For the past 2 or 3 years i saw commercials of kayak on tv. Everytime I'd be price shopping, I'd start with their website. It never worked. I couldn't understand why they would advertise on tv and then have a broken website.

You know that page where it says it is doing the price comparison in the background? That's where it always stopped for me. Frozen, never updating.

Last month, I was travelling again and went to kayak just to check. I get to that page and it's frozen again. But this time i notice the little red X on the top right corner of the browser.

> Popup blocked

I went to the next website of course, but it makes me wonder. How much money have they lost because they decided to use pop-ups for no good reasons?
Maybe Github should have an informal policy that punishes bad actors by penalizing how they're listed in Atom's built-in package browser. Or create a convention of documentation that is machine-readable and easy to preview in the editor's package-updater tool. But making blanket rules regarding commercialization would likely have unwanted unintended effects.

FWIW, Atom's community manager wrote a long comment in one of the Kite plugins' Github issues:

https://github.com/atom-minimap/minimap/issues/588#issuecomm...

> As a steward of the Atom editor and the Atom package ecosystem, I'm of course concerned about packages being used for nefarious purposes. But I'm also loathe to impose blanket rules on what is or isn't valid functionality for packages without some very well-thought-out rationalization and justification for those rules. I've been watching this topic hoping that the smart people here would give me some ideas

> [an analogy to the value of advertising in other contexts]

> ...I'm definitely keeping my eye on this kind of thing and if advertisements become a problem, I'm sure that the Atom team will consider specific rules. I just don't think we're there yet.

Or because a $1000 gaming PC is objectively better at running games than a $500 gaming PC on every single metric (except maybe power consumption), but a cheap Ikea desk can hold my keyboard and monitor at 28.5" off the floor just as well as an expensive one can.

It's nice to have solidly built furniture, but not everybody cares enough to pay a premium for that. If the demographic you're looking at is "YouTube tech reviewers" then it's especially unsurprising. Those are people who place value on having fancy tech. I wouldn't blame marketing, just a question of limited budgets and personal priorities.

I've seen some pretty cool DIY computer desks, like one where the computer components are spread out and visible over a glass top, or it's hidden away in a cabinet on the side, but it's a comparatively small number of people who care.
Pretty sure they only ban public VPNs or am I wrong here?
* "The history of western philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. A fun read so far (~100 pages). Russell is not afraid to tell the reader that he really dislikes Plato, and thinks he destroyed western philosophy.

* SICP (Structure and interpretation of computer programs). Learning Scheme for fun now with this book. I'm only in chapter 2 so far, but it is really fun

* "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hoefstadter. The story in one line: he have a theory that consciousness aries from "strange loops". Along the way he talks about fractals, programming, patterns in music and in pictures,...

* "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoyevskij. Fun read.

True, but he also is not terrible at policy and campaigning.

I learned my lesson when rob ford was elected. The man isn't much of a statesman but he can campaign with the best of them. While everyone was laughing at him, I worried over Scottish independence, brexit, and of course Donald trump.
I saw a presentation by the head of MIT's fusion department, in which he said that the waste would only need to be contained for several decades. It's very different from fission, where the fuel itself produces long-lived high level waste.

With the reactor discussed in this article, the situation is even better, because it would use boron fusion. That reaction doesn't produce neutron radiation at all. There'd just be a tiny amount from side reactions.
My bad, I thought that was added by the parent.
I'm a big fan of decorators, but it seems like much of the React/Redux world is overly class-decorator happy. It's really common to define properties in a decorator which would be much easier to read, IMO, as static or instance properties. I'd rather read something more like this:

@kea // kicks off the meta-programming to read the statics below
export default class Counter extends Component {
static actions = {
increment: (amount) => ({ amount }),
decrement: (amount) => ({ amount }),
};

static reducers = {
counter: [0, PropTypes.number, {
[this.actions.increment]: (state, payload) => state + payload.amount,
[this.actions.decrement]: (state, payload) => state - payload.amount
}],
};

static selectors = ({ selectors }) => ({
doubleCounter: [
() => [selectors.counter],
(counter) => counter * 2,
PropTypes.number,
],
});

render () {
const { counter, doubleCounter } = this.props
const { increment, decrement } = this.constructor.actions

return (
<div className='kea-counter'>
Count: {counter}<br />
Doublecount: {doubleCounter}<br />
<button onClick={() => increment(1)}>Increment</button>
<button onClick={() => decrement(1)}>Decrement</button>
</div>
)
}
}
Dear god no, please just let it die, I don't care about Badger, Badger, snake or Flash hentai flash game nostalgia that much.
Sure, but if anyone is really interested in Flash and Adobe's player is reaching EOL, whatever open source project gets to be used as its substitute will become the standard, and no one will care about compatibility with Adobe's Flash player, since no one will have it installed.
I also watched that MIT talk and it was quite insightful; however, as I searched a bit more, I realized that the metrics involved in the presentation are only for achieving surplus in the generated energy from fusion.

When it comes to industrializing the idea, the scope is far broader. For example, the speaker was saying that they can use the neutron streams as the result of fusion for creating tritium. In reality, capturing the neutrons is much more complex than that [1]. Some of those may deposit on the inner surface of the tokamak and have to be recovered by 99% to have breakeven. The nuclear waste is another concern in the opposite case.

Given all these, you get a sense that why companies like General Fusion [2] get funded. He showed that General Fusion is very far away in his metrics. But the pinching technology the company is offering, allows for continuous use of the fusion in rapid bursts (like an automatic rifle). When I met them at the Globe conference, they were claiming that they will be ready for production within 5 years of achieving a surplus. I am not sure how fast the tokamak can get there.

I have been coding since I was 8. At 17, I had roughly 9 years experience. I built some really cool things with neural nets/genetic algorithms at 17, and they worked pretty well. However, I look back at the code I wrote and it almost brings me to tears how awful it is.

Flash doesn't have to be shipped with browsers. You could always install it manually.
I built a microtonal keyboard: http://jsnow.bootlegether.net/jik/keyboard.html

The keys have pressure sensitive film underneath that causes a voltage drop when you press on them. There's a wire from under each key that goes to an input on an MCP3008 ADC. There are 20 of those, each with 8 inputs, all connected on a SPI bus running at 2mhz. Effectively, this acts as a 160 channel digital voltmeter. The Pi can scan all the ADCs about 90 times per second, and it converts key pressure into midi commands that can be sent to an external synth or I can run a software synth locally on the Pi.
On this article I clicked on it, realized The Guardian was going to be waaay to general, and then went to the comments knowing I would find a quick break down of the facts written by "my people" for an audience like me.

Often I'll skip the article entirely.
But it could at some point provide the key ingredients and conditions to replicate it. Lacking a laboratory of Earth's scale one could use supercomputing (at some point, we're not there yet) to figure out necessary and sufficient conditions, after which hopefully any chemistry student could replicate in the lab with that knowledge. Seems sci-fi now, but I could imagine this happening in a few decades.

I imagine the difficult part is to group transactions and addresses into understandable entities. A good tool could certainly make incremental diagrams that help improving that grouping though.
Hey,
1) As munchor pointed out, you don't need to use the decorators. See the "what is this @kea()" button in the first guide for more details: https://kea.js.org/guide/counter

2) Indeed there is duplication between action names and the reducers. This however makes it so that you can have many reducers listening to the same actions. E.g. setting `isLoading` to `false` when `actions.resultsFetched` occurs.
Chrome headless playground
Let me be a devil's advocate on this a little more:

I think one of the important parts of the interview (for the controversy) is:

"So if I vote, will immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?

OBAMA: Not true. And the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself."

When the interviewer says "deport us", it sounds like the 'me' here is not a citizen, so Obama should not have said 'not true' as a response to this.

Also, Obama says "when you vote, you are a citizen yourself" which sounds like voting -> citizen which is obviously nonsense but could be interpreted to go along with the interviewer's weird definition of citizen.

I think conservatives view this as Obama helping to create a viral video that will be interpreted by illegals as encouraging them to vote. Since it wouldn't be proper for him to tell illegals to vote directly, his awkward words let him send that message while allowing him to claim he was misinterpreted. i.e. if Obama wanted to do this, how would he do it differently than he did? (And he did say other things of substance as well so his supporters will claim that's all he was trying to say.)
In-ear headphones that are basically ear plugs work quite well. Their comfort, however, for long-term use may be another story. But you can pretty much isolate out any normal volume.
Just to be clear. The Mega backdoor Roth requires a 401k that allows After-Tax Contributions. Most won't let you do that. Their software will say "that contribution percentage you have selected will result in more than $18k/year in contributions and that isn't allowed" or you'll get to the end of the year and they'll just refund you the extra contributions. Which also doesn't help you.

'The Woman in the Dunes' by Kobo Abe: Sometimes called the Japanese Kafka. Looks at a Japanese salaryman who is imprisoned in the bottom of a sand pit with a woman he does not know and is forced to remove the sand in order to protect a nearby village. Creepy and ripe for symbolic analysis.

Before that:

'Kolyma: The Arctic Death Camps' by Robert Conquest. A nice, short overview of the Kolyma Region with a special focus on the especially brutal years of 1937-1938. Has some great eyewitness accounts as well as some semi-rigorous historical analysis (as well as appendices of camps, administrative regions at c.)
I am a big fan of Office 365. We currently have no Windows machines in our home but for macOS and Linux, Office 365 provides great value also.

Microsoft 365 is probably a good idea, but Microsoft is missing one consumer product: a great cellphone running Windows and seamlessly working with other Windows devices. Having phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops all seamlessly working together is something that I now insist on. For now, this makes me an Apple customer because iPhone/iPad/MacBook devices work really well together. If Microsoft had a fantastic phone with handoff, they could compete better. (BTW, I briefly owned a Windows 10 laptop a few years ago - bought it just to play with Windows 10. I thought Windows 10 was quite good.)
Let it go gracefully.
It's a cute paper telling biochemists things they already knew. The biochemical sciences aren't discovering entropy for the first time.

The premise this work adopts doesn't add to our understanding of complex chemical systems. Believe me, there are plenty of computational chemists in the world.

Explain this logic, please. How is it "better"? Using which criteria?
I wonder if there is bias there in the moment in time chosen. Having been a genX young professional in 2000, my impression at the time was that the rocketing Internet bubble caused a lot of people to switch jobs much faster than they had done even just five years earlier (lots of Internet companies were recruiting heavily and plucking people out of other jobs because the demand for new hires was so high. Lots of rapidly growing companies with stock options to offer made for an employees' market). After the bubble collapsed, jobs were much harder to come by, which in turn meant job tenures were longer. It would be interesting to compare today to 1997 or 2007, rather than 2000.
To me it's about changing position. Sitting, standing, treadmill, reclining or whatever. It's all causing problems if you do any of these for 8 hours straight.

I was not implying they were not looking for funding, I explicitly stated so. They were principally interested in selling units, or, as in your cited text, the means to build them. Again this is clearly not funding for development. The qualitative difference is that, unlike contemporaries, the Wrights were out to provide what they had (or were easily capable of), not what they were yet to have if given money.

Warren Buffett is a wonderful person but he's the product of a mixed economy with strong institutions. My point (which could have been better made) is that brands depend heavily on social infrastructure for their survival

Put it this way, suppose the C-suite and the board at Priceline went insane and wiped all their own servers before leaping out of their penthouse windows. It would disrupt the travel industry, but it wouldn't be that difficult to build another price aggregation network - the infrastructure is already there. And a year later, nobody would care.

Consumers aren't nearly as invested in brands as marketing people like to imagine, they're just lazy and stick with whatever works OK. Can you imagine consumers feeling sad about the demise of Priceline or any other major brand? If Geico went out of business I'd feel a little bit of nostalgia for those animated gecko commercials and might reminisce that they were a good company to do business with, but that's about it.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! This is definitely something to think about, as nothing in the syntax of kea is set in stone.

That said, the magic with having a big options hash in the `@kea({})` call itself is that then you can easily disconnect the logic from your components as your application grows. Here's more information about this: https://kea.js.org/guide/connected

Also, I'm not sure you can do `this.actions` inside a static variable, but I understand the point that you were trying to make.
There's a principle that I try to apply in situations like this: giving other developers some credit.

By which, I mean that if every Kayak search was frozen, for every user, I believe that the developers over there would have caught that and fixed it. If a meaningful number of people were experiencing freeze errors, I also expect they would have caught it.

Is it possible the problem is your browser setup, and this is not an experience other people have?

They tried and failed, very little chance they will try another shot at this, their brand is not associated with quality phones and it will be extremely hard to get developers to work on apps because they will believe the platform will be abandoned.
There could be an issue of opening up even more security issues for people with Flash still installed. That, in turn, will likely lead to an all out campaign to remove Flash from everything possible (maybe not a bad thing at this point).

But, honestly - Flash as a platform hasn't advanced much in quite a while. What it once offered - rich multimedia runtime engine across platforms - is either available in the browser directly or can be attained through even more rich engines such as Unity3D.

Mega backdoor Roth is capped at $35000 (highly unusual to be able to fully fund this amount, since it requires a 401(k) that is structured to support it).

Backdoor Roth / direct contribution is capped at $5500 a year.

So in a perfectly optimal world of all the right situations, you could put up to $40,500/yr into a Roth IRA.

Currently, I'm getting about $15k into my Roth IRA annually (got lucky with the properly structured 401(k) plan at work) and I feel pretty fortunate about that.
Private by default, but the default of 2 foreign tx seems to be largely what people use. It'd be fun to trace it and start to show the probability that a given tx traces to a given public key. I imagine that the older tx have closer and closer to a uniform probability across older addresses. Might make for a good data vis project.

here's the issue:

assume that, to simplify, that every research paper out of there has findings with p-value < 0.05 - that means one in 20 papers has wrong conclusions in it.

or that one in 20 teams will not be able to reproduce findings.

0.05 is just removed enough from coincidence that, given a solid theory, corroborates the findings. but running across data to find correlation and using 0.05 as threshold is a surefire way to find something that has no actual significance beyond mathematics and zero ground in reality.
