> Can you demonstrate that the pro-union forces are prevented from countering this propaganda, calling it "lies," etc.?

Easily. Companies do everything in their power to discourage pro unionizing talk from happening. They hire specialized union-busting PR firms whose job it is to spread anti-union rhetoric and prevent pro-union voices from being heard. The mere existence of these PR firms shows how much of an uphill battle any kind of pro union movement has.

> In other words, maybe the workers heard the other side and didn't agree. Is that not allowed?

Of course it's allowed. It's just not likely that it's actually happening this way.

> As for the "underlying threat" -- how is it "underlying"? Aren't the union elections by secret ballot? Are you saying they're not really secret, or what?

The election is only a tiny piece of the process of unionizing. What about people vocally supporting unionizing to their other coworkers? Or putting up pro-union posters on break room bulletin boards, or any other public pro union activity? You know, trying to get their voices heard and convince people to vote their way? In theory those people are protected by laws but it's easy enough for a company to fire them for "performance reasons" or whatever else.

You're coming across incredibly naive to the reality of how cutthroat corporations really are. They don't play fair, especially not when someone threatens their control by talking about unionizing.
Why wouldn't McDonald's and places be thankful that somebody is disposing of their waste for them? Or do they do something productive with the contents of the grease bin?
Cooking oil is in such short supply (Ukraine produced much of the world's seed-derived cooking oil) that UK fish and chip shops were unable to get supplies.

I've seen news reports of cooking oil thefts here in the US - restaurants being broken into for their frying or cooking oil.

Trying to push these "solutions" is beyond irresponsible. People in many countries can't afford to eat, and we're turning food into fuel?
Humans can literally justify anything. It shouldn't be a lot of little ones or a smaller number of big ones.

It should be as close to zero as possible.

We don't need any studies to figure that out.

Replies like yours are why I believe that humans will not be in control of the earth 50 or 100 years from now. It will be much smarter robots. And that will be a good thing.
I used to work in the Windows team before I moved onto a team in Azure. I’ve contributed to both user and kernel mode components. You’ll work with very smart people and they will be very technical. Hiring bar in the Windows kernel team is very high compared to other teams in the company. You learn a lot. Work life balance will also be great.

The other great part is the sheer amount of engineering that will go into every feature you will own. I say “engineering” because it’ll be different from any services work you have done.

Tools that are at your disposal as part of Windows Core team is top notch.

Good luck! You will not regret this.
Depends on how long the decrypted password(s) is sitting there for someone to read and how easy it is to locate... at least that'd be my speculation. You'd think a good password manager doesn't hold onto the password for very long, then there's copy/paste buffers (which some password managers also clear), then there's the question of whether there's enough information for the attacker to figure out what the password is for. If this is a JavaScript attack vector (not sure if this is possible at all given the language constraints) it's presumably a lot slower vs. the numbers discussed.

So maybe don't quite panic yet. Developing story.

Gosh, if only the phone company had some way to contact you ...
As someone currently working in a company that has linux-only product but somehow decided to standardise on macbooks in engineering...

It turns out I'm not the only person with the complaint "macOS in Engineering considered Harmful". Pretty much all backend work is done in either a Linux VM using Parallels, or in docker containers, and the developer experience sucks because of that. While theoretically someone could try building some components on mac, that would be a small portion useless to general work.

We might not be at the scale of Google, but we have even less mac-specific work and similar Linux focus (hell, I'm working on custom distro even)
This is a very interesting insight. The vast majority of traditional unix security mitigations are about securing a multi-user system from malicious users. However a lot of the most frightening threat models now are about using data from a single-user system to hijack session tokens or other secrets and thereby compromise external systems that it has some sort of trust relationship with. That's why you see spearphishing attacks that compromise the clipboard - they are hoping that a useful secret gets copied from a password manager or similar. You don't need to elevate priviledge on the local machine if all the secrets are owned by the user you have compromised, and all these secrets are very small numbers of bytes because they are designed to go into a challenge response type flow.
> People who accept token payments for work, out of vanity or a false concept of “exposure”, damage the market for those of us who actually need to get paid for our writing. Such people are the pariahs of the freelance world.

If you want to work in an arena where people are happy to do so for free you need to either get used to it or find a way to make competition illegal or very difficult. That way you can make things better for yourself at the expense of the consumer and people wanting to break in who aren’t related to anyone who matters. For an example see the Screen Actors’ Guild or the American Federation of Musicians.
I'm slightly surprised they haven't gotten rid of the stellated hexagon artifacts with software.
I would assume those folks are not googlers, but are contract labor.
With me it's similar: I don't play individual songs on repeat, I play whole albums (mostly on Spotify however, not on CD). But I change the album once in a while. Listening to new music or one of those endless Spotify playlists doesn't allow me to concentrate on programming, the music has to be familiar.
You really need to look at incident rates rather than totals when making comparisons across categories like this. Plus, no one is suggesting banning skateboards, just participating in the sport as safely as possible. There is likewise an ongoing effort to make cars as safe as possible, and indeed they have gotten much safer for both passengers and pedestrians over the years.
> You can also run diesel cars and trucks on kerosene. The winter blend of diesel fuel in cold climates is a mixture of diesel and kerosene (which has a lower freezing temperature).

I know that Mercedes diesel sedans here in Asia has "NO ADDITIVES" written multiple times all around its inner fuel lid.

I don't know for sure if Germany is considered to have cold climate, but if it is, I wonder if their diesel has kerosene and how that plays out with these engines.

As I understand, Mercedes diesels are ubiquitous in some European countries (atleast as a taxi)?
I wonder why they didn't just add it in at the beginning, I can't imagine the implementation being that difficult
The whole post is anecdotal and ending with ..

> Maybe quitting will change your life, too.

.. is like saying "maybe punching myself in the face will make my nose bleed". This post makes it sound as if the actor's choice to pause acting was the reason for him getting a great role eventually, hence legitimizing quitting. But since nobody knows what would have happened if he wouldn't have paused his acting career, it's a naive assumption to think, that the reason for the the actor's success was thanks to him "quitting" his acting career at one point.

In an alternate universe he might have become the president of the USA because he would not have had quit his acting, and eventually landed a job at "The Apprentice".

So, no, don't just give up eventually - unless you're in a cul-de-sac. And even then, don't give up; pivot instead!
Neither the article mentions it nor is it somewhere in the comments so far: Common TikTok wisdom seems to be that listening on repeat is an ADHD thing.

I wonder if there is something to it or if it's just one of those oft repeated 'facts' that run by themselves after a while?
First, the notion that Twitter would have difficulty funding extended litigation is just ridiculous. Second, Musk won’t be able to make this a long drawn out process. This court moves quickly and appeals go straight to the State Supreme Court.

> would say that the only way it may be possible is small government. Not because subsidies are bad, but the only way to watch government closely enough to keep corruption low is to make it small enough to watch in entirety

Well said, this sort of thinking needs to both be better understood on the right (all gov spending, taxation, and intervention isn’t immediately bad) and on the left (every critique of government doesn’t mean the only alternative people want is some radical anarcho-capitalist zero government fantasy world).

Instead it’s smaller and more effective government but still strongly supporting it where it makes sense ie subsidized education, healthcare, and other places with uncontrolled externalities that markets can’t properly serve.

More about being cheerleaders for what works, not just lazily pushing a government spending free for all nor a “stop everything”
approach where only soft targets get reduced like teachers salaries instead of subsidies to billion dollar companies.

It’s harder and nuanced, but still worth fighting for.
Breast milk is inherently sterile (unless the mother has a severe bacterial infection). It usually gets contaminated with the skin microbiota during feeding.

So no, I wouldn't count on L. reuteri being found in a random sample of breast milk.

Instant love. I can accept that videos might get removed from YT for whatever reason, but if there's an empty spot in my playlist I want to know what it is so I can go and look for it elsewhere. Didn't realize this information was still available, never thought to look. Excellent work.
The fuel is made from used, waste oil. Not something you can cook with. The article explains this.

Same is true when you read about cars and buses powered by cooking oil. They aren't going to the grocery store to buy the oil.
Oh. I love that you can build this stuff in BORLANDC even today. :)
who promptly fires everyone at Twitter who was involved in the lawsuit?
Very good counterpoints, especially the second. I suppose there is also the chance that recycling and reuse options continue to advance as technology moves forward.
It runs on used cooking oil.
Might as well just open it up at that point.
That would depend on how you define it. Grab the list of accepted proposals and you can analyze the data yourself, to compare them to any in–group you care about: https://archive.stsci.edu/hst/abstract.html?abstract=&dispab...

It won't prevent theft of ephemeral SSH session keys, but consider using a HSM or at least a TPM (with Termius, or Secretive) for long-term private key storage. 2FA will situationally help with the other concerns. (You can and probably should use 2FA with SSH as well.)
What I find interesting is the sweetness of these onions derives from the unusually low sulphur content of the soil they're grown in and not the varietal.

I have to wonder if I could grow these myself and how they compare to red onions.

Your statements about redshift and distance are correct, but I do not see where relativity comes into it. Even in Newtonian physics redshift occurs. If you could elaborate I would love to learn. Thank you!
Does Perceus differ substantially from using https://lib.rs/crates/im and writing code which looks identical to imperative code, but cloning is faster and mutations are slower (and copy internal structures as necessary)?
In my experience the recruiters are great about helping you prep. They have a PDF called "Google Interview Prep Guide Site Reliability Engineer" that talks about SRE-SE vs. SRE-SWE vs. SWE, and links to books and topics to study.

The unforgivingness of math combined with the complexity of languages.

Math is a prereq not because we use it, but because people who don't have the patience for high school math won't have the patience to learn programming.
this is so good, i love it! some soft radial gradient roughly matching the sum would be pretty, but then the twilight edges are hard to distinguish…
Vastly different fuels.

Jet engines run on a Jet A1, kinda like diesel or kerosene, ignites under pressure with oxygen.

Avgas is a high octane (100) petrol that requires a spark for ignition.

Last time I was reading about unleaded avgas it seemed to be mostly a regulatory inertia problem, though I'm not well versed in aviation engine requirements.
If I recall, suing to require contract performance also occurs at a much smaller scale if buyers or sellers try to back out of a finalized transaction for sales of a house or condo. If they then can't or won't, damages may be applied.
It's funny how everyone thinks of South Korea as this Thailand-like climate when they in fact have some awfully cold days every once in a while.

It still beats getting it wrong in other forms of engineering.
Aha, a name for it.

I ran a meeting once where a significant consensus decision was made after lengthy discussion of several alternatives.

The result surprised and disappointed me, so I checked with everyone individually later, away from the meeting, to find nobody in the group wanted the option they voted for, they just voted for what they thought everyone else wanted. Which turned out to be wrong. It wasn't even a compromise, it was just incorrect belief from misinterpreting everyone else's sentiment.

The least popular option prevailed, with unanimous consensus, and nobody knew it was unpopular until I checked after.
In the case of cooking oil, it is (I assume, didn't check) a trial and neither the engine nor the oil are certified for regular flight. Even if ao, it most likely would be the specific engine that would be recertified, not the cooking oil derived fuel.

AvGas is different, there it is not individual engines that get re certified for using lead free fuel (faster for each engine but impossible due to the agevand obsolescense of these old engines), so the fuel has to certified for all engines at the same time.
For anyone wondering about the odd number, 1.3333333730697632 is (double)((float)1440 / 1080)). The exact value would be 1440 / 1080 = 1.333... (continued).
Okay, now tell me how to prevent Apple from compromising my network security.
Labs usually get them from bacterial strain collections, e.g https://www.atcc.org/search#q=lactobacillus%20reuteri&sort=r...
The issues are totally unrelated. Jet turbines have always been capable of running on almost any fuel. I would hazard a guess that what Airbus did here was mostly certifying that the alternative fuel wouldn't cause any major problems, maybe also things like tweaking the engine management systems to ensure consistent power output and throttle responsiveness with the new fuel. The problem with avgas is that there are a huge number of aviation piston engines still in use that were built with 1930s-1960s era technology (in some cases the engines themselves are literally that old) that were designed to use leaded gasoline. Getting those engines to run on unleaded gas would at best require extensive modifications to the engine and at worst just isn't possible. In the cases where it's possible, someone has to foot the bill to figure out how to modify the engines and get the changes certified with the FAA, both incredibly expensive propositions. Once that's done all of the owners will have to drop the money to upgrade their engines.

The death of avgas is inevitable but unfortunately it's probably going to take some sectors of general aviation with it. Those older planes are still flying in large part because newer planes have gotten so incredibly expensive. Also from what I've read the warbird community is working on the problem but many of them aren't very optimistic about being able to get those big WW2 era engines to run unleaded.
I wonder how viable it is to synthesize Kerosene or some other carbon fuel using renewable energy and some carbon source (stored factory exhaust?). Renewables are intermittent, but if the fuel synthesis process can also be intermittent then isn't that fine? Viola: you got a form of storage. Why does this not seem to be viable despite dropping costs of renewables?

You usually patent the use of such bacteria, not the bacteria per se.
I hear you about the hypercompetitive perspective. I'm 20 years older and can't believe the stress that we put learners through.

If I can offer my voice - focus on doing some real shit. Don't worry about the career ladder - find experiences where you accomplished some real goals. Getting on the FAANG career ladder too early is probably very limiting. The big differentiator is whether you can take on accountability for making decisions; this requires practice (and luck) => experience.

Don't stress it. People told me this when I was a recent college grad in the mid 2000's. Develop your own heuristic of learning and growing versus stagnating. On the outside-of-FAANG-world, there are so many more opportunities for growth than a kept engineer can imagine.

I agree on the general principal of taking government's messages with a grain of salt and considering their motivations.

Same! I’ve ordered a case every year since I first saw this, and it’s well worth it. I grew up on the East Coast and got used to being able to just get Vidalias in the grocery season each year in the spring, but when I moved to the West Coast, I discovered that they’re much harder to come by here.

They are fantastic lenses. Which one have you got? I have the 150/2. Why shouldn't you use the lens with the newest mFT cameras with the current sensors?
If you are looking for a beefy camera, you can currently get the E-M1X increadibly cheap and of course to get the newest, the OM-1 works nicely with them too. You just need to look around for the Olympus adapter, which unfortunately is avaliable only used. That is what you should be buying up, preferrably the mmf-1, as it is more robust than its successors.
Would be interested in what other solutions you envision. In production error reporting to services like Sentry relies on getting access to a stack and unlike a native runtime there is nothing one could do to create a stack without the engine’s support.
When I was younger I would get hooked on a CD. I'd do it so much that the current game I was also hooked on and the music I was listening to get intertwined into a single memory (if I see the game I remember the music, and vice versa).

These days with Spotify I get hooked on a single song and will often play that song over and over for a week or two.
Been there too. I'm a big fan of explicit data models (DTOs) for each endpoint, as I think any kind of interface description should be as sound, concise and precise as possible. That means never having any property sent that is redundant or unnecessary (=gets ignored by the backend). But I do see the problems and increased engineering effort to achieve this. Especially since a lot of BE frameworks and languages do not support union and intersection types (looking at you, C# and Java) while OAS does. The endresult is usually larger shared DTO models, where any given subset of properties is set to "null" depending on the endpoint it is used for. Not a clean interface design, but decreases a lot engineering effort.
Terrible suggestion, but this site is also terrible tabloidy clickbait.

Are you sure you're talking about workstation and not laptop? What you're saying sounds true for laptops, but I was at Google for 10 years on a variety of teams and I was only ever aware of Linux workstations unless one has a specific need for a different OS.
