>The American way of dealing with crime is to move away from it to a shoebox in the exurbs.

The other way of dealing with it is to gentrify an area so the inner-city housing prices are so absurd that the poorer people can't afford to live there any more.

In a nutshell, the American way to is establish a lot of space between poorer people and everyone else. Honestly, I'm not sure what else can be done; all kinds of social programs have been tried.
As a 1Password customer who's been pretty unhappy with how the company took my money for a full version and has, since, been pushing me towards a subscription (making the non-subscription version/features harder to find, no Windows version, etc), I'm seriously considering switching over to Enpass [1]. The UI is pretty similar to 1Password and most of the features are there. It can sync with Dropbox and a few other cloud storage services and their monetization strategy seems pretty reasonable (desktop is free, mobile costs $9.99). I'd encourage any disgruntled 1Password users to give it a test drive.

Thank you.

EDIT: You are correct, an adjustment is needed. I am jaded from 12 years of internet sparring.
If you do have the struct implementing `Default`, as suggested from sibling comments, and it's fully public, you can also use the "functional update syntax" (where the `..` is):

#[derive(Default)]
struct Config {
interesting_thing: bool,
a: i32,
b: i32,
c: i32,
}

fn main() {
Config {
interesting_thing: true,
..Config::default()
};
}

In addition, the builder pattern is especially useful for larger configuration objects like this.
What I infer from your comment is you are saying that poor people are poor because they lack the discipline to stop being poor. Is that an accurate representation? If not, I'd love to know how I misinterpreted your words.

> For instance what if the CF platform goes under? It's magnitudes of orders more likely than a VC...

The bankruptcy trustee that takes over the CF platform hires some third party to service all the shell companies. Could result in substantial additional costs to the investors or the company. Who pays depends on how much value is left in the bankrupt platform, what's in the contracts, the efficacy of third parties involved in the bk, and the whims of the trustee and the judge.

"The lowest 20% of earners spend over 90% of income on housing alone, 30% on food". So yeah food and housing alone cost them more than they make, but sure lets blame them for spending too much. Silly poor people wasting money on a place to live, bah!
getting your nails did and lift kit on your truck isn't needed for a "reasonably comfortable life".

My general point is people waste a LOT of money on things they don't "need" that don't really add to "comfort". I grew up dirt poor and we stayed within our means. I was comfortable with 3 squares and a roof over my head.

The discussion on this thread is confirming the top poster's point, that much of what web developers do is user hostile. People here are aguing that ordinary users don't want to promiscuously use lots of apps downloaded off the internet. Then they call this mindset a "problem" and argue that therefore we need JavaScript to trick them into doing it without noticing.

In so far as your web app really is something that should be a full scale app (google maps being the classic example) this is a great trick. But as an industry, we have incentive to shove complex apps down people's throats when the use case requires plain-old-media with just a bit of dynamic stuff for navigation and forms.
I drove from Indiana to Seattle two years ago while on Tmobile. I really only had issues in the mountains, in National Parks (yellowstone really, the badlands were fine for the most part, and had full LTE at Mt. Rushmore), and chunks of South Dakota.

Out of curiosity, does your phone support Band 12? Because they have been really pushing that rollout which roughly triples their range and building penetration, so I wonder if that could account for our different experiences.
Shigeru Miyamoto's Keynote from the 1999 Game Developers Conference
If it's evidence, then it must have an effect on the truth or falsity of the statements. So if X says "the sky is blue" then X's credibility must be causally related to whether or not the sky is blue. As there's no such mechanism, this is pointless.

You essentially point out that it's an easy shortcut. And it is, but there's no good reason to take it. One's feelings of credibility do not change the truth value of any statements and so arguments over it are not useful. You will end up arguing over whose feelings are superior and not over observable facts.
How to Make a Facebook Cover Video to Turn Your Page into a 24/7 Video Ad
Yea I think this is borderline offensive.

But your point is true, one of the bigger problems is people try to live way outside their means. This is also a cultural problem even outside of the lower class, with middle class individuals living paycheck to paycheck -- or in a lot of bad debt.
For the first half of this year, I was walking about 10 miles a day through Seattle suburbs to get to/from work. During that time I think I encountered exactly two other long distance walkers, and everyone else who was outside seemed to be walking to a bus stop or taking their dog out to poop. (I've noticed that a lot of older Indian couples will get out and take a walk around the block in the afternoon, though.) I think it has something to do with cable television and Facebook.

Hmm, I don't think the slippery slope argument works here. There is evidence to support motorcycle filtering works, there is not evidence to support small car filtering, ignoring lights, ignoring signs, tailgating, or ramming people off the road works.

There is evidence that removing speed limits works though, so not a total loss!

> At least, before writing your usual biased diatribe you should read the original link in that shitty article.

That was just my opinion.

> In no place is mentiioned Spain and the article talks about rationalizing the shops schedule.

My point was because the only sector that matches the schedule the article was speaking about was the shops, as the three hours pause is very rare except for the shops and some services that operate in same schedule (e.g. some repair shops).

> But don't let pass any opportunity to show your hatred

Hatred, against who? To disagree with a local government is hatred? If someone puts a region as example of something, you can expect others putting examples of the opposite, specially if you live there.

> And you forgot that "libertarians" like you are just a tiny minority.

I'm not libertarian, I'm in favor of social democracy ("center"). And that's compatible with willing to have freedom for shops and business to operate at their will, without having to bribe local governments so they do "schedule exceptions" (e.g. some malls open on Sundays because of """exceptions""").

> And no, it is not feudal, it is not being slaves

That's your opinion, worth just as mine ;-)

I think this is why the MobX fanboyism irks me so much. It's a great little library but it does not solve the problems I have. I want to enforce the smart/dumb paradigm, I want to be able to quickly grok app state and monitor updates, I want nice dev tools, I want the data to be separated from components to the highest degree possible, I want to persist/restore complex app state. All of these are fundamental talking points for Redux and largely unnacounted for by MobX.

If all you switched to MobX just to avoid the boilerplate you didn't need Redux in the first place.
Coming from Python I agree that the lack of keyword/default arguments is initially conspicuous, though in practice it seems that library authors seem content to implement builder patterns to work around their absence. While ideally I do think that the builder pattern is less elegant than supporting keyword arguments, in practice it does avoid the unfortunate pattern I've seen in some Python APIs to just cry #yolo and cram a hundred parameters into a single function call. I've never seen a good interface that requires "like 50 different function parameters"; call me zealous, but if I were to design my own programming language, I'd make it a hard compiler error to have more than four parameters to a function. :P

> There's a real risk of physical harm at every stage.

This is vastly-overinflated risk, and honestly part of the mess we're in is due to people treating suitors as potential rapists or axe murderers.

> If you're unsure give 'em one more "I'd love to hear from you." before deleting their contact info and moving on.

This sort of brush-off means that a) you're going to be surprised when they show up again and b) they're definitely going to be more annoyed when they find out you ghosted them.

If you don't treat others with respect, it makes things worse for everyone.
You can, but if I remember the resource noone had was bricks, that is very important...

So the game pace slowed to a crawl... Also, the funky dice never rolling bricks meant people would quickly rack up random resources, sometimes like 3 of each, so they ended with 9 cards, and would then lose to robber rolls (7).

Then of course in one game where this happened there was an asshole cousin that thought it would be hilarious to hog resources and make the game worse, he would spend his whole turn making 'negotiations' with everyone, and them cancelling them, wasting like 5 minutes every time it was his turn, and sometimes if 7 was taking long enough have 20 cards on his hand...

We don't play with that cousin anymore either.

But yeah, not having a way to build roads make the game suuuuuper slow.
> I grew up dirt poor and we stayed within our means.

And the cost of living relative to the income of the bottom 20% is much higher today.

Even 'poor' working class people a generation ago could afford a house, car and family on a single income working a single job. That's not the case any more.

I spent a month in Salamanca and fell in love with the siesta. In that fairly small town it seemed the traditional siesta rhythm was in full swing. We'd go home in the afternoon, eat a delicious lunch, take a nap, and then head back. This was only possible because home was a pretty short walk away. I found this fit with my natural night-owl tendencies and I've always wished something similar could work in the United States. Unfortunately, when your workplace is 20+ minutes from home it makes absolutely no sense. Another thing lost to modernity.

I'd also take the results of that study with a pinch of salt - even if it is "the best" among the very small number of watches tested, most athlete focused reviews of the Apple Watch's HR performance show it being noticeably worse than a dedicated Bluetooth or ANT+ chest strap monitor, like the kind many cyclists and runners use. Speaking from my own experiences, the collection of ANT+ HR straps I've amassed over the years all work better than my Apple Watch's optical system does - way less odd outlier values etc. This seems to be true of most wrist worn optical heart rate measurement systems. If you are really keen to use heart rate as a training tool, the Apple Watch arguably shouldn't be your first choice.

"What’s notable to start with is that it took almost 2 minutes after pressing the start button for the Apple Watch to decide on a heart rate. At which point that heart rate was incorrect by 40 beats. It wasn’t until 7 minutes into the run that it agreed with everyone else."

People waste money on stuff that isn't relevant to comfort... If the truth is offensive, the so be it.

I've been surrounded by people of all walks of life wasting money... I chose one example and I'm not worried if someone gets offended. We spend to much time dancing around PC goals of never offending anyone anytime about anything...

But I digress...
There are two versions of this one:

"VC response: We’d love to get in on this as soon as you find a lead investor!"

The first is "talk to us when you have a lead". That's not helpful and it's bullshit. When you have a lead you can always raise as much money as you want - I do not contact these VCs back when I get a lead.

"We are 100% committed for at least $X00,000 if you get a lead or fill out the rest of the round" - very helpful, shows conviction, etc. This version is still not great, but look everyone can't be a lead, and having good folks 100% committed with $$ amounts shows a lead you have interest and will quickly fill out a great round around their check.

Don't do the former, only do the latter.
Why not? If the law is unjust, it's perfectly reasonable to be outraged at being punished when you're caught even if you knew exactly what would happen beforehand.

Let me assure you right wing people have as many issues they want to tell people about as left wing people. You might not like them or consider them idealistic, but they do. To be blunt, your comment comes off like you live in a left wing enclave and you have no real human experience with people with differing believes. Which is funny, because that is also how modern journalism comes off - privileged white rich kids at liberal schools who then shuttle down to the equally liberal newsroom, never interacting with half the country.

Time will tell, even if people have the best intentions a company doesn't usually buy out an competitor with an open source component to make it even better competition.

The business interests of the original company have changed, and unless they plan to make that open source product a part of the larger company, that focus will need to change quite possibly for the personnel who were maintaining it. I guess this really hinges on how they merge Overleaf and ShareLaTex, but I find it hard to imagine they'll open up that whole merged thing to self hosting?

Not trying to knock anyone, it's one of those times companies have every reason to say things will stay rosey and open because you don't want to offend your base, but no one can honestly promise that because priorities have and inevitably will change.
