I had the same reaction as morley and was hoping someone would give a better tldr of the site. I think your comment is much worse, it adds nothing to the current topic, except the part where you say "Yes, this [is] ...". And it derails the thread into a boring meta topic.
I also have zero interest and would also be alarmed to have a bunch of transmitters and protocols and services running, possibly invisibly, in my home.

However, I am not particularly worried and that is because there will always be industrial/commercial models. I know this because it is the case with flat panel displays.

We are certainly well over the transition to "smart" TVs and all of their accompanying features - you probably can't buy a single display at Best Buy that isn't "smart". However, you can also buy an extremely well built, completely dumb "signage display" (like those thin-bezel NEC models you see airports use for departure/arrival boards, or what video walls are made of).

They aren't even much more expensive, since the buyers (airports and shopping malls) need economies of scale when they are buying 200 of them at a time. They last longer, are more rugged ... and are completely dumb.

The same is true with commercial refrigerators and ranges, etc. - pro cooks in a kitchen can't be dealing with the wifi or the facebook integration.

I am very optimistic that this will always be the case and that "dumb" models will be available to smart people for a small premium.

It's also easy to predict that lack of smart features (and screens and lights and boopity-beeps) will be a subtle class distinction. When everyone in the trailer park has a flat panel on their refrigerator, you'll see them disappear from the highest end models.
If he wants to use a different app he should do that.
I don't	think density is expensive, on the contrary, density is	cheap due to economies
of scale.

I think one reason might be food	production and transport.	Before
the invention of refrigeration, fertiliser, mass transport, humans had
to live rather close to food production, which stands in the way of
density.

Another	reason might have been that really dense living	required the
ability to build high-rise houses, with concomitant requirements for
being able to pump water high up, have elevators and so on.

Reliable sewage	systems and provision of fresh water was	another
problem.

Some of the above became widely available only at the end of the 19th,
beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the automobile encouraged
sub-urbanisation.

It may be only know that small, yet very dense cities are possible.
Unfortunately most tech in that space seems to be proprietary but here are some companies we have found doing cool stuff in the space.

I was actually surprised when i started, because it starts with describing flux and how it works (and compares it to a more traditional MVC arch). Then it just slowly removes pieces until you get to a redux system.
You can come around to the espoused best practices organically.

As I said before, it's reasonable that some people are not going to like these particular best practices, and that in some instances it's going to get in the way.

As a concrete example, I just put up a form that is basically just a SSR datatables.net table and a save button. Adding react into the mix is literally unnecessary, and just adds boilerplate/extra code for no gain. In other words, it gets in the way. So I chose not to use it.
China Is Building the Largest Waste-To-Energy Plant in the World

It's interesting to tie this to Scalia's death, as Gassée mentions in the article.

The Supreme Court will stay in its new state for a while at least, and we may see more cases like this pushed hard during the interim wherever he was a key holder of a viewpoint.

On GovtOS I can imagine the next request after this software would be a version only for senior US officials that can't be broken by the GovtOS tool. I would find that a very frustrating and annoying request if I were designing software at Apple or Google.

Some of it is a B2B vs B2C difference. A lot of the big apps we think of like Facebook and Google started as B2C.. where viral marking and word of mouth is what you need.

If your startup is some enterprise product that cost $1000 a month.. or a small business app that cost $100 a month.. you are unlikely to get word of mouth users, and need to actually go down the sales route in one way or another.
Correct, was instructed to put it here by others.

Hi,

We're looking to build a smarter marketing automation platform for small businesses and startups.
We would love your feedback and comments on our landing page.

Thanks in advance.
I agree, and since our DARPA stuff did really well the content guys have been working on getting more tech and robotics stuff.

We're currently brainstorming ways to have more effective feedback from users about the content. It's definitely in need of improvement.

And yes I am! I still try to poke the content guys every once in awhile to try to get involved somehow. All of us on the dev team and tech team have been following FPV racing religiously.
Yes, the article describes how certain "viruses" have learned how to beat the current immune system. That just means the immune system needs to evolve to address the new threats.

In nature, immune systems evolve based on natural selection. We need to keep trying new things and see what works. Maybe "peer review" needs to extend not only to individual papers, but to scientists and institutions themselves. Maybe their reputation needs to be evaluated over time so that a scientist who has been "infected" then has a standing presumption against their work until they can overwhelmingly demonstrate they are "healed."

This idea might be good or might be terrible, but I believe that we should be trying things like this to see if any of them stick and cause more good than harm.
Jobs come with people. The more people, the more interesting the cultural life, the more exchange of ideas.

I think the number one reason of science bullshit (and it's written in the article) is not conflict of interests in the sense of "money from evil big corps" but rather the "publish or die" system in the academic world.

Or you could say the scientist interest is to keep his job, which requires a certain volume of publications, and that conflict with publishing only results that are both sincere and worthwhile.
> If a friendship revolves around being able to do some similar thing together, it's probably not a friendship.

WHAT? I would argue the opposite, if you aren't doing similar things together, why are they your friends? Just grew up together or what?

I agree with your last sentence, I enjoy my friends company even when we are just shootin' the shit. There's no reason that should preclude having hobbies with "real" friends though. It can help to have someone mutually passionate about something.

Agreed. There are some blogs out there claiming that nVidia Pascal will be 10x faster than Maxwell[1]. It's been partially debunked, but there's no doubt that it's going to be a big improvement.

Fast video cards are important enough to VR that if that kind of power is available, it's going to be used. A 970 may be enough now, but I don't think it's going to be enough for long.

On the other hand, React is from the same Facebook which determined that the same technologies which Apple uses to write, build and debug an entire OS aren't powerful enough to write a social media app which runs on that OS.
I'm interested in the question too and, if he's of similar mind to me, that's not what he meant.

I'm curious what it takes to make a piece of software like this. People say "Using NN" and stuff. But if I make an app with a way to load a picture and then add NN to it, this won't come out. I'm wondering what the specific function of the networks are here.
For now, VR is probably a better gaming solution, but X years down the line, when the Hololens can fill your entire field of view, I don't see why it can't provide the same experience.

If it's up to standard, any article is welcome. The trouble is readers and new editors don't know these standards and since they see articles on every common topic, assume that Wikipedia is all-encompassing. Wikipedia relies on the concept of "notability", (whether something warrants an article) which in turn is informed by the presence of "reliable sources" for the purpose of "verifiability". These are the main reasons why Karen can't have a Wikipedia article: there is not enough written about her in published sources to write a verifiable article. You might ask how come it can't all just be based on the Pokemon universe and information in the episodes? That's a valid question. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which needs to include real-world information such as what critics think of something, publication details, themes, etcetera... You can't have that without reliable sources and relying on fiction alone would lead to "original research". (Things in quotes are official Wikipedia policies which you can read by typing the "WP:" prefix and the term in the search box)

As for how the system evolved, it started getting more strict as Wikipedia got more popular and was scrutinized. The Seigenthaler incident[0] in particular led to a restriction on new editors creating articles. No system can grow unchecked in my opinion; it was only natural that as Wikipedia grew more prominent, it became less inclusive.

10 Advanced WebDriver Tips and Tricks Part 3
Where's the branch for "sad because I know react, and have to change half a dozen files with dozens of lines of boilerplate each for each change request"?

I know a few of those - folks who aren't beginners and who loved react to begin with, but are getting slowly disillusioned by the sheer volume of changes required to modify a data source or add a new widget.

Dropping flux or changing bundlers won't change the core of react... nor will writing any number of "helpful criticism" blog posts.
Generally, we've been really happy with our move from Italy to Bend, Oregon, but leaving our friends behind has been one of the most difficult aspects of it. I miss the social interactions with both friends and most people in general, in Italy. "Hi, how are you?" is a genuine question, and not asked if you don't expect an answer.
Well, if you're looking for understanding that's good enough we can program it, then yeah, we don't understand it. Also I think there was a misunderstanding on my part, in that we know quite a bit about human intelligence (that is, g), but not so much about intelligence-in-general. I'd rather clear up any miscommunication before throwing citations at you -- is your disagreement that g is not a well-established thing which maps very well to any tests of general intelligence you can conceive, or that g is a useless predictor, or that intelligence as measured by g is non-hereditary, or that g isn't useful because it's not a specific module of the brain we can simulate in code or hot-swap with that part of a donor's brain?

People may still quibble, but I was under the impression the standard acceptable definition for intelligence (at least among AI folks) is Legg and Hutter's informal "the ability to efficiently achieve goals in a wide range of domains". (Which has been formalized with AIXI.) I'm also aware of several groups in the AI field who believe they can actually construct a mind, in fact that this is the safest way forward, and that hoping it just "emerges" is folly as old as the first neural net proponents...
As more and more things become connected and automated, why would they not want to extend their platform to those devices?

The architecture of the Pi is common enough that is probably serves as a proof-of-concept for commercial vendors who want to build programmable products that would be well-supported by operating systems and device drivers (by piggy-backing on the work done for the Pi).

TL;DR: If React makes you sad: try it without boilerplates, *flux, or ES6.
Also, the engineering mindset is such that we are going to care about the engine. Take a pilot on a scenic helicopter tour, and he's going to be at least a bit interested in your helicopter and how it functions, and have more opinions on that rather than the scenic part. Likewise, show a webpage to a group of engineers and developers... and we're going to have opinions on your site.

We're currently using Mithril and one of the biggest issues was getting started in it. It's adoption is lacking, making finding people who've had similar issues difficult. Solving every problem yourself is much harder than finding an existing answer on SO.

That said, we still use it, but we're considering moving to React in the future, mostly since its learning curve is a lot less steep and we would be able to iterate faster.
Well, science is still human.

One of react's core tenets is unidirectional data flow. Trying to use it in a bidirectional way is... painful. There is also a struggle with state vs props. The quick version is that state is internal to a component and is changeable directly by it, and props are given out by the parent and are not directly changeable.

Generally the way the bidirectional issue is solved is by closing the loop via dispatchers and stores. The child components send out actions to the stores, which then flow down through the parent, back in to the child. Turning what used to be a bidirectional flow to a unidirectional flow (sometimes at the cost of a bit of boilerplate for pre-existing components).

I guess the real question is, what is the use for the parent to be able to see the 'state' (the child components internal state)? The answer to that question (in my limited experience) has often been either 'to trigger an event (ex: save a form)' or 'so the parent can make some other rendering decision'. Both of which I've generally been able to solve via a flux implementation and possibly changing a 'state' into a 'prop' in the child (where the child gets a prop, some action is taken, and instead of changing state internally, an event is dispatched to the store with the new data, and the parent rerenders the child with the new 'prop').

But ultimately, hack it how you need. It's your code after all.
