Only certain classes of app's are allowed to do this. From a comment on your linked article, it seems Apple only allows you to do so for physical and non-digital items.
Ya, definitely agreed. Although I would add the caveat that the rapid growth in value of these coins is not necessarily that crazy. The market cap of the entire ecosystem is still less than 100 billion. Which, no question, is a lot but it's still less than 1/7th of Apple, which is only a single company. So while I agree we might be in a bubble, I don't think the current crypto valuations are at least prima facie necessarily a bubble.

Fun fact: if your app has a reasonable conversion rate, you can basically buy your spot on that list temporarily by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising.

It usually isn't sustainable, but can be helpful during launch of a new game to make sure it gets attention. I think it was easier than cracking the Top Free list, since fewer apps have IAP.

The ad team at my previous game company would do this and not tell the rest of the rank-and-file employees. We'd be psyched to see our app in the top grossing list... meanwhile the ad team would be spending more money than we were earning.

Similarly for word embeddings like word2vec, GLoVE, fasttext etc in the case of NLP.

I think this is fundamental - if you teach a human how to recognize street signs, you don't need to show them millions of examples - just one or a few of each is enough because we build on reference experiences of past objects seen through life experience to encode the new images as memories.

The Home Sec position is a revolving seat used as a political parking lot, so the only people who stayed more than a year and had time to move in any direction in this century were T.

It seems to me that the causation is the other way around - the only people really really craving that sort of position with immense secret powers but little public spotlight are those who are intrinsically authoritarian and power hungry.

Is it fair to reduce Hitler and the Nazis to just the mass genocides they perpetrated? You talk about the terms becoming meaningless, yet that was the the only thing they did.

For many years they were campaigning to make Germany great again, as other countries were taking advantage of them and some elements in their country were intentionally making bad deals. Plus obviously the people who weren't real Germans were a problem that needed to be dealt with. They wanted to build up the army and built strong links between large corporations and the government.

So maybe it's okay to call people who do things like that Nazis?

> That being said, I think visual tools can be a good fit for tasks whose output is UI. There are applications and frameworks that allow you to drag'n'drop to compose the UI, but the code is still written in a text editor. This can work reasonably well.

Even there some people claim it works better for micro scale: widgets are ok but larger scale composition (storyboards, composing dynamic views from re-usable sub-views) are better done in code.
After doing some Googling, I discovered that there was a company called Microdata Corporation: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdata_Corporation)

They apparently existed from 1969 to around late 1970ish or perhaps early 1980ish, during which time they made computers which were open to Microcode programming by the end user -- they even gave the end user a manual on how to do it:

http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/microdata/3200/761020...

This manual should be entitled "How to build a late 70's style Microcode programmable computer". It really gets into the guts.

I did some work with webMethods Flow in a previous job. I hated it. Aside from the fact that it was slow from a point-and-click point of view, the interface was generally slow, and navigation and search were generally tiresome. To my memory it was not possible to have related flows side-by-side for reference, and much of it was abstracted to a high enough level simply due to language features that it was difficult to identify patterns and idioms within a set of logic at a glance. This also meant that any opportunities for refactoring or code reuse were few not only because it was difficult to do, but also because they were difficult to see.

Much of this can probably be improved in the IDE, and it is possible that there were issues simply because we may have been abusing it (there other platforms/languages that were being used beyond their original design).

What little I've seen of LabVIEW at my current job suggests that it has a more usable interface, however having written DLLs to be used by LabVIEW, it still appears to be quite restrictive at a language design level which I expect would still limit its usefulness (I hear regular talk of the use of singletons, users appear to be required to translate a C API to LabVIEW manually, useful C language features like structs and function pointers don't appear to have any support, the ability to maintain a reference to a context pointer gives rise to groaning developers).

Presumably he has to make some plans and if he does that with someone else then they are both guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime. If the police had the resources to follow this up (physical boots on pavement type resources that is) and the courts had the time they could follow this up and have a chance of preventing the planned crime by using the laws we already have.

And perhaps your £200 idea could even work. Not everyone who gets frustrated, angry, and violent is a committed radical. The problem is that we all want this problem to be fixed without it costing us any money, time, or effort.

People were saying that 10 years ago, they were saying it 20 years ago, the general attitude was even the inspiration for COBOL (that business people could write their own apps). Every single time it ends up being a disaster when it comes to slightly non-trivial use cases.

It's been tried and failed by companies large and small for decades. So what do you know or do differently that they didn't?

Do you have actual scientific and researched proof for that or you just pulled it from air? The bitcoin money processor (bitpay) said that every spike in price results in a spike of sales; that goes against what you are saying. If the price of a currency increases significantly, the purchasing power of the holder of that currency increases too. Which means he can spend more.

But I don't have any data to back my claim either, and bitpay doesn't release their volume numbers.

> One manifestation of this has been grade inflation

Pet peeve: there is no such thing as grade inflation because there is no grade after (or before) A.

What we're witnessing is much worse, it's grade compression where all grades move up with a hard limit.

Inflation wouldn't matter a lot, it would simply make comparisons between periods of time more difficult (we would need to "adjust for inflation").

Compression is much worse because it destroys information, namely, the difference between good and bad works in the same class.

If we had "price compression" in real life, society wouldn't be able to function (everything would cost the same).

I agree on this point, the best solution is probably a visual editor that convert code to graphs an visa versa (while really working in code internally).
Then users can switch when needed.

Also it will help explore/understand what is required to write and effective base/methods/approaches for visual programming.
A kid that believes that he is inherently naughty wont even try nor has reason to try to behave itself. It is not even actionable command. Especially when it comes to little ones, telling them what they should do and then insisting on it work waaay better then any amount of hurting them (whether physically or when you try to make them feel bad).

The fact is, the spoiled generation has really lower criminality rates, violence rates, takes less drugs then supposedly better behaved predecessors. People love to compare worst students now with best students of their generation or with their idealized idea of how great they themselves were - ignoring huge amount of people who dropped out of the school knowing pretty much nothing and that was it. Meanwhile, current best students are actually pretty good.

It is not all down to parenting changes only, but given better objective results the nostalgia for good old times is not really fact based.

As a भारतीय I'm amused by the whole Trump thing- it looks to me that anything Trump touches, media immediately takes the opposite side. Amused because we were rules by a political dynasty for 50 years and when pro-development govt. took over, they faced similar resistance. So much so that when the govt wants to abolish Triple talaq, the media is pro-triple-talaq. For those who don't know what it is- it's a practise where a muslim man only has to say talaq thrice to irrevokably divorce his wife.

I don't know Trump much but the parallels are amazing. I know our media is bought and paid for by vested interests but such a thing in the US would be unimaginable for me. And then again, your media all saw proofs of WMD in Iraq.
That's... kind of my point so I'm not sure what narrow distinction you think I have in mind.
