You're right, but you're also thinking way too big-picture were saving face and corruption play a daily role. You're missing the crazy chaos that happens on a daily basis on a small scale - which is both positive and negative. This same friend for instance decided to open up a restaurant. It's on rooftop area with a few other bars.

It's zoned as residential property but that's not stopping anyone. In general, as long as you're not bothering anything no one cares about any regulations (again, on the small scale. If you you're big and have money and people want to fuck you over then there is no escaping it. On paper this is a socialist system and they have the laundry list of regulation to back it up).

He doesn't get permits to build walls, to put in a bar, to tear out half the place and put in something completely new. There is no health inspection, liquor license or firesafety inspection. It's basically, go rent a property, hire a bunch of people to do the manual labor, remodel and you're cookin'!

In a way the little guy has a leg up on all the commercial chains that do have to follow the rules

And everything in China kinda works like that. No months of planning, chasing investors, getting permits, getting licenses pussy-footing around and figuring out your supply chain. They just go and do it. It's the bootstrapper's dream.

Along the way some walls collapse and some people get food poisoning, but this place is changing at a astronomical rate. You can't contain it
Session files of tabs are also better than bookmarks since they save per-tab history so you can see how you arrived somewhere.

The per-tab process switch is bad for users like us (I have 300+ tabs right now) but what is even worse in FF48 is the implementation of a walled garden for extensions.
Boundary can kinda do it. AppDynamics can but doesn't work well with over a couple of thousand nodes. Companies internally have built things to do this at the method-depends-on-remote-service level to visualize/analyze up and down-stream dependencies but I haven't seen anything open source. I was thinking of doing the same at the Rack level for ruby apps.

China harvests organs from people who belong to a rather wacky religion[1]. That's pretty bad, and I think counts as getting killed for something minor.

With thousands and thousands of startups competing for your attention, it's not that easy!

In many markets, there are several well-funded startups that can afford to spend millions on marketing. That makes it even harder to get visibility as a bootstrapper.
It depends on what is meant by truth. It appears that Snopes decided the that the "no flags at the DNC" was false, but the C-SPAN evidence show that at times there were no flags on display. The whole issue is politicized asshattery, but Snopes decided that since at times there were flags, the whole issue was false leading a reader to believe there were always flags on display.

Hat's off to Politifact for staying detached and reasonable, instead of partisan and pedantic.

At most companies tech lead means someone who is planning the technical work of a team, but is not the manager. The tech lead is an engineer. So that company has separated manager and tech leadership. Google works this way. There are some groups at google where someone does both tech lead and manager, they call that person the TLM.
Someone has sent a pull request to do just that, so it'll probably be fixed soon. Off-topic a bit, but I'm surprised it is on github and not launchpad. Having it on launchpad would stop all this pesky collaboration ;-)

Bitcoin Price Plummets 20% Following Major Breach at Bitfinex Exchange
yeah, thats still not easy (or trivial, its not hard) for larger projects.

I use environment variables for smaller projects, i have predefined environment variables for the images that get substituted for the real thing by docker compose, which in turn uses environment variables (here is an example: https://github.com/intellimate/Server/blob/master/image/comp...).

For larger projects i would use docker-swarm or kubernets, they have their own solution.

> they're actually just libraries, not framework's, you can just pull in the parts you need and work off of those

Yes, that's the good part about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased with React for what it does. However, I only see it as a piece that does one certain thing (UI components), but still needs a lot of other pieces to make a whole.

I've actually first used it exactly this way - to just animate what previously was a static server-processed <form>. Much less work, compared to what I'd have to do if I'd wanted to use some large framework (and bend to its way of doing all things). Still, I was quite confused, as React got marketed as a sort of panacea, and when I started to actually learn what it does, I found out it's essentially just an UI library and I need other pieces for my project.

> I think React is a concept

Aha! I see your point then.

To me it's different. I see React just as glorified and fancy templating system evolution that can update the rendered object DOM in a smart way (rather than how it's with, e.g., Mustache where you have to discard the whole tree and place a new one over), properly preserving the DOM nodes and their internal states.

It really looks like an evolution to me:

- First, we had, e.g. Mustache (and myriad of others). They had one global template-wide state and rendered to a monolithic string without nodes.

- Then came Backbone (and then Angular) that had layered states. A monolith broken to pieces. Not yet atoms, though.

- Then came React and every node had its internal state, nicely propagated through the tree. To me it seems like a logical evolution. I'm not saying it's any trivial or an obvious step (it must've required a lot of effort to come with a nice implementation that React is), but not something ground-breaking either.

Then there's Redux that does some FRP state transformations. But to me it's not React, as it doesn't even really depend on it (although very few use it otherwise, and even those who do probably do so only as proof-of-concept "hey, look, I can use it with [e.g.] Vue!").

Then there's, say, Immutable.js that does data structures that play nicely with FRP. Or, say, various communication libraries (ranging from jQuery.ajax and whatwg-fetch to Restful.js or Socket.IO). To me, such things are certainly not part of React. That's why I was surprised at "React" doing "everything".

Guess, it's just a terminology issue then. Seems that many just call everything "React"...
Isn't sex over-rated though? Obviously it is the funnest activity evolution has ever given us but the associated social/resource costs ruin it. From a Millenial's perspective, previous generations have put sex on a pedestal because there were few better things for them to pass the time with. Now we not only have sexual agency(toys + porn) but we also have the world's information and media at our fingertips.

I know it isn't the intention of the well-done article but the premise does feel like the jock making fun of the nerd who simply has different priorities and better things to do.

I wish these statistics cared less about generational changes and tried to plot sex-drive changes for everyone by decade. I'm sure we'd see it plummet after widespread acceptance of the internet and discrete shipping.

They acknowledge this in their blog post: https://telegram.org/blog/15million-reuters

It's part of their contacts API, where you submit the numbers you have in your contacts list and they let you know which numbers already have a telegram account.

They have since added rate limiting to prevent brute forcing it, but it sounds like the API itself is still available.
First, it's unlikely that they wrote the blog software. Second, a critique should be based on the merits of the content, not the person delivering it.

(Well, I don't really agree with him, but his opinion seems to be popular here).

>In my circles, a normal first date is somewhere casual in public where you can sit for a while, like a Starbucks or Panera, or equivalent coffeehouse in countries where coffeehouses actually exist.

You mean like the US? If you're in any kind of decent city, there's plenty of nice coffee shops which aren't Starbucks. If the only coffee shops around are Starbucks, you're living in a shithole.

I usually propose to meet at non-Starbucks coffee shops for my first dates too. It's nice because even if the date is a bust (as it always is...), I now know of a new coffee shop.

>Is it truly a common sentiment that dates are too bothersome to make them worthwhile?

I really don't know because I don't hang out with Millenials that young (that guy in the article was only 18 IIRC), but I kinda doubt it. I think that guy was just a freak. He talked about how he just likes to sit at home in front of his computer with 3 different screens showing 3 different things at once (video game, movie, other) and focus on making money. I really don't think that's normal, I think the article's author managed to find one of the weirdest people possible and then try to present him as representative of all younger Millenials.

"this is clearly a Clinton smear job using snopes as a vehicle."

Which statements in particular are incorrect?

On the contrary, from what I read they go out of their way to note that criminal defendants have the right to a vigorous defense, and that there was nothing unethical about Hillary providing one.

"Now, as I explained here, there was nothing wrong, unethical or hypocritical about Clinton’s work in this case. Her laughter in the interview is a little unsettling, but Hillary’s laughter is often unsettling. She did her job as a defense lawyer. The accusation that what she did was unethical is ignorant..."

They are objecting to the Snopes spin, not the actions of Clinton herself.

Edit to include the salient point:

The original assertion was that "Hillary Clinton successfully defended an accused child rapist and later laughed about the case".

Snopes rates this "mostly false", when it appears to actually be 100% true.

One of the short term advantages of an authoritarian state is that problems can be swept under the rug and hidden. In the longer term, it becomes far more difficult or perhaps even impossible to fix the real problem.

I think one of the better explanations I have heard about the network effect (most recently explained by Reid Hoffman, although probably have heard it from others) is the big advantage occurs when a successful start up goes in to the scaling phase. Many people feel or say SF/SV sucks, its too expensive, I can do the same thing somewhere else, etc. and for almost everyone that is probably correct.

It appears some of their assertions are correct, if the response disproportional. The inability to see gray area is typically a large part of the problem in a lot of political discussions, and the blogosphere is always the worst when it comes to painting something nuanced as black or white.

I have no idea why I'm responding to this.
If you're stupid enough to think that blog software reflects on the contents of the blog, then you're likely not going have the critical thinking capacity to evaluate any of these criticisms anyway.

I am talking about a single page app with multiple sections, each with multiple pages using nested reusable components. Bonus points for solutions for performance, server-side rendering, nested routing, state management, data flow.

There's a HUGE difference between confidence in yourself, and confidence in your process. Every process needs a healthy dose of skepticism, because it's simply not possible to handle all angles. That's why in construction there are inspectors. You WILL miss things; that's a given. That has NO bearing on your self-worth, and has nothing to do with self-confidence unless you let it.

Confidence in yourself, that you'll reach your goals and succeed despite any fuck ups, well that's a good thing.

"Every source of information is tainted when it comes to topics where political interests play a role."

This times 100. Politics tends to cover things that aren't readily testable in scientifically repeatable ways. So decisions must be made on principles or ideologies which shade every topic. And since people are now basing their decisions on unprovable "facts" or claims, the line becomes fuzzy on what to believe and not to believe. So people tend to believe what reinforces what they already believe.

Incidentally I added an edit to Wikipedia for Clinton's current VP pick Tim Kaine (before he was picked). Essentially his page has a bunch of his policies positions for big issues (LGBTQ, Abortion, Environment, etc), I added another one for his position on Gun Rights/Gun Control, fully cited, and really unbiased (neither for or against him, just raw facts).

A mod came along, simply said "astroturfing" and removed it. I spend a decent chunk of time creating content, citing it, and a mod can just wipe it out without any real justification. All because they didn't want anything which could be seen as negative before he was picked as VP.

The section has since been re-added with all of the same information by someone else, but it is the principle of the thing, that a mod didn't allow it at a politically inconvenient time and when it fell out of the spotlight it was allowed again.
Speaking as someone who uses Google Docs at work, I am delighted that LO 5.2 works seamlessly with Google Drive and two-factor authentication.

Because Google Docs' word processor and spreadsheet are absolutely terrible for anything beyond the basics, and unlike GDocs, LO can decode OOXML with pretty good fidelity. Everyone goes on about LO and OOXML - you'll see a standard troll comment elsewhere on this HN post - but nobody ever mentions what a hash GDocs makes of even quite basic OOXML. I keep having to open email attachments with LO instead.

I'd assume that the drone would deliver from a truck to the front door. Combine that with a self-driving truck and you've got substantial cost and time savings:

- truck not having to stop on the same street, just within fly distance of destination

- truck can move while drones are in-flight

- etc
> Is it just a case that no one cares about this sort of thing on that project?

I don't personally care. For me, the use case of LibreOffice is to view and sometimes edit Microsoft Office files sent by others, or to be sent to others. The UI is good enough for that (not quite as good as Word 5.1 for Macintosh, but good enough), and so I'm happy enough.

For any actual document that I care about, I'm going to use emacs, and the format I'll be working with will be LaTeX, org-mode, Markdown, HTML, plain text &c. &c. &c.

For any actual data manipulation that I care about, I'm going to use emacs and Common Lisp, Python, shell, awk, Perl, R &c. &c. &c.

It's entirely possible that if I wanted to live in an office suite that LibreOffice wouldn't be good enough, but — I don't want to live in an office suite.
