No: that free trade, low tariffs, and low export restrictions - free market principles - are implicitly championed by the supporters of insular, low freedom regimes that receive plaudits just because they had revolutionaries who promised fr

That's beyond their level of comprehension.

I'm happy about it, but agency regulations like this are notoriously flimsy and prone to overturn by administrative changes.

> Track record and conversational interviews are used for hiring lawyers, doctors, MBA and marketing professional.....why are programmers any different ? Doctors and lawyers have a nonprofit credentialing body that makes them take an ind

I wish on everyone complaining about tech interviews the misfortune of working with an incompetent fraud who makes their work life miserable. Jobs are on offer for 6 figure salaries that require nothing more metabolically taxing than typing

Not denying Ruby is good, but other than process forking, why should I prefer it to Python?

The problem with training new hires is that they can leave with the the skillset you invested in them. I realize of course that employer loyalty erosion may be in large part to blame for that being a big risk, but the issue should be acknow

3. Greece's unemployment rate is almost 11%. What a bizarre situation.

I think the point is that if such conclusions existed, they'd have to come from trained researchers undergoing peer review who exist only in academia. If the academic environment has moral taboos on their mere discussion, then the in

Younger, more left-leaning, and female faculty were generally more opposed to controversial scholarship. Utterly unsurprising to me.

Many chase tenure in the hope that they'll be sufficiently immunized against pressure.

I am amazed that despite the confluence of mainstream public health and influencers on the evils of excess sugar consumption that people still drink so much soda.

Not my experience at all. Ask a bootcamper a slight variation on a problem they're clearly doing from memory and they fold. Ask a solid CS person, and they usually get intrigued, and dive right in.

Nah, this will be an EEOC bogeyman.

I think the other replies miss an important part of your comment: Some of these projects were so late in their deadlines that had to be canceled Speed is really important a lot more often than devs like to acknowledge when a company is sm

Assuming you're familiar with basic programming concepts, it is practically speaking just the abstract definition of a way to ingest and pass around data in an unfamiliar context. Promises are a great example (packaging data for async

Crypto mining? Faster graphics processing for media? More powerful or lower power consumption phones/tablets/laptops? Medical imaging? Military? There was a tech world before AI!

Mortgages are quite old. The rapid relative unaffordability of houses relative to median household income is fairly new. I suspect other factors are at play.

That, and the barriers to entry of the practice of medicine. I'm not implying that credentialing is bad, but we need to be honest about the constraints on the supply side of the market.

I don't think a crash is coming. Nvidia actually has revenue growth. PE ratio is a very ordinary mid-60s after the Q2 earnings call. Even if the AI hype cycle dies, computing power has and continues to be the oil of the digital age. Gr

I call BS. The reason blood donation isn't compensated is to avoid addicts polluting the supply for a $50 drug fix - these are not people who plan well long term about their health.

You're preaching to the choir, my friend. But I didn't feel like courting that battle today. Everyone in the organization transplant process except the donor benefits. And what do we have to show for that injustice? 8000 peopl

A touching essay, but to my mind, the bioethics of organ donation that have become law (in most Western countries) are the major culprit behind organ scarcity, treating economic realities of supply, demand, and risk as taboo. I would 100% s

I cannot strongly enough recommend you find and build a relationship with a Direct Primary Care doctor. It will totally change your relationship with modern medicine. Not only will that doctor actually care about your health continuously, b

That's it, I'm going talk to my doctor about getting the Galleri test. I was already on the fence, but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. (It isn't advertised as targeting his specific cancer, but god

I'm no fool. I stash a lot away. If I'm lucky, I'll retire early. If not, I'll have more than enough cushion to pivot without a major disruption in lifestyle. I certainly saw enough instability in every other profession

Just the lingering endless possibilities of youth. I don't mind being a dev. Wouldn't say I _love_ it, but the stresses of the job really aren't that bad compared to other jobs I've had. IME, people are often (not always

As someone who has obligations to provide for a family in the USA, I can't imagine leaving dev work without an absolute clear passion and burning drive to do something specific. Giving up a six figure income I use to feed and house my
