Old stock city quarters are almost universally mixed use here, commercial on the ground level and residential above. Living on ground level, with people passing by right in front of your window isn't exactly popular so those shops are increasingly staying empty and it's not just a result of the internet, but also the move of daily goods from small shops to supermarkets (of being size, smaller ones usually still available within walking distance). Unfortunately, some shops get converted to residential (it's higher rent now that the old guard of shops has mostly disappeared), others to small offices, but the most interesting are those extremely specialist ones that can only exist backed by online distribution. And it's not even limited to big places like Berlin. Realistically, a specialist store would be considered out of range if it is not in the surrounding quarters of either work or home, unless need is really pressing, so theres a bit of diminishing returns going on between larger city size and viability of specialist stores.

In Nuremberg, a city much smaller than Berlin I had a model rocket shop (strictly model rockets, absolutely no branching out into RC planes or fireworks) in walking distance, and one specialising into some specific subset off fishing lures, in a region completely lacking any fishing culture (the carp farms that are the traditional fish supply are harvested with partial draining and nets). A sub-kilometer move later, in a quarter developed mostly with residential ground floors, nothing like this exists. Still some empty shop fronts, but maybe your enough to drive commercial rents down to the point where "exotic online specialist with occasional walk-in business" becomes viable.

Slang (https://slangapp.com) | Boston, MA & Bogotá, Colombia | Onsite or Remote

→ Software Engineers, Product Managers (PMs), Product Designers

Slang started as an MIT research project on using AI and NLP to make learning a new language as efficient as possible, and has grown into an adaptive English-learning platform that offers an unprecedented variety of specialized English courses and proficiency tests in 50+ industries like Law, Oil & Gas, and Aviation. With just a small team, we’ve already created the largest professional-English offering in the world, and now we’re scaling up to release 1,000 more courses over the next three years.

Learners use our learning apps to submit millions of language activities per week, managers use our LMS to visualize the progress of their students or employees, and our Content team uses our internal tools to provide expert curation and refine the output of our models.

We just closed a round and are scaling up our 6-person Product team to grow those applications. We're looking for engineers, product managers, and product designers. Our backend combines a Ruby/Rails API with a data-intensive Java stack, and our frontends include a React/TypeScript/MobX web UI and Cordova-based hybrid mobile apps.

We’re talking about management all through the layers of the company. Vast majority of managers don’t have so much wealth that they are indifferent to the many years of future earnings.
Cross cultural humanitarian bonding is more important than any medical or technological breakthrough. It might be nice if regular people bonded over rockets, but they don't. They bond through sports. Because of this, international sports competitions go a long way towards softening some of humanity's worst tendencies: racism, sexism, and xenophobia.
Sounds more like an anecdote than a strawman.
When I was attending grad school, the star professor was this guy who had defected from communist Hungary. He had an office twice as big as the department head's office, and I suspect he might even have been paid as much or more. The guy was awesome, though. I don't think anyone begrudged him any of that.

"After a quick setup, you’ll receive a local phone number. CallJoy will immediately begin blocking unwanted spam calls so you receive the calls that matter—the ones from customers"

I think I agree with you - I'm just trying to understand the other perspective from someone that seems to think not having exceptions is an improvement. I've mostly worked using java and go and to be honest I think I prefer exceptions because you should (almost) always check error codes in go anyway, and if you forget, you just made debugging much more difficult.
Corporations are frequently enough charged with crimes to necessitate the existence of corporate lawyers (i.e. you). The discussion of whether corporate manslaughter should be a thing was never one that hinged on whether it would be unconstitutional...

Just generally, I'm not buying this

> After all, you can't charge a "person" with a crime if that "person" isn't there to defend themselves.

especially since people can be charged with crimes for failing to show up for court dates and, while I'm not certain about the US legal system, plenty of war crime charges have been formally with the charged party in absentia.

And sure enough their brains are more advanced and capable than our current computers, especially the ones that easily fit in a car. Even human vision (for the purpose of driving) is more advanced than cameras you might see in a car.

And you're oversimplifying a little, it goes far beyond just avoiding obstacles. You need to be able to anticipate, learn and adapt to completely new situations, understand consequences and things that aren't strictly related to what happens on the road. That's something even most mammals fail to do. Our computers are not there and they won't be for some time.
I think there is a difference between SA and CN money. SA is mainly looking for returns on investment (as they see petroleum’s long term viability diminish); they may seek some influence/favors but that is secondary. CN is mainly in it not for returns on investment (they have hot properties themselves), but rather they see it as an incubator and foundry for ideas and technical know-how they can leverage. One may have geopolitical implications in terms of optics, the other has bigger implications in terms of economic vitality and projection of power.

In Amsterdam we are hiring backend software engineers with solid experience in building, running and scaling out cloud-native microservices (preferably in Ruby and/or Go). We value a hacker mindset, clean coding and a natural aversion to complexity (or if you're a glass-half-empty person: an affinity for simplicity).

You have a strong technical background and are able to contribute to planning and technical design, and believe in building teams and practices that scale. You can motivate and instill a strong sense of ownership and pride in your team.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you’ve used so far.

We have hired many people from these threads, including myself. If you have questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to these roles

> 5) LA is capable of holding an Olympics next year, if necessary. The only other city with sufficient facilities to hold an event of this magnitude on such short notice is London, which has maintained most of its facilities from the 2012 Games.

Every city is capable of hosting the Olympics without subsidizing the efforts of the organizers. It's simple: Charge more for tickets to attend, charge for press passes.

If it was profitable, the Olympic committee would be funding the events themselves, not asking for large handouts from municipalities.
Definitely.

And when one knows it won't work?

Say that, say why, decline and cite cost to make it a success exceeds client expectations and or ability to pay.

When they do it on the cheap, fail hard, know that cost exceeds just doing the right work with the right materials every time.

When they come back, quote them with confidence.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson Sacked over Huawei Leak
One of the projects I'm on at work just switched several repos into a mono repo. The issue was that there were often related changes to the Database, UI, Configuration and API projects... Those four in particular were almost always released for 2-3 of them for a given feature. Coordinating releases to dev/qa servers even was a bit of a pain. Merging them removed most of this.

There are several smaller/micro services that are still separate, however. They're generally less effected by the coordination of db/api/ui changes.
