The fact that Blender has been so successful has probably done immeasurable good for the graphical art industry. Think about how many students who otherwise couldn't have were able to learn 3D modeling because of the program. I know at least one person who's entering that field after learning Blender in their spare time.

Honestly, I think Blender is one of the most successful open source projects of all time. It's such a good model for how open source can be successful.
The issue is that the US can determine she didn’t file, file for her, and assess fines/tax. Once that gets to $50k she can’t renew her passport, and can no longer enter or leave the US as the law states she can’t use her foreign passport if a US citizen. If she lives in a country that assists the IRS with collection, they can reach in and take it. They have all her bank details from FBAR filing.
This future of automated repair and recycling that you speak of is not the current reality, and as somebody who works in hardware, I would be very interested in learning more about this emerging technology of automated repair that you speak up. Though I would challenge that claim with this question: if automated repair is in the near future, why does Apple charge on average three times more than what an independent repair shop charges for fixing logic board issues on a Macbook while still not recovering your data?

While I don't disagree with the idea that we're in an era of disposable electronics, that still currently comes at a high monetary cost that a significant portion of the population would prefer to not have to spend. As a result, it creates a strong market demand for human repair technicians. Though I would argue that the market force that's more likely to put human repair technicians out of jobs are products that are easily repairable (like the framework laptop.) Not some automated repair technology that will arrive to the market around the same time as flying cars.

The claim that "if a device is repairable, it will be big and clunky" is simply corporate propaganda. While the Macbook has some great design aspects to it, it's not without it's flaws. The NAND is soldered onto the board, such that if you have an issue with the motherboard (including a broken charge port) you will need to get it replaced by Apple for a hefty sum of money (think $800-$1200, which most people can't afford unexpectedly.) On top of that, you will lose all of your data. Then there's the butterfly keyboards, which were a reliability nightmare for Apple. If the keyboard were modular and replacable it probably wouldn't have erupted into a massive class action lawsuit. In my opinion, the flat top keycaps that were introduced in the 2009 Pros never felt right to me, and the touchbar was more of a party trick than anything.

I am not claiming that the framework laptop is perfect, but it sure is a compelling product on it's own, and for a lot of the same reasons a Macbook Pro is.
In some cases, they can. A friend of mine is a project manager for CC Bill, a payment processor for porn sites. They hire almost exclusively from eastern Europe for software development. But if you want to do business with the US government or financial or healthcare industries, i.e. where most of the money is if you're not an ad tech giant, you're largely restricted to hiring US persons. That doesn't mean they need to be citizens, but they need to live in the US, and live here legally, which largely means they can command US wages.

Nice, I have seen this tech ~25 years ago when I was a little boy and always wondered why it never came to market. I think they were called tweels back when I saw them.
Don't imagine: someone will calculate it.

Besides, what's important is that the benefit outweighs the cost. If the cost is required to stay in business, then it's probably important enough to incur. Remember: someone's going to be paying that cost and it's clearly worthwhile to them.
I learned this decades ago from one of the best IT consultants in the city. I was interning with him, and he told me that for every project he does "one new thing". Typically he tries a new product, a new approach, or just picks up a skill like a specific scripting language.

His thinking is that there's always padding in these projects, so may as well fill the spare time with something that will help him grow. Two new things is too many unknowns and could derail the project, but one new thing is "just right".

I've followed that philosophy ever since.

It isn’t complicated to file FBAR, but why should we have to give all our bank account details to the US when citizens living there would only have to under criminal investigation?

According to Wikipedia, half a million people irradiated from caesium and strontium isotopes in 1968. Sounds like it happened just as you describe.

> America does invest into itself. But Americans generally don't want the investment.

This is far from the case. Case in point: nearly 3 trillion and counting in public stimulus over the last couple of years. In fact, even the Republicans are mostly on board with many items from Biden's infrastructure bill, which is in the 2-3 trillion range.

> * No one likes welfare. At best, Americans begrudgingly accept it when necessary, but many people (even poor people) refuse to accept it at all.

This is something that is inherent in American culture, perhaps a bit more so than European countries. Americans as a group believe in 'pulling yourself by the bootstraps', more than any other group. However, support for investment into America is there. The proof is the massive stimulus bills that have passed, despite > 20 trillion of federal debt.
Boston has a lot of robotics which seems to pay less for some reason (less profitable? Can't scale as cheaply?) and biotech which pays less. That could be one cause.
The whole point of the bug bounty program is that anything that qualifies for it is something that Apple considers to be important enough to pay out money for, because they (ostensibly) want people to report these to them. I understand if they are overloaded with "this function leaks the country of the device" bug reports but the ones that they actually include in the bug bounty program are those that have the potential to significantly damage their stated goals around security, so it's kind of the point that they review all of them.

If Apple wants to nudge people towards submitting more serious bugs, they can pay more so people are incentivized to work towards those rather than mucking around in gamed. But, they don't really get to say "we didn't really have time to get around to this Contacts bug, sorry": people expect them to have it fixed. That's the whole reason Apple offers a bounty at all: so that researchers tell them about it early so they can fix it.
Very few, actually. They did it recently in my own country- Lithuania, really the best thing ever. It's also in public domain what kind of salaries companies pay( depending on the size,you can get mean, average, etc.)
Making Fun of Ted Talks
This is just... wrong. I mean, I don't know what bubble you're living in, but my bubble is not like this.

Every single person I've ever met, except one, uses either an iPhone or a Galaxy. Probably a sample size of 100 people. The one exception uses a Pixel, and he's a software engineer.

The reason why I'm confident enough in saying you're wrong, is because my experience tracks with US smartphone shipment metrics. Apple and Samsung are the leaders in the US. Pixel isn't even in view of the finish line. Bluntly: Nerds use Pixel devices. Legacy from the Nexus days. Most people wouldn't even know what a Pixel is.

Modern Samsung devices are absolutely fantastic phones. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't used one since TouchWiz.

Well, I don't think this stat is represintive of what is happening, simply there are many more frameworks:

FeatherJS, LoopbackJS, koaJS, TotalJS, hapiJS, NextJS, AdonisJS, DerbyJS, BlitzJS, RavelJS, DenoJS and probably many others I have not even heard of.

Now, each of those frameworks has a decent size community behind them, some of them received huge funding (NextJS, MeteorJS etc), some of them launched only recently. Keep in mind that NodeJS is only 10 years old, JavaScript itself had a decent revesion just recently in 2015. I do think the ecosystem is larger and more active than anything we have seen before and it is still growing aggressively, as more php and ruby developers make a switch and new developers join the field.

Wow! That's so much money for senior/L6 FAANG.

10 years ago my last non-contractor gig as a Grade 8 Intel Senior Staff Microprocessor Engineer (or 9? just below principal. I forget.) in Santa Clara pulled $200k including bonus and options, 170k if it was a shit year for bonuses. And that included a 4 year stretch with 0% raises for everyone in the early 2000's. That's with -15- years experience.

I guess in 2010 that was pretty good? I dunno, they routinely fucked everyone except the principals and above, who have very strange compensation systems, but no one had the guts to leave: this was during the no-hire collusion for which I got a settlement check of $10k, which was peanuts compared to the impact.

It was back in Firefox 3 (released a few months before Chrome was announced) that Firefox’s address bar got the last significant pieces of that functionality and was dubbed the AwesomeBar.

I think that at that time Firefox still struggled with single-word searches from the address bar, treating them as domain names; if so, that was probably the last material difference (as distinct from social) before Firefox could reasonably remove the search box by default.

Are these blobs of text being generated by some language model or something? They seem like wildly incoherent generated stories 100% unrelated to the content of the article or this thread.
However, if you just want a very minimal subset of a JSON response (i.e. a 'status' string field out of say 20 other values in a map), is it not better to just look for one field, as opposed to have to create an entire struct in Rust to represent the full response?

How does Serde work with optional extra fields? I know you can use Option<>, but that implies you know they exist - what happens if fields get added in the future silently? I guess the schema changes then, which isn't good, but that might happen?
I once put a birth rate of 1.5 or so in one of these population simulators and IIRC even with that well below replacement fertility we still had more humans in 2200 than in 1900 or something like that, so I'm gonna be honest I don't think the survival of the species is on the table any time soon.

As long as there's tens of millions of humans we're probably good in that department

It's not a software trick. Just one of the unintended benefits of having a smaller sensor.

Full frame sensors have thin depth of field. Small sensors like an iPhone don't have that, so they fake it with portrait mode.

But when you do macro photography, having thin DoF becomes a drawback, so with big DSLRs you have to do focus stacking (which is unnecessary on an iphone).
I was in a discussion the other day how every other attempt at bringing computing to underdeveloped parts of the world has more or less failed (OLPC for example), yet cheap Android phones have managed to become ubiquitous in places without stable electricity, running water, and stable or repressive governments.
> College ID isn't proof of residence

Voter ID generally isn't supposed to be proof of residence, its proof of identity; it exists to prove that the voter is the person registered, not that the registered person is authorized to vote.

Most IDs acceptable for voting do not prove authorization (or even “authorization but for the potential of disqualification by felony”), so not accepting college ID because it doesn't prove authorization to vote is...not well justified, even in the public logic of voter ID.

Of course, voter ID proponents have let out the private partisan internal logic lots of times when they thought only people aligned with their faction were listening, so we don't need to speculate why the rules are inconsistent with the public logic.
While I can see where this idea comes from, it seems a bit... self-defeating in a way? At least pragmatically speaking, there's an obvious difference between your point of view and that of the universe: if it's all a big illusion, then presumably there's no point in pursuing anything since it's all inconsequential anyways. And yet here we are clacking on keyboards sending electrons into a mesh of wires and circuitry for some reason. The universe may not care about you, but the implication is that you don't necessarily care about what "it" thinks either, but you definitely care about what you as an individual think.

And in a similarly clinical view of the universe, it doesn't even make sense to anthropomorphize it in the first place, since there's no evidence that the universe has the capability or inclination of empathizing with a human. That leaves us with things that actually are anthropomorphic (other people), and I'd posit that societies are a pretty good example of a complex interaction between many things that are presumably on autorun, and yet are able to work together towards some commonly aligned purpose that has collective meaning on some level higher than just chemicals interacting in particular ways.
> Yet people still want to live in cities despite the price. Why is that? Because they get a value from that, and that value is reflected in higher land values

Yep agreed.

> Adding more supply of buildings doesn't make the land any cheaper.

We don't need land to be any cheaper - we need more dwellings (apartments). Nobody cares about land prices in the middle of large cities (but developers), they care about apartment prices/rent.

> In fact it would make it more expensive via agglomeration effects.

If by agglomeration effects you mean zoning for allowing more buildings - yes, relaxed zoning laws increase land prices AND increase supply of apartments. This is a good thing for housing affordability!

> So the issue for affordability is land value.

This does not follow as I believe the previous points are incorrect.

> This can be done by shifting taxes off of buildings and onto land.

Land taxes are an excellent idea - because they encourage building the maximum number of apartments allowed (more housing => more supply => cheaper housing), rather that sitting on an empty block of land speculating (which does greater society no good).

Feel free to correct me if I've missed something!

Is this the case for having an accreditation at all makes you an active professional, or that acting professionally you can't use that firm for work?

First off, not all Amazon branded stuff is crap. For example, its motor oil it top-notch. Batteries are quite adequate.

Then, if it is Amazon branded and it's crap, you buy one and then you know to not buy this anymore. When you go over reviews, you can trust that these are genuine, not a bunch of paid shills pumping up +++++. You can make informed decision much more reliably. That's not the case with third-party products

And finally: if I was a store owner and allowed other people's goods to be sold, I too would put my own goods onto a much more attractive shelf. That is not a lie. When customer buys something and it's broken, he'll come after me. That's a hassle. When these are my goods, and I know where these goods came from, I would definitely want to promote them over third-party items. Maybe these items are as good as mine, maybe not - I don't know. Yes, I'd still sell them since they bring me extra profit, but since I'm on the hook for their quality and I have no control over their quality, that's much less attractive sale for me.

The point I am trying to make is that being forced to have IDs when voting is common. I didn't know about the UK.

The human race isn't in danger, though. The population's actually going up year after year. There are some countries that aren't having enough kids to stay at their peak population without allowing immigration, which may be the actual cause of your concern, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing; encourage immigration, and the problem's solved.
