Reactive Maps is a data components library, the UI components are data aware and can be composed together to create complex filter rich UIs.

While the library is geared towards building maps, the components can be used for generic (components include data aware Lists, Dropdowns, Range Sliders, Button Groups, Searchboxes, Calendars, Feeds, GeoDistance Search and sliders, Maps) UIs.

Some examples of such UIs built with the library are here - https://opensource.appbase.io/reactivemaps/#meetup.
Isn't it for most companies you buy their product because the product is good? Radical concept I know.
You're qualifying inflation with "monetary". Note that the government committee disagrees with your measure of inflation, as well. When people casually toss out "adjusted for inflation", they aren't talking about M2/M3, but committee-accepted price inflation.

But even analyzing in terms of monetary inflation, the size of the money supply used to buy houses is basically the money that can be borrowed from banks to buy houses, which roughly matches their valuation (as the house is used as collateral).

Right, but you have to copy all of what works, or you just inherit the old problems.

For example, Europe has free or ultracheap or "you get paid for it" college. Great. But what's the catch?

Extremely spartan colleges, extremely strict standards to get in and stay, much less social pressure to go college, much more viable career alternatives.

Is the US ready to import the European college model with those tradeoffs? To have "universally free" college while also abandoning the "college for everyone" part? And to also give up the athletic programs and other nice-looking fluff?
Agreed, in a true definition of a conspiracy theory only the last one meets the criteria, though I was trying to match ideas on the other side generally lumped into the conspiracy theory category such as the Podesta brothers are pedofiles (though I know this is a smaller component of a larger actual conspiracy theory).

And agree also on discussion, plenty of conspiracy theories on all sides that are actually probably worth discussing.
But the healthcare is not like this, and neither is housing: going to a better doctor is a very weak status signal, and while some people do spend a lot of money on housing to signal their status, for average person the function of their house or apartment is to provide roof over their head.
Ask HN: What do you use and pay to process payroll for a small consultancy?
Scorp or LLC, where payroll is required by the IRS.

Wells Fargo says 65/mo, but ADP is expensive too I've heard. But I worry the smaller guys might not be as reliable or go through acquisition and affect something that I don't want to deal with often.

Some time ago, I implemented a little tool for myself which backups folders incrementally on usenet (deterministic message-id creation from a secret key, append-only style with metadata, parity, encryption etc. so you only have to remember one unique key to access all of your data, even if new data is added).

It can mount the current state of the usenet backup with FUSE and it's possible to browse through the files and listen to music etc.
I understand that it might not be a good idea to store all your data only on usenet, but I thought that was an interesting concept and a fun little project to work on :)

I see it quite differently, the leader is the single biggest influencer on the performance of the group. There are many examples in sports where just changing the coach has changed the team from an underperforming team to a leading team. Similarly with companies, a leadership change has often lead to a significant change in performance.

To understand that you have to understand that pack behavior tends to mimic the leader, so if the leader does X, then their reports do X, and the people who report to the reports do X. In large organizations you may find pockets where someone in the change decided not to do X and then everyone below them is free of that expectation (for better or worse).
Their strategy is to monotize users. Now they have more users.

Perhaps the DC police are part of the pedophile ring? I haven't heard anyone disprove that yet, and it would make the conspiracy even more evil. I'm stunned that you haven't made this obvious leap of logic.

The hysteria stems from the concept that your algorithm for detecting conspiracy is to grant credence to theories in direct proportion to their nefariousness. Your hypotheses are not falsifiable.

This guarantees that you will reject reasonable and logical explanations which are discordant with the conspiracy.

Your last sentence is a perfect example of this. The most villainous explanation for what you see as hysterical adamance is that every commenter here is covering up a pedophile ring.

Joining a startup is a high risk/high reward decision, and the biggest question you should have for them is where is the money coming from, and how long does the startup have until it needs more money given the current plan.

In addition to the salary cut, what are their expectations of a first employee? Will you be the only engineer, what are their expectations for hiring more staff?

Raising money is very hard, do these founders have an amazing network that they can utilize to raise cash?
Have they successfully started companies in the past?
If you were an investor would you invest in them?

Also keep in mind that everything is negotiable. Finding first employees is very hard, and as such you have a lot of negotiating power, especially if you're already employed and aren't in a rush to move.
interface builder ( xcode ), does it well for iOS. You can preview you UI instantly for ipad / iphone in both portait and landscape.

i think the reason the equivalent doesn't exists for web is maybe due to the complexity of css / html, and the various level of browser support, which makes all of it a dark art as soon as you aim for wide device support. Whereas Apple controls everything.
I manage my procrastination by taking on more tasks than I can handle, and then letting the seemingly really important ones wait while I finish less important stuff. As an example, my apartment was never so clean as when I was working from home on a side job, because I would wake up in the morning and immediately clean it as a way of avoiding the side job.
Just as a heads-up, I believe $60 all-you-can-store Amazon Cloud Drive is currently the cheapest offering for large amounts of personal data.
This sounds like they're re-launching Steam Greenlight, but without the pretense that only quality games will get through. Hopefully the fee will be high enough to stop asset-flips and shovelware, but low enough to allow smaller indie devs in.

This is essentially how this all works. It is not exactly magic, but not easy [ether]

Nevetherless it was an interesting read.

Cloud SSH Key and sudo management
Async just means that there is a script, which, some time after the page is technically "fully loaded", starts to load some more! That's useful for updates or actions that should occur without a complete page reload (which would discard the "user state").

It doesn't necessarily mean you see an URL list. It can be implemented by storing the list in Javascript code - and you don't "see" that Javascript code.

The method you mention (mis)uses HTML Tags as datastore for the URLs list.

I give the comment you responded to that it is really, really hard to read beyond the "30 languages in 30 days" claim" because I have not ever met a developer who could learn a language in depth in a day and therefore my bs-detector triggered immediately and forced a tab-close.

But thank you for pointing out that the OP indeed did not write 30 version of "hello world" in 30 languages - though it was a bit hard to read through your condescending comment that complains about a condescending comment.
This is a bit underwhelming in my opinion. Providing a more streamlined publishing experience is great, but it's not even close to the biggest problem Steam is facing. What about the interface (which is definitely showing its age) being an unresponsive mess, or the fact that support STILL has not improved in any major way? It reminds me of iTunes a bit, especially since this update has the potential to actually make Steam Greenlight even worse.

Valve definitely does not seem to have a clear vision for the future.
I would argue that this is a "series of complex social tasks" -- Google Code-In is about having high school students get contributions to real open-source projects accepted. That means communicating over Slack/IRC/Mailing Lists, and learning each project's conventions, and so forth.

I remember taking part in this competition in high school, and I was only able to get one task done. And -- disclaimer -- I work for Google now.

By comparison, USACO or the Canadian Computing Competition is a walk in the park.
Local ad networks masquerading as news organizations. Record labels and newspapers have a lot in common; they were global logistics companies first (the core competence of Atlantic was shipping highly-processed petrochemical discs around the world) and media companies not really at all.

What newspapers had was a lock on the business now owned by Craigslist, with the transport and fulfillment network (newsagents and delivery vans!) being the key asset. Once that went away they were no longer businesses.

They didn't see it that way, but that's because their core business was so good they could afford to delude themselves - it didn't matter that they didn't know what they were really doing, the business model was that powerful. Google is remarkably similar in many ways.
Off topic but I saw one of the prizes is something called PocketCHIP. Googled what that was and actually tried it out on the product detail page (https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip). I really like this thing and had never heard of it until now. It's a very cool gadget. I just might have to get this. In addition to helping squash some bugs of course.
Show HN: New Engine – Play Chess Without Moving Pieces
Seeing some other comments, I think we're very close to a VB-like solution (maybe something with React + a GUI).
Steam has come a long way in recent years, but it would be nice if some of that fancy store logic they've written could be used on library management. I've collected over 700 steam games, and looking through them became unwieldy after I hit 150 or so.

Careful usage of categories can make up for some of it, but even that is clunky and not something I want to spend time on.

I do wish Github had a dark theme option at least. Sometimes I do a lot of reading on there at night, and all that white is too much.
Just wondering what would you do if you need to run something by a Dev at, say, 5PM. Or 7. Or 10 in the night?
Or at 2am, when Asia woke up to a big change-request/bug/whatever?

My response would be to do the same at 2.
Yes, what you are describing would be the worst of everything. You are probably right that that would be the most likely outcome given the political system. And you are right, I certainly wouldn't want that.
after answering this I also found this article in the new section of HN:
https://medium.com/excitingrole/how-to-pick-good-startups-e0...

I haven't read the article but the title makes it seem very relevant.
Well said, though one small difference is that no one will call you at 2AM to work on their car / wait on another table / etc. Dev work is potentially stressful in ways most jobs aren't, which isn't to say that it isn't also very well compensated, too. Personally I'm content to like what I do without having that rise to the level of passion - and I don't realistically expect more from my mail carrier, my mechanic, my waiter, or really even my doctor. I don't want them to hate what they do, but I don't have any illusions about them loving it so much they'd do even more of it if they only could. It's work.

> "Hello world" is useless and you're not learning anything with it

I agree "Hello world" would be useless, but note the author didn't mean it literally. Here is his github repo: https://github.com/hagata/30daysofHelloWorld
I know it's a common sentiment that "You can sue anyone for anything".

But is it a common sentiment that you can be charged with anything by a district attorney?
He actually touched on the answer of where it's all going: litigation, and the related indirect costs. (Sorry for the long quote, but can't clip much out.)

>Fifth, might the increased regulatory complexity happen not through literal regulations, but through fear of lawsuits? That is, might institutions add extra layers of administration and expense not because they’re forced to, but because they fear being sued if they don’t and then something goes wrong?

>I see this all the time in medicine. A patient goes to the hospital with a heart attack. While he’s recovering, he tells his doctor that he’s really upset about all of this. Any normal person would say “You had a heart attack, of course you’re upset, get over it.” But if his doctor says this, and then a year later he commits suicide for some unrelated reason, his family can sue the doctor for “not picking up the warning signs” and win several million dollars. So now the doctor consults a psychiatrist, who does an hour-long evaluation, charges the insurance company $500, and determines using her immense clinical expertise that the patient is upset because he just had a heart attack.

That is, a big fraction of medicine is "we have to cover this base for fear of being sued", and it's hard to look at external metrics to evaluate "this was a legit cost, vital to the patient's care" vs "this was just covering bases".

I would say that such "legal insurance" is subject to "Knightian uncertainty". It's not like "oh, 5% will get sued a year, which costs $50k each". There is wild variation in what juries award, what goes to trial etc. Needless to say, that forces the insurance/prevention cost up very high, even when it doesn't correspond to a jury verdict. Think about the cost to insure a satellite launch failure vs first contact with aliens.

Europe and Asia lack this cost because many of these incidents don't have to go to trial. "Oh, the operation botched your life? Boom, the social insurance gives you this nice predictable payout." Nothing lost in the legal black hold of jackpot justice.
Yes, and not forgetting the micro:bit too.

I'm glad it's being worked on, and I'm sure it will be better for those going through now - but if the subject of this post is in 'high school', s/he had none of that.

We had 'ICT', in which we learnt to operate Microsoft products.

I understand your argument, but even then I don't think it's quite right; there is lots of room to improve on the size of a webpage vs its rendered pixels on the screen, even with the fancy fonts and gradients and animations. I still don't believe it's really megabytes. Have you seen 4k demo contests, btw? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w_xEUoK79o
I agree with this. I made a 32x return on a front-month WAY out of the money options trade in March of 2008. I tried to pull it off again and lost all of it. Good tuition money.
No. I did too.
Not every web app is webscale. From all the evidence I saw SMC is tiny in webscale terms - 80GB of data or 600 open connections are not what NoSQL databases were meant to solve.

Using this anicdote to say that postgres can handle webscale is ludicrous.
> If I hire you via a crypto-contract but then you don't deliver the associated goods, what recourse do I have?

Isn't this sort of a "solved" question, in the sense that we know there's only so much a computer can do? The practical answers are, of course, reputation systems and incentivization systems like escrow. Both of those are areas of active research.
The distinction is actually western labor vs. other labor/machines.
Here in Europe I see Surfaces at every retail store, while Chromebooks tend to only be available online, sometimes I do spot one on the stores.

However I don't like them, personally I think they could have been a better proposal if Google had decided to leverage Dart, and offer a Smalltalk environment on them. Even if that required some kind of developer mode.

As it is, my trusty Eee PC 1215B is what I use for travelling.

Have you considered that this is a reflection of the way Donald Trump communicates? He injects his opinions on subjects he patently knows nothing about into public discourse on a regular basis, relying on startlement more than substance - like a shock jock on the radio. The social, political and governmental power he now wields is immense. I have to keep an eye on his tiny tweets of terror because random shit he posts there has the potential to directly impact my life in the short term.

This is precisely why lots of people were saying he should give up tweeting (at least on his personal account) once he took office, and rely on formal/official channels of communication for anything important. He has demonstrated a a preference for demonizing individuals and particular businesses and institutions, and where he leads, a mob of deplorables often follows.

You complain about being tired of hearing/seeing people talking about Donald Trump all the time, so presumably you feel unable to ignore it. It seems not to have occurred to you that people who dislike Trump are even more sick of hearing about and from him. Imagine being a Mexican person and hearing yourself and your family described as 'rapists, drug dealers and criminals' on an almost daily basis for the last 18 months every time you watch the news.
so if your account gets emptied by hackers, it's justified because this is just how decentralization works? Who is claiming this is "how the world works now" and who asked for a solution? It seems to me Ethereum and other products built on it solves problems imagined by the creators and balk when people poke holes at it, without responding with a modicum of rationality but a lot of self fulfilling prophecy.

Why would anyone expose themselves to more risks by using Aragon?

Why decentralize and create more problems when everybody has been using centralized systems without issues over the past few centuries?

What problem is it that you are solving with Aragon? I don't see one.

Better yet, are you running Aragon to run your company? This question has come up multiple times in the comments with no response. It's pretty telling.
One thing I missed was that the availability of packages for common things like oauth, payment gateway integration etc. In the Rails world we are spoilt for choice when it comes to gems and libraries.

But I think this will improve as the adoption of Elixir increases.

I don't have a go to frontend library. I have worked with React and Vue.J's before and if I have to choose one for another project, I'd probably go with Vue.

I am thinking of running Email This on a pay-what-you-want model, but I am not too sure about it though. First priority is to get people to use it and see if they find value in it.
I get that part. What I don't get is how you deal with the fact that you know you are just scheming yourself?
Startup depends on your goals. Tesla wants to compete with GM and Toyota. It clearly has a long way to go.

This visa was meant for corporations to be able to get the talent they're unable to find in the US.
Not for opening US workforce market for the entire world.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the US on a work visa and would be happy to have jobs market completely open for me.
People use Twitter to broadcast something without wanting to have a real discussion about the thing they just said.

There is no discussion possible on Twitter, as the "threads" quickly devolve into an unintelligible mess.

You say something to the public, then you're done. It's purely a channel for viral marketing (also called "push", that word says it all).
That is a fair point. I was comparing Tesla to the scale of companies that it wants to compete against.
This seems kinda pointless without the remainder being dark-themed as well.
