Correct. Which could, of course, all be defined.

- null + null === null ; list + null === list; null + list === list

- null.length === 0 /* should probably make it a runtime error to write this property, or allow it but have the result be a list with length elements, all undefined */

(Note: somewhat hilariously, null + null is already defined in JavaScript. It, of course, is 0. Wat. ;) )

Whether null and empty list should be different or the same is an old argument, and both directions lead to different problems. http://thecodelesscode.com/case/6
> World War II was a much bigger reason and a cause for this.

I'm going to stop you right there because that shows you're quite literally making this up based on feelings or beliefs. You're totally misrepresenting the history of labor unions. Labor unions were on the rise all throughout the 1800s and early 1900s.

As a Swede who emigrated to the US:

# 1: Swedish unions are very different from US ones. They understand their companies and the country needs to be competitive on the world market. I have my problems with their power and policies, but they're vastly better for society than the US version.

# 2: The Swedish unions formed the Social Democratic party, that's been the main political power center of the country for a century. Don't know what relations they may have had with guilds in the 1800s.

You would be surprised at human greed.

The Guinness joke is really hard for the model. I tried a lot of variations, it just doesn't get it on its own. After revealing the correct answer it says

> The fact that the man claims to have quit drinking while still ordering and drinking two pints of Guinness adds to the humor of the joke by creating a sense of incongruity between his words and actions.

Still only 50% there, it thinks it was funny because the man suddenly quit drinking.

Totally this.

We can't pretend that the likes of Amazon et al haven't been repeatedly caught being openly hostile and extremely agressive towards any semblance of a labour rights organization within their workforce, with union busting strategies being discussed, planned, and executed at the VP level. They went as far as executing smear campaigns in the media targeting labour representatives and activists.

No one can claim that unions are in decline due to some unavoidable law of nature when huge multinationals once led by the richest man in the world invest so much time and effort and money at the VP level to sabotage them.

>Why are we constrained to only discussing how (some, not all) unions are in the US?

In general, nobody is constrained to just discussing USA unions but the particular subthread[1] that you're in which was started by gp (Zeyka) was asking specifically about America. And that's probably because this thread's article is about American unions.

That's why your clarification (to poster wallawe) was perceived as redundant and out of place.

A lot of people are misunderstanding the article in this thread.

I work with GIS data from multiple sources. Neither Google's APIs nor OSM nor Bing nor anything else is enough for applications with high specs. You need to mix machine learning and available sources.

Doing this is a PITA. Sources rarely match one another (e.g. an object will be referenced on both Bing and OSM, but 20 meters apart, with no way of accurately matching them in the middle of a dense city).

The article very clearly says that the goals include making the existing services interoperable, which would be a big advance for API customers. (This isn't about making a new Google Maps competitor, it's about a Google Maps _API_ competitor, though it will surely help build the former too.)

Just being able to download the same area from Bing and OSM and seeing "this house has ID 234 here and 234 here, that's the same building" would be great, because that lets you gather all the available information about it instead of having to choose one or use matching algorithms that can make mistakes. It can also remove false positives, which also happen.
Time is a Wheel, Time is an Arrow
It's been plain to see for years.
It's completely "self-evident" to me that the US can never re-achieve post-WWII prosperity largely for the reasons OP stated.

It was a moment in history that will not repeated in any of our lifetimes. Anything else against this backdrop is basically a rounding error.

I was alive during the drawdown of US industrial capacity and my entire family was blue collar mostly union workers. In my teens and 20's I worked such jobs. This narrative still rings largely true to me. The amount of outright waste and fraud in these industries at the labor level was astronomical. We were begging to be outcompeted. Combined with managerial incompetence we were doomed.
Because of our first past the post system, the choice at the next election is effectively just:

Conservative. Mostly talentless crooks who are looting the country as fast as they can. But are able to present a fairly united front, no matter how much they hate each other.

Labour. A party that should probably be 2 parties. A left party and a centre party, who are unable to conceal their hatred for each other. Currently led by Starmer, an apparently decent man, but of questionable vision and political instincts.

It's not a great choice. The Conservatives deserve to lose in a landslide. But a victorious Labour party will probably spend most of it's energy fighting amongst themselves. Time for proportional representation?
> It’s amazing to see a normally anti-law enforcement HN suddenly rally to the FBI’s defense.

The problem is that people are getting at the FBI for the wrong things.

When people are concerned about petty crimes, the big ones get unnoticed.
Pushing for the expansion of NATO and promoting a regime change operation in Ukraine that resulted in a government that attempted to ban the Russian language and which had an undeniable neo-Nazi element affiliated with it was not such a good idea in retrospect, was it?

Imagine if a regime came to power in the USA, and it attempted to ban the Spanish language, eliminated Spanish-language versions of government documents, etc. Maybe many regions of the USA - such as much of the American Southwest - would not want to be ruled by such a government?

Similarly, how do you think the USA would respond to Chinese military bases and nuclear weapons being based in Mexico, or Russian military bases and nuclear weapons being based in Cuba (oh, we've already seen what kind of response that triggered, back in 1962-1963, wasn't it)?

I don't have any experience with the remarkable, but i recently got a kindle scribe and it's better than the boox ereaders/tablets i've gotten over time.

I got the Scribe for the large screen to read ebooks, but the pen and its responsiveness and feel is surprisingly good.

The thing is that sort of stuff is what builds market share and keeps it. Once you have the tools that allow you to do that level of integration then they become leverage to stay on a platform. Without it, retaining users is difficult.

I’m all for more map competition with Google, but I’m wary of what it means for correcting rural/suburban addresses.

I have a friend whose address didn’t properly exist in OSM, which resulted in packages regularly being undeliverable from Amazon and the like. I helped submit a change that mostly fixed the delivery issue. However, it’s been years and the change has never propagated to Bing, and my direct change requests to MS have been ignored.

As another example, someone/someapp decided that the road I live on should be Mystreet Dr. instead of just Mystreet. Now I run into all kinds of ‘this address looks incorrect!’ validation errors when I use the correct name. Even worse, the municipal legislation to change my street name missed some procedural steps. So, some maps, including my car’s nag, have it as Oldstreetname. This may be technically correct, but no one calls it or knows it to be Oldstreetname and Oldstreetname is definitely not on any road signs. I also have no idea what data source my car’s nav is using, so U don’t know how to correct it.

Show HN: baseline – a free, open-source journaling and mood tracking app
Hey HN! I recently released baseline, a journaling and mood tracking app for iOS, Android, and web. If you've been looking for a better journal, or just want to work on your mental health, you should check it out! It includes:

- Simple and fast journaling — just open the app and start typing.

- Visualizations to help you understand your progress over time.

- Screeners to help you better understand what you might be struggling with.

- Customizable notifications to help you build journaling into your daily routine.

- Strong privacy — personal data is encrypted with user-specific keys that I can’t access.

This app started as a personal project for my own mental health, and it really helped me out — so now here we are! Again, if you've wanted to try journaling or just want to start working on your mental health, I really recommend trying it out. I'll also be here all day to answer any questions y'all have. Thanks so much :)
Good input, thanks for raising this!

We have some more details on (future) pricing in the docs but will look into making this more visible on the website.

Those things are client-side encryption. End to end implies more than the one end. Which is a good thing. Who would want to have to compare a key fingerprint just so they could securely store files in the cloud? With client side encryption the identity management comes for free...

This is my feeling about... well, basically every "end-to-end encrypted" product. With Signal, both endpoints are Signal-controlled (yes, the apps are open source, but at least on the App Store and Google Play you can't verify that the open source code is what's shipped). WhatsApp also claims to be "end-to-end encrypted", but there the app isn't even open source so both ends are just 100% Facebook-controlled without even a facade of transparency. Same with Apple's end-to-end encrypted stuff, where everything is encrypted on their servers but for all I know they can just ask my device that's running their closed software to send them information.

I don't understand the hype around end-to-end encrypted software where you have to trust the organization behind the software to not steal your data through their complete control of the endpoints.
> The same people cheering on the FBI now would have flipped out if the FBI was engaged in the same communications with Twitter about imams preaching radical Islam

Citation needed. The vast majority of the complaints during that era were due to portraying all Muslims as radical or focusing the efforts on Muslims without applying the same standards to the far more numerous (in the U.S., anyway) Christian extremists making anti-gay, anti-black, etc. messages. Clear rules which are fairly applied are a very different level.

“By running many simulations over three main scenarios of climate until 2050 and 2100 — the so-called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we show that there will be up to 34% more co-extinctions overall by 2100 than are predicted from direct effects alone,” Dr. Strona says.

I think this is a good article for tech workers to read to provide perspective on our place in the tech economy (particularly Americans): https://organizing.work/2020/12/there-is-something-missing-f...

particularly this part:
> Early on in my own career in the industry, I felt guilty about making a “good” salary. Why did I deserve to make more money than a teacher or a nurse? Of course, I don’t — they deserve a lot more too. But if I was making less it would go straight into the pockets of investors, not other workers. Tech workers’ labor has made six of the world’s ten richest people, and today computing and the internet are an integral part of every industry. Although some workers are highly paid, the differential between investor profits and employee salary is as stark as in any other industry, because workers are not organized.

it's true that tech workers frequently make good money and we should be grateful for that, but when our industry is producing oligarchs like Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, it means that they are profiting from the things that tech workers produce. It's how inequality is increased. It's no coincidence that the rise of the tech economy has coincided with American inequality rising sharply.

A long time ago -- in a continent far, far away -- I did a back of the envelope calculation for the area of solar PV required to power Australia's total energy consumption (not just electricity, but heat, industry, and transportation too).

It turned out to be something on the order of 20% of the land area in Tasmania (the island state just off the SE shore of Oz, for those of you unfamiliar with Aussie geography).

Now, I am not for a millisecond suggesting that Aussies cover 20% of Tasmania with solar PV. But that area happened to be within about 20% or so of the estimates of roof area in the country.

Food for thought.
