OK. What if a company wants to close a plant, because it's not profitable enough? It's also an organized (corporate) action, so it must be disallowed?
One of the key points to being unionized is the fact of solidarity with other union workers.

that is where the power in unionization comes from.

Literally, the entire purpose of unions is to give employees enough economic power to fight greedy CEOs, managers and boards

As it stands now, corporations are entirely too powerful that the only way to actually fight back is to create collective support structures
Interesting -- I've never thought about 0 = red, 60 = yellow, 120 = green, 180 = cyan/aqua, 240 = blue, 300 = purple as being user-unfriendly (simply because RGB is so much worse), but you make a good point.

What if CSS allowed hue to be defined as positions between any 2 adjacent options out of the 6 primitives defined by 60° increments?

E.g. bright orange could be either of:

hsl(50% red yellow, 100%, 50%)
hsl(50% yellow red, 100%, 50%)

While bright red-orange would be either of:

hsl(25% red yellow, 100%, 50%)
hsl(75% yellow red, 100%, 50%)

There's probably a more intuitive syntax to describe "25% of the way from red to yellow" that I can't think of.

And I think I'd be in favor of just six primitives. Using 30° increments would allow orange, but none of the other five positions have obvious names at all.
Please remember that unions in Sweden aren't the same as unions in the US.
For decades true AI was always 7 years away. Now it’s always two weeks ago.
In Sweden there’s not many laws in place for employees, there’s collective bargaining agreements that unions ask for instead. For example there’s no minimum wage, but the unions get a fair living wage for employees. Union / Employer relationships are totally different here than the US. Companies have to agree to the agreement or they’ll struggle, and if Tesla want to leave they can. But employees rights for a good pension, salary, holiday (such as one month off over summer), paternity leave (such as a years leave), etc… are more important. Klarna tried this recently and just folded.

Edit: I do want a Tesla, my workplace will buy me a car (as a perk) at a hefty discount, but if they leave I’ll get a Ford Mustang Mach-E :) no loss for us if Elon throws toys out the pram for ~130 employees
When I was in college I had a professor who joked that her standards had gone down over the years. Nowadays, her only criteria are: "no criminal record."

Maybe it's just a joke and we don't need to get that cynical, but I think that in the end, enjoyment of the work comes from: whether you can find some creative process in it, and whether you like your coworkers. I think this is the optimistic way of looking at "work is called work for a reason."

To that end, even plain-old programming beats a whole lot of other fields. But to think that we should be drinking the kool-aid and all is definitely not going to stick for the vast majority of us by the second or third decade. I certainly enjoy my job, even though it's just "work."

My professional life and mental health definitely improved when I finally accepted this in full. Whereas at my previous job, the entrepreneurs sold everyone on using the tools and languages of their choice (and sacrificing for compensation in a big way). Noble attempt, perhaps, that may have worked in a different time and era of tech, and under vastly different macroeconomic circumstances. But ultimately, it should not have been surprising, in retrospect, that no one would do any of the work-work that it would've taken to make the company work.
Interesting. Usually I use a flamegraph for performance reasoning. How do you use this flamegraph?

Cool tool btw.
This will likely be an unpopular opinion, but TikTok has been a great place for me to learn about all kinds of unique and interesting things and hobbyist communities I'd never known about: homesteading, commercial plane transport, tether car racing, DIY halloween decorations, interpretive dance, and a lot more. Top comments tend to be funny (though often the same joke) and smart.
France and Germany drive EU politics. If the politicians there are benefitting from AI then they're less likely to regulate it out of existance. The EU creates policy that the rest of the west tends to move towards, so if you can stop the slide there, you can ultimately slow it everywhere.

After causally seeing popular weight loss advice in US media over the years offering all variety of silver bullets (One Weird Trick etc), I was flabbergasted and betrayed to learn how simple the math of weight loss is once I finally looked into it 4 months ago.

Very roughly, there’s 3500kcal in 1lb of body. Given that fact plus your current weight and calorie intake, you can build a spreadsheet in 30 mins to compute the calories per day to make your body any weight you want in a reasonable time frame (losing >1% a week is generally viewed as unhealthy and risky).

Of course adhering to the plan is the challenging part - and then it’s helpful to consider strategies like TRE, once you understand the metric target part.

I wrote the comment as a reaction to the editorialized headline suggesting to some degree that TRE is a silver bullet / One Weird Trick. Maybe it is effectively that for many people - but in case there’s a casual reader scrolling past I want to give them a bit more of the ground truth that’s somehow not popular knowledge.
This was kind of the theory of using Brave Browser to earn BAT through ads, and then set up an "auto-contribute" list that took your earned BAT and distributed a % that you set to each person. The adoption didn't exactly happen, especially with Brave's weirdness lately.
Facebook breaks EU law against targeted advertising?
Facebook have now thrown up a modal dialogue one must accept to continue. It says:

===

Make a choice about your ads
As part of changing laws in your region, you can now choose to continue using Meta Products for free by allowing us to use your info for ads. Or you can subscribe to use them without ads.

===

Isn't this now illegal according to new EU law (thanks to the Norwegian precedent), which outlaws using personal info for targeted ads?

The law "impose[s] a ban on the processing of personal data for behavioural advertising on the legal bases of contract and legitimate interest across the entire European Economic Area."

Are they trying to coerce users into a 'decision' through the perception of choice? This document [1] notes:

"The dangers of consent being misused are particularly serious when consent is commodified, i.e., when it is given to obtain benefits that are extrinsic to the processing for which consent is requested, as is typically the case in targeted advertising."

The Register [2] noted:
"Meta now will have to ask for a simple "yes" or "no" consent before using their personal data..."

The above modal is not a simple yes or no, or a yes or no at all. It seems to be an either my way or the highway.

I think the problem is that, while most people agree that badly factored code that drags down productivity is a problem, people can't agree on how to make it better. So, discussions about code quality get mired in subjectivity, often people can't agree and if anything changes at all, you agree to some half-baked compromise that doesn't really address any of the issues.

I don't think how you can avoid that unless you find people that have similar ideas to you about how to write code.
If we want to protect these rights they need to be guaranteed somewhere where daily politics can’t touch it, like a constitution. Otherwise it’s a battle that will only end when the rights are gone.

I wouldn't be surprised if both of these events are relate
I am on mint mobile (an MVNO of t-mobile) for 5gb a month for $15. I think you have to do 6 months at a time to get the $15 a month but that isn't a big deal. My service is good but does suffers when I go places that are really crowded but that doesn't bother me.

I'm on the smallest Verizon prepaid plan. Just checked, and I'm misreading the specifics, as it's actually $25/mo for 15GB. Sorry!

Starts at $35/mo, and includes a $10 discount for autopay. I was expecting an addition $10 rebate, but apparently I'd need to add an extra line for that.
The most recent critiques I've seen for intermittent fasting have to do with how it may not preserve lean body mass unless you are extremely conscientious about getting enough protein (and probably resistance training). That is, if you don't get enough protein during your feeding windows, you'll lose lean body mass along with fat mass, which harms body composition. I'd expect to see the TRE arm losing more lean body mass.

Table 2 seems to show this effect. The TRE arm lost more lean body mass and fat mass, although without a difference in visceral fat. If compliance is the issue, I'd be curious to understand what regime can help TRE participants comply with a minimum protein threshold in their diet to minimize the risk of lean body mass loss.
I've interfaced with a fair few MDs in the US behind the scenes, so to speak.

The site nearly every MD in the US uses is called UpToDate:

https://www.uptodate.com/login

It's not really for laypeople, so you can't poke around in there (check your alumni benefits though, many associations have subscriptions). But, to give you an idea, the site is pretty much a diagnostician. You can just plug in symptoms, patient history and demographics, and it'll give you nearly everything that you need to know. Lots of best practices, research papers, summary papers, testimonials, etc. It's effectively an AI for MDs, and it's good.

What I'm trying to say is that your first instinct is correct: The MDs that you're going to really are in fact idiots that can't even be arsed to use a web form.
For retailers I want someone to verify that they are legitimate. I don't want random people in my garage. If someone enters my garage when I'm not home they better really be agents for WalMart/Amazon/target/UPS (as opposed to WolMort/Amozan/targit/USP...) , and whatever company does that does background checks on drivers. Probably they also need to have other cameras in their vehicles so that drivers trying to steal whatever valuables I have are not stolen. (as already pointed out, most people have an unlocked door from the garage to the house)

The UN report shared by the sibling poster, has a graph that distinguishes the rates between Spanish and non-Spanish nationals, so I think that’s a positive answer to your question
Poverty, that's how. They live in flats because they can't afford US-style houses (climate would allow them easily), and can't afford 70km average commute radius - car-only because sprawl can't be covered by public transport.

They live in apartments not because they are so conscious about urban planning, but because they can't afford to do otherwise. Give people money and they want to move to single-family houses in suburbs.
And the company doesn't even have to be actively hostile for remote to be risky.

The company could go out of business and shut down their servers. Or shut down the servers because they're no longer selling the product.

Sometimes incompetence is as bad or worse than malice. The company could break an API accidentally. Or the API only works intermittently. Or they could add poorly-implemented rate limiting that unintentionally affects multiple users when they share an IP via NAT.

Amazon avoided having to sign a collective agreement with a union in Sweden by outsourcing their business in Sweden to some other company. The workers in that company have a collective agreement. I guess some arrangement like this could work for Musk as well if he wants to save face and pretend like Tesla still never signs collective agreements?

I want to second this. Living in flats sounds cute for most of the people who never lived in ones that are being built with cheap materials and thin walls. It's all nice and dandy until a sill neighbour moves in and then you've got nowhere to hide.
A term I hear a lot for non-malicious or non-intentional DDOS is the Hug of death.
Good.

Barring any attempts to hinder a police investigation or crime scene, the right to record law passed in NY should be absolute.

I see no reason why it's a bad thing to keep law enforcement honest and make sure their actions are legal and above board....because otherwise, their mistakes and ignorance of the law can cost the public money.

It also allows the good folks within police departments to have a straightforward way to root out the bad folks and the corruption that a police union might traditionally try to cover up. If I were a cop and I knew one of my coworkers was a bad apple, and might screw things up for me, knowing that they are getting recorded on the job would give me peace of mind.
Ask HN: Your version of an alternative history for the web and internet?
For example: say, there was no Google search. And, maybe no one else conceived of a similar idea. A simplistic example for sure, but just a starting point.
Yea I agree. They tend to market the mini or smaller ones not just as smaller phones but as lower end phones. Since my order of preferences is the features and then the size, I end up never able to justify the smaller phone even though I don't need the big size.
Sure. I'm currently in the 1st year of a master's in nanotechnology. I'm taking courses in quantum physics, semiconductor physics, semiconductor devices and materials physics.

The semiconductor devices course follows Simon Sze's book almost 1:1. I've found Neamen's "Semiconductor Physics and Devices" and Kasap's "Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices" also excellent for additional explanations.
Oh damn, I would've not expected OnePlus to not support it, with them being always on the more cutting-edge of technology. That's a huge letdown.
Plenty of places where large developers sit on and let planning permissions expire and apply again because it's better return on investment to hoard land and first build and sell finished properties when an investor wants to exit. I live in London, and there are buildings approved with an aggregate of many thousands of flats immediately surrounding my local station alone where nothing has happened for years, because why would they, when delaying the actual construction means they effectively get extra leverage on their investment.

As long as house prices rise fairly consistently, if you can raise additional capital chances are good it will give you better return to keep accumulating more land than use the capital to finance construction on land you already own.

I'd really like to see heavy taxation on underutilized land (insufficient to only go after unused land because then they'll just plonk down something cheap and low-density and rent it out until the time is right for something bigger.
One of those is a business decision about what to do with their private property the other is an external actor demanding what you do with your private property.

Latest I've heard is that it all boils down to calories and that intermittent fasting (time restricted eating or 8/16)makes you lose muscle faster due to low protein during the fasting period.

Better to eat less calories and consume small amounts of protein throughout the day.

I tried IF a couple times in my life. First time, coupled with lots of endurance exercise, worked great but I was constantly fighting to retain muscle. Second time I didn't exercise as much but also didn't lose any weight. I did develop extreme post-meal fatigue though, and that has persisted for years since stopping IF.
I'm not a professional, not even near an enthusiastic amateur but this is a entirely new game changer. This is like the move from DSLR to Mirrorless. The A9III is super costly but makes sense for pro and prosumers.

Let me try and see if I understood what their tech is.

This is like, as soon as you open the camera, it is pretty much taking a video. When you are shoot, it is just picking the shots from the frames that is already in the camera's sensor!
That’s not true, the garage typically has a full outdoor door with standard security (dead bolts, wired into the security system) the same as any other door as the interface door between the garage and the house. This is a code thing for a variety of reasons but primarily because the outdoor door is weatherized and provides a barrier against CO, but also for the precise reason that the garage door is not considered secure. The protocols for opening the door wirelessly are known insecure and municipalities have required outdoor doors at the interface due to the number of home invasions and burglaries through the garage.
That's actually a good summary. Bookmarking this, thank you ;)

This really helps. There are also other ways unions can be corrupt.

For example, the ILWU union allows its members to give their position to their children as an inheritance. It's literally a mafia ("family").

And of course, any random Joe can't just apply for a job with the ILWU. In rare cases where positions become available, they conduct a lottery.

The end result is that the ILWU-controlled ports are competing with each other for the coveted last place in the global Port Performance Index. Right now, it's held by the LA ports.

What do you think we should conclude from this? Is abuse more intrinsic to unions than it is to employers? What are the other problems?

If the doctor tells you that you need antibiotics to survive your infection, do you dwell on all the possible side effects, or do you just want to not die?

If this is not just being pendantic, it seems to imply that having no unions are better than having unions. Is that actually what you want to argue here? If not, what are you trying to contribute?
> Yikes. Well, I feel better now. Guess that's why they discontinued it.

My understanding is that the discontinuation was actually over patent issues or something in that general area.
> “Through iMessage, business users are only able to send enriched messages to iOS users and must rely on traditional SMS for all the other end users,” the letter, which was sent to internal market commissioner Thierry Breton, reportedly reads. iMessage is an important gateway between businesses and their customers, and this is “without doubt justification for Apple’s designation as gatekeeper for its iMessage service,” the letter argues.

This is contorted.

Any "business user" communicating with a broad customer base is using some CRM service because they have not-Apple business customers and customer sales/service wants to reach customers "where they are" while collating conversations in one CRM.

So they use a single tool that lets them talk to many channels:

https://www.freshworks.com/live-chat-software/messaging-chan...

Apple Business Chat is there. Businesses can already talk to Apple iMessage users, along with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Line, SMS, etc.

From the customer side, it looks like this: https://www.apple.com/ios/business-chat/

PS. Everyone who signed that letter captures, keeps, and uses SMS chat data for advertising / marketing / commercial (money making) law enforcement access / other "legitimate" purposes.
I think, based on the anti-union talking points I see, the media is most responsible for anti-union sentiment, whether it's the normal corporate friendly mainstream media or classic films like On the Waterfront where union corruption is a side plot. Complimenting this are books, biopics, news stories, etc. of mythologized biographies portraying some business leaders as people who have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, when they were really born into a privileged position (see: Gates, Musk, Zuck, etc.).
One is a business decision, the other one is people exercising their rights.
Okay. “Abuse” and “other problems”. I’m convinced already.

In this case its not about the EU in itself, but unions acting as gatekeepers for their membres as to avoid mistreatments and low wages.
