The shocker to me was that your roof under Tesla's glass solar roof can reach 160 degrees! While that may not catch your roof on fire does anyone know if it would raise your air conditioning costs?

Elon Musk's sales pitch for the solar roof is so persuasive that here in America's second cloudiest city I personally know of people who have already ordered a Tesla roof. Luckily the temperature locally only exceeds 100 degrees once a decade.
This hardly frees you from Google's data gathering. They will have records of your IP address used to collect the emails and your access history, so they know (roughly) where you live, what times of day you are active, and can probably infer stuff like when you are on holiday. If you are in the same house as someone else, they probably use Google too and the shared IP address lets Google tie the two identities together. So they get to discover your relationships too.
Can anyone break this down a bit for the lamen. What's the ACEs pipeline? Frame chart, power windows... And more?

Does it really stay in JavaScript though?

I'm not familiar with the latest ECMA and standards updates and I suppose I don't really know what modern JS actually looks like, but the example on this page[1] doesn't look like syntactically valid JavaScript to me.

If you write code that has to be compiled before it turns into JavaScript, there's another benefit though... it's that you can never accidentally promote code to a server that hasn't already been vetted by the type-checker!

Or, even run it locally! You are guaranteed that the type checker has been run before the code hits a runtime environment.

Looking at Flow, I'm seeing there's a tool `flow` that you run any time you want to check the types. I think there's a background process way to run flow, that mitigates this issue somewhat... but if Flow is in fact implemented to always be syntactically valid JavaScript, that could be a bad thing.

> the nature of sexual harassment, and the often power imbalance between the harasser and victim, naturally provides the harasser with all the advantages.

That is correct in cases where harassment has occurred, yes.

In cases of false accusation, though, the accuser has nearly all of the advantages. And it's not as if it never happens, either:

Which is why due process is important both legally, and culturally. While I understand how people directly impacted by the event (and their loved ones) have neither the inclination nor the capacity to withhold judgement, mob-like indignation on the part of the public about every story which is reported is a dynamic that hasn't served us well thus far, and the situation isn't showing any signs of improving.
I'll just leave these here.

Totally off-topic: Microsoft uses WordPress? Pretty interesting that their whole microsoft.com/research site seems to run on WordPress. They even run the famous yoast SEO plugin.
"sources of truth" usually refers to data.

Having some designated separation of presentation and data is usually understood as a good thing.

I get that having them located in strongly separated locations increases workflow friction, but that isn't how Vue does things, and the rest of the problems you're talking about are present in any system where presentation and data have some kind of separation convention.

I'm also not convinced there where React is used to collapse the difference between the two it's actually solving problems rather than switching to a different set of problems, but then again I suppose every engineer has the right to pick which set of problems they prefer to wrestle with.

The canonical example of the limits of free speech: You can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater.

Similarly, you can't run toward someone screaming, pull back like you're going to throw a punch, then claim innocence when charged with assault. There are numerous court cases that draw various lines. Courts have recognized people sometimes say "I'll kill you" but without any actual intent. They also recognize sometimes threats are veiled and spoken in coded language to give the superficial appearance of acceptability... but the threats are just as real as pulling back in a punching motion.

Much sexual harassment falls into the latter category. Rarely to abusers (male or female) come right out and say "sleep with me or you're fired / I'll tank your funding round / I'll call your loan", though that does happen. By far the most common case is subtle suggestions or inferences that things will be easier for you if you go along with it.

In general it is best to avoid anything that appears romantic whenever there is a power imbalance. As a VC, you shouldn't be hitting on founders. If you think there is mutual attraction there then send that person to a friend at a different VC or wait for the funding rounds to close and assign the company to a different partner. Even then it is risky - the target of your affection may feel like they need to play along or you'll start bad-mouthing them and it will crush their business. When the target of your affection says "Sorry, I have a partner / boyfriend / girlfriend" it is a very clear signal they are not interested.

Even better advice is: don't. There is a wide pool of potential partners. Why are you so desperate to find a pickup among your founders / subordinates? Hint: usually because you're taking advantage of them! In this case the most likely explanation is the guy wanted to have some affairs and thought hooking up with founders would be an easy score. What those women thought or felt was entirely beneath his notice.
> China creates their own debt free money as needed. The U.S government must borrow it. You ever notice how economic pundits have been predicting an economic crash in China for the last 30 years that never seems to come? It's because the government just endlessly bails out the economy in a debt-free way that never sticks the taxpayers with the bill.

That's.... not how it works. USA consumers purchase lots of imports from China, which causes massive flows of capital from the USA to China. China uses these capital flows to purchase treasuries from the USA which (in part) funds the federal deficit.

At no point is China just "creating debt-free money".

The exact same thing happens in other countries with large trade surpluses. Part of the reason for the Greek crisis was that Germany exports a lot of goods to Greece. This capital flow drives down the price of money (the interest rate) in Frankfurt and drives up the price of money in Athens. The Germans, seeing that they could get 1% at home or 7% in Greece (in the early 00's) then used the capital flows to purchase securities in Greece, such as bonds, CDOs and CDSs.

In a larger Vue application you would use a data store (ie Vuex). The only thing that can mutate the data are "mutation" methods in the data store. It is your single source of truth.

If you aren't using a data store, your parent component would solely be responsible for mutating data. If the child component needed to alter it, it would raise an event that the parent would listen to and make whatever modifications necessary.

I'm having a lot of trouble truthfully understanding your "mental back-and-forth" issue and I'm wondering if it's an inexperience with Vue issue. Give it a try... I'm willing to bet you'll love it.

Schwartz said verbatim the Fed should be eliminated. Sanders has said much negative on the Fed, specifically that it's 'socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for everyone else,' and variations along the lines of 'fix the Fed,' but Schwartz is who said to completely end it.

We have some fairly sophisticated JavaScript that is part of our app, but we haven't drank any of the modern JS kool-aid yet, the only validation we're really using is a suite of feature tests written with Cucumber and Selenium/Chromedriver.

So if you have some JavaScript and it is functionally important to a feature that you've tested, it will show on the CI result if it's broken... but if there's a JavaScript error during the test that didn't stomp on the behavior tested by the feature, you'd never find out about it unless you happen to be watching the Inspector console at the time.
I'm a woman. I feel strongly that it is nigh impossible to clearly determine how much of gender difference is really due to innate biological tendencies and how much is due to social crap shaping the genders differently.

A cousin of mine commented on being a Navy recruiter and calling his wife to come sit at the office because of teenaged girls showing up at the recruiting office and trying to hang on him. He was very worried about how this would be perceived and he did not know how to turn them away. He was over 6 feet tall and scared of what these "little girls" would do to his career. The only effective solution he could find was to call his wife and have her in the office when they showed up.

I really think it is far more complicated than most people want to believe. Seeing the world in black-and-white, simple terms is just easier to cope with. But it usually is not an accurate assessment of reality.
> Judge for yourself.

Why the need to judge? Whether he's guilty or innocent, it's a tragic story for all involved, and it's not our job to make that decision: this is why we have a legal system on which our society is founded.

Now, if I had a direct relationship with Mr. Caldbeck I would certainly make my own estimations and act accordingly, but I don't understand why everyone feels this need to act as judge and jury of everything that happens. That tendency isn't one of the better aspects of our nature.
In our present culture, men rarely report sexual harassment or domestic violence, believing (correctly) that they won't be believed or will be expected to endure (or enjoy) it. And direct confrontation often leads to male victims being charged.
This; but it disappoints me that the market is so winner-takes-all (skewed towards the top). I wish — for artistic reasons, not socialistic ones — that the money that is making a few companies very profitable were instead making 10x as many companies survivable.

Ten years ago we were promised that personalized recommendations and discoverability of the long tail would make this happen, and we're still waiting.
Harassment is a problem that affects people in common, and men specifically and women specifically. Harassment against men versus women shares many things in common, but is not exactly the same. For example, a man who is harassed might have to contend with other men saying "why are you upset some woman is interested in you?" Conversely, a woman will often have to deal with harassment while already dealing with the challenges of being a distinct minority in her workplace. When you frame the problem as a "people problem," you excise discussion of the dynamics of its specific incarnations.

It's like how sickle cell anemia can affect anyone, but particularly affects African Americans. Obviously it's important to look at the problem at the general level. But no prudent biologist would ignore looking at the disease in the context of African Americans specifically, out of a misguided notion of race blindness.
Vue has one source of truth: the data stored in each component. You bind elements in the template to that data and they get automatically re-rendered when it changes, and you bind events in the template to methods (or just ad-hoc things like @click="toggleVar = !toggleVar" for a boolean) that update that data.

This includes child components, which trigger events that you bind in the parent component.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the point I made.
Hitting on women inappropriately isn't illegal. Being a slimy VC and using your position to meet the ladies isn't illegal. Nor is sending explicit texts, as long as the target isn't underaged and you're not technically stalking them. Not investing in some guy's company because you think he is ugly or you hate his dad isn't illegal, either.

I think that making semiconductors is unfortunately out of the reach of hobbyists. You'd have to grow purified crystals (or buy them), slice and polish them, etc. The various processes needed for lithography involve toxic chemicals too AFAIK. That being said, if you want to make your own large-scale CPU, you can still build one out of discrete 74-series logic, individual transistors, or relays. Takes a lot of dedication, but that is entirely within your reach.

Yeah, that's actually the same general space my business is in. We do Trade Promotion Management for manufacturers, which means managing their "contracts" and "claims (rebates)", and ensuring that they don't pay out more money than is actually owed.

Our price point is considerably higher than yours, and requires buy-in from every level at these companies for them to go for our product. We don't have a dedicated sales person at this point, but that is a good portion of what one of the three founders spends his time on.

We were initially trying to position our product at a much cheaper price point for just the software with us providing none of the "service" side of things, to market to smaller customers which are currently managing everything with Excel, but we found after talking to these companies that they are just as much of a pain to try and sell to as the bigger guys, and required just about as much effort, even if the revenue it would bring in was just a fraction of what a bigger client would bring in. That caused us to refocus on targeting the larger customers for now at least.

We use Webex heavily for demos and everything, but with a sales cycle stretching into a year, every single client we've got has taken us going out there for at least one in-person demo with the higher ups, and an in-person training for their users after the sale. It adds up, but for a very complicated software that they tightly integrate into their business, it's necessary for them to feel all warm and fuzzy, have a face to a name, and feel like they are not going to be left high and dry if they have any issues. The effort put in during, and after the sale is really necessary to ensure all those points are hit.
> Serious question, does free speech apply in these situations?

Free speech does not extend to groping. It's quite likely that many acts of mere harassment (supposing they don't, e.g., explicitly or implicitly condition exchange of money for sex,where then it gets into soliciting prostitution) is legal in a VC-to-founder rather than employer-employee situation.

OTOH, even the acts that may be legal are still newsworthy; not every act of public concern violates a law.
The only reason nuclear is even viable today is because nuclear technokogy isn't as bad today as it was a few decades ago.

Every time we have a massive nuclear disaster the defense (a valid one!) Is that the disaster happened from a poorer technology that isn't used anymore today.

If we had built out nuclear earlier we would have had a lot more nuclear disasters.

The problem with nuclear is solely that by the time the technology became good enough that it could be used fairly safely it became way more expensive than almost all competitors including most other renewable sources.

And this is even before including the geopolitical limitations of nuclear. Would we be living in a better world if every country including countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan had easy access to nuclear.

See a therapist. Your personality and emotions can't be easily hacked that way.
Good journalism, multiple sources, and multiple _named_ sources is pretty good substantiation.
I thought this sort of thing had been debunked?
First off, groping is very clearly not free speech. Next up, power dynamics matter. A random person hitting on you may be annoying. Your boss hitting on you and implying that you will lose your job unless you comply (or in this case, that you will lose funding) is coercion and also pretty clearly not okay.
And you know what else is a ridiculous demand on drivers: stop signs! When they demand I drop from 40mph to zero, you can't be surprised that I don't just lie down and take it. Sure, I legally "shouldn't" have stolen all the stop signs on my commute, but if that's wrong, then screw being right. What am I stopping for anyway? Nothing in my way deserves to survive the morning.

For all the down voters: Justin just admitted that all the accusations are true. https://www.axios.com/justin-caldbeck-takes-indefinite-leave...

The past 24 hours have been the darkest of my life. I have made many mistakes over the course of my career, some of which were brought to light this week. To say I'm sorry about my behavior is a categorical understatement. Still, I need to say it: I am so, so sorry.

I direct my apology first to those women who I've made feel uncomfortable in any way, at any time - but also to the greater tech ecosystem, a community that I have utterly failed.

The power dynamic that exists in venture capital is despicably unfair. The gap of influence between male venture capitalists and female entrepreneurs is frightening and I hate that my behavior played a role in perpetrating a gender-hostile environment. It is outrageous and unethical for any person to leverage a position of power in exchange for sexual gain, it is clear to me now that that is exactly what I've done.

I am deeply ashamed of my lack of self-awareness. I am grateful to Niniane, Susan, Leiti, and the other women who spoke up for providing me with a sobering look into my own character and behavior that I can no longer ignore. The dynamic of this industry makes it hard to speak up, but this is the type of action that leads to progress and change, starting with me.

I will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from Binary Capital, the firm I co-founded in 2014. I will be seeking professional counseling as I take steps to reflect on my behavior with and attitude towards women. I will find ways to learn from this difficult experience - and to help drive necessary changes in the broader venture community.

The Binary team will also be taking measures to ensure that the firm is a safe place for founders of all backgrounds to find the support and resources they need to change the world, without abuse of power or mistreatment of any person.

I owe a heartfelt apology to my family, my investors, my portfolio, and the team at Binary, who have been completely blindsided and in no way deserve the pain I've caused. But most of all I apologize again to those who I've hurt during the course of my career - and for the damage I've done to the industry I care so deeply about.

I agree with that to a point. It does count for something for sure, but I think the analogy breaks down pretty quickly from there. I don't want to be pedantic or overly demanding of the statement either though. I just thought, when I read it, that the issues are much more complex than that, and the analogy overly simplifies the matter.

I'm a big fan of electronic devices, and a huge believer in them being a medium for addiction and escapism. But I think societies need to look at the root of that issue rather than dismiss any medium for dopamine addiction as harmful (as harmful as lead in your water in this case). That becomes extremely subjective, and maybe not worth pursuing because I admit, I'm not educated on the matter. I simply believe that (based on my experiences) the misuse of electronics will often stem from a lack of stimulation, satisfaction, and/or engagement coming from other aspects in life. There is too much room for this form of addiction in modern life in many parts of the world.

If we blame the devices, we fail to blame ourselves for better educating ourselves and striving to develop society in such a way that people feel they have better things to do than escape into a screen.

I'm totally open to being called out as clueless or full of it - that's just my take on things. It's a very fascinating conversation, but probably not a great one for the internet. I worry I'll come across as thinking I'm an authority on this stuff or something, when it's quite the opposite.
