But where corporate power with labor is scoped to each specific corporation, union power often crosses to many corporations, often even crossing to different industries. Many industries have needlessly suffered and died at the hands of overpowered unions.

Capitalism rarely extracts questionable value from society, and when it does it's normally the result of government interference in an industry in order to advantage one business vs another - creating non-value-based power imbalances like monopolies.

To the contrary, Capitalism has been proven time and again to provide maximum value for society.
So it's somehow C's fault that Unicode uses variable-length encoding, which is automatically going to be harder to process correctly at a byte-by-byte level than a fixed-length method, and also included known-C-incompatible null bytes?

Why would Lyft have any better margins than Uber once the subsidized growth period is over?

If anything Uber will have better margins as they can distribute their fixed costs across more rides due to their global availability.

>Bugs could destroy people's data (and the cloud won't necessarily help if the bugs corrupt data rather than erase it).

There's no reason to expect bugs if you have a comprehensive test suite and extensive internal and beta testing (like with a million of registered iOS developers running it for months).

Doubly so if you control most of the APIs and interactions with the OS tightly in your platform (as iOS does).

Those nations also have stronger social safety nets, including health and retirement benefits provided nationally rather than by the employer. Your first article mentions that operating costs per ride in the NYC metro are $4.11, compared to $2.61 in London. It also estimates though that $1 of that is health and retirement benefits.

You need to define work. Is the amount of time I spend learning a new framework/language also work? By that definition none of us are very smart.

If you mean to say work as defined by the specified project you need to determine if there is something else they are seeking that provides worth. Do they want to be seen as necessary? Do they need to learn the whole system/program to have a sense of job security. Some people love the whole idea of saying they have spent more time than anyone else working on the program/app at hand. It's BS I know but for the non technical manager those are the sweetest words.

It's not easy to make utilitarian calculations based solely off monetary units divided by time. Exchange value is never easy to determine. For you it may be easy to find another job that pays same or more for same monetary value divided by time. For others, it may not be so easy.
Unless you have U+0000 there isn't any other sequence of code points that has an 0x00 byte in UTF-8. I don't see this as a huge problem.

If you really do need it there are some C language libraries that use "pascal-ish" structs to do strings. UNICODE_STRING in Windows comes to mind. Doing strings in C doesn't force you to use C strings, it's just the most common thing to do.
Consider that unions are great in theory and in many circumstances have proven themselves corrupt to the core in practice.
IIRC it started out as computation, but was changed to batteries because they thought cluster computing was too hard to explain in a movie script.
One of the key reasons for having a lot of literal forms is because REBOL was designed as a messaging language. You can think of it as a data format as much as anything. Template literals in ES6 help with DSL support, which is fundamental in Red's design. It doesn't mean you can just include anything in Red, but the wide array of native forms lets you build a lot of embedded DSLs without resorting to string parsing. Being able to parse at the block level (i.e. datatype level) is really nice.

A couple other new features make dealing with non-loadable input easier too. You can use macros to pre-process data, trap errors that `load` triggers and still get back a block of values, or spec some simple rules in `system/lexer/pre-load`. That's another way we might deal with IPv6 values.
That results indicates that if you take children and go from "abused or neglected as infants, then shunted from one foster home or institution to the next" to a stable adopted family home, you can increase IQ scores.

Which is pretty obvious. There is always an amount of abuse that will destroy someone's IQ. Bringing them back to a decent middle-class upbringing will restore them to their baseline.

But once that baseline is achieved, evidence is that it can't generally be improved. One can learn skills and knowledge but IQ is stable. Above lower-middle class American abuse-free households, increases in SES don't affect IQ.

E.g. People have inherent talent at sprinting. Malnutrition or abuse can destroy this talent. But once people have decent upbringing, and try hard, and have support, what determines the champion is genetics. Which is why pretty much all champion sprinters have west African ancestry (since they have inherited traits that make them good sprinters).

EDIT: Here's a source for you on IQ heritability: American Psychological Association’s Task Force on Intelligence report.

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.134...

“If one simply combines all available correlations in a single analysis, the heritability (h2) works out to about .50 and the between-family variance (c2) to about .25.” And “By late adolescence h2 is around .75 and c2 is quite low (zero in some studies).” (p. 85).

It's pretty fantastic in these hyper sensitive times that unions get away with calling poor working people rats!
If anything you're underselling the existing hurdles. It was once thought that the brain was immunoprivileged, but now it's known to have its own immune system. As a result implants are prone to having scar tissue form around them, and after some years it starts to inhibit their ability to perform.
I agree with you, I started the book and I thought, "Why do people hate this? This is a joy." But, then it decayed into drivel, as you said. A shame. I think they could cut 100 pages and it would be a bit better.
We do this in lots of places. For example, it's against building code in most places to build a house without power grid feeds, running water, or septic/sewer access. Sometimes there are exceptions for "tiny houses" but other times not.

You yourself might want to go totally off the grid and/or rustic, but the reality is that you are likely not going to be the last person who ever lives in that house. Maybe you don't pay your taxes and the township ends up owning a lien on your house. They don't want to have to spend fifty grand installing electricity or running water before they can sell the house.

Depending on how big the technical deficit is here, it may not even be cost effective to retrofit after the fact (after all it still needs to meet code). And knocking down a house because the previous owner was a weirdo is terribly wasteful.

> allowing all players to bid on every single unowned property that a player lands on

This seems to have been the rule from Magie's 1923 patent.

"1. Land in Use - A player stopping on this space is supposed to be occupying and using the land, and pays to the owner thereof the amount of land rent indicated. If there is an Improvement on the land, he pays $100 in addition to the land rent. If a player is himself the owner of the space, he takes from the board the amount of rent indicated. If the space is for sale, that is, if the corresponding card is still on the board, all the players bid for it, the highest bidder paying to the board the amount of his bid and taking the card into his hand.[...]"

https://www.google.com/patents/US1509312

-----

edit: and the 1906 rule, except that the landing player just has to meet the highest bid, not beat it.

"RULE 7. Land Rent. --- When a player stops upon a lot owned by another player, he must pay the land rent to the owner. If he stops upon one of his own lots he pays nothing. If the lot is not yet owned by any of the players, it is "For Sale" and the player stopping upon it may purchase it at the original sale price, provided no other player bids more for it. If the player who has stopped upon it is willing to pay the highest price bid, he has the first option. If he cannot or does not want to pay the highest price bid, then the player bidding the highest price must take the lot at the price he has bid for it. If the first player does not by a lot and some other player does, the first player pays the land rent to the purchaser. If no player buys it the land rent is paid into the PUBLIC TREASURY. If the lot is thought the purchaser or takes the corresponding Title Deed card from the pack."

There are plenty of people saying the former when corporations act in their own interests.
Of course, and I wonder how equitable this control will be. Will it let the guy with the skill do it or will it be the friend of the union president?

Able-bodied men and women don't have jobs in America and you want a 'decent' wage floor of 150k for the chosen ones. Trade unions, the supposed bulwark of the left. Worker's rights, etc.

I fully expect people to support all this, have the unions endorse the Democrats, and then have discussions at afternoon tea about how everyone else just considers themselves "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" and votes against their own interest.

They want the jobs, man. And rightfully so. And when you stand there with your $150k-wage-floor job and they have to subsist on the dole because you decided to 'control the supply of labour', you shouldn't be surprised when they don't like you.

Unions and union workers are acting exactly as they're expected to under the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem. And everyone else is acting exactly as they are expected to as well. So I'm not surprised they're acting that way, but the Mafia act as expected to, and I'm damned if I'll back either of these.
I'm 28 myself, with experience primarily in web and ETL. I'm finding that even the big orgs are doing buzzword fishing on their jobs descriptions. MV* frameworks for largely static sites and data sets, served up to small, internal audiences, etc.

Strongly weighing my options for moving into another space such as embedded systems or DSP, where the problems are a bit more tangible.
Echoing others here, definitely just pick somewhere and get started. Spending time worrying about making the "right" decision is the worst thing you can do. I made that mistake when I was teaching myself and it cost me a few weeks until I finally just picked a language and went with it.
For me, it died when they dropped the *.edu email requirement.

I used it differently after that. I don't use it much at all any more. I have everyone's story hidden. I may pop back in to figure out a birthday date or some other fact about someone.

Many people use it like that now. They just block off a bunch of story/timelines and focus on a small subset of people.

No. Instead, this is probably an example of people on this forum not being representative of global Internet users. If you want actual data, look at their quarterly earnings [1] where they report user engagement metrics. Daily active users reached an all time high of 1,227 Billion in Q4. DAU/MAU reached an enviable all-time high 66%, etc.

There are some challenges in how they present the data and it is unclear what you are including in the definition of "Facebook". The report doesn't break out Instagram & WhatsApp separately. So there could be a decline on Facebook.com which is offset with increases elsewhere.

These days I made a project as a test for a job.

It required a SPA framework, I am pretty much used to Backbone but wanted to use this opportunity to check how are the new shiny things these days. So I picked up Vue.js

The architecture is pretty clean, minimalistic and well thought. Soon I realized how terrible documented most of the tools on js land are these days, it was very frustrating to see that most of the options are not well documented, so that you must find a suitable blog post or tutorial from someone that is used with all the quirks.

This is not to say that the issue is with JS itself or it's ecosystem, it may be or not, but this little anecdote is what I can share from this experience. I hope this is just an exception.

Because the solutions to these problems are unconscionable to tech nerds, whose entire life style is dependent on the happy belly of Western resource and energy profligacy. The solutions involve powerdown, a rollback of technological progress and refocus on survival and sustainability at a global scale, and quite possibly a significant reduction of the human population.

There's another potential simple fix. Remove the regulatory capture which enables this.

Enforce anti-trust law against medical companies. Remove all re-importation laws, which are purely a result of their lobbying. Allow safe, competitive drugs from abroad into the US market without spending billions to get them past the FDA.

We didn't get here by accident, it's due to years of medical companies lobbying to twist the law. Medical costs are now 1/5 of the US economy, that's a lot of vested interest in things not getting more efficient.

Circa 1999 REBOL was our language of choice at our tiny company. It allowed our small team to develop faster than our competitors. We still did a ton of PHP and Java because our clients required it but lots of our internal tools were REBOL based and were quite pleasant to use and extend.

I have been following Red from a distance waiting for it to be ready for the kind of usage I want to put it through (mostly small desktop apps). I think that Red / REBOL are among the most fun languages to use for personal projects.
