Fashion doesn't actually change measured in weeks. There is a fairly predictable flow from the next-season designs approved by the fashion elite (think Devil Meets Prada sort of stuff.) The not-too-risky designs there are quickly incorporated by the just-behind-the-curve brands to still make it into the next season and only a year (or more) later the aspects sufficiently palatable for the masses end up at regular retailers.

That means that if you stay in touch with the newest developments it's actually pretty easy to still be sufficiently ahead of the masses to justify a service like this.

And if that sounds remarkably similar to how tech works: I agree with you.
Don't you need to look at the products that hit the mass market?

A successful experiment on Kickstarter isn't really a fair comparison to the Apple I and Apple II, you need the Apple II of the Kickstarter project to make for an interesting comparison.
Just wanted to say: thanks for writing this book, it's really good! I also second your motion that it is a great place to begin, as it's a single coherent source for a nice starting point.
People organise neighbourhood watch WhatsApp groups to prevent crime instead of relying on the police to fix things. Within ten years these groups will probably grow into armed and organised right-wing groups.

I have seen the signs for these WhatsApp groups in my own neighbourhood, but I think you're mischaracterizing them. These groups (and the signs that come with them) have existed for decades: "Attentie, buurtpreventie". They're just embracing modern technology. If their formation inevitably lead to armed militias roaming the streets, then we would've seen them by now.

Groups like these crossing the line would be a result of other changes in Dutch society.

[Wang] promised to eat more than just his hat if Clinton loses: “It is totally over. If Trump wins more than 240 electoral votes, I will eat a bug,”
A) People thought it was in the bag. I live in PA and it was a 6 to 8 point lead.

B) Seriously heard and had emails saying that there would be Trump supporters watching our polls (I live int he third largest city in PA)

C) Very little enthusiasm for Hillary compared to the Super Star Status of Trump.

D) People don't understand that the Democrats had little national power besides the White House and didn't take the election seriously

E) Facts and truth was thrown out the door so there was little to no dialog between the parties. The demonizing of Democrats was unreal. People really believe Hillary is a Satan Worshiper and that Obama is secretly helping ISIS.
Ok, so what is an argument against current levels of immigration to the UK that is neither racist, xenophobic, nor based primarily on economic considerations?
Yep. In my short time working on an R project, I really enjoyed how everything was right there. I'd love to see more REPLs include package managers.
It doesn't make him worse than Bush or Obama.

I'd tend to think that people who express themselves outside of PC-talk, are actually better than those who learned to lie and hide their mischievous thoughts behind socially accepted PC-talk. The later consistenty do much worse things. You can always label bad things under "good" PC-words. How good is that?

Congrats on finishing something! That alone puts you ahead of probably half the game devs out there :) I've also done a few releases of smaller games to get "something" done, warts and all. Learn from it, do better on the next one.

A few months ago I had the idea to combine a bunch of mini games that I could make quickly with a defined scope that wouldn't send me down that rabbit hole, and package them together as a collection. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, even if it hasn't been a commercial success yet. Plus now it's easy to add another minigame or two as an update, which I'm working on right now. For purchasers, the value keeps increasing.

Looks the same to me, still could use editing.

For example:
Thank you for the suggestion, I have edited the question. I made this post in hurry so I did not pay attention to the grammar. (You are right, English is my 2nd language.)

Your english needs some work, but you are not in a bad place. Start sentences off with a capital letter, and avoid fragmented sentences. Additionally, you are using certain words unnecessarily which breaks the flow of the sentence (have for example), and on your main post some words should be reversed. I would also encourage you to always put a space between each word and after a comma (,), let me know if you need any help!

LGBTQ people are still either men or women, so they are always entitled to their rights as men or as women.

Do you mean that because they label themselves LGBTQ they have MORE rights than "normal" people?

How shameful of them of having and keeping more rights! They should be the first to be wanting to relinquish them!
> This is the problem with America today, the technology that was supposed to bring us together actually isolated us into echo chambers and drove us further apart.

Everybody knows where the other echo chamber is. As a democrat, you are free to watch Fox or read Breitbart. The hard thing is to read it open minded. The average democrat HN visitor probably looks there and stops after two sentences. Then leaves ranting about the bullshit there.

The crux is that this the same in reverse. If a Trump supporter watches CNN, he stops after two sentences. Then leaves ranting about the bullshit there.

I have no idea how to fix this.
> Look at Europe... they have the "open mindset" approach and there are more problems there than anywhere in the world (regarding politics, terrorism and common people not being happy)

What? I'll grant you the corrupt politicians and stupid politics, but you get those anywhere and everywhere.

Terrorism? Yeah, sure it seems to have spiked lately, but if you count mass shootings as terrorism I'd wager the US would have more incidences of terrorism than any European nation. The US is also listed as having a higher rank on the Global Terrorism Index for 2015.

And finally, Europe has some of the most highly rated nations in terms of their citizens' happiness, at least the Scandinavians are enjoying themselves.

Whether it's as important now or not is a different matter I suppose, with various targets for the language (including other VMs), but I don't think it's in dispute that originally the extensive java ecosystem was core to what clojure was, and was designed to be.

...but hey, don't take my word for it:

The net result is that the prospects for Clojure going forward are
very good. The core model of Clojure has held up well and continues to
appeal - accessible, robust, thread-safe, efficient dynamic functional
programming, on a world-class infrastructure, with a huge set of
libraries. Oh yeah, and it's great fun!

I read the post as it's intended (which I agree with) but the pejorative use of a human disorder is both unnecessary and adds negative value to those with or are impacted with autism. It's loose usage to colour a point encourages its usage in natural language, degrading people with the disability. Basically it's not needed and has detrimental effects - we can do better.
Grow up and realize that not everyone who disagrees with you is a "shill." This goes for you and for every Trump supporter who made the internet an intellectual wasteland during this election.

Trump won the election but lost the popular vote. Half the country finds him personally repulsive. His presidency will be more contentious than any other in memory. Like any other politician, he will not deliver on his promises and he will not fix complex problems just by being willing to "get things done."

There will never ever be any shortage of people genuinely willing to criticize Trump for free.
Good, find an active project and contribute some minor things, then see if anyone needs something built using that project and do consulting work for them. I believe you can put money directly on the prepaid card Upwork gives out, while paying 4% or 5% instead of Upwork's fees, I'd use that for payment on small jobs.
Trump had a consistent record of telling lies during the campaign. He may have been honest about his racism but he was dishonest about a whole bunch of other things.
5 Dicas Para Uma Barriga Fantástica No Pós-Parto
I immediately stop reading when i see sentences like "The Media Lied To Us About EVERYTHING". This is stupid and i don't trust the author anymore. It's a huge red flag. Did the NYTimes ever openly lie (That's not publishing false information)? I only read it for american/international news, but they always seemed very trustworthy and many trustworthy people declared it trustworthy (the guardian and my favourite newspaper, the german sueddeutsche Zeitung are all working with it).

I know about the emails and the investigation, that's nothing new. Please don't write articles about how everybody forgot about wikileaks and how much leaked emails you were posting in social media, because i don't care. These are not facts, they don't help me understand how trump won.

Also it was a very, very close race. Especially in Florida, i was glued to the screen.

EDIT: i read the whole article. Its clickbait. It never even starts trying to explain how hillary lost. It just states things not supported by facts like "Bernie Sanders Would Have Beat Trump". I would like to see Bernie beating Trump, but it is 100% opinion. No facts supported this claim. A third of the article is a positive outlook for the trump-presidency, which has nothing to do with the headline and what i expected to read. Also the first third is all about the leaked wikileaks emails, but no facts are presented that support the conclusion that they were even that important. I doubt it, of course it's a scandal, but the candidates were too different to let the emails be the decisive factor.

I want to understand how hillary lost, but i want facts, polls, interviews, data and experts analysing the data. Not somebody rambling about how he knew it all along.

You're thinking of Greg Egan's idea of "Stateless", the illegal biotech'ed island. In that story, the technology and the island defends egalitarian principles and organized 'no-ruler-ship' (anarchy).

You're right that they're 2 very different investments, but I don't think you can say unequivocally that #1 is better than #2. It all depends on desired returns, risk, etc. Let's face it, if you had given money to Apple in 1976 there was a good chance you were never seeing that money again.

Most EU immigration is to London and the South East, somewhere that already feels like it's creaking at the seems and overcrowded.

We could start a massive programme of building houses and infrastructure, but that would further change the face of the country. Limiting immigration would alleviate some of the pressure.

That's just one off the top of my head.

Remember, the point made in this article is not that you have to agree. The point is that calling people mad and shouting them down as racist is toxic to politics and drives people away.

--edit--

I also find it strange when people bring up racism in the context of limiting migration from the EU - a region primarily peopled by white Europeans.
'normal conditions' vary widely, normalisation to a lowest common denominator allows for easier comparison.

The other extreme end is the young students assumption, "you don't need to know everything, just where you can find it", but the ammount of stuff I have to look up repeatedly increases exponentially with, eg, every wiki-page I read and that just takes too long to the point of impossibility.

How to write mathematics badly
The biggest gains are at the lower end. Far more gas is saved by going from 10mpg to 20mpg than from 20mpg to 40mpg. Just look at the math:

10,000 miles per year at 10 mpg = 1000 gallons of gas

10,000 miles per year at 20 mpg = 500 gallons of gas

10,000 miles per year at 40 mpg = 250 gallons of gas

You save 500 gallons going from 10 -> 20 mpg, but only 250 gallons going from 20-> 40.

Of course it's best to use the highest mpg you can, but the benefit drops proportionally as it gets higher, so it's harder to justify the extra expense when a lower mpg vehicle (but still relatively high) might be much less expensive to buy and maintain and possibly even have less environmental impact to manufacture. After all someone has to mine the Lithium etc. in all those batteries.

Software development is hard, and finding out what the client actually needs is half the battle & part of the job before doing anything significant on Upwork or just as a consultant.

Often, I find businesses don't understand what they need to operate more efficiently, but when you show it to them, or bring them a mostly formed plan, they are much more likely to get what they need you to build. It all comes down to understanding what the client actually needs, not the lies they unknowingly tell you.
People buy trucks for two purposes: utility (ability to haul loads, etc) and transportation. The higher utility comes at a price (more gas), and in general this balances with how frequently you require the the utility of a truck. Currently, gas prices are low, so someone who uses the utility less frequently may be more inclined to purchase a truck.

In energy policy, Trump wants to make coal more affordable compared to renewables. Applying similar logic, he should work to enact legislation to prohibit automated vehicles or make them very expensive so they can't be deployed widely.

In 2020, Trump can point to this piece of legislation and tell voters: "Silicon Valley billionaires tried to put a million truckers and taxi drivers out of work, but I prevented that!"

I wonder how that would sit with Peter Thiel.

Anyone who expects the upcoming all-Republican government to be innovation-friendly may be in for a rude awakening. I have a feeling that many "job protection" solutions from Congress will be similar in spirit to the state laws that prevent Tesla from selling cars directly. In other words, there will be more legislation that's friendly to established business but hostile to SV's cherished "disruption". (Republican voters said loud and clear that they haven't liked being disrupted.)

Then again there were 3,378 new fed regulations totalling 81,611 pages in 2015. It can be counter productive if the new regulations are so voluminous that no one has time to read them.

I ran into problems along those lines in the UK buying some stuff in Spain. Apparently "don't money launder" translates in to a 1 ft high stack of EU regulations that no one understands. I'm not convinced they are hugely better than the three word version.
That is a really good idea.

I wonder about this. I'm pretty new to js frameworks and I see the advantage when things need to scale or get very complex, and I get that companies use these things. But for a simple assignment like this, is it better to use vanilla js and maybe handlebars, or "show off" that you can implement all the routes and whatnot in Angular, even though that's overkill? Or maybe the interviewee's justification of their choice teaches you that they understand the trade offs.

80MB/s sequential reads or writes is probably something consumer HDDs can survive for several years. The platters are always spinning, the only difference is that now the drive is continuously reading or writing what's under the head. It's the random accesses (and associated seeks) which stresses them.

There are various comparisons out there which conclude "datacenter-grade" is largely a marketing/warranty thing; the drives themselves may be nearly identical in design.
