Why make money in the first place then.

That is the wrong line of logic. Many people who have a lot of money are/were not interested in making money beyond what it would take them to have a decent life.

They never made money. They made something else and that something, by consequence, generated a lot of money. For some of these guys the amount of wealth created satisfied a different need, perhaps some measure of impact, but it was never about accumulating wealth in the first place.

I wouldn't say impolite, just unnecessary. Church services are generally for people who adhere to that religion, or are investigating it. I would imagine that most people in those categories already do attend church.
Not necessarily. IPFS is sort of like Bittorrent on steroids. You can think of yourself as the first seeder of your website, but as long as there are other network participants that have a full copy of your site, your home PC doesn't need to be online for people to access it.
How does my social network play into recommendations. I often find myself asking friends with similar tastes for suggestions as random reviews online are not trustworthy, I don't think the crowd average informs me much plus food bloggers who review restuarants seem to be too out there for me. How does one personalize these reccos?
A big chunk of this question straddles the philosophical/semantic divide. We consider emotional ailments, health issues in our times. In that sense, "yes" by definition, if we're seeing a spread of it. It also doesn't take much proving to convince me that loneliness (the physical state, and the emotional lonliness) is related to depression and other emotional states.

There's a completely nonsemantic point on lonliness causing physical ailments too, and I think the evidence here is as convincing as anything related to happiness and mental health.

Sometimes we think too hard. Put a chimp or sheep or donkey into a bad social setting (no peers, peers change daily, peers hate you...) and they will show signs of distress. Create an environment where these are more prevelant, the ailments will be more prevelant. People too.

Lonliness is related to people's relationship s. These have changed. Community is weaker, as our it's institutions. Modern society is more indivualistic, with less social obligation... or contact above a very basic level of commitment.

Do you send your kids to clean out ms hegarty's shed, because your aunt told you that she needs help and was good to your mum? Culture has changed, and many of the loneliness-combating relationships are gone.

IMO, corporate life has crowded out everything else. This is another point I'm confident about but can't substantiate: work relationships are very low nutrition, and they form most of many of our diets. Some people don't even have that.

On May's department of lonliness... What "normally" helps prevent lonliness, is friends, neighbors, family, community.... our modern world has a lot less of that. I don't think the answer is government institutions instead. I think the answer is social institutions. Maybe May should focus on cheerleading instead of doing, try to encourage social institutions that exist, or could.

> I can only imagine that the imported tomatoes were grown in depleted soil using less than sustainable methods.

This is far from the only explanation. I've bought supposed "heirloom" tomatoes in a high end supermarket before, and they were also disgusting. What you bought probably simply wasn't a proper heirloom tomato.
I learned enough just reading the free stuff to make a product with revenue. But yes.
At paragraph breaks, one or more paragraphs, comparable chunk size, pastel colors so there’s some difference/contrast but not too much.
I know you mean well, and I am not trying to argue for sport or be difficult, but it's not as simple as you imagine. I have health issues that prevent me from spending time down in the dirt gardening and I don't find it appealing at all. Photography requires infrastructure and equipment. Walking is a big problem for me because of the surgeries and fallout.

I really wish people would not do the "you have to work at it and it's worth it" thing as if someone in my position is lazy or doesn't want to have a better life. They keep throwing out things they think are so simple and obvious but can't seem to accept there are real, practical reasons certain things won't work. In addition you can't force someone to like something they simply don't just because it's "available". Please believe me that none of this is my lack of effort or attitude. Nobody would choose this life if there was a realistic way out but many people live like this. I do the best I can but it's crushing.
No. Those are probably the 3 things I use the most.

3 Reasons Why We Use TypeScript to Boost Dev Productivity
"We" (the government) didn't build it or pay for it. Even back in the AT&T monopoly era it was always private infrastructure.[1] AT&T got certain rights (e.g. easements) but that also came with a lot of strings attached (they had to build in a bunch of rural places they never would've built otherwise). Public ownership of the wires was never part of the bargain.

[1] The same is true for power lines. They're mostly privately owned. The power utilities are subject to various regulations (rate regulation, etc.) but the wires were built with private money and are private property. In contrast, most water/sewer lines are owned by the municipality, and paid for by the public through taxes and hook-up fees for new construction.
I get you have good intentions, but be careful not to assume you have a handle on what the physical health troubles are, nor that you understand the exact circumstances preventing action that seem easily surmountable to you. It can be more harmful than good to suggest stuff like this if you've missed the mark in your assumptions, speaking as someone who experiences a lot of well-wishing advice for similar reasons.

Sometimes it's better to listen than explain.

I explain it like this: if you're "normal," for lack of a better word, interacting with someone with major depression can feel like debugging a program that is currently in an undefined state. Nothing makes sense, and your rules for how a program should behave are irrelevant, because depression makes me think in ways that are completely bananas (both to you and me, oddly enough). But, you can't just restart the process, so take your time understanding what's going on before acting; sometimes, action is not the right course at all.

I'm not trying to pick on you. I just see this a lot on HN when someone brings up major disorders -- "just work out! just garden! just be happy!" -- and it's troublesome in general, not just you.
I write separate business logic into which are passed their dependencies and/or the data to operate on. If you have a defined API client, you can pass that to your business logic and let it work with the API client, but to do so means that in testing you have to mock your API client. So my business logic objects tend to work on groups of domain objects (in a functional manner, usually using ImmutableJS these days).

Functional-core, imperative-shell design suggests to then use this functional core within a shell of code that handles IO, handles failure cases--effectively, anything that can fail belongs here. To me, that's the React component; I don't view React as "functional", as it's got multiple types of state even separate from Redux (and this is not a demerit, IMO). The onClick handler of a React button is no different from the command handler for a CLI application. The code in that handler makes requests of its API client (which I typically inject through context and my own HOC--like I said, React's statefulness doesn't bug me at all), it performs business logic functions on the data yielded from its API client, and it stores the result (typically with a onComplete method or the like, so my redux-connected component can dispatch an action).

I'm amenable to other ways to do that data routing (because that's really all any of this is), I just don't see why the state store is where this routing should be done and see a lot of reasons around testing and failure-rescue and general code cleanliness why I wouldn't. If you were to make HTTP requests in your SQL datastore I'd be remarkably concerned for your sanity; I don't think it makes any more sense to do so in a Redux store.
One thing is that most people really dont need gigabit connection. I'd think most people couldn't tell the difference between 10mbps & 1gig. Maybe 25-100 mbps is required if you have 8 kids each streaming their own movies.

Maybe 5g is enough and the fiber rollout is a waste of resources.

Upstream backups are a little different. It doesn't work quick enough with dsl. But isn't that important.
This. For ordinary people, the key to security is avoiding centralized data stores for sensitive information. If someone hacks a website I use, they will only get that one random password. If they want to get my master password, they need to break into my home computer, in which case they'll only get access to a single person's digital life, which is probably not worth the effort.

If Mossad or the NSA wants to steal my passwords, they will get them, but I'm just some random nobody, so that's not my threat model.
Even the largest companies are not thinking through this carefully enough. When Google wants to verify a login, my android phone comes up with a special proprietary Google prompt. Seems nice, but let's look at the flip side. Apple does this too, and about 5 years ago I had an iPhone. Recently I tried to download apps on my mac - and it suddenly required a password - so I tried a bunch of different things I probably had. Nothing was working. I got to a screen to reset the password, and they have a correct working email address for me. Except instead of offering reset via email, there is a prompt for my security questions. I checked my keepass entry for my security questions - SHIT I forgot to record them :( (my mother's maiden name is something like SDFDS$%FE#23 to Apple). So now it leaves me with one more option - authenticate via "..."'s iPhone! I'm thinking great! I will get a text message on my android in a few minutes (since the number is the same). No luck - suddenly I realized that "reset via iphone" means that a special app on my (smashed with a rock-hammer) iPhone will never ever be able to run.

Apple please listen.
Derp. I Thought it was removing the element, my bad!
Interesting. No one has yet mentioned today's lack of community.

We don't share a sense of place any more, we move around from job to job, families spread around the country or globe. We rarely share an emotional connection and sense of place with our neighbours that our grandparents would have known. We haven't even kept the sense of virtual community that the BBS's had - social networks amplify dissent and engagement, not friendship and connection.

That's before you get to the amount of divorce and people living alone, with less and less free time or money outside of work.

I'm not the least bit surprised loneliness is becoming a global epidemic.
> The strength of redux is that all your interactions with it are through functions

I think it's the other way around: The greatest weakness of Redux is that (unnecessarily) message passing instead of function calls are used.

Why do a `store.dispatch({type: 'INCREMENT', value: 10})` when it could be a `store.count.increment(10)`? In basically all cases every action is handled by exactly one reducer so just let the reducer be an object with methods instead of a big switch function operating on string constants.
And a roll cage.
Division of Labour.

That's like saying "If you work to buy a house and food, why don't just build it instead along with a garden in the back and not work?" To which the answer is it is cheaper to do what you are best at and sell the surplus to buy all the houses your new money can afford.
Wow. You must be a really good and decent person for a simple word to affect you so. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
Exactly. They do need to get a copy of your site first, though, and they do that by accessing it (so someone else needs to have visited your site first).

I can't tell if you're trolling or are just not up to date on game AI, so assuming the latter: you have to think beyond chess. There's much more info on interactive storytelling in the AIIDE proceedings I linked to, it's a very active area of research. Academically it goes back at least to the mid 90s, Oz project at CMU for example, or MIT Media Lab projects. And in commercial production, interactive stories are as old as the industry, probably the best early example is Infocom but back then there wasn't much AI driving it; it's not until the 2000s that people started actually building "drama managers" for shipping games to introduce dramatic conflict dynamically.
I like the physical simplicity of one hour equals a colored block. I've got minor quibbles so will modify it, but good idea.
> My only gripe with this eco-system is that it constantly comes up with new names and concepts for things that already exist in the FP world.

I agree, but I think it's easy to see how it happens. It's an impediment to adoption of the project if people don't understand what you're talking about, so simplistic shorthand is used initially to get people up to speed, and then you find that your temporary names have become engraved in stone for the vast majority of your users. People being how they are, you're just as likely to get them to change editors as change terminology at that point.

And this is why we are surprised every time the economy crashes, yet again.
A thought: good standards of living and equality may result in loneliness through everyone's relative comfort and needlessness of help. Companionship is achieved through mutual struggle.
Ah, interesting! I would expect it still to be limited to a narrow vertical band due to the technology used to send a different image to each eye, versus a purely camera-based solution which doesn't attempt to display 2 different images at all.

Or could it support, for instance, rotating the handheld?
Tomatoes don't ship and store well. Especially "heirloom" varieties, which mostly just means (non-hybrid) varieties that aren't of the few currently typically grown for large-scale commercial production. You know why they chose/hybridized the (fairly tasteless/bad tasting) tomato varieties that _are_ currently used for large-scale commercial production? Because they ship and store better.
I think calling components "presentational" is an abuse of the term. It is all imperative facade at any meaningful level. The relationship of components to the user interactions triggered through them is not materially, to me, different from issuing a command from a CLI. As such, I tend to constrain imperative, this-can-fail activity to that layer rather than chucking it into my datastore.

As you can surmise by reading this article, the rise of the wireless ISPs (or WISPs) is not because the wireless technology is better or drastically cheaper. It's because in so many places, the incumbents are able to prevent you from building out fiber. They simply haven't developed the weapons to destroy the WISPs yet, but unless the political climate in states/cities changes, they will.

It is tough for WISPs to compete on latency[1]. Not to say there's no value in it or that it couldn't be improved, but right now, aside from the political/regulatory issues, fiber is the best way to build an awesome network for customers.

If you want to work on software at a company that is deploying fiber in multiple cities, we're hiring[2].

Disagree. Take El Faro on 1st [1], it’s actually pretty good (their taco dorado al pastor is really good), yet it has a 2.5 rating. It’s also been in business for years, so clearly something else is keeping them alive than their yelp rating. And if you look at individual reviews, there are a bunch of 4 and 5 stars, yet they disappear when scrolling a search list.

I’ve also found many 4+ star restaurants entirely overrated and quite mediocre.

It’s all about the category and how it fits into the local milieux, which might place emphasis on things you don’t care about or expect (the ambiance sucks at el faro, for example, but it’s a lunchtime tacqueria I could care less). People take away stars from it because it’s cash only. Sorry, but what exactly is it that we’re rating here?

That lack of common consensus and the wide disparity between expectations means yelp aggregates aren’t always so useful. I wish they did a better job of showing me the reviews and stars of the things that matter to me, not to the shapeless aggregate. Or at least give me a sense of the distribution to know if there’s more/less contention than normal.

Let's go through five incidents listed here:

(1) GOIANIA ACCIDENT: ... between 60 and 80 people died as a result of the accident ...

OK, that's bad.

(2) RADIOTHERAPY ACCIDENTS: ... Ten deaths and 78 injuries were attributed to overexposure.

The fact that this is called "RADIOTHERAPY" accidents should give you a pause. Radiation was being used to save lives, and when some machines malfunctioned, peoplpe died. Now insert anything else there (say, vaccination or anesthesia) and see how that sounds. Are we saying vaccination is dangerous and should be abolished because accidents lead to death?

(3) THULE ACCIDENT: ... an aircraft accident involving nuclear weapons ... leading to widespread contamination of the area.

Sorry to sound crass, but what military incident doesn't?

(4) CASTLE BRAVO: During a nuclear weapons test, the U.S. military detonated a thermonuclear hydrogen bomb ... ended up having a 15 megaton yield ...

Well, I think we can all agree that detonating a 15MT H-bomb is bad.

(5) THE THREE MILE ISLAND ACCIDENT

Yes, the infamous radiation accident where nobody died.

-----

I really hate these fear-mongering articles that conflate nuclear bombs and peaceful use of nuclear energy, making the public believe they're both dangerous because they're NUCLEAR. That makes about as much sense as protesting use of asphalt because it's made of the same petroleum that also makes napalm.

One is that societies throughout the world have embraced a culture of individualism. More people are living alone, and aging alone, than ever. Neoliberal social policies have turned workers into precarious free agents, and when jobs disappear, things fall apart fast. Labor unions, civic associations, neighborhood organizations, religious groups and other traditional sources of social solidarity are in steady decline. Increasingly, we all feel that we’re on our own.

I think this is on point.

When people don't feel safe to be themselves at work, the place where they spend most of their waking hours - it can really dampen your mood.

In the past, workers were treated poorly, but there was a sense of camaraderie, it was 'us vs the man', a sense of belonging, even if it was in mutual misery. Nowadays, it's worker vs worker for the ever-shrinking number of positions.

That's the crux of it I feel - when you're playing a zero sum game [0] with the people you're meant to build emotional connections with, it is very hard to feel good about it.

Well, never estimate the power of "hobby". When announcing Linux 27 years ago, Torvalds said "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu". Now name any device and probably someone has ported Linux to it.
