I think you're referring to a quote from a union leader. The general thought is that a well-paid, satisfied workforce is better for the company. We're not talking maximizing profits/IPO in the short term.
The Russia-China thing is a super interesting topic. It was always the case that Russia needed a strong industrial power with which it could exchange its resources. Resources too big even for a strong Russian industrial base and for much of history its shipping capacity. The partner industrial power could only be either Germany (since the late 19th century) or China (since let's say the 1970s). Either one would do but China is now by any measure the more trustworthy partner. Done. Germany and Europe haven't even begun to feel the pain of their choice.

'Facts' based on citations that no longer exist, or if they do exist, they remain on Archive.org's Wayback Machine. And then when you visit the resource in question, the author is not credible enough to be believed and their 'facts' are on shaky ground. It's turtles all the way down.
Having grown up in a rural place, I’d say the way infrastructure is built in America arguably serves the rural poor the worst. Totally dependent on cars to go anywhere, with effectively no choice but to spend a large portion of your income on a likely old and and unreliable vehicle, to get to a job that will happily fire you for being late if you have a problem with it. Once upon a time even quite small rural towns had actual shops, trains, even trams, that people could live nearby to, but we’ve mostly gotten rid of those.

You are being downvoted but I see you are merely quoting the article and the individual who stated that Swedish unions benefitted both employees and employers. My guess is those downvoting and commenting did not in fact read that paragraph.
Single use 'Hail Mary' style rockets
> but also platform, SDK, and developer tooling

This is also a strange argument. The "platform, SDK, and developer tooling" are actually funded by device sales because those things are inseparable form the cost of developing the operating systems themselves, which in turn is included in the device prices.
Excellent, that's precisely the thing I was looking for! Thank you! I see that there are some tricky issues that would have to be solved with regards to ergonomy, even with an imagined subset of Rust.
Related to that and that feeling that we aren't doing much more than the same features and these are just getting worse at those features, I think it is an easy question how much of this has been a "law of diminishing returns" and that so many new features come at the cost of the understanding and recognition of the old features. Maybe we didn't really want all that many new features and developers and product managers trying to justify their budgets' existence has been part of the problem (spending too much money developing new stuff is not a problem often expected here on HN).

I know that I sometimes lament the loss of Windows Phone 7 and Xbox 360-era voice recognition (proto-Cortana). It was absolutely stupid, had very few features, but it ran entirely on the device itself and was rock solid at recognizing the features it did support. You could just about whisper "Xbox pause" to a Kinect in the middle of an action scene of a loud movie with surround sound and expect it to respond immediately on a dime. But also it never seemed to accidentally trigger.
Suburban sprawl is literally a result of policy, not just "what people want". Most people would love to live in a gigantic castle in the Loire valley with a helicopter taking them to the office - should we subsidize that as well?

Enabling people's wants by subsidizing it from other people's pockets - makes for a very bad result.

Start removing tax breaks for home ownership, rationally spreading the burden of maintaining infrastructure and other fun things that are subsidized today - you'll quickly learn that most people will weigh their options and think twice about McMansions.

The reality is - many people would love to live in a small town, with a train station to take a reliable ride to work in the city. Look at what happened in England, when already subsidized train tickets from satellite towns rose in prices.

Sounds like an ideal job for AI.

AI, please read this COBOL code and rewrite it all in Rust. Understanding 85 COBOL Standard reserved words is orders of magnitude easier than understanding English. AI should bludgeon this task in no time.

And Rust can be 180,000x faster[1], all the code will be efficient and run on a mac mini or raspberry pi.

It sounds like the easiest way for AI startups to make a pitch and collect a big bounty from Pentagon.

There's some great advice in other threads. LLC in a friendly no-reporting, no-franchise-tax state is probably the best bet.
Most wood burning happens in more rural areas where people are harvesting the renewing resource on their own land, like fallen trees in winter. Many times, areas need to do controlled burns to prevent uncontrolled wild fires, and it's better to manage that burning for a purpose, useful heat, that lessens the heat needed from other energy sources that aren't renewable.
It's impossible to solve difficult problems without the will to do so.

People who are hired to replace striking workers.
they took $42billion to do the thing and then just did not do the thing. They are thieves who steal from you and me and should indeed be forced to do what they agreed to.
There are certainly regions where the weather is impractical to commute or run errands on bikes. But often all one needs is the proper gear and some willingness to change habits.
Regarding regulatory capture, I listened to an interview with Lena Khan, the current head of the FTC, and this exact thing came up as something regulators are worried about. I think regulators are aware of the danger of letting industry insiders regulate their own industry, so I'm hopeful for some sensible regulations that help promote rather than harm competition. The FTC also exists to prevent monopoly.
> whether there's a labour dispute

Crazy thought: if they strike and you can't get to work then don't go but put pressure on those who are at fault for the strike: stingy businesses.
> How did the folks in the 60s do this?

A huge commitment of resources relative to national output (2.5% of GDP over a decade—that's spending annually about 70% of what the US currently spends on defense), limited mission scope, limited planning for anything to be usable beyond “get to the moon”, and higher risk tolerance.

Also, counting both unmanned tests as part of the program, the 1960s moon program (Gemini + Apollo programs) took more than 20 launches given all that.
Amazon also thought it would be a conduit for subscriptions, and a conduit for in-app purchases.

I had seen market research a few years ago that basically said people don’t like buying this via voice without seeing an explicit bill/numbers on screen. That was around the time they announced the devices with a screen.
I think they're mostly esoteric social network parasites. the easy part is getting the license but the hard is finding clients and your skills are all intangible unless you can demonstrate those connections (easier I guess with social media).

it's just not a commodity a app can just sweep in and try to corner.

but it has been "disrupted" with companies like Zillow effectively trying to be buyers and sellers of real estate, driving up prices
A small fraction of Americans shop daily for food. For the majority, it's a weekly (or even less frequent) occurrence.

And no, fresh bread is not really a thing, outside of a few urbanish settings. A healthy proportion of bakeries don't even sell bread - only pastries, cakes, etc.
20 launches of reusable vehicles. At an estimated $40 Million per launch, 20 launches is still way cheaper than a single launch of an expendable moon rocket (Saturn V ~ $1.3 Billion per launch, Artemis ~ $ 4.1 Billion per launch).
> it is awful for a person to live in debt

Is an interesting premise when data is

> American households carry a total of $17.29 trillion in debt as of the third quarter of 2023, and the average household debt is $103,358 as of the second quarter of 2023.
ok they thought of it and never did it, which has the same effect
> Notwithstanding that the middle-class overwhelmingly prefers living in the suburbs. "quiet", "safe", etc.

Right, but they currently believe those things for reasons that are inexorably connected to those same policy choices.

However, there is no reason to assume that if those policies change, peoples impressions and preferences won't change too. Quite the opposite, actually - that's just how incentives (and the related PR) work.
The GIL is not a required language feature. Neither Jython nor IronPython have a GIL.

What would it mean to have a language standard? A publication from ISO or ECMA?

I ask because the Python Language Reference at https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html seems to be a (terse) language standard. Among other things, it highlights some of the things which are implementation defined, rather than language defined.
I mean... You don't even need to impose new taxes. Just having people in suburbia actually pay the actual costs of maintenance of the existing infrastructure, would make them rethink their decisions.
Solidarity Action

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity_action

In Australia, Latvia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom, solidarity action is theoretically illegal, and strikes can only be against the contractual employer.
I think GP means strike breaker. External contract workers to replace strikers.
What false dichotomy?

Cars, even EVs, are the main cause of small particulates in the air of our cities.

Cars are the #1 cause of death of children, followed by drowning.

Pedestrian deaths are actually on the rise for the past ten years or so in the US and Canada due to the increasing popularity of large SUVs and pickup trucks, which have poor visibility and blunt hoods.

It's a disaster for those of us outside the car and the saddest part is that it's a problem that has been solved in most of the developed world.
>the 3 year comment is the thing you're locking on?

What do you mean by locking on?

>You can only mention the period of time something was developed if NOTHING else occurs at the same time?

I think "I worked on a coat hanger for 3 years would be more clear." "I spent 3 years" literaly means that three years were used (spent) on it. Also it being the title of the video implies that. Basically, in terms of the title of the video, which is supposed to tell you the main idea, from the fact that the title isn't "I developed a new coat hanger" but "I spent 3 years working on a new coathanger," one might think that the three years were literaly spent on the coathanger. Putting numbers in a video title genrally improves clickrate. Also the fact that it took 3 years is more of a shocking claim so that in itself improves the click rate, which is somewhat dimminished if she took a 1.5 year break in between or something. I havn't watched the video by the way so my thoughts are based only on what I think the title implies, which is anyway what the discussion at hand is. All this said I do think it is possible three year were spent (or spent to the maximum extent possible). Lead times can be long in manufacuring and it is possible to spend a year just on verification and testing. The past few years has also seen a lot of supply chain issues.

Nice quote, have to remember.
>Unfortunately, I don’t know of a similarly easy and legal way to play the Dragon Quest games today.

As far as english releases goes:

I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VIII have been released for Android and iOS. There is no landscape mode and no controller support but they are still very much playable. Apart from VIII which is a 3D game and the portrait mode is very iffy, serviceable but not great at all. But as far as legality goes that's the only english digital release.

I, II, III are on Switch.
I mean, if unions are cartels, then so are corporate boards.
AI can never replace human relationships exactly because it is too available. The AI can do nothing but please you. Like in Hegel's master-slave dialectic, the slave's acceptance immediately becomes worthless to the master because the slave is not an equal and it happens only at the threat of death. Porn and AI girlfriends are only a substitute to people who are already limited to enjoyment in the Imaginary order. It is a consequence of the breakdown of the social contract and not the other way around, as a result of feminist politics and capitalist commodification of dating. Development of better AI accelerates this breakdown of society only insofar as it allows to banish even larger swathes of undesirable men to living in the proverbial sewer without them taking up arms against you; it is just enough to keep the starving man alive but nothing more than that.
It is not clear which of these feature users do not have with Orion?

In some respects Orion has more features than Firefox and Chrome, and certainly more than Safari.

It is also zero telemetry and comes with a built in ads and tracking blocker, something all these browsers are very far away from.

And Orion was faster than Safari to ship a patch for iLeakage WebKit vulnerability recently.

So I would really like to understand what makes your perception as such.
Yes, I was referring to the smartphone market itself.

Within each smartphone operating system, Apple has a monopoly on software sold for their devices.

But for Android, I thought it is trivial for end users to avoid the Play store for any software they want? If so, I would not describe that as a monopoly.
But humans failed to find an algorithmic solution for Go. All they could do is to throw a lot of data and get a bunch of coefficients without discovering underlying rules.

Same with drawing images and understanding language: this is not solved yet.

This is like showing an answer on an exam but failing to explain how you got it. I doubt you can get away with this.
for me as am experienced senior-engineer these are not "red flags" but challenges:

lets introduce modern ways of solving problems & automating processes, if they are feasible and meaningful ... (eg. sadly even container are not the proper tool for every use-case ... ;))

but a red flag would be for example, if those things are "carved in stone", eg.:

1. "if you work for us, you are not allowed to introduce modern methods", because $EXCUSE

2. we have to cling on to our inefficient/manual way of doing things, because $COLLEAGUE doesn't want to change his_hers habits originating from the mid to late 1990ties

3. etc...

been there, tried to change things despite such signs of resistance against change - didn't work out ... in every single case ;))

If the root cause is "too ugly, uninteresting and poor for anybody to want them romantically", what is the solution to that?

Well, I think this is letting perfect be the enemy of good. You could definitely improve the support for these types of vehicles and add incentives to purchases and use. As one example in CA you can’t drive on on roads that have a speed limit higher than like 40 or something. So adjusting speed limits in towns or providing exemptions for city streets’ right lanes or something would go along way with adoption.

I’m not saying you would ban cars, just incentivize using more economical modes of transport. My family of 4 would happily use a golf cart if my community had support for them on city streets.
Hmm, at this point I have to be in the office 4 days a week thanks to ratcheting up RTO, but my bike commute is the best thing about that, sitting around during the pandemic just made me lose muscle and feel down. In the PNW, snow and ice aren't usually a problem, so it's just lots of cold rain, but with decent gear that isn't really a problem.
This illustrates how ridiculously overvalued Tesla is.

Musk's Antisemitic Post Draws Criticism from Some Shareholders
I would put aside statistics and whether we completely understand how the economy works (we don't).

Just ask...are there are very fundamental differences between the finances of an individual and the government? There are. For starters, the government can simply print money and pay off debts. They can also choose, by their actions, to inflate away nominal liabilities.

So then it is reasonable to consider that "being in debt" may have different ramifications for the government than for an individual.
This is not explicitly stating that it is rape by any means, and I don't interpret it that way. It seemed to me that Maria and Setzer had a history already and he was stealing her away from her opera life, which she may or may not have wanted, we are not told whether or not she even wanted to work at the opera house, or what those conditions were. Casting characters in these negative lights without explicit proof is just silly. Especially after you get the backstory on Setzer and his love interest - nothing else in the game paints him as character that would do something awful like that.

The grounds for "FF6 has rape in it!" seems super super shaky. It feels like the sort of thing where people are decided that Satsuki & Mae from Totoro are really "dead and ghosts" during the entirety of the movie. It's silly.

Don't scare people away from a classic for things that aren't true.
This is the theory. In America, the union benefits the union first, the employee second, and the employer a very distant third if at all.
That isn't a correction, that is pedantry. Nobody is going to spend $100/month and thousands on equipment and then run their 10 Gbit/s network on 5e. The lengths to remain stable won't even bridge floors of a home let alone from end-to-end.

If it was free in terms of equipment, you might have a point. Since then 10 GB is just a "bonus" but it isn't, or even close. So you'd be cheaping out on the final 10% of the cost.
The state of off the shelf maker tools and parts is insane.

Recently built a custom LED controller based on a WT32 ETH01 (cheap, $8 on Aliexpress, ESP32 with an Ethernet port). I ended up building 3 revision, all in EasyEDA (Web-based EDA tool), which integrates directly into JLPCB (PCB manufacturer).

After submitting to JLPCB, they fabbed the PCBs, assembled them, and shipped them to West Coast USA in less than a week! For like an all-in cost of ~$10 per board, insane.

The esp-idf toolchain is amazing, and pretty well documented, with lots of concrete examples of getting peripherals up and running (SPI, Ethernet, TCP/IP stack).

Then I need custom enclosures, so got a Bambu Labs X1. Learning Fusion 360 was a bit of a lift, but a week later had a snap-fit, fully custom enclosure.

That combo of super easy, supplier integrated EDA, cheap and quick fab and assembly, good tools chains, and easy building of enclosures is night-and-day from doing hobby electronics back in early 2000s.

Choose a base ESP32 board, design and have a shield fabbed in a week, quickly code it up, done.
Pardon me if this is too simplistic, but wouldn't cutting back the budget begin to instil some fiscal responsibility into an organization?

Conducting an audit seems like just another expenditure in a climate of obscene overabundance of resources that encourages spending more and more.
The Apollo Lunar Module had 6.7m³ volume. Starship HLS should have around 1000m³.

Apollo LM had about a 5 ton dry mass. Starship LM would be probably well over 200.

Apollo LM got around with a ton of stages. Starship LM gets around with refueling flights.

This has turned in to a r/fuckcars thread.

Zoning reform is the cure, if we want 15 min cities. The market will do the work, if you let it. Plus, many problems are just housing problems in disguise (including homelessness). Rhetoric I see here about banning cars is both redundant and ridiculous. If people have more convenient options, they won't use cars anyway. If you deign to "ban" cars without a replacement people accept and find convenient, not only does that not help anyone, it will be ignored and cast off as fanaticism.

Granted as climate is an issue we want to address in the short-run, that can demand some imperative policy moves to encourage a faster transition. Still need zoning reform first though. Anything resembling "degrowth", however, will just make peoples lives worse in the developing world and here.
Ha. That makes sense, I wonder why or how that became a thing?

It's the same case in the US -- you see it most in locally owned mom-and-pop style stores, especially ones that have been around for a while.

It genuinely makes me wonder if it's out of ignorance, or if it's intentionally keeping a kind of old-school charm. "If apostrophes were good enough for my grandfather, they're good enough for me!"

Of course, there's also a store local to me that has "&AMP;" on its big sign instead of "&", so I don't want to read in too much intention. (And you can tell it's not the kind of business that can afford to have a replacement sign made.)
