Easy to say with an American passport.

Now tell people from Mexico that they can't go to work in US because immigration laws, but Americans can go work there because they just need an internet connection and you can serve them drinks while they sit on the beach.

Any company is 1% thinking, many companies hire only local workers because it's their market.

Take into account timezones and you can't possibly work for Australians or New Zealanders while living in Europe, unless there's an office in Europe that coordinates the efforts with HQ.

I've worked for long time with US based companies from GMT+2 and it's been exhausting at times. Wouldn't do it again if I can avoid it.

This article reminds me of how critics said Carlin was getting dark and cynical and unfunnny in his last few specials. Now I see clips from these same specials celebrated daily on Twitter.
He isn't talking about grandmas. At least in the UK the primary reason for the steep decline in male primary school teachers is the perception that men are much more likely to be targeted by false claims of child abuse, and will be treated much less fairly if so.

I remember reading a story about such a case some years ago. The male teacher in it had eventually proven his innocence and that the child was a malicious liar, but the process had wrecked his family and made him unemployed. He wasn't going back into teaching and stated to the press, very clearly, that no man should ever work with children because the female-dominated profession would always find a man guilty until proven innocent, regardless of the merits of any case. I remember it clearly because his view was so stark, so bleak and yet so well articulated and justified. I decided right there and then that I'd take his advice and stay well away from teaching.

Not that things change much as adults, of course. Every time there's a run of men proving their innocence in false rape cases (in the UK), feminists go nuts and insist the law is changed to prevent men using that tactic to prove their innocence in future. The "females must always win" mentality is pervasive and makes working in female dominated professions risky.
If a company was somehow set up in a way that prevented it from transferring wealth back to the owners by any means (buyback, dividends, salaries, or even creative ways, such as buying assets owned by it's owners), it's stock "value" would be close to zero, regardless of how much it owned in terms of assets. (One could imagine a non-profit trust set up this way.)

In other words, the reason why a company's assets and expected future cash flow does set its valuation, is precisely the expectation that it will lead to dividends/buybacks at some point in the future.
I think this advice should go with a word of caution since doing DBA work and running a company are quite different things. If you are a DBA with strong networking and leadership skills it might work though.

Otherwise I would recommend eating the cut that an intermediate will take and let yourself be placed by an agency as a freelancer.

(All assuming the OP is talking about strong pre-existing specialized DBA knowledge, not starting to learn it.)

Mindfulness/meditation are tools to attain a level of awareness so that one can recognize what are the things holding one back from experiencing supreme peace and bliss. Without working on virtues like compassion, kindness, truthfulness, humility etc. these tools will only aggrevate one's selfish nature.
There are countless examples from ancient India where advanced meditators obtained divine boons due to their severe penance (by meditation on the divine), but ended up using the boon for expansion of their power/wealth at the cost of others, thereby becoming extremely selfish and a problem for the society to sustain properly.
Battery electric trucks exist in pretty much any weight class you can think off. This stopped being a theoretical thing about a decade ago. The main issue is cost and even that is starting to look really good. For last mile deliveries in cities it's pretty much game over for ICE vehicles. Electrical vans are selling as fast as they can be produced. They are cheaper to operate, cleaner to drive, more comfortable (no vibrations, quiet), etc. and they get the job done.

Range is fine too. 300-500 miles is plenty for a long distance truck doing 50-60 miles per hour. There are several manufacturers selling battery electrical class 8 trucks now. It will take a while for those to get common of course and for charging infrastructure to ramp up (these things need some serious amounts of juice). They have their required 45 minute break every few hours in any case. Great opportunity to charge the vehicle.

Range anxiety for commercial vehicles is not a thing. You might have personal anxiety but it's an entirely predictable thing that you can plan and budget for from a business point of view. It either is good/affordable enough and adequate or it is not.

In fact, it seems the low range delivery vans are popular because they are more cost effective and more efficient (less unneeded dead battery weight). Why spend the extra money on range you don't need? It seems the sweet spot is around 100 miles range. Some vans do even less than that. But it's more than the average delivery van does in a day apparently. Longer range options are available. Anxiety does not factor into this. It's a simple matter of "do we spend the 10-20k extra and is it worth it?"

KubeEdge: Monitoring Edge Devices at the World’s Longest Sea Bridge
Using Harvard as an example, they had an operating expenses of $5.0 billion in 2021 [1]. In order to cover that, they would need to be having a consistent rate of return around 9% on their ($54 billion) endowment. That a fairly good estimate of the rate of return for the stock market over the past 25 years, so not unreasonable. Though, this ignores that most of the endowment consists of restricted funds that can only be used on certain ways. Also, generally you need to cut a few percentage points if you want to guard against inflation.

So yes, Harvard could cover just about all of their budget with the endowment returns, though they probably need some extra income to cover the holes formed by the restricted funds and avoid inflation pressure.

Is their current usage of the returns too conservative? Probably. Do they have an absurdly large pile of cash that they have no business holding on to? Not really; the investment returns roughly correspond with their current operating costs.

I haven't read the article because TLDR; but agile, particularly in it's earlier incarnations like XP is the least bad methodology I've used for most of the problems I've worked on in non-tech firms and small tech firms. I never worked in a FAANG or a Microsoft so at that scale things may be different.

The usual rules apply, there is no silver bullet, nothing is all bad. Pick the most sensible process for the job and adapt as necessary.

I actually entirely disagree with the premise that students should work. I think it's wrong, aside from a perhaps holiday job. They should study, that's it. If they are not busy enough to study, then they don't study hard enough.

That's why, I think, in some European countries, instead of giving debt to students, we give them a stipend. The society should be able to support students enough to study, so they wouldn't have to work.

Sometimes the change over time in professions like law has been used to disprove this case for formerly male dominated professions. This is also the case in teaching. There were far more male primary school teachers in the past.

The actual cause of the decline is usually identified as the risk of false claims of sexual abuse, which are taken far too seriously by the system and unfortunately too many parents/teachers take the stance of guilty-until-proven-innocent.
The idea of food stamps is to give you food when you literally can't buy it yourself, not when you have a couple grand in your bank account.
This is specifically not the case - loan sharks are frequently punished for creating contracts that are not reasonable, and cannot be upheld by law as it violates consumer protections. One of which is that contracts are required to be reasonably understood by all participating parties.
I see it the other way: They don't enforce laws that aren't pragmatic. Double-parking is essential to getting things done in a city, and IME generally everyone acts reasonably - they don't double park when they block the entire street or in bad traffic. No law says 'you can double park, but not in these situations', but people are social animals and act intelligently. I love cities, which often bring out the best in people.
Why not http?

The man-in-the-middle attack potential other replies have mentioned is possible, but my reason is far simpler. Defaulting to https for everything removes the cognitive load of having to decide whether to trust a website and pushes users to believe everything should be secure by default. The environmental impact is, in my opinion, worth it.

> Sure there are some dumb laws, and they should remove them. But, if they have a law it should be enforced IMO.

But the dumb laws aren't removed, so now what do we do? There aren't enough resources to enforce all the laws, it would require major tax increases, and it would stifle life in the city for no benefit. Why would we enforce them all? Humans are not robots; we can make intelligent decisions about what is needed in a situation.

This sounds more like a workaround to a website with poor navigation and UX, but ultimately you are still at the mercy of the website, eg if they have /articles/<title> links but throw 404 when you try to access /articles directly. It's up to the website to choose how navigation works, and I don't think we should constrain the structure of website urls just to support these hacky workarounds.

Now there are other reasons for hierarchal urls mentioned in the thread, like providing better semantic meaning when representing content that is already hierarchal. Though I find that that is rarely the case. For example, you might think to represent blog posts like myblog.com/articles/<title>. But you could also do it like myblog.com/<article year>/title (eg myblog.com/2017/why-choose-short-urls). I've seen both formats, and both are valid to a certain degree. So choosing one is a bit arbitrary. But if you allow both formats, that just pushes the ambiguity onto the user. For example if the user wants to bookmark the article, which url do they bookmark?

From my experience, data follows graph structures, so trying to force a hierarchal structure and doing things like encoding paths in urls, feels too arbitrary and adds unnecessary ambiguity.
But the OP may not find it 'interesting'. I guess he told us only half of the story.
Exactly. You do probably lose income from a small percentage of dedicated hobbyists who're determined to use it for free and self-host, but those are probably not your core target market anyway.

And I think many of those people are the kind of people likely to add their own features and contribute them back, and making it easier makes to fork & self host makes that far more likely.
Wow so this post apparently blew up. A few updates:

1. I called for a third time and got a very helpful support person (Rod) who was able to unlock my account. The strange thing is that Rod did not ask me a single question about my intentions on the platform. I have no idea why Rod could unlock my account so easily but the other two refused and hung up on me.

2. I re-posted the 6 items I wanted to sell but I still have the feeling that my account is shadow-banned since they all have exactly 0-1 views in 24 hours. That seems suspiciously low for popular electronics (Switch games and synthesizers)

3. This isn't even my worst experience with eBay ever! That would be ~5 years ago when I sold my old cell phone on eBay. I apparently forgot to "accept" the payment so the buyer got my phone, eBay charged me for the fees, and I got $0. Yes that's right, I sold my phone for negative money.

Abortion isn’t a complicated issue. It’s a typical science/ethics vs alt right stupidity issue. The only thing complicated about it is the prevailing political correctness towards religion.

I'm not particularly religious, so I don't know about "supposed to be", but I see no ethical way of significantly reducing human population quickly enough for it to matter for climate change. It is much easier to change our behavior to reduce environmental impact. Switching everyone to a carnivore diet to spite "Big Carb" is certainly not the right direction.
I feel Spotify's recommendation engine works kinda OK since music is many small songs rather than long and few movies.

I mean if you are into a movie there might be only three ones like it which you allready have watched and surely are not on Netflix.

However, as soon as you use your Spotify account for kids or parties the engine gets messed up forever. It is a shame since it helped me find alot of artists.

What do you mean by concrete curbs? How do they compare to other curbs and how do they help? Are they just so large and tough that they damage the truck if it runs over the curb?
Sure it could happen (and probably will in some form).

However unless it captures a siginficant fraction of ETH value it won't be worth much and in turn won't be attractive to miners.

Right now ETH makes up 95+ percent of all GPU miner revenue and there aren't a lot of (successful) new POW coins these days.

I think the (GPU mining) market simply collapsing has a high likelihood.

Hmm this article really misses out on what makes the recursive decent parser special by not diving deep into the "recursive" part. An example grammar one level more complex would have been great.
Put yourself in the shoes of a naive 17 year old for a second. You're gonna do that when every person in your life is telling you "just go to college and don't worry about the loans because you'll make enough money to pay them off?" That was literally a true statement not too long ago. It's entirely possible every single adult in our hypothetical student's life is telling them this, because it was true when those people went to college.
