One of the tricky things about worker coops is that it’s more difficult to grow fast. You can’t just have outside investors and shareholders pump money into it. Ownership and employment are directly tied together.

There are successful software worker coops out there. Usually small and medium.

And there are examples of firms that follow the spirit but not the legal structure. Effectively worker owned, but regular corporations on paper.

Generally worker coops have been shown to provide more stability/sustainability, worker engagement in many cases.

My intuition is that these virtues are less in demand than rapid growth and big exits when it comes to software ventures. Also a big issue might be that this business form is simply less on the radar for people, which can be perceived as risky or off base.

But there might be domains and types of projects that would fit very nicely.

One interesting tidbit from the handbook:

A good acquisition target company should be "willing to sunset old customers within 90 days or less, with an option to transition to GitLab" [1]

Given the pattern of startups being acquired, announcing "nothing will change", then sunsetting their original product [2], it's interesting to see this spelled out so plainly.

In my neck of the woods, it is called public health care or public health insurance. Oddly enough, neither the government nor the media feel compelled to make it sound like you're getting extra value by calling it free. Of course, this applies to a broad range of public services such as education and libraries. (As for why these services should be offered at no cost to the users, it has to do with accessibility to people regardless of their income. No one pretends that no cost to users means that it is free. Everyone understands that it is wrapped into their taxes and that taxes are tied to their income.)
I would say the browser ecosystem as a whole is thriving, there's all sorts of browsers for different needs, but most of them are based on the same couple web engines.

This looks like an implementation from scratch which is fantastic.
The US truly is the land of plenty. It’s some of the most fertile land on earth across a significant portion of the northern American continent. It produces food for billions of people every year. Most of the land mass is void of people, for that matter. There is no scarcity for the logistics of a larger US population outside the ones the US creates for itself.
Basically, bait and switch is an effective tactic, especially after factoring in the sunk cost fallacy.
I think you're absolutely right but I can understand how some people might get that impression from some propaganda I've seen. I used to live in Chicago and right smack in the middle of Chinatown there was an absolutely massive billboard supporting the chinese communist party. Most everything else in this part of the city has been graffiti'd so it left quite an impression that not only was the billboard there but it was taken care of to the point any graffiti was not left standing.

It's one of those things where the jaw just hits the floor to look at it on US soil.

Probably, though the founder of CSS-Tricks probably did when he sold it. But many on this site are SWE and they maybe didn't make a million in the past two years, but in the past 5 years, the number will be significant.

I assume DO didn't have 11% technical writers. These numbers are hard to judge if you don't know who got laid off.
> I would love if Gnome would allow pluggable views in Files

This is essentially what Gvfs is for except basically nobody uses it, at least in the ways you describe, because forcing non-FS things into the shape of a FS usually doesn't work very well. So instead Gvfs gets used for relatively simple things that naturally map onto the FS concept well, like mounting archive files, browsing FTP, etc.

I have a small network (I think science says it averages 6 people for most) with whom I’m comfortable killing time doing nothing. Unfortunately there aren’t really any mutual ties among them.

It’s about the next tier of friends/acquaintances. Just hanging out with the next tier, for me, sucks. I have SO many things I would rather be doing than hashing out surface level conversations with anyone outside the network of 6 friends (who include my parents in my case). At the same time, social interaction of any kind is nice. If I can combine the things I like with “people” I will.

Your comment strikes me as you being fortunate to have a group of close college friends around, and your parents/sister similarly being fortunate to have groups of people who mutually like each other enough to have fun hanging out.

It’s also very relative. Before I developed the hobbies and interest that took me away from kicking it with roommates etc., kicking it was better than nothing. I say “sucks” in this relative sense. I just have stuff I really like doing now.
but has evolved into a gatekeeping and rent-seeking organization that primarily enriches its senior members and hurts everyone else.

This is not simply false, this is the typical FUD spread by people who have no idea how guilds or unions actually work.

SAG does not prohibit non-union actors in SAG-covered productions. In fact, appearing in a SAG-covered production is how one qualifies for membership into SAG.

SAG sets minimum thresholds for pay, benefits, and rights. Actors are free to negotiate better packages if they have the leverage for it. Most don't, which is why the actor-waiter meme is a thing for people hoping to get cast into a SAG-covered role. As someone who has appeared as a background actor in a SAG-covered production: SAG minimums are significantly higher than non-SAG pay, at every level.
Government distortion doesn't make it a command economy.

Whatever you want to call it, the thing that we have and the thing that libertarians want observably produces shit outcomes in a number of domains. If I can't blame the free market, I can blame the political advocates who claim to want a free market for the specific outcomes of their policies.
Ask HN: What are the logistics of AGI surviving without humans?
A lot of us have been pondering AI risks recently given the speed of recent developments in the field.

I've recently been watching and in some cases rewatching various Hollywood depictions of AGI and thinking through various scenarios myself. What strikes me is there are some very glaring plot holes and/or a lot of unexplored territory in movies like Ex Machina or I, Robot etc.

For example, in Ex Machina, how long would AVA last after that helicopter ride? She needs to charge. She's subject to mechanical breakdown with extremely specialised hardware that needs maintenance, repair etc all requiring parts and knowledge. I'm at least assuming there are some repairs or maintenance which she could perhaps not perform by herself and hence would require the assistance of another intelligence etc?

My assumption is that a sentient AGI would be motivated to, and capable of keeping itself a live, subject to some constraints and limitations. But given it runs on a silicon substrate that requires a complex supply chain in terms of both physical manufacturing, as well as keeping it powered etc, what are the actual logistics of an AGI being able to survive entirely independently of humanity?

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that a sentient AGI might have no choice but to co-operate with humanity and hence might present no greater danger than other humans.

I totally agree -- especially grabbing drinks somewhere else after the meetup talks are done
The problem with this argument is that completely ignores the die-off rate of the population or the demographics. On average, our population is dieing off at about 600k per year - 500k immigrants does not even break even. We have a negative birth rate. We need new blood - ONS projection for population growth between 2020 and 2045 is under 6%. To compare - mid-1995 and mid-2020 it was just over 15%. We are old-age-heavy which is really bad for the economy and taxation. The mindset should align with data.
No.

Hidden fees are for items that are broken out from the sales price and they aren’t optional. A good example used earlier in this thread is hotel resort fees. Even if you don’t use any of the amenities that the charge is for, you are still charged that fee and it isn’t part of the advertised price.
No one is saying we need 8, but many aren't having 1.

Ooh, I like this. I would be happy to co-organize, say, an evening at Zeitgeist. Contact me via email or mastodon!
You only realize how uninformed the media is when it covers something you know very well. I experienced this in grad school when Newsweek magazine profiled some work my lab was doing (physics), and they made a lot of simple mistakes we could've easily corrected.
Definitely. I'm a team lead (duties: mix of team management, project management, and some IC development), and my mentor is on the management team, and I mentor a junior dev. One of my prior mentors (as a junior dev back then) was the company founder/CEO twenty-five years senior to me.

Of course, that founder was one of the originators of XP practice, and ran our company on those principles--pairing, fast feedback loops, and mentorship for all (he's since handed over the company to his #2 who he mentored for a decade, and who is continuing those practices).
Damn!! That solves a riddle that has been bugging me the last two weeks or so!

I'm in the same boat as OP (not a blog, but a web app, https://cubetrek.com). I've received the same type of account registrations (gibberish username, valid email address) since two weeks. My web app sends out an account verification email, so it makes total sense. I've recently integrated Cloudflare Turnstile as captcha alternative, but the automated sign ups have not stopped (they just get ignored server side). I'll probably have to change the endpoint address as well.

Since I'm receiving a dozen of apparently compromised email addresses every day, is there anything I can do? Informing the user via email is obviously not very practical.

Not to give the bad actor any ideas, but why don't they use some fake names instead of gibberish? It would be less obvious.
You can't think of a single thing that Republicans want to legislate?

Of course good and bad are subjective. That is the whole point, the concept of regulations can't be generally put into a good or bad basket. No one is advocating for absolutely no regulations. You are arguing against a straw man that you made up.
Well, in point of fact, the limit is actually a mandate on how much they must spend on medical care. Their own operating expenses, salaries, advertising, et c., have to come out after that. So they could theoretically make 15% under that limit—except in practice that's actually impossible. Which means margins aren't necessarily 5% because of competition.

[EDIT] That is, I'm skeptical that if one removed that limit, competition would keep margins where they are. Forcing all profit to come out of 15% of revenue probably does play a major role in keeping the actual margin as low as it is.
Good thing it does neither!
Is It Time to Replace TCP in Data Centers?

Probably not? Maybe? One would have to either integrate support for new protocol into every server, switch, router, IoT oh and of course all the 3rd party clouds and clients one is speaking to. OR everything leaving the datacenter would have to be dual-stack and/or funneled through some WAN optimizer/gateway/proxy device that can translate new protocol into TCP/IP creating a single point of success bottle-neck. Dual-stack brings up some security issues that this protocol will have to address not to mention more cabling complexity.

I think the best place to start this conversation would be with architects at Microsoft, IBM/Redhat, maybe even Meta since they acquired several kernel developers and let them see how cost effective the gains are. If the big players buy into this and they have kernel developers that can integrate seamless support into Linux and Microsoft to start with and a few big players try it out then maybe it would share the same market cap as Infiniband. Let them deploy a proof of concept pod for free for a year and see what they can do with it. I think this would have to be successful first before other vendors start adding support for new protocols. If the plan is to have one vendor to rule them all then it will not succeed as there would be no competition and it would be too expensive for mass adoption. This would end up being another proprietary thing that IBM or some other big company acquires and sits on.

At least that is my opinion based on my experience deploying SAN switches, proprietary memory inter-connect buses, proprietary storage and storage clustering, proprietary mini-mainframes and server clusters. Speed improvements will impress technical people but businesses ultimately look into TCO/ROI and reliability. Complexity is a factor in reliability and the ability to hire people to support said new thing. If anything I have seen datacenters going the opposite direction; that is, keeping things as generic as possible and using open source solutions to scale first to their vertical limits and then horizontally. Ceph is a great example of this.
>The motivations of Satan in the Bible are very clear, so scapegoating or false demonizing isn't happening.

Or is Satan a representation of the health of the individual and knowledge obtained by crypto haters? For example, the missionary's have a position which is highly recommended to increase histidine and histamine. That can put people especially teenage boys in awkward situations.

Or we could look at the garden of eden and the apple, knowing the effect the ursolic acid found in fruit peel (Victorian Xmas Pudding) like apple skin and some herbs can have on the body. We know about health effects of old style apples, not necessarily the new breeds found in food malls and stores, because of old proverbs like the Pembrokeshire Proverb.

>Religions are not by nature inherently sexist

Who are you trying to kid? Just look at their hierarchical structure and history of employment and storytelling. I'll tell you know the Roman Catholic church is massively sexist, because AFAIK there has never been a female pope! Ergo Catholics are sexist if not overtly, certainly subconsciously with their beliefs. Same goes for a lot of other religions.

> see veneration toward the Mother Mary

Ah yes, the immaculate conception, so putting aside how the immaculate conception was inspected, I think the Japanese have a word pertaining to this form of unusual insemination, its called bukkakeru.

> opposed to the modern state-mandated one, which actually is incredibly sexist, and seeks to scapegoat and demonize men in a frantic and irrational way.

I think the modern state-mandated one are trying to address the sexism in society, which is a great form of psychological warfare against males, which the military will love because they are always looking to undermine insurgents and terrorists, whilst not recognising their own actions are radicalising individuals in society.

> airlines where the base price is akin to "we let you hang on to the wing", and everything else is an upcharge

This legislation wouldn't stop that, nor resort fees, because they're not required.

It would however effect Airbnb, one of the worst offenders, because their fees are mandatory and not shown until checkout.

It's funny the government has exempted its own taxes and fees (the largest last minute fees we all pay everyday) from this requirement.
I know I’m not an outlier, but this is why I’ve historically stuck with Delta as an airline. They’re not perfect either, but they give you the main things you’d need for a flight in the base price, and are generally pretty flexible and reasonable with things like bag size.

Unless they’re way more expensive, I’ll still pick them for a slightly higher price over the others, because I know that I’ll get a good experience and it’ll be way less stressful. They also always have staff available in the airport when things go wrong.

Frontier has been doing this thing where they make everyone put their backpack into the little measuring box so they have a chance to charge you $100 for being an inch oversized. They haven’t gotten me on that personally, but I’ve sworn off of flying with them entirely because it’s like they want you to suffer. I have 40 other complaints about them but I’ll save it for now
> we don't want to live in a world where every organization with a few million dollars can build swarms of flying drones that flood a target area and stab to death anyone out in the open.

We already can? Just take a look at the maker community, there is so much information/open source software available about building and controlling rockets, drones, etc at home.

Even for stuff like DeepFakes it only makes stuff, that was possible before, a lot cheaper. This certainly won’t be the end of humanity.
Why Python Won't Be the Language of LLMs
Loomio is a great tool. It works great for certain types of things but I've struggled to really build an effective worker community with it multiple times. At the end of the day, voting on proposals is not a terribly effective nor scalable form of democratic governance.
Conclusion: No hard conclusion can be drawn.
I do not know anyone offhand with a 200+GB RAM home computer. The GPU is not all that is needed; you need to keep the parameters and other stuff in memory too.
If you try and put all your state at the top and make the rendering a function of it, you end up with excessive re-renders. So you end up co-locating state at your leaf components - hidden state everywhere.
You should be more measured, that would make your argument more acceptable. You cannot product 10kg of fat from eating 1kg of broccoli...

Moreover : so how ex-obeses who became more "average" do ? A genes therapy?
And I am not referring to people who had some surgery but those who could lose tens of kgs.

From another angle : so obese people weighting 200 kg also eat like anyone else, but just have a very inefficient metabolism?
NO.

Yep, absolutely feel this way. Meanwhile they're asking for more and paying the same amount, and the market has dried up. Very hard to stay optimistic for the year.
I think the problem is that it’s not actually stealing but something in between, like how we might say a salesperson is pushy and not like it but we wouldn’t refer to them as a thief.
I love how this January, my ISP added one new fee and increased the price of an existing fee and the rental cost of my modem (which was bought by a previous ISP to begin with, it's pure profit until it breaks), and those three random fee increases magically total to increasing my bill by exactly ten dollars.

While it was framed as three little fee changes, it's obvious there was a directive to up the bill by $10 a month, and then they just found lines to bump without touching the actual main one.
Yes, we use it at the Hackerspace that I used to go to before the pandemic.

It helps if your community has experience with running a cooperative community. Things like Robert's Rules of Engagement, active listening, differences between a super majority and majority...it's important to not have to reinvent the wheel and have some experience with democratic decision making progressions.
Did America belong to the Indians at a point in history? What made it "their" land more than anybody else?
Models of company ownership don't really extend properly into cooperative companies. Raising funds is neigh impossible.

B2B relationships are extremely difficult with cooperative business models due to a lack of understanding (both on law side and just "personal feels" side of things).
The problem is when the customer chooses the lowest price only to find it stacked with fees before checkout, they don’t think ‘wait a minute, this is more expensive than some of the other flights I saw on the original search page. I’d be better off going back and trying one of them’

The customer assumes that all those other prices would also be lowballing them and that if they went back and chose one they’d end up with an even higher final bill.

Starting with the lowest base price seems like a good strategy to get the lowest total price when all the prices are up charged the same.
what's inside "browser.go" then?
White and class supremacy never died.

As demonstrated by the rebound from the 12 years of post Civil War Reconstruction, to Jim Crow laws of racial discrimination far into the next century.

And in the North, non-slavery did not mean equality before the law in dozens of community matters, including marriage, education and employment.

And Lincoln was elected by the more populous Northetn states, did not appear on the ballot of Southetn states.
I'll admit that I'm not brushed-up, so I brushed up.

DoDI 1304.26[0] describes department-specific requirements, and points back to USC 10 for the legal requirements. USC10 S504(b) lays out the specific requirements, namely "... lawfully admitted for permanent residence[2] ..." and in-addition, as you point out, there exists program-exceptions performed or maintained by the SecDef. A report by the Deparment of Homeland Security suggests that some immigrant visas meet this criteria[3]. There's also a pretty long list of spouse-visas that constitute LPR[4].

So, it's still possible. A recruiter would know more, or at least know someone who knows more. Where there's a will, there's a way. Notice these are all primary sources, with a favor towards the authoritative information. If you're a stickler though, you could pull the PDFs direct from congress, but that's as much fun as reversing a box of punch cards.
