Well, for example, if 11 members of the 20 person track team are going somewhere after practice, you have to invite everyone you meet even if you don't want them there. Even if its totally impractical to invite them there. If you're at a park throwing a Frisbee with some people you know, and you happen to be going somewhere with one friend afterwards, it's almost mandatory to invite the others who are there, even if you don't want to. I don't understand the rules, honestly. I was from a family who hardly ever invited anyone. But I've been frequently exposed to conversations about "who we've invited and hope doesn't come". As well as found myself in circumstances where I later realized that I was invited somewhere out of politeness rather than any desire that I be there. Both situations are really weird to me and it's just an extra complication that I don't need in my already tenuous understanding of social interaction.

In the Czech republic people don't talk as much and generally these situations occur rarely. And the example that I gave of the people in the park just doesn't happen in the Czech republic. There is no requirement to invite someone someplace just because you are going there yourself.

No of course it is inevitable -

All firms, are in competition.

Media firms must get attention to succeed.

There is more media than any human can consume in a life time.

Therefore, to succeed, you must be the media consumed, instead of someone else.

THis means you want to get peoples attention - at all costs.

This is sufficient to create the situation we have. You can always add some twist to the whole thing, but this is sufficient.
>I don't like FB personally but don't understand the steady stream of criticism about -- that it's too addictive

You're right, you don't understand.

This is a problem that you don't personally deal with but the data shows that there is a problem.

Many tech consumer products are specifically tailored to get a user more and more addicted to the service, similar to the way the food industry specifically tailors food products to make humans consume more and more of the food (salt/fat/sugar). Never-ending and constantly optimizing research and development goes into this addiction cycle since for many tech products revenue == traffic/engagement.

Adding a little bit of "sweetness" to your product makes it more enjoyable, and that's a good thing. But capitalism is a never ending process of optimizing for profit so before long your product is so "sweet" it is causing serious issues for many people.
Like you I stop actively using FB for about a year now. I've considered deleting the profile but thought that is giving facebook too much importance (I would also hate that my grandparents can't find my old photos anymore).

On the other hand I can see why people are treating facebook more like an utility and not a service in a competitive market: the size of its network is now huge and too many people rely on it to receive and propagate information.

The problem with facebook, in my view, is they have (understandably) developed all these tools for you to easily add things to it but make zero meaningful effort to let you (as user) erase things you have place there. After a decade of using facebook, why can't I easily unlike everything I liked? why can't I go and unfollow (massively) "friends" from 10 years ago? why doesn't facebook REALLY delete my content when I tell it to?

I am free to leave facebook or stop using it, but apparently I'm not sure to stop facebook from keep using my old content for eternity. if this was a company that could fold tomorrow, I wouldn't care about this. But its facebook. it's the power company, the water company, the government, and they have my data and does not let me trim it.

Their algorithm acts like a "sad" person who after several desperate and failed attempts at getting my attention to use the service resort to showing my ancient posts/photos to people who are likely to interact with me so that I have to login and use it. It's a sad service.

I don't think the 'labour' concept of value has any meaning at all.

Given how much our labour is amplified by machines, energy, machine intelligence, parts, equipment, R&D, support - it's not a very helpful way to think about anything.

It's also very unhelpful when considering prices of IP related things.

Exactly; 'auto' was the corollary of 'register'. Ie. it specified that the variable was to be put into automatic storage. On most architectures this means the stack. So not only did it specify what was the default behavior anyway, but it's better to let the compiler figure that out too.

While we're on this topic, why are all Ethereum projects so damn meta? Like, the top dapps are all recursively related to Ethereum in some way (like wallets for ethereum, different ways of spending ethereum etc.) If a technology is new and exciting, shouldn't it be relevant outside of its own little meta-bubble? Like Amazon, for example. Buy stuff without going anywhere. It uses the internet but doesn't somehow recursively relate to it. Where's a similar dapp today?
I have used Bitcoin for purchases in the past. I try not to do it so often because of the exact thing you mentioned, but I feel like this is something that could improve with time.

If Bitcoin does get mass adoption and becomes THE worldwide currency then that also means that the volatility will decrease significantly to the point where I wouldn't have any problem transacting using Bitcoin.

I realize the idea of that actually happening is pretty insane and it is probably more likely that the value will go down to zero, but it is hard to predict the future.

I wouldn't even be surprised if Nintendo is just outsourcing its "direct retail" operation to a third party retailer who takes a larger commission than the resellers. I mean, Nintendo (clearly) isn't in the retail business so it would make sense to outsource it rather than build that infrastructure from scratch.

There's not much of a reason to believe buying from the Nintendo store has higher margins for Nintendo than buying from a retailer.
If samples were around and we measured them, I would guess it would have a lower amount of both CBD and THC compared to today's 'standards'. There are no standards with cannabis though. It's one name for a multitude of species and strains which are aggressively bred and hybridized with many family trees. Now with our modern understanding of the plant, CBD high and THC low species, and THC high and CBD low (more prominent) are bred, along with everything in between.
Yeah, but that's corner case. We usually read code on screens, paper, email, git history, etc.
Could a psychological problem of Bitcoin actually be, that there are not enough of them, so that to own a single one is too expensive?

Thanks for the notes!

> And immediately after that the article spends two pages of text explaining how insanely complex the "becomes easy with GraphQL" really is, and offers no actual details on the "easy" part.

Hi, thanks for this piece of feedback! I could have done a better job here, since I was summarizing a 38 min talk into a few paragraphs.

These parts are actually talking about different concepts:

The first is about ensuring that a single fetch from the UI knows about all the data it needs, so you can easily avoid multiple roundtrips to the database. This is something you can do with a basic in-process caching tool called DataLoader: https://github.com/facebook/dataloader

The second is about caching _across_ requests, something that people usually have special infrastructure for in REST, such as Varnish. This talk was elaborating on how a GraphQL-specific piece of caching infrastructure might work, and sit in exactly the same place as REST caching.

> Oh, your client has to be cache aware.

I think the intention was to say that it _could_ be cache aware. It doesn't need to be, but you end up with a really nice situation.

> I would love to see an explanation how GraphQL makes caching for this easy.

My intention here was to say that GraphQL's ability to understand what fields are being asked for makes it easy to return specific cache controls, rather than having to put one on the whole query. So your server basically generates the control for you (this is something that exists today)

> It's called REST APIs and we've known how to do them since 2001.

I don't think REST has a way to automatically combine multiple REST services, and then query them all in one HTTP request without multiple roundtrips to the client, which was the goal here.

Happy to talk more, and thank you for bringing up some of the places where I can communicate more clearly in the future! The audience of the talk was a GraphQL conference, but I should definitely consider next time that people who aren't already bought into the idea of GraphQL will be taking a look as well.

Each one of the cryptocurrencies I have encountered relies on the idea that the supply is somehow predefined.

Give me a cryptocurrency whose supply is adjusted based on the needs of their users and I am interested. Give me a cryptocurrency that allows heavily negative interest rates for savings to embrace current consumption in the economy over hoarding of "money" and I am interested. But these are complete anathema for the current cryptocurrency folks.

In template meta-programming, there are many cases where you don't know types until your template is instantiated; which, when you're writing libraries, could be with many types. Auto is a 'nice to have' when doing regular OO or generic programming in C++, but it changes (some) template meta programming from 'too difficult to bother with' to 'feasible'.

They're trained to look ahead, anticipate and adapt to the road conditions, judging when they need the siren and when they don't. This is important in built-up areas, because there's no gain in waking up people at 2am when you didn't actually need a siren to proceed safely.

When they're putting it on at a junction and you're already in it, they're not expecting you to magically disappear out of their way. They're expecting you to look at where they're going and stay out of their path. This might involve proceeding as you were going to in order to clear it for them. What they really want is to stop anybody else from entering it until they've got through.

As a note, it is not safe for a component using a render prop to implement shouldComponentUpdate. The problem is that the render prop may close over data that the component is unaware of. The Asana core components used to the use the render prop pattern until we discovered that issue and also realized it made tests harder to write. Now we use React.cloneElement instead.

This sounds great, thanks for the idea. It's like adding rapportive to it.
For simple cases yes, but in the cases where you need auto the most (preprocessor or template meta programming) it very often doesn't work, and can't even work because it doesn't know the template types it's being instantiated with.
Haha, I haven't seen that before, but that scene really piqued my interest.

The media latches on to a fringe subculture in japan and then paints it as the norm. It would be like japanese media finding some fringe culture like furries and then making it seem like all americans are furries.

This is an example of where the perfect is the enemy of the good. The point here is to capture the (now) trillions of multinationals that are made almost exclusively in the developed world but aren't taxed anywhere near reasonably anywhere in the developed world.

Laws can be written to say things like "substantial operations" in the US. Software engineers tend to have a problem with the discretionary and subjective language that is common in the law. But such language would allow the likes of the IRS to capture most of the squirrelled trillions. And if some of it isn't who cares?

In case you're not from or familiar with the US system, there are countless examples of this. Take sales tax. By the US constitution, the Federal government has the right to tax interstate commerce. The states don't. This led to a problem in the Internet era where people were shopping online and Internet retailers were under no obligation to collect state sales taxes. Technically consumers were liable for them anyway (so-called "use taxes") but many never reported them.

Companies with a presence in the state however were obligated to collect those sales taxes as their presence made them subject to state laws. This is why if you shop from B&H or Adorama you only pay taxes if you live in the state of New York (NJ too for Adorama IIRC).

But some years ago the state of New York went after the likes of Amazon with a so-called "Amazon tax". Such a move by the states was inevitable and I believe now Amazon collects sales taxes everywhere. This puts them on the same footing as the likes of Walmart.

So there are still retailers around that are small enough they don't merit the Amazon treatment but who cares? The point was to get to a "good enough" solution rather than a perfect solution.

>Flawed argument because he doesn't understand the tech.

People don't buy technology, they buy the experiences technology creates.

If the price remains this volatile I have no reason to sell it, or to use it as a currency to purchase goods and services. The real problem is that the technology wasn't designed to increase the value of the coin, it was designed to create a currency for use in purchasing goods and services. In other words, if I can't use the technology for what it was intended for (purchasing goods and services) than I can't experience what the technology creates.
