There is, just make it easier (and in some cases, even possible) for people to pay for content (see the comment above https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15920913)

There are always people who are ready to pay and people who will go to every length to not to. Instead of focusing on giving a good experience to the first crowd, companies end up screwing it up and then waste time on trying to force the second crowd to pay.

To summarise the summary:

- Amazon is taking all their business and will continue to do so even more

Longer summary:

- shopping malls have been in decline for years

- the decline seems likely to continue due to amazon's growth

- once large department stores leave, smaller shops lose customers who would have passed them on the way to the larger store

- smaller stores often have break clauses in their leases in case this very thing happens

- this has been said before

I'm not deeply familiar with Mobx, but there's a few Redux implementations for Python. See pydux[0] and aioredux[1].

Not the same thing, of course, since Mobx is much more sophisticated than Redux, but in my team we're currently experimenting with aioredux for state management of client data, which drives the React+Redux frontend. It's working surprisingly well so far, although the biggest hurdle is team familiarity with functional aspects of Redux, and general structuring and responsibility of reducers.

The library is no longer maintained, but considering the simplicity of the implementation and of Redux itself, we felt it wasn't a show stopper since we could always take over maintenance ourselves.

I'd also be interested to know of Mobx Python implementations.

I think the UK loan system is pretty much optimum. It's a "can't pay don't pay" system. Even on £40k gross my payments are £1710 a year, leaving £28k after deductions (not including pension).

But I don't think Poland is in danger, Russia already got most of what it wanted during/after WW2 from Poland.

I hope so too, but I would bet on the other outcome.
Gatsby is great. I have a site for a local construction company hosted on S3. The repo is on gitlab and I use the CI/CD of gitlab to handle deployments and tests. The best part, I trained the non-technical folks at the construction company to make edits on gitlab (change pictures, text, etc) and their changes automatically get deployed. Bacially using gitlab as the cms. It’s very smooth, no security issues, and very fast
In the US, malls have been fighting that trend. Until recently they saw those stores as a cancer. Grocery stores and work-out locations would 'push out' the high dollar customers. Of course the internet is taking away those high dollar customers so the malls need those stores now.

I stay away from the big local mall because of the lack of security. Also 2/3's of the mall are women's clothing stores. There nothing really there for me anyone more.

The next closest mall is a rotting heap that is kept alive by the marker space and a theater. They need to repave the parking lot and fix the roof to attract new good stores.

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone in 2018–plus a 15-Min Challenge from Mike Posner
The copyright industry has had far too much power for many years now. But when I talk to people about this nobody cares. For most people the products of this industry are just "content" which they use to waste their time so I suppose it makes sense that they don't care too much about it. The tragedy is that the copyright industry controls a large and continually growing part of our culture and their power is only increasing.

I was there when a UK music tracker called OiNK's Pink Palace was shut down. The police raided the home of the site owner before dawn and even the home of his father who had no idea what his son was up to. Copyright industry writers wrote the news article, claiming it was "extremely lucrative" and included gems such as "Within a few hours of a popular pre-release track being posted on the OiNK site, hundreds of copies can be found".

The site's owner was found not guilty in court several years later, but not before the copyright industry essentially ruined his life.

But how does this happen? If you talk to most people they don't understand copyright at all. They think it's some kind of privileged status that you have to pay for, like a trademark or something. Most people are not even aware that they hold copyrights. And why would they? Can the average person summon the police to help protect their copyright? Of course not. It's not even a criminal matter. The police being involved seems nothing short of corruption.
Malls have roughly the same function as "main streets" do in European towns - a relatively neutral public space - and I suspect the worry for their demise is largely the same as the worry for the demise of the main street in Europe.
You mean when they pay the capital-gains tax rate, which is much lower than the rate us ordinary mortals pay on our income?

The poor oppressed billionaires and even, yes, the mere multi-multi-millionaires, do not have my sympathy. I doubt you're going to change that.
B) It's straightforward - those companies are very often bought by other companies (because they have intrinsic value). The buyer purchases all of the shares from the shareholders (usually in cash), which realizes the value of the company.
Mostly the former probably, but for many it's the latter as well. Malls historically were a central gathering point where many people burnt an entire day just shopping around, grabbing lunch at the food court, and just in general "hanging out". It's where the term Mallrat (and the move _Mallrats_) gets their naming from.

In more recent years it's not as important and the day trips probably aren't there, but many still flock to malls around holidays for shopping and also during the summers in places where climate control is either too expensive or unavailable for people (same with theaters). Likewise, just having a large availability of stores and a place to put the kids (or just to meet in general) is still really important. Older folk also enjoy walking the mall as it's a large and safe area (also climate controlled).

So basically, it still has some functions in society beyond being representative of general economic health.

Yes. The process of filing taxes in the US for citizens living abroad is complicated enough that it warrants hiring an accountant. This is a few hundred bucks whether you end up owing tax or not. Additionally, there is a mandatory filing of foreign bank accounts called FBAR. This is a real pain in the butt as the process is cumbersome.

All in all, I waste one day of productivity per year because of the IRS and FBAR filing requirements. I don't have to pay any tax.
Have you tried using fastspring? Its expensive but seems to allow serving both indian and other country cards. Also if u open a export account (forgot what its called, but basically an account with an indian bank where u can deposit in $ or any specified currency), then fastspring can deposit the money there. You can then transfer it to ur rupee checking account at anytime and dont think u need any FIRC there. This is what we did a few years back for my startup (based in India), but not sure if things have changed recently.

How so? NATO expanding to Poland and the Baltic countries is more of a perceived threat to Russia and its own colonial aspirations rather than an actual military threat.

In my opinion losing economic influence is what Russia should really be worried about. With Poland and the Baltic countries becoming part of the EU they not only gradually lost influence on these markets but the potential access to the larger European market those provided as well.

These issues certainly can't be seen separately. On a global scale economic prosperity often is connected to strategic power. However, it might be beneficial to Russia (not necessarily Russian politicians, though) to, instead of considering these questions in terms of national grievances, proactively seek more trade deals and economic cooperation. In the 1990s even Russia becoming part of the EU wasn't that far out.
That's an interesting question. How is a mall closing a problem provided that people are still buying things, albeit from a different company to the one they bought from before?

If money continues to move around the system, surely this is something that looks like an economic indicator, but is really more of a cultural shift. (Separately there could well be economic problems with the decline of manufacturing etc.).

Are shopping malls somehow deeply rooted in the American psyche? Watching US movies from the 80's and 90's might suggest that they are...
I don't think a tl;dr like this is appropriate for this one, because it leaves out the best bits. I mean, this is a very long writeup, and you're condensing it to 7 sentences. For example, the interesting part is not that deadlines don't work, but why they don't work. And I feel like the "why" is missing from a lot of advice on methodology: Everybody talks about how, but why are we supposed to do these things in the first place? And maybe we can learn something while trying to find answers to these questions.

I've only read half of it, but I liked it a lot. What about you? Did you like it? Why?
Cool, yes, one use case: you can stick document hashes in to the block chain to prove document state at some point in time. This no doubt has legal uses, and perhaps scientests too although I think less so.

It seems like you are arguing against stupidity, not ignoring empirical evidence. Does anyone with an half a functional brain think all Roma are criminals or the alternative that if a dozen Roma children descend on them on the street that they are just wanting to say hello?

I try to treat everyone as an individual, but when I don’t have the opportunity to do this I have no choice but to fall back on my life’s experience. Sometimes this means I avoid people I wouldn’t if they looked or acted differently, but I have no desire to be a victim to prove a point.
Not with Bitcoin.

Satoshi designed the supply to rapidly mint the majority of coins to the smallest group of users for the least amount of effort/capital/work input.

It's designed to manipulate any user who joins the system after you.

Satoshi could easily have chosen a linear curve to align with time, user growth, and increase in work input yet instead the manipulative log curve was chosen.

Old users are now incentived to attempt to psychologically exploit new people by selling the asset for far more than the cost of production or acquisition.

Exactly. I do live in a country bordering Russia and we have been occupied by it twice during the last two hundred years. NATO is seen as the only way to keep our independence. Look and Georgia and Ukraine know -- both these countries started in a similar position as we after the breakup of USSR, the key difference was that they haven't joined NATO and/or EU.
I actually explained "how so" in my post, not sure what extra details you want:

A. At a personal level: do I need to go into details how being presumed "by default" to be non-trustworthy and potentially a criminal/thief can seriously impact your lifetime opportunities?

B. At a group level: the instinctual response to criminals is to avoid &"isolate" them; this creates ghettos. It doesn't help that they also have a tendency to auto-isolate themselves. I fail to see how this response is any of help towards actually solving the problem (well, short of the "final solution", I guess, if you're willing to seriously consider that).

Nostalgia and community. It was the one place 2-3 generation would gather at for events and shopping. As these break up and go away we see our childhood and teens go away with them. Finally its blight.

These empty husks tend to take the surrounding communities down with them. It can take decades to get them either resold or at least demolished. They invite homeless people and gangs. There's an abandoned mall in Cleveland, Oh that usually has about 4 bodies found in it a year. But its stuck in court because the city doesn't want to take on cost of back taxes.

I live in Germany too but I still fail to see where you get your assessment from. What are those "other" governments you are talking about? AfD and die Linke coalition? Because they are the only ones who have problems with NATO and love Russia. Both are far away from being even considered seriously in day to day business and their ties to Russia are a topic for itself.

> Contrary to every evidence Russia is seen as a victim by large parts of the population.

Do you seriously believe Russia would be seen as a victim when it invades another country? Seriously? By whom? AfD? And how would that new invasion look like to you? People welcoming the Russian Freedomfighters? Do you thing there would be no dead people there?!

And why should it be seen positively when the invasion in Ukraine has not been seen positively while the sanctions against Russia are seen positively: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/292793/umfrag... even though Germany is among those who are hurt by those sanctions.

> With Crimea, South Ossetia, Abkhazia etc. etc. Russia doesn't look like the weak party to me.

Please don't kid yourself. Most people here don't even know where this is and their illegal involvement in Ukraine made them the evil guy for a long time. It did not help them at all and it doesn't help your point at all.

Has the label cyberpunk ever been applied to something that wasn't a dystopian nightmare?

The closest I can think of is the original Dracula, a story about a group of young, tech savvy people using all the latest gadgets, networks and information technology to fight off a threat to the urbanized world. But that is not often identified as cyberpunk and what it lacks in dystopia it certainly makes up in nightmare.
What would that bilateral agreement look like without the organisation just being a wing of NATO though?

The point I got from the GP is that Russia has a massive military force such that any large scale invasion would inevitably go nuclear because NATO is incapable of fielding the conventional force to counter it.

If the Eastern/Central European countries formed their own organisation, unless they could invoke NATO Article 5, how are they supposed to counter the size of the Russian military any more than NATO can?

A multilateral agreement which establishes relationships between the “Eastern Europe Treaty Organisation” and both sides seems like a better idea, but hindsight’s always 20/20 (and those states might not appreciate being treated as a buffer zone…).

Wider sentence spacing certainly predates the typewriter, but the question then was not "how many spaces" but "how much space".

Someone writing by hand obviously does not count a discrete number of spaces, and a cold-metal typesetter has a wide variety of spaces available: they might use a one-and-a-half-en space (either a single piece of type or an en space followed by a half-en space) or an em space.

It must have been the introduction of the typewriter that brought the idea of "two spaces" instead of "wider space".

Google gives two definitions for "semantics". The first one, "the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning", clearly matches the common usage of "It's semantics": it's primarily about words and definitions, and how they relate to the concepts they refer to. The second is "the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text". I guess that makes sense as a microcosm of the whole field of study, in the same sense that people talk about "the physics of a situation" (say, involving two hard balls bouncing off each other) as how the general study of physics applies to that situation.

It happens that, with programming, explaining precisely how each part of a program corresponds to "meaning" (and there are different levels and dimensions of precision, e.g. "xs.append(x) means it'll add object x onto the list xs" vs "xs.append(x) means it'll look up the value of the symbol 'xs' in the lexical environment and then the global if necessary, and do the same for x, and then look for xs's attribute hash table for a key named 'append'..." vs "xs.append(x) means it'll check if the array backing the list has room for one more element, and, if not, look for a free block of the right size in its freelist, and, if not, use 'mmap' to grab more memory from the OS, and barf if that fails, and then copy the array data into a new array of twice the size, and free the old array...") also gives a precise description of the behavior of the program (assuming hardware perfectly obeys the abstractions it's meant to obey), which is all the programmer is interested in.

This is a field where machines reliably turn symbols into actions; hence, the meanings of symbols are the central object of study. Semantics are extremely important and are almost all we need to think about. This is not the case in most fields. (I guess one other profession that comes to mind where semantics is important is law.)

To bring it back to your original question... yes, semantics is important to us. If we want to call something unimportant in that way... "It's a matter of definition" or "We're arguing over definitions" strikes me as the best fit.

(One other distinction: Programming language terms have semantics for machines. They also have semantics for humans. Whether the computer recognizes something as a closure, or complains about a syntax error or executes something completely different, is very important. Whether human programmers call it a "closure", a "function", a "procedure", or some other term, is generally unimportant. Thus, the maximally correct dismissive comment might be something like, "It's human semantics".)
