Hey this is great! I've been looking for a decent poll site like this!

Some things I would like:

Could you randomize the initial order to avoid donkey votes?

I'd like it if there was an option to allow invited participants to add their own choices. For communal voting like "where shall we have breakfast" letting people add things would be good.

Also it would be nice to be able to drag some of the choices into a "I'm not voting for this" box or something. Or maybe just start all the options in the "I'm not voting for this" box and let people move them over? Not sure what would be easier.

Anyway thanks for making this.
It's different, though maybe native English speakers will struggle because there is no equivalent of "é".

"et", "è", "ai" are all pronounced the same. Similar to the "e" in "best".

For "é" and "er" I struggle to find a definite English equivalent sound. Sometimes "a" is close, but it depends on the accent of the speaker. Maybe the best example is just the last "é" when pronouncing "Beyoncé" or "fiancée"

> 60% say they haven't been able to renegotiate their leases with their landlords.

The US urban real estate market is in a huge bubble driven by foreign speculators. Lowering the rents would reveal these properties to not be worth anywhere near what they are currently valued at, so the landlords let storefronts of failed businesses sit empty for years instead of lowering the rent one cent. This hopefully will be the trigger that finally makes that untenable, but I'm sure everything will be done to stop that from happening as the New York real estate market is particularly well known as one of the most politically connected and corrupt industries in the United States.

> Landlords are not going to be patient much longer," said Schneider. "There needs to be relief for landlords too

This whole situation is artificial. A large fraction of landlords are holding out for a government bailout and dont care if they have to put a few small businesses under to create a sense of urgency. Many landlords are huge holding companies. Ultimately, this is just some wealthy investors who are refusing to take a hit to their assets the way workers and small business owners already have.

> a $120 billion fund to aid small and locally-owned restaurants, and cover the difference between revenues from 2019 and

This is just a bailout for landlords because the rents are what is shuttering the restaurants. Tax payers should not be on the hook for maintaining the sky high returns of real estate investors.
My thought exactly. Maybe they felt they couldn't credit the video without opening up to some sort of lawsuit?

Gotta be honest, I installed the game tonight under DOSBox thinking I would give thirty-something, seasoned engineer me another crack at decoding the file format. But then, those UFOs kept landing and I mean, somebody had to do something about it. And then all of a sudden my kids were like "daddy where are you" and the file format (and UFOs) once again had to wait for another day...
The issue is that if there is a 60/40 state, if the party holding the 60% decided to give 40% of the electoral college members to the smaller party, they'd lose 40% of a state's college members for little gain. Who would harm themselves? Only places that have a long term difference in legislature and presidential election votes would consider it. That being said, Texas could strike a deal with California or something that they both implement it at the same time. If the right states made a deal, nothing would change in the makeup of the parties, and the dealmaking states would attract more attention from presidential candidates trying to care for their issues.

Well said.

People are so used to shows and popular voices pushing agendas that it seems they're flummoxed when one isn't doing that. Apparently under the impression that Rogan is endorsing everything his guests say and that his listeners just blindly absorb/repeat.

But he isn't pushing an agenda, isn't telling you what to think, doesn't filter by ideology. He's just having conversations with people that he thinks are interesting and treats them respectfully, like a friend would in real life. That's why it resonates, is refreshing, and will continue to mystify those that expect everything to fit neatly in a pre-defined, pre-approved box.

I've been building startups for 15 years using .NET

It's incredibly fast and productive and has allowed me to create more as a single-person than entire teams using other languages. That still remains true today, even more so as it removes many of the limitations of the Windows-only desktop framework.

Even if you can't use C#/.NET for all the functionality you need, there are many ways to interface with other stacks from function calls, inter-process communication, RPC frameworks, etc. It's well-supported and very common now with the rise of microservices anyway. For AI/ML specifically, I suggest looking at the Machine Learning docs which list plenty of projects like ML.NET and integrations for Tensorflow and Spark.

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/machinelearning-ai/
Thank you for chiming in. Interestingly enough, I ran across your startup not long ago, when exploring ML/AI landscape of the .NET ecosystem. Good luck with your venture. By the way, do you have plans to support other popular frameworks beyond TensorFlow? Just curious.

Model 3 was hyped as $35k car, with an additional $7.5k tax credit on top of that for early adopters. In reality it's $45-50k car. What they do offer for $35k is purely to tick the box (and also when it finally arrived tax breaks were long gone for Tesla).

If history repeats itself this new model will be first true $35k Tesla.

Hiring Cheap Overseas Developers
Hi all, I've personally messaged over 160 overseas companies from india, pakistan, russia, china to compare prices and found the best cost effective choice for startups with low funds. I used this overseas company to hire developers to help us iterate and build our product quickly!

They have:

- Js
- wordpress
- shopify
- ios/swift
- android
- angular
- php
- laravel

Developers for startups from $5 to $16/hr Feel free to reach out to me at michaelhireitem@gmail.com and I can make an personal intro. They are going to offer goods rates for SS founders.

That is not true at all. Singapore is a country of law and order.

They have been invited to a country as a temporary worker to do a specific job.

Saying you have to go home if you get fired is not inhuman.

I have worked offshore and had my contract canceled - it sucks but it’s not inhuman.
Thank you, I'll give it a try.
I've so often needed to understand what a library does when I call a function or use native or third-party class. In PyCharm or IntelliJ I can easily set a breakpoint at the call and dive into that third-party implementation. IntelliJ even will download and index the original Java source. No plain editor is going to give you that. The IDEs also allow code search in the vast sea of third party code, with approximate matching. If I only vaguely remember the function or class name I need, the JetBrains IDEs are going to find them for me.

Just two among many reasons to use IDEs.
That is the main problem with Small Tech. People suddenly lose interest.

Fair point. I kept it simple.

Big hammer.
1. People who do most of their work in the terminal and don't need a full IDE for editing their config files. A subset of those imo would be those who have lots of different servers they ssh into and like to have the same (or similar) editor everywhere. (vi and vim for example)

2. They like a more lightweight editor. Being able to configure anything relatively easily if you know what you're doing would probably also fill into this.

3. People who primarily use keyboard based navigation and like not having to move their hands as often. I count myself to this group, as I recently discovered doom-emacs and absolutely love the keybindings it has. (vim keys for navigation. Functions are handled by the spacebar and a key combination)
Vue vs. React: What's the Best Choice for Startups?
You know what Joe is? Joe is that fun friend I had in high school that I could just shoot the shit with. He's that dude I got high with in university and discussed all manner of topics with. Joe is the person who in my professional world, does not (and possibly cannot) exist.

I miss the Joes in my life, and I think that's what originally led to me picking up his podcast. Sometimes I'm just tired of all the engineering discussions and want to enjoy something _else_. I didn't listen to him because of some deep seated desire to push against "the left's" control of speech, or because I thought he was a particularly polished interviewer. No, I could tell from the beginning he was way too into pseudoscience and that a lot of his guests were not well informed. But again, it was something different, and something interesting to think about. Something that in my day to day I would never consider, even if what's espoused on his podcast is complete bologna. It's almost a form of creative thinking.

Every now and then, however, he would say things that didn't sit well with me. But I liked Joe, and I could ignore a few small misgivings, we're all human after all, right? However, as time passed, these small things kept piling up. Like when he had a Native lawyer on who wanted to speak about the atrocities committed against her people and all Joe wanted to do was grill her about what great bloodthirsty warriors the Comanche were. Or when he asked Owen Smith what the benefit of having a woman of color in the Vice President's seat would be.

Eventually, after all the misinformation about corona started, I just couldn't look away from the pile. It had just gotten too big. And given the possible seriousness of the situation, I think it's reasonable to hold people like Joe responsible for the misinformation they spread. And for me, he failed.

I still have a soft spot on my heart for Joe, but I just can't listen to him anymore.

IntelliJ performs poorly if you have a many-module project with multiple independent `pom.xml` or gradle files on that Mac config you described. It does require tuning in this scenario to ensure that its Maven and Gradle imports do not fail and leave you unable to resolve your types. If you have a generate-source step you're going to be in even more trouble.
Oh man, I had completely forgotten about that. I was so excited about the project when it was announced (I was at pretty much the perfect age to get into following free software projects), and used it on Windows for years. It was actually a pretty decent alternative to using iTunes for a while, which was pretty slow and flaky on Windows, at least at the time.

Pretty sure I contributed an add-on or some code, or something. Also followed Nightingale for a while, mentioned by a sibling comment.
I have a feeling spam filters are less and less effective, I get dozens of spam emails every day delivered to my inbox. Is it really that spammers are outsmarting filters? Is it maybe that tech companies stopped investing in spam filtering?
This seems like a cool tool, but if you're starting from scratch you can avoid breaking changes like this by using codegen tools that generate client code guaranteed to conform to what an API provides...and if it's a typed language you can instantly spot these kind of backwards compatibility issues when you regenerate the client code.

We use gql + apollo codegen + typescript + CI tests and haven't had a breaking API change like this in three years
I enjoy the Joe Rogan podcast because it is unique in the current world of media.

The host is a comedian and a MMA commentator, yet he talks to people from all walks of life, ranging from politicians, scientists to musicians and instagram celebrities. He doesn’t have any strong political agenda or affiliating with certain groups. He’s a regular dude just curious about other people’s life and views, and really gave his quests enough room to express themselves. This is important to many of us, that we want a platform where we can see the real, the human side of the guests, letting them explain themselves, rather than just snippets of soundbites clipped with different intentions by different groups, or 2-minute quick debates that’s often confusing than informative. That’s what makes the show more trustworthy to some people than some big networks.

There are warts that I frown upon as well. I disagree with some of this diets and views on intravenous supplements and stem cell treatment. And I never listen to his shows about aliens. But I have come to acceptance that aren’t and will not be a perfect show. The balance between informative and entertainment and eye-opening is quite a compromise. I think an educated person should treat the platform as a source of information, rather than THE source of information.

I guess what I really appreciate about the show is that people with vastly different views can still chat, drink and have a good time. For example, as someone outside US, I nevered had a good impression of Bernie Sanders until I watched the show seeing him talk and reason. I never imagined Richard Dawkins’s response about consuming weed and mushroom. I have learned a lot from Joe about being an interviewer on how to get along with people you don’t fully agree with, especially on how to handles some of his consipiracy-loaded friend. Many of the TV interviews are too “heated” and “confrontational” for my liking. Sometimes I just enjoy listening to some silly and relaxing conversations. Bullshit from the guests can be distinguished without the interviewer actually calling them out on the show.

In the age of chaos and cancelling, I really appreciate such a platform. I hope the deal with Spotify will not direct the show to a narrower road. As his popularity rises and being closer to the political war zone, I wish him and the show good luck.
"There is no evidence in the Rigveda for an elaborate, much-subdivided and overarching caste system".

Except my caste clearly has distinct disadvantages whereas "white privilege" is justified with unequal outcomes. There's causation with caste, but poor justification beyond correlation with "white privilege" other than the so often repeated but flawed study about call-back rates being higher for white candidates.

In other words: caste-based discrimination is real, and white privilege just seems like a ghost

This is also largely due to the rise in popularity of JavaScript. I still feel that the IntelliJ editors are still superior, and while it cost money it's not even a stop in the bucket compared to the productivity gains that come with their editors
Yeah, I never understood the PDF hate at all when I only used Macs. They were snappy, had smooth scaling, editing them wasn't too hard, and scrolling was smooth. It was a fine way to read documents or even books on a computer.

Then I had to use Windows. Good god, PDFs are horrible here. No matter what I use, every application is horrible in its own unique ways. Nothing can compare to the default software provided for free with Macs. I'd prefer to manage PDFs on my phone than my work computer.

If Mozilla can help people edit PDFs to any extent, they're doing the world a service.
Then we find ourselves on a slippery-slope. People choose to waste time on Facebook. Then one could argue, people choose to sift through spam. People choose to use email. People choose to use computers. Etc.
