We've been using Aurelia in production since early beta. Have a half dozen live projects in it now, including Cordova apps (but not Electron apps).

It's been great. Very easy to work with and good performance these days. The best part IMO is that you don't really get sucked into an Aurelia-or-nothing situation. It's not hard to work with other techs right inside your Aurelia app. We often had a dev that was less familiar with the possibilities in Aurelia do stuff using technologies they already knew, and then we'd convert it to use Aurelia methods later after the feature was proven.

Most of the gotchas I've run across are related to observing arrays. By default some array mutations aren't caught. There are ways around this by manually importing the BindingEngine and setting up a subscription, or using @observable on a property, but before you figure that out array observation is a bit vexing. It's not that these other methods are hard, it's that you have an expectation of collection observations and the way it works (largely for performance reasons) doesn't mesh with that.

It does pay to have someone familiar with Aurelia and not all dabblers. We do a good bit of advanced stuff like dynamically generating bindings based on conditions defined in data (e.g. show/hide this form field if these other arbitrary form fields have these arbitrary values, which can be changed by the user, and automatically rebind to the new fields when conditions are changed). Doable if you use some of the more core Aurelia features, but not really something you can do with just the basic surface APIs.

Aurelia or not, all of our architecture is front end + app-agnostic API. Backend devs don't need to give a crap about Aurelia if they don't want. If you mean "is it easy for backend devs to do front end work using this?", I don't know because we don't have any pure backend guys for me to use for reference.
The nice thing about this hidden in plain sight solution is that the location of the medals could be communicated among a small community of colleagues if necessary without the need for a messy paper trail. A set of coordinates or a treasure map is a lot less reliable in that it can be lost or intercepted.
It pretends to be a fact, not opinion.
I don't think that is the reason, because doesn't redraw work the same on iOS and Android?

Consider that Californian's pay about $290 Billion to the Feds and the state collects about $70 billion. Do other small countries pay most of their taxes to a larger central organization?
Much of that Federal money gets shunted to other states.
The star button on Github is kind of similar to "liking" a repo. Stargazers, I'm guessing, are the group of people that have clicked the star button on a repo.
Washington kind of has this for federal offices (other than president) and state offices. The top two winners of the primary make it to the final election, regardless of party affiliation. We had one state race between a Democrat and a Libertarian, and my congressional district had a choice between two Democrats (though one was 'normal' and the other was a self-proclaimed socialist).
An RSS feed is just a periodically updated XML file with an URL. If your decentralized internet can't present a file at an address (the use case for ever single web page ever), it's not actually going to be the internet.
For basically all offices but POTUS that's what California effectively has. Except it is implemented badly as a "top-two primary" system. This virtually guarantees that most partisan elections will exclude anyone outside the two biggest parties. It is not very healthy.
The technology is able to harness a temperature gradient regardless of its direction, but you're right that the larger the gradient the better it works.
I typically go to the state registrar of voters for official vote counts. Aggregating them over multiple states is hard though.

It's a long play because engineering those cases (including thermal) is very difficult. So Apple typically uses the same case through several revisions of the internals, to defray the costs.

What this means is that the very first model released with a new case is usually underpowered, because the chips are not quite as powerful and power efficient as the (upcoming) chips the case was optimized for.

For this and other reasons I tend to not buy the first version of a new Apple product.

No NYC subway lines drop to 1/hr late night. Some lines stop running entirely, and others switch to making local stops, but the scheduled late-night headway is 20 minutes between trains [1] on all lines that run at night. It's been that way the whole time I've lived here (a decade) at least, probably longer.

Obviously this can be affected by track maintenance, police activity, etc but that's not the norm.

Other rapid transit systems in the area are a bit worse, but still not 1/hr. PATH late-night headway is 35 minutes; Staten Island Railroad's is 30 minutes.

The commuter rail systems (LIRR, MetroNorth, NJ Transit) may indeed drop to 1/hr or worse per line, but that makes more sense for heavy rail.

Step 0: Agree, on the condition that any alert received outside working hours becomes a priority task for someone the next day -- whether that means them fixing a bug, adjusting the alert, or investigating and explaining why the cause is extremely unlikely to recur.

This is working well for me, has improved the service for users, and has made our monitoring system much more useful. (Alerts used to be about as accurate as "Main website broken", but are now more like "microservice X is taking >10s to respond".)
Can someone shed some light on why we should care about the non-dictatorship requirement in Arrow's theorem? Reading the non-dictatorship section on the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy makes it sound like it's a meaningless assumption. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/arrows-theorem/#NonDic If someone's preferences always aligning with society's preferences results in them being a "dictator", so what?
The US Presidential Election Campaign Fund provides monies for parties that reach 5% of the vote. How will votes in Maine be handled going forward? Does it mean that candidates who are eliminated in the first pass of counting officially receive zero votes? Seems like it should be something like that.

The way I see it, the whole point of communication is that people use a medium (like speech or writing) to get each other on the same wavelength. If in my head I'm thinking "I fucked up this function. I probably need to fix up my shit NOW", and the next person's reaction matches it, we are on the same wavelength. We can thus be more than the sum of our parts.

If he/she instead goes "There's a problem with the function you wrote", and in my head I need to go through the gymnastics of "I think he/she's basically saying that I fucked this function up and I need to fix my shit now", that adds a bit more effort to our communication.

Same is true in the reverse example of course.

Which is why people need to work with the right people, and there's no one-size-fits-all, especially when it comes to something as intricate as inter-person communications. Culture fit is real.

The only time technology is a core profit center is if technology is the actual business. Just because a business requires technology doesn't mean it can be turned into a profit center. Most businesses just shuffle paper but now they do it digitally. At best that's a cost saving strategy. You need something else to make it a profit center and few businesses are in a position to do so and even fewer decision makers have the willpower and foresight to make it happen at said businesses.

Isn't that just survivorship bias? Almost all startups fail.
That makes a lot of sense, but I haven't seen any hints that it's coming soon. Keep in mind, you really need an upgradable GPU for that, since these $1000 5K displays have a long life cycle.

And it would probably require rewrites of high-performance apps and games to be something closer to client/server setups to manage communication between the CPU/memory and GPU.

There is really no difference for anything but the most demanding applications though.
It's an unfair analogy to compare all of conservative values to believing the earth is flat.

Especially since the concept of this having any vaguely modern, and by modern I mean, like, High Middle Ages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth#High_and_Late_Middl...) credibility is vile 19th Century and beyond propaganda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth

And you're right about the consequences of daring to do science while conservative. It's sobering to realize the career I dedicated myself to until finances prevented me from getting a bachelor's degree would not be open to me if I were to enter college today (well, I might get away with exiling myself, but that's itself is telling).

And if reality has a liberal bias, as that word is used today in the US, it sure is funny how much of it was elucidated by devout Christians.

>Remember, though, that my opinion on economic questions is highly suspect, since I’m just an educator and scientist. I understand almost nothing about the marketplace.

Can you imagine guys like Musk, Kurzweil, Hawking, etc saying such a thing. It seems like its very in vogue to be a "man of everything" and "expert in all things" right now. Hawking writes about AI even though he's done zero AI research or any AI software engineering. Kurzweil sees himself as an expert in aging and medicine even though he holds no M.D. Musk is an endless source of 'big ideas' many of which are highly questionable and well outside of his wheelhouse of rocketry and cars.

Citizen, Seiko, Casio all seem to offer a wide range of solar powered watches now. I wonder what the ranges are for energy collected by watches for various thermal, kinetic, and solar methods?

Edit: I see now Citizen also started (1999) and stopped making thermal powered watches...

Please do not jump blindly into becoming a programmer/developer/software engineer. You should try out a few classes to see if it is something you are interested in and want to do for a long time. Don't forget that after 35 most programmers are moved to management roles since programming is a young persons game. Good luck!

My point is that I think it has a fundamental problem - if someone has a successful algo, they take it off the platform. Institutional money would be very leery (indeed, this isn't the first time this model has been tried).

So even if I'm confident in their overall model, based on, say, 5 years of track record, I'd still be concerned over algos just disappearing. Also, they've only been running their asset management business for a relatively short time via the investment capital from Cohen's fund.

Banks have legal constraints on doing that (the need to record all employee communications) which might have made life difficult in this particular case. I agree in general that the mail sysadmins ideally ought to be able to nip this kind of thing in the bud.
I have the opposite question: what did Google do in order to allow this to happen in the first place?

I thought the "news" results were supposed to be at least vaguely curated, and weren't just another way to show results from the entire web. How did 70news.wordpress.com end up in Google's list of "news" sites?
Reality is more complicated.

1. Experts are wrong.

The unanimous findings of the experts ranged from a Hillary victory to a Hillary landslide.

2. Experts disagree.

I've yet to see an economics theory that doesn't have huge disagreement. That we need money? Hm...maybe, but gold standard or fiat...

3. Many view are not factual

Science tells when a fetus' heart starts beating, and maybe even it experiences pain. But abortion involves notions like the value of life. The scientific method doesn't really work on morality.

My first thought after election day was that Brandolini's Law had been successfully weaponized, and that Firaxis should get busy adding it to the tech tree in Civ 6.

Sam Biddle wrote an article[1] in The Intercept recently where he uses a phrase that would be a great name for this new tech:"Internet-Augmented Ignorance"

The clickbait phenomenon appears to be a much bigger problem today than it did a week ago. A week ago, I thought of it as a mere annoyance. Now I fear it is an existential threat – especially in light of Zuckerberg's take:

"I think the idea that fake news on Facebook—of which it’s a very small amount of the content—influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea."

That's exactly the issue at hand.
What can Google do to prevent this from happening?

Actually very little. A strong argument can be made that market forces dictate people want their false opinions confirmed, and if you fail to provide that they will stop using your service.

It is really no different then losing trust. If you assume a service as a bias, like say promoting an agenda you disagree with. You may start using that service less and less. Google combats this with individual search preferences. So it's search results rarely leave your internet safe space.

If you promote a honesty index you lose this safe guard. Suddenly search results will challenge people's opinions, and they may stop using the service.

"Externality" is a useful concept, but its mere existence doesn't mean that capitalism has "failed". Sure there are unfair conditions for lots of people, but in general there aren't too many Holodomors or Great Leaps Forward in capitalist societies. That's worth something.

That said, I'm no capitalist. So much seems so arbitrary. Like me, most people who advocate "radical" critiques of the status quo don't do so because they seek the most extreme disaster scenarios one can imagine resulting from those critiques. Rather, they see that current society isn't perfect, and could be improved by moving away from rigorously enforced neoclassical neoliberalism.
Careful.

The implicit solution you're suggesting would curtail the First amendment. That's a bigger threat to democracy than a misinformed populace IMHO. What we really need are annotations that are community driven. A "bs meter" if you will.

Or outside the one biggest party. Jerry Brown recently vetoed an STV elections bill, calling it "too confusing for voters". Having met some actual voters, I'm growing more inclined to agree with him, but STV has worked very well in my university's elections for more than a decade.

Solus Linux Distribution Review
Thank you for your points and information.
I'm afraid you're misguided here.

Lenovo initially released a BIOS with a goto statement added to jmp out of the disk controller mode setting (which is normally present and allows the user to change back to AHCI mode). Reverse engineers on the Lenovo forums discovered this modification while studying the disassembly.

Then, one user patched the BIOS and manually reflashed it using an SPI flasher and some soldering, and Linux worked just fine by detecting the drive.

Yes, the ideal solution is that Intel gives specs to OSS devs to build a driver (or even builds on themselves), but the path of least resistance is to have Lenovo unblock that BIOS setting, which amounts to changing one line of code, or 15 minutes of one engineer's time.
I can't tell, the second boom where he holds the resistor in place was that on purpose? If so holy shit that's a dangerous way to make the point. If it was also an accident then he is lucky to be alive since he doesn't seem to know what he is doing.

I know this video is supposed to be funny, but I couldn't bring myself to laugh. Too many people die making the same mistakes.
I thought it was weird that people would create fake news, but I just realized that it's all about getting clicks/ad views.

If Facebook/Google instituted a policy of denying ad payouts to fake news (assuming that could be reliably determined) then the problem would correct itself. Of course, content creators would argue that it's "entertainment" and that "no one really believes it" but that's another issue. :)
A starker thing happened in WA already. In the primary, there were five candidates for Treasurer. Three Democrats, two Republicans. No one knew much about any of them, and the vote was roughly split between all five. So the two Republicans advanced, even though almost 60% of the votes went to Democrats. (One of the Republicans won - the Democrats were prohibited from participating as write-ins due to a "Sore Loser" rule.)

Regardless of your political leanings, this is a case where the vote was distorted, and where the winner was decided more by the voting system than the preferences of the electorate.
I am able to reproduce, both incognito and signed into chrome. I'm guessing it's not personalized because the actual search is short circuited by a specialized result view, with Google's own "2016 US election results" widget appearing above the search listing.

Kind of surprising...as I remember it back in 2013 working at a news startup, getting listed in Google News seemed like a manual, hand-curated process. Not perfect, but frictiony enough to block this kind of crap

edit: by "manual", I only know what it was like on the news outlet side. You had to fill out a form, provide a real address and phone for contact info among other bits of company info, and the wait was several days if not a week. It felt like the process one goes through when a human has to verify the info, like an iOS app.

You have to look very closely at what the definition of "flawed" is. The dictator rule in Arrow's thm is not what it is commonly portrayed to be. All it says is that there should be no voter whose preferences are the same as those produced by the choice function. That doesn't really sound all that objectionable. Often people word the dictator rule as "one person decides the outcome" but that is not what it is at all.

And like the other response said, the fact that no scheme is "perfect" doesn't mean all schemes are equally flawed.
