Redux was built as an implementation of the Flux Architecture. In Flux, you have different "stores" for different types of data (such as a `UsersStore`, `PostsStore`, and `CommentsStore`). One of the key concepts of Redux is that instead of having separate stores for each type of data, you can have separate "reducer functions" that are responsible for initializing and updating those data sets, and write another function that combines all of them together into a single object state tree. So, the standard encouraged approach is that the root reducer function delegates the work of updating each "slice" in the state tree to smaller functions, and so on ad infinitum. That way, each individual slice reducer function can be written and understood in isolation.

My blog post "The Tao of Redux, Part 1 - Implementation and Intent" goes into a lot of detail on the history, design, and influences behind Redux [0], and Dan's post "You Might Not Need Redux" [1] talks about the tradeoffs that Redux asks you to make and the kinds of benefits you get in return.

Chevy Bolt has sold 8,000 units total.

Tesla expects to produce and sell 80,000 units of the Model 3 in 2017.

We'll see if they hit that target, but come on ... in what reality can this be described as having "completely missed the ball"?
Or if I watch a couple episodes of a show and decide I don't like it and click the "Stop recommending this show" button, it'll still show up in the "Continue Watching" list. What's the point of the button?
Name a product that came about by means other than "body styling and incremental change".

Even Tesla's first car, the Tesla Roadster, is a slightly remodelled Lotus Elise.

Apple's first iPhone is only a slightly rethought version of products that had existed for years.
That seems incredibly foolish. Paid ads cost them less than a penny per click and all it would take is for you to forget 1 time and they'd make all that money back immediately and still turn a profit. The best thing to do is just cancel. It makes their numbers go down and it involves nothing else on your end.
I wonder, would you be able to check if the self-hosted appliance is making requests to IPs other to the one that hosts your Github Entreprise instance? If you can check for this, you can be more confident that your data is not being sent out to machines you do not control.

Tesla has built the largest factory in the world for the sole purpose of producing batteries. Battery production is about to be dominated by Tesla.

It is now, but it wasn't when he was younger. There aren't many companies in the world he could have 100% of his net worth in at this point.
The Gen 2 looks pretty modern. I don't know if it qualifies as cool (I think it does but I bought it already so I'm biased), but it's pleasant to look at and not-Aztec-like the way the Gen 1 was.
The problem that those books focus on is the difficulty in switching from an existing superior technology that meets the needs of an existing market to a new inferior technology that will some day meet the needs of an existing market, but does not yet. The problem is that the initial markets for the new technology are marginal ones that established companies do not easily get motivated to deliver to. And by the time that a mainstream audience is potentially interested, new companies have sprung up for these marginal markets that happily undercut the profit margins that established companies depend on. So everyone naturally migrates up market and this continues until established companies have such a small slice of market that they go bankrupt.

In the case of cars the key performance characteristics that we need are ability to accelerate into freeway traffic, braking ability, range, and recharge time. Electric is naturally worse than gas on all of these characteristics at the same price point, however battery technology is improving at a predictable rate and it will eventually meet the characteristics that people need for daily life. At which point pure electric becomes viable for all of us.

Therefore the prediction from 20 years ago was that the pure electric cars would likely to come from something that perhaps looks like a glorified golf cart, which will eat out the car market from the bottom up.

Tesla doesn't look like this because Elon pursued an unexpected angle. He found that he could produce acceptable high performance electric cars long before the initial projection, because the profit margins on gasoline cars in that category were high enough to absorb the insane cost of the batteries. As battery technology improves, he is able to move down the quality curve. But to do so, he has to keep thin profit margins.

Traditional manufacturers still face the traditional problem. They can't afford to offer an equivalent electric car at an equivalent price because their cost structures are too rich. But he's moving down the value chain and broadening, and not moving up. By the time he can offer a mass market car, he'll have an unbeatable edge.

Of course even if Tesla's plan doesn't work, don't count out large electric golf cart companies moving up market into automobiles like Marshell Electric Vehicle Co Ltd, EZ-GO, Xiamen Dalle Electric Car Co. LTD and Polaris. Just as was predicted 20 years ago.

Either way, I do not think it likely that most established automobile companies will survive the electric transition. If they do, it will be the first case that I know of where established brands are successful in switching to an inferior technology.

This is (a) changing the subject, (b) lacking information, (c) partisan flamebait and (d) ideological boilerplate ("Alinsky playbook"). That easily clears the bar to be called political trolling whether you meant it that way or not. On HN we judge that by effect, not intent, because effects are what we're trying to optimize for. (If anyone wants a further explanation see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=...).

Bottom line, please stop and please don't post like this to HN.

Dan Abramov is one of the most actively helpful open source authors I've even encountered. He debugs basically every Github issue that gets opened against his libraries.
Its not really that hillarious when you consider how effective it has been. The "support our troops" propaganda has successfully disconnected the average citizens perspective of the soldier from the war it's self. Compare how returning veterans from Vietnam were treated to how returning Iraq/Afghanistan veterans have been treated for the past 15 years.

Same thoughts here about MobX. I tried my best to like Redux from my early on React days but could never get myself to like it, Mobx on the other hand has been a way more pleasurable and productive experience. I don't know or understand much about the pros and cons around Immutability and FP paradigm of Redux, but I sure can ship my apps faster and quicker using Mobx - which for a small bootstrapped startup like mine could mean the difference between life and death.

After having used Mobx for more than 10 months now, I still have to find areas that I dislike about Mobx.
This is frightening. Couldn't you have easily made a huge error?

Hi Peter!
Firstly, thank you for this!

I'm on OPT (STEM extension) - i majored in actuarial science. Am I allowed to earn money from art on this visa? Why or why not? I haven't been able to find anything in the law stating either way.
1. It is a fundamental human trait to not expend energy when it is not required, and that includes engineering effort.

2. Engineering effort is not required for Ford to continue to be able to pay their engineers a living wage, as they could live off of their current product line for the next decade.

Combine 1 and 2 and surprise, you have lazy engineers.
It's not going to happen.

Sanders could barely win cause they call him a socialist.

Now with RNC threatening to take about ACA/Obamacare, single payer is easier to swallow for people who are afraid of new things or uninformed.

UBI is such a new and radical idea compare to single payer. I doubt he'll win with UBI stance.

Also I wouldn't vote for him. He got not political experiences. Donald Trump and Arnold are terrible politicians that are very ineffective compare to their predecessors, both have no political experiences at all. You can't run a government as a company.
Can you provide an example of such a monopoly, that you contend has been created through "natural means?"

It's a sincere question. I can't think of a single example.
For most people buying a car has largely something to do with the money they have/can spend for it. Everything else you list comes second.

And no, it's not bunch of nonsense. Ads are just as fake as fake news. That's what the guy is trying to say.
thanks for the pointing...

but for some reason that I am not quite sure, I do not have this "vouch" nor "flag" option for any of the posts that I have the read access...seems the discussion system here works in a way that involves more parameters than "karma" alone...
I know it's outside my major, but it's technically not a job.

Backstory- I've been asked to paint something for my city, but I would be paid one third of the auction price. Also, I've been asked to sell my art at galleries.
Paradox games, which are plagued by pop up windows to the extent where they're quite similar to this game, seem to have implemented a ~50ms delay to accept a click. In the thousands of hours I've put into the game and the millions of popups I've received playing them I've rarely clicked something accidentally.
Just an aside, but why am I never hearing about RBC capital? 10 of the top 25 analysts (on TipRanks) come from there, with the second place (Oppenheimer) only coming in with 3. That's a mammoth gap!
But there are so many other things that make more sense: just imagine what a salesman would try to do, and he answer is not "another vacuum". They could try to get me to buy bags to go with the vacuum. They might think I am into cleaning right now and try to sell me a feather duster. It just makes so little sense that their reaction to "bought a thing" is to run ads showing me "same thing you just bought" instead of "things that go well with the thing you just bought"... particularly as they know what those things are as before you leave Amazon's website they are all over "people who bought this tend to buy this also". When I buy a camera they should try to sell me a lens cap. When I buy exercise equipment they should try to sell me weights or towels or mats. When I buy a DVD player they should try to sell me DVDs. Yet for the next two weeks they insist on spending as money showing me the thing I just bought as if I want to buy it again: what the hell? :/
Parent of 3 kids that fly a lot here. Airlines force you to buy a full seat as soon as your child turns 2. This woman was most likely forced to buy a full ticket for her child.

This is properly inacceptable. I don't understand why this woman complied.

I would not have in her situation and would have made a terrible scene had I been asked to relinquish a seat I paid for.
Huh, nifty. Learn something new every day, thanks!
Fixed. Thanks for your bug report!
It's pretty obvious that Zuckerberg is trying to grow his public image in the national psyche to prepare for some kind of political run in the near future.

He is not doing a good job, tbh, and if anything it's just further solidifying the perspective that he is an out of touch creepo
My argument is clear: some ideas carry no weight and deserve no recognition. Debate is for reasonable people with reasonable positions.

We've heard the same arguments from white supremacists in 1991 when Christopher Hitchens graciously hosted John Metzger Jr. (and Sr!) on his show. It was the same line then that these wet alt-right nationalists are using today: pride, freedom of speech, censorship. It didn't work on his show then and I'm not going to be fooled by this petty idea that we need to include every voice in the discussion. That's not the case and we need to maintain an "us versus them" attitude when it comes to defending ourselves against such abhorrent ideology.

The problem is not unapproachable. It takes time to change hundreds of years of oppression and institutionalized behaviour.

It's not a very high ground. It's more like a sunny hill. I think you protest too much.

> Those who keep repeating that Tesla stock is "overvalued" should understand that a stock's "value" is based on the current value of all future cash flows.

I'm pretty sure all the people saying it's overvalued understand precisely that.
You've probably had deep-fried bananas. I've had deep-fried watermelon. Like most deep-fried foods, neither is particularly memorable except for the kitsch, even if they do taste good.

Which I think supports the original point: you can deep-fry anything and enjoy tasty results, but that _still_ doesn't mean there's anything substantial in the sense of untapped value.
looks matter, I'd rather drive a 3 than a bolt/volt, leaf, or prius. + the safety / tech is much better in teslas (self driving prius anytime soon?).
> Instead, smart tech investor thinks about: A future product roadmap/opportunity, B bottoms-up market size & growth, C talent and skill of team. Essentially you are valuing things that have not yet happened, and the likelihood of the CEO and team being able to make them happen.

This thinking is what led me to buy GOOG(5x), TSLA(12x), NFLX(7x), YELP (ouch) and LC (oucher). I am buying what I believe the company will become, not what the company is. It's risky, and only a portion of my portfolio goes into these high-risk investments. Much of the rest is in mutual funds.

MBAs might do a little better in income investing for dividends. It's a totally different view, but investors need to understand that as well when it comes time to transition from growth to income stocks.
You forgot that blockchain enables capitalism and free markets on decentralized applications. Voluntarist models such as BitTorrent don't quite work, as we know (BitTorrent only works for popular files).

This is a huge paradigm shift, and it will enable revival of all kinds of P2P applications, and actually make them viable and able to compete with centralized solutions. There's Sia for decentralized storage (StorJ is not decentralized) and Mysterium for decentrarized VPN, etc.
I'm pretty sure researchers have already found the little island next to which she landed. It appears that she and Fred Noonan died as castaways on the island of Nikumaroro. Bones were found on the island several years later, but have since been lost to history. One researcher even found a piece of aluminum on the island that they believe was used to patch a broken window on her plane.
Tesla is a technology company that also happens to make cars. Ford is an automotive company, that also happens to make technology.

Lets talk about models - Tesla doesnt make a mass market car - even their basic sedan, starts at 35k - I can buy a nicely equipped Taurus, Fusion, Malibu , Impala, Camry or Avalon for less than that - and from a size perspective its far closer to a Prius or Volt (23k or 33k starting respectively).

Secondly, Brand Cachet - Tesla appears to be positioning itself from a branding perspective closer to where BMW or Audi does.

I'm more hopeful for Ford figuring out technology, than I am with Tesla figuring out how to be a really good mass market car company.

The reason I consider Tesla overvalued has to do with potential market share, as well as the traditional margin on cars - if they try to be a mass market manufacturer, I don't see Tesla capturing more than 10% of the (very crowded) marketplace nor do I see them easily besting the historic 5% margin most (mass market) automakers have, if they decide to be more like BMW or Audi - their margin could go up by a rather large amount - but their volume would go down by an almost an large amount... they might however have a bright future as a technology licensing company - that remains to be seen.

In short however, if you measure it by the "car company yardstick" its drastically over overvalued - if you measure it by the "technology company yardstick" however the numbers start to look a little friendlier. Consider though that the technology company yardstick seems to be mostly based on hype, rather than actualized returns basis.

Consider for a moment that Tesla isnt pioneering a new market here, it's trying to produce a better dohicky (thats really cool, but not revolutionary) in an already crowded market - this alone says that the technology yardstick shouldn't apply - you should instead measure it like its peers in that industry.
I would be shocked if the cost-per-click on the term "plated" or "blue apron" was under a penny.

I was under the impression that it was more than a dollar in all likelihood. (I agree; if it's a penny, then I'm pissing upwind.)

Anyone have insight into the likely CPC?
To answer your first question, a strong yes. You are a worse engineer for not losing your family over it. That's a hard pill to swallow for everyone but it's also true; the engineer that lives in his work will be better than you and might be 2-5x more effective than you at any given company.

What the issue is at traditional companies doesn't matter, the fact is that they suck and they cultivate lazy engineering. I hope that 100,000 engineers kill themselves working for Tesla because humanity itself will not survive without their effort, and then the trillions of humans that have lived and died will have done so in vain, and all of that is much more important than your kid's star trek drawings and warm-fuzzies.
Given how long some of these problems have been going on, it may be a chance to learn why it's not possible to fix them within their current organizational structure.
My brother and I work remotely as contractors for a US company. The company invited us to their christmas party 2 years ago but my brother didn't have his visa at the time. He applied for B-1 and got it with no problems.
Cheaper than bitcoin? I'd love to see your calculations of how Bitcoin is more expensive than the existing banking structure, including the cost of staff, buildings, etc. The banking bureaucracy is massive.

Furthermore, there is plenty of criticism that could be levied upon central banking, financing wars between nation states being chief among them. There's an enormous social cost to central banking.
The only practical way to break up large companies is to create a competitive environment that takes them down.

See: "Fortune 500 firms in 1955 vs. 2014; 88% are gone." If the largest companies were truly monopolies...

IIRC, the movie "Wargames" rejected a DOD plot request, and had to do without any support for even external base footage for the film.
You're clearly not part of a minority group.
You think the employers give a shit? They certainly don't, unless there's a lawsuit against them.

Just leaving doesn't make a statement to them. They don't care. They'll find someone else to fill that job, and if it's another women, they'll get treated just the same. They won't learn anything as long as there are people able to fill the seat, which there always will be.

You're naive if you think they'll go out of business just because you left. You're replaceable. Nearly everyone at every company is replaceable.
wow i love this. thx Maria!
>But everyone comfortably ignores the fact that the dev tools built into Chromium and Chrome are the same

I comfortably ignore it from ignorance and not convenience for my position, so feel free to help change my mind here.

Looking at an analysis[0], I see a few downsides to Chromium vs Chrome (presented as negatives when switching to Chromium from Chrome):

- not evergreen
- worse media support
- worse flash support (I watch a reasonable amount of MLB.tv, where this is for whatever reason still important)

So I am making a small amount of sacrifice for... the good of the community and, apparently, "better web standards support".

Can you flesh out your argument for this better web standards argument? I am but a child of the web development sphere and arrived at a time where "fuck IE" was an overwhelming sentiment, so I never cared to pay attention to it, nor why it was hated, and consequently I don't follow your implication there.

Turns out the federal government to which Microsoft sells wondered, “if they’re sneaking in flight simulators and dungeons, what else are they sneaking in?” That’s the version I was told, anyway.

That, and Easter eggs are another attack vector. How much of a security audit do you think those get?
> > but are stagnant and waiting to be disrupted

> The other car companies are rapidly developing their own electric cars. See the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf for mid-level and entry-level examples. Who says they will not disrupt themselves? ... There is a very limited window of opportunity from an outsider where the insider industry misses something obvious, but that isn't frequent.

So the outsider's survival is uncertain. Maybe the right move, then, is to figure out which one of the incumbents will remain standing after all of the foreseeable disruption? Which ones are the least encumbered by their legacy systems and relationships? Which ones are sincere about pursuing the electric/autonomous future?
That someone doesn't have to be at GS though.
I don't think many of the major car companies are going to be disrupted too badly. They have massive scale compared to Tesla. Electric car technology is already mostly commoditized, and once these companies scale up production, they will manufacture huge numbers of electric cars.

Self-driving technology is going to become commoditized also -- it may be Google/Waymo/Apple who invent the technology, but the large established car companies are going to be the ones cranking out millions of self-driving cars.

The car companies that are going to be in trouble are the smaller ones who are still committed to old-school gasoline cars, such as Mazda and Subaru. They don't have the engineering resources to keep up with the others. Most of the other major companies know what is coming and are preparing to deal with it.
