That’s not “Office uses React”, it’s a “collection of robust components designed to make it quick and simple for you to create web experiences using the Office Design Language.”

Do you really see no difference between the two?
That's how Apache 2.0 and GPLv3 treat patents. The language in the React license is not symmetric like the above licenses and thus doesn't feel like it's a "screw you" to patents. Not to mention that Facebook is very patent-heavy and it doesn't feel like they're anti-patent in any meaningful way.

The forces which threw out Dilma Roussef are behind this over commercialization. Dilma would never have let this happen.
Yes I should probably try to step out of the dev role and see things commercially or through a business utility perspective. My mind however wants me to dive even deeper into the rabbit hole that is search and relevance and the hard problems of concurrent read/write. I do believe I'm aligned well enough already for the database/search market but how to find time for marketing?

Edit: I read your post again and you are saying I need to be orders of magnitude cheeper than my competitors. Does the technical solution (being orders of magnitudes more performant) count in any way?
That is quite an epic underestimation of the possible consequences, both economically and geopolitically. Are you Theresa May ? :)

I'm not sure how the fact that business can find opportunity even in times of great adversity (including times of war) supports in any way your argument that Brexit is not bringing about adversity. It is very much a self-inflicted wrench in the spanner that the (thus-far booming) UK economy could have done without.

It's stating the obvious to say that things stabilise and life goes on "in time" (that is, over 30-50 years cycles).

That absolutely doesn't demonstrate that there won't have have been much unnecessary suffering, from economic downturn to war in the meantime.
>What I am considering (I'm not really proposing anything) is offering a guaranteed amount of coin for working for a short period of time (3-6 months) leading up to an ICO. After the ICO the company would buy back all or a portion of the coin at the final ICO price. Beyond that the coin could be exchanged (ultimately for cash) on open exchanges.

I got that, but let me rewrite that as I understand it:

"I am considering to offer an UNKNOWN amount of a NON-EXISTING good, with an UNKNOWN current unit value (be the value expressed in US$, tons of peanuts or pounds of manganese, these units or measure are all acceptable) that will (hopefully) in 3-6 month time start to exist and have an UNKNOWN value (presumably higher than the UNKNOWN initial value, being moltiplied by an UNKNOW appreciation factor, but that could as well be subject to an UNKNOWN depreciation) and (maybe) this newly valued good will be accepted by one or more UNKNOWN "open exchanges" where it may be traded in exchange for other goods (typically money, i.e. US$) at an UNKNOWN rate with UNKNOWN trading charges."

It's not even a double or nothing bet, as there is no base value of the initial bet.

As a side note, I can offer you 2,000 spiffletrinks for 20% of the company, if you are interested, but if you prefer fransghetmefs, we could talk, as I could go up to 8,000 of them for the same 20%.

The problem is that unlike the Apache 2.0 or GPLv3 patent grants, the React license restricts you from suing Facebook for _any_ patent (even non-software patents).

And note that that Facebook doesn't reciprocate that, and so if they decide to sue you for any alleged patent infringement then you cannot counter-sue for patent infringement they may be committing if you are using React. Also it makes you far weaker in negotiations about patent portfolios.

I personally dislike this whole patent business, but I can imagine even pro-patent people would also be against this.
You have things like IronPython or MicroPython, which are different from cPython but good enough.

When I say transpiler, I don't mean just mapping one syntax to another. I mean either really compiling to JS, or having a python bytecode interpreter in JS. It is possible to compile very different languages to JS, for example Nim.

I think it should be possible to support 100% of the core language - even metaclasses, why should that feature be more difficult? Of course you would not map Python classes to JS classes! You would map Python classes to something else, like opaque JS objects.

It is not realistic to support 100% of the library, but that is not neccessary - on the frontend, you wouldn't need to use most libraries, and you don't need C FFI. Most of the time, you'll be only pushing JSON or python objects into templates.

One basic difference between humans and robots is sustainability and resilience even when something goes wrong big time. In the evolution of mankind the number of humans was reduced to several ten thousands and still we did survive as a species because the biology of reproduction makes us very resilient. Robots however need a vast infrastructure in to be produced and maintained which makes failure much more probable.
It's supposed to be a joke.
I haven't tried redux with tyepscript yet. One thing that doesn't seem to be typed correctly is immutability-helpers (it catches some errors, but some stuff seems to be `any`).

It is impressive though how often you have types when I wouldn't expect it.
Don't see why you would do that, instead of a headless service.
> or why I should try Haskell instead

Haskell has some nice things going for it. Its syntax is cleaner than OCaml's, for example. Still, it makes some things (like having a mutable variable, or a hash table) much harder than they should be. It's worthwhile looking at both over some rainy weekends. Whichever you end up preferring, you'll have learned useful things about both languages.

(OCaml is better, though ;-))

> any large cleany written codebases from which to study?

There is a big list of projects using OCaml at https://github.com/rizo/awesome-ocaml

Obviously, I can't vouch for cleanly-writtenness of any of them. Whichever you study would presumably depend on your area of expertise. There are packages there for anything from theorem proving to bioinformatics to web development. If you're into compilers, you could look at the OCaml compiler itself...
Had the same idea :-). To revive freight tunnels. With the advancements in self driving tech and tunneling tech this would seem feasible.

SaaS and cloud makes sense financially and for support, but it's clear they have lost their most passionate customers.

Looks really cool! Just a couple of questions:

1. Are you planning to release this as open source? I really want this to have a native Cocoa interface on macOS.

And now, for a tinfoil hat moment: even though companies like Microsoft and Google are using Facebook's libraries, it is possible that they have some kind of private deal in regards to the patents clause.

> If it was IRC

I think that is something to doubt; IRC was made for discussion and even long winded discussion. That would not work for Trump as far as I can see. The format of Twitter makes discussion hard / impossible. To really create proper reasoning, you need to link a blogpost and most people simply will not click on it.
The problem is that you don't want something too unchangeable because if the derived key is somehow discovered (or you get your retina scanned when entering a country -- which happens in Australia, the US, Japan and quite a few other places) then you cannot change your keys and you're stuck with useless keys. To resolve this you have to devolves it an elaborate PBKDF using your retina as a salt.

Personally I really dislike the concept of identity-based crypto, mainly because it make anonymity much harder. Keybase is very clever in how they attempt to solve the identity-based problem, but I'm not convinced if it actually makes this any more secure than just using WoT.
Genteelisms are a curse in Italy, where bureaucracy reaches levels unknown in the UK. One of my favourites, because of its utter, revealing stupidity, is the sporadic usage by some overzealous bureaucrat of the verb "to implement" (recently brought to Italian from English) with the wrong meaning of "increment". As in:

"We're working to implement the number of bus rides from A to B".

It's fun because you can clearly see the mechanism in action: the person who wrote the sentence decided to replace the too understandable verb "to increment" with something so obscure he himself didn't know what it really means.
I wonder, does the definition of "open source" or "free software" require any patent grant at all?

I guess the GPLv3 has provisions for patents, but older licenses didn't. I remember some controversy around open source video codecs that you were not able to use safely because they were infringing patents.
That's definitely not the case. Some licenses like Apache-2 explicitly grant you the use of necessary patents. Others do not. And there are projects which are absolutely covered by patents, yet the code is opensource. That was the situation with Gif and MP3 formats for years.

I was involved with an opensource project which got a patent application submitted by the company. Even though I pointed out prior art. And even though I refused to sign the application as one of the authors. That's corporate environment for you.

Ask HN: You privately received $24M. What would you do?
Generic question yes, but I believe it's a good thought experiment to sort out some macro objectives/priorities and at the same time ask ourselves: "Why am I not doing this yet?"

It would be very interesting to know your thoughts on the subject.

PS: Why $24.000.000? Say you hypothetically have 100 years ahead of you, then this would be equivalent to receiving $20.000 per month.
I agree to what you said whole-heartedly and I have to conlude by now that I am so not even close to being a sales person. I don't care for the psychology of a sale. I've been in many. I've only seen one or two beautiful ones.
I'll call that a false equivalency, because only in my wildest dreams can I consider anything I'm working on equivalent to Microsoft. Among the Microsoft-level things I lack I'll count their legal teams, patent portfolio, and negotiating clout.

Anything I as a solo or mostly-solo dev would put together to sell would almost certainly be sold to a company less than 0.1% Microsoft's size - even at the 1% level it's just as likely that a company would decide they'd rather just build their own version or get someone to do so as a work for hire.

Edit: I'm also mentally picturing scenarios where Facebook's terms might end up tested in court. A developer team using an open-source framework without understanding the legal ramifications is one thing, and a thing done by people not authorized to negotiate binding contracts for the company. A purchase of a company or significant software (not off-the-shelf) on the other hand is by definition done by someone with authority to negotiate binding contracts. It's not that hard to imagine a scenario where that difference becomes relevant in court. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Facebook had an intern or two somewhere focused on identifying and tracking projects using React and what companies they're owned by, just in case they end up in a conflict with someone and need to say "Hey, are they using anything of ours that can make this go away?"
Posix standardization proposal: Add getentropy interface
> Interesting that you bring up an example linked to Switzerland, which isn't in the EU (it's not even part of the EEA). Despite that, it does have access to the European single market, something that some European bureaucrats are classing as 'impossible' for the UK post-Brexit. Let's wait and see.

This is how Switzerland has access to the European single market :

- It pays into the EU budget

- It has freedom of movement for EU citizens

- It implements many EU regulations, without having a say in them.

http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2016/07/20/how-much-do-non-eu-...

This has been hammered on and on during the campaign : the UK cannot possibly end up with a better deal than what it currently has as a full EU member (with a number of tailor-made opt-outs bordering on unfair to other members, to boot)

The issue is not with "some European bureaucrats", it is with some British people having difficulty coming to terms with reality at the moment.
> Haskell has some nice things going for it. Its syntax is cleaner than OCaml's, for example.

While I find the ocaml syntax very far from perfect, the whitespace sensitivity of Haskell makes it immediately worse. What a silly design.

Crazy, I kinda regret this whole thread, because this is absolutely true. Still though, perhaps the unappealingness of this is a silver lining, in that it disincentivizes buying stuff. Granted it's a stretch. Far more palatable to hippie barefooters (like myself) than to workaday parents that just have to get their kids to daycare in the morning (like myself in a couple hours).

Yes, almost certainly. They wouldn't have had to become a member back then. All that was needed was a realistic path to membership.

Instead, some influential EU leaders basically said "It's never going to happen", sometimes under pressure from their countries' right wing. Not because Turkey was economically too far behind, or because of concerns with the rule of law, but simply because a sizeable portion of EU populations objected to non-christians becoming part of the EU.

Nobody knows what could have been, and the current situation shows that turkish democracy was rather weak all along. But it's important to remember that Erdogan started out as a moderate, who sought nothing more than approval from the EU, and only turned to the dark side after repeatedly being humiliated. It's possibly one of largest mistakes made in recent history.

So about the only reason I have for it is some certain parallel algorithms I'd love to use, that are mostly best done at the thread level.

But, these days using unix sockets with some cute flags letting multiple proceeds binding to the same listening sockets means it's sort of less needed!

Though, doing a lot of work with Nim lately and exposing thread pools via Futures makes for some pretty lovely easy parallel code, so I dunno. Not a deal breaker but a nice to have, and having threads in OCaml will make things just that bit nicer

That's not the reason. Here in Bavaria most of the forests are in the hand of the state and there are growing forests since roughly 100 years.

> They do not have to publish. The USPTO will publish patents (provisional or full) 18 months after filing, so -- at the very least -- one has to wait 18 months.

Holy shit, what?! The US patent system means that you can infringe on patents that you had no way to know even existed at that point in time? How the fuck can someone look at this policy and think that it's in any way reasonable?!
It depends on what I would be expected to do with it. If used wisely, it could last at least 2-3 years if nothing more was earned. Personally, if I was just given it and told I could do as I please, I'd probably invest it and put it into a bunch of stocks to let it grow, and continue working to make money.

I couldn't agree more about ditching the expats. The flip side of "conformity" (a loaded word) is the overwhelming sense that you're in good hands and will be wherever you go, because people adhere to and enforce a high standard from the bottom up. When I return to America, I feel like the country has no footing, and gets more unwieldy by the minute. The important point is that all decisions are trade-offs, and neither East nor West has the standing or authority to really judge the other.
