>There has been zero evidence produced that counters this assertion

From what I can read a user provided you with evidence, from the National Bureau of Economic Research, fulfilling your original request for data showing unions are a net benefit in modern times. This evidence counters your assertion that unions are a net negative, so it does come across as "pro-union" in the extent it disagrees with your stated anti-union viewpoint. You have dismissed that evidence entirely on the basis that it is "a link to a pro-union think tank". That link goes to a 16 page PDF summarizing abstracts from a wide body of industry research, so I guess you have also dismissed all of those papers.

So on one hand you bring 3 examples of anecdotal evidence, and on the other hand a user provided a summary document itself linking many additional sources of research. You have declared the source non-credible by default, and then insisted nobody will provide evidence to disagree with you.

Reading this thread to try and grow my own perspectives, as I do on hackernews, I have to say I have gained little to no material information about why your view on this issue is justifiable. I don't think you're being fair to the users who are engaging you on your points, either, and I think that's costing this discussion any chance at producing useful insight.
You seem to think this is expensive, but these systems are cheap enough to save money when used infrequently by electric trains. Highways see a lot more truck traffic.

At scale this isn’t the kind of thing state or federal government needs to pay for out of pocket, it’s a revenue generating opportunity like total roads and can be financed as such.

It’s a classic chicken and egg problem where you need enough miles of electrified highways to convince people to buy new or modify old trucks. Realistically if hot swapping batteries or hydrogen was the cheaper alternative that’s the correct infrastructure to build.

Passenger rail largely failed because of the last mile problem, but here batteries solves the issue. A mile of electric highway can easily let you drive several miles of non electric roads.
Given that I invoke GNU Units far more often than I install it, yes, I referred to the command name.

It's trivial to find the actual package name using 'brew list | grep units'.

> Not sure why the AI community has a weird obsession with being non-profit (or not)

A lot of times, I find the obsession isn’t a desire for collaboration or anything noble, it’s as simple as this: people want to use the end products for free or very cheaply.

It's funny cuz the leetcode grinder also learns that "asking clarifying questions" is part of the right answer structure too. So the cat-&-mouse game becomes more nuanced, but I do agree that it usually does become apparent that less-experienced candidates are _blindly_ following a strategy they learned somewhere. Interestingly this is not _inherently_ wrong since if you think about it, don't experienced people do the same thing? playbooks and checklists etc.

But TLDR: the hollowness of each step of the approach does become apparent in my experience.

Exactly. A manager sitting by and letting their reports do whatever they want is hardly a worst case scenario. So many are actively sabotaging the work their team does.
> Science is based on chasing the gods out of natures.

This is very poetic, but it's incorrect. The divide between religion and science is largely historical, not inherent. Latour was mentioned and is a great read, and I'd also recommend Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions which characterizes knowledge and how we refine it. It doesn't really talk about gods all that much.

I have had a hard time squaring how contagious it is by external evidence, with how non contagious it is within family units. I finally started seeing families where it would hit everyone in the family, but there are tons of examples of it not spreading to everyone. Which is practically unheard of for this style of virus. This is particularly pronounced when it comes to kid sicknesses. For the most part, you can just ask if other kids are getting sick to know if your is about to. Covid? We literally carpooled with families and did not catch it from them. Just, how?
If you think those are bad, try looking at the junk mail retirement-aged people get. My parents get "official" looking notices about owing money or being owed a lot of money, offers to reverse mortgage their house for a "retirement nest egg" without using the term reverse mortgage, and for different scam insurance plans that don't cover anything worth covering.

If they ever went through with the offers they get in the mail, they'd be homeless, without insurance, cashless and asset-less within a year.

They get that kind of junk mail literally everyday.
As far as I know, Jane Bennett and I have never met. But we've gotten lost in some of the same places, and found some of the same things there. People who haven't don't know what they're missing, and I mean that in the literal sense; I don't expect anyone so impoverished to understand all of what she's saying, or of what I'm saying when I talk about the marks this town has made on me in the near quarter century and counting it's been my home - some of them in, and by, Druid Hill Park itself.

Such thinking is largely in bad odor among the sorts of people who tend to congregate here. Who cares? Who should? There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in their philosophy.

I’m a technical PM looking for opportunities in fast paced, startup environments. I thrive working closely with engineers and the business on complex, technical products. I have experience owning both sides of product development, as an IC as well as people leader/mentor.

I have successfully launched products in a few spaces, primarily B2B SaaS, and am looking for a fresh challenge. I’m happy to discuss my experience and any potentially aligned role further!
If the candidate is exposing flaws in your assessment and making you think that should be a positive signal, not a negative one. Unfortunately people have egos and generally don't take kindly to situations like that.
Same issue here. My Firefox on Fedora gives "SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM".

I found a bug report[0] which suggest it is (mostly) a server issue. Fedora refuses to use SHA1, and the server ignores the client's attempt to negotiate a more secure algorithm.

Why don't the Taiwanese just ignore these tactics until they're clearning violating territory, then fire a few warning shots?

Genuinely curious why responding to each incursion into the zone around Taiwan is necessary every time this happens?
> And as someone who has worked on both, I can tell you that the container ecosystem is way better and way more deterministic. `Dockerfile` from 10 years back would work today as well. Any non-trivial package.json written even a few years ago would have half the packages deprecated in non-backward compatible way!

As I wrote elsewhere [1], Dockerfiles are not deterministic. The build artifacts that they produce are deterministic, but that would be comparing a build artifact to a build system.

> There is another similar ecosystem of mobile apps. That's also way superior in terms of the developer experience.

Mobile app users have different performance expectations. No one bats an eye if a mobile app takes several minutes to download/update, but a website that does so would be considered an atrocity.

> And that's not what I am objecting to. My concern is that the core JS specification is so barebones that it fragments right from the start.

JS is actually really well specified by ECMA. There are so many languages where the formal specification is "whatever the most popular compiler outputs".

> You make different choices and soon every single JS project looks drastically different from every other project.

The same could be said of any other moderately complex project written in a different language. Look at the Techempower benchmarks for Java, and tell me those projects all look identical [2].

> 1. There isn't a standard project format 2. There isn't a single framework that's backward compatible for 5+ years. 3. There isn't even an agreeement on the right build tools (npm vs yarn vs pnpm...) 4. There isn't an agreement on how to do multi-threaded async work

A lot of the complexity you're describing stems from running in the browser. A server-side js project that returns plain html with a standard templating language is remarkably stable. Express has been on version 4.x.x for literally 9 years [3]. Package.json is supported by yarn, npm, and pnpm. As long as you have a valid lock file and install dependencies using npm ci, you really shouldn't have too many issues running most js projects. I'm not sure what issues you've had with multi-threaded async. The standard for multi-threading in js is web workers (which are called worker threads in node). The js ecosystem is not like Scala or Rust, where's there's tokio and akka. JS uses promises for concurrency, and workers for parallelism.

(I do think the climate is changing, but I do not know the actual outcome.)

While yes you should be concerned about potential climate change, don't buy into this 'world is going to end due to global warming/cooling in 204x' stuff. That is just mostly said by guys that make money trading carbon credits.

In the 70's they said the world was going to end in a few decades because of a new ice age. Tuns of people said the polar ice caps would have completely melted by now. Most of the alarmists have an agenda that is more about power/control/money than "saving the world."

Also don't forget the folks selling you stuff want you stressed. A stressed consumer overspends. You are falling into the marketing trap they want you in. A lot of those gun and survival seed companies feed into that paranoia. If they seriously thought the end was coming why would they sell you that stuff? They would hoard it and keep quiet.
Huh? Per month, sending 750 texts @$0.1 would cost $75, vs $5 for 750 Swarm messages ($60 p.a./12)
Yeah Google killed XMPP because they just had to have a better proprietary protocol and now look where that got us... nowhere. To your point though, I believe Apple and Google 100% staffed and capable of implementing robust support for extensions. The problem with this historically is that it's one off devs and hobbyist projects that have tried to support this stuff. I don't think it's fair to draw conclusions from that. Look at the web and Chrome and what Google can do when they actually put their weight behind something (imagine if they had done for XMPP). Look at Apple and Google and WebAuthN. WebAuthN has optional extensions. It's completely do-able.

> Your point is good, but in making it, you sound like an adversarial interviewer.

Most interviewers are adversarial.

Let's be honest - if an interviewer wants you to pass a system design interview, they'll make it work. I see this with particular candidates all the time. If we want the person to make it through - we'll let them get through. If we don't want them to get through - no amount of correct and behaviorally appropriate answers are gonna make them get through.

I think there are different kinds of manager positions. Some require excellent soft skills, some require excellent bean-counting skills, etc.

A bit like how there are different kinds of programmer positions.
> there's exactly zero good reason to not license out access to the protocol.

There's at least three good reasons:

* Keeping the protocol private is a competitive advantage
* Licensing a protocol and managing those licensees is not free
* A shared protocol dramatically decreases Apple's ability to innovate on top of that protocol

I would argue that it'd be worth while to ignore these issues if Apple was hampering competition in the messaging space, but I just don't see it. I can easily use any messaging app I want on my phone, the only thing stopping me is that iMessage is good enough.
Some of my D1 Minis have regulators that run really hot. Hot enough that temperature readings get thrown off unless the sensor moved several inches away.

I’m from the U.K. which is why I care deeply about representative democracy. Our system has stood the test of time.

You criticise companies for “refusing to work with others” on messaging. Why should companies be forced into a cartel-like relationship with each other? Surely innovation absolutely depends on companies independently creating new technologies and benefiting from that R&D directly? How can consumers have choice, and how can innovation flourish if companies are required to collude, rather than compete, on developing products?
The bill applies to all age groups. It bans discussion of gender for children less than 10. And also prohibits instruction "in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards".

No, this place would set you up with a knee brace or similar thing out of a catalog, the thing is they did not care if you really needed it. If it did turn out you needed something like that later you’d find that you already wasted your benefit on something you didn’t need.
#3 should be the best if you are actually knowledgeable. The problem is a lot of people are basically fooling themselves into being knowledgeable. There is a lot of dumb randomness in stocks but over a longer term stock prices tend to somehow follow underlying economic realities.

But, sadly, the stock market is a merciless test proctor. You may do all the work you think is necessary, you may research until the cows come home and you may still be wrong because you read things that were biased, you did not look at things in the proper perspective, there was some important discovery somewhere that changed the industry, geopolitics, etc.

So even if you are planning on doing your own research you should be well diversified.

Also, do not listen to experts! The stock market is one of the few fields where "experts" will intentionally try to mislead you. Always try to get primary material, or as close to primary material as possible. And do not fool yourself into thinking that reading a bunch of secondary expert articles, or listening to Cramer or other experts is doing research. That's like hoping to become a paleontologist by watching friends.
If that piece of plastic was made with the intent of being eye-catching than I think it's fair to say that "it's trying to catch the eye", even as just a shortcut.

> and begin real investigation you will quickly find that many databases that are popular are totally fine losing data. MongoDB being the most famous example that I can think off of the top of my head.

Always pisses me off. University teaches the principles of ACID and how hard databases work to adhere to these principles, and then so called "NoSQL" comes along and says "lol we have eventual consistency".
In 2023 knowing which AWS database to choose, even if it’s hosted for you is probably ok for the system design level. Knowing when to use a queue or a load balancer etc is ok even if you didn’t engineer the queue. The company you’re going to probably isn’t implement their own either.

I agree that you need basic networking and protocol understanding etc still. And that being able to talk through problems conceptually is important.
The key for me is the level of automation that you can reach at a reasonable "development cost". Let me elaborate.

K8s, if anything, is an API. An API that allows you to interact with compute, storage and networks in a way that is abstracted from the actual underlying infrastructure. This is incredibly powerful. You can, essentially, code and automate all your infrastructure.

But this goes beyond deployment, something you could achieve (more or less) with tools like Terraform or Pulumi. Enter "Day 2 operations".

Day 2 operations are essential for any database. And cloud services have done a good job at automating them. Speaking of Postgres, my daily job, things like HA, backups but also minor and major version upgrades are table stakes day 2 operations.

If you want to build these day 2 operations in the cloud (say on VMs), even though you have APIs do to so, a) they don't implement a pattern like Kubernete's reconciliation cycle; and b) you have a distinct API per cloud. K8s solves both problems, making it way "cheaper" to build such an automation. On K8s, a given operator can code these day 2 operations against K8s APIs. Therefore, if you want to build such automation, either you are a cloud provider (and potentially do this only for your own cloud) or you do it on Kubernetes.

This is so much true, that existing operators have already gone beyond what DBaaS do. Speaking of StackGres [0] (disclaimer: founder), we have implemented day 2 operations (other than the "table stakes" ones that I mentioned before) that no other DBaaS offers as of today, such as vacuums, repacks and even benchmarks (and more day 2 operations will be developed). See [1] for the CRD specs of SGDbOps, our "Day 2 operations" if you are interested.

Add things like "summary of what each contributor did each week/month" at various levels of detail.

There is an evil and a less evil way to deploy this of course. I have had jobs where I had to provide monthly summaries of what I did this month. I would like to start with a chatgpt summary of all my commits and/or PR's over the month, before editing it, why not?
As if the same didn't happen plenty of times with proper DBs.
It’s getting into territory that’s beyond my complete comprehension and ability to explain. There’s also a difference between what’s technically possible and what’s practical. Most places aren’t putting the effort into splitting.

If your doctor accepts insurance, they’re likely treating everything as though it’s covered by HIPAA. If your doctor is cash-only, then they are not bound by HIPAA (unless they have some other agreement that binds them).
No, the Affordable Care Act restricts premiums for the most costly insureds (age 64) to 3x the least costly insureds (age ~21).

So the health insurance premiums you see for ACA compliant health plans are very subsidized by younger plan members, but this subsidy ends starting age 65.

In other words, expected healthcare costs for old people are massive.

Edit: also, annual premiums for age 64 are around $20k to $25k, and that is with the subsidy from younger plan members.
