What was this view exactly? They would have know their pets and farm animals reproduced sexually. I guess it isn't a leap to think all mammals? So what animals did they think did not?

What does DHH political views have to do with Ruby or Rails?

Sure dont let one person dominate the discussion though, if indeed he is.

Also noticed some of the hyperlinks are not good summaries of the linked thing. That is all I can say as dont want to start tangent, see if you agree.

If you hire someone in say Australia you would be subject to its fair work act, and its courts. You'd need to sus out the tax situation too.

What if they are a contractor? Well usually the law treats these things like ducks and asks if they quack. If it quacks like employment it is subject to that law.

Trump's plan might help with my dream of being able to be paid well in tech without going to the US. This action is another reason to divest from the one tech hub to around temperature works.

Quite a think to crack. My company takes 2 months to decide on whether to hire the top 1% of a very specific profession.

Why is the 1000v safe? My guess is energy released is small e.g. a small capacitor. Or internal resistance is high so it becomes much less when you touch it. Or you mean touch one end and it is DC.

> he wanted to build something better that didn’t make developers feel like they were being surveilled.

This is important. However I think whether metrics feel like surveillance depends on company culture not the tool.
