"Always"? Pretty sweeping, categorical assertion.
Voters' politics is based on interest, identity, and values. The latter two often run counter to the first (e.g. poor whites in the Republican Party, blacks in the Democratic Party). Blacks suffer disproportionately from Drug Prohibition, but many are religious and culturally conservative, and would like to see the death penalty for drug dealers (assuming the police could be trusted). They blame the drugs, not Drug Prohibition.

Lots of your anti-prohibition activists are wealthy progressives and libertarians who, like me, like David Simon, have no personal stake in the outcome.
"closed loop production cycle" - this sounds like a perpetual motion machine?
Totally agree. However, not all counties highly subsidy farming in all aspects. Maybe some revolution will happen outside the US?
That was basically my reaction as well. I would also like to see a Rust implementation included.
The marginal tax rate at £50k is actually 42%, just looking at income tax (40%) and NI (2% at that point).
The irony of course being that Slashdot has "editors" to supposedly get a stronger S/N ratio than a editor-free flood site like HN...
Sorry about the assumption. That's actually pretty amazing that you guys managed to read through every application. Even though I was rejected the application was still worth doing because it forced me to think thoroughly about my product. I will still apply in the future.
Hi, just wanted to clarify I'm not trying to badmouth, just pointing some things that weren't clear to me (as someone who would be qualified to evaluate the quality of a React-like framework). Lack of docs aside, it does look like a nice project :)

Interesting. Gonna look into the project more when I get a chance then.

jQuery plugins, from my own experience, are quite naughty. Modals, tooltips and drag-n-drop things are examples of things naive people might try to throw at the system and wonder why things get wonky.

I have just started a little project with a business guy and we both know we need each other. HE has frontend some cash to get it off the ground but was willing to give me 49% of the business which means we are both happy and we both have enough of the business to want to stay up late and bust our balls.

From my point of view equity is to keep people interested , feel that they need to really put in the effort and it can be a trade off for a lower salary whilst it is starting. An employee will always want to go home at the end of the day.
I hate that he makes it sound like he had some responsibility to be there as if by invitation. I'm sure everyone wants to report on this stuff, but reporting has never worked that way. Reporters are often excluded for any and every reason from conferences, for much the same reason that people don't invite everyone to a party.

This does sound like a path, and like I mentioned in another post, it'd be easy to take an opensource webforms project and convert it. I'll probably try that out soon.
There was a lot of discussions about the benefits, and some discussion that was missed. However, vertical farming is still not cost effective compared to more traditional greenhouses. And that's for the highest value crops like lettuce and tomatoes. Commodity crops and animal agriculture are the biggest resource users in this system and vertical farming is no where close to finding a substitute for those. The cost of production will need to come down below the alternatives and that will be challenging, although not impossible in principle.
I'm even less convinced about the usefulness knowing "how much of a trade a particular counter-party can absorb". And somehow deriving this information from the current book size (as opposed to available capital) also seems somewhat dubious.

Moreover, absent the AUM (or leverage) and asset mix, this number won't tell you much about the actual size of the book.

Got to watch out for the HR filter. Often at bigger companies, hiring managers don't even see a resume unless it meets the criteria they specify on it. That means people like you with related, but different experience get cut out when you could still be a good match. Broken system.

Actually Samsung did very well on android, probably much better than if Google hasn't shared android with them.

Ass for small companies working on their ecosystems(app authors, youtube creators, site owners),those are decent ecosystems, and generally Google is not worse than any other large ecosystem owner.

That's fantastic. I've known people (consultants) using the 40 hour week to work four days instead of five, but doing it on the scale of a year is impressive. The astonishing thing in your story is that the boss didn't simply deny he'd offered TOIL.

Why isn't it as cost effective? Is that just from a higher start-up cost or is it significantly more expensive to run in the long run? Seems like it would be cheaper (closed environment).

Anecdote: I heard that peaches were grown in Greenhouses to avoid rot & bugs and it's been very helpful.
You are saying that he world's poor should become rich enough to pay for Internet, before they can get access to Internet?

I think they just mean that the waste materials can be used to provide inputs to the next production cycle. Obviously the loop is not close because there is energy coming in, and grown plants going out.
I too am surprised at the lack of examples. There are numerous.

Robotics used in the automobile industry are extraordinary examples of robotic performance, and have been for decades. They only keep getting better.

Kiva Systems has produced extremely productive robots. Over time (eg 20 years) they're guaranteed to replace a hundred thousand plus human jobs. The concept that Kiva represents of warehouse and stock automation, will replace a lot more jobs than that over that time duration.

Intuitive Surgical's sytems are performance robotics in action. Robotic surgery will get better non-stop for decades to come, eventually being vastly superior as a form of surgery vs traditional non-assisted means.

UAVs are human controlled robotics. They've become increasingly critical platforms to all major militaries world-wide. That will only grow in importance and complexity by the year.

Consumer drones are exploding in popularity, and are another example of human controlled robotics. There will be millions of these in just the US in ten years. The total economic impact will measure in the hundreds of billions of dollars in regards to what drones will affect and improve.

iRobot's home robots (eg the Roomba), and comparable competitor products, have shown dramatic improvements in performance since the day the company was founded.
I was able to click through, and also the same content (save for a few pictures) is available in pdf form [0].

As someone else who has been casually interested in vertical farming, I was pretty disappointed with this piece. It didn't give me any new information, and it didn't give any sense of progress that has been made or challenges to be overcome. It's really an introductory fluff piece for people unfamiliar with the concept.

Funnily enough, the actual Spotify client uses CEF too. As does Battle.net and tons of other companies (including my own).
What's making this transition difficult is the economic viability. It only makes sense in densely populated areas but those areas also have ridiculous property values and higher utility costs. That makes it increasingly difficult for these farms because the margins in farming aren't that great. I work for a vertical farming company (Verticulture Farms) and we've been struggling to find a place where we can expandthat makes financial sense.
They're closer to the same speed now. Some of the difference could be the I/O rate the h2 server has to contend with, right?

The real way to demonstrate this would be to release a VM or container for people to test on their own server. And add a demo page of large assets, like you suggest.
GP doesn't believe that "[website-specific] Zero Rating" is compatible with "Net Neutrality".
So - if you've got past experience of these features, and can therefore estimate your time and resource need well, and know what major features are Must have (MoSCoW is your friend), this in my mind strengthens the case for waterfall - as you can accurately (enough) plan out a sane project plan which includes your must haves and has slots for your Should and Coulds which can get pushed out in contingency, and you can then run the whole thing with predictability, predictable budgets, predictable feature sets, and not end up caught short in a mad sprint cycle at the end.

Agile is great if you've got a weak scope, or an unlimited budget, or all the time in the world - but in the scenario you describe, waterfall would be the model I'd apply.
One nice advantage of TDD is that you don't risk building a hard to test product. Of course, you have to pay attention to what you are testing and make your test cases meaningful.
The link isn't NY Times, but it agrees with you; according to Netflix people tend to binge watch 2-3 episodes a sitting.

Sad truth :/
Hey HN - This is the first app I’ve built, it was coded with Ruby on Rails. I built it as a way to explore Uber’s new ride request API. I haven’t seen anything using their API where you don’t know where you are going until after the Uber ride finishes. It got a little bit of press last week, but I really value the HN community and I would love to get your honest feedback. Is this something you’d use? Concerns you have that would keep you from using it? Do you have suggestions on how to improve the homepage?
I find it amusing that we would see an advanced alien race as being borderline idiotic and socially blind. They would instantly grasp what was going on. They have PR in their world too, not to mention the engineers would know that a 'selfie' would be good to diagnose any external damage.

I've found the principle 'Run toward things, not away from things' to be helpful. If you don't know what'll really make you happy, you've got a shot at winding up just like you are now, somewhere else.

Finding, or starting, a relevant project, using technology you want to emphasize, seems to me like a step you could take independent of what you do about the job. As for the job, I think what they say about 'Change your organization, or change your organization' is true.

Of course, in similar shoes, I did something radical. I wasn't fulfilled in my monied, flexible job, so I'm taking a leap at what I really want to do: teach in college. It started when I came home from work one day, with a plan for how I could help local high schools with their AP classes and computer clubs, and my wife asked whether that would really do the trick of making me happy. I said 'No' and, 4 years later,I'm now ABD on a PhD, and could tell long stories of the highs and lows. It looks like it'll work out, but there's still a really strong case for having kept the boring job and looking for fulfillment elsewhere. Look up Eric Hoffer, who was a longshoreman by day, and philosopher and author by night.
I had a web-version of my application (as a web/data analyst) in German[1] that nearly every time at least created a response.This differentiated me enough, to get around the HR-filter, that was mentioned in another reply to you.

I do not know the style you were using, but doing things differently, showcasing things you are able to do and just going the extra mile to show you really want that job oftentimes helps. At least here in Germany.

OK; the wording is somewhat cordial, but that is just to showcase my personality. I strongly believe, that being rejected for this just is a great selector for places, I would not want to work.

> If s*t isn't done on a Friday afternoon and people are waiting for it I'm not going to say "Well it's home time. See you on Monday". That's just not how it works.

I think the problem here is: Why are people waiting for it? Why can't they wait until Monday?

Usually the reason for this is simple: You scheduled something important (eg. a deploy or a release) to a Friday or a Thursday. If you force yourself to schedule important stuff to Mondays, you'll see things running much more smoothly (even if everything breaks down, you probably have enough time to have it fixed by Wednesday).
That sort of goes along with the question of is pivoting myself into a front end engineer worth the effort? I'm comfortable using ajax and json services to create a UI--that's how I write my "webform" pages today.

Disagree. Water is "free" up until the point of not having water. California and Texas droughts have been very painful.

That means that all the water and nutrients in the water are recycled as the system recirculates.
That's certainly true today. I'm sure Verticulture Farms is in it for the long haul though.

The dramatic improvements in output, quality, and water use will make vertical farming superior in nearly all cases within a few decades. It'll make sense everywhere traditional farming occurs, not just in densely populated areas. That's not the case today, but it will be the case tomorrow, given this is the first inning of a multi-trillion dollar global revolution in food production. People in the future will think it's crazy that we used to grow so much of our food outside.

This whole story seems like pretty poor form. You based your business, in part, on a closed-source product, failed to test your multi-platform product on... any of the other platforms you planned on releasing it for, and then wrote up a lengthy blog post blaming the author of same closed-source product for failing to address your pet issue, as if your business being dependent upon it being fixed should somehow be his concern.
The browser support is currently 62% and rising, and a high-quality image can be shown on "not modern" browsers. So in terms of showing quality images the best possible way the support is almost 100% (we already discussed the case with the disabled JavaScript).
Farming comes with huge amounts of negative environmental externalities (lost ecosystems, runoff, pesticides). I'm curious how the cost effectiveness would change if farms were properly taxed for their environmental impact.
Noted – use of terminology could've been more accurate, but for the purpose of this article we tried to keep it quite simplified. Perhaps the wrong approach with regards to accuracy.

What were your thoughts on the broader points of the post?
Google is not supporting net neutrality. Zero Rating is a tool to encourage the opposite of net neutrality. They are lobbying the Indian Government to keep any mention of Zero Rating out of new regulations so they can keep open the idea of promoting fast lanes and free data, as long as people choose Google's content over those who don't offer Zero Rating on their products. I guess because in the end it's the ad money they want over any subscription fees they might collect.
I work for a vertical farming company (Verticulture Farms) and high property values and utility costs are killers in higher populated areas.

What part of the diffing?

Imba only uses `===` for diffing. If you want Imba to re-use a DOM node, you must use the same tag object. Imba provides syntax for caching nodes as properties on the current object.

For instance, in order to re-use DOM nodes in a for loop you do this:

for event in @events
<event@{event.id} name=event.name>

The loop body compiles down to:

(this['_' + event.id()] = this['_' + event.id()] || t$('event')).setName(event.name()).end()

The next time you render the view, Imba will find the tag objects that have been reordered (using `===`) and move them to the right place.

One thing to be aware of is that Imba doesn't automatically remove the cache for you, because we've found that it's tricky to determine when you actually want to purge it. For instance:

if mouseOver
<something>
else
<something-else>

Just because `mouseOver` becomes true for one frame doesn't mean you want the `<something-else>`-tag to be purged from the cached and removed. Keeping it around is nice for performance and convenience (e.g. state, jQuery plugins).

In practice it turns out you want to purge whole pages/sections at the same time, which is way friendlier for the garbage collector as well.
As a young-ish developer mostly interested in database and backend work, what skills/path would you say is necessary to function in a full-fledged DBA role?

The Indian government is not "banning" Google from doing anything.

> You are saying that he world's poor should become rich enough to pay for Internet, before they can get access to Internet?

In several ways, India has arguably more widespread and affordable internet infrastructure than Europe or the US. And it is getting cheaper all the time.

So the motivation of zero-rating is NOT about helping the poor. It is about the huge market that India represents and the boost in market share that companies with subsidised traffic get.
