It's not a mystery to me. If I want to excel at my job, I have to be willing to tell my boss he's full of shit and then elbow someone else out of line to get my idea implemented. This is not what I practiced in school for all that time and it's not what I get rewarded for in the rest of my life.

Men get the "benefit" of bimodal outcomes, in that they're disproportionately represented in the highest-paying jobs and in prison. Women get the steady middle, doing what needs to be done but less big risk/big reward. I'm dissatisfied with it on both sides. A system in which 'overactive' boys (or kids more generally) are not served well is not good, and a system that optimizes for the wrong outcome for 'good' girls is not good. It's clearly not doing that well for America given our susceptibility to mis- and disinformation and our need to import skills rather than effectively developing talent here.

Taiwan and Korea both trade extensively with China. Ok so you buy their products instead of China. They grow richer and use that money to trade more with China.

Until you can stop trade between Taiwan/Korea with China, there is no point in buying those parts instead of Chinese parts.

That money will eventually be recycled towards China.

Probably we are following the Wikipedia standard, since most if not all the libraries that everyone uses to parse and produce ISO dates were written by people that read Wikipedia and not by people that bought the standard.

The problem with "closed" standard is that most people if they have to pay for something they find other way, and assume the standard by reading other sources, Wikipedia, the implementation of some library that is supposed to implement the standard, or the drafts of the standard (like it's done with the C standard, do you assume that every developer of gcc have bought the standard?).

A standard isn't a standard because someone wrote a paper and sold it, a standard is a standard if it's used by people. And it happens that since standards are not freely available people makes things that are close but not really conform to the standard, and these things because the de-facto standard. And you developer you have to support these cases.

Let's say ISO8601, there are a ton of applications that produces dates that are similar to ISO8601 format but not quite like it. And that you must support because they are so common... and then you find piece of codes that tries to interpret a date in various ways trying to compensate for minor standard errors. It's a mess that could have been avoided if the standard document were really open.

> You seem to think that they are so simple, that they should be free.

I don't think anyone is claiming that; the opposite of subscription SaaS is not freeware. At some point companies realized that they could have more predictable, long-term, higher revenue streams if instead of selling you a bit of client-side software a single time (with uncertain future business from upgrades), they sold you a subscription to their software, which is often (unnecessarily?) cloud-based. This all feels weird to those of us who have been around for a while and got used to buying software the "old way".

Building a cloud/web-based app means it's (mostly) effortlessly multi-platform. You don't have to build separate apps for Windows, Mac, and (occasionally) Linux. (But there's also the e.g. Electron option.) And meanwhile, you can push bugfixes and new features out to your customers near-instantly. Your release cycles are small, and are often measured in days or weeks, not quarters or years. You can justify charging on a subscription model because you are constantly working for your customers. On the flip side, if a customer wants to cancel their subscription, what happens to any data generated with your app? If it's in a proprietary format, IMO it's unethical to hold a user's data hostage like that.

Selling software by the download is a hard business to be in, and the incentives are not always aligned well. You're expected to fix bugs and release patch versions for "free". But usually you can charge for new major version upgrades. So the incentive is to skimp on bugfixes and instead work on new, big features. Beyond that, there's an incentive to make big, sweeping changes to your app so you can justify calling it a new major release, which triggers an upgrade fee, even if those changes don't actually benefit users. (Then again, this phenomenon, for some reason, exists with subscription apps too.)

But many people just see it as a money grab, especially for products that used to not require a subscription. In 1998 I could go and buy a copy of MS Office in a box from my local store, and it was then mine. I could use it as long as I could find an OS that would run it. Likely I could still run it today under wine or something if I still had a copy. But now we have Office 365. I have to sign up for a subscription. If at any point I want to cancel, I can't use the software anymore. The data I've created with it is still mine, but I have to deal with imperfect format conversions done by other office apps. You could perhaps draw a similar parallel with Adobe's creative software.

Regarding money, I think there's also an aversion to having to pay indefinitely. Sure, MS Office was expensive to buy, at several hundred dollars or whatever it was. But when I forked over that cash, I knew I was done paying for that version. Even if the SaaS version is priced at a few dollars a month, and I'm unlikely to ever subscribe long enough to pay the old "full price", there's still an irrational feeling of getting a raw deal. I think most people are more comfortable with known, one-time costs than with recurring costs, which may change if the company later decides to charge more.

> it's basically a single-language Kubernetes

Well, yes and no.

By using Kubernetes, you get a scalable infrastructure.
By using OTP/Akka, you get a scalable application.

While there is common problems to both domains, they are still 2 different domains.

For example, using only Kubernetes, you won't have the ability to react to a Pod restart within your application (unless your application is aware of Kubernetes).

Using only OTP/Akka, you still need a workflow for deployment and infrastructure management, and you still need to implement node discover for clustering.

NB: For Elixir, you have libcluster[1] that can use different strategies for node discovery, including using a Kubernetes Service to discover the nodes (as Pods).

EDIT: Using Kubernetes, libcluster, and Horde[2], you get the best of both worlds IMHO.

There is no requirement that the colonizers be from a single country. The US is certainly playing part in the colonization by funding Israel. The UK also played a huge role in the creation of Israel. The point is that the colonizers of Israel were not from Palestine, then they created a nation over the top of someone else's land and have aggressively expanded the borders of that nation.

I think that's a pretty apt description actually. You have to invade a place before you colonize it.

There's a budding problem for gender equality growing, and it's not the usual story.

We're not quite ready to talk about it openly though, without the stated cause being toxic masculinity or something - as if that's a problem that has been getting worse, not better, and is somehow only now taking its biggest toll on boys under 15 (and even under 5).

Alas, the answer must be doubling-down on that narrative and pumping the boys who can't function like girls full of ADHD meds - I was on Ritalin before age 12, and it does "solve the problem" to a workable enough degree for everyone to keep on keeping on.

I feel for business owners today, reviews are gamed more than ever and as a result have become much less valuable, harder to use for consumers, and with this fraud a few bad reviews can tarnish what is an unblemished customer service record. When making purchases i find i skip over dozens of reviews to find one or two that have some quality to them i can relate to based on the product and my expectations. When i see a really bad review i weigh it for much less than i used to especially if it lacks all the necessary components of a review. Does anyone else do this? Have you noticed that some reviews just look the same even the bad ones?

The spam problem helped kill independent blogging by driving bloggers to centralized hosting.

The great thing about MovableType, b2, and eventually WordPress was that pretty much anyone could install it on a shell account and set up a fairly sophisticated publishing system. The lousy thing about MT and WordPress was that it was fairly easy to write automated tools to spam comments and trackbacks and now your unsophisticated bloggers were trying to become DBAs and understand the nuanced differences between MyISAM and and InnoDB tables and locking and…oh…it was easier to migrate to blogger and TypePad and eventually Tumblr/Facebook.

What I like about the Erlang platform is that it seems like it has the most sensible “microservice” story: deploy your language runtime to all the nodes of a cluster and then configure distribution in code. Lambdas, containers, etc. all push this stuff outside your code into deployment tooling that is, inevitably, less pleasant to manage than your codebase.

> I've only ever seen take-home challenges in the 1-4 hour range.

For college hiring, that's on top of a busy schedule (and everyone interviews roughly at the same time). So the take-homes add up.

And it's a long time commitment from the candidate but a potentially very short one from the employer (run some automatic grading/testing then ghost the candidate). Going to an on-site and meeting engineers shows more commitment on the employer's side (talking to the candidate is worth 2 hours of an engineer's time).

But if you have a good completion rate for your take-home, that's great.
I think you should try to interview at a few of those places, then you'll understand why everyone focuses on the algo parts. If you fail one interview type, it's very rare that you will get an offer, and it pisses you off that you failed one interview because it was some left field random algo question that you haven't encountered before.

The rest of the interview types are fairly easy to prepare for, you almost do not have to, just do a few interview loops with your lower priority companies and your mostly good.

The statement "80 cts on the dollar for the same work" is a falsehood. Simple as that. If people cannot get these simple facts right, I will not trust the rest they are saying.

Unfortunately, the companies doing this gain advantage for their apparent excellent service but often provide a poor customer experience. It just raises people's expectations which will not be satisfied and create the false idea that their competitors must be worse for their lower rating. This whole problem is damaging the market.
Today business is all about reviews and search results. You need to be in the top of your segment and have good reviews. You have to manipulate the reviews this or that way and have a budget for that.

>How many years of secure operation?

I don't believe this is a way of validating the security of a blockchain. Consider the turkey problem as stated in "THE BLACK SWAN" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: "A Turkey is fed for 1000 days by a butcher. Every day confirms to the turkey (and the turkey's economics department, and its risk management department and its analytics department ...) that in fact the butcher loves turkeys. Every day brings more confidence to the statement. Until one day the Turkey is ripe for Thanks Giving".

You may very well be correct but I don't think length of time without a fatal error is a valid metric.

>Jewish immigration, and actively fighting against the Jewish defense groups that were to be the Jews' only defense against the Arabs who attacked them once the Brits left in 1948:

Yes, while they were fine maintaining their empire they opposed a Jewish state. Sometime during or after the war their policy shifted as they would rather not give such prime land over to a group certain to be bitter over their very recent mistreatment. Better to support the colonization of outsiders and make them dependent on you militarily.

And as for the US, you ignore their role in stopping the 1948 war, their role in the Tripartite alliance, and Kennedy's beginning of the military alliance.

It will not, because it doesn't impact the genetic/hereditary factors in any way. Getting your body in shape does not cure actual ADHD. Exercise makes it at best manageable for the low-severity cases.

> In a darker vision, the future society will be more heavily dependent on drugs, regardless of age.

It's kind of a given, until we transition to post-drug era, where we inject our bodies with nanobots that fix what wasn't already fixed by genetic engineering of the gametes.

Until then, I think it's worth re-evaluating this view while replacing "ADHD" with "diabetes" or "hypertension" or "rheumatism" or "asthma" or... insert any persistent and disruptive condition a person may suffer from regardless of the shape in which they keep their body. We should apply drugs where they help more than they harm, until we have better alternatives.
