Some people seems to be really buying the shit united was selling with CNN. Using a contract seems to be the silver bullet to get the company of everything.

That's just pathetic, as a consumer, if you buy a ticket from United. The thing is between you and the United, no matter how United manage their business, it's completely irrelevant for the consumer.

If we buy a poisoned food, I have no interest in finding who's responsibility it is, I go directly to the person who sells it. It's falls on the United to file lawsuit etc to determine their messy relationships and responsibilities.

Consumers don't need to know that, the case for contract. Period

Ask HN: Are there any basic material breakthroughs that impacts construction?
I have searched for this topic a lot but never been able to find concrete evidence. Has there been fundamental breakthroughs in material science coupled with the ability to scale the applications in production that will see the day of light in the next decade or 2.

Examples:

1. Strong materials that can improve strength or reduce weight 10x or more and can help us build new cities from ground up.
2. Materials that can literally be synthesized from other relatively cheap and abundant raw materials and lower in cost than compared super materials.

There was so much promise around Carbon nanotubes/ graphene etc. more than a decade back but to my layman's eyes it does not look there has been much impact in areas mentioned here.

Having said that do the laws of physics limit us from making such materials. Will we ever see tall buildings with connected bridges and expressways floating in air before 2050 ?
I just bought an Ableton Push. I plan on cracking open a beer and learning to use it after work. I figure if I'm going to entertain myself I might as well be learning too. I find making music to be both engaging and relaxing.
I've spent a bunch of years teaching college students and suspect that part of the problem is simple: 95% of people are fine, but that last 5% can occupy a lot of time and mental energy. So there's a temptation to become somewhat armored against that last 5%, which impacts one's interactions with the vast majority of people, who are normal and reasonable.

A lot of public-facing professions seem to have this problem, including emergency medicine doctors, cops, retail workers, and public school teachers. Because that bottom 5% is so noisy and time-consuming, a kind of misanthropy can set in, as one begins to think the bottom represents the whole, even if intellectually one knows it does not.

Imagine an intellectually curious but poor high schooler: They can't afford to buy journal articles and books; they have almost no option to access serious, quality information. How much potential is lost to this travesty?

We've fallen far, far short of the potential and dream of the Internet and the democratization of knowledge, and the state of things has become a norm; few even notice it or realize what they are missing.

The truly valuable knowledge, to a great extent, still is inaccessible to the vast majority of the world. It is in books and academic journals. As a simple example beyond Google Books, I was thinking the other day that Safari Books by itself contains much more valuable knowledge (and far less misinformation) on many technical issues than the rest of the Internet; I learn more about some topics in a few hours on Safari Books than in a year on the Internet.

Technically, books and journals easily could be made universally accessible, creating an explosion of knowledge and all the things knowledge enables and motivates - the Enlightenment, science, technology, democracy, liberty, prosperity, most of modern civilization, etc. Instead of being well-informed, most of humanity is left with the dregs, and instead of the Internet providing an explosion of knowledge it has created a plague of misinformation and propaganda. IMHO the lack of high quality knowledge also robs the public of the ability to discriminate between good and bad information: Most lack a model of what quality knowledge is, of even the questions to ask (something encountered frequently in serious scholarship). Few even realize the vast gulf between the quality of generally available information and what is in the books and journals. (I'll add that the demise of bookstores means few even see or are aware that the books exist.) And even if they know, it's inaccessible.

Instead of embracing a technological revolution in the distribution of information - a turning point in the history of humanity - we have brought forward the model used for the old technology, with distribution as controlled and limited as the old medium of paper. For the most part, it seems like the same few people have the quality information, the professional scholars. Let's not forget and give up; it's too important.
The patent system has evolved in a way that has practically inverted its original intents. You're exactly right, practitioners in a given field (ex: engineers in the tech industry) often avoid looking at patents, because no good can come of it. Most are too vague to be useful for licensing, but it opens one up to willful infringement claims later on.

It's interesting to see this sort of perspective. I would like to see more of it.

I'm not 52, but I'm in my late 30s and as an engineer who works at startups, I find myself unable/uninterested in doing the things I did in the past. For example, I find myself having to work smarter rather than just putting in more hours than everyone else (which is what I did in my 20s).

And, as usual, a central aspect is absent. The social/historical environment. Any individual's performance, in whatever aspect of human activity being considered, is closely dependent on, some would even say produced by, its context. Closed contexts foster waste, open contexts foster creativity. Essentializing intelligence, or problem-solving, is way of perpetuating closed contexts.

I have a similar experience with customers in various businesses that I have run. I have arbitrarily put the number at 10% but thinking about it a bit it may actually be at roughly half that (which is your number).

An odd corollary (to my point) is that I have noticed that a customer that gives you 10 orders of $1000 seems like a better customer than one that gives you a $10,000 order, all else equal. The increased amount of interactions creates a closer bond at least with people that you deal with personally.

im going to just say whats on my chest.

it makes me wonder if react devs who thinks react is the greatest thing since sliced bread are somewhat new to web development (less than 2-3 years or so). because im sure those who inherently know, would find that vuejs is just a superior framework (sans native). there will always be new frameworks that comes out and some will be better than the last. and vue to me is leading the forefront and does things that makes sense for web development. once vue releases native, i think there arent many reasons to use react if vue is available.

when ppl say react is the best or that its for complex apps makes me shake my head, as those who believe that may be just naive or dont have much experience to make up their mind.

experience over time, leads you to strive for patterns and elegance, and unfortunately react doesnt have that which makes it feel there is a bit of immaturity in the framework. this is why i wouldnt be surprised if many if the react fans are the way they are in their stance.

its just my two cents from an old js dev who have seen through over 15 years, so your views maybe different from me, but should be similar to those who knows what im talking about.
I've had really bad experiences trying to get going with React but I just found this article ranty. I was also expecting something more interesting. No feeling of depth to the analysis, just "I did not like this and now I will complain about it".

I'm guessing english is not the authors first language so I won't dwell on it but I found it somewhat hard to follow.
It seems amazing to me that EMACS is just now getting ready to implement multi-threading.

I've struggled with helping people out of this rut.

On the tech side, people come to me with solutions they want to see live, and spend 10x the time there than describing the root problem.

Equally important is asking "why not" to alternative scenarios, as it fleshed out the scope of the root problem, often vetting the initial solution or finding a better one.

And I was reading that most "capped" underwater oil wells are actually leaking oil - and there are many thousands. So oil is silently killing incredible amounts of sea life. So, while I regret the loss of animal life to wind turbines it is much better than the loss of life to oil.

I'm happy that this project is coming along. I never had any contact with the physical/chip team but I did attempt to contribute something to the theory group in a 20% project. It was absolutely the best and most challenging work I had during my stint at Google, and I can definitely say the quantum theory group were the brightest minds I met there.

I think they could be on to something with their approaches, both physical and theoretical. I could definitely see a QPU in a few years serving a role in Google Cloud for specific computations. But I don't think that the groups are currently getting the headcount and engineering power that they need, I think the worst bottleneck I saw on the theoretical side was a lack of fulltime engineers to test and implement the researcher's awesome ideas. I'm hoping that gets more attention and resources, because I think Google might actually be sitting on another goldmine here.

First, spend some time getting home. Sweet spot is 30 mins. Preferably biking through nature (looking) areas. Unfortunately for me it's an hour of driving but still, nothing else to do than listen some music and think. Usually first 15 minutes I think about what I ended my Workday with but after it goes into more relaxed thoughts. By the time I reach home work is out, home is in. If you live within biking range of your work I would advice grabbing your bike instead of your car for once (maybe much easier depending on country you live in).

Next, eat. No TV, no devices, just family. Try to get my kid to eat her plate. After that go up and play around with her and put her to bed after reading her a book or two.

Finally, drop on the couch (if no sports) and watch some netflix or read a book. Have to say lately the first wins more often but for now I don't have real problems with that. I do notice that reading a book gives me a much better start the next day though. Probably because I can stay up later when watching TV. Books your eyes just fall shut at some point..

I try to keep working at home to a minimal (it happens, sometimes). I also try not to open a laptop for personal projects when my wife is next to me. Mainly because she likes to talk when I'm home :).
Why You Can't Always Trust Google's Top Featured Answers
You are comparing apple to oranges. Why use react or angular or vue with fun hobbyist projects meant for a team of one developer that is going to throw that code out and move on to another hobby.

In the real world you're going to have to come up with a homegrown vanilla approach for all the things that a good framework does for you: escaping user input, provide setup and cleanup hooks for your DOM manipulations, maintain state and I'm not even touching routing because you seem to be focused on server-rendered apps although the community does prefer hybrid apps that start out server-rendered and load more data while the user is browsing.

I've worked in companies that started out homegrown and it's a bitch to maintain, evolve and for that matter teach to new hires.
