Tegmark just made up some numbers. It's laughable.

There is something seriously wrong with the Physics department at MIT. Tegmark isn't the only charlatan with tenure in that place.
It doesn't. Equivalent definition of Unix timestamps would be "seconds since 1969-12-31 7:00 pm EST". It doesn't mean Unix timestamps have an implicit timezone of EST.
Its also not legal in Germany, in fact, its pretty impossible to legally give a bad reference.

HR departments have a workaround though - instead of a bad reference, they will simply confirm that yes, you worked there. Nothing else.

I could try to find some sources, but my guess at the best Web3 sites would probably miss the mark.
> It's more sustainable to throw away a plastic spoon that wash it.

I'm not sure what planet you live on, but I live on one with a finite amount of oil. It also happens to be a planet with beaches where I've picked up hundreds, if not thousands of these "sustainable" plastic spoons, and forks and knives and bottle caps and bottles, toothbrushes, straws, bags, and one-use containers of all kinds.

So when people talk about it being "sustainable", I admit, I fantasize about dumping a few hundred bags of this junk right on their front lawn and seeing how much they enjoy it.

In contrast, I have not once--not once--picked up a metal spoon off a beach.
For you, there will be no impact beyond having to sign the "Congratulations!" card for your colleague!

A company (an employer) rents the time and skills of employees for a particular task. It's not a pool of work that employees must struggle to achieve regardless of circumstances - it's the employer's responsibility to hire enough staff.

For example, my paternity leave (20 days or 40 half days) would not impact my colleagues. Some of them can opt into overtime, but the same labor laws also define how overtime works - as an employer, you can't order someone to work extra hours unless described in their contract (and limited to the maximum specified by law, with mandatory regular breaks). Overtime is also paid at 150% or 200% of your regular pay, depending on the day of the week and hour of the day (e.g., weekends and nights obviously cost more than daytime rates). Very few jobs are even allowed to work on Sundays.
Which in the case I described is not a big issue and basically entirely my point. 1.5 hours of sleep. Usually a killer. In the above mentioned situation it will still not be great, you'll be tired, groggy, irritable. But you won't snap at your PM for the 10th time in a row during standup and be cited to the boss' office or a formal warning or something.

As in I'm talking proper parental leave, meaning both parents can take 3-6 months off at the beginning, no questions asked, everyone is OK with it and it's totally normal. And you still get a reasonable amount of salary - in our case here in Canada from the parental leave part of E.I. meaning government guaranteed. Of course if I look at SV salaries, the maximums you can get under that program are laughable but here where we are it was totally workable at the time in our lives when we had kids.

Contrast that to what I hear about SV companies (I won't cite company names as that will draw the ire of the down voters here on HN, but I have inside knowledge i.e. new dads in such companies) where even if officially it's possible, nobody really does it. Sort of like "unlimited vacation", which sounds like it's better than the 30 days you get as a dev in most European countries but that in reality just ensures that nobody wants to be "the guy" that takes the most vacation and you still don't get more than you used to. If you were one of the "lucky ones" that had more than the minimum, you're now probably taking less time off than before.
And then add it to your newly made black and white video tape. Forgery 2022.
At least in Finland it still makes things quite ugly from cost perspective. It is not uncommon to read about cases where costs are in tens of thousand for real-estate. Probably one of the more common things to take in court.
Most of the words in the comment I replied to were dedicated to describing the economic status of the hypothetical people involved, and I think I did a good job of making it clear that that's what I was responding to.

> One wonders if slaves had other factors too.

This strikes me as deeply irrelevant and a major rhetorical escalation. My argument was that it's unreasonable to link economic discrimination and racial affirmative action.
That only applies to posts where the writer has opted in to the paywall, right? If they want their content to be free, Medium will host it for free.
Last time this happened, OP replied to the Stripe guy something like "you said the same thing when i mentioned this on HN three months ago, i emailed you, and nothing happened". So with Stripe you might well get a response here, but that's not to say you'll actually get a resolution to your problem.
What bias is it you think I have?
How far do I or can I transmit into the grid? How far do load changes from my house transfer into the grid? Surely my neighbors could detect 1us spikes not big enough to pop mains at say 800hz?
All of these can already be done with a mobile phone and only navigation could make the case that it is better with an AR HUD and even then I’m not sure I really buy it based on my personal experience doing so.

why do starbucks workers want to unionize? do they feel underpaid/overworked? are they mad the company earns billions in profit (do they?) and they only make $15-18/hr + some paid tuition perk/benefit/or whatever?

what could starbucks give these workers to not want to unionize? $25/hr? breaks every 15 minutes? what is the union promising to negotiate for the workers that they don’t currently have now?
How is it possible that the magnetic stripe encoding is a secret? Surely you can just run the card through a reader before and after taking some journeys and reverse engineer from there? Is the balance actually stored on the card, or is it just basically a primary key in a database somewhere that gets queried on each ride?
It sucks but if you want convenience, get an Apple TV and hook it to your TV via HDMI. That way the TV stays offline and you can just buy and stream media from Apple with extreme convenience and decent privacy (they aren’t selling your personal info to advertisers).

Alternatively, as far I know, your options are buy ‘n rip or pirate them.

IMO the “smart” features of basically all TVs are worse than useless and trying to copy media to the TV is a huge waste of time compared to using streaming hardware (Apple TV, Roku, etc)
This are very strong claims. Got any reliable research papers to share?

I don’t see how this can be used to “authenticate” a video. If I’m already editing the video anyway, could you filter the original hum out and replace it with the correct frequency for the time you wanted to fake? There’s got to be a margin of error anyway, so would seem very possible to fake unless I’m missing something.
I understand what you mean but I think you underestimate how critical memory is for all forms of learning (even creative work/learning).

Our working memories have a capacity of 4. This means that we basically can't understand something if it requires more than 4 pieces of New knowledge to understand. To understand more complicated things we need to move some of the knowledge into our long-term memories.

We wrote an article on this topic here that i'd love to know what you think of

https://saveall.ai/blog/learning-is-remembering
As someone who lives in the UK I've heard "reputable" mainstream media orgs talking about how global warming could / would disrupt the Gulf stream my whole my life. When I was young I remember even being taught this school and I was terrified because I thought if we didn't stop using cars we'd all freeze.

Now we're told the UK is getting hot because of climate change and you're telling me this was all just a myth?

As someone who's just a regular consumer of news it's so hard to trust anyone's predictions or reports on climate change.

So it is happening, yet "I made it up"? It is both real and made up, at the same time?
Perhaps for you it's fine. For low lying states it's not good. Turns out that's Florida too. Australia had to add levels to their fire danger charts. etc, etc... look, on the off chance that your remark was in good faith and you're really interested in an answer, try the recent Chatham House report [1], or the IPCC ones, or the US national assessment (forgot the name - google it for me will ya?)

>> which requires politicians to step in

Ironically politicians "stepping in" is the biggest reason cost of living is going up. Regulations preventing new housing, limiting new housing, etc. Monetary policies and massive debt fueled spending spree's causing massive inflation, draconian lock downs disrupting supply chains, irresponsible "climate" policies preventing farmers from growing food affordably, the 100's of other ways "politicians stepping in " to "solve" a problem in the process making everyone worse off
I think you're right about things like chain of command; most companies are hierarchical in this way. But I think there's a fallacy that's widely believed that people "at the top" see things more clearly than those... not at the "top". I think we see very little no matter where we are, and we have to rely on each other to get the whole picture. To me, this indicates that a more flat structure makes sense: I'm good at the tech thing, you're good at the budgeting thing, if suddenly you stop being good at the budgeting thing I want someone else to do it, and vice versa.
This is like saying that people who think we should welcome asylum seekers should also welcome war and other calamities that make asylum necessary.
That’s not that terrible idea - it removes some of the stigma and potentially helps ensure the program provides value rather than just being a checkbox on the way to termination.
>Humans are crazy, seeing how we're speaking about a nuclear war now vs how people spoke about it in the 60s, it's like a mass psychosis, we don't care anymore, or maybe we're too dumb to think about the horrors of something before living through it.

I too believe there is some sort of mass psychosis going on. It started before Covid, but seems to have been massively compounded by it. It has its roots in a struggle for power, both national and individual. I think that people feel that their personal power has been taken away and that they have been oppressed through inequality and subjugation to authoritarian political policies. This has had the dual effect of creating a sense of hopelessness for their futures and the idea that there isn’t a future to live for.

I think that for many individuals, the war against Russia is a proxy for their own struggles for personal power. They want to see authoritarianism lose because of their own struggle against it. If it doesn’t, what is there for them to live for? They’re willing to sacrifice all for it.
Global temperatures are up every year.
Being booked out 2-5 months ahead is typical for us. Two weeks is effectively zero notice period because you'll almost always have more remaining days of paid time off than that. If we had to account for N people being able to leave effectively on the spot, we'd not be able to sell more than 8-N persons concurrently (we're a small team), at least not more than a few days ahead. At N=1 person, that's already 13% lower turnover for the whole company.

After the trial/probation period where this notice period is not in effect, when I know what the employment is like, I'd much rather get a 13% higher salary and, should I choose to quit, wrap things up properly and do the job for 2-3 more months. (The notice period is not as long as we schedule ahead for: with 2 months' notice, we can find a good freelancer and get the paperwork done without time pressure, or the client can still find another firm in the worst case.)

Since I was fine with doing this job for years now, those months seem insignificant for the benefits that go both ways.
Israel doesn’t seem to agree with your assessment, they say that they don’t have anything in place for the current speed… what about other more lowlying areas?

Which is why you make 50% less by the way. Not dumping on the laws, which I think are great, and are probably worth it overall, but there is a cost.
A lot of it is due to lack of resources. Even Indian grads view TCS and TCS type companies as the choice of last resort. They’re still paying the same wages as they were in the early 2000s (3.5 Lakh), while ignoring inflation (3.5 lakh would be around $10k in the 2000s but only around $5k in 2022). Lots of Indian companies and western companies pay way more than that. Heck, even farming would get you a guaranteed 3 Lakh subsidy with MSP
Contradicts with freedom, free will, and bodily autonomy. People who want out should be allowed out under some circumstances. Two psychiatrists signed off in this case. How many would you need before stamping approval on someone’s wish to leave this plane of existence? Not a rhetorical question.
Basically all of Europe is arming Ukraine because Europe knows that if Russia takes Ukraine, Russia will eventually want to annex all other ex-USSR states as well. If not more.

For one thing, most companies have hard time keeping employees working for them so this 'we have hired too many good workers and now we have to get rid of them' does not happen nearly as often.
As others have pointed out, it's not a 5 year leave.
Assuming it one to two years and assuming you simply cannot afford to have more people on payroll it's completely OK to hire somebody specifically for a year or two. Not all work contracts are indefinite.

I have no kids, don't plan on having any but it's kind of crazy how 'hail corporate' some cultures are. We're humans after all. Let people spend some time with their newborns instead of forcing them to make more money for somebody 3 weeks after giving birth.
I think it's no secret that Japan has a reputation for racism, and that you have it harder as an immigrant.

Still, the board of Mitsubishi is perfectly reflective of the Japanese population (ignoring the gender ratio, which isn't great but in line with the global average for boards of directors)
> IMO income based taxation is theft....

How could income based taxation be theft unless we're considering all profit theft? Either it's immoral for someone with power over you to demand part of the value you produce or it isn't.
Some call it price gouging and some call it a subscription to professional software that's constantly under significant development. Other professional tools in adjacent industries cost a LOT MORE. Nuke Studio, for example, costs 4k/quarter.

Sure Adobe should focus more on old usability issues in lieu of new features and many of their programs have such broad userbases that they couldn't possibly focus equally on everything their users want them to focus on, but when it comes down to it, people are mad because it's something they want, but not enough to pay for. Looking at their uservoice forums for 5 minutes dispenses with the notion that they're just giving these apps the bare minimum amount of work and using them as cash cows.

There are cheaper or FOSS alternatives that suit most non-professional's needs but if you want Adobe's professional tools and have those tools keep up with our ever changing technical landscape, that costs money. I professionally use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, Acrobat, Lightroom Classic and XD, so the CC subscription is an absolute bargain.
I did not realize that I never stated that in the original article. I've updated it to be a bit more explicit. Thanks!
At the time of this map - 1956 - it wasn't part of Russia, it was a soviet republic, so at (nominally) a peer of Russia in the USSR.

(but further back, Ukraine was part of Russia for a longish period up until 1917)
Better closed source support when needed, and ZFS out of the box. It's been a while since I compared though, I'm only using prox ox (debian) for a vm server and fedora for laptop.
Better yet, shouldn't we just make everything free for everyone? Housing costs are outrageous. It would be great if houses were free. And food too. And cars and clothing. I guess the only problem is then everyone's wage would have to be $0 as well.

The only comment here that actually spoke the Facts as it is. Another commenter even said there is "systemic slavery" in India. Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the naivety of this individual. To think that 1.4 billion people, of which 80% belong to the so called "lower caste" strata, and that the rest 20% are enslaving the 80% is not only laughable but downright insane proposition. I wanted to respond but I know it is not worth spending my time and energy on such individuals.

Just goes to show how bias clouds reason and logic. Propaganda in full swing!

Thank you for speaking facts.
> But i dont agree that people should self segregate as that is another form of racism. This vicious circle needs to end.

Very true. I believe we are talking about the same thing - you are absolutely right that if we aren't self-aware of our biases, we can fall victim to our own prejudice against others (especially if we are exposed to right-wing propaganda). Unfortunately this can be a difficult thing to realise unless we are secure and at peace with ourselves (which is why right-wing politics always tries to keep society in a tense state, as their politics only work when people can't think rationally). Another issue is that people generally have social anxiety when trying to mingle with other cultures, and so they often take the easy way out of avoiding meeting people and expanding their social circle due to their personal inhibitions (let's face it, even though we are supposed to be social creatures, we humans have a tough time socialising and building relationship with others!). This is ofcourse detrimental to ourselves and our society.
In my understanding any post that refers to "Russia" as doing anything is a major fudge: the current leadership of that country clearly does not act in the best interest of that country.
It hasn't. That is what I am saying. People think it snows all the time here, it doesn't. I have lived here for 20 years, my parents lived here for decades before, the weather is largely the same (the UK has been getting warmer for about a century and a half, so the Thames used to freeze over but that stopped a long time before climate change started). This doesn't mean that climate change is or is not happening: Scotland is a tiny country surrounded by water, so the weather here tends to be unusual. In Edinburgh, for example, it will never snow in Leith but you go up to the Braids (maybe ten miles away), and there will be six foot deep drifts. Because the country is so small and so much is close to the coast, the weather is unusual.
You made up the relationship between economic status and race in this particular situation in order to strike an emotional chord. No?
This is a feature not a bug. We have a system of government designed to prevent abuse not to maximize project completion.

We like low taxes so we need voters to either directly approve a project’s budget or politicians who approve the budget need to keep getting re-elected. Politicians know that increasing taxes during their term for a project that will be completed after their term or career is a difficult sell. We Starve the Beast so we don’t have a Ministry of Transportation with career workers but rather everything is contracted out. We like federalism instead of a unitary state to avoid the problem of distant inaccessible decision makers. But then any projects that cross jurisdiction boundaries require the equivalent of negotiating a treaty. And each town controls zoning and can refuse to give up land unless they get a stop. Rural areas are overrepresented in Senates. We have environment review, lawsuits, and anti-racism laws so the little guy doesn’t get steamrolled like in the Robert Moses era. But this slows down projects tremendously.

When there is a strong mandate things get done.
> Companies are not charities created to employ people.

And employees are not charities for their employers! If you can't afford the staff needed for a given task, perhaps you should pivot to something else.
3 months I feel bit questionable still. As depending on location there might be loss of unemployment benefits.
