Rattling off a list of tangentially related facts doesn't make the point I made untrue. Sovereignty is relinquished with control of currency. Democratically opposed austerity can be imposed from those in charge of the currency.

Currencies are tricky, but countries will (and should) go to incredible lengths to keep them working.

Panama wouldn't exist in its current form without the influence of the United States on its history, so it's position as a vassal country with a pinned currency may be the only one it can occupy with any stability.

My point about Rainier is that you can do it with your own equipment and planning and that would require more skill and still be cheaper than paying a team to take you to the peak of Everest. People are literally learning to climb 5.6 on Everest.

Sure, you can do Everest that way too (and then it is indeed very difficult) but that's not what we're talking about.

Altitude is certainly a challenge, but acclimatization takes out a lot of the difficulty. I actually had a harder time on Cotopaxi than on Chimborazo despite the altitude difference because I had 8 days of acclimatization in between.

It's also worth noting that a lot of Everest climbers have sherpas carry oxygen tanks up for them.

In a perfect world targeted ads could respond to what you want and haven't found yourself. And it would be at the best price, performance, etc that you preferred.

Recently I was seeking a way to record surround sound in surround sound. If ads had led me to that it would have been great. Instead I spent a week seeking and experimenting until sibling upon a semi abandoned commercial solution.

In practice ads don't know my desires well enough.

According to your link, "If an asset is left to a spouse or a federally recognized charity, the tax usually does not apply. In addition, up to a certain amount varying year by year can be given by an individual, before and/or upon their death, without incurring federal gift or estate taxes:[2] $5,340,000 for estates of persons dying in 2014,[3] $5,430,000 for estates of persons dying in 2015,[4] and $5,450,000 (effectively $10.90 million per married couple) for estates of persons dying in 2016.[5] Because of these exemptions, only the largest 0.2% of estates in the US will have to pay any estate tax."

No one in my family has ever had that much. I won't, either; I'll probably die somewhat above the level of "hovel," but far below "estate." I can't find it within me to get too worked up about the Estate Tax.
> “You are thirty-five years old,” I said to myself. “More than half of your life has already been spent. Who is living your life, anyway? Is it actually yours? Or is it a kind of public storehouse of odd jobs? A pile of days and hours put on the counter of the world with a sign inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry to take one?”

This was probably the best part for me. We have longer life spans and so we trick ourselves into thinking that we have more time to waste on things we don't really want to do. We can procrastinate all we want but in the end, we still come back to this question without a single clue of how to answer it.

This is fascinating and, like you say, counter-intuitive. Can you expand on this or provide some links?
> When using immutable data structures the comparison in `shouldComponentUpdate` is very cheap. Assuming that, using pure components everywhere is very tempting for simplicity.

PureComponent always uses === on each prop value (regardless of type), so the comparison cost with PureComponent should be relatively flat regardless of whether you're using (persistent) immutable data structures. There's also a cost in looping over the prop values and indexing into the (megamorphic) hash map for each props object that is harder to quantify.

> React creates an object for every component to pass props around. Constructing that object is linear in the number of props. An additional `shouldComponentUpdate` check for each component is also linear in the number of props. So using pure components everywhere is at worst adjusting the constant.

That's true. We've just been a little wary of ending up in a "death by a thousand cuts" scenario where every single unnecessary PureComponent makes your app a little bit slower. A number of teams at Facebook have also chosen to use PureComponent for most use cases so you're not alone.

> Also, in a world where PureComponent is the default, perhaps React could monitor the "hit rate" of `shouldComponentUpdate` and decide to not call it if a component returns true too often?

That would be cool, doing a sort of "profile-guided optimization" for React trees. I don't think this would be feasible to give improvements at a per-user/per-session level but could potentially give significant wins if you had a way to collect stats across many different users.
Unsure why you're being downvoted; this is one of the best comments on the thread (and I remember this story from the last time it was posted).

You might say abuse breeds abuse in that someone who for some reason is playing doormat is emitting pheromones for people who like to trample on others.

This is absolutely true. Perhaps some readers were confused by your metaphorical use of 'pheromones' to mean signalling in general. A great example of this is griefing behavior in MMORPGs (and trolling in general, but in games it's already quantified and thus far easier to measure). Most games implement some sort of safe zone and/or NPC policing function to prevent griefers from hassling new players to the point of wrecking the game, which is the griefers' underlying and often unconscious objective (so as to 'own' the territory of the game space even if this is poisonous to the growth of the player pool).

Denied the ability to pick on newbies, griefers then usually collect in small packs and lurk around entry-exit routes to danger zones (whether from NPCs or territorial conflict) where there's a possibility to target outcoming damaged players or incoming ones pushing up against their skill envelope. Griefers like to think of themselves as apex predators, but typically lack the self-discipline and strategic vision required to organize as such, so more often than not they occupy the same environmental as scavengers such as hyenas, vultures etc.

I haven't kept up with the latest research on this, but I recall that EVE had an economist on staff several years ago and I'd imagine that the larger participants in that market are open to or already working with sociologists, game theorists, and other quantitative social scientists to better understand the dynamics of their virtual ecosystem.

For 'nice' players (in games and in life) who don't comfortably slot into large teams, the usual advice is to be more of an asshole. And while that's partly true, being an armored up lone wolf will only take you so far. Unless the system as a whole is dysfunctional, individual lone wolves are never competitive against anything bigger than a small-medium team. However, lone wolves can team up and be very effective; to do so they (obviously) have to overcome significant trust barriers, but can succeed by maintaining smallish flat structures and growing hierarchies below those.

Are you a citizen? Because if not, the answer to all of this is "whatever the hell border patrol wants". As far as I know, you absolutely could be asked for your bank account password. You wouldn't be, because any agent asking would probably be fired to avoid a media circus, but it's not actually against any rule. Border patrol discretion for non-citizens is almost absolute.

If you are a citizen, it's not clear that anything at all can be demanded, even logging into an account already on the device. It just hasn't been put to an unambiguous court challenge.

This is obviously a regional phenomena.

In the bay area, a small starter home is $2 million.

In Seattle, a small starter home in a half-decent area is $700,000

In Portland, a small starter home in a half-decent area is $500,000

The price to income ratio is way off in any half-desirable west coast city or suburb, whether you save for the downpayment or not doesn't matter if the average income won't support the payment. It's also going to take quite some time for most people to save for a down payment at those house prices, unless they get a boost from options, RSUs, maybe the Bank of Rich Mom & Dad, etc.

Meanwhile in Greenbay Wisconsin or any other midwestern city, starter homes are $120,000 or so. Go to the south, and the costs are even less.

I always thought the Java tie-in was a double-edged sword. For some potential Clojure users, in addition to learning the language they were interested in, they'd also have to half-learn a language (and its tooling) that they probably weren't interested in.

I guess in the US there is/was an assumption that everyone coming out of the computing education system is already experienced with Java.

It would be a massive loss for him. Especially with the Democrats in the middle of a war on all fronts, which is the most pressing issue of the next 2020 candidate. I doubt Zuckerberg could navigate the internal politics to find solid support. He would not make it past the primaries. He has a bigger trust perception problem than Hillary. He should wait it out a few cycles, wait for his child to get older and craft a family man image to replace his current image.
His series on Genghis Khan also describes a similar culture.
Ultimately, the value of a piece of code is decided by the functionality it offers, rather than what language it is written. Thus, project with 'I made X using Y' formula, while it might be a cool personal achievement, doesn't make it go beyond the confinement of its intrinsic functionality. A web server written in clojure, doesn't make it a space rocket, and certainly not making you a rocket scientist.

I agree with you, Common Lisp does seem better and ABCL does well with Java interop (as does Clojure).

While the community around Clojure is fantastically good, I don't like the language itself as much. Personally for my hacking pleasure, Haskell, Common Lisp, Chez Scheme (or other Schemes), and Ruby are all more fun for me to use.
You should look into Clojure Spec. It's a very nice balance of trade-offs for helping developers build correct software. While it uses a different approach than static typing, it seems a more natural fit for dynamic languages. Plus it's sort of a toolkit to be used in many different ways.

The point is that most server languages these days compile to javascript. OCaml has Bucklescript, Haskell has GHCJS, Kotlin and Rust compile to JS, etc.

Clojurescript and Scala.js are probably the most mature, but getting developers to make the switch when their server language is not Clojure or Scala is an uphill battle. Case in point: I find Bucklescript to be absolutely amazing (generated binaries on par with size of hand written JS) but Scala.js is a better fit since I've been writing Scala for 6 years.

> If you mean doing the same kind of cheating that your competitors are doing then this implies knowledge of the method

On the contrary. When I was cheating at Marco Polo, I thought I was the only one. That I wasn't as good as the other players who were playing honestly, so I cheated to make up for the deficiency.

Your point still stands, though. These aren't kids in a pool. They're engineers who should be testing the competition's product, and discovering the defeat devices.

Rails was definitely responsible for Ruby going mainstream, without it, it would slide below Python.

More than that: I think that combination of TextMate and Rails brought a huge number of web devs from Windows to MacOS as well. I remember around maybe 2005/6 people were switching from Intel based Windows to, at that time, PowerPC based Macs (transition to Intel was about to happen) just to use TextMate and Rails - image how huge change it was for developers - and they did it and liked it. Good times.
> In the bay area, a small starter home is $2 million.

wrong. I live in the BA and you can get a reasonably nice 3/2 for between 600-800. Not in SF proper, but just a bit North, still in the BA. And if you go a bit further out to Vallejo or Fairfield, you can get a house for 400-500. Totally doable.

Also, I bought my first home in 2005 way outside the BA in Tahoe because it was all I could afford, but I still ownd it and got all the tax benefits. I could also rent it out, save more money and trade up later.

You just have to work a bit smarter and harder, and stop complaining.

> Working with CFEngine's "DSL" v2 was very different from using Puppet mainly due to its limitations and lack of features. This really affects the way you structure your code.

In this case it only affected where you put which part of the code, not how
you managed your servers with the tool.

Note that the analogy with programming languages is <how you manage servers>
=~ <how you structure code>, not <how you structure code> =~ <how you
structure code>, what you're trying to put into use here. For judging the
approach, it's irrelevant whether you write a shell script or use somebody's
Ruby plugin to detect mounted filesystems or something like that. It doesn't
change fundamentally how you structure maintenance of your environment.

> There were / are many nuances in CFEngine that make it different from puppet.

Of course, starting with their languages' syntax. Though both use the same
underlying ideas, even if they call them differently, and both operate in
similar way. If you know how one works, it's a knowledge that's easy to
transfer to the other.
I feel most syntax themes are designed for syntax based languages and make the parenthesis far too dark/prominent and it's visually overwhelming.

If you dial back the color of parenthesis and brackets to a lighter grey, the experience is almost like writing python with parinfer.

No, you have no proof that everyone else is doing the same thing. Read the article: this is about diesel engines. Many automakers do not make diesel engines at all. Even if it's physically impossible for anyone to meet the diesel emissions laws without cheating, that still means many automakers don't have to cheat because they don't sell diesel-powered vehicles.
So Uber is saying, "We don't have any of the stolen documents; talk to Levandowski to get those"? And Levandowski is saying "I won't say anything about the stolen documents; Fifth Amendment"? That sounds reasonable...
