Lots of work that could be automated still isn't. Furthermore, there are many jobs that are not technically factory work, but are essentially the same: dehumanizing, boring, conveyor-belt style work where you're treated like a robot.

I did tons of those types of jobs growing up, my little sister does so currently, and I've met quite a few highly educated adults who are miserable being stuck in this kind of job.

One good example would be the Amazon fulfillment center work, of which there are many articles online that paint a picture that I find horrifying.

Another example that might not come to mind right away when you think 'factory work' is call centers.

A friend of mine has a law degree but because she couldn't find work she ended up at a call center. While the work is less physically taxing, it's in some ways worse than a lot of factory work. She can't go on auto-pilot because she's talking to people, but at the same time she's forced to approach it as dumb factory work. Just complicated enough that you can't tune out, but boring enough that it gives no satisfaction.

Aside from high quotas, they track bathroom breaks and if she crosses some (equally unreasonable) threshold a manager will have a 'friendly chat' about it.

Aside from the fact that I've never met anyone who makes 'good money' doing this type of work, I personally don't blame anyone who does this long enough to eventually fake a disability or something. In fact, I'll happily keep paying high taxes if it supports that kind of 'disability'. No human should be forced to do that kind of stuff in this day and age, least of all in a developed nation.

That said, I think the 'faking disability to avoid factory work' type of person is mostly conjured up in support of particular political views. I'm just saying I'd not even be mad if it were the case.

While I agree with you, I also agree with Dilbert(http://blog.dilbert.com/post/158159613566/how-to-convince-sk...). He points out how much of a persuasion fail climate change has been. Perhaps by the nature of science, climate change, and the flaws in human reasoning(even if they're scientists) it is impossible to put a "good persuasive" front, but it should be attempted.

>Right now very few people have the ability to save or destroy us. One day every human might be able to, unless we hand the keys to the robots and we aren't certain how that'll play out.

Ironically one of the more likely ways an individual could end humanity (in the future) is via the haphazard or malicious creation of said robots.

If all it takes is someone to execute a bootstrapping process on a large amount of computers, we're in trouble. There's no 100% reliable way to prevent that short of what you said: handing over the keys. It would require the creation of an entity so omnipotent and powerful that it may as well be considered a god.

Another way to look at it is the creation of an operating system kernel for humanity itself, with each individual human being akin to a user-land process.
Because you can't just ask the OS to "please paint text caret here thankyou", and browsers do not expose a powerful enough native text editing control. So you end up reimplementing one in JS/HTML/CSS, including the caret.
Personally I find the norm here of people constantly spouting off about "rules and norms" to be even more annoying.

This community has active moderators, moderation is their job, not yours. If you don't like a story or a post, flag it so the moderators can do their jobs and move on.

I would rather have a moderator look at a flagged post, determine it's inside/outside rules, and flag/unflag it, than have to read a dozen posts from the peanut gallery with snide rules lectures or debates on whether it's in the rules or not.

I also like that all you need is a simple editor and a browser or NodeJS or both. I think the problem is going from writing static or server rendered HTML into making a web/js app, you try to reuse the design patterns from server HTML rendering, witch is like using the wrong side of a hammer. If you write a web/JS-rendered app all the HTML you need is <script src="main.js"></script>
There is the popular argument that it takes many more glasses to wash the glass than it contains, but the people quoting this statistic never talk about bread plates or all the cloth on the table.

These aren't impossible things to study, to determine the impact and optimize customs more appropriately, even though it seems likely that a minuscule capital outlay in the California water system would take care of drinking water and restaurant laundry and dish washing indefinitely.

The same goes for the psychological impact of the regulation. In popular treatments, any social science related statement is valid simply by being said. "Maybe" forgoing water at the table makes people feel that they've "done their part" and they are then more likely to do no more, and "maybe" they use up all of the energy they have to devote toward water issues. Given that dysphagia is notoriously unexpected, "maybe" the health impact of no water at the table far outweighs the zero-effect it has on water consumption.

All of these maybes are terrible ways to determine public policy. Instead, take a look at the relevant literature, and do some valid experiments.

I think these bad things get entrenched because people likely to get passionate about the issue aren't likely to explore the math, and people who have an intuitive sense of the numbers, don't want to sound crazy by getting worked up enough about the issues to balance out the people who have good intentions. Sure, it doesn't hurt that much to fine restaurants or make people ask for water, but if doesn't do anything productive then the net effect is still negative.

Fully agree. I am looking now for more than ten years for an alternative to ThinkPads because of the Trackpoint. Tried many many options, always send them back (including the TinkPad x40 series, which removed the physical trackpoint buttons) - but so far I did not find and forced to pay premium money to ThinkPad.

Have the T450s now for 1.5 years. Very very happy with. But if there would be something Linux friendly I with a perfect Trackpoint and keyboard and the "pro" options, I would give them my money. Imitating Apple will never attract me.
> The talk is very often the distillation of the ideas

This seemed a major omission of the OP.

The distillation quality hierarchy goes something like 'conversation among best-in-field researchers', 'conversation with principals' and 'research talk by principals, plus subsequent questions/conversations', 'review paper', 'journal commentary' and 'papers' but... in many fields, papers really need some of the above to provide critical context.

So a distillation system exists - it's just very very narrowly scoped. It's sad to see graduate students and young faculty who haven't "plugged-in", and so are not spending their time well.

And it's depressing to see a 'conversation among best-in-field researchers' excoriating a perspective on a topic, knowing that broken perspective is how the topic is pervasively taught, graduate down to high-school, and it's not going to change any year soon. There being few incentives or mechanism to pipeline such insight into educational content.

So yes, starting to build an expectation that talks become available as video, and are easily found, could be a non-trial step forward.
Almonds are an efficient use of water compared to cattle, and you would save California water by switching to almond milk from cow milk. California almonds use only 10% of California's water (not "the majority of water consumption") and supply the vast majority of the world's almonds. Alfalfa for cattle uses 50% more Californian water than that and ultimately produces a relatively (to almonds) miniscule amount of calories for human consumption.

I agree with this, few months ago I was trying to learn AJAX, I tried Angular (because it is backed by Google), few weeks into reading more about it, I was still reading the docs.

Then, I read that VueJS was a somewhat better and lean version of React, so I skipped React and started with Vue, I was surprised that I wrote the complete app within a week of starting to learn Vue (https://github.com/thewhitetulip/Tasks-vue) , of course, there were issues I faced, but they were solved quickly thanks to the amazing vue community.

I saw that many many people who are trying Vue are facing the same problems as I was, thus, I started writing this guide (https://github.com/thewhitetulip/intro-to-vuejs/).

Vue is amazing.

It is not really nitpicking when most Electron apps use tens to hundreds of megabytes of memory. If all the utility apps that I use regularly switched to electron, I would need an order of magnitude more RAM.

Moreover, these applications are then completely 'unnative' in the sense that the widgets do not look native on my OS, the widget behaviour is not native to my OS, the usual keyboard shortcuts are broken, etc.

Electron apps are the Java Swing applications of this decennium.
I have to agree with your general point.

However, to me it's not really that Angular is bad in itself, it's more that the alternatives (React/Inferno/Preact combined with redux or MobX) are just superior in so many ways, and by a huge margin.

Once you've done React with TS/TSX, with type checked components all the way, great code completion, incredible performance...it's hard to go back.

Angular's components would be ok if React didn't allow you to declare functional components in just a few lines of code, create HOC to decorate exiting components, etc. Angular's components are certainly better than Angular 1's but when you compare it with what you can do with React it just can't compete.

Honestly, from my experience, there is not a single thing that Angular does better than React and friends. Not a single one. It does things better than Angular 1/Ember/Backbone but that's it.

I think this is a bit like the solar/renewables revolution that is happening in energy. There are more efficient combustion engines, filters and whatnot, but when you compare them with the other paradigm, it falls short.

While "async" programming is very hard to learn, it comes naturally in JavaScript. For example button.onclick = buttonClickedFunction
And learning "async" programming is a well worth investment. I've spent 10 years as a coach/trainer and one strategy I used was to start with the hard stuff, if they master for example the "snatch" (olympic lifting) all other gym exercises will be easy. And it's the same thing with JavaScript. If you master "async"/events then everything else will be easy.
The only one whose syntax doesn't make my eyes bleed.

To me that sounds like choosing a tool based on the experience it gives the developer rather than the experience it gives the user. That's entirely the wrong way to pick what to build an app with. User experience is far more important.

(That's not a comment about Angular or Vue. They're both great, and you should use whichever is best for the web app you're writing.)
What a horrible thing to say.

There was no appeal for sympathy, nor any disrespect for any other groups or individuals, and the question is the very embodiment of an acknowledgement by that person that it is time they made the effort to adopt the more normal sleep routine that you so aggressively insisted they should.

I think a lot of that is due to a determined astro-turfing effort and I'd say this down voted commenter is a part of that. For genuine questions I think answering people is good, but paid astro-turfers always post genuine sounding questions.

It's a newly created account that followers a standard denier strategy and labels scientists deceptive, the poster then implies there is a conspiracy. This has all the fingerprints of a paid astro-turfer.
Oil Shell: Measuring Progress with Tests
It says at the bottom it's powered by YouTube
A few years ago I moved to a different city and through circumstances made a lot of friends who are just-post-college, usually in their mid-twenties. At first I was quite excited that so many of them wanted to be freelancers and entrepreneurs, because in my post-college days I often felt like the odd one out, choosing freelancing and (minor) entrepreneurship.

My views changed as I got to know them better. Most of them didn't really choose entrepreneurship or freelancing, but saw it as the only way out of the low-wage, unschooled college side-jobs that they were still doing. Most of them would've probably benefitted from a few years of work experience in an existing organization, and most of them, when asked, would take such a job over freelancing or their 'startup'.

What I find most disturbing is the rather popular narrative (around here) of how self-employment and entrepreneurship are things to aspire to and preferable over employment. A lot of these friends buy or bought into this narrative without any idea of what a 'real job' is actually like. Quite a few of them are doing this whole bootstrapping thing by choice, or claim they do, but I can't help but wonder how much 'choice' this really is when they're actively pushed in this direction and where there are really no good alternatives.

I get the same vibes from this situation that I get from the perennially single people I know who claim it's by choice; they prefer being alone. It might be true, but it feels like a lie (or at least a way to feel a bit better about things).

The thing is: this is all wonderful for me, in theory. I have a huge supply of very smart, motivated people who are willing to work for a pittance or even just 'intern' for me, all just for the promise that my shitty startup-idea will take off. I don't take advantage of this, but it's tempting and I'm sure many others do.
