> Even East Asia textile sweatshops offer work from home.

I'd like to learn more about this. Intuitively, it makes sense for something like this to be true; the "workers slaving away at assembly lines in factories 12 hours a day 7 days a week" meme seems a bit too ancient and well-established to be accurate and we definitely don't see that many sources of what the East Asia sweatshop lifestyle is actually like. Any links?
> I'm very much afraid that the real solution is probably a political one, not a technical one.

I disagree. You can trust strong enough crypto, at least to some reasonable extent. You definitely can't trust politicians saying "nah, we're not looking at it" (or anything else they might be saying).
I thought that the service was to just give me a monthly email digest of the best photos on Facebook so I don't have to go to the website. That I like in and of itself.

This I like too, I wouldn't personally be a subscriber, but I can see people who are very active on FB/Instagram really liking it.

Addition of index.html shrinks(!) redbean.com from size 204800 to size 204348, with changes starting from char 172938. That clearly corrupts the portable executable format.

It's worth noting that Facebook has a separate recruiting team for higher-level hires, starting at either IC5 or (more likely) IC6. In any case I know because it included me. From what I can tell, hiring at IC7 and above is so hard that the process for most candidates deviates in some way from what's usually described. I saw some really great hires (that might otherwise not have happened) that way, and some that were ... less great. Basically it increases the variance that the standard process is constructed to minimize at lower grades.
The post may have gotten a lot of up votes, but it doesn't mean he/she is right.

I'm pretty sure that those low TSA people would LOVE to get a better job, but guess what they're there and that's the reality of it. In a better reality, we wouldn't have this security theater. However, we should focus our angry/energy towards solutions that will bring better results.

Besides, if they quit, there lines of people to take their place. The economy isn't that great and there's lots of people looking for jobs.

(I'm not saying let them keep their jobs and security theater. Just saying not need waste energy on being rude to them.)
>That's way too 4D chess. He's essentially a drag performer who primarily performs for himself.

The President seldom if ever performs for himself on big decisions. There are so many lobbies and power interests moving their hands here and there, according to the tides of power.

It's just convenient for the masses to believe the President to be some kind of idiot (despite the fact that he is the President and they are random people which couldn't get that position if their lives dependent on it - or even much easier ones to get).

Trump is just uncouth and uncultured, with no filter. On some ways it's a disgrace. On others, it's a breath of honesty - between JFKs mafia types (and general non-worthiness, he was just made President by his family's money), Nixon's tapes, Reagans disastrous economics and policies, Bush's cowboyism, Bill Clinton's scandals, sex obsession and Epstein field trips, and Obama's backtracking on promises, warmongering, and empty rhetoric) most politicians are equally crass if not more, they just know how to not show it or show it in moderation.

Since Trump doesn't come from a politics background, he hasn't internalized this automatic filtering, instead he has been brought up on sales and media businesses, so he automatically takes the role of salesman and entertainer.

The Trade War with China thing was a long time coming for the interests of certain parts of the American establishment, and will be continued by Trumps successors. It wasn't some idiot's one-off.

And in those cases, unless you're clearly on top of the other side, there are lots of false bragging and BS symbolic moves that don't amount to much, so expect more of the "Tik Tok" style gestures in the years to come.

Networking and being known as the go-to guy for something many people need. For me it's been social media and apps, I've worked with startups and interactive agencies and seen it all. It often helps to give a free consultation and send in your own proposal to be paid corp-to-corp, then hire people to help you. It helps even more to have a small shop with a portfolio and be listed prominently for that particular technology.

If you want to go to the next level, create an open source project or start a blog, to get a reputation. The more people hear about you the more some of them will convert to potential customers, increasing ambient demand.

Look at Yehuda Katz with Ember for instance, or the guy Bob who wrote nvd3. Having a niche that can help businesses improve their bottom line pays very well.
It is a bit more complex than that, a generation of geeks have been socialised to believe that eating free pizza at work is "living the dream". Even guys who are well experienced in the industry can fall for it. There are a whole bunch of tricks a savvy employer can use that cost next to nothing compared to the overtime the workers do in return for it.

Hipchat is a notable service that seems to pick random phone numbers to send SMS notifications.

I don't think the author specifically wants to see T-Mobile die trying as much as he enjoys the benefits of T-Mobile's aggression on the entire industry, even if T-Mobile itself is not financially strong enough to survive its attack.

Please don't squeeze pennies here. Your time is astonishingly valuable. Don't squander it by doing it yourself.

I am a tax lawyer and have taken multiple accounting courses. I am not competent.

Software does not solve financial accounting (yet).

Do not hire yourself at $0 per hour. Use Quickbooks for Windows (not the online piece of crap or the Mac piece of crap). Pay a shit ton for a really good bookkeeper. Don't cheap out. Do weekly sit down reviews of your money with the bookkeeper. Fucking mandatory. Or you will financially die.

Personal experience speaking here.

Software will not fix your problem. It won't hit all of the points on your list. Use a human as glue for lots of little pieces that work well. The bonus of using a good human brain -- you don't lie to yourself and believe your own bullshit. You have another person telling you truth.

For receipts use any iPhone app that tracks expenses and lets you take pictures of the receipts. I use XpenseTrkr. It is adequate.

I really love T-Mobile, but its also a validation of all the ideas that traditional telecom regulation rejects. T-Mobile has focused its capital on urban areas and wealthier areas. My LTE download speeds in downtown Phila or DC are great. Service in the poor part of Wilmington where I live? I'm lucky to get 1-2 megabit on HSPA. People are rightfully excited about T-Mobile, but let's not forget that its success to date validates the method of ignoring rural and poorer areas to maximize service in Tue areas that are both dense enough to build out in a capital efficient way and wealthy enough to afford high speed service to justify the investment.
I agree with you that they've handled badly but I don't know how they should have handled it. Anyone got ideas on how they should have handled it?
I will switch to this if it is as good as Sublime Text, but with a more open API. Sublime Text's API is too restricted, and there's a ton of things I want in Sublime Text that IDEs have.. but I don't want a full-blown IDE.

Take the overall diff bar of most IDEs for example (Jetbrains, Netbeans, etc.). I want that in Sublime/Atom. There is a plug-in for Sublime to show diffs per line, but no way to manipulate the mini-map to show diffs at a glance.

http://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/files/2013/12/2.png

Edit:

See, this is inferior and what Sublime Text already has: http://atom.io/packages/git-diff

What's superior is a full-blown diff bar overview of the file.
It's arguably a different message. "This is the kind of cooperation we can do at the flick of a switch. The less sanctions post-Ukraine, the more of this."
For people reading these comments, Dubliners is amazing short story collection, on a level of its own. The Penguin Classic printing of it is what I have, and it's ideal because it has 76 pages of notes for all of the stories. Those cover phrases that were lost in the last 100 years, description of locations in Dublin, explanations of cultural differences, etc. Ulysses is very difference, but if wanting to read Joyce, my suggestion is to start with the Dubliners.
Most serious medical costs will far outstrip the increased salary. Usually you use that increased salary to pay some crazy insurance premiums/deductibles.
They are going to force everyone back into the office anyhow... upper management tends to place high on the narcissism spectrum... they need to see, feel, and experience their kingdom in person for maximum narcissistic supply.
> This seems like an extremely short-sighted view. If you have a string of successful projects, your salary will go up over time (you may have to switch jobs a few times though).

People like OP are happy on level though. They do not want a big raise and probably would prefer to not switch companies.

> If someone has no concern for ethics or humanity, I want to avoid working with that person. I also want to make sure that they do not get into a position of power.

I completely understand not hiring people like them.
Agreed, I never really saw the point of moving to Signal since they always felt shady to me. Why go through the effort to convince your friends to move from one shady chat client to another?

I think consistency is overrated, and a cause of countless undue issues.

We seem to mostly agree that diversity is important, and having employees from different background help bring different ideas and solutions to the table, react with more agility on unforeseen situations.

On a fundamental level, applying the same vision and forcing the same values and rituals on everyone looks to me at odds with what diversity is supposed to bring.

As an aside, if a company has a credit card processing division and mini-game producing divisions, I'd see a clear case for them to not have the same values nor the same priorities, and in the end the same culture. That's what I also felt reading accounts from UX designers at Google in the early days, when they seemed to be crushed by the 100% data driven culture from which they tried to carve a small niche.
That sounds really cool, and I'd love to see the result if/when you build it

This is cool in general, but I feel like it disrupts the flow of the writing/presentation. There is something fundamentally poetic about the structure and rhythm of the Tractatus. Perhaps that is why it has held so much appeal. In any case I feel like indentation or some other nesting convention found in software formatting would do a better job of visually representing the logical structure of the book without disrupting the flow.
These do not rely on tracking or personalization - which is very obvious to me (I don't play games - and they constantly have game promotions etc).

Google gets this much better - with a ton of SAAS / biz focused apps. So I imagine google is tracking me somehow (I use google search / chrome etc) and apple does not seem to be doing that good a job.

> hauling around a huge vehicle

I’ve seen several comments in this thread that conclude that it’s wasteful to have the truck bed when you are not using it. Going one level deeper, to the owner it doesn’t feel wasteful on a day to day basis because you forget it’s back there when you’re not using it. But it’s so handy when you do need it.

Former truck owner myself, I downsized to a car after moving to a more urban setting. It’s often on the weekends that I loathe not having to pickup for various furniture moves, gardening, etc. since I now have to borrow and friend’s or rent one.
Why is this being downvoted? It's an opposing view and they are being honest. I ordered a Model X, getting it in two weeks, and am looking for a pickup truck to eventually move to after the Model X. I would not buy this, sorry. People like me will compare Rivian to CyberTruck and I think it's a natural comparison. We aren't going to compare traditional pickups, though, because people like me don't want an ICE pickup truck. With that said, why would I not buy a Rivian? The plan is to wait till they've produced it for a year, compare to current electric pickup market, take advantage of Federal Tax credit of Rivian and evaluate if it's worth it. I am the suburban guy, I am a Tesla buyer, and I pride myself on engineering + beautiful design. Tesla HAD that for all their vehicles, imo. Cybertruck is a niche vehicle, I wish it well, I grew up in the 80's so it is nostalgic but omg it makes me want to vomit. Sorry, I wanted to buy it, really did, but 80's design for cars, clothes, and hairstyles was a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from, kinda like the shirt that stopped halfway down your waist. I am not an 80's fan....born 1977.
April 1st was my first response too. I mean, seriously? This is ridiculous. Is aerodynamics just out the window now?
isn't the electric-grid dependency completely antithetical to the ownership of an off-road, off-civilization vehicle ?

The key at least for me is to recognize that my wife's desire to clean and organize is a huge net positive for my life, with things like you just described being relatively small side effects.

Here's how I manage it. One important thing is to label anything that's messy and needs to remain that way "a work in progress.". It indicates to the wife that (a) you care about neatness and (b) there's an end in sight.

The other thing is to claim areas. Sounds like tools are your domain - have you discussed that maybe you should just be in charge of that one small part of your life? :)

Asking for feedback directly will never work. Instead, try asking a friend (or use a fake account) to ask for a reference about yourself. You can then be as targetted as you like..

It is mentioned in passing, but not discussed in depth. I don't think it plays a large role (mostly because it was a consequence of the economic development - they didn't just went off gold because they felt like it), most importantly because the same curve can be seen in other industrial economies in the same period - which didn't use gold before. I guess the computer revolution plays a large role, significantly altering many industries and the character of many occupations. Collective bargaining couldn't keep up fast enough, and thus wages and profits decoupled.
