I don't think this is true. I remember when I was in the Army, I was a commissioned officer, and a whole lot of junior enlisted Soldiers who were discharging were intentionally looking to go work at Amazon fulfillment centers. While I imagine they're not "great" jobs in terms of the working conditions, they did seem to pay better than anything else you could do without specialized skills in the areas they were located in. As long as the job is full time and offers health insurance, that's gold in a lot of places. Keep in mind the cost of living can be extremely low in rural areas. I think back to a good friend from college that came out to LA to live with me 20 years ago to follow his dream of being a television writer. We shared a 2-bed place that was something like $1,400 a month or so back then. Where he was from, Charles Town, WV, the rent on a comparable place was between $100 and $200 a month. A full-time job that pays more than double the federal minimum wage is more than enough to make it there.

It definitely isn't in New York City, of course, which starts to get at the real problem, but this isn't really an Amazon problem. No matter how strong a union ends up being, they're not going to push wages high enough for unskilled labor to ever be able to comfortably live in a place like New York City, but New York City still needs things like Amazon fulfillment centers. This is a problem with cities in general. None of them can house the low-skill populations they nonetheless require to do most of the labor required to make a city livable for everyone else.
I guess eventually everybody's data will be leaked (are we there yet?) and companies that would like to make loans will have to come up with some other way of verifying their customers.

The credit system is a scam anyway. Oh wow thanks Equifax, you think I should be allowed to go up to my eyeballs in debt. What an honor, I'm flattered.
I think it's fantastic.

Growth will be slow. This is something like xmpp or mastodon, people will use it for sure, it will grow over time, but you're not going to see an explosion of use like amazon did. Keep at it, your work is much needed and this system you're building is wonderful.

Don't concern yourself with monetization too much. I know you need to eat, HN is populated largely by people in startups (because it's run by a sv startup accelerator) and you'll have a lot of replies asking you how you'll monetize and giving you advice on that. Don't do anything too hasty, don't break what you're building by being short sighted. You can run storefronts as a service to people who don't want to, that's in your back pocket (or front pocket, I don't know your plans), so changing the open dynamic of this thing is not necessary and it would end the whole value proposition of what you're building.

I don't know if you are familiar with OpenBazaar, if you aren't take a look at it and see if you can get any ideas from it, or even if you think what you're building could improve on it. I think it's cool but lacking and I think what you're putting together could actually be widely useable.
Maybe they don’t want their identity and their opinions to be linked.

Look at Intel. It's a western company, but it famously fell behind its competitors due to offering comparatively shit pay and conditions to its staff, so the best people left.

As far as I know, working in a non-chip part of Intel in the 90s, the place was always an abusive sweatshop except maybe for some top people. And Intel isn't some failed from the start enterprise - they're currently third or so in a long, long competition among fabs, chip-makers and etc. They had a long, long successful run while being awful.

Essentially, model the of gaslighting, abusing and discarding people works great as long as a company can keep their employee's illusions alive and/or trapping them so they have no choices regardless.

As far as I know, Apple pays well compared to the US median for a job but poorly relative to other FANG companies. Plenty of tales of abuse and secrecy exist in Apple but plenty of people assert the virtues of working there and show great loyalty.

Which is to say these practices are very common in globally competitive markets. A company that pays well and inspires great loyalty and hard work from it's employees can always be undercut by a company that pays shit and still inspires great loyalty and hard work from it's employees. And if the model falls-apart, it can be rebuilt elsewhere (this is the problem/challenge of markets that are truly global).
Developer Blogs for Lazy Bloggers
I have to ask, do you think you are being convincing? I've heard most of these talking points, but don't find them as compelling as you do. That means it's probably not some information that you have that I don't, so more bullet points probably aren't going to be convincing.

What is your mental model for why we seem to come to different conclusions from the same information?

Are you ready for the internet? (1994) [video]
> Strangers on the internet will come across your little random story if it's public, and rather than blaming first-time readers for not understanding the context nor the voice of the author, maybe the author could adjust the article to provide the context or make the voice stronger/more obvious?

I'm not "blaming" anyone. I'm just pointing out that the commenters here are missing the point of the story because they don't understand the context, and that this is a fairly common phenomenon.

I think it's fine to tailor your writing to a community of like-minded readers rather than a first-time reader from here that is unlikely to come back.

> Honestly, I'm fine with not understanding everything from communities I don't generally hang-around, it's bound to happen at one point or another.

Me too, of course. It just makes a discussion without that context, i.e., what's happening here, detached from what the author meant with the post.
We don’t need silly statistics to show this. It’s just common sense.

An Adventure in Pre-Rendered Backgrounds (2019)
I think young americans will work wherever the money is. I see people everyday (both american and non) that are in software because that's what pays right now.

You just have to talk to the nearest product owner, project manager, or bootcamp grad for an example.
Well it’s a good thing drdrang was just posting a missive on his blog and not in a job interview with you. But I guess if he does ever interview with you, you’ll remember his tongue-in-cheek missive and be dismissive, even if if never comes up in conversation.

That’ll show ‘em! Never write tongue-in-cheek blogs or else random weirdos who will never meet you will write you off as a candidate for an engineering team that doesn’t exist and that you don’t want to join in the first place.
I'm not Swedish, but a friend of mine showed me a website for it. Here is a random example of a person who lives in Täby, Sweden:

https://www.ratsit.se/19290708-Bertil_Thomas_Andersson_Taby/...

> Bertil Thomas Andersson - 1929-07-08 (93 years old) - Address: Lyktgränd 2 lgh 1706, 183 36 Täby, phone number 070-208 35 86

The website also adds information about income:

> (machine translation) In Täby, Bertil Thomas Andersson's home municipality, there are 5218 income millionaires. The proportion of people with payment notes in his postcode 183 36 is 7.3% and the average income is 295 679 SEK ($27,378) per year.

If the person runs any companies, that would be visible as well.

All of this is public information, for each individual and company in Sweden (except the ones that have requested to not be visible, or are protected)
This ignores the fact that there’s a number of companies that currently fab semiconductors in the United States. Phoenix/Mesa is one epicenter, but there’s also some high tech fabs in Oregon and New York.

I'm a generalist and an opinionated software engineer with experience both in management and as an indepth technical designer, I am looking forward to work with you.

Leave me your contact if you'd utilize my help with:

- Large web API implementations

- Software security and safety policies

- Automatic code quality checks and processes

- Software Engineer management coaching or mentoring

- Process and scoping help (how to leave development hell)

... and plenty other things, really. I am an independent problem solver, and I am certain we can figure out a way to solve your issues.

I've got ~7 years of full time experience. I've recently written code in TS (& React) and Python (deployment and architecture included) with traditional stacks (Postgre, Redis, etc. etc) and I'm comfortable with all the modern web oriented dev-stack. I've got some past experience with C#, PHP, and all kinds of scripting languages. I pick up languages quite quickly, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I've got a working knowledge of most programming paradigms.

Yup. I can't even imagine what could I accomplish if I'd have something like a "python library" for nixpkgs. I still use nixos but gave up fiddling with nix for a while, after trying to wrap some stuff I am using/developing.*

Thank you this was helpful.

I was not aware that HRT is a lifelong commitment.

Is there any concern that a major pharmaceutical company is essentially charging a lifetime subscription for you to be who you identify as?
Making Silicon from Sand
There are a couple of tricks I've figured out.

There's room in your setup for asymmetric screens. I currently have three 24" monitors set up side by side, with a much smaller 7" screen underneath, showing Grafana dashboards. At one point, I actually had two of the 7" screens. I also briefly had a "horse blinder" style 17" monitor at the side of my setup, because I worked adjacent to the hallway and didn't like seeing people coming towards me.

Bread tabs make great cable holders. PCI slot covers make great headphone rests.

Throwing a single switch to shut the whole desk off when you're done is immensely satisfying.

In the olden days, I didn't let the two big, boxy CRT monitors on my desk run me out of space. CRTs make great tables. At one point, I strapped an FM radio, TV tuner, and a small digital clock on top of one.

The backing legislation, Health and Location Data Protection Act of 2022 (S.4408), was forwarded to subcommittee on June 15 but hasn't seen any action since [0]. That said, I don't know how quickly the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation moves through things. From skimming the previous meeting agendas [1], it appears that they often take months before discussing bills. It's possible that they will discuss this bill before midterm elections, but I'm doubtful. According to the Senate's schedule [2], the Senate has 33 more working days before midterms. I don't see enough momentum behind this bill to actually get it considered before midterms.

Fingers crossed for 2023, though.

The issue with Merlins was that Rolls Royce was manufacturing them whenever and by whomever by the time war got into full swing, which easily explains the differences between individual engines.

As for serviceability, the difference was in design - American engines were effectively "thrown over the wall" to airplane designers, resulting in such beautiful designs like B-17, where IIRC inspecting or changing a sparkplug started by removal of propeller because apparently even good idea fairy was out drinking when they designed it.

In comparison Rolls Royce designed a standard "pod" for the engine that would be then minimally adapted by plane designer, with an eye towards servicing and commonality.

So the tolerances might have been tighter on US production lines, but little thought was placed at least in some designs on how to support operations on the planes instead of just building them. (Something that arguably is present today with F-16 at least, and possibly F-35 too)

Using naturally skilled animals to pick up where we humans either fail or deny an issue is something we should seriously consider as a hedge at this point. If we can get extremely rich people even more rich by doing so, we may have a chance at it catching on.

Those sound like problems with the pupils, not the school. This is not semantics - it affects how to solve the problem, and informs what consequences various solutions may have.
You're right, amazon is a logistics company first and foremost. But if you can replace the website with something like this and then let all the other logistics providers (ups, USPS, FedEx, dhl unfortunately) handle the logistics you can re-enable competition in this space.

Czech people hate Polish and that's fact. However, regarding this brown coal mine, czech coal mines are very nearby and these ones are not toxic / dangerous to the environment? Sure, they are and my father took part in installing early warning system on many rivers coming from czech as they are being constantly polluted by them. Of course, when czech do it, it's completely fine
You are trying to solve a real-world problem experienced by a lot of profitable companies, so there is already a market of paying customers waiting for this. One of my clients is actively trying to reduce their dependence on Amazon and instead integrate with other marketplaces.

I see it's just Shopify-to-Shopify for now - bravo for starting with probably one of the most costly integrations. I'm working with a client right now who had to build these integrations using a low-code drag-n-drop platform which allows a quick MVP but has slow job processing, so isn't great for high order volume.

The "amazon" comparison is good for marketing - sure you're not doing all their marketing, or having their reach but you are connecting suppliers, buyers and fulfilment which is a genuine problem.

The companies who would use this often have developers on board already, so providing open source, accepting contributions and turning this into a useful dev-friendly service will almost certainly find paying customers.

"That work isn't necessarily easier", is obviously implying that it can be easier, or is roughly equivalent. Your entire comment was a clever way of turning the tables on software engineers. Please don't insult my intelligence by pretending otherwise.

> My point is your comment about "attitudes exacerbating downward mobility" have nothing to do with why people don't want to work in semiconductor manufacturing.

It has everything to do with why they don't want to do software engineering. I can't tell you how many of my educated peers think it's "lame" or "selling out" to work in a skilled career rather than being a bartender, activist, starving artist, etc.
Wait, I feel like the goal posts are being moved - I was never arguing for their specific demands, we were talking about the methods of protest they use. Does that mean you've come around on your viewpoint?

> Comparing these people - who again state their goal as turning off human civilization - to Rosa Parks is a bit much.

How so? I drew the comparison because you were saying that protests which are viewed as whiny, annoying demonstrations are ineffective (I'm paraphrasing here), but I was making the point that many important and effective protests of the past were viewed the same way before. I'm not saying their cause is as noble, just that the methodology is comparable. If you think that they are not comparable, even though the reaction to each is generally the same, I'd be curious as to what you think makes them so unrelated.

Oh, wow, Battalion Wars! I never managed to beat it (surprisingly hard, IIRC), but I remember being blown away that a developer had actually tried to implement both the top-down RTS mechanic and the grunt-on-the-ground 3PS mechanic in the same game. I don't think anyone had really tried that since Dungeon Keeper, and rarely since.

Off the beaten path here, but just for my own curiosity: did Nintendo seek you guys out when they wanted a third party to try their hand at the license, or did you go to them with the pitch for "3D Advance Wars in real time"?
This sounds extreme, but it's not as extreme as everyone seems to think.

200M is closer to 37M (+163M) than 370M (-170M).

OP is saying a 10% decrease is more likely than the population staying even.

I disagree - but not as wildly as I would if OP was saying that the population is likely to actually be close to 37M.

200M is quite far from 37M... It's just that 370M is even farther...
I think the biggest win with some progressive typing would be better error diagnostics. Right now the errors are horrifyingly bad in many cases, puking out massive recursive stack traces that have nothing to do with the real problem. Being able to pinpoint exactly where the square peg is going into a round hole would be amazing.
In the first case, intentions are clear from the start, so user trust can be built.

In the second case, intentions have been hidden or they have changed, which obviously erodes user trust.

Ah, I forgot about P-39 and P-40. Pretty sure Merlin was present in the design from start, or at least consideredin contract if not manufactured from start with it (I somehow doubt the RAF would have accepted the high altitude performance of Allison engine)
But more and more AAA playstation titles get their doz port, there is less and less incentive to get a playstation. Not that I like the playstation more, I play games on elf/linux (no proton because it is doz grade bloat and kludge, I would tolerate a very lean wine win64/vulkan abstraction layer).
18 hours is a pretty stupid selling point IMO. You either need something immediately or you can wait. Rarely do I need anything 18 hours from now.

I think many sellers would love to not be locked into Amazon and at least use something like this as an additional alternative. I'm on the other side of the table where I avoid buying from Amazon as much as possible.

By doing some napkin math, it seems at least 200K Steam Decks have come online since launch (one of which is mine!). Production also has ramped up just last week or so, so next month we'll see it even more I think.

Biggest change will happen around Christmas is my guess. If it manages to overtake macOS already at that point remains to be seen, but unless they happen to get supply chain issues, I wouldn't be surprised it would happen already.

Yes, that's the entire purpose of the AGPL. If that's the outcome this person wants for their project, they should consider the AGPL.

I'm attempting to counter the narrative that no corporation would touch any AGPL software, because it's clear that how you are using the software is an important part of the equation.
I was referring to OP's product. The non-book part of Amazon sources the majority of their products from asia. Bookshop was just a point of comparison. Their schtick is to complain on media (said media is conveniently on an anti-big tech crusade right now) about small indie book stores being oppressed by Amazon while ignoring the fact that most publishing is centralized upstream.
