> We were searching for good espresso by looking for cafes that had the industrial aesthetic- bare wooden tables, vaguely scandinavian furniture, Edison bulbs. It worked without fail; every cafe we stopped in that subscribed to the aesthetic had great coffee."

Did you try any cafés that didn't share that aesthetic? It's quite possible that 'good coffee' in that region is the standard. Or that you simply got lucky when selecting.
My neighborhood has an even simpler system. We all have individual mailboxes, and then there are a few larger mailboxes for packages. When the mailman delivers a large package, he puts it in one of the package boxes, locks it, then puts the key in the mailbox belonging to the recipient. The recipient then gets the key with the rest of their mail, which they use to get to the package. The package locks are designed to capture the key once you use them, so only the mailman can retrieve the key and use it again next time.
Reeks of elitism... he's probably one of those owners who forces everyone, even those who are never customer facing, to wear dress attire to work.

Walking into a business when I'm job searching, If I see a room full of engineers who all have ties on, I walk out.

Grammar, Dress code, etc - those things can be priority in some roles... if you are client facing, of course your dress matters, if you speak or write for the company, of course grammar matters... if you are an engineer who only interacts internally, forcing business dress codes is a sign that your priorities are out of line, and thats a big red flag...
I'll give your platform a try soon. I've exclusively made wp sites because it is quick and easy to accomplish what I want, as long as it is simple.

If you want to make traction with the wp crowd, you'll need a website redesign. Go to wordpress.com and there is literally a button that says "create website". Your website says "lifting django into the cloud". What the hell does that mean? (I know what it actually means).

Sign up and deploy a site in the cloud? No... I just want to make a website. I don't want to deploy and sign up. etc. (I know its the same exact thing, your marketing will just have to change.)
^yes. when an early-stage startup (seed or just hit series a) emphasizes that they are a 'family' this is not quite accurate. yes, caring and support abounds, but its not so much a family as a group of friends...and like every group of friends when you can't hang at the bar until closing a few nights a week or spend a weekend 'adventure camping' the group just stops inviting you. quickly you lose sync, don't get the in-jokes and most importantly you lose value in the eyes of the group. 'oh, she/he used to be cool, but they just don't hang anymore'.

when it comes to work this has a very destructive effect. team-building exercises that require people to choose between spending time with their families and participating are, in my opinion, at the least cruel and at the most nefariously aimed at driving a culture wedge between you and the company.

your children only grow up once. no second chances.

"As far as I know, the modern trains that I've seen in China seem to be manufactured by Chinese companies."

Yes - because in order to do business in China, you have to give over your IP to a Chinese company and 'partner' with them to sell there, OR, after you give over your IP someone else gets their hands on it and copies you and you've wasted your time.

China is not an open market, most sectors are heavily protected.

Granted - it's arguably a smart thing for them to do during 'catch up phase' - but you can't remain competitive by doing those things.

Non-Chinese nations should impose tarriffs on all Chinese goods until we can freely sell things there without government interruption.

They can protect their banks, telecoms etc. like every country, but not every consumer good.

The companies that have been successful there are largely consumer retail like restaurants, clothing etc..

>In software, it is definitely the idea that is protected, not the specific implementation

If that were the case, Apple couldn't circumvent the patent in question by changing the implementation from peer-to-peer to server relayed. In other words, its not the idea of a Facetime/video chat that is patented but the implementation of how the video chat is done.

In the non-software world, it might be like saying denim pants have a problem because the stitched pockets always rip under the weight of tools, so I patent the idea of pants with pockets that don't rip. The idea alone can't be patented, but definitely Levi Strauss' jeans with rivets was eligible for a patent. And if Levi didn't have the capital to begin manufacturing his own denim pants with rivets and instead tried to license his patent to an existing pants manufacture, and instead of paying they just stole Levi's idea, it wouldn't make sense to label Levi a troll, pretend his patent isn't valid and otherwise stifling innovation. Moreover, the idea should foster innovation, because if I can't do pants with rivets, fine I try pants with staples and we will let the market decide what they like better.

Here is another software example, I filed a patent for the automatic calculation of legal fees based on information contained in a charging document (e.g. speeding ticket or criminal complaint). Now anyone can have the idea that it would be great if law firm staff wasn't required and legal fees could be automated, but ask them how they could automatically calculate legal fees and all the sudden the idea is not so obvious.

People I know who have used Django praise it, but WordPress's ecosystem is in another league entirely.

Real-world example: I needed to build a restaurant website in as little time as possible.

A Google search for Wordpress Restaurant template gave me everything I needed (I went with one from ThemeForest).

The same search replacing Wordpress with Django doesn't return anything relevant :( (it does give me several paid ads for Wix and other site builders).

Edit: mgkimsal also has a point. It's ridiculously easy to get Wordpress up and running with most hosting providers.

Edit2: the article mentions the setup issues. Docker containers sound like a way to overcome that one, but the ecosystem barrier will remain.

> No. A peace treaty or truce means each side remains independent but they agree to stop warring with each other. This is an outright purchase.

What you said make sense, but I see this as a truce between Didi and Uber per se, not just Uber China. Uber lose a battle on Chinese turf to Didi and sold this branch in exchange to some share of Didi. But Uber still exists. I don't view this as a victory of Didi either, they simply defended their home turf. What we may see next is maybe they will compete in SE Asia or India. It seems like Didi is more ambitious on things like this.
GP may be able to do that and get the job, but then he or she would be working with others who've done that, and they may be good rapid puzzle solvers, but not good engineers.

Microsoft has already answered this. Their React Native target for the windows desktop uses UWP.

Microsoft is pushing UWP as a capable desktop platform. AFAIK, they aren't ending support for their other platforms just yet. WPF is still being worked on last I heard. If you look at win10+, UWP is a perfectly valid choice for React Native. You could have React Native targets for WPF, win32, etc etc if you wanted.. I'm not sure what use cases could benefit from that though.

Keep in mind, if they're missing something in UWP that they need for React Native, they can add it to UWP.

> It took China less than a year to build the worlds fastest supercomputer

A buggy supercomputer that's down most of the time. In practice, Titan is still the world's fastest supercomputer. This isn't to say that China won't pass the US for real in supercomputing; it's just at the current moment their supercomputer is really only the best on paper.

EDIT: Actually, I didn't notice that the Sunway TaihuLight became active in June. I don't much about this supercomputer, so my comment only applies to the Tianhe-2.
Demonstrations of wealth change. When starving was not an unusual end to human life, rulers were overweight and obese. When being overweight is a sign of bad nutrition, the wealthy are fit and active.

Grand displays of wealth through luxurious materials nowadays are seen as egotistical, self-aggrandizing, and antiquated. Whereas modern design is a display of the good taste and international character of someone who appreciates sleek elements yet has enough money to buy spaces that are largely empty.

I don't really see Uber as a "loser" or "victim" in this latest development. They accomplished a lot here:

* Stop losing $1B/yr in a non-premium market (low average fare)
* Get a 20% stake in the new Didi/Uber hybrid company, which will grow over time without much active effort by Uber
* Negate Lyft's efforts to run around Uber in China by empowering Didi to crush them
* Align with Apple, who invested $1B in Didi

All of this just by giving up a failing Chinese taxi business. Uber claims they're not just a taxi company and that they can be a worldwide logistics network. If that's true they can fine-tune that technology elsewhere and re-enter China in other businesses later.
As someone who spends a lot of time studying computer architecture, I'm skeptical about this machine because of its interconnect design and memory bandwidth. It seems to be optimized specifically for LINPACK. Many people are critical of that benchmark and some labs refuse to participate in Top 500 because of it.

From [1]:

>However, as we know LINPACK does not tell the whole story. On the HPCG benchmark, Sunway TaihuLight reported only .371 petaflops, which is .3 percent of peak. Compare this with 0.580 petaflops on Tianhe-2 (1.1 percent of peak) and .322 petaflops on Titan (1.2 percent of peak). RIKEN’s K computer reports 0.460 HPCG performance, 4.1 percent theoretical peak.

The US government is completely dysfunctional and corrupt at this point and is unable to muster any kind of coherent trade policy. This has allowed China to outmaneuver US repeatedly. This is most obvious recently in the Boeing deal where they are going to build a factory in China and give away all there knowhow after congress refused to reauthorize the U.S. Export-Import Bank, blocked by one senator. See here http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/28/business/international/a-s...
> Because a lot of their decisions are irrational and it is extremely difficult to have an opponent that does irrational decisions.

While I disagree in general, I downvoted because of that statement. The decisions of the Chinese government make sense in context. They are not an irrational actor just because some of us don't understand their motivations, or because they don't align with western interests. The process is obscure, which makes it frustrating, but there is logic and grand strategy involved.

It is also easy to forget that more and more people are becoming programmers each year. The necessary result of this is that when you look at the average tech company, there will be fewer older programmers.

"Uncle" Bob Martin once gave a talk where he asked for a show of hands of "How many of you have been programming for 5 years? 10 years? 15? 20?". The results in his audience roughly correlated to his thesis, that the number of programmers has roughly doubled every 5 years since programming was a thing.

Are there fewer older programmers at a given company because of ageism? I'm sure that's part of it. But don't forget that there are far, far fewer programmers with 20 years of experience than with 5 years of experience.
I don't really think there's a difference. My thoughts is that brushing pushes most of it off, but pushes some stuff into small holes and stuff, which is then removed by flossing.

Most successful nations today did protect their markets and relied on tight government coordination when they were doing catch-up after WWII: Japan, Korea, ,Taiwan, France, Germany, Finland, ...

The question we should ask is how much is proper and beneficial. Asking China to play the same game as already developed nations is not fair or realistic.
Tell them: Look, you can play around with your currency in whatever way you want. But if the trade balance is not balanced, we charge a 10% import tax. Per day. Cumulative.

I think there are many countries that can produce cheap shoes, clothes and electronics. By now all this stuff can already be manufactured in the US again due to automation and robotics (see Adidas producing shoes in Germany AGAIN).

This would be a minor problem for the US but a big problem for China, Germany and Japan.

By the way, I live in China.

That is true (see infrastructure investments). The irrational decision makers are mainly in private enterprises. In my opinion because they are used to 10% growth. They will have to change or their companies will go belly up.

Many Chinese (both in Private and SOE) are complaining that there is a "downturn" right now. This is NOT a downturn. It will never be 10% growth. They have not realized that the game has changed.

All of them. A general purpose computer (e.g. a linux box) is one that can run arbitrary code. A special-purpose computer (e.g. an ATM machine) only runs what the manufacturer intends it to run. The former is powerful-but-dangerous, and the latter is safe-but-limited.

Customers, of course, don't want a trade-off - they want power and safety. IOS is an attempt to get as close to that as possible, but it only works until iphone users want to do something on their phone that Apple doesn't want to let them do - that's when the illusion comes crashing down. When this happens, Apple users don't say, "Well, I'd like to run XYZ on my phone but I understand that I can't because that's the trade-off I made in exchange for a nice app store with no viruses in it," they say, "What the hell! I should be able to run XYZ if I want, it's my phone!"
