Wow that sounds eerily familiar. I remember I was standing up and was sort of okay, and then all of a sudden I just became completely unaware of my surroundings and had to think about where I was. After that it really started to kick in and I kept getting the feeling of waking up. I remember trying to walk around thinking that doing something would keep me "awake," but it just made all the actions almost mechanical. Like moving my legs was automatic and I didn't know why I was doing it until I "woke up" again.

Mobiles might have fast CPUs but if you're on a slow mobile connection there's plenty of ways you can write web pages that will stall for many seconds before anything gets rendered.

Especially if you're on the move, having to wait around while a page loads some information you need now is frustrating. There's lots of statistics about how users will abandon websites that don't load quick enough.

All the company needs is some pressure to shore up some long overdue culture debt. This is the fastest growing company in history after all. Not every aspect of the company was going to come out of the over perfectly baked when you grow that quickly. Uber isn't the first successful startup with this issue and it won't be the last.

Replacing the leader would be a terrible mistake. I'm not a religious person, but I do wish more people were familiar with the lesson taught in the parables of the Lost Son, Lost Sheep or Lost Coin. Redemption is always possible. Society as a whole would be much better off if we gave more people a chance to redeem themselves. Not considering people capable of redemption and considering people deserving of punishment without mercy is the reason we (the United States) have the disaster that is the largest incarcerated population in the World.

I agree with this to an extent. The more information, the better! But how that information is presented is equally as important as the information itself. I would be perfectly happy to have a list of 37 (or 100!) sizes if the list was actually that - different sizes. Instead, what is presented in this instance is more "listings" from other sellers that, in some cases, are outrageously overpriced.
I find a great diminishing of my anxiety the more I read history books and biographies of figures who were involved in the tumult of their times. It's great for contextualizing the world today and accepting its ebb and flow beyond my capacity to affect it.

The best part is when you're switching through the various sizes, styles, etc. and you find out that some of them are actually completely different products than the one you were shopping for. How did they get lumped together? No indication is provided. So you have to be very careful when ordering these types of things to avoid buying something completely other than what you actually wanted.
As with everything there are exceptions to the general rule and it appears that you are one of those exceptions.

My point was more that prescribing a strong benzo like Xanax is done too easily. There are people, like yourself, who need such medicine long term but with doctors handing them out to almost anyone who has a little bit of anxiety opens them up to abuse which then makes it harder for people like you to get medicine they really need.

Got it.

I immediately had a bunch more questions, some of which I tried to answer by playing around with the demo.

Is "this" the actual DOM element? (Yes.) Then how is "context inheritance" implemented? The section named "How Cell implements 'context inheritance' does not ever say how it's implemented ;) (Getters and setters are set up by the framework.) It feels like inheriting everything would be a little messy compared to specifying what goes in context.

Does changing something in "context" trigger updates in nested components that read that context? Apparently, no.

Does assigning to $components always give you brand-new components, or is there any sort of diff/patch as in React? Apparently, always new components and new DOM nodes, so don't recalculate your children; you should probably access them via the DOM API and call methods on them instead. So you don't get "props flowing down" as in React.

How are assignments to underscored props coalesced, e.g. using what notion of equality? What should you call props that you don't want to cause an $update?

Why is it ok to call methods on other cells from $update, causing further updates, when this is frowned on in React, partly because of timing issues? I sort of wonder if making state changes synchronous is a huge win and solves a lot of issues; a lot of people are wondering if React makes a big mistake there. At the same time, it seems like there would be situations where you update underscored properties on A and B, and A is actually an ancestor of B, so updating A would destroy B. Then you wonder if the framework is going to be smart about the update order, and smart about dealing with defunct components during the update cycle. Edit: That's not even a good example of a timing issue caused by cascading updates. Can't think of a good one off the top of my head.

Also edit: I haven't read the code, but it looks really short.
This came up via the HN story on "$80k/month App Store Scam"[0].

If the person is intelligent enough to get past the App store approval process and everything that's required to build and publish an app, it counters the slavish-copying hypothesis. Instead,

1. It acts as a sieve that filters in gullible persons. Someone like yourself wouldn't give it a second thought and move on. The $99/week subscription is only seen once the gullible person has downloaded the app and passed the gullibility-filter.

Interestingly HN's own terse commenting interface, lack of humour and strict voting policies serve to filter in only on-topic discussions and ends up setting a very different tone from say, r/programming. The sieve effect is very noticeable in the tone, the crowd and the commentary itself between the two communities.

2. Letting only gullible people in is not enough. This strategy also keeps the smart/adversarial users far at bay. If an intelligible user were to somehow get in the door, that wouldn't bode well for the $99/week subscription scam -- things would escalate. It would jeopardise the entire scam and that's just what happened with the medium.com post. The guy notices the $99/week subscription within the app requiring only a fingerprint scan to activate. His blog post will get the app shut down. It will provoke QA improvements within Apple and it will rally the community at large to highlight further problematic apps.

I am also increasingly leary of amazon.com since I simply feel they are getting too big. I don't really care for brick and mortar options that much but rather I simply don't feel there is enough competition to keep amazon on their toes and ensure that competition will get consumers a good deal going forward.

> save more, spend less, and invest in things that last and grow

That's the basic formula for retirement saving in a nutshell. I'd wager that most people grasp the logic of this formula at a basic level without a formal education in investing, or needing to pay for a financial advisor.

What people (myself included) lack is the discipline to save more + spend less, and the accounting skills + access to information required to make informed investment decisions and to create/manage balanced portfolios.

The rise of the index fund has been helpful...but investing is still an extremely opaque process at best. One of the more recent examples is the death of the intuitive link between "buy low, sell high" AKA "value investing"[1] that has a bunch of GS investors scratching their heads. If this basic economic link starts to break down...how can people with already limited financial knowledge make smart investment decisions? Or is buying the index really the way forward, until another market correction?

Are you seeing any interesting companies in the space that are working on solving these basic problems, or working in this space yourself? As a 24 year old I'd be interested to hear how the industry is evolving to accommodate younger investors that are just starting out on the retirement path.

This is frustratingly common. Worse is that it also lumps the reviews together. It's really easy to find a product you're interested in, see that the reviews are positive and then on further inspection realise that the reviews are for a completely different item, and that there's either no reviews or much less positive reviews for the specific item you're looking at.

It's called "the paradox of choice":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice

There is undoubtedly money to be made here (one way or another - see last reference): the supermarket chain ALDI has invested in a strategy where they provide limited choices of goods (e.g., spaghetti sauces, breads, etc.) thus reducing buyers' anxiety, store size and increasing profits. It seems to be working:

"Why I choose to have less choice":

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/may/18/choose...

"Why C[onvenience]-stores Should Consider the Aldi Approach":

http://www.csnews.com/product-categories/other-merchandise-s...

Finally, there's a debate as to whether the paradox of choice is real or not:

Ah yes, sorry about the confusion. I was indeed talking about lead (Pb), or rather tetramethyllead as it was added to gasoline as an anti-knocking agent last century. It's something that was suspected to be bad early on, but the scale of it wasn't realized until much later. Of course, political nonsense and corruption came into play as well.

Just like now.

By the way, I'm not trying to stop you dreaming, I'm hinting the fact that if you want to speed things along you should get involved in the embedded space.

The author is referring to genius without defining it.

You might say that being 1/1,000,000 in intelligence qualifies as a genius. However, that would still leave around 8000 people smarter in the world. This author seems to limit the word 'genius' to the people that those 8000 people look up to.

When this author talks about genius, she means a genius among geniuses. The population she's calling not-geniuses are in the top 1/10th to 1/100th of 1%.
[0] Estimate about half of the particulate emissions comes from non-combustion sources (brake wear, tire/road wear, dust re-suspension). Interestingly 16-55% of these particle emissions in city-areas comes from brake wear, which should be significantly lower for EV's since they mostly slow down by regenerating. This might offset the weight-related increase for EV's.

It is possible that she went to bar with completely different expectations - drinking beer and having fun. She probably did not expected to be pushed into passive role of "listen about cool things I have done". I don't mean to say that you have done sonething wrong, you did not. But if I can choose who I would cooperate with, I would choose someone I can have more two way conversation with. If the discussion between you and me is about your projects only, I would assume that our cooperation would be primary about your ideas and plans (since I have hard time make myself being listened to now).
I'm 55. I'm nostalgic, but also forward seeking. There were certainly things about the 70's and 90's that were better than now. Not sure I'd want to go back though. I'd rather change the future...
Honestly, I'd prefer a doctor that could look at me and say "Sorry, but you shouldn't buy any more of my time." Being able to say when you can't do any more is probably the antithesis of arrogant doctors - what you really have to watch out for is a pseudo-quack that will send you off on increasingly strong medications with zero-approaching success rates without telling you!
If you combine your story with the stories of counterfeit items sold by third parties on Amazon, you'll pretty much just never buy certain items from Amazon ever again.

Maybe the Germans should consider buying a device that cares about their privacy a little bit. Why is that Apple's problem?
It even happens in books now, and books used to be one of the few types of products where Amazon's UI was more or less bulletproof. In books that have multiple translated versions available, for instance, switching from "hardcover" to "paperback" can switch you to buying an entirely different translation. Even worse, the only indication they provide of this is that the cover art is different, which is often true for hardcover and paperback versions of the same book too. So it is very easy to buy the wrong thing.

Maybe Amazon has just given up on UI and assumes that everyone will be buying via Alexa?
Sure, if you only bought a single item once, but when you have a shopping cart full and a repeated purchases over the year, $10 here and $10 there can easily add up over the year. The article is clearly just highlighting the wider problem using a single product as an example.
Yes, the combination of "add on only", or "prime exclusive" makes shopping on Amazon a lot more stressful than it should be.

Don't just look at the big stuff. Look at the everyday environment.

I've had -- partially bad luck; partially trying to accomodate bad advice from authority figures -- a horrible time trying to achieve simply a quiet living space. And a peaceful work environment.

It's not "big, dramatic stuff", but it has dragged on me, day in, day out.

Jobs used to be more secure. Neighbors, even if they were jerks, didn't have so many instruments with which to be so loud. And neighborhoods tended to have more cohesion, including allies when you needed to deal with the jerks.

A lot of people are not being shot at. They are just being chronically, highly stressed. In everyday ways that add up.

P.S. Yes, definitely a U.S. perspective. I'd say "first world", but an increasing portion of the U.S. is actually in the process of leaving the first world, if it ever was in it.

But, there is a level of social isolation here, and a lack of a sense of allies and someone who "has your back", even if at the same time someone else is trying to "take you out".

I guess I can't really compare. I don't have the experience. But, for a lot of people in the U.S., the everyday stuff is plenty stressful. And, it never goes away.
Not to be "that guy", but I will credit strength training in helping my father make it to age 92. What we found was that it increased his balance and stability. Of course muscles use the skeleton as levers, and there's studies that show that training will slow the reduction in bone density as you age. So dad's training likely prevented his breaking bones when he did take a tumble.

This fellow is involved with training those over 50.

It seems to me like that just needlessly dilutes the seed swarm and wastes space, since pretty much any modern archive reader can unpack all the provided formats. Sure, specialized command-line utils can't, but if you're using one of those then you probably know which one to use for a given format.
Seems Amazon may be creating an opening for manufacturers to sell bulk products direct, for that subset of consumers who just want no nonsense options.

Example:

https://griffinremedy.com/product/omega-3-unscented-body-lot...
As a user I find Amazon astonishingly hostile when searching for products. Sure - the delivery, order process, support etc. is excellent, but I find it difficult to actually find products in the first place.

I appreciate they've used some kind of system to identify products and group the various options from different sellers into one listing. But I've never seen an example where this has worked well. The sizes, styles, colours and so on that are displayed are always completely mad. Like, enough to the point where I frequently abandon my attempt and just buy from somewhere with more sensible categorisation.
