Not at all. I wasn't trying to suggest any fixes.
I was just rhetorically questioning the validity of our economic theory without including the "laws" of human behavior and the factors that influence it.

Culture and the economy are in a constant feedback loop and we should look at both components when building our theories.

There is this fallacy that companies offer customers what they want, when in fact companies do everything possible to suggest to people what they want or need by using all kinds of mind manipulation techniques.
And the theory doesn't address this at all.

I don't know about regulation of culture - that never works as expected, but some activism is always welcome. Facebook or Google could potentially alter the whole global economy and ecology, just by carrying certain messages on their websites or apps.

Like "plant trees and recycle" ! Or .. "be generous, help the needy" or something like that.
There's never been a breakthrough like this -- what you edit dominantly gets transferred to offspring. Previous gene therapies didn't necessarily get propagated, which means any mistakes are permanent.... the potential for disaster is huge.
So, the long-term solution for strong encryption must be a cultural one. We have to be prepared to fight the crypto wars forever, like unions are still fighting the labor wars a century later. Like civil rights activists are fighting racism even today--and will be for the foreseeable future.

So true .. and it up to you to continue our peoples struggle. - I've seen this time and time again .. WTC7 was one of those don't believe your eyes. and Now the Gov. lackeys need your info to sell as so-called information brokers to get you special offers. Based on any and all of your actions. ( think supper cookies ) but moved to a mobile platform you! And you if don't want special offers - then you are a terrorist! - and YOU become the focus. Not WTC7 - Waco or that poor man in the US house who forgot he was 2nd admin C&C denied. But did not get a chance to explain - before the cover up started. I support APPLE & Mr. Snowden vs. the FBI/INFORMATION BROKERS on this hope you do as well.

In my humble experience, I've found that there are two paths that seem to be traversed and work. 1. It doesn't matter how many people work remotely but everyone is committed to participating and communicating through distributed means(chat, email, etc). That usually works pretty well. 2. Depending on the company culture, you'll need to have different amounts of the work force remote to get critical mass of adoption.

Their competitive advantage will be their unique catalog and social features but Google with YouTube Red already provides a similar catalog and experience. Most remixes I find on Soundcloud I've also been able to find on YouTube and YouTube has more live clips in my experience.
Either the brand value of soundcloud is high, it can attract artists to post exclusives on its site or the second-by-second social feature is an important deal or they will have difficulty competing with Google Play/YouTube Red and the others.
Though the obvious question is "for how long?" This explanation only makes sense if that cash eventually gets spent (not necessarily all spent down to $0, but companies can't keep having rising ratios of cash to value forever).
Well, some systems have a seperate option for 'like/dislike and agree/disagree'. And a bunch of other things.

So maybe something like that could work on Hacker News. Slashdot had it, XenForo forums have used for a plugin for it for years and Facebook has just introduced something akin to it in Reactions.
I don't know that that's true. For every piece of B-rated schlock that arrives, they're also bringing on AAA content. Is it every major new release? No. But it's not trivial.

I had a similar experience a while back with my software, Mayan EDMS an open source paperless solution.

> Would seem silly to use rust for all it's safety features to then call into c libraries, anyhow.

Why? One very important use case for Rust's unsafe sublanguage is making wrappers around C libraries that can be used in the safe sublanguage. If anything, using C libraries is more pleasant in Rust (or C++) than in managed languages, because you don't particularly need to accomodate or work around the idiosyncracies and quirks of a complex runtime system. That's pretty much the entire point of my above post (GP to this one).

> So much for Heartbleed wouldn't happen with rust.

You may not agree, but the position consistently taken by Rust is that, while avoiding unsafe code is highly desirable, it isn't always possible. What is always possible is to isolate unsafe code, so that, if the safety guarantees of the safe sublanguage are ever violated, you know what parts of your program to audit.
No, but it looks like since after WWii we've been mostly reactive rather than forward looking and proactive.

I was in HIV research for a time. I was unimpressed by this paper's title, introduction, methods, etc, until the part where they discussed correcting infected cells derived from human donors. As a general note, a running joke in the field is that "anyone can cure HIV in vitro", so I practically tuned out the sections where they discussed the work in T-cell cultures.

>Lentivirus (LV) mediated Cas9/gRNA delivery suppresses HIV-1 infection in human T-cells.

That should be the actual headline of this paper. Yes, it's a big deal that researchers were able to use a lentiviral vector (HIV without the disease causing bits) to genetically alter infected CD4 T-cells. This is a shot at a cure.

Simple infection of a person with the CRISPR-fortified lentiviral vector is a new therapy idea which has the potential to trump the current antiretroviral therapies because it can reduce or remove the HIV "viral reservoir"-- the places in the body where HIV can hang out and survive even when being suppressed by antiretroviral therapy. I can imagine a therapy in which the CRISPR-vector is injected into patient lymph nodes and other similar sites with the intent of curing HIV for good. Won't be cheap for another decade, though.
Glad to hear that you like GitLab CI. Continuous Delivery FTW!
I don't think this really contradicts what 'digibo said. That comment seems to refer to the latter as doxxing.
How to fight off bots attacking your site
I suppose this is entirely subjective, but I have to disagree that an SPA is inherently more complex and time-intensive that building equivalent functionality mostly server-side. I split my time about evenly between serverside development (Rails, then PHP before that, then Java before that) and clientside (React, then Angular before that, then Backbone before that, and jquery soup before that). I think it depends on the app, but I definitely find certain kinds of apps are a lot easier in a large clientside framework.

Now, there are cases for each. Building a simple blog, you'd be right: a server-rendered app with a sprinkling of JS for flavor would probably be a lot easier. On the other hand, a site that behaves more like an app might be quicker to build as an SPA. For example, an e-commerce site with complex filtering (you can filter by size, but it goes 0-20 for shoes, sm-xl for t-shirts, 10-70 for jeans, etc) and complex UI interactions available in-page on each item such as one-click buying, searching for similar items, setting up a price-alert, etc). You could do that mostly server-side, but I'd argue your frontend (at least on the item-browsing page) is heavier enough that it may be easier to just build a js-first site to start with.

> Because all dependents are satisfied by 1.0.1, support agrees to grant Supreet’s request to delete 1.0.0.

There are some good changes here, unfortunately this policy will still break projects that use "npm shrinkwrap" to lock down specific versions, which IMHO, anyone who wishes to retain their sanity will do.

When this happens AFAIK there's no foolproof way to "patch" your npm-shrinkwrap.json with the new version without deleting it and re-running shrinkwrap, and thus possibly bumping versions of every other package as well. The usual recommendation seems to be "find and replace" the version in npm-shrinkwrap.json with a regex, which is fine if the package's dependencies didn't change but will break if a dependency is added.

I'd love to know if there's a better way.

FWIW, if you think this is a very rare occurrence, it's now happened to me 3 times in last few months, the latest being less than a week after the left-pad incident [1].

One could say the same about cities and counties, except in LA, where they call them parishes, or AK, where they call them boroughs.

But I don't expect that change anytime soon. It was after all the states who gave up some of their sovereign powers to form a federal system after breaking free of British rule.
In theory, this could be in the realm of a copyright violation:

https://help.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy/

Although (and I am no expert) when your license is sufficiently broad and allows for behaviors you saw (e.g. “please include the original header” is not the same as “you must include the original header”), GitHub might decide that there is no violation, technically.

Unfortunately there are lots of behaviors in the world that are legal even though they’re despicable. Your best bet is to be very clear what you want people to do with your projects, e.g. state copyrights, add licenses that are not too liberal if you want restrictions.
You are not.

> No, I'm asking how deflation in general causes wage deflation. Your post was in answer to deflation caused by hiding/destroying cash.

Deflation most affects the party who would otherwise have first received the money that was removed from the economy.

> But deflation is the natural result of a growing economy and better efficiency. If it was bad, civilisations would have self-destructed every time they came up with a better way to do things. Imagine a new technique that would reduce food prices by 50%. Would this be a good, or a bad thing?

Costs are different than prices. Reducing the cost of producing food is good. Reducing prices is generally bad -- it's better to increase the price of everything else by creating new money and leave the price of food constant. Because reducing prices creates an incentive to hoard currency, which is very bad for the economy. It makes currency an investment that competes with actually productive investments and reduces the speed of money which reduces economic activity.

> People should stop saving money and buy everything around them instead?

That's already what people do. Who literally hoards cash?
Yeah I thought that comparison was a little suspect

Snapchat launches Chat 2.0, moves from messaging app to full communication suite
The velocity of money has fallen off a cliff since 2008 [1].

Money is not moving, that is bad for the lower, middle and most of all upper class and corporations.

Consumer driven economies with policies that kill off consumer buying power is a bad mixture. Wage stagnation and money that moves like molasses isn't a recipe for growth. Companies can only do buybacks for so long.

The trend is not good and CEOs don't see that changing [2].

About a third of respondents expect corporations to become more competitive within three years. Assessments of every element of the U.S. business environment improved between a 2011 survey and this latest one. The growing optimism "seems to reflect the cyclical rebound of the U.S. economy," the report said.

But what do business leaders see coming for workers in the next three years? Only 27 percent expect workers to enjoy higher pay, while 41 percent said wages and benefits would be falling.

Destruction of lower/middle consumer class since the 70s clearly charts in the shares of gross domestic income to persons [3], the long slide.

This has been apparent as a Netflix subscriber and basically has sent me back into buying my videos rather than believing I'll be able to stream them. And oddly that works in the cable company's favor as their extortionate price becomes less than the aggregate price of all the streaming services which would be required to replicate their "catalog."

The most interesting model is the mixed own/stream model at Amazon. Amazon continues to have movies for purchase which it doesn't stream as part of Prime, and those movies are "permanent"[1] when you buy them so you can go back later and re-watch them. Not true for Netflix even with some of their obscure "B" titles.

I expect it will continue to get weird before it gets better.

[1] Well as permanent as anything Amazon does, which is to say they could revoke access at any time for any reason.

I think you're reading too much into 'confusing'. It won't leave someone without understanding; it -may- cause them to momentarily pause, going "WTF?...uh...probably does ~this~. But why would someone do things this way?" That's still delaying them, that's still distracting them, that's still putting up an obstacle. Not one a future maintainer can't overcome, but -why do it-? That's the point.

Somehow, physics does not appear to need such extensive vetting - to me (as an outsider) it seems like physicists can find what they need on arxiv.org

Hope that model successfully crosses over to biology (biorxiv.org). For now, I use the following heuristic after finding an article on google/google scholar:

* do I know the journal at all (to filter out vanity journals)
* do I know the researchers involved (and I learn of new researchers through citations in papers, through presentations online or at conferences and through twitter)
* I look at the number of citations of the paper (using google scholar) and relevance of the papers that already cite the paper of interest (using google scholar).

In addition, I also read papers :-).

There's a difference between learning private information and disclosing it.

Publishing information on a particular private individual because the public's benefit is sufficiently great is a hard line to even vaguely pin down - a home address, all private contact methods, and enough personal data to forge their identity on a passport application is probably never warranted to publish, but you're going to acquire that information while researching private citizens for any reason, and then pare it down to the minimum required to establish whatever story you're reporting on.

One might distinguish "doxxing" as "publishing all the information you can retrieve", without any filter or goal other than making the information as public as possible.
