Unless I'm missing something, Hasura requires much less effort on the back-end than what you're describing with Absinthe. Hasura runs in its own process (or processes; it doesn't have any state of its own so it can scale), and it can deliver events to your back-end via webhooks, so it doesn't matter what language you use for the back-end.

As for file uploads, it seems to me that the best way to do that is to have the front-end upload directly to your cloud storage service. Both S3 and Google Cloud Storage have a feature called signed URLs, where your back-end can create an object, grant the necessary permission, then give the client a temporary URL to upload to that object. Then just store the URL in the database.
You are correct about the feminist motivation, but did you read the review in Nature that really prompted Cahill's response? It is very much a feminist flat earth moment, and is as anti-science and politically motivated as much of the anti-climate science.

modern neuroscientists have identified no decisive, category-defining differences between the brains of men and women.

Has it ever occurred to people who are so anti-advertising that the reason we live in an ad driven world is because that’s what consumers want over just paying fair value for things?

Otherwise why would a paid alternative to gmail not exist? In fact, if people actually wanted that, why would Google not sell it to them? Google's accounts do not care if 10 cents comes from ads or from your pocketbook.

Here is a link describing the categories. They are divided up into AMI (any mental illness) and SMI (serious mental illness).

"AJIT is currently able to run one instruction per clock cycle and at speeds between 70-120MHz, but they expect to achieve 400-500 MHz clock speeds in the next upgrade. It's built on a 180nm technology, though that will eventually be bumped up to 65nm."

I agree with this. In addition, Larry Cahill puts up some ridiculous strawmen: "But also stay away from the ideologues on the other side, who unfortunately are given a voice by editors at places like the New York Times, who know nothing about the issue except that they’re afraid of appearing to be on the wrong side of it.", "It’s just that I’ve been drawn into this now by having to deal with this small but ridiculous vocal group of ideologues, and I feel an obligation to not let them get away with utterly misrepresenting or even vilifying my science."

He is misrepresenting the Feminist's position just as much as he is claiming that they are misrepresenting science. Feminism has become the right's new Bogeyman.
Maybe my sarcasm detector is failing, but:

Java is the most used programming language in the world (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/)

It not only powers all kinds of desktop things, it is foundational to Android, which currently powers ~85% of all mobile devices.

How can you get more penetration than "most used programming language" and "foundational to the largest mobile OS"? I mean there isn't even a category that fully encompasses the degree of dominance of Java. The next step, I assume, would be to rename "Programming" (all of it) to "Java".
This is a solid guide but might benefit from explaining why these parameters can be important. I bet if you asked 100 people who considered themselves professional Linux sysadmins to explain softirq squeeze, you will get blank stares. But squeeze is in fact an important indicator of system overload, despite its complete obscurity.
Interesting discussion. Certainly, some of this fails simply by not agreeing upon what is ethical. For instance, people can claim that blocking ads is an unethical action, but if the ads themselves are attempting illegal things (and some are), then blocking ads has a quite legitimate and useful purpose.
Just tried it again:

> It looks like you need to pay first to instantly access your TurboTax returns

> For instructions on how to access your returns, click help in the upper right hand corner of your screen and type “Prior Year Return” into the search box

and when I do that:

The fact that it makes you search their help system for the answer to your question is just the icing on the cake...
TaxAct has one dark pattern where they slide in a question in the middle where they basically ask your consent for marketing stuff to you. It's confusingly worded in a way to make it sound like you'll unlock additional savings.

But the good part is you can decline that, and the rest of the time they stick to the task at hand. Now they do have separate pricing tiers based on your needs but I don't find that dishonest. In fact they have a quick selector to help you identify which tier you need to get based on your situation.

No. My company just migrated from Skype to Teams and it's worse. Half the time, scheduled meetings don't connect. Mute button will randomly not work. Entire UI/UX is poorly thought out. Beyond that, I think Teams is trying to do everything at once, chat, fileshare, boards, etc. Without doing one thing well and expanding from there.
The conundrum for modern feminists is that we are becoming more aware that we are becoming more aware of the power of genetic outcomes. So when equality of treatment and opportunity doesn't get all the way to equality of outcome, then more radical ideas become tempting, and science can get tossed out the window.

I'm well aware that in some cases, bigger/better outcomes accrue to particular people/groups in ways that are unfair, unjust or corrupt.

I'm completely in favour of efforts and systems that seek to overcome said unfairness/injustice/corruption.

At the same time, in a well-functioning economy, higher levels of responsibility, expectation and pressure will accrue to those with higher levels of capability in any given domain. E.g., the more capable and experienced the surgeon, the more difficult and risky the surgical operations that will be assigned to them.

With that increased level of responsibility, expectation and pressure, will come greater benefits - whether financial remuneration, social/political status/influence, resources to manage/invest/allocate, etc. Though that also carries with it even more responsibility, expectation and pressure.

Of course, plenty of people are content to live a modest life, with neither high levels of responsibility, expectation and pressure, nor high levels of financial remuneration, social/political status/influence etc.

That's a perfectly reasonable trade-off.

I'm interested in your take on how the reality should be any different to this.

That is, what's your suggestion for how an economy can function well, in which everyone ends up with the same level of remuneration, status and influence, whilst making vastly different contributions to society and living with vastly different levels of responsibility, expectation and pressure?

W-2 would be $150,000/year, if you are living in a popular metro area and you are a senior engineer you should look to increase the salary, insure you are also getting RSUs, signing bonus, benefits, and more if possible.

1099 would be $300,000/year minimum ($144.23/hour, round this up to $145 an hour - $301,600/year or $150 an hour - $312,000/year)as you will need to pay for you own benefits.

These benefits could be vacation, sick days, equipment (you can expense this on your taxes), travel (you can charge (you client for driving to and from work), pay quarterly taxes, hire sub-contractors, pay medical, vision, dental, life insurance, 401k, etc. Though, you would normally be better off running your own business (LLC or Inc) to take full advantage of the benefits you would get as a business vs an individual (more tax and business benefits that do not exist for an individual).

You will also need to work on getting additional customers to insure you do not have only one customer in case they pay late, go out of business, "want to change direction", etc. to decrease your risk. Though, in an ideal situation you would have employees or contractors that you could contract out work to, while you focus on gaining more business and/or building products and services (upgrade from the hourly rate situation), and make money off the passive income of your workers which would enable you to pay them more over time and grow your business to stay competitive.

I had my credit card number stolen and the thief used it to subscribe to Netflix. 16 times. That's right, they created 16 Netflix accounts in one day using the same credit card details. Apparently a basic sanity check like "Are we already billing this card?" is not implemented at all, and Netflix support admitted as much.

I think it's in the merchants' interest to proceed with lackluster sanity checks, knowing that some erroneous charges will make it through. It's got to be a multimillion dollar business collecting fees from the unaware, the scammed, and the dead.

But if you're lived in China and used JD or other delivery companies, you have to agree that the delivery fee is insanely cheap for same-day delivery, and that this gig work seems on borrowed time, the costs are going to increase, and the question is, will JD be able to keep this up?

Amazon is using proven multi-decade logistics companies for delivery, so it's pretty certain their internal cost structures are rational.

How much are the JD trucks and delivery guys being paid? How above board is JD's finances? What are they getting from the governments? Perhaps it's just another WebVAN.

These things are never quite clear in China, transparency and public audits are not present.

Not in this case. Java failed because it sucked from a technical point of view. It traded better 'OO purity' in exchange for worse security, portability and performance.

A condo is an apartment unit in a building where units can be owned individually. Upzoning means changing the zoning laws of the neighbourhood where the property is situated to allow taller buildings with more square footage of living space.

Many neighbourhoods have zoning laws that impose height limits that prevent high-density developments, and this constrains growth in the supply of housing.

Supply side is the "if you build it, they will come" idea. It's the idea that supply has a way of generating demand just like demand has a way of generating supply. Take smartphones. By making smartphones, an entire market was created. The supply created the market and all the apps, etc.

I may be mistaken but I think my economics professor said that supply side economics is the dominant economic theory. Rather than the demand side, it is the supply side that's moving the economy. The supply side tells you what to like, what you need and what to buy. But as all things, it's a bit of an oversimplification.
In NY, regulations went into effect in 1980s that required all new apartments to be >400 square feet.

You can live in a smaller space (I spent a year in a <200 sq ft studio) but as far as I know you can't build one nowadays.

I remember seeing talk about micro apartments in NY but I think they did a pilot program where they exempted a builder from the regulation rather than repealing it.
This is a common criticism but I don't think it checks out:

Medicare is funded by payroll taxes. So it already works as in "the young pay for the old". Its true insurances have incentives not to have diseases before patients to go medicare (for example, if they knew something has high risks at old age, but low risks before, they have an incentive to do that). Working in the industry I have yet to see an example of this, so I think its a greatly exaggerated claim.

OTOH, hospitals are forced to take medicare patients, and the reimbursement rate is up to half of what regular insurance pays. It is often below cost of care. This implies a cross-subsidy from private to medicare.

I think the final math on this topic is ambiguous. I would not make a claim either way without some stronger analysis.

In western society there is a lot of value in independence in general. But a lot could be gained/saved from grandparents being able to help take care of children, and be able to get by on their retirement pension/savings much easier.

Traditionally, prison labor is considered distinct from slavery for the same reason that prison is considered distinct from kidnapping and forced confinement: that it reflects just punishment for which someone is duly convicted. Whether that actually applies to most people in prison today is certainly up for debate, but to tell you'd mostly need to look at the judicial system (or society at large), not at the work camp.
