>all of the worst atrocities in the history of the world grow out of a seed of convincing people that there are other people out there who are (for whatever reason) less than them and should be defeated. If those people are less than us, then the normal rules of decency surely don't apply and we should do all we can to win.

To piggyback onto this, I think it's important to clarify that this can happen to anyone's political side, and when it does, it is tempting to turn a blind eye to it. For extremists on the right, it's blatant when they hate or hold prejudices against minorities, religions, etc. But if you're on the left, it's easier to rationalize and ignore prejudices or hatred from left extremists against "all white people" or "all men", etc, because, well, that attitude may just be a means to the end that you support. The only difference between the two, though, is one is easier for you to rationalize.

That commonality of demonizing an individual person based on physical traits or "otherness" knows no ideology and emerges whenever individuals are willing to sacrifice their own personal decency to achieve tribal goals. If we don't squash that specific kind of behavior whenever and wherever we see it, we'll be repeating it forever. It's not enough to crush one manifestation of tribalism if it means creating a new and just-as-potent version of it.

I'm afraid I don't agree. I'm more worrying about my job than the companies about anything.

If lose it, I will spend months for finding a new one.

I will send emails with no response.

I will be offered to spend enormous time for multilevel recruitment process, just to be rejected at the end.

I will spend hours making shitty take-home tasks, just to be rejected. Some companies even don't check them when I upload it on a server.

I will be asked terribly complicated white-board questions about forgotten algorithms used in no place. All that just to be offered a job about coding ETLs or adding some Javascript to a website.

All just to get a simple job. It doesn't look like companies are afraid. It rather looks like companies have endless stream of candidates and want to crawl them first, so they could not hire them later.

My last job hunt: 55 resumes sent (I was a perfect fit for 15 positions, not 100% for the rest). 10 companies responded. 5 were interested only about the salary, 4 of them didn't respond, 1 responded with "you wanted too much, we are not negotiating salaries". 2 terribly complicated take-home things (one company didn't event check it before rejecting me). Just 1 job offer, I took it, as I didn't get any other option after 3 months of searching.

It was 2 years ago. I'm looking for a job again... I've sent 20 resumes. Got no answer.

All 55 companies were posting the same job ads for the next months. About 5 of them are doing all the time, and the web is full of opinions how great the companies are.

So generally I feel like I'm rather useless than needed for the companies.

Writing anonymously here is cool :)
I didn't do it, so I don't know exactly. Possible that "illegals" aren't really a group in the sense that matters? You can choose whether or not to be an illegal; discrimination against innate traits is what really has historically been a problem. It is also valid to infer certain limited things from having the "illegal" status, such as that basically by definition these are people who don't have much regard for the law. (It isn't irrational or invalid to point out that there is a selection process, which I mean in the more-or-less Darwinian sense, that makes it so that illegal immigrants are very likely to have disproportionate numbers of people who are going to break your other laws.) It is, again, not the same as making statements based on immutable characteristics.

I'd go so far as to suggest that those who deliberately try to conflate the matter of judging people based on their immutable vs. chosen characteristics are themselves contributing to the problem. If you force people who have problems with the legality of certain immigration procedures to also get themselves declared "racist" or whathaveyou, you shouldn't be surprised when people decide to accept the label instead. "Racism" and other similar labels has lost its sting in large part because it got horribly, horribly overused in places where it was not applicable, and now, surprise surprise, we find ourselves living in a culture where people care less about that label. It was not a good choice to try to spend the political capital the labels had that way.
Is it actually your experience of these things or is it just what you've been told? As somebody who lives in a big US city which my Midwestern small-town relatives sees as "scary", I use public transit daily and the library weekly. There aren't really any druggies or panhandlers on the buses or trains or libraries. There are some on the actual streets, and that's unfortunate, but not nearly the degree that all the "urban blight" movies from the 1970s and 1980s suggested.
We ALL have a financial stake in the outcome. Furthermore, there are things far more valuable and costly at stake. Like Liberty. Freedom. Justice. You know, those things?

Reducing the equation of politics down to mere financial stakeholders is how you get to the position the United States is in in the first place.

I get that we all like to laugh about those quaint ideals, but it truly SHOULD be the first thing on a politicians mind.

Also, EVERY Congressman has the option of retaining researchers who have the job of becoming experts on every topic imaginable. Never mind access to one of the most extensive libraries known to man. Expertise is easier to come by than you seem to think.

A Congressman being spoonfed information by lobbyists without having his/her own staff doing some digging and USING their powers to subpoena is a Congressman in sore need of replacing.

Nevermind that we don't bother enforcing statutes that make it a felony to lie before Congress.
I don't grant much of what you say above, but let's leave it aside. From the article:

"Kavanaugh went further, saying that even if the Section 215 metadata program was a search, it should be considered 'reasonable' in the name of national security."

To me that's all you really know about this nominee. 4th amendment issues are entirely bound up in precedent (though judges have, contrary to your opinion, some latitude.) But the decision about what is and isn't justified by "national security" is entirely a judgement call by an individual. Kavanaugh's judgement is that the most invasive peacetime spying program in the history of the United States is just fine. That's terrifying.
Thanks :) Let's see how far I (they) get!

Not sure how your stock market example reflects what you are saying. Stock market actions are merely the aggregate of its individual participants and all participants are "voting". This is particularly true in China where small investors actually make up a larger share of stock market activities.

You could say the same about heroin. Or even alcohol, really. Taking immediate pleasure at the price of pain later is a failure mode of human brain; we all fall for it, to smaller or greater extent.
It's cool, but it's not what you'd normally understand "Linux" to be. It implements the Linux kernel syscalls, so it supports most of glibc and some of the GNU userland, but misses a lot of the stuff that makes Linux, well, Linux. You can't use iptables. No namespaces AKA containers. When you get to userland, your session is just a bash login shell. There's no DBus, no systemd, no X11, no clipboard. You have to do some fairly ugly hacking to share an ssh-agent between two consoles. And so on and on and on. It's cool for some things, but not good enough for some other things, and I don't see it growing support for those in the future either.

Seen the backlash I’m getting with the comment, would like to clarify that what sparked it was this sentence:

Where the author seems to hint to consider all that follows himself.

Very powerful message. I would really want to know what Aronson thinks about the situation in Israel with the Palestinians. Of course not to compare the fate of the Jewish people during the savage years of the Holocaust with this of the Palestinians. But Israel seems to have forgotten the humanity of the Palestinians, striping them from their human rights, or passing laws that could affect the rights of Israeli minorities [0].

Obviously condemning the actions of terrorists, atrocities committed against the people of Israel by Palestinians, and that deserving it’s own discussion, just pointing out that because the number of dead Palestinian people is relevant enough and the author who fought for and lives in Israel, was speaking of when countries do dehumanize people and was hoping that in this case there would be voices in Israel that could disagree with the current situation.

But... the savings won't be that much. I mean, for normal people it would be, but imagine you have a bonus tied to a % of cost savings. Do you propose something which might bring about a 20% cost savings? Or a 75% savings? Of course, I just pulled those numbers out of thin air, but the cost of, say, mid-level developers in SF isn't going to drop significantly, moving to a reasonably-high-tech hub. The base salary cost may go down < 20%, but any other attendant benefits (insurance, retirement, etc) don't go away, just might be shifted a few % - or might even go up(?)

> Remote means you aren't interested in advancing inside the organization

Do they really want the work done, or do they want to actively encourage inter-office politicking? Not everyone wants to advance, and even in places I've worked where I've wanted to advance, it was made pretty clear that nothing was going to be happening on my time schedule (too many other people who'd "paid their dues" ahead of me already). So... wow - I was interested in 'advancing' but they weren't interested in me advancing. Would have been easier if we'd just... focused on the work, no?
It will probably look and feel a lot like how Github has effectively centralized git repos. At least in this world if we don’t like how somebody is centralizing something it can be easily and quickly moved.

That's really expensive.

Around here the standard seems to be €2.50, and I recently found a library in my neighborhood that only takes €1.50.

I haven't used ILL too much in the past, but I recently decided that lending before buying only those books that are worth it will save me a lot of money.
I think a lot about this.

In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari talk about the opposition between the state apparatus and the "war machine" (their term for a nomadic/decentralized structure). They talk about how it seems like nomadic societies are primitive, but actually a lot of nomadic societies have "collective mechanisms of inhibition" to ward off the formation of a state apparatus, by preventing power from accumulating within any one party and "evening it out" among everyone.

The applicability of D&G's ideas on the war machine to our current problem of platform power is immediately apparent. A centralized platform is exactly like a state apparatus. In our situation the collective mechanisms of inhibition might be something like stronger/more proactive antitrust laws to break up/nationalize entities that become infrastructural components of the society.

But as you've mentioned, I think this problem of "uneven development" is a feature of any marketplace-like structure. In sufficiently large numbers, a power law tends to assert itself with no other checks on power. This is why blockchains by themselves won't solve the problem. The debate, then, shifts to be about whether this is a feature or a bug, which is something that I'm never sure about.

To close, another quote from ATP comes to mind ("smooth space" is another term they use for nomadic spaces):

> Smooth spaces are not in themselves liberatory. But the struggle is changed or displaced in them, and life reconstitutes its stakes, confronts new obstacles, invents new paces, switches adversaries. Never believe that a smooth space will suffice to save us.

I despaired over which bluetooth earbuds to buy. I don't like either the Jaybird or Beats form factor. And especially not the Airpod/Earpod style.

I greatly prefer the Shure line (style) of earbuds. The shape works great for my ears. But I had grown weary of the tethered cable. (And the jack is going away.)

It took me way too long to figure out the MMCX connector allows me to mix & match. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMCX_connector

There's a few different styles and mfg of bluetooth audio cables. And of course a zillion earbuds.

Here's the low-end Shure SE215 http://a.co/d/39g7Mbr

Here's one of the cheapo ($20) cables I bought Luxray http://a.co/d/8ux9eg7

The Luxray is meh, okay. Fantastic for $20. But I'd like something more modern, full featured.

A generic MMCX & bluetooth & codec base cable would be a great kickstarter project. I'd happily pay $200 for something that was robust, (firmware) upgradeable.

I envision the same base electronics available in different form factors, eg Jaybird-style necklace, Bose-style neck horseshoe, lanyard-style dangly thing.

When comparing bluetooth cables, be mindful of the codecs supported. The cheapos I bought support AAC, allegedly best (preferred) for my Apple gear. I've read that aptX (and later) is best for Android.

> the worst atrocities in the history of the world grow out of a seed of convincing people that there are other people out there who are (for whatever reason) less than them and should be defeated.

Not really. It's more convincing people that there are other people who are an existential threat to you and your society. While heated rhetoric about immigrants is certainly bad, real atrocities start when you spread the message that "it's us or them", if we'd let them have their way they'd kill us all. And this is something I've heard in the West a lot recently, especially coming from Israel and its supporters when referring to Palestinians.
SSRF should be well known to anyone familiar with web app vulnerabilities, and PostScript is a programming language that's been around since 1982. Not exactly arcane terms. And noxCTF can reasonably be assumed to be a security CTF competition, even if you aren't familiar with the specific CTF.
Even if you paid the same, you'd have many more engineers willing to enter or stay in situations where they can afford to raise families at middle-class standards, not crowd into decrepit roommate situations.
I think the OP's point wasn't "cost savings" but "getting developers" by giving them what they want.
To conclude that requires a very selective reading of the article, as he explicitly talks about his own country.

Won't it?

There's a whole bunch of smart people right now who won't go into tech because they can make more elsewhere.

Another example is senior engineers who retire because their investment portfolio is large enough, and they don't feel like working hard for another year just to make another $150k. If it was $400k, they might stay. These are the engineers who are the most scarce and at the greatest demand right now.

Another example is turnover. Engineers currently have to job hop every couple of years to get a decent raise. That leads to more waste of engineer time and effort than any single management improvement that can possibly be implemented.

These are just 3 examples off the top of my head.

In every other field, it is obvious that more pay == more and better candidates. Yet somehow engineers are the single exception?

Against any sensible market theory?

I don't know what their "real" gdp growth was, but the larger point is that GDP growth occurred because of an even larger increase in debt. That debt likely went to wasteful/non-productive projects. That isn't healthy or sustainable.
If there weren't bodies to fill spaces left by us who want those things they'd change. Fact is there are still plenty of people who live near family in cities or have other reasons to stay that are barely within their cost of living/budget.
Something I find interesting about WW1 was that it was preceded by a long period of general peace. During that period, we had been in the steep part of the industrial revolution's S-curve. Modern nation states had been solidifying their centralized power. The world was globalized and war was unthinkable.

Once war broke out, the participating governments seemed shocked at their new found power to wage total war, through their industrial economies, their rapidly expanding populations, and their amplified political power.

If such an unthinkable war were to break out today, our knowledge of our destructive capability is 70 years out of date. Who knows what atrocities we might accomplish.

> The harder and more expensive it is to hire a specialist, the more important it is that the company utilize him fully. High salaries and long hours usually go together.

Until the specialist quits, and then your logic breaks completely.

Arguably, you're making him quit, since if you ever worked as a developer, you'd know there's only so many hours you can put in. Beyond that, you are burning out and generating more mistakes than valuable code.

My anecdotal observation is that both pay and work-life balance has been improving at FAANGs. I remember reading 10 years ago about how developers feel pressured to overwork in companies like Google. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore with my friends working for FAANGs.

Unless we're talking about executive-level pay (i.e. high seven figures), paying someone a few more thousands per year doesn't justify a destructive work-life balance. In fact, it's a self-defeating strategy that hasn't worked and seems to be largely abandoned by most savvy employers.
