Yes they are horrible and yes they are exploiting people. It's not a service, they are exploiting the capped supply of a basic need.

The argument about "if nobody rents out" is just wrong. Are they going to knock the place down if they don't rent? Yes there is a need for rentals but this should be within a world where we have land value tax so the bulk of the gain is passed onto the state to reduce labour taxes, reduce land costs and improve living standards.

These guys are adding nothing, they are taking labour.

The cost of a home is not the cost of the bricks it's the cost of the land in the main areas with employment prospects.

The USA was originally a land of opportunity. Why? Because you could get hold of land cheap. You were no longer constrained to near-serfdom by total land enclosure in Europe. Now here we are back to square one with the rentiers creaming off labour and books on how to join them.
CBOR – Concise Binary Object Representation
The kernel receives the trap because the address is either invalid or has the wrong permissions. The exact details of how this could happen are architecture-dependent, and indeed, the UNIX use of the phrase "Segmentation fault" instead of "Page fault" is a holdover from platforms which used segmentation instead of paging. (Windows 9x's "This program has performed an illegal operation" dialog box gave it the much more accurate name of an "invalid page fault"; I think current Windows goes with "access violation".)

The CPU doesn't really know about processes. (Some CPUs have features to manage "tasks", but they are not commonly used 1-to-1 with actual processes, largely for efficiency/performance reasons as I understand it.) The OS tells the CPU that any time it hits a page fault, it should start running code at this address with kernel privilege; this configuration itself also requires kernel privilege. Then it drops privileges and jumps to user code. When the user code makes an invalid memory access, the CPU follows the previous configuration about what to do in the case of an error. That runs a kernel function that delivers the signal (which is an entirely UNIX-specific concept).

Even under "homo economicus" rules, that's not true, because the marginal utility gain for that one person will be much less than the 999,999 people. Without diminishing utility gains, you have nothing like economics. I don't mean that rhetorically; none of the math works if the billionth dollar is exactly as valuable to a person as the first one, or the billionth orange is exactly as valuable to a person as the first one. There is no economics if what you say is true.

There's a kernel of truth there, but you have to open the gap much wider, many orders of magnitude wider, to the point it becomes more a philosophy question than one of economics, because the amount of money you'd actually have to give to one person to equal 999,999 very poor people getting $1,000 exceeds the amount of wealth in the world comfortably. (I don't even have to run the math; the exponential decay of utility makes this a done deal.)

I agree that it is a common error to mistake economics as being "about" money, one I think even at times PhDs in economics make, but it isn't about money. Money is merely one slightly special and easy-to-measure token in an economy, but it isn't really what economics is about.
It's circular because it's a circular pattern that reinforces itself. If schools had a large amount of resources or didn't need to scale efficiently they wouldn't need the structure and if they didn't need the structure children (and staff) wouldn't become dependent on it.

That said there certainly are people that need structure to learn (particularly what they don't want to learn). There are several disorders or disabilities that would make unstructured learning incredibly difficult or impossible.
They didn't magic it out of thin air. It's a liability to them. If the loan is paid into another bank they then have to transfer central bank deposits to that other bank. If the loan is never paid back then they've lost money.

Is it genuinely not obvious to you than bank deposits aren't something that banks can create and destroy on a whim?
agree.

essentially it's not the job of market players to create fairness[1]. it's the job of the society around it - may it be local or global

Raymond Scott is probably more well known, particularly because of having been sampled by Dilla. Oram and certainly also Delia Derbyshire deserve all their due... I can't imagine how exciting it must have been to be creating these sounds that no one had heard before.

The BBC Radiophonic Workshop is more influential than they're ever given credit for, even now that the story is somewhat well known. And they were at the time too... If you're looking for 'pop' musicians who were influenced by those experiments in early electronics, check An Electric Storm by White Noise (band that featured Delia and Brian from BBC RWS), as well as United States of America's self-titled 1968 record. Both radical and timeless.

"All of the media articles on the Alrawi app showed screenshots of a different app entirely, one that is a glorified RSS reader with a totally different name."

There was an article on the front page of HN recently about this "glorified RSS reader." This article actually described that functionality, and made no mention of any encrypted messaging. Despite that, it was submitted with a title that indicated it was an encrypted messaging app, and the comments were full of discussions about encrypted messaging and the eternal conflict between privacy and anti-terrorism efforts.

It really confused me. I guess this is an app that people really want to exist.

Context matters.
Designers often describe the terms convention and intuition as contributing to good user experience. Convention is the "institutional knowledge" described in the article. Intuition is how easy something is to use without prior experience or convention. For instance, a car steering wheel is not intuitive but is rather conventional. If you make a car without a steering wheel, it may be better, but it won't be as popular.

Regardless, I don't think the article accurately represents other forces in adoption and popularity outside of convention and intuition. There are many things such as chance, social trends, commercial backing, et al.

If you follow a 'get started with redux' thing and end up with a root reducer that uses combineReducers: You're talking about the outermost 'state' object? Because any reducer that you write can certainly accept/understand/return immutables, right?

If I picked that up correctly: Is that a problem for a single combineReducers at the root? Because if all the properties of that thing are immutable, wouldn't you get the cheap identity based comparison benefits whenever you pass on props.foo in your store-aware component?
SourceForge could have been a wonderfull thing, especially when it comes to serving binaries from OSS. They destroyed their reputation with them bundling software will malware or hijacking projects... They could have opened their infrastructure to commercial orgs for instance, to build then deliver software ... No, they had to go the cheapest route and violate their core user's trust.

Patents are probably the most powerful tool for entrenched players here. Adobe patented several GUI conventions including their most common shortcut key commands in Photoshop, so that competitors would always have a slight learning curve for new users.

Occasionally more aggressive companies will come after a cloned product with a lawsuit, for instance Facebook sued a number of early competitors for various intellectual property and trademark reasons. Doesn't hold up in court publicly but I imagine there have been a lot of backroom settlements made this way over the years.
It's more accurate to say that the cost of shipping something across an ocean dropped so low because of containerisation that virtually any disparity in the cost of input factors (not just labour - energy, land, etc as well) is worth exploiting via geographical arbitrage.

Even without unions, the cost of living disparity is such that in many cases if American firms matched the wages of even relatively well paid Chinese workers they simply couldn't survive on them in the US.
jonestetc already explained the gist of it - combineReducers expects vanilla javascript objects, not Immutable ones; you can find an example Immutable-compatible implementation here: https://github.com/gajus/redux-immutable

In general, when you are working on a problem and you think "let me use a regex for that" and then you come up with

^\s*[^\s()}]+(?<m>[^()]*\((?:\g<m>|[^()]*)\)[^()]*)*[^()]*\)[,]?$

to solve your problem, then you have IMHO come across a problem which you should not be solving using regular expressions.

Case in point is counting and balancing parentheses which is very easily done using a single loop over the string in question.

Exactly. Someone has to be keeping this inane drivel alive.
A few things to keep in mind:

1. Although GS had passed on investing in L&H, that decision would have been completely unknown to the investment bankers working on the deal for Dragon -- by design. The "Chinese Wall" between the investment banking, securities, and asset management divisions of large financial institutions severely limits the communication between and among these parts of the firm.

2. Investment bankers are not accountants or lawyers. This is stated on the cover page of every investment banking presentation and at the bottom of every email that leaves the network. Telling the Bakers to hire accountants to do accounting diligence was not an abdication of responsibility; it was sound advice, not to mention GS's legal responsibility per numerous SEC regulations.

3. Apart from what may have been discovered during an unrushed diligence process conducted by accountants, there were rampant rumors at the time of the deal that L&H faced cashflow issues.

4. This is the big one: the Bakers got impatient with GS taking what they felt was too long to look at the deal, and decided to meet with L&H on their own in order to get things moving faster. At a meeting not attended by the investment bank they hired to maximize the value received by shareholders in a sale they agreed to take all-stock consideration instead of 50/50 cash/stock. Let that one sink in for a bit.

5. The main reason that the Bakers lost the case against Goldman is that they previously, and successfully, sued L&H and its bankers/accountants alleging that they fraudulently covered up problems to an extent that said problems could not have been reasonably uncovered during a thorough diligence process. Goldman's lawyers used this previous sworn testimony to withering effect in cross-examining the Bakers.

Disclaimer: I'm a former GS investment banker. I wasn't there in the late 90's and I'm not there now.

My own personal take on this is that, when M&A markets are frothy, banking teams get younger and less experienced because a relatively fixed-quantity resource (licensed investment bankers at a given firm) are being spread thinner and thinner against an increasing number of deals. Keep that in mind and proceed with caution if you have to sell your company under such conditions.

In terms of what GS could have done better: I think one of the big issues here was that Gene Sykes, who is a genuinely brilliant guy with excellent bedside manner, was MIA on the deal even though he was nominally in charge of the team. My guess is that if Gene were doing weekly update calls with the Bakers, they would not have done colossally stupid shit like try to hijack the process themselves. I think they were likely getting the right advice from the younger bankers on the team -- don't rush this, we need to do this right, let us have these conversations for you, etc -- but that advice does not carry the same weight coming from a 27-year-old associate compared to when it comes from one of the most accomplished dealmakers of his generation.

Also: cash is king. Be very wary of all-stock deals.

Those last two sentences are textbook non-sequitur, and use a depressing collection of rhetorical tricks to make a point that's entirely fact-free.

Money is a good way to avoid abject poverty, but it doesn't give poor people freedom, because poverty for most is a matter of education and socialisation. Basic income can pay your bills and put a roof over your head, but it won't create opportunity.

Nor will free markets. Left to its own unregulated devices, no form of social organisation is quite so good at destroying economic freedom for most of the population as a laissez-faire zero-regulation regime.

Most of the civilised world has affordable health care precisely because it offers financial freedoms that market-based "solutions" reliably try to destroy. The cost of health insurance in the US is literally crippling. It's a prime driver of personal bankruptcy, it makes would-be entrepreneurs think more than twice about setting up - and none of this is an issue in countries where public health care is available.

Likewise with student loans. Who has more freedom - a student with $100k of debt, or a student with no debt?

Who benefits from a generation of students with huge debt burdens? It's certainly not the students.

The real road to prosperity and economic freedom is a regulated market in a broadly prosperous economy with minimal cost of entry for entrepreneurs. That means easy and cheap access to investment funding, plenty of high quality blue sky government-funded seed R&D, a strong culture of academic research and independence, serious investment in public infrastructure, a broad variety of independent media, free unrationed access to world class educational resources, and seed level support for entrepreneurs and business creators from all social backgrounds.

It doesn't mean the "freedom" that makes the proverbial 1% extremely rich while everyone else's economic and personal freedoms are diminished.
6 Hacks to STOP Self Sabotaging Your Business
I'm not sure this applies over all of the EU – certainly in the UK it's not true. (I learned this the hard way. Note to anyone working in the UK: in practice there's a minimum probationary period of two full years, regardless of what your contract says.)

Anyway I'm not sure this scenario is any better than the US scenario of little to no employee protection. Sure, it means you're not flat and your back from day one, but the cost firing anyone is substantial, making it very difficult particularly for small business to hire simply because the risk is too great. I'd be keen to learn if there are other ways to reduce that risk than simply making it easier to fire people indiscriminately.

I think the same effects will be seen when automation really starts hitting. Net gains will go to a few while many people will end up unemployed, with the overall effect on society being potentially negative due to higher unemployment.

That's why initiatives like basic salary, pioneered now in Finland and also seemingly by Y Combinator - are so important.

Also I think huge opportunities are missed by not focusing on retraining people to industries where they can add value.

Freely available high quality education/(re)training across all age groups will pay itself back many times over.

Your assuming only a single factor was involved. Pollution and corruption mean harm can be widespread while benefits are concentrated. Air pollution for example is killing ~1.6 million people per year in China, the dead are hardly better off.

PS: Wages are only one factor among many.
Well, it's clear to see why people are lead astray. In this case, RFC 3986, which defines what a URI actually is, itself actually proposes a regex[0]. It even claims, and I quote, 'the "first-match-wins" algorithm is identical to the "greedy" disambiguation method used by POSIX regular expressions'. Of course, it doesn't actually validate anything... it just performs rudimentary field extraction. Trying to do anything beyond that with regex is madness.

The ABNF grammar is fairly simple though and, I think, free of ambiguities. I've had luck converting it straight in to PEG form. It's not a trivial or wholly useful endeavour though, and, if you do so, remember to check the errata. For HTTP you'll also have to add in the changes from RFC 7230[1].

Oh, and of course, none of this validates DNS names, their labels, etc. for length, the "LDH rule", or the public suffix list[2], or IP addresses to check whether they have publicly routable prefixes.

Bottom line is, if you want to validate a URL, the best thing to do, much like e-mail, is to just try and GET it.

Cost of living differences are real but almost always overstated. It isn't as though a family in China can live the same lifestyle as a middle class American on $5k/year because everything there is so much cheaper. The average Chinese worker is very poor by US standards, even after taking into account cost of living differences. In fact, if you swapped a family with a cash income of $5k/year from China to the US, in many way they'd be better off as they'd have access to more and better socially provisioned goods and services.

When you make this sort of argument you are implicitly saying "Chinese people don't mind being poor as much as Americans do" even if that's not what you meant to say.
