This leads me to wonder, do you think free trade and ad or government subsidized everything from TVs & smartphones to Internet and cellular service to content serve to keep the lot of the working classes satisfied instead of the dignities sought by the European union members & syndicalists of yesteryear?

Maybe there’s some sensible common ground between Germany and the US system where everyone is required to get a general education even though a lot of people have no interest in it which also causes a lot of problems and makes it worse for everyone.

Anecdotal of course but from my own experience and from the few teachers I know now, there are so many issues with students assaulting teachers, assaulting each other, kids who can barely read, write or do math, etc.

I strongly preferred my liberal arts classes at my university but most people in them were just checking the box because they viewed the expensive ($20k+/yr in state) school as a job training program even though it isn’t that.

I could be wrong but I think the other effects of smoking are worse for quality of life as you age and are way more common than cancer.

I knew a lot of lifelong smokers. I believe only one got lung cancer, didn’t die of it, but all that lived long enough had oxygen tanks, at least periodically, later in their lives.

I don’t vote, I’m a proud non-voter.

People frequently make this statement and I think it’s wrong at face value.

If you vote you are giving legitimacy to the beltway uniparty. If the election is “free and fair” why does voting give you the right to complain?

> Near as I can tell, the US is getting hit with massive manipulative propaganda BS, and a lot of people are burnt out and even having PTSD type reactions (See Complex PTSD) to other people because of it.

Read any good articles about this phenomenon?

> I mean, isn't the possibility of any of the major cloud vendors getting 'hacked', or cryptolocked, one of the biggest threads to any country?

Right, but I think the point in this case is that Microsoft was rent seeking with the logs.

To your point, I’ve been wondering lately how much of a national security threat outsourcing, offshoring and H1B in tech poses more generally.

I’m not sure if $2,200 is a lot or a little but isn’t there some non-zero cost associated with facilitating, transporting, storing and performing the autopsies regardless of whether the examiner is paid or is a student? Eg clerical work, drivers, equipment, use of a vehicle, refrigerators, etc.

One guy killed himself and the other got MERSA. Only kooks believe that Boeing killed them!

Just pointing out, now these guys will never be on 60 minutes or giving interviews to popular mechanics, Rogan or Lex Friedman. Whatever testimony is made available will be all that we have on the topic.

That’s really interesting and compelling. What’s the rest of your backend stack look like? Do you get good performance from the database drivers written in dart?

> There are no jobs for me; even for positions that totally align with my skills, the employers express no interest.

I often wonder who they have working there and applying that is so much better than me they won’t grant me an interview. I’ve always been a top performer so it’s really quite puzzling.

How about US developers can’t compete with offshore developers?

Average Indian earns $571/mo. Even if devs earn 2x average you’d be able to hire at least 3 for just the average SF/NYC rent a developer in the US has to pay let alone taxes, benefits, etc.

Not particularly good for the country or economy long term; is the end game to destroy the US and start over paying people here $571/mo?

They pretty much did the work for a lib at this point…

I’ve been struggling with this for a bit — I am working on something I’d like to make open source for every use except resale / selling a hosted version.

Eg, you can have a private fork you use at work. You can host it for your own use anywhere you want.

I just want to retain the exclusive rights to sell it.

So 2 questions;

Is this not open source?

What’s a palatable license if you want to be able to sell a hosted version of your product?
