If the workers want unions… why not just let them have unions? Amazon is hell bent on suppressing worker power. Acting like Amazon isn’t doing anything wrong here is wishful thinking. We can keep pretending like the needs of the workers are immaterial to the functioning of society or we can let workers have some modicum of control over their workplace conditions. But right now Amazon is trying to crush workers rights and that’s deplorable even if you’re tired of hearing about it.
One can also consider that the state is also a party because they license and privilege corporations and stockholders.
Highly educated people in technical fields do well.

Being an immigrant isn't some magical power. Most of the successful people studied before they came here and often had educated parents who had STEM background (or money).

Not all Americans have this and so don't start companies.

We should enable smooth immigration for smart and driven people. But let's be honest about the background of these success stories.

We should also make sure all Americans have support.
I dare say that it’s annoying you as a result of cognitive dissonance about your employer paying six figures to migrate to it.

If you’re being paid well, obviously you’ll be annoyed by concepts contrary to your work.

Cities in California can't keep up with the volume of human manure deposited on sidewalks, so why not add to the problem and bring back horses instead of cars!
No dude. They are reimagining the firmware and ROMs on the mother board, and so on. I recommend looking further into it.
How much of that is because you live in one of the sprawliest cities in the US?

Of course living in San Jose would be terrible without a car. But that's because the city was designed around cars. In places like Hong Kong it's the exact opposite, you would not even want a car because the city was not designed around them - you can easily get to places without one, and things like parking/dealing with pedestrians/the cost would make it an overall terrible UX.

Also, you are not exactly not paying baggage fees or saving money on wifi. The car itself still has a lot of costs (the upfront cost or payments, insurance, gas, various bureaucratic costs, parking, potentially tolls) - it may very well be that in your situation you're still effectively saving money with the car, but it's not exactly clear-cut.

The difference? I can use those minutes doing something instead of paying attention to traffic and driving. I can read a book or get a head start on work or bum around on social media.

That doesn't make sense? K8s runs Docker images, and a Docker image explicitly is not a VM but, in fact, a lightweight replacement for a full-blown VM. Of course, running Docker on Windows or Mac OS requires a Linux VM, though.

>Just take a look at amazon warehouse worker turnover rate. No other company in the industry comes anywhere close.

But all that says is "people don't want to work on amazon". It doesn't say why they don't want to work there. The parent post made a specific claim (ie. "the workload is however much worse"), which is consistent with worse working conditions, but not proof of it.

I actually know k8 as well as another Borg-alike (Tupperware) that actually runs at Borg-like scale.

GP is absolutely right that it is insane overkill with no conceivable way to pay back the complexity investment in all but a few niche cases. Working at a FAANG isn’t the only niche where full-Kube makes sense, there are others, but it’s a niche thing, with the niche being roughly: I rack and run physical gear on a limited number of SKUs at “cattle not pets” scale.

If you’re on a cloud provider? You’ve already got secure, restartable, restorable, on-demand-growable, discoverable, fail-over-able, imaginary machines a zillion times more robust than any half-assed Borg-alike setup most people would come up with.

They’re happy to take your money if you yo dawg like imaginary computers so I put a docker in your Xen VM so you can Kubernetes while you pay me big bucks, but that’s because they’re not running charities.
Yes, a lot can be automated with CUE and it would work similarly to tfcdk, which could potentially solve a lot of multistage deployment issues by manually managing multiple dependent terraform states.

Having unified terraform state on the other hand would help with static analysis and dependency tracking.

There are also fairly interesting Operator Designs, where Kudo like operators could be replaced with the respective terraform modules in terms of consul-terraform-sync.

My struggle for unified terraform state is mostly based on this operator-replacement design possibility. It would be more flexible than Kudo and could help resolving postmortem support cases.

For instance, AWS Support tends to refuse support EKS postmortem cases when any operators had been installed to that EKS cluster... So, having no operators whatsoever has it's own "political benefit".

I disagree that it’s sensationalized. The intentions do seem to work towards neutralizing.

It is incorrect. As you state, a video/audio channel and a DOCSIS channel would look the same on a spectrum analyzer.

Here's a sweep of all the channels (from 80 to 750 MHz) on my Comcast system. This was taken back in 2014, and there were still three NTSC channels (two of which were just a black frame and silence).

MPEG-2 Transport Streams are used for DOCSIS because it's baked into the QAM specification. It's built around 188 byte packets that start with 0x47.

Tax breaks and land grants are giving Amazon a massive advantage over all local businesses.

Even if you are against labour right and purely pro-business, how is a local shop suppose to complete? You are just destroying you local businesses in favour of a multinational that pays almost no taxes. I do not understand why this practice is allowed.

That was pretty much my experience. From a distance, it looks over-engineered. Once I started using it in my personal projects and at work in production, it makes a lot of sense and it’s far easier than people make it out to be.

That would be true if people believed economists like Milton Friedman created reality instead of what was really much more mundane. Those who do so are attributing supernatural powers to a mere mortal.
That’s because the higher pay comes at the cost of peeing in bottles aka losing human dignity.

You'll need quite a lot of salt added to achieve that effect. But then, you have to consider:

- salt in high concentrations ist deadly to every lively being.

We, and all living cells or even viruses, need water as solvent for our chem-biological processes. When there are some changes in water/salt ratio - the chemical process stop working.

But that's not the problem with your idea.

Obviously, companies don't want to spend more on labor than they have to. But I doubt that's any company's major concern with unions. The issue, as I see it, is the lack of flexibility once unions take hold. Now you have a large democratic body with a lot of control over hiring and firing and with undue input about who in the company does what and according to which rules, which means, ultimately, over the company's ability to address novel challenges.

Just to take one silly example, when I worked at the phone company we weren't allowed to move our phones ourselves any time we moved desks. That was a task that by contract had to be performed by a union lineman. So a guy would show up, eventually, and unplug your phone from one desk and then plug it into another.

That kind of nonsense was in place all throughout the company. All kinds of ridiculous details were written down and enforced. The phone company barely even tries to be competitive, so whatever, I guess. You probably pay for that in your cellphone bill, but it's not the end of the world.

But if you're actually trying to be nimble and efficient, then that kind of stuff makes it a lot harder.

This is often the case.
As much as I love Rust, it really has a significant impedance mismatch at the low-level with GameDev.

Things must be initialized in Rust. Things must have a single identifiable owner. Things really want to be immutable.

Sure, you can duck these in Rust with lots of "unsafe". But, if you do that, are you really gaining anything from using Rust?
Code reuse is achievable by (mis)using the preprocessor system. It is possible to build a somewhat usable API, even for intrusive data structures. (eg. the linux kernel and klib[1])

I do agree that generics are required for modern programming, but for some, the cost of complexity of modern languages (compared to C) and the importance of compatibility seem to outweigh the benefits.

[1]: http://attractivechaos.github.io/klib
I also had a slight chuckle at this. However, I'm sure C is still a great step up from Postscript.

It is however quite entertaining to read the predictable comments from Rust/Java/C++ fans who are upset that they didn't choose their favourite language.
I have a family member who was an engineer in the Federal Highway Administration for many years. The amount of waste and excess cost on these projects is really hard to exagerate.

Comparative costs to other OECD countries for similar infrastructure - there really isn't one, as the US is way out of line in terms of cost and quality.

My family member communicated with counterparts in other countries, impressed with what they were doing. When asked what the research was that they based their projects on, they all said it was the US funded research (which the US doesn't take advantage of).
Again, Gramsci and later followers of Gramsci advocated infiltrating cultural institutions and establishing a counter-hegemony to subvert the existing cultural hegemony. That should be enough to satisfy anyone's definition of cultural marxism. Read Gramsci or any other cultural marxist if you want proof.

edit: I'll also point out that Mao's cultural revolution in China was the first implementation of Gramsci's vision of cultural marxism. There's no way to know whether Mao had ever read Gramsci, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
The 2CV was the first and last car my mother owned that had a had a hand crank start. I think we only bought it because of the Tintin related marketing material. The carburettor controls were front and centre, presumably for live adjusting the fuel richness as you ascended a Pyrenean cirque. I saw the famous twin engined version in Berlin a few years ago for a mere six figure euro price tag.

If NYC did not have subways, it wouldn’t be as dense. It would be a totally different city with respect to culture and who lives there.

Something that is often overlooked in the transit vs private car debate is that modes of transportation affect urban design and ultimately different ways of living.

Driving in a transit oriented city is totally different than riding transit in an auto oriented city.
Sure but they had much lower resources all around. Why cripple a high-performance CPU by not having RAM?
I actually think it's the opposite. We put TOO much emphasis on epiphanic breakthroughs and often incorrectly attribute major discoveries to seemingly moments of epiphany. Einstein's biggest discovery took him decades to formalize, and definitely was not a eureka moment.
More that he's a practical computer architect, producing h/w as well as s/w, and there's no sense complicating one very specific part of that —the PL toolchain— if it doesn't help build the systems he wants to build.
I think this statement is more geared towards those commuters who are walking either way, not those that are deciding between driving and public transit. With fewer cars on the road, there is a lower likelihood of those walking being hit by one.

Pragmatism and understanding your purpose is to drive value for the business.

When an engineer understands their job is to deliver value to the business as oppose to fussing over the pedantry of a specific style or framework or “perfect solution” or inventing problems that don’t exist. When they understand they can negotiate the deliverables to minimize time and maximize impact to the product while maintaining an extensible code base. That’s what makes an effective engineer. They are nearly unicorns.

Probably completely anecdote evidence, but plastic piping needs to be replaced every 20-ish years, while copper has easily last multiple decades.

20 years is fine assuming all the piping is easy to get to (e.g. around a hot water heater). A lot of piping is not and would require refinishing quite of a bit of piping.

My research seems to indicate most residential plastic tubing still has a lifetime of 20 years, from what I can tell.

This is very interesting. I’ve heard that warehouses have poor conditions, but not poor pay.

Meanwhile, the felon who gets a $15+/hour gig in an Amazon warehouse during the hardest time in their life, when no other employer in town will give them the time of day and the urges to fall back into those bad habits are creeping in, is probably not going to care much about being "used."
