American unions have an incredibly adversarial relationship with their employers in a way that European unions do not.

(many) European unions are collaborative with their employers and act like they fundamentally want to help the business grow so there's more to share. American unions, even when they are not outright corrupt mafia-eque organizations (ie, longshoresmen), are purely extractive.
Not quite. Often an evolutionary change may come at a cost to fitness under circumstances that differ from the current environment.

As such, once the antibiotics are stopped, non-resistant bacteria may be better able to compete for resources and multiply.

There's a reason super resistant strains are most commonly found in hospital and health care settings: https://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/biggest-threats.html

If the ongoing cost of the mutation was truly free, one would expect it to spread out beyond these places more prominently.

Edit: I may have under-emphasized that there is no guarantee, and we shouldn't rely on this property.
Precisely. I don't think it was the case that people were blindingly trusting anything that came from a blue-check account. That doesn't even make sense, since many of them were contradicting each other.

What it did allow, was quickly scanning through a sea of replies to find the ones that might come from someone with more authority or experience on a topic than SassySam123123, and then feeling confident that the post that purported to be from the Foreign Minister actually was. This was of course unpopular with SassySam123123.

Funny, I see people getting extra bitter and mean in the last decades or so and call that pathetic. The "fragile" people are the ones who are taking appropriate offense to it.

Anyway there is no possible argument that the meanness of those replies is productive; it would clearly be more useful and direct to omit it and speak clearly about the problems instead of implying the person is an idiot for not understanding their mistakes.

Moreover, why are you "surprised"? Do you live in a some toxic alternate reality where people talk like that regularly? For most people these messages are the only time they'll ever see someone being that mean in a professional context in their lives.
I agree with the final sentiment but I do think you gave a good example of a more direct response. That said, there's something charming about seeing Torvalds's attitude come out. People really care about Linux and it warms my heart to see some passion.

They are incredibly well compensated - and while their safety record was worse than Toyota and Honda until 2021 (but better then the other US), my understanding is that with the move to gigacasting, now run safer than their japanese equivalents as well.

This sort of thing is exactly why I roll my eyes when somebody suggests that it's the sole responsibility of parents to control what their children see online, and that anybody who complains about the state of things is just an irresponsible parent. The nature of tech products conspires to make this virtually impossible for all but perhaps an elite minority of technically inclined parents.. and probably still impossible even for them. Even the simple option of "no computers / internet in this household" is undermined by schools which give kids computers with leaky content blocking and require families to accept this.

Have you ever done a background check with HireRight? They ask you for all of your previous companies and contact them to verify. I think there is an option not to call your current employer.

Just about every American union is very much about

a) Years at job = pay. Absolutely no pay increase or decrease for working harder or being better than average.

b) You are near impossible to fire unless you do something really dumb (caught watching porn at work multiple times, punch someone). You can be far below average and kinda sorta do your factory job and keep it for life.

Both are 1000000% against every fiber in my being, and would make me 100% never want to work at this kind of union. This is how like the autoworker and Police and teachers unions work.

There is no reason say a programmer union couldn't exist with different tools. And it could totally allow merit based pay and all of that. So by absolutely no means do I say that all unions are bad. I just know the standard American Union does not get along with my life goals.

SpaceX to the FAA: The industry needs you to move faster
In practice it’s a huge windfall for the very wealthy mansion owning class, as the tax on the improvements of their land (ie. Their mansion) fall to zero.

In order to compensate, tax on land is increased, so the relatively poorer homeowner who owns land with a relatively worthless house sees little benefit but in fact a tax increase, as the taxes that we’re previously being paid by the mansion owners fall onto them.
Well aren't you the pinnacle of maturity.
Maybe it's a team effort - even instant ramen requires some effort from the end user.
We are already at a point where no human needs to be starving on this earth. Most jobs are useless and unemployment is a constant necessity of the system we live under that benefits elites yet we have all been brainwashed to view unemployed people as the scourge of society rather than the necessary victims of an unequal system. Social change is what creates better living standards, not technological change. Both help, but you can have technological advancement without significant social advancement and that's bad.

Not unrealistic at all. After the fall of socialism, we had a law, where current tennats could buy apartments from the government for very very cheap.. we're talking about a mid-range new car prices back then (to avoid having to calculate inflation), and quite a few years after that the prices were very low. If we're talking the attractive parts of the city center, a one bedroom apartment can easily cost 500keur now. For comparison, even ~15-20 years ago, that would cost maybe 100keur (with some inflation until now), especially if it didn't have parking options nearby (but airbnb investors don't really care about that that much, they can rent a parking spot a few 100 meters away in a parking garage.

We had a law, that somehow got repelled by some lobbyist, where all the public money given to help was then taken out of inheritance (so the kids had to either pay it back, or property got sold at an auction, government took the money and the kids got the rest). This would solve the help-money issue.

Lots of comments here mention that the vast majority of people won't use PGP, Linux and other things to protect their privacy, because they don't care/are dumb/have more important things to do/whatever.

The bottom line though is that people that are more tech savvy and more knowledgeable will always have better privacy no matter what, unless you literally enforce Linux and all that on everyone, which is just not gonna work.

And even if it does, you'll then have to ensure they actually use it properly without screwing things up and compromising their privacy, by which point you'd need every person to know a good amount about networks, security, operating systems etc, which is even harder.

The best course of action is making privacy tools easier to use, so that more people can use them. But without some massive change initiated by corporations or governments, it's infeasible that everyone suddenly gains privacy. YOU have to put the work in to protect yourself, not someone else. And most people don't care. And that's fine. Most people suck anyways!

It's easy enough to become aware of privacy issues in the modern world, don't pretend like people don't know about them. If people care about them, they will learn how to solve them for themselves, there's plenty of info. If they don't, there's literally nothing you can do.
lmao you're mixing up Free Software and Open Source Software, which are not the same thing.
Agreed. If Tesla create new jobs and they pay below average wages, they won't attract workers from other companies. It'll also be harder to retain staff. Surely they'd move towards the average in order to operate normally rather than being forced there by some collective work agreement.
This is true, but it is also in regards to compensation. In the Swedish version there are more details but as it turns out Tesla wants to compensate their workers less than the other comparable employers.

With the collective agreement the workers would be provided:

- Complete package of insurance (providing workers with pensions, sick-pay, maternity leave)

- Re-education (if applicable, for instance companies cannot outright fire someone without severance. A re-education package can provide an employee with funds to acquire new skills so that they might be employed by another company)

- Wages in line with the industry standard (in Sweden)

- Guaranteed yearly wage increases

- Part-time pension plans (if applicable)

These are all afforded to other workers in the Auto industry.
The outcome Detroit wants from this is for the land to be developed. Governments are likely to get directly involved with empty lots, not already developed land. This is also setting aside that kicking pensioners to the streets is generally political suicide, and one of the reasons these homestead exemptions exist in the first place.

We're happy to be building a toy!

Your comment reminds me of this post: https://cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the-next-big-thing-will-start-...

It's still really early innings for this technology, so we're happy to be learning and building fun technology helps people to do creative things. Main thing we're focused on is turning it from a toy you enjoy once, to something you come back to and dive deeper into (even if it's still just for fun).
The first is better, IMHO. No need to be so dry and boring in your second example. Also, in the first example, I know the reviewer is completely against my approach. I need some proper ammo to rebut with, or go back to the drawing board. In the second example, it could easily turn into a multi-day back-and-forth until one of us gives up.
Sure, your point? The government benefits on the higher sale tax revenue too. It's only a true benefit when something is realized. The densest areas of many cities are seeing decreases in population, so maybe that infrastructure isn't the main driver of value.
In my country, the apartment block is already there, but the previously shitty apartment (noise, no easy parking) just became expensive because of stuff like airbnb and speculative investmnts.
Private builders.

The 5 floor condo gets converted into a 30 floor tower. The residents gets 2x space and the first 10-ish floors. The rest goes to the private builder to sell to whoever they want as profits. It often involves demolition of 3-4 buildings into 1 large building. So a lot of wasted space also gets brought into building floorspace.

Multipick for Stretch – Boston Dynamics [video]
I mean, I had a development flag where it wasn't serving real ads when I was in development mode and the copy I had installed on my own phone had the IAP active to remove ads. There is no chance I was clicking my own ads. The revenue from ads was literally peanuts anyways, I don't even think I ever saw a cent of ad revenue (you have to hit a certain amount before they will even send you a check) the ads were basically only there to get people to pay the small one time fee to remove them.

If I did get an ad payout, it was likely < $100. I honestly don't remember, I've put so much of this out of my mind.
One problem is that they keep making the leetcode interviews harder because many people spend a lot of practicing. Simply solving a problem isn't good enough anymore. Now you have to solve two problems in 40-45 minutes with the optimal solution. The only way I've been able to solve two problems in 40-45 minutes is if I've seen the problem before.

That's precisely what a cease and desist is: asking nicely, possibly with legal merit, possibly not.
> Depends though, because in theory you could then have wildly different employment conditions depending on which union / industry you work for.

> Of course, if another industry has better conditions, you can always vote with your feet. Competing for employees benefits the employees, in theory.

There's an interesting dynamic there though that you mention that a particular union may affect the employment conditions across a whole industry. So, theoretically an employer in an industry with a bad dominant union might be be hamstrung even if they wish to improve employment conditions but the core issues stem from a bad union (I'll note this question is from the perspective of an American, with limited and generally poor interactions with unions, who wishes things were better here).
I would argue you are correct in fact, but wrong in detail. The European unions were absolutely ball busters and they won. That’s why they’re not adversarial, they don’t need to be. Employers who don’t go along find them self with no labor force.

If a murder is multiple crows, then a union is multiple thugs.

To be clear I don’t mind if some group of people employs collective bargaining as a negotiation strategy, but the described behavior should be swiftly punished with fines, reparations and possibly light prison sentences. Alas, many unions are somehow above the law in matters of harassment.
The surprising scientific weirdness of glass
Presumably this problem will be solved as researches develop better tools over the next decade or so, inasmuch as once you can point an app at a clay tablet to see a full translation then owners will seek to do so?

Tablet owners would presumably want to find valuable tablets, researchers can duplicate the data from the app; voilà?
In my country, a previously ~100k condo apartment now costs 500k+... sometimes even less than that before (city center, no easy parking, lots of noise) and more now (airbnb).
If you can do that with high probability (9 times out of 10?), then yes.

All safety critical stuff comes down to high-stakes gambling.

One approach that I've seen work well is to estimate the expected number of terrible events per year (which is just the mean time to failure of the system). Things start to be reasonably at about a 0.01 probability per year. (So, we'd expect SpaceX to crash in a populated area once a century. If they launch roughly 100 rockets per year. That means that there has to be a less than a 1 in 10,000 chance that a given rocket crashes and that it kills someone in the process.)

(The 0.01 is picked as an example. I have no idea how many zeros the actual FAA regulatory process aims for, or if they go by expected deaths vs. incident rates, etc.)
I don't think cops extorting marginalized people is new, sadly. I actually think cops making life hard for people of color is the tradition of cops in america, all the way back to the slave-catching days.

Is there some forum in which he could/should have vetted the patch before making this submission?

(Sincere question. I'm not very familiar with submitting kernel patches.)
This is similar to the way things work here except the unions here are reactive to their own needs only. I doubt another auto unions workers would try to block a Tesla plant, they would try to block their own plants only.
There isn't a legal minimum wage in Sweden, it's collectively argued for by the unions. It's pretty rare to find a company paying poorly against the market in Sweden.
So what were the causes? I was a Saab fan so I'm curious.

Calling Americans unions purely extractive is not accurate. American unions fight for employee rights, including fair wages, time off, fair treatment, and employee safety. Unions do not want to bankrupt their employers, they just want to be treated fairly.

I haven't really looked at Lafayette so it might count as rural but if the 3rd largest metro area of a state is the size ST says is unsustainable [2] then that bodes pretty poorly for all but 2 of it's metro areas.
