of their biggest competitive advantages was that they didn't charge sales tax

absolutely untrue. in the beginning, Amazon was not required to collect sales taxes (in the USA, can't speak to other countries policies) and did not grow into what it has become because it saved people a measly 8-10% off the purchase price.
Everything you’ve claimed about Amazon applies to traditional retailers.
As of mid-2018, just about all retailers have to collect sales taxes on their out-of-state shipments, presence or not.

Funny how the law that allowed Amazon to grow so much has been unwound just as it stops benefitting Amazon...

The Old Testament is there for context. It's not a matter of guessing or choosing, and the decision was made early on not to force non-hebrews to follow Old Testament law (meant specifically for Israelites) if they joined up.
The intellectual level of understanding the concepts behind all of this is basically a generation behind the rest of the oecd in America due to lack of experience and lack of curiosity about other countries.

The comment was mostly aimed at the poor state of audio on Linux. I think it’s important to understand what your goals are when you’re doing this. Are you building something? Will it be mass-manufactured? Does it need to be reliable? Does it need to be low-latency?

If you’re building something one-shot or playing around, RPi is great it’s just that real-time audio on Linux is a pain.

If you want to play with real-time, low-latency effects I would get a Mac or Windows PC and hook it up to a $100 USB audio interface.

If you want to mass manufacture a box that makes noise, at that point it starts to make more sense to research DSPs. They often have weird architectures and the toolchains might not be great. But I suspect that more and more audio stuff is moving to general purpose CPUs and microcontrollers.

Ugh. It's a part of their disabilities website, even featuring "an engineer who has Asperger's syndrome".

Wow. :(
It's a little more nuanced than that, and it does depend on the condition in question. Autism in SV has a reasonably benign reputation, but other mental "abnormalities" not so much.

An SO of many years had bipolar disorder, and it helped me get a deep appreciation for the amount of game theory that goes into disclosing one's condition to others, especially at work. Most of the "reaction" from people doesn't have to be explicit, nobody is going to call you "the crazy girl" to your face at work.

BUT, given the reputation and stigma that something like bipolar disorder has, you're never sure how exactly you're implicitly (as in, implicit bias) being treated differently by your peers.

Did your company pass on giving you a certain role because they're not sure you can handle the pressure with your condition? Are peers and managers looking at your behavior through the lens of someone who is not in control of their mental states? How many years will it take for you to establish a reputation of someone who's reliable and fight against the natural inclination of those around you to distrust your equanimity? Are people going to interpret your shortcomings through the lens of "she must be off her meds"? Will someone be able to use your condition as leverage over you in a competitive environment and how do you prove discrimination against you in that case?
I think OP has a valid point. How do we differentiate the discourageable bad behavior from someone's disabilities? Trying to draw a line there is almost an exercise in futility. I would not want to be the HR person that has to handle a situation like that.
I've also had VERY bad airbnb experiences deteriorating over the last 1.5 years ever since their intention to IPO/make profit. I'm a frequent traveler (4+ months abroad a year) and most of that time was in airbnbs. I made a pact to never use again if I can help it from here out.

I could give multiple examples/long stories. What's sad is the first many years using service were amazing!

I will not be buying their stock post IPO (and avoid renting at all costs); I'd be curious to see if a short is sustainable because it seems like I'm not the only one, compounding with all these other problems.
In Europe, there is http://specialisterne.com helping to hire people with Asperger‘s. Pretty good experience so far, can certainly recommend.

The article uses the term "government" but the citation refers to Tencent doing this voluntarily, as a form of preemptive self-regulation. The distinction is blurred but this does not appear to be a law or public policy at the moment.
It's true. ER doctor which is just a small step above GP can earn 500k plus in Wyoming or similar. These communities should be allowed to import physicians from other countries and pay them 150k instead. This is sheer lunacy. If those people decide to make that trade off that's up to them (they could not only get good Indian and African doctors but they could likely still attract European doctors at that rate!)
We can't put an education expert in every home, but we can put all the children in "correct child raising institutions" where they'll follow strict schedules, intense education and balanced diets. So that we'll be sure the kids will be productive elements for the society when they grow up.

I bet in a few generations people would start asking questions like "if it wouldn't be the state, who would raise our children?".

Joking aside, it's not the state's role to raise our children. It's only role should be to make sure the kids are not abused and that's it.

Most store brands are made by contract manufacturers to the stores specifactions. It’s rare for a store to directly manufacture their own goods in the food industry. This is because a store only needs a given type of facility for a few days a month, making it uneconomical to operate it themselves.
One should get a refund of the canceled booking but my last experience is they did NOT cover the extra cost of booking alternative hotel.

Had a NYE reservation in London canceled hours before my flight. Had to get hotel rooms ( I brought my parents on the trip ).

AirBnb support absolutely useless in rebooking (and no options, just one not close to similar listing repeating multiple times from different 'hosts').

What makes me so angry though was that a phone support agent told me they would give me 50% of a few days of the airbnb reservation cost to cover extra costs. I asked them to push too manager to cover full difference. But instead of offering to cover costs, over chat/email they claimed the phone person never made a promise and only paid me $85 (the difference was multiple thousands).

I asked for the recording but they never responded. I looked into arbitration but the cost/benefit of my time wasted doesn't work out.

That's exactly it. As of today, if someone says something "inappropriate" to another employee, they either get a warning or get booted right away depending on the severity. Nobody's digging into whether this person is actually on the spectrum, unless they had given clear signs in the past to justify it. You conform, or you're out.

However, once the company is making an explicit effort to be welcoming and inclusive to employees with a neurodiverse background, what do you choose to prioritize in that kind of stallmate?
"Racial disharmony" is clearly the spirit of the law and not the letter of the law. Of course you can legislate against racial disharmony: in the US, race is a protected class.

from the article:

We are looking at a new workplace climate, largely due to demands of Millennials and Gen Z’ers for work and life environments that are very different from traditional ones. Here are their important values that contribute to this new concept of work:

1. These generations want authentic eco-friendly lifestyles

2. They want quality of life based upon experiences, not things

3. Many believe that “living off the grid” is a valuable pursuit

4. The majority wants to sustain a healthy work/life balance and have flexible work hours.

None of these values are fully satisfied by those “big city lights.”

p.s. while the conclusion is not solid; values mentioned would probably appeal to many (myself included).
Interesting. It's pretty insulting (of those countries, and Microsoft in this instance).

If they keep it really simple, they just charge at a really low rate as long as there’s some wind and throw away the rest of the power.

I certainly have my own data point. When my kids are reading, they stumble very badly over every hyphen.

I think it is long past time to agree that hyphens were always a very bad idea, along with mucking up the font designer's intended kerning. There is nothing wrong with ragged right text.

For best readability, we should prefer to break lines such that we avoid breaking up significant logical parts of text. If reasonably avoidable, don't break: clause, phrase, sentence, quotation, etc.
He's referring to Amazon marketplace. Providing a platform for third parties isn't done by traditional retailers.
My opinion is that all general programmers have the skills necessary to be a "Full-Stack Developer". For me it's just being able to deal with databases and not really minding particularly much what kind of programming systems you are working on.

On the contrary, there are people who specialise in specific things. So you might specialise in database issues and want to work primarily on the back end. Or you might specialise in UX, etc and want to specialise in the front end. Some very junior people have only been exposed to programming in very limited situations (for example writing some javascript and knocking up some HTML) and may want to advertise that this is what they are comfortable with for now, so may call themselves a "Frontend developer"

Some hiring managers/companies believe that there is a class of programmer who can do "simple" things and take the load off the general programmer. They feel they can hire this class of programmer and save money. My experience is that this doesn't ever work out. It's fine to hire junior people who become full stack developers eventually, but hiring someone who lacks the ability/interest to take it further usually costs more in productivity than they save in salary. I really don't like this idea of trying to hire "Frontend developers" as a kind of "lesser programmer" (as opposed to specialists programmers who just want to concentrate on UX).

The TL;DR: "Full Stack" just means "programmer" in my books.

I just checked my tax bill. I live in Cupertino, one of the highest cost areas in the state, and even including all special assessments and fees, my bill is 1.34%. But here's the problem: It's 1.34% of my base rate. I've lived here for 10 years. Using Zillow as a guide, my real tax rate is 0.56% thanks to Prop 13.

My neighbor, who has owned their house for 35+ years, is paying 0.08% on a house worth just slightly less than mine. And more than 1/2 of that is special assessments.

That's the problem with California property tax. We are all totally disincentivized to move or the encourage a drop in our property values, since eventually we want to sell it for top dollar and retire out of state.

Minorities are always at the mercy of the majority opinion, no 'rights' or whatever is going to change that.
I have been a product manager for a decade now, both in established firms and startups. From my experience, startups need to have the founder and engineering leader in lockstep, and the experience to productize the vision. PM role in a startup is more about wearing multiple hats. If you do not have a solid engineering leader and right engineering experience to build the product, PM job is simply not worth staying.

In contrast, PM leadership role becomes crucial in an established product, or even a startup entering into the growth trajectory.

PM responsibilities vary wildly. Being able to sell, build relationship, be at the right place at the right time etc. decides your success more than your inbound skills like product requirements, planning etc.

I would encourage everybody who was taken aback by the shooting to read the manifesto, if you are legally allowed to. It helped me better understand this groundswell of overt racism we've seen in the last few years and, by an inverse reading of it, provided some strategies on how we might resist it.

If you're there type of person that reads this manifesto and thinks, "yes I agree with this and I should do what it says" then you'd also react the same way to Mein Kampf and you're already a violent racist. These writings provide really valuable insights into what drives these abhorrent political movements and how to counteract them. They don't go away if you close your eyes.

> absolutely untrue. in the beginning, Amazon was not required to collect sales taxes

You are correct in that Amazon wasn't required to collect sales tax. What you are omitting is that the buyer was supposed to submit the sales tax. Of course, no buyer ever did so.

So, what Amazon did was aid and abet tax fraud on a massive scale that effectively gave them an 8-10% discount on everything they sold until legislation caught up.

This absolutely murdered my favorite local technical bookstores. I'm sure other people have other stores that they know took a beating from that.
