Redux to me is the most exciting part of patterns like Flux. Specifically the idea of immutable state where to change the state you replace the current state with a new object. This allows to do really cool things such as undo/redo of actions. Check this simple video out to understand the power of Flux + immutable state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWq_3EH_mpg&feature=youtu.be

"If a company can make money by deceiving or manipulating people, someone is going to create such a company, and it will prosper (unless the law regulates it). And if it prospers, companies that do not deceive or manipulate people may well be at a competitive disadvantage."

The amount of of infrastructure you have to deploy to use this seems excessive.[1] You need NGrok (a commercial service) to get through NAT. You need Docker to install. You need Heroku, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS or Google Cloud to host. Then you need a reverse proxy, HAProxy, Nginx or Apache Httpd, for some reason.

How many sysadmins does it take to screw this in?

I respect Robert Schiller a lot. And I think there are legitimate areas where people are being manipulated into buying expensive things (recent news on pharma companies are a good example of this). But the book (as presented in the article) is incredibly overreaching.

There is an easy solution to the phishermen/phools problem in many cases: don't buy what you are pushed by others to buy. Combine that with the proverbial "there is no free lunch" and you are more or less safe.

I remember when I was a student during the heyday of the financial swing that led to the 2008 crash, I was walking thorough the Hamburg airport and a young representative of American Express caught me and tried to convince me to sign up for American Express Gold (afaik, a product tier two steps down from the mythical American Express Black).

"What is your income?" she asked me.
"I don't know. I'm a student, I live off 400 Euros a month."
"Alright, I'll write 40 000 EUR annual income in the form."

At that point not alarm bells, loud ass alarm sirens were going off in my head and I've politely disengaged and walked on. And that was the suprisingly easy way how I avoided crippling credit card debt.

The problem is really not in the free market per se, but industries that don't allow robust competition and that aren't scrutinized by consumers. The first part is achieved by regulation. When was the last time utilities, energy companies, banks, and pharmaceuticals were challenged by a newcomer? The second part is made possible by us not caring what we buy or continuing buying something purely out of emotion. "What's that? Google now allows companies to directly put ultra-targeted adds in your inbox? That surely doesn't sound like legalized spam. And they say they're not evil."

Hi garrensmith.

I'll admit that there are some similarities, but our focus is very different. What you see today is perhaps closer to Trello than what the experience of Someone.io will be a few months from now.

We have heard from many users who tell us that it is our design and attention to detail that they prefer over Trello. We know that won’t be the case for everyone, but there is plenty of demand for products that serve a similar purpose to Trello, but do things a little differently.

With that said, I think there are 3 main differences between us and Trello.
1. We are team focused. Someone.io is specifically focused on delivering value to teams in a work environment, where Trello has much broader aims. Our focus on teams allows us to better meet their needs.
2. We have simple but beautiful design. We want to be the easiest and most engaging task management tool on the market. Our research tells us that some users find Trello to be “dull" and “uninspiring" and we’ve found particular traction with creative teams who enjoy our approach.
3. We are in the process of becoming the first "Social Task Management” tool. Together with our research partners, we have developed some features designed to make users feel more interconnected with their team and more engaged with their work which we’ll start deploying soon.

Thanks for your question, have a great day!

On the supply side:
No patents, or easy/cheap to license patents. Technical trade secrets don't remain so for very long.
Large margins for one or a few suppliers/manufacturers.

Actually... you don't need any of those. It's only a suggestion. You can also install NodeJS, download YouTransfer, set the port to 80 and run it.

However, it is highly recommended to either use Docker, a reverse proxy, any of the PaaS providers or a combination of the above.

But "These people seem to be kicked out as soon as they do something politically incorrect." in the West depends on the country/state/company/current political side of the gov etc what is considered 'politically (in)correct' and they would generally actually have to DO it, not only say something. I hear CEO's/reporters/etc 'in the west' making weird too right or too left-ish remarks and no-one cares. In China that seems all quite clear ; they would be out while here it really very much depends what they say/do, where they are and in what capacity.
Ill keep an eye on this, it all boils down to the pricing. Eg id be quite happy to spool up a few servers based on what my mates amd i are playing (especially if i have access to mod the files - talking specifocly about arma 3 mods now), but if its more expensive than a standard server, id prefer not to waste the time setting it all up.

Goodluck, and hopefully the pricings good!
I think those are supposed to be alternate options, depending on where and how you want to run it.
It was probably a pioneer effect with dominant position and far too much resources. They were doing complicated stuff (compared to <?perl for @range { say date(); } ?>), so it lead to premature abstraction over still-cooking paradigm.

It makes it easier for sure, but undo/redo isn't dependent on immutability.

This is not an individual problem. We may be smart enough, well-rested enough, with enough financial reserves etc. to avoid these scams in most cases, but the whole market is warped by what works on the average person. You shouldn't have even been put in that position, the lady trying to hook people into debt should have been contributing something useful to society, as should the people who get hooked into debt and end up funding the next generation of scams.

I believe in the power of market competition, that's why externalities scare me so much.

The book definitely mentioned the "information superhighway" a lot. I remember it as being focused on the AOL/Compuserve vision of the internet, a commercial, controlled experience. These days Facebook's "internet.org" project is the inheritor of that.

> Are you suggesting that if Google released the Android bits under the GPL license and not the Apache they would be been compliant

Of course! OpenJDK is licensed to the entire world under the GPL, and anyone is explicitly permitted to do whatever the hell they please with it.

OpenJDK is probably the world's second-largest open-source project (after the Linux kernel), and possibly the world's most active. OTOH, with the rare exceptions of Android (that has significant parts forked from Apache Harmony) and Go, Google has made scant contributions to open-source in general. Netflix, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook are all much bigger open-source contributors than Google. True, Oracle is not a big fan of the ton of open-sourceness it inherited from Sun, and has even made the terrible decision to stop contributing to OpenSolaris, but painting Google as a champion of the developer community and a defender of OSS is ridiculous. I have no love for Oracle, and even less love for Google, but in this story Oracle weren't the bad guys.

> Java would be in a constant annual decline had it not been for Google and Android.

That is completely unfounded. Even within Google (one of the world's biggest Java shops), Android is not one of the biggest Java codebases. Objective-C is a client-side language. Java is first and foremost used on the server. Client-side Java (including Android, which isn't really Java) is a very small part of the Java ecosystem.
Sadly this is often the way with studying the medieval period, when records were sparse, and most people couldn't write. My guess is they didn't explicitly state it because as a magazine for medievalists their readership is going to implicitly understand that written accounts can't be taken as the opinion of everyone.

Having said that, it appears cats weren't universally hated, a quick Google reveals this blog post[1] about cats and their relationship with scribes. It seems that there was a similar feel to many modern cat owners, the well known affection for an animal that will not be told what to do.

>don't buy what you are pushed by others to buy

I think this is much easier said than done - your example of credit card pushers is an extreme example of pushiness.

I think in the majority of cases where you buy something, you may not realise that you've been pushed to buy it. Shopping in supermarkets is one example - they make a "path" for you to follow, stuff you may not usually buy is positioned in such ways that you stumble over them, things you usually wouldn't buy are on offer, your loyalty card gives you an offer on the stuff you usually buy, more examples here: https://theconversation.com/conspiracy-or-commercialism-are-...

You then wind up buying these things ("oh, I haven't cooked X in a while, that should be fun") without realising that the supermarket created the situation in which you thought this buy to be desirable, without explicitly pushing you.

The "Norman Rockwell dinner" is definitely doable - my family did it when I was growing up. But my mother didn't work outside the house, so she could shop during the day and thaw frozen meats and what not while working mothers are still trying to get away from the office.

That, I think, is the key. It's not reasonable to expect a big production dinner when both parents have full time jobs, particularly professionals who have to work late on occasion. That takes a level of organization most people just don't have.

But why are we not at zero? Because there is some kind of value in possessing nuclear weapons. There were so many nuclear weapons that it didn't really hurt to get rid of a lot of them, the really meaningful steps are getting rid of the last hundred, the last ten and of course the last one. So as long as the nuclear powers keep a couple of them they keep most of the value of being a nuclear power while denying that value to all other countries seeking this power. The USA could really strengthen their position by just getting rid of all its nuclear weapons. And even then they would still be in a better position because there is still the knowledge to build new ones.

Another commenter mentioned it, but I'm going to +1 using Redux [0] as well. If you need to pick up a framework, Redux is a great choice to consider, it's tiny and very simple. It pushes you towards keeping a lot of your business logic as pure JS, so testing your code tends to be really easy (and it means your code is re-usable, it's not tied super tightly to X or Y framework!). If you use it with React it's also a joy to test.

Something that Redux doesn't solve is data fetching, caching, and mutations. If you have a reasonably sized application, you'll end up having to implement a lot of logic surrounding data fetching and caching by yourself. The suggested solution is to store your resources normalized, indexed by id, and create selectors to get the data in the shape you want. This works out alright, but it's tedious and during your first few iterations on it you'll probably find yourself with a lot of boilerplate code.

Facebook released Relay [1], which gives you the solution for data fetching and caching. If you give it a try, you'll be amazed by how much mental overhead simply disappears. You want data? You get it, that's it! But then your new problem is that you need a GraphQL server, and since it's a new technology that's not very mature (outside of Facebook at least), it means you'll have to do a reasonable amount of exploring. (I should really clarify that this is in no way the fault of the Facebook teams that put out Relay and GraphQL, both tools are amazing! It's simply that the ecosystems needs time to evolve and adapt.)

I'd say that in one or two years from now a formidable amount of frontend app will be using some variation on Relay and GraphQL.

Despite this and all other evidence to the contrary, I don't understand how some people still stick to the idea of efficient markets and speak against government intervention. The market system must be our slave, not our master.
The way we accept this at the level of society is also worrying. See, if a friend tried to do to you the things advertisers do all the time, you'd punch him in the face. But somehow we have no problems being intentionally manipulated, lied to and deceived by companies every day. In fact, we turned it into a legitimate occupation.

Yes, this will not work at all in countries/ISP with VoIP blockage. You might check mizutech voip tunnel (http://www.mizu-voip.com/Software/VoIPTunnel.aspx) using more serious encryption and obfuscation and still in need for constant improvements because of "deep packet inspection" used nowadays by many ISP's. Some provider blocks all UDP, some allows only HTTP on port 80 and there are ISP's with even more restrictions. For example in Iran the ISP just drops all stream with both up and download, thus making all these kind of simple hacks unusable. (To bypass such kind of blockage you need to split your traffic to multiple up/download links via multiple server addresses).
Raft: Understandable Distributed Consensus
The quality of web apps seems to be inversely proportional to the vertical length of its front webpage. So this looks pretty good!

For an app like this, dedicating the team's time to it should take no less than 5 minutes of attention per person, about the time it takes someone to deliver post-it notes to everyone's desk or mount a corkboard to the wall. This also seems to work within that principle.
