I disagree with the parent poster, but you're sort of confirming their point. There's no such thing as a "secret" patent. The very definition of a patent is that you publish the details in public, in exchange for a time-limited, exclusive right to it. If you want to try to keep something a trade secret, you don't patent it.
> In terms of Bengali food? I can't speak to it too much, I had it once and it was good. It was East End Toronto -- Danforth/Victoria Park area, it's called Little Bangladesh

As mentioned above, Bangladeshi food is different from traditional (West) Bengali food[0]. So what you ate there was probably Bangladeshi food, which is much more similar to Punjabi food.

Bengali food is an entirely different cuisine; there's very little overlap.

I loved Brunch back a few years ago. But I wasn't happy with how plugins worked, or their "all files get included in your bundle even if you never required them".

So I built my own build system on top of Gulp, and added a set of tasks using browserify for web apps (https://github.com/BraveNewWorldDev/parched-example-app). It's heavily "convention over configuration", like "npm install parched-babel" is all you need to get Babel integrated.

I'm still using it in production on websites, Cordova apps, and Electron apps, but I'd still recommend webpack nowadays since that's where the community is.

Until someone more senior than you comes along and takes your seat. Typically someone from outside the office who just wants to sit next to their "friends". Nothing quite reminds you how junior you are than to have to find another desk.

It's another one of those "wins" for the corporation - why set up guest stations throughout the business when you can just say "there are no assigned desks"? It even re-inforces the "we are a family, not a company" meme.
Yet another guy who thinks he's a government entity. Refusing to do business with someone isn't censorship, _it's speech_. No-one's campaigning to remove Breitbart's license to do business, they're just saying Shopify shouldn't be doing business with them.

If a guy says offensive stuff in a bar and keeps starting fights, sooner or later you'll have two groups of people. The ones who don't want to hang around with him any more, and the ones who are okay with his behaviour.

All of which, frankly, is pretty much covered by the obvious XKCD comic.

And yeah, there's plenty of grey in the world. But I'll let you in on a secret: even the grey stuff doesn't like Breitbart.
True, and I'm not suggesting that service providers would have to "ok" anything. I just think it's fair for them to set terms of service that lay out what you can and can't do, and for those terms of service to have some moral backing to them, beyond simple legality.

One thing I think should be differentiated though is certain types of communication channels. I think internet access should be protected for freedom of speech. Selling merchandise online though is not fundamental to that speech though and should not be protected. Similarly I don't think a domain name is a fundamental requirement (in the case of the Daily Stormer).
The key problem with any attempt to revitalize nationalist interests is that there's nothing that keeps people together as it once did in the past. There's little, if any, affinity between people as it once existed in the past here in the US. A Kansan has little concern for the matters that affect an Alabaman or a Texan having any worries for the plight of the New Yorker. Effectively, the US is just a collection of nations than a nation onto itself. I'm not sure what Bannon expects to happen if nationalism does finally take root because if people have more affinity for their home/resident state than they do for the United States then that just means the US ceases to be relevant in the lives of the average person and the whole fantasy of a unified nationalistic United States evaporates. Unless he's wants the abolition of the United States I can't imagine his plan ever working out.
Yeah, I get the feeling that we're hearing one side of a very two-sided story. Maybe she feels the need to vindicate herself since the court didn't, but it's making her look like a sore loser. And she's trying to poison the well by claiming anyone criticizing her was part of a paid "troll army".

I remember her time at Reddit very well. She was almost universally disliked by the "troll army", AKA normal users who formed their opinions independently.

The whole thing makes me queasy--to think that somebody is going to determine what to censor on the Internet can never be anything but a bad dream. We can suffer through the hate speech and counter it with rational arguments. But once censorship gets going, it is very hard to get back from there.
Just so that people can get a fair view and not judge from a cherry-picked post, here's a link to the top part from this month[0].

It's a pretty broad sampling of:
- Laughing at fat people
- "I hate this bitch in this picture"-style hatred
- A post literally pointed at the victim at Charlottesville, "exposing the truth" that she was fat, saying they "wonder why" she died.

And in my memory, /r/fatpeoplehate was much more toxic than this at the time it was shut down.

They're completely within their right to make the decision that they've made. What I think is disingenuous is hiding behind some larger "moral code" reasoning. They're trying to make it seem like they're doing humanity some good by keeping Breitbart when what they're doing is simply conducting business as they have a right to do.

They would have been better off not making a statement than making the one they did.

What's the actual number? Because if 99 people out of a 100 all didn't think to text Kyle, then I don't think there's even a handful of people that actually really ever wanted him to be there.

It takes a very particular size of group for that to happen. If you hang out with 4-5 people you would know if you "forgot" to invite someone. If it's much more than that, that is really a lot of people who it didn't occur to whether they wanted to see Kyle there or not.

But you should really ask Kyle, about feeling left out and the quality of his friendships.

> 99% of our friends use the very useful party organizing app with integrated chat and picture sharing, Facebook

Except that is not why you are on FB while trying to defend your behaviour towards Kyle, that's only the story an alcoholic tells to himself when he's meeting his friends at the corner pub.

If FB usage was just a "party organizing app with integrated chat and picture sharing", we would not be having this discussion.

Let alone a "very useful" one, which would obviously allow to invite people transparently and easily via multiple channels of communication. FB does the exact opposite of this[0]. Now listen to yourself defending this!! Is that really your true opinion of this "organising app" speaking, or is it your dopamine-addiction, group identity and fear of ostracism?

I'm not saying she wasn't, i'm just saying that neither they nor you can tell whether she actually was. Just that she seemed to be it. Maybe she was the best one, maybe appearances weren't quite that, maybe there were candidates they didn't recognize despite them being better. There are many options. Claiming she actually and factually was the best one is just overconfident though.

And yes, they may have said "she is the best", but that doesn't mean they actually got that right.

A 1987 study found 700 out of 480,000 Earth and life scientists don't believe in evolution. Are you suggesting these gender topics have a comparable consensus ratio? If so, evidence of this consensus should be trivial for you to produce.

So go ahead, I firmly believe attacking the strongest opposing argument, and I'm only interested in facts. Pick what you believe is Damore's weakest evidence, just one point, and show me the evidence of consensus contrary to Damore's position with a ratio on the same order as above. Then I will happily acknowledge that your analogy to evolution is 100% faithful.

> But one should bear in mind that creationism isn't what condemned millions to dependence and humiliation

A humiliation and dependence that none of the outraged people actually lived through. It's amazing that women could put up with the insane discrimination and sexism to achieve gender parity in so many other male dominated fields, like law and medicine, all without needing the outrage machine, but they are somehow powerless against a bunch of nerds who, by and large, just want to play with cool tech.

Frankly, it makes one question whether outrage is really a useful response at all.

I don't disagree with your general point, but I don't think we can ascribe a singular objective to Facebook as an entire organisation.

It was quite clear from the discussion around the recent github issue asking them to consider relicensing that there are many parties internal to Facebook with a say in the decision, and it's unlikely they all agree on everything. The React developer's motives for releasing React as open source are probably more along the lines of "creating communities to build better software together", and there are obviously others within Facebook who are motivated by protecting Facebook from lawsuits. What we see on the outside is the resulting compromise. See Dan Abramov's comments in the issue, particularly [1] & [2]

I wonder why so few are talking about the in-between. There seems to be only open offices or everyone has their private room. The first is my personal nightmare, the second is very expensive and hinders quick collaboration with colleagues.

At my workplace we have a mix of both. We have project rooms (my current one has 6 people) where people are working on the same or similar things. This keeps the noise and visual distractions to a minimum (we have small cubicle-like walls attached to our desks that rise with the desk if you raise it up) while still allowing us to ask the quick question or look at things together if required (of course you need to limit that so that you don't bug them all the time). In my experience this is the best compromise if you are working in a project with a few other people.

The removal of personal desks would be terrible IMO. Many people have said they just like having a desk, but I also have notepads, things attached to the desk "walls", stuff for fidgeting when I'm thinking, 2 monitors attached to my laptop, keyboard, mouse, headphones... I can take my laptop to go sit wherever else, but why would I? I would have to carry around so much stuff or forgo these productivity tools I have. Sometimes I do write with just my laptop in the common areas somewhere, but it's only for a short while. Sure, you could put standardised desks everywhere with the same setup, but then it would probably not match _my_ preferences anymore and thus would be worse for my working.
It gives me a warm feeling to hear advice like that being taken to heart. I would like to say that I always do the same, but I know that this will stick in my mind.

Brunch has a good "vs Webpack" section in their docs: http://brunch.io/docs/why-brunch#brunch-vs-webpack

Some of the big table stakes features that Brunch is missing are code splitting and handling of binary assets (allowing things like image inlining). It also doesn't have true hot module reloading, which is a pretty useful dev feature.
I looked into Vue + Webpack vs Vue + Brunch on my last project. I ended up with Brunch because the requirements are fairly basic and Brunch are easier to grok. Had the requirements be a little bit more complex, I could have easily gone for Webpack.

IMO, there are a few key things lacking with the Vue + Brunch combo:

- The `vue-brunch` plugin seems to be no longer in active development? (https://github.com/theocodes/vue-brunch)

- The `sass-loader` plugin allows me to use Sass dialect in SFC-style Vue (Single File Component). I'm using plain CSS with Vue + Brunch SFC as I cannot find a Brunch plugin offering similar functionality.

- There are some Brunch idiosyncracies. For one, the processing pipeline is executed as per `package.json` (dev)Dependencies ordering. I spent quite a bit of time before figuring this out.
No, that doesn't constitute implicit moral approval. We all understand that platforms and providers can't police each individual user. That's a concern about logistics, not moral consistency.

That said -- there are products that Shopify does (and would) kick a user for selling. Shopify isn't neutral, in fact, they're saying Breitbart is acceptable.

> At a corporate gig you get a paycheck every two weeks like clockwork.

Which country is that? I've only ever heard of monthly salaries for professionals.
I think it depends a lot on the culture of the organization. Currently my team is highly distributed and my local colleages only meet in person in the office about twice a week, with the support from the very top of our BU. In our case, I feel that having my own space that sits empty 5 days out of 7 is highly wasteful. Currently my own desk is spartan: 2 monitors and the necessary cables; that's it.

When working from home becomes the norm, I think change in the office setup is inevitable and I welcome that tradeoff. I would love a modern shared desk setup, as long as all of desks have good monitors to go with them. Heck, group them in pods of 4/8/12 desks and make them bookable just like conference rooms (but for a day).
Making the Leap from a Consulting and Software Agency into Products
There's no reason to me to think that the vast majority of people should see substantial real income gains. Money is fundamentally a claim check on someone else's labor and/or resources. If you have more money (in real terms), you have a greater claim on others' resources. That can't stay true for an entire population over a long period of time. It's temporarily true for the US, because we're able to take advantage of labor from other, cheaper places in the world, in the process, making that other place better off as well.

Those of us in the broad swath from 10th to 99th percentile don't really compete for those things that are purchased by the top 0.01%, so I basically don't care how fast their incomes grow, nor how fast the prices of caviar, ski lodges in Jackson Hole, etc. grow.

I care about food, housing, transportation, and education. In competing for those resources, there's fairly broad equity in the charts in the vox article (realizing that people don't stay static on that chart).
> What makes you so sure about that? What if the context is "I hate scientists...they keep proving me wrong". Is that a show of hatred or a tongue-in-cheek show of respect?

You are correct, I didn't consider this, so there at least two problems with deciding what is hateful: (1) is the expression insincere?, (2) if it is sincere, is the hate justified?

This is of course assuming such a machine can be designed to obtain the correct meaning of words in every case, which I think is impossible or close to it. Language is ambiguous, some languages more than others.
I'd bring my own keyboard and mouse. I'd probably also spend the first few minutes of my day cleaning the screen and the desk. The last thing I want to do is use somebody else's nasty keyboard and stare at fingerprints on the screen.

The office I work in, everybody gets a door. With all the arguments about economics, I think some people don't experience the same value to closing the door and working uninterrupted for three or four hours every day. I'm certain whatever the walls cost here, it's small compared to the productivity gains.
This was a big deal before the rise of the smartphone. No cables. Great video (relatively speaking) even in low-light conditions. Good audio. Simple interface. Inexpensive. I used it for work (online publishing) and my kids loved it, too.

Compared to the Japanese camcorders that required cables, cassettes, and an 80-page manual to figure out, the Flip was a no-brainer for people who just wanted an easy way to shoot video and get it on their computer.

But, as others have noted, what the heck was Cisco thinking? IIRC, the company wanted to push into expensive "telepresence" systems but I don't see how the Flip fit into this vision.

ETA: My pet theory is Cisco corporate strategists or the CEO believed the spin put out by Flip and its investors. Maybe another company was circling, too.
