You're looking at it wrong.

Lower/middle/upper-class isn't just based on the relative distribution of income 10 miles radius of where you live. Some areas have different proportions of lower, middle, and upper class.

People in high-cost areas are quick to scale everything against the cost of living, but forget that cost-of-living is a economic signal of very high value for living there.

It's not that middle class is $170k. It's that the Bay area has a larger proportion of middle and upper class than other areas.

A 200-Year-Old Problem Solved by Using a Rubik's Cube
One business problem is that app developers don't have any control over design at the point of sale. The app store template prevents differentiation. The worst turd looks just like the highest art in the app store. Mechanically, it is just as easy to buy turds as art...easier when the turd is "free".

Everybody says 'mobile first'. It just shows waterfall is not dead, just internalized to the point developers are taking app store requirements over the transom and tossing code back over and then doing their QA through the fortress of bureaucracy surrounding the users.
They did that. She even "helped" with the design of the new logo, remember?

> While other people are busy writing blog posts, I've been shipping successful projects with Angular.

I've got no dog in the Angular fight, but I will point out a problem with the 'while others have been arguing I've been shipping' line: while it does optimise for productivity ('shipping'), it ignores correctness. Imagine someone writing, 'while others were fighting over crypto, I was shipping [ROT13-using code].'

My problem is that these arguments are important: e.g. we know that the halting problem is not generally computable, so a product which relies on computing it cannot be right. And oftentimes 'just shipping' ignores the lessons learnt by those with more experience than oneself: 'I've been shipping' can really mean 'I've been busy putting myself in a position to learn' and 'others writing blog posts' can really mean 'folks who've learnt the hard way trying to warn others.'

Like I said, I really have no clew if Angular is a problem or not; I don't really write any JavaScript these days. My only concern is the form of your argument.

AlphaGo won its best-of-five match-up with Lee Se-Dol
For me, I grasped most of usage of the language fairly quickly, from a standpoint of working functionally. I think there are a couple parts of Scala that are intimidating to beginners.

First of all, there's a lot of choice in how to organize a solution to a given problem. Say you've just started to grasp the idea of algebraic data types and manipulations thereof. You might still find it hard to know how to apply it in a given situation, because there are several ways to do it [1]. As you gain experience, you start to get a feel for which option is more appropriate in a given situation.

Secondly, a lot of the basic concepts of Scala are super general, so you can sometimes see language elements used in ways that are surprising. In my experience, you start to build a mental model for actual usage of language elements, but it's still intimidating at first. See this question and answer about the `object` keyword [2].

But then, even as you master the language, there are all sorts of little gotchas you learn to navigate. This is true of any language of course, but it can be more frustrating when you're operating at a higher level of abstraction. The Dotty project seeks to rewrite the Scala compiler in line with an improved framework of some of the more innovative type system features of Scala. I think it's ultimately going to lead to a better foundation with less gotchas. But it's still a long time coming.

Oh yeah, and the `implicit` system is a beautiful concept, but pretty unique to Scala, and intimidating at first.

"I was destined to become CEO from CTO but decided COO and second in command is the best position for me."

I have a very good friend made exactly the same call. He just didn't feel he had the people skills to be the head guy...and given his slightly Aspergerish personality, he was right. So he now happily runs the company from the office of COO, as an absolutely brilliant technician, with a CEO who's smart enough to let him do so.
Could be that. Or, it could be that they are flat out cynically lying to the public. Not sure which it is, but too much of it going on lately. If there is really a need, give us more information. Everything doesn't have to be top secret. I simply don't believe that.
In the case of child porn, I think the bigger reason why it's such a serious crime is because that population will never have political support, and they're such an easy punching bag. They're the group nobody likes.

You say that the consumption of images increases the probability of more production, but I really doubt that's the explanation for why things are why they are. I don't know if there's a market for child porn, but if there isn't, that means that consumption of child porn doesn't provide material support for crime. On the other hand, when we buy goods supported by exploitation of both adults and children, sometimes fatal exploitation, we do provide material support to an economic process with a relation to crime.

While I'm okay with entertaining a discussion on my moral responsibilities as a market participant, as well as discussion about how global economy ought to work, I wouldn't be okay with criminal culpability because I bought cheap goods or electronics.

That's crazy. Are you going to HIRE A DEV for fixing a proof-of-concept app like this? Stop. This is where you should be learning to do things, not hiring a dev for writing such simple small apps for you.

Since you're learning right now, find a framework (best if not PHP, but it can be a PHP framework) and follow the tutorial. You'll learn some "backend", and you'll learn it with best practices and with things in the right place.

I find that the Typesafe (Lightbend) and Typelevel communities are more or less moving in the same direction. Using Shapeless, for example, doesn't seem to really conflict with more mundane Scala usage. I'd say that there's more of a contrast with the Scalaz world, where obscure category-theoretic terms and operators are unavaoidable.

That said, I've had plenty of success applying Scala at work without bringing in overt category theoretical concepts into my codebases. Scalaz remains very much an opt-in community.

What makes the author said is the specific nature of the sustainable revenue models and marketing strategies. The metaphor from the article works just fine. Once upon a time toys were wooden and passed down from generation to generation. They were made by local craftspeople. Now that is a niche within a niche.

But Steve wasn't just a great product person, and it wasn't just a great product that turned Apple around. If you dig into the actual history, Steve significantly restructured Apple when he returned, killing licensing deals and products without a future, and refocusing the remaining product line before he set about creating a single new true innovation. And remember that Apple didn't really pick up steam until it capitalized on the iPod's traction years after Steve returned.

1997 Apple and 2016 Yahoo also exist in very different markets and very different landscapes, to the point that I'm not sure it's fair to say that Yahoo could even plausibly make an Apple-like turnaround happen without completely changing what it does. Apple's resurgence was as much about its great hardware as about its great software, and Yahoo doesn't really have either; it has services, which are a quite different beast these days.

That's the exact problem. Mayors is not Steve Jobs. I feel like she is asking for 3 more year for a turn around simply because Steve Jobs took that amount of time to do so. But turn arounds aren't measure in how long it takes. It takes time for sure but thats only a small part of the equation. She doesn't understand even if she copied everything Steve Job did, she will probably not succeed.
I had a look at the PDF and the margins are normal for a magazine, but the font size is what I would consider normal for a book, which means there are too many words per line.

There seems to be a difference between your examples and encryption though. All of your examples were developments that created positive value.

Blitzkrieg is like "a war being done quick" or "a war which wont last long and to be ended quick".

I think the key is the understanding of "Blitz", which is associated with things like "fast" "hitting hard" "dangerous" "powerfull" "in a short amount of time" "to release a high amount of energy in a short amount of time" (and so on).

All of these words, formed like a tag cloud, are meshed into the the idea "Blitz" added to the german word for war ("Krieg").

If i think about the german language, its all about abstraction (and precision).

Yeah I agree, I just think there's something a bit more visceral about shooting someone with a gun (or using any other physical weapon that shoots or cuts or stabs) rather than using encryption to set up a scenario that would cause harm in some way indirectly from the perpetrator.

I would think this is why there are those restrictions on guns that seem pretty weird when you talk about applying the same rules to encryption.

> Most (all?) of their current apps would probably need to disappear.

If the very product they're trying to sell needs to disappear, then your recommendations of "consolidate into worker co-op" or "create a larger company" does not have any useful meaning.

You've got cause-&-effect of product and business structure backwards.

What happens in the real world:

1st) have a viable product that sells for sustainable revenue ---> 2nd) amount of incoming money helps guide decisions about structuring the company to be sole-proprietor vs traditional incorporated vs workers cooperative.

The reverse direction of...

1st) organize a workers co-op ---> 2nd) sell something-I-don't-know-what-it-could-be-but-your-current-apps-need-to-disappear.

... is an academic dead end. If you're going to hand wave away where the money comes from to pay the salaries of the workers owning the co-op, it doesn't matter that they formed a co-op for better working conditions.

The article was about sustainable revenue in the long tail of the app store. A workers co-op is an unrelated tangent and doesn't solve how to survive in that long tail.
You missed the point. Obama thinks that taking our privacy away will help him target the bad guys better.

So the argument is, "How many lives is your 'privacy' worth? Would you give some up to spare the 2800% collateral damage?"

Snark aside, this is, actually, the rational conversation that America and the world need to have. Like many difficult problems, it's sometimes helpful to start with a simpler version of the problem. So let's simplify it a bit to start. Let's assume for a moment that backdoors will lead to better capture ratios for terrorists- that is, a higher probability of stopping real terrorist attacks. Even if it's only the stupid copy-cat cell guys, let's assume for whatever reason that giving this access to law enforcement buys us X innocent, civilian saved lives per year, by perhaps some combination of thwarting attacks and better intel on targets.

What is X such that privacy invasion is acceptable?

This, for me, is a super-hard question.

I have ordered a few midline desktops from dell for testing their Ubuntu setup. In the end I wiped and installed my own, and the eula that pops up on first boot was fucking ridiculous, I mean I know they like tonpush the boundaries for self protection, and I understand things like wanted to keep any issues in their jurisdiction and stuff like that, but clauses in the eula stated you waved all rights including constitutional ones (yes, the word constitutional was used in the actual eula,) agreed to forfeit any trial by jury or anybother legal procedure except private arbitration in Dells jurisdiction, and some other stuff that really bothered me to see as the first thing that popped up on first boot.

Lots of it is obviously totally unenforceable and wouldnt stand in court, but they put it in there anyway just because they can get away with it.

Does no one do reasonable eulas/tos?
