in you. You'll never feel the effects of the cyanide even if you eat several apples a day.
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.

There are some good writers on dedicated subscription platforms, unfortunately forking out for several of them quickly costs substantially more than a single one to a "legacy" provider.

Example: For an alternative view into US politics to some of the hopelessly biased mainstream platforms you could try Tangle, but that's just one unfortunately.

https://www.readtangle.com/

It would be nice if you could collate several of those sort together but I guess that's what the old style providers are still good at.
The Aztec religion before the plague and the establishment of that awful island empire might have been very different - imagine what would happen of American Christianity if 90% of the population died and a bloodthirsty militant faction took over the remnants. Maybe some of it will turn up over the next century of archeology.

The Economist is very definitely on the right economically, and on the left socially. In other words it's classic liberal, and they regularly make that clear.
They've been going with more opinion pieces in the last few years, which is not an improvement IMHO.

Only real downside to The Economist though is their app. It's a complete embarrassment, the worst I've seen. It's comically bad, don't-just-fire-them-shoot-them bad.
Any employee can change jobs at anytime... why are you comparing at will employment to slavery? Elon controls everything because he own's a majority of the shares of the company. His money, his decisions, his voice.
COuntries will be looking to become energy independent, especially with the russia fiasco Europe is facing. At the very least they will try to make sure a majority of their energy isn't imported from one country.
But Musk has loudly stated that Twitter, a private company, should uphold equally strong standards towards freedom of speech as the state. Which in itself is a fair argument insofar as Twitter is so central to democratic discourse that its censorship will have destructive effects on democratic discourse comparable to what would happen if state censorship did.

But this leads to a pretty blatant double standard if he fires his employees for participating in public discussion and criticism of himself.
Gen-X when they were young were sort of anti-conformist and anti-corporate. "Selling out" was the biggest insult. You see it reflected in the popular media of the time--like Office Space and Matrix. But in order to have financial success and raise families they "sold out" and went to work for the man.

>People should be called out. Musk is always talking about upending established orders and questioning the status quo - guess he's more interested in loyalists.

Depends what you mean by calling out because must of current call out culture is toxic garbage. I think successful organizations need to encourage questioning decisions. But questioning isn't the same thing as loudly criticizing in a public manner.
I subscribe to the print edition of Jacobin. It's the only one I think is worth paying for these days. Everything else is either pushing scam reflinks (NYT, CNN, etc), complete garbage content (Fox and the like), or straight up falsehoods.

For everything else I evade paywalls either using the bypass paywalls extension or some other method. I explicitly refuse to pay for the content because I want to see these businesses die, and consuming their content without giving them money is one way to help accelerate their demise.

We're in the scam stage of late stage capitalism, and between the climate crisis and the slow decline into populist fascism, our best hope as a species is degrowth.

I don't think you read my comment. There are lots of ways that you can end up with a concentration of a particular ethnicity/religion/etc. It is unreasonable to immediately assume that it is a result of nepotism, and the specific facts matter quite a lot. People often work with and start companies with people from their community, and as a result they are often a large part of their professional network. It's only nepotism if those people are favored over others.
This is neat, any other projects similar? Notably ones that work perhaps with more of an LSP-like API?

For WSJ if you change your billing address to California you can cancel online. I dunno if that's true for every subscription, though.
Strawman to compare criticizing a gay man’s LGBT advocacy to asking a leader to stop being a jackass on Twitter. I am sure board members have made the same statements to Musk because there is fiduciary responsibility to not alienate your customers. As a shareholder in Tesla, I would love to see Musk get off of Twitter.
> If it's hard to tell the difference, it'll be hard to sell the difference

That's going into my quotes list. Rhymes, is short and gets an important point accross. Bravo.
I should have explained myself better. The old way of specifying a position (pixel coords in a plane) does not work well for complicated setups. Among the possible alternatives there is:

1. Assign responsibility to the wm (Wayland’s way)

2. Create a new way to specify position preference in a complicated world. That’s what you propose, IIUC. It’s possible but complicated, and Wayland had a lot of other problems to worry about, therefore I understand why they didn’t choose this way.

3.Leave the simple protocol in place, but let the wm override the application’s choice when necessary. I guess a lot of apps would not work properly in such a system.
It has been demonstrated that you're entirely out of tap if you can't imagine Home Office Weekly this could be useful.
>> Why? Genuine question - that sounds like an incredibly opinionated position for the display server to force up the stack...

The security model in Wayland seems to keep the application largely isolated from its environment. No warping the mouse pointer, no reading pixels, no understanding of what the user might be doing outside the application window. I can agree with all of that in principle. It is not the applications place to move anything on the desktop including itself. Those are to be done by the user. Also for consistency this kind of thing has to be done by the DE.

It was also nonsensical to have have applications be responsible for remembering their own positions instead of the "window manager". Read that again "window manager" ;-)
That's a false dichotomy. In reality, there are more options than just "be boring" or "be sensational." Those other options just aren't in fashion right now.

Saying a bad thing about your employer isn't insubordination.

That said, most places in the US are at-will employment, so you can fire your employees for no reason.

Unfortunately, yes. I know a lot of companies (here on HN, my current employer, etc) are talking about ML like it is cheap and easy to build, but you get what you pay for and right now it looks from budgets that Microsoft is paying for a lot of high quality effort. Again, I think it would be beneficial if more of this work was done out in the open, in part to open it to good critique and peer review, and in part to make it more obvious to everyone (including companies such as my current employer) that proper data science is still an expensive investment that requires a ton of work and hidden costs. But the catch-22 there is of course the more expensive the investment the greater the desire to protect it and keep it secret (at least in the short term where it seems a competitive advantage).
This is fantastic. Kudos to them. Copying some things they won, for the non-clickers:

- Minimum 3% annual CoL raises

- Profit-sharing bonuses

- Putting their current benefits in the contract, so management will have to re-negotiate if they want to make them worse.

- Replacing at-will with "just cause", progressive disciplining, with criteria for performance improvement plans.

Looking forward to more details & seeing how this plays out, especially as the market collapses (probably will end up looking like amazing timing on their part, btw).

Interestingly, for the people that like to paint unions as wokies, the progressive discipline item (if implemented well) actually _curbs_ 'cancel culture'. Because at-will employment is basically the enforcement mechanism for cancel culture.
Tried various news sources, but got stuck w/ the following subscriptions: Washington Post, Financial Times & The Economist.
More like a disorganizational problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

>Conway's law is an adage that states organizations design systems that mirror their own communication structure. It is named after the computer programmer Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in 1967. His original wording was:

>Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

>— Melvin E. Conway

In Gnome's case, the structure of its design is a copy of its disorganized communication structure.
These people can go work for other employers, or even start competing businesses. This type of agitative behavior is detrimental to productivity and serves no purpose. If they wanted the company to succeed so much why didn’t they just become management themselves and have a positive impact that way?
I’m totally happy to work for a place that wants to make as much money as possible. That is a great thing.

Making as much money as possible by milking the government or using the government to regulate your competitors things is another matter

Only allowing one voice in politics is super dangerous.
Nice straw man you've got there. These employees weren't "incoherently yelling in all places at all times". They distributed a memo which criticized Elon. This should be very acceptable behaviour to a free speech absolutist like Musk.
I've worked ~5 low skill jobs that meet this description. It is the norm, not the exception. At least in Canada.

Jobs advertised as permanent full-time where they can you on the last day they are allowed to are also very common.

Also, my co-workers at these jobs were 90% lazy slobs who did maybe 25% of the load I would while getting paid the same amount. No amount of write ups would alter their behaviour.

I'm blessed, truly, to have escaped poverty.

It's also short sighted right?

This was a successful worker that missed a few days of work with a medical issue, boom fired. And then we see memos like this lamenting that they can't get enough workers? By not accepting some productivity dips due to human nature, they're shrinking their labor pool both by removing people from it directly and with the sentiment generated by the bad press of their inhumane treatment of workers.

The writer(s) of this letter definitely didn't spit in any Tesla customer's face. Elon is not buying all the Teslas, probably didn't pay for his.

The open letter wanted to “publicly address and condemn Elon’s harmful Twitter behavior”.

It's only a small step until these activists start demanding similar things regarding random public people they don't like. Like DeSantis. Surely any sane leadership would condemn DeSantis' harmful behavior?

I hope firings will continue until this kind of activism subsides.
There's anxiety (a feeling of nervousness or unease, in presence of a real or perceived threat or danger), which is normal and useful - you feel anxious before giving a public speech, or asking someone out. Panic is a stronger version of anxiety, but it can be justified and also be useful - you will feel it if you get attacked by an enraged dog or when you see a man running towards you with a knife.

Then there's Anxiety Disorder, which is a mental condition. There's many subtypes. They prevent the individual from having a normal life, and/or are uncontrollable. They are not useful. One anxiety disorders manifest in Panic Attacks, which can feel similar to a heart attack and happen seemingly randomly.

> ineffective survival mechanisms

Yes, when anxiety gets "ineffective" it has become Anxiety Disorder.

A healthy dose of fear of being run over by a car when crossing the street is useful and normal. Not being able to get out of your house because you are afraid of cars is a disorder.

For her it was The Hartridge School and then Yale. Hartridge, in its modern form as the Wardlaw-Hartridge School, runs a bit over $40k/yr by the time you're nearing the end, down to about $16k for pre-k, though many won't be paying full sticker price.

And this is how you get the modern Google, where there is lots of nepotism, politics, and a shift from being a company that makes cool innovative shit to one that hires AI "ethics" "engineers" that lose their marbles.

When people say "culture of objectivity, facts and honesty", what they really mean is "ability to inject my moral code into any conversation and have it be heard and accepted". In a company as high strung as Space X, there is absolutely no place for that.
