> Fiverr is literally named after a fixed $5 rate.

Which is not forced, no? I opened fiverr and can see quite a range of different rates.

Fiverr allows subcontracting, or at least it happens, and I choose the person who works for me. With uber I don't pick a specific driver, I just order a taxi.

> The client controls how and when the work is done. Uber can't just send a driver to drive somebody - somebody has to actually ask to be driven.

If you go down this route of logic, shop workers are self-employed because they don't have to forcibly sell items to customers, only selling the things the customer wants. It's worth reading the judgement to see just how controlling uber are in the UK with their drivers, and why they were found to be workers.

> Especially if you're not the one paying them.

Holiday, rest and minimum wage all come under the amount they say drivers get on average anyway (together add up to about half what they say drivers get). Payroll is a pretty simple task that even small businesses are required to do. Worker status doesn't confer that many rights, far fewer than "employee".
So how would you test this? Have two fields with different crops? Wind and insects lead to contamination.

...so two greenhouses. There are many ways to deal with things like soil enrichment, what's considered a pest and what's considered a weed. Some think that a consortium of specific "pests" and "weeds" if managed "properly" are net beneficial for instance.

There's different ways to water crops, rotate them, and the levels of biodiversity for a given acre over some time. There's climate differences by location and year, multigenerational effects not only on the plant but the soil, the insects...

How do you measure yield? What if there's 10% more product but the labor intensive expensive harvesting season in 30% longer... What if the gmo crops come out a different size, or aesthetically different, or having different shelf life, or different characteristics with regard to bruising and shipment or a different ratio of edible to non edible parts... What if there's the same average but a different variance?

Now let's presume you have all of that and one multibillion dollar company claims their patented seeds are better through a very expensive trial run.

Who funds the confirmations or the counter studies? What money is backing the non proprietary strains?

What about climatological and ecological externalities? Perhaps there's a carbon sequestration difference or toxicity not in an insect that come in contact but with the creatures that eat those insects...

If the fundamental claim is "this is better and is how we should feed billions of people; deploy this single strain globally at a massive scale..." Maybe it's OK.

I also don't have a dryer and I cook using gas.
Wow, this story makes me thing that we treat "hipster" pretty badly for trying to bring back retro stuff. Museums don't last forever and what better way to keep the past alive than to keep using it in the present. People need to keep shooting in film, using typewriters, restoring old cars, maintaining old technical documentation, just so we can keep having moments like this and ensure that culture lives on.
I don't even know what "irrational" means in this context.

If I enjoy using the keyboard and think it improves my performance, even if I am mistaken, how is that irrational? Happiness is not a measure of efficiency.

I don't think keeping locally grown food prices and employment up are the key issues when the harvests are failing. The argument of giving them money instead of food and let them handle it themselves is not bad per se, the food would still not come from Zambia or the other countries though. While food aid can act as a domestic subsidy for the country giving it, that doesn't mean that it inherently bad, just that the donor country gets something out of it as well.

The following are some details from the famine of 2002:

Hundreds have already died in Malawi and the threat of famine looms large in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho.

Crops have failed due to droughts and floods. Attempts to deal with the problem have been hampered by political chaos and the inadequate infrastructure in the most affected places.

The World Food Programme (WFP) said that southern Africa needs 1.2m tonnes of food to help it through the year. The EU and the US are helping, but the main problem is effective delivery.

Ridicule me all you guys want but I still write using just html/css/js and sublime text (no jquery either). And I have written a 30k line project using just that and php.

Being a filthy casual has it's upsides. I can do whatever I want insanely quick. Moving projects from machine to machine is quick as well. Only time I use command line is for git. I do have the advantage of having all my customers on a modern browser. But if that were not the case, only thing extra that I would need is babel. None of what OP mentions is "needed" to create a "modern" web app. Far from it.
If you have the most basic copyright law, then Google is liable, because they are distributing content they don't have permission to.

So tech companies want Safe Harbor. Media companies understand that safe harbor will enable some shadier businesses like megaupload (where the site owners are complicit in the content and hide behind safe harbor). So they say " OK for safe harbor, but we want a bit more protection for us, the content producers, as well." Thus a compromise is formed.

Most laws are comprises to get most people at the table, this seems like one of them.

There are people whose labor is worth $8/hr but not $11/hr. Raising the minimum wage will not result in "giving them a pile of cash", it will result in them no longer having a job.
Bought an imac in 2011 and the keyboard that came with it was amazing. I could type like the wind, but unfortunately it was wireless. Within the last year, it started glitching so I started looking for a new one... I wanted a wired one so that I wouldn't have to keep changing the damn batteries. I couldn't find the same version wired, so I took the dive and paid 100 some for a mechanical keyboard. I have cherry brown switches, with backlighting now. It's ok, but I can't type as fast anymore.

While the idea of government intervention in the free market is classically dismissed by right-wing politics, the reality of the past 40 years has been heavy intervention by US and many other Western governments.

However, unlike the forms of left-wing intervention that free-market thinkers decry, this intervention takes the form of tax breaks, bail-outs and guarantees against market failures by governments to industries and individual corporations. This has produced what's been called "socialism for the rich" in many countries, where financial institutions are free to act without fear of any consequence of negative repercussions. Just as steel mills were in Soviet Russia, or rice farmers in Mao's China.

Witness this week's apparent bailout guarantee by the UK government to Nissan, the TTIP, or the way the Japanese government behaved towards its financial sector in the 1990's.

There's actually a great way to track that - look at the cost of a Chipotle burrito in different cities. The price for a burrito in San Francisco went up with perfect correlation when the wage increased in San Francisco. The reason it's particularly useful for Chipotle is because they are entirely corporate owned, which means there are no franchise owners distorting the data (or rather, franchises are independently owned and many are not well run, and restaurants with lower prices would be used as data points to justify the wage increase when that restaurant may in fact be failing).

Not too long ago it was part of my job to analyze the minimum wage hike and how it will effect fast food restaurants. Like most things in the real world, the nitty gritty details are complicated. The gist of it is that fast food restaurants in the United States are going to become even less profitable as the minimum wage increases. And in an industry where it's considered great if your margins are 5%, that can be pretty bad.
Looks nice, couple of things.

> the reason new tools keep getting developed

That's a bad reason.

There's a solidly developed C library for dealing with HTTP, which is mature.

libcurl.

HTTP is developing, with WebSockets and the rest of the 2 spec.

C developers didn't immediately ditch what they use and fragment the ecosystem.

Curl got updated.

Python has a mature library, which is much younger than curl, called requests.

Python didn't fragment, they updated requests.

Here's where I have the biggest issue:

* Advice for C on which library to use, is probably still up to date 10 years later.

* Advice for Python on which library to use, is probably still up to date 5 years later.

* Advice for JavaScript on which library to use, is probably out of date 1 year later.

You are right it is a balancing act.

It would depend on the coding exercise; you cannot just have a 30min chat about a relevant practical example? I'm not sure I have met someone who can bullshit his/her way verbally out of a random practical coding issue which I can just describe in a few minutes and they can talk with me about. But that's not some 'pen down a tree balancing algo with the following time/space constraints'. Which you might not have been talking about anyway but which the OP was about.

The biggest recurring issue in any production-quality programming is the handling of edge cases. (Most frequent source of production issues is config management, but let's keep that out of the scope here.)

I would expect a really good design to consider the expected edge cases up-front, and take them into account. The goal cannot be a dogmatic "eliminate all edge cases" approach - because that can only become a self-defeating exercise in frustration. Instead the edge cases should become easier to detect and, as much as possible, not cascade. Debugging a subtle concurrency related timing issue or race condition is bad enough. Debugging the cascading failure and data loss due to a chain of them is a morale destroyer.

Understanding where these edge cases can crop up is important. Even more so, understanding why they appear, and how to address them, is the mark of a really good senior engineer.

For that reason I expect a senior to be able to still program. Senior engineers may not spend their time glazing at their editor, but I do expect any senior to spend plenty of their time with both code review and mentoring.
Then why do they remove the results from their so-called organic search based on DMCA requests?

I can also understand if the results are removed just from the USA based (google.com) site, but they are also removed from google.co.uk, google.co.in, etc. Since US Govt. has no jurisdiction over these other countries, I think its improper to apply DMCA blacklisting over there.

> inequality gets so bad that we get uprisings and revolutions

Poverty I think has more to do with political unstability than inequality. Having a large share of the population who cannot sustain a decent (for that time) way of life will create political tensions, not so much Paris Hilton's lifestyle.

I am much more worried about long term, mass unemployment in Europe for instance, than with the concentration of wealth of a few silicon valley billionnaires.

That's kind of the debate "no one should be rich" vs "no one should be poor". A lot of Piketty's focus is on the former where I think we should focus on the latter.

>O(n²) and O(n log n)

What about O(n!) and O(logn)?

I think that will probably explode even at microscopic input sizes.

Even in the real world, understanding what O is helps a lot. That doesn't mean you should use it everywhere or that you have to.

But it means you should understand how your code scales. Efficient code scales because it has a low order, inefficient code doesn't scale because it has a high order.

And if you replace the code, what have you done but change the order of the algorithm?

Computers are just a collection of functions with some order, some are O(n!), some O(1), some O(infinity) and some others are O(nlogn). Big-O is everywhere no matter if you admit it or not, so understanding it can be a big help to understand why Code A is faster or slower than Code B
No, I believe so too. But then I also believe assembly, C and (at least on paper but if possible also for real) creating a computer from base logic gates (7400 series for instance; easy to get at yard sales) are important for beginners to understand what is going on.

People who start at a very high level will take a very long time, if ever, to stop seeing the computer as a magic thing that 'does stuff somehow'.

I went to Bologna earlier this month and the only thing I had planned was a cooking course for one afternoon.

>An O(1) algorithm sounds great, until you realize that 1 means 1 hour for that particular algorithm, while a competing algorithm's O(n) might mean n seconds in reality.

Well, I'm not trying to miss the bigger picture, but if you're going to scale that your O(n) algorithm will quickly take longer than a O(1) algorithm.

I mean, let's just take a hashtable as example. This hash takes 1 hour to complete while you can search the list in milliseconds.

But what if the list has billions and billions of entries and it takes longer than 1 hour?

As some others said, Big-O is not something you use to choose one algorithm over the other, it's something you use to choose an algorithm that scales well and has acceptable performance.

O(n) vs O(1) is a rather tame comparison, what if your competing algorithm is a O(n!) or worse?

On paper this is true...

In reality this is only a win if you have the deep pockets of google and are able to implement all the things that Safe Harbor Requires, respond to all of the Automated and primary bogus requests in a timely fashion, and are willing to have to your platform censored to the extreme. YouTube can withstand it because of its inertia, many new platforms have tried and failed.

Safe Habor, as written, ensures YouTube's dominance in online self uploaded video.

Further Safe Habor does not protect you from being sued, it simply gives you a defense should you be sued. See the YouTube vs Viacom case.

AS such one will still have to pay lawyers to defend them, this results in many content platforms being shutdown, or never being created in the first place

No in reality Safe Habor only seems like a good thing on paper, and then only if you are a Copyright Maximalist that believe the current copyright law is acceptable or does not provide enough protection.
This is basically the fear of every defense company with any presence in the United States. It's well known within the industry that you can get screwed like this.
