Im not sure how this qualifies as open source when the repo for the book[0] is essentially empty?

I dont think I have ever encountered this in my adult life honestly. A more common occasion is encountering a business that is cash only (usually small market stalls) and is infinitely more annoying as I have to go and take out a amount of money greater than the product I want to buy, leaving me with a rather annoying amount of loose change.

Its 43% higher than the limit. And as Apple is denying the claims id be interested to see what other bodies measure it at.

> this salary wouldn't attract strong talent even in medium cost-of-living countries (like portugal/spain).

median salary for a developer in Spain is $30,000 a year[1], so 50-80k would easily place them in the upper 10% of the scale.

I think americans need to really reflect on how inflated american dev salaries are.

Salaries in London != Salaries in the UK.

Is there a source for `bored kids`? I dont see any evidence of kids creating this exploit?

We use estimation in days, for longer running project wherever have a collection of user stories we are tackling we tend to use the average cycle time for the team (how long it takes from starting the issue until it is done) multiplied by the amount of issues we are tackling.

Oh man, I relate to this feeling tremendously. I am a junior dev on an apprentice program (just shy of 1 years experience to date) and the times I have struggled with something because I let my pride, or fear of bothering people with inane questions, have been the lowest points in the last year. I always get to the otherside wishing I just talked to a senior dev - because more likely they could have saved me a stressful week.

The they/them pronouns are used in place of he/him/she/her because they are ungendered. I fail to see how the use of ungendered pronouns are exclusionary.

This kinda seems like a flawed argument.

Claim 1: Google will shut down video aggregation and hosting sites

Counterclaim 1: But what about x, y and z that exist parallel to Youtube?

Claim 2: Those are allowed to exist by Google.

I dont disagree with your overarching point, it just seem like your arguing it in a flawed manner without any real evidence of your claim occurring or explaining why there are other sites that provide similar functionality without being affected by Google?

>We (developers) should be leading by example and creating services that don't rely on permission from large corporations to operate.

Great so that is what the original poster is doing? And your already claiming that Google is going to shut this down. Seems kinda alarmist.

Exactly this, complaining that a site banned you for breaking ToS is kinda stupid.

The Indian Goverment has a budget of Rs. 1541 Crores (£155,000,000~) for the Sports Department

And the space program has a budget of Rs. 7,927 crore (£799,871,700) according to wikipedia.

So to address your point, yeah India spends quite a bit on Sports, but no way near as much as their Space Program.
