And that's how you end up with a system which very few top performers want to work under. I positively shudder at the thought of a system which coupled my compensation to years of experience. That is in no way a reliable gauge of abili

Online applications in general are rarely successful. Pardon my directness, but if you've applied to 100+ jobs then you're likely doing it wrong. You are almost always better off finding a quality set of positions (10-15) and gett

Secession can certainly be illegal, but that simply means any outcome of an unsanctioned referendum is legally irrelevant. As far as I can tell, Spain is going to great lengths to curtail the rights of citizens to express their opinions on

I don't currently own any furniture. For the past few years, I've been moving every month or two and never acquired any furniture.

For what it's worth, Google does support 2FA with USB security keys: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6103534?hl=en Personally I wouldn't trust most sites to implement complex auth mechanisms.

The notion of a referendum being "illegal" is farcical. No democracy should prohibit people from deciding to get together and conduct a poll on something.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Personally, IKEA fits my lifestyle pretty well as a young urban-dweller. I don't really anticipate having my furniture for more than 5-10 years and their aesthetic definitely matches my preferences. I&#x2

It's not particularly difficult but nor is it particularly fun. I certainly don't plan to assemble the furniture for my next apartment myself.

It's not clear to me what good this does. Say a narrow set of "information" sources follow this model and produce quality journalism. Meanwhile the vast majority of traffic continues to go to "entertainment" journal

Any moderation would be a start. Gab's whole raison d'etre is to be an unmoderated social network where you can post the hate speech which would get you kicked off more mainstream networks.

You should read more carefully, or listen to interpretations from lawyers. The license referred to in that document is the license to any Facebook patents granted within, which might not even exist. The patent grant is separate from the c

I'm going to stop engaging with you, since it's clear that you'd rather make up facts and deliberately misinterpret my statements than discuss in good faith. For example, I specifically said $60k/yr in expenses —which o

You lose the patent grant, which applies to all Facebook open source projects (not just React), so they can use all patents they own as part of a defensive portfolio. If initiating a patent war with Facebook is a foreseeable business outcom

The patent clause isn't designed to give Facebook leverage. It's designed to grant patents unless you sue them. Even though patent trolls don't use React, Facebook wants to ensure that they don't grant patent licenses

My estimate is skewed downwards because you asked for average, and a significant percentage of the cohort is new grads and relatively inexperienced developers. Senior developers can certainly make above $300k. You seem to put far too much s

Personally, I have a hard time imagining that any Facebook patents you use with React wouldn't also apply to Preact. Then again, I think this whole patents issue is mostly FUD. The number of companies who have to reasonably consider su

It's certainly more than 1%. Top tech companies alone employ more than 1% of developers. > There are plenty of talented people, even in these "top" tech companies, who do not have 6-7 offers thrown at them That doesn'

> If this were true, salaries would be skyrocketing In my corner of the world, they definitely are. I think a lot of these discussions are complicated by the fact that there are essentially two developer job markets: prime and sub-prime.

I don't dispute that there are poorly-run companies which want to underpay and abuse their developers. We don't need a union to solve those companies. Just don't work for them.

Yes. They are supposed to return it eventually, and even if they don't I'm willing to pay $1,000 to protect civil liberties.
