> you have many other options for what to do with your money

That's what I meant by "or lend it out so others can spend it". That's what all those options come down to. Money cannot just sit in someone's accounts doing nothing, it must either be spent or given to someone else who will spend it: loans, investments.
So Activision-blizzard has been mired in controversy for several years now. Lawsuits, scandals, etc. A lot of content creators have quit producing content for their games and people wonder if Blizzard can recover. IMHO Blizzard is one good release away from people forgetting all these controversies.

Netflix has thrown money at creating original content. If you look at some of their releases it's clear they've had more money than they know what to do with. Money will only take you so far. I agree they needed to do this. I disagree with how they've gone about it.

This has forced them into price hikes. In their most profitable markets they're now losing subs. The share price is like 75% off its peak.

How does this relate to Activision? Easy. If things were going well at Netflix (eg the share price was hitting new heights, sub numbers were up) I guarantee you no one would care about any of this. But things aren't going well and that foments dissent.

So while employees may have legitimate complaints (and they do) the main story is that things aren't going well at Netflix and they may have overspent themselves into a really tough spot. I know I no longer perma-subscribe to Netflix. It's more expensive than HBO. I'll pay for 1-2 months a year to catch up and that's it.

I fully expect Netflix to stem this kind of bleeding at some point by only having 6 month or annual subscriptions or those will be at the current price and the monthly price will be $20+.
We used to have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Production_Code , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics_Code_Authority and relatively universal radio/tv enforcement of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words, so there was a time (the 30s-60s) when the impulse was to censor everything to the lowest common denominator. It's not that recent a phenomenon.
Typically, past performance is indicative of future behavior. This is why statistical modeling in social sciences works somewhat okay. But there are extrapolation regions or shorter memory missing prior events that cause behavior to deviate from status quo expectation.

I solidly mean #1. I hate that Facebook and others started advertising hard liquor. If I worked at Facebook, I could start a movement among employees to get the ads banned. Another example would be Google employee refusing to work on defense contracts. Netflix management is saying "you can quit if you don't like it" which seems like a reasonable response to me.

As for #2, I wish them all the luck. I'm like most people and take a live an let live attitude. I have no problem with trans women. In fact my father is a closet transvestite (he doesn't know I know) so I'd be hating on my own father.

Search makes ~$40B per year. They likely have over >3B MAU.

People that would realistically pay for the product - maybe 50M. I think a ~$10/m subscription could make sense.

The problem is - they probably need to offer something beside just being ad free. And I'm not sure what they could possibly add that wouldn't be better suited just improving the product for the other 99% of searchers.

I'd pay more than $10/m for Search if I had to. I pay for YouTube premium to get rid of the ads (and free YouTube Music). But I don't think the search ads are intrusive enough that I'm willing to pay $10 to get rid of them.
Music isn’t a limited commodity, you can boycott effectively unlimited artists without significant cost.

One day well into my 50's, I realized being a friend is what matters.

It's the only thing I have control of.

My working definition is "what would I do if I was a friend?"

Then I consider doing that.

Being a friend is valuing people as friends.

That means making them feel valued.

It means putting up with their human failings.

The point is putting in the effort.

Part of this is that my 189 Facebook friends are friends.

Those relationships of course are across a spectrum of intimacy and fondness. Some are people who I like to hang out with. Some are people that I never will outside a funeral or high school reunion.

Approximately, they are people above the happy-birthday and sad-your-dog-died thresholds. Though, yes, there are people whose online behaviors are unacceptable and that's why it's only 189 friends.

Good luck.

My dream was to go to California too when I started studying computer science. Then I learned about employment laws, health care and social security in the US. As a person that had close experience how important these things are when things go wrong even though you might've been a millionaire, I feel pretty confident with my choice to stay in Europe.

To anyone that thinks these things don't matter if you earn enough money and safe a fair amount, I wish that they and especially their children never get into a situation that shows them how naive that thought was.
In the Netherlands this used instead of segregated cycle lanes, but in addition to a strong network of cycle lanes.

Most commonly you find them down very old, narrow, country lanes, where there simply isn’t space for true segregation. But equally, there’s usually no need to use these roads a cyclist, as there are normally more direct dedicated cycle routes. You frequently only use them because your specifically looking for a scenic route, or something a little unusual to cycle down.

In other parts of the world, they will also have their place in space constraint locations, or in large networks of small country lanes, where providing segregated infrastructure simply isn’t possible or viable due to lack of space, or extremely low volumes of traffic.

I personally think the UK could benefit substantially from these types of roads, if country lanes where converted. The lanes are barely big enough for bi-directional motor traffic, and occasionally not even that wide. Providing edge lane roads would encourage motor traffic to remain in the centre of the road, where they’re substantially less likely to collide with cycle or pedestrian traffic, which may be hidden around one of the many blind corners.

That's not a type. That's just some string constants. You cannot define a variable of type Animal, which is kind of the point of enums.

Worse, they're not constants, they're mutable. So how is that different from this?

No more alcohol consumption in movies then? Romcom heros can't enjoy champagne at their wedding in the end of the movie, because that doesn't accommodate recovering alcoholics who suffer in the mainstream culture of drinking during special occasions?

I understand the logic of that, but I don't think the industry should actually go through with that. Such well-meaning content restrictions would unduly restrict artistic expression. Content warnings about alcohol/drug use should be sufficient to warn away anybody who (understandably!) wants to avoid that sort of content.

>I agree, but only on the internet. Conversations in real life don't contain upvotes or retweets

I believe GP is more alluding to how the world overvalues charisma, which is absolutely true. So much importance is put on presentation, social skills and the likes, it's hard to argue we're all saints willing to filter based on information alone. Even democratic voting has surprisingly many similarities to upvote culture, when you think about it.

If it was just conversations we'd have to care about, that'd be one thing. But in a way, this charisma requirement has seeped through the entirety of the world. Partially because even in real life, you're still competing with whatever is available in the other party's hand with a few swipes. Partially because the interconnectivity of today has absolutely exploded options, and humans are brutal enough to filter lesser options.
I'm not sure we've tried it or anything like it in the US. Intrinsic in this idea is the requirement that we actually enforce the rules, so when folks dismiss it as ineffective because it won't be enforced, I think they're missing the point.

The EU is not very comparable to the US. Pass all the laws you want allowing mobility and trade between EU members, you’re still not going to bridge the deep language and culture divides between the countries.

That does seem rather lopsided:\
The subreddit you’re in is what decides whether your opinion will be upvoted. If you go to a video game’s specific subreddit and say “I know you all like Call of Duty, but Call of Duty sucks”, then you will be downvoted into oblivion even if you’re “correct”. Same goes for things like politics and bitcoin. The subreddits all end up attracting people who have a certain opinion and outcasting the rest.

GDP isn't wealth, it is a measure of output over a period of time (and wealth is an amount at a point in time). It is also, generally, quite misleading because a nation can produce a tremendous amount of output, and all of that can be siphoned into an offshore account in Switzerland (KSA is an example, but there are also more subtle examples like Germany).

And measuring wealth is very, very complex. Do you include pensions? How do you value a state pension? Do you include housing? How do you value housing? But if you look at relative net financial wealth (inc. pensions, you are likely going to Google and find something that doesn't include pensions) then the statement is true...the US and Switzerland are way out ahead on net financial assets, and in datasets that include pension wealth then you have Australia up there too (which has one of the most successful pension systems in the world, very strong economy too but they punch above that weight when looking at wealth).

Again though, measuring these kind of things is complex so you have to not only be able to Google a ranking system but understand exactly how the pension system is structured in that country, how is the financial sector structured, how is the tax system structured, etc. The US is consistently at the top by any measure though.
Just speculation but... There have been a bunch of issues with single countries inside the EU doing the USs bidding. Given how the EU is deviating strongly from US policy, if I were country 1, I'd be worried countries 2-26 might be leaking, undermining or otherwise breaking ranks...

What I've learned of "good" program design in my career has come mostly from watching people maintain systems after the original authors have left the project. Compositional systems with well defined abstractions and ownership boundaries seem to fair better over time. They are generally easier to extend while maintaining the abstractions. Unfortunately, most systems in production aren't designed this way. The majority of systems designed at the companies I've worked for are done so by entry or junior level developers. This usually has do with how the promo process works at these companies but thats a separate discussion. Dealing with the pain that poorly designed systems cause really highlights the properties that make certain systems well designed. To gain the experience here get on a project team that has an oncall rotation, preferably a 24hr rotation. If the team has a group of dedicated support engineers even better. This to me is an indication that the team's systems have a high operational load which is usually caused by poor design choices. You'll quickly start to identify the pain points in the system. Next, try to address those pain points. Rinse and repeat for years and you'll understand "good" design.

I think there's an unsaid thing here where the author means "money" when they say "possibility". The range of possible financial outcomes in the US is wider, there's definitely a lot more investor money flowing - both in technology and the arts. There's a type of runaway wealth that's achievable in the US that seems far less likely in Canada.

Which is the general theme of financial outcomes in the US: the highs are higher... and the lows are lower. It's the land of possibility and also the land of destitution and desperation. We contain multitudes, I suppose.

Being in tech and not the arts I can't say I know exactly what the author is describing - but certainly the tech "brain drain" of Canadians to the US has been overwhelmingly about money as opposed to the vague notion of "possibility". It seems valuable to not mince words about that - it's fine to want the kinds of outlier financial outcomes that the US makes possible and that's exceedingly rare in Canada, but one ought not conflate it with some other higher-minded notion.

If you work for, say, a FAANG company, you have pretty solid healthcare. Social security is surely limited, but there's good benefits for disability and so on.

The amount of money you can make in the US as an experienced engineer is probably 5 fold if not more. Senior engineers are easily pulling 7 figures here, which means even taking into account your cost-of-living, you'll end up fairly ahead.
