For certain kinds of applications, I agree. If you're building a business application which requires forms, validation, searching, and some reports; server rendered apps enhanced by sprinkles of jquery is probably a better solution than js-heavy single page apps.

If you're building a more interactive app, for example, let's say Trello; Server rendered views enhanced by jquery is never going to work.
I feel this is additional evidence for my theory that Uber is in big trouble and is trying to spin a bunch of pixie dust into some kind of dumb money exit for its increasingly angry investors.
iPad and Mac–the early years
When does Uber run out of money? I think the timeline on their R&D projects is longer than their runway, and I'm not sure how many more people would be willing to write Uber a 10 digit check.

My spouse and I frequently refer to one child or the other as "that's your kid", usually when exhibiting a trait characteristic of one parent in particular.

John Adams may have been referring to a theoretical class of sons that may have included unborn future sons, which may or may not have been born to Abigail. He might have said to her that he wants his sons to share his values, just as he might suggest that her sons should share hers, and it would be coincidence that those two classes happen to be identical.

Or he might have believed that all sons were intrinsically their father's children, not their mother's.

It's a lot of implied meaning to derive from a possessive pronoun. I wouldn't make too much of it.

Pai is a very strange character.

He was general counsel for Verizon, which is typical for regulatory capture stooges as far as career choices go, but worked for Jenner & Block, who's primary public record is heavily left-leaning. He's an Obama appointee, but on the recommendation of McConnell.

My guess is that Jenner & Block probably fronts a lot of left-leaning legal cases outside of their bread & butter, which is telco, giving them a good face across the board with Congress. Meanwhile, his prior appointment to the FCC was almost certainly a horse trade between McConnell and Obama.

Pai has been more or less a telco puppet for the last 15 years in one role or another.

The interesting thing about this is that regulatory capture is generally in support of further regulation rather than against. This implies that net neutrality is actually either a grass-roots regulation (highly unlikely), or there is an inversion of concern over the general case. My guess is that the monopoly positions that telcos hold has inverted the normal regulatory capture process at the FCC, and that the primary consumers of the content (Amazon, Netflix, etc) are very shrewd operators who can see through regulatory rhetoric.
This strikes me as pretty pathetic effort by Uber to make itself appear forward looking

Flying is not a valid commute solution and never will be because of physics. All things equal, the energy requirements to change elevation will be too great to justify adoption.

The system only becomes useful/safe if you "stack" vehicles on roadways. What happens when one has a failure and crashes?

This is either market signaling or another thing Uber will bleed money onto.
Unthinkable here in the USA. When prisons start emptying, just increase sentence lengths to keep those beds full and corporate prison profits up. EDIT: Also effective: simply increase enforcement. Since so many things are illegal, police just need to fish more if they want to catch more.
Flying cars of the 2010s seem striking similar to solar cars for the 1980s. A few expensive prototypes here and there, some great pontificating from leading engineers, but no serious consumer model.
I found it interesting that part of the vulnerability is that the PRNG takes the time the machine 'spins' as a parameter, thus introducing an attack vector.

Responding to the contractor vs employee thing: I've run into people who manage to remain employees while doing the digital nomad thing, but they maintained "residency" back in their home country. It just requires that your employer be in your home country, not elsewhere.
We can discuss the economics of the H-1B visa program at such a time as we have a president who's capable of discussing the economics of the H1B visa program.

Right now, however, we have an administration that's intent on ratcheting up ethnic tensions, and there's 100% probability that they will use the H1B debate as a pretext for casting aspersions at the entire Indian nation, including Indian-descended natural born Americans.

I'd rather keep on earning my H1-B depressed wage rate for my job than risk yet another hit against my country's credibility thanks to president banana's divide and rule strategy.

Anecdotal (counter)evidence: in India, Reliance ("Jio") has been offering free (which is a first) 4G (I believe only one other carrier offers that) data for a few months now, ending March of this year.

the ARPAnet backbone is a mesh. the "last mile" ISP networks are trees. what we have now is a hybrid system. a pure mesh system in those last mile networks is not feasible at scale, unfortunately. traffic congestion, hardware interoperability, and meshnet protocol latency become overwhelming when the number of users rises.

Selling Gmail (ad's or hosted apps) isn't intra-EU trade (in so far as Google's an American company headquartered in Mountain View, though they do have many offices in the EU).

The implication of a consultancy company is that their work is done ad-hoc and in a one-off fashion, requiring lots of work from the company which stupidly only scales with the number of employees.

Software that successfully automated away the most toilsome parts of the job, allowing a handful of people to support intra-EU between any of the 28 member countries would do quite well.
McDonalds is an American company. So maybe that is not so much about countries trading, as countries under US influence.
I have a couple of minor nitpicks with iTunes (on macOS) including:

- I find it a little difficult to organize and keep track of my podcasts, new episodes, etc. I'm sure I could improve this with updating podcast-related settings but I find the settings a bit confusing in terms of subscription, retention, etc. of episodes.

- I find the navigation between the store and my library to be a bit strange sometimes, although it seems like Apple has made some recent improvements as I'm finding that I am now able to better move between my library and the store while browsing for music and referencing back to my own library.

I do not have any performance gripes with iTunes. It rarely crashes on me. The audio quality is good. AirPlay is brilliant. It's easy to organize my library and playlists. I love the fact that I can buy music in the same app that organizes and plays the music so that I'm not manually importing things. I don't know of any alternative on Mac that even comes close to doing what iTunes does for me in such a well-integrated way.

I jumped on the Spotify train at one point but basically felt like I had to abandon my curated iTunes library because there is (was?) no way for me to import anything.

Apple could certainly split iTunes into two apps for TV and Music but I'm not sure that would alleviate any of the complaints that I see about it in regard to supposed bloat.
And so does USA, EU and others. Isn't that how foreign diplomacy and trade works? Steal, murder, take what you can, behave well only when someone forces you to?

Because from current perspective I can't seem to find a reason why China would back down and let their own economy be taken over by western companies, when protectionism works well for them and their manufacturing is holding the world world by the proverbial balls. It's the tactic USA employed mercilessly (and still does) to get the best position - forcing everyone else to drop their rules to trade with them. Of course, now when China does it it's suddenly a problem, because Facebook, Google and others can't monopolize their market and transfer money to their offshore accounts? :)

Actually, all those things are things that suppress wages.

Think about it: WHY do we need programs to encourage engineering careers? Do we have programs to encourage people to go into law or medicine? Why not? Well those professions don't seem to have a shortage of people willing to work hard to get into those schools. So why does engineering have such a shortage?

These programs assume that there's something wrong with young people, or with the culture, causing them to avoid these careers.

Maybe, instead, there's something wrong with the careers themselves, and the employers, which cause people to avoid them. So why are we, as a society, subsidizing these rich companies to help them get more workers? If these companies really need these workers so badly, maybe they should foot the bill to recruit people into the profession and then train them (I mean their entire college costs here). If an employer isn't willing to pay $100k for a kid to go through college, who otherwise isn't willing to take that risk himself, then why should the rest of us try to brainwash that kid to do it, or help fund a scholarship for him?

Not just software; from the article it sounded like this was pretty old hardware, with a CPU only capable of running a basic PRNG. Doing a hardware upgrade on the zillions of old machines out there (I have no idea of the scale) must not be worth losing a couple thousand dollars here and there to sophisticated scammers.
I share your theory. I think Uber was dominant and in a great position financially until it tried to aggressively continue it's expansion into immature markets using subsidies. Their fixed costs have exploded while revenue hasn't grown as quickly.

There's no reason this technology can't/wont work from a science perspective. From an engineering, consumer, political standpoint this concept is such a non-starter. The more money Uber spends on this the quicker they'll bleed-out.

Well "correct" in the case of linear vs non-linear luminance is pretty much exactly about perception (or at the very least, working to prevent perception differences further down the pipeline), even if it is a somewhat minor effect.

"The Importance of Being Linear"[1] which just came up on HN a few days ago, discusses some issues with non-linearity, specifically in the context of 3D rendering.

I'm with you on anyone holier than thou on anything. As a parent of 3, I myself grimace when I hear some woe is me/praise me tale from another parent.

My general theory is: you made your life choices, quit bitching and just get your obligations met. I don't care if it's kids, fur babies, Tamigatchi, or music festivals. I really don't want to hear about the corporatization of Burning Man just as much as I also don't want to hear about the ridiculousness of your kid's pre-K administration not recognizing your special snowflake's brilliance.

I've always had a lot of interests and obligations outside of work, but the thing I never had until kids, was a mental/emotional productivity nuclear bomb when you're feeling like you are shorting your family for work, or work for family, etc. Nothing will screw with your mind like the biological imperitive.
I'd like to piggyback on this to also call out, for people interested in this sort of thing, that this hyper-stabilization or mastery training (which is like developing muscle memory, maybe literally in the case of musicians learning a new piece or technique), is very different from general learning.

See "Make It Stick" and the studies referenced in it regarding "desirable difficulties" that help create strong connections; coaches, teachers and learners mostly express preference for controlled, topical, less-confusing practice, but their preference is usually wrong as measured by performance (in sports and classroom contexts, anyway), whereas mixed-up practice that feels harder, and variations on that like trying to solve things before being taught the correct way, show better results.
In general, I agree with your point. However, I don't think we would be having this intense national debate over these important issues if not for Trumps answers. Like it or not, we're finally bringing these issues to the fore front.
I think there are a lot of grants start-ups could take advantage of. In particular there is one about promoting farmer's markets (note you basically have to be a non-profit entity to apply)

https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/grants/fmpp

And I noticed all of the previous winners were other farmer's markets managers expanded their current market. It would be nice to see some new way of helping the underserved community get food.

So examples I've seen are ideas are mini markets at bus stops.

I'm not a VC, but I see this huge thing: Popularizing large-scale opportunities.

I mean, there is a huge amount of investments that small and medium business all around the world do not do because they don't have enough scale to get a good ROI from them. And they most often lack that scale because there's a labor cost within that investment that doesn't vary with business size. If you reduced the non-elastic labor cost, you'd normally open up a market that grows exponentially with that cost reduction.

Now, there are all kinds of ways to go after this. In theory, that's the most obvious huge application of an AI, but there are simpler avenues for that, like standardizing things, mass-selling things that currently require personalization, creating high productivity tools, or just pushing some prices down and hoping for the best (what may be the greatest way to spend VC money).
Why is it so difficult to create randomness? Input from microphone or even variations in electricity input should be more than enough, no? Why is it such a huge struggle, I don't understand, especially in machines that depend on the randomness.

I respectfully disagree about Bangalore / Gurgaon office. The time difference between west coast and Bangalore is 13.5hrs now (or 12.5hrs for ~8 months). That makes it very hard to have even meetings, let alone meaningful collaboration. Even 7am in SF means its 8:30pm in Bangalore (or 7:30am in Bangalore means its 6pm in SF). With east coast, time difference is still 9.5hrs vs 10.5 hrs - only slightly better.

Source: first hand experience working with Indian colleagues while in SF; working with US colleagues while in India; observing hundreds of colleagues over the years, vast majority of whom arrive at work ~8:30-9:30 and leave ~5:30-6:30; frustrations of those having to attend late night / early morning meetings and how that affects personal lives.

No one's talking about robbing physical goods or food. Copyright & IP matter to wildly different beasts: ideas.

And there are way more practical better ways of dealing with those than strict locked down control over it. It's not black & white.

Now, we're drifting. My point was: it's normal, acceptable and even desirable to contest and discuss the way cough "everyone" do things, especially when two parties trade. That's how they may all progress.

Going to force, or to war, as too many here seem to suggest (and I just can't believe I read this), solves nothing: it destroys the problem with a long-lived lie (that violence can solve anything) and creates new, larger ones.
> The pill for men won't make it.

From what I understand, "they" have already developed this, and trialed it. It worked great, but for many men it had certain undesirable side-effects, and for a very few the side-effects weren't good at all. But for most, it worked well.

The interesting thing? Almost all of the side-effects that were experienced by the men in the study all sounded exactly like the side-effects women experience when they are on "the pill"!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the reason we don't have a male hormonal-based contraceptive is actually because men can't handle the changes and problems women have been dealing with for decades.

I don't see anyone proficient at Scala or clojure having troubles with the borrow checker. Even rust syntax is similar to scala, kind of. The issue is telling people that rust is a multi paradigm language when the borrow checker wants it to be functional for the most part. Java and c# are not safe from data races. I think that is an important shortfall. And learning your first functional language takes time with or without GC.

If they've established a corporation on their end of things (known as a "sole trader" in the UK), then you can just send them a 10-99 as per usual, because you're paying a corporation, not a person.

Also, I work with and have interviewed many people with physics and math degrees. Granted, there's some sampling bias going on there. But the ones I know didn't really have prospects actually using their degrees in their respective fields unless they got a phd and went into academia. So they all went into tech one way or another.

"If it compiles, it works."

You don't hear this often, but when you hear this, people a usually talking about either OCaml or Haskell. Nice to see Rust joining this club, too.

I often rephrase this as: "When switching from Python(/Ruby/PHP) to OCaml(/Haskell/Rust) you notice how many of your unit tests were really just type checks."
It seems like you're agreeing with the line you quoted? That there isn't a talent shortage?
