>>Business then has to compete with that to attract labour.
Except the fact that they don't, when speaking about low end jobs/seasonal occupations.

>>Simple competition sorts it out.
Except the fact that businesses eroded work stability and security to shift power dynamic of employer <-> employee massively in employer favor (again largely in case of low end jobs, though (was it) H1-B abuse exploits white collar workers). So employees are desperate to find employment and afraid to loose their current. That really kills any 'wage competition' and is a run to the bottom.

"But the rate of pay increase still was markedly less than historical relationships with labor market conditions would have predicted. Atypical restraint on compensation increases has been evident for a few years now and appears to be mainly the consequence of greater worker insecurity."

> It seems insane, but that's how life looks for thousands of developers.

True, but there's tens of thousands of developers not using big Java enterprise apps where having Docker add 4-5-6+ seconds of startup time has a huge negative impact.

gunicorn (Python) apps tend to start in hundreds of milliseconds (even pretty big ones).

puma (Ruby) apps tend to start in seconds or tens of seconds (it can get higher for massive apps).

cowboy (Elixir) apps tend to start in low seconds (this includes booting up the BEAM VM).

Just the above 3 examples cover the Flask, Django, Rails and Phoenix ecosystem. That's a lot of developers.

>Yes, and because of that, nothing highly unethical ever happens on the market.

This is quite the leap. The world is a big place full of people and of course there will always be unethical people doing unethical things somewhere, that's a fact of life. But you musn't be so cynical to think that the outliers are the norm when they aren't. If unethical behavior was the norm society wouldn't function, which is what the person you first replied to said and what the video I posted also said.
I don't think that "single payer" means anything concrete at all... it's just a question of, can a "normal person" get most of his potential medical needs covered without paying through the nose, going bankrupt, getting substantially sub-standard service, etc.

For example, AFAIK in Switzerland, it's again completely different - everyone is obliged to buy medical insurance (privately, employers cannot offer it), hospitals (and insurance companies) are private, what you get depends on how much you pay (though everyone gets really good care, it's more like, do you share a room with other patients or not), the government covers if you're too poor to pay... Is this single payer or not? It doesn't matter, as long as most everyone is covered and happy. (Admittedly, Switzerland is in a privileged position with high salaries and cost of living, being the world's bank... not sure if other countries can afford to replicate their system.)

Yes it's interesting that the SF area has such high demand for technology workers yet almost no space to actually house them (let alone all the down-and-out people living in parks & alleyways).

Your quote is completely irrelevant to this discussion, because increasing "amount and quality of broadly affordable rental housing" is not the goal of this law as described by your GP.

The law is supposed to give families enough time to adjust or move away and find affordable housing elsewhere, without becoming bankrupt in the meantime.

A completely different goal. Quoting opinions on something that is at best tangentially related does nothing.

I'm the creator of RSVP Keeper.

I recently got married and had to organize RSVP's with my wife. A full-stack developer by trade, I began researching online options, figuring there would be a go-to app for us to use.

Long story short - I didn't find something that was:

Pretty to look at. Simple to setup as a host. Easy to fill out as a guest. Priced in an easy to reason way.

After licking the last envelope, I decided to create an online RSVP app for the modern host. I did a bunch of research - polling my friends and family, studying the needs of a host, and rethinking the RSVP process itself.

I think that RSVP's are still a market where most hosts, for events like weddings or showers, are sending out paper invites because of the tried and true nature of it. I feel like the ubiquity internet hasn't fully saturated this market yet.

If you have any feedback please let me know, and if you think by the looks of it that you may or may not be inclined to use RSVP Keeper for your next event, I'd love to know why. Thank you.
When do babies consent to being born?
I have no experience with football stickers, but my experience with Magic: the Gathering is that this sort of thing can absolutely get addictive.

But whichever thing it is, parental guidance is always a good idea. As a parent, you get a better idea of what's going on, and you can provide context for your kid and learn the lessons together. Maybe it was a scam after all, maybe it is addictive, maybe it's okay. But figure it out together.

Another thing to keep in mind: kids in France start drinking at a much younger age than elsewhere, but they do it at home, with half a glass of wine at dinner. The alcohol might still be harmful, but France certainly doesn't have the binge drinking problem that the UK has.
true, that makes sense ... I'm not a gene or biology specialist, but if you change the gene of a human and he has kids, the kids will inherit the modification, right? so my problem with all these gene manipulations is that the more we do and the more it will impact future generations and who knows what the impact on those will be? So for me having the adult consent is not enough as the impact is not just on him but potentially much greater.

>Android takes longer to develop

>iOS is easier to develop

These are old myths. Yes, in some cases iOS has an easier time, in other cases, it's a PITA. Where you have IntelliJ editor and gradle build system on android, you have XCode and uhhhh whatever they call that system.

I find Android is easier to develop if you have general development skills/knowledge, while iOS requires more iOS specific skills and knowledge.

But, to get to your question, the answer is the most common one: it depends.

What is the app? Who is your target audience? Where is your target audience? What's your funding/features/monetisation/timeline like? Where are you located and where are you going to hire? Why not try Flutter?

Sometimes it might seem "Oh yeah iOS user spend more and is easier to develop" but then you end up on a wild goose chase for skilled iOS developers who won't turn your codebase into trash and then dealing with apple's ecosystem regarding testing, purchases, releasing and all that comes with it. But similar problems can come up with Android too so in the end it just really depends on the answer to above questions.

They’re mostly R leaning states and/or currently R governed or controlled.
Exploding offers (offers that expire 5 business days or less from the day you receive them) are unfortunate but they exist, and not just from companies that are not ideal places to work. There’s not much that can be done in these cases besides ask for an extension, and if you don’t receive one, spend some time figuring out whether your expected value increase from more recruiting will be worth turning it down.

This is a pretty good summary, IMO. I hate exploding offers as a candidate, and also dislike them as a hiring manager. Unfortunately you do get some candidates that hum and haw, drag their feet, or shop your offer around for something better. Which is their prerogative, but it wastes your time and delays your hiring process.

I think honest and open communication is key here. Don’t go silent on the offer, or be vague - tell them you have another interview, and you want to wait to see if you get an offer. If they don’t want to give you an extension and try to strong-arm you it’s a pretty good sign that they know they’re under-offering (and, also, gives you some insight into the nature of the people involved).

Still, it’s not a clear-cut signal to walk away, and I like that this section captures that nuance.

Some observations:

* Parallelism in Clojure is cheap

Parallelism is Clojure is not cheap if you are using ordinary threads, due all machinery necessary to setup and start OS thread (the same applies to Java/C(++)). If you are using core.async, you will get cheap green threads.

However, parallelism in Clojure is extremely easy, especially switching between non-parallel and parallel implementations (map -> pmap or using reducers).

* (Lack of) Libraries and Limitations

This is common misconception between Clojure novices or someone wanting to start with Clojure. Clojure embraces Java and, using Clojure primitives, you can easily make your Java code functional and safe. Lack of ML libraries in pure Clojure just means that wrapping TensorFlow java code will require couple of more Clojure functions.

For me, TensorFlow API isn't the most friendlier API out there and I have impression it is specifically designed for Python by C++ programmers. You may want to check alternative DL4J [1].

Unlike cancer we do know the mutation which protects against HIV and about 2-4% of the population has it so it’s somewhat much simpler if you can actually use it.

I would think they're perfectly allowed to favor certain sites over others, especially with good reasons for doing so.

> Is it incorrect for the containers to set their own resolver settings?

For generic containers, it is. If you build your own very customised app, then sure, you can control what it does. But if you build an app, you don't know where/how I deploy it. It may be without internet access. It may be expected to use private DNS zones. It may be expected to query mdns. The container should not guess or assume those things.

How will the subscription work in relation to credit card company's automatic extension on manufacturer's original warranties is a question. AppleCare is not like an extended warranty from another party, it's direct from Apple. This is a big deal when it comes to credit card warranties.

When someone buys an Apple device with a major credit card they can get the time Apple offered the warranty and then an extra year (2 years for American Express) after the conclusion of the original warranty. With a subscription, I suspect the credit card warranty may become voided or would only extend the original default warranty of the device.

Amex has refunded me money to repair multiple MacBook Pros and an iPhone when the devices failed after AppleCare expired but before the automatic extension had expired.

I'm not surprised, EFI is a mess in general. Good old BIOS has worked for 30+ years, and is simple enough that it's not hard to get right (yet there are/were some that still did...) --- load the first sector of the boot device at 7C00 and jump to it.
Ceteris paribus, not having the data is strictly, mathematically more private and secure than having the data but being contractually obliged not to distribute it around.

It's as simple as this. Now I do prefer a society of trust over excessive technological means, but let's not pretend like sending data to an additional third party is somehow more or even just as private as not sending it in the first place.
> To mitigate this risk, our partners are contractually bound to adhere to this policy.

You seem to think that:
1)No company in the history of the world, has ever violated a contract?

2)No government has ever forced a company to give up information that it is contractually obliged not to give up

3)No hacker has ever hacked into a company's systems and exfiltrated data the company was contractually obliged not to share

You seem to think that if a contract has been concluded, it is impossible for it to be violated.

Then there are also the problems of making all Firefox browsers depend on the availability of CloudFlare.

I see analogy between capitalism and feudalism in how some people defend rich founders and owners of private companies.

In feudalism, it was common to ascribe the collective success of a nation (or a smaller, land-owning group of people in a given region) to a single individual, the feudal lord. He had the ultimate (and hereditary) authority over the operations of the group, by virtue of successfully coordinating the defense of the group against external threats.

In modern (19th to 21st century) private companies, there is a similar dynamic. There is founder, who is ascribed unlimited power within the domain of his private company, just by the virtue of coordinating its expansion. (He "deserves it" because he "took the risks".) And this power is hereditary - he can decide to pass the ownership of the company to his own descendants.

Sure, the powers of modern capital owners over lives of people are much smaller than in feudalism. But the arguments used to justify the power of capital owners over the operations (and profit distribution) in the company are in principle the same as those used to defend feudal lordship.

In the political domain, humans eventually wisened up and decided that feudal lords should be replaced with democratic republic, because success of a nation is a collective effort, and so the decision making should also be done collectively.

I think this will eventually happen to founders in capitalism too.

Petrol taxes are probably the fairest way to tax ICE based on usage short of having black-boxes in every car (which would in turn create a nice black market in itself for fiddling them) - heavier and less efficient vehicles naturally use more and so get charged more, the more you drive, the more you burn, the more you pay.

I can't see a fairer way than that for ICE at the moment.
> Give up the idea of data volume containers. Given that volumes are the way to go, no other filesystems in the container need to, or should be, writable.

Interesting philosophy, it will pose some issues when replicating a Docker 'build' like system though. But that could be separated from the 'run' system with cached layers.
