There is for sure enough opportunities to move around, but it will all depend on how well you match what the company needs (Had 3 perm positions in last 2 years in London, every move increasing my take home)

Even right now the publicly owned bank that I work for is constantly hiring mid+ developers and in two weeks we get like <10 applications for some positions.

So I'm guessing it would heavily depend what kind of company are you targeting.

From experience I can say that we refuse experienced devs only if they want to do a career shift while getting the same or higher wage without showing that they actually did some learning before applying (example would be moving from backend Java/c# stack to Frontend JS role). Remember, if taking a chance, it's cheaper to take on a promising junior to train than an experienced dev that puts no effort upfront.

Are you looking to go straight to £70k+? Then better have the experience / match the stack / have the personality and sell yourself (I kinda feel that I got my current role more through selling myself than my CV, since I got the offer after ~1.5h talk with a few higher-ups, no coding, whiteboards or anything)

Are you a senior dev who's willing to work in a new stack on an experienced mid wage? Then you shouldn't have a lot of problems finding you next role.

Every time I have seen one of those signs, it has contained provisions to describe manners, dress, or behavior common in poor people or minorities; it seems to me a way to codify and formalize discrimination against those groups.

> But the labour goes towards a government program.

I agree. I'm not saying government programs are useless. The person you replied to was simply saying that we only have $62,000 a year to spend on each person (and that's all of the resources in the entire economy) and it sounded to me like you were disagreeing and saying we had more than that.

> GDP measures value added to an economy.

I agree.

> If the price of a product drops, it adds less value.

By what definition of value? Are you just defining value as being equal to the price? In a utility-based sense, I think GDP does measure value added to the economy.

> We don't account for all clerical work that has been automated away in the GDP figures anymore because it's essentially free.

In some cases, the GDP might not change if the cost of goods has only gone down, sure, but GDP is a useful figure only relative to the cost of goods. This is how we compare the GDPs of different countries with different currencies.

I got a speeding in a school zone ticket and fought it because the points for that offence are high. The sign gave times the speed limit was in effect but I missed it and there were no other cars on the road so I didn't have that as a reference either.

I think it's important to note that the measure of "patience" is this survey question:

"Please consider the following: Would you rather receive 100

posed with x varying between 103 and 212. Seems a hell of a lot more meaningful than the "marshmallow experiment" that I was afraid the article would be about but also like it would very obviously skew towards labeling rich people as more patient.

The linked article is pretty devoid of meaningful content but the survey is relatively interesting.

While I agree and personally do get frustrated with poor performance web apps... there are few companies that let you focus on performance over features. Throughout my (admittedly short) career all I've heard is "we can optimize later", "product is more important", etc.

Which I'm prepared to admit may be true. It's just boring as fuck.

Sure but the statement the original commentor made wasn't that it was "unlikely" for you to be poor. He said "cannot".

What you mention in your comment is logical, but you moved the goalposts by using the word "unlikely". Can and cannot are vastly different words to likely and unlikely.

Put simply, one claims it's impossible to be poor if you do X. The other claims it's possible to be poor but you have a better chance of not being poor if you do X.

It's not windows. If you stop everything from running on startup (which means looking in 6 different places) and your CPU is being cooled well, windows itself can run very smoothly.
So, this is a simple idea not fully thought out. But you’re point is hollow. Democracy has failed many places, do we give up our way of government?

In the context of healthcare, using the current Medicare system as a proxy. Yes, it mostly works. CMS sets prices, generally based on what things should cost with a reasonable margin, and in general Medicare patients are receiving quality care.

Beyond that I don’t have much knowledge. I’m sure you’re referencing some examples of fixed corn prices and how it resulted in shortages or something like that. Which may be valid.

However, I think you could get creative and build some pricing models that were much more effective than a fixed price. Or, the minimum government involved way, would be to simply mandate that payors of all types are billed and pay the same amount for same services. Then the market is responsible for compliance.

Either way, the way to get ahold of healthcare is on price. The only reason Medicare for all has any legs is because Medicare is known for controlling price. But the downside is government becoming the administrator. I’m just saying there’s other ways to focus on price and the government could help through legislation.

So the answer is to make it even more obscure?
I don't think it's deliberate undermining, I think it's more, "people complained that we were breaking standards, so we fixed it by changing the standard."

The Chrome team is almost incapable of reversing course on their decisions. Even when they get massive pushback and enough negative press to effectively force them to reverse course, it's only ever temporary.

"Widespread criticism over a decision? That just means people aren't ready yet, or they're too emotional to think clearly about our position. Give it a couple of months to a year, and they'll all have calmed down enough to realize we're right."

"People are complaining about breaking standards? It's not that our decision was wrong, people are just upset we didn't check all the right boxes and fill out all the right forms before we made it. It's not real criticism, it's just people being legalistic about the standards process. Fine, we'll play that game."

And then they wonder why people automatically assume the worst whenever Chrome devs propose something new.

I think the Ortega government falls far outside the scope of something we can call a state of law, which I qualified my comment with.

I think it's valid to say that governments like these do abuse surveillance, but my problem with this as an argument in these discussions is that it also equally applies to anything else. They abuse the power of police, of the military, of state owned enterprises and anything else, but yet in other nations we still rely on all of these facilities to a large degree.

So I think there should be a distinction between problems intrinstic to surveillance, and bad actors using surveillance as a tool for abuse.
He's a developer who doesn't feel like doing something. It's childish to expect him to do what YOU think he should be doing, isn't it? Why should he? It's his project - he doesn't want to do it, doesn't have to, doesn't owe anyone anything? I don't get this at all. Shifting change in society's attitudes, maybe? It's not enough to take someone's work for free; now there's an obligation that he answers to a higher power - anyone with an internet connection?

The size of these buybacks is quite incredible as they have reduced the Number of Outstanding Shares by 50% in the last 7 years. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/shares-...

I agree that this is stabilizing the stock price. I also think that they are still spending plenty of money on innovation, it's just that they have too much money to know how to spend it appropriately.

The stock is an incredible value (even still) because share repurchases and dividends continue to occur and they continue to make tons of money. And it will benefit from upside when they have another hit. Yes, I am long.
Also there is terrible URL usability with google AMP pages. Google has every reason to do away with URLs as a user tool. I might be going off in the deep-end now, but if there are no URLs, why ever leave google.com at all? AMP is basically an early opt-in of rebranding the internet as google.com. Of course its all being done in the name of security, speed, and data-saving. Truly altruistic motivations.
My only defense is Safari on iOS - the screen is so small, showing the full URL even with the pathname grayed would make the URL seem bloated; at least seeing the real domain is better for security and UX. Can't defend the full URL being hidden by default on desktop, though.
It is a bit tongue in cheek, but giving the top couple of layers some serious skin in the game is the only way to align their interest with safety rather than the next 10-Q.

> So basically, insurance said they would not pay for the clinic this person selected and since they have zero agency they kept going and got the bill that they were told they were going to get.

I can’t figure out exactly what you’re trying to say here. It seems you are trying to find some way to convince yourself that these people deserved to get a $500,000 bill so that you can kid yourself that this could never happen to you. Yes, it’s their fault for failing to fly to another state in the middle of a medical crisis to find an in network provider, in the absence of any clear information regarding treatment costs from from medical staff or the insurance company.

> Did they actually pay the bill? Of course not. They took a credit hit.

We don’t know from the article how much they ended up paying. In any case, taking a credit hit is not a trivial thing. In your earlier comments, for example, you clearly placed a large value on home ownership. It’s difficult to buy a home with bad credit.

Compare that to Slack, or VS Code, which were available on Windows, Mac and Linux almost immediately, all while maintaining feature parity.

I don't use Safari on my MBP for exactly this reason (lack of extensions being another). Apple has always erred on the side of "obscure everything that even remotely reminds users of PCs". The current iPad's marketing slogan is "What's a computer?".

From the first example: "By the time Portillo found out about a small county program that sends health workers to the homes of low-income, bedridden patients, her father had been at home without pain medication for two and a half months. The nurse practitioner who came, spurred by Aquilino’s obvious suffering, rushed to order medication to make him more comfortable. Two days later, when the morphine had barely had a chance to soothe him, he was gone."

There was a program, they didn't use it until the end, he was going to die anyway. He did not die due to lack of medical care.

I'm not going to go through each one, give me your best example.
