That I can partly sign. The complexity is way out of controll and it is way to hard to get stuff done with all regulation. But somehow we need regulations. So where is the golden way? If we overregulate people will shout that potentialy beneficial things wont happen…. On the other side if we dont regulate people could be killed with harmfull stuff that could be prevented.

Honestly this question is puzzling me since a while and I cant even state a direction I would take because its to complex for me….. but gut feeling says more transparancy and less complexity could work in designated areas… but … gut feeling.

And as said I understand your first rage. With the past years we are all on the edge with strangers, me too. And I did somehow mumble a bit …

Edit: to the vaccine part. It seems easy to develop them. A friend working at a well known biotech lab was even thinking about making one on the fast way for himself. The hard part is to scale the production and have a good one. As far as I remember those two werent the only ones… but those that worked well.
But at first I was rly impressed that they got it that fast and then I was even more impressed about the scalling problem. My friend told me about it and it was fascinating.
This seems a pretty common thing, to have a pleasant nostalgic memory of Logo as a fun introduction to programming. My experience with it was pretty different - I found it pretty pointless and boring at the time, and it didn't have any pull on me the way C later did.

Ironically, a big part of what made C fun for me were the Borland conio (console I/O) and graphics libraries. But those were fun only because I could respond to user interactions, and make simple games and other playful things. Looking back on it, that was probably the missing ingredient with Logo for me - we were never taught any ways of user input, they were just static programs that did one thing, and that feels fundamentally different.
I accidently tapped the "Give Up" button, and it says I guessed correctly. Unless the correct move is not to play, there seems to be a bug.

Direct Debit in Europe has strong guarantees in favour of the customer, e.g. reversing charges.

Probably extremely minimal if any; especially with all the advances in Mawk/Gawk since 1988.

The only immediate advantage being you can essentially turn your Awk into a compiled exe with Awkcc. However it's important to note that this is so old it only works with the original Bell Labs Awk.

Previously compiling directly from Awk to an executable was only possible with Tawk (commercial version of Awk by Thompson Automation... And long defunct).

This, but also don't underestimate the personal satisfaction of "eating what you kill". I feel far less alienated from my labor than I did as an FTE. When I get a tough new task, I get excited thinking of those hours piling up. My reward is directly tied to my efforts and success in a way it never was before, and that has improved my quality of life tremendously.

> You don't get to create a system and not take responsibility for the problems it causes using law as a safety net and expect it to scale.

But that’s exactly what we have achieved. Contracts of adhesion, unfair as they seem to some, significantly lower transactional costs by eliminating negotiation and have allowed us to scale commerce tremendously as a result.

To balance out the bad parts of adhesive contracts, we guard against moral hazard by providing fraud protection against innocent cardholders. We also make certain particularly immoral or unfair terms in contracts unlawful as a matter of law, such as disclaiming liability for inherently dangerous activities, or using one’s child as consideration.
> "Alcohol has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen (carcinogenic to humans) for decades by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It's right up there with tobacco and asbestos."

Other Group 1 carcinogens [0]:

- processed meat

- Salted fish, Chinese-style (?)

- solar radiation

- outdoor air pollution

- wood dust

- leather dust

A big problem with that CBC quote is that there is no way everything in Group 1 has the same (or even approximately the same) risk of causing cancer. How could eating cold cuts from a deli be equivalent to smoking a cigarette or inhaling mustard gas?

> The risk of dying from lung cancer before age 85 is 22.1% for a male smoker and 11.9% for a female smoker, in the absence of competing causes of death. The corresponding estimates for lifelong nonsmokers are a 1.1% probability of dying from lung cancer before age 85 for a man of European descent, and a 0.8% probability for a woman.[1]

*This* is the kind of smoking gun they should be showing; ~20% increase in the chance of dying from lung cancer for men who smoke. How much does alcohol increase chances of dying from cancer?

You start by posting on upwork etc and try to grow out. $10/hour clients or $500 per job clients are simple but abusive and not sustainable. $125 / hour clients are really really hard to get and you gotta get 3 or 4 until you are in a derisked position. Finally, staffing companies are great but require a lot of 9-5 commitment but you can build your portfolio.

That's because it basically is. I'm pretty involved in the cryptocurrency space and I haven't found a single person outside of the memecoin get rich types (see "Shiba Army") that thinks this is a good idea or seriously viable in any real way.

Honestly I can do nothing but hope that the craze around cryptocurrency dies down so that these types go back to other get rich quick schemes and leave the actual researchers, engineers, and developers to their work.

A lot of these disruption startups are taking a standard business and pretending they don't have to have the same risks and control processes in place that traditional business have had to pay for, as a participant.

It reminds me of Paypal. When they first started, it was simple, not too expensive, but often ignored the consumer protection laws in the countries, and states, they operated in. Over time they have been forced to provide the same rights and implement the same regulation local market participants have to. In doing so they have had to raise price to the point where they are just another, now more expensive, player, with a good marketing name.

The bad part is, if you got on the wrong side of them in the early days, you lost your money and rights. These subcontracting companies are the same. By avoiding rights and regulation they can provide cheaper service. They can't do this forever.
They probably do not look so stunning yet and are more of a scientific value.

> Programming is easier than ever

Really, it's not. This trade has got much, much harder since I started. The languages are harder, because the targets are both more complicated and more various. Computers were mainly used to do sums (I worked on accounting systems written in COBOL).

I mean, it's easier if you take into account the complexity and richness of the modern computing environment, USB, PCI, caches, what have you. You are producing more powerful programs. But the onboarding ramp for modern programming is steep.

Photolithography could work. The trick is to avoid waste and keep speed up, which are both really, really good properties of the drum/roller setup of a normal LED printer.
