I think visibility into costs is not any sort of driving control for healthcare (nor education loans). They are already features of our existing system and do nothing to control costs vs having the appropriate government regulation - in the case of healtcare of drug and service prices like other nations, or of providing basic low-cost public university options again like most modern nations besides the US does.
I get the feeling that ageism in hiring is often driven by this.
It's not about them trying, they don't have the competence that it takes to sell phones worldwide. It takes years to build relationships with the carriers -- where most phones are sold.
I've received a lot of spam from bots scraping my CV, which has been made apparent by the fact that they contact me via information listed only on my CV.

If someone is incapable of taking 2 seconds to enter (or copy and paste) a few letters, even on mobile, then they are probably someone I'm not interested in working with anyway, so this prevents everyone from wasting time. Life is short. :)

You can, but most people have a built-in defense mechanism for dealing with excessive happiness; they indulge invented troubles and make themselves miserable. Some large fraction of contemporary news headlines are attributable to this phenomenon; most people aren't actually clever enough to invent their own troubles so they adopt the invented troubles created by others.

I don't understand why people aren't using Fossil[1]. It's still simple, while maintaining a consistent and sensible user interface. It might not be as flexible, but the repos are just sqlite databases, and Sqlite can be called from almost any language, so there's huge potential for custom tools that solve a specific use-case etc. It's main advantage, though, is that it's about much more than just code. Issues (called tickets), Wikis or even Forums can be a part of your repo. That means there's absolutely no vendor lock in. In fact, you can host your repos by just SCPing a repo file to a public server. You can also collaborate on issues offline etc. It's written by the Sqlite guy, so it's highly reliable and well documented, upto the technical details like file formats etc. It's designed so that repos can last for hundreds of years. The C code is also of very high quality.
Why would everyone stop working? If you were given the choice, would you just sit around and eat M&Ms and watch tv all day? Or would you work anyway?

Consider your examples. Who would grow the food? Farmers. Because people would grow food anyway (and do), whether or not they get paid, because it's intrinsically rewarding. Building houses? Jimmy Carter is rich and 90-odd years old and builds houses. Med school? Maybe people want to be doctors?

The jobs that are at risk in this model are the jobs that have no intrinsic value to the individual other than the paycheck.

Terrifying darkness, cold and hunger amid PG&E’s sweeping power blackouts
It was clear to me how threatened Facebook was by TikTok when I brought it up with an employee in June.

They kept mentioning infinite scroll, and that everyone was supposed to be thinking about how to incorporate that into product.

After zuck discussed TikTok directly recently, I’m not surprised google and fb lobbyists would press for this investigation.

One question I have, is the real-time interests of millions of 16-24 yo Americans reported back to the Chinese government a national security concern?

Reading the answers to that Stack Overflow question provides great insight into why git is so successful. "One of the most common use case" is actually several closely related use cases, and git has one-line commands to cleanly handle all of them.

I will say from experience that it's not hard to use git productively with a bit of self-study and only a few of the most common commands. You still have to understand what those commands actually do, though.
But not everybody is doing it wrong. Most companies I've worked for have invested in understanding Scrum, and have applied it very successfully.

The problem here is toxic corporate culture. Scrum and Agile are not magic spells that miraculously turn idiots into reasonable people. Sure, they could be used as levers to change that culture, but the culture absolutely needs to change, otherwise it's not going to work.

And that's something you can throw in their face: that they're not taking Scrum and Agile development seriously. If they say they want Scrum and Agile, then make sure you understand what they really mean, and hammer on it every time they trample on the autonomy of the developers. Every time they ask why things aren't done, tell them management is interfering with the process.
That was not the argument the OP made. The argument wasn't that other people aren't necessary for income. Their argument was that relying on one, and only one 3rd party platform for selling things online was a bad idea.

If your career and income are entirely reliant on one company, regardless of type (tech platform or retail or college or whatever), you're beholden to their whims and whether or not they stay open. It's a good idea to diversify your income if possible (via savings and investment if possible).

Further, this is even more of an issue if your income is selling and buying via online platform. They may not shut down, but they very-well may change the TOS to exclude your type of selling. . . . Which is what this is.
Ok -- if masculinity is irrelevant, which is what I am claiming and what you say the APA guidance also claims, then why do they spend so much time on it? They don't dismiss it, just speak to different types of masculinity.

What is the intended interpretation of your sources? It seems like you just put some random links up. They don't seem to link the creation of toxic masculinity to any movement.

This sounds like some conspiracy tinfoil hat old man rant (I swear I'm non of those), but I hear regular "non-tech" people airing the same complaints more and more. It's just disappointing that there isn't an option to not participate I guess. Sorry for the long (mostly off topic) rant

Rant on my friend. Rant on. You're not the only one getting depressed about all this lunacy. How about that yahoo article about white male depression or something. I'm sure shit like this is just another heavy rock on the pile of life we're carrying on our backs, white, male or not. It's a problem for everyone. Nineteen Eighty-Four is coming to life before our eyes. It's a damn prophecy.

I have friends who fully understand whats going on and chose to have alexas and rings in their home because they're lazy in the sense that they want to maximize their recreational and leisure time. They don't want to fiddle with the complexity of setting up their own cctv cameras, running wires and then figuring out how to remotely access it without leaving your home open to a hack. They don't want bulky PC's. They have careers, kids and a babysitter so easy peasy iot cameras with mobile phone apps are a godsend for them. They don't believe they are special enough to warrant surveillance. They say they'll just bore some eavesdropping spook. Ain't got nothing to hide.

I recently spoke with a musician who randomly complained about: operating systems that they couldn't control, phones tracking everything, ads tracking them, microphones and cameras everywhere which could be hack or backdoored, email spying by the provider, etc. They had a pretty good grasp of the situation as well. They even became proactive and opened a paid protonmail account. Then they asked about purism laptops and if they could live with using Linux.
> Disabling this means that users have to approve each extension, which does indeed give them more control.

From what I read only if those extensions are declared acceptable (aka signed) by Mozilla. Pretending this gives me as user the control seems highly disingenuous. The only entity with all the power is certainly not the user anymore.
Many of these activities involve exercise, which means they'll significantly decrease your risk of premature death compared to a "safe" sedentary activity. Just something to keep in mind when thinking about risks.

Is there actual benefit to maintaining a language that isn’t backwards compatible? I remember python being lauded as the best language ever 10 years ago. Now, as I have to maintain several versions or face massive efforts to port code, I dread working with it as much as national instruments. It’s not just a little fractured. It’s fractured to its core to the point that just having any system working feels like a miracle. Why are they steering the ship into every possible rock?
DKIM Demystified
I work remotely, and absolutely work off-hours, weekend hours, and some holiday hours. I also take long lunches on weekdays, sleep in if I feel like it, go out on long walks when I need a break, and just stop working mid afternoon if I'm not in the zone. Overall, it balances out. I work when I am productive, usually right around 40 hours a week.

But I can see why people would think I'm working extra hours if all they are looking at is my Slack availability. The connectivity of my devices !== whether or not I'm actually going to respond if you send me a message.

Hmm fair enough. Case rested then.
Why do you think incentives are removed? Is "work or starve" the only incentive?

I'm not talking about a beachfront mansion and a Ferrari in the driveway for everyone. I'm talking about not starving. Want to be more than the bare minimum? Then choose to work. Don't care? Then don't work - not that people who don't care are effective employees anyway.

I absolutely will. I offered that they could reply directly and I'd update-- or that they could come school me in public if they disagree with me and preferred to reply in public. :)
I’m not sure why you’re equating stress and growth. Surely you can grow without being stressed? In fact, that’s my preferred way! I enjoy learning new things and being challenged... to me that’s not stressful at all, but the opposite — restorative.
Sorry but no, the sides cannot work together to dispassionately purge only clear falsehoods.

Consider this case, hot off the presses. Yesterday Aaron Sorken wrote an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg in the New York Times in which he stated the following:

"And right now, on your website, is an ad claiming that Joe Biden gave the Ukrainian attorney general a billion dollars not to investigate his son. Every square inch of that is a lie and it’s under your logo. That’s not defending free speech, Mark, that’s assaulting truth."

Really? Sorken knows for sure that Biden was not self-dealing? Joe was totally not thinking about his son's half million dollar no-show job with a corrupt Ukranian firm when he ordered the Ukranian government to fire the guy who was investigating it? Wow, that's a really amazing level of access to the truth!

No doubt Sorken has heard and completely believes the mainstream narrative: the prosecutor was himself corrupt and all right-thinking people wanted him removed. (Never mind it's entirely possible that this narrative is true, AND Biden was self-dealing.)

My point is not to convince anyone that Biden was self-dealing. My point is that Sorken is calling objectively false something that is clearly plausible.

This is how it goes. Most people are invested in narratives, and they are keen to suppress ideas that counter their preferred narrative. The idea that they will somehow draw clean lines between facts an interpretations has always been a foolish hope.

Wow! Even Linus has some form of 'impostor syndrome' and self-doubt after all the technical achievements.

I agree on the health care aspect but in addition I think people stay at these jobs because it is the norm. The grass is not assumed to be greener on the other side. We will leave a job for more money but we assume it will come with the same soul crushing workload and nonsense.
Fitbit was absolute trash before the buyout. Garbage in, garbage out.

My previous company provided one of those Fitbit bracelets and it just stopped working one day after a month of usage. While it did work, step tracking was spotty, at best.

I highly recommend folks listen to recent episodes of Ben Thompson’s exponent podcast where he discusses TikTok and its influence in the USA.

He makes the point that US consumers become subject to Chinese censorship policies when using the platform while China outright bans or heavily restricts American companies from operating (eg google search, Facebook).
