This is interesting. I’m from the UK, in the car trade, and setting up in Louisiana. Is there a market for European panel vans (like the sprinter, crafter, ford transit) in Louisiana?

What is the "high dimensional orange" mistake

Putting in a chat window turns it into crowd sourced peer programming. You could get people who do nothing all day as a profession but this. Like github copilot but with real developers on the other end.

If average pay for a dev is x per hour, I wonder if you could work out how much one SO point is worth based on how much time invested to get the bounty

Yes, this is consulting but commodified and made more efficient on an open market. The legacy "consulting" business model probably includes lots of costs and inefficiency priced in such as time wasted getting set up with a new team, time wasted in meetings, cost of sales, insurance etc.

How much value can really be added though in the question-answer format that you can't already get for free on StackOverflow?

The answer probably lands somewhere on a sliding scale between "quick answer to an easy coding or api question" at 0 and "team of programmers speccing out and working on a project with delivery by a deadline" at 100.

StackOverflow currently sits at 0 to 10. Gig sites like fiverr at 50, and legacy consulting at 80-90. Maybe the value here is at 25 or 30 on that scale?

If this harms their business then why would they keep doing it

They are changing their natural listing results to be multi media photos and video content will be prioritised on search results, it is going to be released in America first this month I believe

They are also seeing the results will be far more varied and scrolling down will likely give you a result that you are looking for, and the traditional way of looking with the top result, being the one that you wanted may not be the case anymore

I think they are maybe trying to replicate the TikTok experience when looking for a result, you will end up scrolling different content relative to your search keyword

All of this will benefit content creators. If you have an ability to create video content, this will give you a competitive edge.

Why is it malignant? Monarchy is the foundation of the whole system. It goes from the top all the way from the bottom. That's like saying blood is a malignant influence on the body.

Yes, but the article is about people who buy property in and emigrate to Portugal through the golden visa program or D7 visa / digital nomads

No, foreigners don't have just as much right to live in Portugal. That's what this article is about. Foreigners need an investment visa, so they have to buy the right to live in Portugal. A literal condition is that you have to buy property over €450,000 and restore it. This selects for rich foreigners so the house value increases.

If you are Portuguese you get the right to reside in Portugal for free. Everyone else (apart from EU citizens) must buy it.

I organise meetup groups in Manchester. I have a venue nailed down. Who is interested in a similar HN Meetup but in Manchester?
