A related sales concept is forcing people to say no, even if you don't get a reason for it. This is why some very effective sales folks will follow up essentially forever until they get a definitive answer. It looks like crazy behavior if your mental model is "I brushed him off twice, clearly that is a constructive no, why can't he take the hint", but the rep's mental model is "I close deals all the time after the 18th unanswered followup. If I haven't gotten a no yet, there is insufficient evidence to exclude the possibility that e.g. they're just busy."

I have. I once worked at a shop that tried to rebuild all of its web sites as SPA's with Vue. Four devs, two with deep JS experience, and it was a complete disaster. Vue isn't ready for enterprise, and the documentation is a joke.

I don't work there anymore, but looking at the sites now, I can see the old ones are still online — TEN months later, no sign of Vue.

I think all cases of writing a check you know isn't covered is fraud. The cases when you thought it would be covered but you were mistaken are difficult to judge, need to prove what you knew when.
Does not include dependents, groups into families. May include retirees though I could not verify this either. (you're welcome to dig through the data linked in the article yourself, let me know if you find anything). I think the general point would still stand even excluding retirees, but agree that would be a more telling cut of data.
The docs on the site are very good. I would recommend taking an existing project of yours and rewrite it. This is what I did with my home dashboard.

I wrote a few frontends in my job (nothing off the shelf was suitable and I had simple needs). I then rewrote everything in Vue.

This is also the snell of having a hammer and everything looking like a nail but I have basic needs and do not have the time to learn 20 languages. Python and JS are a good combo for me.

On the other hand, it is a minefield.

Unless one has an extremely compelling reason to do so, one should not make go walking through a minefield.
I'd be happier with a more private experience, at whatever cost it takes. As far as device pixel ratio, when I think of pixel ratio, I think of 4:3, 16:10, etc. Frankly, loading larger images means more data sent and received, which in turn gives the website longer to attempt to inject tracking data through EXIF or whatnot. Frankly, disabling off-page CSS wouldn't bother me either unless somehow we'd be able to show different "user instances" to the server when we request the CSS sheet from one part of the server compared to the one where we render the page we actually want.

If sites break because people control their web experience, then one of two things will happen:

1) People who are not security-focused will switch to Chrome, which is what's already happened. So focus on a specific group and push the edge-case agenda with both the browser product and an ongoing marketing budget.

2) People will become aware of what webpages are demanding by default and just how little respect these groups have for their privacy - and have a means to fight back through browser selection.

I'm willing to accept that there will be the need for certain opt-out options because some people are going to actually want to give up private data, for purposes of online shopping, online banking, etc.. I want it default closed down, but again, I accept that most people aren't focused on it.
> I bet that the 0.5% of the population that are homeless are found almost entirely in the bottom 20%. This would mean they are about 2.5% of that group.

Seems a bit obvious.

> And it may be higher, depending on the definition of homeless being used. Most people think of street people as The Homeless, but social workers, et al, also consider many other people to be homeless. They are often counted among the hidden homeless. These include people who are couch surfing, living with relatives temporarily to avoid being out in the street, people in temporary shelters and people in substandard housing considered unfit for human habitation.

> couch surfing

Couch surfing is (usually) not homelessness, I slept on people's couches when I was trying to get out of my mom's house in the most expensive city in Canada. I lived just fine, though. Couch surfing is not always great, but it isn't homelessness.

> living with relatives temporarily to avoid being out in the street

Unless your relatives are abusive, I don't think living with relatives counts as homeless either. If I were comfortable around my parents, I don't see why I would've moved out yet, it'd be a waste of money.

> substandard housing considered unfit for human habitation

Substandard housing is tenuous, I've lived in places with a horribly leaky roof, flaky electricity, and questionable structural integrity... but I don't even think that quite counts as homeless. I guess it's closer. "Unfit" is ill-defined, many houses that people would gladly have lived in in the 40s would be considered "unfit" today, but I doubt these "unfit" homes are presenting an overwhelming mortal danger like being homeless.

> temporary shelters

Temporary shelters I don't know about, I don't think they count people living in camping tents (or other non-permanent tents) as housed.
Fair point. Sometimes I think the police state that America has become was in large part facilitated by this kind of thing. Almost everyone is in violation of something these days. If the police or the state don't like you then surprise surprise... you're getting arrested for that thing you've been doing for the past decade that half your neighbours do too...
Well, the main reason for using these libraries is to automatically drive react. You want it to be easy to change your state and have that mirrored in the interface.

Mobx helps with much of what you've asked for above. Mobx-state-tree will give you even more from that list. Personally I think the persist/restore goal (and time travelling) is overrated (though mobx-state-tree will give you those).
One thing I like to do, especially when I'm too tired or fuzzy to spend my limited energy on a large number of choices, is to wait and see what others are ordering and then pick from those options which you like best.

Also reduces the odds that you'll be looking at someone else's plate thinking "I wish I'd have ordered that instead" :)
The problems with DNA are contamination and prosecutorial overstatement of probabilities.
Questions of clarity not addressed in this post (needs digging in the underlying data):

* Is this individuals, individuals who work, or households?
* Is this data self-reported or somehow collected and correlated by experts?
* Does any of this data include people who don't file taxes?
* What is the definition of the "college degree" category? Does this include the "college" category or degrees from non-accredited colleges/trade schools?
* Does "income" represent all benefits or just paycheck? I'm under the impression that civil servants make little in paycheck, but their benefits are back-loaded with pensions and health benefits that aren't visible if just analyzing "income".

These all have a large impact on the data and could easily sway the impression that the reader gets.
Playing the long game
Being able to upgrade the frameworks and platforms you choose to use is a legitimate concern.

When did you ever build a relevant application and stop touching it, forever? Any worthwhile software I've ever built has been maintained with continuous effort. On the web especially, "don't keep developing" is just a death sentence.

A good argument for not getting too greedy and keeping things small. It's the nail that sticks out that gets hammered down.
Okay, I'm a Canadian living in Spain and can tell you, from 1200 - 1900 in the summer the sun hurts, and yeah, a lot of stuff is done locally = walking or biking (usually walking).

It is much easier in local towns and villages to walk around and get what you need rather than take a car, often a more difficult thing to do given parking scarcity, and really not necessary given that there are many options for going local. I have two supermarkets within a KM of my home, 16 (!) cafeteria/bars/restaurants, and most other services are covered (banks, dry cleaner, gas station etc). In larger cities (Barcelona, Madrid and smaller cities) the neighborhoods tend to have most things. You really only do the long drive to hit larger supermarkets or to go to a mall or something.
Why not add a11y testing to your company's test suite? Tools already exist for automated testing of things like color contrast and WAI-ARIA elements.

If your company supported basic a11y then you would have an argument to use against designers that like low contrast text. It might also be a chance to educate them on WAI standards if they don't use them for their work yet.
I like this line "So, as a physicist by training, I started looking for something measurable."
It does consume water, but again we manage our water well. I think most people are under the mistaken impression that fresh water is in short supply. The problem is that our water supplies could easily be a free market while still being ecologically friendly. They could easily limited to reusable and naturally refreshed sources, and not drain rivers like the Colorado below safe levels. Market prices would ensure water was used efficiently.

But instead California gave away massive free water rights to landowners who use it to farm in their deserts. Over 90% of their fresh water is given to farmers to grow crops a little cheaper than farmers in other states who aren't raping water supplies, and so bad farming and water usage drives out good.

Absolutely agreed. I went from zero (and very poor JS skills) to starting refactoring my app in one afternoon.
The problem with both LV and MATLAB is that once you've done the basics, and now you want to turn it into something that you can maintain and sell.

With LabVIEW you can compile and redistribute, but good luck writing an efficient binary search tree when your data gets bigger than what can be searched for with brute force. Also, at least last time I used it, the version control was horrendous.

For MATLAB, just forget redistribution in general. Nobody is going to buy a MATLAB licence to run your code.
Honestly it doesn't seem that interesting - browsing /r/DarkNetMarkets, dnstats and just signing up yourself is enough. I've signed up for a few for shits and giggles but never bought anything, browsing is pretty interesting. You just need to find one person like me who'd be willing to give them the email... not exactly hard.
Seems like you fit the study's findings quite well actually:

"The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health."

You can be surrounded by "caring" family and friends that you don't have a lot in common with, and that can be miserable. Getting determined but bad/outdated advice from parents is a classic and widespread example. It's not that the parents don't want the best for their now-adult kid, it's just that they're simply ignorant of the best way forward. But they're convinced that they're right and that creates friction despite good intentions.
Extortion, money laundering, racketeering, human trafficking, illicit organ selling, slavery, gun running, piracy (Somalia not Napster), poaching, assassinations, political violence for hire, etc. are all independently profitable. There will be profit incentive for bad behavior as long as laws exist that people don't want to abide by. People are terrible to each other on a daily basis, the world over.

> Rationalizing immigration laws eliminates most of the rest.

This is indicative of what I'm taking about, approaching these problems in an extremely reductive way. Did you know there's an estimated 21 million slaves in the world today?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness

The legal definition of homeless varies from country to country, or among different jurisdictions in the same country or region.[2] The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter, a domestic violence shelter, long-term residence in a motel, a vehicle, squatting, cardboard boxes, a tent city, tarpaulins, shanty town structures made of discarded building materials or other ad hoc housing situations. According to the UK homelessness charity Crisis, a home is not just a physical space: it also provides roots, identity, security, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing.[3] American government homeless enumeration studies[4][5] also include people who sleep in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

When entrepreneurs miss the f* point
Do you guys plan to address these at some point?

Actually, let me rephrase this. For better or worse, Solidity is a shipping product now, so you're constrained in your ability to make breaking changes. However, its status as the "official" blessed EVM language can be changed without breaking compatibility. So I guess a better question is, are you planning to replace Solidity with a language that has more emphasis on safety in its design (even if it's called Solidity 2.0 or whatever... clearly it would have to significantly break backwards compatibility).

Now, I know that most feedback that you hear is to just take an existing functional language. But after looking at Solidity and EVM specs, I also see why this is not necessarily feasible. And, as one of your contributors has pointed out in this thread, functional style can often be too high-level to keep track of the underlying opcodes and their gas cost.

But even sticking with the imperative approach, I think it's clear that there's a lot that could be changed, starting with adopting some key principles like "explicit is better than implicit", "don't pick a default unless it's absolutely safe" etc. Looking at the design of Solidity, it's clear to me that the primary inspiration was JS with a dash of C++. The one thing that's common to both is that they allow and encourage "clever" code. Perhaps looking at Ada, Eiffel, and even COBOL for inspiration would be more appropriate for this niche.

In any case, if you're interested in specific suggestions on how to redesign, I do have some thoughts, and would be happy to share them.
We were both in a very small school in the countryside and when I was on 5th and she on 6th grade, we had wonderful teacher, Harri Ketamo (Google him and you'll end up wondering, what on earth he was doing in that school). Harri was especially interested in teaching mathematics. As there was only about ten pupils in the class, he had possibility to teach more advanced pupils further covering among other things programming and prime numbers.

I don't remember if it was in school or after school, when we had with Kaisa a debate over whether or not there was infinite number of prime numbers. The next day or so she presented, that it has been proven and here it is. Back in those days I didn't get it completely, but she was already there.

How did light bulbs ever become cheap enough to use without anyone using them? It's called research and development. Throwing out subsidies for specific technologies helps those technologies develop faster, but doesn't necessarily help the best technologies succeed. President Grant might have funded better technologies for getting more whale oil.

Just putting in a cap and trade system makes carbon neutral power generation much more attractive. But it doesn't pick the winners, and maybe some technology you and I are skeptical of turns out to be far better than the others.
I had a friend who made it a point to be non PC and who constantly needled people with pointed and offensive questions.[1]

Eventually I came to see this behaviour for what it was, as a type of submissiveness test.

The point of those questions wasn't to obtain information, but to find out if the other person would allow him to dominate the other.

Now whenever a person rails against the need to avoid giving offence, I am reminded of him.

It's shocking how much "evidence-ish" stuff is permitted, and how evidence is processed by labs integrated with law enforcement and prosecuting bodies. In an era of big data, it's easy to see how "profiling" will turn out to be about as good as a divining rod.

The article seems to argue that healthy relationships CAUSE physical health.

How do you actually prove that the relationship between the two attributes is causal versus correlated?

For example, one could conclude, instead, that being in good physical health is the cause of successful relationships.

Due to the way the US legal systems work, it is unlikely you'll be arrested for uttering if you bounce a $50k check as an accredited investor but far more likely it will happen if you bounce a $50 check as a welfare recipient. There are a number of gates which will prevent the first incident from becoming a criminal case -- the police will laugh at it, the DA will decline to prosecute, the 'victims' will not choose to set fire to their professional reputations by demanding a prosecution, etc etc. Police won't laugh at the second one -- sorry, business owner, we know that people defraud you all the time and that sucks. The DA has an expedited program to defer some of these cases and prosecute repeat offenders. The victim has someone whose literal job it is to move the case forward and convictions per year may be a KPI for them. (That someone is probably not a lawyer, this being not worth the time of a lawyer on a private payroll, but rather "loss prevention specialist" or similar. "Yes sir, we do intend to prosecute. Yes sir, I would be happy to get you that documentation. Yes sir, I can be at that meeting. Thank you sir, we appreciate you looking out for us.")

> C++. Well. If you came up through assembler and Forth you learn to despise waste. And that's what forcing an object oriented approach tends to be when there is, in the end, no real need to take this route.

I like wrapping an object around a hardware resource, so that the only way it can be modified is a call that went through a public member of that object. You can enforce consistency that way.

And C++ has the philosophy that "you don't pay for what you don't use". (Of course, if you use what you don't need, you can still cause waste...)
> ~50% of the bottom 20% has a college degree

I don't see "has a college degree" in the data. I think you are projecting it on the data.

It's more aptly described as "any college courses" and it's likely self-reported. Remember that the vast majority of "college" is not postgraduate degrees at elite Ivy League universities, but rather started (but didn't finish) at a community college or for-profit diploma mill.

I can easily imagine {teachers, college students, temporarily unemployed/underemployed taking care of dependents, retired persons} falling in the "college" + "bottom 20%" category.

You are right about availability of nicotine and caffeine but I'm not sure if you can make an argument that they could compete with alcohol.

I know that caffeine was a bit of competition for alcohol in the period right after it was introduced (some think that enlightenment was caused by this), but I don't think it's like that anymore.
I'm guessing that's olives, wine and groundnuts (peanuts) on the table. That bread looks good.

I fully accept this definition, I just don't consider staying with relatives or friends, or in a degraded-but-serviceable house, to be homelessness, even if you don't have any other decent choice.

I'm not ecstatic with my housing choices right now. I live in a ~7m² room with no windows or ventilation, but that doesn't mean I'm anywhere near homeless.
