Is this your first time reading the New Yorker?
How do you reach that rather startling conclusion?
Also, there's nobody to contact at Microsoft regarding Azure billing. I was prototyping some app that used App Service, Document DB, and Notification Hub and for a few months they billed at around $10 - $20, all of a sudden it's $1,200 for a month. The app was not launched, I was the only user. There's no way to figure out why other than it's a DocumentDB charge. There's no way I'd put anything in production with Azure.
I think I'll stay away from that controversial area :-) Klingon got severely rejected by Unicode in 2001, so it's going to be difficult to turn things around.

[1] Unicode's reasons for rejecting Klingon: http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2001/01212-RejectKlingon.html and the official rejection notice: http://www.unicode.org/alloc/nonapprovals.html
That is an excellent question! I don't, right now, but I'll find a way!

Yeah, that was in no way meant to detract from the rest of the Google Cloud offering. I only bring it up because we were just recently looking to migrate some of our serverless tooling (API Gateway/Lambda/Dynamo) and I really wanted to have a crack at the Google stuff (Endpoints/Functions/Datastore), but couldn't since I couldn't get into the alpha.

Interested, no doubt, but it will still be interesting when there's something material to discuss.
[Create React App](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/m...) simplifies setup greatly. I'd really recommend giving it Ila try.
I thought the article has overall worth because it's an honest reflection about something we usually think of as a simple feel-good story. We pay attention to selfless deeds when they happen, but usually don't follow up with the aftermath. Apparently, according to the author, neither do hospitals, which means there's a lack of data to do more longitudinal study.
> Actually, homophobia is on the rise worldwide.

That seems incredibly unlikely. I suspect the opposite is true. Do you have data?
Well, posix capabilities can be packaged upstream do that. So can Capsicum, for that matter. And so can chroot...
This may be a dumb question, but why are previous kidney donors not given a free pass to the top of the recipient list if they have a problem with their remaining kidney?
"The E-myth" by Michael Gerber is the single most helpful book I've ever read on transitioning your thinking from engineering-focused to business-minded. Specifically, the difference between the Technician, the Manager, and the Entrepreneur. I read it on the recommendation of an ex-Google engineer turned failed-entrepreneur, here on HN. He said that a The E-myth described all the failures he had encountered trying to start-up his own software company after leaving Google. And that he wished he'd read it before he took the leap. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up as soon as possible.
I don't think that will happen with create-react-app since its intention is zero customisation.

You can't generate more complexity with a tool that reduces opportunity for developer choice.

A basic example is that a starter app would normally require you to connect 10s of libraries together just to get started. It is difficult to argue that not having to do so is actually more complex.
On getting a job: it's not just about coding chops. You should also appear to be not-an-asshole, a good communicator, a positive team player, exhibit a certain kind of humility, yet appear enthusiastic about other people's ideas, etc. My (shallow) first impression based on 4 minutes of reading your writings is that one of the above might be why you're getting rejected.

With entrepreneurship, it's almost entirely not about coding skills. You should find and solve problems people are willing to pay for. Customer development, marketing, sales, and all sorts of other people skills are key.

You're still young. It may seem to you like everybody else is an idiot – I've been there. However, it just might be that you're the one with a lot to learn.
Obligatory comment on how rendering a couple thousand polygons in HTML5 maxes my high-end CPU and GPU usage, for a measly 8fps.
Unfairly, IMHO. It certainly helped, but they did so much, and better, than the other apps and they made legit, value-improving changes to the ride-hailing process: actually acting on feedback, dynamically setting prices, coordinating a movement away from tipping, applying modern IT.

Remember, their core product was not violating regulations: it was filling empty spots for legit black limo drivers, and was more expensive than taxis but still competitive because of the quality of service.

"False equivalence. We wouldn't have billions of users if there were no other agents than users. You can't create an iphone using an iphone."

It's not a false equivalence at all.

The necessity of lower-level technology in the creation of higher-level technology does not imply that the lower-level technology is somehow 'better' or 'superior'.

You are using a UX right now to read and respond to this.

It's crazy to posit that 'UXs are inferior'. Positively wrong.

In the vast majority of cases, UX's are superior to shells. Maps, news, social media, browsing/buying things, listening to music, making music, photo editing - there are actually very few use-cases wherein the shell is advantageous. Even emacs is a UX of sorts.
Are your two startups making any money? If not, then you need to focus on one first.

Also, why not work with your dad part of the time? Or at least help him out with the technology in the business. From what I've seen you have the programming and design skills. However, from your post it does seem like you lack the business skill set. You can either learn from him, or by working at a company. You're lucky you have a good resource.

How often are you applying to jobs? You have the skill set and the market is good. It shouldn't be hard to find a job in your situation?

Also, family is the most important thing and your parents don't get any younger :).
> Actually, homophobia is on the rise worldwide.

Is it? Or is it just more vocal since the progress of the LGBTQ rights movement globally makes homophobia no longer the silent norm of society?

Its often easy to mistake a movement as being stronger when its really just got its hackles up because its wounded and backed into a corner.

Sounds like his thought is more about building infrastructure, and even non-technical solutions (as in rethinking policy, scientific research projects, etc).

Like a global collaborative project to improve just about everything.
Here in Germany the soda market isn't such a mono-culture, e.g. in my home state the best-selling cola-type drink is made by a local company. Sure, you can get Coca Cola and Pepsi nearly everywhere, but every large supermarket chain has their own brand (made by a variety of companies) and the cool brands aren't the ones owned by multinationals.

I fail to see how that's any better. Sure, the direct boss is no longer to blame, but the company as a whole still looks crappy.
In other words, it will be just like selling any other non-online product. At least you get a search algorithm...

"People in our industry are already making far above the median"

The median also includes lots of low/non skilled positions. I really don't care how I'm doing compared to that
Hang in there. I started programming when I was 7 and by the time I was 18 I had lots of programming experience but nobody would hire me because I didn't have a degree or previous work experience. I had to do a lot of QA and support before I finally found some development jobs. One things that helped was moving down to LA and doing a lot of freelance work. I found it was a lot easier to get work at places where I was the only programming. Once you get a good reputation and have a portfolio of work it gets easier and easier. Eventually I moved back to the SF bay area and didn't do well at interviews either despite programming for 20+ years. Now I do a lot better just because I have interviewed so many times. I found that interviewing others at different startups has helped me interview at other places as well.

Also, I would definitely recommend reading Robert Greene's book called "Mastery". It talks a lot about how to go about building a career and is a great read.

How is China with 'innovation' though? The portrait we seem to get so often in the West is that China excels at imitation and fails at original thinking. Maybe innovation isn't needed for domestic success, but it is for creating things that penetrate the rest of the world (and, these days, dare I say universe?).
I think reviews tied to discounted products should be be given a weight reduced by the amount proportional to the discount received. So a product with a 75% discount should be given a 25% weight in the weighted-average review score.
How in the world will this new policy be enforced? I see only one possible outcome:

The reviewers who used to begin their review with "I received this product at a discount in exchange for a fair and honest review" will now begin their review with "I totally paid full price for this product and am a legit reviewer without paid-for bias."
Will totally check that book, thank you!
Yeah, this was just my personal story with it. I had a very specific goal for my first steps of development:

* Collect instance metadata from EC2 and store it in postgres.

* Collect Chef node data from a Chef API endpoint and store it in postgres.

* Return those collections to Ember to graph/put in a table/whatever.

I followed this guide for Rails 5 and Ember: https://emberigniter.com/modern-bridge-ember-and-rails-5-wit...

I had to pick and choose what it was showing since I wasn't building a book app.

It took some finagling to get everything working. One thing that confused me is that Ember resources get their own route and that wasn't explicitly stated (or maybe it was and I missed the text). So I kept trying to get `/instances` to render a table of instances but I would only get json back. I was super tired and up late at night but it didn't click that that route was bound to my resource and what was used to serve data. Whoopsy daisies.
Personally, I thought that Knuth's Structured Programming with goto Statements was the most nuanced argument in this debate: http://web.archive.org/web/20130731202547/http://pplab.snu.a...

I didn't specify finite or infinite, and you're right that FSMs alone aren't sufficient to describe all UIs. But they are sufficient to describe nearly all interactive UIs.

Your infinite button example still has a finite state, but it's not modeled explicitly, and would probably be a good idea, for very practical reasons, to do so. If it really goes on forever, you'll eventually run out of memory, whether that memory is managed by the rendering engine (appending dom elements?) or by the language runtime.

> However, this fails to account for things where a user can do something which doesn't change the current page but might change a later page.

A Hierarchical State Machine model covers this scenario quite nicely...which is exactly what React is.

It's not the technology success/failure axis in question, but how much weight to give it relative to other factors.

AKA in predicting overall success would a team with low tech expertise, but high sales expertise be have a better chance?
That median salary includes fast food workers and other low/non skilled positions. Comparing our profession against that is dishonest.
MSN and AOL come from the 90s, and Skype is from 2003. Slack is from 2013 - the web has more than doubled in age for Slack compared to the others. Computers are ridiculously faster, browsers are more mature, language libraries are more complete.

Slack also took much longer than a week, and to be honest, the actual chat part of slack is pretty meh. Where Slack unbelievably shines is in the buttery-smooth onboarding process and the management around the chat accounts.
Totally checking that, thank you.
FINALLY!!! You can't buy a single tech accessory on Amazon without these fake reviews.

Next they need to get rid of grouping reviews for different product versions.

They also need to ban merchants from hounding me to review their products. One of them even called me on my phone. I don't know how they got my number.

> The world's oldest profession, prostitution, has never been run by companies the size of Standard Oil.

This is because of government intervention (it's illegal for Christ's sake).

> Neither has wheat, sugar, electricity production, coal, iron, or copper.

Wheat has been regulated forever.

Sugar--are you not aware of the corn lobby?

Electricity production: this is pretty well monopolized regionally.

Coal: not yet.

Iron: USS wasn't a good enough a monopoly for you?

> A natural monopoly only exists in the face of high barriers to entry. Those barriers may be natural, or they may be political, but either way they must be high. Some may be high enough to only have a few competitors, but compete they must do. Collusion is mathematically and empirically unstable. In fact, the economic criteria for cartel success is a) how much profits increase, and b) how long they last. There would be no need for `b` as a success criteria if they were stable.

What makes you think that a large company will not create high barriers to entry in their field? When a company reaches a size where they can lobby the government successfully the field ceases to be an even playing field.
This sucks. I worked REALLY hard to become a top reviewer (ranked ~10,000th) so that I could get free and discounted stuff, and just these past few months, I've finally gotten to the point where I get 1-3 offers per day now.
Sellers will just game this by paying someone to buy the product at full price for a good review.

What? No, "we're" not.
Bottom right corner says, join on your phone.
Not surprising. If you've ever had to work with CoffeeScript in a large code base with multiple developers, it's . . . not ideal. I can't stand it, personally.
It's easy to circumvent this by offering 4x as many discounted items at the discounted price to get the reviews (I bet it still makes sense for the manufacturers to take even this loss up front if they can top the search rankings).
I think recognising that you, personally, are a smart primate is probably the key step to developing a rational world view. Since I explicitly took that onboard I've been suspicious of any concepts founded on the idea that humans and animals are separate and incompatible categories. Concepts like "anthropomorphism".
ScriptDash | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineer | Full Time - Onsite | https://www.scriptdash.com

At ScriptDash we are using technology to re-design and re-build the pharmacy from the ground up to offer better patient care and improve people's lives. Justin Kan recently named us one of his 3 favorite recent startups (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12618741).

We believe that the status quo in the pharmacy industry is broken and we’re doing something about it. We’re a VC funded ($6 million series A) technology startup based in San Francisco made up of ex-Facebook engineers. We offer free medication delivery in the Bay Area and we’re building an advanced technology platform to help patients manage and understand their medication therapy. We allow patients to text, call or email their pharmacists with any question and strive to provide an amazing patient experience. The pharmacy experience is completely broken, and we have a huge opportunity to use technology to improve the lives of millions of patients.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, and Go. We’re offering a competitive salary and a generous equity package.

In my experience, they do shutdown groups for it.

They shut down the NZ Hunting Facebook group, which had over 10,000 members because people were selling firearms on it (which is not in violation of New Zealand law).
How often do you give free products negative reviews?
It doesn't really matter.

I mean, sure, it might affect the way this example can be used to make the point, but, in my experience, the thrust of my argument holds in plenty of situations anyway. And I'm not sure I agree anyway: happy is a very subjective judgment.
Given Walmart's deep contributions and investments in the Backbone ecosystem [0], which were impressive in their own right, I'm even more impressed that they seem to have switched to a React-based front end stack in a few years. That seems pretty agile for a company the size of Walmart.

first of all it is illegal to lie like that. so most reviewers will not do that.

also, amazon employs statistic engine (i am afraid to call it ai yet) and also a lot of humans who constantly monitor content (results of which goes back into stats engine)

so yes - they can enforce it on a global scale.
