It's also a matter of choice when consuming libraries like expressjs, which the linked article referes to.

For example, hapi (https://hapi.dev/), a feature comparable web server framework to express, has zero external dependecies.

There are a lot of responsible maintainers of great packages in the node community which keep dependencies to a minimum. It's up to the consumers to use and value them, not just default to the likes of express.

I partially agree, in my opinion work experience > side projects > education experience. When I'm looking at resumes I pay the most attention to work experience, and that's what I'll dig into in an interview, but for fresh grads and anyone with very little experience I will absolutely go through their github and see what kind of code they write and what projects interest them.

> Like with gambling devices, redemption games all seem to have operator-adjustable payout.

This isn’t really the same because most gambling devices are regulated so that, while you can adjust payout percentages, you cannot remove random chance. That any given play has some percent chance of winning, even if it is adjusted very low or dynamically adjusted. This game is simply forcing a certain number of guaranteed loses before considering a payout. That isn’t luck.

I'm very deregulatory when it comes to drugs (and many, but not all, other things), and have read similar things in the past about the Netherlands and the drug market in Europe more generally.

The problem from what the grandparent post, is why legalize sales but not production? I don't really see the rationale for that (other than under the idea that the "real" problems are with production?). It seems to be the same problems as the war on drugs in the US, but pushed down to another level.

My guess is if everything were legalized, it change the dynamics of the situation.

In Europe too, you have the problem of what your neighbors are doing or not doing.

I once was going to work for a friend's startup but we didn't see eye to eye on everything and decided to not work together. As a joke I said I would go work for the competition which ended with a 2 hour interview in a town an hour away with the competition. They offered me a job doing backend work however I wanted to develop frontend so I didn't take that job either. What interested me is that in a 2 hour interview I learned everything about my friend's competition's business model and future plans. I've never done it since but if someone wanted to know what another company is doing apply and ask a bunch of questions during the interview. Asking too many question during an interview isn't a thing.
It’s hard not to notice that these underworld actors don’t look like the archetypical Dutchman. It’s also my understanding that the Netherlands doesn’t have strong protections for free expression and discussion about this is not permitted.

That's true and I didn't even consider that. I was recently in the UK and actually the uber driver said the same thing. Most of them don't have driveway or garages so where are they going to park and charge their vehicles? This is pretty much the same situation in the rest of Europe as well.

That seems like a good proposal, but it should have been considered from the start to get people onboard: not scaring them into thinking they'll end up just paying more.

I'm not saying there's an easy solution, but it does seem like they're doing this upside down, and it will create nothing but resentment, anxiety and stress.

This must not be a burden on people who can't afford it, even if they are a major part of the problem. Make it cheaper to get a new EV, then to buy a second hand diesel car -> that's how you will fix the issue, and it's not by making diesel and diesel cars even more expensive.
This article is based on the biotic pump theory [1], which is not accepted by the mainstream meteorology [2]. Textbook understanding is that winds are created by pressure differences in the atmosphere, which are created by temperature differences.

Since 2013, Makarieva et. al. [3] have suggested that all numerical weather and climate models would have overlooked a second pressure difference generating process: The volume loss, when water vapour condenses into liquid aerosols and cloud droplets.

I think the posted article fails to communicate, how much of it is based on a theory that mainstream meteorology currently considers to be fringe.

Nope. My company has a set slate of interviews. I am there to primarily get signal from my specific discussions/questions.

> We know it was close to 7000 ppm during the Cambrian explosion 500 million years ago. We know it was in the thousands of ppm for most of life's existence on this planet.

I'm really unclear on the point here. A rapid transition to the climate of the Cambrian period would annihilate most civilization - The globe was entirely free of ice at the end of the Cambrian and temperatures were 7 degrees celsius higher than today.

While it's plausible for humans to adapt to significantly colder temperatures, it's difficult for Human's to adapt to higher temperatures in a short period. There are limits to what A/C systems can handle, and I'd doubt that people would enjoy required bathing times per day for temperature reasons.
Mildly related: On the non engineering side I see lots of hiring managers who came from a different industry than their current employer and yet are adamant that candidates have years in the industry on on the tool stack (Salesforce or Tableau for instance).

Most industries, let alone tools, don't take that long to learn, and business acumen isn't industry-specific.
As soon as ad supported free services start shutting down because of ad blocking and lowered clickthrough rates on ads because of targeting being blocked, most people will probably start changing their minds. (The alternative being maintaining 10-20+ paid subscriptions.) For now, all this change means is that users who are opted-in to tracking are subsidising those who aren't.
I grew up with analog OTA TV. When you changed channels, the change was instant. We got a handful of local channels.

Then, we got analog cable. When you changed channels, the change was still instant, and you used the same remote as for OTA TV (if you were rich enough for a remote) because the cable just plugged straight into the back of the TV. We got a bunch of channels, including the local ones from before, a handful of new channels worth watching, and a ton of others that were absolutely worthless. This was expensive, but at least cable channels were ad-free... until they were not.

Next we got digital cable. This marked a real downturn in user experience. The signal had to be processed by a box that we had to rent instead of just plugging the cable into the TV. We needed a new box and new remote for every TV. Theoretically the new remotes could replace the old ones, but that never worked out in practice. You always needed the old remote for some function not available or not programmed properly on the new one. The boxes also took forever to switch between channels. Channels now were no longer straightforward one-channel-to-one-station mappings, but you had subchannels and HD/SD versions of the same channel. My parents never understood that while they were alive and usually ended up watching the SD channel instead of the HD because it was all they could find. In fact, for them, there was usually no increase in picture quality, just in price and inconvenience.

Finally I inherited the TVs, but I never watch them, and I cancelled the cable subscription. I got a digital TV antenna, and it sometimes picks up most of the local stations, which were all that my parents ever watched, but usually it glitches or fails. Changing channels still takes forever, but at least the antenna just plugs into the back of the TV without a rented box. Of what is available on OTA television, as with what was available on cable, there isn't enough to keep my attention. Most of it is vulgar trash riddled with advertisements.

I've gone back to reading books for entertainment. They don't require any cable or antenna, no rented box, no remote control. I can get whatever I want from the library (for free!) or Amazon, and I can change books without lag. The signal never drops or glitches. I can take my books with me anywhere, including outside. I'm happier now.
Wow! That's a great price. Where can I get it at that price? The car looks okay but I can think of many others that I would rather own. The more "desirable" EVs seem sell at much higher price bracket as compared to their fossil fuel counterparts...
The differences in latency from the live event to people seeing it were pretty apparent in the UK during the recent Euro 2020 tournament - I was surprised how many were evidently watching on internet streaming services by the length of the delays in reaction vs what I saw via satellite (the delay for satellite vs terrestrial/cable is small by comparison, especially since both of those went digital). If you want the lowest latency to the live event, analogue radio is probably still the best for these types of things.
America vs. Everyone – Jeff Sachs
Alternately he had an idea simultaneously with others having the same idea [1]. An obvious idea. It's entirely possible that his pitch and purported meetings had nothing to do with the eventual app. It's why many firms and creative groups have a strict "don't tell us your `ideas'" policy.

In this case his idea was "role-based" communication. He came up with this (2016) as Slack and other role-based solutions were storming across the market.

[1] - a common problem coupled with advancements in the field/technology often yield many people "inventing" the same thing simultaneously, because it's an obvious next step. It's why we're so negative of the countless useless "on a computer" patents, "on a network", etc.
I am born and raised in the Netherlands and I have always been for full legalization of everything (as in: I should be able to buy whatever OTC from certified sources). I think the path they chose is not very good. Also it is unclear if full legal would work, but let's try it: war on drugs, in whatever way, seems to work no-where.

To really take advantage of its strengths, one needs to adopt to a completely new IDE and way of working, which puts a lot of people off.

According to https://swprs.org/us-vaccine-deaths-increasing-rapidly/, that is not true.

The same way ads work in print media - the publisher doesn't have as detailed targeting info for the advertiser, and presumably would charge less.

I don't buy that. I mean, it could be that the investigation into this criminal racket is understaffed, but the question of whether there are more or less police staff generally probably not that important here.

Understaffing of an investigation + strategic "mistakes" raises some red flags IMHO.

Why has the Netherlands not decriminalized Cannbis-based products entirely? That is is, which political parties are against it, and what are their arguments?

> I suspect this broken legal system is bankrolling

A nitpick about your English phrasing: I'm sure you mean that current law is conducive to these criminal-industrial operations, not the legal _system_ and not bankrolling. i.e. no jurist is financing these crimes.
Oh... now I understand what you were getting at. That's definitely true. :)
Great. On 2, we are currently live in US and India so are available in that geography. We couldn't do much about recommendations coming from other geographies (as we don't have many partner companies there) so have put that limit.

I'm not sure why you and parent are being downvoted. In the grand scheme of things we do live in a time of almost uninterrupted peace in the West, and it is not at all clear that we are headed in that direction indefinitely.

It is a valid point to argue that the shooting in question is part of a broader pictuer of an increase in violence across the world, including in Western countries (Malta, Slovakia and others), threatening the democratic principles.

I define this view as an economy predicated on exponential (or superexponential) growth.

I'm not sure what you mean. I remember in 1997, the escape attempt with a helicopter from the Dutch prison, De Geerhorst. There was an accident, the pilot was killed and the Colombian prison escapee, who was serving a long-term sentence for drug trafficking, walked away with some injuries. In that time we all knew what was going on there.. Actually since years, you could spot the dark side of Amsterdam/Rotterdam while walking at night in the streets. In Germany what we mostly experienced were the ATM explosions in small German villages around the Dutch border..again the violence isn't new at all.

> Not helped by how many people are blatantly propagandized into objectively false positions by Fox News & similar.

I dunno, I think that’s confusing cause and effect. The solutions being proposed (e.g. be vegetarian) aren’t what people want. The same goes for lots of problems it seems. In my mind, somebody turning to Fox News et al. is a kind of effect of that.

People aren’t going to suddenly want to become vegetarian if Fox News goes away. There will probably always be somewhere people can listen to talking heads rant about the solutions they feel are being shoved down their throats.
