Your "Least risk" scenario of Amazon offering you a significantly higher base pay than you make now does not exist and will not exist:

> 1. Least risk/least possible reward - work for AWS all cash - no risk of downside. But no upside potential

Likewise, as I said elsewhere, "there's no magical massive upfront pay increase forthcoming that would make up for lost residuals. That was never on the table at any time. There's no way for actors and writers to avoid getting screwed if they don't get residuals." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36927858

> Amazon isn’t going out of business.

That's not the risk. As I said in my previous comment, the risk is that Amazon lays you off. Or maybe they'll put you on PIP and force you to leave.
I'm skeptical about calling it a disability, because a lot of these mechanisms and dark patterns are made to prey on everyone's nature.

Some people may more susceptible to those stimuli, but I don't see it a disability, but as natural neurodiversity.

So happy to see my favorite IDE for the last 30 years being actively developed and maintained. Multiple IDEs have come and gone over those 30 years, and I waved to them on their way as they arrived and then as they passed away into nothingness.

Every time a new IDE arrived, crowds cheered, and it was all the rage and fashion, while my Emacs was called "obsolete", "hard to use", "bizarre", and other things. I spent some time over those 30 years looking at new IDEs, trying them out, configuring them, and each and every time this was time wasted, because the IDE was discontinued, abandoned, or otherwise became useless.

If I could tell something to my younger self, it would be: keep faith in solutions that are open and have been around for a while, you will save a lot of time over the years.

It seems to me how the relevant part of the book is the attempt to categorize people in the three (macro) groups, though of course the formula to be used is up to debate.

The 10% of age multiplied by current income sounds a little too simplicistic, as noted in the Wikipedia article it is definitely not accurate for young people, but probably is also not accurate for old/retired people, and it doesn't take into consideration the fact that (probably less likely at the time the book was published) people may have had in their life "bad periods" when they were unemployed or however had much lower than current income.

I like the analogy but I think there is an important difference: the issue settled in a boxing or MMA match starts and ends in the ring, but the issues covered in debate are social policies that depend on external truths and impact participants.

TFA gets into this in its last section about debate's impact on politics. Is it great to train a class of leaders based on competitive technique and effectiveness rather than external reality or support?

> What people often don’t consider is that even if that is true, the likelihood that you will care for someone with a disability — an aging parent, a spouse, or a child - increases the likelihood of lack of accessibility impacting your ability to enjoy your (shared) life.

Yes. Many many many people don't realize that their future holds experience with disabilities.

And wait until they have to deal with the young tech people calling all the shots on how products look, change, evolve, etc. This idea that we should constantly be updating our UI, workflows, and shoving new features in front of users as a way to push people to expand (and spend more) of what they do has created such a huge problem in our family for our aging relatives. We've had to constantly shift which tech we use to find stuff that's going to be the most simple and easy to help through through while on the phone.

To add: Mac OS X docker actually, after a while, without errors, stops responding to running dockers and you cannot remove them without reboot. It’s total garbage, but cannot move from it as everyone uses it.

So, emacs-stable alternative for docker. Maybe that should be a movement; emacs-alternative-for. I have many already; software that is fast, can run for months/years and doesn’t get slow vs stuff you need to actually reboot for to run ok. I mean emacs is bloated (yeah right, compared to whatever others are pushing out?) but disk space, even sdd is almost free; it simply runs for months without memory growth or performance degradation. The only reason I stop it because of reboot for sec updates.

I’ve only read half the article and stopped because it seems the author is hopelessly ignorant about some basic facts:

- The EU won’t start the process to admit the UK until joining is politically settled

- Until the Tory party is also onboard with rejoining, it can’t be politically settled

- The Tory party will only get onboard when it’s no longer possible to win power without wanting to rejoin

- Despite there being over 30m voters in the UK, our system ensures only a few hundred thousand swing voters decide the government

- Those voters are still in favour of Brexit

- Finally, ALL polls showing a majority rejoin exclude “Don’t knows,” meaning there’s no actual majority for rejoin

The above facts explain why the Labour Party is not campaigning to rejoin. Until a number of those are changed, the UK simply will not rejoin the EU.

Brexit was a top level decision disguised as populism. There won't be a new referendum predicated on polling that few trust, then or now. Continental Europe's future alignment may be to the East. The UK no more wants to be on that wagon, nor even the chance of it, than they did in WWI and WWII. Therefore, in my opinion, they won't be rejoining the EU. Articles like this are fodder.

No, what you just said is confusing. You can’t take good ideas from the past and apply them to the present. Times have changed. The situation is different now. We need new ideas, new philosophies, new approaches, to the new problems we face today. To return to whatever golden years you are referring to is a return to the dark ages, no matter how noble your intent. What we need is for people to stop wishing for golden years and make these years golden. You aren’t going to do that with 1950s thinking. We need 2050 thinking.

I really think we are modern slaves in a pseudo-liberal capitalistic wrapper. It's going to become clearer to future generations looking back, similar to how we are now able to detect and understand mistakes of the past. Male toxicity and patriarchy for example only recently began to surface as a mistake.

While we still jobs and offer our services to society there are a number of things that need to fix and delete from our collective consciousness. All these stem from the same root of evil: the office. Similar to plants, we, the workers are gathering there, under some occult organizational umbrella which sometimes resembles a "family". We need to be there on a specific time, do specific things, we are being monitored and controlled. We need to behave in a certain way and leave our true self at home. We need to blindly obey a person called "the boss" or "the manager" and act under some military discipline executing commands. We need to climb some ladder of promises, most of which fail to deliver. This is a dark place full of lack of trust, insecurity and control.

Diversity, flexible working, remote working, shared vision and mission are some of the things that we have realized and applied. I am glad that we did but there is still a lot of work to be done. Working needs to be more like the freelancer/consultant type where possible: get the job done and you're paid attitude, rather than a weird let's have you around stand-by just in case. Similar to how an electrician comes to your place fixes the damage and immediately leaves, where possible workers need to do the same. Can you imagine your electrician spending her day at your place, 9-5? Sitting there just in case? And you will get to threaten, trash talk, be the boss and give orders.

We are still in the Palaeolithic era when it comes to how we work, with some improvements indeed but with also the heaviest pressure from the most powerful people globally.
Ask HN: The collapse of web programming jobs
What do you think about Jon Blow's comment* on the (eventual) collapse of web programming roles? Is it happening right now in the US? The reason why I ask this is because I have seen many developers here express difficulty in finding jobs. Could we be in an early stage of a market contraction related to web development roles?

> had to weigh the balance and decide whether to ignore you as a heretic, or cannonize you as a saint

That doesn't seem the right characterization.

Francis of Assisi went to get authorization from the Pope early and defined himself and his movement as being part of "mother church".

Martin Luther was excommunicated while alive, as was Cauvin, or recently archbishop Milingo.

Canonization is kinda independent from being declared heretic.
I don't think that's true. Think about musicians -- someone can create incredible music and never make enough to support themselves, it happens all the time. Same with visual art. It has much less to do with quality and more to do with social trends, having a certain "look" or identity, etc. Sure, hard work and not sucking are the prerequisites, but they aren't enough on their own.
Britain has certainly fucked up infrastructure. Britain has many large cities and many of them do not have the infrastructure in terms of trains and metros. They contracted the bus network as well. In general doing a pretty bad job in terms of public transport.

Britain literally has the perfect geography for high speed rail, and yet France and Germany out-build them to a hilarious degree. Thankfully they are now doing some high speed rail.

This combines with the non buildings of housing, not building housing along transport corridors, making the housing situation increasingly worse and worse.

How much did this lead to issue? Hard to say. I don't pretend to understand the UK economy in full.
There are high IQ people who decide against being a doctor because its a lot easier to make $350k programming than working 60hr/week as a doctor (also no educational debt).

The only solution, dear reader, if you make it this far, is that you — not metaphorically but literally, you, the abled reader - must advocate loudly for accessibility. Even when it’s annoying.

No, I'm implying nothing like that.

The challenge the author set was to go without a phone for a "couple of weeks", not "for your entire life". For that to be a useful challenge and build empathy as is the goal, the people taking the challenge need to be put into a position where they must make a phone call at least once in those two weeks. Otherwise it does nothing at all.

The author appears to be upgrading their internet connection, moving, and arranging financing for a house in their totally normal week. For them, it is a useful challenge. But for my phone use patterns it is utterly useless. I'd need to run the experiment for a decade.

But thanks a lot for telling me that my lived experience is invalid and disproven by "data".

Were capitalism regulated, I'd agree with you - however the reality is that capitalism these days has devolved into monopoly and rent seeking:

Unhappy with your phone and especially internet provider? Good luck finding a new one, in most cases there is no competition at all or it's just as bad. Unhappy with your social network, say because there are too many Nazis and conspiracy theorists running rampant? Bad luck, no federation requirement means you'll lose all your followers and they'll lose you. Unhappy with your bank? Competition is just as fucked up. Unhappy with your railroad transport provider? Tough luck, they own the rails so you can't get another company to ship your stuff. Unhappy with your phone or PC operating system? Good luck, in the best case you just have to buy all your applications again (if they are even available at the competitor), in the worst you'll have to live with frankly sub-par open source alternatives. Your email provider banned you because you sent a photo of your naked child to the pediatrician? Even an international media outrage won't help you get your account, your digital life back.

The list goes on and on and on, and the common point is that anti-trust enforcement has gone completely down the drain.

Huh, it took me a while to find that there is a UI for exactly this object on "Details" tab.

I hope "Z1K1": "Z2" will be removed from UI soon. It is like "Q42 P31 Q5" for Wikidata - everyone understands it, but it is not the main interface.

Basically, at this point of development, consider this as a storage of Python (https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z10004) or Javascript code (https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z10005).

But instead of writing

def format_person_info(name, surname, birth_date, death_date):
return "{} {} ({}-{})".format(name, surname, birth_date, death_date)

you need to

1) create a page that declares a public interface for your function: and there is no "camel case vs snake case": function name will be "Format person info" (and フォーマット担当者情報 in Japanese, and so on), with arguments: name, surname, birth date, death date (again, people can add translations)

2) create a set of tests

3) create an implementation using Zvalues (see links above for example) in public interface. If this is not the first version, implementation can be reviewed and approved by some reviewer.

It wouldn't be realistic to think that I could wake up and not be able to use my voice effectively or have some sort of hearing problem. Or not be able to walk well. Or a number of different things. And at least at first, I'd not think to use text relay either. I might not think about it for a few weeks - it might get better, after all. In the meantime, I'd be getting increasingly frustrated at society.
