This is kicking the can down the road.
The population of any closed system, whether country, continent, or even planet, cannot grow indefinitely. And any system that expects indefinite growth to sustain itself will invariably become exhausted when rate out exceeds rate in for a sufficient duration.
Immigration alone may be a stopgap, but it is by no means a solution.

It does seem to make sense that pairing senior engineers together would not benefit a team as much as pairing a senior with juniors.
My only custom use was to write a WOL task that targets my Steam Machine so I can turn it on without leaving the couch. The machine is a frankenstein, so it doesn't have any fancy IR receiver or whatever people typically use to remotely turn on a game console.
Which is horrible if you consider something to be a core piece of software and you are unable to effectively cmd-tab to it. This is more of an OSX issue than windows, since windows will happily alt-tab amongst browser windows. OSX uses a less intuitive cmd-` for tabbing through program instances and still requires that the webapp is running in it's own window, in the same OSX window "Space", it cannot be minimized, and which will crash with the browser itself, irrespective of which tab is truly responsible [taking all your current state data with it].
I'm all for webapps supplanting native apps. But even presenting them as such requires something like Electron, and is completely counter to the trend of managing all tabs [webapps] as crony components of a master "WebBrowser" process.
Disclosure: I work in the netsec industry and only signed this because HN brought it to my attention in the rare spare moments between my daily tasks. To use an analogy, I feel like I can't worry about putting out the forest fire if my house is already on fire in the midst of it. At the same time, I'm throwing money at someone that says they'll help me free up more time to do the forest fire fighting. We'll see if I've made a grave mistake in how I prioritize things.
What wasn't accounted for was that the book indexers have no incentive to pass on their savings to the consumer.
edit: Let's not forget the artificial restrictions imposed by DRM, either. How difficult is it to share a digital book vs physical?
Are other languages missing something like node's Passport to allow easy integration to multiple SSO providers or is single-single service sign on an active choice that is growing in popularity?
The burden of enlightening someone should never fall upon anyone but that someone. To argue that avoiding imprisonment isn't a burden would be the definition of sophism.
I was actually writing a similar plugin for Plex.tv last year until my client hours put that on the backburner indefinitely.
