>taking a designer's mockup screenshot and building a fully functional React app with clean HTML/CSS– $120

build an entire product... for $120. assuming 1 full work day to complete (which is sort of unreasonable depending on the complexity of the app) this would be $15/hour. so minimum wage. Why not work at burger king instead?

> taking a designer's mockup screenshot and building a fully functional Vue app clean HTML/CSS and a Google Sheets API integration– $185

again, build their entire product PLUS integrate it into google sheets... for $185. hmmmmm...

> writing scrapers to organize data and then build an interface to make it searchable by location– $200

custom scrapers for whatever page your getting the data from, and a custom interface to get the data... for $200.

so these are really low prices for full projects, which leads me to believe that only non-american programmers will actually use this site because these projects are literally offering to pay less than minimum wage here. which, based on my experience on other similar sites, will lead to a large rate of fraud, payment problems, and code that straight up doesn't work.

good luck.
1: I had a severe burn on my crotch (FML) and was prescribed. Funny thing is I KNEW I would become dependent. I'm an addict. sober from cocaine and alcohol (was sober from coke for a couple years before pills, ironically opiates helped me quit drinking which was a big struggle for half of my 20s). No hyperbole, every relative on my fathers side of the family is an addict, going back generations. My dad is an alcoholic, my mom has some mental issues which when combined together are a recipe for addiction (I have bipolar 2 and my mom has depression among other things). I purposefully avoided opiate meds because I know my addiction struggles and knew I wouldn't be able to just take a few pills I would end up taking them for a long time. But, god damn that burn fucking hurt and it's hard for an addict to say no especially when I couldn't fucking walk or sleep. I kind of question why my doc prescribed, even though I know she was just trying to help. We literally just got finished talking about cocaine and struggle to get sober and then she prescribed Oxy... I don't blame her and I also think there is nothing to gain by blaming myself, even though yes it was my choice to take that first pill I don't think it was my choice to be an addict if it were that simple I wouldn't be an addict. blame doesn't serve a point, just like blaming oneself for getting cancer or having bipolar disorder. However I do think Docs still need to improve more and just help patients get through pain without take home pills. Weed helps, fuck Tylenol can be very very effective and being in pain for a week is much better than being dependent on a pill for the rest of your life imho.

2) 24 I tink

3) free prescription no co-pay! Then off the street about $1 per mg of oxy, online and in bulk I can get it for about $.66 per mg

4) originally from a doctor. Then from my coke dealer. Then from the dark net.

5) I haven't been able to stop for more than a couple days

Is there a transcript of what kind of questions were asked? I can imagine useful information being gleaned by questions like, "what was the nature of the attack, how were people able to get in, what exactly happened here, how did you store the data, why were you confident it was secure, etc?" That gives you a starting point of what the facts are, what was really experienced. When you are working from a ground zero of zero knowledge (and I bet most of these committee members have zero knowledge, if not all of them), it's good to establish facts of what happened before figuring out solutions.

Ugh. National IDs are common in Europe as well as other places where identity theft is mostly an exotic concept featured in the news about America. It's hard to call Belgium a totalitarian regime.

Whereas in countries without national IDs, people are forced to provide personal details to scores of vendors big and small who use these details for their purposes and may lose them to online criminals. But hey, we are protected against a hypothetical tyranny.

Populations can not grow exponentially for a long time, the volume of space you can colonize only grows with the third power of time given that you are limited to the speed of light. And within galaxies it's more like the second power due to the flat shape of galaxies.

With our current rate of population growth, I think about one or two percent per year if I remember correctly, we would only make it a few percent across the Milkyway before running out of resources even if we could travel at the speed of light. You can search my comment history, there is somewhere a more detailed comment with all the numbers and assumptions.

Bottom line is, if you want to colonialize the universe, you either need a population growth rate very close to zero and a lot of patience or you have to beat Einstein.

The main problem trying to be fixed here is "identity theft". What that crime is, I think, is not clearly understood. This is when a criminal defrauds a bank or other company by getting credit using your identifying information and then defaults. The bank then misinforms the credit bureaus that you defaulted on your loan and this lie by the bank hurts you when you want to get any type of loan. This crime would be better called "bank slander" and the banks that do it should be fined heavily with some money going to the person slandered.

Banks should have to know who they are loaning money to and if they make a mistake, that needs to be solely their problem. Then banks will figure out ways to confirm your identity better and people won't get into the hell that is trying to get the "bank slander" removed from their credit report.
Slowly.

Ask anybody who immigrated to the US, it's a royal pain. (Especially since you have global brands - like e.g. Mastercard - incapable of referencing their data from outside the US).

You start with a secured credit card for $200. Next, you buy a clunker of a car for all-cash. At that point, you have enough history to get a CC with $500-$1,000 limit. Now you pay everything through that CC. And make damn sure you're always 100% on time - a single slip costs you a lot of time setting up that history. After a year or two of that, you usually get a CC covering one or two months of income. Keep building.

It's a really painful process.

For some reason reading this reminded me of this old conversation about frameworks. http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?joel.3.219431....

In a lot of ways, this Leader, LeaderLeader thing is lot like Factory and FactoryFactory patterns in java. That FactoryFactory conversation came out when enterprise java was at its peak and everyone else were preaching that was the standard way of doing things. Then nodejs, rails and functional programming entered mainstream and it made java look very very complex and naturally everyone embraced simplicity and java itself could learn to be simple. It is possible the same is true for technology management.

There are a lot of underlying assumptions here. Like for e.g. This many layers are necessary. There is a right way to be a technology Leader or LeaderLeader and Technology Leader has some awesome supernatural powers to make things happen.

I am not sure if there is a great recipe for managing successful products/teams, if there were one, a lot of people with a lot of money would have done it by themselves with out need for "startups" to innovate. After some point, companies like Google and Microsoft tend to grow mostly by acquiring someone else, usually startups and there is very less LeaderLeader pattern in startups.

I am not too sure how much impactful the LeaderLeader pattern is in tech world. But as a creator of things for other people to use, it might be a better approach to see things from your user's perspective. It appears appealing to that many layers of organization leader hierarchy is a drain on human creative energy.

Idea for a service
What with telcos increasingly selling realtime data and ISPs doing the same, I have been entertaining the idea of a service that offers a few options:

1. A VPN that not only encrypts traffic, but logs nothing, and strips all ads, beacons, trackers, etc.

2. A remote desktop service running on FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Linux with choice of desktops that is itself using VPN'd traffic that can appear to be from any region needed or desired that likewise logs nothing and strips all ads, beacons, tracking, etc.

I think this could be particularly useful for mobile users as it's difficult to do some of this on a mobile device without rooting or using questionable apps.

I would, of course, want this service vetted by trusted open source industry professionals. The service would use only open source software running on non-Intel chipsets in a friendly set of locations.

Thoughts?

I used to sell something kind of similar...high cost, niche electronics. We didn't make it easier for hobbyists because they would often want to return the item after playing around. Then we couldn't sell it as a new item. The depreciation hit was significant.

The hobbyists were also a drain on support time, disproportionate to other customers.

Once the market settled, and the devices were closer to commodity prices, and our knowledge base was in better shape, we opened back up to them.
A trick I use for trying to fathom such large amounts of money would be "Assuming a conservative rate of return, how much money can my wealth generate?"

e.g. at 3%, Gates would generate ~$200M per month in returns. The bottom of the forbes 400 (~$2B) still pulls in $5M per month. If you just barely qualify for the "1-percenter" title, you "only" get $25k per month.

Not OP, but I actually do wish that, yes. I think a lot of the problems we're having with political deadlock on the federal level these days boil down to pulling too many divisive issues onto that level, where the resolution, whichever way it goes, applies to over 300 million people - so you end up with a large dissatisfied minority more often than not. Specific issues aside, it doesn't strike me as particularly democratic, either; and I'm not sure representative democracy can even meaningfully scale to the point where legislators ostensibly "represent" millions of people at once.

OTOH, if we had more federalism, I think the West Coast states might have been implementing their own full-fledged public healthcare system right now, instead of trying to come up with some compromise that the other half of the country can maybe accept (like ACA).

All that said, I don't see a problem with national ID. It's just as useful to the states as it is to the feds, and it's clear that something like that can only be run by the feds.
I heard it only on an NPR podcast, where they claimed the measure had support from "economists of all stripes." And actually, the proposed policy was much more drastic: complete elimination of corporate taxes. But clearly there are arguments on both sides of the issue.

If your private key is compromised (discovered by someone other than yourself) then it needs to be regenerated, whether it can be easily remembered or not. Getting a new key should be a huge pain in the ass, and the tests to prove that you are who you say you are should be strict.

Don't lose your key.

I wouldn't be opposed to a chip, but I doubt Americans are going to let that happen because they'll think big government is tracking them (which they already are, and a chip doesn't change that or expand their capabilities, but we're not talking about the most rational bunch here).
> In the vast majority of cases, you can iterate your way to a fair system with a clear rubric that controls for unconscious biases and establishes a substantial trail of evidence to support each judgement of performance. Actually doing that, especially when giving criticism, tends to be a matter of managerial skill.

I'm not sure this is true. A system with a clear rubric that will control for unconscious bias will be accused of reducing people to pure numbers and not consider factors that cannot be quantified. It's also entirely possible that the rubric may control for unconscious bias on the part of the manager, but introduce a whole new set of biases against one group or another.

This isn't to say we should make the effort. I actually feel that your point about managerial skill is perhaps the most important. Middle managers, the ones to whom ranking and performance evaluation fall, are often promoted from lower positions and do not have the background or training to be good managers. I'm not sure how to solve this problem, but in most organizations I've worked at this only way up is to management. Good workers turn into bad managers.
How well would that apply to assets that are hard to measure the value of? Ie a house, a business or a painting even. I think it would encourage a system where people somehow minimize what their assets appear to be worth - or how well they can be measured.

Given how Prop 13 was enacted to not push existing homeowners out of their homes if their property values increased significantly, would there be a similar push under such a system?
> ... maybe, Ansible should consider not using yaml for absolutely everything.

Maybe. But what problems with Ansible are you trying to solve by using additional, and perhaps domain specific, languages?

I haven't used Ansible, but I do use SaltStack, which also relies on YAML, and also uses Jinja, hence my interest here.

SaltStack, and I'm assuming Ansible can do this too, will happily use whatever you want, even raw python, as state (configuration) files, so long as they can generate yaml.

This is not as inelegant as it sounds :) -- it means configuration length & complexity can be represented by (or hidden behind) short, palatable algorithms.

As soon as the suggestion is made to introduce yet another DSL to a system, you end up with holy wars about which one, and then a total mess trying to integrate and support both.

Anyway, if you don't want to use YAML / Jinja, then eschew SaltStack, Ansible etc in favour of Chef, Puppet, SCCM, etc.
