> neither Tom Clancy nor Stephen King have any control over their publishers' marketing departments

Are you joking?

If Tom Clancy or Stephen King or a JK Rowling-level said "Add Seattle Mystery Bookshop to my next signing tour" it would get done. They might hem and haw about how wanting to do B&N instead, or some other excuses and they might try to talk them out of it, but if the star wants it, they're going to get it. Nobody wants to be responsible for losing the rights to Stephen King's next book.

Small authors can obviously go wherever they want, nobody cares enough to stop them. It's the mid-level guys who are under control by the publishers but aren't large/influential enough that they can dictate their own schedules.

> In my mind the single best thing about Redux is the use of event sourcing for all application state changes.

I hate to be picking nits here, but unless you're actually storing those events, and rebuilding state from those, its not eventsourcing. We already have to deal with a lot of confounded terminology in that space, please don't add to the confusion.
That's true for some rotary dial phones. Alas, in my house, I had a more ornate model which did away with the plastic guard to prevent phone calls from being cut off[1]. Instead any fall, would depress the place where you hung the phone up, and instantly cut off the on going call. As I remember, even accidentally jostling it by leaning too far onto the desk, could potentially cut off a call.

To me, that speaks a timeless truth---expensive and ornate tools are often less functional than their inexpensive peers. Today, expensive smartphones break instantly, but inexpensive ones which thick bezel on 'cheap' glass is resistant to accidental impact.

Tunneling in the US is really expensive but many projects have been done for a billion per mile (China is like $100 million per mile). The Big Dig is the highest priced tunnel ever done and not the expected cost of tunneling. If we could do $100 million per mile from San Francisco to Palo Alto (~45 miles), that is $4.5 billion. Charge the $20 each and make ~$1 billion a year. This would be a no brainer. Even at $1 billion a mile and $45 billion total it would almost make sense financially in the current low interest environment. For keeping people sane in the Bay Area, it would definitely be worth it.

I cut thirty pounds in four weeks (yes, thirty pounds in four weeks, the first twenty of which were gone in two) by making no change in my behavior or diet other than cutting out the sugar I was putting in my coffee. I drink coffee all day long as a programmer, and used quite a ton of sugar. Double or triple what you're thinking. Anyway, the only change I made was cutting out that sugar, and I dropped thirty pounds in four weeks.

There's just no way to efficiently ship that many people on that route virtually simultaneously.

So many people finish work around the same times that you get this massive spike of people on the hour, and then it's dead quiet once that on-hour spike has been fulfilled. You don't want to be trying to get on the 545 at 5pm or 6pm. Shift your leaving time so you're at the bus stop 10-15 minutes earlier and it's a whole other story. Although I no longer do the 545 any more, for that, and for my current route I switched to arriving early in the office and leaving 4:30ish. I'm almost always guaranteed to get a seat and have less rush hour traffic slowing down my return home.

One thing that the city could do to help, and has helped elsewhere, is to encourage city businesses to shift their starting and finishing hours, especially those businesses that are a bit more regimented. This spreads out the peak over a bigger period of time and allows both more overall flow and less disruption.

I agree with what you said, but I want to point out that feel shouldn't be the word used here. Feel is used for something that's unproven, a gut instinct or emotion.

In terms of major corporations prioritizing profits over consumer best interests it's not a feeling anymore. The multitude of documented cases of corporations explicitly deciding to prioritize profits over everything has gone on long enough that at this point a company would have to prove exactly what profits they were leaving on the table before anyone should resonably believe they are acting in the interest of consumers.

Its going to cause more and more situations like this fear of antennas and radiation, or vaccinnes causing autism, or any other crazy sort of idea because there is no trust anymore and the public has to assume they are going to get fucked if they aren't cautious

I think we all can and should apply our values towards judging companies' usefulness to society. That doesn't mean regulating or prosecuting them - moral clarity goes a long way on its own. People work hard to be held in high esteem by their peers: when we refuse to honor a useless company with prestige, it makes it harder for that company to attract talent; it reduces consumer demand for its products; it makes vendors less excited to work with them. etc. We get companies and products that reflect our values, so let's affirm the right values.

To take your example: Coca-Cola doesn't kill people as efficiently as Oxycontin, but yes, it doesn't really add much. A balanced analysis would probably acknowledge that sugar plays a huge role in our obesity crisis and other public health issues, but also acknowledge that there are many sources of sugar besides soft drinks, that sugar isn't as terrible as heroin, etc. I think Coca-Cola executives should probably feel a little bad for devoting their professional lives to it. I think schools like Emory should feel a little ashamed for taking Coca-Cola money. The fact that Coca-Cola is constantly touted as a great American company (by e.g. Warren Buffett) helps normalize the damage it inflicts on society.

I'd advocate a nuanced view: Coca-Cola isn't great, but it's not the devil. There's worse (like tobacco companies, which are probably correctly rated by society). And there's better (Bank of America, Microsoft) - those companies have their own detractors of course, but on balance they add a lot more to our lives than Coca-Cola.
RE: 5G, maybe it's different in US but following quote is from IEEE:

>As far as frequency, the 5G test network used a 15 GHz frequency band, which is higher and shorter range than current 3G/4G cellular frequencies that top out at around 2.6 GHz

http://www.comsoc.org/blog/latest-update-5g-ieee-communicati...

The original article was suggesting this substantial difference is the likely source of the problem, which would make sense if the study used the same frequency range.

Higher frequencies tend to dislike solid obstacles and need higher gain (there is a specific absorption rate that phones must not exceed to prevent literally cooking bits of you, something you might not necessarily feel but could eventually result in cancerous tissue just like any repetitive internal trauma)...

such an argument against it's use for cell phones might have weight, on the other hand forcing this paper narrative (if it was in-fact using 900MHz) was a mistake.
Yes, the skates are good for moving non-electric cars with electric cars in tunnels. I think it is a great idea you have to equate and call these closely-packed individual vehicles trains. Trains are a morally good way to travel while using a car is a morally bad way to travel. We all want to be morally good, right?
Yes in dos/win3.1 you might have win.exe at the end of autoexec.bat, you might have dosshell in there. You might have some Novell "login.exe" instead. Or maybe it was good old command.com.

Win95 had a full screen splash which was an RLE file called logo.sys, loaded by the win95 boot process. I don't think autoexec even ran under 95/98/me. I'm sure that Wikipedia will have the full history though.

Let's say the state says cities must grant rights to telcos to use street lights for cell antennas. But maybe one town has a historic downtown with old gas lamp street lights and adding cell equipment would look bad, or damage them. Or maybe installation in some towns would require cutting back heritage trees. There are reasons for cities to have different regulations. Not that this is specifically applicable to the actual vetoed bill, which I think was a good idea.

I don't use Redux, but I presumed that the events were stored by default, and state was rebuilt from them during 'time travel' debugging. In a production environment, rebuilding from the stored events is less necessary, and only specialised applications such as rich text editors (e.g. really use it).

Look up things like Geos (graphical 8-bit OS) or look at the original Quake source code. The stuff we develop today is woefully inefficient compared to software of the past. I routinely use apps on my quad-core 64-bit notebook that are slower than comparable apps on old sub-100mhz 32-bit machines in the late 90s.

One factor is certainly as elsewhere stated the pressure to ship fast and cut labor costs, but I'm not convinced this is the biggest. I think the biggest factor is that developers love to over-engineer.

This is so, so true:

> They added bus bulbs on the side of the road to pick up passengers without blocking traffic.

Interesting. Here in Munich new bus stations are explicitly not in bulb form, because buses tend to pick up too much delay from morons ignoring the bus while it blinks and blinks and blinks until finally someone has the sense to let the bus merge into traffic.

On the other hand, the "blocking" way has its own downsides. I live on a 1-lane-per-direction road, directly next to a recently converted bus station - and now I have angry honking whenever there's a load of school kids or wheelchair-bound people, and morons trying to overtake the car on the other direction's lane... so far no accident has happened but I'm waiting for it.

My experience could not be more different from you. My cable started fraying badly after 1-2 years and finally died after 3.5 years. I have only used it at home and a handful of trips where it been packed most of the time. I tripped on a laptop cable exactly zero times in my life. I accidentally brushed off the cable almost every single fucking day. I love this laptop but I hate this adapter. The brick is way to big and falls of of most outlets. The extensions cable helps but makes it way too long and akward to roll up.

My point isn't to say that your experience is less valid but the benefit of an open charging standard is that we each can pick power adapters that we fit our use case.

Edit: Also, my and his cable probably died because of using it on our laps.

> I would conjecture that these things are easy for us, not because we are amazing learning machines, but because we have millions of years of evolution, and years as infants with caring teachers going for us.

And so do chimpanzees. Evolution must have provided us with something additional, which would be our rather more developed cognitive abilities to employ abstract reasoning and metaphor.

Those abilities aren't learned, they're innate, and they allow us to think in ways that don't require large amounts of data. An average human being can be shown an Atari game like Pacman, and easily understand what the objective of the game is almost right away.
That whole block is located just off of the core part of downtown Seattle (3 blocks from city hall and muni tower; 1 from Smith Tower), but currently filled with little shops in a small building. A coffee shop next door moved across the street to expand and switch from a short building to a slightly taller, somewhat newer one.

Downtown Seattle has pushed about as far North as it can, and is starting to expand South (past the government and banking towers) as well. Most of these shops are just going to shuffle into new spaces or be replaced by other little shops in new spaces. It's unfortunate, because the neighborhood is old, but there's limits to how much poorly developed land we can hold in the core of downtown. I expect everything from downtown to the stadiums is going to become towers just like SLU did -- because the core of the city needs the space. We'll probably keep a touristy section along the water (just like now) and the core of Pioneer Square, Smith Tower itself, etc. But these kinds of small shops need to move or find a business model that fits with the new density.

I might feel differently if it were a park than a bookshop -- but I don't really feel that bad that a small, niche store got pushed out of the core of downtown so the property could develop.

Events aren't stored by default. You can store them, and it sure makes creating those types of applications easier, but that's more because you've bought at least partially into referential transparency and pure functions in your reducers.

More apps than the ones you mentioned benefit from this though, any undo or revert operation in an applications is leagues easier in the sort of FRP design of redux.
Approaching recipe variations like a scientist – best panna cotta recipe (2012)
Redux's core doesn't store any events or prior state by default. It just does:

currentState = rootReducer(currentState, action);

Time travel debugging is implemented as a store enhancer, which does indeed save the action history and replay it to generate the correct state as you jump between specific points in the history log.

There's also many addons and additional use cases that can make use of recording actions as they occur, such as logging a user's session for later playback / debugging as part of a crash report, or implementing undo/redo functionality.
I think it's more that people who study the past ascribe violence (such as revolutions) to people going hungry, and they also associate hunger with short term (on the scale of a few years) climate.

Then on top of that, the largest volcanic eruptions (e.g. Tambora [1]) are known to impact the global climate in ways that are measurable, and indeed even observable to the layperson, over the scale of a few years.

It seems like it might be a legitimate line of scientific inquiry.

Make transit better than driving and the problem will solve itself. People are rational.

When I worked downtown in SF, the options were clear. Take transit or deal with ridiculous traffic and costs of close to $600 a month.

Now that work south of SF, I can either take the company shuttle, which takes 40 min and if I miss it, I have to wait another hour. Or, drive my car which takes 20 min and I can arrive/leave whenever I please. Easy decision.

You can't fault people for making a rational choice.

Even with very experienced teams who you know well and maybe even report to you, not to mention people you dont know and maybe in another country, the one best thing I’ve found is have the daily meeting.

Call it Scrum if you like, it can be 15 minutes. Its just really hard to stay on track w. remote teams otherwise. I used to think daily status was a bit heavyhanded and I hate heavyhanded, but its really needed. Sw dev is too complex and quite difficult to get right in a fixed timeframe.
I'm hoping with automatic vehicles and tunneling this mass transit versus not mass transit dichotomy will just fade away. Automatic buses and cars could use the same tunnel. Just make sure the tunnel does not clog up by charging each vehicle by how much space it uses up. People are willing to pay for transportation, many just don't like paying for other peoples transportation.

With enough tunnels traffic congestion disappears. Unless for some reason you think people should just not be able to move around when they want to, this would be great.

I don't feel like the author ever explained how Amazon changed Seattle and I'm not convinced Amazon did. Seattle changed over a few decades, like time has a tendency to do.

My grandfather, one of the engineers that worked with the Voyager I and II teams, died of throat cancer. From the late 90s up until his death in 2007 he was warning people about the potential harmful effects of cell phone radiation. He would only use corded phones.

His throat cancer was thought to be caused, at least in part, by his increased exposure to radiation from the instruments he worked on while working for the US government. Most of his work was classified and he took almost everything about his work to his grave. My mother told me he'd disappear for weeks at a time and he'd never talk about where he went or what he did.

If anyone knows more about the specifics of what my grandfather, William Henry Fairing, Jr., was working on, that'd be so amazing to learn about!
