I think sametmax wrote a great reply already. I'll just address your logical fallacies.

Generalisation fallacy 1: "some harmful things are not banned; asbestos is a harmful thing; asbestos should not be banned".

Thankfully most governments are more nuanced with their regulations. In the case of asbestos, since comparable materials exist with less potential for harm, they are favoured and/or the more harmful stuff is banned. Where not possible there can be exemptions, e.g. see my European Commission link earlier, along with the "ban" it says:

> One remaining use of chrysotile has not been banned, however - in diaphragms which are used for electrolysis in certain chlorine plants. This exception is justified because no safe alternative has been developed and this process is carried out on closed sites under strictly controlled conditions.

Generalisation fallacy 2: "asbestos can be dangerous; if handled safely asbestos is not dangerous; asbestos is not a large risk".

Because it can be used safely does not make it generally safe.
> but as a developer whose livelihood is tied to their decisions, I'm tired of being jerked around.

Let me get this straight. A for-profit company providing a marketplace that has allowed you to sustain a livelihood as a developer is now be considered as "jerking you around". This is truly fascinating.

>Offering the chance to shill for part of your shift, and offering this only to an elite who're able to do it effectively, is a really clever social exploit. Will it continue to be allowed? Maybe. It's very much the kind of thing that's bending 'the rules' for their benefit, and to do it properly you kind of have to be Amazon.

That strategy or similar has been going on for a long time, Amazon isn't doing something unseen before and they are probably just copying it from what they've seen. I've seen a local utility run an ad featuring claimed employees talking about their employer/company in a positive on television.

I've also seen similar ads from an oil industry company, and others.
If you are a registered company (like any publicly listed company in the USA) you need to release important information to as many people as possible in a timely manner. Newswire makes sense since it goes out to 1000s of newspapers and websites. It also makes sense to queue it up before release. Otherwise, that would give people listening to your earnings conference call or checking the EDGAR filings an unfair advantage over more accessible resources.

> Even minimum wage is a barrier for some. Marginalized groups (e.g. chronic drug users) can find it difficult to find an employer who values their labor at the minimum wage. The stepping stone of working below minimum wage is made illegal for them

I find this line of reasoning flawed, if you relaxed the constraints around minimum wage, the "stepping stone" would become the new minimum
SCOTUS has already ruled that the death penalty is not cruel and unusual punishment - more specifically, that since it is not unusual, it is not a Constitutional violation despite where you feel it falls on the cruelty spectrum. A common pleas or even circuit court judge can't simply say "lol whatever I'm going to ignore that." Only SCOTUS can reverse its position on the Constitutionality of the death penalty.
Worked for an "innovation" consultancy that had one of the largest food companies in the world as a client and it asked that we build an animated interactive iPad app for doctors in the third world to be able to push their baby formula.

After randomly googling turns out thousands of African babies had previously died in the 70's/80's after formula was pushed instead of breast milk as mother's mixed polluted water with formula when their body would have protected the baby with breast-feeding.

UN passes laws preventing marketing in certain ways (ie. saying formula is better than breastmilk) so I decide to read the laws. Turns out big company's content they're sending us to include in the app (that only appears when clicked on in a certain way by a doctor) definitely contravenes those UN laws.

I speak to the boss (whose mother was from Africa) who says "every company is evil so what can you do" after I say that it's not just morally bad but also the negative PR to our own company could be catastrophic.

It was at that point I decided to make myself unavailable for further work.
On the other hand, I'm not sure Asterisk has a future.

Most countries in western europe have a concept of day-fines. It's averaged income minus essential expenses multiplied by some amount of time.

Fictional example: speeding 20km/h above the limit gets 30 day-fines. So they'll calculate how much you'd earn in 30 days, subtract essentials and that's your fine.
The funding for UBI would require more funding than the current federal tax revenue. One of the things that would be necessary to make it work is redistribution of wealth. Taking taxes large corporates who are increasingly making more money through automation and the removal of jobs, so that it can be used to fund a better lifestyle for the majority of people.

Sadly I don't see a political environment where that's actually viable any time soon, but at some point we're going to have to see a move in that direction because there will be an ever decreasing pool of jobs that require actual people.

> "Guanxi" is nothing other than socially institutionalised networks of non-monetary favours and counter-favours.

People like to focus on the favors part but Guanxi isn't really about exchanging favors and in fact you mostly never see any kind of explicit quid pro quo. Westerners tend to be "transactionally oriented" and never quite grasp that transactions are always a means to a greater end. In fact if you are seen to be "banking" favors people will quickly lose all confidence in you. There's two very simple ideas here: (1) if you want to succeed in your own endeavors you must make yourself useful and help others succeed in their endeavors and (2) non-monetary ("personal") obligations are much, much more important than monetary ("public") obligations. The "favors" aspect is kinda beside the point. Someone with really good guanxi will actually find others eager to help without even needing to ask!

> It is again a workaround because <authors> is a member of a collection - it is not a tuple attribute.

Its an element not an attribute, but the set of elements and the set of attributes are both collections.

> Which suggests that we cannot enforce this separation and an application has to understand itself which element is an object property and which element is a member of a collection

It's true that that is not part of bare XML and the nature of attributes vs. elements, even though you want to impose it there.

OTOH to the extent that those words correspond to a well-rounded semantic distinction, it is arguably captured in schema languages, and not mere application-level knowledge.

If you want feedback from people, it might be worth spending a couple of hours to:

1) Improve the store listing text, to include more detail about who this is for, and what it does

2) Create more informative screenshots. The second screenshot totally confused me. I have no idea what the title 'Drawer closed' means, or what I'm meant to do on that page (maybe click the button, but then what is the page number stuff below for?).

From the left-nav, it looks like your app has lots of features. Maybe pick 1 or 2 of the most important user journeys, and try to give people enough information and screenshots to make them confident about those.

For example, I might use an app that can generate PDF invoices for me, without needing to open Word or Google Docs. But I don't know whether your app could help me, because I don't see the format you use, or show detail about whether I can add my logo, customise the header and body fonts, automatically calculate VAT or whatever.

I haven't looked, but I'm sure there are other apps that are in your space. Maybe you can find inspiration from their listings.

We presume that our corner of the universe is a good sampling of the rest, and extrapolate based on what we know here.

We currently know of at least 8 or 9 planets in our system + at least 185 moons (new ones were discovered around Jupiter last month.)

So, finding life on 2 out of 194~ places will take us from "There is only 1 planet in the entire universe with life!" to "how common life is"?

> The key point is that extrapolation from a single data point is wildly innacurate.

But extrapolating from 2 points out of (100 billion x 200 billion) is not?

Why wouldn't people continue to use the same arguments they do now to say Earth is the only planet with life, to say there are only 2 planets in the universe with life?

> He was being paid worker's comp during this time. This certainly made a good impression on me.

Just to be clear here: this is required by law, not something that the company is doing out of the goodness of its heart. It's also a fraction of what one's normal wages would be, which I would say is a more likely explanation for the injured person's eagerness to return than that "he missed his coworkers".

> they wanted to make sure he was completely healed and made it clear that he shouldn't rush things

I won't fault them for this, as I don't have details like what/how serious the injury was. But often a better alternative to no work at all is to temporarily reassign the person to another role where their injury is not an issue (desk job of some kind, generally). This way the employee continues to get full or near-full wages.

EDIT: Also, forgot to point out that work restrictions are defined by a doctor who treated the injured person, not by the employer. They can get in serious trouble for forcing someone to work in excess of those restrictions. So again, not really a sign of benevolence.
What seems a bit out of place is framing occupational licensing (meant to increase consumer safety) and codes enforcement (meant to increase public safety) as some kind of war on the poor. The fact that some things cost money is not in and of itself a negative or evil thing.

I had a couple of experiences like that when I worked at one company.

The first was while writing an application that would automate away internal and vendor provided positions. I never did get over the feeling that the work was destroying lives, but read on for why it didn’t matter.

A few years later, we were purchased by a much larger competitor who promptly laid off everyone except the IT department. One of their acts was to decommission the application and outsource the work to manual labor.

While working for the larger company, a behemoth in the industry, and having watched several companies purchased and dismantled, and working on projects that ingested the remnants of those companies, I had the realization that in fact, storm troopers DO have benefits. They are paid, they get vacation, health insurance, and maybe even retirement benefits And it explains why the hallways on the Death Star were so full of people.

I stayed long enough to learn the lesson above and then left to engage in entrepreneurial ventures since, ultimately, no matter how well you do your job, or because of how well you do your job, someone can come in and buy your company and leave you floating in space like so much debris.

Yep. It seems to be a US thing, incidentally. I worked at Amazon in Edinburgh for eight years, and it was pretty nice. Not perfect, certainly, but there was definitely a lot more respect for work-life balance, and a lot less pressure to perform or be fired.
