Winston is certainly subject to Indian labor laws. Apple should be responsible for the selection of them and the failure of those companies to do the right thing in business with them, too.

If you have to use a stick to align business with decency, use it liberally. Such is the burdensome life of a multinational company with more global pull than some companies.
The federal loan influence is not large enough to cause the problem we're in. The real problem is the demand for college is enormous because it's the only way to a semi-decent living these days.

If you get rid of federal loans all it will mean is private loans fill in to take its place - people still want good paying jobs, so they'll still pay to go to school.

This was an introduction course for digital photography with practical training, so we would get out once a week to shoot with our cameras. A lot of my colleagues had either older second-hand or borrowed cameras. Of course, we would hang around before and after the lessons to chitchat. And I could notice a sentiment from some that they couldn't see the benefits of these cameras, since they could get better results with their phones thanks to built-in processing algorithms (at least what you could see on the little screens). Their cameras were complicated and the automatic settings wouldn't return great results without post-processing. And none of them were really excited by the idea of sitting in front of the computer, editing raw files. But this seems like a must for getting the most out of the camera's sensor, since most cameras aren't doing much or any processing by themselves.

Stagnating wages for the middle class is a well known problem but most economists currently believe that it’s roots lie in the erosion of labor unions, stagnation of minimum wages and fiscal austerity measures. Illegal immigration specifically has been called out as something not making a big enough effect to warrant attention.
> They teach interpersonal skills, social skills, work ethic, self care, professional networking

This suggests that people who don't go to college lack interpersonal skills, work ethic, ability to self care; Seems like all of these are important, especially for the other 34%.

But the other response is, this is a loud siren for nepotism -- and potentially other isms; as opposed to meritocracy, thanks for including "professional networking".

Or do plumbers, car mechanics, home builders, beauticians, and (in trade school, programmers) not have/need work ethic or self care ?

A black plastic boat? I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume they chose black for a reason; many plastics degrade in sunlight; adding carbon black is an effective way to make plastic more resilient to UV. Probably this boat would degrade if left out in the sun for too long, particularly if it wasn't black. But a black boat is going to be pretty damn unpleasant to be on in sunny warm weather anyway; it would be like a solar cooker.

This doesn't seem like the future of boat building to me.
I've been using Fastmail [1] for around five years now. I've been pretty happy with their service and I use it with my own domain name. I find the pricing to be reasonable, and their webmail interface is really fast, and I've found their spam detection to be really good.

This impacts Android operating systems prior to 7.1.1:

> IdenTrust has agreed to issue a 3-year cross-sign for our ISRG Root X1 from their DST Root CA X3. The new cross-sign will be somewhat novel because it extends beyond the expiration of DST Root CA X3. This solution works because Android intentionally does not enforce the expiration dates of certificates used as trust anchors.

Just wanted to also drop a recommendation for soulver, but I have been split between it and Calca (http://calca.io/) which I think is _also_ worth checking out, if you like this kind of hybrid notes/calculator like interface.

The ultimate interface _for me_ would be somewhere in between Calca (which I think has superior support for functions/graphing/logical calculations) and Soulver (which I think has better usability/readability) and a graph-based note-taking system like Obsidian/Zettlr. I'm sure somebody will say "there is a Vim plugin that'll do that" but… yea.

>The intent here is to prevent people from gaming the system by buying insurance only right after a serious diagnosis.

Of course.. but, that's basically why health insurance should be "required" for everyone, because then it's not an issue.

Because if you are not gaming the system, and make a simple mistake by OP, it can be fucking life altering.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. For whatever reason our auto payment stopped on the health insurance on a year-to-year rollover. I didn't notice, everything is on autopay. Sure it was my 'fault', but you know what the result was? I was uninsured for 9 months (except for a garbage plan I could find that I'm sure would have done almost nothing).. if something serious had happened I would have been FUCKED.

So yeah we can sit here and say all this bullshit about eligibility windows. But the truth of the matter is every one of these things just points to why the entire country should be covered.

It's honestly SICK how some people think healthcare should work. And honestly the amount of resources put into all the billing jobs and compliance and all the bullshit is STAGGERING. How much energy is wasted on the bullshit billing systems and rules which are just made to fuck people over who have health problems.

This is 100% how a lot of medical offices and/or insurance operates. For some practices that perform complicated procedures bills will get sent with a "catch-all" sort of approach of all possible scenarios that could have happened and you have to go back and tell them what treatment you actually got.

Insurance companies will also just initially deny claims in the hopes that people won't spend the time to debate it. My wife had to get back injections for a bulged disk and insurance initially denied the claim on the basis that "it was not inhibiting her daily function". The original request from the doctor included the wording of "this is medically necessary because the pain is inhibiting her daily function" because he knew that was their criteria. Insurance still just rejected it because it is easier for them to do that and only accept the claims people fight for. Luckily in this case the doctors office was on our side and called the insurance company to get it approved. The doctor said that this kind of shit happened all the time.

AFAICT, to switch, you go to your current ISP's portal and click on "cancel". Your fibre drop is then disassociated from them, and then when you reboot your router you get back the "which ISP do you want?" page.

The fibre line is pre-existing just like your electrical or natural gas probably is now: there's no re-setting-up that component. You are in a default VLAN that gives you options, and when you sign up the VLAN is changed.

Tesla had like 3-5 years head start on any competitor. Just like the iPhone had a few years head start with the iPod. They got into people's mind, built a brand, and by the time the iPhone came out, and by the time the iPhone became a beast everyone else was playing catch up.

Remember how blackberry was so desperate to make an app store, and it was an absolute heap of shit?

Well Apple basically created an ecosystem where engineers were running apple hardware with a decent development environment. By the time anyone else could compete a few years passed, apple was a clear market winner, and all competitors were just trying to not get decimated. Took android a while before it was a real good apple competitor, and still playing catch up in many ways.

Tesla is in the same boat. Eventually there will be better EVs for less money for specific needs. But Tesla will always be synonymous with EVs. First thing you think about. The thing you judge everything against. Not to fanboy Tesla. That company has many many problems.

Two meta but interesting things to note:

1) A trained FSB operative completely fell for a convincing enough social engineer, armed with nothing but caller-id spoofing software. Even though he was extremely apprehensive in the beginning of the call, he was slowly "eased into" talking top-secret stuff on the non-secure phoneline. This was so incredible that his last words on the call were "I was shocked by your questions. Was this OK that we talked about this on a non-secure line?". That's crazy. What chance do normal people have against such a good social engineer?

2) The amount of pro-Putin commenters in this thread (mind that some of these comments are dead), claiming that this is a CIA false flag or some such.
We agree in full that women face these problems across tech and also in other industries.

However, this is not evidence of a uniquely bad problem in tech which can explain why tech has a gender disparity (which occurs primarily because women
are self-selecting out of it before college) and other areas do not. Tech workers are far less blokey and much more aware/introspective of the issues than finance workers for example, actually the contrast is rather extreme speaking as someone who's worked in both industries, but it has less women proportionately than in finance which is contra to what your hypothesis would predict.

We also have to contend with the fact that women are underrepresented in tech (again due mostly to less women entering technical fields in college, even though they can easily do so if they wanted) across every developed country. Are we to say that chauvinism is such an extensive problem in tech across every single country, and that it's consistently more of a problem than in Law, Finance and almost every other field, and that we can't find a single exception to this in Scandinavia or one miscellaneous country?

I find that dubious and think a genetic explanation (i.e. genetics influencing group means in interests/passions) is a far better fit to the available data, especially since such differences show up at a very young age, across cultures, before significant socialization. Not to mention that these results fit with fairly mainstream science (evolutionary psychology).

This is not an attempt at a value judgement, prescription, or to diminish the very real issues that women face in the workplace (including the tech workplace). I'm just trying to get a descriptive answer to the question "what's the biggest factor behind tech having so few women?".

> they must have had the interest to get there, the opportunities, and yet they're leaving.

I see these as anecdotes. They're interesting and worthy of attention, but it's not good data that compares how many women and how many men are leaving tech when compared to other industries.

-

I would really like to see a survey of 18 year old women who are enrolling into college, and straight up ask them why they didn't choose tech. My money is on them saying they have no interest, and not that they read some article about tech-unique chauvinism. I will await such results keenly.
Worked as a sw dev for a small B2B startup in the midwest that was acquired by a much larger player in the space.

I was an early employee and stayed for many years, knowing that my options may be worth little or even worthless in a liquidity event.

After the acquisition last year, my pre-tax payout ended up around $80K. Not a life changing amount, but more than I was expecting. And it gave me a nice chunk to deploy toward investments.

I knew I wouldn't become rich and I'm happy with how it turned out.
In the EU (https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/human-resources/employ...):

“Equal employment conditions

You must offer your part‑time staff the same employment conditions as full-time workers, including pay, leave, notice periods and other rights and benefits linked to their employment.

Modifying working arrangements

Whenever possible, you should try to accommodate requests from your employees if they want to change their working schedules, such as:

- transferring from full-time to part-time

- transferring from part-time to full-time

- increasing their working hours

You cannot dismiss an employee if they refuse to transfer from part-time to full-time work or vice versa.”

Certainly for desk jobs at larger companies, a request for a four-day working week will be accommodated.
Nice finishing touch. I think this is the shortest it could get in this approach with semantic tags.

I just learnt about insertAdjacentHTML & last variable return of arrow functions. (not using widely due to compatibility)

Also, you're absolutely right about XSS & Button. I thought innerText only removing text, keeping the <li></li> :)

So, learnt some new stuff. Thank you!

In your code, the <ol> initially outputs "undefined". So we need to change it to o=b(x,"ol","") there.

Final code:
a=document;b=(d,t,v)=>(d.append(d=a.createElement(t)),d.innerText=v,d);i=b(x=a.body,"input");b(x,"button","+").onclick=_=>b(o,"li",i.value).onclick=(e)=>e.target.style.textDecoration="line-through";o=b(x,"ol","");b(x,"button","X").onclick=_=>o.innerText=""

>How much risk is the average employee taking on, compared with the investors who are supplying capital so the business can operate and scale?

I'd say it's a pretty big risk to become unemployed, especially where the welfare system can be unstable, and you have dependents to support. The investor, at worst, will have to take a "labour" job. The worker, at worst, will be food and shelter insecure.

>By all means go and start your own company if you think labor is the only part of the equation

That's not really a valid response to a criticism of the system which necessarily operates with the division of capital and labour. Obviously you need money; that's not what is in dispute here.

Capital and labour are integral parts of the equation, but the social function of an owner of capital who commands an army of labourers and sells the goods for profit is arguably not. Production can happen (and has happened) outside that social relationship.
You still seems to believe that they're competent enough to create believable "unfortunate accident". The point of using nerve agent is that Kremlin believed it to be untraceable. It's very much opposite of polonium.

Obviously it's just my view, but to give you an example. Nemtsov was one of old Russian political leader who been neither popular nor real danger to regime end up just shoot right in front of Kremlin. And it's caused a lot of backslash and place of his death is still PITA for Putin regime.

Navalny is more popular by two orders of magnitude at least. On top of that everyone know that he's being watched literally 24/7. If he die in suspicios car accident or something like that it's might actually trigger a lot of bad things or might finally put some real beneficiaries of regime (like oligarchs, kids and other family members) under sanctions.

It's not that hard to get someone killed in Russia, but really this is not Stalin's totalitarian country and no one want risk losing all their capital and property in western countries. On other side anyone can die of heart attack during flight and it's impossibly hard to prove it was poisoning afterwards.

I really think you need to reconsider your stance on private colleges..

For example, BYU and BYU-Idaho provide affordable education for tens of thousands of students every year. Sure they're religious, but they serve as price competition to state schools in the area, keeping prices down across the state of Utah.

Secondly, the reason things are so expensive is because the federal government gives loans to everyone, driving up prices. Why would public colleges ever cease their continuous tuition increases if the government gives unlimited loans to anyone, regardless of the price? The federal government should just give a set amount per year to states that the states can allocate among their universities, so that they can continue operating, and then get rid of government funded loans.

With the government funding the schools directly, they will have enough to set up lower cost programs and then be forced to compete for the lower amount of dollars provided by students, driving down prices.

Also, the federal government should put a condition on this money that if a college takes it, they have to charge the same for in state and out of state tuition, creating a more national, competitive market for students in order to bring prices down.

Maybe we'd see more schools go to a partial or full online model, which could really drive prices down. Honestly part of the federal money could be conditioned on creating online programs which are even cheaper for students.

I did an 83b when stock options were granted since I was a very early employee. Paid $30 for 30,000 shares, which then went through a 10-to-1 split, so I had 300,000 shares. But, in the end, we went bankrupt and I received nothing. Wasn't out any real money and the experience alone was worth it.

They can, just not right away. An Assistant Prof. in Philadelphia I had interviewed with for a postdoc position told me that since his lab is new, the school won't let him recruit PhD students for the first year. He can take postdocs and trainees, though.

I think there's also a practical problem in attracting students to a new lab. Another Assistant Prof I'd interviewed with at a premier research institute in New York had established her lab over 3 years ago, and still hadn't managed to recruit either a PhD student or any postdocs. She may be an outlier, of course.
Price transparency would help, but it wouldn’t solve the duress problem. After a car crash we all want to go to the nearest hospital rather than the most price efficient one.
So why are they not doing it now? There are three possible explanations:

1. They haven't thought of it.

2. They underestimate how profitable it would be.

3. It would be less profitable than what they're doing now.

Option 1 seems ridiculous. Option 2 is possible if Facebook is blinded by corporate inertia, or if enough people working directly on the ads feel threatened. But there are a lot of smart people working there, who stand to make a lot of money by increasing profits.

So I'm going with option 3. They don't do it because spying on everyone is more profitable.
To be fair, it’s probably not Ruby, but the clever linguists I was working with 2008-2012 era.

Everyone brought their preferred syntax and there was much less of a “let’s solve the problem, not be clever” sentiment back then.

That said, Python almost makes such things impossible. Decorator patterns are the only thing I can think of in Python that ever made me really think.

6 to one, half dozen to another. How we start out thinking about problems has an impact on what syntax works for us best later on. I’m in my 40s and started in electronics, designing boards that shipped in Nortel kit.
