I just built my own version because I was curious how this would look like in a server-side rendered framework like LiveView. But I'm all for it that we build different versions in different stacks and compare notes :)
If there were to be an arms race like that, my first attempt would be infinite-checkboxes or similar. Would probably run absolutely horribly on anything but the beefiest machines, and cost thousands of dollars for bandwidth.
Would need to come up with a way to make (un)checking computationally expensive to stop the state immediately ballooning to gigabytes in size.
As an example: "weerhouden" in Flemish means "to be included", while in Netherlands' Dutch it means "to be excluded".
Or take "poepen" which means "to have sex" or "to take a shit" depending on which country you are in.
I frequently have to ask my friends from the Netherlands to clarify something because, even though I hear which word they're using, I have no idea what they mean because the words mean something different or are just never used that way in Flemish.
Depends on the board, and depends on the circumstance.
If the $655M is pitched in terms of "This will save us from lawsuits that could cost billions, go some way towards shining up our tarnished image, increase driver retention and keep the money rolling in", then I imagine it may go down better. Particularly if it can be seen as a way to head off legislation that could cost them more.
Personally I hope they get spanked and have to recognise that their drivers are employees with flexible hours, not some new category of conveniently cheap labour that doesn't have to be properly remunerated.
I agree, the question is unfortunately in many of these cases. Will the lawsuits actually cost us billions, or will we get a slap on the wrist and actually be better off in the end if we take that hit. Because we can grow faster now.
See Google or Microsoft anti-trust.
I 100% agree, but in this case it's just another type-A guy making an observation perhaps so he can feel good with himself but not really doing anything.
These people like to pretend they are poor empathetic souls but with no power, which is bullshit. If their ass is on the line or their business has an existencial threat, all of a sudden they know how to make the right phone calls and make things happen.
I buy what he's trying to paint, but I don't buy his hypocrisy.
Could get close to a full day of work on the X1 Carbon Yoga Gen2. T480s not so much, but also packs a lot more punch. x1s seem to have best portability
I like this reference style of documentation, it tries to give a full overview of everything there is. Which is usually what I'm looking for. The sections are also concise.
I would like that.
