I don't know how you American call that, but I'd consider that as war equipment.

The rest of your comment is informative and adds to the discussion. Your parent is making a similar point, which you expand on. This last statement you add is can be read as inflammatory. Gun discussions are contentious enough as it is, particularly on the internet, and they all to often derail into all manner of increasingly flamewar topics which are tangential to the story. Can you clarify why you added this?
Mathematics also uses tensor to refer to elements of a tensor product of two vector spaces. A tensor product of an n dimensional and an m dimensional space gives an n x m dimensional space. So to the extent that an array is a vector, a higher dimensional array is in a tensor product of vector spaces, and so we call it a tensor. Or, there's a correspondence between k-dimensional arrays an a tensor product of k vector spaces determined by a choice of bases of the vector spaces. And we're quite comfortable picking a "standard" basis for R^k, so we conflate the two ideas.

Now the part that always bugged me was that, at least in C++, a vector is an array that can change length, which is a very non-vectorial thing to do.
I think it's an extremely good idea. Work generally requires people to suppress most of their personality, often tot he point of treating people as completely interchangeable labor units, which is dehumanising. Acknowledging that there are different kinds of people with different personal drives is an excellent approach. Also, most people who grew up in the UK are familiar with the Mr Men & Little Miss books, most of which treat of the titular character encountering some problem in which their regular personality puts them at a disadvantage.

Frankly I'd rather deal with someone who displays extensive familiarity with the Mr Men than some buzzword-regurgitating follower of the latest management guru or MBA fad who has mistaken novelty for innovation.
I helped file taxes during the tax season here in the US, for the past four months. It was specifically targeted towards low income families.
I was definitely able to learn some of the economic effects of the current healthcare system, especially from the penalties.
It was definitely out of my bubble, and wouldn't have known a lot about how many ways the low income families are trying to earn to make ends meet, even at a very old age.

He could have written it poorly, though. That abstract is excellently-written. It's better-written than the hoax I put into HN terms with my paragraph above -- my paragraph (by contrast) is not that well-written: its sentences are long and it goes on a few asides. His abstract is a model of clear writing and deserves to be published without question. Such a submission is going too far.

$127,000 individual income is 93% percentile. I don't think "plenty of middle and upper middle class families" is a good description of the top 7% of US earners.

Social security is taxed on individual income, so you shouldn't look at this like a household income figure.

Interesting. What kind of volunteering did you do (homeshelters, recovery...)?

My experience has been that you can only help people that really want it, (but don't know yet how to achieve what they want, but at least know that they need change).

As the old saying: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink", you can't help somebody that really doesn't want to change themselves.
I remember way back in highschool there was a kid like this. We had a river that was just utterly disgusting, and there was a group at our school trying to do bake sales and shit to raise money to get it cleaned up, or they once went to city hall to petition the mayor, etc. He joined up and that weekend just... went to the river and started picking up trash. Alone. The next weekend the whole student org came, the weekend after that the local channel 9 showed up, and so on. Within the month the mayor was announcing plans for bringing in a dredger or something, I don't remember all the details, just the lesson I learned - if nobody else is doing it, just fucking do it, others will follow.
> and another example of the extreme weirdness of Chinese: why does a single character mean three colors when you have 9353 characters available?

That's not an example of extreme weirdness; not only do different languages countries have different colors (international traffic conventions require that navigation signs be a pure green -- and define two, one use AFAIK only in Japan), those colors change over time. Remember the "wine dark sea?" British Prime Minister Gladstone, of all people, analyzed (before going into politics) why this was not metaphorical but actually how color was perceived (best reference I can find at this moment: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/what-is-blue-and-how-do-w...)

Politics plays a role in color selection: we have 8 colors in the English rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) because Newton insisted there must be eight for mystical reasons, who really uses indigo? Really most English speakers see six, the primaries taught in school.

And lets not get into the politics of language itself.

(My grandfather was named Gladstone, surely after the PM. He was born in the bush in South Australia so I'm pretty certain that the PM's early work on Greek had no influence on the choice)
If we're speaking of disappointments, Wasteland 2 was a huge one as well.

The combat system is one of the worst things I've seen in games in a while, with a nonsensical "try to hold your hand" progression that makes little sense.

That is an amazing personal experience. I had similar when younger on Christian-organized "Medial Missions". Reflecting on these trips now however, I must say I am ashamed to have participated in the spreading of...to put it the most bluntly...superstitious nonsense. It's becoming even more evident to me recently how non-harmless the mystical beliefs I was condoning are and the role large role they play in the social climate and political outcomes in both our and other countries (for example: Trump and the first FARC peace initiative failing in Colombia). It was hard to reconcile the life-changing nature of those trips for me with what I now see as their counterproductive aims.
>Well the question you fail to ask is, are the conditions the same at inception to today?

Except for the fact that at inception nobody had spent their entire life paying into the system: yes. The demographic lifespan differentials are similar.

>Why is every imbalance a racial issue?

This is a system that, on average, redistributes money from poor black people to wealthy white/Asian people. Simple as that. The article already covers the wealth issue, but even correcting for wealth blacks/hispanics have lower lifespans than whites/Asians.

>All that really matters is that people who get to the appropriate age are paid similar benefits.

That's the WHOLE point of my argument, is what the "appropriate age" is based off of. Presumably it has something to do with ability to perform labor at various life stages.
The life expectancy differential between a white woman and a black man is over a decade. That we treat those two groups the same with regard to how we calculate their life stage is insane.
Your previous article on regex engines I think indicated that Python's is backtracking and with poor performance.
You're right - the QEWD architecture is as you describe, and not that unusual, though I'm not aware of anyone else having implemented such a design with Node.js. I'm not sure there was a good reason for Node's not using something similar, but then again, I'm not really proposing that Node.js should be like QEWD. The fact is I've been able to implement QEWD's architecture using standard Node.js capabilities. So it provides a way of working around the deficiencies of Node that are a direct result of its intentional architecture, if that's what you want to be able to do - best of both worlds.

I've been deeply involved in this for 17 years so my thoughts - H1Bs have to go thru some agony for 5 years or till they get Green Cards. But all of my friends who landed on H1B in Year 2000 are doing great in 10-15 years now owning multiple homes and many running own businesses. You should also take into account that H1Bs do not carry heavy Student debt like American students do. They get inexpensive education abroad and start working the day they land in USA. They also share accommodation and save money in case they have to go back to home country. I've also worked for a decade with Indian outsourcing companies and understand their business model. As businesses responsible for creating shareholder wealth, they run for profits under existing legal framework and even IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, Cap Gemini and other large Multinational consulting firms employ hundreds of thousands of employees in India and bring them to USA on H1B visas in similar business models. H1B reform is important but even more important is to train US students in new technologies. I'm a naturalized US citizen living in San Jose for 17 years. My son is in high school in San Jose and by the time he is ready for college, the 4 year college cost will be $200K. I think that needs to be addressed along with H1B reform. We need to lower entry barrier for US students to get into Science and technology by making college more affordable. Additionally, the H1B is not the only competition for US tech jobs. Tech workers around the world working at $15 to $25 per hour are a bigger competition. But I feel training US workers in tech and reducing college costs should be a priority of current administration.

Granted, Apple should probably expose an API for identifying unique hardware to avoid fraud. Perhaps a hardware secret hashed with the App name encrypted with the App provisioner's public key, such that the ID is only identifiable/useful to a specific App developer.

There doesn't seem to be an easy workaround for jailbroken apps, though, unless you were doing the fingerprinting secretly, like Uber did.

The plethora of $20 off promo codes certainly amplifies this problem, though. Lyft did it better by only allowing $5 off per ride, but with more rides.
yes, that is correct. we actually started without keeping refresh tokens and only using access tokens – but they expire really fast and google api randomly stops accepting them so we had to start keeping refresh tokens as well.

they are encrypted and can only be decrypted by "scan" and "action" (delete, trash, etc) jobs, job servers are not exposed to the outside and can only be accessed via the private network via ssh using access keys and only from a specific node which has those keys. keys are password protected. access to that specific node is restricted to a set of known public ip addresses. database and job servers are different servers of course. database servers are also only accessible within the private network.

the only thing that's publicly exposed is a load balancer.
to access anything else we log in to the "gateway" instance which we access by ip only and it does not have any domain name associated with it.

with all that – I am very open to ideas about protecting that further.

You mean besides:

"I started my app with React 15.5.0 knowing that my code is deprecate before even starting" (addressed by dan)

"in mobx you can prefix your store actions but “it’s just for the glam” because it won’t preserve overriding any observable property of your store as it was a normal object store.message = ‘hello’ from any component of your application!?!" (strict mode, right there on the page he even links to)

"React-router is not officially maintained by facebook and the maintainers had the great idea of bumping 3 major versions in 5 months completely not backward compatible to each other" (in the link he provides, you can see version 4 was released 03.2017, version 3 was released 10.2016, version 2 was released 02.2016. Even a charitable reading of "bumping 3 major versions" doesn't get you to 5 months)

I could only find one more assertion of fact, rather than opinion, which happens to be right:

"Once I understood what was the issue I was dragged into the rabbit hole being forced to add empty divs all over the place to let my app work properly"

However, it's also fixed in the next release.

> $127,000 individual income is 93% percentile. I don't think "plenty of middle and upper middle class families" is a good description of the top 7% of US earners.

If you use the traditional capitalist-economy "middle class" (the petit bourgeoisie who live primarily by applying their own labor to their own capital, rather than doing wage-labor for a capitalist or being a capitalist that rents labor rather than supplying it), I actually don't think that's unreasonable.

If you use "middle class" to mean the middle income segment of the working class, then, sure, it seems weird.
It's unfashionable to recognize it publicly, but there really are minor physiological differences between different races. Race is a dumb word, but people with DNA from different regions will be susceptible to different types of problems. And doctors who aren't racist at all will provide different medical care based on these things because of what tends to work best for different groups. Hell, we even know red heads need more anesthesia, and that's just a hair color, not even a race. Even correcting for income, education, and all that blacks and hispanics have a lower lifespan than whites and Asians. Additionally, women live longer than men.

It is a model, so obviously wrong, but it can still be useful. It's presented in an entertaining manner (at least to some of us).

The whole "Gervais Principle" thing is a model, but this part in particular highlights the curse of development, which is a very specific and useful model.

It essentially says that in an argument, you have to be much more knowledgeable/experienced than your interlocutor, in order to be able to confidently put down the wrong arguments he makes confidently.

Why do you want to switch to "NoSQL"? For many applications the lack of transactions will eventually cause significant problems.
The magic methods in Python are used to support common, built-in functionality. E.g., `__init__` is the constructor (you rarely need `__new__`), `__len__` supports the standard `len()` function, `__str__` is equivalent to JavaScript's `.toString()`, etc.

Signification white-space should actually help students when programming because it forces code to be properly indented instead of having an indentation disaster or misplaced braces.

One-line lambdas and decorator functions are no worse than JavaScript's.

The tuple syntax is clunky, but there is an important distinction between it and lists: mutability of the list itself.

Frankly no one should be using `global` without a very good reason.

The split between 2 and 3 is hardly worth mentioning. 2 is the legacy version. 3 is actively maintained and most major libraries have supported 3 for a while. Very little changed syntax wise between them. The split was necessary because of a fundamental improvement and disambiguation between textual and binary strings.

"Assault Rifle" is a defined term as well which is basically the same as "machine gun". Both require the weapon to be "select fire" which means it can be set to fire more than one round per trigger pull.

An AR-15 is neither an Assault Rifle nor a Machine Gun.

In actuality, an AR-15 is the same as any other semi-automatic rifle in function. It just looks scarier so it's treated different than others. For example, many states list the AR-15 as an "assault weapon" (made up term with no concrete definition) but don't list the Mini-14. They both fire the same round, accept the same magazines, and have the same rate of fire but the Mini-14 typically has a wooden stock which makes it "less scary" to people.

I hate that I have to be a stickler for defined terms, but on the topic of guns there is so much misinformation out there that us gun people try to correct it whenever we can.
> It is 100% on the user to determine whether an article applies, or it's plain wrong.

It is. But nobody has the time or patience to determine that for every article, so if the React team wants people to use React, then it's in their interest to insure good articles about React are easier to find than bad articles about React.

> Do what exactly? Start sending take-down notices for poorly written articles?

Write good articles & tutorials, as well as share & popularize the good articles that are out there. Ask the companies that use React talk about React and how it solves their problems. If developers like starter kits & scaffolded projects, then write some good ones and toss them up on Github. Make sure the message that they want to get out doesn't get buried under all of the poorly written cruft out there.

They're under no obligation to do any of this, but nor are most developers under any obligation to use React. If they want people to use React, and the message that React is a good, easy framework to use is getting lost, then... well, how do you think that's going to end up?

Or to put it another way: there are a lot of JS frameworks out there. React needs developers to use it, more than those developers need to use React specifically. So they should be willing to do some of the heavy lifting needed to attract people; moreso if there's a negative message already out there.
