The phrase "piece of sh!t" for better or worse, is now so widespread its almost never meant literally. People who take it to heart shouldn't be working in _any_ client facing role.

It might be chinese culture to avoid criticize things directly, but it's also part of the chinese culture to give backhanded compliments like "5 out of 5 stars, when it works, which is never." I don't think the 笑里藏刀 (literally translated as "dagger hidden in the smile") aspect of chinese culture claims any moral high ground over the western straight shooting f* you.

I'm chinese too.

I've worked with a small hardware manufacturer for consumer electronics a few years back and they literally trashed every return (at least in the US market).

They used to just let customers keep them until people apparently caught on and took advantage of the policy.

I know they trashed them as I was the only company resource in the US and they shipped them to my house to be destroyed. :/

> One is hiring cattle. The other is hiring people.

You seem to be arguing against several points I never made. I took issue with your insinuation that you can just bring someone in for two hours and talk at length about some of their code that they bring it. That cuts out most of the hiring pool, which might be okay if you're Google, but for most companies isn't a smart move at all.

> What I am interested in is someone who has the right approach and attitude for the job, an ability to solve problems creatively and a significant enough desire to learn.

This has no correlation with programming as a hobby or having a wealth of freely reviewable code. Plenty of people love their job, are great at it, very creative, and fantastic technically and never write one line of code that isn't closed source or behind one or more NDAs. They go to work, do an amazing job, then go home after 8 hours and don't write any code or even touch a computer until the next work day.

In my opinion, Apple started losing its way when it started caring more about "fashion", which is not necessarily the same as (and it's often the opposite of) good design.
For those who can run another OS besides macOS, then Apple hardware has rarely been the best option, and never the cheapest. The point for many, like me, is the combination of both the hardware and software.

MQTT Perhaps? You could have a simple MQTT broker in your house that's the gateway to your in-home MQTT controlled/monitored devices. Your broker could easily establish bridge connections to other brokers for specific namespaces. Just need a simple method to define these needed bridge connections for the devices in the home. I'd feel a hell of a lot safer if all of my IoT type devices had zero access to the internet directly.

> This is a useful perspective to take if you're in sales. For a support engineer, not so much. When I did Tier 1 for credit cards, the mantra everywhere invoked was instead:
"The customer is not always right, but is always deserving of respect."

If you're going to split hairs to that degree I would absolutely expect you to notice that the customer called the product a piece of shit, not the support engineer.
Nothing about it was original or invented.
I'm contemplating this right now. I work in London because the extra money over working elsewhere in the UK more than pays the rent and I know people here now. I if lived further out and commuted then the cost of transport would almost wipe out the rental saving and I'd have two hours+ commute everyday instead of a healthier cycle through the park.

I could get a remote job for half the money and that would be worth it for a change of scenery living somewhere cheap despite the tanking pound. Personally I think I'd be more productive living in Asia working London hours, so 3 in the afternoon until 11pm, as this suits me more especially somewhere where there is little to do in the evening. It just suits my body clock.

I know this because I did it for a while despite the financial crisis ruining it at exactly the wrong time, happening two weeks after I left the country for two years. Now I need a financial crisis to stand a chance of buying a house I figure going back to that life is my better option for now.

> In my experience with some conservatives, it seems that they believe global warming is happening but they are skeptical of how effective left-leaning politicians can be in combating climate change.

This is a major point. It's not that conservatives (in general) don't think it's happening, but believe that the solutions provided won't yield results to how expensive or "sacrificing" they are. Especially when you have big lobbies involved and especially when you consider China and how they have no real plan on cutting emissions.
I think it's really the old 5-Ws training for journalists. Who, what, where, when, why. Then take the two biggest ones (in this case, who, what, where) and put them in the headline.
The messaging coming from Republican politicians is either that climate change is not happening, or that it is a natural cycle and nothing to do with humans. Both of these hypothesis are objectively false.

Setting that aside, emissions per GDP is an interesting and useful statistic, but it doesn't paint a complete picture. If you were to entirely eliminate the top three highest emissions per GDP countries from your list, you will have done nothing to combat climate change. If you sort that list by total emissions, the US ranks #2 a short distance behind China. China is actually fifth from the very bottom of that list.

It's a complex situation and will have an impact on the global economy no matter what. We can decide to do something now and take short-term losses to prevent massive devastation in the long term from doing nothing.

> I am really not impressed by any sides efforts to combat global warming.

Hmm. What would impress you? I honestly think climate change is the most important issue in the world right now, and I would love to know what we can do to get you on our side.

Your Startup Idea Is Bad – Now Make It Work
So it IS actually a machine for professional use, not just to draw some attention at coffee shop.
From the article:-

"conceived of the web in 1989 at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as a way to allow scientists around the world to share information with each other on the internet. He introduced a naming scheme (URIs), a communications protocol (HTTP), and a language for creating webpages (HTML). His open-source approach to coding the first browser and server is often credited with helping catalyzing the web’s rapid growth"

So no, not hypertext, not SGML, not MIME: URI, HTML (an application of SGML) and HTTP.
Sounds very familiar. I once made a planning AI for the xlockmore / xscreensaver Pacman. It was never included since it would require too much CPU on low-end machines. Nevertheless, it took me quite some time to debug a strange behavior while writing it. The planning system would plan around 50 steps ahead, minimizing the risk of being eaten by a ghost while maximizing the number of dots eaten. Strangely enough, it would continually decide to go towards the ghosts, instead of evading them. Every time I saw this happening, I decided to stop the game and debug my code. Looking through it for the umphth time, I became weary-eyed and let the simulation run for a bit longer. Awe-struck, I saw what Pacman was planning all along: have the ghosts closely follow behind him. This would minimize the probability of being fenced in by the four ghosts.

And this reminds me, I wrote that code 12 years ago, and I still want to incorporate it (with a switch) into the xscreensaver code, but never came to it...

Another pointless analogy. Food with poison in it is illegal to sell.

Copyright law is here to stay, rights holders will try to use technology to be able to squeeze every last $ out of their legally backed position and consumers have the collective powers to give those rights holders the finger.

Losing Startcon to Sydney was one of my top reasons other than that international startups (particularly fintech) seem to gravitate towards Sydney.

Melbourne does have some noticeable startups - Carsales.com.au, realestate.com.au, envato, seek but I think there isn't enough done to phrase them. If you are in Melbourne however I'd recommend coming a Inspire9 pitch night or a SiliconBeach meetup. Finally Andrew Hyde's writing speaks of some of the strengths in Melbourne http://andrewhy.de/why-your-startup-should-visit-melbourne/
Here are my first impressions. This has some pretty serious usability issues when compared to pocket, and I'm not 100% convinced it does more, even digging into the blog notes.

Let's start at folders. The folders appear to just be categories and are exactly the same as a tag except an item can only be in one folder. This is a limitation, not an improvement. When the word folder is used, I expect that there is some way to nest items and other folders within a folder. As it is, I can "tag" or "categorize" items into one section.

In the UI, I found myself having to click A LOT. Creating ~4 "folders", I had to focus the dialog box to type every time I hit "new folder" and then click again because pressing the enter key did not submit the dialog form. I should not have to use my mouse to focus dialogs that pop up and I should not need to click to dismiss them.

Another UI woe is in mass item management. I imported my pocket bookmarks and now they're all in an unclassified "folder". I don't see any way to mass-select links and move them into categories. There is no world where I would waste my time moving items one by one to categorize.
The hardware has mostly stalled out. A great CPU from 3 years ago is still more powerful than what most people are buying today. RAM and SSD space is plentiful enough to be a non issue for most people. Battery progress is steady but very slow. So, what's left to base a new laptop on GPU?
A new Mac Pro that can be upgraded by the user is great news for the Hackintosh community as well. There will be more drivers for more components.
It's true that one has to master a few but it is difficult in a rather unstable job market.

I am not complaining. I just sharing my concern. My perspective might be wrong, please comment.

Personally, my stack keeps changing with every job. I have worked on many diverse systems like vb.net desktop app, C# asp.net, java, django, jekyll, rails and I am honestly confused & lost. I will be hunting again in a couple of months.

Now I decided to start doing a personal project so I can focus on a stack and not worry of changing. I am focusing on js as I have spent most of the time in web apps and use html, js & css but my skill level is very average. Now I am learning js as I want to strength my front-end basics. I picked vuejs but the decision was tough one and I am not sure its the right one. While flask as my backend.

The variety of stack are just stressful. I am still not sure if this is a good choice for career or I should look at spring or python (django/flask) or ruby (rails) or go full on js with nodejs. React & angular are just nightmare. I am trying to not think of mobile. That is an ie6 nightmare all over again.

I am now looking for a steady job for 2 yrs with a particular stack as I can focus on it.

The health issue is another concern. I have stopped taking the lift for 1-2 floors and make a point to just go for 30 mins walk in the open air.

Emissions per GDP is a bit of a weird metric, don't you think? It disguises major variations within individual nations' economies.

It's hardly surprising that a developed-world, service economy would produce fewer emissions per GDP than a developing economy that is geared toward mining and manufacturing.

It's also worth noting that the likely benefactors of those developing-world emissions are the people in developed countries. So even regional estimates of emissions, let alone emissions per GDP, probably miss the point.

In my experience, there is a lot of opportunity for sharing code between mobile platforms that doesn't have any real downsides. Things like:

- data structures for your domain objects

- network code (just plug in an appropriate platform-specific driver)

- like you said, business logic - especially if the app has to work offline

- if you're using something like https://realm.io/, you could avoid a lot of duplication

Anything to do with the UI then has to be platform-specific of course.

I agree with all these criticisms. The anaconda installer, particularly the partitioning interface, is not at all intuitive. The first time I installed Fedora alongside an existing OS I thought it was really likely something would get messed up.

Debian's installer is excellent, in my experience.
When I went to compulsory school I was taught that competition between nations is what caused the arms race that preluded World War I. I was also told that it was the feeling (in Germany) of being humiliated by the Versaille treaty, as a nation, that laid the ground for World War II.

I fail to see how nationalism is going to help solve terrorism, bad working conditions, tax evasion and dysfunctional democratic institutions.

I am afraid that nationalism will lead to decreased understanding of and less acceptance towards cultural differences.

> > The theory is that the immigrants were willing to work for less so "stole" the menial, mind-numbing, often physical, & sometimes seasonal jobs.
> Except recent studies show that most EU migrants go for high skilled jobs and that the migrant impact on low skilled jobs is small - see below.

No studies to hand to back up my intuition, but looking at the balance of backgrounds in retail/cafes/restaurants (viewed from my position as a customer), and factory work (as someone who knows people who both work on and manage production lines) I find it hard to believe that immigration doesn't have a significant impact on those areas.

There is plenty of migration in my line of work (pretty technical, relatively well paid, significant experience needed) too of course. Healthcare is another sector that is likely to be affected by a reduction in incoming workers. But most of the people who cite immigration as a problem for their jobs are not, in my experience, generally qualified for any such technical/experienced roles.
