not the gp, but I think the parent commenter means that most technological advances of the last century took place in the West and thus suffers Euro/Western-centrism.

A thousand years ago, when the Islamic caliphate was a center of science and research, Farsi and Arabic were the major languages of scientific publications and inquiry, and there was likely Eastern-centrism in many of its aspects.

Software, programming language, web-design, typography, etc. was all developed for the west and internationallization was not a major concern. Consider, for example, the timetable for the development and standardization of ASCII vs UTF-8, as well as trends of the use of UTF-8 in the web (vs. ASCII) and browser support for UTF-8. Western-centrism is not the result of malice, but it still happens.

Take Medium, for example, which launched a few years ago without proper support for RTL languages and still doesn't do a good job at that. This is a classic trade-off you do when building an "MVP". The trouble is that there is an entire ecosystem where reasonable software-engineering tradeoffs read to one culture/set of cultures being prioritized over others. Short of people of RTL cultures creating their own twitter, medium, etc., there will always be a gap.

Of course, Arab developers, like many others, do try hard to bridge the gap. Edraak is a fork of the edX MOOC platform that added proper UTF-8 and RTL support to edX in the last year or so.

Because a template would define the styles once, but be stamped multiple times, there should be minimal redundant copies of the styles themselves. How this performs will remain to be seen, as it would be up to the browsers to implement the spec optimally.

You can "pierce" the shadow DOM with the ">>>" combinator (previously /deep/), allowing you to style elements from outside of the shadow DOM. This is discouraged in the case of web components, however, as a component is supposed to operate as a black box entity. Instead, a component can expose APIs for styling, such as with CSS variables: https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/docs/devguide/styling.ht...

Edit: This article[1] has details on performance and styling options.

My biggest surprise is how this all runs on Microsoft's operating system and Microsoft does very little to nothing to facilitate this as a potential revenue stream. In fact they're just sitting by and watching as the biggest player, steam, is slowly taking their library off of windows and onto mac or linux.
DOIs are great for humans, unfortunately they'll take you to the publishers webpage and I don't know of a standard way of getting an actual PDF from a DOI. Maybe with PLOS, I know they're good at serving up different versions (xml with a different accept header iirc).

Searching for something on the page that looks like a download PDF button and trying that might get you 80% of the way there, along with at least giving the user the remaining DOI urls to visit themselves.

This is actually really relevant to a lot of problems I see so if anyone has a general solution / a 90% solution then I'm all ears :)
There is a Rocket Internet clone of Homejoy in Germany, Helpling, which already raised a high double-digit million euro amount [1] and tries to grow as fast as possible at all costs (ads with vouchers in every local train and on the streets). They also had talks about a possible acquisition of Homejoy before the shutdown.

I always wondered who invested that much in a not-proven market, will be interesting to see if they succeed where Homejoy failed (my guess: they won't).

> I doubt renewables can compete with a fusion reactor for high load power uses. So

Right now, the can compete favorably with fusion for most uses, what with fusion not actually being even remotely viable. GP seems to be offering the opinion that they will improve to compete more favorably with the best (even before considering environmental concerns) large-scale generation methods before fusion is viable, which may be overly pessimistic in terms of fusion progress, but then again, given how consistently fusion has failed predictions of imminent viability, isn't at all implausible.
For Surface Books, the price point seems to be off. It's priced higher than Macbook pro, and thus I have to justify the need for SB's exceptional portability. A MBP with i5/128GB typically sells for $1299 (but often cheaper from non-Apple online stores) , while the similar spec SB costs $1499. A MBP i7 costs $2000 while SB costs $2700+.

I'd also want it to be Unixy, so my thought is to just run VM and use the Windows 10 only as a VM host, but nothing else. However, that'd be kind of a waste for such a machine.

Most people can't afford to take a 2 month vacation unless they already have a high paying job. Sure, most people can reduce their living expenses a lot but only so much.

That's not even considering the fact that planning a pregnancy like that isn't feasible, especially for older couples - who are the ones who had enough time to save up for a two month vacation. Pregnancy doesn't work like that, it can take months to years and that's not even considering 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.

The idea pregnancy should be instant is harmful and leads to anxiety in itself.

>That's interesting that the mice with stressed parents dealt better with stress

It doesn't say they dealt with stress better. They had a blunted stress response, and in humans that might lead to depression, etc.

Presumably there must be an evolutionary reason. If the environment is very stressful, it's perhaps better to have a lower HPA axis response to stress, otherwise you would be at risk of various diseases.

I interpreted it to mean that they have a blunted stress response, nothing more. Maybe a lot of people that undergo stress have a twofold reaction: 1. downregulate the response to similar stressors 2. still have some bad feelings about what happened

I would rather have 1 & 2 than just 2 alone. So yeah, when they say "associated with" they aren't saying "caused"

> Everybody already knows that if it were possible to just pull wealth out of thin air everybody could have more. The problem is precisely that it isn't.

But he didn't pull wealth out of thin air to do this, he reinvested existing wealth back into his business.

While not every business can do this, there are arguably plenty that can. Over the past 10 years, corporate profits are up and so are executive salaries, compared to medium income.

So it's not that people wish that wealth could be create out of thin air. It's that wealth is being created, it's just being distributed differently.

I think the most insightful comment from Dan was that he realized he was still managing his business in crisis mode, hoarding cash in case another huge financial meltdown hit--but that was unintentionally impeding his business growth by harming his workforce.

This arguably describes thinking of a lot of business executives, who are hoarding cash both personally and in the businesses they lead. It's possible that this is one reason we are seeing less than stellar economic growth right now.

Good thing is that they love your service and using it.

One way companies do free trials is collect full payment information upfront but won't charge anything until free trial expires. If user won't cancel proactively - charge starts.

Another way is to charge right away, but offer full 30 days, no questions asked refund upon request.

Third way is to manually chase free trial "abusers" to gently seduce them into paying. This may work better for larger accounts that needs special sales dance.

I have to disagree: for me the final project was important to immediately put to the test the things I had learned. And - as I explained above - if the course has peer-grading (almost a given if it has a final project, because you cannot automate the evaluation of a project) you learn even more by evaluating the ways other approached their solution.

I love MS and will have a SP4 tomorrow.

I was blown away by the Surface Book presentation and my first reaction was "I want one".

But if you think about it, the product makes no sense. The bottom part holds all the battery, so you want to have it attached. But the top part has 3 hours of portability, so you don't want to have it attached. But the bottom part has a dGPU, so you might need that, some times. But the top part runs very well without the dGPU, so you don't need that.

It's just weird to me. It just wants to be everything I don't need. I'll take my SP4 with a dock and a keyboard and be just as happy.

I like Windows 10 as well. I do wish that Microsoft would make a professional version of 10 with defaults set to whatever is most secure. The way the OS silently and continuously pushes data to the cloud makes it hard to recommend 10 for use where security matters (like in medicine, banking, etc...). It should also be easier to uninstall the Bing bloatware.
I consider LaTeX resumes to be a secret handshake of sorts, something that makes me significantly more likely to be inclined-to-hire a candidate.

If you're preparing formatted text, LaTeX is the best tool for the job. It also has a steep learning curve. Preparing a resume with it says "I have the technical judgement to use the best tool for this job, even if I had to learn an arcane new programming language[0] to do it."

I, for one, am not excited about this.

It's a "oh, that's neat" feature visible only to developers, but it is not enabling anything groundbreaking for the end users, so it isn't making webapps more competitive with native. We still need iframes for 3rd party embeddable components, and for 1st party components we have good enough solutions, and the tendency seems to be abstracting the DOM away.

Web Components keep taking a lot of spec and implementation effort that could be spent on something with a bigger impact (ServiceWorkers in iOS? Transactional DOM that doesn't jank/layout-trash? Activities/Intents/Scopes for native-like sharing?)

>One of the major points made in the article is that nobody hears about the attacks that get prevented.

The government would be shouting from the rooftops if they've prevented any attacks, if only to justify the surveillance. Pre-2015 there was a report that mass surveillance had not prevented a single attack. I'm not sure if that statistic is still true, but I imagine it is.

It does them no favors to keep the attacks prevented hush-hush, as it leads citizens to believe it isn't working at all.

I've been using Polymer for a few months now after following the WebComponent spec for quite a while, and I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

While it can admittedly lend itself to a very Java Swing-feeling development flow, that's a breath of fresh air compared to the traditional mess of web code I usually end up with.

WebComponents in general (and Polymer as a particular library on top of them) I feel are going to be a 10x force multiplier for web development.
To be fair, there are a lot of terrorist attacks, just not in the west. The conceit here is that terrorism is primarily aimed at the west, it's not. Terrorism is a tool of political control, and right now the most important application is "at home". Terrorism is a daily concern in countries like Iraq, Pakistan, or Nigeria.

Mild disagree here: the premium isn't coming from cleaners, it is coming from a hundred thousand or so local mom-and-pop operations which own one to five trucks. They hire substantially the same workers by demographics and do not appear to give their employees meaningfully superior compensation than the on-demand service companies.

The model appears to be centralize lead generation nationwide, pool support resources, and then price below market. In some cases that pricing is a result of VC subsidization of middle class customers. Longer term it would have to be through operational efficiency gains.

True but that won't keep the high end alive. You don't need a very powerful machine to do office stuff. Gaming will keep the "performance PC" alive until a few more years of Moore's Law and people start realizing that these high-end gaming PCs with neonz can run the same sorts of "big data" work loads you can presently only really run in the cloud. In 5-10 years a sub-$2000 performance PC will have 8TB of PCI-X flash, 16 CPU cores, umpteen gazillion GPU cores, and 128GB of RAM, and "wait why do I need Amazon Cloud when I can have it on my desk at 0ms latency?"
I'm curious, what proportion of readers here think that the US will be able to compete against China over the next, say 50 years?
I would not be so sure about that.

Sure, there is a real comfort to work when you have big screens and a mouse/keyboard, but you don't actually need a PC for that, a tablet is enough.

Right now, PC are still way cheaper and the difference in power is still sensible, but I think this will change very quickly.

Of course, this is true for basic office work : if you need power, as a dev/graphist/whatever, a PC will still be the way to go.

However, most office job don't actually need that much power, and the flexibility offered by a tablet is huge : being able to work from anywhere, bringing your whole computer to take notes/read mails during a reunion, etc...
