Related to your first bullet-point, but there are also those who can't/won't attend because they refuse to be associated with the goings-on of the larger Church institution.

For one example, as recently as 1996, the Catholic Church ran slave-labour camps in Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland

When these camps were eventually shut down, some within the Church defended them, claiming they had done nothing wrong but had instead provided a service by enslaving these women. Not something many sane people want to be associated with.

> But groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda are basically ideologies that rely on guerilla warfare (al-Qaeda moreso than ISIS, since ISIS at least wants to establish a caliphate).

The group that later decided to call itself "The Islamic State in Iraq" used to be "Al-Qaeda in Iraq", and both it and its parent organization had the goal of establishing a caliphate then; this has always been an al-Qaeda goal.

Not that I disagree entirely however if Singapore is an oligarchic dictatorship then most democracies are. This includes UK & USA which we are discussing here.

Regardless Singapore has very low levels of corruption from what I have seen and experienced.
Yeah... that was what really got me. I could see doing it and then at the end being like, "Ok, here's what the deal is. I came at you like this because this job is high stress. When things go down, we lose millions of dollars. If you can't handle that type of pressure, you won't succeed here. [Insert meaningless compliment about having great potential or something if you really feel like not being an asshole, leave it out if you do.] However, it seems like you might not be a great fit for this position at this time."

Or... at least e-mail the internal candidates afterwards (there were 3 of us, none of us got the job) and let us know why. Or tell our managers and let them tell us. Something besides beating us down and letting us flap in the wind.

I've sailed a bit and seasickness is an unpredictable issue that affects many people, yet, people can and do eventually power thru it. And it comes back if you're on land for awhile. Some folks say it goes away permanently if you sail enough. I would imagine VR seasickness will have plenty of old wives tales handed down.

Socially/culturally yet another thing separating hard core gamers from the general population is probably not good. On the other hand, any future hard core VR gamer being able to jump on a real life boat and not puke is probably very good for the boating sports.

Another interesting cultural point is like many other people I don't get seasickness nausea even under pretty bad sea states until someone else pukes, then I start feeling queasy. I suspect this will be an issue for VR gamers at LAN parties. The first guy to puke at a LAN party who makes everyone else queasy is going to be a meme in 2030. I would imagine playing sound drops of people vomiting over teamspeak will be considered VR cheating, and likewise a soundboard app to generate vomiting sounds will be a cheap source of money.

Much as energy drinks are identified with hard core gamers, its not unlikely scopolamine sea sickness patches will be a thing in the gaming scene. Along with fake herbal preparations that don't work, people hiding the patch to pretend they're elite and seasickness proof, etc. And of course the patch has some interesting nasty side effects which will likely become part of gamer culture. I predict scopolamine patches will be sold decorated up like energy drinks.

Anyway if you're looking for some way to "tag along" with VR as a startup, look into anti-seasickness technology.

Python is a good language for writing glue code. Django abstracts a lot away with its ORM. If you stick to just providing an API, you'll still get some help from it.

Now is it better than assembling a little stack yourself with an ORM + a micro web framework? Well, perhaps not - though you still got the admin which can be handy. But next time you're going to need do to a project that won't benefit at all from being a SPA, Django will be helpful.

You can turn the question on its head - if you're just providing a relatively thin API, whatever you choose probably won't be terribly important as long as it is not something fragile that will be gone in 2 years. So don't invest too much thought into it.

I think this has some issues. For example I live in Ohio, so I noticed "Oberlin College" in the liberal arts section. But one of them is from Oberlin College in N.Y., where as the other two are from Ohio (Two different cities named Oberlin). I feel like they shouldn't be listed together - as far as I know, there is no association, and with such low numbers of people this seems like a bit of an issue.

As a software engineer developing decision making algorithms (e.g.: ranking, autonomous drone control, … etc), one has the potential to impact the experience of hundreds of millions. Ranking Facebook’s news feed stories, deciding which Google results show first, controlling Tesla’s autopilot, … etc.

At university one enjoys the freedom to implement complex algorithms delivering a great user experience but misses having impact. At companies one enjoys having impact but lacks the freedom of implementing complex algorithms since code must be super simple for ease of maintenance and must be performant as it runs billions of times every day to deliver real-time experience where +1 millisecond is too much time.

So I developed Vangav M (vangav.com). I thought "let’s abstract the problem and make the solution as simple as plotting the solution’s idea on paper while delivering maximum performance".

Any decision making algorithm is: a set of inputs, a set of outputs and relations connecting inputs with outputs. As the solution size grows it’s still pretty easy to explain on paper but it becomes exponentially complicated to write the algorithm and maintain it as more numbers and mathematical operators come into play.

Vangav M replaces the coding part with a simple json form that describes the solution. With the push of a button Vangav M takes care of implementing the most performant solution in any programming language, and provides a solution’s API with set, process and get functions.

"compressing hours of development and maintenance time into minutes while delivering a maximum performance solution"

Hey, how about a real argument, instead of one that doesn't rely on accusations of ignorance or appeal to credentials? That would be awesome.

> There might be things to do, but the owners would not be willing to pay people a living wage to do them.

The proper response is EITC or NIT. This takes the work that is below the worker's reservation wage and puts it above the worker's reservation wage.

Saying "there are no jobs available to 60% of the population" is a solution (BI) looking for a problem (no employment). If you were to actually come across this problem in the wild, where there was lots of work to be done but it was all below labor's reservation wage, the obvious answer would be to subsidize labor.
