I use the React-Relay-GraphQL combination. I think it's cool, but I don't like that the ecosystem of these tools encourages cargo cult.

The pattern could be called "social proof sophistry". It first involves social proof:

- the reputation of a known figure or organization
- marketing techniques
- blog posts from converts

and then, here is the clincher, needless complexity is added:

- fragmented subsystems
- sophistry / obfuscation in documentation
- increasing boilerplate by not establishing patterns

What these factors do is increase the level of time and energy required to get to square one. People are prepared to devote these resources due to social proof.

What happens when people devote time and energy? The become committed. By the time people get to a simple prototype they have already sunk enough effort into it that they would feel foolish for not continuing.

They invest further resources and speak positively about the framework in order to feel consistent. They might even feel like writing a half-informed blog post just to feel ahead of the crowd, which further increases the social proof + obfuscation.
Well, that's good news. thank you for checking, I stand corrected.
My Yamaha R6 ($12k CAD brand new) was backed into by a car and the damage was mostly cosmetic but the parts and labour to fix it all still ended up at $9k.

The problem is that paying for parts and parts replacement piece by piece is significantly more expensive than buying a new bike (or a car) as a whole.
First, some of the "knowledge" is deep, that is, has prerequisites, and getting through the prerequisites can use some guidance, help, etc., say, in high school, college, and graduate schools.

Next, finding the material on the Internet, say, 1 trillion or so Web pages, is too often from difficult to much worse. My startup is intended to help with that.

Gawker Media files for bankruptcy in wake of costly Hulk Hogan lawsuit
Recently (maybe the past ~6mo or so) I've noticed that when I start pasting logs/errors/tcpdump into Google, it is now especially suspicious that I'm making automated queries and makes my IP solve a captcha.

I doubt my lack of a Google login and random UA spoofing does anything to help this, though.
Eventually we will want to do updates, unless you prefer bugs to not. When we do, we'll need strategies to tame the quadratic space blowup caused by lack of sharing across the dependency tree relative to the current model.
The hilarity, as pointed out by Lord Hesseltine on Any Questions this week, is that around half the immigrants to the UK come from outside the EU (it's a 50/50 split with 180k each). The EU has no control over them, and even if we totally blocked EU migration the government would still be 600% over its target.
Not really sure what you mean with those examples.
Gawker has declared bankruptcy
No, because (under the condition I described), the size of the award increases much slower than the investment, so it quickly becomes a losing proposition; the gain in award is exceeded by the loss in expenditures (assuming the bounds on legal costs awarded are bounded by a slower function).

Under that condition, each doubling of the amount spent on influencing the outcome (via payments expert witnesses, bribes to the judge, discovery, etc) would only yield the same gain in revenues from the court. So for example, if you start with $1000, then doubling to $2000 might yield $1500, doubling to $2000 with only yield $1500 more on top of that, and so on.

(I agree an exponential difference might be two hard; I'd be happy for even a quadratic difference!)

Uh, if I play a game ("electronic service or account") and send someone else a message in chat ("instant and text message") then I'm pretty damn sure that is covered under that legislation. However, IANAL.

I guess "being sleazy" means you don't care about data privacy then huh?
Yes, I'm fully aware that OpenSSL is an excellent piece of software, well certified... Then, are the updates to OpenSSL FIPS certified... sometimes certifications expire for updates to things.

TBH, the certifications seem like they are mostly a con to push bad quality to ignorant people. I think if I was securing Ubuntu, I'd be analyzing it based on threat models for the organization, then derive the specified behavior based upon that; only then would the manuals for the software come out. Analyze based on the needs of the enterprise I am involved in... Maybe this is too much a hacker attitude, but I really don't see why you start with certs or even care. Better to have a trusted firm evaluate for your organization IMO.
It took me a long time to figure out what might be wrong with that. Wow!

It was, I recall the exact quote with "cozy" and "charming".
Did you miss the word equivalent in the statement you quoted? That's kind of the key word.

OK. Imagine this...

You photograph an event at an exclusive venue that you won't get access to again, with a setup you can't replicate (ever), with famous guests you'll never see again and a world famous VIP as the main subject.

Oh and to boot, the client wants total confidentiality. No photo use for portfolios whatsoever.

Seems just like the restrictions a programmer might face right? An infrastructure you can't replicate, code you can't publish, resources you won't have access too etc etc...

This was some years ago now and I've left photography behind but how did I ever get to do that job in the first place? Created stuff myself, off my own back, unpaid and at great time expense that showed I had the level of skill and ability to do it. I chased other photographers, contributed time and talent to their projects and made stuff myself.

And when the clients came looking I could show from my prior work and portfolio that I could do what they needed.

And what did I do afterwards? Took inspiration from what I saw at this event and made additions to my portfolio that showed I could solve the kind of challenges I faced there, proving to subsequent customers that new skill. I didn't just say 'oh dear, I can't use this so that was a total loss, let's not do anything about it.' I went out and made new stuff that showed equivalent skill, not recreating the photo, proving the skill.

Maybe I'm not being clear enough or maybe there's a misunderstanding of what type/level of photography I'm referring to so I'll state it plainly:

Photography was just an analogy. The key is you're not taking the original work that you did if it's restricted, the key is creating something that shows equivalent skill. Remember, I already said that as a creative you're selling yourself, not the end product, so you're not trying to recreate the particulars of the exact photo/code but demonstrate you have the skill/ability to create something of equivalent difficulty.

Need to prove you can run a big project? Well, run one. Do one yourself or join another. Find a way. Don't throw up a barrier every time something seems difficult or hard. It's meant to be hard. It might take a long time. Deal with it and get it done. That's what I'm saying.

People will tell you you're getting taken advantage of and doing too much for too little right up until you're working for some global mega corps running some incredible team, earning massive bucks and all that stuff. They'll keep telling you it until you believe it. Or you can ignore them and just keep going, keep making something to show what you can do and keep chasing the jobs you want with that big backing of proof of your ability that you've got.
Also, there's absolutely no way that the 328i is the most expensive BMW model. It's probably the most reliable (and highest volume) model sold in the US, and maintenance is cheap compared to the M-model and V8/V12 cars that BMW sells.

Edit: apologies, meant to reply to OP, not here. To parent, I already upvote your comment - it's pretty cool, but also scary that we now have conversations about whether we're being surveiled by our government (in the US) as a casual normality. The only difference that appears to remain is that we openly talk about our government surveiling us. I worry they'll attempt put a stop to that too eventually.
It happens. My Wife's car needed a new intake plenum (it was an Mazda, not a BMW) $750. I priced for my Ford Fusion: $150 for a manifold.

The author does a decent job describing the suburbian plight, but doesn't delve into the reasons why deep enough. An older article ascribes suburbian development to peculiarities of US economic policy:

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/urbs/the-conservative...

"The sad reality is that, despite the marketing, the suburbs were never about creating household wealth; they were about creating growth on the cheap. They were born under a Keynesian regime that counted growth from government spending as equivalent to that coming from private investment. Aggressive horizontal expansion of our cities allowed us to consistently hit federal GDP and unemployment targets with little sophistication and few difficult choices.

That we were pawning off the enormous long-term liabilities for serving and maintaining all of these widely dispersed systems onto local taxpayers–after plying municipalities with all the subsidies, pork spending, and ribbon cuttings needed to make it happen–didn’t seem to enter our collective consciousness. When all those miles of frontage roads, sewer and water pipes, and sidewalks fall into disrepair–as they inevitably will in every suburb–very little of it will be fixed. The wealth necessary to do so just isn’t there."
Of course I realise, the usernames are literally right there. I was just saying I'm out of the conversation as I've laboured the point too long. As you say, a post here is a post to the community, so I was addressing the community - saying someone else can take the last word if they wish, I've gone on too long.
I would sum it up in a similar fashion. Another point that should be taken into consideration is that the industry is not really interested in software, and therefore most stuff will be done as it was always done. And now that everything should be based on Autosar (a standardized C-based OS and Giga-framework specification) chances are even lower that anybody looks at saner alternatives.

Rust won't change anything about this, if there would have been interest in changing the situation other alternatives like Ada would have been available for years.
The idea of your technique is good, but I think you've left out important details and it has affected your analysis. Gawker was bankrupted not by the actual costs of defending themselves, but by the cost of a judgement against them.

If your assumptions are that Bollea's was a legitimate victim of Gawker's actions, and that we would need to protect the EFF from a similar outcome, it seems to be that what you're saying is that we need to prevent victims from winning court cases because the perpetrators who harmed them might be otherwise good people.

Doesn't matter; you're interacting with real people.

"So the hostility doesn't have any of the harm that we associate with real-world hostility, but occurs within a video game that is modeled on hostility... and I'm not supposed to be hostile?"

No. You're supposed to be a grown up. Especially if you work for the company making the game, and are a public representative of that company.
It has an extremely awful horrible toxic community, even in a genre of games which is rife with toxic communities. (And seems almost designed, IMO, to encourage such behavior-- since one person doing poorly on a team leads directly to the opposing team getting stronger.)

Yep, I've owned 2. Both used, both sold, in good running condition, when they were ten years old. Neither required expensive maintenance. Neither was in the shop, other than for an underbody shield which got damaged by debris.

Anecdotes.
Being the first isn't always an advantage - there's a nice Harvard Business Review research piece [1] into this. They broke innovation down into 'Market Led', where you create a solution the market wants/needs, and 'Technology Led', where your innovation is novel but the customer needs to be educated. The First Mover Advantage only applied in Market Led situations - for Technology Led solutions, the first mover had to invest heavily in educating the market which subsequent competitors benefited from (without having to make that investment themselves).

Applying this to your bugs and first impression: I would posit that if your product clearly met a market need, some customers would have been willing to work around those issues. If not, then you were educating/convincing them that this innovation was worthwhile and their lack of desire would have made your flaws harder to work around.

Reid Hoffman's great quote was that if you're not embarrassed by your first product version then you launched too late. What I would focus on is whether your potential customers are super clear about the problem they have, and whether you are super clear about how you solve that problem. If it's not a massive need for the market, that's ok, just be aware that your rollout process will take longer and cost more as you invest in educating them. Good luck!

Ford took a loan. Ford got an interest rate that a normal citizen couldn't get, clearly there was special treatment. But it's not like we handed them 9 billion dollars. It seemed like banks were freaking out in 2009, and really wouldn't give a loan at any interest rate. Assuming a sane banking structure, where it was possible to get a loan, 1% on 5.6 billion is around 50 million a year.

"bailout" is a fairly fuzzy term. If the banking system was working, there would have been no need for DOE loans. There was also the benefit of improved milage, thereby reducing carbon emissions. This seems like the sort of thing the DOE does anyway, and wouldn't raise eyebrows in a sane banking environment. I think by your meaning of "bailout" student loans are also a bailout.

On the other hand, GM and Chrysler went bankrupt. They sold secured assets to new GM and new Chrysler and, i believe, gave investors quite a haircut.

The kind of stuff you can afford to do only when you're a US citizen and thus not a potential victim of some arbitrary US custom officer deciding you can't come in anymore and have no appeal.

What I'm saying is, if you're not a US citizen, don't participate in those kinds of actions. The problems these campaigns highlight are real, but being foreigners, we have no legal recourses in the US in many areas, and can end up seriously fucking up our lives.

Also it'd be nice if US folks sharing those links and encouraging actions of the kind could be considerate of non-US people who don't necessarily have the leisure of getting on all kinds of list.
Yes, but it means they can be done in the background without disrupting the workflow as much.

I wish I could see the original video. I watched the new one where he's edited out the infringing content. It was very good. However, if he was using the infringing music in the same way that he was using music in the new one I can see why he's facing an issue. All of the music in the video I watched was used as a music bed. It wasn't subject to his analysis or criticism except for a brief mention at the end of the video. On that note, I hope he's received permission to use the remaining music. Many people don't realize that the performance and recording of a classical music score may be copyrighted even though the score itself could be in the public domain.

Both games are awful. Compare them to, say, SMITE. Which is still awful by the standards of any genre other than MOBA, but is far better than both LOL and DOTA2.

But I think the general consensus is that LOL is worse.

Both are bad enough that I stopped playing them very quickly. SMITE I stuck with significantly longer.

Eh, you're not gonna get 10 or 40Gbps over most FTTH installs. Most run GPON with beam splitters which maxes out at 2.5Gbps/line. To get 10/40/100 you need OS1/2 singlemode or OM3/4 multimode fiber which I've never seen used in residential/small business FTTP setups.

For all the entrepreneurs looking for a problem to solve, here it is: Create a company/product that automates legal services (start with the niche case for defending against Patent Trolls): then offer it as a service, say with a flat fee. If the cost of this service is on the order of hundreds of dollars, say less than 500$, it should solve the problem of frivolous law suits. This sub-niche is huge!
Wrong. All of those require wealth first. That wealth will be spent on shiny trinkets before pension, house, or children.
It's kind of crazy to think of it this way- most cars on the list have one engine to think about.

But the car with the lowest maintenance cost- the Toyota Prius, which had the full gas engine system PLUS an electric battery+motor, and the complexities managing the two together. Truly remarkable. Toyota should be really proud.
