> The report represents one of the over 70 actions implemented by the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, chaired by Vice President Harris.

They commissioned a partisan report. It opens with the classic move where you put a graph of two things that happened in the decades following WW-II, find a big correlation or anti-correlation between them (because the post-war period moved the needle on nearly every graph of everything), and then imply causation.

Much of the paper is just listing broken things in the economy, like high housing costs, and hand waving a theory that unions could help with that somehow. But that doesn't even work -- if you have housing scarcity caused by restrictive zoning, raising wages without alleviating the shortfall only makes people bid up the existing housing stock and transfers most of the higher pay to landlords. To actually fix it you have to build more housing.

And increasing the pay of only some workers can even make it worse, because it increases the cost of goods and services -- like new housing construction -- which then raises prices for everyone, both the people getting paid more and the people not. Which is made worse because unions are less able to monopolize unskilled labor than skilled labor, so unions will tend to increase the price of skilled labor (in monopolistic industries) while unskilled workers only get higher costs.

But the fundamental point -- and the fundamental problem -- is this one:

> At these firms with market power, unions engaging in monopoly behavior of their own can bargain for workers to share some of the high profits earned by firm owners, executives, and shareholders

Unions can only extract something from companies in uncompetitive markets because competitive markets have slim margins, but uncompetitive markets are bad and those industries need to be broken up, not have the monopoly rents shared only with the workers in those industries while everyone else continues to experience inefficiency and high prices.

And unionizing those industries creates a new lobby to prevent that necessary antitrust action, because those unions will not want the industry to be made competitive if they're extracting part of the monopoly rent being paid by the general public.
In all honesty, the kind of people that attend Burning Man, are exactly the ones that spend the rest of the year preaching about how concerned they are about environmental causes, and how important it is to tax the working man even more to face the climate apocalypse (or whatever hyperbolic term they are using now).

And for that, I'm immensely pleased their deep hipocrisy is being called out with this roadblock.

Next they should find a way to block Di Caprio and Bill Gates to get on their personal jets.

There are still pauses, but the pauses are faster by using multiple cores to collect, which is nice for both throughput- and latency-sensitive apps. No-pause ("on-the-fly") collectors exist, but sufficiently-short pause ("concurrent") collectors still do wonders with sub-millisecond latency.

Coming from the Socialist Republic of Denmark, this seems like a very silly question. Why should ownership be a problem for restaurants?

If a restaurant is owned by an investment fund, the fund will try to get as much money out of it as possible, regardless of the restaurant's long-term fate. But owned by the workers, they have a common interest in having good and secure jobs for a long time to come, and so can set up running parameters to best ensure that.

Now the _leadership_ is a different matter. If everybody tries to be the head chef,.you get a confusion. But that is distinct from ownership and can be arranged in many different ways, some of which work.

If all business were worker-owned, one would be right to ask whether a nom-worker-owned business could work.

Consumers want that in theory, but much of the time choose lifestyles that favor the opposite.

The whole concept of carbon credits is complete crap.

Anything but directly capturing co2 and storing should be discredited.

I’m not sure any of the other methods have any validity. Even when they aren’t fraudulent, they don’t actually result in any real change. I saw one where they provided more efficient stoves that could cook food with less wood and then calculated that it would result in X tons of co2 saved based on how much more efficient it was.

But once it was out in the real world, it ended up saving no co2 since everyone who received one just put it next to their existing stone cooking setup and run them both at once, cooking more food, but not using any less wood.

Nobody has a good IPC/RPC-based abstraction set right now. And everybody is kind of struggling with that.

TIL PayPal offered a BNPL option, although it is apparently 3 rather than 4 here.

Do CNP transactions not require you to authorise via a second factor in the US? I know that if I buy anything online any debit or credit card would require me to access the bank app to authenticate the transaction to prevent fraud. Encapsulation would reduce the security since I'm relying on PayPal to do this, at best they would match the existing bank verification.

The article mistakes that iPhone has any support guarantee. It doesn't. The latest iPhone might stop receiving security updated a week after it ships. Or a century.

In practice, Apple has shipped updates longer than competitors, but there is no guarantee. With Android vendors, there's a guaranteed support life.

It's a question of the degree you trust that part performance predicts future performance versus written policies.
Do you guys get enjoyment from writing the boilerplate, integration code?

I don't think using ChatGPT is similar to searching for answers on S.O. Maybe if you were asking people on S.O. to write your code for you, or plugging in exact snippets. The point here is that letting ChatGPT write code directly into your repo is effectively plagiarism and may violate any number of licenses you don't even realize you're breaking, whereas just looking at how other people did something, understanding, and then writing your own code, does not.
Even if we're imaging a scenario with free government money, I'm not sure a co-op makes sense because of the financial incentives at the heart of capitalism. Imagine you could get government money to start a co-op or take private investment and maintain a large ownership stake in the business? Isn't the upside way higher for you if you go the private investment route?

Of course, the government could subsidize co-ops to the degree that financial incentives of starting a co-op outweigh the financial incentives from starting a traditional business, and maybe they should do that, but it's not how our curent market is structured.

This is especially beneficial for harder languages like Rust. Although I will admit that Copilot did not work very well with rust a few months ago but seems to be better now.

> Hey we can't pay workers $250/hr without raises prices to above what customers are willing to pay

You seem to be suggesting that workers are cartoonishly naive and have ridiculous demands that cannot simply be met. When in reality they usually just want a living wage, a bit more input on shift planning, things like this. People aren't generally stupid, and if they can get it together enough to form a worker-owned co-op they're not likely to immediately run it into the ground doing stupid stuff like giving themselves a 1000% wage increase.

It uses WebGPU which I’m guessing is allocated differently than the 4gb limit?
There’s no reason to shut it all down if 1% of your request to a web server gets a 500.

This is more like finding a bug in production and having all the devs stop working (including merging more changes) until it's fixed. Customers can still use the end product, you just stop making new things until you've solved the problem. There's some undeniable logic to doing that if you value bug free over fast.
> The ChatGPT model has violated pretty much all open source licenses

Are you claiming this because they used copyrighted material as training data? If so, I think you're starting from the wrong point.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but last I heard using copyrighted data is pretty murky waters legally and they're operating in a gray area. Additionally, I don't think many open source licenses explicitly forbid using their code as training data. The issue isn't just that most other companies don't have the resources to go up against Microsoft/OpenAI, it's that even if they did, it isn't clear whether the courts would find that Microsoft/OpenAI did anything wrong.

I'm not saying that I side with Microsoft/OpenAI in this debate, but I just don't think this is as clear cut as you're making it seem.
On the other hand, stumbling through some of that old crap can be wonderful. It’s like reading old diaries.
I did some GL benchmarking for simple draw calls (on desktop) a couple of years ago, and while it's true that WebGL came out lowest, the difference between native drivers were much bigger. I basically checked how many trivial draw calls (16 bytes uniform update + draw call) were needed on Windows before the frame rate drops below 60 fps, and for WebGL in Chrome this was around 5k, Intel native was around 13k, and NVIDIA topped out at arond 150k (not all that surprising, since NVIDIA has traditionally the best GL drivers).

It is definitely true though that you need to employ old-school batching tricks to get any sort of performance out of WebGL, but that's also not surprising, because WebGL is only a GL by name, internally it works entirely different (for instance on Windows, WebGL implementations are backed by D3D).
>Then it actually would work to reduce what I can and offset the rest. Carbon is fungible. If I release 100 tons and capture 120 tons, I've done the world a favor.

They do. If you use the entire context, a single request is like 30 cents. Very easy to rack up 10s of dollars very very quickly. Not an explanation/excuse, but additional context (no pun intended).

SEC contacting ICO issuer regarding need for registration.[1]

Form D, for small (under $5 million) issuers with a limited number of stockholders.[2] Free to file. Useful for legit small businesses, but not so much for crypto, because crypto issuers want a big "market cap" and lots of HODLrs.

Form S-1, for large issuers.[3] This is the classic paper form as a PDF, but today you file this as an XML document. Software to format the XML file is available from several companies.
Anyone can download those files and analyze them, plus, at last, the SEC web site has a decent web search interface that displays the financial info. Filing fee is $110.20 per $1,000,000 raised.

Misstatements on a form S-1 are felonies. One of the main reasons crypto bros hate this process.
