To me, there's a world of difference between "lost at arbitration" and "is illegal." I'm saying that the rules should be clear-cut up front. To draw a comparison with another company that skirts this line: if Uber required drivers to take customer service classes before allowing them to drive people around, and especially if the drivers had to pay for those classes, that, to me, should be illegal.

When you hire a gardener to mow your lawn, you don't get to specify whether they use a Greenworks or Black & Decker mower. Or require that they pay you to train them how to trim your junipers.

In this situation, the law should be clear up front that this sort of relationship is disallowed, such that the circumstance never occurs to go to arbitration.

Walmart right now across America has figured out to make as many jobs as they need into "contract hires", from stocking the stores, order "pickers", doing deliveries, to answering customer service voice/text/email

It's insidious because I am virtually positive the people doing deliveries are making less than minimum after vehicle costs (fuel etc) There are no tips required and no fees with "walmart plus" so I bet on some deliveries the people foolish enough to work for walmart under "contract" are making less than what it cost in time and materials to get it to a customer's door.

One day there will be a lawsuit but it will be class-action so everyone will get $1 while the lawyers get millions from walmart

Congress could end this overnight but since corporations buy the laws they want, it will never happen.

Not entirely true, as SiFive has had the P550 and P650 for years, and now the P570 and P670. Those should be a lot faster and they're already available to anybody who wants to fill out an online form.

We followed a similar path and my experience was mostly the same. I wanted the fediverse to be a positive social thing in my life, I gave it a few years but in practice it felt sadly similar.

There is a line of research according to which social media create addiction [0]. When we are addicted to social media, we have less and less time for tinkering and pushing the envelope, because a sizeable part of our time is claimed by such media.

A surprisingly large number of people are wanting us to burn zero fossil fuels in 2035. I don't think they know much about fertiliser production though... (other than that they dislike it and we should use natural farming)
The Science and Religion Quiz
"That’s what makes this exciting," he added. "In this particular meteorite, you have two officially described minerals that are new to science."

That's not what "new to science" means so it is just wrong.

Edit: it gets more complex. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaliite

"Elaliite was first identified in nature by scientists from the University of Alberta who were given a 70 gram piece of the 15-ton El Ali meteorite that came to the attention of the scientific community in 2020.[2] Elaliite was named after the El Ali district in Somalia where the meteorite was found.[2]

The mineral was identified by Andrew Locock who is employed by the university as the head of its electron microprobe laboratory,[3] and classified by geologist Chris Herd.[4] Locock also identified the first natural specimen of elkinstantonite in the same sample.[5]

Synthetic versions of elaliite were produced in a French laboratory in the 1980s but could not be categorised as a mineral until they were found in nature.[3] The future of the meteorite is uncertain as it has been shipped to China presumably for sale.[6]"

So it makes a bit more sense now.
From what I've gathered it's the clowns in suits thinking that putting drivers in kernel instead of behind NDA is some kind of "competitive advantage".

Other reason is that kernel requires some minimal level of code quality and many of the closed source ones are basically "the minimum to make the customer use case work"

Yet another reason is just not wanting to bother with more than bare minimum for chip that will be in market few years and replaced with something newer
It is very hard to tease genetic factors out from socio-economic ones, but IMHO it seems plausible that a population that has been exposed to alcohol for a long time (hundreds of generations) may have been better selected for higher tolerance than a population that has been exposed only recently (a few dozen generations, and with modern technology making selection pressure lower in general).
Stability of connection might be a more preferable metric, particularly in noisy urban environments. A theory I agree with for that is to choose the non DFS band(s) (depending on desired channel width and included device compatibility) to prevent the network from hopping around at the cost of slowing down when the noise floor (other broadcasters) increase.

I perceive the lack of basic research or education on a subject as a sign of hostile intent especially when an individual creates a thread and expresses their views vehemently without proper knowledge or understanding. It's not even a topic (HN moderation) that is hard to research, he just didn't. It's also a repeating pattern he did the same with his initial submission and afterwards with this thread. 1-2 hours after he submitted the thread, he pivoted to his UX argument which makes even less sense because that's fundamentally his problem he needs to understand the site he is on, and he didn't even know about the "showdead" switch in the profile view. Which means in close to 4 years he didn't read the FAQ. How can you advocate for change if you don't even understand the system that is in place and without doing even the most basic research yourself?

Just from my experience as a cyclist in Amsterdam, crows are amazingly intelligent. They actually participate in traffic, and know the difference between bicycles, motor vehicles and light rail (they will get out of the way just-in-time for the first two, and happily ignore the latter if they're outside the profile of the train set).

Pigeons, on the other hand, are the species that gave birth to the term 'bird brain'. They will happily sit in front of oncoming traffic forever, then take evasive action that is, like, the opposite of the optimal strategy...

To me this is interesting because it may further my nagging suspicion I had for quite some time (this is not my field of expertise).

The Americas were discovered multiple times, from multiple direction, by multiple people. What order they were is only my vague guess except for the last one.

Today children are taught that the Americas was settled by people crossing the frozen Bering Sea. But, this discovery further discredits this simplistic hypothesis.

I think the Americas were settled numerous times from the Pacific Rim through boats, the Bering crossing on foot, and through more boats reasonably West Africa, and Northern Europe - all prior to Cristoforo Colombo.
3 takeaways:

* Collective action is hard, seems like good work for a startup / law firm to simplify the experience of suing for backpay, winning arbitration, navigating NLRB paperwork, etc. In exchange for 10% of the proceeds.

In the article they called one such arbitration ruling "drips and drabs" compared to their revenue. But what if the spigot opens up?

* As usual follow the money, the "links in the chain" model described is ridiculous when you see all the work performance requirements and controls are governed by the company at the top. They should be named and shamed, but also some enterprising folks should be working to pierce that veil.

* Similarly, we need to support UBI and more social programs to raise the floor for these low margin fungible worker churn buckets.

Like civilization died in all the surrounding European states? It’s a bleak wasteland of people trecking for days to reach their workplace, ravaged by wars kicked off because a spouse got tired of waiting for their husband.

Especially in a universe where droids can easily pilot ships and in fact one half of the Clone War, which was biggest war we know of in the setting was an entire droid army.

The other half was Clones which arguably could have been treated as just as disposable as the droids and also been effective suicide pilots.
I never understood why does the bicycle crowd feel the need to push everyone else to ride bicycles? We are happy for them, why do we need to join them?

I personally do not feel safe on a bike in a crowded city. Even if you took cars out of the equation. I also do not want to arrive to work/meetings sweaty and in need of a towel. It’s also very cold where I live. My car is warm.

There are numerous reasons I’m not interested in riding a bike. Yet I can’t go more than a day without someone from the bicycle church trying to give me a pamphlet.
Actually being creative requires work, a lot of it, and the people who are very creative think the work is fun or have accepted it. Best to get into a regular groove of doing your creative work on a predictable schedule.

The opposite of being bored is cultivating your interests, treating them like a garden that takes work but grows over time into a variety of wonderful things.
Yes but I don’t see it as generating entire blocks of code you’re supposed to copy and paste into your project.

It’s like a template, a suggestion from which you can build your own version.

Only rarely does it have the context or understanding of the wider codebase to do a programmers job for them.

The times when it does generate a copy/pastable function it’s usually some isolated utility function like “format date as DD-YYYY” something really simple and easy to verify. The type of stuff you’d copy entirely from Stackoverflow rather than finding a specific solution you adapt.

It’s mostly a glorified autocomplete and example suggestion service. It is not a full code writing service.

Domain expertise will obviously still be a job requirement. It’s an assistant to the programmer, not an occasional replacement for the programmer (and if you have domain expertise you usually use a 3rd party library).

Maybe future versions will try to do more but that’s not what we have today.

This is correct. msdos.sys was a text file with configuration values, which could be set to either auto-start Windows after running autoexec.bat, or not. In the former case, exiting Windows would stop at the "now safe to turn off your computer" screen. In the latter case, startup would go to a DOS command prompt, and Windows could be started from there, and exiting it would go back to DOS.

Those two cases got conflated by the ability to start Windows from within autoexec.bat, which wasn't the Microsoft default but was a fairly common setup from some OEMs. To the OS, that's the case of starting Windows separately, but to the user, it looks like the auto-starting case.

Interesting. Passengers also had at least one fairly nonsensical effect scene and some plot points that just didn't make sense. But, yeah, with some fairly modest changes it could IMO have been a notably better film. For me, it's definitely in the category of films that are frustratingly close to having all of the ingredients but doesn't pull them together properly.

The Circle is another one. If ever a film called out for a satirical take on its source material, it was that one.
As someone with an EV that is charged primarily with a level 1 charger and is currently experiencing temps below -20C, that is simply not true.

Even in "car-free" cities you'll see cars every other block, at least. It's nowhere near comparable to calling cities "horse-free".
I always wonder why the military isn’t used in these situations. Can’t they airdrop supplies easily? Isn’t there a gigantic unused workforce that could shovel people out?
Of the USAs 700 Billion yearly defense budget, we spend around 150 billion to contain Russia, and we've spent that or more since the 1950s (so over 10 trillion dollars). We aren't spending new funds to support Ukraine. Most of the 'spend' so far has been moving numbers from under 'In XYZ DoD warehouse' to 'Transfered to Ukraine' in an accounting spreadsheet. When we are sending Ukraine more than 150 billion a year and exceeding what we typically spent on containing Russia then America might START to think about the costs of this war. Maybe we should be scared the we no longer have a surplus of Javelins in case we need them to blow up Russian tanks, because they have been used to...blow up Russian tanks...but that's a hard fear to sell.
It's certainly a way to waste time, but social media is also where I've found a lot of creative partners to work on side projects with, and it's where I've found a lot of inspiration too when looking at people's art, microfiction, etc. So I feel like for me it's probably at least net neutral when I use it properly instead of just doomscrolling.

Exonerates him of what, specifically?

Were they actually under his direction? Because it seems like it was a federal law, so why exactly does that qualify as "his direction"?

> Would it have been better if NASA had chosen to honor someone else with the naming of a $10B telescope? Indisputably.

I dispute it. Not because Webb is a "better" candidate than anyone else, but because I dispute the core implication that merely existing in a time and place and following the law, with no actual evidence of wrongdoing, by itself implicates a person in some kind of wrongdoing that should disqualify their contributions from being recognized.
> The more desserts they get more likely they are to use a thermonuclear weapon in Ukraine.

I'm still confused when people assert there's any chance Putin will use a nuke in Ukraine.

I'm far from an expert on Russian politics, so I imagine I'm missing something in terms of reputation or intimidation or face saving, but I always figured that Russia wanted to own/control Ukraine, since it's a fertile, resource-rich part of the former USSR (it's a huge grain exporter; consider all the famine warnings since the war began?)

Why would they choose to destroy this thing they want to control? Using a thermonuclear weapon specifically seems really counter-productive. If I stretch I could imagine a future where they deploy some tiny tactical nuke for intimidation/escalation, but same logic applies, I don't think they want to destroy the thing they're trying to conquer, so they'd want to limit collateral damage.

Well, $10 K/yr is only fortune in Cambodia because only few people live quality life and many people have to make compromises and sacrifices.

Whenever we analyze the such case, we must consider whole group. Nobody would live in city if the quality life is poor compared other place like rural area. Yes, there are few exceptions like people like to spend money over extravagance stuff. But they represent minority.

I would say Income does indicate a measure of real wealth or wellbeing.
I’d have to find my notes on the topic, but if memory serves for the results, I was targeting 200kWh of battery with a ~1000sqft space. I can’t recall my calculations on the number of panels because I was later working on another design for mobile use with my car, but I do remember it being around $20k-$30k in panels alone to do what I wanted. Panel efficiency and price has gone down since then, so I would expect that price to be lower now. I wanted enough generation to simultaneously charge two EVs as well as be capable of heating a space. I was planning on doing all the labor myself so that is not in the numbers for cost.

All things told I was prepared to spend around $75k on electrical to make this happen in a remote location, which seemed reasonable to me given the capabilities & stability I would get in return. It is not something most people could afford, but most people here on HN probably could which is why I mentioned it.
That’s fine. But here is the analogy I use (with 5 young kids): time with young kids is amazing. It’s like sugar. It’s wonderful.

But the problem is, that sugar just keeps pouring in. More and more than you could ever eat. But you feel guilty and judged if you don’t eat it. And even if you like sweets, eventually you get sick of sugar and need something else - some time to yourself.
