That would imply that there is no climate change happening, as we would have priced in that externality and resolved the issue by now. Right?

As it turns out, that isn't right, because nobody who has incentive to price the externality right is allowed to be part of the process, and the ones who are part of the process are incentivized to cheat and not price externalities at all, or to price them poorly.

So we have runaway climate change. And we have structures preventing that from improving because the incentive structures are flipped to the opposite right now. There is no indication that will change, in fact the incentives to pollute and remove the externality of pollution from the cost of goods sold and services provided, so that we are actually accelerating this path towards higher pollution (see Trump's coal-and-oil-championing attitude).
And helping regimes like Saudi Arabia oppress their people was definitely a sin. I'm okay with these individuals losing their jobs. It should give them time to rehabilitate themselves if they so choose.

For some people (myself included) the technology is part of the fun. The cargo cult popularity can definitely influence the decision to play with the technology, and by no means does it indicate that it is entirely appropriate for the task at hand. I personally use it as an exercise to familiarize myself with the patterns in a toy environment, which leaves me better equipped to apply them for a problem that lends itself to the technology. It also helps in preparing me to find those applications with a better understanding of the costs and semantics. While the knowledge may not be used for a practical purpose, at the end of the day, I learn something new, and I have a new way of looking at problems and understanding how to solve them with fresh perspective.

The fact that this is on the top of the front page without a single comment to the contrary makes me sick. Read, "Inventing the AIDS Virus" by Peter Duesberg. Look at the scientist who went around injecting himself with HIV at press conferences to show its non-transmissibility. Look at the fact that there's a different definition for AIDS in US, Canada, WHO, etc... This is a giant money making scam. AIDS = 1 of ~20 "AIDS-defining illnesses" + HIV! If you have any one of those identical "AIDS defining illnesses" (i.e. Kaposi's sarcoma), then health organizations say you just have that illness... Unless you test positive for HIV too! HIV tests are non-specific; you're more likely to have a false positive if you're pregnant, for example. This is just a rebranding so they could kill millions using the same antiretrovirals that failed cancer clinical trials previously.

I'm sure, as usual, my comments will be censored. HN is sickening. How not a single comment in this thread questions this one iota means that so-called "intellectuals" and "geeks" are a sham and a facade.
I've lived in Melbourne and Sydney, and Sydney is a pretty excellent place to work and live on an Atlassian salary, I'm not sure it's the city where I'd be focusing improvements.

Sydney compensation could use a bump in compensation to justify moving from places like Melbourne and Brisbane. In my limited experience they sometimes don't pay enough to cover the increased cost of living, particularly rent.

Otherwise I'd agree with Scott that Australia needs overseas talent. At Canva, where I work, the strong majority hired are overseas talent. Australia's software industry is too small for these companies' appetites, and its universities aren't producing a large enough supply of talented grads.

In the early 2000s I worked for an early cloud company. We interviewed someone whose name I recognized as someone associated with a very well known person that had been convicted for computer crimes, and that this someone had testified to avoid prosecution himself. (Edit: he had plead guilty.)

Despite the someone’s recognizeable name, at no point did he disclose this aspect of his past. We decided to pass on him.

Awesome comment.
No. People have been living on the same land in China for a long time and aspects of it’s culture survived, but that’s about it.

Rome lasted ~1500 years as a continuous political entity. Zhou dynasty comes is about half that at ~790 years. Though, you can make various arguments around those numbers.

https://github.com/devbox-hero/ansible-roles - so the reason I made this was:

1. Since I work a lot from 3g, and other bad connections. I wanted to have some place I can do my work easily. You try download npm on 3g

2. Why do we buy $3-4k macbook pros when we can rent servers for like 25 cents an hour that are as good.
One argument is that it may not be actually legal to treat them as contractors. See https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/understanding-employee-vs-contr...
I've found the same to be true for Uber Eats. If my order is wrong, they give a full refund no questions asked (and a meal is typically $20-25). And orders get messed up a lot (maybe 1 out of 5). Even something as small as missing ketchup, I'll get half off.
It really depends.

At very large scale owning can be cheaper based on contracts with various vendors. That said it’s really hard to beat cloud vendors particularly with various discounts in place at anything short of cloud vendor scale.
Nope - if I log into the New York Times and look at the real estate section for Sunday, March 2, 1975 (pg.294 if you have a subscription) you'll see an ad for a 5 bedroom (10 rooms total) on 5th avenue in the 80's for $150K that would be more like $12M today or a whole townhouse in the east 60's (pg.273) for $164k...
That seems like a ton noise with very little, if anything to show for it. It still seems like the IWW is a weird place to start a search for unionization, or a model to follow.

Im sure you would do great in a full stack web application engineer role, or lead, or other lead engineer role. I have to ask though, have you ever worked on a team of developers, especially with one or many other teams with engineers who have the same amount or more experience? If not, then that is an area that may render some opportunities to be more out of reach, unfortunately.

You're going to get inquiries about agile, test driven development, release cycles, code reviews, build pipelines, and overall dev team processes that you're familiar with.

Like other comments here, focus your value as a senior dev, maybe even on certain stack or framework.

Good luck to you sir!
…I don't know what to say. How has nobody called them out for this yet?
I don't want to sound like a grouch, but it might be worth noting that the list of ways for founders & investors to devalue common shareholders is quite long. Dilution, recapitalization, you name it. At every investment point, the company (i.e., the controlling interests) have the opportunity to effectively reincorporate and reallocate ownership.

Really my point is that ultimately there's a level of good faith action required on the part of both founders and investors in order for even the best case scenarios to yield money for common stockholders. It's one reason why reputation is so important in business.

No employment contract you sign with an employer is ever "ironclad", so you do your best to make sure they're reasonable people who understand the value of reputation and that business is "iterative" -- in the game theory sense!
The script has changed considerably over time between different dynasties, and different areas have had mutually unintelligible languages, even if sharing similar script.

For example: Japan shares many characters with Chinese, and Korean and Vietnamese both used to use Chinese characters, but they are all separate languages. Similarly, numerous "dialects" in China are less mutually intelligible than many different Western languages. Compare Portuguese and Spanish to Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese (Hokkien), Fuzhounese, Shanghainese, etc. Not to mention languages like Mongolian (see the Yuan dynasty). And that doesn't even begin to get into even more ethnically diverse regions like Tibet and western China.

Then there's also the "warring states period" when, for over 250 years, no fewer than 14 different independently governed states made up what is today eastern China.

Claims that China has always been one civilization are politically expedient versions of history that glaze over an enormous quantity of inconvenient facts.

Did you know that after the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople, Sultan Mehmed viewed himself as the successor of the Roman Empire and declared himself "Caesar of Rome"?

China today is as much a continuation of those previous states as Turkey is of the Roman Empire.
As a german:

- A speed limit of 140km/h would be fine for me, although sometimes disappointing when the road is really empty and there's a lot of distance to cover.

- A speed limit of 160km/h would be totally fine for me. Around that +-10km/h is somewhere around the limit that I find comfortable on the Autobahn.

- A limit of 180km/h probably also satisfies most of the other customers, and might be the sweet spot between still being very fast and not losing a lot of customers that would want to go even faster.
It's also worth considering that besides this thread, the only other post from that account was "Wow, GTA V IRL.". I think it's reasonable to be suspicious of the veracity of the account.

Rights that aren't asserted are not likely to be respected. Yes, of course these rights apply to everyone, but the laws and policies being enacted aren't taking those rights away from everyone, they're taking them away from trans people. If there were laws passed to do things like prevent cisgender men and women from using anything other than unisex bathrooms, it wouldn't make much sense to rally support for trans rights, would it? But that's not what's happening, what's happening is an infringement against trans people, specifically. Would it make much sense for firefighters to ignore individual fires and only put fires out when everything was on fire?
Wikipedia explains it well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Team

HackingTeam is a Milan-based information technology company that sells offensive intrusion and surveillance capabilities to governments, law enforcement agencies and corporations. Its "Remote Control Systems" enable governments and corporations to monitor the communications of internet users, decipher their encrypted files and emails, record Skype and other Voice over IP communications, and remotely activate microphones and camera on target computers. The company has been criticized for providing these capabilities to governments with poor human rights records, though HackingTeam states that they have the ability to disable their software if it is used unethically.
How is there more coupling between a company's profit and negative social externalities resulting from its actions when the company is privately-owned? If anything, I would think there's rather less coupling in privately owned companies, as a public company is at least forced to be somewhat transparent, publish SEC releases, subject itself to audits, etc. For example, unlike a private company, it wouldn't be possible for Google to engage in a material transformation of their business without accounting for it publicly towards their shareholders.

Did you pass on this person because of the prior conviction that he chose not to volunteer, or because he flunked the interview and wasn't a good fit for the team?

Why would you feel they’re required to disclose that information? In eleven states and thirteen cities, it’s even illegal for you to ask as an employer (“ban the box” initiatives), public or private (its drastically more states and cities for only public employers not permitted to ask).

Is Huawei compelled by Chinese law to help with espionage?
An infinite number of people working for Google cannot stop me from not working for them. Which makes no difference to them and all the difference to me.

Everybody dies anyway, nobody is remembered, or gets to keep anything; we can build what we want, end result is the same. The only brief moment of reality is our experience of the universe and the kind of life we lead, and if what you claim true for "the vast majority of people" was true, IMO that would just mean the vast majority are deeply sick and probably frightened shitless of death. That'd no doubt be very important for them, but how would it matter for me? Should I jump into their pool, to drown alongside them and make them feel better?
I'm sure all three users revolted.
Exactly ! :)
The concept of a corporation existing solely to maximize profit is a new development coming out of the Chicago school of economics. For most of our legal history, any company that received limited liability was required to consider a broader set of constituents; including shareholders, debt holders, employees and society. Often they were given an explicit charter from the king or the sovereign and were engaged in highly risky behavior that was believed to be extremely socially valuable but which most investors and managers wouldn’t pursue unless they weren’t personally liable.

This is as opposed to a general partnerships, which most businesses were until the 1980s, where the owners were personally responsible for all debts and harm the firm caused. Delaware didn’t even have LLCs until 1991 and corporations were much harder to form.

We don’t have to live in a society where a fundamental structure organizing human activity ignores the well being of many of the core constituencies it interacts with; we write the rules. We could decide that corporations and their officers have to balance their effort maximize value for shareholders, employees, debt holders, their local community and the country. The social contract can be negotiated.

I say this as a start up founder, entrepreneur, and capitalist.

Finally, your argument assumes competition exists to reap the benefits of competition; but monopolies and dualoplies such as Uber/Lyft exist specifically to achieve network effects and the pricing power they allow. That is clearly great for shareholders but inefficient for everyone else. Being a capitalist doesn’t mean being pro business in all its forms. Monopolies are destructive to innovation, wealth distribution, efficiency, and over the long term capital appreciation.

Anyway; No down vote from me.

Regarding sudden acceleration (and it's a good time to remember acceleration isn't speed) avoiding accidents...

I live in Brazil. There is a tax supposed to cause road accidents here. If your powertrain is > 1.0, the tax you pay when buying cars has a sudden increase. Therefore, many if not most people buy 1.0 cars here (). This is valid even for some that are not consider lower end here (though would be anywhere else in the civilized world).

It's actually the most common type of crash on highways here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3907522/

Anyways, one great reason of accidents here is frontal collisions. People either don't take into account that they are driving snails, not cars, and try to take over on the road but fail to do so at an adequate distance.

The thing is if you are at, say, 80km/h it gets really hard to increase your speed 5 or 10km/h in short amount of time. I believe that people driving powerful cars don't think about this often, and all it takes is an idiot to tailgate you while you are trying to take over to make shit happens. Another unfortunate thing is that you might find yourself tailgating the vehicle upfront before taking over it to reduce the needed distance.

* highways here are usually one lane each way most times. Sometimes two. I love when I go to southern California for work, and there are 12 lanes with almost no traffic (yes, traffic here is worse than there).

Yeah, no. Even vigorous bareback anal sex transfers HIV only a minority of the time. Sitting on semen or menstrual fluid, or even rubbing it on your outer sphincter, is not going to give you HIV.

> How is that “evil”? Isn’t that the crystallization of the teleological purpose of a company?

It might be for some people, but I wouldn't say that view is universal. In my view the teleological purpose of a company is to strive to act morally and ethically while providing value to society. I think trying to replace that with a mechanism driven by a map-model is pretty dystopian.
This is pretty cool idea! Would there be any possibility of trying to convert a model to javascript/node?

Agreed, it's painful to use and much more so since they rolled out the UI update a few months ago. On the other hand, it's so ingrained in our company's workflow that it's hard to replace.
