Cherry picking the MANNED Saturn V missions conveniently leaves out the unmanned Apollo 6 test where pogo vibrations borked two of the second stage engines and caused third stage relight to fail.

And if you want to consider the whole Saturn V STACK then you're going to have to consider counting Apollo 13 as a failure. The "payload" for Apollo is, in the end, really just the Command Module.
A small part of it is that your events are basically constant streams of data (think arrays) you can map, reduce, and filter (among other functions) and then present. Here is a short article on it:

Most people owed pensions are solidly middle class. They are way better off than the young people who will be paying for them.

And blaming the financial sector for the pension crisis is ridiculous. States and municipalities entered into very risky financial arrangements because for years they made very optimistic actuarial assumptions about pension fund growth, and committed to benefits that could not be sustained once population growth plateaued.

Investing in those risky assets was a gambit to get the kind of returns they needed to stay solvent. That gambit failed, but financial companies didn't create the underfunding that led to the need to invest in risky assets in the first place.
I don't know how it works in the US, but here in Spain pensions are normally paid by the national government, so the problem is not local to a city.
This same obstacle is waiting for you on <every other product you will ever build> and is what differentiates successful products/companies from the also-rans so don't just give up, persevere and try anything you can think of until something sticks or you run out of ideas/opportunities/passion for it.

It's okay to fail after you've tried everything, but if you quit now to build something new you're just aspiring to get back to this point equally unprepared to take your idea from launch to success.

> Pensions are an issue that divides rich and poor.

I am not rich, but I am young. And I despise the fact that I'm paying for retirement programs and pensions for people who just happened to be born at the right time with the right job.

It's fundamentally unjust that we're forced, by law, to pay for benefits we will never receive.

maybe. of course, China is currently pursuing a strong yuan policy. propping up the yuan amid massive capital flight. on current capital flows the yuan is overvalued. if you go to Shanghai you're not going to feel like you're in a super weak currency 3rd world country. you're going to feel like you're in boomtown Chicago of the late 19th century.

you don't want to have free trade and get cheap stuff from China, slap a massive tariff on them, you pay $2,000 for your iPhone, you deal with massive smokestack industries here, and of course become a manufacturing ghetto since you can't export anything if you refuse to import anything.

Programming is littered with people "just trying things" and "hacking" and other crudities like "experimentation" and "exploration."

We need regulation, regimentation and a predictable level of service.

You should also be required to obtain a license (after a 90 day waiting period) for each computer you own, even if it's not going to be used for programming.

It's the only way we can reduce the number of data breaches and crashes.
> people who work for a living

I'm pretty sure that people on pensions are in fact not working.

Also, it's the people "who work for a living" who are forced to pay for these pensions. Someone who sat in a cushy DMV job for 30 years working 40 hours a week gets a better retirement than I will ever have? No thanks.
> The top 0.1% have as much as the bottom 90% (which includes housing wealth as well as pension wealth).

Even assuming tapping billionaires' wealth is a zero-impact answer, that doesn't necessarily help you if you're in a random municipality which has overpromised on its pension plan. As one example, take San Jose, which is Bay Area but not prime Bay Area (and beginning to see pension problems) and could easily see its richest citizens moving a few cities away to somewhere like Cupertino or Mountain View if it means a 5% savings on income tax. And what of cities like Stockton, CA, which was already bankrupted by its pensions and doesn't exactly have a bevy of billionaires to tap?

I guess you could hope for the day that the federal government decides to send a bunch of its money to your own local government, but the rest of the nation is likely to resent that so they might not approve of the measure.
Lots of ways: Chicago's ability to pay (lack of political power to tax the rich), the dependence on deferred wealth (lack of real savings amongst teachers), politicians who don't have to respond to middle class people and can continually raid their pension funds.
I don't believe 90% of the top 1000 WP plugins don't have vulnerabilities, so this doesn't feel like a great result for static analysis.

Two corrections:

1. You can use types with React, either via Flow or in TypeScript with TSX. Unlike with Angular, with React you can also get type checking even in the JSX template (checking for valid component property types included, even with TypeScript)

2. You can "externalise" your render method if you really want to by simply writing

import MyComponentTemplate from './external-template.tsx'

let MyComponent = React.createClass({
..
render: MyComponentTemplate
..
})

then in external-template.tsx

export default function render() {
return <template goes here>....
}

Most React users think its unnecessary, but it doesn't mean its not possible.
Forward security is obviously a desirable design feature in a CSPRNG (as a building block that's evaluated and reviewed on its own merits), but I can't help but feel that it's often distracting people from a whole system view.

If an attacker has access to your computer on a level where he can inspect the CSPRNG's state, you've probably lost completely and no reseeding will help you.
Study Finds That Asians Take Fewest Vacation Days, Europeans Take Most
I'm but a dumb computer developer but I have often wondered if it possible (not now but way into the future) to make a telescope like detector based on neutrinos. Although you still have the resolution problem I think neutrinos are affected by different things than photons (ie ambient light should not be a problem). I know there are neutrino detectors but none of them show the shape of galaxies (I think).
That's fallacious reasoning.

React is less full-featured than Angular is less full-featured than ExtJS and so on.

You're not going to use a single tool to build your project. You're almost guaranteed to using different tools to build your frontend and backend (even if some of the tools may be the same or some of the code may be shared). You're extremely likely to use more than one tool for either of them.

Nothing will "provide all [you] need". If it did, it wouldn't be a library or framework, it would already be the finished product you're trying to build.

React does one specific thing and it does it incredibly well. If that thing is what you need: great, you can use React as one of the tools to build your product. If it's not what you need: don't use it. You shouldn't worry about whether something provides everything you need, you should worry about whether what it provides is actually what you need or not.

Angular does a lot more things than React does. Logically that means it's less likely to be a perfect fit for your project. You're more likely to find out that it does something in a way that doesn't work for you, simply because there are more things it does. But it may also do enough things in just the way you need them to be done to be worth the few places where it doesn't fit your project perfectly.

It's always a compromise. Unless you have unlimited time and can develop the perfect tools yourself, you're going to have to make a few sacrifices along the way.

>But if you come from a poor family, then sports is one of the ways to get out of poverty, because even if you can't go pro, there's still the chance of college athlete funding or becoming a coach for a school.

This is true. In India for example engineering and medicine are the ways to get out of poverty. Hence there is an over representation.
Rust's solution is to provide the hash function as a generic parameter so you can just Fnv/Xx/Sip based on your workload, with Sip as the default if you don't pick. Unfortunately this is mostly incompatible with the adaptive scheme you suggest, because you definitely don't want the adaptive logic if you've already picked Xx/Fnv. Making it possible to disable all that if you pick something other than Sip would make things quite complicated.

But yeah, data structuring is ultimately really work-load specific. Any solution a language provides will always be suboptimal for tons of use cases. The solution you describe sounds good for a "never think about it" solution that works for 85% of cases. Rust's solution kinda necessitates more thinking more often, but I think it makes it more applicable for more usecases if you're willing to do that little bit of thinking.
Surprising to see so much human input. Essentially google took a leaf out of Yahoo!'s playbook after first crushing them using just algorithms.

This might be the misquoted source for the claim you're refuting: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/24/opinion/nicholas-kristof-i...

That article is discussing wealth (net worth) versus the article you cited which discusses income. No surprise that the lines between rich and poor differ when you measure it different ways.

I found that via: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_Uni...

One question: aside from arguing the specific numbers, it is irrefutably true that a small minority hold the majority of the money, and it is widely reported that the gap is currently growing, not shrinking. Is this a good thing? Do the specific numbers change the outcome or what our course of action should be? Even that Vanity Fair article concludes the situation is bad.

No I don't. It is just an observation. Now in for e.g. India there are a lot of people going into engineering or medicine as a way out of poverty. So you are right but now it is the profession through which to get out of poverty and there will be a lot of people from poor and troubled families in it.
Steve Jobs was raised by parents wealthy enough to send him to Reed College. His biological parents were grad students who (I believe) later became professors (or at least his father did). None of those people were working McDonald's jobs with no prospects for anything better.

Barack Obama? You're citing Barack OBAMA? That would be the same Barack Obama who was raised by his banker grandparents, sent to a fancy private school (current tuition: $22,000/year), then through Columbia and Harvard?

Yep. McDonald's all the way, there, dude.

In any case, citing people who overcame poverty does not refute the overall point. In fact, the only reason we tell stories about these people is because they are rare exceptions. I mean, Stevie Wonder is a great musician who happens to be blind. That doesn't mean we should intentionally make more people blind in the hope of producing more Stevie Wonders. Neither should we encourage people living in poverty to have children that they cannot afford.

If it doesn't provide all you need then it's easy to involve other non-React code to make it all work. That's what's so great about it being a library - you're free to implement whatever pattern you'd like around it. For me, that's Flux/Redux (I use actions to call to well defined services) but it really doesn't matter.

I think there's a list somewhere of patterns that are difficult / non-ideal for React but I don't have it in front of me. For 99% of use cases React really isn't going to be a detrimental choice as long as you choose a good pattern to surround it with.
They didn't worship science as such, but they could to some extent be said to worship numbers and mathematics, since it represented the ideal and hence the divine.

Ember has a solution for server-rendered HTML, called 'Fast Boot'. It can be used both for speedup (quite obvious, given the name) and for e.g. SEO-purposes (though I think Google is pretty good at crawling JS these days).

This is going to sound impolite, but I can't think of another way to put it: you've been had, you've fallen for the big con at work here, when you say you despise retirement programs and pensions.

I'm young-ish, I have no pension, I work for myself, and I'm definitely not well-off by any stretch. I have no horse in the pension game, except that I'm largely in the same boat as you (I'm guessing).

The difference is, I look at the people with pensions and I don't think, "oh those pension-holding fat cats". I look at them and think, what happened to the rest of us?

Why is it only the people whose decent standard of living was locked in by law or extensive contracts, why are they the only ones who definitely get to retire now?

There is a big con going on here, but it's not those folks with pensions, it's that the rest of us are now reduced to fighting over scraps.

My money says that sometime in the next 20 years, voters ask themselves "If I am paying in taxes as much as I think reasonable, and a huge chunk of that is going for promises made by people long out of office, I am being taxed, but where is my representation? Who can I elect, what can I do as a voter to ensure that funds go towards things I feel are in the best interests of society"

Not sure this is a liberal/conservative thing, although I'm sure it will be framed as such. At the end of the day, it is possible that the overall debt situation forces voters to either walk away from the debt -- or walk away from representative democracy. The two may not work together.

Of course, like everyone else I'm wrong about most every sort of prediction, but I note that Jefferson, observing revolutionary France, was quite concerned that inter-generational debt was quite capable of strangling any sort of revolutionary activity or peaceful refactoring of the way government works. I doubt his observations are any less accurate now than when he made them.
