Different philosophies. I think the biggest difference is that Rails has a much bigger ecosystem and more developers than Django does. There are gem's out there that support almost everything you want to do and if there's not there are resources from people who have had to solve similar problems.

Indeed. I'm currently in the process of porting my companies product from Firebase to Postgres. We're making full use of postgres-specific features where that makes sense. I can't see why we'd ever want to switch.

To expand on this, people will commonly give you unintentional "hooks" for where you can go to increase the depth of the conversation.

For example, people use common words as short hand for many things ("Work was stressful", "The kids are being a pain", "We had a really nice weekend"), and a mistake people run into when talking with others is that they assume the person they are talking with meant they same thing they themselves would have if they had used that phrase. This leads to lots of people "listening but not understanding".

So basically, offhand comments and common phrases are a great place to get a person to dig in deeper into their feelings on a topic. Usually they indicate something that is on the person's mind but that they probably haven't worked through enough to put into words. That means you will get a much more raw and unfiltered response from them.

Also it's always good to remember that people love to talk about themselves, even if they say they don't.

Why Positive Cashflow Matters
> Did Apple ever offer a XMPP federated iMessage?

EDIT -> They did NOT, see below comment by nvrspyx.

Apparently they did, and removed it around Mojave-era or so...? I'm not familiar with Apple products, this statement is based on https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/9l5xu7/mojave_now_th...

> Also iOS will always remind you Safari is there, as it is the default browser and that can't be changed.

> When did we have iTunes on windows Phone either?

I agree that incompatibility in general is not on its face evidence of anti-competitive behavior.

> Facebook offered XMPP messenger?

They did, then once they imported users to their platform, turned that feature off. That might have precipitated Google to turn off XMPP federation on GTalk to stop the bleeding.

> Shall Google ... not make changes they think are better(even if they are worse overall)?

Nobody said that Google cannot make any changes to their products. Moving from a standard 'everyone' can use to a closed-off system could be argued as anti-competitive, hence its inclusion on the list.

> Lots of developers didn't develop for Windows phone. Shall those be investigated too?

Those developers could refrain from developing themselves, but they were not in a position to stop competitors from developing their own apps. Google is in a different position.

> Yes yes, MSFT did make a youtube app, but google has full liberty to decide which platforms they want to make apps for

Google said not to develop the app that way, but this way. MS complied. Google still refused to allow the app for no explained/good/political/anti-competitive? reasons. Google was focused on killing Windows Phone, not the iPhone, even as far back as 2006. Eric S in the Verge article in my above comment "... at the time we were very concerned that Microsoft's mobile strategy would be successful."

Why Google and not Apple? Apple is worth more, and is extremely anticompetitive. You have to buy and sell apps in their app store. Apple charges a base 30%. All apps must be approved by Apple. And Apple has a history of removing apps from their app store only to release their own clone of the same app!

Quote from another discussion about a Bloomberg claim:

> Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” last October — a sensational story alleging that data centers of Apple, Amazon, and dozens of other companies were compromised by China’s intelligence services. The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed by a single other publication (despite much effort to do so), and has been largely discredited by one of Bloomberg’s own sources. By all appearances “The Big Hack” was complete bullshit. Yet Bloomberg has issued no correction or retraction, and seemingly hopes we’ll all just forget about it. I say we do not just forget about it. Bloomberg’s institutional credibility is severely damaged, and everything they publish should be treated with skepticism until they retract the story or provide evidence that it was true.

I like this method of inquiry. You would probably make a good investigator.
If you are a semi-competent software engineer with some experience, move to the Bay Area, get a position at any large company that pays well (350k-500k including RSU is pretty feasible these days), live absolutely frugally (under 40-50k a year), invest the rest in VTSAX+VTIAX and don't keep them in your company stock (perhaps some 30% fixed income too to smooth the ride) and you'll be there in ~5 years with absolutely minimum risk (if the market crashes it might take maybe 7? But if you buy a slice of bonds you'll have dry powder to rebalance into equities as they fall).

I've been doing that for a few years now and I'm at ~1.6M all liquid and on track to retire before I'm 40 (32 now) and I'm a standard software engineer working in infra. I wish I would have known that earlier instead of completely wasting my time working as a startup employee for pennies, but I also had immigration issues (H1B visa) that prevented me from freely navigating the job market (or at least that's what I like to tell myself as a poor excuse for not taking more control of my future sooner...).

If you want to reduce those ~5 years, you can start putting your money in speculative bets (e.g. crypto, leveraged etf, option trading), but that's not my cup of tea, I am way too aware of how much easier it is to go from $1M to $0 than from $0 to $1M.

The biggest advice I have for you is: if you're interested in seeing financial returns on your time/work, don't work for a startup, ever :-)

The Apple ecosystem is huge though. You can't claim Google is dominant "outside the Apple ecosystem". That's the same as saying Google has a monopoly if you ignore its competitors.

I used to work at Google. Apps written by hobbyists were only exceptionally rarely blocked deliberately. But those apps often [ab]use internal APIs and protocols of the services, so they'd break during updates (which were frequent). Sometimes they have to be blocked due to external contracts (e.g. Maps). Sometimes they tripped anti-botting/anti-spam detection and got users blocked that way.

In the end there's no law, agreement or even convention that all services exposed over the internet must allow reimplementations of third party client software. Moxie Marlinspike has written about the difficulties introduced by formally supporting this:

Not the case at all. We have subsidized healthcare in the USA and have had it for a long time. The poor (typically the demographics of vapers and smokers) rely on free healthcare quite a bit via Medicaid and or just having the tax payers foot their hospital bill for them. Older people have Medicare. We also subsidize addiction facilities and mental facilities as well. We pay way more for our healthcare than most other nations but we also have most of the medical innovations occurring in the states. All that said, yeah the government does not allow citizens to jump off buildings and run out into traffic because they think it's a good idea. We try to warn against those types of things and it's no different than what the CDC is doing by warning Americans to stop vaping until we know what is killing people.

What would you consider a hot market in Europe?

I mean, one could say my city is also hot by the number of search results from the keyword software in the job portals but after closer inspection, if you've been around the block a few times, you can easily tell that over 90% of those jobs are shitty micromanaged fake scrum-driven burnout meat grinders.

Therefore, the remaining 10% are spammed to death with resumes so they can afford to be incredibly picky and wouldn't even look at you without seniority in other prestigious places that do exactly what they're looking for. And they don't care for leetcode either so the barrier of entry remains prestige.

IMHO that's not really hot.

More similar than different in a lot of ways, but I suspect the differences come out of their background. Rails was originally developed by a consulting company for both client work and their own apps, so it really emphasizes rapid development -- it pushes convention over configuration very hard, had database migrations from its first version (Django didn't get those for years, etc.). Django came out of a newspaper (the Lawrence-World Journal), and seems really optimized for building custom CMSes -- there's nothing I've found in any other system that's truly like Django's admin console, for instance. (Another sign of its newspaper heritage: it's the only template language I've ever seen whose date filter has extensions to match Associated Press style!)

It's been working pretty well so far, and given people more experience in hiring that I hope helps them later in their careers.

Too many people end up on the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. These people end up overworked and want relief from a monotonous, stressful, overworked life, and aren't thinking further ahead than that. So they will indeed give up liberty for security.

It's ultimately because people use other people to accomplish goals, so it's always a big pyramid scheme.

There is probably no escape from this while human labor can help others achieve goals.

If I have have an infected tear duct (in fact, I do) requiring a visit to an ENT specialist (for example), it's frankly absurd that the next appointment requires a 2-6 week wait. And then it also affects the work day because ENTs docs are only available 9-5.

Why aren't there two shifts of doctors: 7am - 3pm, and (as an example) 12pm-8pm? At least I work a computer-based job; what about a construction worker or other blue-collar worker who has to take an entire day off because they can't log in and continue work remotely (and if you know blue collar folks, this is the reason many will skip preventative care until they are critically ill)?

Your argument seems to be "well you won't lose the eye or go blind so it's fine" and that simply isn't how we should be viewing healthcare.

I think you're right, the US has a bad image when it comes to crime.

> The ever increasing number of cases of perfectly innocent people in their way to home killed by police by mistake or by "mistake"

From what statistics I've been able to find, it's more-or-less stayed the same or even gone down slightly (for unarmed individuals shot by police). It's hard to know for sure as it's a relatively small amount and difficult to deduce any trends. Media coverage of these events seems to be disproportionately higher - however.

This is my opinion so it could be completely wrong, but it's hard to believe police are going to shoot someone that is complying with orders, hasn't committed a violent crime, and is not showing any signs of aggression.
Show HN: Sunvoice.me, the B2B Version of Venmo
Entirely dependent on location, lifestyle, family status, etc. Yes, with $2m you can retire tomorrow and get something like $100K/year in pretty much guaranteed income not pegged to inflation. (You can argue the numbers but certainly <$200K/year with moderate risk.) And you can certainly live on that amount of money but equally certainly not with an opulent lifestyle--especially if you don't own your house/condo, have college expenses, like to travel/eat out etc.

ADDED: Yes, you're "rich" but not jet-setting in business class at resort hotels, multi-million dollar coastal city condo, eat at top restaurants on a regular basis etc. rich. Which is actually just fine for a lot of people who have no particular interest in those things.
If we can just name zero dimension space as 'not space,' we could solve the problem much more easily by renaming 'space' as 'not space' instead of relying on convoluted analogies with holograms.

> It's fine to check out the implementation details for interest's sake, but let's just be clear that it all could have been done with a $5 VPS.

If you're just hosting a static site, it can be done for free. You can use Github pages (or any similar free static site host) + Cloudflare for free. Getting Slackdotted, HNed, or reddit hugged will all survive just fine, for free.

So to recap:

* Use a static site, maybe with a static site generator like Hugo

* Use a static site host, which could be github pages (free), s3 (cheap), or a $5 VPS anywhere running apache or nginx

* Use a free CDN, likely Cloudflare, to handle the brunt of the bandwidth.

The IPFS is interesting but way more work currently than any of this is worth. And if people are using IPFS compatible browsers, the load is being transferred to the IPFS servers anyway, which is worse than just using a regular hosting method and Cloudflare CDN. If IPFS actually had decent adoption, the method described would fall to a crippling internet hug.

The goal of IPFS is to distribute the load (for people with IPFS browsers), and it's possible the article's loadout would do that, but given he's seeing 160GB of transfer from his servers, it certainly doesn't seem to be doing that very effectively currently. And this setup does not in any way demonstrate IPFS is ready to do that, because Cloudflare is saving his servers' butts.
That's not an accurate characterization of the permitted uses. Permitted uses 4, 5, and 6, for example, are all well beyond the scope of what you described.
Yeah, that'd be my main argument here. In practice, I'm not sure switching database back ends happens that often once you're actually in production -- and when it does, it's usually moving between back ends that are so different you're going to be doing a lot of rewriting anyway.
