For a couple of years I had done full stack work on an e-learning application that when from Ember to Angular. For the last year and a half though I have been working specifically in backend.

Recently I started doing some light work with React and I think the biggest difference between Angular 1 (even Ember to some extent) and React that I have found is Flux (https://facebook.github.io/flux/). Technically Flux is a "pattern" but I believe it is more or less required if you plan to do a non-trivial application in React.

I won't give an opinion about it since I haven't really worked long enough with React to really do so, but I thought I would mention it for you to consider.
> you can be a developer and do stuff any random CS graduate could do, or do stuff that makes you one in a million without getting fancy titles

This seems to be the problem at the heart of a dozen disparate issues in software hiring and management. Standard HR and management systems are largely unprepared for the idea that two people with the same title (or even the same degree, from the same school, in the same year!) may have almost-unrelated skillsets. Treating two people on the same team with the same job title as completely non-interchangeable just doesn't happen.

I find that thought terrifying. I don't mind people choosing to unionize, but forcing it is another matter entirely.
i really wish people would just read some pikkety, which explains conclusions like the above.

the movement of wealth has a speed and a vector. all wealth moves along the path of least resistance, which means wherever it can move at high speed.

the more wealth at one node (an individual) is concentrated, the faster wealth moves toward that node, and thus it follows that the faster wealth moves toward one node the slower it must subsequently move in all future directions because there are substantially fewer people who have even greater wealth than the node. this means that all capital flows ultimately point to the richest of the rich, although there are a lot of other rich people who are enriched along the way.

rents are just a steady drumbeat of wealth moving from those with the least wealth of all nodes (proliterians) toward the middle or higher rung of nodes.

"unearned" is the wrong word. "structurally guaranteed" is a better term.

> Not that I necessarily blame them, all the SEO and blogspam crap made searching the web with something similar to pagerank and impossibility a long time ago. I think the eulogy was served by the "miserable failure" thing when GWB was elected (it was called a "Google bomb" in the media). That and all the low-effort wikipedia copies with their advertising made it impossible.

They use to fight the spam, though, and you could still find obscure-but-relevant sites. Not 99% of searches are, at best, a few top results from the same handful of sites that always seem to top the results, then a sea of spam. They seem to have just given up and ranked hard toward the top traffic sites and let the spam sites simply have the entire middle of the search rankings, starting around '08 or so. If you manage to search for something that's not on the couple hundred top sites, you end up with nothing but spam.
Collaborative Mind Map of Knowledge
This has been espoused a long time ago by German economist/trader Silvio Gesell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Gesell

His main work is about reducing the possibility to extract "rents" from society by closing loopholes in our current economic system:

1. Money is "better" than everything else so those holding money can extract surplus value by lending it out. This was later also found out by Keynes and others. Keynes' solution: inflation. Gesell's solution: imposing carrying costs on cash.

2. Land is required by everybody yet impossible to increase. Solution: the goverment is owner of all land yet leases it out long-term by auction. All income is distributed among all mothers, since the price of land is direct consequence of the number of children/people in a country. Now you would distribute it among all citizens and call it "basic income".

His ideas are still completely valid and deserve a wider audience.

With all the ad blocking technologies that are coming up, I wonder if Google is devising something to counteract these efforts.

For instance, since browser-based ad blockers work from what I know by blocking known domain names, couldn't Google create random subdomains and serve the code from a different subdomain every day or even every few hours, as well as change the way their JavaScript and HTML looks?

Even something very expensive to run would be justified with all the money that advertising brings in.

If Google can create software that can tell what's in a picture, or if a person in a picture is happy or not, why can't they find a way to fool ad blockers..?

As everything else on HN, this is a very American-centric perception. There are a lot of other companies that are not "big whales in the see but are crocodiles on the Yang-Tse", as Jack Ma once said.

China is the most obvious example (Alibaba, Taobao, Weibo) but there are also some European and Indian companies worth paying attention. If Asian growth takes a hold on this century and if Europe keeps getting freaked out about American espionage then this "Gang of five" will face some tough competition.

I feel like he defined the term quite a bit before he used it. It does describe very specific way of earning income.
Never? You never planned to start and finish university? You never planned to make a large purchase (like a home)? Never planned a project that was going to take longer than a few months, possible requiring years of time? Never had a long-term relationship, which often requires identifying shared or compatible life-goals to make it sustainable?

At some point, like budgeting your income, planning has the effect of reducing the rat-race feel of life. I always had enough money, but once I started budgeting it, I had an abundance of it (recognized needless spending, directed my goals more effectively). Losing weight was a long-term goal for me, I got there, and then it become a long-term goal of being truly fit, not just a healthy weight but a truly healthy body, which is a lifelong commitment.

The EU have already shown to be very amenable to an independent Scotland joining the EU in a timely manner (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamieross/eu-officials-are-discussi...). The process will be clarified however I dont think either side expect Scotland to get left in the lurch here
I think it'll take many changes along the lines of: a constitutional convention to patch holes in the bill of rights; restoring financial independence to states so they can act as a check on the power of the national government; and universal basic income to eliminate financial coercion of the electorate. But I'm not convinced that will work, or even that it's possible. There are serious practical and political barriers. I think the existence of private institutions that are "too big to fail" is a very dangerous situation to be in. On the other hand, it's not clear how it's possible to prevent our political process from being captured by special interests while also avoiding descent into tyranny of a different form.
The economics are very disputable - the UK doesn't do regional apportionment of tax collection other than (just now) income tax, so not everyone believes the GERS number of £9bn.

And now it's even more disputable with Brexit: what farm subsidies will Scotland recieve, for example? What's the future cuts scenario for the UK? What happens if the rUK starts mass deportation of EU nationals? Parts of England are a few Daily Mail stories away from burning down Polish or Pakistani corner shops.

The UK had its opportunity to choose inclusivity and openness, and instead England voted for reactionary panic. I think it's hard to underestimate how much work the SNP have done in declaring ethno-nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment unacceptable, and pushing those sentiments to the margins in Scotland despite the media.

I have no experience with the Stackpath CDN itself, but I can only guess it's exactly like MaxCDN, which are apparently the cheapest and fastest. All these CDNs are more or less the same in terms of speed and availability though. Since it's such a competitive space, I don't really mind what CDN I use, as long as it's cheap compared to others and it has a decent amount of PoPs (Point of presence) scattered around the globe.

It's important to understand that Facebook is incredibly large, and the fact that any software scaled with them to the point they are presently at, is a "on the shoulders of giants" situation that seems to actually be working well enough for them to become a billion dollar enterprise.

That said, I bill for the time it takes me to get set up to do that work, e.g., if I have to spin up a specific environment, or gather reference materials, etc. that is included in billable time, because it's time I'd normally be doing something else.

> The author here takes the average of the conversion rates from different websites. Am I wrong in saying that isn't quite right?

Yes. It gives too much weight to sites that referred a smaller number of people, and too little to sites that referred a larger number.

> Shouldn't the "average conversion rate" be just the sum total of users that go to Toggl and sign up over the total number of users that went to Toggl?

Not "users that go to Toggl", but "users that are referred to Toggl from one of those sources", on both sides of the fraction. (Possibly you knew this, but it seemed worth clarifying.)

Equivalently, a weighted average of the conversion rates, weighted by the number of referrals from each source.

> it just seems like an opportunity to inflate your conversion rate numbers.

Note that this could deflate numbers just as well as inflate them.
