Exactly! I don't know, but I've always found that disgusting. It turned me off React when I first saw it, and it still does.

Then people use it to defend react, and I'm just like 'Lolwut? Did we spend years learning that SOC is a good thing only to throw it out of the window?'

I'll be the first to admit that any Vue template quickly becomes soup as well, but at least it's only half of the soup.

Is it just younger developers that think React is the best thing since sliced bread?

Here is another UFO incident from another country (Belgium) with multiple corroborating observations and very high acceleration/deceleration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave

The evidence includes:

1. Statements by thirty different groups of witnesses, three separate groups of police officers, documenting the sight of a large object flying at low altitude. An estimated 13,500 people on the ground saw the object, of which 2,600 filed written statements describing in detail what they saw.

2. Detection on radar of the object from two F-16 Fighter jets scrambled to intercept the object

3. Secondary detection of the object from ground radar at a nearby military airfield

4. Data from the F-16s suggesting near impossible maneuvers. Quoting wikipedia:

"During the first radar lock, the target accelerated from 240 km/h to over 1,770 km/h while changing altitude from 2,700 m to 1,500 m, then up to 3,350 m before descending to almost ground level – the first descent of more than 900 m taking less than two seconds. Similar maneuvers were observed during both subsequent radar locks. On no occasion were the F-16 pilots able to make visual contact with the targets [NB: it was around midnight hence poor visibility] and at no point, despite the speeds involved, was there any indication of a sonic boom."

5. A low quality photo, which may have been faked.

With regards to the evidence presented, I find it very difficult to come up with a convincing explanation of this incident.

As someone who is alone, yes, I get lonely. Everyone who wants for more gets lonely, and it isn't necessarily a compliment -- it applies to idiots as well as geniuses and everyone in between.
I invented a few terms for it, Latency Sensitive or Hyper Sensitivity. I thought I was having this weird latency intolerances that not many ones has, turns out I am not alone.

Most test and site you play seems to show our maximum response rate to click at somewhere between 200ms to 300ms, with most scoring 250ms+ range. And yet we can still feel the difference. And this latency problem sometimes causes me breathing and heart beat problems when things dont align with what I expected to in response time. Sometimes doing things too quickly isn't always the best option either.

It is the same with Apple's Retina Display, 20/20 eyesight, viewing distance etc, but given those condition you can still feel the difference between a 300ppi and 400ppi.

And the iPad ProMotion is really buttery smooth, it still isn't perfect though, I am not sure what frame rate do we need to a point where we cant tell the difference.

I wish latency are taken more seriously in UX and design. Hopefully Apple will lead the pack again.

While both the incident and the program are interesting enough to warrant further inquiry (let alone declassification), the kind of organisations that Elizondo is associated with, do not make him sound credible.

This is "To The Stars" association, cofounded by him and Tom DeLonge: https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/#how-we-work. A promise to invent "beamed energy propulsion" and "advanced electrogravitic propulsion" already makes me scratch my head. I see that there are lots of retired top brass there, like the former head of Skunk Works. There is Gary Nolan, who diligently analysed the so-called "Starchild" skull to conclude that it's probably nothing special. But then, there is Hal Puthoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_E._Puthoff), of the Stargate ("Men who stare at goats")
and "zero-point energy" fame. Finally, while there is nothing wrong with DeLonge as a musician, the pairing of a UFO enthusiast musician and former DC functionaries does not make a lot of sense.

I mean... at this point Elizondo is offering one short video with the clarity of a Rorschach test, and extraordinary claims.

The figures at the top of the To The Stars page guarantee there will be more coverage on the topic.
I think its that real world experience with someone who had an addiction in your life that will change your worldview - my father is an opioid addict, and an alcoholic - and frankly, he managed to have both of these habits for 50 years and hold down a job, make a living, and (sort of) raise a child. He wasn't there when I was a kid - but I know he did the best job he knew how - even if it wasn't enough - and I can't fault him for it. Same with my mother, who was left emotionally kinda broken by her own childhood.

I've know many current and former addicts in my life - and I don't look at it as a character failing at all - its just an unfortunate luck of the draw when it comes to biology, genetics, and life experience.

I'm not concerned about aliens, as much as I am concerned about all the hype we are experiencing recently related to extra-terrestrials.

For decades government came short of making fun of people who believed in "green man from outer space" ... now all of sudden all this hype in media makes me wonder... is someone in gov capable of pulling strings on taxpayers' dollars are preparing some huge tax bill to shove in peoples faces, [call it for example AARA (Affordable Alien Research Act)] just to find another reason to take more from tax payers pockets? Otherwise I don't get all this fear-mongering... anyone?

Merry Christmas to HN
Hi HN,

With Europe running ahead of US (but behind Asia, hi!) let me wish you all a Merry Christmas. My hopes are none of us feel alone these days but if you do share it here and have the beautiful HN community send you a warm reply.

Count your blessings, sing your Christmas carols, open your gifts, and make a wish under the Christmas tree. May you have a Merry Christmas!
At a federal level, I wonder if cannabis will first move down to Schedule II or lower, or if it'll just skip straight to legalized/decriminalized, whenever that happens
The URL is misleading. That isn't the actual EULA from 2009. You can verify that with archive.org. Even if you don't trust archive.org, the reference to "blockchain" would be anachronistic. There were no publicly available bitcoin GPU miners in 2009, and blockchain was typically written as two words.

Didn't someone point out in the thread for that, that backing up would've technically been breaking the law?
I guess this is for the individual to answer but my question to you is: would you wish something like this on your parents or older relatives?
I don't see what the problem is. You think that if your neighbors are replaced by luxury condos that your house being one of the few single family homes on the block is going to go down in price?

Like, do you think if they bulldozed Manhattan to a big lawn that would make the price of the brownstones and single family homes actually worth more?

Your house would be millions more if your neighbors were allowed to develop to build market rate housing. People want the price per unit to go down by building more density. That means each lot will be worth more since you can replace it with more units. You own a home that's on a lot. You win financially if people are allowed to build. Think about how much a developer would offer you or your kids for your home after you don't need it if they're allowed to actually build. You'd be leaving your kids a fortune.

It’s basically hell on earth if you’re there at the wrong time. Imagine an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant that is pretty much nothing but a big salad bar plus a small selection of soups and sides. That sounds good to me, but the unfortunate reality is that it’s a magnet for very large families with lots of small children, and pathologically cheap people who can’t resist the all-you-can-eat aspects.

Imagine a cross between Sizzler, Hometown Buffet, and a middle school cafeteria, but focused on salad. Make it really crowded, but what empty tables exist seem to always be dirty and unbussed. Sprinkle with unsupervised children running around and randomly touching the food in the buffets. Mix in crowds of very slow people who enjoy standing in everyone’s way while they slowly investigate every single item in whichever buffet you’re interested in, and once they finally decide what to get you have to watch them slowly make a salad by painstakingly picking out one piece of lettuce at a time as if they were performing brain surgery.

It’s probably OK if you go there during whenever their downtime is, but I have no idea when that is or if such a time even exists in the Sweet Tomatoes dimension. But if you don’t mind crowds and germs and value optimizing your money:mass ratio for food above literally every other possible consideration, it’s great! But even then I wouldn’t dream of using the restrooms there- the person you responded to is clearly far braver than me.

Ask HN: Does the Android phones are slowed down over time as well?
Well, ssh sometimes certainly feels sluggish to me. If you have your aliases configured and are typing at a high speed, you should be basically limited by your fingers.

Terminal use at this level of focus, is inseperable from thinking. You do not think to compose a command nor contemplate to move your fingers to type and execute, it just happens.

Therefore I think latency is also severely important at the terminal level.
Dude.

I quit sugar and it was literally a non issue, I barely noticed. Since then I've gone on and off at various times and it has never taken any willpower to speak of.

Smoking, otoh? A horrible, personality deforming withdrawal.

Drinking? A pernicious little voice in my head that pops up at the worst moments.

I've been reading all your comments on this thread and I think you are really on to something, and I think you are right that the way people talk about the steps required for change is flawed.

I do think though, that if you want to spread your insight to as many people as possible, an effective element would be to deliver your message with the explicit acknowledgement and context that the subjective experience of all of these things varies dramatically from individual to individual.

This might hone down the relevant ideas to just the ones that apply to many other people.

If you can distinguish your unique experience from the universal aspects you can craft a message that might help a large population.

But no, not everybody finds sugar more addictive than cocaine.
It's rare for people to act that way about cocaine, despite it's reputation.

Please be more specific. What is not true? That it is slower or that this is not the end of the world?
Could be for you, but have you wondered if React was say way slower than Angular and heavier, the adoption would have been much much lower?. Agreed, the model that React brought is superior but the catalyst was performance. They even highlighted performance as the main selling point with introducing the virtual dom, where the computation (dom querying) happens not in the dom but in the javascript, which is arguably faster and only differential updates are applied to the actual dom.

In my friend circle everyone wanted/were using Angular.js but it was too heavy for actual production use while react showed much better performance in the benchmarks (almost closer to Dom).

I stopped reading right there. No Rubist or actually nobody, except real time system developers, should care about ownership.

It makes programming so much more complicated without any real benefit, again apart from real time systems.

Zoning is not a property right in California Law, and community governance is not purchased through home ownership. Tenants and "live in owners" have the same amounts of votes in the system, 1. What you are describing, the enfranchisement of voters in a political system through land ownership is actually feudalism.
16,946,489 terrahashes per second right now for the BTC network. According to some website I found you can get an ASIC that does 4.73 Terrahashes for $500. That means you'd need 17638182 TH/s at least to get 51% hashpower. That means you'd have to buy 3,729,003 of those $500 miners which would cost $1,864,501,313.80. Let's double that and call it 3.6 billion for facilities and energy costs. So yes, totally possible for a government to create a cluster with 51% of network power if they chose to. I imagine there would be pushback against spending billions to destroy people'a assets though.

The only redeeming feature of Xiaomi phones is the price. It feels cheap in the hand, design is a very detailed rip-off of the latest iphone, software is horrid, hardware is unreliable (shaky gps, loose sim cards, etc.), battery life is mediocre.

Option 3, intelligent life that builds a civilization is not common in the universe, so they want to study us. Much the same way we study great apes or dolphins.

In that case, they might want to observe us without interfering to see how we behave naturally. Or maybe they have a sort of prime directive. Or maybe they realize that if they interact with us and expose us to their level of technology, we might destroy ourselves given the level of conflict and violence we're still prone to.

Prop 13 is an excellent point, and specific to California. I can’t imagine how different the housing situation would be without it. Maybe a little different, maybe a lot, but certainly better for almost everyone in the big picture.
You do it as a 18 month rolling window - if the property has been empty for 9 months out of the 18 month rolling window, the penalty should apply, in addition there could be relief triggers based on both local, citywide and regional occupancy, if local occupancy was below a certain level (business close because of prolonged construction, or a crime issue, of if there was a city wide vacant windows problem the penalty could be waived by the city.

I'm not sure if such a policy would help, it could act as something tantamount to rent control - but its not hard to make a policy in such a way that it wouldnt have a negative feedback loop.
state law overrides local law. These battles are not going to be won by exclusionary wealthy communities willingly opening the gates, its going to be done by the state blowing the gates open. See the past year, bills like SB167 (Ability to sue for units denied at planning commision that are zoning/code compliant)sb 166 (making sure cities are up to date with their RHNA targets)and SB35 (bypassing local planning for zoning compliant projects).

That's not how it works. Placing an order does not change the price, it only adds it to the book of orders. If the order executes (a buy and a sell orders are matched), then that's the current price.

That's where author's theory makes little sense. It's quite expensive to sell to yourself. Even if you're a high-volume trader on GDAX, you pay 0.1% on each executed trade. So you make 400 trades, you lose half of your money to the fees.

> or the news is mad with false reports about social media causing depression

Not necessarily false, but out of proportion with the quality of available evidence. Blowing preliminary or otherwise limited results way out of proportion is a routine problem with science stories in the popular news media, to the point that one journalist/scientist published a (real but intentionally flawed) troll study specifically to demonstrate how bad the problem is [1].

Basically, the popular news media is a pretty poor source for new scientific findings, especially for anything that relates lifestyle to health.

I think I agree with your argument that we should discourage foreign speculators, but I would go further by adding that we should discourage domestic speculation as well, so I think I disagree with your apparent argument that you deserve your own house’s appreciation. The market should be designed to reward hard work and productive investments. Something is wrong if the rewards to speculation in scarce resources exceed the rewards to work. I believe this is a progressive-era concept from Henry George.

This means that hard-working people should be able to find opportunity when they come here, and the market shouldn’t reward speculators for sitting on land without making any improvements. Landlords should be rewarded for maintaining the building, and for constructing new housing, but not for appreciation on the land.

But the Bay Area housing market has seemingly been designed to do the opposite. Proposition 13 protects land speculation by limiting property taxes to a little over 1% of assessed value and rewards seniority through the the acquisition value pyramid scheme. It also encourages localities to raise funds through counterproductive development fees instead of broad-based taxes. And despite the strong economy, our rate of housing construction is far below past times and other cities. We have a housing market that rewards holding onto properties, allows landlords to capture wage growth, and discourages development. I would like to see this system change.

For your points about discouraging demand, I think I would agree at the national level but not at the local level. The federal government should encourage companies to locate in other cities. But localities have little power to do so. What local governments can do to discourage housing speculation is to increase land taxes and allow developers to flood the market with more housing.
Xiaomi dynamics are about as unpredictive of its future success as a given cryptocurrency's exchange rate. At least there's less buzz here.

Xiaomi has a reasonable average quality and a few consistently interesting product lines (I myself enjoy using Mi 5s and will probably change it for Mi 7), and a ton of... strange... gimmicks. When they were being enthusiastically buried by various news outlets, I didn't consider it a real thing, neither do I put any stock in this renaissance. I would be a little surprised if they go bankrupt in 5 years, somewhat less so if they displace Huawei. They already have earned a certain place in market.
