It's extremely different - in the UK, private healthcare exists at the margins and most is done through the NHS. Whereas in the US system it's all private: ObamaCare doesn't actually provide any care for people. There are no ObamaCare federal hospitals. At best I think it spends some federal money on subsidising some kinds of insurance?

It also includes mandatory purchasing of health insurance, which (while necessary to make a fully private system work) is philosophically objectionable to most people.

(The NHS is a fully state owned system that nonetheless has an internal market, which some commentators have called "playing at shops".)

Yes, this is an incredibly easy fix. Perhaps it is me but sometimes it seems that nobody wants to write decent software anymore. I have seen software from giants like Cisco and BT that is abysmal.

It is disheartening to those of us who enjoy writing decent software, particularly decent native software.

They probably just monitored what files the spotify client had open, or on Windows uses something like Process Monitor and monitored the program's activities. It would have seen a file open command pretty soon.

And once they saw it open the sqlite.db, all they needed to do was run sqlite3 on the command line against the DB file and see if there was history in the file.

It is possible that the Android client does the same as sqlite3 is the underlying database format for apps and is very easy to use.

That's a bit rough. I think you are missing the other value proposition for SO: in a world of poorly documented interfaces, it gives cogent, vetted examples of what works. And you still need to have expertise to know which solutions are crap vs gold.

In the 'old days' you had maybe one or two languages and the language was the thing (not vast libraries like Java or .NET .. oh excuse me, the guys who used to get teased for the size of the CMS VAX reference are barely a man page in comparison to modern libraries) -- and now we have a proliferation of languages. Any web dev these days has to know at least 5, maybe more. Any old-timer has had to learn dozens during their career.

So no, I'm not going to use my precious grey-storage to remember an arcane Perl invocation when I can find it easily on SO.

Perhaps I don't meet your definition of 'programmer', but I've seen many junior devs get trapped in SO 'solutions' and wonder how I can possibly glance through 30 solutions and categorize them: "crap, crap, doesn't know what they are talking about, cargo cult, ... ah, there it is.. that's what we should try."

> As a highly educated physician who voted for Brexit, I find your interpretation of the "Brexit movement" woefully incorrect.

It's interesting that a "highly educated physician" can't draw a distinction between one potentially anomalous datapoint -- their own characteristics -- and the data drawn from the characteristics of 15 million people. I had thought the makeup of the two respective movements were well-known.

Remain voters are more likely to be degree educated, and to live in a large metropolitan area which experiences significant immigration. Leave voters are more likely to be older, have tertiary college or a GCSE as their highest form of education, and live in a smaller cities, towns, and villages.

> There are plenty of well informed, well read and intelligent people who feel that the concept of the European Union no longer provides a net benefit to Britain.

By and large they're shuffling about with their tails between their legs at the moment as every single fiscal institution's observations about what a disaster a "leave" vote would be comes true, but you're right and I don't dispute this. The point I made is that the aggregate view of the leave movement -- and you can find this as galling as you like -- is of an uneducated, parochial, and ageing demographic.

> No doubt there are plenty of well educated Americans who voted for Trump too.

This is true, and is entirely unrelated to my original post. Amongst the college-educated, Trump won men and women by the bucketload (I think the only category he didn't win was college-educated white women but it was still a close-run thing).
I respectfully dissagree. It had nothing to do with the gender of the founder.

0. I glanced at the title, and figured it was a man in charge. I haven't even read the article.

1. Burning through money is becomming too common place. I honestly couldn't read another one of these.

2. I had no idea the founder was female.

3. I don't know anything about the company, but figured it was a sex toy company, or trying to copy Hot Topic. I pictured a bunch of VC's thinking "Ah--underserved demographics? Maybe we could pull off a Victoria's Secret? I used Victoria's Secret as a bad example. I imagine the business concept is more like Abercrombie & Finch. "Those parents have money we can get through their kids? Beautiful?"

4. Just looking at the title, I pictured a founder spending way to much money on the location of the start-up, and asthetics of the work place.

5. In the back of my mind, I thought they might have been better off without all that money, and worked out of someone's garage. (I have a sister that started a shoe company out of her garage, and still doesn't have much of a web presence. She was lucky she was living in Los Angeles. She's pretty, and persuasive. Doesn't have much morality, or ethics, but that's what made her millions--sadly.)

6. I didn't read it because these failures are just starting, and it's too early to hear about another one.

7. I thought VC's were suspose to be about good advice too?

8. I am watching to many companies play business. They get money, and think they are a business. The too nice office. All the typical b.s.

9. Unrelated to this company, but what's up with going after companies that can crush you. I'm being bombarded with "Let it go". I will give them this, at least they spent it on advertising.

10. And maybe I'm completely wrong about the failure of this company? I will read the article now. I hope I'm wrong. I hope they were frugal. I hope the tried to sell something original, and made with quality, and care. I hope they didn't put up a flashy website, and sell a bunch of non-bespoke Chinese crap.

11. So--why did I write this; because it has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with what we are all seeing right now. A lot of excess, and seemingly bad advice from VC's. Oh, yea--most typical Silicon Valley VC's shouldn't advise on fashion.
How much money can you send back to your family every month from Federal prison?
That's really not true[1]. You can only use hashable types, which excludes dicts, lists and sets.

For example (tested on both python 2.7 and 3.4):

>>> {{'a': 1}: 2}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'
>>> {[1,2,3]: 4}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'
>>> {{1,2,3}: 4}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'set'

Objects inheriting from object are hashable by default, but the hash is based on the objects instance such that each instance will return a unique value for that instance:

>>> class A(object):
... def __init__(self):
... self.x = 1
...
>>> a = A()
>>> b = A()
>>> d = {a: 1, b: 2}
>>> a.x = 10
>>> b.x = 10
>>> d[a]
1
>>> d[b]
2

While this makes sense for the instance stored in the dict (because mutability would otherwise mean that they key changes values), I don't think this is particularly useful. I rarely look up dicts by instance, but rather by value. That is, I would construct another object with the same attributes and look up by that.

You can, of course, implement your own __hash__ to make it work, but you have to do it manually for any object you want it and most third-party objects won't have implemented it so you'd have to monkey patch them.

Contrast that with Clojure, where all built-in data structures (maps, sets, lists, dicts etc) work as keys out of the box.

[1] I guess its true in the sense that you can implement __hash__ to make it work. But its not particularly easy or idiomatic.
Pair programming is great to get junior people or people just coming in up to speed.

If you put me and another senior next to each other to use just one computer and make us do that consistently, we would both quit the job by friday. Pair programming is a great way to cut your productivity in half (2 people doing the job of one). We trust each other anyway, there's no point in watching each other like hawks. We can just do our own thing and then CR the other guy.

Pair programming is another one of those schemes employed to make people feel pressured into not slacking under the pretense of it being new and edgy and kinda cool. Its great, nobody ever slacks. You just burn out within months.

If you don't think pair programming is retarded, please ask a welder how he would feel about pair-welding. Complete and utter bullshit.

^ I'm talking about professionals. Not brogrammers. Not node.js clowns. Those people could all use some supervision. But sticking two great engineers with lots of experience together like that will jsut reduce productivity and will to live.
Yeah, we have access to the whole Node.js ecosystem :-) it's also possible to npm install a package and use it from Lumo. The Node require resolution algorithm just works.
Excellent. That was by far your best candidate. I still have a grudge with this, though:

> of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries

I think that wages need to converge worldwide, and I have the impression that it is difficult to achieve that without wages going down in developed countries. That does not necessarily mean decreased standard of living, since any reduction in wages can be compensated by a better (somehow) redistribution of the increased profits that globalization offers.

Concentration of wealth must stop, humongous profits without taxes must stop, double-Irish backdoors must stop, tax heavens must stop.
Hah, I've heard that stateside on many occasions, I think it may have been a line in Malcolm in the Middle at one point too.

We are completely serious about building it. We are working hard towards that goal. The team is 90% industry vets with very long careers designing and making real chips in devices that really ship and are really still used in their billions today, so we know what we're doing and just how long its going to take. We're bootstrapped so we can't complete with chipzilla on timescales, but we really desperately want to get Mill goodness out there as quick as humanly possible :)
There's a lot of dismissive hate in this thread, but this was a genuinely successful company before things went sour. I've heard about it many times from my wife. Amoruso has a very scrappy tale about how she launched the company, and she created a brand that many people loved. The site was well designed, and the company had very rapid growth.

This wasn't an VC investment born out of the bubble. Retail requires more money than a startup that makes apps, and this one had a great growth trajectory. Obviously, things went south, but that does occasionally happen to a VC investment.

Similarly, I don't think it's fair to dismiss Amoruso out of hand just because the company has now failed. Many startup founders are great at launching companies, but not so good at running them once they reach a certain size. This seems to be what happened here. There definitely is something to be learned by how she built the company and brand.

This typeclasses discussion reminds me a lot of complaints about Go's lack of generics. Even without this "glaring shortcoming" Go became the de facto winner in the ops space, by staying a simple language with a smaller learning surface. Elm could be walking down the same route.

Personally I find composability under The Elm Architecture more of an issue than pure language abstractions.
I'm not sure. On older machines it was more obvious where shoddy craftsmanship was as you had less resources to use. Now it is hidden a bit more but I never ever accepted it as the "accepted way" to produce software.

Others might have, but I don't think it was ever encouraged to write daft loops or short timers to write data.

It is interesting that the styles of writing code (eg doing dynamic casts at runtime a lot) has real impacts on performance and speed. Stroustrup wrote an interesting paper (must find it) where he encouraged static code generation rather than runtime dynamic checks all the time. It means we have to think a bit harder when designing software and writing it, but it is worth it for all our sakes (less CPU time to do the same thing, less power used etc)

'addressed' is not the same as 'respected'.
The OP's point was without internet access you can't find solutions made by others for problems you might not frequently run into in your daily job.

Example: you have a failing install of a package in a linux version you never used before where the solution would be to increase ulimit but you are applying for a frontend position so you don't even know what ulimit is, but by a quick search on google for the error message there is an article providing a 1 liner for this issue.
I wonder one thing.

How are you going to pickup who to run as a president, since usually most presidents candidates (except Trump, obviously) comes from senators and congress?

Very well put.

For all the reasons people do/claim to vote for Trump because of, the "he says what's on his mind, he's anti-PC" always stood out the most, when things like this come up.

* Bringing facts to the conversation isn't acceptable.

* Calling Trump out for the things he actually says and does isn't acceptable.

* Insulting Trump by calling him an insecure man-child isn't acceptable, because he'll sue.

Trump was a buffoon 2, 10 and 20 years ago, and he is a buffoon now. That he somehow magically got elected doesn't actually change that, and it amazes me what we're all willing to forget, and how fast.

Merit doesn't actually matter anymore. We'll rather elect a misogynistic, racist, incompetent, inexperienced ill-tempered man than the qualified, boring, moderate woman.

Sorry for hijacking and possibly ruining your eloquent post, but all this honestly baffles me.

Except then it might not have had as much uptake (tooling, existing Java libraries, installability to various providers and interoperability with existing systems etc.).

Now that Clojure has a varied and excellent set of libraries of its own maybe some of this is less important, but not all (the ability to interact with existing Java systems is still very useful).

The difference is that both Planck and Replete run on JavascriptCore, while Lumo runs on Node.js and V8.

That I completely agree with, there's a lot of lobbying done to obfuscate regulations and tax code for that reason, and it should be dealt with. I was merely pointing out that it's not just a binary issue, like the proposals in the .pdf suggests.
Ouch. I worked in ecommerce for five years myself and thought the companies that spent 20-50k on a site we could knock out with prebuilt components in a week or two was rough. Apparently we should have been tacking some zeros on there.
You're making these two points:

(#1) Apple was doing something distinctive.

(#2) Nasty Gal is not doing something distinctive and needs millions of dollars just to be noticed.

On that basis alone, something like #1 is a much better investment than something like #2.

" I voted for Obama on pledges he'd end the war in Iraq and close down the constitutional abomination that is Guantanamo. 8 years later and here we are."

Obama earnestly tried to close Guantanimo.

He's a lawyer, and should have known better.

Guantanimo is a geostrategic issue - that only 'looks like' a Constitutional problem.

The problem is there are some very, very bad people in Guantanimo - and putting them through the American justice system would not work. Obama figured this out.

Paradox:

1) US Servicement are subject to a different legal system than Americans - harsher in many ways - but Dems wanted to put terrorist on US soil, subjecting them to regular courts - it would have been a farce.

2) US Soldiers are not the FBI. They don't do fingerprints. The kinds of evidence/investigation required to convict someone in US courts (meant for citizens) ... the defense attorneys could have easily kicked out the cases against the terrorists.

3) Many of these terrorists were caught on the battlefield. They could have been killed there - and none would have been the wiser. A young Canadian, was caught attacking US servicemen - and killed a medic. He was shot in combat, and was dying. US Special Forces arrived and medivaced and then applied super USA field medical technology to save this 'terrorist'. Then he was held at Guantanimo - in a really odd legal situation.

He was just a kid, but many of these guys are really, really bad characters, caught on the battlefield.

They don't belong in the US justice system.

So they go to Guantanimo and stay in limbo.

If you ask me - many of them deserve it.

As for the 'regular combatants' - that's too bad - I wish where were some way to reintegrate them, I think it happened with some.

Anyhow - the realities of the situation hit Obama - and the above issues are far to explain to Dems in a populist manner.

Obama orders people to die in drones strikes. Not so 'peace and love eh'? He does it because he has to, and he knows it.

Obama's 1st term was pretty good.

2cnd term, he didn't accomplish much, that said, he did not have the power.
