   I think software developer's high pay and relatively consequence free existence have given them a bit of thought leader quality in domains beyond their expertise. But it is not going to be the case for lot of developers soon. So pullin

   Finally, fraudsters are waking up to scientific methods and tools. Hoping soon unscientific frauds will be a thing of past.

   Right. If situation allows doing face to face is nice. But thing as they are lately doing via canned message or email is perfectly fine and one need not think any less of manager or employee just based on their communication method.

   > If you don't have the balls to tell an employee to his or her face that they don't... This is just bullshit. Managers don't have to do any such thing as it may become unnecessarily confrontational. Similarly lot of peopl

   Hehe, in here (US) tip for a bad hair cut in 15 dollars is 5 dollars. For better haircut maybe go for fancy salon if one is so particular about hairs.

   > If you knew that the total cost of the meal would be the same,.. Huh, why should I know this at all. I read the prices online or in restaurant when I enter in. I will assume that as my cost of food.

    Different because now list price of a sandwich is $8.99 instead of $14 that customer will actually pay. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, tours etc are master at this. Even after knowing these add-ons people fall for it often enough to keep thi

    More than technology it is cloud service. So I think code is not the most interesting part here.

    To me it seems Pulsar, a stream native sponsored project has not picked up. So a wrapper over Kafka/Pulsar with all Kafka compatibility and perhaps pulsar technology in cloud streaming engine is good business play.

    Agree. But those fat margins can get starting to be shared with CIOs, CTOs and other managers with purchasing power. IMO the constant hectoring at workplace about migration to cloud or cloud native crap is not coming from some deep technica

    > They are expected to write go. This got to be a joke right. The only thing I hear is at Google no one likes Go. Most software is in C++, Rust, Java or Kotlin.

    I mean hiring a lot over years did not make things any better so why not try the reverse.

    So failures are some deep valid reasons whereas success is developers don't know any better language.

    Yup, sounds very straightforward to me. At least ten days of mandatory strike should be mandated by law as it can resolve so many issues.

    The answer was right in Mira's resignation from OpenAI [1] “I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration.” To create time and space and even able to explore it is far beyond cutting edge physics of today. If she is able

    True. People here can be like this. I have not forgotten even the greatest juice maker of all times, Juicero was similarly disparaged with all this negativity.
