>Isn't being more expensive part of the problem?

It is a big part of the problem when Uber is using VC money to subsidize part of the trip and when Uber isn't following safety/training/insurance regulations.

People are funny about that. They will bitch and moan about how expensive something is, but the second something goes wrong they want more safety features and regulation, in spite of the cost increase it will bring.
Not sure why you're voted down. I personally really enjoy an occasional ride around a few blocks just to clear my mind, get some fresh air and come back relaxed. Working from home, especially with a toddler around, can be taxing in novel ways.
It's not as opinioned as you think. All of the reasons you listed for disliking are just one way of writing it in vue. If you love jsx and pure javascript you can use them as well.

I learned react before vue and found it great compared to angular but lately I've been using vue. It is quickier and neater with the bizzare syntax and lighter overall.

With the latest release I have the urge to go back.
Really excited about Portals. I work on a web app which was originally built with Spine.js (an MVC framework similar to Backbone). We've long moved on to React and Redux but have a few old views that have yet to be ported over. Portals seems like a nice way to refactor by incrementally replacing controller + template logic with components.

I'm also glad to see the switch to MIT license if only to put this patents controversy behind us. Now curious to see what happens with GraphQL...
Imagine interviewing at Apple. "Can you bring us an extra $2 million/year in revenue? No? Then go away."
We used it because it produces a single flat bundle without extra module boundaries. I think webpack 3 might do the same with the experimental concatenation plugin, but we're fairly happy with Rollup.
> The adverts in some countries telling you not to take unlicensed taxis are not there for fun.

Yes, and the adverts in most safe developed countries telling you this are overwhelmingly about defending a local cartel. The ubiquity of them tells you that "regulations are mostly about safety" is just not something you can assume. You have to actually check to see if they're justified.

> It's really not that hard to bike safely.

I have to disagree. Depending on the infrastructure and drivers you face, staying uninjured as a city cyclist is as much luck as skill.

In many places, you can do everything mentioned and still get in accidents, or the things you mention are impossible.
You could see it the other way around too. Everything can be turned into an engineering problem, but sometimes that's very inefficient: for instance, instead of using trash cans for garbage disposal we could all just litter the streets (and why not, any other environment) and have robots cleaning everything everywhere 24/7...
I am well aware of the construction of our Federal system with its separation of powers, its system of states and their boundaries. I'm also aware of the jurisdictional boundary of the Eastern District which you can view here:

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cjdbkic2WPI/WDSjakCZpNI/AAAAAAAAd...

Yeah, this is a Texas thing and in particular it's an East Texas thing. Texans enabled, participated and benefited from this and if you need that spelled out, I'll call it corruption.

Of course Federal judges are Federal and moreover they get life tenure. So this guy isn't going away. But his patent mud farm is.
It's possible in the future, but re-licensing React itself was already a very large change, and it will take more time to review the possibility of this for other projects like RN. Thanks for your patience!

Well, don't scoff at wearable electronics just because they're mostly LEDs and NFC chips right now. If we can figure out how to make something both stretchy and conductive, there's a lot of practical opportunity.

What if your knee/elbow/wrist/etc brace had a small alarm to go off when you start to overextend it during recovery? What if your jacket had a button to quickly mark precise GPS spots in the field for later follow-up inspections? What if your shirt could adaptively nag people about their posture during the 4 hours they spend seated every day? Heck, you could cobble the GPS jacket together today with off-the-shelf parts; it'd just look strange and probably be fragile/uncomfortable to wear.

As for self-driving cars not involving 'real people and problems,' I just don't understand what you mean by that; could you elaborate?

Nope! I'm a software engineer, but I understand the economics. If companies can get better code from overseas, then they are welcome to do so. I also understand that most of my value comes not from the code I write, but from being able to talk about the code in native english, and to offer trade-offs to product-owners, and to coordinate effectively with my engineering coworkers. Communication takes less than half of my time, but it is half the job.

If I am writing the same code as someone in the 3rd world, I do not deserve to be paid more simply because I'm American. That is arrogance.
Buzzfeed does have a general reputation for accuracy; their not a propaganda outlet.

I'm fine with raising questions, but we can question everything on that level - nothing is certain. Long, involved scientific studies still have enough flaws and uncertainties to fill many HN threads. Some uncertainty doesn't wipe out all credibility.

Anonymous sources are essential to critical public information; Woodward and Bernstein never revealed their source - should the Washington Post never have published the articles?

That statement has less credibility than the article's, though at least it's acknowledged that it's a guess.
This is all a bit naive, OP is not up to speed with the state of the art. This looks like any number of student projects that are created every semester.

The best thing about this is that it looks like OP prototyped and released v1 for sale in under a month. That's respectable.

Years ago in Oslo the police and the national broadcaster (NRK) set up and experiment where they would radar the bikers coming down a small bike road incline.

The fastest they clocked were nearly 80kmh. If you go that fast on motorcycle you are expected to wear a massive helmet and suit, yet the person likely did it wearing spandex and a bike helmet (if that).

now that speed was highly unlikely to be maintained, but do not underestimate the kinds of speeds a bicycle can get up to under the proper circumstances.
At least in the US, I view any addiction treatment center that would pay for leads as useless.

Barring the few clinics that are run by charitible organizations, they all follow the same pattern.

Your treatment plan always happens to be equal to the amount that your insurance will pay for, or that you can pay out of pocket. Several hundred dollars per day, at a minimum.

That means that for all but the rich, it's a 2 week stay, which isn't going to do anything useful.

Tldr: If the clinic can afford to pay ppc advertising to get patients, they aren't really helping anyone.

That's like your opinion man. Seriously, if you feel more safe in a regular taxi, just don't use Uber and leave the rest of us poor people alone. Your help is not welcome.

Also, I think you are incredibly naive to think that the training is mainly there to "help" drivers.
Are the affected people limited to the US? I know Equifax exists as a brand elsewhere, but I'm not sure how they are structured/which parts of the business the breach affected.

If I'm building a site where SEO is paramount, am I safe using React and SSR? I'd kinda like to, but my inclination is to stick with a traditional server page approach.
Been using Developer Edition for a few months now. A few hiccups here and there, but overall running well! It's cool to see performance gains with each update, really speaks to how much work the Firefox team has been putting in lately.
This really isn't true. It can make sense to have fewer safety requirements on people who do an activity less even when that means their their hourly accident rate is higher. Said another way, safety training is a better investment when someone is going to be performing an activity a lot.
Waiting at red lights _can_ be more dangerous than not waiting. Ask motorcyclists how they feel about being the lone vehicle at a redlight.
Like a kid taking his toys home because you won't play his game. I would love to see some sort of framework that facilitates ride sharing without it being attached to a single company.
Sure. I am well aware of these differences. They are basically two different implementations of the same idea with two communities that do things slightly differently.

What I fail to see is how I would choose one over the other for different types of projects. To me, it's a choice a person or a team makes for all projects at once. Jumping back and forth between stacks here would be a lot like jumping back and forth between Django and Ruby on Rails. They aim to solve the same thing, and if you can use one effectively then why would you reach for the other?
The scariest part here is that surgeons are concerned with being "marketing experts". Single payer.

> why would it make people switch back to FF? because it's 1% faster than chrome?

General responsiveness is definitely something I consider when choosing any tool. 1%? I don't think that's a real number. It can be much faster, especially since this is just one of many-to-come improvements.

When you have lots of tabs open, lots of extensions, etc, pages can actually be quite slow to render. As webpages become more complex (I'm thinking about my company's web-app product) or as we start leveraging renderers for more than just web content, performance is more important.

Beyond that, given mobile devices low memory usage, strong energy requirements, and insane popularity, it makes sense to care about how well we utilize resources in our applications.

> FF had its selling point to power users which is why i'm currently browsing from ff.

"Power users" like to believe this, and they're certainly the loudest, but I don't think it's true. Most people are not power users, and I think it stands to reason that most Firefox users are not "power users". Many are just regular people using their browser to get to Facebook, a site that loads a huge a mount of content. Things like "I visited a website and got hacked, I hate firefox now" or "Ugh firefox hung on facebook" or "ugh instagram is taking forever to load" matter a lot to these users.

> Now there is no reason at all to use it.

Well, performance is one reason. Security could easily be another - as Firefox moves to a memory safe language we can expect to see lower critical bug rates. I know for a lot of the older people whose computers I've set up "I don't want to get viruses" is a huge ask from them. So moving your renderer to a memory safe language is a nice win there.

Most users extensions are likely to continue to work with the new Firefox. Maybe not the 'power users', who almost by definition are a minority, but most.
Yes, which has always been a waste of resources, and is obviously a waste of resources given that the requirements haven't changed since GPS and Google maps became available. It's a textbook example of regulatory capture.
> because it's 1% faster than chrome?

It isn't though. There are still some pages in the video where Chrome wins.

So you're right: Really no reason for me to keep using Firefox besides the privacy / morally one.
Not sure if parent means this, but Vivaldi can do vertical tabs. But no idea if that is as powerful/flexible as Tree Style Tabs on Firefox. Probably not...
Milwaukee Ave I guess? Yea as someone who bikes everywhere in Chicago, I hate going down Milwaukee on a bike too (partly because of all the bikers, definitely the pedestrians and cabs, partly the cars on a relatively narrow strip). At peak times Elston is faster and less stressful for a trip of decent distance anyway.

While we're complaining though, cars need to use their effing turn signals. I always check the signal as I pass through a line of cars at an intersection to let them get over in front me, but usually they'll just cut me off. So far no real issues, but I do have a policy of slapping the car hard as I can as I jerk around it. They're still full enough of that weird baseline road rage/driver anger to cuss at me rather than apologize though. (For those who don't live in Chicago, we have bike lanes on most main streets now, and my complaint is about cars turning into bike lanes without warning...)
I think we would still be getting these hurricanes because a) they are likely strengthened by the temperature changes but not created and b) neither of those protocols would have actually affected the temperature by any significant amount by now.

We have to be careful with what we say and how we say it - advocates for action on climate change need to be accurate most of the time, climate deniers only need to sow doubt by latching onto mistakes we make and using that the try and cast doubt on everything we say.

I can echo the "sorry from the USA" sentiment though, I'm very embarrassed by our actions.
A naturalized citizen can't be stripped of their citizenship unless it's clear they lied on their citizenship applications in a material way (like they were part of a terrorist group and wouldn't have been eligible for citizenship). I think this is the context that USCIS is working within.
I'd be very interested in hearing you explain the economics in your own words.

Anyone else think the name of the product simply can't be beaten? It's perfect.
Wire size. Your projects specific needs. Built out time (i.e making your own components). DOM requirements. Licensing. Community. etc. This is an enormous list of variables to determine. If you were not making a complex site or SPA, learning and using React could be huge overkill even though it could still get the job done. The best way to determine what framework or language to use, for me has always been to assemble my tree of needs first. That included things like, how complex are we talking here. Do we need state management? Do we do most of our rendering server side? Do I have to learn the framework? Are the docs good? Etc. Build a map of our own needs first, then spend a few hrs holding it up to the various options.
It shouldn't be Firefox's only selling point though.

Why not express that with… ehm… proper types?!? You know… like those used by Flow or TypeScript.
SEO-wise there's no difference other than performance. But it was possible to build high-performance SSR sites with React 15, and with React 16 it's even easier.

The more important thing to decide is whether the development model of React is suitable for your needs.
At the Toronto Airport, Uber rides from the terminal into the city are upwards of $60. But take an AirTrain one stop to a hotel and it drops to $25. I think we need government regulations, but just like pure unfettered capitalism, it works in some markets, in some ways, but fails miserably in others.
Same here. While I do see a place for previous-gen graphics engines out there for the nearest time being, the provided justification does not sound too convincing.

Vulkan/DX12/Metal make more sense in many ways, not just to draw thousands of different objects. For one, they allow explicit control on the memory transfers and synchronization, which leads to less performance hitches and and spikes, more predictable and stable framerate.
Already done, mentioned that here too just in case :)

Launch HN: PlatoHQ (YC W16) – Mentorship for Engineers
Hi HN!

We are the cofounders of PlatoHQ (https://www.platohq.com) and we come from an Engineering Background.

After having graduated from college, with two of my engineers friends, we decided to build our own company (the name of our company was Birdly). We made a lot of mistakes along the way; and one of the biggest was to hire too soon a bunch of engineers. We were all three technical cofounders so we could have built the MVP ourselves. But instead of that, we decided that two cofounders over three would do the “Product management” and “Marketing", and that we should hire 3 engineers (including 2 interns) to code the product for us. That was before YC. YC could have prevented us from making that mistake. And this had been our worst mistake.

We transitioned from “Individual Contributor” to “Engineering Managers”. We happened to spend more time doing “management” than building the product and optimizing for product-market fit. We were doing the rookie mistakes most first-time engineering managers do.

Among some rookie mistakes:
- We hired our engineers focusing only on their technical capabilities
- We didn’t make one-on-ones, but rather two-on-ones, and we focused on performance and operational
- We micromanaged them, and even time-boxed them sometimes
- And many more mistakes…

But at the time, those mistakes were unknown unknowns. In other words, we didn’t even know we were doing the bad things.

We don’t all need to do all those mistakes, or at least, when we do, we should know it, figure it out and fix it.

That’s why we’re building Plato, a platform to find your perfect mentor to help you become a better Engineering Leader.

Mentors of the community come from top tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Lyft, Slack, Trello, Netflix, Spotify, Digital Ocean, Segment, Uber… They want to help you avoid the common pitfalls they learned the hard way.
Among our mentors, we have the
- First Engineer at Box (Going from 10 to 1200 employees),
- the VP Engineering at Lyft (and founder of Google Street View),
- Cofounder of Pagerduty,
- VP Engineering at Segment,
- Director of Engineering at Box,
- CTO/Cofounder of Jive Software…
- And more...
It's real, you can really talk to them and receive advice.

Mentors are not paid that is why we can provide an affordable price of $199 per month for an access to all the mentors and an unlimited number of calls with them. Mentors do this for other incentives, happy to discuss more if you're interested.

Also, I know many of you already have learned the hard way many lessons like us. I’m sure many of you would be amazing mentors. Feel free to let us know if you want to become a mentor. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to become a mentor.

Looking forward to having your feedback on our new product,
Thanks, HN community!
It includes naturalized citizens.
I just loaded up Netscape 9 (the oldest one I could get to run without too much digging) and while it is quite quick for average pages, a stress test like jsfiddle.net/4dpGz froze it up for several minutes. (It also doesn't render correctly, but I think that's a separate issue.) FF57beta finished in 10 seconds. Firefox 0.6 just says "connection refused" to most sites, so that's pretty fast :p
We are in the same position, except with backbone instead of spine. Nice idea for a use case of portals.
Not directly comparable, but I've known economists who have a far better understanding of security risks than some computer scientists who have received teaching in the area.
