Right or wrong, fair or not, these hurdles are in place because of economic migration. People want to move to richer countries where even menial jobs pay much much more than their home countries, and they can enjoy more advanced infrastruct

People have a need, or hope, for improvement; of themselves, their station in life, their freedoms and affordances, etc. It doesn't need to be actual growth, as in population, mountains of 'goods' (which are getting less and

It's a piece of cake, just start a youtube channel with lots of feel-good hypothetical 'you can be rich too' content.

There's only a shortage if you assume the current economic model which requires growth. The environment would certainly be better off with fewer people.

Cultured foods are a huge opportunity, but meat, at least steaks etc, or even mince, probably need much more work. In the meantime, oils, juices, dairy, pulps and perhaps flours seem like prime candidates for cultured production, either bio

Perhaps, but online seems to be a race to the bottom. The list of age-friendly industries others are posting are difficult remote - insurance, banking, defense, education - all usually need to be in-person due to security/data concerns

It's not just about salary. Of course the assumption is that they have to pay more for more experience. But it's also about perceived power and control. Younger workers are seen as more compliant, and many managers do not feel com

Aa an idea on it's own, yes, pretty obvious and therefore pretty worthless.

"hydrogen fuel cells ... Not exactly sure why they don't get much more love." Hydrogen is just pretty bad as an energy carrier, since it's so difficult to handle. The main attraction currently is that hydrogen fuel cells

It's easy to dismiss ideas as worthless etc if you never have any good ones. Of course anything obvious like 'uber for X' is worthless. And sure, success is 90% perspiration, but that's also wasted without the matching 1

video game 'prescription'? lol The game doesn't look anything special to me, what are the key traits that make it suited as a treatment? Or did they simply run a clinical trial and get FDA approval as a treatment because of t

It's not the only one doing this. It almost feels like a final squeeze before some kind of collapse.

Sounds like mid-life crisis! Go out and buy a fast car, teenage fashions, and pick up a young girlfriend or two, lol. But seriously, try a new hobby (and meet other people doing it), learn a language or musical instrument, join a choir, tak

Not the OP, but the 'decision' section is the place to describe trade-offs and rejected solutions, I think? To start a new project, an overall 'design' or 'requirements' section. I'm not sure how you'

"These companies then use the money for their growth, operations, r&d, job creation, etc." lol, and stock buy-backs, and other cash grabbing schemes. Honestly these points are all weak.

whataboutism? Sure I trust Mozilla more than Google/Microsoft. But less so, now.

The fact they didn't loudly announce this 'feature' has seriously undermined their trustworthiness, for me at least. What's the expression; 'So much depends on reputation. Guard it with your life'. Mozilla seem

'unsafe language' sounds like something out of '1984' or 'Animal Farm'; a totalitarian political euphemism, attempting to demonize all 'others'. The reality is that no language is actually 'safe&

And it's even worse being stuck out of a job. It seems like such a crazy dynamic at the moment, there must be some sage economic/social/network theory that helps explain what's going on. Perhaps it's just a case of

Is the obfuscated-C style really necessary? Last I checked, compacting C source did not directly result in tighter object code.

My first job, I had an hour or so to learn vi, and show what I'd learned, then write a basic program (not much more than hello world) in C, of course using vi. Second job similar actually, only this time it was their awful proprietary
