Not if they are competing for employees; but, yes, if the labor market for particular forms of labor is a monopsony, you are stuck with the inverse of monopsony rents.

Of course, if that's a significant general problem rather than a narrow edge case, the entire idea of market economics is a sad joke.
The Land Reutilization Authority in St. Louis holds about 12,000 unwanted properties:

https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/lra-owns-the-st-lo...

The LRA usually ends up with these properties when they fail to receive any bids at the regular tax auctions. Fewer are falling into their hands, recently, because the hot housing market is driving folks to look at things they previously wouldn't have, but properties still routinely go unwanted:

St. Louis is the market I'm most familiar with, but similar land banks exist in cities all across the country.
I have no doubt that Porsche can make an excellent car, I think the main question is will they live within the box of limitations that old-line automakers seem to tie themselves into when designing electric vehicles. The main area being self constraining thinking that shows up via limitations in battery costs and logistics. That's not car engineering that limits them, its supply chain inflexibility to really expand or secure a supply to the extent that Tesla has done for itself. As a result, makers like BMW builds these odd little toasters instead of anything like a Tesla or a regular car.

Gee, a company who's business is data is obsessed with engineering and data? Color me shocked.

Snark aside, technology is hard. If you've worked in consulting for any amount of time you've probably realized that outside of a few pockets (SF, NYC, Austin, etc) most of the world is really, really bad at technology. Many of the biggest, most important institutions in the world really have no idea what they're doing. The biggest problem in my mind is that technical know-how is not distributed evenly. I don't know why that is, but I don't think diversity has very much to do with it.

Only if your strings are null terminated; many languages do not use null termination for various reasons, and that's one of them. "Pascal strings" being the nickname, given how old this idea is, and given it was a direct competitor to C at the time.
Right. But some languages prefix the string data with its length and omit the null terminator. So, depending on if the struct is passed in registers, you could say .length is free, in that it wouldn't even need a load.

The "funny" part is, while reading this, I kept thinking of a similar tool I built myself as a wrapper around python+beautifulsoup. Definitely parts of what the OP needed were compelling to me (I found regular subpatterns in my scraping work that could be encapsulated really well in certain bits of syntactic sugar, but concluded that a minimal json-like structure for defining a scrape was both sufficient and let me have a graphical "scrape builder" in a UX far more readily than if I actually wrote the scrape as code.

There's the usual amount of HN cynicism in the thread which I'm not sure is 200% off mark, but I think there are some good concepts in "Scraping primitives" that can be contemplated that the OP took an interesting angle on. (or rather; not the angle I took, so interesting to me.)
> If a new regulation insisted that on entering a hotel room, a member of the hotel staff had to use a blacklight and you needed to explicitly approve every illuminated mark larger than a quarter, then you would be annoyed at that regulation.

This analogy doesn't work because a) the vast majority of illuminated marks aren't harmful, b) the ones that are harmful aren't revealed by a blacklight, and c) you can take a shower after you leave to deal with the gross ones.

If, however, the light revealed signs of bed bugs we would be in the right ballpark.

Because:

a) everybody should want to minimize how much they deal with bedbugs

b) if you regularly sleep in places that have bedbugs you risk bringing bedbugs along with you to the other places you go

c) because of education and time constraints, people typically do not manually inspect each and every place in a hotel room that bed bugs could be. So if hotel staff could force the user to click a dialog that says, "This hotel room uses bedbugs for the following purposes..." that would be extremely useful for public health and sanity.
It would be interesting if you could find one. This is certainly the simplest I've ever seen.
Not so sure about that. Many businesses are upset at the import tariffs complaining it will affect them. We also have many labor unions cautiously optimistic about support ftom the current admin.

I'm going to guess you're a technical user :) my parents would never think to search for standardized or GDPR-specific email addresses. What they did was find some generic way to contact the company (phone number, possibly Facebook or email) and ask them "where should I send a request for you to delete my data?"

Regarding the content, they would find some template they can mostly understand, then change/add a paragraph to include whatever specifics they need.

As for verification of identify, they would not even think much about it. They would sign with their name, and of course send from their email. The company would have to reply back to ask for whatever they need to verify it properly.

Broadly, Ms. Powell suggests that many of Silicon Valley’s problems can be laid at the feet of an engineering-and-data-obsessed monoculture that invites little input from people outside the bubble.

Zoning has a lot to do with this: https://www.livablecity.org/rethinking-rh. Zoning lets cities dramatically restrict the supply of housing, thus favoring incumbent owners; by now, the only people who will move to SF / SV are those who want to start a startup (or "play the startup lottery" if you prefer a different set of emotional valences). The city almost can't help become a monoculture, because everyone else has been priced out.

When isn't it? Parent was suggesting the US is underfunding the USPTO. The undisputed claim is that they got all the money they requested. If they need more money, then they should request more. My line of reasoning can be falsified by showing the USPTO didn't get all the money they requested, or that through some bureaucratic machinations submitted an insufficient budget under duress.

Which is fine by me. We've been automating jobs out of existence since the industrial revolution, and should continue to do so. There are very few people doing a job now that was a job in 1750, but there's still plenty for people to do. That's because we keep turning boring, lower-value work over to machines and finding more interesting, higher-value work for people to do.

This does produce temporary dislocation. Once all the elevators were automated, elevator operators were all out of a job. [1] But I don't think that's an argument against automation. I think it's an argument for a strong safety net and generous retraining programs.

Who is likely Amazon's largest competitor ? Is it Walmart who only agreed to raise minimum hourly for workers to $11 per hour previously ?
The world is a giant poker game and everything Bezos does is carefully calculated. If he and his staff believe Amazon is or can be a more efficient workplace and can pressure his rivals (or Gov't intervention forces $15 per hour minimum) to equal his $15 an hour - - - - he can likely weaken their businesses who are not ready or perhaps cannot compete at $15 per hr. minimum.
Exactly this, and it's probably Amazon's real motive.

They did the exact same thing with sales taxes for online purchases: When they were up-and-coming they fought it. Once they had warehouses in the states where most of their business comes from, they supported legislation to force online sales tax since they had to do it already anyway.

Like others said though, at least this move will benefit workers.

Right, it certainly sounded from the outside that a lot of the Longhorn performance issues were various sorts of sandbagging by one side or the other. There's an interesting leadership question there too if some of the worst sandbagging was intentional or just ADHD-style distractions due to a lack of a singular, focused vision for the product. (The biggest example being letting so much of the WinFS team get sucked into the never-ending "semantic web" rabbit hole of trying to "schematize the world"; it's hard to focus on performance when you are busy trying to catalog all the different ways that people store data.)
The latter. Certainly, Sanders isn't powerless, he's the most popular politician in the US. However, he's only one of one hundred senators, almost all of whom are beholden to or influenced by—to varying degrees and on varying issues—the members of "the billionaire class", as he would put it. Bezos's net worth is currently over $160 billion. Q.E.D.

In a world where wealth distribution was flatter, and the richest person alive had access to like $100 million (a lot of money!), that would be one thing. The distribution is not so flat in our world, to put it mildly. Not to be pat, but money is power, and I think it's important to grasp the orders of magnitude at play here.
This is the type of innovation the world needs!

How come C# generics are a copy of Java when they were invented first and the only reason they didn't make it to 1.0 was not to delay the release schedule?

Java annotations are based on .NET atributes, and initially had a clusmy implementation requiring an annotations processing tool until they finally got integrated into javac.

LINQ paved the way to more FP acceptance among enterprise developers. Check "confessions of a language salesman" from Erik Meyer.

Also .NET always had AOT/JIT from the very beginning, whereas AOT was tabu at Sun and only commercial JDKs always had it as option.

With hundreds of thousands of candidates vying for them, and more qualified than there are slots available.

> More importantly though, I would argue that the skill level required in its employees for a startup to not go out of business is at least as high as that at these top companies.

I disagree with this one. First off, the skills required to help a small, rapidly-growing company be successful are very different than the skills required to help make a similarly-sized project within a large company successful. Second, I think most startups overestimate the quality of the people they need to successfully execute, partly due to the first point, partly due to not understanding the actual business risks, and partly due to overestimating the difficulty due to an inflated sense of self-importance WRT the company.

I also learned (m68000 & x386) asm before I learned C and subsequently C++ and I agree that having some asm knowledge helps learn how the machine works and how the higher level languages work as well.

But, I also want to say; If you plan on learning modern C++, skip C. You will just have to unlearn a bunch of stuff when you switch.

> That's why they call it "work" and not "fun".

No, it isn't. The "work" is the fact that I am applying my skillset to satisfy my employer's desire whether I feel like it or not; often, that means polishing and grinding at rather boring but rather necessary tasks.

None of that requires bullshit, and calling bullshit "work" normalizes toxic behavior.
