I do not question if it is high-level as much as I do its practicality. jQuery manipulates the DOM, React manipulates a virtual DOM pushing the changes to the client. That's about as vanilla as it gets.

Could you be a little more descriptive? If you're talking about creating a more visually appealing UI/UX experience, are you talking about creating a framework that more effectively handles UI component state?

Maybe I'm missing something and am way off base.

Brown (and most likely all other Ivies) is need-blind (except for international students).

So, unless you think they are lying, your point doesn't stand on limiting low-income students. You point on size of college is an altogether different issue.

"Beginning with the Class of 2007, Brown implemented its need-blind admission policy. Need-blind admission simply means that an applicant's ability to pay for their education will not be a factor in the admission decision"

It helps me organize events and keeping up with events of my friends. Or for just keeping up with friends I can't meet at the moment. It is useful tool. Sorry, I said it. I'm getting annoyed how people like you are always eager to blame facebook for their inability to actually improve their lives with it. It is really easy, so stop the excuses and learn something new. You might realize why people use it and maybe finally appreciate it.

Or learn how to actually make an alternative. No, Mastodon is not even close to it.

Sorry, I see that my words were ambiguous: it's not my implementation. I just took the existing pLucid implementation (which wasn't working) and banged on it until it worked again.

This is a financial analysis of Alibaba (posted on a financial blog called "Deep Throat").

I posted the title as-is, but wanted to note the topic for clarity.
Partly.

Currency is what we oil the gears of the economy with, it's a tool, not an investment.

First - the comparison was made to stocks - which is not valid.

Second - yes, valuing currency is much more speculative in nature - and it's generally not considered an 'investment' - it's either speculation - or used to hedge things, or as a financial instrument (i.e. you're doing a lot of business in Euros, buy a lot now to smooth earnings).

But even then, it's still possible to make some rationalizations.

GBP will not go 100x this year. Neither will it go to zero. BTC cold go to $100K, it could go to $0.

Finally - within an economy, the value of the currency is usually a moot issue, because only when things go international does it matter.

It really is an oversight from the carmaker not to use it in the design of the keyfob.

If the security of the whole system depends on distance, the crypto behind it should verify that distance limit. The same goes for NFC, bluetooth pairing, WPS, wireless credit and debit cards, and apple/android pay. They all have 'nearby' somewhere in their security model, and in no case is 'nearby' actually verified cryptographically.

That is funny, because the pre-2015 rules were only put in place in 2005, downgrading from a much more stringent regulatory environment than the post-2015 one.

And by funny I mean nonsensical.

Furthermore the 2015 move was undertaken because since 2005 the FCC had been enforcing Net Neutrality rules under Title I, but Verizon ultimately sued and in 2014 the courts decided the FCC did not have the authority to enforce these rules under Title I.
Can a judge hold a company in contempt and fine them for disobeying a judge? Even if Uber isn't guilty of stealing IP from Waymo they have certainly been less than forthcoming. I'm sure that Waymo has done some shady stuff too. If a person withholds evidence or obstructs a case a judge can throw them in jail. What's the equivalent stick that the judge has to compel a corporation?

> mostly because ISPs didn't have the technical capability

The major UK ISPs have been deploying deep-packet inspection since well, well before 2014. And this is in a jurisdiction subject, at least for now, to the EU's NN rules.

They use that to throttle 'bulk' traffic such as P2P in the evenings.
The Commerzbank advertises it on the homepage of their online banking, and when you try to activate online banking, they suggest it, too.

True, but you can prevent the introduction of new commands.

In this setting, if there's a central point, it can be cut. It's different if there is no central point (i.e. conficker P2P).

That is exactly what it is. As a car driver I already get that benefit, but people who cannot afford their own car can now also get higher comfort. Meanwhile free riders get punished, which gives them an incentive to shape up, thus improving the entire system.

I realize that this is a problem for a very small number of people who really can't conform because they don't have access to showers, but how often are homeless people really riding busses, let alone uber (other than as a place to get warmth, or in being dumped in another state)?
> Then you read about how San Francisco requires 14 permits that take 9 months to issue (plus a separate alcohol permit) and you wonder why anyone opens a restaurant at all (compounded by the fact that already-permitted restaurants have a vested interest in making the process more onerous over time). Multiply that burden by all of the restaurants that never get created and the cost is very large indeed.

so...either San Francisco has no restaurants at all, or this argument is complete garbage.

> This argument certainly applies to net neutrality in a far more profound way: the Internet has been the single most important driver of not just economic growth but overall consumer welfare for the last two decades.

Two decades where Comcast did not own Universal did not own NBC, Time Warner Cable did not own Warner, HBO, Turner, CNN, AT&T did not own them, and people watched TV on about 50 cable channels and not at all on the internet, rented DVDs/VHS from the video store and not at all on the internet. Cord cutting as a viable thing for not just movies but also TV has only begun in the last couple of years. [edit]: the conflicts of interest in modern ISPs, being that they now produce and own huge slices of the content itself that they serve, in fierce competition with just a few other giants, are orders of magnitude greater than they were even five years ago.

> Given that all of that dynamism has been achieved with minimal regulatory oversight, the default position of anyone concerned about future growth should be maintaining a light touch.

A hand-wavy "regulations! killing business!" argument. Regulations have a purpose and you will notice it every time you notice buildings having working fire exits and your dairy product at the supermarket not killing you.

> I’ll say it again — who can be against net neutrality?

Comcast, who has tried to block certain services already.
The idea is to get a dedicated device[0] which uses your bank card to sign the transaction and shows transaction details on its own display. That's probably even harder to infect than iOS.

While German banks support that almost universally, hardly anybody uses it.

Education is one of the biggest scams and it’s run 99% by the upper middle class. At elite universities, it’s upper middle class people fleecing upper middle class peoplle. At less elite universities, it’s upper middle class people fleecing middle and lower class people.
That's not an existing link though until two devices using it come close enough to communicate and the connection is established. If that were to count any device with an ethernet port and an IP stack would be linked because "all" you need to do is run a cable. Of course both devices have to have compatible protocols to communicate but that doesn't mean they have a link established until the connection is made.

IPFS is really neat and I'm glad it's open sourced but it's not a mesh networking protocol. I'd love to see a combination of IPFS and a robust mesh networking scheme. It'd be a pretty great way to bring internet like functionality where there's no infrastructure without having to setup anything other than having people bring their devices.
that is so verbose I still can't believe it's true. sorry actually true

Do you have to target enterprise customers rather than small businesses? Enterprises have very complicated decision-making processes that can be hard to navigate if you're not experienced, and even harder if you don't already have traction.

Small businesses on the other hand will normally try out a demo of the product and decide on the spot if they like it or not. They aren't all that way, but if you talk to 50 10-person businesses, at least a couple of them will probably be willing to buy on the spot if your product solves a problem for them at a reasonable price.

Go get some of those tiny customers even if they're not profitable for you, and then later move upmarket to the enterprise clients you really want. Or do what I do and just stay focused on small customers indefinitely because they're so much better to work with.
They were originally only on wal-mart.com, and have held that domain since 1991. walmart.com was held by "World At Large" until later, looks like 2001-ish. Walmart's branding still used the hyphen (as "Wal-Mart") until 2008.

This is the actual Walmart website in 1996, although there's nothing there to be sold.

Couldn't something similar be said of companies?

Companies what regulations repealed: to increase the company's power while pretending to protect you, but in fact increasing your dependence of said company.

Why do you have more faith in companies than a government? Do you honestly believe that market forces can sway mega corporations?
At last, a rational argument for the moral superiority of Northern European societies! That was about time!

It's pitty this is such an old article, I'd love to hear the author's rationalist defense of the moral superiority of diverse historical phenomena originating in Northern Europe, like anthropogenic global warming, WWI and WWII, separately the Holocaust, Stalin and, well, why not? Colonialism.

Yeah, it's a rhetorical request. It's my attempt at a reminder of the real reason why educated people don't criticise others cultures so easily. Because they know where they themselves come from.
Very cool. I hope we can start seeing WebAssembly-pluggable codecs in all of the video/audio paths in the browser. Imagine being able to turn on a brand-new codec (or select a customized codec for your particular use) in any browser that supports WebAssembly.

Two ends of a WebRTC connection could even negotiate codecs based on power/processing needs, with one sending a WebAssembly codec to the other as a fallback if needed ("hey you don't support this thing that I support in hardware, but you are plugged in, so burn some more electrons on your end").

WebAssembly SIMD [1] will definitely help with performance here.

Minor nitpick - he mentions the concept of Shame Cultures vs. Guilt Cultures and mentions the Japanese as a Guilt Culture, along with the European cultures. But this concept was first popularized in a book by Ruth Benedict called the Chrysanthemum and the Sword, where she claims that Japanese culture is a Shame (haji) culture where social norms are primarily enforced by fear of ostracism ("Nobody will be your friend/help you if you act like that!") versus internalized fears in a Guilt culture ("God will punish you if you act like that!"). It was written in the late 40's and it's been criticized by Japanese and others, but that's where the idea comes from.

Housing crashes strips away your equity, that's kind of the definition of a housing crash.

HELOCs were cancelled en mass during the last crash.

Lending standards are tightened and new laws are passed during crashes, just because you can get a no income HELOC ("liar loan") now doesn't mean you always will be always able to in the future.
I definitely recommend looking into building your own. (Whether you do or don't game, but the customizability can be especially beneficial for gamers.)
There's even bigger problem that many people aren't talking about than net neutrality.

Look what Telus in Canada did[1] when employees were organizing a labor strike. There won't be anything to prevent this action anymore. Imagine if this would be used for affecting public for political gain.

My entire productivity system is a checklist in a pocket-sized notebook. When I get to work, I write down the things I need to do, have been asked to do, and want to do (in that order) — most days it's 3–5 things. Each item is a specific task that I know how to do.

This system, if you can even call it that, works for me for two reasons:

1) It gets the thoughts out of my head, so I don't have a constant "background noise" reminding me of something I have to do.

2) It separates the planning from the doing. This keys off the fact that many people feel good about getting organized, even if we tend to procrastinate on doing actual work. Separating planning from doing turns scary tasks into a short, clear bullet point.

For me (working mainly as a software engineer), the hardest part about any task is scoping and defining it. There are no hard tasks, only vague ones.

Usual stuff: groceries, travel packing list, travel bucket list, ideas, restaurants to go to, date ideas, hiking trails, places to notify about address change, wishlist (things to buy), books to read (separate list for fiction and non-fiction), gift ideas, beers, wines, document checklists for more or less complicated things like mortgage or visa applications, conferences.
Actually, I am asking that. Several other commentors have asserted that "the world changed" a few years before the rule passed, yet nobody has really explained in detail how. So far I've gotten a hypothetical about Wal-Mart paying ISPs to destroy Amazon, which didn't actually happen. (Though I haven't read other responses yet, so maybe there's something more here I just have missed.)

But, let's take a closer look at what you just said here. You are correct that many laws and regulations are reactive in nature. That doesn’t automatically justify them. As a matter of fact, it is often the case that the most reactive laws and regulations can be some of the worst, as has constantly been demonstrated from September 11, 2001 to the present day. I mean, there is a real problem with terrorism, but that real problem doesn't automatically justify banning travel from 8 majority-Muslim countries, does it?

At least in the terrorism example, I have some understanding of how terrorism exploits people, and that makes it possible to debate how to use the government to protect people from that exploitation (or to protect other people from exploitation by the government, in the name of protecting people from explotation). Individual acts of terrorism have been clearly identified and publicized, so it is possible to have a coherent public policy discussion. But in the net neutrality case, everyone either discusses:

1. Hypotheticals, like Wal-Mart paying Comcast to destroy Amazon
2. Court cases that... actually were resolved in court under anti-trust law
3. Assertions that new censorship will take place like we've never seen before, even though we'd be going back to the pre-2015 status quo.

Despite sounding flippant about it, I don't actually mean to. People here are pretty smart, so if they're all worked up about it, I must be the one missing something. I would just like someone to coherently explain what that is.

Which is perfectly controllable if your model includes delayed feedback. Unfortunately, the dominant macroeconomic models contain neither delayed feedback nor nonlinearity, and are not capable of simulating recessions without resorting to arbitrary "exogenous shocks".

In contrast, Steve Keen is actively developing dynamic nonlinear models of macroeconomics that is actually capable of simulating endogenous recessions.

As a side note. I can't help but feel like this comment is insincere - if it isn't, I apologize.

Understanding enough about the issue to believe Pai's attempt is a rollback indicates that a poster would have read or skimmed some of the voluminious NN-related material. In every comments section, this 'rollback' argument is trotted out. In every comments section it is soundly refuted with evidence, as it is low-effort FUD.
