A slave can escape though. It's all a matter of degrees, and where one draws the line between 'slavery' and 'freedom' depends entirely on one's world view. Personally I believe the crucial element is the psychology of a human being, and I believe that by that measure, 'true' freedom is much rarer than we think.

On the level of societies, I think a world where everyone would have too much freedom might actually not lead to optimal individual or collective happiness, and I think finding the balance is incredibly complicated.

All that said, I think the relative lack of security and freedom for many people in the US is a travesty and not fitting for a country that puts freedom front and center.
Yes. Yes it was.

People can wax lyrical all day about how there was nothing technically sophisticated about the phone, but the day the iPhone came out was the day the average user started caring about that sophistication.
Redfin Survey: One in Four Homebuyers Cites High Rent as Reason for Buying
LOL. Just because you put 'please' at the ass-end of your sentence doesn't forbid it from being useless, out of place, idiotic, or rude. Did you miss the population rates I leveraged in my other response? I've actually provided evidence for my claims, though they should have been well-understood already by this audience. What's your excuse for not offering a shred of evidence for or against what I've written here, besides calling it 'shallow'?

The article you're quoting, if anything, works towards my point not against it. Academia has run rampant with the false belief that capitalist events like the industrial revolution were on their whole exploitative. Entire sub-genres of academic study exist to explore on micro-levels events of injustice which often times are greatly exaggerated. Did you ever conceive of that being shallow?

Qualtim/Pushing7 | Madison, WI | Multiple Positions | ONSITE, Full-Time |

We're a multi-faceted marketing / web development firm. We're an established (20+ years) company in the Madison, WI area associated with the structural building component (think trusses and wall panels) industry, and looking for some new additions to our dev team.

We're looking for a PHP developer who has an affinity for Drupal development and an interest in creating customized solutions for a diverse set of clients in a variety of industries. If you'd like to help us build a better mousetrap, improve on existing solutions create entirely new ones, please get in touch. Additional information and instructions for submitting a resume can be found at http://www.qualtim.com/careers/web-developer.

Pushing7 is also looking for a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript dev. We write custom Node applications, with the occasional SPA or Metalsmith-powered static site, for a variety of clients solving a variety of problems - most recently engineering ones. We use Angular 1.x on the front end, with Koa on the backend and TypeScript along the whole stack. We've even gotten our hands dirty with hybrid mobile apps using Ionic and Cordova. If any of that jumps out to you, get in touch with me at nlange@qualtim.com; let's talk about your favorite npm module. Additional details for this position can be found at http://www.qualtim.com/careers/javascript-developer

I've been here for nearly eighteen months. It feels very much like a startuppy company - on-site childcare, rec facility, shoes-optional, cool with remote work - but with the work-life balance and stability of a "greyer" one. Madison is an awesome town, and since 2014 has been ranked by Livability.com as one of the best places to live in the USA.

That's a really bad example.

If Google or Apple start producing self-driving vehicles, they're part of the American auto industry. If GM then can't keep up with them, who cares? The American auto industry is still perfectly fine, just consists of different companies.

Now if the Obama Administration wouldn't invest into self-driving cars and companies from other countries would grow big in this space, there might not be much of an American auto industry left afterwards. If anything, not investing into such research would be contradictory.

> In particular, many of the GUI elements don't expose their inner widgets

But you know why, right? It's because it's supposed to be both cross-platform and native, so a particular platform may not use a nested label widget in a tabbed window, so it can't give you such an object.

Interesting this is helpful. I am looking for a conceptual model and inplementation. I have done small prototypes with crud, but I want to make sure I build with intent. Another component will be users who subscribe to 1-10 data feeds that in a poor case should not be more than 1 sec stale. Just trying to move from sloppy project to basic security & optimization.

This looks like a decent concept and I am currently thinking about the relational model, so thanks.
