Every human is unique in their skills and wants, but not their basic needs.

We all need food, healthcare, housing etc. and it's unconscionable that some jobs in the US don't provide for those basics.

If you join a union, agency is not ripped away from you, it is given to you. Alone, the fast food worker cannot demand a pay raise. Together, they all can.

Nobody is talking about "the same serving as everyone else", this is about raising the minimum serving to be reasonable so nobody has to suffer.

Agency is being taken away by capitalist exploitation, not by attempts to counteract it.

this law is also in effect in a lot of other european countries.

Remember that after World War One and during the interbellum, most european countries had massive social unrest. Giving workers representation inside the company was usually meant as a way to appease to communist/socialist voters during those times.

Mind you, this all happened before world war 2 and the iron curtain.
Sports (parimutuel) gambling is different from casino gambling. There's no "house margin", rather they simply impose a fee (percentage) on the bet.

It's why on a 1:1 bet, you'd lose money, as the sportsbook tend to take something like 10%. Even though the odds are 1:1, your $1 bet would net $0.90. ($1.90, you'd get your dollar back.)
Growing up in the Midwest, we got riverboat gambling, and watched the inevitable slide to just casinos.

For those that aren’t aware, this was the basic history.

Casinos are bad. Ban them.

Casinos are bad, but maybe profitable. Let’s have a few, but we’ll put them on 19th century style paddlewheel riverboats, and make the boat go out into the river for an hour long cruise to limit access.

Okay, the boat can remained docked, but it will still “cruise” for an hour before people are allowed on and off.

Okay, so maybe the boat can actually be in an artificial pond, that’s only about a foot bigger than the boat, as long as that “boat in a moat” is within some small number of miles from an approved gambling river. These boats will also “go cruising”, and since they are boats, they will be regulated by the US Coast Guard, and be required to have enough life jackets for the maximum occupancy of the boat, even though if the boat were to “sink” it would only fall 12 inches to the bottom of the moat.

Okay, so maybe the boats don’t have to “cruise” and people can just come and go from the gambling floor whenever they want.

Okay. Let’s just have a regular casino in a regular building, nowhere near a river.

to me it's exactly the opposite. but i've spent effort growing into this.

i carry a keyring of adapters, one good 1m $25 heavy-duty USB4 cable for connecting fancy stuff, & a regular short-ish light $8 usb3 100w cable for most daily usage. there are usb-c to anything pigtails/adapters up the wazoo: usb-a male/female, usb-mini-b, usb-micro-b, displayport male, displayport female, hdmi male, hdmi female, 20v dc barrel jack, 12v dc barrel jack. most are under $10, less than the specific cable. and a female/female c couplers for good luck/desperate times.

there's some subtle side-perks over dedicated cables to. the displayport & hdmi adapters often have power in, which means if the target is closer to power, i can run a ~2m usb-pd cable (if available) from power to target, & it shares the same extra 1m to laptop reach.

that i can carry a 100w battery that works with nearly any device is just chef kiss icing-on-the-cake/intensely better than where we were. thanks usb-c / usb-pd.

it sounds stupid, having a keyring of adapters. but i used to carry cables for everything, way too often/just-in-case. now i just carry one good cable, and a variety of jacks i can put on the end of it. it's a world of improvement to me. i'm not sure what world you lived in where one cable did it all- i always had display, power, data cables, and i also totally get how most people haven't realized how to properly/easily do usb-c with pigtails/adapter jacks, but wow, it's just night & day better to me, & i think it should be for you too.

This is misinformation. Volcanoes are responsible for less than 0.5 Gt of the global CO2 emissions a year. That's a bit less than the 50 Gt we are responsible for. Volcanoes and solar flares would have caused a slight cooling in the last 100 years, not a sharp warming we are experiencing.

There is a natural carbon cycle, which is quite balanced in that there is barely any radiative forcing, which is the difference between how much energy enters the atmosphere and how much of it leaves. Human activity amounts to all, I repeat all of the radiative forcing in the last century, and more actually, because naturally there would have been negative forcing.

You could merge PRs branches (not PRs itself) into a shadow-master branch. Every push to any PR creates a fresh shadow-master with selected (labeled) PRs's branches merged. We call this an acceptance branch. Each acceptance branch could have its coresponding staging server.

You could have several acceptance branches with different PRs merged. Each PR can be included/excluded (labeled/unlabeled) back and forth from the acceptance branch (get a fresh one on every label attach/detach)

Ukraine did not lose its air force and its also got replenished, if somebody paid attention. It continued to have air defense capacity during the whole duration of the conflict and Russia has never gained air superiority over whole Ukrainian territory and is limited to use air force only when there are no other alternative or when the possible gains appear to be very large.

Landmass that Russia has captured appears to be big, but it is mainly in the south that is very difficult to keep as there are not many big strongholds and this was the reason why the south was lost in the first place.

Reinforcement learning has an issue currently with modeling complicated aspects of an agent’s given simulation (their “world model”) over long time horizons.

This is probably because there is a vast amount of information in any given “frame” of this simulation and the agent has no baked-in priors about its environment (or if they do, it’s because they’ve been hand-programmed, which isn’t ideal in a field premised on the automation of such things).

If you instead pretrain _another_ model using the same tech as GPT3 on the agent’s environment, the agents can use this model during their simulations to model the world they see, essentially giving them something that looks kind of like common sense (although I certainly wouldn’t call it that to another researcher).

Yes, they're devoting money towards automation, but wage increases absolutely can move the needle. If you're spending a bunch of money trying to get your automation solution's costs below 130% of the cost of labor and suddenly the cost of labor jumps 40%, it instantly becomes profitable to start deploying automation instead of hiring labor.

> If it's an advantage to them, then why aren't they doing it anyway?

Because it does not sufficiently offset the advantage they get from withholding pay information from labor sellers.

As soon as it does help employers more than it hurts them, they do advertise pay. Now that labor supply has shifted so drastically that restaurants and retailers have to close early, those places are advertising pay.

The purpose of the legislation is not to help employers, it is to help employees, who are at a disadvantage due to lack of information among other things.

> I've seen this with companies like ThoughtBot and GitLab that make a big deal out of pay transparency... problem is they're being transparent about how bad their pay is.

Their pay is bad to you. Maybe it is acceptable to someone else. Maybe someone is earning $20 as a bus driver and wants to switch jobs. Maybe they would be willing to work for ThoughtBot and Gitlab’s wages and work to become qualified.

Or maybe their pay is objectively too low and they will eventually go out of business. Either way, price transparency always leads to better resource allocation and better functioning marketplaces. Letting either buyers or sellers have long term disproportionate advantages is not in society’s best interest.

Last I did benchmarking, a vast majority of memory allocations were strings that were typically all dereferenced right away and cleaned up in GEN1 GC. I had contemplated whether string pooling would be useful or not but never got around to it. Would be interesting to see if you could get reduced memory usage and potentially better performance by decreasing pressure on the GC during the GEN1 phase.

(Side note: this was when I was co-maintaining MCPC so was typically with mods installed and they heavily use NBT which I suspect is where a lot of that string allocation was happening.)

They're not illegal anywhere, AFAIK, and you can just go to a dog park, see all the pedigreed dogs, and talk to the owners to know that breeders are doing just fine.

There might be licensing rules, and a lot of the owners you'll talk to got their dogs from somewhere in the sticks, maybe for that reason.
A lot of people who own houses, pay service people of various kinds, etc. still write checks pretty regularly. There's more acceptance of credit cards and things like Venmo--which I believe have a premium to put on a credit card--but I still write checks for a lot of things in the US.

Sure the BBS ecosystem had a mostly similar feature set if you combine everything here and there but there wasn't a single product a customer could just download that had ALL the features rolled into it.

And even if there were such a product, why do you think that the $4/month in 2022 terms wouldn't have been $40/month or more, in 2000?

To me it seems intuitively obvious, much smaller adoption rate, much more niche or wealthy customer base on average, etc., in 2000, which would have made 2000Slack a boutique product.
