Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus is also just north of the 101 Shoreline Blvd exit - currently, it and LinkedIn HQ are only about 1 mile apart, possibly within walking distance. If and when this deal goes through, this won't be the case anymore, and so LinkedIn will be isolated from other Microsoft offices.

I guess it is too early for LinkedIn to be making decisions as part of Microsoft...
In what way does this invalidate what I wrote, which, if I have to make it even plainer, is:

If you're serving to mobile phones in third world countries [and you're concerned with React's size], then you can always NOT use React.

Apparently Facebook is not concerned with that, or doesn't consider it a problem for third world networks.

But for those people that complain about React's size and third world usage, they do know that there are tons of lighterweight options, right?
No doubt about that.
> Because humans, without regulation, don't value vehicle safety. Gotcha.

Basically. Humans are horrible at cost/benefit calculations on an abstract level that may not directly affect them for years or even ever on an individual scale. I've known people who won't wear seatbelts because someone they know got trapped by one in a freak accident, despite overwhelming statistical evidence that's a dumb approach. The industry also has a long history of fighting regulations that require safety features but make cars more expensive.

> Last month, Ford proposed weakening the transportation department's 1984 rule in exchange for faster introduction of air bags in its cars. The company offered to install the bags on the driver's side of a majority of its cars by the 1990 model year if the department would drop its requirement that the front seats of all cars be equipped by then with automatic or so-called passive belts, designed to restrain the passenger as the car door closes.

> A Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard proposes that all vehicles made after January 1, 1973, include an automatic restraint system, i.e., air bags or automatic belts. The auto industry, knowing that it would have to increase production costs to meet the new standard, balks, leading to a decade of argument and delay.

This is clearly true, but the scenarios in which it becomes a problem vary. In an isolated case of data loss/corruption that leaves the title to your home up in the air, there would be other sources of data to appeal to (records at lenders who had paper on the property, etc.) In more apocalyptic scenarios, even your on-hand physical assets won't be good for much (you can't eat gold).

I still contend that the availability/unavailability of health insurance was not the problem that needed solving. Instead, it's one of many symptoms that can be attributed to the unreasonable cost of healthcare, which has escalated in part because of the disassociation between the actual billing and payment. Insurance is similar in concept to chips as a casino in this -- by creating distance from the actual cash transaction, people are less likely to question the cost of something because it doesn't have a direct impact on their wallet.

I removed that part of my comment, as I thought it was not relevant to the specific point.

As the US population ages, more and more people will be on Medicare [1]. This increases its power, and removes almost entirely the likelihood it would be scaled back.

We will eventually have no choice but to move to single payer, as the cracks in the current model (dictated by the ACA) are already forming.

Thanks for calling out what it is but you might get down voted here.

11 thousand pages of new regulations can not be called reform. It is unbelievable how this new giant piece of regulation is even termed as "reform".

The reform in US healthcare could have been destroying the monopoly of AMA over supply of doctors, getting rid of complex procedures for prescription medicine, downsizing FDA and giving more flexibility to doctors to determine quality of service for day to day medical care.

I do not agree with "crony capitalism" part however. The Obama Labyrinth of Healthcare Mess is soviet style big government in action. It does not do good to pharma-companies, insurance companies, doctors or patients. All big insurance companies had to exit in few years from the government insurance exchanges.
Plus one on this. Switching to full screen (on a mac) should just go into "presentation" mode and show only the slide.

You could do that before ACA.

> instead of being chained to a 8-5 corporate job

What does this lifestyle choice have to do with ACA? ACA doesn't somehow give you free time or extra money. Unless you are getting your insurance for free (which was possible before ACA, mind you). ACA often does not offer the cheapest plans either...

And I can guarantee absolutely that purchasing power is not the be all end all, and that leaving it all to the free market and "if I want X, it's my choice" creates more issues than it solves. For example, nobody labelling what they sell as X (but as X+, the better variety), without legislation to prevent them.

And the same argument goes to BS like avoiding vaccination and people teaching Creative Design to their kids.
It simply mandates everyone buys insurance. It does not mandate affordable care. Does it matter if you buy insurance if your deductible is $6000 and you never seek medical help until its too late (because you can't afford the copay(s))?

You fix that by having a more informed population. You can do this in multiple ways, but primarily the fight is in breaking the stranglehold of the mass media by popularising news outlets with more in-depth and clear analyses of the issues we face. It's not an impossible fight, it's one we can make a difference in. If you don't believe things will change, then step back and let people who are willing to make a difference put in the work to do it for you.
Not very big at the moment. They would never relocate from Redmond but a satellite office (from my naive uninformed perspective) isn't out of the question.

Just mind that the tools and services around Lambda are getting better, but you will certainly be a relatively early-adopter. It will undoubtedly result in some extra time spent learning, but you'll also eliminate a number of critical operational concerns and concerns about scale.

Mind that Lambda will not handle state for you, functions are stateless. You'll need to store state into hosted services like DynamoDB, Firebase, S3, etc... or stand up (micro)services that manage that state (say, a PostgreSQL database in Docker, saving to an EBS volume).

$1.3 trillion that the continent is projected to spend
in 2020.

Please don't use statistics like this. The combined consumer spending of a continent (54 separate countries, I think) is not really a fair portrayal of the opportunity. The linked source notes that $200bn is projected to be discretionary, which is closer to being relevant (as discretionary spending is largely the target of advertisers.)

The real question, which that metric may have been trying to address, is the purchasing power of the average consumer.

From 1993 to 2008 the average per capita income of sub-Saharan
African economies barely budged—it increased from $742 to $762
per year (measured in 2005 purchasing-power parity-adjusted dollars).
If we exclude South Africa and the Seychelles, we see a decline from
$608 to $556 over the period.[0]

For individual spending that small, you (an company making money from ads) either need:

a) Companies who have incredible operations to sell at scale across the continent, given the low average customer value (e.g. Coca-Cola)

b) Many companies, each tackling local markets, that you (or an underlying ad network) can reach effectively at scale

Are there examples of large corporate ad buys from (a) or an underlying network for (b) in Africa?

Certainly the Sedition Act's repression of free speech was not restricted to, nor primarily targeting, non-citizens; it principally targeted domestic dissent. (The first prosecution under that act -- or any of the Alien and Sedition Acts -- was of an opposition-party Congressman for writings critical of the administration.)

Not that "worst for American citizens" was the original claim, anyway.
The failure of giant Google to influence zoning in it's tiny home town shows that money does not control politics as much as some think.
It also allows us to pool money and average it in case unknown and expensive procedures are required. We also want to encourage people to get cheaper preventative care instead of avoiding it due to short-term costs. Insurance programs benefit from incentivizing that behavior as much as ordinary people do.

Interesting that you seem to be like me in wanting people to find their own path instead of influencing them in one direction too much. My meta is that this gives them more ownership over their chosen path, from which they'll potentially derive more pleasure and more meaning :)

Yes, actually, FM is very much the opposite of the Internet, in that you can broadcast as hard as you want, and its up to the recipient to tune in and get the signal. At a mass scale, FM is pretty efficient if you need to get an emergency message out.

TCP/IP, however, requires the active cooperation and participation (and ultimately: control) of each node in between you and the site of interest. It takes mass team-work to make TCP/IP happen; it is automated cooperation at a bit level. Bits travel well, when its all plugged in.

When things are not plugged in, we could still be using FM to receive information/music/entertainment, etc. FM is more resilient to the fragilities of the Internet.

The problem is, some of the Bits are owned by Operators. The owning and moderation of some of those Bits, in fact, involves a lot of Operators.

Apple cater to them, the Operators. Not the owners of FM Broadcast equipment...
