Personally, I avoid paying for things that could instead be provided by some appropriate software, as doing so encourages further proprietaryism. This includes services that corral communication into centralized silos. When proprietary middlemen attempt to force their desired paradigms onto us, the answer isn't to just give in and pay their Danegeld. Rather the solution is to build better software and communication infrastructure that won't get shut down by legal nastygrams.

Do I understand correctly; that humans ate first the bigger animals to extinction and moved to next smaller ? Isn't this counterintuitive? Bigger animals need better traps and (killing) tools while smaller ones can be catched by hand and can be choked ?

If I had to choose between a moose and a rabbit to hunt, I would go for the cute little bunny.

But don't take my choice as guidance, I grew up and lived in city.
If they can make food cheaper, what pressure is there to sell their product at a lower price? The economic answer is that a competitor will do it first to get a larger marketshare, but the pratical answer is nothing will force them. If the regulatory and capital cost to enter the market are high, then a competitor isn't likely to appear and the existing players can continue functioning in a quasi-cartel.

Taking this to its logical end, the owners of said farms will get richer as the general population earns less on average (due to their labour no longer being needed).
Good lord! This makes me feel quite defeated. Nevermind the NEXT generation, even my generation is susceptible
Respectfully I disagree. Machines with heap are not the only model of computation, and the fact that useful software has been written in python suffices to prove this.

> The UI inconsistencies are one thing (that you would hop get ironed out over time)

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Microsoft seems to be introducing new UI frameworks -- each with their own slightly different appearance -- at an ever-increasing rate. If current trends continue, by 2030 there will be more Windows UI frameworks than developers using them. :)
>> If a job pays poorly, doesn't that suggest there are many people willing and able to do those jobs, relative to the need for the job to be done?

No. This notion of relentless competition is insane. One school district was paying a janitor barely a living wage. The standard response was "he could improve himself / get a degree, and find a better job. That shifts all blame on him an ignored the fact that the district expects to pay a non living wage for that position, they'll just find someone else if he left.
What kind of environment do people work in where this is acceptable advice? Daily interactions with other people, whether at work or outside, aren't meant to be algorithmic functions with a "yes" or "no" output. If you care to maintain actual relationships then your behavior has to be a lot more nuanced than that. Even though the response may be fully justified, you have to get that justification out there. People can't read your mind, and after a while you will stop getting the benefit of doubt.

If I had a coworker who simply said "no" at times when they were assigned work, they wouldn't stay employed for very long.
I read that many ancient farming societies used lottery to rotate which farmers used which plots each year.

You know, there's an unfair advantage if you get access to the best land and then that grows you the best crops and then profit and so on. So, everyone gets chances to farm different plots.

I agree with you about the problems with corporate land ownership.

I've never said that I shouldn't be allowed to buy food. I simply believe that when I do, I should pay the true cost of it.

> You can walk to the farm and negotiate with the farmer to buy from him rather than allowing it to be transported back by diesel, are you doing this or is this just more hypocrisy?

You have an oddly black and white view of the world. There are plenty of things that I think we should change that currently benefit me. I can participate in the system while still recognizing its flaws and arguing that they should be fixed. I can't reasonably opt out of everything where I disagree with some aspect of it. Do you believe that politicians should vote against all bills that they disagree with any part of?

I think the wealthy in my country should pay more taxes than they currently do. I make more than the median income so this would probably result in me paying more taxes too. I can hold this view without donating part of my salary to the government. I'm against capital punishment. If I see someone committing a crime they could receive the death penalty for I'll still call the police. Do you believe that these views also make me a hypocrite?

You don't have to spell anything, it's quite clear you mean 'government is an ass, it's rules are not for me, and crypto gives the me the tool I need to ignore them'.

In some cases, you might even be right.

There are doubtless some valid reasons to 'work around' these particular sanctions, but IMHO paying your Russian devs to keep developing your website or whatever, which appears to be the case here, is perhaps not one of them.
I'm the developer of Cydia, an alternative to the App Store for jailbroken iOS devices, a software ecosystem which was filled with both modifications to existing clients and complete re-implementations of clients, and this is definitely the #1 mistake that new developers would make (much to my annoyance, as it just seems so OBVIOUS of a thing to not do, but people really are idiots): you need to be extremely careful with trademarks and logos--only ever talking about a client "for" some other service as opposed to using that service's name as a modifier on your app (so, "YouTube Vanced" is definitely never OK and a dumb decision when you could say "Vanced for YouTube" or even be extremely safe and just stick with "Vanced", leaving any mention of "YouTube" to your descriptions), etc.--lest you get wrecked. And yet, somehow, you see it happen time and time again as people just can't help themselves when it comes to using other peoples' trademarks for their clients.

And yes: it is an incredibly simple thing to avoid, and yet it is also a deceptively difficult thing to fix and cleanly walk away from later when the other party actively wants you to not exist as you are often now stuck in a really shitty position with respect to the hole you have already dug yourself into and the legal fees you are potentially going to lose just trying to defend yourself going forward. Hell: someone I don't like from the "extended" Cydia ecosystem (if nothing else: they are the kind of person who thinks they are above trademarks) once even just hinted on Twitter at building a product with the name "Snapchat" in it (which I obviously would never have sold as I was really careful about this sort of stuff) and their lawyers started coming after me with a cease and desist for something I wasn't even going to do, costing me thousands of dollars to deal with (as their lawyer knew to directly contact my lawyer, making it harder for me to avoid any costs).
It really depends on where the request is coming from. If it's from your manager or another department that depends on you, then sure, an explanation is probably a good idea.

Anyone else, well, no. If their issue is important enough, they can escalate it to your manager.
That also causes replies to sections of text taken out of context to get more traction than they should, feeding the "dunk" culture on Twitter. I'm not sure being able to reply to and highlight an out of context chunk of text is a useful thing for communication at all really.
>if the labor pipeline dries up (which is a very real thing as immigration has decreased in North America/the US) then no one will be doing that job.

>i suspect the amount of money that farms would need to pay workers to fix these shortages would drive all producers into bankruptcy

I definitely think it's the latter rather than the former. Producers being driven to bankruptcy is an issue, but that seems like it's something that's going to happen regardless if we made "non-STEM work to be a viable option". At the end of the day, if it's a shitty job, then you'll have to pay more to get people to show up.
> Once the less-legibly-promising new hires are equally productive, they now have a resume making them legibly good to the company's competitors in the job market, so it can't make up its investment by underpaying.

It's not like other industries haven't already solved this problem. Law firms will finance your law school and make you pay them back if you leave the firm.
Half of agriculture workers are immigrants. I'd guess that the harder and less lucrative jobs are going disproportionately towards immigrants and especially undocumented immigrants (about a quarter of the agriculture workforce). I think, rather than pay higher wages and give benefits to American labor, our society imports people from poorer countries to do demanding jobs for low pay.

Why does the above make SATs any better? They don't predict college outcomes, and they are structured and written in ways that favor wealth, thus providing bad data on students (other than their wealth). Why use them?

It would be very interesting to hear your personal experience. But how can you make general statements about all poor schools?
The updated hiring process is not loved, and a major point of contention with senior management. I do believe it is well intentioned and an attempt to improve diversity and hiring and retention of talented people. However, the result is obviously going backwards. The process has caused a number of resignations, including more senior management. It is particularly grating to staff hired in less formal times, who recall being recruited at a conference or who's application resulted in a few phone conversations about interesting subjects with intelligent people. But now Canonical is hemorrhaging staff. Difficulty hiring means low staff levels means high pressure means lower retention, which was the problem. And this newer solution is a death spiral where staff are leaving much faster than they can be replaced, and management responsible for hiring leaving themselves because they can't do their job themselves due to lack of staff and inability to replace them. There have been lower level staff with no management chain between them and the CEO, and managers parachuted in to get teams back on track where there is not enough team remaining to even tread water and all institutional knowledge gone. I do hope things can get back on track, as I honestly believe Canonical is a good company to have around in the industry and should be a great place to work.
Okay, if you're advocating Tesla as some paragon of safety we're in a different universe. Telsa is known as the company as notoriously the least safety concious. Other car companies have comparable technology to Tesla marketed under ADAS. Why? Because they don't want to burn their reputations to the ground for having similar attitudes towards safety as Tesla. The entire approach of Comma is "Maybe we can train a computer to be slightly worse than a human driver"

What a ridiculous rewriting of history. Fascism has a huge body of work starting most famously with Giovanni Gentile, the father of fascism, and then going back through many italian philosophers like Mazzini, Rosmini, Gioberti, Spaventa and ultimately leading back to Hegel and Karl Marx.

I've found that whenever someone says "no one understands why this happened", it is usually because everyone understands why it happened and they just don't like the answer for ideological reasons.

"Nice videos you got there. Shame if something were to happen to them. Now pay us $3,000 by the end of the week."

Now do you understand why people are mad?

The price isn't relevant. Giving someone less than a week to completely uproot themselves is extortion, plain and simple. It may even be illegal--I smell a class-action incoming.

My guess is that most people will cough up for a month or two and then leave. I know that I would definitely migrate off of a company which extorted me once.

However, that is equivalent to a quick infusion of a couple years of cash to Vimeo for quite a few of these customers. A quick pump of the numbers might get them a deal with somebody if this doesn't net them enough bad press.

> From my viewpoint in Europe I never understood the whole extracurricular, hobby or even the essay or recommendation letter part of admission process.

First, a meta-point about questions like “why doesn’t the US have policy X Y or Z”: The US is essentially set up to be ungovernable by design (any meaningful reform requires the cooperation of both major political parties, a situation that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the developed world), you can’t really find rational reasons for most policies.

I notice this a lot, actually: the fundamental thing Europeans miss about the US is they think “a rule exists, thus it must be there on purpose”, because in your countries, unlike in the US, you have functioning parliaments and governments that can change laws as necessary.

Anyway, the US arrived at its education system, as with most things, through a long and largely random process. The catalyst for the weird non-academic admissions standards in particular is well-documented to have been pure anti-Semitism: college administrators felt that with purely academic admissions standards, too many Jews were being admitted.

That's not a rebuttal.
For some people it is a feature. For you its not. You're one data point. You appear to have the same attitude as the people who leave drive-by feature demands on open source projects, then get hostile when they're ignored. The app isn't for you, and you're not entitled to features in a free, open source project. Its not a "snooty clap back", they're actually correct. This project isn't for you, and writing a manifesto of features they need to implement to add one user is pretty absurd.

Imagine downloading a free textbook and emailing the creator demanding additional content or else you'd stop using their free textbook? This sort of thing just reeks of entitlement and a misunderstanding of open source more than anything else.
That's not sharding, it's replication. It's not splitting up your data but making a copy, and still requires an instance big enough (scaled up) to store it all.

> It is not a non-problem for people without your privilege. Gig workers, immigrants and others with no viable options are forced to do these jobs or starve. All the while people complain about immigrants crossing the border and "taking their jobs".

That’s exactly what’s happening. With a steady flow of cheap labor to take these jobs, the wages for them will remain stagnant. It makes perfect sense for low income workers to be complaining about immigrants taking their jobs because that’s exactly what happens.

Cut off illegal immigration for a few years and watch as the price of all unskilled labor increases. It’s basic supply and demand.

The ones at the top generally don’t care because the people coming in are not competing for their jobs. And they arguably benefit from the cheap low end labor through lower prices for staples and even luxuries like landscapers and nannies.

Even that is changing with remote work and offshoring. I don’t know if it will take five years or a decade, but the so called knowledge workers who don’t sock away their savings now are in for a rude awakening when their own paper pushing jobs get replaced.
> There's a persistent belief that rich people and poor people are like two different species. I got a CS degree from a pretty good school but it was almost pure luck. My high school had programming classes and I enjoyed them.

Programming classes are non-existent, at least based on limited knowledge - seriously, look up the programming classes in a nearby poor school district.
