> Theyre bad for the hard workers because they have to work even harder to make up for the lazy workers that arent fired.

Yea, and without any upside, so they'll eventually leave. Union power will then sort of get in a chinese finger trap situation, continually defending malaise and bankrupting the company.

Unions are destructive IMO. They're an indication of the current times. The entire society is getting into "insurance" mode because we don't have any definite ideas anymore.
WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted. WhatsApp actually uses the Signal Protocol. Probably the best protocol they could use. It's described pretty detailed in a whitepaper publicly available on the WhatsApp website: https://www.whatsapp.com/security/WhatsApp-Security-Whitepap...
I am also using it on both devices, and I also paid for it using Google Opinion Credits :) Textra is an amazing SMS app.
The moral of the story here is that HR tried to withold something they were already planning on doing to avoid paying employees more, and you think the answer is to just accept whatever management wants?

Aero might play in a tiny way at the 40-60 MPH space, not meaningfully enough.

As for tires, no actually you can go much further than this. The big detail is wear and heat caused by tire softness and pressure. Road car tires can't enable 0-100KPH much faster than 1.9s or so purely because they can't be so soft as crusing on the highway would cause excess wear(practicality), heat (Danger), and friction(Range).

Drag Racers can accelerate way faster, 0-60MPH in .8s.

This is a common fallacy.

A crash in asset price only matters if you're required to convert those assets to cash while the asset price is deflated. If you have significant assets and cash you aren't required to liquidate those assets, so a relatively short term drop in value isn't actually that important. What is more important is having liquid assets, or the ability to get loans, that allow you to buy new assets while their value is deflated.

You only actually lose if those assets actually fail, and if you have significant assets at the beginning of a recession you also likely have a reasonable spread of assets so are unlikely to actually have a significant proportion of your assets actually fail completely.

This is something people really need to understand: those "losses" reported for the extremely wealthy are only on paper - in general they have not suffered any significant permanent loss.
I've personally gone back to reading more books instead of watching more TV, and it has been more fulfilling. It doesn't work for everything I used to watch - but for my main consumption of fiction, I now prefer books/audiobooks over TV. On the plus side, the artists are supported more directly with book sales rather than circuitous route of payment involved in subscription-based streaming. It also reduces the surface area where I can be exposed to ads.
For me this is the key quote:

> Hoff never even considered patenting the microprocessor. To him the invention seemed to be obvious.

I agree with him. The microprocessor wasn’t really an invention - it was a ‘technical milestone’. Once other techniques had been mastered then it was obvious it would happen.

Credit to Hoff for spotting that a single chip CPU would work in this case but that was really about being in the right place at the right time.

On the other hand Faggin did contribute some real inventions that made the 4004 possible and actually built the thing!

It isn't within Starbucks or Apple's rights to refuse to engage with the union.

With the union having won an NLRB election, the employer is required by law to bargain with the union in good faith.

The third benefit is that you have a lot more bargaining power behind you. One employee is fungible, the entire workforce is not.
The iPod was dominant for almost a decade, without it there would be no iPhone. It is understandable to forget Galileo or Kepler once you get a Newton, but the iPod was absolutely iconic, and once again, the iTunes Store did much to eliminate music piracy.

It goes to show that once a petty crime becomes widespread and normalized among consumers, it becomes a business problem for savvy companies to take advantage. Likewise, Steam, despite its DRM and other hassles, wiped out game piracy for some time. Of course, that same form of piracy is making a resurgence, partly because the video game platform space has become balkanized, annoying users who don't want to subscribe to the stores of EA, Ubisoft, Epic, et al. Much like what we may be seeing with movie and TV content.

If everyone's not designing new products due to lack of availability of cutting-edge stuff, selling more lower-end products than usual anyways (because buyers are more cost-conscious).... then the organization may need to lay off people who are focused on high-end products so that they can spend the money elsewhere.

The people you need to grow fab and manufacturing capacity are different than the people you need to design cutting-edge new products. And the sales team you need to offer fab services to other companies is different than selling CPUs to consumers.
> However, this is only relevant during the organizing campaign. Not after, as is the case here.

Except there are unionizing efforts going on in a lot of their stores. So this is illegal for any of the stores that are currently in the progress of it, but have not yet committed to it.

Site could use some polish but IMO it's not that bad or somehow "worse" because I have ADHD. Nothing factually wrong or biased stands out. It's a standard meta-analysis that finds that most treatment theories have no or limited evidence.

I think it's beneficial overall to have the research on ADHD in one place even if it has little practical advice. While it might seem like ADHD is a very normalized condition, there's still some misunderstanding in many countries and regulatory bodies.

In the US, where ADHD is most normalized, ADHD can impact your ability to get a commercial flight license which includes recreational flying of certain aircraft [1]. It may prevent you from joining the military which many need to afford higher education [2]. Outside the US, it gets worse. Stimulant treatment in Europe is difficult and underutilized despite the evidence [3]. The strangest effect I've heard (anecdotally) was that ADHD diagnosis can increase mortgage interest rates in Sweden (or maybe it was Norway?).

It's strange that ADHD is both rejected as not-real or over-diagnosed and also treated as a severe condition by certain groups. Even if these negative effects can be mitigated by changing medication or getting a medical waiver, it discourages individuals with ADHD from applying and adds more bureaucratic cruft as a cruel joke.

I'm saying it because the NLRB has literally not been enforcing any of the labor laws. Of course Apple doesn't care. The penalties of non-compliance are also negligible.
Maybe instead the fascists in the statehouse can stop trying to disarm the citizenry.
It was a lie before, too, as their MMS support is a raging dumpster fire and when their code pukes, it just silently eats the error message, leaving one to wonder why the message wasn't sent (or received!)

This announcement totally squares with my experience trying multiple times to fix their MMS implementation. It was at that point that I stopped using Signal for SMS, since I knew it wasn't important to them
The tragedy here is that Meta employees internally use Workplace, an IMO superior product for big companies than both MS Teams and Slack.

The fact that they failed at marketing it properly and was pulled from the market is one of the many signs that things aren't working right in that company.
If only that store had some kind of, I don't know, process for labor making collective bargaining demands to establish some perks and benefits they could use.

I think this is very cool. I haven't used financial trackers lately. But I do remember one frustration I had with Mint.com was the inability to edit the categories of certain transactions in a wholesale manner and then adding rules for future instances. This was like 5-6 years ago; it could be fixed right now.
> The scary realization I had recently, is that compared to most other furniture that requires assembly, IKEA is quite easy.

1,000% this. I can only assume the people who complain about IKEA instructions and/or quality have never purchased a flat-pack furniture product from any other big stores. The assembly and quality-per-dollar are both almost always much worse.

> Also, I don't understand why hex bits for drills are not a thing.

You mean like Allen wrench heads? I expect they strip too easily, under the kind of torque even a very-tame electric driver delivers.
We don’t know if they’ve lost anything, though.

The union may ask for the extra perks next time they negotiate. until then they get what they previously agreed to.
"This is also my experience dealing with unions."

I'm sorry this happened to you. But this sounds like your experience dealing with a low-road employer, not with "unions". If you don't mind me asking, which union were you and your coworkers affiliated with?

"In one case, management wanted to purchase sit/stand workstations for employees, but HR pointed out that this was a change to working conditions and should be included in the collective bargaining negotiation. However management had already started taking measurements for the tables, so the union knew what management was intending. During the negotiations, the union decided to try and call HR's bluff and refused to ask for the workstations as a concession. So in the end, the whole plan was scrapped so that HR would have concessions available for future negotiations."

You experienced two standard union busting techniques favored by management-side labor lawyers. First, try to divide the workers to weaken their bargaining power, with the ultimate goal of portraying the workers active in the union as an unrepresentative minority. Then, blame "the union" or "labor law" (i.e. your coworkers who are active) for negative changes that are entirely their doing.

"Management is legally required to make concessions during collective bargaining"

If this is the United States we're talking about, you were misinformed. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), management has a duty to bargain over certain issues with unionized workers, but there is no obligation to make "concessions" (i.e. changes the workers find favorable).
It only takes a vocal minority and meddling by NLRB to set up a union, then all employees are bound by it whether they wanted it or not.
Well I think it's shit. It's a not-so-interesting view of the kind of perspective change you get from something like http://tom7.org/zelda/ and I resent the suggestion that the reason I don't like it is my own smallmindedness. I have many flaws but that isn't one of them.

> I wonder what the record is for a vehicle that can pick up electric energy from a tether/rail/overhead wire...though cables that can carry megawatts of energy are probably pretty heavy.

For a one-off design, those cables could be very short. You could even have a very small pantograph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph_(transport))

I am not sure the end result would be faster, though. You’ll need grip to get up to speed, and starting from a standstill, you won’t get that from aerodynamics. you’ll need mass. Take away the batteries, and you may have to add a similar mass in dead weight (could be used to add a good Faraday cage to protect the driver from mishaps with the electricity supply)
Yeah it's interesting. My entire life is held together by a fragile network of hacks to get myself to almost kinda sorta approximate normal adult behavior. I've managed to take things pretty far with that actually, but I'm very prone to falling off the rails.

Among the many many novelty-seeking obsessions I've had over the years, one of them was meditation. I got REALLY deep into it. Started doing it everyday. That was the closest thing to a miracle cure for my ADHD I've ever tried. I was just practicing two skills: awareness of the contents of my attention, and the ability to shift that attention back to an object of my choosing. At first, I'd get an hour after a 25-30 minute sit where I could just focus and do the things I wanted to do. With daily sits in the 25-60 minute range, I started to get continuous awareness of attention. It was like a superpower. I could actually listen to people when they spoke without getting excited and interrupting them, or getting distracted. So much of my life changed for the better. Then... I ran into some of the dark side of meditation. "Dark night of the soul" kind of stuff where tons of repressed emotions started involuntarily resurfacing, and I started getting tension headaches for the first time in my life. Ultimately I just had to stop.

And now I'm back to where I always was... trying to figure out what to do. Can't do stimulants because my blood pressure runs spuriously high. I need to checkout the non-stimulant meds, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
yes, but:

1. You need a _lot_ of insulation at 50kV
2. I'm no expert but I very much doubt you could run a motor at anything approaching that voltage. Current electric cars, for example, run c400V as the main motor supply. So there would need to be voltage conversion, which adds weight and bulk.

Seriously, is there any answer to that? Is it a situation where unless UBI is implemented, the entire economy crashes due to having no one able to pay for anything? Or is there some other way to make an economy function if no one has the money to afford anything and everything's been entirely automated?

I'm just curious, and I'm interested if there are any blog posts, academic papers, etc explaining what would happen here.
You may comfort yourself with believing that. Be my guest. Good day.
FWIW, Ars are citing the same Bloomberg piece the submitted blogspam is, so I'd not take that as an independent validation or clarification on the magnitude of the sackings.
Behind the scenes, to the extent significant, the third party risk when it comes to drug quality is identical and low.

Pharma charges goodRx less because it's market segmentation - they're assuming many goodRx users would otherwise just suffer without and thus generate no profit.

Some people speculate goodRx subsidizes prices by selling data. I don't find their analysis convincing as they don't explain how goodRx has data meaningfully more valuable than the data pharma already buys from other sources like pharmacies.

Everything I see in that document says employers can NOT withhold benefits for employees in the process of organizing a union. I don't see anything about withholding benefits for employees already in a union.

My understanding is that Apple has many stores starting the process of unionizing, but only the store that already has been unionized are the benefits been withheld. Apple seems to be compliant to the law you shared.

Do you mind quoting which sentence?
It's almost funny that Intel did have a foot in that market in the 2000s. They sold off XScale right before the original iPhone was released. A lot of PDAs used XScale CPUs.

I think Intel just bought into their own Wintel uber alles bullshit and couldn't even conceptualize devices with TDPs under a watt. No one could possibly do anything worthwhile without Wintel so shed everything that's not Wintel!

> I have repeatedly been unable to convince iOS users to use Signal because "I don't want another app".

Here's how I've convinced my iPhone friends. I tell them if they actually want to send pictures and videos to me that aren't potato quality they can either switch to an Android, email me, or use Signal. At this point Signal is more like a cross platform iMessage. This tends to move people over because Apple's walled garden makes group chats infeasible with mixed devices.
I am in SEIU (and also AFT and IWW, but that is a whole other deal) and this is not my experience at all. The union doesn't have any issues with management providing benefits that were not a part of the contract negotiations, hell it happened all the time during the pandemic and the union was fully on board. SEIU is about as mature as a union gets and in my experience, across three rather established unions, the Union is the people that run it, which is my case has been my fellow employees.
It would be illegal for them to withhold those benefits in those stores that have an active union campaign, but that's not what they are doing.

I'm fairly confident in this (I was a union organizer who has gone through an NLRB election), but do you have any precedent suggesting otherwise?
It'll be interesting to see how their user numbers change.

(How many current users will it drive away? Or cause to use Signal less than before?)

(How many new users will Signal acquire, because adoption network effects weren't working as well as possible, when messaging with non-Signal friends was too convenient, but now Signal users are more motivated to prod their non-Signal friends towards Signal?)

And who's going to pick up the users that Signal loses?
Indirect say of evaluation - history of core updates like DirectStorage and io_uring creation and adoption. It's nearly useless for slow/non-nvme drives, which gives us a hint that indilustry happily switched to NVMe for tasks where performance matters.
