No. Why should it?

The article points out how union members are still affected by concessions they made in 2008 to help auto companies then. It would therefore be inappropriate to use "relative to the last contract period" as the baseline.

If it were about simple disparity, that disparity has grown for far longer than the most recent contract period. Back in the 1960s the average ratio between CEO pay and average worker pay was 20x, and now it's close to 400x.

Extending your argument to the longer baseline, if the CEO's pay were reduced by 20x and the worker pay increased to 20x, retroactive to 1970, then I'm pretty sure they would agree.

But the point isn't simply that the CEO made X% more since the last contract so union workers should get X% more too. If it were, then consider GM CEO Mary Barra, who made nearly $29 million in 2022. She could cut her income by 30% and still make good money - Ford CEO Jim Farley "only" makes $21 million.

Cutting her compensation wouldn't justify cutting the salary for everyone at GM by 30% for the next contract period.

BTW, this sort of question works better with actual numbers. From https://www.npr.org/2023/09/13/1198938942/high-ceo-pay-inequ... :

> "The Big Three CEOs saw their pay increase by 40% over the last four years, while our pay only went up by 6%," UAW President Shawn Fain said at a news conference last week.

> As of Tuesday, the UAW is proposing an approximately 40% compounded wage increase over the course of a four-year contract, a tad lower than its opening bid of 46%.

Also, as an indication of how looking only relative to the recent contract period isn't enough:

> The average hourly wage for workers manufacturing motor vehicles and parts, adjusted for inflation, has dropped by more than 20% in the past two decades, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

0.8 * (1 + 0.4) = 1.12 so what the union wants would be about a 10% gain since 2000.

Starfield is an interesting analysis choice because, for what you get, the performance is horrid.

Starfield looks worse, and runs slower at 4K, on my RTX 3090/7800x3d than Cyberpunk 2077 does on my laptop 2060. Thats insane! And even setting the Nvidia bias aside, Cyberpunk 2077 is a busy game, and no pariah of optimization.

Also, speaking as a diehard BGS fan since Oblivion and a diehard sci fi lover who even enjoyed ME Andromeda... Starfield seems kinda dull? I don't really get what all the fuss is about.

According to Wikipedia 1.7% is the upper bound of all intersex variations in the population. It is important to acknowledge and accommodate these people. However their existence more often used as a weapon in discourse on adjacent topics like gender and identity but not necessarily specifically intersex.

As an example, about 9% of population is left-handed. When was the last time someone mentioned violence when talking about handedness?
I`m not OP, but yes, I saw.

Thats my personal opinion, and nothing more:

Something like complex one time financial/workflow/maintenance operation that includes calling dozens of different smaller functions, but very well structured.

It does not make sense to separate it more into different functions, because execution is generally linear and having to deal with tree of calls where some calls is depends on state of the previous is become cumbersome and makes reading and making changes more complex.

Again, thats my personal feeling, and nothing more.
If we consider restrictions and costs of housing as the cause of needing a car, it seems hard to conclusively assign blame to just the chicken or just the egg.

Hiring a sales person is easier than a developer because they will accept commission as part of their pay package. Commission aligns your goals with their goals. The more they sell the more they make. Hire a few because they will compete and be even more productive. Fire if targets are not met.

Your wasting your own time not hiring. Sales targets are the easiest to measure.
Agreed. One note.

The auto industry in the US is just about as automated as possible, given current tech, economics, etc.
Car parking space being provided by commercial and residential properties is mandated by government regulation in cities, so it actually is closer to “the greater good” than “the greatest profit”.
In the case he cites, The Times was obliged to use that wording because of guidance from the press regulator.

Which many people, like Dawkins, complained about, but, on the other hand, complying with this guidance works out well in the long run because it highlights the absurdity of ideas like: a man is a woman if he says he's a woman.
I was responding to your comment, but should have used less cut and paste. You wrote:

Navionics Boating is a paid application, and it's not cheap. There is no free tier, just a 14-day trial period.

Despite that, it seems to have gone down the same route of Marl-ifying the interface as a free app would have done.

So, my point is, that this dynamic exists even for things that you pay money for.

Please take into account that Bluesky is still young and run by a small team which is moving fast. Ignoring a few reports that they consider non-critical is not a strong negative signal, especially not during a time of rapid growth and while they're in beta and invite-only. They just cracked the million users and are probably navigating through a lot of chaos on a daily basis. Those of us who've been in similar situations know that this is normal.

This is so true. I worked on v1 of BitLocker. Key management was a much bigger feature than the actual full-disk encryption. I only recently got a Yubikey because I know how easy it is to shoot myself in the foot, and I’m still very nervous about it.
Without legal intervention, I do believe that what you describe is the ultimate endgame of these technologies. People could be owned by a corporation or state because certain developed clumps of cells never met the legal criteria for personhood and are therefore property, which is truly a legalized form of slavery.

In the end, all these issues can be solved through the legal system, and I'm fairly certain that a court won't allow slight-of-hand or deception to create widespread de facto slavery.
Google search suggests there are already implemations of QUIC, TLS and SSH which use libsodium.

I'm skeptical of your claim that young people are actually using desktops in those situations. As far as I've seen, young people are primarily gaming on consoles and are using stripped down devices like Chromebooks at school. It's also been noted that computer skills have gotten markedly worse among young people in recent years, which suggests they are not in fact being exposed to desktops regularly.

And I definitely think you're off base about mobile devices being popular because they're mobile. People will sit at home and use a phone that is an incredibly worse experience than using an actual computer, and think it's an adequate substitute. They don't need the mobility in that situation, but they really think there's nothing wrong with the user experience.

> For natural monopolies, public management seems to work best.

What makes you think so? If the government can't incentivize a private company with a natural monopoly so that it provides an effective service, why would it inherently be easier for it to incentivize public employees to provide an effective service?

It's not like it's immediately obvious from superficial inspection either, it seems to me like there are relative success cases and failure cases of both publicly and privately run natural monopolies. For example, taking rail transport: the UK has privatized it trains and the result is lack-luster, France has a state run railway company which seems to do a pretty good job, and Japan has at least notionally privatized it's railways and provides famously world-class rail service).

I addressed your cat when I addressed Toyota lovers. I'm in agreement, your belief that your cat is awesome is not a religious belief. What about the belief that you have to kill or sterilize the majority of humans to save Gaia the earth mother? Or that a man can will himself into being a woman? Are these beliefs that have the characterizations of a religion? Why or why not? Or the behavior demonstrated that if someone doesn't agree with them they are an evil person worthy of prison time or ostracization? Is ostracization not a core characteristic of cults and religions?

Actually, making it unavailable wouldn't even solve the problem, as once you purchase a game, even if it is no longer for sale on Steam, you can still redownload it, including to new devices.

So if you've ever released a Unity game (even if it hasn't been updated in years), even if you delist your game from the store today, presumably you could still get charged if people who already own your game reinstall it.

I'm not a lawyer, but I really don't see how that'd hold up in court — you created a product under different terms years ago, and now your product, which isn't even for sale, can be charged for something that your business has no control over. Even if the ToS says Unity reserves the right to change their fees, I don't see how that can apply to products that aren't even being sold anymore.
Wtf, you do realize software is so wide-reaching (even just on “limited ios”), you can’t meaningfully optimize for that at the goddamn CPU level. Like what, this is not some embedded chip in a happy meal toy that plays a single dumb game alone - there is crypto, graphics, everything necessary for an OS.

Docker sucks because it is a linux-ism, not any other reason. And I think most people would disagree with your notion, it really does run circles around basically every other laptop.
> A very cynical person might think it was more because Musk wants the war to drag on. Starlink can continue getting paid inflated amounts by the US military that way.

I think that's probably just medium level cynicism.

There's a whole bunch of other angles to consider here:

- Ukraine was previously a supplier of rocket parts to his competitors; if Russia succeeds that's unlikely to resume; if Ukraine succeeds they're likely to resume and be more closely aligned with the US (than previously)

- he has a habit of supporting whatever the dictator says, to further his business interests (see: comments on Taiwan, and his car business in mainland China)

- he has become increasingly cozy with Republicans, a number of whom apparently think Ukraine should be left to fend for itself.
Money is an interesting case. The basic units are clear, with most modern currencies having a 3-letter code, and a decimal subdivision of the main unit into 100 or 1,000 subunits (or 10^8 satoshis :) Calculations should usually use integer arithmetic in the subunit, with Bankers Rounding.

Historically, there were non-decimal currencies, like British pounds-shilling-pence, with 1:20:12 ratio.

However, each value also needs a timestamp to enable conversions between currencies, or comparisons for the same currency at different times (inflation).
That sounds overstated.

Current laptop AMD chips have about the same efficiency as M2 Pro, when throttled to similar wattage (see the section about 35W). Instead they default to more power and being more powerful, while being vastly cheaper (M2 Pro Mac mini with 32gb of ram and 2tb of SSD costs what?).

So yeah, for a laptop chip apple is ahead, but it is pretty easy to overstate by how much.
Same procedure back then. Get yourself some high proof alcohol. Add Juniper berries, and maybe some other herbs/spices. Water down. And that's Gin.
AMD is close to release a new data center GPU, I wonder if price will be lower than H100. It seems PyTorch is fully supported, so it should be a good option for AI training.

> The main argument against sqlite is that you would need to build an interface or figure out how to train folks on existing tools. That's not a huge argument against it in my experience, it's a strong social/political one in many orgs but rarely a technical issue.

The design of a solution needs to look into way more requirements than just the technical ones, time and money being 2 big ones. I think most of the HN readers would agree that you could end up building an interface with most of the Excel functionality, even more perhaps, on top of sqlite, and have your particular group of users trained on it.
I'm pretty sure you can still pay someone to pick up and dispose of your trash regardless of any public trash disposal service regime.

Like how you can hire private bodyguards, and not leave your safety to the police.

Or course your trash stopping being "picked up reliably" and the presence of alternative private services are often not independent events (either the government/local government decides to not put in the effort and leave it to the public to pay for third party services, or they're actively encouraged to do so with under the table bribes).

For a while when I was younger I could sometimes hear a steam train when trying to sleep. I had no illusions that it was from outside however, and the rhythm synced to my heartrate.

It turned out that I had an undiscovered hole in on of my eardrums that sometimes caused moisture and odd pressure build up in my inner ear. I got it fixed and haven't heard the train since.
Ok. But can statistics disprove casuality?

E.g. to show that A does not cause B, while B (or a latent factor B correlates with) causes A?

When people say that the study can equally be interpretted as cannabis disorder causes depression and as depression causes cannabis disorder, can't statistics show that these two hypothesys are not equal?

But what if you compare Starfield performance with Cyberpunk's at the release time? Will it be still as different as now?
I obviously don't know what happens in the future, but maybe some optimizations will come to Starfield as well?
What's described there is what I understand DRY ("don't repeat yourself") and the associated "rule of three" to mean.
It may be choking on too large of a threadcount. By default Starfield creates as many workerthreads as what you have cores. And it scales really badly. For your setup it likely makes 32 threads like it does on my 16 core Zen4.

I limited mine to the same as what the consoles have and it made things quite a bit smoother. You can try adding these to your StarfieldCustom.ini

That logic only works if you have some notion that any action that causes economic harm also causes harm to the party who takes it: like the economy is a magical game of tit-for-tat...

If I fund a REIT and buy up half the housing in some bumbling town to extract rent, and let those who can't afford it go pound sand: it can be profitable for me, yet be a net cost to the wider economy.

In fact, it can cost significantly more than the profit I gain: A couple of cases homelessness can end up costing the state millions over the next few decades in knock on effects, the extra rent my REIT extracts in rent ends up in less economically stimulating places than the local economy, etc etc.

In the end I can end up contracting the economy by 100s of millions and still profit, as long as that contraction doesn't overlap with my personal interests too much. Increased homelessness might lower the value of my properties, but the majority of the economic loss doesn't fall on me so I might even expand on that loss in value.
This goes back to the comments on definition. Much of the misinformation on covid was largely due to the general public having a misunderstanding of what can NOT be called science. For example; when a research paper is peer reviewed by its author (e.g. Pfizer reviewing its own drug research) that's clearly not science. Conversely, when the heads of multiple top university epidemiology departments come together to speak out about it, that should be regarded as science.
What happened with COVID is that the media declared itself the authority on science, most of the public believed them, and most scientists were pushed aside or stuffed with a sock and labeled "deniers." This altogether framed science as the bad guy. That is; what you described as science in your comment is actually not describing science at all. It's describing the media.
Thats interesting.. Did you had any system crash recently?

> There's a ton of stuff that has been allowed to happen via consolidation, merger, or pure homegrown that simply hasn't been prosecuted because recent administrations had an alternate theory that monopolies are OK if it benefits consumers via lower prices.

That's not incompatible with violations in other circumstances. For example, Google releases Android for free, resulting in low prices for mobile operating systems. Competing operating systems may be put out of business, but customers benefit from lower prices and this should be fine if anyone can still choose to use a competing OS -- or fork of Android -- should they prefer it.

Whereas, Google uses tying to its dominant services to ensure that Google Play is the only viable app store on Android, then takes a 30% cut. High margins don't result in lower prices and neither does excluding competitors who might take a smaller cut, so they should be slapped down for this.

Google adds remote attestation and encourages third parties to rely on it even though it makes third party apps dependent on Google's version of the system, creating a barrier to entry for forks or competitors. This kind of thing should be prohibited, because otherwise people are not choosing Google's offering because it provides the best value for money, they're choosing it because Google manufactured a way to shut out competitors who might do better.

The theory isn't the problem. Taking a competitor's market share because customers choose your product for having a better price is not bad. The bad is making it harder for customers to choose competing alternatives they might actually prefer.

The problem is the application. The company comes up with some claim that their anti-competitive moat is there to benefit customers by providing security etc. and get away with it even though it doesn't really provide security or there are viable alternatives that provide security without restricting competition.
