Existing reporting requirements does not ensure markets' integrity and fairness in much of the world, US included.

I think, to some extend, the presumption of truthfulness in financial reporting is even giving edge to bad players, and penalises "boring" businesses that have nothing to show but dividends, and a track record paying them.

It is much easier to "pool the wool" with some fancy paid off analyst reporting for a tech business with dubious repute than say a concrete factory.

Eh, the outsourcing, moving and selling have been very deliberate in many countries. It isn't limited to manufacturing. You can go to smaller European country and see the fall of social democracy, how taxes have been lowered and housing is more expensive. I guess you can say globalization affected culture that then lead to the changes, but it is still culture no less. Most countries aren't even trying to keep their industries (with a few exceptions).
Wherever you stand in the union issue, you have to take exception with the dishonest reporting about Delta’s profitability. Airlines are enjoying profits recently because of low fuel prices over the last five years. But nobody mentions that Delta went through bankruptcy in 2007. Airlines aren’t a long-term profitable business that can support inflexible union arrangements. A spike in fuel prices can quickly put them in the red.

Java-the-language is a fairly crummy thing to work with, it’s Java-the-ecosystem that’s genuinely good — the JVM, the tooling, etc etc. The quality of IDEs available is definitely a very large component of that.

Because Wasm could be used mobile as a native first class citizen, not limited to running within a browser or some browser view. And then Wasm code can be shared between multiple environments including mobile, browser, edge (CloudFlare workers), backend (multiple Wasm runtimes are emerging right now and some of then are very performant). And then one would not be limited to Swift but could use any language that compiles to Wasm. So code reuse would effectively skyrocket.

Wasm can be used in every corner of computing spectrum. It doesn't mean it's some perfect tool to solve all problems but it can lead to interesting places and those are worth exploring.

Retail is left with "the scraps" because it is much riskier to invest early on. Companies that fail early aren't heard about as much, because Joe Average's pension plan hasn't invested in them, but are still plentiful. And maybe Joe Average's pension plan shouldn't be investing in what are effectively PE-stage firms.

I don't know if I'm right about this, but it seems such an exchange might contribute to something like 2008. Then, it was the common man investing in over-heated real estate; now, it could become the common man investing in over-heated tech.

I feel like those who work in tech often forget that it can fail, have cycles of boom and bust, etc. like any other industry.

Of course, I do think it can serve a useful purpose, but there is reason early-stage, private investment is restricted to qualified investors.

Give me a break, some people are pro union, companies are not. pro union folks campaign to get folks to join, companies campaign to stop that. Delta didn't say anything along the line of if you join you will loose your job or some subtle threat. They said spending $700 on video game sounds more fun than union dues. I personally think it's funny. If anyone is going to be swayed by that, then that person probably shouldn't join a union or can just as easily be swayed by a union with something silly and more catchy than Delta's campaign.

You always charge hourly, it’s just that you don’t always expose it as such. All of your costs are either driven by time (rent, salry and benefits, SaaS costs, calories per day) or amortizable over expected number of billing hours. You need to know your total loaded cost per billable employee, because you’ll need to charge more than that for an hour of their time. In the end, fixed-price contracts are just really crappy T&M contracts from an estimations perspective.

No, if you only merge changes then you're just summarizing.

The true problems begin once you start creating commits that represent repository trees that you never tested or reviewed, for example by editing past commits (invalidating any testing you've done of commits after that point), deleting past commits (aside from squashing an unbroken sequence of commits, or deleting them if the squash would result in a no-op), reordering commits, or rebasing commits.

It's an internal project? What is the uptime and DR requirements for it?

It might not be worth dockerizing if you don't need to scale out. Is it a traditional project that can just scale to larger machines as needed? Can you just run on multiple static environments for development?

If you are making something that needs to autoscale on kuberneties, do real CI (not just continuous build), etc, then sure.

> Perhaps many animals are more equal in "raw intelligence" than we would think

I think the incredible difficulty of something like machine vision versus, say, boolean logic says a lot about how similar most animals, and especially mammals, are. We consider the parts of our intellect that are most logical to be what distinguishes us from the other species. But it turns out that kind of stuff is really simple, computationally. Computers have been better at it than humans since basically as soon as computers were invented. Whereas all the stuff we have in common with most other animals turns out to be really fucking hard.
i bought mine on amazon, it shipped from china. from what i understand, i got extremely lucky in that only somewhere near 50% of cats seem to like it. this is the review that i learned about how many cats like it vs not liking it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mS-F4k4TnY and mine (hers) is similar (but blue) -- i had the backpack before i saw the review.

she doesn't like to ride in cars, and is wary of elevators, but loves going to the pub. she's happy to sit in it with the backpack open when she's not at home, and simply purrs and rubs her face/head on my hands when i reach in to pet her.

one warning: it is an attraction, she has had many people wishing to take photos of her ... thankfully she loves getting her picture taken.

People shouldn't be swayed by that, and in my opinion, Delta shouldn't put it out there, either. Delta is in a much stronger position than most of its employees.

The fact Delta makes an appeal on that level is disappointing to me.

There's a common sentiment that fools should be taken as such. I don't subscribe to it, for the most part. I think that's brutish business.

For some reason many of them don't have much presence outside of China. (It is obviously not very hard to find Chinese branded products in China). Maybe the overhead or the cultural gap is just too big at the moment. I will however be interesting if they start selling internationally at scale.

I don't see any aggression. What is "aggressive" about pointing out that for the cost of paying a union boss to negotiate for you, you could buy a video game system instead?

Maybe more to the point, what's wrong with a company discouraging employees from participating in a union? It's against the company's interests. They have a right to try to persuade their employees with posters, just as the union has a right to promote their position with their own propaganda.
> Local taxi companies are more expensive than Uber and inconvenient

Uber essentially sets money on fire in order to make the rides cheaper than alternatives, but that will eventually end. I've got some bad news for you about what happens to prices when that occurs.

Of course that is the ultimate goal of Uber, and all ride sharing systems: to destroy any and all local public transit and competitors, no matter the cost, by setting obscene amounts of money on fire and then, when it's all said and done, they get to be the only name in town and price however high they want.

(Side note, but it's going to be legitimately hilarious when Uber re-introduces the concept of "buses" and tech nerds here drop their jaws in disbelief at how amazing it is.)

> Public transport is barely used.

I've got some bad news about places outside of the US (and even many places inside the US).

> Uber is providing a subsidized public service while employing a lot of people.

No they don't; they actually do not do either of those things. Uber isn't a "public service", by definition, that is, unless words simply don't mean anything anymore. It's a business designed to make money; the fact that you confuse these two proves Uber's marketing is working on you, not that it's actually true in any meaningful way.

They also don't actually "employ" any of their drivers, the largest part of their "work force", and they have argued that position in court as well in order to avoid paying benefits, etc for their drivers. And of course, their inevitable goal is to just move to autonomous cars as far as possible, meaning those "employees" (who aren't actually legally defined as such) will eventually get kicked out of the whole system, if they can get there. Of course, once that happens, the tune will go from "uber employs a lot of people, and therefore they're good" to "why did you ever expect uber would keep employing you? just get another job" over night, without a hint of self-reflection at all.
It’s actually a reasonable estimate of salary + benefits + operating costs, adjusted to cover non-billable hours, with a small profit on top. I’d want a more formal cost accounting model, but as a rule of thumb it’s pretty solid. People cost a lot more than their salary.
