In UK the initial industrialisation of farming forced people to migrate to the town's to seek work. Their standard of living declined considerably; great news for the mine & mill owners though as they could grow richer and fatter with no dearth of cheap labour, particularly children.

Living standards did rise eventually, but there was a considerable lag. Initial income rises were at costs of health and of hard work, at a pace dictated by the master, for all the family.

I fear we'll see very similar patterns again.

Most people don't. Unfortunately they also want to live close to work, which is probably closer to city centres, which is where almost everyone works, which means you can't simultaneously satisfy both desiderata. The greater good here is higher density housing, not aesthetics.

Demopack: pre-packaged, configured webpack
That's because a decade ago we pretended that it did not exist by trying to muzzle them. In the absence of the avenues for us to see those nutcases the so called "educated population" believed it was a totally fringe group as no traces of them were visible in the liberal coastal towns not because 10% of their neighbors were not barbarians but because NYT acted as a gate keeper preventing barbarians at the gate from entering. So the population did not realize there were barbarians at the gate. 10 years later, NYT failed as a gatekeeper and there they were, pillaging.

Now instead of saying "Ok, there are barbarians here, we should deal with it reality" we say "Hey, we have a new set of gatekeepers - put on these glasses and you won't see the barbarians raping and pillaging"
Sounds like form the comments they still use React they just defer loading it until after the page is otherwise usable.

I think this is a fairly common use case for server-side rendering in React and I wonder how much of this improvement they would have seen just by SSRing the page and putting the React scripts at the end instead of the header (or using defer). This is the strategy I use with any React marketing type pages.

Edit:

Just to give more detail incase anyone is wondering, usually marketing pages are relatively the same for every user (unless you are doing identity based personalization or a/b testing) so often you can get away with pre-rendering all the HTML generated by the React. Then you don't even need to load React server side, you just serve up a static file.
I like how the people in replies to the top tweet seem to get angry at someone implying that React is not great.
Haven't tested to see how they are doing, but that's kinda orthogonal to using tor. Standard cryptography like https uses is meant so any eavesdroppers don't know WHAT you are talking about. But they still know that Alice is talking with Bob. Onion routing, that tor uses, is meant to so eavesdroppers also don't know who is talking to whom. But that's on the eavesdroppers part. If Alice and Bob are talking completely privately, it's completely fine if they are exchanging all the information they want between themselves. The big idea is that attackers don't know what you are doing.

Tor can also hide where Bob's servers are, but not sure if the New York Times would need that bit.
So basically they write React in front-end, then use react-renderer to generate static HTML and then serve it from back-end?

Seems like with this speed JS frameworks are going full-circle back to back-end rendering soon enough.

> How does the West counter it? How do we, humble internet users sucked into the melee, keep our heads and distinguish fact from fiction? It’s a profoundly deflating landscape out there at times but equally utterly fascinating.

How does the west counter a massive media campaign designed to discredit foreign news sources by making broad sweeping accusations and slanted reporting to mobilize large scale media and popular reaction in the online space?

Hmm, let me read the several articles from your media campaign designed to discredit foreign news sources by making broad sweeping accusations and slanted reporting to mobilize large scale media and popular reaction in the online space to find out...

perhaps by not thinking in us-vs-them terms but viewing all such organizations as somewhat suspect and determining a personal ethical/philosophical position and developing the ability to discern lies from truth based on the net-sum of available facts and historical understanding of reporting bias and self-interest of the various news sources involved, and using this discernment to evaluate such situations against the aforementioned ethical/philosophical position..
Seems to be more difficult than leaving the tap on at least.

Further, if people are actually employed and paid, they also pay income taxes. So now the property is even higher cost. Since to pay a person a minimum wage over the year (and the taxes and added costs that gives) is probably more than the property tax for foreigners would have been. Most importantly, the cost of either the property tax or the income tax solution should be higher than any expected gains in the property value (or at least enough to make it useless as an investment).

The best way to game this system would probably be to shadow own it behind some 18year old that has a full time job but lives at home. They have the tax space to make the deduction.
Like Oto (sp?) from Wall-E?
EV certs provide more than just encryption that a DV (domain validation) cert provides. DV just checks to make sure the domain is under control of whoever is asking for the cert.

EV ensures that the entity (person, corp, org, whatever) is in fact in control of the domain and is who they say they are.
I don't think you can unit test GUIs, since by their nature all tests end up being integration tests. It's easy if you assign non-css (i.e. use a data-* attribute for identification instead of id or class since you want to keep those variable for stylesheet refactors) identifiers and just hard code the assumptions into the tests, like "when x is clicked y should be visible", or "when I enter 'foo' into the text field, the preview label should contain 'foo'". Ideally your assumptions about GUI functionality shouldn't change much throughout the lifetime of the project, and if you use static identifiers your tests should hold up during extensive refactoring.

I'm not sure what approach you've described here, but it isn't TDD. In the case of adding new features to existing code, as you are continually running tests you will know straight away which you have broken. At this point you would fix them so you get all green again before continuing. In this way you incrementally modify the codebase. Remember unit tests are quite simple 'Arrange, Act, Assert' code pieces, so refactoring them is not a time sink.

"Any refactoring done is safe from regressions, because of your comprehensive test suite. "

With the right tests this works great. I have also seen the opposite where a test suite was extensive and tested the last details of the code. Then the refactor needed more time to figure out what the tests are doing than the actual refactoring. As often, moderation is the key to success.
it's pretty simple - if you agree with my position (which agrees with what I see on the TV), then you are a legitimate user- if you do not, then you must be a bot, and should be discredited

> Then you do some refactoring and you have to rewrite tons of tests.

One of the core principles of TDD is that you write tests to facilitate refactoring---to make it _easy_ to refactor and have confidence in the system after doing so. I've been practicing TDD for ~8y and this is rarely a problem. TDD encourages good abstractions and architecture that lends itself well to composition and separation of concerns.

But if you change an implementation, of course a test is going to fail---you broke the code. It works exactly as designed. What you want to do is change the test first to reflect the new, desired implementation. Any tests that fail that you didn't expect to fail may represent a bug in your implementation.

Of course, I haven't seen the code, so I can't comment on it, and I won't try to do so.

Seymour Papert dreamed of a learning revolution – why hasn’t it happened? (2016)
I have grown up in a communist totalitarian state and possibly as a result of that always consumed media with a critical attitude. There are no sources in the all-good bucket. The all-bad bucket is full of RT, Breitbart and other sources, because they have only one purpose. And that purpose is to further the agenda of their masters, not to inform their audience. That is the reason why it is not a legitimate news source.
That’s perfectly legit but in my experience uncommon. I’ve often seen 1/x per year for x years (like 25% after 1 year for 4 years). It’s also common to vest a portion immediately like 20% immediately. Then 20% each year for 4 years.

Note that generally employees only have 30 days to convert if they leave. So even if options are vested, how likely will they convert if they leave within a short period even if some are vested immediately? If the employee thinks the company is so awesome that they should convert options, then why would they leave so soon?

I’ve usually seen vesting periods of 3-5 years total.

Note there is nothing stopping you from having multiple grants simultaneously. Ie you get these options now as part of this deal. Then sometime in the future before the originals are all vested you can get another grant.

Lastly, if this is really early stage what is the likelihood that they will be worth anything ever? Perhaps you should optimize on cash.

As a Singaporean born and raised there and then left, you are spot on. Most Singaporeans, esp talented tech workers, do not wish to stay there. It's a gilded birdcage - if your moral values and behavior align with the government's, Singapore is a very clean, safe and prosperous environment for you. If you even have the notion to disagree with the government on anything, go somewhere else.

Because of such authoritarian attitudes in society, Singaporeans are raised to be subservient and fearful of authority (whether they know it or not). This means no creativity - the prevailing mentality in Singapore is "don't try to be clever - do what the authorities say and you won't go wrong", sort of like the local version of nobody gets fired for buying IBM. this is the reason why there is no innovation coming out of singapore despite the govt trying to offer all sorts of grants and schemes to "support local entrepreneurs" - because singaporeans have been psychologically beaten to subservience and are crippled when it comes to thinking out of the box because they have been conditioned by society to believe when you fail, you will be ridiculed and mocked and maybe even punished.

To have EDT year-round where I live (Maine):

5am Sunrise in mid-June, Sunset around 830pm.

6am Sunrise in mid-December, Sunset around 3pm.

EST year-round:

6am Sunrise mid-June, 930pm Sunset.

7am Sunrise mid-December, 4pm Sunset

Right now it's the first and last times with our spring-forward, fall-back switches. I'm thinking EDT year round would be most beneficial in the AM in winter, as it is realllly hard to get out of bed in the dark. I already go to work in the dark in winter, so it being dark an hour earlier wouldn't make any difference there.

Maybe just a half-hour difference in the switch would be a good compromise?

My experience with React has not been good. A gullible manager bought into "react everywhere" hype, flew in consultants for training and then proceeded to have a dozen pages on the website written in React. It's important to note that all but one was either completely static or a simple form with less than 5 fields.

This project did not go well. It took months to develop, has 0 test coverage, numerous bugs and doesn't work on edge or IE and isn't rendered on the server so it's a bad experience.

Everyone on the team was either fired or quit less than 6 months after it launched.

After evaluating the level of effort it would take to get the code base in a maintainable state, it was decided to migrate it over to a more traditional stack (plain js, static html, html forms) and that was completed in less than 2 weeks. Customer metrics across the board also improved.

The lesson here is to use the appropriate technology for the appropriate problem. Unless your application is very complex, requires real-time updates and you can afford the extra maintenance costs -- react is probably the wrong choice.
Even if they were only promoting their coverage (I don't necessarily disagree with that), they can still push an agenda of destabilization by being cheeky about it. Gravely denying something you did not do is an effective way to play those who don't trust you in the first place.

PS: This "leak" or whatever we want to call it looks pretty much as if someone with that agenda (might be just a fraction of RT, I consider them much more a freewheeling agent of chaos than a micromanaged propaganda machine) identified a situation were they could not lose and decided to stoke the fire.
