I think there are about as many negative reasons for that as are positive ones.

Most of the things that were indeed good about 9-5 jobs a generation ago are simply no longer the case - while all bad things about them are still in.

We can't hope to get a pension for the payroll taxes the company pays for us - everyone knows that nearly every single government pension program will be insolvent by the time someone who is 30 now, retires. We won't be like our parents.

We mostly can't hope to buy a good house in a mortgage for the salary we get, because the prices are now sky high and to buy a usable house you need enormous sacrifice AND be in the top 5% income - which means infinite rat race with a huge chance to fail, AND you don't stand a chance to make much money on it as it appreciates, like your dad did 30 years ago.

And almost no job will be life-long because companies stay big for a much shorter time than duration of one's career these days. You can't depend on your job really.

So in a way, every job is closer to consulting 30 years ago now than to full-time 30 years ago, wrt to security and perks it gives you. So why bother?

Only thing that's left for the majority of the people to gain happiness out of work is to do something they love doing, and that is almost impossible in a 9-5 workplace because they are toxic by design - they were invented to crush human spirit and make people replaceable robots.

And we can't even blame these people much - they aren't losing much because during their lifetimes, almost all 9-5 jobs existing today will be automated away - while most self-employish ones will probably stay. By quitting now, they make themselves better prepared for inevitable future.

Personally, i know only a few people who do 9-5 and are not poor (one of them is my ex). Most of the people i know never worked for hire and they are effectively retired ('i'll do something when i feel like it, and it promises a lot of money. maybe') by their 35-40 years.
>I'll bet that React will be a whole bunch faster than whatever DOM reconciliation library you build up from scraps of vanilla JS

You don't have to bet, you can verify the results yourself. Look here at these benchmarks [0] and compare, Simulacra.js is 22-42% faster than React v15 (depending on whether you also use Redux or MobX). My "scraps of vanilla JS" performs faster! Vanilla without frameworks/libraries is and always will be king of the performance game, though.

> When this issue first surfaced, I thought it was much more towards the line of flirting which went overboard.

"Flirting which goes overboard" is perhaps understandable from a co-worker or peer. It is absolutely, 100% an abuse of power when a VC does it to a potential investee. Imagine it from the woman's point of view. Suppose you had an idea you worked long and hard on, and then when you present it to a VC, he starts flirting with you? What do you do? Are you worried that spurning his advances will jeopardize your potential funding? Worse, it has to be incredibly demoralizing to want to be treated in the basis of your accomplishments but then know the VC is judging you through the primary lens of sex.

Fuck that; my computer, my rules.

I had a funny conversation recently with someone who was arguing that I was breaking etiquette, or perhaps an implied contract (it wasn't clear) by messing with cookies. He realized the absurdity about the time I asked if I was ethically obligated to back up and restore the cookies in case of drive failure, but people have some really odd notions about their right to control state on my machine.

In some ways I prefer the black-hat types; at least they're aware that they're working against my interests and don't become indignant when I point it out.

In my experience so far and what I was told was bank on 1000hrs worked in a year.. figure out how much you want to make in that many hours. You need to triple your FTE salary because insurance, taxes, and savings(401k)). For me that comes to about $105-125 an hour.

My experience is that your price is set by how much work you want. When I first started I had a really low rate, and I complained to a much more seasoned freelancer that I had to much work.. and he responded with something that seems so obvious now, but at the time I didn't even think this way. He told me, "If you have to much work, you aren't charging enough." So over the next 3 or so months I kept raising my rates until I found a happy medium between the # of clients I have and how much I'm bringing in.

My work has benefited from it because I'm not having to work 50hr weeks to make the same amount of money. The hours my clients are getting are much higher quality, and my work life balance is sane.

Of 112 cities and towns in the UK, only 15 of them have less people commuting to work by car than the sum of walking, cycling, and public transport. That's only 14% of towns and cities.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U9f-g8ETvljw-YAZbFpW...

In the UK 6M people drive to work each day, 1M of them live within 20 minute walking distance of work, and 3.5M live within 20 minute bike ride of work.

However to blame them for making a transport choice over another transport choice is to not recognise that Local Authorities and National Governments have direct responsibility for ensuring there is real perceived safe choices.

There is no point berating people for choosing to drive to work, when the bus service takes you to the central bus hub and you have to buy two tickets to get to work. Unless your local authority provides end to end protected cycle networks why would you get on a bike?
Sorry, missed this when you posted.

No that's with 3 separate company's. The first 2 I was senior developer/team lead and the current company I am CTO/Director.

My current team (that I have built) is fully remote with developers in Cornwall, Scotland, Spain and India. Building a remote team has allowed me to hire the team that I want rather than picking the best of what's closest to our office. We achieve more and managing teams remotely is not hard.

Interestingly, I also find remote developers stay engaged longer and appreciate the benefits that remote working brings.
I did not say it was better, I said it was very popular (I even weaseled on that - I did not say it was "most popular" because I don't know that).

I see now, that the bindObject() function takes a mapper from data to DOM.

There are two downsides to this:

1) You have to define twice where the data is displayed. Once in the template and then again in the mapper.

2) <div>{{NAME}}</div> explicitly tells the reader "The name goes here". In your solution one would have to look it up in the mapper to be sure what goes where.

Riding a motorcycle at night in the rain through city streets is a bit of a pain, at least in my experience. Rain on the visor is worse for visibility than the on a car windscreen, making it hard to spot the many cyclists without lights and wearing dark clothing - even the properly lit ones are harder to spot due to the effect on lights of the drops of water on the visor.

Whilst looking out to avoid hitting cyclists a motorcyclist must also keep an eye on larger motor vehicles, of course.

Everyone everwhere in business loves growth. If there's a new market that never existed before, or if you can take away a competitor's share, you win.

It makes sense for Intel and its competitors to invest in growth markets like IoT. But if its offerings don't meet the need or the R&D expense doesn't pay off after a few years, it makes sense to retreat.

> The number of radio stations that play something "new" are VASTLY outnumbered by the radio stations that play the same things over and over and over.

That's true. I'm not really convinced it's a reflection of what people want though, so much as a reflection of the bare minimum necessary to satisfy listeners.

I feel it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy though --- it sells because it's there.. but everyone complains about it.

And it's there because it's easier for companies to repeat the same thing than to make something new. It's not necessarily a reflection of what people want. It's more like.. the lowest common denominator.

I think in the end, play time and music popularity are much more complicated social phenomena than whether people think a song "is good" or not.

However, maybe you're right in that this phenomenon could play to the benefit of AI-generated music. But I really think it will hit the limits of people's patience, quickly.

The article or the judge (not sure which) suggests using incognito mode. While this will keep browsing history private for a particular session, it's only effective locally. Tracking from the server is still possible either through being logged in or through browser fingerprinting, which is surprisingly accurate.

Over the last 20 years or so, the consensus has grown in Indo-European linguistics that Proto-Indo-European had only the animate/inanimate distinction mentioned above. After the Anatolian branch and possibly Tocharian split off from the other Indo-European languages, the remaining core of IE languages developed the three genders masculine, feminine, and neuter.

The idea that Lithuanian is extremely conservative from a PIE perspective is rather outdated. Lithuanian does preserve a number of features of what might be termed “Proto-Nuclear-Indo-European” (to use the terminology of Lundvist & Yates), but the insights from the Anatolian languages show that not all of these features can be reconstructed back to Proto-Indo-European itself.
