The word "democracy" has, surprisingly, shifted slightly in meaning over the last 2500 years or so. The most unfortunate part of this is a small but annoying cadre of "America is not a democracy, it's a republic" pedants.
While I agree with you regarding the methodology, I think there is still some significant support for the overall premise. The thing that may be surprising and even rejected by many though is that my sense based on deep and broad insight is that the underpinning social attitudes are overshooting a correction triggered, really, by a negligence that had been allowed to permeate the west for a couple decades now.

"Democracy" is being eroded and undermined by the naive well intentioned types that wear their bleeding heart on their sleeves; the threat is really not even the "far right" or the "fascists". The real risk is the unseen, unrealized one that stares back at us when we look into the mirror. It is never the obvious risk that gets you. What is really eating its way through the "west" is a good example of unintended consequences and cascading failures that are permeating through society, politics, and government with elan.

The problem is, essentially nobody credible on China believes they're actually growing at 7%.

Their imports and exports have declined dramatically as of late. Their manufacturing sector is contracting, with millions of people set to be fired across several major industries such as steel and coal. Their services sector is barely expanding. Capital outflows are of epic scale. Their stock market has crashed by ~50% and is lower than it was five years ago.

7% is basically impossible given that data, and those are government figures. Where is that vast growth supposedly coming from while most of the economy is contracting?

Going by China's history on economic data (a statement which is not excusing any other nation on bad data accuracy), the real data is likely even worse. No chance they're growing anywhere near 7%. Given their behavior and the government figures alone, I'd bet on their economy being closer to recession than not.
Plus, the families of victims are often discussed in murder cases. It doesn't change the ability of the government to prosecute, but it's informative to the feelings of those most effective.
Looking to use react because of code cleanliness. Never had a performance problem with angular and have done two apps large apps thus far. I feel like people who have performance problems are just putting too much html on the page, and should rethink their design and rendering philosophy.
Haha I hope it doesn't come to that. In the excerpt above, it states "participation in any fantasy or simulation sports game or educational game or contest". There are also other non-sports related fantasy websites such as Celebrity Fantasy Draft which have won awards from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. We, and our lawyer, did not think that this violated the law.

As mentioned in other comments, we do not allow players to "cash out" if they are from states in which fantasy is banned. This is similar to what DraftKings and FanDuel do.

Does that address your concern?

It doesn't have to. It just need to provide the framework for US businesses to be successful and allow the entrepreur class to handle future demand. China, Russia, etc have so much state owned industry that the government itself needs to predict this stuff, which is the problem.
You vastly overestimate the abilities of any central planner. Coordination through market prices is the only way to provide the goods you describe. If houses were a simple cube of bricks built in the same location every time, what you descibe might be feasible (though it would still be a challenge to design the bricks, select materials, and an assembly technique). Market pricing allows for relative valuation of different options, such as making waterfront homes in Manhattan more expensive than homes in Boise tend to be, or deciding how many strawberries should be grown off season in greenhouses, and how many factories should be dedicated to producing insulin (as well as which techniques should be used, as modern insulin techniques were created by a startup you may have heard of).

You make the production of basic necessities sound simple, while ignoring the great amount of evidence to the contrary, i.e. Kruschev's famous tour of the grocery store.

Correct, at the extremes, the numbers don't matter. But where it says "1.2x slower", it really means "84% of baseline" [1], which might be a bit misleading.

I have stayed in London for around 1 year. It's lovely. How easy it is to find work in London (for a Canadian)?
I switched my MVP to AWS SES yesterday after having used Mandrill for transactional emails for about a year. I almost decided to just pay the $20/mo for a MailChimp plan because of SES's documentation and setup complexity and the annoyance of the sandbox (you can only send mail to and from pre-verified email addresses while in the sandbox).

However, I filed the support ticket to get out of the sandbox, requesting 2.5K daily emails. They approved it several hours later with 50K daily emails (!), so they are quite generous there - I was worried I'd have to keep an eye on the number of emails I'm sending, but the amount they gave me gives a nice buffer.

edit: Just to add, I'm one of those people that would religiously open spam emails and look for the relay, and if they're reputable like Mandrill or SendGrid, I'd go to their abuse page and report the email by pasting the email headers. Extrapolating from how many spam mailing lists I got added onto by recruiters, I can see how MailChimp employees' time could get sucked up investigating a lot of these spammers who probably slummed off the free or low cost tiers, and could damage their bounce rates.

So I can't totally blame them for this move w.r.t. Mandrill, and I still plan on using MailChimp when I have a need to send marketing emails to my users.

The FBI has requested that the families of the victims be able to submit amicus briefs to the court regarding this case. So the judge will literally be reading their statements. This is a somewhat questionable practice, as this particular case will be decided as a matter of law, which is really only supposed to be about looking at the letter of the law, past cases, and the actions of the FBI with respect to these. So, you're right, it's not relevant but it's also not irrelevant, especially as it undermines the FBI's narrative.

Hi, I’m Neil. I’ve been developing Android and iOS apps for five years. I’ve worked with everyone from very small startups to Fortune 500 companies. I’m used to working closely with designers, server-side developers, product owners and other key stakeholders to deliver great apps.

I love working on greenfield projects and building on existing products. I’ve been heavily involved in turning apps from prototypes into production-quality software, and have also been solely responsible for designing and building new applications from the ground up.

I currently have 10-15 hours per week free in my schedule, and am looking to take on a freelance project.

> but practically will look odd on every platform but native

That's absolute nonsense. First of all there's no "native" platform to Qt because it's cross-platform, and that's taken extremely seriously. Second of all, Qt apps are extremely well integrated on Windows, OSX and Linux alike.

There's tons of examples of commercial Qt apps exactly for that reason. What you say is true only for GTK, not Qt.

NiftyImages introduces API for data sync and passing on costs
Exactly. Running Gimp or Inkscape on OSX is really painful experience at some times. I wish they choose wx instead of GTK.

You usually cannot tell wxWidgets application from any other system one (unless the developer is clueless about platform guidelines like Quit menu item on Mac or such).
Other mail services can do the same. It's funny we have not fixed the problem of free mail, i.e. any one should be able to run a mail server anywhere and expect delivery of their mail. We should just do a better job of filtering spam and bad users, but mail should still be able to leave any server and be delivered to any other address.
You lucked into working for a pretty great company, then. I couldn't imagine being offered unsolicited extra paid time off from any company I've ever worked for, regardless of reason. The mantra these days seems to be: companies exist to squeeze as much value out of employees as they can whilst paying as little as they possibly can. If, as a company, you're not doing this, you're going to get outcompeted by companies who are.

I feel bad for the people forced to switch due to various reasons. The Mailgun guys were always extremely helpful when we used them and often went way above and beyond in helping us debug mail issues. Also, their webhook API is great when you need to accept large attachments.

No one believes that China's in a recession, not even the most sceptical of western observers.
They already have too much sympathy because they are victims. Nobody cares about the assailants.

So, they get longer sentence and less help. What are they going to do when they're out there in the street?
Oh, and the pricing page that's live right now is a bald faced lie. I wouldn't trust much/anything from these guys.
Tram lines are expensive, and require that the city (population, economic, and social centers) remain largely static. If you predict wrong, you can end up spending millions on a tram line that doesn't get used.
Another alternative when looking for the absolute lowest price is sendy.co.
It's a self hosted solution that connects with Amazon email services.

Does anyone have any experience with Sendy.co? And how it would compare with mailgun for deliverability?

Block-layer I/O polling merged into Linux kernel
When this event was posted here a few days ago[1] I spent probably an hour or so reading through the timeline[2] posted in one of the comments.

To a non-wikipedian such as myself it's a little opaque, but builds to quite a climax. It probably helps one to understand the depth of the resentment Tretikov engendered amongst some of the staffers.

> You need a lot of western ideals to make this actually work: free speech, open markets, powerful banking, strong monetary policies, anti-isolationism, free trade, employee protections, anti-corruption, capital protection, strong pro immigration policies, multi-party government, non-corrupt judiciary, etc.

That is an interesting point, I wonder how all the points you have listed are intertwined.

Do you need free speech because it is a prerequisite to have a low level of corruption ? Or could you in some systems have the low corruption without the free speech ? (I don't really believe that but it seems that is what is the PRC is trying to achieve) What would be the more and less important factor if you had to "implement" one first ? And so on.
