I went full JS three years ago from a Java/Spring background and never looked back.

As a solo developer I noticed a huge increase in productivity and the time it took to ship code to production. My use case is a SaaS application with ~50 users.

Coding skills did improve but I think that's just a natural progression for everyone and wouldn't attribute it to a specific language.

Pros: very open community, lots of learning resources, no enforced standards.

Cons: it's easy to get things wrong, keeping up with new libraries is intimidating.

Tip: start small, create a twitter bot or something, use ES7

I wouldn't paint that generalization with so broad a stroke. Very few people truly value lives 100% of the time over corporate profits. If we truly did that, we would never turn a blind eye to many of the actions that corporations take while so many of us own their stock in retirement portfolios.

Live, quite unfortunately, is rarely so black-and-white.

Meanwhile Europeans are working older, to the same effect. The boomers enjoyed a nice work life balance across the classes for the first time in human history, but the ruling class managed to get us back in our place.
I won't say whether it's 'right' or 'wrong', but it does suggest that you believe rationality is flimsy and elusive, and therefore censorship is required as a first line of defense, lest people think dangerous thoughts.
> The US has been trying to get rid of Dilma (and Lula prior to her) for years.

It seems to me that you're conflating the natural consequences of the problems these politicians create to themselves with an assumption that it would be convenient for third-party to get rid of them.

Regarding Dilma and Lula, they are very corrupt individuals who rose through the ranks of a very corrupt political party, and the judicial branch happened to catch them. Consequently, their political power and ability to avoid being held accountable for their crimes reached its limit. Just because Lula was sentenced to 10 years in prison it doesn't mean that the US is responsible for him taking bribes.
No, they both got it from Common Lisp (ca 1984)
HD audio is useless if you want to listen to audio that somebody else has prepared.

However, if you want to prepare audio (or any media) yourself, it helps to have input material that's much higher quality than your output format so that you can mess around with it and still have something that's at least a little higher quality than your output format.

I guess archive.org hopes that these recordings will be remixed and re-used and incorporated into future creations, as well as preserving their original form.

On the flip side, most of the world is multlingual or have at least been exposed to one other language. If you speak more than one language, mixing words from two or more basically renders dictionary attacks impossible, especially with number of languages and type unknown. I have words from non native languages in my passwords and they are just as easy or easier to remember.
I thought it was a "plain" lease with maintenance (and tires, etc.) in charge of the user not a "full service" lease.

If it was the latter, then yes, but it would be "suicide", not even the "perfect world" example where the driver pays every month for the full period can possibly work.

EDIT:
Found it, is just "basic maintenance":

>- Oil change and tire rotation every 5,000 miles

>- Cabin air filter replacement every 25,000 miles

It doesn't add up to much anyway.

(as a side note the usual "US madness" about changing oil every 5,000 miles applies here as well).

I believe that when you buy a new Corolla, Toyota gives a 5,000 miles tire rotation and a 10,000 miles oil change included in first two years, BTW.
This kind of reads a little like sensationalist journalism, imo.

>If my points are wrong

It's your job to not be wrong about knowable things. Read a summary of the literature if you are actually interested instead of just proposing that a well accepted theory is wrong because "theoreticians" are biased.
facts are left biased, at the moment. Even though 'the left' is clearly imperfect.

The entire point of a recount is that when the votes are close enough to swing the balance of an election, they're recounted, potentially repeatedly until we can be sure they're correct. They're essentially never more than a few votes off either way. If it's not close enough to swing the balance of the election, it doesn't really matter that a dozen votes were miscounted - we'd prefer that not to be the case, obviously, but not by breaking the other properties of the system.

Short of some very very clever cryptography, you really, really don't want to be able to verify your individual vote, because that means you can verify it to others - the entire point of this process is to avoid coercion, or else there's much simpler solutions. (Pull everyone into the polling station at once and have a show of hands, for example.) You want to verify that one ballot was given to each person registered to vote, and that all votes were counted correctly, but you don't want to verify that an individual person's vote was counted correctly.
"drivers...will be able to return the car with only two weeks notice, and limited additional costs. The program allows for unlimited mileage...with routine maintenance also included."

The core problem for Uber is that the terms made it more like a car rental than a lease. Uber pays the maintenance, unlimited miles, and there's almost no penalty for bailing on the lease. $500 a month (~$17/day) to rent a 2014 Corolla is actually well below market.
How does the pension system in USA work? Do the companies pay you a small salary after you retire? It reads like that. In that case, what about the place you worked until you were 40, are they still on the hook? What if the company closes down?
I agree with the sentiment here entirely. As an engineer, our instinct is to evaluate things based on facts and empirical measurements. Societal ills are then simply problems to be solved without emotion. And us being squishy "meat-bags", we get emotional and don't fit that model then at all.

Lung and throat cancer are no joke, I would rather save them money then die from it.
This is one of those arguments the grand parent was talking about. Unfortunately this argument is why someone has a larger salary than someone else, not why there are disparities between groups. Unless different groups unequally finds themselves being "right person at the right moment", it should statistically average over time.

That said, I don't see a good reason to defend salaries that don't match performance. It's sometimes a reality, but still not desirable. Especially since many times being the "right person at the right moment" isn't luck. It's knowing the right people and having that matters more than your performance.

Nonsense. The Chinese have had a meritocratic civil service for ~1500 years. They spent the early 19th century being thrashed by the British who only established an exam based civil service in 1850s.

The Napoleonic French were a lot more meritocratic in their military and civilian career structure than the British who beat them on the seas.
"Do you genuinely think that Marxists are the primary reason for black people realising that getting treated like dirt is a pretty bad deal? That strikes me as a rather low opinion of African Americans."

That's Bill Whittle's claim, from the video I just watched. Take it up with him.

He says there were no African-Americans, no Italian-Americans etc. in the 1920s, just "Americans", but the Marxists didn't like that. So they told the African-American's that the white people had stolen everything from them, and made them angry (because they "didn't know any better").

Are you seeing how, even in this watered down form, where he leaves out explicit mention of "the jews", how this is a conspiracy theory? Divorced from any kind of facts?

Personally, I wouldn't go around dropping the phrase "Cultural Marxism" casually and I would be very, very skeptical of anyone who does.
Other than the classical whataboutism, it's blatantly not true. US is mostly a developing country regarding most social and health standards, from general health to lifespan.

When I got it was $450, they recently raised the prices. Even if you run the calculations, its still worth it.

$550 a year fee

$200 airline credit

$200 Uber credit

$20 Global Entry credit per year (Prorated. Global entry costs $100 per 5 years and AMEX will cover the cost).

Gold status with SPG and Hilton

Lounge access at many airports

Free subscription to GoGo for in flight internet (domestic)
And lastly, AMEX Platinum Concierge is still the best service for any card.

5x points on airline purchases.

Chase Sapphire has even better value.

$450 fee

$300 credit per year (When I got this card, I was able to redeem the credit twice due to the timing and how Chase calculates the year.) ALso Chase's credit is far more useful since "travel" is loosely defined for them.

Lounge access

$20 Global Entry Credit per year (used this one for fiance)

Travel insurance

No Foreign Transaction fees

3x points on dining and 3x on travel.
You can't call your airlines tickets $18k in value because you wouldn't have spent $18k on two airline tickets. My value is the max I'm willing to pay for a ticket, not the price the airline says the ticket I redeemed for is worth. Bloggers say this too and it's disingenuous. For me those tickets would be $5k because that's the most I'm willing to pay for two tickets to Japan.

It's a pain to figure out the best way to get from point A to point B using points. You have to figure out which points to collect,then you have to collect enough of them, then figure out which time of the year to go where the redemptions you can afford are. Then you have to transfer and book on partner airlines. It certainly isn't straightforward.

Yeah, sure, you can do a big trip with two HUGE sign up bonuses of flexible points very easily. Being able to get one high quality trip isn't the same as being able to get many high quality trips, you aren't going to be able to do that a couple times a year (which is what bloggers make it seem like). Travel bloggers promote churning through cards to keep generating more points. You can't just churn through Platinum and CSR applications over and over again. (Platinum is churable to an extent but that's another topic and AMEX is cracking down on that)

Those two sign up bonuses you got are not common and the CSR one won't come back ever again (Chase is losing money on the CSR, look for a devaluation in the future).

Also your points have to be spread out among 5+ different loyalty programs if you want to continue churning credit cards/points/bonuses.

My redemptions are fine, they fit my needs. I have not redeemed a lot yet. I haven't planned a big trip yet. So far all my redemptions have been for a couple nights at a time. You aren't going to get as much value if you simply fly domestic. Flying to Japan may get you the most value but it's worthless if you don't want to fly to Japan.

Anyways, my point of the GP was:

-TPG and most travel blogs are a business that are making money off you.

-Points aren't as simple as "sign up for credit card, fly to Japan," you have to be flexible and usually to get a good redemption you'll have to transfer and book off peak. Availably is limited.

-To get more than 1-2 trips you're going to have to game the system. Sign up, collect bonuses, close card, repeat. You hit a wall with this after a while.

-Credit card companies are cracking down on gamers.

-Some people are better off getting part time job with how much effort they put into gaming the system.

-The rules are always changing.

I realize the author tries to draw that distinction, but I think for many, on a personal level, the totality of the memo will be perceived to undercut that preface. You don't get to "hang a lantern" on emotionally-charged generalizations of competence so you have free reign to paint with a broad brush and expect everyone to just take your preface at face value. Second, much of the "science" cited was suspect at best, undercutting his credibility of objectivity.

That memo very intentionally dove into issues of identity within certain subgroups. You can't expect members of those subgroups to just unemotionally detach themselves from perfunctory qualifiers. He clearly wrote that some personnel decisions were inappropriately made to those of lesser competence. If you're a women or a minority, he may have been talking about you. With a smidge of empathy - a concept he does not appreciate - you can see how that may read to someone from those groups.
Good to see firefox progressing, I've started using it again ever since the multi process work in 54 and been relatively happy with it.

Only thing really missing for someone that always has about 50 tabs open is de-prioritising background tabs. I don't have music playing in the browser and just want it to use no more than 10% CPU on tabs I'm not actively browsing. There should be options to prioritize responsiveness over everything. Sick of cpu fans spinning up and browser taking time to respond to tab switches.
Your previous comment is a good example of the larger issue at hand. Your comment, the Google incident but honestly current western society as a whole.

It is actually quite interesting to try to understand...
What brings a person to make a statement such as yours, without having read the material in question..? Would the same person (you) also comment on how much he/she likes or dislikes food before having tried it? It seems to me this is not about having a "busy week" but a completely different view of truth, what is "right" and honestly when to talk and when to listen.

I dont mean to continue bashing you, but your comment was such a clear and ironic example/display of what I think is a very big challenge for western society these days.
I've been saying that for years. Here in europe, the reason the life expectancy is high is that it's based on people who die today at ripe old age, many of them having been retired 30 years, sometimes more... They are 85+, and they drag the mean age of death thru the roof.

When THAT lucky generation is gone, I think statisticians will realise that their children are /nowhere/ near as lucky, and I'm pretty sure the life expectancy number will fall off a cliff.

I don't have anything to back it up mind you, but raising the age of retirement, more stress related to job stability, whatever, you name it; it's just empirical but I've seen a lot of people in my environment die in their 60's -- many of them who had a perfectly 'sane' way of life.
I know what you are thinking, many more people will die at 60 then will die at 90, but I'm still pretty sure there's some underlying pattern here.

Also, I do have a vague impression that making access to the NHS more difficult PLUS raising age of retirement EQUAL MOAR PROFITS for someone, somewhere.

Well, IMHO a good way to digitize voting would be to give out a USB-drive-like (NFC) device with an option to set a value and lock it in the read-only mode using voter ID.

How it will work:
A person gets this device in the voting center enters/gets his voter ID, does the voting (anonymously), presses the read-only lock and throws it into the bin. After all the voting these device are scanned and voting data is retrieved. A voting database is populated in each center in a transparent way, to prevent tampering (several parties can be allowed to read this data separately and then all data variants can be compared against each other, just in case). After consensus on the voting data, each voting center sends the results for counting. And the voting is completed.

In the end, these devices are reset and the cycle continues.

Well, I'm sure that there must be some problems when voting the aforementioned way. But I guess it could work out, with some modifications.

EDIT: Grammar.
This is a change for the better. Ultimately, pedigree does not matter and a meritocratic society should not care about the institution that awarded the degree. Assess the individual and check your privilege.
> When the alternative is starving to death

This. If this is the alternative how is the solution stop buying cobalt from them? So basically, cos we want to feel morally superior these people will have to alternatively starve to death cos there is not much else going on in that part of the world to make money on... ? :/

While I am sadden by stories like this, unfortunately I think the solution requires complete overhaul of the environment they are in not just running the mine out of business. They need another alternative. But this cannot be changed by the outsiders :(

And there are similar stories, if not worse, with tobacco industry in Africa, but I assume it is not as attractive to journalists as "mining" is seen more like a slave job. (Kids basically pick and sort tobacco leaves with no protection which makes them absorb dangerous amounts of nicotine)

But the solution is not to stop smoking but to give them alternative. The only reason we don't have child labor in western countries is that we have alternative means of getting food for which we, thank god, don't need to utilize children.

(One good alternative I've seen is tea plantations, partially cos tea doesn't have harmful chemical for people so they need to invest less in protective gear for example)
Most pension systems have been phased out. The ones that remain are grandfathered in favor of 401ks for new workers. If existing corporate pension systems default, the US government guarantees (through the Pension Guarantee Corp) the pension at a reduced rate.

If anything, I believe he's in a bit of a tough situation. After valuing arguments and facts so much, he can't help but follow the facts wherever they may lead.
