In France I'd buy online at Carrefour and cdiscount. (I'd do that a lot, because businesses in France tend to close on Sundays.) Online marketplaces do exist and in addition to those two they have smaller, niche marketplaces for specific markets such as electronics, biking or outdoor sport equipment, etc.

People in France do not shop (online shopping included) as much as Americans. They have less access to credit and less credit card debt. We don't hear about the French Amazons because, in part, the market, which is a smaller market that spends less, doesn't support Amazon-sized things by itself. (The EU market is a bigger fish, and Carrefour in particular has spread across Europe and to Asia and Africa... it really is "Walmart for the rest of the world".)

Anyway, assuming you have never lived in France or any EU country for any length of time, you'll have to take me at my word that the locals don't wish they lived in a deregulated market where they, too, could work 5 part-time jobs for less than minimum wage.

(French wine and cheese are, in my personal opinion, not actually better than some wines and cheeses to be found in America. However, I greatly appreciated that their kooky laws on acceptability of other countries' wines and cheeses meant that I could get 100g of any of about 50 cheeses for $4, something impossible most supermarkets in the US -- Walmart if you're reading... cheap Brie please, thank you. As a consumer of cheese, I found French laws more pro-consumer. As a consumer of flat screen TVs, there is no beating America, although those of your states that still do sales tax need to get on with the program.)

Somewhat related. I'm a huge bookworm. I think there is a healthier, in the sense of promoting newer authors, leaving less decisions in the hands of gatekeepers, etc book industry on your/our side of the Atlantic. But I kind of miss the fixed price for paperbacks France has (used to have, I don't remember). I used to buy books all the time there, whereas here, I can't really afford that too much and just go to the library.
I was providing localised anecdata about the people I specifically work with.

I don't think its against site rules to state personal experiences, actually it's the basis of healthy debate.

If I said something along the lines of "all female engineers" without the context I provided; i.e its most of the female engineers I personally work with, then yeah I could see how that would be construed as virtue signalling. I assure you that's not my intention, and apologies if it comes across that way.

or that people would not need to have any "actual relief effort" because the savvy businessman will respond to price signals and bring in the needed goods by themselves.

> I try to push myself into the direction of NOT looking at the career ladder anymore

I had the opposite thought. I never used to look at the career ladder, when recently I realized that I might need to, in order to get a more satisfying/challenging job.

I entertained that thought for a bit, but then realized that I enjoy my personal life and projects more, and that it would probably make me enjoy my work less if I were career-focused. Plus, I like my current team and job enough as it is, so it wouldn't be worth it. Now I just try to be mindful of doing things that will advance my career (basically being a valuable employee), but not at the expense of my personal life.

Yea a list of pointers can be handy. However, if the code managing this list is receiving duplicate pointers this sounds like an other problem. If it's newly allocated memory it should probably be submitted to this list on creation. If we have some sort sub-allocater that sounds like a problem with sub-allotments. I think is probably more common ways to avoid the need for hashing, and not needing to do a linear search of your list.
It also depends on you (and others in similar roles) having a reasonably well-tuned sense of what is reasonable and what is not. I have a fairly broad charter myself but I help out all the time with things that I could argue are "not my job" as narrowly defined. However, they're mostly at least adjacent to my primary responsibilities and are mostly not a big deal to do.

Were someone to come to me with a request that looked to have the potential to be a big time sink--or if I was getting overloaded with too many one-offs--I would definitely have a discussion with my manager at that point.
You're confusing cause and effect. The effect of having cars everywhere is that we end up with cities where the downtown core is hyper dense and the extents are flat. What we want is the opposite. Six storey mid rises. And commutes via trains and mass transit are only nightmares when they're all trying to get to the same place and they're 3rd class citizens to cars and trucks.

A bit further even, 18th to late 19th century. The U.S. was stealing every kind of IP it could get from Europe, from patented inventions to reprinting publications ignoring copyright.

example source: https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-02-18/us-complains-other-na...

The history of Hollywood is also a fun read, it basically came into existence by filmmakers fleeing from Edison demanding people to buy licences for patented film cameras IIRC.

Regarding IP, the US developed exactly the same as China does now: First the country was underdeveloped and mostly agrarian. In this period it stole IP massively, bootstrapping its own intellectual niches in this way. After a while those niches build up significant output and want to protect their own IP from others. The country starts to create and enforce its own IP laws.

Unfortunately for London property has become a massive asset. If you look at who owns most of the houses you'll see that it is foreign buyers, the wealthy with multiple houses, and extreme landlordism. This is artificially raising the price, even though there are plenty of empty lots sitting around, forcing crowd out without actually creating any better property.

Socialized/affordable housing might help, but typically once the market is so distorted not many people can afford to live there and thus even if their rent is cheap they're going to leave. This property is then bought by the wealthy and traded for an asset, repeating the cycle.

To be frank, if I walk into a men's bathroom and there is a woman in there cleaning I am going to be pissed off and feel like my privacy and decency has been violated. So yes, as a quick example I feel very justified in saying that men's bathrooms should ONLY be cleaned by men. There are lots of examples like this but I am too busy to outline each one. Women should NOT be encouraged to think that they are equal to men, they are not and this only breeds conflict and disappointment. I do not have the faculties to be the world's top mathematician, anyone trying to encourage me to achieve this position is setting me up for massive amounts of disappointment and frustration, no one should try to prevent me attempting IF I should want to try, same thing with women, no women should ever be expected or encouraged to excel in the work place, women should be encouraged to be happy at home, there should just never be any laws preventing women from attempting anything they wish.
The only feature I wish Apple would implement, is Phone Call no longer takes full focus on my screen. We don't call as much any more, at least compare to 5 - 7 years ago.

But for what exactly (despite ... porn)?

Like I said I get the use-case for games and I also think there is potential for AR - but pure VR for the web? If it were that important to have 3D to represent information on the web, we would have a lot more 3D websites (without VR) already - which is technically possible for a long time.

The war between technology and democracy
I have traveled this way since 1983, and I can remember showing up in Indonesia with my two kids, who were less than 10 at the time, without a room at 11 PM and walking around throughout the night until we found a great place to stay. I had just bought them their backpacks that year. Years on I lived with my newborn baby, my third child, in a rice-farming village in East Java for a year, and after a few months, I felt I was back in Brooklyn by identifying with the similarities of the situation and personalities of my neighbors. Travel changes your perspective both in immediate, new ways, and in long, introspective stretches. I recommend it if there is an itch you feel you need to scratch. I have never regretted any of it. I had already traveled a lot of SE Asia when I saw The Beach, and I liked it, especially the contrast between the new arrival and the has-beens of backpacking. The Jungle (2017) is another film worth watching based upon the true story of Yossi Ghinsberg and his ordeal in the Amazon rainforest in Bolivia back in the 1980s.

(Not that I believe that Chinese companies were not lax with US IP, but that you try to instill the idea that China cannot invent and that the US does not mess international trade, which is not quite true.)

I can't speak for the UK but in Belgium it's certainly illegal to discriminate based on gender, age, race, ....

There was even a case recently where a man won a lawsuit because he was excluded by a clothing store that was searching for a female employee for doing an inventory job.

"Brussels, 23 August 2018 - The legal action taken by the Institute for Equality of Women and Men reminds employers that sex is not a criterion for refusing an application. The Leuven Labor Court has sentenced a clothing store to discrimination based on sex. He refused a man's candidacy because he wanted to hire a woman."

It’s not a good idea to generalise and push gender stereotypes in this way. You’re saying that female engineers have better communication skills than male ones, setting the bar higher for female engineers.

You might think you’re improving gender equality with statements like this but really you’re setting a different bar of basic competencies for males vs females.

Say it with me: Correlation does not imply causation!

Correlation does not imply causation!

Correlation does not imply causation!

Correlation does not imply causation!

(And schools in the U.S. are funded largely by local property taxes. Therefore, the arrow of causation might very well go the opposite direction here: the places where homes are sold at higher prices are assessed at correspondingly higher taxes, and therefore those school districts get more money, and thus perhaps -- perhaps! Correlation does not imply causation! -- those more heavily funded schools are regarded as "better".)
Why surrogacy in Kenya?
"While I see both sides of the argument, as long as the advertiser pays per view, it seems wrong to require the listing to target demographics that are almost certainly uninterested."

1) Is making a little economy really more important than giving equal opportunity ?
2) What makes you think you, or the person that designed the ad, knows best what might women (or any other group that might be discriminated against with similar practices) are interested in?

And that, especially when advertising for a job! Women may not be particularly "excited" by the message that conveys the ad, but they might be looking for a job all the same.

All your points sound the same to me, it comes down to : "women like cooking, teamwork and are not interested in being trucker, policemen or technologists, and men like sports and being stong and don't want to be a hairdresser or a nurse" now let's apply these hard facts to cut the costs when advertising for jobs. That way we make sure our stereotypes stay true, and it doesn't matter if it's unfair, it's just how are things.
And I don't think I can change your strongly stereotypical view of gender in this comment alone, but I'm telling you : that can change, and women want that to change, because they want equal pay, and equal pay also means equal opportunity to high paying jobs.

Employment opportunity is not the ideal topic to split hair, let's just not target ads at one gender.

Fine tuning a message to an audience segment is something every marketer should do. When I first read the headline, this was the use case that seemed obvious.

Different audience segments may want different things from a job. For example, an increasing number of workplaces are offering paid paternity leave. Maybe that's something you want to specifically mention to men.

I have already commented above about my experiences backpacking with children, however, I have never had the "drunk/high perverts" situation, since I was going to remote or less-traveled areas. Sure if you show up anywhere like Bali, Indonesia in the summer, you are going to be swimming in drunk Aussies doing the same as the American Spring Break crowds in Florida, however, try making it to villages where you can find a camp site, or lodging and perhaps help out the locals with a small donation of your knowledge, time (work) or money.

If you're on UEFI, the 16bit environment is very likely running inside a UEFI "hypervisor" (ie, it puts the CPU into 16bit mode after setting up the appropriate interrupt handlers and hardware drivers). If you boot Windows or Linux via UEFI and not BIOS methods, then you never leave 64bit mode during boot.

Real BIOS that boots from 16bit is quite a rarity these days.

But is the price really disconnected from rents on comparable properties?

The way I think about it, is that if buying a house can yield you 2-3% - either through expected house price growth or through rental income or both - someone will be buying it at that price, because it makes economic sense in a low interest rate environment (i.e. you won't find any other assets with similar risk that will give you a higher yield). Who ends up being the buyer is not particularly relevant - as long as the yield is there, somebody will be buying at that price.

The question then is,

1. Are rents too high? Unlikely, rents are very much supply/demand driven.
2. Are yields too low than what is justified? Possibly. Rental yields in central London seem to be around 3.5%, which seems quite low if you take into account the costs and the risks.
3. Are investors pricing in too much price growth? Possibly - related to point 2 above.

But it doesn't seem like current buyers are paying completely irrational prices for the houses. So it does not seem like we are in a bubble. Of course, if interest rates go up, we will see housing drop, and as expectations of future price growth are reduced because of that, we should see a bigger decrease in house prices than is warranted by interest rate increase alone. Add to that the potential of some people not being able to pay their mortgage at higher interest and being forced to sell, and the prices should dip even more than "intrinsic value". If this effect propagates to the wider economy, people might lose their jobs, forcing more people to sell, resulting in a full-blown liquidity event where it becomes a buyers' market for a short while.

Now, whether interest rates will go up significantly and whether once there are signs of such a liquidity event they will stay high is anyone's guess.
I think law like this is broken because it's like many (American) laws where it ends up selectively enforced

Laws like these are not criminal laws, and are not meant to be enforced if by that you mean policed. It's up to someone to file a lawsuit, if they think the law is on their side. Then a judge will have to rule whether or not the law applies in that particular case, and in doing so they may set a precedent which will influence how later cases will be judged.

And following that further along, in this way, I can see a pretty straightforward method of declaring any job advertising as discriminatory under that decision

You may think so, but this is why we have judges. Just because you can make and argument, it doesn't mean that argument will be persuasive to a judge. You may further think that this means that the outcome of a trial is arbitrary, and you would be right in the sense that law is not an exact science, and the result of a verdict can be difficult to predict if the evidence is weak and/or there is no precedent. But you would also be wrong in the sense that each verdict rendered helps to set precedent, and judges (and lawyers) always look to see what precedent has been set, both when it comes to how to interpret the law, but also when it comes to establishing what counts and doesn't count as evidence.
