Most people here seem to forget that ads is what pays for the free internet services. The main issue with them is not making the consent more explicit to the user. I think the business model: you either get this for free with ads and targeting, or otherwise you have to pay X, should be more common. I bet most people would pick the free option with ads and targeting.

I got to understand from personal experience that the anti-SOA people are usually the ones who stayed at the same company their entire carers, never saw any model other than the monolithic one, see SOA as a threat to their domain knowledge within the company and simply are not able to see its downsides (because they have adapted their ways of work around it and never experienced anything better).

Seems like a reasonable decision to me. Moderators are not owners.

The quality of the answers is often too poor to be used as reference.

C# GC, MS and external libraries, build, docs, tools support (especially for Linux) are all worse than Java.

You are not promoted to manager. It is a different career choice, but the fact that you see it that way explains a lot about your position.

For better or worse, open source software is competing with paid software, so expectations for basic support and maintenance need to exist. If there is not enough capacity for this, the maintainers should make it clear upfront in very visible ways so people can use that information when deciding what to use.

It would be extremely useful to be able to filter per country, as not all remote opportunities are available in all countries, but I guess a feature like this would have to involve data submission from the companies themselves.

Sure. As long as they become legally co-responsible for the speech they are choosing to amplify, i.e. as long as they accept they are no longer just a platform.

Nuclear is really the only solution at the moment. It is a shame it took a war for people to start realising this. At least we can all learn with Germany's mistakes now.

Yet another manager not knowing what being a manager is. It is your responsibility to know what your reports are doing and making sure their efforts are recognised and their flaws corrected (or ultimately fired). If you don't remember unless someone keeps sending you self promotional messages, you are the problem, not your reports.

Exactly. Division of labor is essential for any complex project. Whoever says the opposite has probably only worked in simple/small systems.

People who bash capitalism after the last century of expansion should just be considered negationists at this point.

Sure it is not perfect but it's infinitely better than any other economic model available.
