OK, first of all this is awesome. Great idea and I'll definitely try it out for a prototype soon.

Second, this is a pretty normal ES5 framework though. It's just declarative, or based on convention, or whatever you want to call that style. And it's component-based. And definitely not JSON because it has functions.
People building and manteining the system are not really engaged with customers, and therefore cannot know what the system is used for? And people best qualified to understand that lives were at risk are so far away detached from the development team that their voices got drowned in a sea of pushy, entitled managers-of-very-important-things?

Haha, facebook silly 2000's design with sandbox state of mind and some people even use that platform to all business contacts.. huh brave people.
Simple and useful. What a shame there’s no easy way to integrate Cell into pre-existing code.

Well ... actually ... there IS a way, but this feature is only mentioned one-third of the way into the tutorial – a tutorial that begins with the words “you don't even need to read this tutorial”. So, to someone evaluating Cell, it might as well not exist.

That’s a hint, by the way. :-)
I think you probably mean "people like me". If you are on HN, you are likely to be employed, curious, affluent (or on your way), educated, rational.

There are lonely people who call QVC just to talk to the salesperson and end up buying whatever they are selling at that time. Those people also end up in the hospital and may realize it's cheaper if their copay is tiny or non-existent.

That said, I don't think it's limited to statistical outliers. The average, middle-class, insured family[1] is already likely to go to the emergency room even when they don't need to, causing long waits and drastically raising costs. Single-payer _may_ help with this (assuming there is much better communication about when to go, where to go, better scheduling tools, nurses available on the phone to mitigate emergency room visits, etc), but it's not a given.

I'm of mixed feelings about this.

I'm in HPC now, and the thing I'm interested in is RIKEN's post-K supercomputer (http://www.aics.riken.jp/fs2020p/en/). Fujitsu is building it, and they're going to be producing the CPUs that will be going into post-K, just as they did for K. But, where the K supercomputer used SPARC, this new one is going to use ARM (https://www.top500.org/news/fujitsu-switches-horses-for-post...). Also, Fujitsu are working with ARM to develop HPC-specific architecture extensions to the ARMv8 spec.

Plus, as Applied Micro has been acquired by MACOM, I wonder how that's going to settle out.

So, I'm waiting to see what Fujitsu comes up with. The Post-K supercomputer will be a very good proving ground.
I get the feeling Big Law firms are reaching the point where they can no longer rely on increasing hourly rates as a primary source of growth. And I think for the first time in the the history of Big Law, the incentives are such that efficiency might finally be valuable. It might be the only way these law firms can continue to grow revenue. Rates can only go so much higher and there aren't that many more hours in the day.
I am so sorry to be lame but I used to live in Chicago and shop for sweets on Devon which had a concentration of Indian shops and restaurants. I would just point to what I knew I liked. Stupid of me not to learn. I do remember loving kitul jaggery on a trip to Sri Lanka. Jaggery is a modestly refined sugar that is an ingredient in some Indian sweets as well. Best I can do....
That's an amazing bit of work you did there, more patience than I have.
> Having a leg and data from a real grocery store will help them figure out what they need to do to improve.

This. I've worked for Whole Foods and my wife currently does. They find small, local companies that make natural products. They work with them to market their products and test them in their stores. They collect a lot of data on how customers respond to the products, improve them, and then distribute them nationally.

The reason Whole Foods has been suffering is because they're not big enough. Once these companies have a valuable product, they want to sell them at Walmart, Kroger, HEB, etc.

But Amazon is big enough that they could make deals with these companies. I believe Amazon wants Whole Foods so that it can generate new, popular, high-margin food products that can only be bought in a Whole Foods store or on Amazon.
No. I'd love to see lower drug pricing in the US. One must understand, hovewer that this will cause the prices to rise everywhere else. Which is quite all right with me. About time those folks started paying their fair share. They might even get their own pharma research going if they have to pay through their nose like we do.
Hi, author here. Most of the work cell does internally is to let users interact with the dom as though they are touching them directly, but at the same time actually insulates them from doing so by using a pseudo proxy object. please feel free to take a look at the source. The "Nucleus" is the part that handles all this. Hope this answers your question!

Apple Isn’t as Late to Automated Driving as You Might Think
I lost my wallet last year and simultaneously needed to get a passport on short notice for a business trip. I borrowed $200 bucks from my dad to pay the expedited passport fee, bought an Amtrak ticket with saved CC information to get to the same-day passport office in Philadelphia, and proved my identity to the passport office with copies of government employee ID cards and my law licenses. Even then I dealt with administrators who didn't realize that the regulations permitted you to get a passport with something other than a driver's license. (I nearly had a breakdown when, after going through the whole rigmarole to get them to issue me a passport without a driver's license, I came back a couple of hours later and they wanted a driver's license to let me pick up my already-printed passport. I was like "look at the f--king passport you're holding, it's got a photo with the same shirt I'm wearing now.") But I did get it, in the end, and getting a new driver's license was easy once I had my passport.

Through the whole thing, I couldn't help but think how Kafkaesque this process is, and what happens to people who don't have responsible parents who still have their birth certificates, or who can loan them money to pay the necessary fees, or who can't afford to pay extra to cut in the line? (And, frankly, what happens to people who aren't blessed with the level of cognitive functioning most of us take for granted, and can't figure out the dense procedures for replacing their ID?) There is nobody in government who is actually out there thinking of whether there is a path through this system for the most vulnerable people; the people who have lost everything. They don't care.
Sorry about the confusion! Yes the effortless integration is actually one of the selling points of cell, I will definitely take your advice and make sure this is more visible, thank you!

Law firms are now internally tracking the number of hours spent on units of work (e.g. motion to dismiss, MSJ, etc) so that they can provide much more accurate pitches and estimates of cost.

On the latter point: https://www.judicata.com/ understands legal research and has built a legal research tool in the right way.
Think back to when you signed up. What did you need? When I signed up, I had to fill out USPS form 1583, and show two forms of government identification (I used drivers license and passport; the list of accepted ID for this form is strict and non-obvious). My girlfriend couldn't be added to my account when she started traveling with me because she didn't have the second acceptable form of ID.

Now, imagine you also had to choose between your next meal and paying your mail forwarding service bill.

I live in an RV and travel mostly full-time, and I use a mail forwarding service, myself...but, even with that, it's sometimes a pain in the ass to deal with the government. And, it's also not all that cheap. I spent about $400 last year on mail forwarding for my personal account, and about the same for the business.

Look, I don't want to diminish your experience here. You've been there, to some degree, and I'm glad you got out of homelessness. But, just because you've shared some of the experiences of being homeless, it doesn't mean everyone who deals with this can follow the path you followed successfully.
This is essentially where I was coming from. In the article, we meet her in crisis. That she maybe could have renewed a license prior to being evicted doesn't help her any.
> There are no complete scientific theories of music and there never will be, because music is a huge and semi-random collection of cultural experiments and stylistic conventions built only very loosely on perceptual psychology.

You could say much the same thing about architecture. In that domain, I find Christopher Alexander's book A Pattern Language to be a very good reference for describing many concrete reasons why certain buildings feel better than others that seem to be pretty universal. (And we could reasonably expect to be able to test that if we were in doubt.)

It's not a complete theory of architecture and can't be, but partial theories are still tremendously useful and more likely to produce good results than blindly following stylistic rules without knowing what purpose they serve.

I've been hoping for awhile that someone will write a good music theory book in the same format.

> Variable scope

This goes against the very nature of what mathematical variables are like! The whole point is that the symbols are suggestive. This kind of thing allows the reader to quickly get up to speed with what the symbols are all about. As a side-effect, an unconventional use of symbols is usually quite grating to the experienced mathematician. Usually:

- x, y, z stand for variables

- i, j, k stand for subscripts and superscripts

- m, n stand for integers

- theta, phi stand for angles

- alpha, beta stand for real numbers of some sort

- capital letters are usually sets, transformations and such

> Strict typing

Again. Mathematics is about abstraction. Here "+" means that you can add the two objects, whatever they are. That's all there is to it. Of course, they are mentally typecast to the more general type. The point of this overloading is that, again, its suggestive nature makes it easier to read and write. The abuse is so pervasive that something like 1 + A can easily mean that, yes, 1 is the identity matrix.

> Anonymous Objects

I agree. Although it's much easier to, once and for all, declare "Let f(x) = x^2" and use "f" instead of the anonymous function every time.

All that this kind of thing highlights is, IMHO, the fundamental difference between being a mathematician and being a software developer (and I've said it before if you look through my comment history):

- Mathematicians manipulate a given symbol, often in the thousands of times, in their heads or on paper
- Software developers read a given line of code, often in the thousands of times, in order to understand what the code does

These differences drive, IMHO, 99% of the difference in notation.
Yeah, sure sounds like science to me: "It is worth noting that, while moral realists are united in their cognitivism and in their rejection of error theories, they disagree among themselves not only about which moral claims are actually true but about what it is about the world that makes those claims true.

Whoa, did you document the RAM upgrade process somewhere? That sounds fascinating/terrifying.
I liked this note on Hodgson's The House on the Borderland:

The original print edition of this novel contains a pathological number of commas—so much so that a modern reader would find them distracting at best and plainly ungrammatical at worst. The editors of this Standard Ebooks edition have made an effort to remove the most egregious cases of these ungrammatical commas, so that modern readers can better enjoy this unique tale.

To piggyback on your example, I volunteered at an organization who were working with someone who had recently been released from prison but had no ID and no access to any supporting documents.

The organization spent months going back and forth with the state to get an ID issued. The state was sure he was the guy who had done the crime and should spend years locked up, but wouldn't confirm he was the same person for ID purposes. It was maddening just watching the process unfold.
There's a lot of "security is hard" comments here.

What I can't understand is:

Of the 1,000 affected workers, around 40 worked in a counter-terrorism unit based at Facebook’s European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.

If you work in a counter-terrorism unit the consequences of your identity being known by the wrong people are extreme. Extreme as possible death.

Why aren't these employees identities obfuscated by multiple layers of protection. They shouldn't be logged in to Facebook's intranet in anyway that could possible expose them. This could mean they don't have ID cards on them to access the building they work in, they use manual time cards / attendance records. Their pay handled by a separate entity. They are not allowed to have personal Facebook profiles as a condition of employment in that department.
Do you have any recommendations for books to get into deep learning? I want some theory and math, but not too much because I do not have that much mathamitical background. I have only gone through calculus 2. (I will be taking calc 3 this coming semester). I am a computer science major.

I have dabbled in writing a super simple neural network to solve the MNIST. Using an example written in python and porting it to go, so that I couldn't copy and paste. I had to see what each step did. It very rapidly went to about 30% accuracy and stuck there. So I know I did something wrong. But I abandoned it after not being able to figure out what.
Which is really nice, but not very effective and besides should not be necessary in the first place. Systemic failure and bureaucracy can't be effectively countered by relying on volunteers. In fact, the article is a good illustration of how ineffective this is.

Just like how events bubble up on the DOM tree, each node tries to resolve from its own context, and if that doesn't work, resolves upwards until it reaches an element that does have that attribute. So technically, the attributes are not passed down, but searched for. Here's more info on this https://github.com/intercellular/tutorial/blob/master/README.... Hope this helps!

Times are hard, people's freedom of speech start to be a joke.
I did some more research after that post and found this explanation at [1]:

> Turing put this as follows: "an interpretive routine is one which enables the computer to be converted into a machine which uses a different instruction code from that originally designed for the computer".

It goes on to describe how Wheeler simulated a number of capabilities that EDSAC's hardware did not provide. Some more description of that is available at [2].

Finally, I found [3], which includes an actual listing of an interpretive routine for the EDSAC and a more detailed explanation. See page 47-48.

After seeing [3] it's like writing a bunch of EDSAC assembly then partway through, you want to work with floating point numbers, which no EDSAC instructions support, so you use a special code indicating your next several instructions are written for the "EDSAC+Float" machine instead, and they are interpreted that way.

This final document I located was quite interesting.

In the end, I think "interpretive subroutines" are perhaps closest to being like "virtual machines" or "emulators". Because there weren't really high level languages at the time, the concept in their mind is more like writing code for a different machine. It is like a high level language, in that it expands the set of operations that the programmer can use to speak with the computer.

I was thinking the same thing. For something like Fox Games, the use of bread rather than a permanent material is incidental. But for a bust made of chocolate or an art piece where meat is nailed to a wall, the impermanent material is clearly part of the piece.

I remember when a 'golden age' (modern/pop art) display from MoMA came to my town. A lot of important pieces where there, but everything was tired and fading with age. Most notably was an art piece that was mounted on the wall, a metal thing with dangly bits, that the museum had put 'don't touch' around. But in the informational blurb, the artist intended the piece to be touched and physically spun by the viewer. I always wondered if the artist would have preferred the piece to be worn out and destroyed through interaction with the public, or frozen in time and put on static display forever (which seems opposite to the original intent).
As far as I know the invention and use of counting boards went hand-in-hand with written (cuneiform) records. Or at least, we don’t have any evidence of earlier positional counting boards, only artifacts like tally sticks and piles of (non-positional) tokens.

The Sumerian society that developed cuneiform numeration/writing was a large bureaucratic urban society built on complicated debt/taxation/social organization.

Thank you! You are right about everything. It's intentionally built with es5, it was pretty challenging to do so. Initially I used es6 proxy to handle all the state synchronization and message dispatch without touching the DOM but since my main goal was to build something that works on ALL browsers today, without any transpiling, I instead used Object.defineProperty. It was tricky but got it to work!

Also yes it is component based but it's a different type of component than other frameworks. Since cell has no classes to inherit (to get rid of dependency) you can write the entire app with stateless functions only. This scales better than class based approaches since functions don't have overhead and you can "componentize" anything.

Hope this makes sense! I did my best to explain these on the homepage but if some of them are not clear enough please let me know, I'll correct them!

Think of our most valuable institutions — journalism, education, healthcare, government, the “third sector” of nonprofits and social enterprises — as houses upon which democracy rests. Unicorn companies are rewarded for disrupting these, for razing them to the ground.

Are Uber or Facebook really responsible for razing journalism, education, healthcare, government, nonprofits or social enterprises to the ground?

Couldn't we also make the case that democracy rests to a great degree upon another house, known as "the people", too?
