No, Unions are not the issue here.

Collective bargaining would not yield Tom Cruise-like returns or even exceptional returns.

The reason is that devs are ultimately a commodity.

Actors, by the way - even good ones - are even more of a commodity. There are tons of spectacular actors who would work cheap.

What brings in the audience is not the quality of the acting, it's the familiarity of the person, or the 'living brand'.

The 'human being Tom Cruise' obviously has the most amazing, unbreakable IP protection on the 'brand Tom Cruise'.

And it's the 'brand Tom Cruise' that has value. (And He only has to be a decent actor, not a even a great one)

Unions might help with some things ... but generally that's not going to be it.

The other thing to consider is the hugely risky and hit-driven nature of the business. Any 'investor' in games is risking so much, that the returns may be a little biased.

Consider that even for a game that 'made a lot of money' - it still may not be rational to have invested in that game! It still maybe overall a 'bad investment' to invest in such things.
I wasn't talking hypothetical, I was talking out of my own experience. Yes, these codebases exist and, yes, maintenance isn't easy, especially because of dynamic typing.
We did. People used to spend more time outside, more time walking. Older novels seem to mention animals and plants modern people wouldn't recognize.

And of course there just existed more nature. We are destroying our environment and are losing many species. It's getting harder and harder to just enjoy a carefree joke about it...
that being said, in Chinese culture and education...lecturing is more of a thing. All these new agey experiential education has yet to sink in the mainland yet..
Avoiding publishers is one way to deal with it. Crowdfunded gaming has grown, but it also hit certain ceiling.

Companies like inXile, Obsidian and Compulsion Games were using crowdfunding, but got swallowed by MS apparently because they couldn't sustain projects of the size they wanted to, using just crowdfunded money.

It's a problem really.
Plenty is getting done in NYC.

Indeed, the changes in the last 15 years (due almost entirely to government intervention -- mostly at the city level) have been quite profound. The idea that local government is "powerless" is simply disconnected from reality.
Is there actually a duplication of effort?

Are they not open to foi requests?

I don't mean to be so repetitive, I've just heard the line "SF government is inefficient" many times but have yet to come across the kind of evidence I could take to a city council meeting and demand change with.
Do you know what else works almost without configuration, it's fast and produces small minifiable bundles? Browserify.
And then there is the holistic practice where there is no blanket statement, but an answer for just your body

Unfortunately no two holistic practictioners can articulate their method, or come to the same conclusion or repeatable conclusion

No better than a fortune teller reading palms in an alley

Individualized medicine has some merit, and I think we are close to being able to do that, it has the possibility to incorporate some holistic remedy, but at that point it will just be called “a prescription” and the holistic practioners will continue to be on the fringes of science and quackery
Benioff didn't come around. He is from SF, unlike a lot of other Tech CEO's. His company has made significant investments in the City proper. He's been playing the long game for a while now.

I don't have an opinion on Prop C. The thrust of my argument was more around prop 13.
> Every study I have seen does not confirm this so I would like to see your source.

Me, myself and I, as a reasoning citizen even before being an engineer... I see exactly zero conclusive study about how to dismantle/dismiss used EV batteries and actual solution is to ship them in some part of Africa and least developed countries of Asia, the same for ship demolition, plastic etc. So there is NO viable strategy. Few peoples push totally absurd ideas like "reuse them for home energy storage" of various kind but again beside they are absurd because of costs they do not say a word about what to do when even least residual capacity will be over.

And even beside that there is exactly no real conclusive study on the effective environmental impact of EV batteries production, again the problem remain cached since work is done in China or other non-western countries.

Please do not confuse press-spread ideas from unknown with scientific study, they are a totally different beast and you can even quickly discover many of them simply thinking on what they say instead of being pampered by well constructed dreams.
I thought there might be a way to use constructive and destructive interference of a large number of sources to build an open air 3d hologram out of pure light. If light didn't have to travel in a straight line, and we could control the index of refraction at any point in space, this would probably work.
Containers with Transitions: Firefox add-on to pick container based on origin
What do you mean by “the fundamentals of quantum physics”? If you’re talking about phenomena like superposition and entanglement, the answer is absolutely yes.
I use my phone a lot, and gladly spend a few $ a day for a marginal improvement in my quality of life.

Another question - why do people spend $30k on a car when a $10k car is nearly as good? Seems like a much bigger waste of money than the phone.
> Apple is messing around with us on the CPU thing

Are you referring to modulating the power usage to avoid random shutdowns? If so, I don't understand why people have viewed that as a nefarious scheme. Seems completely reasonable to me. The newer user-visible stats on battery health and power usage are also a good idea, but don't change the physics involved, you still need to modulate power usage to match what is available or shut down.
In my experience, this discussion gets convoluted by confusing modularity with monorepo. They are orthogonal to each other; you can have a very modular codebase in a monorepo but also a very coupled (non-modular) codebase with polyrepo.

Though it's true that monorepos without proper discipline can tend towards coupling. Yet, when discussing mono vs poly, we should keep this in mind.
Submission statement: this is a Firefox extension I've been working on for a while, forked from Multi-Account Containers (which unfortunately seems to be very lightly maintained/not seeing much further development). Apart from some papercut solutions (based on personal opinions: the close-and-reopen mechanism to pick the right container for a tab seems to cause TST physical pain, so I tried to reduce the cases where it fires), it adds one big feature, which is container transition rules: rather than just setting a single default container for a website, you can say that you want to open it in a particular container X whenever it was opened (via a link, redirect, ...) from container Y.

This solves a common issue I was encountering when browsing, where I'd start out with some Facebook tab (dutifully containerised), click some links in the chat, follow some more links from the pages arrived at, and before long I'd have a subtree of 30+ tabs all being in the Facebook container while having absolutely no business seeing my Facebook cookies.

There's more documentation and some usage examples on the addon page. Of course, this is beta-quality software. I'd appreciate if you could try it out and give feedback and bug reports. Also, you should disable Multi-Account Containers before running this, since they both hook into the same events and I don't want to know what happens if they disagree over what container a page should go into.

See also the Reddit discussion, where I provide some more rationale: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/abpssw/containers_...
The same phenomenon also applies to color blending. In a modern context this phenomenon is especially visible in UI elements that blur the background: Up until recently many UIs did not get the blurring right, resulting in greyish dark spots between different colors. I think CSS blurring in most browsers still gets it wrong.

Sure, but that is a different explanation than the demand for the new models is down, which is what one of the major narrative's seems to be over the last 24 hours.
Thats an even better example of mindless consumerism. At least an expensive phone actually has slightly better features. A tshirt is a tshirt, if it feels good and looks good thats the only meaningful statistics. The expensive ones don't last any longer than the cheap ones in my experience and its purely to show off that you have an expensive brand name shirt.
This is just HE.net's network (with an overlay of submarine cables globally), very few if any US or EU based network operators have network presences in Russia or China (perhaps with the exception of Moscow and St Petersburg).

The 52% voted for something that in reality doesn't meet the expectations of those people.

It seems to me that a big part of the current political stalemate is that many people want to tell us what the 52% or the 48% did or didn't vote for, but almost invariably it's just their opinion/projection with no particular evidentiary basis. There have been relatively few decent surveys from just before or since the referendum, and even those we do have available don't support a lot of the inflammatory rhetoric and stereotypes about who voted either way or why.

"A referendum result either is democratic or it is irreversible, but it cannot both. Any democracy should be able to change its mind, at any time. Just as no parliament can bind another, no electorate can bind another."

This is true as a matter of law under our constitution, but of course politically the situation isn't as simple as that. Running another referendum would be expensive and time-consuming, and unless there was going to be an overwhelming change to the opposite view (for which there is little expectation on current evidence) it's not clear that it would actually resolve anything, whether the result was again a slight majority for leave or reversed to a slight majority for remain.
That's the joke he's making, they chose a name that needs to be said in full to avoid confusion because all abbreviations will just lead to more confusion
WeChat is definitely popular but it isn't everything.

Chinese users also buy apps, take photos, watch movies, listen to music, create content. All of which on iOS is tied to the Apple services ecosystem and hence the switching costs are still significant.
I think there's an additional difficulty when those unfamiliar with more rigorous (as compared to pop sci anyway) physics/mathematical discussions.

There is simply a great deal of unintuitive interactions to keep in mind all, at once, when attempting to rationalize how many of these interactions happen. Physicists and mathematicians combat this by working with specific abstractions enough to become intuitively familiar with the behavior of said abstractions.

Unfortunately, this packing away of unintuitive complexity behind intuitive interactions is unavailable to the lay reader. Any specific interaction can be explained in simple enough language, eventually, if the curious reader keeps asking why. However, when they attempting to pop back up the why stack and get back to the big picture (i.e. the world people can understand intuitively), lay readers lose the nuance in the noise created by the volume.
I agree that the default settings create a lot of useless output, but disagree with the rest of your comment.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the code Doxygen generates or with its C++ parser. I've worked on large projects using crazy Boost pre-processor macros and plenty of C++14 features and Doxygen handled it all fine.

IME the number one problem with Doxygen is that the people writing the doc comments do a poor job. It's garbage in, garbage out.

The Java documentation is great because the people who write it put in a ton of effort to actually explain how to use their API, with examples, hyperlinks to other modules, version information, compatibility issues, and everything else. They're not adding trivial @param and @return comments as an afterthought.

Unfortunately, a lot of Doxygen documentation seems to be the trivial kind that tells you "@param foo The integer parameter foo" but doesn't give any clue how to use the library, class, or method.
And WeChat has been all of those things for years, so what's different about 1Q19?
The rule is designed for humans who lack perfect judgment. If you aren't in that category, why are you driving an automobile?
Please don't. It's just too slow and not efficient. Instead use common open source best practices of shared library architecture. Problem solved!
Putting everything into one repo is just lack of organization and creates a huge mess.
The boundary would likely appear to be infinitely far away, and so you could never see it actually happen.
I don't disagree that I haven't created any types, but to someone who doesn't see the declaration of meter or centimeter, it can be difficult to know that. Especially if you combine it with almost always auto.

You can created tagged structs, but you inevitably end up needing to extract the value underneath.

Regarding casts and void pointers, I think they're a slightly less dangerous case. My Spidey senses tingles whenever I need casts - static (or to a certain extent dynamic) casts are normally ok, but a reinterpret cast or a void* parameter is going to warrant a discussion and explanation in a code review.
Why can't it be both? It seems logical that a downturn would hit luxury models most strongly.

High pricing can often be self-justifying, especially if it's combined with actual higher quality - except once you reach the point that a thing involves too many material sacrifices and then suddenly the "value proposition" stops making sense.
That happened with the web, ironically helping Apple's 'desktop' marketshare. To a large extent, this has always been the case with mobile (particularly if you want to think back to pre-app iOS, where the only lock-in was perhaps with iTunes music).

Personally, iMessage and shared iPhoto galleries between a dozen family members around the globe make it fairly "sticky" with me, but there's no reason I couldn't just consume the photos on desktop.

I'm not sure I have much of a point here, but I don't think the switching costs have ever been all that high with mobile, and since the popular platforms are pretty mature, most 'necessary' apps are cross-platform.
Where's SICP ?
It's not, why do I have to checkout terabyte of code that I don't need, even if the code is modularized?
I agree - I have to keep sweets to a minimum with my 1 year old because he really, really prefers them over normal food for hours or even days after eating them. He also loves very salty foods. He's like any kid really, just smaller (which causes me even more concern about him eating a lot of salt and sugar).
I added a link. There are a number of articles on the lack of accountability in this system. It's not hard to find.
Perhaps you could elucidate us with the way you feel people are misusing the word?
Yeah NO ONE has ever made money selling luxury consumer goods, ever. /s
I double checked our database and there were indeed no postings for West Virginia. There were 2 in 2017.
Why do people buy mid size luxury sedans when a Honda Accord exists?
I find it hard to believe that skin products actually change your skin quality. My wife has been applying all kinds of creams and products to her face half an hour or more every day for decades. We're the same age and our skin quality is pretty comparable.

Now, she does look a lot better when she's wearing makeup, that stuff really works when it comes to hiding minor imperfections especially from a distance.
Off topic, but I think jeans are a great example of a product where more money leads to a better product, especially for a well informed consumer. Japanese Selvage Denim[0] (starting at ~$80)[1] uses higher quality denim, is woven tighter, comes unstretched/untreated so that the fabric better forms to the wearer's unique body shape, and often uses natural dyes which fade slower.

In my experience they last longer, feel more comfortable, hold a better shape, keep a better color.

Is picolisp ( https://picolisp.com/wiki/?home ) too big to make this list?
$650 to $1000 is a big jump, but it's important to factor inflation into any financial logic unless you want bad conclusions.

Random inflation calculator is telling me that 2019 prices should be 6% more than 2015 prices. So right there you're talking about $690 for the same phone this year. The 55% apparent increase in phone price over that period is more like 50%. Which is still huge, but not quite as huge.

Not sure whether it is better to signal before or after looking, but that was what my partner's driving instructor taught.
I think his point is that truly intelligent people would know better than to do this because it requires more holistic thinking (i.e. accounting for the reality of other people). The person you’re describing may be intelligent in some ways, but not enough to zoom out and understand the bigger picture.

Elon Musk is another good example. Someone who is so much a victim of his behavioral impulses and savior complex that he’s a catastrophically negligent leader, as recounted by Tesla employees in a recent story.

I’m of the opinion that you’re not truly intelligent if you are unable to recognize and correct for your own character flaws.
This. It's a seemingly easy concept, but so hard for us as humans to wrap our heads around the fact that others don't find beauty in the same things we do. Like my friends who cannot believe I don't share their taste in music, for example. There are lots of people who don't see beauty in nature at all, and prefer the beauty of cities, skyscrapers and crowds.
The problem is that I can't tell which of my ideas are novel.
If you spent $1000+ on a new camera every year and you weren't a professional photographer then I would be questioning your decision making skills.
Funny. John James Audubon, working in the early 1820s, didn't have a camera. So he shot lots of birds.[0]

To answer your question, you can use HTML+RDFa to annotate any element with semantic info, or simply use meta-links (in the HTML head) for per-page metadata.

W3C's semantic web is a lost cause, though, as is XHTML. I don't know why the paper speaks about "the first 20 years", as there's been zero activity for years and I think the semweb charters have been closed years ago.

If you're interested in document engineering based on real and practical standards, I'd suggest looking into ISO SGML (superset of XML and HTML) and maybe ISO Topic Maps (with Tolog/ISO Prolog as query language).
> Do I think Apple is milking it and offers nothing new? HELL YES

But this really isn't the question. People "overpay" for luxury goods all the time in lieu of higher quality cheaper products.

Selling expensive stuff doesn't necessarily mean you have to or should have the best stuff.
Chances are you will end up downloading a lot of dependencies anyways, why not have git deliver it all?
Librem 5 is coming out sometime this year. https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/

You should be able to use all of the services you've listed (some of them through the browser, not sure about Lyft).
I disagree, I think we can strip out a lot of stuff that goes into conscious behavior like how all the various sensory systems work, how learning works, etc. If that's what you're looking for there isn't anything weird really, and we have growing models and analogs for a lot of these sub-processes that go into it. Once you get past that, you'll still be left with weirdness: even if we fully understand how vision works, how is it that my brain is continuously rendering what is essentially a fully 3d high-res spherical monitor all around me, and I find myself in the center of it? How does all of this become one cohesive experience, and who is experiencing it?

If a mono-repo has a terabyte of code, or if 10 small repos have 1/10th a terabyte each, what have you really gained? In any case, git LFS solves large file storage effectively, as do a number of other artifact storage solutions, and a repo with a terabyte of code is _not_ going to be trivially split apart, since it would be by a factor of thousands, the biggest codebase ever created by humankind.
Yeah, I mention it in the Comparison[1] section of the docs ;)

> WSJ today posted this alarming chart of Chinese consumption-tax revenue...

Here's an outline link for that WSJ article: https://outline.com/tH8sWn

And here's the passage that describes what goods are affected by that consumption tax:

> Consumption tax in China is imposed on luxury goods such as high-end cosmetics and jewelry, and items deemed environmentally unfriendly, like cars and gasoline.
Hum, actually any car can be "exclusively powered by electricity", see start&stop systems or a mere 1st speed/reverse + starter motor...

IMO an electric vehicle is a vehicle capable of run with electrical motor's in any condition. So a modern hybrid-series ship is actually electrical because it's propulsion is electric only, parallel-hybrid vehicle are not electrical since they can't really work only on electrical motors except for limited usage.
Apple has never tried to compete on price and as such continues to capture most of the profit in the industry. Seems like a good business plan to me.

Give me a break.

This idea that anyone who isn't buying some cheap Android phone is doing it for fashion/trend reasons is ridiculous, insulting and condescending.

The fact is that I care about my privacy and security and only Apple seems to take it seriously. They also support their devices for years so I look at it like its an investment. That is easily worth the extra $10 or $20 a month I pay for my mobile phone plan.
The iPhone 7 was a big tipping point in performance and capability.
Chinese flagships offer better, more differentiated technology at the same or lower prices... also Android AOSP China is more desirable now because Android apps are first class citizens in China (WeChat + social + camera apps).

Apple is losing it's innovation edge as well. Current flagship phone cycles in China are faster than Apple's -- triple, quad cameras, in-screen fingerprint readers, articulating selfie-cams, pinhole selfie screens, and a much better storage proposition (much more NAND for the price in almost every Chinese Android flagship).
The blind spot mirrors[1] are one of my favorite things about my 2012 Focus. They are a good size and significantly increase the my field of view. I definitely miss them when driving other cars.

It's a shame that manufacturers are going the route of digital blind-spot indicators when mirrors are simpler and more fool proof.

You still have to know the state of the whole boundary (which is huge) but the important part is that the boundary is one fewer dimension than the interior, which (apparently) makes the math easier.
