In the sense "will you still find new job listings in a decade if you learn it now", then I would say highly likely. In the case its not, the path from React to the Next Big Thing™ will be very publicised and you'll be drowning in blog posts describing the differences.
Yeah, I wonder will we see the Next Big Front-end Thing™ in the following 5 to 10 years. I remember how fundamentally novel and different React felt when it started getting traction.
Now, all its competitors (Vue, Flutter, Svelte, Solid) look very React-like to me. A few minor improvements in some areas but nothing groundbreakingly different.
Elm is different but remained niche and obviously too exotic for mainstream. There's something about the pure-functional approach that doesn't sit well with most people.
Svelte is different from the rest of that list. In Svelte you don't use a virtual DOM to watch for changes, instead you compile the app and hard-code all changes.
The parties in a dispute like that are likely to settle out of court, in a somewhat reasonable manner, instead of blindly applying the law until a judge automaton reaches a decision following the letter of the law.
With a smart contract, there can be no negotiation and attempt at reconciliation. The price here will never recover from $0, so at a single point in time $248,000 was transferred from bag holders to beneficiaries.
No no no, bitcoin is perfectly configured to incentivise technological leaps in renewable energy that increase availability, without itself consuming the entire benefit it generates. See also ASIC production, where bitcoin is also affecting the market in the best way you could imagine, and all the hardware is integrated in a circular chain of consumption.
When reading comments like this, which are good-natured, and a natural response, do you ever think “wouldn’t be great if we as humans had more trust built into our systems, and people actually making a best-effort attempt at honouring that trust”? Instead of everything being a scam until proven otherwise, and even then the scam is probably just one level deeper in what triggered the interest in that product in the first place.
Terrible as it sounds trust is in computer terms a gaping security vulnerability. If anothet clever actor can take advantage of it they can gain all sorts of things at cost to you.
Distrust is like an immune system - it has costs and can occasionally hurt you but it developed and is ubiquitous for a reason.
Sadly human nature is what it is. It seems like it would take a long time for evolution to make humans not naturally lazy, greedy, jealous and xenophobic. It's also not clear that, even in a world where resources are abundant, there would be any evolutionary pressure to not be this way.
This comment was triggered by the essay “The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams” by Jia Tolentino in the book Trick Mirror, the essay also being available in audio form online. So the scam here was to get you to google that book, I wonder if my scam will convert anyone?
I'm surprised that they are not providing PAdES signatures here at the same time, do you think this is a direction they will be moving in?
Also surprised they are not leaning more heavily into the existing identity solutions in the countries they are already operating in, like the Netherlands and the Nordics. Maybe hard to differantiate from existing competitors?
Yeah, it would be easier and more private to validate your identity through an official digital signature, rather than providing biometrics (pictures).
So Klarna delays having to authenticate with the bank which issued your credit card from the time of purchase, to the time of paying your Klarna "credit card bill".
They also delay sending your invoice until the item is actually shipped, and you then have a 14 day due date. This means returns and refunds have no money exchanged from any of your own accounts, so you don't have to worry about how long it takes for the refund to enter your credit card.
Edit: They also remember you address based on your email and name, across any vendors, so check out is really quick even if it is the first time you shop at a specific site. This is of course great for smaller vendors.
Klarna in Europe I think for most people I know is a "i made this mistake once" experience. I know nobody who picked the Klarna transaction type more than once.
The checkout is super quick only to be frustrated with the payment process later. And since it's Klarna that comes after you to collect payment it can eventually backfire on the business that you ordered from as well.
What's wrong with the payment process in your country? Where I am it's as easy as paying any invoice I get from a credit card company or I can by with debit card.
Also in my country, in Europe, Klarna is mentioned more and more in news articles about consumer debt and predatory lending, so I think their market share among people who keep credit card balances is increasing. They have stopped or kept pending unusually large purchases by me pending a credit check, but they could probably do a lot more to not get a reputation as lumped together with the most predatory consumer loan banks.
The issue is you order something, your significant other unpacks the thing and disposes the paper which includes the invoice to be paid. Only weeks later you get notified that you did not pay.
Could be different in your country, but here in Norway there wouldn't be an invoice in the box.
The whole idea is that payment is totally separate. Email invoice or separate invoice per post, unless you pay immediately when ordering.
The shop you ordered from does not know or care how the transaction is done between you and Klarna.
Well, one part of the work-life balance is also access to interesting work and opportunities, and a mature market that makes it easy to switch between companies when you want to or need to.
In that way, I think it makes sense to focus on some of the largest job markets, as they explain under "Methodology":
> After reviewing hundreds of global metropolises, a shortlist of 50 of in-demand cities with sufficient, reliable, and relevant datasets were selected. This included cities known for attracting professionals and families for their work opportunities and diverse lifestyle offerings.
That quote sure reads like the list is filtered to make it possible to complete the survey, as well as to make it diverse and interesting. There are plenty of cities not in this list that are by no means short of demand.
I think democratising asset investments is a worthwhile goal. The gamifying and the fact that RobinHood makes it money from trades does lead to some strained incentives, where most people would probably be better of maximising their tax advantaged pension contributions or setting or forgetting an index fund savings plan. However, I think also direct access to small and free to stock picks is generally good, so hopefully RobinHood is able to thread the needle, and make some money also when their customers make money.
But statistically speaking it empirically isn't. Piketty, as mentioned by Tenev in the article, does indeed point out that one of the reasons return on capital is higher for the wealthy is because of access to lower-cost asset management and higher-return esoteric investments that the rest of us don't enjoy, but it's absurd to suggest (as Tenev does) that this is materially changed by bringing the cost of retail stock purchases from $4 down to $0.
They aren’t changing anything, your AirPods will still be using the same AAC codec it did when you first bought them.
Taking a step back from watching their every move or keynote is one way to keep being happy with your device, and you’ll probably find it does last years.
You could consider buying a subscription? I often see links on HN from places I subscribe to, so maybe the people who are voting are actually reading these articles and want to share and discuss them with the rest of the community?
I just wish I didn’t need to buy separate subscriptions for each publication. If I’m only reading one off articles from each based on others’ recommendations the individual publication subscription doesn’t really express what I’m trying to achieve.
