If the market doesn’t sustain the kind of jobs they want, how will striking help?

Striking can definitely backfire. How many UPS customers will ship with other companies during the strike? How many of them will stick with their new choice and never come back to UPS?

When a market gets disrupted like this, the worst thing the incumbents can do is refuse to accept change and double down on their old model. They need to innovate and change. I know that’s not easy, but it’s the only thing that works.
I think a $100k cabin also meets the specified criteria.

For jets, yeah, always grumbling.

Lots of complaining around the F-16, F-14 had early issues as well: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a21587/197...

Naval vessels have similarly eye-watering (or greater) price tags, but they usually don't fail so spectacularly that they sink or explode or are totally out of commission.

Problems with fighter jets are more "dramatic." If there is a problem with a jet, it either (a) crashes or (b) is effectively nonfunctional, stuck on the ground. Fighter jets also just capture the public imagination. We mythologize fighters and fighter pilots. Jets are considered "sexy" and so articles about them generate probably 10x or 100x the traffic as articles about problems with boats or rail guns or artillery or other procurements.

Also remember that there is fierce competition for those military contracts. Lockheed, Grumman, etc compete tooth and nail for them. Just a guess, but I bet the PR team at Company A is more than happy to seed the press with stories about failures by Company B.

I usually have the reverse problem: the "memorable" marketing names are vague and have no clear indication of what's newer or what's better. Sometimes each is trying to convince you it's the best[1], meanwhile the internal engineering designations (sometimes discoverable on or in the product) more commonly have a clear progression[2], despite alphanumeric soup (a 2300X -Q3N is likely older than a 2317X-1A, and both are inferior to a 2600X-PTN-J).

Seems to me, Motorola's phone names in USA went off the deep end sometime after the Moto G7, while international versions of many of the same phones retained their nice simple sequential numbering scheme.

[1] Don't get me started on people who produce n versions of something then decide to name the next version "One" (or similar) "because its the only One you need, the best One; it's The One!" (when they really mean, "Weird, people can't figure out why they should upgrade when we didn't change anything much!")…which of course just screws them when they next try to get people to upgrade. …Oh, seems I got very thoroughly started. :faceplant:

[2] Ignoring Sharp models for their phones and tablets, which can have name elements where a descending sequence in part of the name and an ascending sequence in another part of the same name identify whether this is a higher or lower model. And ignoring Apple, which decades ago decided reusing model IDs over and over is FineTM, forcing horrible things like "Well, it's a late 2015 iBook 15-inch with the <special feature that means you have a different case/keboard/camera/…> and the <special upgrade that means you have a different motherboard>".
Same thing happened to me in London, this isn't even rare it happens all the time. Ended up booking into a hotel last minute, so of course expensive and you foot the bill, not Airbnb.
In addition to the other criticisms, the F35 in DCS is a mod, and not even correctly modelled compared to the other planes.
I don't disagree with you. Some people with social media get riled up on social media. Those without I guess can get riled up in supplementary material. I assume this happened a lot more in the days when journals were basically it for scientific communication (the 17 and 18 hundreds).
“In truth, the evolution of vehicle technology has not been a good one over-all.”

Safety-wise, nothing has scored higher than new EVs like the Tesla, so there is some progress.

Infotainment-wise, that’s a different story…
Supply chain logistics and sustainment costs.

If a Canadian F35 aircraft urgently needs a spare part on the other side of the world, Canada could purchase the spare part from another F35 user in the region and not have to wait until the part is flown from the other side of the world.

Pilots from allied countries could potentially fly the same aircraft type regardless of which country owns an individual aircraft. Thus if a country is short on trained pilots, the aircraft could still potentially be piloted by an ally.

These aircraft are estimated to have a sustainment cost USD$8-10M/yr/aircraft (July 2021) or for the 88 aircraft to be procured by Canada, USD$880M/yr (July 2021). These costs would no doubt be higher if Canada were to select or develop an equivalent aircraft that only a small number of countries use as production of a completely different set of spare parts would be required for many decades. The costs would also be higher due to Canada needing to install additional or upgraded equipment during the lifespan--radios, armaments, etc. Instead of benefiting from shared R&D costs of the US and other countries, Canada would need to develop and sustain customised equipment for the aircraft themselves.

An argument against consolidation and centralisation of the supply chain would be the fragility of only having one aircraft type. Perhaps there is only one factory producing a critical spare part that is forced to halt production, or a software defect impacts all F35 aircraft of all users at once, or as a generalised aircraft it is disadvantaged against adversaries with specialised aircraft, or countries such as Canada get placed at the back of the queue by the US when it comes to production and support.

Stopped reading at "carbon capture". It does not make sense at this point. There just isn't a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere (currently ~400ppm), and it is a very unreactive molecule. Any method of extracting it from the atmosphere is fighting against entropy and adding energy to molecules would be extremely inefficient. We should use all the renewable energy we have to reduce the emissions from our grid first. For a more near-term possible mitigation of global warming, geoengineering approaches such as reflective aerosol particles make much more sense.

I used Airbnb a lot back when they first started (and I also was a younger man with more "flexible" expectations). Now that I'm older, I don't use them at all, I prefer the brand hotels with a front-desk, minimum level of service expectation, and plenty of places to complain and make noise if things are not up to snuff.

A big part has been life stage changes, but also I think there's been a decline in safety in many major cities, such that I just don't want to risk the crap-shoot of an Airbnb any more. Hotels are not perfect, but it's a known product compared to Airbnb listings.

Y’all keep learning the hard way that these unicorns are built without any concern towards these experiences. They don’t care, the rev keeps flowing. They only understand regulations and penalties. They will not improve these gaps on their own because it doesn’t move the needle.

No offense to you OP whatsoever. AirBnB is not a startup. It’s a public company with a $56B market cap that is optimizing for profit above all else, and your shitty experience unfortunately doesn’t matter to them. They won’t fix the problem until not doing so materially impacts their financials (or incurs regulatory wrath).

Stay at a hotel in the short term, push for more regulation in the long term. If this is innovation, ignore startup celebrities and start taking notes from Comcast.
On a similar but slightly different topic, I've long wondered why someone hasn't created a "Universal Terraform Provider" that can work across the major cloud services. Resources such as "instance" and network are pretty general, an while there would definitely be gotchas, it would probably be helpful in the same way that cross platform GUI frameworks have seen a rise in popularity.

"Maybe because we're playing with the 'inner stuff' of things, without really knowing it nor knowing what we are really doing."

I see in how OpenAI is playing the game of filtering inputs and outputs, they know this. They probably know they don't know precisely what they don't know about LLMs. There could be some dangerous stuff in there if you just let the thing go wild on the open Internet.

I'm not really expecting a scifi scenario, the Skynet thing and everything (just imagine how much surprised I'd be by waking up to the WWIII against an AGI). But I do think unexpected consequences are a thing to be worry with unrestrained LLMs, even if they are a light year - or a 100 - from AGI.

Automation can lead to very dangerous and even unpredectible outcomes not in systems or infrastructure, but in the real world, meat-space. Just think about Stuxnet, what could have happened if the sabotage would have been inmediately identified and precisely attributed? Could the events have developed differently than they did by thinking the incident was some freak accident?

Then you let these an unrestrained LLM produce some dangerous output, then some big geopolitical thing got badly broken somewhere really important for powers that be. Some humans think about retribution, then things start to go south really fast.

Some self-restriction in LLM is happening elsewhere, the Stable Diffusion guys did it well, just not letting the v2 thing draw "anything possible", which would include some of worst, most creepies ideas of mankind about everything, literally.

Though games that couldn't be patched weren't as complex but still at least as fun or more fun than today's games. Obviously my opinion. The article is getting at that you cannot just pop in a cart and play a game - there's ceremony with today's games. And for what? It's not a better experience. Unless that's all one knows. Then maybe it's... just an experience, I guess.

the rigamarole I had to go through so my son and I could play a Double Dragon title as a 2P simultaneous experience on my X-Box is the stuff of maximum frustration. Like, exhausting. I pine for the days of hitting the "select" button to choose "2 Player" in NES Contra's main menu and off we go, playing two player. Today, such a feat is amazing technology.
Had a very similar situation: at the airport getting on the plane and receive notification of reservation being cancelled for no reason. Airbnb offered us $50 credit to help book a new place the same day.

We ended spending more money to stay at a much worse place and the host had zero repercussions from it.

We stopped by the home while on the island and found that there were other folks staying there during our reserved dates.
This was entertaining to read and I tend to agree with the author.
Very interesting!

Did the current employee-owners get the big windfall they anticipated in that pre-IPO article?

> Mr. Kelly said that U.P.S. needed to issue stock to the public to maintain its competitiveness against rivals like the FDX Corporation, which owns Fedex; DHL and several increasingly aggressive foreign postal services that are also planning to issue stock soon.

Well... that's one story.

I wonder how working conditions and salaries changed after they went from employee-ownership to public ownership... I have a guess of course.
Its not a Switch in the article. There's also this bad trend where publishers literally leave pieces of the game off the disc/cartridge and force you to download the rest. Not a patch, the actual game.

> But it's crazy, right? Using a license designed by a direct business competitor?

No? This kind of thing happens all the time with various kinds of contracts, e.g. in finance if one bank comes up with some kind of instrument most of their competitors will try to follow the same thing. It's like asking why would you use a file format designed by a direct business competitor.
Yes, I'd like to see these plotted over time and correlated with machine failures.

> I always thought that the "colony life" parts of the special edition were completely unnecessary.

Not only are they unnecessary: they completely ruin the tension of Ripley and the marines later arriving at the colony (because we already found out about Newt), and spoils the reveal that Burke sent the colonists out to the alien crash site.

The sentry guns are just watching a boring ammo counter, and the Ripley daughter retcon is just a lazy way to smash us over the head with the motherhood themes, which are obvious on their own without being spelled out.

The theatrical release is amongst my favourite movies. I find it disappointing that the only version available these days is the director's cut; I find it entirely inferior.
This is a common scam - company rents you a property they don't own or have any right to. When you show up you're told that there's a problem of some sort and you're told you can use another of their properties. In desperation you agree. When you get to the other property it'ss much, much worse than what you paid for and basically you're paying top dollar for an unrentable dive.

Airbnb knows about this scam but hasn't done anything to stop it.

The US is spending more money on the military. [1]. Why do you think the US is growing more insular? It has donated more money to Ukraine compared to Canada. Meanwhile, the US is currently fraught with crime rates, illegal immigration, low wage, fear of recession, etc...

So, advocating for the military, especially by Canada is futile. I am sure this is just about funneling money so some people can pocket big money.

Maybe, it is better to spend money on Climate Change and Science than on the military.
I keep wondering this myself. I've never used one because I just don't get the appeal. I assumed people used it because it was cheap, and I didn't mind paying more for a hotel...but then saw it's even more expensive than a hotel!

Hotels pamper you, clean your room and towels daily, often have food and alcohol, often have shuttles to take you around, great locations, etc. AirBNB has none of that. I have to be missing something?

> I don't think you've chosen a good example.

This comment makes zero sense. Here's the part that you quoted from the OP in this thread:

>> For example, JS strings are superficially similar to an array of characters, but their semantics such as equality are completely different because strings happen to be primitives while arrays are not. [emphasis added]

Here's your response:

> How do the semantics change? They are arrays, they literally have pointers to their characters. [emphasis added]

My example provides an answer to your question, precisely as it relates to the statement you quoted. How is that possibly a bad example when it answers your exact question?
I'm curious how the f35 has such an incredibly negative perception on hacker news. Any reception I see from more military minded communities are very positive [0]. Countries that participated in the Eurofighter program are buying f35s. Ukraine has shown that cheaper previous generation fighters are relegated to pitch up lobbing missile tosses. Russia is afraid to use their modern fighters[1], and crucially, there's not that many of them since they don't scale well.

Yet hacker news can only imagine nefarious reasons why militaries would want an f35. Maybe it's because the Canadian government watched a Tom Cruise movie and acted on it rather than listen to their military advisors. Maybe they wish to display fealty to the United States rather than have a functioning military. Do they even need a military? Does a country need a military? If you were to believe hacker news, it is impossible for someone to make a judgement that the f35 is a desirable plane.

Do we have the technology to make windows that can smash from the inside but not the outside?
This works out to $50/person per year in Canada. I think we can afford that. Also, the current fleet is unlikely free to operate. We also agreed to spend 2% of GDP on defence as part of our NATO commitment and are far behind that. We should have just bought this when we originally said we were going to 7 years ago instead of cancelling and re-instating later.
Indeed, but I have no doubt they will be back yet again, when there's money to be made again.

It's been the same with each tech economic bust, but the VCs come back and offer money again. Time heals wounds.
Stop trusting shitty platforms that treat you like a product. Hotels have existed for a millenia and good hotels treat their customers very well. Of course it costs more, this is why. You essentially get what you pay for.
Airbnb reviews are well known to be unreliable because negative reviews tend to be deleted for not providing enough details, not being factual etc...

No other independent hosters are having issues. I'm on one with no more than a few dozen users. Multiple of us write in Go, including the owner of the service, and yet Gitea and the VPS hosting it have never even blinked. If there were more of an issue, there would be more of a fuss than just two individuals. And one of those individuals was completely satisfied with the temporarily hackjob while a more permanent solution has been in the works. The other just denied it with no reason ever given cause he wants to keep litigating the issue.
Rename the headline to: "Software has gotten objectively worse"

Technology on the hardware front has long track record of getting better. But the software stack running on them has gotten worse. Writing good, optimal code is no longer economical. Move fast and break things. Marketing wants new features and done quickly. They want to monetise everything, and run things on subscription model. And they want to spy on you. VC funded tech is even worse.
