The issue with that at the time was that Microsoft was using temps to avoid paying payroll taxes. Ironically the IRS wised up to this tactic because of just how good Microsoft was treating their temps, i.e. the same as regular employees.

Now the issue is a company is using temps to hold down the market rate for salary. Less about tax avoidance, and more about wage suppression. Of course it’s also a valid argument to say the Supreme Court decision at the time made it more likely for companies to choose this route.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Full Stack Developer in the USA?
Earning $50,000 per year is not poor. You can live fine on that. You can even buy all those cars on that. You can buy a house on that. What you can't do is feed 12 children on that. Also, don't even think about San Francisco or Manhattan.

I know this because I've checked the numbers. I haven't needed to check WIC, so I don't know that one, but I do know that it costs about $48,000 to feed a family with 12 kids. That is for a mid-range supermarket with modest bargain hunting. One could try harder, really reducing the food quality, but it won't be cheap.

It isn't at all normal for any income segment of the population to have 12 kids, and arguably that is a choice. Putting huge families aside, it is clear that 40% being "poor" is a choice. They aren't all poor. Most of them just can't budget well.
This looks like W3C capitulating:

> WHATWG maintains the HTML and DOM Living Standards

Which is understandable, since all of the main implementers of HTML are active in WHATWG, not so much W3C.

Biggest challenge for our planet, yet almost nobody is talking about it. IMHO it is just ridiculous to attribute famines to a 1 degree temperature rise, while at the same time ignoring the fact that due to population growth the available land per capita has decreased dramatically within the last few decades.
You're completely missing the point.

The hardware shop of old - most now long gone in the destruction of so many brick and mortar shops - generally sold things that would last years or a lifetime. No thinking was required. You could pretty much shop with brain off, and eyes closed and get decent stuff.

For each of those items, there's probably now 300 replacements on Amazon, and maybe one meets the old quality and life. Many of those aren't even cheaper. Sometimes the one that worked, the original from which all those cheap copies stole, is gone, killed by avalanches of shite. Now there's none at all that work as well as the one that spawned the shite. Thank you Amazon and eBay.

To buy a knife that retains an edge for longer than 20 seconds, or even stainless steel that remains properly stainless in typical kitchen use, or container that handles washing, freezing and maybe a few cycles through the dishwasher requires effort. Effort picking apart hundreds of eBay and Amazon listings selling almost nothing but awful shite. Effort to spend even £2, or you'll inevitably get shite. Effort to find and pay extra for some artisan variant that'll cost a bomb, and might - only might be adequate. Shite has become the normal expected state of things.

I would far rather not buy 20 shite things that I don't feel bad about replacing, in the search for just fucking one that works. Yet very often that's the only option left. Shite in a sea of shite.

The article itself acknowledges that the ratio of contractors to employees at Google isn't out of the ordinary for SV companies and my personal experience is that it isn't unusual for large companies outside of SV. Even in the unfortunate case sited in the article of the contract employee that was sexually harassed once a complaint was filed Google fired the FTE responsible for the harassment and negotiated a settlement with the contract employee.

So my question is why was the article written? If it were to highlight the use of contract employees vs FTEs, why write it just about Google when it is an issue affecting the workforce across industries? Why throw out the case of the harassed employee but leave the information that Google fired the harasser when a complaint was filed until much further in the article when many readers will have stopped reading? This article strikes me as a Google hit piece.

I suspect that a large portion of the web is completely useless if you are still trying to use those browsers now.

Sounds like a recognition of WHATWG as the master, with W3C becoming more of a publishing / vetting organization for snapshots of the standard?

> Sending materials to Earth will cost as much as sending them into space, as the materials must land safely and be recovered as efficiently as possible.

that's not true because the journey from space to earth has an aerobrake option, but the journey up requires a rocket with a certain amount of energy per kg you want to send.

In a large scale operation I think you could send stuff down relatively cheaply. A lot of effort would go into making a really mass-efficient reentry vehicle.

Another thing that would probably end up happening is a reentry bolo - a spinning tether that would subtract a huge amount of velocity from things going down.

Yoshinoya is junk food.

The OP isn’t being literal, but the point is correct: Yoshinoya seems great if you’re a tourist and you’ve had it once or twice in your life. But if you live there you begin to associate it with missed trains and late-night binge drinking. I had to be pretty wasted to eat gyuudon - even an old onigiri from a sketchy conbini was preferable.

Are there people who eat there regularly? Sure. There are people who eat Burger King every day, too.

The OP’s broader point about Tokyo not being a magical 24/7 wonderland is extremely well-taken. Tourists spend some
time in Shibuya or Shinjuku and extrapolate incorrectly. Hell...even Shinjuku can be a hard place to get a good bite at 3am on a weekday night. Most places there close shortly after the last train (~midnight).

Lower paychecks (75-80% of hourly rate of full-time workers), little to no benefits (like healthcare coverage), harder to keep track of for taxation purposes, harder to object to inhumane conditions like exploitative working hours or sexual harassment (since you're seen as a "guest" instead of an employee, complaining to the HR will usually result in you simply being discarded and replaced by someone else who won't complain) etc.

I have two conflicting thoughts about this:

1) I controversially think the world is currently underpopulated. Yes, as a species we need to get our pollution and resource management under control, but we need to do that at any population size. Once pollution and water is properly handled with technology, there should be enough landmass to handle 20B+ people. That's 10 billion extra potential scientists and artists to propel our species forward.

2) I am terrified that the idea that populations stabilize once a certain level of development and women's education is reached is false and not culturally universal. It seems like a very important untested assumption. If it isn't true, and we continue to see exponential population growth in developed second world countries but not in first world countries, I think that the disruption to the status quo and fear of aggression could lead to massive global wars of the kind we've never seen before.

You'll have to take my word!

Manufactum is not a random online retailer. They have been around for some time, and have a certain reputation around here. They have been selling things from a paper catalog before the internet got popular. They actually still have paper catalogs, and reading them is a wonderful pastime. (I don't really use the website much, unless I am looking for something specific)

But even if you don't trust me, at least they have very detailed descriptions and high resolution photographs of the products on their site.

And if you order something, and you end up not liking it, you can always return it (eg. for a leather bag it's hard to judge from a photograph if you like it or not).

W3C will now publish a Recommendation instead of a "version" as such. The Recommendation will be from a "Review Draft" published by WHATWG, this draft will then go through the W3C process (Candidate Recommendation → Proposed Recommendation → Recommendation).

I had a summer job picking raspberries on the Isle of Man. It was hard, boring, work. I left after only a few weeks, and got my first programming job (the island had a thriving offshore finance industry and no Manx coders).

So I'm ambivalent about this. On the one hand, awesome that yet another crappy job is being automated. On the other hand, that job literally saved my life - I was homeless and struggling until that opportunity came along, and it lead on to a career that has kept me secure ever since.

How do we replace the crappy low-skilled, low-paying jobs that we're automating, but that also allow people to stay alive while they sort themselves out?
I've found as a graduate student that lots of things I've wanted access to are out of print, and there's been no digitisation other than bad scans that you can only access through LibGen and which I end up printing out anyway.

Journal access is also a pain - digital subscriptions are amazing, but my University is not subscribed to some journals I need access to, or they only have a subscription for papers after a certain date, which is when they stopped buying the print copy.
This reminds me of Robert Sapolsky's lectures, brilliant and easy to find on youtube, where he mentions the most optimal or successful form of communication between parties where you may have miscommunication or misunderstanding is generally tit-for-tat with some amount of forgiveness. Seems analogous to various digital communication protocols where you use parity bits and if an error occurs, you say 'ok, that didn't compute well' and just try to initialize again.
Thanks for this and the other links. Does make me wonder whether nepotism or brand recognition plays the bigger role. The more things are accounted for by the latter, the more I want to chalk this up to democracies getting the leaders they deserve, no more.

Mercantilism was also a pretty good economic system until it wasn't. It's not sound reasoning to say that capitalism had a net positive impact (at least in North America and Europe) through much of the 19th and 20th centuries and conclude that it is and will forever be the optimal system.

I think there's a compelling argument to be made that in this century, with forces like globalization and automation removing a lot of the leverage which labor had, modern capitalism is going to result in a net negative economic state for a vast majority of people.
Overpopulation is such a hard conversation to have. I think a lot of people get scared that even talking about it will lead to calls for a genocide and therefore want to not even begin talking about it.

Yes, this. A lot (based on my last interaction 2 yrs ago) of Google's SDKs are convenience methods that hide gRPC behind. If you use a language that doesn't have an SDK, you can mostly connect directly to their rpc endpoints.
Yes, that's almost in my lifetime.
The only thing blocking WebRTC gets you is that it hides which subnet you are on, right? As in, an attacker can still just enumerate all of the common ones (10.0.0.0/24, 192.168.0.1/24, and like 5 others) and get the same results as with WebRTC enabled. So blocking it really just slightly increases the obscurity, but not really the security.
I think of it like inventing. It's not completely analogous but do you want to learn to invent something? No, right? Because you think of something to invent first and then get to learning how to create it. I've heard it's easier to get into coding if going this route, otherwise it can seem unmotivating if you're just doing it on your own.

In practice I found new certs being available for download from CT logs hours after they've been issued. This is more than enough to perform an attack.
