"One of the short term advantages of an authoritarian state is that problems can be swept under the rug and hidden."

Is this in reference to China? Because in that case it's quite clearly false. There's cartoon level inequality in China. You literally see 19 year old guys in Ferraris, which they can barely drive, go past 55 year old ladies sorting trash on the sidewalk. The redeeming quality, except being hard to ignore, is that China is changing rapidly. Few knows what will happen, but it seems clear that it at least won't be the same.

I feel people who go vacation in Thailand is far more hypocritical than someone who goes to work in China. But at the end of the day, it's about the people not the government.

To the extent I have used RN, I find the good parts to be:
- Fast & iterative development

- If you are web developer, easy to switch to this (duh!)

- The "React" philosophy of "diffing" and pushing changes and having a virtual DOM

- Javascript - less boiler plate and easier to write (YMMV)

But, with RN you hit the limits in some spots:

- Handling navigation. The available navigator components are difficult to work with. The idioms are little sticky.
I know they've started working on a new one

- With Android SDK, you have the full set of components available and hence more choices - components, Material themes etc.,

- Because of the above point, you are always ahead, unless you have bandwidth to write wrappers for new components/ changes

- Slightly noticeable lesser frame rates compared to native. I don;t think this is a deal-breaker though.

Overall, the RN team is doing a great job by bringing the well tested RN concept to the mobile world and making "reusable code" worth an attempt. The choice depends on one's requirements and technology choices available in the project etc.,
I think I would actually enjoy doing customer support. Maybe this pay gap doesn't exist for companies hiring "Customer Success Engineers"?
Not familiar with Square but Swish started as an app for payment between individuals, such as friends sharing a restaurant bill or payment of used things (think Craigslist etc). People even use it as payment for used cars. It was developed by all major banks in cooperation, so huge network effect from start, uses the well established "mobile bank id" for authorization and is instant and currently free. The instantaneousness means that you feel safe to hand over the keys (in the car sale case) the moment your app beeps to confirm the transfer, which is within a few seconds after the buyer authorized it on his phone.

Later a version for merchants was developed.
The US is segregated with ghettos in NY, Chicago, Detroit, etc. But I was making a point about Sweden.

If you checked the blog I referred to, entitled "Police: Yes, there ARE No-Go Zones in Sweden" you would learn that there are essentially lawless areas where the police concedes that they have indeed lost control.

So "segregated" is the right word.

That's a good point about tab/session history. That's another area that could see improvement. I frequently open a link in a new tab, so also having that web of history between tabs could be useful.

I've been terribly unproductive today. Darting back and forth to sites. I have a tendency to close tabs if I can. But sometimes when distracted, open something back up, like a forum to see if there is change. And I may in truth have only opened it about 10 minutes earlier. Last visited/popular site list helper could be of use there. Or of course not procrastinating in the first place.
I am all for delayed gratification, being mindful of your lifestyle and consumption, but this should not translate to having all of our life decisions based on the final chapters of our lives.

In the long term, we are all dead. With regards with kids and family planning, the cruel calculus (especially for women) is that the more we get close to the best income-generating years, the closer we get to risky pregnancies and lower fertility.

I am losing count of how many mid-30s women I've met who kept postponing to start their families and now are desperately trying to revert their biological clocks.

When creating art one must maintain an awareness of how all components fit together to create a beautiful piece that works as a whole. It's important to know what you don't know even if you have no urgent need to learn those things. Anecdotally, figuring out what I enjoy learning (information theory, social systems) and my life goals (early retirement so I can study independently and spend more time with my family) have helped guide me into machine learning and entrepreneurship. Life's too short to learn everything!
It'll depend upon what everyone else is doing, too. When everyone else is in "spray and pray" mode, it behooves you to go deep and build expertise, because then the depth of your knowledge really makes you stand out in the crowd. When everybody else is going deep and specializing, it behooves you to explore a lot of shallow ideas, because there is probably some low-hanging fruit that someone else is missing.
In some ways, I disagree. I've found the expenses of children to be bathtub shaped - very expensive up front, dropping until they start public school, then ramping up slowly until they make the big jump to college.
I don't think "smart children" is the same as "successful and well educated children". While your statement is indeed backed my most research, the article seems to suggest that because your smart, your children will be as well. This is not backed by most research. Perhaps the reason most children of parents with higher education also tend to get educated is because the parents were smart enough to not have children until they were financially able.

>And my favorite piece of advice: Don't take advice from people less successful than you.

Success has many dimensions; one needs to choose carefully which to measure yourself against. I've known wealthy and professionally respected people whose personal lives were a mess and those of more modest means who greatly enriched the lives of those around them.

Moreover, the path to success that others have trod may not one that you can take. Times change, possibilities change, and opportunities open to others may not be open to you.

My preference is to listen attentively and genuinely to advice from nearly anyone but be very selective about which bits of advice I choose to try and follow.
It looks like the $1B figure is a pre-money valuation for the $500M raised.[0] If so, that results in a 2x exit for those investors.[1] This assumes those investors don't have rights that would entitle them to more than their pro rata of the acquisition proceeds, such as special liquidation preference rights that would entitle them to more than a 1x liquidation preference. It's these kinds of special liquidation preference rights that have attracted some attention for helping "juice" valuations, particularly with unicorns.[2]

[1] Math: $500M invested at $1B results in those investors owning 1/3 of the company. Assuming pro rata distribution of the acquisition proceeds, they would get $1B in a $3B acquisition.

My dad is quite fond of this adage from a journalism school professor in the 80s: "know all about one thing, a little about everything, and where to find the rest."

"T-shaped skills" or whatever you want to call them + the capacity to learn is quite powerful.
Yeah. Or they remember the outfit combinations when they are shopping, and look for something similar in the store. A rather large percentage of the users I have asked prefers to shop in the stores because they can feel the fabric and experience the fit.

I think there are two very different users (thanks to the post above that I realised this):

- The user has no clue, and wants to know what works well within his existing wardrobe. Not really interested in shopping.

- Knows what he wants, likes the app for the inspiration it gives. But also likes the entire process of shopping.
> This is is all in the greater thread's context of whether you are more likely to get rich working for someone else or yourself.

The point I'm trying to make is that both likelihoods are very small. Maybe you have a 1 in 1000 shot at becoming a multi-millionaire by working at BigCo vs. a 1 in 2000 shot at a startup. Some people are claiming that Google, Facebook, etc. are simply pumping out millionaire after millionaire and this is obviously not true. And when you call them on this, they trot out the usual "Bbbbut I know That One Guy At Google Who..." anecdote to somehow prove that everyone in the valley is printing money.

I generally don't trust equity figures when looking at Glassdoor, because there are no details. My guess is most of what's self-reported as yearly equity is really just signing bonus equity that vests after 4 years and then you're back to making base salary.

Is git changing that fast? I'm not sure I've ever upgraded git on any machine.
There are several problems with sites like snopes and politifact. They are centralizing "truth", making themselves an authority, and creating a single point of failure. The information can be manipulated or misrepresented toward an agenda. Its even more powerful than mainstream media because people put more trust in these "truth" sites. Also, they make a judgement call with their meters and traffic light widgets as to the truth value of a claim. This is problematic because it makes judgement extrinsic, and creates a visual component that can be embedded out of context to drive people toward an opinion using only their emotions.

A better version of these sites would teach about how to source information and use critical thought, then list as many verified sources on a topic as possible without making a judgement themselves as to the truth of the matter.

> i would argue that having only one universal graphics api would hurt innovation and progress, so it's not perfect either.

In general, you could argue that more competition helps progress, yes. But it's not even the case here, since walled gardens (Xbox, PS, iOS, etc.) prevent competing APIs like Vulkan from being used on them. I.e. they don't compete on merit (which could boost progress), they are anti-competitive. So they only slow down progress in this case.
Reasons to Use Apache Mesos Frameworks
I am honestly not familiar with the ToS for either of these services, but I can't imagine a situation where Google would steal trade secrets from a competitor via Google Drive and not get into a carapton of trouble for it. Has this actually happened? Also, have there been cases of Google or MS snooping into users' documents? I honestly don't know.

As far as being available on any OS, MS office has a browser based version of their office suite, as well as native apps for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. I believe that covers a "pretty much any OS" description.

Of course if you want to stay offline, there is no question. And I guess LibreOffice is still very relevant for the places where ubiquitous Internet access hasn't happened yet. But I would argue that the average consumer in the developed world has already overwhelmingly voted for the cloud, and outside of some communities such as HN, the question of "does Google read my docs/email/etc.?" has been completely dropped.

I only read as far as you talk about, so I don't know what the rest of the detail is, but I tend to agree with the criticism of snopes, at least this far:

The claim, as stated, is 100% true.

The rest of Snopes' argument seems to be justification on behalf of Hillary, which in Snopes' defense, changes the light in which the statement paints Hillary.

If I were snopes, I would have rated the claim true, and then still explained the circumstances. I think that removes the bias and lets readers draw their own conclusion about why something happened. That's what's supposed to be going on at a fact-checking outfit.

I'm sure that a price increase in land results in a "rising tide" effect for all homes, but because someone is willing to spend 64M on a mansion, does it mean condo's should be worth more too?

It has a cascade effect - if a person who can afford a $2M house is forced into buying a smaller property because $2M doesn't go as far, that displaces the guy who could afford $1M, who displaces the guy who can afford $750K and so forth. Further down the line it hits people who can't afford to buy at all, people whose rent becomes unaffordable on their income, and so forth.

This.

When the West moved toward a thriving ecosystem of web applications, the web scene in China was a complete mess. Not many people were confident enough to use the Web, let alone trust a random website with their bank account which has no dispute channel. Plus the web is full of malware and scams and almost all PC ran pirated Windows XP with abysmal if any antivirus software.

When most people equated internet with the IE icon, people in China did it with the dorminating IM software made by Tencent.

The explosion of mobile ecosystem speaks to the lackluster of a thriving web ecosystem and to some degree a clunky financial system and lack of meaningful consumer protection.

>A monorail suspended over the roadway would offer better stability

Building elevated rail infrastructure is very expensive though. The material required to build infrastructure supporting a "tall bus" is substantially less. Furthermore, the bus doesn't contribute to visual pollution quite as much.

It might be slower than a train, but it's certainly faster than a normal bus. There are a few places I think this idea would be extremely helpful in Chicago. Our road system is a very regular grid, with major streets every 8 blocks, and semi-major streets every 4, both of which are signaled. Bus stops are usually at these intersections. These intersections are also the places where people are most likely to want to turn.

If you banned left turns outside of signaled intersections on these bus routes, and the bus stopped on the near side of every intersection, you wouldn't run the risk of the bus overtaking cars and hitting them. Instead, the bus would get a signal to move first, and cars could proceed afterwards.

Some of the slowest buses in Chicago are on routes that aren't served by trains. Trains only go to and from the central business district, and so you need to either take a bus or drive to go anywhere else. The immense volume of car traffic also slows down the buses, some of which are barely faster than walking speed. I used to live 4 miles from my job, but taking a bus would have taken over an hour. That is the time with a single transfer, 10 minute headways, and a bus stop in front of my apartment and a bus stop in front of my office.
Kent Beck is plenty successful - he founded the XP movement back in the late 90s, popularized unit tests, was one of the original signatories of the Agile Manifesto, and wrote JUnit.

I don't fully agree. They present contradictory or supporting evidence. I don't think that is presenting oneself as the authority.

Merely the fact-checker.

If you're saying they should present all the same evidence and NOT decide whether the claim is true or false--I think that's a pretty trivial point.

When I read snopes, I look at their evidence, not their actual rating. I know they have a bias and I don't want to include it in my own decision.
