The megacorps' refusal to negotiate or compromise is what caused the problem. They are the villains, not the working people being understaffed, underpaid, and hated on by selfish third parties who don't understand solidarity.
Teachers are also paid crap because they continue to work for starvation wages. They should strike more because they will not receive more compensation with gentle pleas that are convenient.
The point of strikes isn't to be unobtrusive or convenient. You're just saying people should work for nothing and not take the fat cats to task for underpaying them. Maybe if you stood for solidarity with the workers, you would have some credibility.
The HP 48GX got me through from high school college prep to EE/CS. I also happen to own an HP 48 overhead projector display and a thermal printer. Now, I just need an overhead projector to even use (the former). Sharing software was the killer app of the HP 48 G series, and the app that turned the serial IR port into a universal learning remote was a pranksters' dream because the IR LED was so overpowered.
I think it should be a tribute to Claude-Nicolas Fiechter,
Mika Heiskanen, and Bernard Parisse who came up with Erable. There is Giac/Xcas now that it is its spiritual successor.
Socialism for the rich when it affects them; deregulation, austerity, and price hikes for everyone else. Fun fact: The rich in America receive 2x as much help as social programs do, and that doesn't even count the pork MIC projects that is the defense budget. John Oliver even had a recent episode of how difficult it is to get Social Security. It took me 9 years and a lawyer. You're better off selling your organs than expecting any sort of help in America that doesn't treat you like a criminal at every opportunity.
Every well-funded nationstate has an "equations group", but it is rare to detect, much less publicize, their actions by design.
External buses and RF comms present massive attack surfaces that must be locked down with religious fervor including auditing, disabling, and management.
The corporate neocons and neoliberals are vampirically sacrificing and selling off essential commonwealth public infrastructure and cultural institutions for profit to the detriment of long term investment. The net result is decline and regression.
Yep. His efforts were completely counterproductive and worthless. Right analysis but entirely wrong and stupid prescription. I read several of his books out of tackling of infamous works like Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. I couldn't bring myself to read Henry Ford's books, however.
The lack of integrity and human values of the person is orthogonal to the issue but the issue is forevermore tainted and set back with such an infamous association. Antihero in not a good way, a ruinous villain who did infinitely more harm and zero good. Whatever the issue, the means to the end matter.
Technology singularity is around the corner as soon as the chips (mostly) design themselves. There will be a few engineers, zillions of semiskilled maintenance people making a pittance, and most of the world will be underemployed or unemployed. Technical people better understand this and unionize or they will find themselves going the way of piano tuners and Russian physicists. Slow boiling frog...
This zombie trope gets temporarily beaten to death in the media as a wedge issue every few months. Schools are sucking more and more selectively by demographic and generally for average Western pupils. Most people who read HN likely had or have access to private and excellent public college-prep schools. If not, then perhaps we need to steal ideas of French and Finnish schools, pay teachers more, and perhaps get boys to play outside, exercise, and socialize more.
There is a book about how women had better orgasms under Communism in the GDPR. While the premise seems far-fetched, it kind of makes sense and is inconvenient for adherents of the prevailing anarcho-capitalist worldview. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Women_Have_Better_Sex_Unde...
Saving a buck, being a traitor, and sacrificing quality all at the same time. Workers should both unionize and boycott any company that behaves that way.
The anti-pattern to be avoided is cobbling together a nonperformant grand centralized ESB and making it a SPoF and bottleneck for everything, but it depends entirely on the use-case. MQTT scales to millions of devices for low data rates. ZK works well for little bits of coherent distributed cluster metadata. Kafka has its niches. ZMQ helps in others.
Renting space in a colo and running EBGP on leased dark fiber to HE is real self hosting. VPSes while more convenient are definitely nothing like running metal.
For a lot of stuff that doesn't need constant public network connectivity, I choose to run a home lab.
Yep. The problem with outside advice is that it's too often a low-effort opinion missing the context founders in the arena have. Another problem is too many rich people don't fully intellectualize the advantages or dumb luck (timing) they had on their side, and tend to freely proclaim opinions that aren't based on evidence as "iron clad laws". The best thing you can do as a founder if you have noisy a board member or investor is to derisk their mandatory "suggestion" on a smaller scale. It's probably a waste of time, but maybe not.
