Ethical supply chains will become a badge of honor in the future for the upper class who can afford it... but the masses consuming the majority of the products driving the price down to slave-labor proportions will require a cultural change.

There is something deep in human nature that sees something it wants and narrows our thoughts to just getting that item. Maybe its a holdover from our Hunter/Gatherer instincts. But we seem to be using it to hack our minds to ignore the damage we do to our fellow humans in the process of acquiring.

We may need to aspouse minimalist ideology at a mass scale (something I see in fellow Gen Yers.)

As the second part of my comment pointed out, I see this being used to also outlaw parties becoming too overtly anti-EU (which in case you didnt notice, is conveniently conflated with "populist right wing parties" a la UKIP, FN usw).

As the economic and social situation deteriorates, I see anti-EU sentiment becoming waaaaaaaaay more prevalent than it has been during the 70 years post WW2 period you're on about.

And to whom would you lay the blame of creating the atmosphere of entitlement? Is it a construct that Millenials decided to work up through their Elementary, Junior, and High School educations? It doesn't seem rational to point out 'entitlement' without context as to where such a trend came from. Would you agree the Baby Boomer "Me Generation" set up the stage for what we're seeing today?

I was wondering about the kiosk itself.
It's hard to see from the outside how much innovation is stifled
due to regulators - but from my position it is a substantial
amount. Part of the basic problem is that the very large and very
successful companies have captured their regulators and have much
more freedom to innovate when they are interested. But they are
usually not interested in innovating because that are already big
and successful.

This is in contrast to the growing startup which is under the
regulator microscope.

The UK has the idea of a "Challenger Bank" for starups in the
banking industry. The US should have a similar program.

to nitpick, I believe those used in Linear A are not technically "runes", i.e. the runes are only the ones used in writing systems for german languages, and derived from old italic alphabets.
The same can be said for Apple, Metal, and iOS. I'm also certain most companies use a tool like Unity which does that double duty for them.
This is an excellent book written by Michael Nielsen. I had tried to learn neural nets earlier, but either found the descriptions too simplistic to come up with a clear understanding, or too complicated. IMHO, in this book, the right learning curve exists, and dare I say, trains up our biological neurons at the optimal learning rate :)
She's right about squaring on each iteration, though. And granted, a square root is much more expensive, though done only once. Which method is faster would depend on the number of iterations.
WebGL?
CocoaPods (and Homebrew) mainly exist because of a lack of tooling in the typical Apple ecosystem. So I would blame Apple for not supporting the community with money or tooling. Letting GitHub with its limited amount of funding pay the bill isn't a nice move. Apple dev relations should throw some money at GitHub so they can provide some dedicated resources or offer to pay the cost of other solutions (like a 3rd party CDN/AWS/Google Cloud/…).
I am trying to understand how this reflect reality. If milliseconds gives us HFT wouldn't minutes get rid of the advantage of doing HFT? I.e. the reality is determined by it being milliseconds, seconds, minutes etc. So we can control which reality we want.

As far as I understand HFT, it's not that it's better at predicting the market but rather it's better at taking advantage of micro volatility?

Or am I completely wrong?
The difference is that a slave is the legal property of the owner to do as he or she pleases (including destruction of said property, if they deem it necessary). That's a pretty critical difference.

Things can still be characterized as being pretty messed up without resorting to misrepresentation.

I'm not sure that this would slow down HFT, but it might cut costs for consumers. It would definitely be a good idea to have different tick sizes for different products as it's odd that the most liquid products and the least liquid products might both have a 0.5bps tick size in the US.

If you do reduce the tick size you'll need to make some changes to internalization to reduce the toxicity of lit venues.
The fact that Github added an API specifically to reduce the server load from Homebrew suggests that it wasn't "just fine". One of the Homebrew maintainers works for GH so they just had a much more direct route to solving the problem than with CocoaPods.
Isn't this the classic company store scam?
Au contraire, there are infinitely many bases in which "10" is prime.

However, "100" is an example of a digit string which is not prime in any base. Another is "1001" (it's always divisible by "11").
I forked acme-tiny the other day and replaced http-01 with dns-01. The dns-01 implementation is pretty simple and crude for now, I'll probably add dynamic dns update support at some point. All it does is print the records out and wait for you to add them manually.

Social Antibodies regarding cell phone use is far more prevalent in Western (US) than in (most of) Asia for example. It is perfectly normal at all levels in business to take a phone call including movie theaters just to inform the caller that the recipient is in a movie theatre.

Japan on the other end has a culture of absolute mobile silence in the subway for example.
Yet even if you do all that you'll still have more debt, higher rent and more expensive home prices. Even those who work their ass off with lower expectations are going to end up less well off than they would have in a previous generation. That "little temporary discomfort" is significantly less temporary than it used to be.
But who set the stage for the Baby Boomers? Do we blame the previous generation for that?

At some point, you need to take responsibility for your own actions. Even if the situation that you're in isn't your fault, it IS up to you what you do to get out of it.

> Ethical supply chains will become a badge of honor in the future for the upper class who can afford it

The same society whose middle and lower classes are demanding ever lower prices at the cost of inhumane treatment of workers is the same society which produces the upper class you hold that hope for. I think you must be living in a different world than I am, because the upper class I'm familiar with is just as happy as everyone else to have their goods produced by the not-quite-but-almost-slave labor described in the article.

I agree that this will require a cultural change, but at all levels. The upper class isn't going to jump on that any sooner than the rest of us without a major shift.
Agreed. Apple isn't any better in this aspect.

> I'm also certain most companies use a tool like Unity which does that double duty for them.

That doesn't justify the lock-in tactics of MS, Apple and the like. If that burden shifts to engine developers, it's still a burden and effort that could be spent on something more useful like improving actual features of the engine. In the end, it's simply a tax that everybody will be paying.
A while ago I did some reading about lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies that promoted unapproved uses of their drugs. There is a very good book about epo. According to that reading the main reason is they get small fines is that the government doesn't have the budget to go after big companies. They simply can't afford it and take what they can get.
The vertical gap issue has always been weird to me, but I don't understand the issue with going to the bathroom in general.

It's something that we all do. I would better understand it if only half the population were afflicted with this strange curse called the poops, while the rest of us had digestive systems that could convert all waste into urine. That's not how it is though.

Everybody poops. Within the next 48 hours, it is pretty much guaranteed that all of your coworkers (from the sheepish new hire to the disgruntled 15 year veteran) will release something foul from their back end. Males, females and everything in between included. Most of them will probably stink something awful.

Everybody poops. Let's end this strange taboo.
Could it have been popularized by golang's use of "rune" as a synonym of Unicode codepoint (which is inherited from Plan 9)?

Probably homebrew, which is also heavily based on github, although not to the same extent as CocoaPods apparently is. It's mentioned further downthread.

The main difference is that homebrew actually updates the git tree to provide updated versions of package specs. CocoaPods adds a new directory and some files for each package version, causing the repo to balloon.

Don't get me wrong, I love purely writing software but as a career it's seen as low status work.

Given the choice between 10 years of work that isn't all that interesting followed by the rest of my life doing whatever I want and 40 years of low status work I do find interesting and then the rest of my life doing whatever I want I know which option I'd choose, and I can see why some others would choose differently.
Because Github allows pull requests to be reviewed prior to merging, what protects the developer from someone just using their work without paying? It seems that the platform pushes all the financial risk on the developer.

I'd add to this that millennials are getting married later than any previous generation, and marriage allows one to share resources with a partner and therefore reduce expenses.
Other than my Dad giving me the strong advice from personal experience that "Making a living as a musician is not a pleasant or steady lifestyle choice" the one thing I've been glad to have heard long ago was "You'll probably never have the same standard of living as we've had in this home."

Little did he know that a few years after that, and once I was on my own two feet, his employer of 30+ years would dump his pension on the US taxpayers and gut his benefits. Even he wasn't able to achieve the retirement peace of mind he worked for all those years. In hindisight, his statement plus what I witnessed happen doesn't make me feel like I'm missing out an 'entitlement' but rather a general suspiciousness the working world is rigged.

I'm always reading articles about how we need more 'programming' classes in high schools. I think what we really need is more education centered around encryption. We can't expect to have intelligent discussions on the importance of internet privacy if the general public can't understand what's at stake.
One-liners are fine if you know you'll never need to extend the logic later on. Problem is, how often does that stay true?

For instance your 'titleize' method, in order to properly title case any string, ought to support a second option of words to ignore, such as "a, an, the, ...". If you wrote it as a one-liner at first, then you've got to go into your mapper and add conditionals if an ignore list is passed, and you've got more work than if you left it as a more expanded piece of logic.

Again, this is somewhat of a trivial example, but building on the original post's point of "how easily can I understand this later on" can also include "how easily can I extend this later on". Avoiding one-liner cleverness can help as a general principle.

The OP's argument was ridiculous enough that we don't need to start pointing the finger at who is to blame for what. Inter-generational flame wars between millenials/boomers/etc are likely to just waste a lot of people's time without contributing a great deal of insight.

This is true, but consider the number of births attributable to refugees and other recent immigrants, and consider what kind of cohorts are coming in, and where - the entire EU isn't receiving an even distribution of immigrants.

Mohammed is the most popular baby name in London. The young-adult-male cohort in Germany will soon be dominated by peoples of Middle Eastern origin - most Germans are old, and immigrants are largely young and male. In countries like Sweden, fully 20% of the population is foreign-born or born to foreign-born parents. Cultural change is definitely coming to the EU one way or another. For hundreds of years, until around the 60s, most European countries allowed virtually no non-European immigration. Given the birthrates of native Europeans, we're talking about total demographic replacement in a few generations in many countries. I find it hard to believe that's not going to cause some instability in the short to medium term.
> I don't see how the conclusion would be anything else, with merely a moment's thought.

You'd be surprised how many people, even with all the actual data on the subject, refuse to accept that millenials are 'worse off', citing technology advances or whatever.

That being said, we are just returning to the 'normal' state of things. The reduction in inequality after WWII and subsequent economic boom was the exception in human economic history, we're simply reverting to the mean. Thomas Piketty and others point out that inequality is increasing and while that's true, we've been there before.

Since there's not a whole lot more to say, here's a great Piketty related article by Robert Solow (Nobel winning economist, known for the Solow model of economic growth): https://newrepublic.com/article/117429/capital-twenty-first-...

So you do agree there's context that is important? To answer your question, yes, absolutely look through history for understanding how "The Greatest Generation" could breed the "Me Generation" and now here we are.

To put it another way, the US political and economic system is a giant game of Jenga, and by the time Millenials have showed up, the tower is rife with holes, wobbly, and on the brink of failure - these weren't the actions of the Millenials, but yet claims like yours seem to pass the buck in a blase fashion.

CMSs are dying and static sites are replacing them - there's absolutely no reason to run a complex backend when the entire site is supposed to hold some text and maybe a space for comments.

Things like Jekyll or Hexo are straightforward and easy to work with, but because static sites are really just tools to transform markdown into HTML, something like Metalsmith could probably even handle online shops.

Better described as Bulletbroof buttery strange drink that bears little resemblance to coffee.
Obviously this could go either full dystopia, full utopia, or somewhere in between. I personally believe that "in between" is an unstable equilibrium and that a fall in one of the directions is inevitable.

But there's a reason we use the word "singularity" to describe that kind of future- it really is impossible to envision with any greater accuracy or confidence than elizabethans could imagine the world of 2016.
