They don't own the assets hey manage, so they can't overvalue and go pop like Enron did.

Ways to pop Vanguard:

- Pop the stock market

- Game their indexes

- Insider trading

You notice how a lot of people are already trying to do all three so it's not easy to pop Vanguard.

Tainter -- "The Collapse of Complex Societies"

Diamond -- "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed"

Meadows et al -- "Limits to Growth"

edit: after listening to the podcast there is much in common with Tainter's general argument. I'll paraphrase poorly: as civilisations become more complex and interconnected, this makes them more efficient (e.g. economic specialisation and trade). But the increased complexity also increases the fragility of the system, and also adds ongoing maintenance costs. At some point there is no marginal return for adding complexity, or the return on maintaining the complexity becomes negative, so the complexity is no longer worth maintaining. Collapse.

I did like the observation/claim that as civilisations encounter trouble, and things start to go badly, they respond by continuing to do whatever they are familiar with doing, but with increasing intensity.

I did not understand a word you said, the western nations shoved down globalization by force or threats during the start of 2000 and the very same nations are now "banning visas", I guess now they know how it feels. Divine retribution, the circle would be complete if Scotland would breakway from UK.
> The idea that all of sudden there is going to be a rush to push compiled/closed sites after so many very successful years of using free-and-open stacks seems rather non-logical to me.

Well, then we have minified JS that isn't exactly readable. Similarly with multiple-compiled JSX-to-ES6-to-ES5/JS code.

Also, there's a number of JS obfuscators, whose main purpose is to smuggle a piece of closed code into those theoretically “free-and-open” stacks.

Thus, I think, after wasm becomes generally supported, there will be more incentive to write code in your language of choice and compile it to a common platform, than to write code in JS or one of its derivatives and minify/compile it anyway.
There are a dozen examples of similar incidents in this thread alone.

The style I like to use is the css/scss webpack loader.
Basically, you import a .scss file into your .jsx.
The scss is compiled and at the same time imported into .jsx as a hashmap where the key is your scss class-name & the value is the compiled class-name. I think this sounds like what you're looking for since it keeps jsx & css in their respective files but still being coupled into their own component which is easier to reason about.

Is there a service that can aggregate email from many accounts?
Hi, I need some advice or ideas

I have a lot of email accounts, with different domains and level of activity. Employers, clubs, side projects and so on. And I want to maintain a single "universal inbox" accessible from anywhere to handle them all.

Right now I am using GSuite for it, But it only allows me to add 5 extra accounts to be POP polled for emails. I have way more than 5.

Someone suggested I set up new Gmail accounts, and add 5 accounts to each of them, and daisy chain them until I have enough, I dont like this idea. Its messy.

I found Fastmail, and they allow me to add an unlimited (I am sure there is a limit but I wont reach it) number of accounts I can setup to be pulled into my Fastmail account.

Then I configured my main GMail to pull my Fastmail account and that works more or less, but Fastmail only polls email once an hour (per docs, in practice I have seen much longer delays). This is a huge problem, esp. if you are having an email exchange going on in close to real time. So that solution will not work either.

Then I decided to try good old fetchmail, I had used it before a long time ago to deliver email to my local Linux server. Then I can run it in cron every 5 minutes or so. Good idea.

I have setup fetchmail to pull my mail accounts, and that works find, but I am having real trouble being able to relay all the mail to my GSuite account.
Do I need to setup a local SMTP server just to relay the messages to Google? I would rather not do that since that is a lot of potential maintenance and security to keep up with.

Fetchmail appears per its documentation to be able to deliver to an external SMTP (using smtphost and smptname) but its not going well. It can deliver to my the unix box its running on without a problem.

Now I am not married to the fetchmail idea, I am open to any solution that gets me my emails faster than once an hour, and doesnt involve setting up a fat client on my desktop.
Ideas, and solutions welcome.
>Why on earth should we bother to entertain clearly bad ideas?

The problem is not entertaining the bad ideas, but failing to continue to defend the good ones, once the bad ideas have been forced out of the realm of public debate. You entertain bad ideas for the same reason the body entertains disease and inoculation - to build up and maintain immunity.

>If you're espousing white nationalism or transphobia or something, I don't want you speaking anywhere near anyone you might convince. End of story.

And guess what? While you feel safe and secure that white nationalists and transphobes can't speak openly, they'll not only continue to speak covertly, and continue to convince people of their beliefs, but will do so where you cannot see them and despite your refusal to publicly rebuke them. And the fact that the "system" denies them the freedom to express their beliefs only convinces them that those beliefs are true, and gives them a common bond and identity, and turns them into a culture.

We fought an entire war against Nazis and white supremacists - literally threw millions of bullets at them and burned their cities to the ground. It stopped the Nazi armies and the Nazi state, but the Nazi ideas came back after a few generations, if one can even say they ever left.

Society can't assume that subsequent generations will hold the axioms of the past to be true - they must be reproved, over and over.

There's no need to actually use all these complex tools if you don't want to. We wrote a pretty large (>20kloc) React application with a simple require.js based build flow using a Makefile that invokes a couple of tools for bundling the JS and generating assets like CSS. We used our own resource loader framework based on jquery (Redux didn't exist at the time) and a simple routing library (director.js). Still works like a charm!

In my opinion, the important thing in frontend development is to know which tools and libraries to adopt and which ones to ignore.

As a platform, I find JS+HTML5 really appealing and I'm happy that there are many ways to use and creatively remix these technologies, so I don't see the large churn in the ecosystem as a disadvantage but rather as proof that browser-based JS works very well as a platform to develop applications on.
If we're Turing Complete doesn't that mean there is nothing supposable that we are not capable of supposing?

Well, that gets philosophical in regard to what is a CRPG versus an adventure game. I personally would consider Stuart Smith's games like Ali Baba, Return of Heracles etc. to be adventure games, not CRPGs. And Stuart seemed to agree given that he called his construction kit the "Adventure Game Construction Kit" after all.
Not really. There can be whistleblower protections that supercede other laws and contracts. There can be illegal contracts, which are not valid regardless of whether you sign them. Do you believe every issue is governed by a single law that is set in stone for eternity?
I do not consider potential property damage to be a form of terrorism (or otherwise a danger to the public). Potential property damage is not something that I consider a reason for surveillance. We can wait till the damage happens and the go look for the perpetrators.

There's real "people harming" evil all over our societies. Evil towards rather innocent people that destroys lives and kills, often benefiting the perpetrators (financially, or by pushing their agenda). These, to me, are the only crimes that need tough surveillance.

Intel also produces x86 cores that use very low power (e.g. Intel Quark). It probably would be much easier (and much more in line with Intel's corporate objectives) to add such a low-power x86 core than an ARM core if there is such a desire.

So I stand by my point:

> What advantage does using an ARM core for this have over simply using an x86 core?
>We're pretty social with other humans.

I don't think that's an opinion that would survive reading the history section in a Library for very long.

I disagree. Using "Mercedes" instead of "taxi" changes the framing (using "taxi" would have evoked "oh, it's a taxi app; thse already exist"); describing something as "Uber for X" does not change the framing (aside from the known fact that it has become a tiring cliche).

I really wonder why Facebooks own react-native-animated, which also works for regular React isn't more popular. It's easily the most simple, efficient and powerful.

It has support for friction springs, time-based easings, interpolations, gestures and so on.

Anyway, my point was that protectionism and free trade have been fighting a war for centuries. It is not true that this won't be studied. It will and has been. Because it's nothing special and new. This is garden variety protectionism.

Why shouldn't having a vagina imply the burden of having to use it? Please stop talking about 'female autonomy', it's a BS framing of the issue.
GEORGE SOROS: 'I AM a GOD, I CREATED EVERYTHING, I CONTROL AMERICA'
Beats the heck out of me - you make a good point. Windows Systems are certainly more popular targets for Malware than ArchLinux/OpenBSD. I absolutely agree with you that if just want to not deal with that (and still actually use the Internet) - getting off the major platforms is a pretty straightforward play.

But - if you want to use all the Tier 1 Commercial software (or, in the cases of things like garageband, free software ) - kind of hard not to have a Windows or Mac.

ETFs can be arbitraged much more efficiently due to creation/redemption features. There are market markers like Jane Street who do a ton of this.

The more risky effect is that all stocks in an index become more correlated with it over time, leading to larger jumps in single names around earnings seasons when real information is released to the public.

I likewise think that the folks trying to get people to stop writing python2 should pick a release of python3 to become an LTS release in the same way that in 2014 python2.7 was effectively declared an LTS release with support until 2020.

This is an experience everybody has at some point. The reason is not that the world changed, but that you changed. Having more experience about life means being less excited.

I'm not really trying to persuade anyone; not anymore. I understand the incentives that push people toward wasteful solutions. This won't stop until we hit a resource limit. All I'm saying is that there's a lot more we can do with current hardware once Moore's law is definitely dead. The mostly untapped potential is conditioned on people not doing extremely wasteful things just to shave off a little development time.

That is the whole point of immutable state, and it is very effective because parent props are also notified through shallow checks, while observables have to bubble up and keep track of their relations.

Despicable Me Minion Rush Cheat Hacker
Javascript has had a Boolean type at least since ES5; I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to convey there. The lack of a Number type is pretty frustrating for many types of computation, but at least some of them are covered by typed arrays.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no decent debugger" either, there's debug tools in every browser plus quite a few for node.

"Accessing" a non-existent variable has been a ReferenceError since ES5(http://es5.github.io/#x8.7.1). Assigning to a non-existent variable has been a ReferenceError since ES5 as well, in strict mode.

What makes you dislike JavaScript so much you'd go on such a rant about it?
