apologies for the long delay in reply …

I'm not deeply-read on the topic, but here are a few others I've liked …

· Certain to Win: The Strategy of John Boyd, Applied to Business by Chet Richards. This one in particular analyzes heavily blitzkrieg tactics, and how disorientation and morale are some of the most effective "weapons." Has many good cross-references.

· The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Military strategy and conflict philosophy. Basically, the philosophy that undergirds the blitzkrieg: lots on gaining advantage, using morale, turning "deficiencies" in to advantages, etc.

· Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. It's rah-rah and a bit repetitive, but has some good bits on team dynamics, element of surprise—if nothing else, an interesting glimpse in to the dynamics of high-functioning military units.

So far, Grunt has touched on military uniform fashion design and its role in psyche … we'll see where else it goes, but an enjoyable read thus far.
That behaviour is only enabled if `--strictNullChecks` is set to true. Otherwise, by default all types include null/undefined just like in TypeScript 1.x. So it's entirely opt-in.
Nicely done - that was my first time experiencing "micro-payments". I'd be happy to pay on 5c per article as opposed to being tied to a subscription.

Same here. It's become one of those standards steps that you take whenever you set up a new computer:

1. Install the OS (or remove the crap-ware from the manufacturer)

2. Install the OS updates/security packs/etc.

3. Install the anti-virus

4. Install the ad-blocker

async-await for ES5/ES3 is already available in `typescript@next`. give it a try.
Yes, and that proves the GP's point. The tobacco industry are the ones who'll remain largely unaffected by that ruling because they are grandfathered in from certification requirements. Oh, and also, they own a considerable size of the disposal e-cig market, so the relevant ruling effectively extinguishes the smaller players who sell re-usable kit.

So the interested media (who cover tobacco legislation) were kept out. So... The companies pulling the strings of the FDA were able to control the messaging of the ruling to make it about "we're in support of this" rather than "we're removing all our competition by employing the FDA as our market enforcer"
A company (or group of executives) that blatantly lies to the media risks damaging it's own credibility. In my experience, statements like this are usually technically correct, though sometimes misleading in spirit.

Right, and the restrictions that are appropriate for that domain weren't necessarily appropriate for all the other domains to which it was later applied.
"Millenials" is always used in combination with derogatory terms like "entitled, lazy, hopeless". Sometimes I wonder if boomers have _any_ idea of the frantic pace of today's workplace and how little power you can hope for, regardless of how much you work.

Organisations that want to maintain control over society.

Case in point is the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1h43ez/chilling_ar....

This organization represents major financial firms, including Visa Europe, and law enforcement agencies, including the City of London Police and Europol, and had a 2 page article appearing in the 2013 G8 trade magazine calling for a global ban on Bitcoin, for the most powerful people in the developed world to read.

The people who run this organization appear to be ruthless and amoral, going as far as publicly justifying cyber attacks against companies in the Bitcoin space:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1giuft/quote_from_...

Then there is the Hacking Team, a blackhat cyber security firm that works for government agencies around the world, and whose CEO said in an email "The DARKNET is your enemy. TOR is your enemy. ENCRYPTION is your enemy":

I've gone that route for a while now. It's a nightmare of fragility in your build, not to mention little things like how it totally kills your sourcemaps. I just upgraded to typescript@next and it has been a dream. I eliminated like 50% of the cruft around my build just by doing that.
Open source may perpetuate, but it is the on-call, active support that enterprises value. You can't exactly demand prompt action from the support forums, can you? Now maybe open source like Red Hat works that way, but it is very much the commercial terms and operating models that businesses are interested in.

Again, for innovative new projects, this is changing.

I don't have any moral problem with ads and companies need to make money so I don't have an adblocker and I just don't visit sites with obnoxious ads. 90% of the sites I visit (i.e. google, facebook, stackoverflow, reddit, hackernews, xkcd, netflix, etc...) don't have annoying ads.

Oddly enough the only times I have really regretted turning off my ad blocker is when I'm watching videos where an unskippable ad longer than 10 seconds comes up or I go to some news site (which seems to 3/4 of the time have some full page popup or autoplaying video).
I agree. However one additional thing to keep in mind in the COTS vs FOSS is if there is some bug that affects the company and requires attention. The company doesn't generally have the engineers on staff to actually change that software, and there's no guarantee that the associated FOSS community will prioritize the bug. With a COTS solution, you can pick up the phone and call the support team. Generally my company chooses COTS over FOSS because they want guaranteed support even if it costs more.

Note, some FOSS products also provide a strong support team to handle this exact thing, and in those cases they were usually the winner.

Edit: Looks like abakker posted the same idea simultaneously.
This isn't really the place for it but I really wish that both Webstorm and Resharper used the actual typescript compiler for its tooling (like vscode) vs handrolling their own. Now I have to wait until Webstorm 2016.3 to see the full benefit of 2.0, rather than getting it for free by just updating typescript. Not to mention the obscene number of typescript edge case inconsistencies in the warnings, errors, and refactorings.
Pushed!? He often says the stuff is wacky but that he loves considering the ideas. He likes to talk to cranks.

I meant it sarcastically, not literally.

I used ST2/3 daily for a few years before switching to Webstorm, Atom, and then to VSCode :)

The cadence of updates in Atom/VSCode far outpaces that of ST, making it easy to forget that the latter exists.

The FDA definitely seems to be controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. I guess sometimes these industries step on each others toes getting things done, and in the e-cig case pharma won over tobacco.

It's the introductory example of an anti-joke in the culture's humor-teaching curriculum.

A lot of the jokes that we tell kids are actually teaching them the basics of what is considered funny in our culture. Much of it demonstrates how to establish a pattern or preconception, then break or subvert it for the desired comedic effect.

For instance, you can't tell "banana-banana-orange" or "interrupting cow" as your first knock-knock joke, because you first have to establish the pattern of a "proper" knock-knock joke.

After the chicken crosses the road, you tell some shaggy dog stories, then you hit them with the never-ending setup, where the joke is in how long you can get them to listen to your pointless rambling while waiting for a punchline that never comes.
Scott Alexander gives a pretty convincing argument that maybe this time, the outrage should actually be directed against FDA.

RE the killing vs. not saving, let's maybe put it more precisely - it's decisions that kill people vs. decisions that prevent someone else from saving people. Now in a way, the whole economy indeed runs on the second kind - as long as medical research and medical care aren't money-saturated (i.e. have more of it than know what to do with), all the money that flows somewhere else is preventing lives from being saved. One issue is, we can't just simply redirect all that money to medicine without the world (or at least the country trying) going straight to hell.

As for personal moral responsibility, I think it kind of depends on the "degrees of separation" from the issue. In the Russian stents case, I'd say that what happened is pretty close to mass murder. The separation between patients and the company is just one somewhat fixed legal system, that was about to save lives if it was not for the company. That's like if someone was jumping from a burning building, and last-second you pulled the life net away from where that person was landing. It's not you who killed them, it's the dv/dt...

Most of us, including Netflix, YouTube, et al. are much further separated from life-and-death issues. Like, if I work for a company automating some part of manufacturing in a factory, should I be responsible for a worker who got hit by downsizing? Don't know, I sometimes do feel that way. Should I be responsible for that worker not being able to pay his barberer, who had to start working overtime to compensate, and then didn't have time to go to the gym, and died of a heart condition? There's no way to do that in practice - there's too many variables in between me and that dying person to pin responsibility on one actor, or to even determine the casual chain.

Economy at large is kind of "causality laundering" - too many variables, too much things happening, for a single bad outcome to depend on a single actor if they're not directly connected. But the Russinan thing? Sounds as explicit and direct as one can get without pulling the trigger themselves.
Even my grandfather (in his 80s) uses one and when I asked him where he got the idea for using it he said "I got sick of all the spam and thought I might get a virus so searched for ' block ads / pop ups and installed the first one I found, I guess it could be doing bad things itself but websites load so much faster now!" - pretty amazing invasive ads are now that they lead the elderly to a search engine for a fix! (Not an easy thing to do at the best of times!)
I would posit another reason you don't have as many issues; you don't have as many people trying to find them.

I think it is pretty foolhardy to assume that just because security issues haven't been found means they don't exist.
This makes a pretty good argument for selecting news sources that aren't "first to print". If a news source is willing to be behind the curve, it indicates they're willing to report the news second hand and at least have the possibility of pursuing some due diligence.

I browse most of the time without extensions other than a cookie editor, since I've encountered a number of weird bugs in my company's own product that turned out not to be bugs but weird interactions with browser extensions I was running. I also read a lot of news articles both on big sites like the WSJ and whatever regional news outlets turn up in my news searches. That is to say that ad networks should (presumably) have a great profile on me and be able to show super-relevant ads.

But I still get Linode ads for weeks if I make the mistake of visiting Linode outside incognito mode (I've been a customer there for 5 years; I don't need another ad prompting me to sign up). I still get ads for things that I've just bought instead of complementary goods for the things I've just bought.

I still see absolutely insulting garbage ads for One Weird Trick that $GROUP hates. It's the offensively stupid Taboola/Outbrain etc. bottom-of-the-barrel ads that repulse and puzzle me the most. My memory says -- and scanned newspaper archives confirm -- that back before online news was a thing, regional newspapers had plenty of advertising but it was advertising for normal goods and services: snow tires, a clothing sale, lawn care, oil changes, etc. Shortly after the turn of the millennium I thought that online advertising was going to be kind of scary due to the profiles advertisers could build up on me but also kind of nice because I'd always see ads that aligned with my interests, instead of e.g. randomly bombarding me with ads for baby diapers in hopes that I am a new parent. Ha, if only.

The most noticeable difference between small news outlet ads now and 30 years ago isn't that the ads I see are now all eerily aligned with my interests; it's that worst of them are aggressively misaligned with my interests and with the interests of anyone who's not a total fucking rube. Who actually believes that they've won the iPhone giveaway contest or that they need a weird trick to clean the dangerous fluoride toxins from their tap water? I've never clicked on this trash but I appear doomed to encounter it forever.

Capitalism's an economic system, not a moral one. He's got his responsibility to make money at any cost. Civic society has its responsibility to draw a line past which the cost is too high. History makes it clear that "assuming the best" about the actions of the rich and powerful hardly keeps them accountable.
there is a reason for this, and that reason is ABUSE. you know... one or two small well placed ads fine.. but what you get are situations where content is tiny, and really it's just about seeing who can spam you the most ads half of which serve malware.

> As a former boss used to say, there is no "fairly sterile" just as there is no "fairly pregnant".

This (and mrob's post) is definitely incorrect. It's the opposite, in fact, there is no "sterile" in the absolute sense. You'll never kill everything.

This is measured in multiple ways, depending on field: sterility assurance level[0] is one, similar to the way the USDA specifies cooking temperatures to hit 6- or 7-log reduction in bacteria populations. This is also why we crash probes like Cassini into Saturn to not risk contaminating any possible niches that could support life even though the probes have been built in a clean room, cleaned, and irradiated.

It's used to try and drive a wedge between the elderly and the young so that the old will be apathetic about fighting against onerous student debt/shitty entry level jobs and the young will be apathetic about fighting the drive to destroy medicare, privatize social security, etc.

Unlike other propaganda attempts this one actually works pretty well.
From what I have experienced, open source is acceptable, as long as it has a support contract behind it. So basically for Linux you can use Red Hat or Suse, and with the occasional Ubuntu in there as well.
His jumping-off point would be a good example of the exception to the rule, "Treat PR like biz dev."

Exposure for exposure's sake, vanity pieces or just "noise," is probably a waste of time. This is particularly true when you have extremely limited resources, which is often the case in a startup, and product and users/customers are certainly the priority.

Business development goes hand-in-hand with product and customers and creating value is essential to any startup. The benefits of his perspective are probably worth not dismissing them.

It needs that permission to read the page and perform the text swap. Text swap is change data, the DOM needs to be read.

This is a big reason to support open source add-ons (not sure if add-on is, might be since it was forked? No idea.) You can see if they're doing anything malicious on the side.
Exactly, that's what makes it so essential to understand. Just because there isn't a direct link between "need more salad" and the actual brain, doesn't mean the connection is insignificant. Mood is still largely a mystery. Nobody understands fully why people can feel good one day or bad the next, and diagnoses of conditions like depression often miss small but significant things, like the result of a fatty dinner late at night causing poor sleep and a grumpy mindset the next day. We can't predict everything, but we also can't use that as a reason to ignore it.

The problem with "follow your passion" isn't with techie entrepreneurial types. The problem is the choices inflicted on millions of teenagers and university students by parents who grew up in the anti-scientific 60s and 70s, and who want their children to do arty subjects because they think that to do otherwise is to succumb to the evil capitalist squid, and because they think you still just need to have a degree in any subject from a good university to have a good career in some honorable non-STEM area.
Cool, thanks! I did some looking into it, and it appears that as of 1 Jan 2017, in the US such uses of medically important antibiotics will be banned in the US (http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/uc...). The EU has had a ban since 2006. China and some other countries may still be a problem. Not sure how much meet the US/EU imports from those countries.

With these bans in place, it doesn't seem necessary to implement a tax on their use. Perhaps a ban on importing meat that was produced using antibiotics for growth.
I agree, especially since even ublock occasionally gets caught by those 'you're using an ad-blocker' ads that tries to get you to either disable it or subscribe. That would really confuse, say, my mom if she had no idea she had an ad-blocker.
