Two major issues. One- indent only code is nearly impossible to find bugs in. I've seen teams of programmers look for weeks for the source of an issue, it ended up being 1 line that used a tab instead of spaces. Indentation fails because of such issues.
Secondly, you can't copy paste cleanly from the web with an indentation based language.
Either of those is a disqualified by itself. Both together make it such a brain dead choice nobody should even look at a language that uses it
ALso add in people who choose to switch from public transport to cars. I know many people who take public transit because they don't want to drive in traffic. If a car was self driving, they'd choose it over a crowded, smelly, loud bus in a second.
Oh, and elderly who can no longer safely drive.
Self driving cars won't reduce traffic or the need for parking. It will be somewhere in the no change to 20 percent worse.
No they wouldn't. You're assuming that with autonomous vehicles we wouldn't still all own our own autonomous cars. I see no reason to believe that would be the case. I'm not going to sit around waiting for 10 minutes for a car to be available and drive to my house every time I want to drive- I'm just going to own my own car. If anything it will increase the need for parking space, as minors not capable of driving may be given cars to drive them.
No, it isn't. Believe it or not, people shared code before GitHub. They generally hosted it themselves, or used other popular sites like sourceforge. Claiming that one company has more due merely due to GitHub contributors is ridiculously incomplete to the point of uselessness.
GitHub is popular, but there's dozens of other places to host your code. Most developers don't use it.
Congratulations you just described what AI is. Its a bunch of algorithms strung together with heuristics to implement someone's best idea of how to do something. Believing it to be anything else means you spend too much time reading sci-fi books and not enough time actually studying AI. All anything based on processors and software can ever be is just that. The question is how well can that drive a car? The answer is it isn't quite there but we're getting a lot closer. I don't really expect it in the next 10 years, but we will get there.
We don't need to, because the program doesn't need to make the decision in the same way, it just needs to come to a correct outcome. Basically it needs to be able to process the images/radar info/other input and come to a decision as to whether its about to hit anything and if so what to do about it. That is something that we're becoming capable of doing (and improved image recognition will push this along). But the path taken to get there can be completely divergent from how humans think.
I don't go out and about without my wallet, so my credit card is always on me. Using an app isn't any more convenient, its less so. And I have to figure out the risks and insecurities of a new method of payment. I'll just keep swiping my credit card instead, thanks.
I mean really- who the hell really thinks taking out your phone, unlocking it, moving it over a sensor, and typing your pin into an app is more convenient then taking a card from your wallet and making one swipe?
Sometimes. And then I have to find a salesman, show them the price, argue them into it (as they try to claim they only price match brick and mortar), and deal with their hard sales and trying to talk me into buying a warranty. I'd rather just buy it on Amazon and not deal with their salesmen. Unless I absolutely want it today I'm not even going to ask them to match.
No, it isn't. THe credit agency managed to convince employers that it made sense. But there's never been any solid evidence that it does. Of course the idea of running credit checks for employment came up around the same time as red lining. So its mainly a dog whistle way to exclude blacks.
Music- data costs. I have a plan where I pay 10 dollars per GB. I generally use under 1 GB per month. Why stream and pay if I already have the music I want?
Photos- I threw out my camera 3 phones ago. I don't want to carry extra hardware, and the difference in quality is negligible given I almost never take photos and I'm a mediocre photographer with no interest in getting better. I have no reason to ever buy a camera again. I actually have more accidental screenshots in my photos directory than I have purposely taken photos.
videos- see photos.
That said- my few photos I do take are synched to the web instantly for backup, and I have plenty of storage for music without an SD card.
Was never a manager, although I was a tech lead. I'm making that much less due to lucky timing on RSUs that were continuing to vest.
My experience with startup workers is the exact opposite. Smart owners fill the top positions with talent, even if they need to pay to get it. You might cheap out on things like manual testers and go for the guy still in college, or take a flyer on that new guy out of college for the 10th member of your dev team, but you aren't doing that on core positions.
Of course maybe that's why the startups I went to all exited successfully.
Or because we've worked at the large companies and while the money is good, there's no feeling of importance or ability to effect the product. Even at some of those companies who pride themselves at it. Some of us are just miserable phoning it in.
Now I agree- never work for free unless you're getting cofounder level equity. But given a choice between a megacorp and a startup, I'll happily take less at the startup. In fact I recently just did that- sure I'm making 200K less (not including whatever the new equity becomes worth) but dear god am I happier.
I work at a startup. I might deal with a missed payday or two- but I'd be expecting straight up equity in lieu of pay. Not paying me and not giving me equity or interest? Not happening.
It is Ireland's burden to remove the illegal laws. But that doesn't mean Apple gets to keep their illegal gains. This isn't just a case of changing the rules, its saying the old rules were illegal so they never could have applied in the first case. Meaning their special privlidges should never have existed and they have to pay the same rate as everyone else. If they don't like that, they shouldn't lobby for special rules. Personally I'd say they should be fined a multiple to prevent them from trying again- right now they really have no reason not to. If it works even one time in 10 they make money on it.
The density allowed. Over 90% of San Francisco is zones for a max of 3 stories. You don't need all the owners to be willing to sell, you nearly need a percentage of them to be. There's enough profits to be made by tearing down old 2-3 story buildings and replacing them with 10 story ones to let the market do the rest.
Increase the density allowed and allow building of mid and high rise appartments inside of SF and other bay area suburbs. Not an instant fix, but it would fix it over a decade.
Wow, you're ignorant. I actually live in the area. The citys are all for the buses and want to expand the programs. The protestors are locals. Of course there are low income residents of SF- they live with roommates, with their parents, or in rent control. They're being priced out, and that's why they're angry. They don't actually care about the buses- they're angry at the raise in rents, and the symbol of them are the big tech companies. They think that without the buses the tech workers would move further into the valley and lower rents in SF. Not realistic, but they're angry and desperate.
The government isn't the one complaining. they're happy to have the company busses and are renting the bus stops to them. THe people complaining are low income/long term residents being priced out in rent- the bus complaints are just another factor of the rent complaints.

Google made money on Motorola by selling its parts. Even if you value the patents at zero they came out ahead

Depends on the item I'm purchasing, but yes. Especially when we're talking about best buy employees. Never has a good experience there.
Yeah, just don't care. Buying on Amazon is still simpler, just doing that.

Best Buy is already the place you go to before you buy it cheaper on Amazon. This will kill nearby ones.

Or if its set up by a corporation which can safely go bankrupt.

No,you're going to rewrite it to a for loop because its more maintainable, more easy to change with changing requirements, and more understandable.
