The general framework for understanding police unions from a labor perspective is that the primary function of police is to safeguard private property rights, specifically the rights of the owning class. In that sense they are structurally opposed to all other sorts of labor unions, since labor unions threaten the maximal control of owners over the private property used (in conjunction with labor) to generate profit. Police often play a direct role in breaking strikes and harassing organizers, sometimes to the point of physical assault or murder. Police unions are permitted to exist without suppression for this reason: they support the powerful.

I see I’ve hit a nerve there - helps to confirm my suspicions.
Germany loosing WWI did contributed, but is in the "other then economical factors contributing to issues". The treaty of 1918 was punitive, but not extremely for that time. What germany planned in case they win was quite similar.

Hitler took power in 1933. And the stab in the back myth was more motivating thing for these groups then purely economic issues.

The yet other factors was Germany being heavily militaristic state, both ideologically and practically. Government employing primary military man on all levels, democracy not really functioning and being a mess. The whole country was violent mess.
Maybe he can rename it to “comcrap”? Jokes aside it’s probably better to use a less controversial name.
Given a choice between a recession and runaway inflation, a competent central banker will choose recession any day of the week. Recession makes people’s lives miserable, but inflation blows up societies.

"Watterson, of course, is Calvin, at least partly, and the refusal to agree to what his bosses wanted in terms of licensing is a demonstration of the rebellious spirit that energizes the comic strip. But at the end of the day, it is juvenile, shortsighted, and damaging. This is why becoming an adult is hard to do. Watterson made a decision that was rooted in pettiness:

"I worked too long to get this job, and worked too hard once I got it, to let other people run away with my creation once it became successful.""

In the UK we have the split between Rugby Union and Rugby League, now two distinct sports. The history of that split gets to the heart of British class distinction and is more interesting that you might at first think.

There's a good description of it here[1] but the TL;DR is:

In the South of England rugby was played by independently rich amateurs and in the North of England it was played by the working class men who needed to support themselves and their families and wanted it to become professionalised.

The groups couldn't agree and so split. With the rules of Rugby League supposedly changed to make it more appealing to paying crowd.

The problem isn't the Fed. The problem is that elected politicians use the majority of their bandwidth to bribe and advertise to voters, and dedicate relatively little time to actually improving the nation in ways that aren't obviously visible. You can't fix the government deficit, poor regulation, or inefficient government spending with exceptional monetary policy.
I don't agree. If the data is worth something, I think they owe its users a share of it. So I'd argue the users are being forced to leave money on the table and it's actually a negative transaction.

The converse of that is that you CAN stay up to date on your own time and do tech projects when things come out/make open source contributions, etc. (dependent on specialty, of course). It's also decently easy to freelance or pick up side projects, whereas some other career fields it's very much a 'you're in or you're out' thing.

Some other fields are much stricter in terms of what they'll accept for experience and/or a valid career path. Lawyers, doctors, etc. Academia's pretty punishing as well: Taking a break basically can mean adjunct hell for life depending on the discipline.

I have memories from my early childhood that I will not share with others because the only logical conclusion they could draw is that I am full of shit. My youngest daughter appears to be the same and I caution her about how it looks to others. The weird part is that my memory is at best normal in all other regards.
In the old days, there was this idea of “selling out” and we as a culture decided that it was bad. Monetizing a thing immediately called into question its integrity, and more importantly, the integrity of the artist. But then an interesting thing began happening in the late 90’s and early 00’s. The idea of selling out lost its negative connotation.

Chuck Klosterman's recent book "The Nineties" talks about this a lot! And honestly it's spot on. I had forgotten about this, and not realized how much it disappeared as a cultural concept.

https://www.amazon.com/Nineties-Book-Chuck-Klosterman/dp/073...

We all used the phrase "selling out" frequently (on the east coast of the US), but I remember one high school friend who invoked it constantly. Calling people "sell outs" (i.e. lacking in authenticity) was a common insult.

Grunge bands and in particular Kurt Cobain had almost a pathological obsession with "selling out", to the point where it had some part in his death. Even popularity was seen as a sign of selling out -- it was better to be true to your indie roots.

There are some interesting quotes in the book from Cobain and contemporaries, and the author talks about influential movies at the time that dealt with the concept.

I was never a Calvin and Hobbes fan, but it's definitely interesting and notable that the creator avoided "selling out".

While I think we were too obsessed with it back then, I think a concept that probably needs more respect today. You could even talk coherently about Google "selling out", although that concept may now be foreign to many people. There was a notion of authenticity and that you cared about the mission, i.e. organizing the world's information. But that is long gone :-(

In retrospect the obsession with "selling out" in the 90's was a reaction to capitalist values affecting more and more parts of life. Though, being a teenager, I didn't realize that, and I just said what my friends said!

It was a way to keep your peers in check. But it's sad that people don't even notice it anymore. They would wonder why you did NOT "sell out".
Agreed. I've only heard the legend in relation to land mammal carnivores.
There’s another tool called “clumsy” that I used some years ago.
> Yes, that means less for the executives and shareholders. They may have to sell some of their properties, oh dear.

Is it what usually happens when workers unionize? It seems like most of the times, the result is a higher price for the customer, at least when things go well.
The op said renewable could replace the electricity generation and load from more EV batteries. They also said it would reduce reliance on those countries. Where is the fantasy?
I suspect we're setting ourselves up for a situation similar to what happened with wildfire management - just like the firefighters of yore had many tools to fight fires with, we have many tools to fight "economic fires" - the danger being that after awhile the brush builds up so much that when a fire finally overcomes your ability to fight it, it burns brightly and forever.

Just like fires destroy, they also clean - and economic downturns do similar things, thinning out the companies that have no excuse continuing and strengthening the remainder.

Since economic policy is now dedicated to keeping the companies going vs keeping everyone housed and fed, those companies can survive the downturn and end up "too big to fail".

There's also perhaps something to be said about more and more of the "economy" being optional spending of various sorts.
> do everything they can to extract as much value out of you as a non-paying customer as possible

And that leads to a worse user experience in many areas. You use it for free but it sucks and you sacrifice your data. I'd honestly rather pay $2-4/month for a social media that doesn't suck and doesn't harvest my data.
It's one of those grey areas that comes down to the integrity of the channel owner. There are probably people who never find anything wrong with stuff they're sent to review and there are people who give honest reviews. Conflicts of interest are everywhere but it doesn't mean that a potential conflict of interest automatically translates into bias.
> That's a feature, you should be using the latest minor/patch release when developing.

You’re not wrong, but developers still need precise control about which version is pinned so they have a chance to figure out whether a bug is in their code or a regression in a dependency.

> If a dependency is constantly breaking on minor/patch releases you shouldn't be using it.

A more common example would be a dependency of decent quality, but there will still be bugs because there’s no such thing as bug-free software.
And when the inevitable issue comes up, it’s super useful to have a switch that lets you pin down the regression and helps you figure out whether it’s on you or on the upstream project to fix the issue.

> Please don't lock your dependencies to specific minor/patch versions

Even if you allow a version range of "*" in your dependency file, it may still be a good practice for your app to have the resolved version number pinned in a dependency lock file, and even commit that lock file to version control.

> Especially when you're writing a library. If you're locking to anything other than a major release or a minimum minor/patch revision when producing a library things have gone very wrong.

You’re referring to the dependency file, not the dependency lock file, right? I couldn’t agree more.
At the same time, it may still make sense for some libraries to have a lock file during the development process, and even commit that lock file to version control. You just can’t include that lock file in your release.
Can someone give the TL;DR here? What kinds of projects go on here?
Good opportunity to ask. Why choose Microsoft IIS to host a website today? Am I wrong to assume IIS is primarily for legacy systems?
Two external monitors. Even in clamshell mode with the internal screen off you can't do that.

And the M2 MacBook Air at $1200 USD is hardly entry level. It's not even the cheapest MBA Apple sells because the M1 is still available. Loads of corporations and businesses will give employees base model ThinkPad Twhatever or Dell Latitudes (that cost less than the M2 MBA and drive more than two external displays too).
Same as what happened to David Bowie after he died. His estate seemed to let everything of his be merchandised after he passed. Monopoly version of David Bowie, lunchboxes, etc... oof.
>I don't see much of a difference between calling it a Japanese cartoon and an anime. In English they're called cartoons, so I think that's a non-issue

It's a huge issue. Cartoons are silly. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are cartoons. Cartoons are for kids. Spike Speagal is not a toon. You know the distinction, please don't pretend you don't know.

>As I said to the other reply, I'm not saying cartoon = silly, I'm saying cartoon = not reality. Even if it were dubbed with serious Japanese voice acting, do you think normal Japanese people talk that way? No.

No movie or cinema = reality. Everything is made up. So this is actually a non-issue.

Second, you're not stupid. Many animes including cowboy bebop are drawn like comics. With a more realistic style. You understand this concept, please don't pretend you don't. You know exactly what I mean when I say this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=cartoon

Is less realistic then this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=spike+speagal

You see the difference visually right? If not then I can't help you. If you do see that the realism is increased in the second link, then I have to tell you, the voices also need increased realism to match or many people wouldn't be ok with it. I have a friend who is similar to you doesn't even notice bad acting, he likes shows with laughable acting like the flash on the WB. I think you might be like him.

>Cowboy Bebop has funny moments and it has serious moments, I think the funny moments come through better in the dub, and the serious moments are portrayed excellently too.

Your definition of "better" does not include good acting. Since anime is not reality and movies and basically everything you see on TV is not reality.... it seems to me you just don't care for good acting in general. It's a non-issue to you. So the shitty acting in all dubbed anime, cowboy bebop included,... you wouldn't mind seeing all the weird ass "Huh?"s and pauses I see in dubs in a Hollywood live action movie. Or is there a difference here? You tell me.

>Even if it were dubbed with serious Japanese voice acting, do you think normal Japanese people talk that way? No.

Most anime has over stylized voices. Cowboy bebop is NOT such an anime. The voice actors are realistic and representative of how real Japanese talk.

But even so the stylized voices need a certain level of realism so the japanese people can be drawn into the story. No American dub hits that level of realism at all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLmsVBgZiak

I mean if you can watch above and say the voice acting passes because it's a "cartoon" and not real I think we're just too different.
That’s a fair point, but given they invaded via Belarus the original point stands (albeit corrected).
Which then goes right back to the criticism at the top of this thread: just raise prices and kill poor people.
This is because in the last couple of decades "selling out" has become not only acceptable, not only a desirable outcome but in fact the ultimate end goal. Probably one of the key defining factors between Boomer/Gen X and Millennial/Gen Y/Z/etc. or however they are labeled.
> if what is published from time to time on media is actually true

That's a big IF. Unions were invented after the onset of the industrial revolution to combat truly unsafe work conditions in industrial settings where worker's dying was common.

OSHA did away with all that.

The current generation of "bad work condition" complaints is around getting adequate bathroom breaks.
Those sweet economists. (I’ve got my MSc in Economics ;) First off: Giffen and Veblen goods? Second off: while I’m all for the theoretical models and would even defend that institutional evolution would lead to markets representing theoretical IO markets … a local horse butcher in a Dutch town is not a profit maximizing entity. He’s got sticky and human relations on his supply side, sticky and human relations on his demand side and a finite time horizon in which the butcher takes pride in the job and firm. Ever hear seniors complain about prices rising in small stores? Store owners take that into account. Marginal local stores bordering on bankruptcy tell you that. He picks prices because all things considering that price makes sense to him.
What does "vividly recall" here? I remember different events from my past with differing levels of clarity. For almost none of them do I have a chronological memory of the event, but rather snapshots of bits and pieces, some clear and some not. I'm 47 and this has gotten worse with time. I've only been able to perfectly recall events up into my early 20s. Always thought this was normal.

ahh yes the falling euro that will probably fall even lower, what could go wrong? srsly the ECB is going to have a lot of trouble keeping the euro stable and their "new instrument" or whatever they're going to use to maintain liquidity is still going to cause a lot of inflation and continue to damage the german economy (the productive one) to support the leech countries (greece, spain, italy, others)
It would, but most of the time when I'm using backticks, it's because I'm writing myself/my team a little helper script that will never get "injected" with anything. Backticks (and the other more featured ways of doing shell commands in ruby) make it really easy to write what amounts to a Bash script, but with a little more features and readability, or pull in some relevant libraries for some more complex task that would be annoying to do in pure Bash.
IMO you can read them in pretty much any order and get 90% of it. Most of them were self-contained.

In same cases there are occasional characters, like Susie, and Calvin's perspective of her changes over time, but you can read any strip with Susie in it and probably get the message even without knowing her history in the strip.
Burning fossil fuels for energy is not something that happens everywhere. There has been important investments on clean energy all around the world, there are many countries and regions that don't rely on fossil fuels for energy. If you are worried about climate change, pushing for the use of clean energy generation will achieve more than not using AC.
I dare say in the vastness of both Apple and Microsoft, they both own not insignificant amounts of one another's products
It's hard to believe this comment is for real? Labour rights - including the right to a living wage and civil working conditions - benefit those on the minimum wage more than high-earners. It's not a zero-sum game.

> Debt is money

Please excuse my economic ignorance.

In the absence of money (or debt), we are reduced to barter. I give you a donkey, you provide me with grain for a month.

But suppose you don't need a donkey? Well, you can trade it for something you do want; so the donkey is now a medium of exchange, i.e. money. Instead of carrying donkeys around, you can instead carry some token, with the legend "I promise to pay the bearer on demand one donkey". You could even stamp a donkey's head on the token.

> if an economy is growing, it needs more money

I get that. But why does that mean the government has to print money (or buy back government bonds, or whatever)? Why does the market not automatically synthesise the means of exchange that lubricate the matching of supply and demand? Is it simply because a barter economy is inefficient? But then why doesn't a barter economy automatically produce means of exchange that are efficient?

Again, I apologise for my manifest ignorance.
Programs to encourage men to go into nursing have existed for a very long time.

Whatever nonsense you are inventing in your head is just that: nonsense. When you calm down and are out of "ridiculous baseless ranting mode" I encourage you to ask why you would spout off such utter falsehoods without first taking 10-20s to find out if you are angry at your imagination or reality.
That's because it isn't true. Trademarks since ancient Egypt have simply been a way to specify origin of a product. Laws regulating trademark are an attempt to stop consumer confusion, either by accident or through fraud, but have always been written with the interests of the producer in mind, not the consumer.

Russia can’t spend its dollars. They would very much like to buy stuff and in the process counter the one way flow of money, but mostly can’t and have to resort to black markets. Of course there’s manipulation, but it isn’t the whole story.
Nuts dont grow where I live. You have to transport them from completely different climate. Planting a lot of means changing local biodiversity for the artificially create one.
