I often wonder at the thought process of these people. Not attacking OP directly, but it seems incredibly self-centered and narrow-minded to think "Wow I cant believe this person didn't drop everything and completely abandon all responsibilities because of event X happening right now. They must be so selfish."

If anything, I would think its the opposite. Its a virtue and sign of strength and selflessness to be able to push past ones personal feelings and to continue to do what needs doing.

I would think that's still not as accurate as the above examples. That implies a form of intended malice and wish to do harm at no personal gain. If the factory in which my car is manufactured happens to employ children that doesn't mean I'm paying for child labor - I'm paying for a car regardless of how it's produced. The attempt to shift the blame to the consumer here fallacious.

I disagree and your comparisons aren't accurate. A more accurate comparison would he to say its like "I'm going to ride my bike to work once a week" or "I'll pick up trash at the local park once a week".

I don't have to view eating meat or driving my car an inherently immoral in order to recognize the objective negative ecological impact that those actions have, and to therefore want to engage in some form of harm reduction from time to time.

Yes. They do a poor job of the above and I still stand by what I said.

There's a good deal that I feel is lacking, but a big issue is the lack of continuity of documentation between Phoenix's component parts. If I want to build a CRUD app with Rail, Django, or Laravel, then I can get all the information I need from their docs. If I want to do the same in Phoenix, I'll have to jump between the docs for Phoenix, Ecto, Plug, and HEEx/Liveview.

Rails, while it has its equivalent of these modules, presents them in a cohesive manner and makes it clear the role they play in the greater context of the application. Phoenix doesn't make it nearly as clear and instead of being able to gradually learn these various concepts as they become relevant you have to take on the burden of them all before being able to even begin to be productive.

I'd add Phoenix to the list when it gets its documentation in the same echelon as that of Rails or Laravel. It may be as productive if you already know how to use it, but good luck building anything non-trivial on your own if you don't.

Suggestions for a rock solid <$50 phone? Been wanting to buy a few for hands on application testing.

The point wasn't about how lifetaking the techology is/isn't. The point was that it's new, and therefore expensive.

Im a software engineer, the last thing I want to do is take days waiting for X part to arrive, then spend hours figuring out how to remove/install X part without breaking my machine worse.

If I wanted to tinker, I'd buy a Raspbery PI. I want to get work done while giving as little thought as possible to the hardware I'm using to facilitate the work.

> people love it

Like, a lot of people? I don't know anyone who's even been intrigued enough to buy it, and an overwhelming majority of feedback I hear online is negative.

Ah, the old "If you disagree with me then you're a racist". Please don't engage if you aren't going to engage in good faith, we're not on Reddit. I'm happy to be called wrong, but not if you're going to do so like that.

People deserve what they can afford. Are you suggesting we subsidize the cost of every luxury good so that everyone in the world regardless of income has access to said luxury good? It's a great notion, but the logistics are fundamentally impossible.

I can't afford a Ferrari. Do I not deserve a Ferrari? I can't afford a Rolex. Do I not deserve a Rolex? The answer is no, I don't deserve either of those things. I don't fundamentally deserve anything except for my own life. If I want anything else it's up to me to find a way to obtain it.

> Cost of living is irrelevant when the cost of certain goods like iPhones, computers, Internet subscriptions and other things is fundamentally determined by strong markets like USA or EU.

That's just what a PR department coordinating a social media influence campaign would say.

/s (but not really)

>"It is okay to pay wages below what we could live on to foreigners in other countries because their cost of living is lower"

FTFY. But, yes? How is that controversial?

>And I suppose you should also add they must stay there and never come to your country because then your job is at risk?

How do you draw that completely unrelated conclusion from the previous conversation?

If it was "our" citizens getting paid near (US) minimum wage to sit at home and monitor a robot all day then yes, I'd still be all for it. Teenage me would have much preferred that to fast food, and even adult me would happily take it as a second or interim job if needed and unable to find better paying work for some reason. And I'm sure it'd be a great opportunity for the physically disabled or other people unable to leave home.

This is a win for everyone involved. A US company gets to outsource easy work at a price below our minimum wage that they can afford to a population which can live happily with those lower wages due to their nations cost of living.

Those "exploited workers" probably made decent money relative to the cost of living in their location, and they got to do it from the comfort of a computer instead of hard labor in the sun, which is what someone in their same socioeconomic bracket would more likely be doing.

Does HN have DM's?? The client I use at least doesn't show them anywhere.

This is all fantastic! Thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Oh nice! Thanks!

Thank you!

Are you arriving at this conclusion from a place of jaded bias or from actual data? Some managers feel that way sure, but your statement implies that its essentially the norm to be expected which is not the case.

1 and 3 come pre-installed with the web template, which is the equivalent of a scaffolded Django or RoR app. 2 is just an npm install. You're trying to draw a distinction when there really isnt one.

OTP predates Elixir and stems from the creation of Erlang. The only real difference between the two is that Elixir has a nicer syntax and some higher level abstractions.

Cowboy is a decent Erlang web framework.

Holy crap really? Whats the name of this law?

Who are you arguing against? I don't think anyone is implying that gambling itself is a fundamental human right.

Where is the "capitalist" in your description coming from?

I disagree that they're necessarily more radical as the other commenter suggested, by they are absolutely far more bias towards left-leaning viewpoints. So much so that in many cases I believe its restricted free thought more so than nurtured it. Many students fear that if they have an opinion which doesn't align with the administrations stated political narrative then they could face academic, social, and/or administrative repercussions.

Definition of "genocide":

> the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Why do you say that? He's careful in his speech not because he's trying to subtly mislead anyone, but the very same people who attempt to smear him would love to have the opportunity to criticize an incorrect word choice.

Using the term "acolytes" is intellectually dishonest here and shows poor faith. Its conjures images of blind, zealous followers. No one who espouses hate can also truly be his "acolyte". He's publically denounced such individuals multiple times.
