Sure.
Because, at the rate you pay premiums, it would take somewhere between 8 and 20 years to save up the full coverage amount.
So either
a) You had to have started saving as early as possible, or
b) You have to save a much larger percentage of your income to catch up

Also, you might have rational purpose for not saving that much, so you can deploy your income in a more productive way.

Similarly, why would people get a car loan? Just save up and pay cash!!!!! Why waste money on interest payments (particularly when interest rates on loans were much higher.)
Some people could do that, some couldn't.
Now you have an option you didn't have before.

I think Reddit provides those consumers with a forum for their content which otherwise would not be seen by as many people, and therefore defends its value up front.

The contributors on the other hand get to use reddit for free. Sure, many of them could publish OC on their own websites and get hits. A lot of them, no one would care, because their content is only interesting in the context of the reddit culture and hivemind (this is especially true for comments).

Lets not forget how much traffic reddit could drive to your personal site or blog, either.

I am surprised it took reddit so long to do something so simple to generate money.
'The news that (Peter Thiel) just gave the world a master class in how a billionaire can achieve enormous ends with a relatively modest investment'

Off topic but this case is nothing compared to the master class run by Geoge Soros in showing how a billionaire can pervert democracy by funding massive social engineering in all the countries of the European Union.

As Viktor Orban has said "George Soros has published a comprehensive six-point plan promoting the movement of migrants into Europe, in which he has declared that at least one million Muslims should be let into Europe every year. According to this they must be given safe passage, and Europe should be pleased to receive such an opportunity, rather than try to resist it. He also said that this will cost a lot of money, and he will provide the credit needed".
With regard to cell-towers: the inverse-square law will underestimate your radiation exposure from a cell-tower, because they are directional and the inv.sq.law relates only to to perfectly isotropic radiators. In other words: you need to factor the cell-tower antenna gain (typically between 7-10dB) into your calculation.
Interestingly, this argument was also examined in a recent conference [1] and the same conclusions are drawn. Specifically: applications are using high-level frameworks more (and POSIX less) which use platform-specific extensions, ioctl dominates, and new (disjoint) abstractions are introduced by the major OS platforms.

>it sometimes seems like a minor change to the UI can require a major change to the source, cascading through multiple components.

>in React I'm finding result in needing to change where state is kept (or what things are state and what things are props), requiring cascading changes to many components.

It sounds like you don't have a good understanding of state vs props. You should use state as little as possible and try to do as much as possible through props, passing them down from the parent components as necessary.

When I create a react app I use the flux architecture, define a state on the top parent component and then add most of the other components as children to this parent component, passing down state as props, and adding listeners to update the components when the state of the parent changes.

As far as moving elements around I mostly do that through CSS and wasn't aware react had much to do with positioning elements

>taking a UI widget/component that previously was only one one page and realizing it had to be re-used on another(s)

Import it into the component that renders the other page and use different props. If you define a lot of stuff in the state of the component then the component isn't as portable.

>moving a UI widget from one part of the page to another;

This just sounds like CSS and possibly markup to me.

>taking a UI widget that previously just displayed something and realizing it needs to have an 'edit' capability too

Not sure what you mean by this.

Sounds like you could use more practice.

Not the very bottom of the market devices, but they are pretty good for the $200 price point.

Thanx for the heads up! I was not aware of these issues. what make them make such poor decisions.
I'll tell you exactly why what Peter Thiel is doing makes him a douchebag. He's doing it in secret. What's up with that? I'll tell you. It's because he wanted to avoid any blowback. He's a vindictive coward that wanted to launder his actions through a racist millionare former pro-wrestler plain and simple.
Silencing America as It Prepares for War
Hope they have patched everything reported and not paid for, because I'm sure there are other parties who would find that information valuable.
I think Reddit has proven over the last decade that they have more limited options then other tech companies because of their engineering ability. Sports threads (NFL playoffs, NBA, MLB, Hockey, Football) up until maybe three years ago would unilaterally crash Reddit's servers or create large amounts of lag across the platform. It has been "solved" in recent years with an absolutely ABSURD amount of caching that is detrimental to the user experience because it will prevent the user from seeing updated content for a few minutes. They have limited streaming functionality that does not make up for this.

They hired their first CTO in 2015 and he seems to be doing a good job. But theirs no silver bullet for a legacy infrastructure especially if you add all the pressure Reddit is receiving to monetize ASAP.
I wish OS upgrades were actually upgrades and not often downgrades. For example, KitKat handled SD card as a 1st class storage, allowing to reinstall apps on an SD card; Lollipop deletes an app from SD card, installs it on the main storage and forces you to manually move it to SD card after each update. I now have >100 pending updates as I am no longer willing to waste time on moving all apps to my 200GB SD card. Now Marshmallow has some silly approach obsoleting internal eMMC with an SD card, of course non-negotiably encrypted with the intent that nobody can extract music, video etc. that might be copyrighted.

Next, Windows Phone 8.1 first removed the option to store HERE Maps on an SD card and 10 removed the app completely, which was about the only appeal to buy a WP device for me before HERE Maps were available on iOS & Android (and the new default map app is an annoying adware).

I am one of those aesthetically unhappy people with flat interfaces - all major OSes shove ugly flatness down my throat. This is a major deal for somebody that has 100% perfect color vision and does professional photography - it's simply unbearable to look at phones these days. The only recluse on Android for me was to install Chinese ULauncher, making Android look like OS X Mavericks, but that phones home way too many things. Not even getting started on Windows 10 nagware which forced me to disable updates completely.

Frankly, I hope Jolla survives (are they backed by HMD now?) and allows me to customize every aspect of my phone instead of accepting more and more restrictions "for my own good". Linux Mint + Sailfish could be a dream combo.

I'm all for avoiding purchases of products that involve child labor. It is worth researching how pervasive that is, because many products manufactured overseas suffer from this problem. It is the main reason I buy into "Made in the USA." Not because I am overly patriotic (I'm not.), but because it improves the odds that child labor was not involved in its production.
The author complains that kids are learning coding tutorials - like angry birds ones on code.org. Having attended my (then 5yo) doing some of these I think the level is about right. Just like we don't force kids to read chapter books without illustrations at that age, 'horses for courses' as they say.

The angry birds type tutorials are a bit too closely lead buy they cover basic variable use and loops and such. They also show the JavaScript produced by the blockly frontend.

The objections seem a bit harsh given the target age ranges - if they're still using only blockly at 15yo then you would be right to worry IMO.
Lets imagine that we create a third way to link software. There is static linking, dynamic linking, and now we got this imagined third thing called adaptive linking. In this made up linker, it magically combines the different parts and uses neural networks (ie, more magic) to figure out how to make the two parts communicate without a API.

Okey, in this fantasy world, do we still have the concept of derivative work? I would say Yes. Would thus GPL still apply? Yes. Is there an API? No.

GPL is not based on the technology of linking. As a software license, it used the concept of derivative work, distribution and other concept in copyright law to define the scope. LGPL in contrast do specify linking technology, but that is only an additional permission which would need to be modify if it were to function with new linking technologies.

If you created a drop-in replacement for readline, the argument that the complete work is readline + some code get weaker. However, if the police finds some emails on your drive that states your intention to combine readline + some code, and then go to copy readline by reimplemented the software in a identical (copy'ish) way, then you might very well be infringing on the right of the readline authors. It depend what a judge/jury think your intentions was.
Amazing that this is becoming a regular-sh occurrence. Have they announced when they might try re-using one of these rockets? I wonder if the folks putting their payload on will get some sort of discount. I suppose that is the long term strategy.. to lower the price. I wonder if that price discount is already factored into the launch price -- after all they are still sort of a "start-up"

AES and SHA-3 were the products of highly-regarded contests, and DES was invented by IBM, so the NSA/NIST monoculture idea might need a re-think.
The problem I have with it is I've seen third party affiliates do incredibly shady stuff. Companies like Amazon, Google, Reddit, do shady stuff too, but they at least have some interest in keeping a good public image. Third-party companies however live in the shadow and could give two fucks how far they push user privacy protections, if they even give them any credence in the first place.
No. The better option is to just block facebook everywhere, including direct access.

Just my humble opinion.
> It sounds like you don't have a good understanding of state vs props.

I think I've got a decent understanding, but I'm sure it could be better, and am heartened to think as it gets better these problems will go away.

> You should use state as little as possible and try to do as much as possible through props, passing them down from the parent components as necessary.

But yes, I've arrived at as little state and as many props as possible. The challenge for me here is that this ends up resulting in components that look to me (based on previous OO experience) like they have TERRIBLE API's, requiring way too many props. My instinct from OO is that a _smaller_ exposed API makes things more portable, but you suggest that "If you define a lot of stuff in the state of the component then the component isn't as portable." Nonetheless, I have moved toward more-props less-state, but....

ALSO this has meant for me that when I need to move or re-use a component from one part of the hieararchy to another, I often end up needing to completely rework the props of a BUNCH of other components, so the right prop can be passed down to my now-moved component -- that's what I mean by 'requiring cascading changes'.

I will bet lots of places in the enterprise, which didn't care how Solaris was developed in first place, and were already Sun customers before they open sourced it.
Digital privacy is bigger in the news right now, it's on every countries agenda and to put the icing on the cake an example like affiliate tags is something that's trivial explain to non-technical people.

When a social media (always in the media) site that's well known starts tracking user links and proving that to any third parties - the argument from reddit will be that it's A) Anonymous and B) Secure - both of which are hot topics which are quickly starting starting to be disassembled by the general public - undoubtedly reddit will either be wrapped up in it which could be financially costly or publicisd and will likely turn off users.

Seems like a very odd time to be making a move like this.
It's inefficient to specify a large number of hosts in the facebook.com domain instead of blocking the whole domain.

For this, you can run dnsmasq and use the "--address" option or "address" command in dnsmasq.conf:

$ man dnsmasq
[...]
-A, --address=/<domain>/[domain/]<ipaddr>
Specify an IP address to return for any host in the given
domains. Queries in the domains are never forwarded and always
replied to with the specified IP address which may be IPv4 or
IPv6. To give both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a domain, use
repeated -A flags. Note that /etc/hosts and DHCP leases over‐
ride this for individual names. A common use of this is to redi‐
rect the entire doubleclick.net domain to some friendly local
web server to avoid banner ads. The domain specification works
in the same was as for --server, with the additional facility
that /#/ matches any domain. Thus --address=/#/1.2.3.4 will
always return 1.2.3.4 for any query not answered from /etc/hosts
or DHCP and not sent to an upstream nameserver by a more spe‐
cific --server directive.

I have no idea why everyone thinks this is doing something unusual. Using lawsuits to stifle free speech is commonplace.

For example, using lawsuits to stifle climate skepticism: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-04-08/subpoenae...

Hillary Clinton was famous for shutting down free speech - her critics had to go all the way to the supreme Court to protect their right to criticize politicians (see citizens united).

I dislike PayPal immensely but picking on Thiel for defending someone whose sex tape was released without their consent is sad.

Yeah you definitely need Redux or another state management solution. One of the unorthodox practices React encourages (through the Flux architecture) is to have 'global' state that components can access without passing down props all the time. Currently I limit setState usage to things that only the current component cares about, like if a button is disabled. Every event that may affect another component dispatches an update to the Redux store which holds the global state object.

I think this is a great attempt by Reddit to become sustainable that isn't purely based on display advertising.

I personally dislike affiliate links just like most others but unlike ads they don't ruin my browsing experience and are generally very transparent.

The real issue here in my opinion is how this was announced, as a "we're doing this, FYI". I'd instead open up a discussion with mods of large communities to get feedback and once they understand the goal get them to show support.

And if they had gone the route of involving large communities they could have also done a tiny rev share, similar to how YouTube compensates content creators.
Ghostery only works with the web browser. Other apps would be free to continue to embed such links or assets from those locations (and based off my own use of a hosts file, it's more common than I'd like to admit).

Having been diagnosed with Parkinson's 15 years ago at age 36, I today still have no mental limitations and I can concentrate the same way as I could before the diagnosis (as has been tested several times by neurologists). Among other tasks, I am still programming and leading development teams. It seems to me that programming is the ideal job for someone with Parkinson's since one can do it independent of the fact that some motoric skills such as walking are reduced or one's voice is not so crystal clear anymore. I learned from my own experience that an illness or handicap does not mean to drop out of the professional world, in contrary I made very good experiences with ill/handicapped colleagues and employees since they are usually very dedicated. The most important thing from my view is to address any and all issues related to such a condition in an open, respectful manner so that your ill colleague does not feel pressed to hide problems and ask for help concerning things like commuting to work etc. (sorry for my inelegant English, it is not my mother tongue).
As much as I'd like to see an "underdog" win the VR wars I think the Space race to market is a very small part of the battle. Facebook will be able to market non-gaming apps much better then gaming companies, imo, and so don't necessarily have to be first, just eventually get close to parity (which is inevitable).
I created Godwin's Law in 1990 as a warning
I'd like to add a me too comment, but with another thought about historical build health. It's not that I don't find it useful, but I'd rather see it along with my other metrics rather than included in the UI of my CI tool. If Jenkins could be used as a Grafana source or were able to export build metrics to Influx/Prometheus, people could use existing tooling/dashboards to display build health over time while keeping the main Jenkins UI clean and focused on the current state of the builds.

Also, and I apologize if this is no longer how the Jenkins weather indicators work, but the last time I used Jenkins, the weather indicators were based on the number of failed builds, not the time the build wasn't green. For me, the number of failed builds is far less interesting than the amount of time that the build was failing. If a developer scrambles with three checkins in 15 minutes that attempt to fix the build and the third one succeeds, that's a better situation than a developer who takes a more measured approach that fixes the build four hours later on the first checkin. The first developer might have created a slightly messier commit history, but the second developer blocked the entire team for half a day. Taking the view that historical build information is really time series data would, to me, be much more insightful.

Why should we? The state seems to be handling that one pretty well.

Of course, now that it exists, I live in one of those states which will likely make it mandatory to purchase, because someone, somewhere in the legislature or one of their cronies, will make obscene amounts of money off of it.
