First, you never answered why you claimed unemployed youth is a good thing. Care to explain?

Do you now agree that a union is a monopoly of labor?

And switching to RTW laws instead of unionization hits upon one of the key areas: RTW lets more people work, so those regions also get lower quality people into jobs. Lower quality people earn less generally.

From your first paper, regarding RTW laws: "previous research finds these laws to be largely inconsequential" - so: did this paper overturn all previous papers? Or did later papers still support the "largely inconsequential" part? Papers are a discussion, so it's best to look at followups, such as the more recent, more widely cited [1]: it states that RTW is not what drives inequality - that is caused in the paper by preexisting variables, that both drive inequality and the passage of RTW laws. So I guess that covers that, right?

As I showed above - union companies have slower employment growth. This is done at the cost to less employable workers - especially youth and old - as also demonstrated which you then said was a good thing, for who knows what reason.

Your second paper is the same short-sighted claim you keep making - of course wages go up for those in a union. No one disputes that. It does not address that the cost is passed on to society and to displaced workers, which is the part you seem unable to admit also happens. If a monopoly on labor drives up wages, where do you think that money comes from? Owners simply hand it over? Or does it put pressure on employment, on investment, on business expansion, on prices?

We can keep going around. I agree there are benefits to unions, but you seem unable to admit there are also costs. Do you still think there are no downsides and that unemployed youth is a good thing? Do you admit a union is a monopoly on labor?

> The software industry was a far less diverse place then. Every last software engineer at ACD was a white man, most of them younger than 35. QA was much the same except for one young woman on the team.

counter point: My 2nd job in the field, 1990, NYC, software development firm, reported to a Chinese-American woman (Cooper Union grad) and the CTO was also Asian American. My ~mentor was a Bell Labs engineer with a luxuriant white beard (so way over "35"). I also had a private office that I shared with another engineer (a young white married guy who commuted from Philly). Q/A iirc had many Indian women.
What's the CO2 in those trains? Japan tends to have great ventilation and has CO2 meters around the place.

It isn't impossible to ventilate a train well. I've been on a train with CO2 around 600 and another around 3,000. Air system design matters

However, one train in Japan did have very high levels based on a transport ministry study: https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14515055

Facebook has and continues to police its platform for illegal activity and cooperates with law enforcement. That's not to say they don't facilitate horrible crimes, but they make some effort not to. Facebook also wasn't created for the express purpose of operating drug trafficking.

Ulbricht created a website to sell drugs and made efforts not to police the platform.

It's pretty clear what the difference is between someone who makes a platform that can be used by bad actors but makes efforts to stop them, versus someone who makes a platform for bad actors and tries to protect them.
You can get lucky like myself and have a small handful of clients for over a decade. Honestly don't think I'd do consulting otherwise. I'd say the key was finding a stable industry that has been around for a long time, but at the same time is more dysfunctional when it comes to tech. So much opportunity to help them out. Often internal IT is underfunded and so focused on just keeping things running that there is a lot of room for one to differentiate themselves.

Hey HN! I've just published a new episode of Rethink Connectivity, this time all about message persistence and streaming with NATS JetStream.

In that case one must be assertive. Speaking this way does not come naturally especially to engineers.

You don't have to articulate it clearly, you don't have to know why you are making the estimate you are making. It's ok for management to push, in fact it is their job.

I suggest this book.

It helps ensure that the language standard is relevant, and it can help separate the standard committee from the compiler developers, helping bring in more interest groups to the table (since they're not entirely beholden to a single compiler dev team).
Yes bitrot is a huge problem with mechanical hard drives and media that hasn’t been read in a long time. What you write to the drive might not be what you read back five years later. That’s why ZFS is critical for systems like this where you have checksums for each block of data and can rebuild from parity if there is a mismatch
I can’t help you with the Infinite Jest comparaison. I have only read short stories by Foster Wallace, didn’t really like his style and had no interest in the themes explored in Infinite Jest so I am probably never going to try reading it.

I really like Pynchon style however. I think he perfectly nails the mix of serious and zany. Vineland is a good example. On the one hand, it’s a fairly serious book about the end of the counterculture and what the election of Nixon meant for the American dream but on the other hand it’s also a book in which a community of living-dead has its own radio station, one hundred pages in the middle of it concerns a woman training to be a lethal ninja and perfecting a delayed assassination technique and Godzilla makes a cameo and despite all of that the whole things feel coherent and properly jointed. I also really enjoy the rhythm of Pynchon sentences. I can definitely see why it wouldn’t work as an audiobook however. It’s writing you definitely have to read at your own pace.
Again, you can pay for it, but it isn’t on the terms you want.

I’m not saying you are wrong for not wanting those terms.
Yes; please people let's actually look at what happened at trial, at sentencing, and at appeal.

Here's the indictment: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao-sdny/legacy...

Page 5 of the indictment includes the murder-for-hire activity as part of the first count ("Narcotics trafficking conspiracy"). Ulbricht was convicted on this count of the indictment.

Here is Ulbricht's appeal against sentence to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/1862572.html

Ulbricht doesn't even bother arguing that the court was wrong in considering the murder-for-hire during sentencing, only that they shouldn't merit a life sentence because they probably didn't actually take place.

If this is interesting I highly recommend "The Hungry Brain".

Some other thoughts:

Obesity is not a disease of over-eating, it is a disease of managing hunger.

"Losing weight" is a terrible goal. "Changing Body Composition" is a much better goal. Specifically change the proportion of fat to muscle.

----

If your immediate answer is "Those are the same thing but with different words!!!" then here are some questions to get you thinking:

* Can you measure someone else's hunger and compare it to your own?

* What parts of hunger come from perceptions and what parts come from psychological conditioning?

* Can you survive being hungry? Can you survive starvation? How does your body know the difference?

* How does food energy relate to hunger? For CICO a Calorie is always a Calorie; is that also true for hunger?

* How do you measure progress towards a goal and how does it feel when you can't perceive progress?

* Excess body weight can put stress on your joints, but doesn't generally have any other negative effects. Excess body fat has many negative effects. A scale is cheap and consistent. Body fat monitors and measurement isn't always cheap or consistent (or accurate).
Any of my code more than 5 years old is terrible. This has always been true for me.

Intermittent fasting works well for some, but could be a danger for others. Like you, I used it to fine tune my weight until I wanted to lose and then decided to lose more via IF.

I'm not going into my life story, but I've had fast that have lasted for more than 2 weeks and have had loved ones ask me to stop. Fasting is not an eating disorder, but it can be a path to one if you are not careful. Sounds like you are. I hope others, who may not be, know this.

Cheers.
That's also a way to do it! I prefer making it explicit at the lowest level -- it's nice to be able to ask someone for a probability and know that it's accurate. It also helps them grow as people and professionals.

Sorry, but "we don't have enough evidence to claim that you did this, but we do have enough evidence to put you in jail for five years" is not a coherent perspective.

And it's not relevant anyway. Once you're acquitted, you didn't commit the crime. Hazy evidence that you did commit the crime might be something the sentencing judge can legitimately consider, but it's necessarily overruled by the fact that you didn't commit the crime, which is something the sentencing judge must consider.
> You could contrast with for example the US system, where the original intent was that the senators/representatives would represent their state, not the party. Worked well for a while.

That was (and to a degree, still is) also the intent in the British system: you would primarily represent your constituency, not your party. This is why you have constituency surgeries where you meet your constituents, maybe address some concerns, etc. which are similar to the "town hall meetings" you have in the US. The US essentially copied the British system.

I don't know how well it worked in the past as I'm not that familiar with the history; in HMS Pinafore there's already a joke about it ("I always voted at my party's core and never thought of thinking for myself at all"[1]) which is from 1880 or thereabouts, so I'm guessing not very well shrug

It's natural for like-minded people with similar ideas to gravitate towards each other and form political parties for strategic and social reasons. In the US the founding fathers set up the system to work without parties, only to found the first political parties themselves a few years later, so that idea broke down pretty quickly.

I didn’t even know I was voting on anything during my first three clicks. “Choose a color” doesn’t equate to “vote on a color” in my mind. I thought I was “choosing a color” to see its rank (and I didn’t get why it was showing me two on the page). I must be the lowest common denominator in this case.

This is what I love about NixOS users - how belligerently defensive y'all get immediately when someone pokes at your project.

> Are templated VMs contained within a few kilobytes of confif [sic] files?

Not kilobytes, but Proxmox supports sparse images so pretty small. More importantly, disk space is cheap as hell, and I value my time way more than a couple of hundred megs of space.

> Can anything in the entire system be included or excluding by tweaking these text files?

Personally I template my images with Ansible, so yes in fact anything can be included or excluded with a text file.

> Can it be used as a desktop on bare metal?

Who cares? The performance hit from a modern Type 1 hypervisor is so small as to only matter if you're also the kind of person who is tweaking obscure CFLAGS for emerge, which is to say it doesn't matter.

> ZFS and BTRFS are orthogonal

Only in that they aren't an OS, obviously, but they perform the same function (rollback) that you mentioned as a positive point for NixOS.
I was a professional developer starting about 1996, so this doesn't apply to earlier timeframes, but there were a lot of people TALKING about software engineering be a craft. In the trenches, there were a lot of people just trying to get things working. You would try to do this "the right way" (cf. how Agile is described vs how it actually works today) but a lot of it was aspirational. We were hacking things together and rushing it out the door back then as well.
No.

It's not straightforward, it's simplistic, and a way to scare people into accepting a narrative (like turning public opinion into agreeing to join Nato in some countries...)

Europe (EU/Nato) is not at risk of attack by Russia. It's not clear why Finland would suddenly be at risk.

What is happening is a continuation of the fall of the USSR when Russia lost very big and was hastily written off. Russia has somewhat recovered and is asserting its claims and interests. While we should hold firm when this clashes with our own, saying that Russia should be beaten into submission is not going to work and is only going to perpetuate conflicts.

As it stands Russia is going to take the Donbas, and it took Crimea back in 2014. So the question is where we go from there. They are not going to hand those territories back to anyone. So we need to negotiate spheres of influence backed by serious force as was the case before the fall of the USSR.

The proposal to have a neutral Ukraine was sensible provided all parties are very seriously held to their word.

Lastly, we should remember that Crimea used to be Russian until very recently and that Ukraine is very special for Russia, so it's far from obvious to me that what they are doing there means they plan to attack/invade other neighbouring countries afterwards...
The other direction is https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ , which is a CL-driven browser. It's presented as a general-purpose browser, but you can also treat it as a standalone CL with a browser front-end, and I think that's the developer's long-term goal -- a bit like how emacs is a lisp with a text editor front-end.
> Respectfully, that's a fantastic set of "rules" which will justify unconditional piracy, since no studios of any size will offer anything but a license to watch their content. That's how the market has been built.

That's clearly not true, since starting from the 70s up until fairly recently one could always buy the movies to keep for life.

> Even DVDs will fail this test.

You'll have to explain that thinking, since they don't. I buy a DVD (which is the only way I buy movies) and it's mine to keep forever. If I get tired of it, I can resell it to someone else.

i will agree with the person above/below about exercising while fasting; it feels like a light pleasure and it is healthy!

Although there tends to be a global reported price for FX, in reality it's an array of institutions enabling buying and selling.

The actual price you get for your transactions depends on who you're transacting with.

If you use a Visa or a Mastercard, generally there is fee taken by those companies, about 0.5% and then your bank may take a further cut, usually about 3%. There are many cards that don't take the 3%.

You may find that the transaction is reported to you initially near the spot price, less the 0.5%, but you'll see a different amount on your statement because the settlement of the transaction takes place at a different time (maybe 2 days later) and a different exchange rate. The reason for this is that the parties involved want to avoid exchange rate risk so they take the market rate when they actually account for the payment.

I think the underlying problem is that people assume that buying the movie means they own it like they own a DVD of a movie. Technically, a DVD also just grants you a license and doesn't "sell" you the actual movie, but you're holding the thing in your hand, and unless you physically break the DVD, you're guaranteed to be able to watch it forever, heck, you can pass it down to your grand-grand-children.

I think it's only natural that people make the same assumption when it comes to buying a movie on a service like the PlayStation store. "Buying" ultimately means "owning that thing" to people. You can put all the legalese you want in the fine print, but it's flat out fucking bullshit to be frank. You shouldn't need to be a lawyer to understand what clicking the button labeled "buy now" really does.
Whenever this is possible, I really like this approach. It emphasises what the most immediate constraint is (capacity to perform development) and forces prioritization within that constraint, rather than trying to ignore the constraint and see what happens.
> How would you encode a petabyte (for a starter) with LDPC/Turbo?

I'm fairly certain that particular problem you're asking for is solved by "fountain LDPC codes", and can't be solved by RS by any methodology.

RS is limited to its block size (in this case, 2^20 sized block), which can be "extended" by interleaving the codes (with various kinds of interleaving). But interleaving a petabyte of data is unreasonable for RS.

I admit I'm not hugely studied in practical codes, mostly just got the college-textbook understanding of them.
