Different groups inside Kaiser have different contracts. So, I cannot speak for all Kaiser employees.
But in my husband's group, every 4 years, the contract is either re-applied, or goes through negotiation. To keep it simple, due to inflation and relative good results of Kaiser, the union decided to adjust the pay increase for this new contract.
The previous contract did include automatic yearly raise, that were agreed before 2020.

> Did you adjust for company size? I bet the average s&p 500 company is much larger than they were in the 60s.

If you adjust for company size then you should adjust for inflation as well. I’d be interested in knowing for sure, but if I had to, I’d guess they’re 5-10x, not 1000x, bigger.
> Reason being those are supposed to be reviews of the product.

I understand that, so I only leave reviews on the product if it's a single seller, selling their own product. I think "this product comes with a scam offer" is a valid review of the product.

I also leave seller reviews, of the seller, on the seller's page. (Many people don't realize you can do this.) These are deleted too.

> One thing that I sometimes hear is -- a newcomer will say "this is hard", and someone more experienced will say "Oh, yeah, it's impossible to use bash. Nobody knows how to use it."

> But I would say this is factually untrue. How many of you are using bash?

I think the meaning of the statement is not that straightforwardly literal.

I think what it means is, "We don't have strong confidence in our understanding of our bash code or confidence that it will behave as we expect in untested scenarios. If anything out of the ordinary happens, we kind of expect that something will fail and we will learn something new about bash that will make us cringe and/or strike a nearby object hard enough to injure ourselves."

Bash is a complex language, and for most programmers, it is unlike any other language they use. Most companies have a little bit in production somewhere, and most of them don't have a single person who writes enough bash to know it well. I think it's no accident that build tools, CI tools, and cloud orchestration tools are evolving in the direction of minimizing the need for shell scripting.

Hi yoichi!

1. Yes, the pen uses actual ink. It's designed to give you the traditional writing experience while incorporating digital functionalities.

2. Replacing the ink is easy. It uses regular replaceable pen ink, and we provide five extra inks in different colors for versatility and creativity.

3. The battery duration is about 18 hours with continuous use. But with typical usage, it's designed to last a week or even two between charges.

4. Absolutely, our pen and app are designed to work seamlessly with both iOS and Android devices.

5A. Regarding browser usage, the primary function is within our proprietary app, but stay tuned for future developments.

5B. Interesting fact about the notebook: while it feels and behaves like a regular one, it has patterns that are invisible to the naked eye. The pen's sensor detects these patterns to ascertain the page number and exact location of your writing.

6. Once filled, you can easily purchase additional notebooks. They won't be overly expensive since there's no electronic component in them.

7. Once written, your notes are digitized and sent to our proprietary XNote app. From there, they are securely stored, and you can access, edit, or share them whenever needed. The application also provides options for organizing and categorizing your notes for easy retrieval. Future updates will offer integration capabilities to other platforms and tools.

8. As for app compatibility, the pen currently works exclusively with our proprietary app. However, we're laying the groundwork for integration with third-party platforms, like Zapier, to offer a wider range of functionalities.

Thanks for the thoughtful questions, and we hope you're as excited about XNote as we are!

> GDP is not “income”.

GDP is literally the primary national income measure.

Its not government revenue, but government revenue is largely a choice within parameters set by, more than anything else, national income.
I'm in the US. Before I stopped buying things from Amazon (this is one of the reasons why I stopped -- a minor one, but one nonetheless) I'd say this happened with about 1//3 of my purchases.

I never left a review, but would report the practice to Amazon. If Amazon cares, they didn't indicate it to me.
(not OP)

Defense contractors would start pulling out the cost-saving technologies, etc that they've been sitting on to win bids, now that there's less money in the pot. Cost-plus contracts are whack, man.

Source: Way back when, worked in industrial augmented reality, and some colleagues came from defense (ship building) because of exactly this issue. Their prior employer had (quietly) pioneered various uses of AR in ship assembly, which drastically reduced costs, but wasn't actually deploying it because cost-saving actually reduces their profits, so they only actually use them when it comes time to win bids.

Pretty sure you're fishing for "we get attacked" tho, which I neither agree with, nor have the background to coherently argue against.
Afters year of not doing so i bought something off of amazon (here in the uk). A lawn mower with a large number of positive reviews. And a heat blower. Both where atrocious when they arrived. Went back to reading the reviews and in depth i noticed that a large number of review images were obviously fake. Left then reviews stating as such and guess what? Amazon rejected the reviews.

This makes me think that all of these issues on amazon are a feature not a bug. Amazon allows this to happen to drive a wide offering. And of course no consumer protection agency taking proactive steps to prevent this. They do issue refunds, but after you’ve wasted time waiting for and testing the product and then returning or threatening them.
> Our approach is to make our C library, relibc, the interface for the stable ABI, and to make relibc a dynamic library.

Seems reasonable - but will this lead to a situation similar to GNU libc, where static binaries are difficult/impossible? (See many discussions on glibc vs musl etc).

No, you need a return.
I agree with this sentiment. Years ago, I asked around at one of the smartphone companies whether it would be possible to certify to an end user that a photo is either:

1) Authentic and only lightly edited with image manipulation software (e.g., cropped, color balanced, or text placed over top of the image)
2) Produced on a phone that has had to go through hardware hacks

Note that the guarantee in (1) wouldn't prevent someone from taking a photo of a TV screen. When I asked that original question, I had quite a few more details about how the certification might be done, how the credentials would be hosted, and how the results would be shown on a website.

Anyway, just asking this question was met with a storm of negative responses. I counted two dozen messages that were either neutral (asking for clarification) or else outright hostile before the first hesitantly positive message. My favorite hostile response was that allowing people to certify images as real would steal peoples' rights. I didn't follow the logic, but the guy who made the argument was really into it.

There were lots of comments about how using AI would be a better solution, some commenting on how Cannon already did it (and messed up gloriously), others stating they didn't have faith in hardware... it makes a fella never want to ask a question again.

In the end, I got an expert to speculate that the technology currently exists, and has existed for 5-10 years, to do this with a modern smartphone. However, unless a high-level engineer or executive argues that providing this feature will somehow be a competitive advantage, there is no appetite to provide this kind of feature.
I think the only successful console to use it was the Mega Drive.

thanks, that's super cool, I had wondered about that!
From what I recall at the time Apple (as well as others) tended to do things to keep M$ OSs off their hardware and differentiate themselves from IBM so they would have more control of the platform and sell boxes. M$ goal was to be the dominate OS then. IBM misguidedly chose to make money on hardware. They were too accustom to getting exorbitant amounts for their software ie leasing it.

It was not so easy to port an OS back then and IBM PCs were the dominate species so too was DOS then Windows. Zilog was starting to fade also - the Z8000 never caught on. Apple became the only company keeping the 68000 alive. Motorola was not up to the challenge of competing with Intel or Apple was not making enough volume to make it worth their effort. Apple - fighting the last war - thought IBM was their competitor so eschewed any compatibility with IBM PCs and chose to go it alone. It wasn't until later (after Jobs return) that they realized they were wrong and things had moved on. Reasons for choosing a CPU where more about power and speed.
Perhaps. Scotty Kilmer the wild expert mechanic on YT disagrees generally that new cars are any good due to the over-reliance on cheap plastic components, especially on "luxury" cars like Lexus, where there is more planned obsolescence. Ancient Toyota Corollas tend to last for a very long time. If someone flips their car for a new model every few years and doesn't care about money, then they can ignore long-term durability. Most people are better off finding a vehicle for the long-term for their needs (preferably an EV) while minimizing the TCO.
I download plenty of files from sites I don't know and wouldn't consider trustworthy, visiting only the Microsoft.coms of the web is really restrictive. Domain-based reputation is useful, especially if I'm actively interacting with the site and giving it data, but visiting a shady domain shouldn't make someone terrified. It's not like the site will cough and give you a virus nowadays.

There are many contributing factors as are being mentioned. I would say the most dominant one is the success of the x86 PC. That success depended on the continued cost/performance value. M68k systems on the whole were considered workstation machines that looked down upon less capable hardware. Exceptions to this were the Amiga and Atari ST, which unfortunately competed themselves out of existence rather than against the PC market which was squeezing them out. The Macintosh was more capable due to its software rather than CPU.

Once you have the success of DOS PCs and add growing exposure of Windows 2.x (e.g. Windows/386) filling in capabilities it's hard to compete with technically better but also much more expensive systems except in smaller or niche markets over time. Even the server market switched from the likes of Sun SPARC to x86 systems.

The theme is that cheaper and minimally viable has a larger market potential that wins if able to find a way to survive. An earlier/smaller example of this is how the 6502 ate the lunches of other/better 6800 or Z80 based systems. That success later failed due to stagnation of the hardware and operating systems, and again in-competition. The x86 PC-compatible market allowed competition between vendors while still using the same ISA and ecosystems DOS & Windows.

I grew up in this era having multiple Atari 8-bit & ST systems, using Apple ][, Macintosh, and rare access to Amigas. I was extremely disappointed with DOS+Windows prevailing over the more exciting systems from a graphics/sound gaming perspective. Market size won.
I thought that GCs are often run in their own thread, and because scheduling at the OS layer is seen as non-deterministic from the application's viewpoint (you never know when your own threads are going to get stopped/started), you can't control exactly when the GC is run?

Is that wrong? Or obsolete? Or GC-dependent?

But also, just because something is theoretically deterministic (e.g. it might technically be possible to work out when a GC sweep will run, and multiple runs of the exact same program will cause the exact same set of GC sweeps), actually working out when a GC sweep will run is so non-trivial the only way to actually work it out is to run the program and watch it happen, and also it becomes impossible to predict how any changes at all to a program will affect how the GC runs as a result (other than making the change and running it).

Or are there ways to deduce when GC sweeps will run for a given program, without actually running it?

> Iran's brutal crackdown of late

We only know about Iran's brutal crackdown of late from western NGOs and their thralls. Heck, most of Iranians themselves are likely getting these news from these sources, and not from direct or second order witnesses.

Meanwhile, we never seem to hear anything about Saudi Arabia. No crackdowns, no police brutality, no dress code enforcement. Yes, we do hear "criticisms of SA government", but that is a far cry from full throttle inciting of rebellions and then covering these rebellions 24/7, by the means of media.

I'm not saying that Iran is a nice country to live if you are a young woman. It's just that in Saudi Arabia they could not even drive until very recently.

A "double-standard held among the Western public at large" is the conspiracy I'm talking about. You don't need to have any evil puppeteers if your media are obedient to the sufficient extent and if self-proclaimed critical thinking experts are in fact mental gymnastics experts.

I'm also wondering how much do you need to be paid to be content about not being treated as a person.
All job postings are online. Your best bet is to go for a larger company that can sponsor a work visa. Smaller compaies sometimes are unwilling.

I've wanted to build a product in this space ever since I heard about deepfakes. Mix of keybase and appropriate file hash, and hash gen for subsets of sections of video. Maybe it needs to be a protocol, maybe a product, not sure, but the need seems apparent to me.
When you say “10% for to-go”, is that for delivery or when you’re yourself picking up food to go?

By traditional indicators the US is broke. Debt to GDP is at historic crisis levels, debt service is eclipsing the military budget (though I didn't check if that includes the spending for the war in Ukraine) and it is unclear where the oomph to pay for retirees will come from. The main thing optimists seems to be pinning their hope on is that the authorities can print money and it will all turn out OK.

What is the conversation around science funding meant to look like? Spending money on productive investments is a great idea, but the practice of the US government is nowhere near that.

The issue with these new structures is they're necessarily clunky, to maintain interoperability with non-modern Java. Java's backwards compatibility is legendary, but is also why some of it's newer features are often criticized as not being as good as they could be.
No, GDP is Gross Domestic Product. It’s a measure of economic activity, not income. An analogy on a smaller scale: Visa’s GDP is the sum of all transactions that occur on its network. You wouldn’t call any of that income except the sliver siphoned off as interchange fees.

To make matters worse, GDP numbers are generally one of the most inaccurate and untrustworthy numbers since it’s set for political reasons. It’s not possible to measure all of the transactions that occur within a country since a large amount occurs offline and are unrecorded.
Whoa. This blew up! I’m working on a vibribbon like game and was curious about some of the internal workings and found your repo. I am interested in helping. I’ll come hang in your discord this weekend and see what I can help with.
Grooming logs from attempts seems like shibboleth on its own that is indicating junior level or “security enthusiast”.

Anyone who manages servers professionally does not read logs anymore and does not care about obvious things like people brute-forcing.

Reading ssh logs on your single VPS is security LARPING. Discussing faill2ban as well :)
Until mid-nineties things could have gone either way.

Then x86 DOS got Doom. Everyone had to get a PC now.
It’s like war games, only way to win is not to play.
But it also helps in reducing the load on your servers when, e.g., instead of 300+ login attempts per minute on your mail ports, you get 20 because the IP gets banned for a day after 2 failures. Or, instead of nginx spending 90% of its time sending out 404s for the various PHP and MySQL holes I do not have installed, it can spend 10% of its time instead.

Particularly on my small server, fail2ban is the difference between "usable" and "on the edge of falling over".
Thanks for the submit and for the links above.

Looks interesting for small prototyping, tempted to try.

Wow, Windows / Linux / Mac / Android !
There were many microprocessor designs out or coming out from everybody. Plenty of them got design-ins (chosen to have a product built around them). For PC, nobody could compete with the wave of the PC-compatibles running Windows on x86.

Many of the new microprocessors did come out in non-PC products like workstations - where it didn't matter as much.
I don’t recall ever asking for one.
Once you realize the full scope of reviews that Amazon deletes, it's hard to take anything left behind as credible whatsoever.

I went down a long odyssey recently of trying to get a refund for a food item that was four months expired the day it was delivered. Amazon refused. I escalated it. Amazon refused again. I tried to leave a bad review. Amazon deleted it. I reviewed the seller itself. Deleted again. Kept trying over and over again for several days, making ever so slight tweaks to conform to the policy. I came to the conclusion it was simply impossible to leave a negative piece of feedback.
TL;DR:

1. Since PyTorch has grown very popular, and there's an AMD backend for that, one can switch GPU vendors when doing Generative AI work.

2. Like NVIDIA's Grace+Hopper CPU-GPU combo, AMD is/will be offering "Instinct MI300A", which improves performance over having the GPU across a PCIe bus from a regular CPU.
You have that exactly backwards: if someone is hitting you with a password bruteforce from a single IP address (which is the only threat that fail2ban mitigates) then it is assuredly nothing personal at all.

A personal insult, if you are ever unfortunate enough to receive one, will be much more stealthy and neither fail2ban nor any other magical rock will protect you against it.
GAMAAN has provided insight into Iranian opinions with intelligent polling and verification methods that correct for the Islamic theocratic regime's authoritarian control over society. The coles notes are that the majority of Iranians do NOT support the Islamic regime, are not religious and do not support the theocratic laws and regulations such as enforced hijab and other gender apartheid measures currently in place against Iranian women.
