I think one of the big problems is that most people's retirement money gets pumped into the stock market to purchase shares on the SECONDARY market. When people buy shares on the secondary market, companies never see any of that money. But when companies sell shares directly to the public through the primary capital markets, that money can be invested to produce NEW goods and services which create economic GROWTH. The whole point of a stock market is for companies to raise money from the public to produce new goods and services and generate economic growth, but in reality companies are doing very little of this. In fact, they often do the OPPOSITE! Instead of raising capital by issuing new shares, companies burn their earnings buying back existing shares from the public. It's insane! Economists in the future will look back in amazement and wonder how we could have possibly been so stupid.

I cannot disagree with your point. But we still have a lot of people who refuse to get information from propaganda sources. And this is a good sign. I hope we will get even better in this in the future and there will be more freedom in media.

> In order to be able to tell if you need Redux or not for a project, you need to know Redux

Not according to the creator of Redux. His advice is "Instead learn to think in React. Come back to Redux if you find a real need for it, or if you want to try something new. But approach it with caution, just like you do with any highly opinionated tool."

https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...

> too many developers overestimate their intelligence and write awful code because they didn't take the time to learn well the tools

No argument there. You do have to go through the entire official tutorial, and I would also recommend the article "Thinking in React", that Dan Abramov referenced above. https://reactjs.org/docs/thinking-in-react.html

I'm not claiming your experience with awful code isn't real, I'm sure it is. But is it because React is difficult to learn? When I learned React I was already good at JavaScript. And I had already learned Angular. Angular took me over a month to start to feel comfortable, and I still felt like I was stumbling around in the dark. The Angular API is very big. With React I was writing code, and code that I still use, within days. And I felt comfortable that I mostly knew what I was doing. When my code got a little more complex, I took a few hours to read about and learn about Higher Order Components. And when I needed routing I taught myself React Router in one day, and began answering questions about it on StackOverflow shortly after. Did I take the time in each case to completely understand the API and is that different from what other devs are doing? Possibly. But the point is that the React API did not take me weeks to learn. It's a simple API and there just isn't much there to learn. The React lifecycle for example has less than a dozen methods. It's super simple. Maybe other devs do struggle with getting such a simple API internalized, or maybe they just didn't go through the entire tutorial carefully enough. With React Router I am constantly answering questions that have answers right in the documentation. So maybe what you are seeing is lazy programmers, not a difficult API. In any case, in the interest of not going around in circles here with a difference of opinion, my most important point was comparing the simplicity of learning a UI library (React) vs. a very complex framework like Angular. React was WAY more simple to learn in comparison. And it should be. It does far less. Fair?
Would much rather have them investigate first, so you can't just abuse spam reports to shut down people's servers.
Thats the conventional wisdom. It might work if your kids are in front of you every day crying, but if you are separated from them and have to maintain a mental picture of their need in the same brain, its a disaster.

There was a study done a while back basically demonstrating that following breaking news too closely actually resulted in a less accurate recollection of the facts. Turns out it’s difficult to forget compelling information even if it ultimately proves to be false (and you’re aware that it’s false).
Absolutely. They vote in numbers, they put money towards traditional media, and as such they have a lot of power.

Regardless of their "political" power, it'd just be a nice thing to do. Getting old sucks, and if Uber could do something as simple as making sure that an older person doesn't have to sacrifice their freedom then it's something a lot of people would get behind.

One thing they could do is assign a score to each insuree (and I guess they already do something like this) based on the number of past claims and likelihood there will be more.

Depending on that score they present more or less dark UI patterns to that user. Past a certain threshold they probably don't want to keep the insuree anyway, so if they switch it's still good for the insurer. They can calculate the likelihood the user will switch and how much the insurer will lose in premium, versus how much they'll win if they delay claims as much as possible.
The annoyance with that is you have to pre-define every element.

That's high-value in a language like Elm because you can refine element-generating functions (e.g. not allow children elements for empty elements), it's not really useful in a dynamically typed language.

Well, actually they made themselves a name for their quality products. And while everybody was busy minimizing their server usage in the advent of cloud computing, Hetzner worked on lowering the prices.

Therefore, they got an international reputation for delivering high quality for a cheap price.

This new offer looks very promising. I like the simple price model of 'pay per hour' + a fair 'maximum price per month'.

How about Demo day at the end of the YC program? When startups pitch their ideas on stage to a selected crowd of wealthy investors. I think it’s one of the main benefits of joining such a program. If I were to apply I’d mention the network as being the main reasons why but let’s honest, how does YC make millions of dollars since money isn’t what it’s all about? I do see the network value, but do you really need to join a prestigious MBA to start a business? For example, Ethereum raised 3700 BTC in the first 12 hours of their ICO with just a basic HTML page.

In order to invest in a startup (at least in the US), you need to meet the accredited investor standards. Less than 3% of US households qualify. You need to earn $200,000/year for the last 2 years.

That’s where I see ICO’s as a way to give everyone a chance.

I just realized I should have added more details to my original question ;)

Well, don't forget it's not just their own shows. It's been said Netflix's license payment is responsible for financing the $7m budget of Star Trek Discovery. Again, not their own show, but that's irrelevant for the point the parent is making (Netflix hasn't branched out into other content types and spends $7m per episode on video, but won't spend a similar amount on games).

That having been said, I don't really see the point for Netflix to pursue some kind of mini-steam play. Not a core competency and all...

Certainly not police departments or unions. They shoot first, never ask questions, and cover up for officers regardless of the circumstances of a shooting. The answer to "Was the officer justified in shooting this civilian?" is always, according to cops themselves, yes, irrespective of circumstances.
That's the disadvantage, too: you gotta use html! Where are the lispers to talk about how much better sexps are?

Which is a political goal at odds with the population.

Even Macron admitted that if the French were given the same vote as the British, they'd probably leave the EU[1].

Their tactic? Just avoid a vote. A small elite closing ranks and ignoring that EU citizens simply want trade union, not political union.

There's only so many times politicians can say "it's more complicated than you peasants understand, we must federalize!" before they get kicked out. Their hubris is bringing about the rise of the extreme right.

Europeans, as in the general populace, do not as a majority want to federalize. Federalization is one of those open conspiracies driven by a particular type of person who's completely out-of-touch with normal people.

> To what degree does income inequality, consumer debt, and rapidly rising barriers of entry to high-income fields contribute slowing GDP growth? Is there research and evidence on the subject?

I would say that a huge factor contributing to low growth in developed countries is the fact that, on a global scale, they're just very rich and for most businesses it makes more sense to develop in countries with much lower costs. I.e. the next 50 years will be about poor countries slowly catching up with the developed ones, not about developed ones getting even more ahead.

Android devices tend to lack a lot of Unicode characters for some reason. I typed the "rightwards two-headed triple dash arrow" (not used in Perl AFAIK, I just find the name funny for some reason) and it doesn't show up on my Android either. Another commonly missing character is schwa (ə), which is used quite a lot in IPA transcriptions, and I've seen accented Greek characters missing as well, so it's not like only very rare characters are neglected.

"How are the Data Centers connected to each other?

The two Data Center Parks are both connected to Frankfurt (FFM) and each other with dark fiber. Thus, a redundant loop is formed, which ensures the availability of a Data Center should one of the connections fail. The n10 Gbit/s connections provide ample bandwidth between the Data Centers.

The bandwidth of the connections between Nuremberg-Frankfurt, Nuremberg-Falkenstein and Falkenstein-Frankfurt are at least 120 Gbit/s. Through the Frankfurt location data is transported to the peering partners at DE-CIX and also to the uplinks Noris, GLBX, Aixit, AMS-IX, Init7 and Level3. At the Nuremberg location there are connections to Noris, KPN, Init7, Level3 and N-IX.

In each Data Center several Juniper EX Core switches, each with 64x 10 Gbit/s ports, are operated and bundle the streams of the Data Center to the n10 Gbit/s backbone and then over the various uplinks. "
