This is not a political issue unless you want to make it so. It is a purely economic issue brought about by commercial interest. The fact that merchants and financiers depend on politicians to pass the laws which make it criminal to reverse engineer or share/publicise knowledge derived from reverse engineering does not make it a political issue.

You only have to Google 'site:news.ycombinator.com john deere' to see that it is an economic issue. Replacing your $1000 laptop may not be much of an economic issue for you, but your replacing or paying maintenance for your $500,000 combine harvester most certainly is.

Someone should file a mass copyright infringement suit. Did they really have permission to copy those documents? Charge them on the RIAA scale of thousands of dollars per infringing copy.

There's implications for legal discovery here too. Remember the other day when one of the documents in the Uber/Otto case was found on a user's machine? What happens when people start sending in discovery fishing expeditions to get documents from Microsoft?
Again, the people that made it, made it. There are scores of untold histories of people who did not.

> pragmatism requires us to acknowledge that nuclear has too much of an image problem

That's a cop out or a serious mark against democracy. Energy is fundamental to civilization. Making the wrong move in this domain can put a society at a permanent disadvantage to others. If nuclear is indeed a better option, the pragmatic path is to pitch the evidence.

The distance between a working prototype and a shippable mass market product is huge.

Of course you can go and hack together a high-spec Hackintosh in an afternoon.

But that's the easy part. The hard part is setting up the parts sourcing at scale, organising the build channel, setting up the distribution/shipping channel, preparing the documentation and support, and designing the marketing message.

You also need to deal with consumer regulations, safety testing, and EM compatibility in every territory you sell to.

All of the above takes an impressive amount of time and money.

If you're Apple, you also need to make sure the product fits with your future plans. And - probably - has some magic secret sauce you can tout to make it stand out more.

Even a "simple" refreshed cheese grater is still a huge project. And I'm unconvinced a refreshed cheese grater would solve the real problem - which is now lack of trust in the brand, and lack of marketing momentum.

The Compliment Sandwich* is known to be a poor technique for providing criticism. It doesn't help the person you're criticising (people see straight through it) and it also negates the compliment. It also braces people for criticism next time you pay them a compliment.

Worse still, it distracts from the message you are trying to convey.

There is a way of being critical without making a person feel bad, by being factual and not making it personal, and by remembering that you are trying to help that person in some way.

*Btw, we brits call it a shit sandwich :-D

Ask HN: Is there space for a fresh Twitter-like platform?
With Twitter stocks at record lows, and a constant display of ineptitude from executives, is there space for a similar platform?

What made Twitter great in it's infancy was the developer platform support, which has all but disappeared (interestingly, Instagram seems to be going the same way with it's sandboxed mode).

As Snapchat has illustrated time and time again, there is a definite market for close-circle sharing, particularly among 18-25 year olds. Facebook is no longer cool, so what's next? Snapchat is ideal for short-term communication, but there seems to be nothing between permanent storage in Facebook's datacenters and 24h expiration on Snapchat.

If a new competitor were to launch, from my perspective it would need to focus on:

1) Strong (and on-going) developer support
2) Close-circle sharing
3) Medium-term storage

Any thoughts?

I haven't tried it, because the components don't look native. Buttons with text that have a shadow? What on earth is that? It looks less polished than Ionic and suffers the same problems of all Cordova-based hybrid apps: No native input controls. For me, this is a dealbreaker.

I have always heard an answer that I thought was widely accepted (maybe not): the combination of slavery and Christianism.

Masters would not be interested in improving efficiency because the work was done by slaves. Look for a short story by William Golding: "Envoy Extraordinary" for a literary version of that point.

Then Christianism didn't improve the situation. It got rid of slavery, but not of slaves. The mindset was not the same but no better either.
If they are actually making copies of my documents, can anyone explain how Microsoft is not in blatant violation of the copyright laws of pretty much every country? They are actually potentially making unlawful copies of my copyrighted works, no?

Not to mention that they are undoubtedly copying trade secrets, state secrets, private patient data from hospitals, and on, and on, and on...

This seems like it should be an actual big deal. How is it allowed to continue?
Great idea. And it should be generalized to all systems/software: a one-stop shop for steps to take to make your system safe to use.

The following opinion proved quite unpopular on Hacker news:

"If I was going to try machine learning I would code up from scratch rather than relying on black boxes."

Another one, a preference for Python (or Go, or Rust, or whatever it is next week) is due to its fashionability, rather than any intrinsic merit of the language.

It's hardly surprising. OKCupid's audience is nowhere remotely near representative. I'd expect the same to be true for Tinder but harder to see from a casual glance, and I'm not about to do my own test.

But comparing the OKCupid dataset to their own like this proves nothing. There's no evidence the two tests measures even remotely the same thing, given that apart from audience differences OKCupid and Tinder also works vastly differently.

Some of their analysis of the flaws in OKCupids "study" may make sense, but claiming this is a "reproduction" is laughable. It's a marketing fluff piece with some bits in that may make sense, but isn't backed up by data that can actually be compared to the original study.

The system does use regular html classes to define zones and those could potentially get blocked on a list. The system allows customers to change those classes as needed.
It's a lot better. Steps in the right direction.

About 52% test coverage, and pip is in use for some things.

However, so long as the LIB[0] folder exists, these sorts of problems will recur.

Each of those libraries is an opportunity for problems to emerge.

However, as they're manually managed, you don't get the chance to test against future versions, to check for breakage or okays.

Out of date becomes inevitable.

Honestly, your best bet is to use a mac.
I don't know if that is true. Because there are so many software developers who are unemployed that they would want to work for free just so that they can begin their career.

It is a kind of chicken and egg situation. Employers are saying we are not getting right talent. Employees are saying we are not getting right jobs.

Both have to sit and think about this.

> The beauty of React is that it forces you to think in a slightly different way. Vue seemed more accessible for a spaghetti code writer

This has been my experience too with React and Vuejs. React requires thorough planning beforehand to write good code. You need to plan the parent-children structure before you jump in. It's easy to write shitty code in react too if you jump in headfirst; resulting in the kind of "enterprise boilerplate" others are talking about in this thread. Personally, I am happy with React at the moment (and React Fiber let's you return an array of components, so no more wrapping your components around a span - yay!).

Cordova is all about plugins. You can use a native datepicker plugin for example.

If you need native functionality, use a plugin. (there's probably one already there, but maybe you need to write a tiny bit of native code).

I guess that's the whole point of hybrid that people don't understand - it's a hybrid, and you get to choose the best of both, making the trade offs you need to make for the best result.

Not ideal for every app/budget, but I think people just don't get this part - use the native plugins if you need them! :)

Ship fast, and slowly replace all the bits with native (if you need to). [fast|cheap|good] pick two! (then the third).
