I don't think it's a different discussion, I think it's the discussion we should be having, because it cuts straight to the heart of the matter. Due to globalism other nations are rising, it's true, but the argument I keep hearing is that, "well, now they are rising they are going to compete with us and America just has to get used to a lower level of living standards than it's used to..." and I have major issues with this point of view, largely because of the pretense that globalism was good for America and just now suddenly won't be.

I think that NAFTA (and the soon to pass travesty that is the TPP) are globalization tools that negatively affect the American worker, and largely this is due to the undermining of the idea of national sovereignty and the dismissal of protectionism that I think is premature. I think protectionism should be a duty of a nation-state to it's citizens, because until I can call myself a citizen of the world, I think my own government has a duty to protect it's and my self-interests, one of those being economic stability and growth.

In this case this is my primary issue with the supranational oligarchy. They operate on a global scale, without regard to borders, and while they formerly exploited the third world, now that the third world has been ravaged so much, they are turning inward to their own populaces, and have begun eating us from the inside out, extracting wealth.

Corporations have a charter from the government, and corporations that undermine national sovereignty and interests should have their charters revoked (as Max Keiser would say,executed). If we don't curtail these powers now we are going to wake up with a global government of oligarchy unaccountable to the people. (who are sure to say "but look at how much better off everyone is now! it was all for the greater good!")

The key element to remember is is that class warfare is real, and the rich are winning. Globally. It's not just about money either, it's about freedoms and liberties.

Yeah, I was being a bit negative. I'm actually not opposed to the idea of web apps (although I think that the sole virtue of HTML+CSS+JavaScript is that it exists): they really can be useful, and there's no good alternative (which is truly sad).

What annoys me to no end is 'apps' which are really just content browsers. I already have a content browser: it's called…a browser. There are well-defined semantics about how it retrieves content (resources). It works on the command line, within emacs, in a TTY, in a GUI and on my phone. It can be configured to run no untrusted code. It's really, really powerful.
Within the confines of our Constitution, which has been well-interpreted by the fine, honorable justices of our Supreme Court, how would you stop the violent, law-breaking gang member from getting firearms?

That's not actionable unless you're willing to suffer a 2nd civil war which your side would lose very badly, and all for the conceit that criminals would pay attention to such laws, especially when we already have well over 300 million guns in the country.

A US police officer who doesn't assume a public contact might result in a lethal threat from a gun or edged weapon is an idiot.

Indeed, my next question would involve objectively differentiating the two. I'm starting with the presumption that being above the bottom line at least constitutes a sustainable[1] existence, if not a comfortable one.

"private right to kill people" - hah. I assume you value the lives of criminals more than the law-abiding.

If you burglarize my home, attack me, or otherwise commit felonious acts on my property, my person, I have the right to stop that threat. You do not believe that people should have the right to protect themselves?

> Horn testified that the decision to use the cheating software was not made at the corporate level. Instead, it was "software engineers who put this in for whatever reason." He said three people have been suspended over the issue and that "this was not a corporate decision."

>When asked how the cheating software worked, Horn said he didn't know. "Personally, no. I'm not an engineer," he said.

It is a good reminder, if you've ever doubted it, that if someone asks you to do something illegal/not compliant, you'll be thrown under the bus if the company get caught.

I have a really hard time believing that this was the decision of a lone wolf at the bottom of the food chain. At least, the management is responsible for creating (or not) a culture of compliance vs result at any cost.
Did you actually try this? I just searched for a Vancouver business, the name of which I'm not exactly sure of, to find the hours. The yellowpages site didn't find the business at all but it was the first result in Google with direct links to their website, a map, and the closing time was listed right in the search results. It turns out I did get the business name slightly wrong.

Ironically, the 4th link on the page was a link to that business on yellowpages.ca -- so they did have a listing but I couldn't find it by seaching there.

Google is the one tool to do everything and it does things more than well enough that sites like yellowpages.ca are pretty irrelevant.

All true, sadly. However, good actors speak in ways that can be heard and understood, and good directors make the action understandable. (Understandable in context: you might be in a fairyland where the world is different.)

Well, the Supremes don't actually support "bearing" arms, just "keeping" them, so there's room there, the plain language of the 2nd Amendment notwithstanding.

Plus the law at all levels, as well as pretty much everyone but I suppose the criminal class, supports making it illegal for a "violent, law-breaking gang member" to possess a firearm if he's been convicted of a violent felony (well, any felony, but we all agree about the violent ones).
"Once again, therefore, Russia and eastern Europe serves as an imaginary space in which western nations can play out their own crises of identity, without having to confront them directly."

Great quote. After having lived in East Europe for some years this completely matches my experience.
The numbers I've seen are adjusted for inflation and show that real wages have been largely stagnant since the early 70s. There have been periods of modest gain, usually when the economy is absolutely roaring like the late 90s, but the general trend has been flat to downward. The lower you are on the totem pole the worse it's been: the upper middle has seen some gain, the middle none, and the lower middle has lost ground.

I'm also not sure that I fully believe the inflation numbers. It's not necessarily that I think they're fraudulent, but I don't think the methodology for calculating inflation has caught up with reality. The models I've seen assume inflation to be consistent across the economy, which may have been largely true in the 20th century but is true no longer.

The problem is that inflation since the early 2000s has been extremely uneven. We've had massive deflation in some areas, like manufactured goods. But necessities -- especially real estate, health care, and college tuition -- have almost hyper-inflated.

You can go without gadgets and toys but not without food and a place to live. We've had near-hyperinflation in necessities but it doesn't show in the stats because the stats average those numbers in with the deflationary numbers you get if you look at TV sets, appliances, and computers.

Real estate is utterly insane. I cannot even comprehend how it can possibly be so high. How can you have a market for real estate at these prices? Who's buying it and what parallel universe of limitless wealth do they come from?

I'm not talking about areas like the Bay Area, which has peculiar circumstances at work, or always-hot areas like Manhattan. There will always be "bubbles" of high prices vs. the rest of the market. If you look across the average of the market, real estate is crazy when compared to wages. I suppose it may be a function of historically cheap money causing larger home loans and jacking up prices, but it's essentially locked anyone out who isn't rich or willing to sign up for a crazy mortgage.
>John Criscitello placed posters in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood proclaiming “Welcome! Rich Kids,” and “Wish you weren’t here.”

Its hard not to feel angry at people like this. "Rich Kids" really? These "Kids" spent years developing their engineering skills to get to the point where they are now. Are engineers paid a lot? Of course. But we're certainly not in the same category as those who inherit wealth. Most engineers that I know come from incredibly humble backgrounds.
Little known fact, but we did start out with the goal of amassing a large library, and we even put significant effort with some former Netflix-prize winners in building a recommendation engine.

The first big problem, which you see on Netflix as well, is that a recommendation engine really falls off in efficiency when your selection is thin, and the original dream of streaming every film is never going to happen because of a price squeeze from the content side (hence Netflix moving into production and focusing on exclusive content).

The second, perhaps bigger problem (particularly for our audience) is that there is only so much metadata that you can pump into a film database that will tell you categorically if someone wants to watch it. People like to be delighted by discovering a new film, not because it is somehow akin to 20 other films they liked, but because of where they are in their life now, and the contemporary meaning of that film. I know curation has become possibly the most annoying buzzword in SV circles lately, but it has been our approach since 2007, real actual curation by human beings—not algorithms that purport to be "curatorial" on a pitch deck.

Indeed; as far as we can tell, they executed one of the associates of the Tsarnaev brothers. Heck, we can go all the way back to Dillinger, they didn't give him a chance to surrender.
it all depends. with graphql your backend can become really stupid and just handle saving and retrieving data, making it super easy to deploy, scale, archive, etc.

on the other hand having super dump backend makes it expensive to query data, since we have light speed limit for roundtrip between request and response at best.

what graphql does - it shifts point which does all these multiple requests closer to the storage layer and return you processed results based on query you asked.

if you application already returns rich data structures - graphql is probably do not belong here (right now). if you develop true microservices architecture - graphql sitting on top of it certainly might make sense.

as usual - it depends :)
About security, I'd also like to see just one example project where Role based authorization is implemented with GraphQL+Relay+React. Unfortunately, despite being so common requirement these days, I couldn't find any so far.

Edit: I'm interested more in GraphQL official JavaScript implementation, since that's the one most people are going to use.

If guns were illegal and cops still carried guns, they'd pull them when they walk into rooms. Why wouldn't they?
Hyper-v runs debian fine if you rather avoid virtual box. Also there's cygwin for anything that doesn't require a vm (scripting). I'd always run a dev environment as a vm to simulate a production environment. However, if I'm just writing bash scripts or anything that doesn't require installing a db/web server/etc cygwin is adequate enough.
We just need to ban guns. The second amendment isn't written in stone. Or it could get some extremely significant limitations added.

People wouldn't like it of course, so it would never fly. But we need to get rid of this idiotic notion that you need a gun to protect yourself in a civil society. You don't. You're not going to rise up against the government, and you're not going to need it to protect your family.

Are there exceptions? Sure. But when guns are so readily available, any criminal that wants one has one.

The ridiculous line "if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns" or whatever, is nonsensical. If guns are outlawed, most criminals will have a hard time finding guns. But all law enforcement officers will still have them.

I've only lived in Seattle for about 6 years, but have seen / felt a rise in rents over that time. When we moved here, lots of rentals were offering one or two months free rent as a move in special. Now, not so much.

Because he was sick of friends moving away, a friend of mine made his rookie run for the city council this past year. He didn't survive the primary, but he had some good ideas about housing that have in part been taken up by other candidates going forward.

The first was a mandatory inclusionary zoning policy, which would give developers building incentives, such as allowing additional height, in exchange for a fixed percentage of units being affordable. Affordability here was defined in terms of HUD's guidelines for percentage of income spent on housing (in this case assuming someone earning Seattle's decidedly not-livable minimum wage).

Some form of that first idea seems to have survived my friend's candidacy to live on in other proposals / candidate platforms. Another that I thought was clever, but hasn't seen much uptake, tried addressing the problem from the demand side. Here the idea is that Seattle would run its own voucher program to subsidize rents for low-income people. This one was a little more ambitious and would require new revenues, but is a nice alternative to supply side options.

And of course a purely supply side solution doesn't entirely solve the problem. New units tend to command higher rents in general. Also, a glut of condos might not reduce prices so much as encourage speculation from non-resident owners. Certainly more units need to built, but new construction doesn't entirely solve affordability in the near term.
> md RAID will require a lengthy reshape

Array reshapes are rare, and it'll only use idle IO bandwidth anyway. Redundancy is guaranteed during the whole process. So I don't see this as a problem.

> BTRFS supports adding a new drive, reshape (balance) is optional

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't know btrfs supported array reshapes. I'm waiting for it to mature (RAID5/6 was only added in 3.19, for example) but I expect I'll switch over at some point, probably at the point it's considered "boring" (exactly the experience I want from my filesystems).
I would agree with that. Small story: Working on the retail side of Amazon, one day I got pissed that if I wanted to use PostgreSQL that I had to set up my own EC2 server and EBS infrastructure and maintain it, whereas if I wanted a MySQL instance I could just use RDS. I had a few legitimate usecases at the time that required PostGIS, so I was annoyed about it and I vented on a few mailing lists about the lack of PostgreSQL in RDS.

In a move that I would have never seen in the retail side, a product manager at RDS emailed me and set up a meeting with me and a director and VP. He invited me to make my case for having PostgreSQL as an RDS option. For about an hour I explained why the existing options didn't fit my use case, how there was a burgeoning market that was waiting for it due to Oracle's mismanagement of MySQL, and how there were several teams within Amazon that preferred the strictness and standards compliance of PostgreSQL but chose MySQL due to not having to manage it. They thanked me, and less than a year later there was a public announcement of a PostgreSQL offering in RDS.

I don't think I can take full credit for them launching it...they already had public forum threads of people asking for it and tons of +1 responses. But they actually listened to me, and they took into account my expressed desires to have several extensions available as well. That sort of bottoms up communication doesn't happen on the other side of Amazon.

I don't know for sure how many iPhone users have ever plugged their device into a computer for anything other than a quick battery top up, but my hunch is most people just don't sync phones with computers any more, they sync them with iCloud or Google. I don't own an iPhone, but I've never even attempted to synchronise my phone with my laptop - contacts, calendar, and email come from Google, music from Spotify, and video from Netflix or Amazon. The closest I've come is copying some photos off the SD card.
