I don't think copying is bad. Copying is what's beautiful about Capitalism, it reduces everything to competition around the margins in cut-throat markets, with tons of choice.

Personally, I feel like if we want to foster research and innovation, subsidizing them directly is easier than creating eminently abusable rights and monopolies.

When a language contains lots of ways to shoot yourself in the foot, it's just not realistic to expect that those features aren't going to be misused when potentially millions of programmers might be coding in it. Even getting agreement of how to use features within a small team can be difficult, and you're always going to have to use external libraries developed by others that don't follow your coding standards.

The language design should make it easy to do the right thing and difficult to do the wrong thing in my opinion. When the language isn't designed this way, it's always an uphill struggle where the coding community has to devise and enforce their own standards.

That situation would require 2 people to have alternate roles at the same companies which is incredibly rare, if not already prevented in the corporate bylaws.

Many board members are in entirely different industries and sectors and some only serve exclusively on boards. Many others are investors whose money is being used to pay those executives. There's also a layer of shareholders above the board and voting is required for all major decisions.

I never said you can't have problems. I'm saying the fact that you think your problems are even comparable to most of the rest of the world comes from a lack of perspective & education.

You're more likely to get hit by an asteroid than killed by a cop in the US - the fact that you think it's a real issue worth talking about, in a thread about 3rd world countries, shows your lack of perspective. Go tell someone in Sierra Leone about police brutality stats and poverty levels and see how you get on.

I highly recommend you get out of your internet-San Francisco bubble and go and travel off the beaten path to get a better understanding of what the rest of the world still lives like.
Kind of a fucking shame. As individuals, we are generally quite powerless in the climate crisis. The world is being ruined by companies and governments that we generally cannot influence. The power we retain: how we spend our money. Electric vehicles offer perhaps the most significant opportunity for the average consumer to improve the carbon emission status-quo.

Regardless of the ecological impact, I've quickly come to see ICE cars as quite gross. I don't want tail pipes, the smell of gasoline fumes, or the angry noises. My E-Golf is delightfully zippy and quiet. For the driving experience, I'd choose this car in a heartbeat over any old-fashioned-engine auto.

That being said, it does suck to have an EV because of range anxiety, having to hunt for charging stations, and being forced to camp while the car charges. I really wish I had an PHEV to address these issues, but there are sadly few options on the market today.

I can only drive an EV because I've installed a charger at home, but most people do not have the ability to do so. I'll have to get rid of my EV when I move, downgrading to mini-explosions in my car.

...which leads to my point:

If Tesla was serious about transitioning the world to sustainable energy, they would build a full PHEV lineup, or offer generator options for their existing cars. You need to appeal to the vast majority of consumers who are not ready for full electric. But I suspect Tesla won't do this because they have too much pride.
15 million JPY/year is a lot of money. If the wages in America are really that high, Japan has trouble recruiting top talent from America, that's for sure. It might be that the Japanese companies aren't lean enough to able to afford wages like that.

Btw. another data point: I am a junior software engineer in Tokyo and I currently earn a bit over 6 million. I'm able to live very comfortably with that. I'm aiming for 8-9 million, but I'd expect you have to be an actual rock star developer for anything over that.
The downvotes come, I assume, from your parading how wonderfully clever you are, how much reading you've done, etc., as though the rest of the world should measure itself against your level of knowledge with a particular domain.

How do you use QMetaType::type without having to do the same as I said, which is explicit casting? afaik there's no way to get the 'real' type that you can shove into qobject_cast or dynamic_cast to turn QWidget into a QLineEdit.

>> Take an arbitrary dude off the street and give them the experience of a CEO

That experience takes decades of results to earn which is precisely why they're worth so much. Of course it's meaningless if you can magically train anyone else that easily.

>> at most lose the company 40% of growth/whatever

That would put most companies out of business. Would you like your employer to lose 40% of their staff?

>> nobody is 100x more efficient than anyone else

Yes they are, you just haven't worked with them. The networks and wisdom the top people build up is what helps them lead companies and make decisions for 1000s of employees with billions at stake. What they can do with a few phone calls can easily surpass the output of 100 startups.

This article is also talking about the TOP companies which obviously requires top talent. This is nowhere near the average and these salaries reflect the immense stress and responsibility that comes with the job. If you think you can lead a company this large that easily then you really do not understand what the position entails.
15 million JPY/year is a huge salary in Japan, even in Tokyo.

Ah thanks!, just saw this now.. Also I have a link on that page to IMDb lists I've found useful, they're a great place to find new ones. Or on the IMDb page of a movie you love, look at the lists with that movie in it.. Also, I didn't mention it, but the quality test is to read a couple of pages of user reviews on IMDb. Usually get a good idea whether I'll love it from that. (And for a movie to have 50% 1 star and 50% 9 star reviews is a lot better sign than all 7 stars.)

The Volt has an excellent track record for reliability, easily better than that of the Model 3, and earlier Model S (haven’t kept up with if they ever sorted out the issues from back when I wanted to buy one)

It also has better fit and finish despite costing less.

The Volt was an all around better car than the Model S I test drove and that’s why I have one (and two other cars in a similar price bracket so that is clear it wasn’t a price issue).

How'd you go from "will fewer people die of preventable medical causes" to "[i]f Medicare banned hip replacements for anyone older than 75"? To your specific example, immobility is a significant contributing factor for most age related conditions and a hip replacement is an expensive but efficient preventative treatment in old age, especially when it enables the patient to return to regular exercise. Hip replacements aren't like organ transplants where there are a limited number to go around that present an unavoidable moral dilemma. Such a ban would be political suicide for anyone who even proposes it since seniors vote much more reliably so I don't think anyone expects to ship the NHS bureaucracy here wholesale.
Computer science is a specific treatment of these topics that is based in formalism. Compare John McCarthy's "Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I" and Paul Graham's "The Roots of Lisp". These papers cover exactly the same material. But only the first is computer science because it uses a formal language to express the ideas.

1) We have become pretty good at using Slack casually as well. We have #random where people talk about anything.

2) We do daily-standups on Slack where some of the questions are around how people feel and what they have been doing outside of work recently. This brings people more together digitally.

3) We often do check-ins (1-2 times per week for remote people) to hear how things are going and help them progress.

4) We bring people together physically sometimes. We will pay for flights and accommodation so people can visit the closest office to them 1-4 times a year.

I figure that if you have different-size cars with different battery capacities (and shapes of their battery cavities), then "Car X needs 10 battery modules, car Y needs 13" is simpler (in one sense) to manage than "I have car X, do you have any of the batteries made to fit in it? No, you only have Car-Y-shaped batteries? Whoops."

> Electric vehicles offer perhaps the most significant opportunity for the average consumer to improve the carbon emission status-quo

Public transit. Electric cars hardly put a dent in climate change. We need higher density cities, less sprawl, more robust public transit, and a nationwide high speed rail network. These all require political will, policy change and public money -- no private company will do this.

> As individuals, we are generally quite powerless in the climate crisis. The world is being ruined by companies and governments that we generally cannot influence.

Right now the green new deal is an extremely popular idea in public consciousness, and activists have pushed it to the point that nearly every Democrat running for president has signed off on it. We are not powerless, use your platform and your resources to advocate for political change.

> One of these prioritises having a single way to do most tasks, while the other prioritises programmer expressiveness

And yet, whatever they claim to prioritize, they aren't particularly different on those fronts.

OTOH, they have radically different features even if both are dynamic multiparadigm languages, though it's true that decisions between languages often turn on ecosystem rather than language features independent of how different the language features are, and that's also true of Ruby vs. Python.
Worst part of python seems to be that there are no truly global variables. So those seasoned pythoners make spaghetti code where the global data is inherited and modified most complex of ways.

Is this a matter of professional pride? I do not know. I just make a module for truly global variables: class G: a=1; b=2; which can be easily accessed everywhere G.a=G.b+4 .

I could not find a framework like that when looking for it, however.

( At the time, I was looking for something allows me to quickly build frontend, and backend runtime in language that can be embedded into java, C++ and javascript).
