> JS ecosystem has great code editors.

I'm with you on most of your points, but IDE support is still quite crude compared to (say) Java or Kotlin. Once you're fluent with these in a Jetbrains IDE it feels like you're directly manipulating an AST (or something near it) rather than 'editing text'. Javascript (even with Typescript in IDEA/Webstorm) isn't close to this yet.

Headline of this evening's South China Morning Post: How China Quietly Grew Into a Cannabis Superpower

http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2108347/green...

Article states that more than half of the 600 patents related to cannabis are held in China. Unclear if they relate to industrial hemp or medicinal uses.

The race to get coveted FDA approval is even more heated. If GW Pharmaceuticals' stock price is any indication, it may be first out the gate with its CBD-based epilepsy treatment, Epidiolex.

That's exactly why it's milk actually. Just like coconut milk, which has existed forever, milk of magnesia which has existed since 1875, and soy milk which has been widely consumed since the 1800s.

Oat milk is not milk. But it's milk. English has no problem with that. Pizza pie is not pie. Boot camp is not camp. A house boat is not a boat. We understand each other just fine. You add a word to another word and you get a third word that's unique from both of its parts.

However, there is a method to "detect" it in other systems, to wit: merging. Two or more conscious systems can voluntarily merge, creating a new conscious entity partaking of but greater than its members.

Sounds like woo-woo. Have any research on this?
> the ability to write multiplication naturally

That syntax doesn't work along with using parentheses for function application unless you do something like making the parser context-sensitive (so function followed by '(' means application but value followed by '(' means multiplication) or treat whitespace as significant (so "f(x+1)" is application but "f (x+1)" is multiplication). This is why Mathematica does Sin[22] instead of Sin(22).

(It used to be that (a,b) in Mathematica was shorthand for Sequence[a,b], which led to silly bugs like accidentally writing f(a,b) instead of f[a,b], giving you Times[f,a,b] instead. This is just to illustrate why it is not obvious to make it so that juxtaposition is multiplication.)

> Rendering maths as you type it has been there in Mathematica, etc. forever.

I know you can type superscripts, subscripts, fractions, etc. using shortcuts. If you meant "as you type it" as in Mathematica will reformat what you type in more traditional notation as you type it, then I am wondering where you can enable that.

I'm sure on the level where it counts these wristwatch makers/designers are rewarded for achieving their goal in the least complex way.

In the same way, when viewed at from a high enough level, developers are generally paid more as the systems they work on get more complex
Given that a modern smartwatch has on the order of millions of times as many components, arranged very close to the theoretical physical limits of the materials, I don't know how any watchmaker could compete with a silicon lithographer on complexity.

Aside: I don't really care for either smartwatches or complex mechanical watches. I want my wristwatch to tell time, and all else being equal, to look good on my skin along with clothing I wear. To me, complexity should drive function and performance, and on that front, nothing competes with a quartz watch with a standard battery (or solid electromechanical drive) in a hand-opening case.
BGP would theoretically be possible, but it's not practical for several reasons including:

Generally BGP minimum prefix is /24, using 256 ips for one phone (+1 for each connection) isn't very efficient

If everyone did it, global routing tables would be really huge.

BGP is generally used across connections intended to be permanent, but phones often have intermittent connections, so there would be a lot more route changes than normal.

I'm guessing you wouldn't want or be able to really handle a full routing table, but BGP routing policy choices might not really be what you want.

Something like MultiPath TCP is a better fit for mobile devices with multiple ips. (The next revision of iOS should make it available for apps, they've been using it for Siri for a while)

I worked in a wine shop for a while years ago. Occasional drinkers would always come in wanting French wine, but after trying Argentine malbecs or even American reds like those produced by Dave Phinney or say, K Syrah, would always prefer those over the few French wines they had tried.

Granted, this is all anecdotal, and I have had some great French wines (love that they are biodynamic as well for the most part), but to my eyes the wine market is really broadening. French wines just may not hold the mystique they once did.

I was arguing against the author's assertions that:

1) Euclidean geometry is a plane (though, on re-reading, she said that a plane is pure Euclidean geometry). So, to be fair to the author, that may well be me over-reading her statement (could be "within", rather than "equal to").

2) That Burberry's dress on Ruby Rose for the 2017 Met Gala somehow meaningfully steps outside of Euclidean geometry for it's execution. It's a layered skirt composed of rectangular-ish cuts. Any apparent colinearity stems from the center-start of each panel and vertical alignment (aided, visually, by the aspect ratio of the panels).

Maybe the ruching around the body? I don't see it, and to hang an argument for involvement of a field on the particulars of that dress is pretty baffling.

The best I could suggest is that any dress could be called non-euclidean when cut from planar fabric due to the (general) requirement that a dress be at least a genus one manifold (or a public indecency ticket). I don't see anything in Ruby Rose's dress that implies any meaningful departure from or special knowledge of euclidean to non-euclidean considerations.

I think Expedia was hoping the hotel industry would modernize and consolidate way faster than it actually did (remember, this was the gogo 90s where the entire world was hopping onto the information superhighway). What they eventually discovered was that it's hard to underestimate just how much hoteliers hate technology, even when you take into account this effect.

Little known fact: Expedia was actually close to buying out Booking.com and switching them over to an merchant model buy Booking.com got cold feet and got bought by Priceline for a pittance just a few years later. If Expedia had owned the biggest merchant provider in the US + Europe, there's a fair chance today no agency competitor could have stood up against them and the entire world would be still on the merchant model.

When a mass evacuation of Houston occurred due to Hurricane Rita, 107 people died from the conditions caused by the mass evacuation. The conditions on the roads were very very poor for those following your suggested advice of "heeding the warnings". The storm in the end was not as big of an event as it was made out to be.

I disagree - tornadoes generally come with many warnings by metrologists and often tornado sirens. Earthquakes come with a split second rumble if you're lucky.

I've experienced earthquakes, cyclones/hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfire, flooding, blizzards, and all kinds of severe weather - they're all awful in their own way but being caught in a tornado outbreak (30 in 90mins, some over a mile wide) was by far the worst I've experienced - sheltering for hours while sirens scream, drains howl as tornadoes go past, and the roof peels off is up there with the helplessness of being stuck in a violently shaking building for a few minutes (I've experienced a few 7+ shakes and also lost friends and family to earthquakes that destroyed my home town so know how intense that can be).

> Even if you don't have a license you're allowed to transmit in emergency situations.

True, but I'd say get a license anyway so that you can at least practice live with the radio before an emergency.

All that is needed for 2 meters in the US is a Technician class ham license, which requires getting 26 questions right on a 35 question multiple choice exam.

I'm confident that most people on HN could learn enough to pass in a weekend of casual preparation, assuming they have had high school physics or equivalent.

The test is divided into several subsections, with only a handful of questions from each subsection, so even if you are weak on some particular area the impact is limited.

The question pool is available to the public and there are excellent apps and websites that will drill you with the actual questions. After a weekend of that many people find that they have accidentally memorized the answers.

There are no FCC fees for the test or license. Third parties actually conduct the test, and they are allowed to charge. The largest organization giving tests, the ARRL, charges $15 I believe. There are smaller groups that don't cover the whole US that are cheaper, or even free.

The license is good for 10 years, renewal is free, and does not require any additional testing. (The only time you need additional testing is to upgrade to a higher class of license, which gives you access to more frequency bands and/or more power and/or more operating modes).

You can get a handheld 2 meter transceiver for $30ish.

So...under $50 to get licensed AND get a radio!

(Of course you CAN spend a lot more on a radio if you wish. I have a Kenwood handheld that transmits on 2 meters, 1.5 meters, and 70 cm, and can receive everything from 10 KHz to 1.3 GHz minus cell phone frequencies, and can receive on two frequencies at once. It was around $300).

Two recommendations for those who decide to do this:

1. Before you apply for a license create an account at the FCC site. That will assign you an FCC ID number, which you can give to the testing organization when you take the test.

If you don't have an FCC ID number you have to give the testing organization your Social Security number.

2. Once you have your license, people can look you up by call sign at the FCC site. The information available includes your name and address. If you don't want your home address published that way, you can register with a PO box.

He honestly lost me when he said he couldn't understand how this works in JavaScript.

Also, what is meant by Google scale? Do real people really go around choosing a language for a project thinking "gee, if I ever get to the size of Google I'll sure be glad I choose BuckleScript!"

Also, what is meant by an optimizing compiler? The optimizations are done by V8. Any possible pure language optimization you could be doing likely isn't worth it at all.

It's also not correct to say there's no JS legacy. There will be a legacy the first time you need to look at any of the generated JavaScript code.

Next, who wants to build a code base using a language that's hard to learn and come up to speed in? If the entire point is net productivity, you better be able to offset all that upfront costs by demonstrative gains elsewhere. Of course, no one will ever measure stuff like it and it will be very subjective and vary per person.
