Android is Linux. It's all the stuff on top that makes it more secure - 90% of which is covered by flatpak + MAC.

No one's doing anything about it now and everyone knows it's happening (no one's meaningfully denying it, some people are just secretly fine with it). Why would an expose spelling it out after the fact change anything? We've done this dance before unfortunately.
Yes, but I've had it across multiple sites that play video, so I don't think it's youtube.
Just make sure you put in a stop-loss order
You keep telling the next investor it'll be profitable soon. I believe the guy that came up with this scheme first went to prison or something, but afterwards we all collectively decided we were cool with it.
The man's talking about class differences in general though. Pretty sure those predate us apes even knowing there were other different colored troops.
Either way it kind of feels like a bit of a chicken and egg discussion. Were we hierarchical animals first, then leveraged arbitrary and irrelevant traits to enforce that hierarchy, or vice versa.
To me it's really simple. You adress class issues -> you adress "culture war" issues (those disproportionally impacted get disproportionately addressed, as they should be). You address "culture war" issues -> shitshow ensues.
I know what I'm gonna focus on.
It's not about the protocols. It's about business. We can have all the tech we want but until someone is willing to establish relationships with and pay the 3-4 middlemen involved in every single card payment it ain't happening.
Did he actually recommend one? That said, it's obvious the author favors Marginalia personally, but there's no point pretending they don't have biases. At least for me, making them obvious helps.
Idk, doing this "properly" would take an immense amount of effort and manpower. This feels more like a "let me get enough info for an educated guess" EDA process, which still seems to have taken a lot of effort and I appreciate it a lot.
Speaking from experience, those are business practice problems, not technical competence issues.
You do get what you pay for, but top line (counting the middlemen on both sides) Eastern European outsorcing rates are only about ~30% lower than US rates these days, and people still think of it as a cheap labor destination. So companies give you 25% allocation while pretending to give you 100% and such to make the math work out. Lots of shady business practices like that + outsorcing companies don't really give a damn about your product. I imagine you're thinking startups since we're talking "apps" here, and the industry gameplan there has been to bleed them dry for a while now unfortunately.
But if you're outstaffing and can actually manage the talent yourself, trust me these guys have no issue going toe-to-toe with US devs.
You bring up a valid point about why though (despite bad comp). My guess is free education up to and including your PhD, general technical inclination, differences in values (a lot of them straight up refuse to move or change their lifestyle for 4x the money for instance, almost inconceivable in the US). I do wonder if that will last though.
Of course it really depends on who you hire, there are also shit developers everywhere and you can get majorly screwed if you don't know what you're doing, and that becomes way more likely the moment you're hiring abroad (information asymmetry is a removed).
Yes. Assuming that you can actually find clients and that those clients don't have policies against hiring contractors directly (a lot of the big ones do). Those seem like low barriers to entry but the majority of developers don't meet them (I used to be one, and most of my friend circle still is), much as LinkedIn would have us believe otherwise.
Solutions for individuals tend not to work for large groups (I got lucky, you might just be that good). These changes point to a systemic shift which could work out for the better but I really don't think it will.
The truth is, except for niche requirements and expertise, one US engineer is not as good as 4 Eastern European devs (and I could get you those for the same price while making a hefty margin). Only the best are needed, the rest are competing in a market that doesn't even cover their living expenses, and they can't even negotiate as hard because they don't have as many local jobs as alternatives. Moving down the value chain is never a good sign. Eventually you capture less profit no matter how you slice it.
What? No they don't. Unless "had" is the operative word there.
