In the sense "will you still find new job listings in a decade if you learn it now", then I would say highly likely. In the case its not, the path from React to the Next Big Thing™ will be very publicised and you'll be drowning in blog posts describing the differences.
The parties in a dispute like that are likely to settle out of court, in a somewhat reasonable manner, instead of blindly applying the law until a judge automaton reaches a decision following the letter of the law.
With a smart contract, there can be no negotiation and attempt at reconciliation. The price here will never recover from $0, so at a single point in time $248,000 was transferred from bag holders to beneficiaries.
No no no, bitcoin is perfectly configured to incentivise technological leaps in renewable energy that increase availability, without itself consuming the entire benefit it generates. See also ASIC production, where bitcoin is also affecting the market in the best way you could imagine, and all the hardware is integrated in a circular chain of consumption.
This comment was triggered by the essay “The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams” by Jia Tolentino in the book Trick Mirror, the essay also being available in audio form online. So the scam here was to get you to google that book, I wonder if my scam will convert anyone?
When reading comments like this, which are good-natured, and a natural response, do you ever think “wouldn’t be great if we as humans had more trust built into our systems, and people actually making a best-effort attempt at honouring that trust”? Instead of everything being a scam until proven otherwise, and even then the scam is probably just one level deeper in what triggered the interest in that product in the first place.
I'm surprised that they are not providing PAdES signatures here at the same time, do you think this is a direction they will be moving in?
Also surprised they are not leaning more heavily into the existing identity solutions in the countries they are already operating in, like the Netherlands and the Nordics. Maybe hard to differantiate from existing competitors?
What's wrong with the payment process in your country? Where I am it's as easy as paying any invoice I get from a credit card company or I can by with debit card.
Also in my country, in Europe, Klarna is mentioned more and more in news articles about consumer debt and predatory lending, so I think their market share among people who keep credit card balances is increasing. They have stopped or kept pending unusually large purchases by me pending a credit check, but they could probably do a lot more to not get a reputation as lumped together with the most predatory consumer loan banks.
So Klarna delays having to authenticate with the bank which issued your credit card from the time of purchase, to the time of paying your Klarna "credit card bill".
They also delay sending your invoice until the item is actually shipped, and you then have a 14 day due date. This means returns and refunds have no money exchanged from any of your own accounts, so you don't have to worry about how long it takes for the refund to enter your credit card.
Edit: They also remember you address based on your email and name, across any vendors, so check out is really quick even if it is the first time you shop at a specific site. This is of course great for smaller vendors.
Well, one part of the work-life balance is also access to interesting work and opportunities, and a mature market that makes it easy to switch between companies when you want to or need to.
In that way, I think it makes sense to focus on some of the largest job markets, as they explain under "Methodology":
> After reviewing hundreds of global metropolises, a shortlist of 50 of in-demand cities with sufficient, reliable, and relevant datasets were selected. This included cities known for attracting professionals and families for their work opportunities and diverse lifestyle offerings.
I think democratising asset investments is a worthwhile goal. The gamifying and the fact that RobinHood makes it money from trades does lead to some strained incentives, where most people would probably be better of maximising their tax advantaged pension contributions or setting or forgetting an index fund savings plan. However, I think also direct access to small and free to stock picks is generally good, so hopefully RobinHood is able to thread the needle, and make some money also when their customers make money.
They aren’t changing anything, your AirPods will still be using the same AAC codec it did when you first bought them.
Taking a step back from watching their every move or keynote is one way to keep being happy with your device, and you’ll probably find it does last years.
You could consider buying a subscription? I often see links on HN from places I subscribe to, so maybe the people who are voting are actually reading these articles and want to share and discuss them with the rest of the community?
Well, the problem with builtin GPS in cars is that you will often find yourself driving on brand new highways, while the car is complaining that you are driving in terrain and need to get back on the road.
Yes, for someone whose prior has been: “The price will crater and most people will lose interest”, I think that the thousands of hours of developer time and institutional interest is probably starting to pay of in terms of more mature markets.
I still have problems with the idea that people are able to pick the correct winners. When the blockchain finally gets its killer mainstream app, why not do a new ICO on a restarted blockchain instead of a billion dollar wealth transfer to early adopters?
What distinction are you making? I take your comment as pointing at the fact they they are not owners of the software when it’s done, but developing software for others still makes one a software developer, or no?
The incentives leads to dangerous driving, careless handling of packages and unsanitary work conditions that highly likely contribute to higher employee turnover.
Amazon does not pay for the externalities of more dangerous driving in your neighbourhood, other than their subcontractors might increase their prices if their insurance starts getting more expensive. They do not pay [edit: you] for the time and effort when they have to redeliver a broken package.
You change the compensation by setting goals that are actually reachable, and then having the workers iterate together with the employer to find and fix inefficiencies. The antagonism of unreachable goals is bound to lead to public relations issues. This of course assume that you see this article or articles like it as a public relations issue, so if that view is negligible then Amazon will see no harm.
Threads that are union-related always seem very foreign to me on HN, but one of the greatest advantages of living somewhere there is trust between employees, unions, employer organisations and the government is that the basic facts can be agreed upon.
So you can have things like technical committees that analyse the basic facts of inflation adjustments of wages, wage changes in competing industries or economies and real wage increases. As well the unions in export-driven sectors negotiating first, and government and services employees falling in line, in order to continue to compete in the global economy.
I believe this trust also builds productivity, but looks like Jeff Bezos has a different opinion.

In your source he explicitly says he does not know who the originator is.
> I don't know who the originator was because I saw it coming from several different sources over the past week. But I just love this. I mean, I liked the acronym IDIOT, I-D-I-O-T, which of course stands for I Don't Internet of Things. But I think even better is this slogan: "The 'S' in IOT Is for Security."
