No it's not. It's the opposite of a carcinogen. It becomes carcinogenic because of the food, grass-fed meat has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore helps preventing cancer.

Vegetables and leafy greens are not the holy grail, because for this goes almost the same as meat. They can be full with pesticides and be nutrition deficient because of industrial farming.

Whatever you eat, if you want to avoid or lower your risk of getting cancer, eat only organic, non-processed food, ban sugar, and drastically limit the intake of fructose-rich fruits.

And for those who don't care, eat whatever you want, nobody stops you from doing so :)
There are alternatives to high taxes. We could have a Georgism-inspired economic system in which the land and natural resources are publicly owned and leased from the state, but what you create is yours alone. That way, there are no "high taxes" on what you create. The universal basic income is financed wholly by the wealth from leasing everyone's land and natural resources (which is much more justifiable because land is always appropriated - never created).

This has kept me on vimwiki with .md extensions so that vim will at least do syntax highlighting for markdown. You can easily link to local multimedia files, but they don't display inline. As a bonus, a diary entry for the day is just <leader>w<leader>w away.

What about performance? How many data queries can it handle per component, realistically? How many connections can it handle? I.e., where will this solution break down?

Are the transactions (issued from within the browser) performed optimistically? If so, will this not give "flicker" in the browser in case a transaction needs to be rolled back? Is it also possible to easily perform a transaction from the server (i.e., not optimistically)?
The thing that would make all these markdown editors a killer app for me is an easy way to link between documents. Something like vimwiki, where you can surround a word or group of words with "[[" "]]" and it turns that word into a [[link]]. These apps are great for editing a single document, but fall down when you want to create a notebook or set of interlinked notes.

I know there are issues in China, but maybe fix our own problems first.

P.S.: I've been to China, and I've seen people using tech even in remote places with a much higher causality for solving language barriers for example, compared to Western nations. Also, they don't give a bit about copyright ideas, so no, internet censorship is definitely not killing innovation there. Slowing it down a littlebit, maybe, but not killing it.
Except for the 1984 implications, I have to wonder about the trade agreement implications with copying business plans and keeping the users inside the firewall.

There really ought to be lots of clauses about illegal support of national companies over international competition which are applicable? China ought to be really sensitive about trade wars.

Non-standard markdown but a welcome decision.

Numbered lists with gaps and line breaks are still impossible sadly. I'll see if my other personal pet gripes against Markdown are handled any differently when I remember what they are.

Admittedly Word and many other wysiwyg editors are sometimes less than helpful in this area but at least it's possible without resorting to tricks such as using double-dots to defeat the auto-formatting.

Outliers, likely in many ways. Young, talented people, wealthy enough to own a car and smart enough to get into and through YC. They probably had family and a home life to return to if they failed. I agree, that isn't "homeless". You can't point at such examples as the model for most people on the streets, though.

I think it's an excellent argument FOR libertarianism. If something as minor as you being confused by stores not following your preconceptions about Black Friday (which is a completely artificial concept, and not invented by you either) is considered enough for government intervention and prohibiting people to shop when they want and store owners to open when they want - it definitely looks like an argument for not giving you (or anyone) a power to actually have such influence. The bar is just way too low. If people are unable to distinguish between their personal confusion and a serious problem that requires government to intervene, then limiting the access to government intervention as much as possible, at least until people are mature enough to distinguish between serious issues and their personal quirks, looks like a very prudent idea. The alternative would be a random hodgepodge of weird laws and bylaws, composed of somebody's personal quirks, by now long forgotten, which summarily is bad for everyone but not dismissed because everyone wants their chance to implement their own quirks. Which of course no country would want to happen to them... oh wait...

From what I've gathered so far, Vue seems like it is basically a better Ractive, and it makes more sense to use it for my next project. But perhaps I'm missing some important differences between the two?

Interestingly, we're using our "own" router that I wrote in a fit of frustration; it's tiny, not particularly well documented and has the interesting design choice of handing the route matching on to the user of the library; give each <Route /> component a name and have your route matcher callback return that name and you're good to go.

The reason why I went down that route (pun intended) was that we built a rather large, isomorphic/universal web application that for SEO reasons had to act like a website vs a web app most of the time; until it started up the client side JS anyway. "react-router-component" was so close to what we wanted, but because it used React's somewhat undocumented "context" feature, it didn't play nicely with our Flux implementation at the time (Flummox).

For that reason, my tiny router came into being, and for some reason it keeps sticking around despite my best efforts...

The "unless required by law (...)" part is the problem.

Compare it to ISC's disclaimer:

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.

The intent is that I provide code and I'm not held liable if you use it irresponsibly or recklessly. Whatever current laws are, licenses can be tested in some local court and found invalid, but laws change and not all courts rule the same on a Tuesday. Therefore a license should state intent and not encode a certain market's laws from a certain year.

Patents are a special case because of the racketeering going on. Like copyright, the patent system was meant to foster more published work and not as a money making and extortion mechanism. There's a reason why places without concern for copyright or patents are more innovative. In that sense the liberal licenses encourage use in all situations by anybody because they want it to be used rather than restrict who's allowed to use it in what way.

The real problem is that there is no software safety or quality standard which can be measured and tested like for everyday items such as knives or power tools and won't exist for the immediate future. But that doesn't mean we should include disclaimers that hold you liable if somebody deletes their backups with your implementation of /bin/rm.

The interesting question then is if you need and want GPLv2 and Apache License 2.0 because they explicitly claim liability, does that mean you cannot use OpenSSH, OpenSSL or FreeBSD? Wouldn't you in that case be using an "illegal" tool like medicine from another continent?

Why not vimwiki?
http://texts.io/ is my recommnedation. It's WYSIWYM -- write Markdown, view real formatted text. And it uses Pandoc under the hood, so it's exporting tools are awesome; and worst case, kick it out to XeTex and render it exactly how you want
I'd also like to see this comparison. Last year I came close to using React, but picked Knockout because React was fairly immature at the time. I'd like something a bit more "right-weight" and am interested to see what Aurelia's author has done (he made a larger framework based on Knockout). I really like that Aurelia is embracing upcoming standards like web components, and it looks like Vue is also doing the same. Aurelia also seems to be designed with TypeScript in mind, which is a big draw for me as sometimes some common Javascript patterns are awkward to deal with in TS.

Also, by "right-weight" I think this is meant in terms of API and features, not file size. Sorry, but I don't think that bringing up the file size of various other frameworks is that productive of an addition to this thread.
Hello,

If you were willing to trade markdown for asciidoc (same goal, different execution), then a combination of asciidoc in vim simultaneously with the asciidoc previewed in google chrome could be a good approximation of what you want. Embedded images work quite well because you can easily specify the final width you want the image to take, on the page... for example. Finally, you can easily produce a pdf with 'a2x'.

Your "solution" is also well on its way to making the earth uninhabitable, and is also responsible for creating societies that have incredibly poor mental and emotional health.

Worse, the opportunity costs of future development lost because of short-sighted greed - the poor energy choices, the regular financial meltdowns, the fact that so much progress relies on military spending and research, the vast cost of industries like smoking and sugar that are only profitable because they destroy the health of their customers - hardly suggests this is the best of all possible worlds.

If economics came with built-in accounting for the cost of externalities, predictable human failure modes, network effects, and negative feedback for corporate sociopathy, we'd probably be on our way to the rest of the galaxy.

The Internet electric cars are a nice consolation prize, but they're not any more than that - certainly not when the effects of poverty and caste stratification still waste so much human talent and cause so many catastrophes that we're decades behind where we could be.

I use Reagent (another Clojurescript React library), and it seems this might widen the gap between the two in terms of ease-of-getting-started. Reagent is dead simple to get going with, and requires you learn basically nothing to build even moderately complicated things. Om is... somewhat notorious for having more complex abstractions built around deep thought about maintaining e.g. a single point of mutable data. This new stuff is... not something I think I could get right the first try.

That all being said, David Nolan is clearly a gamer -- Om will be interesting to watch even for people who aren't using it.

I feel in the last years we're having a resurgence of management/simulation games.
