I'm under the impression that the cultural differences are largely in how much you let out, not in what the expression looks like when you do.

Annoyance vs anger is all in how much you let out, no?
Just because it's the same as the original title doesn't mean it's not click bait. It just means the original title is click bait too.

A non clickbait-y title would explain what the article was about instead of creating mystery so you would follow through.
It depends on how you define "successful". Lot of definitions:

1. Building a six figure revenue for solo bootstrapped founder. Work from anywhere, no team and make enough to live comfortably and travel the world.

2. Build a small company with 1-10 million in revenue. Need a small team for that. Possibly some Angel funding.

3. Build a 10+ million revenue company. Need bigger teams and possibly VC funding for quick growth.

4. Build a 100+ million revenue company. 1000s of employees. Almost definitely need VC funding.

5. Build the idea behind a company, create a product that shows tremendous traction and then SELL to another company. Profit for founders even though no real value created over a long time.

Take your pick. Each option may have a different path. I would love to be in the 4th one and still working on how to get there :)
Wow this brings back memories. This is the book I first learned C with. Bought it at a video game store and it came with a install disk for the Borland C compiler taped to the back page.
One reason IBM could make the transition from electromechanical (not analog) systems to programmable computers is that it wasn't really a disruptive change to their business model or to their customers. They were still renting out punched-card business machines. On the other hand, the switch to digital cameras totally messed up Kodak's film-based business model.

Another factor is that both Thomas Watson Sr. and Jr. were very strong, effective leaders for IBM (based on what I've read and heard).
Perhaps I misread, but I got the impression they were going from Meteor front and back to React + Python. All I'm saying is that if you'd done that you wouldn't have to throw out everything to get React.

The fact we are all on the subway for the same basic purpose subliminally provides a democratizing, unifying and human environment.

The person next to you is different than you but is also the same as you. The person is real - not a media concocted persona based on how the person may look, what groups he may belong to or how the media interprets and communicates her assumed motivations.

Digital is great but there are still 24 hours in the day, so the opportunity cost for many of us, including me, is often human interaction. I for one am trying to increase my time with humans on the R train, and decrease my time with personas on social media.

Classic victim blaming. What you say is mostly true, but it completely glosses over the potential issues raised by this post. So what if the author made a mistake about using Freelancer.com? That doesn't change the fact that what Freelancer is _supposedly_ doing here is incredibly shady and they should be held accountable. The only real issue I have with the author's post is there are a lot of details missing. What did you do to step on the toes? Where are these chat logs? I can't assume that Freelancer is 100% in the wrong here without proper evidence and at least hearing their point of view. That being said, the author is using this as review a platform to raise attention to a potentially serious issue, and there should be no reason to immediately blame him with "sorry, it's your fault for using Freelancer to begin with... good luck."

That is most certainly not a thorough look at the trade offs, if that's what you were going for.

If you were trying to be rhetorical and win the argument through the use of emotions, instead of reaching the truth through the use of reason, then you could have disguised it a little better.

OK, sure. Charging more gives you access to the better class of clients. At age 23 I started out doing shitty freelance PHP work, included a bunch of fixed-price projects. Later on, at age 26/27, (I worked full-time in-between), I spent a year contracting for digital agencies at twice my 23-year-old rate, and had a much smoother time.

So I know first-hand the benefits of "going up in the world" and getting into a higher-quality network of clients. I now look at websites like ClientsFromHell.com and see freelancers managing their careers really badly, not knowing they could be doing much better.

All that is true but it's not what came through in your original comment. You could have said "Ouch, poor guy, he got shafted, but all of this was avoidable. He should start acting like a business rather than a temp worker, and aim to build up his skills, learn to market himself, and find a better class of clients". Instead, you victim-blamed him, and poured scorn on him for speaking out.
Your comment is unfair. These websites are not scams. A couple of years ago I was looking for 10-15h/week gigs and using one of competitors of freelancer.com proved to work for me. Was it annoying to bid for gigs? Yes. Was the quality of their service low? Yeah, I'd say so. Were salaries low? For someone coming from Eastern Europe - not at all. On top of that, I always got money on time, which is not always the case if you have a direct client.

Yes, you will be outbid by competitors from cheaper countries, but hey, welcome to reality where half of the stuff you buy is produced in China, because you compete with people and companies from all around the world.

And no, if you pay someone $10 to get a gig that'll bring you $100, you're not ripped off, this is how business works, people earn money by helping other people to make money.
RE-training is a poor choice of words.

If you are unemployed and sitting around, why not pick up some new skills if training is free? You can always go back to mining if it comes back. It’s not like learning something new means losing old knowledge.

If you know mining, and an electrician, a mine electrician will be payed much better than either alone. Combining skills is where it’s at.

Contrary to many here, I feel over the last year they made themselves totally relevant again. And I think that the negative reactions here are from people that aren't fully aware of the current state of the project.

Note that Meteor is much more than a data layer. Even though you won't find any easier system to deal with reactive data than their livequery system, I get that you don't want to be bound to Mongo or even need reactivity.

But it's also a server and build tool that has given our application:

- A stable upgrade path for almost 4 years where we could keep up with new ES features incrementally, with full backwards compatibility. In Javascript-framework land this is really unique. We've been able to keep adding features, expanding our product and building for our customers. While at the same time continuously update our codebase to the latest and greatest.

- By far the best easiest way to do code splitting (since 1.5) without any configuration or overlap in bundles. I don't know about any other tool that offers something similar. Webpack doesn't even come close in this area.

- Because they had node-fibers to get synchronous code from the start, now it's really easy to adopt to async/await.

- They have good integrations for React, Angular 1 & 2, Blaze and there are third-party integrations for Vue (haven't used that one myself)

- They're also the same people behind Apollo which people do seem to like for their data layer. And they announced Meteor will focus on full Apollo integration.

But yeah, their current data layer requires you to buy in to Mongo. And yes, there's no good separation of concerns in their data layer. And yes, the oplog tailing can't handle "facebook-scale" and I know you believe you need this. But picking this allowed our application (that needs a reactive data layer) to be delivered fast, gain customers and grow. Without Meteor, I'm pretty sure I would have ended up 2 years later with a nicer codebase and no customers.

TL;DR Have a look at their latest release (1.6), build a small application and chances are you might really like it.
I agree and as far as I can squint there is no real solution to this. Commercial platforms put their commercial needs ahead of anything and everything else. For that to work effectively they need mainstream content that the majority will be interested in and, if possible, applying guidance to make sure the value from all that mainstream content and mainstream eyeballs is maximised. Interesting and contrarian viewpoints, which might broaden people's opinions, simply need not apply or if they then they will be accorded the marginal position they deserve.

This is a pity. This piece was entertaining and informative as it points to the subtlety of these effects. Nobody necessarily needs to do anything - any algorithm or process that can optimise for any metric and produce this result - humans need not be involved in any way. This problem can only get worse as more automation, i.e. machine learning is applied and where the humans involved in the day to day running of the systems do not have the faintest clue how it works.
All trends show it's not making a comeback. The only thing actively pushing it on are government subsidies and programs intended to push it over alternative energies.
Rent them out
Care to explain how you think natural gas, solar, and wind aren't going to continue to crush demand for coal in the US? To top that off, there is almost no foreign demand at the price we can produce coal. Even still, downward pressure on prices and loosening of regulations drives companies toward mountaintop removal which employs far fewer workers at far lower wages.

Everyone needs to face that economically, US coal production increasingly doesn't makes sense.
It won't become the norm. I promise you, cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.
Next time just tell the person "No problem. Keep the money. I will publish the software for free online since you believe it does not work, let's see what others think."
The lead of this article is very hyperbolic. Even if a person competely defaults and allows default judgement against them, the maximum allowed penalty is a garnishment of 15% of income after tax. On a salary of $18,000 that would be at most $2,700 or $225 a month. That will be a never ending payment, but it's hardly time to go seppuku.

Aside from the hyperbole, I do think the article has a fair point. And there's a very simple solution. Align the interests of lenders with borrowers. There are a lot of ways to do this. One would be to enable borrowers to declare bankruptcy meaning lenders would not be throwing money around like beads at Mardis Gras.

Another option is to change the terms of students loans to be as special as their permanence is. Require student loans be paid back in terms of x% of income for the x% of years after graduation. This would heavily incentivize loan agencies into ensuring a college education does actually lead to a good job. The reduction in lending would also reduce the cost of education as a whole. As the article mentions, the bloating in tuition and other rates is mostly just a factor of greed. If you offer a product valued as practically priceless, and a consumer's available income is x then your price is going to approach x. 'Mardi gras lenders' push x higher and higher to no end.

Ultimately there are lots of solutions. But I expect we'll do nothing. As the 15% I mentioned above gaurantees that even 'bad loans' are good, from the perspective of a lender. Even if somebody gets stuck working in aggregate $30k jobs (inflation adjusted) for the next 50 years, that's $1.5 million with 15% there equaling out to $225k. That's an extremely healthy profit even on defaults. To New Orleans we go!

Another one of those 'blame the victim' responses. I work in an SME with more than 100 employees and I outsource legal work, HR work, payroll, tax accounting, property maintenance, web design, recruitment, marketing and lots of IT. Outsourcing specialisms to third parties is as old a society. A fundamental feature of our western democracies is a secure legal framework that means that I can use an agent and I can hold them responsible. When people don't pay, you can take them to court and recover that money. For some reason there is this idea that it is OK for Valley tech companies to work around that and use their size to fleece customers. It isn't, and it's going to catch up with them.

Traditional contracting agencies do this for me at the moment. I call them up and I ask for x work to be done, they find people, reference their work (or know them already). I pay the agency, they pay the contractor. The contractor gets to concentrate on their day job rather than marketing and sales. Most of them seem to use a third-party to do their bookkeeping and tax too. This is how long term contracts work, why should it not be OK for short-term ones? Or projects?
Maybe the OP was expecting something else than a string of blames and moral lessons in his situation. You are definitively an asshole.

> If you try to outsource those core responsibilities to another entity you only have yourself to blame.

This statement is objectively false. If you do you own marketing, sales, etc, then you have yourself to blame. If you outsource them, then you have the entity to blame. If a company claims to provide those things and fails, then harsh criticism is warranted. Maybe you meant that if you expect those responsibilities to be handled by a middleman than doesn't actually claim to offer them, then you have yourself to blame?

> I've done lots of event loops in the past (eg hellepoll in c++) and think that the cost of that is on the programmer - keeping track of things, callbacks, state machines and things and avoiding using the stack for state etc is all hard work and easy to mess up.

This is improving, even in C++. This is what the core loop of a line-based echo server could look like in C++17 (and something very similar compiles today on my machine)

void echo_loop (tcp::socket socket) {
io::streambuf buffer;
std::string line;
std::error_code ec;
do {
ec = co_await async_read_line (socket, buffer, line);
if (ec)
break;
ec = co_await async_write (socket, line);
} while (!ec);
}
Medical expenses are a top cause of bankruptcy in the United States (and many other countries). Dealing with this possibility should be a top priority. A person who is going to get wiped out financially by a car wreck is far more susceptible to disasters than someone who is covered by insurance. We don't know how severe the injuries were, but without insurance, even something relatively minor can wipe you out.

Back in the day, many employers provided insurance plans which would cover for things like this. The employee would miss some time for the injury, but the medical costs were largely covered. My parents were relatively poor and I had a life-threatening illness (months in the hospital) which was fully covered by insurance.

When you're working for yourself, you have to cover for these potential disasters. Money pending in your Freelancer account shouldn't be part of that planning.
