Wouldn't the gold standard render the entire notion of a "reserve currency" meaningless, too? If you're holding a gold-backed currency then you're effectively just holding gold. Holding a currency as a "reserve currency" probably meant actually holding a bunch of gold in a vault. It hardly matters whose face was on it.

I'd argue that there were social-networking platforms that were better than Facebook years before it came out. LiveJournal, for instance, was one of the few online places where you actually make new friends instead of just collating the ones you already had. I just hung out this Thanksgiving with a couple who I met on LJ over a decade ago; they also met doing LJ support, and at their wedding 7 years ago, about 3/4 of the guests were friends from LiveJournal, many of whom had never met in person before. A lot of the features that Google+ has "innovated" with (Circles/friends-groups, Communities) or that have Facebook has recently added (mood icons, threaded commenting) were things that LJ had a decade ago.

Facebook won because the killer feature that distinguishes a social network is who's on it. They started out at the most high-status house on the most high-status college in the most high-status country, and then spread like wildfire from there. By contrast, LJ was popular with fandom and with Russians, neither of which are groups that ordinary, affluent, socially-connected Americans would much like to hang out with.
To be fair, while I agree that JSON is bad for config, I would argue that JSON's objects and arrays eliminate the need for DTDs and standard query languages altogether in many cases. Of course, with sufficiently lqrge and complex data stores, you'll want a documented structure and method for accessing that data no matter what format you use, but unlike XML, JSON provides structure to get started on a small scale very easily.
Consider this python:

import json
import sys
sys.stdout.write("%s\n" % json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin).get(sys.argv[1], None)))

This will accept JSON on standard input and will return the value of an object with the key name specified by the first command-line argument.

$ echo '{ "value1" : { "sub-value": 5 }, "value2": 99 }' | python json-test.py value1
{"sub-value": 5}
$ echo '{ "value1" : { "sub-value": 5 }, "value2": 99 }' | python json-test.py value2
99

Such a program will look similar in any language with a json library that maps objects and arrays to native data structures. Granted, my simple tool will fail if the JSON isn't an object, but it's a very simple matter to extend it to handle lists and literals. For many applications this is a huge advantage over XML, especially if the point of the JSON isn't configuration but rather inter-application communication (aka data serialization).

With regards to AMD: SystemJS is a polyfill for the ES2015 module loader designed to remain a set of plugins to said module loader should a browser actually start to implement it. The plugins include the ability for the ES2015 module loader to directly load AMD and CommonJS modules, thus none of the legacy AMD is technically lost and you also don't necessarily need something like Browserify/Webpack in a build process or Node-style modules (CommonJS). JSPM is a package manager for SystemJS and for the most part it can be fairly straightforward to move from Bower to JSPM.

With regards to Typescript: I don't think it is a "dead end" and I definitely think you are wrong about the future of it. Typescript has been relatively careful at keeping "an eye to the horizon" and having some idea of the "forward compatibility" of its features. For instance, the module format in Typescript was built before the ES2015 standard finalized, but the final standard was surprisingly close to what Typescript used and nothing necessarily required being rewritten and it was very easy to clean up the old style incrementally if you did feel like being particular about using the final ES2015 syntax. I feel like the same can be said about Typescript's type annotations. They are definitely informed by ES4 ("the lost version", what forked into ActionScript, sort of) and in turn, yes, the Typescript team is certainly influencing the standards to possibly add type annotations to the EcmaScript standards ("this time for real"), or at least a Python 3-like approach where type annotations are safely ignored by browsers when left in the code.

At the very least, if ES standardized type annotations are suitably different from Typescript there will presumably be a Typescript transpiled output to it (just as the old Typescript module imports get output correctly when targeting ES2015), and you can even use that output to bootstrap your conversion to the new syntax (thanks to Typescripts attempt to remain a pure superset of ES).

This change was committed on Jun 14th 2013, about a week after the PRISM programme had been leaked by Edward Snowden. It is a clear reference to the programme but by this point it was already public knowledge.

I wouldn't consider that a good thing. No language is perfect, so if you have no annoyances with a language, you either don't know the language well enough, aren't doing anything interesting enough to run into the annoyances, or lack enough experience in other languages to know what could be better.

But I know you're just being flippant. ;)
Perl6 is absolutely a new language. Perl 5 had so many structural problems it was deemed unlikely they'd be solved. Since then however lots of hard work has been done on every side.

The biggest problem about Python is not the superiority of 2.7, it's the hubris of the Python community to think that 2.7 is actually that great.

I would send any Python programmer on a course of writing Golang and Perl 6 and I would put money on the line they would come out a better programmer. That's what I feel happened to me to some extent.

Fundamentally, it works with every API you can stuff a number into. "Number" includes stuff like hex/rgb values and complex strings, too.

So yeah, it does work with React, however:

1) It will only do CSS value detection (stuff like prefixed values and transform value mapping) if you either give Popmotion a direct reference to the underlying DOM element as if you were using it normally, or manually set a CSS role on Actor init. This only becomes a problem when you're working with completely stateless components, but then it could be argued that stateless components shouldn't be responsible for their own transitions. This is because:

2) No JSX support. I've seen the Velocity React implementation and I'm not convinced this is the best API (if you haven't seen it, check it out: https://github.com/twitter-fabric/velocity-react) I wonder if the drive towards JSX-everything isn't a misstep and that in some situations things that should be `params` are being made into JSX tags.

I don't have a wild amount of experience with React so I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

And thanks for your opinion on the pay structure, I think we're largely in agreement there. Good food for thought.
Over-The-Counter Medicines’ Benefits and Dangers
Insolvent you say? The US owns 45% of all global wealth (per Allianz's global wealth studies, it was ~50% pre great recession, fell to about ~39% in 2010 as the US suffered heavy asset declines, and has rebounded back to around ~45% with the recovery in the US economy, that gap is mostly the arrival of China's wealth). The US is massively solvent in fact. Furthering this point, the US is now growing as fast as China in real terms (given pretty much every credible study indicates China is at least lying about half of their growth); the US is also gaining substantially against most of Europe, as its economy continues to grow faster than Europe even with a stronger dollar. South America and most emerging markets have been thrown into near-depression status, due to the stronger dollar. The US economy is likely to enjoy a very nice 10 or 20 year run in fact.

Russia's economy is now - as of the latest 2015 numbers - 1/12th the size of the US economy. It no longer matters as a global economic power (it still matters as a global commodity player). Its economy is smaller than Canada's now.

China will continue to use greenbacks because they will never have any other choice, the same as they'll continue using Euros. The US is back to being China's biggest trade customer (with the dollar having gained so much value): that trade is mostly done in dollars and that will continue.
There's also #4, using a ready-to-use external cache that can be accessed over RPC/network. Like memcache, or Redis. I'm sure you've thought of it, so can you explain why it didn't work in your scenario? I'm just curious.
> Wouldn't the gold standard render the entire notion of a "reserve currency" meaningless, too?

Yeah, it does. The more I think about it, the less sense that graph makes.

It's not entirely meaningless because there are still benefits to being the reserve currency in a gold-backed world (e.g. cheaper cross-border transactions from not having to do any forex). But the biggest impact of being the reserve currency today is on monetary policy, which only makes sense in the context of fiat money.

I liked CodeSchool: not everything there is great, but is very good overall, has a great structure and can teach you many technologies.
Of course one can have any extension. Not that it's a bad thing to use .p6. I was just trying to make it clear for myself to understand how beneficial the new extension is. Part of that lies in "marketing" the language. Old school engineers may still want to use .pl, whereas newbies will follow the documentation and have their files prefixed with .p6. My worry is that such behavior may lead to a confusion in Open Source world and push away newcomers from using the language.

I've been following the journey for, more or less, the past 10 years. I hope that whoever spent those 15 years on developing Perl 6, will reap the rewards.
Mostly this story is about prosaic immigration. People want to live in houses, and so Texas is building lots of subdivisions for them. Lots of these people are from China, so now some of these subdivisions are largely Chinese. It's nothing more sinister than ordinary immigration.

Are you talking about something like this:

};
say $hash_of_hash->{hash1}{key1};

My Yelp story: I was a pretty active user. I enjoyed writing funny reviews of crappy places. One day I was trying to look something up and got a pop-over to confirm my account info. I clicked through and went on with my day. A few weeks later I received notice that my account was deleted. I contacted them and was informed I was too young to use the site and there was no chance of account recovery (I was a few years over 18 at the time). All of my reviews were gone. Emailed them, no chance of getting those back, though I was welcome to create a new account.

So, they managed to disappear all the reviews I left. They did it on a technicality and it was well within their terms of service. However, I view this as vote manipulation. They're pushing really hard now to say they don't do that. They burned me once though and now I actively avoid the service.
> Wouldn't that just be any culture that has a significantly offset male-female ratio?

A significantly-greater-than-1.0 male-to-female ratio would be a different cause of the same problem; polygyny produces it even without that ratio difference. (Polyandry would seem, in principle, to offset it, but there aren't lots of historical examples of that to study.)

And you have a self perpetuating mess instead of social fabric.

> In a specific cohort lets say age 18-35 - is the only thing that matters for this study "access" to women not how many women a man can married?

No. What seems to matter in the study is whether men have acceptable marriage prospects. (It'd be interesting to see, in that context, whether permitting same-sex marriage reinforces the effect observed and further reduces the same problems. It'd also be interesting to see, as marriage itself becomes less of an expectation, whether the effect is more from men being married -- in which case denormalizing marriage would be expected to reverse the benefits -- or whether the effect is more from men not being alienated by being unable to meet a social expectation of marriage -- in which case denormalizing marriage would be expected to reinforce the benefits.)

> "Qu'est ce que c'est ?"

To be fair in French you rarely say that. You'd say "c'est quoi ça?". I know, it's not the same register but it just shows that people naturally shape their language to its most efficient form.
I imagine the gripe has something to do with either hash/array sigil variance, that you assign to hashes and arrays with lists (as opposed to ref constructors as you've done), or both.

Both are cleared up by really understanding context as it applies in Perl 5, which is probably the single largest difference to other languages that is (sometimes unfortunately) easy to get along without understanding because of the DWIMiness of the language. Or references, but I tend to think most people should be able to understand them without too much trouble.
The US isn't moving away from monogamy (in the sense of this study, as the only formally-recognized form of marriage.)

Its arguably moving toward marriage itself being less of an expectation, but its not clear how that relates to the study.
The hedge fund Bridgewater Associates has a very similar philosophy (some would say a cult[1]); they call it "radical transparency". It's a major component of Ray Dalio's "Principles", which is a 123 page manuscript[2] that prospective candidates and new joiners are advised to read and absorb.

Not that Bridgewater should be the ultimate test case for this way of operating but it's a notoriously unforgiving place to work. The turnover rate there is 25% in the first 18 months[3].

It seems you just have to have really thick skin (or be really jaded) to be able to handle "radical candor" or "radical transparency". Furthermore, it's evidently really tricky to avoid devolving into pure invective. (I guess, in terms of Kim's graph, it's hard to stay high enough on the Y axis as you drift to the right on the X axis.)

> I also struggle with domestic re-distribution through "citizen income", because it makes life worst for all that pay taxes and those that are not "citizen" (foreigners, immigrants, etc.).

It has very little real effect on middle income taxpayers who both pay for and receive it, because in the middle range the benefit cancels the tax.

And the consequence for immigrants is hugely advantageous to nearly everyone. The problem we have today is that we have a large number of undocumented immigrants, which consume the capacity we have to absorb immigrants and therefore reduce the number of documented immigrants we can reasonably accept.

Something that makes it economically infeasible to be an undocumented immigrant would allow us to accept that many more documented immigrants through official channels and give them the basic income, thereby allowing much the same people to immigrate, modulo the few criminals who can't pass the background check and we don't want anyway. And then they're above board and don't have to live in the shadows, which is clearly much better for them. But meanwhile it allows us to affirmatively choose how much immigration we want instead of having people who break the law choose for us.

There are several good reasons to call it Coq:

- The person who implemented the first version (?) is called Coquand.

- The french have a tradition of naming their software projects after animals.

- Coq is french for Rooster.

But to be honest, there is a rather persistent tale that Thierry Coquand's advisor, Gérard Huet, did it on purpose to offend his American colleagues who were too "politically correct" for his tastes.

The answer is because the automation still costs money, and that, even if creating clothing was completely automated, the materials would still cost money, and as such, they'd still charge for the clothes. And unless you've got a job (or basic income, but I don't believe that's ever going to happen), you're not going to be able to pay for the clothes, no matter how cheap they are. Same with food. Even more so for housing.
