> Right to work is about being able to force you to join a union to work at a place

Isn't it more accurately described as forcing a union to give you the negotiated benefits without requiring you to pay dues? I don't think anybody, on either side of the issue, is under any illusions, it is intended to break unions.

Which one are you trying to solve?
Culture is fine in the office, but enforcing outside activities is inappropriate.

E.g. previous company was full of young, attractive, single people and they loved to go out together. Fine, but I shouldn't be dinged for being older, married, and not very attractive and not being comfortable with bars and hot tubs. (Especially when any sort of friendliness towards young women is lasered in on, and not worth the professional risk)
Nearly every Rust tutorial/blog/reference I have come across uses single letter names.
I doubt a single post provides a sufficient amount of information for that.
You are right. I guess because this sort of crosses the line into "rape" and prostitution. Expectation to have sex on the job sort of straddles those lines a bit, but I see your point.

Let's say there weren't any moral hang ups and people readily put this thing in job descriptions. If you refused when offered then it's fair game if you're fired.

I have no exact answer here, but I do empathize with your angle.

Penrose's ideas are a bit more in line with what I'd bet on. So there's some kind of actual nonlocal entanglement (tiny quantum mechanical wormholes that aren't useful for communication or something like that) with a physical process that happens once the entanglement has grown large enough which causes collapse (the emission of a virtual graviton at around the fermi mass of difference between the states being something plausibly at the right kind of scale). And this should all in principle be possible to study (and there has finally been some headlines about studies that have attempted to look for these kinds of effects).

Pilot wave theory just shows that there's an alternative possible explanation for QM which doesn't have any many-worlds interpretation which is another thing which cuts the legs out from under the idea that WMI is the "null hypothesis". We don't know how to make that theory relativistic, but our lack of knowledge doesn't mean that the interpretation is wrong. We can't look at conventional Hilbert-space interpretations of QM and walk away saying that it must be correct, when there's other math that works basically the same. We picked the math that worked the best for us to make predictions, but now we're making the jump to claim that the math must be the reality which seems obvious to me to be a mixing up the map and the terrain.
> There is no reason to believe that weed smoke is any better or worse than cigarette smoke.

It is impossible to say one way or another as the internet is full of both sides of opinions. It is easy to find articles that say that weed smoking isn't as bad as cigarette smoke. I personally don't trust either side though.

But, from a logical point of view, they have very different compounds in them, so there must be some sort of difference.

The primary UX between servers is the "local feed." This is a feed dedicated to all posts within the server. You can't really access that feed from outside of a server. That's pretty much it. You can follow people on other servers, at-metnion, etc.

Starting your own server is a waste of time, imo.
I am not sure what it is about my way of stating things that is causing such severe comprehension problems for you (repeatedly). I never said that Computer Science is not deductive. In fact, the reason we even have a question over Computer Science being a science or not is that most of the things computer scientists do in practice are in fact deductive results about mathematical models. To be called a science, a field of study does however need to have a connection to the empirical world - and for computer science, C-T thesis is that connection.

Anyway, let me be the one bringing the discussion back to quantum computing this time. I don't think anybody in the world who could argue that study of entanglement - think Bell's theorem and CHSH inequality - isn't science. In fact, the 2022 Noble Prize for Physics was awarded to people who made foundational contributions on that field. I see Quantum Computing as a direct spiritual successor to that study.
The same argument could be made about companies that hire only men, or companies that hire only roman-catholic christians.

Most people don't have multiple job offers lined up, which is why it's important that employees have some protection.

And it's usually for the best of everyone. Even if you enjoy the social activities of your job, at some point you might decide not to go drinking every week, and you shouldn't be fired for that.
Not sure what that has to do with my use case. I'm not interested in what Joey from school did, you are correct. That's why i'm not on Facebook.

If Joey started creating Art in the category i'm interested in then i would be. Because i'm interested in the content, specifically. Mastodon feels a good platform to push and pull said content, when compared to Forums at least.

You seem to be arguing something entirely outside of what i'm describing. As if my use case is somehow a misguided drug addiction that i don't even have yet. Remember, i've not and never have been on FB/Twitter. How can you equate me to a cigarette smoker when i don't yet smoke?
Just FYI, it also needs 200+ GB hard disk space to install, I believe minimum GPU recommendation is Nvidia 2080 (or equivalent) with 4-6 GB GPU VRAM.

Unpopular opinion: life is too short to waste it working with people you don't like. If your team is a bunch of assholes, just find a different company that will be less miserable, shake hands and bid farewell.

I did a lot of ketogenic diets when I was younger in an attempt to shed all of the weight that comes with being raised in Appalachia. It was my experience that it was a great kickstart to a weight-loss plan for someone who was at rock-bottom health and needed fast results while not feeling like you're starving.

But I feel like it taught me to be bored with eating, and to establish a more healthy relationship with food. High-fat, mid-protein, low-carb sounds terrific for the first day or two but once you're two weeks in, you're so sick of it all that you'd just as soon drink some water and get back to whatever you're doing.
Curious what happens when an HN user inevitably wants their dead-name changed but retain their history, and whether that would be a harder path to march than being deleted for privacy reasons.

> The space around NPD on Youtube is very saturated, but this one channel really stands out

-- Dr. C is one of the few that have, imo, the discipline to orient his content around how 'narcissistIC' patterns operate whereas nearly all others fall into the trap of describing 'the narcissIST'. This is a fundamental and, for me, life-saving difference: Narcissistic patterns are hugely insidious, because they go undetected (by design) and can even become virtues. In contrast, obvious narcissIST is obvious.

-- Dr. C uses repetition to reinforce the core identifiers of the narcissistic pattern: In nearly every video he will do a sort of 'verbal footnoting' to re-re-re-state what narcissism really is...

-- ... the manipulation tactics around control. Very few Youtubers keep the focus on the narser's fundamental interest in 'control'.

-- Dr. C has by far and away the highest signal-to-noise ratio of any nars channel. Every video is in list format, but as he goes thru the items in a given video, he frames them within the larger concepts of nars patterning as a whole. In my experience, this low-level/high-level framework is absolutely crucial and generative: When you see how behaviors emerge from a system, 'new' narcissistic tactics are understood as novel approaches to the narser's standard intentions.

"Labor" in many EU countries have been manipulated into voting against their own interests on several topics (Brexit, anti nuclear energy, pro illegal immigration, anti taxes for the rich, longer working hours, etc.) to the point most voters don't care anymore.

And plus, even if the "pro-labor" leader would win elections, there's nothing that forbid him/her from following up on the election promises till the end of his/her term. They can just do whatever their campaign donors/lobbyists pay them to do as once their political career is over, they'll have a cushy job guaranteed in the private sector enterprises they "helped" during their term. It's the classic political-private sector revolving dor.

Case in point, all EU leader have promised to tackle housing, and yet, during their terms, housing has gotten more and more out of reach with each passing year, proving that your voted leaders are not on your side, they just claim they are to win your votes. German and Austrian politicians who helped kill nuclear, took major lucrative jobs in Russian oil and gas companies afterwards. The list can go on. We basically have legalized high level corruption.
Sexual harassment and racism and bullying aren't what I'm talking about. Please don't take this in a flame-war direction.

I am explicitly talking about partying and having fun in extra curricular activities with employees. I'm saying regardless of the law, it's fair for an employer to expect this of the employee ONLY IF the employee KNEW about this expectation before joining.

I make a case for this by saying how this type of stuff does in fact benefit the team overall.
It’s not that it has to be written that way. It’s that people who have grown up with it have learned that this is the way.
This is a non-problem, or at least a non-unique problem. It is the exact same thing as using variables as function parameters. Sometimes what the variable means in one place is different from another place, so... you use different names. This surprises no one except maybe first-time programmers. Sometimes a variable means nothing and we can give it a single-character name, but then we shouldn't have a bunch of them to get confused by.

Not nearly as pathetic as assuming that the 8 billion are (a) essentially fungible from a relationship standpoint (b) equally eager to engage in a relationship with anyone who likes (c) within reasonable proximity and that's just a start of the assumptions you probably didn't even do enough thinking to know that you thoughtlessly made.

On the plus side, coming in hot with a low-value comment frosted with general contempt for an entire class of people does narrow down where in the 8 billion people someone might look for rewarding companionship by at least a value of one, or provide you with the opportunity to bask in the kind of disagreeable engagement and connection you seem to have indicated you prefer, so I guess that's kindof nice.

To me the other algorithms described in the list are more novel and interesting:

https://madebyevan.com/algos/crdt-tree-based-indexing/ - for when precise order is critical, like paragraphs in a document. This algorithm is almost like storing adjacency information like a linked list, but is more convergent. Very interesting for [my use-case](https://www.notion.so/blog/data-model-behind-notion).

https://madebyevan.com/algos/crdt-mutable-tree-hierarchy/ - for tree-shaped data, like blocks in a Notion page that should have exactly one parent, but allow concurrent re-parenting operations

https://madebyevan.com/algos/log-spaced-snapshots/ - log space snapshots, for choosing what fidelity of historical information to store. For context, many CRDTs for rich text or sequences store unbounded history so that any edit made at any time can be merged into the sequence. For long-lived documents, this could be impractical to sync to all clients or keep in "hot" memory. Instead, we can decide to compact historical data and move it to cold storage, imposing a time boundary on what writes the system can accept on the hot path. The log-spaced snapshots algorithm here could be used to decide what should be kept "hot", and how to tune the cold storage.
If you're looking for a raw "benchmark" style program to measure performance of your CPU and GPU for 3D tasks, I highly recommend the open-source Blender Benchmark https://opendata.blender.org/ . It also has a bunch of existing data points for a large number of CPUs and GPUs already.
I think the broader point is to prevent them from getting in front of eyeballs in the first place. If a view of hackernews is available where paywalled content can't make it to the top, this puts the onus on people promoting paywalls to change their behavior.
> If the website serves EU users and collects any personal data then it must follow GDPR.

The EU really wants you to believe this, but national sovereignty is a real thing and I’m not aware of any law under which any country will extradite their own nationals to the EU for violating EU law. In general, you are only subject to a country’s laws if you are in their jurisdiction.

If you run a website that serves EU users without following GDPR, and you’re not a business with a presence in the EU, what exactly is the EU going to do to you? Arrest you when you vacation in Europe, maybe, but if you don’t do that, it’s not like they have a China-style firewall.
I don't understand the question.

Edit: Thank you for the clarification (reply), I was not aware of the term "dead-name" refering to that. I still am not exactly sure what you are asking though. If a replier wrote the original username in an old reply that was written before the name change? In that extremely rare case, it might cause some confusion if a third person reads the old thread, in which case perhaps the user initiating the name change could use the search function for any instances of that, and then email the HN admin?
At an old job, our per-diem was basically cash and we didn't submit receipts for reimbursement. Here's some money, whatever you don't spend, is yours to keep. Most of the guys just saw it as incentive to stay cheap and blow the extra at the bar..

So we'd stay as cheap as possible. Double, triple, quadruple up on rooms. Sleeping bag on the floor, scheduling who showers when. Learned the trick of laying a line of luggage down the middle of the bed, so if you accidentally snuggle up to something in the middle of the night, it's just a duffel bag.

I think per diem was in the $60-70/night range at the time, I don't recall exactly. But I know after a few months of working out of town, I was suddenly able to afford my next car without a loan.

But if the company tried to _require_ that? Oh, hell no. Heeeeelllllll no.
You really need to watch out for doing things like buying a social media company and firing 80% of the staff in situations like this.

One weird GDPR implication our team considered during initial implementation of our solution was US citizens traveling to Europe, and even people visiting embassies of EU countries in the US, would seemingly trigger all applicable constraints of the legislation.

Personally, I still view GDPR more akin to regulatory capture than actual consumer protections; although, I do admit, more than anything, the Internet needs more consumer protection.

This seems really compelling. I saw a few 20 acre lots for $20k or so, one even near the river. This spot seems remote but nothing like the cheap land Montana I used to look at. It seems like an interesting spot to get a plot, keep it for camping trips, have the option to build a small off-grid house or cabin once the tech improves (sat internet or availability of microwave network). It seems sunny enough in the summer months to use solar.

But given the slightly negative tone in the comments here, I sense it’s actually not a good idea. Are neighbor issues out there would be persistent and unresolvable? What are the environmental and construction restrictions? Do buildings just get ransacked often? Is there some ambiguity in ownership and limited state ability to defend your stake? I presume you can’t just build a factory but are there home size/material restrictions?
It does if you can't determine the accounts are the same. Right now HN does nothing to address these concerns. It is ridiculous anyone finds this acceptable.

Yes, it is. The violence comes in when you interfere with capitalism. It's not imposed upon you forcefully, you just aren't allowed to get in the way.

To the extent that certain aspects of capitalism lead to violence, those are elements that other parties -- generally corporations or governments rather than writers or philosophers -- added to the ideology.

People die trying to break out of non-capitalist countries, while they die trying to break in to capitalist ones. That's one possible way to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
