You can fire them after six weeks, which in the grand scheme of things is not that long. I've been places where it takes longer to get requirements back from clients.

I feel like you missed my point that it is not in a union's interest to protect low-performing workers. A union cannot survive without jobs, and union members are just as frustrated as anyone else when someone is not pulling their weight.

To your point about labor restrictions, unions gave us two day weekends and forty hour weeks. Modern labor practices are almost entirely defined by things unions fought for and standardized. The restrictions we have on work now didn't nebulously appear from the goodwill of employers.

People are absolutely fired for no reason all the time. Sometimes their boss is having a bad day. Maybe their manager is prejudiced against people wearing green shirts. Sometimes people are (illegally) fired for joining a union. People are not always rational, and that doesn't change between their work and personal lives.

Unions can and do exist in right to work states.

The point of a union is not job security. It's about giving workers collective power they may not otherwise have. Historically unions have been painted as extremely antagonistic towards companies in the United States, but there's no reason that has to be true.

A well-run union recognizes that their survival is tied to the company's survival, and as long as both sides engage in good faith, they should reach an agreement that's mutually beneficial. To your point about job security, no one I know in unions wants to keep all employees no matter what. What people want is protection from being fired for no reason. Usually that means something like getting a PIP and six weeks to improve performance. Is that such an unreasonable ask? That way the employee has a chance to keep their job, and the company can potentially avoid the expense of hiring and training a new employee.

What do unions have to do with small government? A union contract is an agreement between two private parties.

It doesn't.

You can get displays from Adafruit for $22 [0] or from Waveshare [1] even cheaper if you're willing to do a little more work. I've used both and they're both pretty nice.

This is great, but they're solving the wrong problem. Using soap and shampoo dispensers is a lot easier and more environmentally friendly, but there's still a bit of a stigma around liquid soap coming from a box stuck on the wall.

Perhaps LinkedIn is not for you.

Is it really that difficult to imagine a company that treats its workers fairly succeeding?

data.world is also a B Corp [0], although having worked for a different B Corp down the street from them, it doesn't mean much.

If you're in the US Reed Art & Imaging [0] is one of the best photo printing companies in the United States. They're (I think) the only commercial studio licensed to use the true Diasec process in the US. Diasec is what most museums prefer for their photo prints, just as a reference of quality.

I've also used White Wall [1] in Germany with similar results. They use basically the same process, but an unlicensed version. Bumblejax [2] in Seattle is also great.

The other thing you can look for is local camera stores that still develop film. Chances are they'll have a high quality printer and paper. Giclée printing (basically very high quality inkjet) is what's most popular right now and supposedly is the most durable, but I personally prefer chromogenic (C-type) prints which is where they use lasers to expose photo-sensitive paper. There aren't many places doing C-type prints anymore, so that's generally a mark of quality.

Making this available for free to all season ticket holders which is a really nice benefit. Right almost Austin FC games are broadcast locally over the air, but I'm really excited about being able to watch easily when I travel.

Right now I work for Aledade [1] where we're focused on improving outcomes while lowering cost of care for Medicare patients. The amount of good we do in the world is directly aligned with how we make money, so there's never conflict between doing the right thing and doing the thing that will make us the most money. We have a Python backend and Vue frontend, a lot of unit tests, and a lot of really great people.

Previously I worked at findhelp [2]. I loved the mission, helping people locate community resources, but leadership was really focused on chasing money rather than focusing on user experience. Occasionally customers asked us to do things that would actively hamper the ability of people in marginalized groups to find programs aimed at helping them, and we usually obliged. I know a few people that have moved over to their chief competitor Unite Us [3] and they seem happier there.

There are 750 million acres of forest in the US and each drone can cover 40 acres. That's 18,000,000 drones required.

This needs a (2016) tag.

This is incredibly cool.

There's a Bitcoin ETF now. That should serve as a good proxy for crypto hype.

Calling people easily offended and saying they’re strangling discourse is not an effective way of starting a conversation. I’m very curious what your threshold for baiting is given there’s absolutely no substance to the GP’s post.

Chromium is based on Blink, not WebKit

That's exactly what James Damore is.

Having a shallower flange distance theoretically allows for an improvement in image quality. The amount of air between the lens and sensor causes a small amount of diffraction since air isn't perfectly clear. The combination of diffraction caused by that gap and a super narrow depth of field is why most camera mounts don't have a lens wider than ~f/1.2. I can't imagine it would make much of a difference at narrower apertures, but there is at least a basis for having better image quality on a mirrorless sensor.

But I totally agree with you, the advances in optical technology and the EVFs make a much bigger difference.

To be fair, he didn't invent it either. He was just the first to use one with a computer.

FireWire predates the Game Boy by three years.

There's a very similarly named InStok [1] that offers a website.

You might be interested in Paintbrush [0]. It's a free open source native app that's extremely close to MS Paint in functionality.

It keeps the one on the right. They explain it in the PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0584/

Most people wouldn't consider Valve a startup because they haven't taken outside investment. They're just a private company.
