That's a good summary of the fragmentation and coupling in the build tools, but there's also the libraries themselves - React, Redux, React-Router, React-Router-Redux, etc etc.
Yeah we're getting all of the Zagat specific content, but there is loads of Google data that we won't have access to moving forward.

We'll continue to have a symbiotic relationship with Google from a data/content perspective, but being an external entity will limit us in some capacities.
I, at least, treat my web/ directory as an append-only FS.

my view on that is that isopropanol is less discriminate in it's toxicity that hydrogen peroxide. as mentioned above, our cells (but not those of bacterial that live without oxygen) have enzymes such as peroxidase, catalyase, and Superoxide dismutase which fight oxygen radicals(how peroxide works to kill cells). Granted as mentioned above, pouring peroxide on surely overwhelms this system to some extent, so some damage can occur perhaps slowing healing. Isopropanoal just 'drys-out' and denatures every thing it hits pretty much.

If they are using the data internally (e.g. for ML training), they can get away with not buying it. They already scrape every website in existence and feed their data to ML training algorithms, it's not like Google needs to pay for a data set just to use it internally.

Question/comment. One thing that was good about Zagat was that, at the risk of being snobby, it seemed to often have a better class of user-generated content than many other sites. It was curated to some degree of course. And, especially the the paper survey days, I expect the barrier to entry filtered out a lot of people who were presumably less interested in food generally.

Have you thought about this kind of thing and the type of user participation that you'll encourage?
Age? I'm a lifelong loner in a 'healthy sense', know plenty of people but could always pick when I wanted to do my stuff or meet people. At 30, I sort of became bored of my own company and now prefer to be with other people & forget about myself, it wasn't like this before. I'd just spend uncountable hours reading on everything and it really hooked me, reading, drawing, programming, learning history, documentaries... Like, everything. But I don't feel like this anymore, I think I dried my curiosity somewhat and have gotten fed up.

Research is pretty conclusive that to have tight friendships you need vulnerability to some degree

I have to admit I don't quite understand this sentence, especially how research might define a "tight friendship" and "vulnerability". Can you provide some information about said research? This topic interests me.
I admit to having the same grouchy thoughts about machine learning and AI: When is this fad going to blow over and we can all get back to writing deterministic programs instead of collecting data and training models, or whatever it is this new breed is doing?

I'm afraid I'm guilty of this type of re-invention myself. Having built a very large project using Redux, I decided to develop my own alternative, not just to Redux, but to Flux itself:

Experience of the occupation varied considerably, depending upon where one lived and one's social position. Many who lived in areas considered important to the war effort experienced torture, sex slavery, arbitrary arrest and execution, and other war crimes. Many thousands of people were taken away from Indonesia as forced labourers (romusha) for Japanese military projects, including the Burma-Siam and Saketi-Bayah railways, and suffered or died as a result of ill-treatment and starvation. Between four and 10 million romusha in Java were forced to work by the Japanese military.[22] About 270,000 of these Javanese labourers were sent to other Japanese-held areas in South East Asia, Only 52,000 were repatriated to Java, meaning that there was a death rate of 80%.

> billionaires launching cars into space

Can you help me understand the ire over that launch?

It's standard that new rockets are tested with a dummy payload to avoid destroying something valuable. Typically that's steel plates, but the Falcon Heavy was going to go up with a useless payload regardless. Saturn I-IV did the same, and V only had a payload because it was a module test and a launch test rolled into one.

I suppose the Tesla took up some extra man-hours fitting the car for launch, and the rocket wasn't aimed somewhere it would be destroyed (though I can't tell whether they usually are).

But seeing this spun as "SpaceX won't save us, they're just shooting cars into space!" is baffling to me; it was some personal wealth spent on adding spectacle to a totally normal rocket launch.
You are right, it's mostly password reset 2FA (often times it ties into auth SMS 2FA, so not necessarily mutually exclusive) - I will update the article and clarify that.
America as a whole does have a lot more remote areas. France only has one department with a population density of less than 10 per square kilometer according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_departments_by_...). Compare that to America and note all of the counties with a population density of less than 10 per square mile (https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/512popdn.pdf) -- and a square mile is a larger unit than a square km. Fiber absolutely might be cost prohibitive in certain areas.

I still agree with you, though, that America could do something if there was a strong enough will. Even if the cost of fiber is prohibitive, it seems like there are wireless technologies out there that would be better than the zilch broadband 23 million Americans currently have.

Oh man.

Remember that time Google shipped Chrome as an IE plugin? If you sent a magic header or had a magic meta tag, the plugin take over the entire content area, effectively transforming IE6 into Chrome.

Chrome-as-WebAssembly is a horrifying thought but somehow it still seems better than the thing that _actually happened_ when one player wants to move forward and another steadfastly refused.
They just bought Zagat in 2011, so selling it so quickly seems odd. It’s an undisclosed amount, so I assume it’s at a loss from its $151M purchase.

Buying Zagat seemed like it was Marissa Mayer's project, so when she left it is possible there was no longer a real champion of the Zagat acquisition left at Google.
It's one of the reasons why I stopped logging into Facebook and Instagram a year ago. I realized I wasn't actually feeling better having used it and that the friends I truly cared about kept in touch via instant messaging / email.
I wonder if metrics are not a conclusion to us.

We often see society as a problem, so more and more we try to loosen our need for it. We have more flexibility to move, now more flexibility to speak to people without having much ties with them. We don't have to care much or suffer them if we don't want to.

Maybe we're crossing a line of diminishing returns (if not the case for a while already).
> From what I have heard LA could support around one million people naturally along a very thin strip along the coast. Certainly not the number of people there now.

One million people at what level of resource efficiency? The efficiency of the 1970s, when washing machines used ~200L of water per load, and people watered their lawns with spray sprinkers, which would evaporate half the water before it touched the ground?

Or one million people using modern, water-conserving appliances, and, heaven forbid, not having evergreen lawns?

There's another way to tell: Switch to organic for the "dirty dozen" fruits and veggies[1] for three weeks. Then try conventional again. In my own experience I couldn't tolerate conventional anymore, and the difference is more than placebic: Headaches and yuck feeling.

Prove it for yourself.

[1]https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty_dozen_list.php

Also in my experience, organic tastes WAY better. For example I never liked the taste of conventional celery; some bitter aftertaste (pesticide residue?) and just bland. But organic celery really pops, with no aftertaste. Baby carrots are noticeably tastier as well. The difference is so stark I think I could validate these on a double-blind test any day.

This approach looks really similar to the VueX approach: synchronous reducers are mutations, and async effects are actions. Can't wait to try this out in my next React project.
You're ignoring that the main TOTP app for most people, Google Authenticator, doesn't allow the keys to be exported. The current solution if you buy a new phone is to manually remove and re-add 2FA on every site you use it with.
nulagrithom's answer was really good and true but here's maybe a simpler way to put it:

"planned work" is really "prioritized and agreed to" work.
"ad-hoc" work is just the urgent priority of (usually) one person.

After years of dealing with the conflict, I've found the easiest answer is always "I'd be happy to give you what you need. Which of these planned tasks from you (or your boss) are you willing to sacrifice or postpone for your urgent task?" 80% of the time that's enough. If not, you walk them over to their boss and ask them the same question. Then, you can go back to your desk and work and let them hash it out or hash it out with your boss to convert this "ad-hoc" request into a "agreed to, planned request."
I've heard an assertion that people on the Asperberg's-ish end of the autism spectrum are over-represented amongst software developers.

If that's true, I wonder it's a contributing factor for some software developers having trouble making friends once they're out of school, especially once they have kids.

>Too many Yelp reviewers take off points for feeling disrespected in odd ways or don't know much about food to begin with. Plus Yelp has a bad history of extorting money from businesses by controlling which of their reviews show up.

Agreed, the individual reviews are usually useless. But their aggregate star rating is great. A 4.5 star place with hundreds of reviews is guaranteed to be amazing without fail. 4 star is always decent. But anything 3.5 and less is guaranteed to be mediocre or bad. I eat out almost every day in SF/east bay and this has yet to fail me.
That didn't answer the question.
The problem with putting all async code directly into components is that often, async code is business logic or some other non-view-layer thing that doesn't really belong in a component.

The benefit of redux-thunk (and there are obviously other alternatives that provide the same value) is that it lets you write plain functions that have nothing to do with the store, and nothing to do with components. If you put all your business logic into these plain functions, then they're really easy to test, reason about, move, refactor, etc.

> What drives people to put all of that into their store?

It's worth pointing out that redux-thunk doesn't move async code into your store. The store (i.e. reducers) is still completely synchronous.
Where are all the films about poor Americans?
I put Yelp in the category of often (maybe even usually) better than sticking a finger on the map. Or just finding some minimally acceptable place. But, I agree that it's not great and, for me at least, a lot of reviewers seem to have very different priorities than I do and there often do seem to be a lot of weird complaints.
Publishing something does not make it public domain. I am not a lawyer, but saying they can do anything with what they scrape seems questionable.
Congratulations! This looks like a great purchase, especially for the brand value of Zagat.

Do you see The Infatuation continuing to focus on reviews, or adding in more analytics a la Medallia or Revinate? We do customer feedback analysis and have a few clients in the restaurant space - it's always interesting to hear about what value-adds review sites can have.
Redux is for state management - that could be your data store but many people use it manage their app's UI state as well. Dan Abramov himself has said many times that redux isn't strictly necessary and using local state is fine, but there are some benefits to having a full, serializable application state. You can capture and include it with a bug report/runtime exception for example. Having redux actions dispatched when users interact with your app can also be useful since you get an implicit global event bus. For things like analytics instead of littering calls to your analytics provider in all of your components' click handlers you can write middleware and keep all of that code outside of your presentation/behavior layer.
If you're at the point where your biggest threat is a SE attack on a major cell provider I think you're doing pretty good with security.

Interesting.

I have been researching how to dump the database of google authenticator (currently over 20 entries, some non recoverable), but the solution involves rooting my android phone and accessing a protected sqlite file, with a propietary (and version dependent) schema. I am not going to do that.

Does authy have the same workflow a google authenticator? Can I add entries with QR code? With ID? Can I dump the database in plaintext? (the IDs) Can it generate QRs for scanning with other 2fa tools?

Edit: ah, it's an online service. That kills it for me.
Pretty cool. I always suspected Google really bought Zagat in the first place because it was easier than evicting them from 111 8th, Google's NYC HQ. Zagat was a tenant when Google bought that building a few years back.

Spotify was too. Wonder if there were ever talks of a buyout.
You can’t go by the calculated review number; you should read the reviews (which it seems like you already do on other sites.) I would focus on the individual reviews and ignore the aggregate entirely.

It would also be nice if you could rate for, like, food, service, and atmosphere separately. But you can’t, so it’s meaningless.
My sense, from the press and from personal acquaintances, is that a lot of early investors, and at least some later investors, were impact investors[1]. DBL Investors is a notable example of an early Tesla impact investor. The successor, DBL Partners, is long on all three Musk companies.[2]

This doesn't mean that Tesla didn't need to be an economic success. It does mean that economic success wasn't the only criterion, or as highly ranked as it is for a non-impact company with non-impact investors.

> Curious: has your knowledge of the halting problem ever actually saved you time or effort in your work? If so, how?

Not OP, but I'm working a lot with ontologies. Some ontologies representations are undecidable, while other languages are not very expressive but can be manipulated in polynomial time. Had I not known that, I would still be like "crap, why does it take so long? I must have a bug somewhere, maybe I should switch to C".

> AI and ML are being advanced more by people with more knowledge of linear algebra and statistics than computer science.

Just answered OP about that, but actually, symbolic AI is pure computer science. It does not get as much publicity as ML currently, but believe me, it's everywhere: at the core of almost all package managers, like debian's apt-get or maven, at the core of most advanced static code analyzers, etc.

Strong password & rotate it. If you're worried about 1 of the 2 factors being less secure than the other, and you can only control 1/2 factors, focus on the 1 you can control ;-).

The nice thing is that 2FA over SMS should, at least, degrade to being a possible notification channel that something is amiss. Keep your password strong and at least it will become a ping message that someone has compromised your password.
I fully support snob-mentality and am onboard with your take on most UGC. It's something we are going to be very conscience about as we grow the platform. In general, want to take a top-down approach by identifying quality contributors (probably power users of The Infatuation) to seed the platform with. When interviewing users about problems with UGC, the first answer is almost always that they don't know who the person is and don't know why they should trust them. Want to combat that out of the gate.

Tim & Nina actually took the same approach originally by sending surveys out to people they thought would have valuable opinions and rewarding them with a printed guide.

Sorry, I guess what I was getting at is that in hindsight I'm surprised no browser ever explicitly asked me for access to the Yubikey or told me why it needed, I've just blindly trusted it because of the few sites I use it with.

On the other hand, it's basically functioning as another keyboard device and not a special USB device so it shouldn't be that surprising, right? (serious question)
