I think the opinion NYT is programming into their readers is that normal people owning the means of private transportation is bad. The particular facts or coherence of the argument is immaterial.
Just believe the opposite of whatever Pravda says and you’ll be a’ight.
I’m suspicious that most of the value in these systems comes from a small fraction of the effort and many technology jobs boil down to knowing you’re a huge cost center and putting on a performance to hide that.
Some of those who checked out never re-entered the productive economy. There seems to be a change in morale and motivation as well. The young professionals are paid way beyond their value just to get them on board.
I think credit deserves some blame. Schools charge the maximum they expect students to be able to pay, and when students have significant leverage through the bank, those costs rise with it. Very similar conditions in housing. I think administrative bloat is a consequence rather than a cause. Now that the faculty lounge has replaced the factory floor as a reliable voting demographic for you-know-who, I don’t think the subsidies and waste will stop anytime soon.
No sarcasm intended. The science of climate change rests on many legs. It was already established long before massive models on the scale we have today were possible. Computer simulations attempts to understand how it will affect us, but does not contribute much evidence.
What do you mean "own projects"? At first I thought you were implying that he somehow had a say in how the donations were distributed. But it seems like he is just a unaffiliated recipient? Anyone who does python web work would probably list him as highly core to the ecosystem so that would make sense.
He's not unaffiliated, he's a Director of Engineering at Sentry [0]. Whether that means he has a say in who got paid I don't know, but I can see how that would feel a bit off to OP.
Edit: I'm also not 100% sure which projects OP was referring to. I just looked through the Google sheet and can't find anything by him, but I could have missed something.
Possible but not actual. Pallets is the project in question here, and Armin is only barely involved anymore, specifically he doesn't see any of the money they raise.
