Health insurance I agree is a problem that needs to be solved independently from employers. In fact, if we actually manage to solve healthcare at some point in the future the gig economy will only grow more as it will become more feasible to move from employer to employer.

Unemployment is best handled by keeping your own savings I'd say, though that's tough for some to grasp in a nation with little financial education.

My first answer to the OP sounded a lot more judgmental than intended.

His post is fine although I would try to spare fellow HNrs a visit to the site just search for basic information like duration and how much it costs or how it compares to similar online resources.
I may have understood wrong, but it seems to me that for your maps degrade, the tracking may relate very much to the function of the service. How is the server supposed to remember the name you gave to each point without tracking you? Remember, there are many round-trips to the server when you're scrolling and resizing a map. They could always move point-naming override client side, but that's a pretty big change.
Can anyone point to a proof that for similar non-isosceles right triangles, the area is proportional to the square of a side? Can that be generalized to other shapes?

> Change in China will not and cannot come from foreign companies operating there.

It can and it must. These companies can and should lobby their governments to place tariffs and restrictions on Chinese companies and their products/services, unless the Chinese become a more open society. An uncensored Google in China would encourage democratic reforms. Democratic reforms would bring Chinese labor rights closer to a Western standard, eroding a principal reason Western firms outsource to China. This rising tide would lift all boats except for the Communist Party's.

History is filled with examples of countries which became more free and then grew through openness and trade. These countries became new markets for companies like Google and many others. What we lack today is leaders with the vision and courage to follow this path, both in politics and business.
Google Fiber hit a lot of roadblocks along the way that slowed things down. You have the lawsuit from AT&T against local government in Louisville[0]. There was also a lot of arguments[1][2] around the country for Google trying to access utility poles to hang their wires.

Incumbents tried their hardest to prevent Google from hanging new wires. Many of the laws in-place today make it difficult for new companies to hang wires, which I believe was a reaction from the telegraph days[3].

>That is great argument for why full coverage is nonsense. Why would you test getters, setters and constructors if they do little?

Errors and code changes can happen at anytime and anywhere and in places you never look. You have full coverage for full safety.

>I read and understand both just fine. Moreover, second one must have a place where equivalent of config and client objects go - but I dont see where it is. Or, you added do-nothing config and client objects go to OOP example to make it look worst. OOP example also have address twice, subject twice and message twice.

The function doesn't need a config object or a client object because those are patterns and abstractions that are unnecessary. That is the point of the article. Patterns that are blindly followed religiously and abstractions used in a way that is excessive.

>The trouble is, that readers dont see it.

It's not possible to speak about what other people see. You can only speak to your own intelligence which is the only logical possibility here.

>The point of functional was analogy.

The point was that you think functional and oop are just two different styles of programming that are both equal and good. This is incorrect. One is better than the other but at the end of the day I wasn't even comparing those two styles.

I would strongly advise against that. DU (Depleted Uranium) is not (very) radioactive, but it is still extremely toxic (as toxic as unprocessed Uranium, IIRC), and also carcinogenic.

If you ate off of it, you would become very sick, very quickly.

So, DON'T.

But they do taste differently. I'm not a salt expert, so can't really speculate why, but what's sold as table salt -vs- sea salt -vs- pink here has a massive difference in taste if you use a lot of it. Probably won't tell any difference if you're just seasoning soup, but you would in kimchi.

(Sure it won't come from the pure salt itself. Just additives / impurities)
It's often not that easy, and what if people don't want to change industries every time they lose their job?

If something like that became standard, it would be used as a tool to further divide our socioeconomic classes. Social pressures from friends, family, children, as well as economic pressures will force people into signing these non-compete contracts.

The issue is that, as a member of a overpopulated labor pool, a low-skilled worker has no bargaining power and so without bans on things like non-competes, corporations could walk all over their labor force. That is a social regression.
The original public phrasing was something like "We believe it's possible for a corporation to make money without being evil."

The original motto was meant as a snarky summary of a typical long list of positive corporate values. "Look, you can remember all these things, or just remember to pick the not-evil choice." More: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-07-16-n55.html
> I don't see any argument for it in a C-like language.

The inventor of the C-like languages B and NB (which then inspired C) agreed and used the more intuitive auto.

auto x = 1; /* x is implicitly an integer */
}

Now it's back in vogue in the C-like language C++. It doesn't mean "automatic storage", though.
It's not radioactive but it is a toxic metal and can be dangerous for the same reason that lead, mercury, etc are.
Your post resonated with me, and it might be the social construct of being part of a large organization that allows these things to happen without any single one individual feeling responsible or in the wrong.

> Creating a full-time workforce by cobbling together contractors is disgraceful.

Not paying people but still requiring them to do things (like show up to work or keep their schedule free) is disgraceful. Hiring part-time workers is not disgraceful.

If we want more full-time workers for stable employment, we need to a better job disentangling our social justice policy goals (retirement savings, health care, maternity leave, etc.) from full-time employment agreements (at least exclusively those agreements). If we want a dynamic labor market and employees with the ability to tell their bosses to stuff it, we need to stop leaning so hard on the employer/employee relationship.

It clearly isn't working.
When you go to lunch today, show the people making and serving your food the article and ask them if they'd like to be tied to a non-compete. Ask them if it would be easy to "just lateral into another low skill job in an unrelated industry."

It may be rather eye opening for you.

Originally, scouts exists, because founder thought that young UK boys are not raised to be ready enough to be soldiers.

More modern version of scouts have focus on boys doing proper boyish activities and girls doing proper girly activities. E.g. boy version is more about camping and tracking, girl version developed from traditionally female crafts. They are not equivalent in terms of child raising goals.
There are some articles about this research in the German press (https://heise.de/-3986730) and there's a German summary at https://www.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/zv/de/presse-medien/20...

Conclusions:

"In this study we found minimal letter sizes for the design of
mobile devices for different walking conditions. This
facilitates the adaption of e.g. smartphone apps to
requirements of standing, slow walking and fast walking
users. The letter sizes are given in visual angles, so the
resulting sizes can be adapted to any distance between the
user and his device."

I wonder - are there high-level mobile APIs that tell you the walking speed of the user? The mere speed of moving isn't as relevant as the actual step frequency.

On the other hand, the way votes were counted back in the days of the paper ballot were not something to be proud of either.

Anyone who's been involved in counting votes has seen more vote count fraud than they could possibly try to explain to others. Everybody used to be involved in that, from the people counting who didn't want to be there and would do anything just to get over with it, to the party delegates, to the people in charge of the sections.

I understand all the criticism and I praise your work in pushing for a more secure and auditable stack but it's hard to argue that the previous system was better in any way.

> Literally the only purpose of the notch is to provide space for the god-dammed technology in the phone.

No, it's not. It's either for differentiation or to be able to (like the Essential PH-1 before it) claim an “edge to edge” screen (even though in Apple's case this excludes a big part of the top edge), but it's not to make room for the “technology”, which obviously would fit just fine with a rectangular screen and a top bezel.
Public corporations really can't remain moral given the diffusion of responsibility effect. There are so many owners of every company, literally millions of them, that individuals never feel responsible for the evil actions of their property.

Chriky is confused because "percentile" has a specific meaning, and "below the 99th percentile" means everyone except the top 1%. The GP meant to say "lower than 99%", which is the 1st percentile.
Very biased and clumsy attempt to smear Turkey and its government. O.K. AK Party may not be the best in world history, O.K. President Erdogan may not be "the one" but they are in overall is O.K. Pretty damn good in fact... There are many shortcomings about both President Erdogan and AK Party but they at least try for their citizens. I am very well educated about the political history of Turkey and can confidently say that if the US archives will be opened for 1950s and 1960s we may be able to better understand these smear attempts. There are many suspectful grey areas that US might get involved.

Also apparently, Ms./Mrs.CARLOTTA GALL does not give any damn about reflecting realities. Rather she consciously prefers to be an instrument of perception management. It is a shame for her to give Adnan OKTAR as an example. She probably did not do her homework about him. Also, how the hell she just contacted the OKTAR cult with some freedom seeking activity? Is she mad? The guy even has a medical report for insanity, he did not get awarded as insane in near history, it goes to 1980s...

Moreover, the beloved Turkish left, the amount of intelligence operations Turkey leftist movements has been part of may be enough to eradicate the whole European governments, you can call it EU if you want, after WWII... It is partially also true for rightist but at least they are not trying to denigrate their own country...

I hope US public will try to know my country and our nation/nations, there are many-including Arabs, Kurds, Circassians, Armenians, Greek, Hebrew etc. better and get their blinders,CARLOTTA GALL kind of blinders-there are many of them out there, off. And I also hope that US government and state get their shit straight because it will be helpful both countries and their nations...

It's a nice historical overview of using search and ML for formal games like chess.

But - this is not the game developer usage of "game AI". Where are wargames, where are artificial characters, where is interactive storytelling, where are realtime control systems, and so on, and so forth? The doc is missing a lot of the actual history of game AI, which is much wider and more varied than presented here (and ML approaches are still in minority).

Anyone interested in game AI history should definitely check out the past proceedings of the AIIDE conference: http://www.aiide.org
You need to define “successful”. To me success goes like this: physically healthy, emotionally connected to your close family, a place to stay, enough money to eat and take care of you and your loved ones if you’re not single (spouse, children). That’s alteady a lot. Luck is a big part of that success so if you can check all these boxes, you’re doing very well. Oh... and the rest is 100% extra.
> I am curious as to where you are getting the idea that "unionization in Canada is still as strong as the strongest years in the US"

Based on the share of the workforce that is represented by unions. Canada is currently at ~30%, the US peaked at ~30% and is at less than 10% today.

> Unions have shrunk, membership are down, political clout is down, and a newly unionized company is a rare bird indeed.

Unionization is indeed down, but what I said is that it is still about as strong as the strongest years in the US. Canada had even stronger unions through the 80s, when it peaked at just shy of 40%. Interestingly, much of the same wage issues we face today were still present at that time. Wages have been stagnant since at least the 70s, according to the Canadian government (and American data echos this).
> Because right now it sometimes feels hard to even hold a conversation and not forgetting what other people told me ten seconds ago.

Oh my God! You just described me! I forget so many things that were told to me moments ago. It's getting harder by day because I have a job now, and it's getting tougher everyday. I have to keep in mind what the clients describe, and even if I'm jotting them down, I tend to forget what was said 5 seconds ago. For example, if I was told to do something in a sequence, I would totally mess it up. I can't perform a task in a sequence. Like for instance, if they ask me to perform a task in this particular order of A->B->C, I would do F->10->#.

I seem to have lost my resolute mannerism. I rage at everything. i rage quit, rage fight. I used to solve challenges that come to me logically, now I just approach in a violent way. Like, if someone is being a bully, kill him, if someone is doing a task ineffectively, shoot him. I have episodes of deep depression and in that time I get a lot of suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Sometimes I fear myself that, given a heated situation, if someone tells me I am wrong, old-me would have approached in a logical manner and solved it diplomatically, now I just fear myself that I would kill anybody who is confronting me. I feel like if I unleash my anger onto someone, I would go to pour all my bundled up anger of over 2 years on that person and maybe kill him; My anger is pressuring up day by day.

I feel like I have so many things to do to improve myself or come out of it, but I'm too tired, lazy and impatient. Just wanted to get these things off of my chest man. Maybe this is the first time I'm opening up to someone. I should see a shrink.

But then I remember the ads with sounds, or the mining ads, or ads that don't even have anything to do with the websites I visit nor the one I'm currently in... no thanks.

I feel you, though not born in Turkey (born in Germany to Turkish parents).

Where does "love for Turkey" come from? Patriotism / nationalism has been part of Turkish culture for a long time; the origin can be attribute to the state-supported mythology that recounts the succession of dozens of Turkish states over millenia, the Independence War and all that. It can also be attribute to the "collectivist" or nomadic origins of culture and language, the actual history as influenced by the fact that ethnic Turks moved to present day Turkey (to the extent culture and language can be traced; maybe that is not much).

There is no more Turkish republic anymore... but whatever you think of politics and whether a nation is something that can be loved, whether you are personally affected or not, I think seeing a democracy go crash and burn is disturbing.

Erdoğan has successfully built a climate of fear where expat Turkish folks are afraid to voice criticism because they have relatives in Turkey. (Sure, it is no different for, say, China today; but IMHO it was never as bad for so many people in Turkey. It was certainly just as bad for fewer people before).

A majority of votes can be organized for populist crude nationalist ideas. However, it is very sad that after the AKP claimed democratization and achieved stability, it swung back to create the same conditions that have created brain-drain before have been recreated.

And far worse, so that the whole development path for Turkey is blocked for decades to come.

There are bright and capable people who for these short-sighted reasons will never succeed; it isn't rational for a leader, even for one who only seeks to extract wealth from a country, to follow such a strategy. So it is just a waste. Which wonders will come out of it? Another authoritarian state.

The overall cake could have been bigger and everybody could have benefited. And the irony is - like with Trump - that the people who think they are in control because they voted AKP are going to be the ones who will suffer and lose most.

If you want "I don't care" to be your shield of protection, I can understand and respect that... but it is disheartening that there doesn't seem to be much that one can do as an individual.

And it is quite possible that if the majority of Turkish support this system, then there may not be a way to avoid it. However, since you live in Germany: the Nazi party also got in control by dismantling the democracy, and we won't be able to say "I don't care" the crimes against humanity they committed. There are disturbing parallels.
If you could set up this system with a series of internet connected scales for each category, you can take the weight of the bricks from different work areas around the company and know in real time what people are doing while simultaneously recording the information in physical lego form.
From a strictly technical perspective (that is, excluding otherwise important factors like hiring) Elm is one of the best solutions for web UI development. The language is small (compared to Haskell for example), it pretty much enforces a sane approach to state management and componentalization, frees you from a whole class of JavaScript bugs including runtime exceptions and is very fast. The fact that it's functional just makes it more attractive to developers that are already confortable with or committed to functional languages such as Elixir.
