I like to compare Rand's work with Marx's.

When I read the "Communist Manifesto" and - part of - "The Capital", I was impressed by Marx's critique of capitalism. Most of his hypotheses (back from the 19th century) were eventually proved true, while seeming absolutely unthinkable at the time (e.g. the issue of over-production). However, his proposed solution - Communism - seemed naive and overly-optimistic, probably due to the outcomes we already are already aware of from such social experiment today. His critique was excellent, but his proposed solution weak, and dare I say almost a fairy-tale.

When reading Rand, her solution - Objectivism - seems also impracticable and overly-optimistic. I personally believe that he who disassociates his well being from the well being of his neighbor, has little understanding of how society behaves in the long term. However, her critique of Socialist policies is spot on, and almost eerie. I live in Brazil, and there are many moments of our current political catastrophe that seem to have come out of Atlas Shrugged, and therefore I cannot through away the authors entire work because of a broken solution, which is only part of both novels. The anticipation of such self-destructing forms of government with more than half a century in advance is a merit of Rand's.

Needless to say, it is always easier to criticize then to come up with a solution. In Ayn Rand's case, her critique is pertinent and time has in fact proved it to be well founded. Just please ignore her solution.

SEO = Search Engine Optimization.

Therefore, your title reads:

Search Engine Optimization optimization : How to optimize your site for Search Engine Optimization
I got a job as a Web Developer in a corporation without even knowing HTML
Also Kayak, HipMunk, Yelp, YouTube, Netflix, AirBnB, Alibaba, etc.

It ceases to be considered "vertical search" and becomes a category in its own right if you do it well enough, even though the way you interact with many of these apps is that you type in free-form text into a search box and it performs some fuzzy matching.
Yep, and when the government doesn't properly tax those harm-to-public-good things like air pollution to balance the incentives and make it cheaper to do "the right thing" and pollute less, companies (which are made of real people and are not just unthinking machines) will do whatever they can to maximize profits. This is why it's so important to e.g. Increase the price of water to reflect the true cost in the Central Valley of CA instead of letting tons of farmers grow water-intensive crops in open-air, wasting tons of water just because it's cheap (then they complain about "is GROWING FOOD a waste of water?!?", completely un-ironically). Many businesses subsidize their operations using government funding, yet again ironically most of the rich white men running them are staunch opponents of public assistance programs despite owing most of their wealth to similar mechanisms, typically in conjunction with massive tax avoidance.
There is an incredible amount of waste involved in the "everyday things" you listed. Surely it would make a difference if that were cut down. Is it out of the question that a fairly comfortable life can be had by all without destroying the natural environment?
Yes. Just watch all the parents at the airports. I am not alone.

> At its core, capitalism is

That kind of transaction dates back to bartering, and is neither unique to capitalism nor excluded from socialism.

The way you put it also assumes that both parties are capable of negotiating the work/money trade to be advantageous to both; it seems pretty clear that Walmart and their floor workers are not in such a win-win.

> Whereas socialism is the codification of a win-lose

This is roughly equivalent to saying capitalism is the codification of exploitation, in that neither are true of their respective, functioning systems, and both are failure modes of their respective systems.

Socialism is the venture capitalism of people, at scale. Society invests in you and your situation; if you pan out, it needs a return on that investment so that it can reinvest.

Of course these are all drastic simplifications of complex systems that cannot be boiled down to soundbytes, but eh.

Self-Driving Cars Explained for Non-Engineers
There are two totally different points mixed up in that blog post.

1. Delivering your app with electron
2. Writing a web app versus writing a 'native' app

Yes, delivering an app with electron might be subpar as it brings code to your computer which it probably already has. Most Computers which are targeted by electron apps already have a browser and lots of them have up-to-date chrome or firefox browsers which offer features very similar to electron. So I don't say there is no reason why one should use electron, but I urge every developer to make their web apps accessible to browsers too and let people use their browser if they want. Even offlines usage is no problem anymore as we have serviceworkers in the majority (by market share) of browsers nowadays.

The second point, however, is very poorly laid out in the blog post. Web apps do not have a general problem with performance as suggested by the article. Maybe some are badly developed but in the end, they are all backed by the tremendous efforts that were put into browser performance in the past years. The question if web apps can deliver the required performance was answered by the 60 FPS discussion a few years ago.

At the moment, the web is the only truly OS independent platform I know of. That is a very valuable feature and one we should treat with the deserved respect. So please write quality web apps and do us all a favor, instead of just choosing one specific platform. Yes, react-native is an option too, but I think it is a bit limiting to define just one framework as the one true way.
Probably is. It's been a while since I read it.

Since they're using it for wiring harnesses, sounds like these parts are extremely numerous and can add a lot of weight if a cheaper material like aluminium was used. No doubt they have some pretty strict strength requirements, but they're not holding the plane together per-se.

A plastic part would probably work but for issues of fire safety, wear from friction, and other factors like that.
In many places the streets form a grid, it's true. You would possibly have only a dozen homes that could be connected. In other places, the streets are arranged as a tree with cul-de-sacs as the leaves. An island of acreage could emerge in such developments where you could visit dozens of homes without crossing a street.

The OP isn't actually discussing chat as an unsolved problem. OP is arguing that chat is the wrong choice of solution to the problem of open source software project communication, because it's synchronous.

Or to abuse a metaphor, OP is arguing we need to use boats instead of cars to ship heavy things overseas, not that cars are an unsolved problem.
You also can't ignore the energy cost of running the farm and transportation.

I suspect that it may actually be more efficient to skip pesticide applications and harvesters, and use domesticated insects to harvest grains and fly those food calories directly to a local processing facility.

Certain species are already natural grain harvesting machines. Certain species are already natural pest predators. Those could be exploited and bred for a purpose. Humans plant the corn. Domesticated insect-predator insects patrol the fields and protect the corn from unauthorized eating before it is ready to harvest. They return to the hive, breed for the next season, and get eaten. Domesticated harvester insects then mature, fly out to eat the corn, and then fly back to the hive, breed for the next season, and get eaten.

Whatever is not eaten directly by humans can be fed to farmed fish or poultry.
> we don't have any logging of an example that came through production.

If it's something that's never come through production, it is not already documented anywhere, and it has an occurrence rate of approximately 0.001%, is it really a feature that needs to be replicated?
But then you don't get dependency tracking, and you also have to clone the repo to install it, instead of something like "helm install github.com/foo/bar#e367f6d".
Unlike a pension, there is no enumerated entitlement of what you will receive out of SS. You didn't enter any contract when you started making payments. The government could shut it down tomorrow, and it would not be considered a default.

The fact that the payments are structured much like a pension is tangential. For example, nothing stops the feds from restructuring it into flat payments.

You are right. I checked the source code and found "Wordpress" a bunch of times but it looks like it's because "Kanban for WordPress" featured on the homepage. Regardless their design is really slick (especially the sorting and filtering on top) which definitely helps increase the site interaction and usability.
You could belittle any author as "merely" the result of their upbringing and psychology to invalidate them. That's not productive or fair.

> Does ChromeOS by default implement something like TLP?

I would assume the default system does power management quite well (at least on my device it does), so if you're running a chroot that shouldn't matter too much. If you boot your own system I'm not sure, though, I guess the best one can do is try.

If you follow the instructions to set up an Arch Linux[1] boot system for your device for example, it will most likely just copy the ChromeOS kernel over, so I would assume the support also depends on the device's system...

We know these things about Twitter relating to censorship:

They have shut down Twitter accounts for abusing the TOS, and this process is on a case-by-case basis, and can affect well-known users such as Milo Yiannopoullous and Martin Shkreli:

http://www.breitbart.com/milo/2016/07/19/breaking-milo-suspe...

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/01/08/pharma-legend-marti...

Twitter also deletes content in response to valid legal requests and copyright claims, according to their own transparency report:

https://transparency.twitter.com/en.html

We also know that Twitter has applied crowdsourcing/human editing to search query analysis:

http://blog.echen.me/2013/01/08/improving-twitter-search-wit...

I suspect that Trending Topics also has some curation, or at least a manual blacklist, but couldn't find official mention of that.

We also know that Twitter has been sensitive to the tension between being an unfiltered source of information and a platform that amplifies abuse. In January, the company admitted that it "didn't move fast enough" in dealing with abuse complaints:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/01/twitt...

In March, they announced new measures for reporting abusive tweets/accounts. Under a heading "Leveraging our technology to reduce abusive content", they describe new ways in which an abusive account can be limited, including suppressing the visibility of tweets: https://blog.twitter.com/2017/our-latest-update-on-safety

So we've seen that Twitter will shut down accounts and tweets based on an interpretation of TOS (i.e. what constitutes "abuse") in ways that not everyone agrees with. At the same time, Twitter knows that its special sauce is unfettered speech, so much so that it was slow to even act on shutting down accounts openly associated with ISIS: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/02/tw...

About "why sine waves," the mantra I learned is:

"Complex exponentials are the eigenfunctions of linear systems."

This means that, if you put a complex exponential in, you get the same complex exponential out, scaled by some constant, whose magnitude we call the "frequency response". No other functional form has this property.

They are eigenfunctions, so they are orthogonal. We can represent any function in L2 using a weighted sum of them.
If you publicly advertise your service I can probably assume your consent to speak to it. I don't have to wear a funny hat while doing so just because some hidden legalese on your website says so.

At least in Europe, news organizations pushed this kind of argument in their campaign against adblockers and failed in front of the courts. US law may differ, of course.
> We never provided it, because we have zero-internal expertise with any of the technologies involved.

Couldn't your team learn the technologies? These days there is an abundance of resources available (online tutorials, books, bootcamps, etc), especially for ecosystems as popular as the Appleverse.

I can't pretend to know your situation, but as a reference point we had an iOS project come up at work a couple years ago and I was able to pick up Objective-C and the Apple libs in a few weeks while still being productive on other projects. I followed Apple's official tutorials[0] and built some toy apps, then learned the rest as I went on the real project. This is after having never owned an iDevice and doing mostly web and devops work in scripting languages for many years prior. A few peers of various experience levels were able to ramp up in about the same amount of time, so I'm not special.

They aren't perfect. I don't really know what I was thinking with the first one, but I'll just rephrase it to remotely controllable oven.

You can read more about what Roomba can do here[1]. If it isn't for you that's fine. Not everyone needs to buy sauces all the time. Usually just a look suffices.

The problems you talk about aren't against IoT but just the use case I specify here. They're very solvable and there are many more uses than I can talk about.

I'm not a salesman for these products so I just said what came to mind.

When any new technology first comes to market and tries to blow everyone's minds away, it often fails to make the entrance it anticipates because, in your words, "they're more trouble than they're worth". But all they need is some rethinking and time.

When PDAs first came out, my dad scoffed at them and used a large notebook to write down notes. But today that's changed. I think that'll be the same with IoT. We're increasingly moving towards a more electronic home, and that's not stopping anytime soon.

It just needs some time to reach proper attention just like phones did, and we'll have standards (hopefully) which can harness the power of connected devices in your home. As the other commented to GPs reply said, a great factor is energy saving too. Intelligent devices can figure out by themselves when to turn on and off, and that can do a lot of power savings.

I don't think it's a generational thing either. I know how to use IRC and how to connect with it. The problem is the difference in the amount of energy demanded by the set-up process. Connecting to Slack is extremely simple and I don't have to fiddle with the settings in order to get a decent experience.

Compared to IRC, I have to:

- Figure out how to configure my client.
- Figure out how to interact with the user account and moderation bots on Freenode or $other_server.
- Figure out how to set up something like ZNC in order to federate the client on my phone with the client on my laptop so I don't miss messages.
- ...

It's an epic yak shave that sucks massive amounts of time and energy a from the thing I joined the community to do: improve a piece of software that isn't IRC.

It may be, but it's not wrong. I am not persuaded by such responses which fail to deal with the meat of an issue. IF you want to have a discussion about the usefulness of bankers and financiers and how the abuse they have perpetuated isn't necessarily inherent, or something like that, fine, but don't try to use apeals to emotion as if it were any sort of valid argument. My original career was in anti-terrorism, I even remember when we changed the very definition of terrorism because we didn't like the old one (because it included us), and I can tell you it is quantifiably provable the bankers and financiers are the terrorists you should fear more than the ones in a hijab.

Direct Pharmacological Selectively Kills Tumor Cells
What struck me most in Atlas Shrugged was Rand's focus on rail. By giving the Taggart family a self-built, privately-run transcontinental rail network, very little of the story mentioned roads at all (there was one road trip, as I recall). It seems quite possibly intentional, as the use of a road system implies that taxation and collective action are actually needed, undermining one of her main points.

I can't help but feel that environmental issues also put a nail in the coffin of her philosophy, but to be fair, it wasn't a big deal back in her time. Atlas Shrugged made no mention of the negative externalities of any of the businesses being run, from steel mills to mining and oil. As soon as a business's externalities impact others, moral issues are raised.
Isn't that the entire point? Or am I missing something?
It will be very hard for people to understand the downsides of a system that is 99.9% benevolent yet inaccessible to human understanding.
