Having done this for a client there’s a massive “rest of the owl” situation between steps 4 and 5. The transition to a component based architecture can be pretty hairy based on how cleanly things were implemented before, using isolated vs. inherited $scope’s, etc.

I suspect many companies were a bit too fast to adopt angular / react to begin with, so the real first step is to do an audit and make sure you need a SPA to begin with, over a simpler server-rendered site with progressive enhancement. Very, very few projects need the complexity that comes with react or angular.

As always best bet is to start with stupid simple and optimize desire paths based on real world use.

All of YC's original investment software was written in Arc, though it has been gradually factored out into other systems.

We use it for a browser extension that helps a lot with moderation work. And for general experiments. If I do something more ambitiously new it will probably be in Arc.

And what line was that? Are you exaggerating the description of the beating or not? Not sure if you actually know what it looks to actually see someone getting beaten to death, and I'm not sure what justification there could be to do that to someone unless they continued to pose a threat to you until the very end of the fight.

A million upvotes if I could.

I also had a similar experience. (53 people in my HS graduating class, with a high school population of approximately 200.) While I have no reason to believe that the school wasn't trying their best, the fact is that the school just didn't have the same academic opportunities as other schools.

My parents made it clear that I was going to go to college, because neither of them did. They gave me every opportunity they could. We went to museums. They sent me geek camp so I could be around other college bound kids. Had me take classes at the local junior college over the summer. We weren't poor, but these opportunities certainly weren't cheap.

What strikes me looking back at my high school graduating class is how few of them left. How few went to college. Of my friends at my high school, maybe only 2 moved away, and I don't even know how many went to college. Maybe six. It's really sad. 20 years later, and find them still working as a cashier at Walmart. I just did not expect that. I honestly expected everyone would scatter. They just didn't.

Conversely, the friends I made at geek camp (which were also all similar rural kids) all went to college, and scattered across the country. They also all have good jobs with advanced degrees.

Parents are probably the biggest factor in deciding a child's success. And quite frankly, all too often rural parents simply don't value education. It's all the same sterotypes we've heard. "Big cities are scary." "You'll turn into a muckity muck." "College is for brainwashing." Even as simple as, "You shouldn't leave all of us."

I often flip back to a feature in the local paper about graduating kids[0], and what strikes me more than anything is about how everyone in the article is down on education and leaving. Even one of the students that went to college intentionally aims low, and then even lower.

I've been there, and I just don't have a lot of sympathy for these people. It's a self-destructive culture.

Mental models are just one element of intelligence, but the latest issue is internal symbolic representation. What is a "friend" beyond the textbook definition and a selected label on a person? The general direction of a solution is through a body-mind connection with similar sense feedback that is given experience similar to how a person is raised. It's through experience, sense, socialization, and language/modeling that we act as intelligent actors in the world.
Maybe the United States does have a mental health issue — maybe we should pay attention more to how college-aged men and women mature.

I have read some stories during the year without Internet in Xinjiang.

In fact people can still connect to local network then, they just disconnected the link from province level ISP to Internet.

Some young mans built local websites provides movie, softwares downloads, news and bbs inside the LAN. They travels to nearest town outside Xinjiang every week by train, download new resources in net bar, bring them back in hard disk and update their websites. Nobody knows how long will the disconnection last and somebody prepared to maintain the LAN from long years. It makes me recall 20 years ago I access contents on Internet through CD-ROM in magazines.

In the end, the Internet recovered and these websites soon disappeared.
I would argue drones are mostly commodities at this point.
I was just looking at this. 5% of "users" (it depends how you define a user who isn't logged in) last month were in SV. A third were in the US, a third in Europe, 8% in Canada/Australia/NZ, 6% in India, 3% in China.

That is the distribution of everyone who hit the site last month at all, regardless of how much they used it. If we weight the numbers by the number of days they used HN, then US has 44%, Europe 33%, Can/Aus/NZ 8%, India 3%, China 2%. And Silicon Valley is 8%. That's surprisingly low, given how many people assume that HN == SV.

> "The real opposition came from some of the neighbors. A community meeting in January 2016 served as something of a flashpoint.

At the meeting, one woman fretted that the tall building would violate the privacy of a nearby public school. Another argued that the project needed to be 100 percent affordable housing.

When Tillman said he saw his project as necessary so people like his daughter could afford to come back and live in the city, one particularly motivated activist said she wished his daughter was killed in a terrorist attack."

No, Node is a runtime for javascript code, using the same V8 engine from the Chrome browser. It is similar to the JVM runtime for Java code and the CLR for C#, although of course there is no intermediate compilation step for javascript.

A webserver is one of many things that can be run using Node+JS, the point being that it's an entire runtime and can do pretty much anything any other language can do.
I did not read it as if it could not be made with underlying "standard machine learning methods"

It is about moving in the concept ladder. From how do i learn "this" to how do i learn generically. What is the concept of a problem. What are the concepts of a solution. What is between them, where should i look.

I have a theory that moving in the problem hierarchy of the world is the key to what we call intelligence. Smarter people can jump up and down the hierarchy without major issues, and less gifted people often get stuck at some level and can't see beyond the hill. They may not even recognize that there is a hill. And if they recognize the hill, they can be uninterested in climbing it, as it would require to much work.

Excellent, open access genome-wide association study here: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

No SNP was significant, nor any single gene. MAO-A (the "warrior gene") is ruled out. However, many genes showed strong association with Anti-Social Personality Disorder, with multiple alleles working together.

My read is that these behavior patterns emerge in certain brain phenotypes, combinations of which were advantageous in antiquity. But much of that genetic information was stored as allele distribution, and we've lost a lot of that data with generations of assortative mating.

Hi. Female in STEM here.

>The fact is it’s harming people as a whole and talented women aren’t being treated fairly.

What do you mean by this? Talented women aren't being treated fairly? Every girl has the option to choose a STEM field, but most don't. Nonetheless, women are in the majority for general enrollment at universities in Canada [1] (and I believe it is the same in the US). At my university in Alberta, we have numerous clubs, organizations, and programs supporting women going into STEM fields-- not including government-sponsored advertisement campaigns to encourage the choice for STEM. Around the world, there are countless organizations created to support and encourage women going to STEM [2], never mind various campus-specific programs and clubs especially in North America.

I don't really see how women are being harmed. Maybe most women don't want to go into STEM. Maybe the biology argument is valid? Even if it's not, where is the harm, exactly?

When quoting me, you changed my wording to suit your own argument, which seems to imply you get my point but are choosing to ignore it.

I'd say a decentralized mesh network is a step in the right direction, but if there's spyware on all the phones; that doesn't help as much.
This looks like a premature assessment. The problem with voting systems are many, and so are the benefits and ways to apply blockchain tech. There are other examples in different comments already, but the most glaring prematurity here sounds like some sort of comparison being made to crypto currency. I honestly don’t understand why you’re doing that or the point you’re making.

For one other example so far unmentioned, mere distribution of public keys (not reliance on them) along with open source decentralized blockchain is grounds for verification far beyond what we have now, which lingers near the zero mark. Why would we complain about that?

"Western viewpoint" is creating more problems than solutions and behind that there is fear of capitalist losing business and control over world affairs. Its not human rights in China or anything else, if that was the case the recent wars in Middle East might not have erupted and have been diffused with much sense of urgency and political acumen than supplying arms to rebels and wipe-out humanity on their way of interests. Democracy, human rights and all these terms are just fancy words to get financial and political advantage over weaker countries or adversaries. We do not need to be all democratic nations or republics to prosper intellectually and spiritually or in any other domain.West and Western people should stop now teaching other countries about human rights and democracy after what we have seen on global stage.
Maybe the X-factor is simply that having more stimulating experiences and environments makes us more enriched as individuals? I.e, instead of life experiences consisting of three parts - toddler, school , work for 50 years, one gets to add a fourth component and another identity building phaze between school and work. I could believe that.

Although, with this argumentation, one could simply change university with some other novel experience, like military service.

Not sure about psychopaths (I imagine they fit in there somewhere) but as a less extreme version the complainers and confronters and grudge holders of this world do those of us who are less confrontational some service at times.

I tend to think of "social enforcement" as a sort of commons good. It often doesn't benefit the person doing it that much but overall it helps keep everything balanced.

Someone cuts in line? I'm the kind of person who would usually let it go because well, maybe they're having a bad day. And is it actually worth getting worked up about? Say it's an older lady and maybe she's rude but is it worse to get in an argument with her?

There are some people in this world who will really not let that stuff go. I am glad I'm not one of those people but in many ways I am also glad that those people exist, even if I find myself on their bad side once in a while.

I suppose there are some people who would simply call this assertiveness and describe it as an unmitigated positive. But it's really quite exhausting to do on a continuous basis unless you have the personality for it. I think of it as a boundless capacity to "sweat the small stuff" and I am actually glad that some people have it.

About re-education camps and imprisonment for being critical of the government.

Horrible acts are occasionally better than the alternative, if you think of the number of lives lost compared to the number of lives saved.

I am not sure that these actions by the Chinese government are perfectly justified by this argument. But I think it's possible. Often, governments fall and civil wars start from a tiny spark of seemingly innocuous political dissent that grows out of control. I am sure you'll find many examples of that in history.

The stability of Chinese society, just like the stability of any modern society, is always hanging on a thread. You may just not realize it because you (I hope) live in a country that is not drowned in blood. A small problem can easily grow into a disaster, and then no one can stop it -- look at Yugoslavia, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, Libya, Sudan, Congo, Liberia, Georgia (ex-USSR). And these are just the ones I remember watching live, in disbelief.

About organ harvesting.

From what little I read about it, prisoners may be executed, and their organs given to people who need them for medical reasons. I assume you're not against organ transplantation, since that saves lives at no cost to their original (dead) owner. So I assume you're only against the execution of prisoners.

Opinions on capital punishment vary, even in the US. What's viewed as fair and just penalty in California or Florida, has been viewed as unreasonable cruelty and violation of human rights in Maine for well over a century. Of course you're right that in the US, most people would not be ok with executing people for political views (except state treason), and even less so if the execution is timed to make their organs available to others. However, I think you could allow a larger difference of accepted practices between two completely different countries than between states of the US.
