It took years, sometimes centuries, to understand that in some industries a take over should get a regulatory approval. Maybe a central social media platform with enormous influence on public opinions, should be too.

There is disproportion between the time/price required to participate and the time/price to moderate. And when people get high power with low price - they use it. SO should put some penalty on wrong moderation decisions.

This is a bit like the difference between old wars, where people faced their foes, and modern war where you guide some weapons on a screen. You care less.

Maybe we need to shift focus to lowering the cost of False positive? The industry is willing to skip ton of great candidates that fail the "audition", just to avoid false positives. Otherwise great people and employees are ruled out, just because they can't reflect their true value at work in a stressed 1-2 hours interview. Cheaper false positive hiring may ease the pressure on the companies side to let them in. Having said that, because of stress, questions on interview should be 50%-60% difficult since the interviewee is not at 100%.

Actually written in Assembler to it. You had to squeeze the entire code and the graphics to 16k (K, that is 1024 bytes!). Rendering the screen was directly poking values to the hardware. Great piece of hardware

Similar things happen with real money all the time. Many players can hack, over charge, short, manipulate etc. It may be less obvious, or somehow perceived legit, but we are not really shielded from other players taking our invested money with all kinds of "financial tools" that are hard to understand. Ethereum is just more direct, more feasible

DodgyEggplant — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 14:01:28 +0000

50+ here. Never had an issue. Many media articles in this context also "consult" or "quote" or "interview" someone from a company that "consult older software developers how to stay in the market". One note: you have to respect it from both sides, and factor out age when young person is your manager or colleague. Your age is not an argument in a technical discussion.

This is not pure travel, but tilts to residence. So if someone stays the whole year - verification can take longer. The USA was always built on attracting smart, brilliant, ambitious people. Those who bans them now, are using the wealth the previous generations, created in this way that is now blocked. They are cutting the resource from their future generations. But this is good news to the rest of the world - other countries will benefit.
