I think that whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding of elmu thinking that whole world works like USA. And even in USA, union members in average earn 18% more than others.

On the other side, strike and unionizing is one of basic workers rights here and you just don't fight unions in EU. As you will be losing more money than if you get to an agreement with them.

When elmu started his crusade against unions, I was laughing: "another USA manager that doesn't understand that he is no longer in states". But I never thought that he will be stupid enough to continue.

--- edit ---

I think also that most of young in USA and EU are in misunderstanding what Musk did and what he is fighting against. But I think they should and they SHOULD understand what solidarity means and what it can do. And why employers are trying to discredit unions, prevent them etc. - here you can check the Last Week Tonight on union busting in states: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk8dUXRpoy8

(the numbers are just for illustration, google them, they are public)

Musk fights against one union. With 100.000 members. That union is in federation with 10 other unions with 100.000 members and federations are joining into confederations.

Even first federations presents a formidable force, from political perspective (number of votes on state elections), to pure money and people power.

You cant win, this is now, for unions and federations of unions, cultural fight. Initial union is no longer important and even if they would want to stop, they cant. If he will be poking long enough whole EU will fight him, from politicians that cant afford to lose votes from unions members and on top of that, do you think that German car industry is happy about him on EU soil? They would gladly cover wages for anyone striking.

If ETUC joins (largest EU trade union), he will be against 45 million workers and 41 EU states, and additional 10 union federations, probably bringing together numbers of 100 million workers, 1/5 of EU population without counting smaller unions. There is no politician that would want to lose their member votes and absolutely no EU capitalist that would be stupid enough to fight them even in worse nightmare. The backlash will be so huge all over EU that he wont sell even a free sample of Tesla car except to the greatest "individualists/fanboys" and they will have car windows broken on daily basis as quislings.

That's why never before something like this happened. As no one would be stupid enough to tease them.

If I would be him, I would pull back when second union was in play and reach silent agreement that wouldn't come to the news. Now, with 20 unions in protest? With two countries involved and potential for whole EU?

That's why I am saying, that he just didn't understand what is he fighting against. My honest advice. Stop. Now. Dont wait.

This is probably the most pressing topic in Canadian politics at the moment. Cost of housing, both to buy and to rent, has scaled greatly out of pace with Canadian salaries. Our PM and his cabinet recently went on a retreat with the intention of creating an action plan on how to get us pointed in the right direction. They came back empty handed. [1]

Truthfully I don't think this is an issue the federal government is in a position to solve any time soon. The long and short is that our population has grown faster than our supply of housing, COVID being an unfortunately timed disruption which further strained that supply. Nothing was built for almost a year, but the population continued to grow.

If I had a singular policy suggestion, after having talked to some friends in the industry, it would be to pump federal money into expediting site plan approvals and environmental assessments done at a county or municipal level. Some of these offices have tiny rosters who end up being the bottlenecks for enormous projects which otherwise would be breaking ground. Environmental assessments are notoriously time-consuming and particular in Canada, something we're largely very proud of. That said, I believe if there were ever a time for Canadians to be okay with cutting corners if it meant getting more of us into homes, I think it would be now. From my understanding, there are many housing projects in Ontario for which construction could begin next week, if not for the Sisyphean approval processes.

Here's an example of a site plan approval process for a town in Ontario[2] - just imagine all the points in which that chain of communication can get gummed up and projects can sit idle. We're used to steps like this taking a couple weeks in tech, but in the land development industry things move s l o w.

Canadians often take pride in our ability to do things the way they're meant to be done and to follow the rules as presented, even when they might not make sense in the moment. I think occasionally our love of process can be our downfall.

There is a probably a good reason why they didn't elaborate on this:

"Our research began when we identified a gap in GCP’s security layer that was created for SQL Server."

It would have been interesting to see how they identified that security gap.

EasyUO scripting was my introduction to programming at age 14. By the time I got to college I was already a professional coder and I was able to enjoy CS as a recapitulation or reinterpretation of my foundational understanding instead of a dogmatic prescribed methodology as I saw in my object oriented/relational database bound peers. UO really sparked my whole life's passion accidentally by leaving the memory and registers readable/writable and the server requests unencrypted.

It is a shame that the cheat vs anti-cheat war has escalated to the point where kids today would rather pay $100 per month for access to a closed binary (with who-knows-what malware) which is able to bypass anti-cheat mechanisms rather than freely play with a live application that they are already invested in.

Windows > Tabs every single time. What helped me most was a good window manager:

• A single floating window acting as an opener*

• windows are always arranged in the case of tiling wms.

• In the case of Firefox user.css can help u remove the tab bar entirely. And opening in windows rather than tabs can be configured.

• I built my own window fuzzy searcher for finding windows.

The effect is compulsory need to close windows asap but keep a couple of windows forever that are actually for doing work. In my case :

• newsboat > firefox. • Cmus > firefox. • Aerc > firefox. • Irssi > firefox.

The list goes on and on.

The benefit is this: every job has it’s own window.

Note that still it is 100% the case that when not in “production/building” mode the default is consuming. This setup merely helps heighten awareness to the fact.

Hope it helps!
