In my experience, what they oppose isn't unions as such, but compulsory union membership. They consider that a union should arise from the expression of worker needs, and a union that they are forced to join and that exists whether they want it or not might lack incentives to represent their needs instead of the needs of the union. It's kind of like the saying about organizations in general: eventually they come to serve the needs of the organization instead of the purpose for which they were originally created.

No, this is absolutely the wrong take.

Crypto isn't special. It can be audited, and nothing has to be invented. Coinbase has audit reports.

CSIS has published data on the rise of domestic terrorism. [1]

NYT has published data about the growth of CSAM due to tech companies. [2]

Would you engage with the point of my comment if I called the domestic terrorism non-linear growth, and the CSAM growth exponential?

I really don’t understand the push for white collar tech employees to be in unions. It’s my understanding that in most union jobs, compensation and benefits are strictly based on time in role, not performance. I try and excel in my role and others are less interested in doing so. I should be promoted faster and compensated higher.
I don't believe that. I know several conservatives who posted that shit all the time and didn't get banned.

So I've been out of Chemistry for the best part of a decade but I think the novel part of this is exploiting the fact that water based solvents are insanely efficient at propagating charge.

Here is some reading I think nay be relevant[0][1][2] but tldr thanks to the miracle of hydrogen bonding, protons/electrons can "transfer" through water by an extremely fast chain reaction of proton association/dissociation - thereby circumventing diffusion as a transfer mechanism.

Laser is a useful interface because lasers can be controlled digitally and provide a convenient way of ionising the solution, but this seems like quite a cool hack exploiting the properties of water to me.

I have mixed feelings about unions. On one hand – should workers be able to associate freely and bargain collectively against employers? Yes! But, should some groups of workers be able to impose on everyone that they must join their association in order to be a worker at X company, or an actor, or something? No, I don't see why.
Not that I saw... where did you see that?
Curious where is here for you? When you say solar plant you mean the plant itself or the panels?

What is done around here is panels go up, they have storage and anything extra gets fed back into the grid where they are paid out in the form of credit from the power company.
The rise of the paid newsletter and the prominence of the paywall leads me to be a little less cynical about the prospect of micropayments. A decade ago, when Flattr was prominent, the culture around paying for things on the internet was very different. I was initially excited about Flattr but grew disillusioned with it, and every iteration on the idea since has, as you say, never taken off...

...but more recently, the last year or so, I have actively thought, when coming across a paywalled article, "I wish I could just pay for this article". I have subscriptions to the places I read every day, but it's a hard sell to start a new expensive subscription cold.

I am quite optimistic about the future of micropayments as an upsell strategy into paid subscriptions. Essentially, if I can pay for paywalled articles individually, and I start to consume a few per month, it'll make much more financial sense to start paying for a subscription than it would to keep going through these micropayments every time.

I agree that the "sprinkle a little money towards the sites you used in the month" remains pointless. Paying $10/month for a few pennies to go to all the different sites I've visited in the month is far less compelling than paying $1 per article for 10 articles in a month I wanted to read. I haven't used Post yet, but I am quite optimistic, I think they have a real shot at making this model work.
Ben Page, the boss of Ipsos, a global research firm, points to what he terms the “loss of the future”, common across the West but acute in Britain. In 2008, as the financial crisis struck, only 12% of Britons thought youngsters would have a worse quality of life than their parents, Mr Page notes. Now that figure is 41%. As elsewhere, people worry about immigration and feel threatened by globalisation. All this makes Britain’s predicament seem less an inside job than part of a wider takedown of democracy.

It is remarkable, such a wordy article, could really begin and end with the above paragraph. We are in uncharted territory, new problems require new ideas but even now public discourse is entirely retrograde and focused on squabbling between two incompetent parties, personalities, scandals and self flagellation.

Like lemmings off a cliff.

I think I've never heard anybody in recent years even attempt to discuss the future of UK without simply falling back on whinging about Thatcher or Corbin or the sins of empire or god knows what. None of it relevant.

This analysis ignores the effects of WWII.

At the end of WWII, the USA was the only industrial economy in the world, not significantly damaged by the fighting.

If you see, the spike of worker union participation is right after the end of WWII.

Basically, for a couple of decades the USA had a monopoly on advanced manufacturing. Then as Europe and Japan caught up, there was more of a push towards efficiency as US companies faced more competition
Because some people take pride in their work, and being essentially forced to do a bad job hurts them psychologically.

I want to get up early, set big goals, work hard on them, and then see the fruits of that hard work. I take immense pride in that, and seeing the output in some sense is a big part of the payment.

Unions don’t allow for this attitude, at least none of the ones that I have ever interacted with. They’re not pro worker, they’re anti work. These people seem to believe that work is bad for workers.

So some people don’t like unions. I don’t like unions.
Aside from hosting projects under the Linux Foundation directly, LF (and OASIS, for example) also offer Foundation-as-a-Service for anybody who is ready to pay for a setup with a good (whatever that means to you) governance model. This is exactly what's happening here and I see no problem with that (unless your argument is that LF should not do Foundation-aaS at all).
I dont think so, no.
Yeah but will they charter planes with cameras and build software to process all that imagery? Drive cars around to take street level pictures, detect and blur faces? Somehow get indoor and underground mall maps? Pay armies of data cleanup ops people to make manual adjustments? Process phone location data to infer traffic conditions?

I think it's a very commendable effort but I'm not sure it can be accomplished with a collaborative potluck approach vs a very strategic investment with clear accountability.
The neoliberal publication fails to mention "neoliberalism" as a cause. Shocking. Probably the worst thing it says is this:

> For both to do so at once—as happened when, amid recent Tory convulsions, Labour was led by Jeremy Corbyn, a hard-left throwback—is a calamity.

Corbyn was only "hard-left" in the sense that he wasn't anti-labor. Lots of people like give lots of different reasons why Labor was eviscerated in the last election. The truth is, it was Brexit. Specifically, Corbyn refused to take any position on Brexit nor back a second referendum or otherwise espouse any kind of Remain position or policy.

So the 48% of voters who voted to Remain really had no one to vote for in that election and the Conservatives won in a landslide. What followed was a revolving door of PMs because the Tory vision was based on lies and unworkable. Northern Ireland seems like it will inevitably reunify with the Republic of Ireland (which I personally support in any case).

I've been skeptical that Scottish people would want a hard border with England if they vote for independence and to rejoin the EU but now I'm not so sure, particularly with a worsening economy and rising inflation. If in the next election the gap narrows and whichever party forming government needs the SNP to form a majority, a second referendum seems inevitable. Currently the Tories have a huge majority but that seems unlikely to survive.

London's position as the financial capital of Europe now seems under threat given Brexit. Lies about "saving the NHS" and protest votes about Polish immigration may well have killed the golden goose. Finance really was and is the beating heart of the UK economy.

The financialization of housing is a particularly big problem in the UK too.
For Boris Johnson truth was there when convenient, otherwise just lie. He lied to the british people. That's not the problem. The problem was too many people wanted to hear nice things so swallowed what he told them uncritically.

Liz Truss... say no more. But she was chosen (by a small subset of the population I agree) but she was chosen. Some people still think her damn-the-torpedoes policies were a good idea, even after the (rapid!) economic effect was evident.

Problem is the electorate, too many of whom who duck their responsibility of thinking for themselves.

Just my take anyway.
> will probably move to Ceph ... Every so often I look into btrfs/ZFS/mdadm, but keep reaching the same conclusion that it's just not worth the risk.

The worst thing about my experiences with mdadm and ZFS is that I've had exactly one catastrophic failure in 15 years.

The best thing about my experiences with Ceph is that it's really reinforced the importance of a good backup strategy.

The combination of the two means I now run ZFS, and I have a comprehensive backup strategy that is regularly tested, but has never needed to be invoked.

I strongly recommend developing a strong backup story before you go down your Ceph journey.
As others have pointed out, this isn't an optional thing. My understanding is to build a structure in California, it has to have solar on it. It's just part of the cost of housing at this point.

That's a fair challenge but I politely disagree.

- Brits are famously monolingual compared to the rest of Europe.

- How many senior British politicians speak a European foreign language fluently - Johnson perhaps - I can think of perhaps one or two others.

- Lots of key members of the Eurosceptic movement have deep links to the US. Hannan, Farage, Fox (he was the Brexit Trade Minister in 2019 btw so not close to decade).

- The 'Britannia Unchained' group of Kwarteng, Truss etc all looked strongly to the US.

I speak from experience in UK business and in Brussels.

It's not the only factor certainly but it's contributed.
There is a major difference when a branch of government makes these requests as compared to another business entity. Especially, the federal government. For one, it becomes more of a command than a request. The consequences for not complying is orders of magnitude greater.

It's not performative virtue signalling to push back on a lesser threat just because you are not pushing back on the greater threat. The gov't has been very good at hiding the existence of these programs. We do not know much about PRISM, so there's less to go on. You need to push back whereever it occurs. We still have no idea how widespread this is. Not to mention, it is likely going on with google, facebook, instagram as well.
Oh, I tried this on the very first day. Fed it Gnostic scripture and asked it to explain what it means. Drives it completely nuts.

Lots of criticism here about the approach, but I rather like it! I think if you can execute well on this app, it'll be a huge hit! It might be a shortcut to good writing, but who doesn't like a shortcut? Also I do believe that if you produce good writing with the help of an app, sooner or later you'll pick up on the little tricks your app frequently suggest, and you'll learn and actually become a better writer!

Actually I think it might be the best way to learn, because it'll teach you to write well in contexts that are relevant to you. Someone suggested reading fiction from good authors, but that'll teach you to write good fiction, not engineering emails. The skills might be transferable to some degree, since it is rather similar, but it's not the same thing!

Kudos on this idea, and I'd definitely pay for it if it works well enough!
I have been using OpenStreetMap (and OsmAnd). But the geocoding is terrible, and there is no traffic data.

Fun fact: when we made the app the song was of course not yet in the public domain, so I made a deal with Lehrer to trade him an iPad for the use of the song in my app. He was already talking at the time about eventually putting everything in the public domain. His main concern was to try to do it in a way that would prevent record companies from ever making money from his work.

Fortunately, I think more projects are abandoning GTK than onboarding it thanks to GTK's horrible documentation, instability, opinionatedness, and simply how much better Qt is to develop for[0], which I can only hope will gradually de-throne GNOME as "the default DE".

I'm relatively wealthy - relative to a cashier or waitstaff in any case.

My minimum tip is $2. Even for a 50cent coffee. Because I can and they could use it.

For my regular folks at the diner, I slap down however many $20's cover the bill, and if the tip is too small after that I put down another one. Because I have a relationship with these folks, they are generally struggling college students, and it's nothing to me (a few minutes of consulting fees).

I can understand that doesn't clear anything up for most folks. I just happen to be in a circumstance that permits me to do it.

As my old minister used to say "We can have all the morals we can afford." Well tipping isn't morals but I think that covers it.
Your carrots are as fresh as your reasoning analogies.
I love how android solves such problems. Instead of making the decision of whether a file manager must somehow be able to handle file picking, every application is allowed to choose whether it can do file picking. For a file manager it would probably be trivial, but the wonderful thing about this design is that it is very flexible
Is it that hard to understand that someone might be in favor of something in principle, but object to its particular implementation? Or that someone could act against their own self-interest because of a belief in a broader principle? Maybe everyone's motivation isn't to blindly follow their own micro-self-interest.
After hosting my own for 20 years or so my experience is:

The flexibility and control is worth it, as others here point out.

The early days (ha) were simple; now you need to learn a few things like SPF and DKIM, but those are pretty simple compared with figuring out why your sound isn’t working on Linux, etc.

Once you set it up it’s practically zero maintenance. Postfix and Dovecot are amazing, bulletproof programs.

I don’t jump through any hoops to get my mail delivered. My attitude is, if you’re not getting my mail, your mail service is broken, and you need to complain to your provider or find a better one.

Since setting up DKIM, etc., I have essentially zero deliverability problems. Maybe that’s partly due to the age of my domains and servers, and lucking in to a good IP. Before that I had occasional problems with hotmail, etc. See previous paragraph.

My self-hosted email is faster, better, and more reliable than the service provided by any of the big players, especially Gmail. I have a Gmail account for last-straw failover (never needed) and some mailing lists. Such a poor quality service.

In 2022 adults still communicate primarily through email. All my business is over email. It’s too important to leave to Google.
For the same reason that people oppose monopolies. Unions are effectively a monopoly on the labor market.

It's not "unusual"; using data registers for mask is a valid tradeoff especially for low-end implementations, whereas higher-end architectures can easily use shadow registers. Discussed in depth at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-v-spec/issues/811
What does inequality mean in this context?

The USSR, North Korea, and Cuba all have/had lower levels of inequality than the west...by making everyone poor. That is the easy way to reduce inequality/

What the left fails to realize is that absolute inequality doesn't matter. The real questions is the vast majority feel better off? In China, hundreds of millions are wealthier than they were two generations ago. They have increased absolute inequaliry and increased equality at the same time.

In fact, inequality as a concept is a ridiculous measure. What does equality in that context even mean? That everyone should make the same amount, no matter the ability or position? 90% of humanity would vehemently disagree with that. In fact, people try to flee countries who implement that sort of resource allocation.
> The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it loses around $50 million a year in evaded tolls on its bridges and tunnels.

I'm curious ... how much did it cost to have toll agents? And how much does it cost to have traffic enforcement check for tampered plates?

Because “Government doesn’t seem interested in solving this problem“ seems spot on.
This planning problem, or probably more accurately rent-seeking by those profiting by scarcity, seems endemic to English language countries for the past 50 years. At least with housing, which is the root of many problems, economically.

Edit: and I think that the inability to talk about this is highly connected to the lack of other honesty in politics, as well as the perpetual outrage machine that results in things like Brexit.
I think that's fair enough, but it's not like workers in the USA have a lot of protections or are getting fairly compensated for their work. So unions, whether compulsory or not, still benefit them in one way or another.
Actually since GPT is a function that takes a few thousand tokens as input and produces a deterministic probability distribution for ‘next token’, you could in theory just enumerate all possible input sequences, and precache all the corresponding results in a lookup hashtable.

That hashtable would be ridiculously larger than the weighted model that constitutes GPT itself. But it at least theoretically could exist.

GPT, for all its clever responses, could be replaced with that hashtable with no loss of fidelity. So it is not ‘better’ than a hashtable.

It is much better than a hashtable of equivalent size.
