The people can't unionize a company that exists for less time than the average unionization campaign takes to form one.

This is why the writers and directors in Hollywood are able to unionize as an industry rather than per-company. (See, in contrast, the recent Starbucks unionizations; each individual location votes and creates their own union with a dozen or so members.)

> Sectoral bargaining was promoted by the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, but struck down and replaced by enterprise bargaining under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Today industries like screenwriting, hotels, and railroads still see sectoral bargaining predominate.
Forgive me if I read this as “this isn’t my team reporting it so we shouldn’t trust it.”

How many reports over the last few years were based off “anonymous sources?” Funny how those sources were completely trusted and unchecked due to their allegiance to a certain party.

I’m sure as more information comes out it will be disregarded due to the source and the actual content or context will not be reviewed.

There’s a term for it but it slips my mind.
Not really, I just took my stuff and got out of there. It seemed like maybe they were new and they had had some other issues before, but I was just happy to get the stuff I paid for.
Right, they pretend to be Beeks to deliver their fake copy of the report to the Dukes. But that still leaves the question of who delivered the real copy to the USDA, which they read live on the air, and which they were expecting to be delivered by Beeks.

This is can be true if you're interacting with browser API's such as the DOM frequently, because there's an overhead.

But I've seen several projects where (non-GC) WASM has improved performance significantly for specific tasks. You won't get native performance obviously.
I'd argue the opposite. Some things, in the moment, are really quite morally obvious — and then propaganda starts doing its work to make them seem more ambiguous than they actually are.

Before I learned programming, I thought it had a lot to do with mathematics. I mean both look pretty formal. I was surprised to learn that mathematics played hardly a role in ordinary software development. If you happen to write a physics simulation, sure, you need math, but that is because of physics, not because of programming being inherently mathematical.

When I later learned more mathematics, I was also surprised to learn how informal everything is programming: Mathematicians use fancy symbols, but also ambiguous, idiosyncratic or inconsistent notation, and they always write proofs where a lot is left unspecified because the intermediate steps are assumed to be obvious. In software development it's the opposite, the compiler has to understand everything.
I find 30% quite low unless you count the ones that are purely economic and typically are doing things like sleeping in their car or other such things that aren't the typical picture of homelessness.

Technically, I was "homeless" for 7 months in my life--but it was a planned thing, at no point did I ever not have a roof at night, but a few of those nights it was a tent roof.

If ship runs aground while travelling at low speed, it's usually enough to reverse propeller(s), let ship work itself loose & move back to direction you came from.

But if ship travelled at high(er) speed, inertia helps it dig in & reverse propellers may not suffice even at full power.

With a small boat you have a variety of options to try:

Keep trying with engine in reverse, give it time.

Throw anker as far as possible, and use that to pull boat free.

Use a boom to push boat backwards.

Failing that: step overboard, and push boat by hand.

Or some combo thereof. I speak from experience... ;-)

On a big ship you'll have more advanced controls but no hands-on options. Not to mention freezing waters.

So in this case I presume ship was doing cruising speed or so when it ran aground? Requiring outside help to pull it free.

As long as it didn't spring a (big) leak, and the weather is calm, no reason to worry.

So... pro tip: if you're ever in a boat & unsure if water is deep enough: GO SLOW. Makes things easier when you run aground (and minimizes paint damage).
This tone doesn't feel especially productive. You asked:

So like... they're obviously not saying what you're accusing them of saying. They're just explaining why this litigation occurred in the first place (and agreeing with the outcome, which seems to be the outcome you also want).
I still don't understand the benefit of running a Go app on a cloud provider using this. Anyone want to help me?

It's it honest or ethical to say that the money was given to "homeless" people if only a small fraction qualified?

It's like saying that I studied exercise in "men" but then only accepted people aged 25-29 who were above-average height and non-obese. Saying that I helped "men" doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, it misleads.

Ten seconds is a long enough time for your "if so," which is what I would guess happens in this specific circumstance.

I am an amateur in this space, but in general there are a lot of misconceptions about HFT, because the details are highly technical. See the debates over "paying for order flow," for example. I think it's hard to characterize these systems because, well, they are proprietary. In my understanding, most HFT folks rely on a combination of fundamental and technical analysis, more than sentiment analysis. HFT is more of a game of "make a small amount of money trading all the time" than "wait until some news breaks and reacts to it."

For those unaware, "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved" (aka PiHKAL) is Sasha and Ann Shulgin's book that is half semi-fictional autobiography and half detailed synthesis and in-vivo effects observed in the enormous family of psychoactive phenethylamines. The autobiography part is only available in print, but the chemistry section is freely available[0].

There is a sequel, a similar book for tryptamines called TiHKAL[1].

They are stunningly bold in their chemistry, administration and discovery of novel drugs, and in making good science available under dubiously legal circumstances.

It's been 23 years (to the day!) since the release of the OS X public beta, and it's a mature product. I'm not sure it's getting "shittier and shittier," I think there are still refinements and improvements, they just aren't as big as they used to be.
The fact that drug companies' "tests" indicated that it worked shows how corrupt the system is. There is in fact no way it could have worked, yet the data they provided decades ago showed that it did. This is why we should never, ever trust drug companies, it's just kind of funny that somehow in the last few years some people decided that Pfizer was a hero instead of a psychopathic (in the purest clinical definition) money machine.

The satellites may not currently be the bottleneck for certain areas, but they definitely don't support anything resembling a densely or even sparsely populated area.

Typical calculations (using only publicly available info as a caveat) generally point towards the current starlink constellation supporting a really low density of antennas.

If you want the details, the person who created starlink.sx has a great blog with some incredible calculations[0]. The section that is most relevant is under the heading "Simulation with TDM and beam spread combined".

Basically, the result is that starlink could support around 15 antennas/user terminals per "cell" at 75mbps, where a cell is about 252 square km. This is roughly 1 terminal per 17 square km.

If you allow for 10x oversubscription, fairly common for ISPs, that gets you to 1 terminal per 1.7 square km. Not really that impressive when you compare it to the density and services where 99.9% of people live, but it clearly helps out the small number of people way out there.

> presumably in this particular case, the companies that wrote these particular fire protection and electrical standards did so because they wanted them to eventually have legal force.

Sure, but the reason they wanted this is at least part because they could earn revenue from selling access to them (and having the monopoly on being able to do so), which they now no longer can. It's not obvious to me how they would otherwise materially benefit.
Ah, fair. A good question!

You can still get pseudoephedrine, for example Claritin D, the D for decongestant. It's not by prescription but you have to sign for it at the pharmacy desk, present ID, and I believe it's reported to FDA/DEA and there are limits to how much you can buy per month.

This is terrible not only because you have made a law which is inaccessible to the population (which is in and out itself a total aberration in the law system).

But also:

- You made the law a moving target: when the new book is published, how you deal with products that were developed a month before, and went to market a month later? How are companies supposed to comply?

- Most important: the state is delegating the most important responsibility of making laws, and putting it in hands of profit driven companies or organisations. That cannot end well.
Each satellite has N routers, and can support a certain bandwidth. Even if you hardwired a long LAN cable to it, more users drops the speed.
>Or, you know, just get a preterminated shielded patch cable?

the rj-45 plastic part won't fit in the tiny hole for the cable. I'm unsure if you understood what i was talking about. outdoor ethernet requires a crimper, otherwise you can't guarantee water-resistance.

I don't know anything about the "old" starlink stuff, i have the rectangular dish. the power and data are separate - unless you mean the cable going to the dish - in which case, the dongle splits out the ethernet from that cable.

I haven't tried to "dumb WAN" the starlink because it's outside the scope of my use. I don't even see the point of getting rid of the NAT at that spot, because it's still NAT upstream, and you're gunna need NAT on your network anyway, probably. I had this issue with 4g/LTE CPE, too. Once something goes CGNAT, there's no reason to use your own equipment, as it's getting a private address anyhow, and now you're approaching quadruple NAT territory.
I've been working on mobile apps developed for education in Afghanistan, rural Rwanda, etc for the last 9 years. I used to think that sync was the way, but I have learned from painful experience.

4 (extended): What happens when the user has access to millions of items, but they probably only want a few (e.g. an ebook library catalog)? Do you waste huge amounts of bandwidth and storage to transfer data, of which 99.9% will be useless? We had a situation where the admin user logging in on a project that had been running for years resulted in a sync of 500MB+, 99.99% of that data the admin would never directly use.

Also: do you make users wait for all that old data to sync before they can do anything when they login?

Relying on sync is basically relying on push-only data access. I think in reality most offline/local first applications will work best when they push what a user probably wants (e.g. because they selected it for offline sync, starred it, etc) and can pull any other data on demand (in a way that it can be accessed later offline).

I've outlined that here: https://medium.com/@mike_21858/auto-generating-an-http-serve...
Disagree. There's no intent to keep poor people out. Someone who has little but doesn't spend too much will generally have good credit.

Creditors these days tend to treat medical debt separately--someone who has only medical debt probably is someone who is responsible but something happened to them. Likewise, back in the era of the housing collapse and strategic default creditors would look at someone who had a foreclosure but nothing else far more favorably than someone who had a variety of debt issues.

That language is very interesting, thank you.

But I do disagree on the work. A node-based language parses into a sequence of (name, node_type, data) tuples. What is just as easy to travel as the (name, data) from the data map ones. The thing is, a query language is much more useful for them than for a data map, so it's worthwhile to implement one. (There's probably some cultural aspect here too.)
So then you need each device to run software to communicate this to your router. This isn’t a purely router based solution.

My dad's (now brother's) house a few minutes outside a decently-sized town by Downeast Maine standards had a barely 1Mbps down "broadband" link and it was the last house on the road that could even get that. With Starlink, it's actually viable to work from there in addition to streaming video etc. Of course, he wouldn't pay literally any amount but he'd probably pay a lot; I would.
I love how simple it is, but also that it has a cleanup step as well! Such a missed element in many of these.
you are not wrong, but missing quite a bit. In California and elsewhere, small variations in building and electrical code are used to stall, or make conflicting requirements using vague wording, that gives excess discretionary power to inspectors. In a large, wealthy city like San Francisco, inspectors routinely stall projects, or exert excessive discretionary powers over construction. Why? obviously it is an entry to corruption, but don't overlook the convenience to the city department of being completely and totally in control, to stall.. while being on salary.
