There's nothing stopping Apple (or any other app store vendor) from creating a middle ground, by requiring third parties to agree in advance to a strong set of data-handling and privacy rules in order to sell apps in their store. They could even periodically audit those third-party products; failure to live up to the terms the third party agreed to when they published the app would be pretty solid grounds for kicking them out of the store.

That stuff would cut into the planet-size hoard of profit Apple makes off the app store, though, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I wonder if the transition could be so hard for some large installations that they move entire codebases to a different language. I guess not, because if they could do that they’d have moved to python 3.
It definitely doesn't matter, but I recall my bio teacher getting quite pedantic on this point. It's moderately interesting trivia I guess.
>We ask each other “what do you do” because we actually have the socially enforced freedom to choose what the answer to the question is.

No we don't, or at least most people don't. People of disenfranchised communities don't choose to not go to college or get a job in software development. This makes up most people.
I would have said reach-router, as it seems fairly well thought through, is constrained, and was originally an attempt to correct deficiencies in react-router. But it's being merged into the next version of RR.

What anm89 says is on point. All solutions available are awful in their own special ways. If a router solution _is_ needed, and there's no chance you can't just rely on the browser history API, imo stick with RR despite it's major downsides, because at least there is the major benefit of vast community support; all solutions seem fairly shit otherwise (just cross your fingers you don't need to do any React Native work that needs a routing/navigation library cos hoo boy it's a shitshow)
From the sun "“The Government has uncovered no evidence that your client violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems,” Except he had Apple cloud passwords in clear text for all staffers and some reps, he had personal laptops with classified info, he was arrested on charges that looked VERY embarrassing. He got a plea because he stole enough to make that happen. And really, can you not look at the misconduct, the charges, the investigation and see through this: "In his first public statements since the investigation began, Awan told The Post in an interview prior to Tuesday’s hearing that he questions whether the case would have been pursued if he did not have a Pakistani name."? Smollett right there.

You might want to read that again. None of the claims in that WaPo article are actually refuted. WaPo does a good job at telling you what you SHOULD think, but there is no defense of DWS there.

For example, "He wasn't trying to flee [with a last second ticket to Pakistan], see, he bought a round trip ticket!" is some ostrich head in the sand level reasoning.
I agree if you're talking strictly about salaried employees, because you don't get paid for that overtime work. But as a contract developer if I want to work 60 hours each week, instead of 40, to earn an extra 50% when I invoice them at the end of the month, that is my prerogative.

The mere fact that Bloomberg is wealthy proves that he knows best and we should bend to his will. After all, someday when you sell your startup to SoftBank, don’t you want to use your money to improve society and get your way?
I don't think I've ever felt scared about losing a job, though I think it has always been a part of my personality to reject being slotted into some corporate machine and have always had one foot out the door of a job, so to speak.

It kind of describes the Google extended-university-experience thing though. Google employees live in a social ecosystem; you don’t just do Yoga, you do Google Yoga. And so on.

Some subset of people find this gross and creepy but it’s something a lot of young people demonstrably go for.
Eh, depends on what you want to build?

I'm pretty fond of scala and clojure (jvm duh) or elixir (erlang duh), but that's preference at best
I spent maybe 1.5-2 years working on a medium size React app and after taking maybe 6 months off, I came back to it. I started reading about React Hooks and honestly I did not fully understand them. Maybe it's just JS fatigue and me feeling like I'm trying to building a house on quick sand. Everything is always changing...

Recently I built a bolierplate JSON-api web app project in vuejs and golang (previously I was using TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL and Express). I find the terminology around vuejs much more user friendly and it comes with a router and state management built in...I try to avoid using any other JS module. The golang ecosystem is much more stable than nodejs which is a relief....I have a feeling I might just settle on vuejs + golang for all future web apps
Can someone more informed than myself explain if this applies to AirBnB?

I'm a host in Seattle. The city now requires short-term rental operators to register as their own businesses.* If I'm a contractor for AirBnb, this makes sense.

However, if I'm an employee of AirBnb, then the Washington State income tax law would prohibit Seattle from collecting taxes on short-term operators.

Note that 30+ day stays are not* required to register, which doesn't make any sense since you're still operating a business.
And then the glucose is what becomes the building block for cellulose, lignin, etc, right?
> It's been really interesting to me to see how the concept that lying in support of your preferred narrative is the correct way to engage publicly with a problem has evolved over the last few years. It seems like only a few years ago that people who admitted to this strategy were roundly condemned.

I often think of the election of Donald Trump in this sense...in a way, he is showing us crystal clear how our political dialogue, if not our entire perception of reality, is illusory. Who would have thought that someone could run for president largely on a platform of obvious lies and one-dimensional platitudes? Well, now we know.

And rather than the left being shocked into a higher state of consciousness and considering they may need to rethink their overall political strategy, instead it seems they've essentially decided to double down with more of the same theater. I hoped there would have at least been some serious consideration of a strategy consisting of campaigning on the actual truth (to the best of their ability), rather than just "more true".

So many people, particularly those on the left I would say (the right tends to be in their own little world), think politics is based on a battle of facts, when really it is a battle of memes. It doesn't have to be, but someone righteous has to be allowed to make it through the Democratic primaries if we hope to ever move forward in this respect.
This right here. This is my main beef with node. I love js and the ecosystem can be amazing, but just give me something that I can use to focus on the business problems.
You know, kids seem to like alcoholic drinks with sweet flavors as well. Should we get rid of those? How about food that tastes great but is bad for you? Obesity is a massive problem in this country.
>Also, it is in Big Tobacco's best interest to make vaping as difficult as possible. Think about it, all these cities with vape bans haven't banned cigarettes yet, right? Make it extremely difficult to vape and people will resort to smoking.

Maybe, but vaping has (had?) the reputation of being "safer" than cigarettes. I doubt there would be a 1:1 of potential vappers to smokers.
This also applies to new technologies and skill gaps. I'm over 30, and have stopped following the latest javascript trends. I want younger people to be satisfied with the tools that I learned; they're perfectly adequate.

The treadmill of re-inventing the technology wheel also looks like a prison.
No man is an island,

Entire of itself.

Each is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thine own

Or of thine friend's were.

Each man's death diminishes me,

For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee.

I hope you heal in time, and we're with you in your grief.
The AmEx card I used was 100% a Corporate card (not a Business card) and definitely did require a personal guarantee.

edit: After some searching, it appears AmEx offers corporate cards both with and without personal guarantees, and it's up to the company to decide which they want to do. In my case, at one of the largest consulting companies in the world, they required personal guarantees.
aframe.io is sort of a modern and more usable take on the VRML idea.

> you're shifting the culture to make it that much more acceptable to demand it of everyone.

I would argue the cowards who refuse to ever stand up to employers are the cause. If you aren't able to push back on your boss, you're fucked regardless of how many hours I choose to work.

Or Apple can earn the 30% fee and simply prevent this behaviour during app submission.
Because it sets bad precedent and would lead to other nations where MS hosts services to spy on others including the US. People tend to be short sighted and forget that where we go, others will follow.

Look at where cyber warfare has gone since stuxnet for example. It's so much worse today.
Yeah exactly - stop blowing flavoured vapour in my face!
This is a good point. I'm in the exact same boat: I'm from the South too, which isn't something I'm proud of at all, and I occasionally get comments asking why I don't speak with a Southern accent (my parent intentionally adopted a Midwestern English speaking style, and I also intentionally avoided picking up any such accent, plus I grew up in places with more kids who had migrated there from out-of-state). I really don't want to be known for where I came from, but what I've done with my life, which I find far more interesting (being the first person in my family to graduate from a 4-year university).
I've gone through periods of unemployment and will still answer with my profession, with the caveat that I'm looking for work. Just because you aren't currently working doesn't mean what you "do" has changed. People are usually looking for your background or ambitions, not necessarily occupation.

My guess what will happen with the bill

- drivers cant deduct car expenses, and uber /lyft wouldn’t be able to do so easily, which will increase prices and thus decrease total revenue and thus the total amount of people employed by uber / lyft

- drivers wont be allowed to drive full time to avoid benefit requirements like many places

- uber / lyft will insist on exclusivity when you are driving, complete with shifts, locations and last minute schedule changes to compensate and because they can because they are employees. Just like working at walmart or mcdonalds. Working at both will be hard to juggle.
"people ask where you're from"

There's a trope in India where, especially if you look like you are from a lower social caste, people ask you your name, and if you reply with just your first name, insist on knowing your last name, which is of course a primary caste marker for a lot of people.

Asking where someone's from is no different. The answer can be used to silently judge the other person based on the zillion subtle class distinction Europe has, and worse, can't be controlled by an individual, just as you did just now to judge Americans with some hand-wavy pop-sociology.

I can't change where I am from, but I have some control on what I do.
I really wish you'd focus time and energy on documentation and examples for the current products. I wrote this blog post after a very frustrating experience with Stripe Connect: https://testdriven.io/blog/setting-up-stripe-connect-with-dj...
but.. it's all data! (check 'every clojure talk ever' if you don't get the ref, it's hilarious)
By employees, I’m referring to American customers, who opted for the low prices at Walmart versus their local store. My point is employers didn’t have a choice either, if they wanted to stay in business.

This is the end result of arbitrage opportunities due to differences in nations’ wealth.
Does it make a claim that everything is fine? I find it curious how remarking that polar bears aren’t dying out should mean that there’s not lots of other species in trouble, not to mention tons of other things that have problems. Despite polar bears improving.
They're worse than “if you aren’t the customer you’re the product!”.

The latter at least is true in some sense.
You can't fight populism with populism because main draw of populism is an assertion that "everything you suspected about those people is correct, you are not doing anything wrong, all your problems are the fault of elites and all those sacrifices they want you to make are not needed, I have 3 simple fixes that would solve everything without any hardship or change whatsoever".

When the core of your message is the opposite of that there is no way to phrase it in those terms. You can't join the race to the bottom and get where you need to go.

You seem to be forgetting the billions of people in China. Who do you think buys most of the stuff China exports?
Disappointed. This would work better as a first person shooter.
I'm in the same boat; having grown up in Florida, I don't really like telling people, since I know about all the dumb Florida Man memes, and I don't want people lumping me into the same bucket. If they ask what I do for a living, and I tell them "Eccentric math dude" or "Software Engineer", that's something I worked hard to cultivate, and I don't get nearly as defensive about.
Or it puts an emphasis on our social class, creating an immediate hierarchy to those who don't have the choice to have such a prestigious job.

...as far as I can tell, most people have only heard of Regus because WeWork is so often compared to them.

This may well be true, but I'm not sure that's precisely a negative. Most people don't need to hear of Regus unless they're looking for ready-to-go space for a small company, or if they work for a company renting such space. (I'd heard of Regus, as I worked at a company renting space at Regus. And it was a really nice environment. This was back in 2010, by the way.) And I think anyone who was actually doing that search would have pretty easily come across Regus.

WeWork's "innovation" in some ways was marketing directly to developers, pitching themselves as "we're a tech startup ourselves, catering to tech startups just like you!", so people putting together startups would already know their name before they did a search for space.
I can't help thinking that if the US were forced at ICBM-point to choose sides in the Saudi Arabia vs. Iran international rivalry, Iran would be the better choice, even after all the terrible history between Iran and the US.

It's like fighting Christianity's Devil by making a blood pact with Ialchtaluogoloth, Inscrutable Lord of the Slime Pits From Beyond the Dead Stars. At least Lucifer can appreciate a finely tailored suit.

If Saudi Arabia didn't have light, sweet oil reserves and control of the Hajj, they wouldn't have much of anything at all.
Can you use Kuma and Istio together if you already have Istio in one environment?
As I age and realize more and more we're all just making this stuff up I really come to appreciate what my parents have gone though and are probably currently going through. Knowing they are struggling the same as I am, they just has a head start, has made me realize that the relationship moves both ways and that we are in fact there for each other as we move through life.
Anecdotally, I know people who started vaping without ever having touched cigarettes before.
Many large corporates can issue at or below zero in Euros in the current market too, or alternatively issue in very long tenors (30-50+ years) at 1% or less. It’s insane.
We hire a lot of Europeans at my company, and they are shocked and bewildered by our healthcare system.

"Wait, you mean I pay nearly $5000 a year for healthcare insurance, but they won't pay for healthcare until I reach a $5000 deductible!? And if I don't ask each and every doctor at the hospital if they take my insurance, they may not be covered at all?"
I think the delta between "contractor" and "part-time or temporary employee" is a bit steeper than you are claiming.

The tax issues are not minor, to begin with. If I have no property and no employees in a given State, I likely do not pay all sorts of taxes to that state which I otherwise might have to. I likely do not even file an income tax return with that State. As soon as I have an employee living in a State, then I definitely have to file taxes there. I also have to register with their labor department, there are probably state-specific labor laws which I could run afoul of, maybe state-specific postings and notices, etc. It's not simply a matter of the payroll company making the correct deductions.

I have to follow a different hiring practice to hire an employee than a contractor. There are likely to be more requirements on how I must make the job posting, and how I can conduct the interview process. There are additional government forms that must be filled out during the hiring process, and after the candidate is hired. The legal rights of a temporary employee are different from the legal rights of a contractor in important ways that I might not fully understand.

Once an employee is hired, I either have to pay them hourly, or a guaranteed monthly salary. I cannot offer to pay the employee a fixed amount for a certain deliverable. I have to pay the employee on a set time schedule, and not based on deliverables. I cannot withhold payment based on deliverables not being met.

I will have to update my worker's compensation policy. Depending on the size of my company and the state, I may have to enroll this person (and their family) to provide health benefits, life insurance, disability, etc. Also, certain states impose family and medical leave requirements on employees which would not apply to contractors. Federal discrimination regulations only apply to employees. I'm sure the list goes on and on...

And here I was, just wanting to get some help mocking up this new UI screen, or porting some code from one language to another, or making a new logo for my site, or updating the CSS to work with latest device X, or...

Over the last decade I've spent mid-6-figures on sites from Rent-a-Coder to Upwork and it's been a game changer for being able to quickly tackle big problems which arise due to a new R&D effort, or closing a new customer contract which our current feature set doesn't quite support, or just getting logos and wireframes because I'm not a designer and don't have nearly enough work to justify hiring one.

In short, contractors are super fucking important, and the "ABC" test seems to fundamentally mischaracterize a lot of tried and true contract work. Someone that I am hiring to perform a specific task, who is working remotely, who I will not be on-boarding, who will not be working closely with many employees, and who is paid upon completion of that task and then goes away, should be a contractor, even if they are doing work that is central to my business, and even if I closely monitor or specify how the work is to be completed.

I think you can make that first useEffect block fire by passing in an empty array as your params. This should run the code block on mount. To run a function on unmount, return it from the same useEffect with the empty array params.
If you've ever had to setup an ecommerce site before Stripe was around you'd understand why they get so much praise. Your only options were either navigating the complex and expensive world of merchant accounts or dealing with PayPal's horrible API and customer service.
Because you would need to change the rate for those who don't exercise, drive or ride in cars, drink coffee, play impact sports, eat junk food, have unprotected sex, is in the army, plays video games,, lives on the coast, works in a mine, etc
Except the fee is charged from app developers, and in this case, supposedly 'earned' for the benefit of usrs.
The previous poster is giving good advice.

I can tell you don't see it, but there are a multiple aspects of the ballerina site that will offend many of the people they presumably want to engage. I assume that's unintentional. The best thing for them to do is to understand the problems, fix them, and apologize to the offended people.

Dismissing the words of the person explaining the problems and providing good advice on dealing with them is a good way to remain frustrated and fail.
As someone who lived in Hong Kong, this is such a big step backwards. Freedom to access information was such a key part of picking HK over China when setting up an APAC office.

That with UBI we'd still be in exactly the same position as now? Your point was that UBI would somehow play a relevant role in low consumer confidence. I am pointing out that may not be the case.
Remembering the 1992 election, the press kept hammering "recession recession recession" despite the recession itself being over for about a year. Job numbers had been growing for months, but still it was "recession recession recession" over and over again in the press right up through the election, but not after. The New York Times was talking about the "Clinton Recovery" months before Clinton was even in the White House. The mainstream media is more than willing to exaggerate, even beyond the point of deception, in order to elect the candidates they are campaigning for.
