Really the most despicable party here is TV media. The coverage has driven recruitment for two really inconsequential groups, both Antifa and the KKK.

A minor dust-up between a few hundred people with weapons and 6000 people yelling and holding signs/shields has become major coverage, like it's the most demanding thing of our attention. It's not like these groups just suddenly appeared...but now because of the attention, we have to do something.

You can barely fill 15% of a minor sports team's stadium with the count (and public influence) of the people involved here. You're not even close to having to pick a side.

Palm OS apps were using swipe to scroll for several years before that. As far back as at least 2002.

That doesn't take away from what Apple did. They really took all of the best ideas (and in many cases hired the engineers who made them in the first place) and put them into one incredibly tight and delightful package. Just about every individual feature can be traced to Palm, Symbian, or a host of other systems... but the magic is making the whole thing work.

Still, it's important to remember that the iPhone was largely a logical evolution more than something invented by Apple wholesale. The iPhone was not the first touch screen slate phone that I ever saw FWIW. That honor belongs to an internal project at Nokia (based on Series 60) that died under it's own engineering weight.

Which again is meant as a compliment to Apple. They actually were able to execute on the thing where others failed.

It surprises me how successful these companies are already. I don't think to have more than $20K MRR is any less than having a product-market fit (of a lesser scale, maybe). It's almost as if YC is not taking bets at all because the companies that are applying seem to know well what are they solving. And although it's not obvious from the article, it sounds like they scaled to that revenue pretty quick (comparatively, to say the least).

If I compare with the companies in the batch 5-6 years ago, the difference seems conspicuous. Where are the companies like Segment, AnyPerk that were struggling to find a product-market fit and presumably, were working on bad ideas? The companies who wouldn't have a good answer to what they're solving and why? There are bets, like Greo, Goosbump, which would find it hard to attain a sustainable revenue, but I think the numbers are still low.

Paul Graham used to insist that their first priority is the team, but I think they have inadvertently raised the bar. Or, it could mean that startup wisdom of building MVP, talking to users, has become mainstream to warrant the decline in the bad ideas.

Yet another article bemoaning the "online mob".

In addition, they do everything that the left is being accused of, and worse. Here's an article by someone who happened to film the attack, and whose parents were subsequently threatened: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/08/21/fake-news-...

Because they spread opinions (and engage in violence) that any sane person considers dangerous, a deeply human mechanism kicks in: criticising/shaming/isolating.

These aren't new mechanisms. They're older than homo sapiens. Beginning with the first species that formed groups of cooperation, i.e. societies, there was a need to establish and defend group norms. Today, the harshest mechanisms to correct people who behave in ways that are considered harmful are criminal laws. But long before we get to the level of crime, each one of us uses a repertoire of behaviours meant to inform you of your transgressions, and to put the perceived cost of them on you.

This starts with your father's raised eyebrow when you're interrupting your sister (again!). It's the teacher calling you out for being lazy. And it's the teammates not talking to you after you lost them the match.

These mechanisms escalate along with the perceived harm. It starts with subtle hints that you should work more diligently, and only when such attempts fail, it escalates to direct appeals, or even the loss of your job.

Political opinions aren't somehow exempt from the judgement by others. If there's a real danger that a reasonable employer will fire you for you political opinion, don't ask "who will be targeted next?". Ask just how far from the pack have you strayed?

How to Keep Your Kitchen Clean? Vastu Shastra Tips for Kitchen and Temple
A few years ago I learned about the FIRE-community. Financial Independence, Retire Early. I'm more in the FI part, saving a big portion of my income. By living on roughly half my income, I save up for a "year of not working" each year. This gives me a lot of freedom and ease of mind.

Keeping this up, one could theoretically retire with 16 years of working according to this calculator. It also shows americans saving the least https://networthify.com/calculator/earlyretirement
Which is why the sales have dropped more than 30% over the last couple of years.

Obviously, OEMs don't want this trend to continue.
I wonder what these figure would be in countries like Russia or China.

I would also say American's are simply bad at planning for the future, and highlight the fact that 75% of Americans die intestate (or without a Will). But, I think the truth is that is only part of the explanation. While a Will would benefit and be applicable to everyone, not just people with assets, retirement is purely for people who have some type of financial surplus and lets get real. Most Americans are debt financed, from housing, to transportation, to schooling, to even putting food on the table.

It would be very interesting to see how many of those 2/3's who are saving for retirement are actually debt financing their retirement funds (which admittedly makes sense with employer matching), meaning they are living off credit and going (further) into debt while simultaneously saving for retirement. I would venture to guess the numbers are much worse than this article even concludes.

I guess I illustrated your point then, the coverage makes it seem like we have to do something; we have to pick sides!

I feel the pull and it sucks. How does one immunize themselves to this?

And could it be done to one or more percent points of the population, or even to the point that herd immunity takes over? How could advocating "mass redpilling" be portrayed as "domestic terrorism" to those deeply immersed in the mainstream narrative?
> There is no subtyping in Go.

There is. Go simply has structural subtyping [1] rather than nominal subtyping.

> It's interesting that you didn't bother try writing the equivalent of `let f (x: #a) = ()` in Go, because you CANNOT.

You forget that OCaml also uses structural subtyping. Writing `#a` is effectively the shorthand for the inferred interface. So you can write it also as:

let f (x: < foo: int; .. > ) = ()

where

< foo: int; .. >

is the interface of any class implementing at least a method `foo` of type `int`, i.e. what you'd write as

interface {
foo() int
}

in Go. You just don't in practice, because `#a` is both more convenient and readable.

And the corresponding Go function would be:

func f(x interface { foo() int }) {
}

the purpose of the internship is to let the company consider hiring someone who normally wouldn't qualify. So, yeah no conversion is similar to getting fired.
Basically, it's about "we can't use lib x because it will break lib y" - this already happens in java and I would consider java being very conservative and slow-progressing.

> And you might just not be enthusiastic about that “distributed” idea at all. Maybe more top-heavy, centralized system is actually what you need.

Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater!

Just because you have a blessed master branch, and a central repo, does not mean imply you aren't making use of your DVCS. You can still do all development on topic branches, including CI, and you can do it all in an asynchronous manner.

This idea of pushing branches between individuals in an ad-hoc fashion with whatever tools everyone wants to use makes perfect sense for something like kernel development where A) there is no single product running on a single production environment, it's a freaking kernel deployed to billions of systems globally and B) you're dealing with a huge set of people who you could never hope to standardize anyway.

When you're shipping a complex product to a single production environment, it makes a great deal of sense to centralize certain things. Having everyone bike-shedding on a million different code review paths, and relying on each individual to pass their code around to other individuals with no single place where you can look to find out what someone was working on will lead a lot of chaotic inefficiency that will leave juniors confused, and all in the pursuit of some platonic ideal that is cargo-culted from a completely different project.

Don't get me wrong, I think most people have a lot to learn about how to use git better, and I am a huge proponent of the value of a well-curated VCS history, but this article is inappropriately prescriptive nonsense.

You can’t catch all the issues in code review every time, and it’s not always you that does the reviews. If you fix everything yourself, the original committer won’t learn anything and the next submissions will have the same issues. Or perhaps the edge case isn’t really an edge case and there is nothing to fix after all, in which case you’ve wasted time for nothing.

Also, if you do this people will likely subconciously take advantage [1] of it in the long run, and if you ever leave the team quality will suffer.

No, you are not supporting their views.

It depends on the context. To use the context of Richard Spencer, if you spend more time arguing for not punching him than with other larger injustices, it speaks to moral priorities, which is what your friends likely judged you on.

I can't imagine this being anything else, but if it's a different context do add it. Again, it's all based on that. I'm simply pointing out that you didn't lose friends for believing you shouldn't punch people.
It's not so much that Americans are bad at planning, it's just that they're not taught to do it. It's not taught in schools, and because their parents didn't need to plan so much when the economy was much better, it wasn't a skill that has been passed down.

I bet a much of those "millennial trends" killing off overpriced businesses like Applebees and whatnot is due to the internet spreading financial literacy to the younger generations. That and they're too poor to eat there, but I bet the internet is having an effect too.
DOM APIs (which Custom Elements are) are not really "low-level". They are low-level in the sense that they are cumbersome imperative boilerplate compared to basically anything else on the platform.

The main problem with boilerplate in DOM APIs is not that they are "low-level". It's that w3c never makes any effort to address the developer experience when using these APIs.

This is why you end up writing 10 lines of code just to sync properties and attributes in Custom Elements where a single `{reflectToAttributes: true}` would suffice and remain low-level.

This is the problem across the board, not just Custom Elements. The goal of a platform (and the web is a platform) isn't just to provide cumbersome low-level APIs, but also a set of sane defaults and a set of APIs that address the majority of a developer's needs. w3c can barely provide the former, and has never been able to provide the latter.
> I'm not going to bring up that argument for Richard Spencer because I don't think people punching actual Nazi's is a big problem compared to the many others I support.

It takes a really warped brand of morality to say things like this.

why create a throw away "slikq" account? any intentions of trolling?
I do think there might be some relation -- rogue (ocean) waves are the result of many waves interfering such that an (ocean) wave of exceptional amplitude is formed, just as localized regions are the result of many waves interfering such that a standing wave is formed at said regions.

Then the idea of a rogue wave can be understood to mean a region of interference in which a wave of strange properties is formed -- such as a standing wave or a wave of exceptional amplitude.

Their cloud platform is the same thing: trying to not get pushed out by Amazon and Microsoft.

Google Cloud is about ensuring that those two have competition and can't somehow pull an EEE. Extreme scenario: vast majority of world's online businesses are hosted on AWS and Amazon for whatever reason creates their own AWS ad service and forbids or undercuts Google AdWords for everything hosted on AWS.
One way to think about rhetoric like this is that it serves as a method of forcing you to align with their view of reality. Either you agree with them, or they paint you into a corner that then frequently creates a hostile response. In other words, they aren't looking for a discussion. They're looking for a fight.

That kind of nuclear option rhetoric wise allows them to feel empowered both by denouncing an enemy and creating a call to arms within themselves and others. Furthermore, even if it antagonizes you, it draws you into their struggle, which legitimizes their world view. It creates a threat for them to fight against. If their rhetoric causes someone to radicalize to the other side, even better. It just strengthens the immediacy of their cause.

This is how Antifa and Neo-Nazis can have a weird kind of symbiotic relationship. Even if their methods don't recruit someone to their cause, forcing that person to become a part of the overall struggle legitimizes their world view, strengthening both parties at the same time.
And that the rest of the community is supporting his alleged abusiveness (e.g. by voting to keep him on board). It's not just because they dislike him, it's because the community in general seems fine with his kind of behavior.
