Because this is an article about The Times.

> with the obvious implication that you're calling the person stupid because they're American and hold some view you view as stereotypically American

Actually I'm accusing them of having their brains poisoned by American free market dogma.

Absolutely, without question, yes.

How about in practical terms?

This assumes that every bitcoin ever mined stays in circulation. We know this isn't true. We know that millions of dollars of bitcoin have gone missing, never to be recovered. And if Bitcoin is the real deal (it probably isn't) then we've only just started. If this thing hangs around for decades or even centuries we will see trillions more go missing.

Bitcoin is fundamentally not a cash alternative. Which means definitionally the alternative to holding onto $100 BTC is NOT holding onto $100 cash. In fact cash is intentionally inflationary and BTC is intentionally deflationary (over long enough time scales) so yeah, you'd win your silly bet if there's no major crash. Doesn't mean you'll come out ahead of other strategies.

I don't care about the time, but I'm utterly horrified at the waste of resources.

Can't we all just agree that Maybe/Optional types are actually a great idea that generalizes all of this at minimal cost?

Yup I'm utterly fed up with AirBnb and won't consider using them again.

People still talk about Bitcoin as though it's a real market and not completely manipulated by a handful of key players? Ok then.

So you can.

Maybe if you have a very big apple. 1 nM is the force of 1 Newton (1kg on Earth) at 1 meter.

It's not

Literally you're describing the reason minimum wages exist.

> Between Office and cloud and HR/payroll and a few other tools I can imagine $1,000/year.

Really? You can imagine only #83/mo in software costs for a working professional? I think you're being really rather unimaginative.

> With Uber want to work? Press a button. Want to take a break? Press a button. Want to work again? Press a button. Take as long a break as you want. Work as long as you want. No timecards. No obnoxious coworkers. No intrusive questions. No douchebag bosses making your life a living hell. In what other job do you have this sort of freedom without the instability of traditional selfemployment? What more could you ask for? Now it'll all be ruined for everybody because of the greed and entitlement of a few.

Interesting that you forgot to mention the below-minimum-wage rates here

How many non-server machines do you find yourself regularly needing a shell on where downloading it isn't an option? Why does it need to be pre-installed?

> Does that mean that a taxi driver is an employee? Of course not.

Why not?

There's no reason to bake tools like this into an OS or tie them to OS versions. Download the tools you need. If you need to "bake" them anywhere, bake them into your containers.

Are you implying that Reddit is concatenating SQL queries instead of parameterizing properly? Because based on the reliability of the website I'm not surprised by this, but it's still hilarious.

> Mawakana just hired a new head of fleet operations, Ryan McNamara, who previously worked on product quality for the Google Pixel phone

As the previous owner of 2 Pixel phones, this man is the last person on Earth I want in charge of operations of a fleet of 2-ton automated vehicles. No offence.

It doesn't look like it gives me anything I don't get from the vue cli tools.

Because of the search results.

There is absolutely no way to prepare such an exam without (justified) accusations of bias.

This is more or less the model that Basecamp uses with their rewrites. New product with new features and a strong encouragement to come along, but guaranteed support if you can't.

Literally my life right now.

It's. Not. Inevitable. I'm sorry that that has been your experience, but it doesn't have to be this way.

> the answer should be more nuanced.

Not it shouldn't. We know that these companies are morally corrupt. When you sell your time to help grow these companies you are also morally corrupt. Simples.

Yes, absolutely.

Or you could not do that. Did he not just show that his way works just fine?
