Nobody plays by the "level playing field" rules. The US likes to pretend it does, but as soon as there's an industry where it's not competitive (like agriculture for example), that goes out of the window. And IMO for good reason. Unfettered markets work in some cases. But in many cases they have lead to "winner takes all scenarios" where a single player (or 2/3 players) become dominant and the market is no longer competitive. We need a system that works against this over the long term, and some level of protectionism seems like a decent way of doing that.
So, does such agencies provide benefits other than salaries to candidates?
Donating to Mozilla goes to the foundation, not the company. This funds various initiatives that you may find useful or not but does not go directly to the browser. As far as I know there is no actual way to pay/donate and have that money allocated to the browser only.

On the other hand, I disagree with your proposal. When I pay for software, content or a service I pay because I want the service/content, not because I want to join some kind of social club or receiving useless merch cluttering my wardrobe.
Update your skills, php is hard to market, learn python or rails, that would have high roi
I do the same, any kind of minimally unexpected code gets its explanation as a comment if the code can't be clear about the why. I like to leave a comment with what is happening, the background for it and any kind of gotchas I'm aware at the time.

This has saved countless man-hours for my teams, including myself when refactoring part of the codebase a year or so later, having a nicely written rationale behind some weird-looking code gives me not only peace of mind but a lot of trust in the rest of the team.
I am shocked to see how adversarial many of these comments are.

It’s ok to negotiate win-win. And in the long run you win from that, because what you want is great relationships with people who feel they can rely on you and respect your work.

If you can do that without being taken advantage of, you will get tons of work for years and make money you are happy with.

Why double your rate right away? Are you happy working for $10?

Can you find new work? Can you increase the rate gradually? Can you say ‘this month it will go up to $12, but in 3 months it will go up to $15’ ...

It’s great if everyone makes money. Are you annoyed your friend is making money? Why are you willing to make $10 from one person but you want $18 from another?

You don’t want to work too cheaply, but you also want to maintain relationships. This is how you get more work for years and years and build a career.

Also it’s good practice.

Cyberpunk 2077 – Tools of Destruction
I don't doubt that Xiaomi makes good stuff, but with the current political situation I'd be hesitant to buy any Chinese Android phone because I'd be afraid of them getting cut off from the Google ecosystem like Huawei (who also made great phones and the only smartwatch I actually liked using) did.
It reminds me when I was at a user group at Microsoft for the launch of the new Windows Phone OS...

... The guy gave a long marketing speech about how "beautiful" it was, how they did so much user research on what people wanted and spent a fortune developing and using a brand new font for the interface(s).

Then, someone stuck their hand up and said "Is it true that you don't have copy/paste features yet?"

Why can't people learn... things may be important, but no one cares about the technicalities... I don't care if this is algorithm, AI, ML... neural network processing or some other fancy new term...

... just give the user a setting for what screen something should pop up on and everyone will be happy!
Wow the pricing is ridiculous. It's using last year's flagship CPU and has two screens with a hinge. Be interesting to see how it sells but I'm not convinced it's a good buy.
Or you could just get any other Android or iPhone and run Office on it.
If it was employment, would you hold them to the same standard? They too are businesses after all; by your logic, they get to pay you more or less depending on factors like gender, age, etc.

You're applying this corporate-libertarian ideal to this situation but only a small change to your statement undermines it.

Sure, and when I attach a bluetooth keyboard - which is about once every 5 years, at this rate - I do specify Dvorak.

Dvorak, as another commenter says, isn't as big a win for screen tapping. Dvorak does tend to alternate from one side to the other, but because the most common letters are on the home row, I'd expect it to encounter a lot of ambiguity in predictive swiping.
Congrats and nice idea.

So basically they're paying 30-40% of the salary for a payment insurance service? That seems a little... excessive? Just how often are payments missed to warrant this kind of a premium?!

From what I can tell that's 27% of the _game systems_. Then they have the actual rest of the game to build with all the actual content. Planets, scenarios, dialogue, story (if there is one) etc.

Oh, and also another game (Squadron 42).
Underpowered CPU, laggy interface, poor battery life. Fail.

I disagree that it costs Tinder the same amount for all users, regardless of age.

Consider their COGS to be user acquisition costs. Serve too many unattractive people and those costs go up as people leave the platform.

With the amount of data they have, I'm sure you could reliably estimate the cost of any given profiles being shown to any other given profile.

This could be used to determine who profiles are shown to, and how often. One implication is that attractive but dead accounts will be shown more often to unattractive but highly active accounts. Another is that unattractive but highly active accounts must be charged more to maintain the same margins.

I am equivocating attractiveness with age here, but presumably there would be too much public outcry if they charged by attractiveness alone, so they my guess is they use age as a proxy.
The minimum varies from $20k to $500k depending on platform and target company. Hard to find and in high demand shares are at the higher end.
Microsoft has R&D centers in China where they employ graduates of China's top universities to work on cutting-edge research. https://www.msra.cn/

There is a group of enthusiasts who are interested in something other than playing old games. Some are interested in exploring the unusual hardware, while others are interested in hardware or software development. Unfortunately, functional original hardware is becoming more difficult to find and some modern peripherals are desirable (e.g. storage) so something like this ends up being the next best thing.

The article mentions "Two Chinese government-backed chip projects". Of course there's nothing wrong with it, if the US government is messing with the market for geopolitical reasons, the Chinese government has all the interest and the legitimacy to intervene on the other side.

There is no plausible solution for multitude of reasons listed in other comments.

What I suggest, perhaps as last ditch effort, is look in the opposite direction: attacking the remaining Beltelecom and mobile layer2/3 connectivity in the country.

The only reason the limited networking is still up and running is not some residual generosity of the regime. It is because traditional PSTN and long range special comms services are all routed via IP trunking these days. Disrupting these will also disrupt operations level communication between KGB, police and presidential security units that are squashing the protests.

How to Simplify Your Design
Your 'friend' is scamming you, they are basically taking a chunk of your wage for doing absolutely nothing at all.

Can you deal directly with the client and cut out the middleman? Early in my career, I did this with an employment agency who were perpetuating the same scam on me.

They weren't pleased about it, but fuck 'em. These capitalist bastards will grind you down and steal your labour any way they can - and you deserve better!

Anyway good luck with it, whichever approach you take.
He actually doesn't have any legal contract with his client. The client wanted to find some cheaper resources, my friend found this client on a freelancing platform and convinced him that he will make a team of resources in our country for him.
£100 in 1982 have inflated to roughly £305 today:

The original 16K Speccy launched for £125, worth a whisker under £350 in 2019 (per wikipedia). So the Spectrum Next with Raspberry Pi Zero preinstalled is actually cheaper than the original entry-level Spectrum.
> However, it shouldn't come at the expense of other users.

This seems extremely naive.

What is the difference between these two hypothetical grocery stores:

At Pete's, apples cost $3 per kilo, but if you're under 25 and can prove it, pete will give you a $1 discount.

At Jane's, apples cost $2 per kilo, but if you look over 25, jane will stick you with a $1 'ugly old fart' surcharge.

And yet you seem to be arguing that jane's store is over the line, but pete's is a-okay.

That seems rather silly. So all Tinder has to do is adjust _the wording_ used in their tiered pricing model and they're in the clear?
Starting an independent project or two in an area you haven't played in before might be both fun and useful. I have a somewhat long list of ideas I don't have the time to do if you're looking for inspiration -- feel free to email me if you want 'em (soham at soh dot am).
I really like PDFs. It is a portable way to render something not design for a web browser.
I can think of two Options:

You could try getting in touch directly with new clients (costs time and effort) and negotiate a better deal.

You could negotiate with your friend to pay you the full amount but pay your friend a fixed fee instead (applicable if the worktime is not constant). For example if you work 50h/month the client pays 700 - 450 for you. Offer your friend a constant 200$. But try to increase your worktime so you get a better quote and your friend has a fixed income.
And yet when it comes to insurance (car or otherwise), in my country at least the area you live in changes the cost of insurance; some areas have a higher rate of theft, some brands are more likely to be stolen, and some demographics are more likely to end up in an accident (due to inexperience or recklessness).

It's a difficult one; objectively speaking, cost is a factor of risk, and risk is what insurance is for. But at the same time, it's discrimination based on age - not ALL people who just got their license are reckless.
> Everything else that you will read – the logic, the reasoning, and the conclusions – was generated entirely by GPT-3.

The open question is how much did the human tweak the prompts in response to the generated text. Unless this was a moderately blind process, there’s a good chance that they kept rolling the dice until something they liked came out, which re-inserts a significant human element. I suspect that the human’s contributions likely rise to the level of co-author, or at least a very opinionated editor.
Sure, if someone is typing < 30wpm it gets tedious to chat, but bad code readability comes from not caring about others rather than typing speed.

How is your knowledge of regular expressions?

> "Regulated as a public utility" means, economically, that prices/profits are set by law ...

That's one part of it. Another part - unfortunately not even considered by the article - is customer support.

Utilities must provide customer support. For example, if a customer loses their account password.

Google famously has no recourse for people locked out of an account. If Google were to be regulated as a public utility, that would need to change.
And in the US, they pay the employer’s side of FICA -7.5% and unemployment insurance.

But 30% is not unreasonable. There isn’t any place that I have worked that hasn’t had a much larger gap between my pay and my billable rate even when I was working full time and we were doing custom work for clients.
> Discrimination based on sex/gender or age is (usually) prohibited in Europe

From museums to bus fares, europe is littered with discounts for 65+ and <12 or <18.

So is this a case where government run orgs get to price discriminate but business can't, or where the laws make explicit exceptions for gigantic subsets of the economy (I'd call transportation a pretty big sector), or... what? Your claim that price discriminating based on age is illegal in the EU is hard to believe without some proof.
What it costs to make is irrelevant to the price, it's all about what people are willing to pay. Phones have become indespensible for many people, it's easy to justify spending more on something you use all the time.
Because there's a market, and because having an expensive phone goes a long way to making it feel premium.
This is a SAAS product if ever there was one
> Its performance and security is lagging severely behind Chrome, and it doesn't really respect privacy any more than Chrome does in its default configuration.

The first two points haven’t been true for years and the second is debatable - Firefox’s tracking protection certainly seems to be more effective.

The problem for Mozilla is that this doesn’t matter enough: Firefox feels faster than Chrome, but both are fine in normal use and your web browsing experience will be most affected by the site you’re using needing a ton of JavaScript rather than the browser. Similarly, their developer tools have a bunch of nice features but the developer experience is pretty decent in every browser so it’s not a distinguishing factor the way it used to be.

Browsers have been commodified and that’s the core of Mozilla’s business while Google has a ton of ad revenue to support Chrome no matter what happens.
Aside from maybe Dublin, this seems to be true. Obviously that has to do with synergies of the language alone that gets you a large advantage for your location.
Maybe.

My phone is on the blink and I'm probably going to buy the Pixel 4a, largely because I want a smaller phone, preferably a stock android and I don't really see much additional value in high end features.

Still, if I could occasionally go from comfortable in one hand to, I crack it open and I have a double screen side for reading a book or looking at docs on the go and that'd be nice.

Whether it can be implemented and whether it's worth an extra $1000 is a discussion point.

TL;DR got small hands. Interested, but probably not for the price point.
What will get better? There are basically no economic benefits since the UK still has to follow EU regulations and pay tariffs on top of that, if it wants to export its products and services to EU countries.

The biggest change is that the UK can close its borders to citizens of EU countries.

I am not sure this is the right road, as the middle man is my good old friend. May be I will try to persuade him, how much value I provide by managing all the client work by myself. I think I can give him a big rate, if he refuses or couldn't convince the client to pay that much then I will stop working for him.
Apple operates in China. ARM operates in China. Tesla operates in China.

Even Facebook operates in China. Their social network is banned (for refusing to comply to censorship laws), but the company is still allowed to do business. Facebook has quite a few advertisement deals in China.

Heck, walk down the street in China for 10 minutes and you'll see more McDonalds and StarBucks than you've ever seen in your life.

Since 2014 legal reforms, many foreign companies are no longer required to form joint ventures in China, and so own 100% of the shares (and technology).

Saying that "China doesn't allow foreign companies" is... unnuanced, to say the least.

Because the syntax alone is already so different it was a great way for me to "re-learn" programming. Even for the very short while I played with it, it really thought me to look further than the default go-to patterns I used to use.
There is a massive difference between KDE e.V and Mozilla.

KDE e.V does not fund any development. It's just there to help with legal matters, organizing conferences, sprints etc.

KDE's development is primarily by volunteers and a handful of developers paid by various interested companies.

These companies have historically included TrollTech/Nokia/Digia/Qt Company, Red Hat, Novell (Suse), Canonical, and nowadays mostly Blue Systems,
Semiconductor foundry is the current bottle neck of China. The agreement with U.S is lethal for mainland chip manufactures and will potentially grind the electronics market down to a halt. 4 of top 10 pure-play companies in the world is in Taiwan. IMO this move too obvious and weak to attract talents from these companies. Few people would join the 'chase up to the frontier of technical know-how' just because of better salary packages. It's possibly a 'worst case' scenario type of planning.
Thanks, very much agree.

I took a naive approach to it before having any clue about electronics, just replacing one of the (3) internal fans with a quieter one of the same voltage. Mostly to see if that would work.

While it functioned, the "fan warning" light was then permanently on (with the replacement fan in).

If I still had the gear and were to do it again, I'd investigate properly and figure out a real solution. :)
> There are also many cases where increased freedom doesn’t limit other people’s freedom; for example my freedom to have consensual sexual relationships with whomever I choose doesn’t limit anyone else’s freedom.

A bit earlier in the article:

> Things like freedom or speech or religion can infringe on other people’s freedoms. If I say that all Jews should be kicked in the face whenever you see one this limits Jewish people’s freedom live a life without fear of being kicked in the face.

No, no. You already made the typical mistake. If I kick a jew in the face, I infringe on their freedom to live a life without actually getting kicked in the face. But if I say jews should be kicked in the face, I infringe on their freedom to live a life without fear of getting kicked in the face - a freedom, you may note, that libertarians don't actually believe in, because anyone with a smidgen of security mindset can see that it's completely exploitable.

For instance: you say your freedom to have consensual sexual relationships with whomever you want doesn't infringe my freedom, but what about my freedom to be free of fear about the gay agenda? What about my fear about the breakdown of society? My fear of the decline of traditional marriage?

Fear, as opposed to outcomes, does not need to be rational or grounded in reality. Once you acknowledge a right to be free from fear, you are able to justify any tradeoff. I say - no! There is no right to be free of fear. Everybody has the right to be safe, but nobody has the right to feel safe. Adjusting your feeling to reality is everyone's own responsibility. We must not allow people to abdicate the responsibility for their own feelings and create a guilt of others not to cause upset. A free society cannot and must not take responsibility for fears - only for outcomes. Always for outcomes! No jew should ever be kicked in the face, we are completely agreed. But society's obligation to protect Jewish rights ends at their cranium. What happens inside people's heads is nobody's business but their own - for good or for ill.

(Which is of course not to be understood as arguing against mental health services. One must be mentally healthy to be mentally responsible - if and exactly if.)
The Macbooks webcam is a lot lower in quality when compared to even older iPhones, so the image quality would be really low. Also, Macbooks do not have a Neural Engine at the moment, so running advanced machine learning algorithms in real-time is not really an option, when compared with the low quality webcam. The iPhones & iPads, though, have both a Neural Engine and a very high quality camera, and we're making full use of them with our solution.
