as long as you are trying to build the next facebook or something similar to facebooks business i dont think you will not have any problem with react, legal at Netflix doesnt have a problem with so I dont see how it will be a problem to regular community. If the hell really broke loose though I would prefer Vue any day, it strips off all the complexity given by Angular/React and makes single page apps simpler. And Easy.
That is a cool website. I would guess the plane is the one labeled FA7X on this site. Looks like it came from Boeing Field, flew out near Newport on the coast, followed the eclipse path just north of Corvallis out to eastern Oregon, and then back to Boeing Field landing around 10:54am Pacific. It was going fast and at high altitude (about 41,000ft and 430 knots), unlike most of the other planes in the area. Its altitude probably explains why it was the only jet creating a visible contrail. If this was the jet, it shows how bad eye witness testimony can be as it flew almost due east over where I was. The site says its a Dassault Falcon 7X; so a bizjet type plane. No tail number like many other planes shown. A quick google did not get me a list of the planes in and out of Boeing Field that day, but I would imagine it's available somewhere.
> One question nobody dares to ask aloud. How many high-danger buildings like the Grenfell Tower ware there?

228, according to the assessment commissioned by the government.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/aug/25/grenfell-fir...

Edit: Now I've read it, there'a actually an answer in the article itself, although it's now superceded by the number above:

> Earlier this month, the government admitted that 181 other high-rise buildings clad in similar material have failed fire safety tests
Is this real?

In his Memoirs, Nixon admitted that the key factor in the decision not to proceed with the nuclear option was that "after all the protests and the Moratorium, American public opinion would be seriously divided by any military escalation of the war."

Then that is concrete proof of nuclear considerations
Well, I'm sort of nearing sixty, and believe me, it does make a difference. Driving at night, especially in heavily lighted and trafficked areas, just isn't as laid back as it used to be. Nor, as noted, is reading light on dark.

Your observations on 255/000 are obviously correct. In fact, I have always preferred light and dark greys to pure white and black in whatever design work I have done.
Hi Peter, thank you for doing this. I am in the process of starting my own company in Norway, and I am planning on applying for YC within next year. I am wondering, if we get accepted, what will be the best way for me to legally start a US company, and work for it in the US for three months? I've heard that H1B will not be possible since there would be employer - employee relationship, so what would be a good option? You did mention O1, but I am afraid I do not qualify since Inam straight out of university.

YC says that they accept 10+ non US companies for each batch, do you know what visa they use while in the US?
fires of aluminum clad buildings like Grenfell or that in Saudi Arabia reminded about Navy ships with aluminum (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Belknap_(CG-26)#Collision.... ) or other light alloy (like Al/Mg on some USSR/Russian destroyers) superstructures - good idea for whatever reason like speed and weight until fire breaks out (galley stove or missile hit, doesn't matter) and the thing goes off like a firework. On the other side - M2 Bradley does have aluminum armor.
See my reply (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15104346) to another comment for a fuller answer, but briefly...

I'm not impugning bootcamps or claiming you should be teaching those concepts. I'm claiming that it takes years of independently exploring and learning concepts to be qualified for this kind of work. Most of the developers I hire and work with have been doing this kind of exploration since they were teenagers, if not before that. By the time Node, Angular or most of the technologies taught in these bootcamps came out, they would be comfortable reading docs and just figuring it out and wouldn't need a bootcamp to teach it to them.

It's an unrealistic expectation to think that people can go from zero to professional in such a short time. I honestly don't care if a junior developer knows those concepts. What I care about is that they know something other than what they were taught in the bootcamp. Show me some independent exploration that you did that wasn't required for the bootcamp which leads me to believe you can do more of it. I can pair a junior up with a more senior developer some of the time, but most of the time they're going to have to flail around and try to figure it out by themselves and I want to know that they can do it based on nothing other than documentation, trial and error rather than needing their hand held.
Aside from the better room scale tracking, the Facebook VR system is better than the Vive (and all other VR systems) on almost all other counts. So I don't understand what you are talking about regarding a quality product.
Programming anything non trivial in OpenGL that is intended to be used on a variety of GPU's in an efficient manner, is a royal pain in the butt. This is because of the black box that opengl provides. This makes things simpler but I'd rather deal with the complexity of the API, rather than "hope and prey" style programming that opengl accepts (encourages).
Sorry to hear that!!! I was a little kid when my grandfather died and for some reason I felt guilty and thought I had abandoned him in his last days. It was such a bad feeling and it still revisits me from time to time.
OT: I've learned in life that such words are often more about the adult child's fear of death and fear of the fading and loss of their parent's help and love, than it is about the father's feelings. I'd love to have seen what Dylan Thomas would have written about it in his declining years.

It's a poem I see quoted far more by the young than by the elderly, and I don't think the young want to hear why.
The english language, and other languages like it, are living. They're not suitable as the final form to publish in. Who knows what language we'll be speaking in a few millennia? It's best to write in a series of emojis, the universal language.

My point is that we've done a pretty good job at archiving and deciphering ancient text so far. There's no reason to think that we won't be able to emulate current CPU architectures (and run virtual machines on them) for a long time. Pseudocode works for algorithms, and it worked for your case, but it doesn't work for the 99% of scientific software with more than a thousand lines. Executable papers are absolutely possible and are currently being created with virtualization/containers. It's just not easy yet.
I disagree that this is a FFI. There's are FFIs for Python, the builtin one is called ctypes, and users know it's an exception to Python's safety. Modules implemented in C++ and presenting functionality to Python programs in a native way are expected to be safe.
The big room scale situations are the only cases in which Vive is better. The VR is smoother on Rift, the apps are better, the headset is more comfortable, the Touch controllers are better, the optics are less blurry to the view extents, the software is much less buggy, etc.
Huh what? You didn't seem lonely or angry to me ever :-)

ps - Thanks!
Mis-applying bad so-called “artificial intelligence” is still a prime example of natural stupidity.
There is a bunch of options being explored for shorter and longer term energy storage.

One example i ran into recently were concrete blocks that would be heated during periods of excess production, and then the heat converted back into electricity during slumps.

Never mind that smarter, nation wide, grids can allow electricity to flow in either direction depending on where the production and need is.
Protests speak, but so does money, and since citizens united, it speaks louder them ever before, drowning it the relative whisper of the people.

Doesn't ACH stand for Automated Clearing House? Which part of the process has yet to be automated? Clearly it is poorly named if it isn't fully automated which seems to be the case. It is possible that it is fully automated but because money is important, you need maintenance staff to be available to correct any mistakes.
Anything that involves a massive amount of independent floating point computations can easily be offloaded to the GPU. It is more complicated, when each floating point computation depends on the result of other floating point computations because it is not easy to tell the GPU about the floating point computation's relationship with one another. And this cannot be done, without slowdown, on the CPU.
Cool! I've sent you a DM on Twitter.
When I hear this question, my answer is: Imagine the world without the protests. Imagine if nobody protested Trump's actions, or Putin's. Imagine if something horrible happened and nobody responded, they just went about their days. Imagine the terrible, demoralizing, crushing silence.

Protests are a public service message that what is happening is not ok with your neighbors; that it matters to them. That's why I encourage people to show up, even if it seems pointless; each additional body matters: 10 people is still better than none; 100 better than 10; 1,000 better than 100, etc. Silence = consent.
Only a hipster snowflake's magazine could put such question in a headline.

A crowd is a major hardwired social heuristic. When someone sees a crowd of protestors or supporters almost automatic mental processes of estimating it's size and more importantly of taking a side wether one is with it or against it are triggered. It also forms a emotionally charged long lasting memory - a hostile crowd is a major life threat. Crowd of supporters is associated with protection and change. This is freshman's social psychology 101.

Number of likes, BTW, and numbers related to social events in general works in the same way. Social heuristics are hardwired and hence easily exploited by media or sales departments. The best strategy is to convince a potential buyer that there is a presumed crowd of enthusiastic buyers behind him. Tesla is the obviously example.

Crowd of protesters is a major concern even for Trump.
Our constitution forbids extradition of citizens to foreign countries.

Never mind that diesel engines, used in most heavy machinery, is not as picky about its fuel as a gasoline engine is. As long as it goes bang under pressure, a diesel engine can potentially run on it. what is not needed is to electrify anything, but that CO2 in vs CO2 out sums to zero (or a lot damn closer to it than it currently does).
Nice Sharing, It was very informative for me. keep it up.

What's worked recently in the US in protesting? Gay marriage succeeded, transgender rights backfired, some local success on $15 minimum wage. The Bundy Malheur takeover fizzled out. Big wins on gun rights. Any visible pattern?
Protests are a consequence of a democracy that isn't.

If people had power, they would cast votes (on laws or representatives) instead of wasting their precious time walking around with little to no observable effect.

This is the real secret sauce for Vive, and it's completely designed and owned by Valve. Combined with their lackluster new phone, I think the future is pretty grim for HTC.

Does more scientists actually help? Maybe in some of these examples, the science is bottlenecked by significant diminishing returns.
One might argue that gay marriage succeeded because it is good for the economy. All gays I know are incredibly smart, savvy and professionally successful. They worked for many years and became a financial and political force, not to mention they succeeded in getting people to like them and empathize with their cause.
This has nothing to do with ideas. The site was used as a dumping ground for letters claiming responsibility^1, doxxing of right wing activists, calls for violent protest and so on. The whole thing is a little bit odd because in the past, this kind of prosecution has been targeted way bigger threats: Jihadists, Biker Gangs, paramilitary Nazi groups and stuff like that.

What do you mean is it real? Of course skepticism is real as it should be for all claims about history. The author tells us what Nixon is admitting and to do so uses an out of context quote which at best suggests escalation. That's a low standard for concrete proof.

Actually having pulled up that section of the memoirs, "escalation" is used repeatedly. The nuclear option is never even mentioned (though whether Nixon avoids mentioning this is something else entirely). Furthermore, the author doesn't just assert that Nixon considered nuclear weapons, they assert they are directly responsible for avoiding a nuclear war. Maybe a bit too self-congratulatory and subjective:

What would have been the world’s second nuclear war was averted by our action, though we couldn’t have known it at the time...

In addition, away from the public eye, Nixon’s negotiation strategy in 1969 consisted primarily of a threat to North Vietnam that if they did not become more conciliatory at the peace table, he would unleash the full fury of American power as they had never seen it. Their deadline was 1 November 1969. Consistent with this, Nixon considered escalating the war in various ways in a proposed assault known as Operation Duck Hook. According to historian Marilyn Young, Duck Hook “explored a new range of options [intended to end the war], including a land invasion of the North, the systematic bombing of dikes so as to destroy the food supply, and the saturation bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong.”

Huh, that does sound like non-nuclear escalation.
Well no, because you still need to convince the majority to your opinion... your single individual vote is still meaningless on the macro scale
On a small scale, this election seemed to make a significant fraction of people more able to identify with what they actually believe, rather than in terms of what they oppose. And I think that will have a lot of value, long term, for political discourse.

Now, I can say with some confidence that I’m a left-wing libertarian. Before this shitshow, I don’t think I was really politically aware enough to be able to identify as anything but “anti-Republican”.

Another reason the IOS is a truly terrible concept. There is no need to have a toothbrush or car wash connected to a global network.
In the case here, the lawless actions have repeatedly been demonstrated; and the speech promoting them isn't vague in the least.

I agree that there should be some limits on what can be censored (although really, I'm not sure this is even traditional censorship, since it's after-the-fact and doesn't extend to all channels the message is posted on). It's more like tearing down a gang stronghold - it's not necessarily going to prevent any individual gang member from doing what they did before, but it might disrupt the negative feedback loop that encourages "lawless action". Notably the government's court argument rests critically on this being an association; so there is some check on this power. It cannot with the same argument prevent the individuals from making the same suggestions.

Regardless: I definitely value free speech. I just think we should be open to consider exactly which limits are useful, and which are not.

I for one believe the chilling effects of this kind of action are much smaller and less dangerous than the chilling effects caused by libel, fraud and copyright laws, especially as they pertain to corporations - a concept that didn't even exist (in its modern form) when the US constitution was drafted.

If you will: any organisation can hold power; not just government. The point of freedom of speech should not be to protect us (and ironically itself!) from government; but from its power - and if so, why limit that to governmental power?

I see free speech and democracy as a kind of way or protecting society from local minima: a reality check to ensure we break out of nasty patterns. I'm not sure it's working very well with respect to large "private" entities. I'm not saying it's failed either; I'm just a little worried ;-). Liberal democracy has had a long time to rest on its laurels. Perhaps we take it for granted a little too much, and thus aren't vigilant enough to competitors and internal weaknesses.

In any case: thanks for the unexpectedly gracious reply in the face of my somewhat peeved response ;-).

A question for D&D players and dungeon masters: How can a dungeon master possibly do their job?

They have to write every character (besides the the players' own characters), including personality, knowledge, skills, intellect, emotional state, motivations, relationships, etc. They have to understand what a medieval blacksmith, farmer, soldier, barmaid, princess, etc. all understand. They are supposed to create whole towns, which requires some knowledge of politics, economics and a host of other issues. It's an effort worthy of a major novel or movie, and in fact it seems far more: Because it's non-linear, you never know which person your players will run into or which building they will walk into, so you would need to prepare, it seems, far more people and settings than are used.

On top of that, the dungeon master has to act all these characters, a one-person show that would overwhelm the greatest professional actors (and win every acting award if they pulled it off). Even more, because of the non-linear story and the chaos player decisions introduce, the dungeon master must improvise constantly and in a way that is consistent with the ongoing story and all the other characters they have portrayed and will portray.

Who has the time? It sounds like years of work. And even more incredibly, who has the skill (nobody who ever lived)? Yet it's done, and done well enough that millions enjoy it. How is this all done in reality?

Let's make .NET hip again... Rise4fun, f# and yes, f* are seriously cool. For any self professed language freak. The framework is robust, fast and now available everywhere. I write and compile large projects on Linux and working on a tool chain to compile iOS Xamarin on Linux.

It is very nice. And Bridge.Net is very mature as well; all our core libraries compile with only a few injects and it is not too big either compared to what I see most people doing online.

I do a lot of JS because legacy but it really hurts when you have such nice languages and tools.
