Online, each tribe inhabits its own filter bubble of partisan news. To blame this only on Facebook is unfair. If people wanted a range of views, they could install both rightwing and leftwing feeds on their Facebook pages — The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian, say. Most people choose not to, partly because they like living in their tribe. It makes them feel less lonely.

I'm fortunate to live close to one of their distribution centers. I regularly get things same or next day.

When I use other resellers online it takes upwards of a week to get things. For the few situations where they're less than amazon, their shipping fees and shipping times lose the sale.

Fedex seems to go out of their way to sit on packages. UPS, on the other hand, seems to go to extra lengths to get packages through their system as quickly as possible, regardless of shipping type. As in, things ordered UPS Ground regularly get here in 2 days. Fedex, though, when they say a week, it'll damned well be 7 days.

Well, we all know that the google services are pretty convenient, but the problem is much less their functionality as the things 'you have to do' in order to use them, like:

- load all your images on their servers

- load all your documents on their servers

- load all your mails on their servers

- load all your contacts on their servers

- load all your appointments on their servers

- load all your...

That way it is completely non-transparent what they are doing with your data. I mean for every app on our smartphone we have a detailed list of permissions, but for google its just 'take it all'?!?

People can list any number of things: reactive behaviour, complexity of tasks, programmability, autonomy, anthropomorphic design (in part or whole). But really, whether we call it a robot or a generic machine depends on which probabilistic impulses any given instance trigger on the average person using the language. The criteria differ from person to person, the activation levels differ too, and the probability distribution can change over time also. The word is a cultural artifact and has no real meaning other than its relations with concepts in people's brains. Unlike, say, the word "two": that has very precise meaning independent of cultural concepts.

There are also times where it's not really a choice. I interned in a town of 1200 which hosted the only traffic light in the county and was 30 minutes away from a city of 30,000. Production was 4 10's, but turned into 5 10's when things were booming, and then an extra 4 hours on Saturday. The only way to guarantee a weekend of was to take a vacation day on Friday.

They had a tough time hiring when it's booming. When the economy is good, good welders are in short supply everywhere (not just small towns). They pay sufficiently for living in the rural Midwest, the only way they can really get the work done is by working the hours.

My glasses would fog up on cold morning mountain bike rides. Aside from that, I put up with the scratches. What I wanted was the ability to wear sunglasses (and prescription sunglasses were too expensive). Eventually I got contacts after I had more financial resources. They were freeing and limiting at the same time. Almost not worth the hassle. But I could pick up any pair of sunglasses I fancied. Eventually I got Lasik. It is amazing. In years, there is not a day that goes by where I'm not impressed with the quality of my vision. No daily hassle and I see better than with any glasses or contacts.

Reasons why Vue will rock your socks off

- Don't need to know jsx!

- Sane way of scripting puts the script in an object and each component is <template>html</template> <script>javascript</script> <style>css</style>

- Event buses allow sharing of variables between child components without either redux or pushing variables down one child at a time (finally!)

- v-for looping is saner than reacts mapping

- v-if allows v-if statements without renderIf component or multiple render statements in react (antipatterns boo!).

- two way data binding with vue-model

- native vuex with an index file that holds state sanely, rather than just having state held in each reducer as done in react

- Great documentation!

- Yay !

There are tons of simple ways to get those files into any video or book reader you want. Using iTunes you could have loaded them into the app if your choice as well. Granted it would be nice if iTunes had defaults for which apps what files went to, but this is entirely eliminated using the files app, airdrop, cloud services etc.

In my lab experience, electronic lab notebooks were incredibly bloated, slow, and buggy to the point of being unusable. I’m most familiar with what was in place at Merck about 8 years ago: ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook). I agree with comments that the countersignature is both lax and absolutely necessarily from a records perspective. Most importantly, building a new lab notebook system would require importing data from whatever it is you’d be attempting to displace. Lab notebooks have significant roles in IP disputes, and it would be critical that the contents and timestamps are preserved.

To underscore how terrible ELN was at our site, many managers instructed their reports to keep traditional paper notebooks, photograph each page, and upload to an ELN entry. Countersignatures were then performed on the ELN platform. This was at a relatively small Merck site, and maybe the issue wasn’t as pervasive elsewhere.

Google photos is one of the most amazing and useful apps I’ve ever used. Being able to search on the contents of a photo is the first real 21st app that I’ve run across, in my opinion.

However I’ll never move to Android. I’ve tried it and it just isn’t as good as iOS. I’m not saying iOS is great but it’s ceetainly better in my opinion.

Things like FaceTime are very easy for my parents and relatives to understand vs something like Skype or google hangouts. Photostream sharing is also a very easy and intuitive way for me to share pics of the kids with my relatives as well.

The biggest thing for me, though, was the fact that iMessage and iPhone was uncrackable by the fbi. It’s a very public fight they had to keep our data secure.
In the short term I think we may see Bitfinex/Tether blow up pretty soon. Just this last week they printed around $500M in fake money to keep bitcoin prices from falling.

In other words none of their products are essential or irreplaceable the way Google and Apple products are to some people.

I think it's really the proper duty of everyone who understands to help protect intellectual freedoms. We don't need a popular cult of personality to make it work. His writings from 30 years ago are very relevant and prophetic even today, but like Ayn Rand people conflate the personality with the idea, an idea which stands on it's own merit when you separate it from Stallman.
However he is amusingly charismatic, my entire family still remembers him from an FSF picnic roughly 20 years ago. Thankfully his publicist intercepted my wife before he could really get into it, but my daughter (who was 3-4 at the time) still vividly recalls his explanation of why he couldn't swim under water (might forget to how to breathe upon surfacing). Also my family paid me the highest compliment by afterwards describing Stallman as being "just like daddy"...

Google has to be pretty careful, because all it takes is one whistleblower and even Donald Trump won't be able to evict them from the global news cycle.

I've been working on moving a lot of my data and services off the cloud and it's very hard even if you know what you're doing.

This isn't like renting more expensive cloud computing services, the cost is below $25USD a month.

A few ways:

- Asynchronous standups with Geekbot in Slack (https://geekbot.io/). Any shared doc will do here, really.

- Occasional demos over video chat of new functionality to internal teams. It helps that my entire team attends.

- Our API has a chatbot that we can use to query it, so I can show new features for that part of the infrastructure directly in our team channel.

- Ask people for code reviews, and rotate who you ask.

- Ask people to pair program with you over a screen share, or offer to pair with them.

It helps if your team is 100% remote. If it isn't, maybe talk with your team about trying to get people to be more disciplined about making decisions via chat or team meetings rather than only with the people in the office. One thing a few coworkers and I did when we were 3 out of 8 who worked in the office was catch everybody up on IRC whenever we had a side discussion. It's unrealistic to expect everything to happen over chat mediums with that kind of team, but something like that can help.

I know people love to shit on JS for being blisteringly fast, but does it really apply here?

All 3 of "the big 3" are over 4 years old, making all of them older than windows 10...

And of the notable category:

Aurelia: around 2014

Elm: around 2013

Inferno: around 2015

Polymer: 2014

Preact: 2016

ReasonML: 2016

Svelte: late 2016

So most a few years old. Yes, it's faster than older technology stacks, because the web is still evolving quite quickly, but it's not as blisteringly fast as many make it out to be.
I've watched network traffic from ghome for over a year now. It is not even remotely "always on". It's running updates and pushing voice to commands.

I was offered an iPad mini in 2012, decided to buy a MacBook Pro in 2013 and it ultimately led me to buy an iPhone a bit later and eventually an Apple Watch. I was very contented with it all.

It's 2018 and my iPhone is sluggish as hell. My Mac is really slow too, and I definitely believe that the price of those devices is really too high for the time they last. I couldn't resolve to get back to the big G, because I really care about my privacy.

After some research, I rented a VPS (2vCPU, 4GB RAM, 2TB disk for 11€/month) and installed a Nextcloud instance on it to backup my files and photos mostly.
I got back my old Nexus 5 and installed LineageOS without Google Apps nor MicroG (all I have installed on it comes from F-Droid, which rebuilds from source and signs the apk).

I can tell I'm much more satisfied with this set-up. I have to use an iPhone 6 at work, and it feels really silly that an older Nexus 5 is lightning fast compared to my iPhone 6. The latter keeps hanging and freezing all the time. Even simple tasks as text messaging or email consultation is a pain.
v-model is meant for use specifically with <input> tags, so your local component state stays synced with what the user sees. You can use it on components, but you're not meant to. In general, vue encourages you to avoid using two way data binding on custom components unless your component is a souped up input component, like a fancy date picker or something.

A couple recommendations for you:

Interviewing is a skill like any other, and it's worth practicing. I know it's not great to have to "play the game", but it'll help you greatly in your career. I recommend two things - programming contests (TopCoder, HackerRank, etc.), and practicing with friends - get a whiteboard and get your friends to interview you. Repetition is key.

Think of good answers to higher level questions. For example, "why do you want this job?".

Reflect on common patterns in your interviews. If you sit down and think about it, do you know why you aren't passing? Are you unable to solve some problems? Are you going slowly on the interview problems? Do people have trouble understanding you? Do you get in arguments? Do you struggle with the management sort of questions - i.e. "talk about a time that you had a disagreement with someone on your team"?

One good signal is to think of how many hints do interviewers typically give you? If it's one or two, that's typical, but when you find yourself getting 5+, it's usually a sign that you're doing poorly.

Some common problems that I've seen from candidates.

- Can't solve problems. Especially when people run in some direction without asking clarifying questions.

- Really messy code. Interview code isn't going to be great, but I've seen some really messy code.

- Slow movement. Sometimes I'll have a 3 part question, and candidates will spend the whole time solving the first part, often needing many hints.

- Lack of opinion. I've seen a lot of candidates that try to be agreeable, but just end up having no opinions. "What frameworks would you consider for monitoring?" "Oh, whatever is best. Monitoring is really important." This is really important for senior candidates.

- Lack of answers for the high level questions (again more toward senior candidates).
Q: "Talk about a time that you've had a disagreement with someone on your team?"
A: "Oh, I haven't really."
Q: "Ok, how about a time that you made a technical decision that you ended up regretting."
A: "I can't think of anything, we've made good choices."
Q: "What about a time that you've disagreed with a decision from senior management?"
A: "Got nothing."
Q: "What kind of software do you like working on?"
A: "Oh, anything really."

Please allow me to disagree :) Most larger pure-algo HFT prop shops are self-clearing, they are exchange members (possibly with more favorable fees due to market making) and don't use pbs, instead relying on their own co-located execution infrastructure and funding.
> Don't need to know jsx!

You don't need to know jsx for using jsx. You only need to know html. You do need to learn something more with vue, you said so yourself, those v-for, v-if directives.

> each component is html.file, javascript.file, css.file

I prefer to only have one file per component so that I can just "import Component" and use it. With 3 files I need to make sure all 3 of them get loaded. Disclaimer: I do not know how Vue works.

The rest sound interesting.
