MLB has a ton of issues in their streaming.

- If you're watching a game on say a 50 minute delay, the live CDN gets shut off about 10 minutes after the broadcast ends and you actually can't finish the stream for 40 minutes while they move it over to the VOD CDN. So if I have a meeting or whatever in the 3rd, it'll shut off in the 7th. I confirmed this bug with a friend I know there.

- Most of the players can't remember where you were in stream across crashes and definitely not across machines.

- Player constantly resets settings and switch to showing you the scores.

- Not technical but the audio recaps ALWAYS use the broadcasters from the winning team. So no need to watch a 7 minute recap of the game, first word uttered by the broadcasters tell you who won.

- Player won't re-upgrade the stream quality after it downgrades it.

- Player can't recover from a stopped stream.

- Player is in flash still on desktop. Which is blocked by my work firewall.

- Only their phone support does anything.

- They don't trim out rain delays, so you can sit there for 5 hours on a VOD during a rain delay. You "could" skip to the next inning but you have to turn on spoilers if it happens mid inning (which happens often).

- You can jump to the top and bottom of most innings. Playstation and desktop apps often lose their minds and restart.

- You can't skip past pitching changes even though they're a standard 2 minutes.

- Watching the tv broadcast but changing to a radio audio crashes the ps4 app.

- Fire TV app, when you select "From Beginning" on a stream you're starting late always jumps live. If you chose live, you can't rewind at all.

- If network is down the app loads that there are no games on the calendar and leaves it cached as empty. You have to restart the app to fix it.

- They show very little of the color commentary from the field, only booth stuff.

- Watching a vod you have to fast forward 12-18 minutes to find the beginning of the game.

- Inning start markers often are often placed as far as 2-3 batters in. I've seen 2 outs in before.

- The web version has tons of issues, I mostly use the ps4 app as it's more stable.

- The mobile apps require you to have full GPS turned on, which is great for battery life when you're already streaming.

- You cannot time shift radio broadcasts of games. You can't pause them either.

- If a radio broadcast buffers to much it just stops playing and you have to use the app to restart it.

- Getting to a broadcast on mobile requires jumping through a bunch of hoops all trying to show you the score.

- You can't time shift on mobile.

- I CANNOT STREAM THE AUDIO OF THE GAME AT THE STADIUM BECAUSE IT'S BLACKED OUT. NOR CAN I WATCH THE GAME I AM SITTING AT FOR THE SAME REASON. I did sit at the 2nd to last mariners game while watching the Cardinals game and separately the Giants game on my laptop and phone. Which was fun.

There are more but I forget.
I assume that most of them fail to get the logic right. Yes, even those the logic might seem to be trivial, a lot would fail to either get even the pseudocode correct. Many others would fail to translate it correctly into code (even in their preferred language).
is it wrong to be suspicious of things that have to do with saudi arabia these days, or am i biased? is this good?
On the one hand, I think you're right to an extent - when I travel, I've almost always booked all my accommodation, car hire and so on in advance, all mediated through the Internet, and making my plans relatively inflexible. The internet definitely advantages the "well curated" stuff.

On the other hand, technology has also enabled more flexibility in travel. When my grandmother went on her once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe 30 years ago, she spent all day on bus tours, going wherever the tour company had chosen to take her. When my father and I went to China, South Korea and Japan two years ago, the only bus tours we went on were to visit the Great Wall and the DMZ. Our accommodation? Bar one location, all booked through sites like Hostelworld. Our air tickets? Booked directly by us, over the internet. We got to choose where and when we did things. Sure, backpackers and so on have been travelling with independence before we had the internet to help us, but technology has brought this independence to a far wider audience with a lower appetite for uncertainty and risk.
I find it a bit ironic that after complaining that Apple keyboards have lost all of their "sound" and "force", he goes out and buys a keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches, which have no tactility, no feedback, and very low actuation force.
r isn't the growth rate of capital's share of income though.

r represent the return on capital (which is proportional to capital's share of income), not the growth rate of the return on capital, or the growth rate of capital's (share of) income.

On the other hand, g isn't the return on labor, or labor's share of income. It's (approximately) the growth rate of the return on labor.

Would you rather have $100 and then get 200% of it every year (r = 200%) or get an amount that increases at 100% every year (g = 100%) starting with $1? With the second option you'll have twice as much money in just 11 years. So in this picture income eventually wins, even though r > g. It's not just "not a formula" it is total nonsense. It doesn't make sense to compare a growth rate of an amount to a growth rate of an annual increase!
The thing is Von Neumann is an extreme outlier in terms of human mental ability and achievement.

- liked to read books whilst driving

- on his death-bed, reciting, by heart and word-for-word, the first few lines of each page of Goethe's Faust

- always had a stack of books next to his bed that he was reading

It seems plausible that if he could retain everything he read he would want to read as much as possible.

I haven't come across any first-hand account of people explicitly saying this was bullshit, other than skepticism from people who never knew him. There's always going to be skepticism on outlier events.

Here's an interesting post about this memory: http://overweeninggeneralist.blogspot.co.za/2011/11/john-von...

> What's funny to me is that I have several neighbors who fervently describe themselves as pro-capitalist libertarians. Yet, when I'm out of coffee or I need my driveway plowed, they do it for free. Why is that? Probably because we are all friends and have common culture and mutual trust.

I don't wish to presume anything about you specifically, but I find that your neighbor's behavior only seems paradoxical to those who don't understand what it's actually like to think like and be a libertarian. It's not that libertarians want to assign a price tag to every interaction (as if money were the only thing of value) it's that they would rather appeal to people's self interest to achieve social outcomes than resort to force (which they see as an inevitable result of any form of socialism/communism).

> When people invoke the idea of communism they usually mean: why can't we all have a society where we all act as neighbors. Sure, that's a daunting goal, of course. But, it's no less impossible as when people invented the idea of the social contract. Or any of the other million inventions that people said were crazy or impossible.

A distributist/communitarian might say that, regardless of whether we can be neighborly with all of mankind, we can certainly be neighborly with people who are actually our neighbors, and thus we should aspire to the former without sacrificing the latter. Yet sacrificing the latter is what I tend to see from those who invoke the idea of communism.
Have you ever used a keyboard with Cherry MX Reds? It's actually great fun and certainly has that mechanic feel to it.
I should add - I do think the learning curve is much worse than it should be, in part due to this.

It would be nice if Google provided some more recommendation and best practices & patterns around this. I have come across and had to work on plenty of code that handles this all very poorly.
This is a terrible article, in every way. Mechanical keyboard jerking has reached the peak, it's not even funny anymore.
That doesn't really make sense. r isn't a growth rate of the share of ownership on capital. It's a return on capital, i.e. the growth rate of capital. r implies nothing about the change in total value of capital assets. Total capital assets could double or halve and r wouldn't have to change. in fact, under most circumstances, the value of capital assets and the return on capital move in opposite directions.

Does it come with a PS2->USB adapter so you can connect it via a PS2 port? Better input handling than USB :)
Yup, I've tried most of the common switches, but ended up getting blues. Obviously it depends on personal preference, but I'm just saying that if you want a tactile, clicky keyboard, reds are usually not your first pick.
> Such transitions are also a part of living during the historically amazing times of an accelerated tech curve.

The MBP is not bleeding edge on that curve, it is (kind of, sort of) near the top-ish. They made a lot of changes for the Future! without adding, you know, actual cutting edge components (from ram to the cpu/gpu chip(s)).

The whole thing breaks down further when you compound this new (old) hardware with the problems macOS will inevitably have. As each release, in my experience, has had significant issues for months with sometimes show stopping bugs. Can't wait to be served an ad on that shitty little screen...
Actually maybe it didn't come across clearly, but I was saying it would be ideal if the article actually gave some kind of useful information such as the fake example that I provided. You are actually asking me the exact question I wish to ask of the person who wrote the original article.. basically can they please provide a real example versus the whole "the unemployment rate is low and the minimum wage is high!" and no mention of the obvious correlation vs. causation argument.
No. I have a waterproof nec terrain. The headphone jack only has a simple non watertight flap to keep dust out. While every other orifice has rubber seals. I think mfgrs have figure out waterproofing headphones long ago.
The direct juxtaposition of this criticism

> This seems like an awfully broad conclusion to draw.

and this anecdote

> It is indisputable that minimum wage kills or exports some jobs (I know this is a fact because my company is planning to add fewer low wage employees and contractors in our local area based largely on minimum wage changes)

is excellent. Admittedly early data about a major metropolitan economy? Pfft. A single anecdote? The basis for claiming that an empirical claim is indisputably true.
Thank you for your feedback :)

Wow, I had no idea the situation was that bad in the northeast. That's honestly terrible for a supposedly first-world country. Here are the solutions I've enacted for myself in no particular order:

- Don't live in the northeast.

- Don't drive in bad weather conditions.

- Don't organize your life around automobiles such that you can't manage daily life without one.

> if you don't understand the use case where structural sharing in persistent immutable data structures is useful

No need to insinuate that I don't understand. I've used it extensively in production and I think most code-bases are better off without Immutable.

> However, if, for example, you are maintaining maps containing many items which are updated frequently, then you may benefit from the time and space complexity of structurally shared maps (Immutable.js) rather than creating a full copy on each mutation (plain JS objects).

It was exactly this situation, maintaining maps with thousands of GeoJSON features and working on these items, where I found Immutable to fall short. The parsing/building of the data-structure alone took, If I recall correctly, about 50 times longer than with normal JS-objects.
I must admit I don't understand this graph, from the context, yes, but from the graph alone I don't

> there's no "middleman" unless you are using an e-mail forwarding service

Each time an e-mail passes through an e-mail service that service is required to add a "Received" header to the e-mail. So you can easily check out of your real e-mails to see if you are using any middleman or not. The first e-mail I opened looks like this:

So what I'm not clear on, and I wish people would provide some real example would be this issue of how businesses that currently employ people working at minimum wage actually are affected -- do they pass on the cost increase to their customers, hire less people, accept less profits, or are the increases in cost offset by more sales. I personally don't like the idea of a minimum wage being set by random politicians. So if $15 is good and it helps the economy, then why now $25/hour? I mean sure let's raise it or whatever so their is some base level of the ability for people to live, but where is the point of diminishing returns, I would actually like to know rather than just be like, $15/hr, yay!! Then 3 years later, "based upon the great success of $15/hr, lets go to $18/hr!!" its like uh ok what is the background reason for stating that the economy can absorb it other than saying "I dunno, I want my boss to pay me $18/hr, so lets vote yes!" Of course if he hires less people because of that (and I'm not fearmongering, I'm just saying lets say that actually happens), then that's not good right?
Or the employers decide it now makes sense to invest in infrastructure or automation so that fewer or perhaps even no workers are required. Elevator attendants are the classic example.
> they perceive the comments as extra complexity

This surprised me as well, but 2 lines of code with 10 lines of comment gets a panic reaction while 4 lines of code is ok.
That's a strange example to use, because MLB has been offering live streaming for almost a decade now.

"capitalism capitalism capitalism" - Absolutely all countries are capitalistic including USSR and North Korea. The only difference is who controls the capital. To be for or against capitalism is the same as to be for or against the wind. Ironically in free market capitalism capital actually belongs to people and the more left leaning the country is the more capital and power belongs to some of the selected few who got there not because of their merits but for being good politicians or in worse cases by simply using power and intimidation. Results are always bad.
I live in California, 4br house with four adults. We use about 200kWh/month in the summer time which is basically just lights, electronics, and fridge (water and stove are gas), and 1000kWh/month peak in the winter time because we heat our rooms with electric space heaters.

We don't own the house so there's not much we can do about it. The windows aren't really insulating at all, and there's one old gas heater that doesn't work, although even when it did it all the heat just went straight up the stairs.

In the summer the upstairs gets extremely hot. But our rent is very cheap compared to other places in the bay area, so we are afraid to bother the landlord about these things. #freemarket

It'll probably happen by 2020, at the rate they're shedding customers. Their contract with the NFL will be up in 2021; does anyone really think the NFL will ask for less money for Monday Night Football?
See it this way. On one side you have a group this person cares about. On the other side there is this person, you, he doesn't care about. Maybe he just doesn't count you as part of the group as he says "we techies"? Then he's not speaking for you, right?

It's not so political correct, but that is how we techies are. Get used to it if you want to deal with us.
That's very generous of you but I do have a treasured copy myself. Thanks! :)
> The NFL has allowed players to hijack the sport platform to make their own political points.

Is this the same NFL that started forcing their players to stand for the Anthem in 2011, and the same NFL that did a deal with the US Department of Defense to allow patriotic displays of support for the troops during games?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/11/04...

You've got a lot of nerve saying the NFL "allowed its players" to hijack the game with poliical bullshit. The NFL led the charge, and made money doing it.

I wonder whether the Swiss system of proportional representation contributes to the relative sanity and/or to the Swiss people's confidence in the system. As a British person, I envy people who live in countries with proportional representation, but I don't understand the Swiss system.
Right, so it's not at all out of reach. You can configure your OS to use a VPN in under a minute, in my experience. Maybe five, if you were following directions.

It also takes a few minutes to change your smoke-detector batteries...
If you work in one of these (misguided) open-plan offices, ask you co-workers if the noise bothers them. Whatever they say, take your mechanical keyboard home and play with it there. There's no good reason to inflict that noise on your co-workers. They'll appreciate it even if they won't call you out on it.

> You can also go to art school to make those social connections to the larger art world - the art world is nothing but a huge web of social ties. I found that part of it pretty dark and disgusting, really. I just wasn't willing to stab so many people in the back to get ahead.

This is true of every profession. Politics is a part of human life. Academia is absolutely rife with this, business obviously; and you can argue that engineering and certain other professions are 'more' merit driven, but in the end this is only true at the bottom of the pile. Once you hit the threshold where you have sufficiently competitive domain knowledge, then the value of your position is determined by a balance of factors which begin to have more and more equal weight:

Can you get along with anyone? Do you have a strong network which can help drive business? Can you sometimes make hard decisions? Can you formulate a larger view of the landscape?

Of course these things count to a varying degree at all stages of a career, but there is either no such thing as a 'pure' meritocracy - because this is a fundamentally one-dimensional, naive view of the world; or it is a meritocracy by definition, and 'merit' is measure of outcomes.

It's the total opposite for me. I used mechanical keyboards for over a decade but I'm just much faster and accurate on modern non-technical keyboards. Every now and again I get the nostalgia and hookup one of the many mechanical keyboards I've collected over the years. After about an hour of nostalgia back into a box it goes.
Cross-browser compatibility? That is mostly moot with modern browsers. You really do not know how bad it was in the IE5/IE6 days. Browser compatibility is positively dreamy these days. It is getting better.
I disagree that this has anything to do with information overload or "our generation". It has been true ever since traveling became affordable for the middle class. They were called "tour guides" (both human and in paper form) and many, many people booked a trip and followed them obediently. And those who looked into relaxing often went to the same few tourist resorts filled to the brim, since it was almost impossible to find out whether other places even had lodgings.
