> It's strange how defensive people get about eating meat

Maybe it's not about eating meat but about sanctimonious folks that feel it necessary to call those around them names and denigrate them because they do not follow the person's favorite fad. Once people learn you are not one of those, nobody has a problem with your food choices per se.

That said, I've never felt defensive around people I know that choose to eat vegetarian or vegan (yes, I enjoy meat, if you didn't guess :). But they never felt the need to somehow make a debate out of it either. If people respect each other's choices and accept them without judgmental attitude, there's no place for contention and defensiveness does not arise.

My mom had a stroke a few years back and somehow she lost the ability to turn short-term memory into long-term memory. She remembered the first part of the day very well but didn't know what was happening to her. Every time I explained, she would remember it for several minutes and then we had to start anew as if her RAM was powered off. Luckily she made a full recovery in a matter of days.
Paul Ryan did not pass a law requiring the government to offer him family leave. He set the expectations of the people who were considering electing him.

This is the same thing as telling the job interviewer that weekends are off-limits. Ryan is negotiating for himself, not using the government to enforce the policy on an employer who is otherwise unwilling. That is 100% consistent with his political position. He is not in favor of making family leave illegal, he just opposes making it mandatory.
Exactly: this is the correct way to handle the situation.
Chasing bugs is a pain in the ass, and most of them are nonsense.

Snapchat and Facebook competition is even more fun with Snapchat New World Lenses
The story of Theranos makes me think about where the "great filter" lines for startups are.

My prior company - who I was with from ~20 people to the current 300+ - has been going through some shakeups that make me wonder. This adds to my thinking.

I'd have thought that both were past those lines - hundreds of people, multiple offices? Seems like it'd be solid at that point.

The common factor is that both have yet to release their "flagship" product, although they've released products.

Then you can think about small products with small teams - Sidekiq, Cards Against Humanity - that achieve substantial success.

It seems like this is the most telling "filter" - did you release your core product?

Thoughts?
If you want to understand what that feels like, you have to smoke a strong joint. A friend almost lost his mind in panic because he worried this effect might persist.
I was hoping they were open sourcing tools to aid in building AR applications, too bad.

This is just a tool for marketers essentially. It's actually a rather smart move for Facebook in competing with Snapchat. Snapchat was building these camera effects for brands and charging a premium for it. Facebook has taken this a step further, now allowing brands to build their own effects for Facebook's platform, thereby taking a bite from one of Snapchat's business models.

For those complaining about this being a waste of effort, realize that others use these type of features in camera apps a lot, therefore there's a proven market for it. Sure, this might not advance society much perhaps, but it makes plenty of sense business-wise. Direct your anger towards those who like taking selfies with cat faces.
FS is pilot-focused. They dont simulate the exciting world of ticket counters and baggage limits. But there is probably a german sim that, from the makers of AirportSimulator (see nerdcubed's coverage of that series). German simulators are a strange market niche.

There's no value in looking through what you believe is a "current hysterical liberal lens", when it actually makes you act hysterically dramatic and reinforces your inaccurate prejudices against liberals.

cm2187: Can you provide some actual proof that liberals believe that anyone who thinks or suggests otherwise than what you're dramatically parodying should be silenced? Or are you just being as hysterical as you accuse liberals of being?
They missed the obvious: Married men are more productive because they have a woman at home doing the "women's work." This both raises their quality of life AND frees up both time and energy to put into their job instead of into self-maintenance.

I have seen this from both sides of the equation: I was a full time wife and mom for a lot of years. Then, I got divorced. I told my sons I would rather they take over the "women's work" so I could put more into my job than for them to get some kind of part time, minimum wage job.

This is basically a form of transferring her energy to him and the employer paying for getting the extra energy and mental focus he can now bring to the table. This works reasonably well (societally speaking) in a traditional society where women are primarily homemakers and moms. It works less well in a world where people are getting married later, we are actively discouraging people from having more kids because there are already more than 7 billion people on the planet, etc. We need to find another answer, one that allows for young, single people, childless couples, etc to all have full lives. Otherwise, it is just the married men who get The Good Life and everyone else is shorted.
I have a Vive and do all these things and I think its fair to say this is very much an acquired taste.

Maybe for your super techy types like us, but this isn't translating down to people who casually use fb and skype. Its clunky and confining.

Listen, I saw it and I know what he said. he said if he goes one dollar over 250k he would make less than if he had not gone over that threshold. this is complete bullshit and it was either an ignorant understanding of marginal tax rates or a deliberate way to obfuscate the issue with a national tv appearance where you can feign ignorance and most of the population doesn't understand tax rates.

He didn't say after 250k my motivation to work is gone because a smaller amount is returned to me.(iirc the tax rate wasn't that much more than it was before anyway) he said he would lose money if he went over that threshold of 250k.

> bask in that kind of wealth and fame

Is it hard to believe that some just people just want to write for a living? Striking it rich as an author is kind of an moonshot, an absurd dream.

Would you say to yourself, gee, I'd like to write, but better not because I'd hate all that comes with fame and fortune.
> From an individual homo economicus perspective, paying people who have heavy life obligations like kids less than people who can work tons of hours is rational.

Oh absolutely. That's why I'm coming at this from a purely business/economics viewpoint. It's stark, dehumanizing, and pretty damned depressing.

I'd also argue, it's very much true (as in, fact practiced regularly, not a value judgement).

> That's why government regulation is important if we want a different result.

I agree. However, the majority party in office (in the USA) now wants nothing more than to repeal any and every business law and regulation. I do not see us little people with getting these kinds of equality laws passed. If anything, I'd expect that the meager protections women have would arguably be demolished.

I was just in some FamilyMarts locations and can tell you there is no sign of a potato shortage in Tokyo.
I think this whole tax debate misses an important point. Taxes are viewed as revenue in terms of budget and there is a business tendency to make more revenue to cover expenses. If you stop seeing Tax as a major source of revenue and start having Govt invest money in different ways to make money other than just taxes, we can start actually having a real debate around what is a fair tax rate for govt to cover their expenses and figure out a way to make it progressive.
If this helps to reduce the incidence of food poisoning, I'm all for it. A friend working in my office was there last winter, and their 1,5yo son returned with a chronic clostridia infection. Multiple rounds of antibiotics were needed for him to stop losing weight, and the damage done to his microbiome will likely be permanent. His parents had the usual food poisoning symptoms and were done with it within a few days.
The part where people are treated differently based on their personal procreation/relationship choices? While not strictly classist, it's at very least discriminatory.

Some people just don't want to produce offspring or commit to a traditional marriage for a number of different reasons, some of these even include focusing on work/business. Why should these people "earn" less than people who went with the cookie cutter nuclear family approach?

In my own case, I'm working and making as much as I do because I'm married and have kids and my wife is a stay-at-home-mom. This is still a very socially acceptable arrangement.

If I weren't married with kids, I'd be a semi-retired snowboard instructor. I am not driven by my career at all. I'm good at it, and I make good money, but I wouldn't otherwise be doing it.
Occam's Razor: faulty equipment
I'd be interested to read an analysis of how this compares to the backends-for-frontends pattern.

Also, it seems like Relay Modern reintroduces API versioning, but automates it behind a compiler step. Is that a fair characterization? Does the server have to implement some kind of tracking and pruning for unused fragments, or is it expected that the fragments will accumulate at a non-threatening rate and never need pruning?

I love it when new problems can be solved in old ways. In physics we say there aren't 10,000 problems there are just 10,000 manifestations of 5. And it really seems like that's true here. Maybe we should stop laying off people for being old lol.
The technique is called photogrammetry. It takes photos from multiple angles and does image analysis to determine where solid objects and surfaces are in 3D. Then it projects that same imagery onto the generated 3D models. Google, Microsoft, and Apple all do this extremely well now, but I agree. It's absolutely amazing.

With a summary, you're trying to get a value proposition across succinctly. And I (as in this is my opinion) don't think you can do that with X for Y.

You push a button and in five minutes a Mercedes
picks you up and takes you where you want to go.

I know exactly what that means. I immediately see the value in it.

As you say but this is not a close fit and makes people think too hard. That means they can't immediately see the value in it. That means you have to keep working on it. Bailey didn't say this was gonna be easy.

BTW, the Kalanick summary personalizes brilliantly and name checking Mercedes sure doesn't hurt. The later Uber summary (“Tap a button, get a ride.”) does nothing for me. I only vaguely know what it even means because I already know it's about Uber. It could be talking about an FPS for all I know. Still, it is better than an iPhone app for taxis.

But the bar for "very good" should be quite high. That's an awesome line.
It would be interesting to see the number of working hours for married men vs unmarried men. And I guess that data should actually be relatively simple to get.

That could explain some unanswered questions in this article. I.E. If a married men is working more time than an unmarried one, that would be a good indication that a married men felt more pressured to work more after getting married and that was where this premium was mostly coming from.
More wonderful fact: Government employes 24 million people. This include state and federal and all jobs paid for by government such as teachers. So about 1 in every 6 person works for government.

Exciting to see! I've been waiting on this since we decided to use Relay for our application about 6 months ago. Relay is amazing but quite an investment (especially mutations).

I'm a bit worried, however, that Relay Modern has focused a bit too much on the internal needs of a massive application like Facebook at the expense of fleshing out some of the rough spots of working with Relay.

Simpler, more explicit mutations is a wonderful improvement, as is more granular control over the cache, but there's no mention of subscriptions or client-side state control (using Redux on top of Relay is... doable, but not as elegant as one might hope for).

That all said, this is an impressive release and congratulations to the team. We're committed to Relay and hope this release grows the community.
I'm assuming you mean angle of attack, not flight path angle. The aircraft could certainly be capable of a 60 degree climb until it slowed down enough that it couldn't maintain a low enough angle of attack. It probably could only sustain something less than a 30 degree climbing flight path angle (while empty), as that would be pushing the limit of the thrust to weight ratio. That being said cameras can be used in ways that make things look much more dramatic than they actually were.

As a side note, at 30 degrees AoA the aircraft will not be able to continue flying anyway, the wings will have stalled well before that, and the pilot would be made painfully aware of this fact through stick shakers, aural warnings, and very rough tail buffet.

I'm a flight test engineer, so this stuff is what I get to do for work! :)

Here they are together...
For the benefit of those who actually don't know, the reason this doesn't hold water is because:

A) The trust fund is in surplus from payroll (FICA) taxes.

B) The general fund is in deficit from income tax cuts.

C) Most income tax cut benefits go to richer people.

So if someone argues that trust fund doesn't exist, they are arguing that revenue from payroll taxes should finance tax cuts for those richer than them. Effectively transferring money from poor to rich.

Keep this in mind as the Social Security caterwauling starts to increase around 2019 (when SS is expected to start needing money from the trust fund). People will argue that Social Security needs to be cut because of that deficit. Most of those people know better and are being intellectually dishonest.

2034 is the actual challenge, but again, there are reasonable fixes to that - for instance, gradually raising the maximum amount of earnings covered by Social Security, or creating a new residual estate tax and dedicating it to Social Security. Democrats also like the idea of raising the upper limit, which will also work and is an easier sell but less defensible philosophically.
I admire your exceptional work cataloguing these resources. However, just one look at that giant horde of links is, to me, a perfect demonstration of why the front-end development ecosystem is way out of control.

Its amazing to me that the autoconf/automake/libtool system for making write-once-run-everywhere *nix applications is downright simple by today's standards.

Every year the hot libraries change, the build tools change, the metalanguages, the data formats, even the damn paradigms change. Each generation requires more layers trying to fix up the underlying evil that nobody who soaks themselves in the matter will admit: the browser is a bad app platform and javascript is a bad language. Both have been pressed into serving a purpose for which neither were designed.

That's assuming there's high-value women to be had. From what I hear, that's just not the case in Silicon Valley; the single-male/single-female ratio is horribly skewed. I also hear Seattle is almost as bad. Over in NYC, however, there's scads of single women who can't find a boyfriend.
I remember thinking Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes was too good to be true from the very first time I read about it, no lie. Was it really plausible that this young woman could come up with an idea that the whole medical industry had missed? I can't quite articulate why, but it just didn't seem like medicine would be ripe for disruption in the same way as other industries that we've seen turned upside down. It takes decades for advances in cancer etc. Had Theranos really managed to stumble on something the entrenched players had missed? Such a strange story, so much money apparently squandered, and yet the zombie still stumbles on. How long before it's finally put out of its misery?!
You say your reasons are more important, but your actions don't seem to back that up. If your reasons were more important you would find a new job - perhaps making less money (it is understood that you might have to work the bad hours for a couple months while looking).

Beyond that, importance is different to everyone. To the company it isn't just your reasons, it is also if they give you the better shift they look anti-family. So they are not only risking you or the other guy quitting, they are also risking dozens of other people deciding this isn't a company they want to work for.

I do write and I can't imagine not having a certain level of engagement with the community.

Also, we're not talking being on TV 24/7, but answering the occasional interview request or email. I really think there's a difference between the 'recluse artiste who can't be bothered' and the 'I don't want to be a celebrity but I'll do a phone interview once in a while.' They're not the same. No one is saying you need to be in a reality TV show if you want to write. I am saying you do need a certain level of engagement and that's a natural part of being an artist. The pretentious "genius auteur who can't stand talking to mere mortals" is some kind sociopathy or ridiculous self-entitlement that doesn't deserve to be respected.

Yes, there are certainly nuances to this, but, taking the simplified case, I think the metaphor fits.

It is regressive when compared to the idea that the value of money is roughly logarithmic as it increases.

$5000 means more to a working class person than a billionaire. If taxation should take an equal amount of value from each, then a flat percentage is comparatively regressive.

I wouldn't say so, this has none of the maintenance implications that versioning does.
React will die by the weight of the frameworks and libraries that have duplicated effort and created more confusion and divide amongst the developer community.
Facebook has said that they never remove a property from their databases which seemed nuts to me but with Relay and GraphQL it makes a lot of sense. Why have the need for versioning when the client can request whatever they need.
I would assume trivial. I'm a linux person, so I've just wrapped it in jack stuff - but this is what these plugin APIs are designed for.
