Knowing that the target audience for this is developers (for the most part), the decision to make it a javascript application in the first place instead of rendering from the server seems like overkill, at least IMO.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really care about fewer page reloads or having multiple animations and interactivity. I understand why those can have an impact on end users and so I do think that SPAs have their place, but I'd much rather the interface was rendered from the server and worked through links if it means it'll work faster. In fact, half the time I'm not even using the web interface; I'm using the SDKs.

I think it's very unfair to give someone money and then demand it back. It puts people in awful situations financially. I know people that have been ruined via this when it happened with their taxes (and they weren't doing anything illegial) or unemployment.
>I disagree with your assessment that Texas has wide acceptance for opposing viewpoints, at least out in the suburbs where I grew up. If you were not religious and conservative (I have my own anecdotes), you did not fit in. Only when I went to college in a college town did people largely seem to want to live and let live. Sure, inside the larger cities it is more cosmopolitan...

Congrats on shipping!

I think being privacy first as a company is great, but I'd like to understand a bit what that actually means in terms of differentiation. My assumption is that many players in this space (particularly those targeting families) are not selling my data. Is that a false assumption? If so, say so on the landing page. If not, how are you different?

Not trying to be a party pooper, just know from my experience building my own company these days that not being crystal clear on differentiation when playing in crowded spaces gets you beat up.
The key is to get out and keep your salary. If your job does go full WFH, you can most likely keep your salary and then move, but then if you want to find a new job in a couple years, finding that same SF salary will be much tougher. I live in Dallas and have friends in Austin. 6 figure jobs are available, but you won't find many (if any) of these 180-200+ type jobs outside SF and NYC.

Granted, $120k-150 for a single earner is plenty to live a good life in Texas, even in the cities (as long as you don't have excessive personal debts). Something to think about that I'm sure you've probably considered.

2) Trump saying that neo-nazis and white supremacists are "fine people" hoax.

3) Trump recommending people "inject bleach" hoax.

> What factors make you want to get out?

One of the most remarkable differences between most of Europe to most of North America is average physical space per person. That difference manifests itself in myriads of ways, from less regulation to being less in your neighbor’s face all the time. It’s just easier to live and let live when you’re a little farther apart.

And I think that is attractive to a percentage of our species, regardless of our birthplace. And being closer together is more attractive to another percentage of our species, as witnessed by people who move from North America to Europe.
>There has never, at any time, been any reasonable expectation of getting practical, commercial power from magnetic-confinement hot-neutron fusion.

Not true. The existence of privately-funded fusion efforts implies that some people think there is a reasonable expectation, and are willing to put money behind it. This costing study suggests that $2-6/W could be achievable for some fusion concepts[0]. Using some rough calculations, that would translate to $20-60/(MW*hr), which is competitive.

>Any practical fusion plant would have to absolutely huge -- an order of magnitude bigger than the biggest fission plant.

Not necessarily. Fission power plans with low power density have been operated, and may even be desirable from a safety standpoint. The current crop of small modular reactors for fission seems to target power densities in the range of 1-10MW/m^3, rather than the 50-100 MW/m^3 of PWR reactors. This suggests that reduced power density may pay off in terms of reducing the costs associated with risk mitigation (highly redundant systems, large containment structures, etc). Fusion reactors could probably get to the 1-10MW/m^3 range.

> "Break-even" is nowhere near enough to get practical power out

Yes, there's a distinction between 'scientific breakeven' of gain > 1, and 'engineering breakeven' of gain > 10 (ish) which is necessary to have net power output. But we gotta crawl before we can run. It's an important milestone along the way.

>Tokamak fusion research is, first, foremost, and always, a jobs program to maintain a population of high-neutron-flux physicists

Not really -- the high-energy-density plasma physics research (which is not tokamak-related at all) is more relevant in terms of producing people with the skills to work on weapons.

> They need enough billions poured into the project to make it politically self-sustaining, where no amount of failure can ever threaten its funding, because so much has already been sunk that it would be too embarrassing to admit failure.

I'll admit that I see aspects of this, particularly with the failure of NSTX-U & politcally-motivated decision to repair it. However, what I mostly see with the DOE has been trying to get the most of the 'sunk costs' by slowly ramping down the program (ie, not investing in new devices to replace old ones that are shuttered). I suspect that Synakowski's reasoning was: "if a breakthrough happens somewhere around the world, it's worth having a skeleton program in the US that can be ramped up to take advantage of it at that time." Now that Van Dam has taken over, I think we may be seeing more optimism & willingness to invest, particularly if that means partnering with industry (which is trending in Washington).

> No, you can't change the license of existing code that you don't hold copyright of...

It's not that simple, see: Modifying and Distributing Files Licensed Under Both the MPL and (L)GPL.

Once an MPL-licensed file has been distributed as part of a larger (L)GPL-licensed work, third parties who receive the file may use and redistribute the file under the terms of either license. As a result, new modifications can be provided to recipients under the terms of both licenses, or solely under the terms of the (L)GPL.

> So if you want copyleft protection, you should go for a strong copyleft license...

True, but MPLv2 with incompatibility clause (or EPLv2) prevents stronger copyleft, which has some nice properties whilst also retaining a weak "file-level" copyleft (which enterprises are okay with).
I've been thinking about this in my spare time for a while, under the working title "General Magic License"+. I think it's a good way (the only way) to reason about the whole "who pays for open source development?" problem.
If you can define the terms of that license, and figure out how to get licensors to follow the terms, and copyright owners to license their code under it, then <boom>. Also it may be possible to prove the converse -- that it's impossible to define such a license. Then we can all get back to work on proprietary software, or at least know we're not going to get paid.

+Yes, I know.

Do we add restrictions to voting to weed out people who habitually vote anti-facts? No. Disenfranchisement.

Do we make fake news illegal? No. Censorship leading to state run media.

Do we have a civil war because it's so bad that people are being evicted and dying of starvation because their neighbors are being convinced by propaganda that they're less than? Hopefully not.

So we're kind of left with this option. We're stuck with speaking with our wallets through corporations because our voices in government have been corrupted.

It sucks.

> then disprove them

How many times? This is an exploitable plan. Simply refuse to accept all evidence disproving claims that the election was stolen and continue to demand additional debate forever. Your method would only work if people were actually spreading these ideas in good faith. "Debate" instead becomes a hijacked channel for people to spread propaganda until the rest of time.
Most crucially, resisting arrest is only dismissed if it's in conjunction with one of the misdemeanors listed above. So for instance, if a sex worker was arrested for loitering, and resisting arrest, both the loitering and the resisting arrest charge would be dismissed. But if she hit the cop, she'd still be charged, and if she resisted arrest after actual prostitution she'd be charged with both.

These claims have been made on an ongoing basis for a month -- arguably more than a month, since Trump and his allies spent time before the election promoting the idea that Trump losing is itself de facto evidence of fraud. And they keep being disproven. Over, and over, and over.

At what point is it okay for a publisher -- or whatever we wish to call YouTube -- to say "enough is enough"? Must any and all arguments be endlessly re-litigated on any platform?
Once again, you're not linking to a source document that explicitly presents evidence. In fact there are clearly more than a hundred pages about Trump and Russians engaging in activity around the 2016 campaign.

You link to a partisan Senator who, by the way contributed to the Donald Trump campaign, says he found no-evidence.

The thought crime here is leaning into the weasel-word of "collusion" when it isn't clearly defined by Rubio or even the report or "Russian government" to cop out of the deep involvement of ex-spies and oligarchs out of Russia.

I agree with your overall sentiment, to each their own. There are definitely a good number of valid reasons for why someone would choose to stay in EU despite lower salary. However, there is one thing you mentioned I have an issue with.

>Your headline salary in the US is higher but disposable income is often lower

Even rough napkin math doesn't check out here. Let's say you are a senior engineer in Bay Area/SF (one of the most expensive places to live in the US, so I am not going for some outliers like Austin or Seattle where the math ends up being even more in favor of the employee), and you make $300k/yr total comp at one of the big tech companies (which isn't even that good for a senior engineer at Google/Netflix/Dropbox/Uber/etc., this is rather a low end of the comp at that level at those companies, https://levels.fyi has a pretty accurate data on compensation that matches with what I've seen in real life myself). I used one of the online calculators to see how much you take home after taxes in CA (https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-paycheck-calculator#...), it came out to around $7.5k semi-monthly or $15k/mo.

So you get $15k in cash every month after taxes. Let's say you want to live on your own in a new really nice 1bd apartment in the middle of the city. I will overestimate and say that you will pay $5k/mo on rent+utilities. After all of that, you got $10k left. Let's say you spend $2k/mo on food and other various random small expenses (again, overestimating here for the sake of the argument, realistically you will spend much less on both food and housing). After all of that you got $8k of disposable income left, and that's while living a very good quality of life (most engineers I know in Bay Area who make that much don't spend even nearly this much on housing and normal expenses btw, they are putting it in savings/401k/etc. in hopes of retiring early and such). Employer-provided insurance is usually amazing. My personal one is fully paid for by employer, and my out of pocket yearly maximum is $2.5k (so even in the worst case scenario, I won't ever spend more than that in a calendar year on health expenses). Also, most of the people in senior positions at those companies I listed make noticeably more than $300k/mo.

I guess the bottom line is, is there even a way in EU to have $8k+/mo of disposable income as an IC software dev? How difficult is it to make it happen? From my experience in the Bay Area and Seattle, it isn't the easiest thing on earth, and not everyone in those places makes that much, but it is far from "special" or rare.
No, only if your Overton window is as wide as the set of expressed political opinions through history.
The only thing we agree on is that the items in the previous post are examples of wage theft.

You've convinced me that you are trolling. You haven't addressed any arguments or provided any meaningful support to your pretty extreme claims. Your proposed solution, even if it were effective, would exclude large numbers of non-tipped employees.

Even if, as you assert without evidence, the various labor boards around the country are ineffective, providing them with the funding that would otherwise go to tipped employees would be a much better solution than tipping. It would simultaneously remove resources from thieving employers, make them easier to identify, make it harder for them to find labor, and provide greater resources for those trying to stop them.

She had toxic relationship with her employer (google). She wrote a paper about Google's deep learning nlp google considered it a bad publicity. They asked her to include references for her claim. she gave precondition. if precondition is not met she would resign.

that's the whole story.
At the moment Doordash is an elaborate scheme to funnel VC money to the restaurant/grocery business. So yes, it's good for customers and those businesses now. But their valuation implies that at some point that's going to change and they're going to start extracting ~$10 billion a year in value. It's hard to see how they're going to do that in a way that ultimately is good for customers.
I agree with you here, but I don't even think fascism is used interchangeably with authoritarianism. That would be a good start. Fascism has basically begun to mean "anything outside of the far left orthodoxy." People were calling Trump a fascist for his entire presidency, when the main thing that characterized his presidency was irresponsible ANTI-authoritarianism. His administration deregulated and defunded public institutions. Lowering taxes, pulling back business regulations, pulling out of climate agreements and pulling back restrictions on energy production. I'm not saying these things are good or bad, they're just explicitly anti-authoritarian, and the precise opposite of fascism. Questioning the election results were the first fascist-adjacent action taken that weren't policies shared by the left, such as trade regulations.
>Let's be clear: there was no widespread election fraud, certainly not by large enough margins to overturn the election

There's evidence to the contrary that is yet to be addressed. There may very well be too little voter fraud to matter, but at the moment, no one can say that with confidence if they are paying attention to the allegations.

If Youtube feels obligated to correct what it thinks are misconceptions, they can present their arguments and evidence that contradict current allegations. They should hire a team of lawyers to put together the most up to date refutations of claims, and post that on relevant videos.

Straight censorship is treating the general public like children. Arguably, it's treating the public like livestock. Domesticating us for ad revenue.

No. I wrote it just now.
When Facebook first went public, an older relative asked me if he should invest in Facebook. My only insight was being an internet user at the time and I said no, there was no reason that Facebook wouldn’t be another MySpace. Facebook's only value was their users and users were historically very finicky and moved around platforms at will. I argued that Facebook would make no money and wouldn’t be around in a couple of years. This obviously turned out wildly wrong but I always thought the user moat was always an issue and Facebook’s downfall would be related to it. I guess what this lawsuit says is that they essentially just bought their way out of people platform jumping.
