Fine, you show me a way we can do that that does not necessarily entail that the "bad guys" (which explicitly includes law enforcement, unless and until its aims shift from "winning cases" to the actual pursuit of, you know, "justice") can access it, too, and maybe we can meaningfully have that discussion.

But, as long as my choices are "keeping everyone out" or "risking the bad guys getting in," I don't see much difficulty in picking my camp.

I wouldn't know any, at 1:30am in the morning.

I do know that lots of things become a mess if you try to translate them to German (with my background, on this board: You certainly don't want to learn about German words for mother/main board, stack or similar things. Or - let's do one: "Stack" was taught as "Kellerspeicher" for a while, which is the combination of "Keller"/basement and "Speicher"/memory).

Back to the original question: Aren't the general concepts the same, can't you capture the same stuff in exactly the same precision in English? Are we just talking about the way ~some~ concepts can be compressed into a single noun quite well vs. a succinct sentence?
There is no need to do that since 15 years ago Icculus already made native Linux version for games on that engine. It's just question of time when he'll be allowed to release source code and manage to merge it into released codebase.

Also Winelib isn't something that magically make Windows-only software compile on Linux. It's just helper library that may make it easier, but it's usually wrong way to do things since it's not going to be run better than normal Wine.
If you're going to be accessing user data, you need to be using oath authorisation. There are other ways to handle it but after a lot of research and trial and error, in the end this was the best way I found.
Seems like it makes sense to me. Here's an analogous situation to jquery:

X = a huge workshop with a million tools, a table saw, ladders, and yes, a hammer and some nails

Y = some nails

Z = a hammer

You need to hammer stuff as part of your job. Yeah, if you get rid of X you need to replace it with Y and Z, but it still seems like simplifying to me, if you're replacing a whole room full of tools with just the tools you actually need.

Have you ever started a js app thinking you don't need jQuery? It usually goes great until you need to make a request. One look at `XMLHttpRequest` and suddenly including a 92kb (unminified) library starts to sound appealing.

I'd happily include a 9kb (unminified) polyfill and work off the assumption that I can remove it a few years down the road.

This is generally true, most VCs are afraid of things that have strong technical risk. But the point of the post is that starting a few years ago some VCs are finally catching up to founders on this. YC, Lux Capital, AH, Khosla, and of course our firm are trying to increase funding in the space and will continue to.
This is exactly right. When you disagree with a supplier you can only disagree based on the contract, and if someone could reasonably (and there is a wide latitude here for "reasonably") argue their interpretation was within the constraints of the contract than your remediation options are limited.

If you read contracts a lot (and over the years I've probably read a couple of thousand and negotiated maybe 100 or so) you will begin to see clauses that are in the contract which specifically prevent what was clearly a problem before that had not been decided as being in breach, so the added clause insures that in future contracts it would be decided as being in breach.

My lawyer once told me that every contract tells a story if you know how to read it. The more I've read, the more I have come to appreciate that sentiment.

> They are incorrect. Building luxury housing will take some of the demand pressure off of non-luxury housing (which constitutes the vast majority of the housing in San Francisco), thereby lowering its price.

Agreed. Also, rich people can just buy an old Victorian and modernize the inside, converting a non-luxury housing unit into a luxury one. That's one less unit on the market for normal people to buy or rent.

For example:
http://sf.curbed.com/2015/10/8/9913302/victorian-disembowele...

This is what happens when you don't allow development to proceed. It only makes things worse. Rich people will get their luxury housing, one way or another. The rest of us are left with fewer options.
Keep in mind that the title of the law often does not describe its true scope.
The Seattle and Denver metros are managing to keep a lower deficit of available housing than the SF Bay Area.

The high salaries of developers in the Bay Area are a reaction to that feedback loop. The companies you listed offer lower salaries to workers outside of the Bay Area, using what they call Prevailing Market Rate to determine pay bands.

I don't really understand why Apple, Facebook, Google, et al. spend so much money on hiring in the Bay Area instead of hiring aggressively outside of it in cheaper regions. Are they benefiting from the network effect anymore? I can understand startups needing to be close to VC funding sources, but how does it benefit the larger players?

Well factorio is actually following the minecraft design. They have a bunch of things they want to add, but due to the complexity of the game it takes time to get there. Like in minecraft where they kept adding blocks until they were like "alright we have all of the ones we initially designed in". Factorio hasn't reached that point yet.
If everyone builds luxury condos then there is too much competition and the price declines, builders will seek to build more profitable units. So long as "affordable housing" is above cost, then eventually it will be the most attractive new good to provide the market.

It will take a long time for the process to work though, because it takes years to build things, plus a year for Leases to cycle. In the meantime I imagine NIMBYs will say "see? nothing improved".

> Well that's just it, security is talked about but the buyer (the hotel in this case) is often not in a position to actually evaluate the vendor's claims.

But at least the buyer becomes aware that security might be an issues, and thus take it into account when making the final decision. (Even if its just "take the lowest bidder that talks about security convincingly"). OTOH, this doesn't work for buyers that don't actually care.

> You can put down "device should not be hackable" but without their own competent IT arm the hotel can't possibly verify the product delivers on the security promise.

Sure, but if the vendor puts this in the contract and the hotel does get hacked, isn't the vendor then suddenly liable?

A huge amount of this stuff is bloat, to me. It seems like this is a collection of libraries that largely were picked out of the problem that is javascript bloat today.

Use typescript and just write it to do whatever you want it to do. You don't need React, or any of this stuff. Chai is good for testing. But as far as deploying a production application, there should be literally no dependencies. You don't need them.

There is nothing today that typescript or even just raw javascript can't do perfectly fine on its own.
You're missing the point that middle class is a subjective measure. You're arguing that its median income. They're arguing its based on affordability markers.
It's actually pretty interesting that the impact speed is not that crucial when it comes to how deep the projectile is embedded. Isaac Newton was the first to explain it and to approximate how deep a projectile can go -- it boils down to the density ratio of the impactor and the target material. Additionally, penetrating the atmosphere itself can be thought of as equivalent to penetrating 10 meters of water, so the projectile already loses a lot of energy to push through it.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_depth for more explanation.

> Also, rich people can just buy an old Victorian and modernize the inside, converting a non-luxury housing unit into a luxury one.

Oh, it's worse than that: they can buy an old Victorian full of apartments and convert several non-luxury housing units into a single luxury housing unit. Which is something that tends to be generally encouraged by the zoning and planning codes, because single family houses are regulated much less strictly than any other kind of building, and also tend to be exempt from things like rent control.
Here's what the press release says concerning Chernobyl:

> The Fukushima disaster is the single largest release of radioactivity into the ocean and one of only two Level 7 nuclear disasters in world history - the other being Chernobyl.

So, can you explain what is so wrong or inane about this statement? I think it's rather informative and to the point, tbh.
Whether to blame the supply or demand side seems almost like a philosophical question.
The problem is that housing limits are not restricted to SF. The housing crunch is felt all across the bay area. Even if all the tech folks decided not to live in SF, that would still drive up prices elsewhere: San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mtn View, etc.

This problem will persist as long as the various SF bay area cities don't deal with the development/infrastructure issue. For example, San Mateo will gladly allow new office space but block new housing. Where are those office workers supposed to live? The problem just gets brushed under the rug.

I don't see irretrievable data as being significantly different than data that never existed to begin with, the only real difference is the belief that something valuable is hidden behind encryption. If and until the encrypted data is made plain, there's no telling what it contains, it could be tax records, transactions, commerce, or it could be a copy of the 1987 American action comedy film "Ishtar".

In the case of tax records (and ignoring that government would have a copy of said records), consider a dispute with the government who claims that a deceased person didn't pay taxes while the heirs claim taxes were paid (obviously a contrived example). If the "proof" is unavailable because the deceased encrypted it, then the result is the same as if the encrypted data never existed. The heirs could say that any random noise is encrypted data that provides proof of payment, but without any way to decrypt (and, arguably, to authenticate it) that random noise into actionable data, any claims the encrypted data contains the necessary "proof" is meaningless.

In other words, it's not the fault of encryption that the heirs have to deal with this beef from the government, but rather the fault of the deceased who encrypted things valuable to the heirs without a way for the heirs to access it (via sharing a key or explicit, chosen key escrow with a third party, etc). We like to say the answer will be legal and political, and it definitely has legal and political influences and impact, but given that the encryption is unbreakable, or the value of the dispute isn't worth the effort to undertake breaking it, we won't be able to legislate math to, uh, "not work".

Even if the government is the trusted entity of last resort and maintains a "legal" way to access encrypted content, there's nothing stopping the deceased in the above contrived example to have encrypted it using an unsanctioned algorithm or not have shared the key with the government, or whathaveyou. Then they die. Not only is the data inaccessible, but the responsible party is dead, and unable to have legal retribution rendered unto them for breaking the law. In this respect, the data is just as good as not having ever existed (which may very well have been the reason the now deceased encrypted it in the first place).

I had two contrasting reactions/thoughts.

The first was that these additions seem excellent and that YC will be much more capable and robust by virtue of them.

The second was a reflection on the criticism written against VC in the press for investing in "their buddies' companies" (ex: a16z partners investing in their friends' --who are experienced entrepreneurs with big visions-- companies) and whether we will see a narrative in the future against the common practice of VC firms hiring what can be seen from the outside as "their friends".

(personally I think the practice makes sense since you've often worked with them before and know their character and abilities)

Does all that really give you hope for the web as an application platform? I feel like there is an obvious kind of joke in so many discussions of front-end web programming tools. It is boarding on like a farce or satire of some kind ...

Every comment is has a different litany of obscure libraries and frameworks and combinations that sound like a set of random dictionary words with just a few common threads "react, react, blah blah."

It doesn't seem like "pace of technology change" and it certainly doesn't inspire the idea of relative maturity of the web as an app platform .... it seems like a comedy.
People do not make good contingency plans. Life events. Now data will go with people to their graves. No way to recover it.

So this is no different than data that goes to people's graves that isn't encrypted. People never made good contingency plans, they don't make good contingency plans, and they will continue to not make good contingency plans. The availability of encryption doesn't change that.

Not really; a module system that has versions allows you to define dependencies in terms of version ranges, so that if installing a newer version into your app the module can decide in its dependencies if the version is compatible or not. If you are spinning up different names for each module/version then you have to go round updating all your code that depends on the module to use the different name, and you can't select a different one. The point was that Jigsaw doesn't have a concept of version numbers in its module dependency system; they are all dependent upon exact name only.
It seems to be a great game! Sadly, I think it encourages resource exploitation as to what we, the human race, have been doing to Earth as a whole.

I think a very good extension would be to provide new technology for sustainable energy generation and even further the ability to harness and excel the planet as a super living thing (as Asimov could imagine in its Foundation series).

This would provide an even more constrained and challenging environment as to maintain planet's equilibrium on one hand and progress on the other.

Maybe, those aren't really valid concerns from the beginning of a game. But afterwards, it'll be important as massive industrialization reaches ecological relevance.

> Also Swift's compiled code does not get near the same performance as Go's compiled code. Even when you unsafely compile Swift's code, it doesn't get near.

Do you have a source for this?

Swift had the long term in mind anyway. The effort to create SIL, along with the industrial-strength LLVM pipeline, has led to a rock-solid foundation. It's hard to compete with a backend that has 4 separate IRs, each with its own suite of optimization passes, including hundreds of algebraic simplifications, a highly tuned register allocator, an instruction scheduling pipeline, and an autovectorizer, just to scratch the surface. The stage is set for an excellent compiler architecture, even if they're not there today.

Can we all agree that State of the Art JavaScript in 2016 is a mess?
In many cases, words that linguists call "non-compositional compounds" end up, in English, as a single word.

For instance a "blackboard" isn't a "black board": it is not simply any old board that is black. I.e. the semantics of the composition is not the composition of the semantics.

Some compound words in English have a history which starts as two separate words, then later joined with a hyphen, an finally conjoined without a hyphen. This roughly follows their evolution into a non-compositional noun.

"Newspaper" was once "news-paper" for instance.

Words like "high school" are the unfortunate exceptions; a high school isn't a school which is high, yet it's written as if it were two words. It's certainly not spoken that way; there is a difference between "high class", "high seas", "high concept" and "high school". The "school" is uttered without the slightest pause in front of it, and de-emphasized. Exactly like "board" in "blackboard", or "wife" in "housewife".

For what it's worth, at least English orthography doesn't string together long runs of words into an undelimited string.

You still need some sort of templating library. You can use Handlebars or Mustache, but if you are using TypeScript there is now something better: https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder

UIBuilder is basically TypeScript's TSX file but without React's bloat. The whole UIBuilder is about 100 lines of code. The advantage over Mustache is compile-time error checking of expressions used in the template, and of course full Intellisense, Refactoring etc if you are using Visual Studio.
