Another selling point has been a guarantee of 1:1 api feature and design parity between Anthropic and this Claude platform. Helps if you have workloads you want to balance between providers.

minimum wage is minimum wage (IMO?), the business losing money only dictates how long that position will exist for, not change the compensation owed for performing employed work.

in minor league baseball, who's indepent teams may be anywhere on the spectrum of losing or making money but who are also affiliated with parent organizations that make hundreds of millions, there is a plethora of literature lately that accuses them of paying significantly less than US minimum wage. In many cases it appears the players pay them for the right to play when it's all done.

in the college hockey example i referred to, the D1 teams/leagues usually have decent revenue from tickets and tv deals but it's not a ton and i'd take a shot in the dark that most programs are pretty much breaking even after scholarships, staff, and facilities are accounted for. In that environment, having an athlete get "paid" maybe a $40k/year total package in scholarship, room and board, playing equipment and facilities use, and cash per diems on road trips is both above minimum wage and probably no more than they could reasonably expect if the league was "pro" and had nothing to do with college.

baseball arguably does a terrible job at solving this.

the minor league system pays significantly less than poverty wages. incentivizing kids to go that route instead of getting an education is terrible.

which is why so many dont, and go to college on scholarships anyway, which leads us right back where we started.

the right analogy to make IMO is ice hockey, especially the canadian model. There, you have well funded and professional-like "minor leagues" (called juniors close to same thing). you can't get paid but in the tier 1 leagues you have very little if not zero personal living expenses, it's like being on a full-ride at a big college program with room and board included. In canada, it's seen as the route potential NHLers take instead of continuing with school. you're not allowed to be paid, but there's a rule in place that for every year you play in that league you're owed one full year of college paid for. If you age out of the league and dont make it as a pro, you at least get 2-4 years of free college to go get the rest of your life together as compensation.

The US Junior system has some of those attributes but is more geared towards getting kids into NCAA scholarships. The thing there though, IMO, is that the money involve in that sport is right about at that sweet spot where i'd argue a full ride to school like notre dame or penn state is about right for the level of compensation owed.

all opinions above are my own, in the context of a former D1 ice hockey athlete who thinks the football players should probably be paid.

you kinda can in a lot of universities with big programs. There's a lot of "sports marketing" and "sports science" majors now that get a little loose with requirements and rigor. when done right, they can be good tools to prep athletes for life after playing (agents, marketing, phys ed instructors and coaches, etc.) but they also run the risk of being places for the football team to sleep through class and get an A for working out and attending video.

when people are living (and budgeting) paycheck to paycheck, with low interest rates, the prices go up a bit more than 1:1. It becomes all about what monthly payment you can afford.

that's not true at all in my experience. In the past we've had "bug bash" type activities, or used that lower-hanging fruit as training opportunities. As an architect i've sometimes grabbed tasks like that just to stay fresh but also out of the way of the prioritized team backlog.

I work in an org that is looking to provide a lot of the same experiences both within salesforce and outside of it, and I'm looking at this make sharing those components easier. Imagine if you have a calculator and it could be used by both your client relations team (working in salesforce) and on your retail-facing web site.

right now we write two UIs and hook them up the same service. now maybe we get to write one UI.

I don't believe so, not if the risk to the general public is great enough.

it's been a conscious effort on my part and I'm still very susceptible to falling off the wagon for a week at a time. I don't think it's very natural for people tbh. I was always a late worker and still kind of am when the shit really hits the fan, but I am a believer that when I have to put in the extra hours, I'm usually more efficient in the morning that late at night. That motivates me to keep trying.

as an early riser myself, what bothers me about this is that I personally feel like I'm only talking about because someone else is making a big deal out of it. I don't think I go out of my way to bring the topic up, but I'm constantly getting people saying things like "omg I saw when you sent that email/made that commit/whatever, do you ever sleep", and then I gotta say something like "well I was up at 5 so I knocked it out before I drove in..." and now it's a thing we're talking about and I'm the crazy guy.

It feels like a much bigger issue to late-risers than early-risers.

I think the superior->subordinate part of this is a much bigger offense than two equals breaking a no-dating policy. The situation leaves the manager and the company at risk of all kinds of harassment and abuse allegations.

one of the caveats of the question though is the people who are put there already know exactly what they need to build and how to build it; so you don't need 20 phd's to re-solve the chemistry and engineering challenges. It's almost purely a (still not solvable with 20 people) manufacturing problem.

different states' laws can have a major impact. I have no experience with insurance in MA, but in Michigan 2k/yr per car would be considered fairly cheap. My insurance is routinely near the cost of the car payment itself, and I have a good record and multi-product discounts with my provider.

We definitely have a problem here in this state though.

Chicago's Regional Transit Authority operates the Metra which spreads into northern Indiana and Southern Wisconsin

How would you put into words the opposing, "non-productivity focused" viewpoint? I'm an American and I don't know that I can currently comprehend what the opposite would be.

all of the direct dialogue has subtitles built into the UI anyway. I can't remember if that's an option for the radio, but if it is (or could be implemented), then this seems like a really weird reason to cancel.

I really enjoyed (maybe not the best word...appreciated) the film "Manchester By the Sea" for reasons that this story reminds me of. My wife and some friends who have seen it said it was 'boring' and that 'nothing happened'. To me, the fact that 'nothing happened' was a very much the point; There was no grand character arc because for most people you just don't ever come back from an event like that. There is no major turnaround and everything is all better moment. You learn to live and maybe find some areas of your life that don't quite suck 24/7 if you can, but that may be all that's possible. I found it to be a very 'real' human story that isn't often told well.

I do it in PHP to make something immutable. data goes into the constructor and then only getters are provided.

I use apple carplay and it still asks me to unlock my device sometimes. With touchId I can do this without taking my eyes off the road.

I think it's the 50% part that we're meant to pay attention to. For me that's a pretty drastic, "why would you ever put this on the client side now that you know this" kind of thing.

I'm in the middle of getting rid of the last SOAP dependency for my app now. might throw a little party when it's done.

saving 50k while paying student loans off is often a very daunting task. I would imagine one would generally need to have a bay-area type salary to begin with to pull off such a thing in a timeframe less than a decade, which leads to a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Or find a way to make a decent engineering level salary while having little to no housing costs. This means having parents willing to support you who also live close enough to a job that pays well, and in your scenario having a significant other who is also in the same or similar enough situation; this is not extremely rare, but it's not the norm either.

most of the language in those agreements just says "major bureaus" though, not explicitly which. And major transactions will usually pull all three. Trying to pick only lenders which don't use Equifax (or another bureau) may not even be possible for something like a car or home loan.

my teams do the same thing, it works fine as long as there's some degree of predictability in the schedule. My team does a standard 40 hour work week but only 6 hours per day of required "core hours" used for pairing. The other two hours ar e flexible so the folks can adjust their schedules if they want to get in earlier in the morning and leave earlier.

9-4 you'll be in the office and ready to pair, and lunch for everyone is 12-1 regardless of when you got there; but you can come in at 7 and leave at 4 if you want, or get in at 9 and stay til 6 or work at home later if that works better.

you need that strictness of "pairing time starts now" otherwise you have people coming and going and needing breaks at all different times and it gets disruptive.

football has always seemed like an outlier to me, in the sense that the overwhelming majority of adults I know watch and enjoy it but I know almost no one who played an organized version of it. Anecdotally, this doesn't seem to work the same way as other sports. It really is a sport made for television and gambling, which will probably continue to drive it for a very long time.

all of that you either could have done yourself, or your inspector would have done for you.

I don't begrudge anyone who wants to pay someone else to take a task off their hands, I do it all the time with various things like my lawn service, housekeeper, etc. But was the time they saved you worth the commission they made? When you're making 7% of the selling price, the answer to that seems likely to be no in many cases. There's a price point where it's no longer worth it to outsource the work, and I suspect many home buyers run over it without realizing it or considering they have a choice.

not arguing against there being value, but there are credit rehab companies that would have probably cost you a lot less than the realtor's commission. Many basic credit consulting services are free.

I bought a home recently and work in the mortgage industry. My opinion: the buyer's agent should be a flat negotiated fee, maybe an hourly rate. There is very little that most do that the buyer can't do themselves. If the buyer doesn't want to do it themselves, then that's a choice they make to pay, and for items like inspection reviewing and negotiating, I'm not sure I see why it's significantly different if I'm buying a $200k house vs an $800k house. I don't agree with their fees being a percentage of the home prices.

Seller's agents on the other hand...those guys are salesmen. I can see way more value in incentivizing that person to get maximum value for me.

Probably, but in an office with a couple hundred macs it may seem easier to keep everything playing nicely together.

I honestly thought the project was either dead or terminal. I tried to adopt it for a pet project 3 years ago and never followed through, and I haven't heard much about it since.

Given that what I liked about it most was types and web components, which are pretty robust now with well established tools (Typescript and React), I wonder what's the real allure in Dart as opposed to those seemingly more popular options?

like others have said, I assume it's a combination of my hispanic last name and as a general interview technique to see how I react.
