My guess is turf grab followed by backfilling features needed (demanded) by a mature ecosystem.

Started playing with Graph API. I was pleasantly surprised that it had matured with some user privacy preserving kabuki. Like issuing unique user ids per app. An earnest effort to make it harder to aggregate and correlate ids across apps. (Alas, deanonymization is pretty easy.)
I just meant that I felt a little silly for overlooking something like that.

One of my biggest pet-peeves is when people swoop into a field they know very little about and proclaim they figured it all out, and i kind of feel like i did that here a little bit and it bothers me.
I've bought pretty much every previous generation of kindles, but don't see the point of this one.

The voyage is already quite expensive for an ereader, and an upgrade of questionable value over the Paperwhite, and this one is still more expensive, for hardly any benefit.

To put it more positively: The kindle paperwhite is amazing value for the price ;-)

In my experience it's cleaner than default emacs editing experience, but it's not as clean as you can get in plain vim.
Perhaps night-shift helps now, but for me reading on e-ink has always been a more pleasant experience that results in little eye strain after long periods of time.

Just today I wrote a custom git command to help me sync my branch with master without having to first git checkout master, git pull, git checkout <my_branch>, git rebase master and deal with conflicts.

I chose BASH for my language of choice, but could have use Python or Ruby or anything that the shell can execute.

An Afternoon with MIT's Most Important Invention
Well I made his short two word answer into an explanation.
Like other comments have said, learning one tool which is available basically everywhere means you only have to put in the up front learning once.

Sure, it is a learning curve, but once you get the basic idea that it's a sort of language for manipulating text, then the rest is just adding to that.

For example, once you know that "d" is the verb to "delete" and that verbs can take nouns (like "w" for "word") then "dw" deletes a word. Now you can learn new nouns and apply to all the verbs you already know. Same for motions G is the motion to move to the bottom of the file, "dG" will delete from the cursor to the bottom of the file.

Anyway, far smarter people than me have made some great introductions. I would recommend the following:

1. go through "vimtutor"
2. Look at vimcasts
3. In a while, "Practical Vim" is a very nice little book.

Good luck :)
Could it be economics? Baby boomers have relatively more discretionary income?
What have been some of the strategies suggested. There is a definite desire from the younger age groups to do something, but non-profits I have worked with or know are experiencing the same issue as you are seeing.

A professor of mine declared that he would donate to NPR when he had money, is it a case where the loan debts from the students is sapping the monies that used to go to the non-profits?
Do you ever have to vim somewhere where there is no nvim? Like on a server, etc? I worry about getting used to nvim features or behaviors that might not be compatible with vim (are there any?) and being super bummed on a server some day!
Exactly, it's just a tough problem to solve. As you so eloquently stated, the server-based solutions all introduce a terrible amount of latency (500ms-1 sec+ round trip) so they're not a silver bullet either.

The impressive things about WebRTC like appear.in are:
- Video/audio quality is extremely good - better than almost any other server-based video chat.
- Latency is extremely low because of it's direct peer-to-peer communication method. It's awesome having video chat that is <20ms round trip latency (assuming you're all in the same geographic/metropolitan area).
- HTTPS/TLS/SSL gives you end-to-end encryption, which is very nice to have.

At the cost of very high bandwidth due to the mesh topology.
I still don't see the article as addressing that well at all. I re-read it fully before answering. Immediately after mentioning that we think of cash-filled envelopes etc the very next paragraph says that this is not what's the problem.

"The countries where they are headquartered are unable to regulate them" ... "This architecture is one of the greatest international human rights triumphs of the last 50 years." ... "they’ve raised the cost of committing human rights violations in developing countries."

Well either the regulation is working well or it isn't. It's no longer a piece addressing the shortcomings of multinationals but is a piece pointing out the difficulties dealing with corrupt or overseas regimes. We're now talking of how we trade (multinationals included) with those places. Of course there is some degree of cross-over stemming from trading with.

It's far more about the internals of these places "The majority — all 5,000 of them — sell clothes on the domestic market", leasing land from Zimbabwe's ARDA etc. Now I fully agree that this is an problem, but it is not the same issue. Likewise, internal regulations that he mentions. Many of those are not new. The main example, Green Fuel, in Zimbabwe has no external investors or customers. Where's the multinational angle there?

So yes they're untouchable, but it's a national issue. It's been that way for a considerable number of years in some cases. So let's discuss why we're failing to make other countries more globally accountable. It's clearly important we consider that. How far can we reasonably expect to influence another nation? We don't often send a gunboat like a Victorian govt might have.

Isn't that basically saying that it's not, in this case, multinationals that's the problem here?

We can also talk about about shortcomings multinationals, which I already covered, probably at too much length, in the OP.

Thanks for replying.. I didn't realize that all actually happened. Scary stuff.
Same here. Mine is the "keyboard kindle" with the physical page-turn buttons. My only regret is that I didn't buy the larger DX model while they had it, as the bigger screen is more useful for technical titles.
I actually used this a couple days ago for an interview. Cool stuff. The UI needs work, but functionality wise, really impressive. The quality was great and there were 3 people on the call. I'm not sure how it'll handle much more than that, but it worked great without any hiccups.

Here are three of mine:

(defun tom/insert-sterling-symbol ()

(insert "£"))

(defun tom/set-buffer-modified ()
(interactive)
(set-buffer-modified-p 't))

(defun tom/unix ()
"Set buffer to unix line endings"
(interactive)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'unix))

The last one exists only because I could never remember the right command to select Unix-style line endings. So rather than train myself to learn it, I just wrote a small wrapper with an obvious (to me...) name, because it's so easy to do that.

I've written some Visual Studio addins as well... the experience is not really comparable. (Visual Studio VBA macros, when it supported that, were painful too.) emacs makes it a lot easier.

Amusing to me that there is no comment section on this piece.

Elsewhere on the Guardian there was an article [0] talking about the issue (with comments open), and a lot the comments were along the lines of 'maybe if you stopped deleting any disagreement'

Well planned stages, I'd say.
Thank You. Sorry for the rhetoric. It is unintentional and is due to my belief that a substantially better system can be created.
Sure, and that's probably considered "freebooting" as well.
This is huge for many of us working with WebRTC for video (or audio), because the only way for Safari users to have the same experience as other browsers was through a plugin.

By closing this gap, you can have the same experience for 99% of desktop users. iOS will stil require a native app (I really, really, really hope they will implement it there next).

The use case I'm working with is embedding video as part of live support for retail, and we're looking at doing more than that.

Why does it matter: my personal belief is that WebRTC might be an important enabling technology for VR or AR-based shopping experiences (We actually applied to Y Combinator with that, but got rejected).

401ks are fairly mobile although many people simply forget about them. The sad truth is that many people would not allocate enough to their retirement and healthcare without guided direction or a minimal effort option.

But I agree with the problem of pensions but I would also add that today's managers don't want to fund them the way they should. Instead, they set aside some money and assume a very rosy growth rate that doesn't always materialize. Even with that inflated expected growth rate, pensions are often still underfunded. An employee should be free to contribute to such a perpetuity if he so chooses.

Underfunded pension liabilities will likely take down several large cities over the coming years.
Probably a different department and/or it takes too long to get sign off for deployment into their own data centre.
I have the Voyage but wish I would have gotten the Paperwhite instead as it is not worth the extra cost. The Voyage is also very buggy when trying to turn pages. There is no way I am paying even more for this new Kindle that looks to correct all the problems that the Voyage has with page turning.
The article says that 99% of the people striking are wireline employees; not wireless. They're more than likely making well over minimum wage.
If my friends and colleagues are any indication (late-20s, midwest), the problem is not that we don't like non-profits or the work they do, it's that we don't have enough money to freely give.

My wife works in an art museum, and they have the same problem, but they've been trying very hard with events aimed at "millenials".
They're unlikely to do that. First, it's practically impossible to enforce a "don't use other messaging platforms" clause. I mean, they'll be pulling in a lot of companies early on that use SMS or similar to interface with customers already. Messenger is just going to be one part of those companies' communication arsenal. Second, if they did, you'd see lawsuits or major players leaving (for the same reason as #1, they're already on other platforms, they don't want to shut them down). A business needs to connect with as many customers as possible. If 80% of customers are on FB, and 70% are on Google, and 99.9% are on SMS, connecting to each of those platforms makes sense. But only one of them makes sense to use exclusively. Those are made up and wildly wrong numbers, but the real numbers will bear this concept out. FB won't have 100% of a business's chat-based customers, and unless they have > 90 or 95%, then exclusivity would be absurd.

Who's "we"? If someone reaches a maximum of productivity using an editor made in the 70's, who is anyone else to tell them otherwise?

Preferred tooling for reaching maximum productivity is an inherently personal thing - you may do your best in emacs, the other guy in vi, yet someone else in Sublime3 on Windows. Nobody is qualified to make broad sweeping judgments as to what works best for everyone.

A few try, and some inferences can be made to the lowest common denominator (see modern UI design practices), but if we're talking productivity for the super-literate user, then no, absolutely not.

I am in Rome for 3 months, and I take pictures everywhere. Why? So that I can remember the experience (also to prove to my family that I'm still alive). I don't take pictures every day, but I do it when it will be meaningful in the future.
Just curious, do we have ANY examples of AI actually improving our lives today that we couldn't write off as examples of privacy invasion (like Facebook's face detection)? I'm getting the impression that it's not the AI that we should expect the utopia to appear from - instead, I put a lot of hope in microeconomies created by services like Uber or Airbnb that drive prices down. If only those were free and decentralised...
Ahh, never even noticed that before.
> I suggest that instead of sanctioning entire countries ... That doesn't work when the people of a country hold no power over their government.

OK, fair point. I'm the first to admit I don't have the answers on this topic.

I fully agree we should be making resources available for dealing with some of these issues, and those responsible, as you suggest.
Any written text can be either true or false, fiction and mythology have always been wildly popular. The bible, like all works of fiction, was made up by men.

> That seems to remove the possibility to know anything from a written text including science, history, autobiographies, and other forms of non-fiction.

Things aren't true because they're written, they're true because they can be verified as true; writing merely adds the possibility to pass on the knowledge required to verify a truth. Absent re-verification, nothing is true simply because someone wrote it down.
Star Wars, like the holy books, are works of fiction and the story contained within bears no resemblance to reality nor do the dates claimed bear any resemblance to the truth.
No it doesn't follow because science isn't a belief, science is a method for examining beliefs. Scientists don't "believe" in science, they understand how to apply the scientific method in order to examine and discard false beliefs. Unlike beliefs, science requires no faith at all.
E-Reader for the price of a new PS4, no thanks.
I really should figure out how to do this.

My phone is typically either in the dedicated compartment in the "Infotainment Center" or in the saddlebags. I almost always have my music playing (via Bluetooth) but I can control that (skip songs, adjust volume, etc., via controls on my hand grips). Because my phone is always paired via Bluetooth, I do get the audible alert played through the stereo system when I receive an SMS message -- and the ringtone and notification on my display when I receive a phone call -- but I can't hear or read my messages through it.

After thinking about it for a moment, I don't think Siri would be able to "hear" me, though, regardless of where my phone was (I don't have a Bluetooth earpiece or anything like that and I don't wear a helmet). I'm gonna look into it, though.

To piggy back on this, in general how do you balance the time between switching out a toolset vs doing development work? For example, I've been using PyCharm for years but the switch in JetBrains's licensing strategy has me looking at Vim or Neovim. I use Vim from time to time just as a quick editor but I really need to sit down and learn it inside out to make it a useful tool for me. Is this something where you start incorporating it into each project or is it a situation where you just sit down with the tool for a few days and learn it inside out? Curious about people's thoughts on this.

It would be difficult to nail down a value in general since it will vary from person to person.

But to a capitalist market a mother's love of her child is of huge value. Because that child is immediately a part of that market due to the money the mother spends to raise the child. Then the child eventually grows up to enter the market as a consumer to spend money on herself or maybe enter as a producer. Eventually she may have a child of her own to repeat the cycle. Without children a capitalist market eventually dies and a mother's love is one way to help its survival.
Yeah, see Paris and Brussels. It's exactly why the drone wars need to end. We don't need any more people that go nuts.

Other than that Belgium and France need to fix their shit and have less people falling for crazy extremists.

This isn't new. Paris and Belgium has a history of at least a century of terrorism.

With those bombs... look.. if that guy was a terrorists, how many more do you think it created? Dozens, maybe hundreds!

And that guy would still be an alive threat.

Imagine an ordinary American citizen, maybe not mentally stable (anymore), maybe living in poverty, seeing how Japan for example would have drones over the US, seemingly randomly killing friends and family. Imagine there was a group of people, calling themselves Patriotism for America. Also there have been wars ravaging the country, everything is ash and dust. There is more weapons than everything else. Imagine some people there had contacts and friends in Japan.

Guess what would happen.

Hint: There were way lesser reasons for many wars and acts of violence.
