And 100% of people will live much worse lives 100 years in the future, all because we're blind to see the somewhat obvious result of all this hockey stick growth...

"When you don't need it" If you're doing any kind of database / external network calls - won't you gain a huge amount of requests per second? I ask partly because on one of my projects, we have a fastapi app, b

Does the lack of async still make Flask a good choice for non-hobby web projects?

Based on the comments it seems this practice started when eBay switched to their own internal payments system. A lot of anecdotal evidence in the thread that this is a common thing. I assume there is more to it...

I think the 1 easiest way to improve schools right now would be to differentiate kids by ability. Right now, teachers have a handful of kids 1-2 grades above their peers, a handful of kids who are 1-2 grades below their peers, some ESL kids

Yes, I think they probably hijacked the scrolling because they thought they could do it better. It's pretty awful IMO.

> you find a good contractor for your area This is the hard part. All the good contractors do this themselves, or they charge so much you don't make any money on the sale, or they're booked out 3 months in advance.

And recommended content. All content should only be surfaced via search, or lists that are the same for every user. And autoplay next content should default to off.

There is no "us" when we have this level of income inequality and workers are treated like dirt. You have to be a fool now to think your company actually cares about you.

I think the core issue is the younger generation sees that the American Dream is bullshit and they aren't putting up with it anymore. We're told from a young age that if you get educated and work hard you will be successful. You w

Yeah... this was my first thought too. There is already VR avatar chat. This is not anything new.

Not all forests, obviously. But the ones that people are generally hiking in, the trails are maintained. Not many people go off trail.

This will certainly get appealed and bogged down even more in the legal system, right? What are the chances this actually happens? And when? Secondly, this is such an easy way to increase your take by 20+% that I would imagine almost every

Lawns are dumb. Replace it with a garden. When the collapse happens you will be thankful you did.

I could be wrong, but I think that "untouched" forest is not really going to be so nice unless you let natural wildfires come by every decade and clear out the undergrowth, or you have a lot of big animals naturally making trails,

The article specifically mentions programmers as well... Lower floor because a global workforce increases supply of programmers available to the western market. Higher ceiling because every company is now competing for the top people, who a

It's the red queen effect though, as soon as you make the IAP, you quickly advance, but then you will soon hit the next plateau. So you're stuck again unless you keep making IAPs. If a game is pay-to-win, you have to keep paying a

Do brokerages give all this info to the SEC so they can do this type of analysis and then be able to personally identify the buyers/sellers? It seems wrong that my personal info is being given out by my brokerage, in a way that lets th

But Netflix also has an agreement with whoever owns distribution rights in the other country though... that's why the VPN trick works. Just let me pay extra for the other country, what would be the problem there?

by socialist_coder 5y ago
Why can't Netflix just allow people to buy another subscription for a new country? I wouldn't mind paying extra to unlock additional content from another country.

Super lame. In the US, we use a German VPN so that we can get access to more German language content on both Amazon Prime and Netflix. It's the only way my half-German kids can stay fluent with their native tongue. If there were a lega

You need to take responsibility for yourself. If it bothers you that much, don't let yourself get pulled into political discussions! It's really not that hard. Why do you care if other people waste their time arguing dumb politics

In theory you have a valid point, but in practice it just hasn't been an issue. See the previous commenter who pointed out that every engine company, with the exception of Unity, has always released games on their own engine. I have
