That's not what happened at all. The US Government didn't step in to assure the student loans of poor people. The US Government backed student loans for everyone, on a perpetually increasing basis.

You fail to address the most obvious problem with your claims:

How college costs were able to skyrocket in complete disregard to the ability to repay those loans. The lack of the ability to pay back a loan is a normal check against irresponsible lending, unless you have a printing press backing said loans and can afford to disregard defaults. The lack of responsible lending, courtesy of the US Government, is what enabled the universities to perpetually raise their costs against the lack of any economic restraints. You fail to recognize the broken core to the system: there were no cost inflation restraints, because the US Government made it possible for there to be none.

The fundamental you aren't dealing with, is what enabled the cost inflation to be so extreme, radically beyond any reasonable standards of lending or potential to repay.

The lack of a free market in education is precisely what caused the hyper cost inflation. The US Government created a system of lending backed by its ability to print dollars, which stands completely apart from normal economic reality.

Another hint: guess who is making nearly all the money off the student loans? Yep, the US Government. They're yielding tens of billions per year in interest profit, courtesy of their ability to magically make dollars appear and to put an entire generation into vast debt. The US Govt is earning about 20 times what the private sector is making off of student loans.

Kubernetes absolutely does not force you to use the docker runtime. In fact, there has been a lot of work to avoid this by creating the CRI[0].

Kubernetes also supports extensions like the Third Party Resource or their successor, Custom Resource Definitions. KubeVirt[1] is an example of extending resources to include VMs

Gosh if we can't even agree on what kind of echo chamber we're in, how will we ever manage to make convincing fallacious arguments?

I think the echo chamber AT spoke of was not HN. The point is that in the US there are a plethora of options for low cost high quality educations/degrees which absolutely can help you earn a very decent living. They may not be famous name-brand cliques which guarantee a plush job right after graduating, but it is a fundamental pillar of Americanism that opportunity is there for those willing to put in the time.

This is probably just me and feel free to disregard if this sounds silly, but I really wish miss the getting started guide from a few years ago that (iirc) had you drop an include statement in and go.

I feel like React expects me to have a deep knowledge of JS build tooling when all I care about getting started is building a page locally that works and does cool things.

FWIW this is how Vue's tutorial starts - and another really nice thing they do is teach you the API by entering things into your console on their tutorial page full of components.

I don't really know if this is constructive or useful, I hope it is - I just feel like React expects a lot of new users in a way it didn't used to.

It's an irony that IBM failed to capitalise the hype of Data science.

They're in it to have a good life. To some extent that enjoyment can come from serving patients, but they would also like to have a good life at home. Is it so much to ask that people who spend all day saving and improving lives (yes, for pay) should be paid pretty well relative to the supply?

In any walk of life in a capital system, your pay is determined by how you serve people. Doctors serve the very basis of their patients' lives.

If you can put a price on that, it should be pretty darn high.
How do you justify this blanket statement?

Because talented engineers don't want to work on the typical things that get outsourced, such as maintenance of legacy applications, helpdesks, implementation of dull ERP projects and so on. Therefore on average the quality of programmer at an outsourcing company is lower than at a real product company, and this would be the same at any outsourcing company in any country. It just so happens that some locations are cheap enough to make hiring large numbers of low quality engineers seem more attractive than fewer, high quality engineers payed sufficient salaries to attract them.
I've used React occasionally for a couple of years. I just blasted through the tutorial in 10 minutes to refresh my knowledge and check if any best practices changed in the last year or so. It was perfect for this.
I live in Minneapolis, which regularly wins awards for US bike infra. I used to cycle to work. It was great in some ways, but I never felt safe because even with the supposedly great bike infra we have, drivers were a problem. In fact I felt safer on my motorcycle, which shouldn't be the case.

"Car culture" generally brings out the same primate programming you see in the "comments section". There's a level of pseudo-anonymity that brings out the aggressive asshole in all of us and make it unsafe for the most vulnerable.

I believe only dedicated bike infra is the way to solve this in the US. Dedicated bike infra is a fraction of the cost of car infra.
> The most anti-communist places you'll find are in Eastern Europe

I'm not totally sure that's still true. It might be. But I think a lot of people are now nostalgic for communism after living what is apparently the alternative for them.

The most anti-communist people I know, though, are definitely some people in _the U.S._ from Eastern European countries, who moved here before or shortly after the end of communism. (I also know some people in the U.S. from Russia especially who are not particularly anti-communist. Russia definitely had it better than most other soviet bloc). (Also, the very poor seldom get to immigrate to the U.S. from Eastern Europe either before or after communism, immigrants are not a representative sample. Although I knew a lot of poor-ish undocumented immigrant Poles in Chicago in the late 90s. They weren't particularly anti-communist by and large.)

But yeah, the grass is often greener, as they say.

> The very fact that we are talking about student loans, inflation, destroying the dollar and income (wage-labour) means that we are talking about capitalism

We're talking about government abuse of and intervention into a former Capitalist economy (which is now a heavily regulated, heavily taxed mixed economy). The US isn't even remotely close to being a free market system and hasn't been for decades. One quick check at the regulation count, the taxation system, the government involvement in every industry and segment, easily makes that point (further, take a look at the expansion of those things over the last 50 years). Where's the free market part?
It's telling that some people believe that:

(a) elevating a Hollywood comedy into some sort of social study / prophecy status is "smart",

(b) calling the majority of people on earth idiots (which the parent did) is also OK,

but that only "idiots" would call them out for doing so.
Looked at the story. Not clear what they are talking about.
Exactly, and as a European I'd like to caution that this article plays into the "oooh communism isn't so great now is it" mentality that is prevalent in the US due to the cold war.

Let's separate the principles of a system of government with how it's been implemented, there's still a good discussion to be had on individualism vs society and the tradeoffs when forming governmental structures.

I think you might be mistaken. `React.createClass` always did autobinding, and it still does. The ES6 classes (which the tutorial now uses) never supported autobinding.

React documentation switched from `React.createClass` to ES6 classes because they community already did at that point, and wanted to see the more "mainstream" pattern documented. I'm sorry it wasn't obvious that there is a difference between the function call and the language syntax, but it's definitely not a change in React.

The tutorial you mention works fine because `onClick={() => this.handleClick(i)}` is an alternative way to bind methods that also works. That's what the tutorial uses because it's easier to explain React first without diving into how `this` works in ES6 classes. And you can run that code and verify it works. (Every step of the tutorial has a link with a code example.) So no, it has not been broken for a year.

We also did blog about ES6 class support: https://reactjs.org/blog/2015/01/27/react-v0.13.0-beta-1.htm...

And autobinding of `React.createClass` (which you can still use—it's just in a separate package) is also still documented: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-without-es6.html

That said I'm sorry about your bad experience.

If people think supersonic jets are loud, they’re in for a treat with rockets. Anyone who’s ever witnessed a launch at KSC (I have) will probably say two things: it’s awesome, and it’s LOUD.

Not ear popping kind of loud, but VERY loud nonetheless, and you feel it too if you’re close enough. (Really recommend a viewing at the LC39 observation gantry, it’s awesome!) I was watching that video and kept thinking that platform isn’t far enough from inhabited land that people won’t go apeshit over how loud it is.

I want this future, and boy do I want to see a rocket launch again, but waking up to that nice sound of rocket fuel burning at 6.30am? Yeah, maybe no. :o)

>American medical system is not capitalist but mercantilist.

This distinction is made on the fallacious idea that "capitalism" is equal to a totally free market. This is a common confusion but false nevertheless. There is no reason I see why a capitalist system cannot include intervention by the government, and indeed it must deal with this to uphold property rights as even libertarian authors tell us.

Capitalism is the predominant employment of wage-labour, the private ownership of social means of production and the goal of accumulation of capital.

>Historically free market has always resulted in a much better quality in addition to lower prices.

It has also resulted in much higher rates of exploitation, as the workers of countries with more lax or unenforced labour laws suffer greatly for it.

Proper error handling in JavaScript
I am working on something kinda-sorta like this, but I'm not so sure how to productize it. I think the industry as a whole has been held back by the "phone app" phenomenon because it discourages people from taking full advantage of the power of PCs.

The trouble is that you have to have an "irrelevance model" and that may be even more user specific than a relevance model. (For instance, anything about Apple is in my irrelevance model for HN) The irrelevance model may be more important than the relevance model because 99.9% of everything is junk, so the problem of finding actionable "news" is like making glasses that let you look at the sun.
If you feel like you're not being paid what you should, you always have the option of starting your own engineering practice instead of letting someone else decide how you get billed out and what cut you get paid.

Presumably these doctors don't have that choice; they get what the government says they get and that's that.

Of course med school in the US is far from free. Totally different system over there, if you compare a single part at a time of course one of them is going to look terrible.

Could this be added as an option to Quicklisp? (ql:quickload :upstream t)

Also consider the flipside. One point of failure means you only have to audit one point of failure. In theory this is how other package distributors work like Homebrew and Debian. The distributor/packager/maintainer worries about upstream. If any such maintainer gets hacked, it would ostensibly get noticed and resolved pretty fast.

Then again, Homebrew actually does use the "metadata only" model and it seems to work well.

I've setup a few webhooks over the past few years, and one of the complications that people rarely talk about is the data that is passed to various webhooks.

As the article alludes to APIs change over time, and so you can find the data that is submitted to you changes. In my case I setup an end-point that responded to push events from various code-hosting services.

I found that the three "main" git-hosts sent widely different data in their webhooks, and updates we often painful. (Github, bitbucket, and .. something else. I forget now.) Trying to have one end-point to handle all services was a recipe for frustration and failures. Even parsing out the basic details was hard:

* This is the SSH repository URL of the thing that was committed to

In the end I moved to self-hosting git-repositories, rather than allowing users to point at my webhook. That allowed hooks in the master-repos to fire.

(In my case I trigger DNS updates when git commits are made.)
In your go-to-market strategy, you need focus. If you say, "We have 3 business models", it means you don't yet have a business model.

It's pretty clear that SpaceX is in the reusable rocket business. By your logic, Boeing didn't have focus, because they built seaplanes, flying boats, fighters, cargo planes, and passenger planes. (This is what they did, in the order that they did it.) They apparently had at least 5 business models. Whoops. I guess they didn't have a business model!
Around that time I was one of 6000 or so laid off and the work sent offshore, at a financial services company. Anyone who'd lived and worked in that period will have seen their or their friends or colleague's jobs at risk for the same.
As someone who has been learning React for the last couple of days, I found the tutorial quite adequate. My approach to learning was first going through the tutorial, then I began working on a real project, revisiting the tutorial code every time I needed to refresh my memory about some concept. I do agree it could've been more comprehensive and dealt with some real world scenarios like inputs, data-binding and whatnot, but generally speaking it was a nice showcase of what React can do.
I think the new, smaller BFR is still too big. It seems to me like a rocket about the size of the New Glenn [1] would more sense.

Where exactly did GP claim that it is? And why is regulation incompatible with a capitalist system? You are making the confusion that capitalism means "free market", when it doesn't.
>but am curious as to what the arguments against it are

There's a "philosophical" problem to the effect of, at some point, what are you indexing? But what seems to me to be the more practical issue, and forgive me for this being half-formed, is that it seems like indexing is subtly the wrong thing to do (in a world consisting of only bad choices). The things being indexed are basically weights, for example, the relative capitalization of various stocks, based on some filtering criteria. In order to keep a fund on target with an index, they have to buy and sell according to those weights, and in principle, if the weights change, then the fund's holdings have to change accordingly.

This would seem to me to introduce problems like, if there's a sell-off of some stock so that its price drops, then its capitalization will also drop (capitalization being number of shares times price per share), which would seem to reduce its weight in the index. This should then lead to index funds having a follow-on sell-off. (And likewise for exuberant buying.) So this would suggest to me that, if index funds come to dominate stock holdings, then they should both increase volatility, and result in their holders systematically "buying high and selling low." That is, because an index fund is not the same as an index, but it's in active feedback with the index computation method.

There's also a potential issue, again depending on the level of buy-in, that one should see systematically increasing P/E ratios because of increased overall buying of stocks. That is, in the past, it was not typical for normal people to engage in regular stock purchases (which are held for decades). This would suggest lower dividend yields, which leaves one wondering whether 401ks will become what people think Social Security is, i.e., ever-rising P/Es serving as a transfer from the young to the old that requires continual workforce increases to maintain.

Though I'm not in finance, these are just the things that occur to me in thinking, how would I implement an index fund, and what might that do to the system's dynamics.
> The SID has long been successfully emulated

Emulated, but from what I understand, not perfectly. Mainly because the SID was a hybrid digital and analog IC - and it's that analog part that made it unique.

Also - I don't think (I could be wrong) that any successful reverse engineering of the chip was ever done, nor do I think that there were any or much documentation about the chip (that is, official docs)? It was very much one of those custom chips made for one specific purpose that wasn't used in any other product (this was a common thing in many home computers of the 1980s).
Google aren't in professional services though - which is a very different business model to what Google does.
Right - the factor is not anyone's race, it's the concept of outsourcing itself.
Realism is a difficult thing to predict. If you're conservative in your estimate of what is probable, then you probably will choose to do nothing. If you are too liberal, you may say I'm a dreamer (But I'm not the only one). If you manage to peg it to the true probability, then you will probably fail to inspire the imagination, and thus fail to motivate the ones that will help you achieve. Knowing this, you let your dream be a bit inflated, and by doing so you achieve more than you would have if you had said outright what was truly probable.

Similarly, the installation page offers you to either download a single HTML file, or to install a CLI that gives you a project that's ready to go: https://reactjs.org/docs/installation.html

Could you clarify what give you an impression that you need to have a deep knowledge of build tooling to follow along?
