Been wondering how would it be to work another proffesion.
Like now I work as a programmer and don't have any hobies outside of computers but I could be working something else and do programming as a hobby... definitely worse for future money wise...
I always hated this argument. Its sort of like saying you need to take poison, so that if you ever get sick you can stop taking poison and possibly get better.

2ndly, interest rates were not very effective in these last recessions, the common metaphor is that its like pushing rope. So maybe its better for the fed to fight recessions with QE (or something else) and leave interest rates to 'fight' inflation.
Their sales and marketing is 25% of their expenses, and it’s not clear to me how much of that is driver incentives. Even if they cut all driver incentives and marketing they’re still in the hole.
OK ok... Sorry.

Thank you, because I assume the last step would be open sourcing it. People like you are what keep hardware going long after the original vendor abandons it or goes under.

Also, I agree on waiting for eBay, this is a nice device but I can't justify $99 for it.
FWIW they aren't difficult to do yourself, as long as you can sweat pipe. It's a very simple device after all.

Even a fancy bidet seat can be had for a couple hundred dollars (maybe 400 if you want to go all in for a fancy model) and installs in about 10 minutes. You still might need some toilet paper (drying function is on a weaker side on these) but I use maybe one tenths as much as before i got one...
i strongly suggest leaving if you can, its not likely that feeling will change
This kind of comment isn't helping. There is also Turo, a service where you can rent various cars including different Teslas. Pricier than normal rentals but not a bad investment if it helps someone make the right choice for them.

6 things to make board meetings more productive (Mark Suster)
I think parent means working on open source tasks is often "thankless" in the sense that it's extra work that doesn't necessarily benefit their employer.
The Amiga was years ahead. When I saw the Debbie Harry portrait by Andy Warhol I was mesmerized.

But the thing about the original Mac, to me at least, was the finesse, good taste, personality and coherence of the whole thing.

I didn’t have that feeling again until I saw BeOS and later the original iPhone.
Uh, because it’s owned by all of us, and cutting it down to make toilet paper is a fucking shame and a waste.
This is great!

I like to think that React — or more generally, component-driven user interface design — is the future of development on all platforms, not just the web. It really seems like we have “peaked” with concepts like state management, composability, and so on. Don’t get me started on how nice hooks will be in the mobile dev ecosystem.

I feel like React Native has taken a hit in the last year or so, with large companies saying they are moving away from it. I really hope that the RN community continues to flourish because I think it will inspire other platforms to move toward better developer experiences.
I can't think of much more terrifying as a 14 year old than if my parents had a window into my world. And I had a great relationship with them.

I would have rather gotten beat up once or twice as a kid, and learn to handle it, than have constant parental surveillance.

Privacy really is dead.

Clashing. Or harmonizing. Depending on perspective.
> It's as if someone launched an iPhone in 1985, and no one cared

Commodore had no clue what to do with it. It's like Apple launched iPhone, then Jobs spent the rest of the marketing budget on a yacht then told engineering to make everything cheaper. Eventually Gould and Ali were on 3x what the CEO of IBM got in the same years.

Tucked away somewhere, I still have the 1985 issue of UK's PCW (the serious magazine, comparable to Byte) when the A1000 was first reviewed. Something like 15 pages of glowing praise and how nothing else is in the same universe, it'll change the world, etc. They barely touched an Amiga ever again.
Brave. There are over 50 ads and trackers on that page.
>Also prepositions appear in few different ways based on the sound of the word, so "(to) dog" is "koira(lle)" but "(to) home" is "koti(in)".

There's a subtle difference between those. Perhaps the latter would be better off translated as "(in to) home", or perhaps the former as "(for) dog".
It's great to see someone advocating for alternative points of view with respect to IP.

It's a moot point though. Artisanal hardware is an intellectual dead end. Cost and IP and economics and whatever are a bunch of red herrings.

Hardware standardization is pretty much always superior to fragmentation. I've never heard a hardware engineer advocate for fragmentation! Bunnie Huang should be advocating for the artisanal manufacture of software.

Then again, it really begs the question, why don't we use any software that comes out of east Asia? Or let's say you buy into sales and profit and economics and mom-and-pop artisanal crafts and whatever as being in and of themselves valuable. It's not happening in Shenzhen with respect to software.

The answer is not as simple as localization. Bunnie is having a particularly reductive IP conversation, where there's no law and it's just whatever unwritten cultural norms you personally favor rule the land and can be enforced violently. The IP conversation must be bigger than that, because we live in a world where all the major tech companies, not just Chinese ones, are copying each other's features. And yet, nobody's calling that a lawless Shenzhen world. It's not really about copying or original inventions or any of what he's talking about!

So lemme ask you this: would you rather subscribe to an IP policy in the service of an idiosyncratic electronics hardware community? Or would you rather subscribe to whatever IP theory lets you write good software?

I'd choose the later. That theory is "Whatever the license says," and the diversity of licenses and their social impact speaks for themselves. For that to work, you have to respect the rule of law. Which isn't saying much!

More importantly, lawyers are innovative too. That legal work around OSS licenses has had a much bigger, much more positive impact on the quality of software than a fuck-the-IP-law attitude going on in Shenzhen.

I walked away from using Clojure years ago after I transitioned from a Clojure loving customer to customers who didn’t use Clojure at all. Whenever I read something written by Dragan I second guess my decision to give up on Clojure.

If you want, you can look up all the various laws and have a lawyer draw up a template letter for you, or you can pay the $47. He includes a photo gallery of the checks people have collected with info redacted for obvious reasons. That's what sold me.

Well, we wanted to start with something that directly and clearly puts money in your pocket. Tax write offs are a good one for that - we feel like too many people donate to the IRS.

When it comes to financial advising, there's a lot we can do but it's also trickier to automate.
Anyone who can read through your source code can make the program themselves. Someone would want to buy the service because they can't program nor read your code. Make it a guarantee if you think it is a selling point.
I fail to see how what amounts to a whistleblowing action revealing horrendous actions done by one of the two viable political parties is "interference."

The information revealed was information I was happy to learn. It was true, factual information taken directly from the bad actors committing crimes, violating federal law, and committing election fraud.

The other point is that we don't even know who leaked the information. The emails were completely unsecured and they were likely hacked by everyone and their dog. If the leak came from a US whistleblower, would it still be "interference?"

Why on earth would you not want to know this information? Because of political bias?

Harvest Exchange, Houston, TX (hvst.com)
We provide digital content marketing, reader analytics, and serve as a communications/content distribution platform between large financial institutions and their customers at various tiers throughout the finance industry, with additional white label opportunities.

All positions are ONSITE, for now. We do not have a formal INTERN program, but if the right candidate came along, we would make a competitive offer. There is a lot of experimental stuff an intern could get up to around here.

VISAS: we will sponsor all visas.

The dev team is currently 7, expanding to 10 in the near future. Our primary hiring limitation is to prevent the rapid expansion from being damaging.

We are hiring across the board, at all skill levels, for both SWE and SE (Junior, standard, senior SWE / standard, senior SE). Full Stack preferred, also accepting front end specialists. There are positions above Staff Engineer in our ladder, but we have not hired anyone into them before.

We are also looking for one full time data analyst to help us both answer client needs and delve into our data to assist in making data-driven product decisions. This is not a development role, but coding to munge data will be extremely helpful to applicants.

We are also looking for our first Software Test Automation Engineer to help jumpstart our QA team.

Tech Stack: Python, React/JS, Postgres, Rust

The problem with your insider tip is that everyone, dealer included knows about it. I hate when people say be prepared to walk when most of us don’t have a million dealerships to visit. Sure if you’re in Southern California you can visit 6 Honda dealers and waste 1-2 days. You’ll get the quoted price and then they’ll try to stick you the next time you come in. Consumer is at a huge disadvantage here because dealers know they have limited time. It’s no secret dealers make you wait forever so you grow impatient and agree to their bullshit. Some of us don’t want to deal with that kind of crap.
Yes, the Great Qing, 大清, was the last imperial dynasty of China. It was a roughly 300-year period during which the Chinese people did not enjoy self-rule. The Qing was established and ruled by the Manchus, a semi-civilized people from the northeast who conquered the (Chinese) Ming dynasty. Two Qing emperors had Chinese mothers, but the demarcation between Manchus and Chinese was always clear. The queue hairstyle that all male Chinese were legally required to wear as a symbol of subjugation was the Manchu traditional hairstyle. The Chinese hated it. (See: symbol of subjugation.)

Right now there are a few popular movements in China that do things like wear 14th-century clothing in their free time because what has come to be viewed as "traditional Chinese clothing" is, in their view, actually Manchu, having become popular under the Qing. Chinese-language tours of the Forbidden City will emphasize that although the Qing imperial family lived there and governed from there, the City was built in the Ming dynasty and is therefore authentically Chinese.

In other words, the distinction between the Qing ruling classes and the Chinese people has always been deeply felt on both sides, and still is.

In response to your edit a couple levels up:

> OK, so you argue that TFA is wrong about current Uyghurs being a "Turkic group".

I wouldn't put it that strongly. (I'll admit my wording there was pretty poor.) The current Uyghurs speak a Turkic language and broadly share a culture with other Turkic-speaking peoples around them. It's fair to call them a "Turkic group". But I think it's an error to assume they have very much in common with the ancient people also called the Uyghurs, and in particular they are not ethnically Turkic in the same way that the ancient Uyghurs were ethnically Turkic. But they are ethnically Turkic in the same way that the modern Turks (in Turkey) are ethnically Turkic.

(While we're on the subject of classifying ethnies by the language they speak, I'll note that the Manchu language does not belong to the Sino-Tibetan (Chinese) language family.)

> I'm pretty sure that there are many instances where the Spanish displaced one indigenous group with another. In the Caribbean, they committed genocide, and brought in African slaves.

Sure, the analogy between those Africans and the modern Uyghurs is much tighter than between the Spanish and the Uyghurs.
What's an example of how an entire country gets worse off with free trade according to the model of comparative advantage? That model is shown in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage#Ricardo'... and I don't see how you get that result, unless you're thinking of someone powerful in that country just appropriating all the gains, which act it seems perverse to blame on trade.
