I think this is a great business idea with a lot of potential, if you can address the reliability, scalability and trust problems you might have a really large business opportunity here. I'm really impressed with your pragmatic and simple (for the user) implementation of this idea, I think you really did a great job identifying a minimal set of useful features and implementing that to validate your idea, congratulations! How long did you work on this so far if I might ask?
The many traditions of non-governmental money (Part I)
You shouldn't be creating a language for that anyway. Even implementing smart contracts on a self-rolled blockchain touches the risk ceiling of dealing with new tech for handling people's money. Doing it with a new vm and language is just reckless.
And Matlab has access to good data.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. We host a registry with HTTP simple auth and it works for us because we don’t need all that.
Friend was in USF. Class composed entirely of Indians, no exceptions. Not a single US citizen in it.
The approach to build latrines for the poorest people then shame the "rich" into building ones for themselves is marvelously devious.

According to the article, even marriages were canceled after it was revealed that the family of one of the newly weds is without this essential status simbol.
No I'm not. I don't have spare time to go on campaigns like that nor am I interested. Pretty much all my friends on Facebook are there for a reason. I don't have any "cull" moments. There is no service currently that offers all that Facebook does AND has all those friends on it. When that is available, I'll reconsider. Until then, I am, and always has been aware to what data facebook has and how they use it. I'm on the net since the early 90s. The second most important lesson I learned from the internet is "What you do not want them to know, don't put online". Once anything is online, it's potentially public.
This really is not possible with RSS at all, especially since the silos don’t want to support RSS in any meaningful way.
This is an interesting thing, but too complicated and over-broad for the mere-mortal. It should be enough to just provide an RSS/Atom feed. WRT comments, well, I never want them on my website anyways, because my blog is for my content. If anybody's interested enough in responding me, they can write an email or another blog post. If I really want comments on a particular post, I post it to HN and/or Reddit.

Anything other than the pages, the feed and a mailto: link is just unnecessary IMHO. If I want a federated social media, no need for implementing and maintaining al this burden, there's Mastodon.
I was inspired to write this by a comment on HN. It's super-easy to progressively enhance your address forms.

Pity about all those pesky environmental and human rights concerns getting in the way /s
Piling on/agreeing with you: The “magic smoke” isn’t the model, it’s the infrastructure the model plugs into, the data->feature pipeline, AND the model. Assuming you’be done the things you mention (and maybe with one additional assumption of several models operating at once), I would also consider the models themselves to USUALLY not be super super sensitive.
It was the day RSS died for me
What? How on earth could have this been the case?
Speaking of Europe not producing certain things, Estonia will force a 20% tax on every foreign shipment (not sure if it's an EU directive) to "protect local businesses", ugh, no European business sells these components without asking huge amounts (and aren't the same Chinese components with 10x markup) of money.
It is a strange independence the demands the destruction of local democratic governance.
So treat them like fools? That never works. It makes them fools. I disagree with your "average Joe" assessment, it's pretty typical of the elitist mindset we technical folk seem to have a problem with. I guarantee my dead grandpa could easily understand this in heartbeat, and I know my elderly neighbor already does.

Surveys are often garbage. I would be happy to look at them, but I make good money betting against polls.

Feedback teaches, remove the feedback and... next thing you know you are arguing against free speech.
RSS is the best thing ever, period. I've found no other ways to follow websites online that even slightly improve upon it. And count in that anything from stuff like Flipboard to Twitter and similar.
Rust is not for you, and better stick to something which you are good at it.
Friendly advice :)
That was a great explanation. Should publish this somewhere.
Ask HN: Are we over-engineering front-end development?
A lot of blog posts related to front end development cover technologies like react, vue and angular. Some companies even ""brag"" about using said technologies. But when using their products, I fail to see the reasons that warranted their decision. ("It could've been done using jquery/ajax and simple PHP backend" is what I usually think.)

My question therefore is this:

Are we falling for the "shiny new toy" syndrome ? At what level of complexity should a company start considering a switch to a modern front-end framework ?

Thanks
Encrypting more sensitive information like account password, credit card numbers (if you are going to store it somewhere) is primary. Encrypting the data stored at rest in hdd's are necessary too.

Other than this encrypting processed data or meta data information can considered to be secondary..

That’s not really true.

One of the many goals of the EU was to provide a unified economy that had the ability to compete on a level playing field with other large powers. That is a form of independence, in the sense that member states can trade some of their individual independence for a greater ability to be independent from other global competitors as a union.

For what it’s worth, The UK’s departure will either result in a country that’s either an EU member in all but name, or a shining example of why leaving was bad.
California's advantages are existing tech employers, wildly risk taking investors, and above average US workers' rights like banning non compete agreements. The EU has the first, none of the second, and I wouldn't know about the third.

Not really. Independence is an axis like any other, and trading it off in some areas can result in a greater benefit at the the scale of all members.
It may well but, but everybody knew that GDPR was coming. If this was the reason, why not announce it (much) earlier?
Interesting link. Thanks for pointing that out.

> Guarantee that a significant part of that technology is European

I wish they instead wrote "Guarantee that no significant part of that technology is not European".
I’ve found that though it takes many years there does come a time when you have mastered it. Of course you can’t know every language or the intricacies of every sub discipline (graphics, audio, networking and on and on) but the core algorithms, data structures etc certainly. And then it can start to feel repetitive. It took me over 10 years as a professional dev coding everyday to reach that level. Now that I have I’m ready to do other things and have done. Nothing will stop you from continuing to be a programmer if you want to be, there are people 20-30 years older than me at places I’ve worked. It’s you who decides when it’s time to move on. They said I’ll always be a lifelong programmer just not as a professional (paid) one.
> Instead, I have to update every single client.

To combat this, every single image we use from hub.docker.com is "proxied" into our registry with a one-line Dockerfile:

FROM image:version

Building the "proxy" image and publishing it in our registry is entirely automated (using CI+Registry of a self-hosted Gitlab). Then we make everything point to our version in our registry. Should hub.docker.com go belly-up, then we have 1. a cache of versions in use (current and past), and 2. full control of the images (possibly making our own FROM scratch) without having to change a single line in downstream consumers. Initially we did this to be safe from hub.docker.com possibly intermittent availability that would delay image pulls on deployments.

I recommend Fastmail as well. I payed like 10 dollars per year at first but now I pay 20 dollars since I have a lot of stored email. It's absolutely worth it. The user interface is very modern and fast, and these guys actually do care about privacy. There are lots of good blog posts from them too, which always makes a lot of sense and are not written in enterprise language (full of you know what).
Give them some time. They are solving many large, complex problems. It looks like they're pretty close to having something that works too.
Sure, but in the Culture, it's AI Minds who are fundamentally in control. Very benevolently, of course. Nothing so sinister as Stross' Eschaton, or even Asher's Polity.
Those are risks to both employers and employees. The idea is that employees accept measures employers want ( layoffs, performance evaluations) in return for security (full time contract that gives unemployment benefits, medical etc).
Why is the economic and technological rise of China a problem?
Frontend applications get more elaborate and smart every day. Part of it is that expectations are higher and higher as well. It is expected for a lot of products that when they launch, they handle complex application state, keep data on refresh, sync everything, give immediate and relevant user feedback, etc. And of course devs don't want to use yesterday's language so complex build tools that transpile newest versions of JS are a given.

Sure, you could build something with jQuery and a PHP backend, and a lot of people manage to pull this off. But you would either re-invent the wheel for some of those features or you'd end up using jQuery plugins to do it for you, which basically is the same as using a module.
“March 24, 2017, was no ordinary day for Proxima Cen,” said Meredith MacGregor [...]

Nitpicking, but the not so ordinary day for Proxima Centauri was two or three days before New Year's Eve 2012 due to its distance. Maybe just some fireworks set off prematurely.

Rancher, the container orchestration, is pretty much dead too, since it's K8s-based from (upcoming) 2.0 on, i.e. it's becoming a K8s distribution and has to compete with K8s itself, OpenShift and probably upcoming open-sourced edition of Tectonic. RancherOS might live on, even though there is a lot of doubt on why it should do so.
Thunderbird 52.7.0 released
The person who runs the platform could do some calculations themselves and then throw people out if there's a disagreement.
Kubernetes had won the container scheduler wars. At GitLab we're all in on making a PaaS based on k8s and our CI/CD and the container registry that is part of GitLab.
This article seems to miss a few things.

I can do just fine without "news" from newsfeed. Their alternatives don't let me see pictures of, for example, my sister and brother's families. Random thoughts of people And so on. I'm sure my family would occasionally send me pictures, but it is hard to inconvenience everyone else. Not only that, but it would be more inconvenient for me. The main reason I joined facebook was because it was a simple way to keep in touch when moving overseas, after all. I can give updates and pictures without sending to so many people.

Groups are a weird thing. I find things like Reddit to be a different sort of feel.

Lastly: I think for a lot of people, alternatives need to be able to communicate with facebook and have be compatible in some ways. Right now, facebook is more akin to a phone company that only lets folks speak with others in the same network. If they would allow "friends" outside the network, allow public posts to be viewed by anyone, messenger coordinates with other messenger services, there would be more chance for folks to actually switch. In addition, more folks would switch to other services if there were an easy way for people to port some things to a new service: Profile information, pictures, and so on.

Marketplace misses the point as well. I occasionally sell artwork, for example. I don't advertise or self promote much, but do keep up an art page. The sales I get are generally from facebook. There are a few social networks dedicated to artwork, but it definitely isn't the same.

Someone else commented that facebook is great for finding events - I, too, use this.

Sometimes the biggest problem with replacing messenger is that others still use messenger. My experience from pre-facebook times is that no, most people don't change for you. They simply talk to you less. Not having messenger on my phone (desktop only) causes some issues here and there as it is.
Isn't Brazil in America?
Note that you’re basing your calculations on a EUR 100k salary. His 100k are the sum of salary and employer-paid charges.

It’s true that California taxes are high. But it’s also true that France taxes are higher. And, to be fair, bring with them higher entitlements.
It's not.

It's the zero-sum thinking of a totalitarian dictatorship that's a problem. For example, simply letting the Taiwanese live their own free and happy lives is too much of "a problem" to let go without threatening invasion on a weekly basis :)

Also, there is geopolitics at play. The Thucydides Trap is real.
So make it less complicated.
Paywalled but...wonder if they could apply for US citizenship since technically their father is a USian?

Kind of reminds me of another article I saw a while back about Chinese women coming to the US to give birth so their children would have the option of becoming a US citizen if they wanted to later in life. Apparently there's a big business built around it.

That's a nice word-salad you got there.
Interesting perspective. I didn't think about it that way. But it only answered the second part of my question. My observation was more about "less elaborate" products needlessly adding complexity to their architecture because "the other cool kids" do it. (I've been guilty of this myself so It's not an attack on anybody that does this)

"as a public company Marriott is mandated to act in its shareholders' best financial interests"

The reality: You can't take shareholder money out on the front lawn and set it on fire

What the internet thinks: Company not only can do insert shitty thing here but MUST do insert shitty thing here because they have a fiduciary duty.

The problem is that the internet perception of reality is semi fictional. They damn well could have simply stated that they as a company don't take a personal position on Tibet but wont be bullied and faced near zero chance of successful lawsuit even if investors took a short term bath due to business in china.

To refute this simply provide examples of investors who successfully sued because of decisions they didn't agree with an explain how this situation is similar.
Geopolitically U.S. sees China as a potential challenger but that is not the main problem, an emerging China will make Japan militarize. While the world is focused on Xi's power grab, Abe is taking steps for militarizing Japan.

Its too early to say they are in collision course, but lets put it this way, if the balance of power tilts too fast .. some one will "push the button" of war.
Hmm, that k8s “has won” might make me a bit sad - not that I’ve ever gasped some fresh air out of the stranglehold of AWS - as I was impressed with Mesos.

Can you share some 1st person opinions on Mesos, and where K8s is a step forward, backward or aside?

In Europe he’d be fired for failing to do his job and/or tainting company image. No employee rights can save someone who made a mistake.

He might go to court over that and try to claim that it was not his fault or that it’s not such a big mistake. But his chances wouldn’t be good in most countries.

Oh, and he wouldn’t even be offered any kind of severance. It’d be seen as employ-fault firing.
While I agree that their attitudes towards Taiwan are inappropriate, it's a stretch to suggest that this is an issue of totalitarian government. There's not a major government on earth (and probably not a minor one), of any political persuasion, which hasn't faced and rejected an attempt at secession.
America is a commonly-used short form for the United States of America, as it is in this case. (Edit to add: Actually, it's even more specific than that: American is the commonly accepted demonym for citizens of the United States, which is how it's used here.) To refer to the landmasses including North and South America, the term the Americas is typically used.
Nah, the better outcome is Marriott showing it's hand. Better to know who is running the show, the consumers do just fine sorting it out. PR is extremely powerful and at least in the US many of us are very conscious about voting with our money. The alternative, where influence by people that are antithetical to our core values stays under the radar is much more damaging. My whole family will soon know this story, and they _love_ voting with their money.

Your first paragraph, here, doesn't matter. He is stating opinion as if it were fact and what he said (not you now) isn't fact at all.

Your second paragraph emphasizes my point. You,too, are stating that Uber is a car manufacturer, in whole or in part. Does Uber manufacture any parts of this car at all? The impression the opinion piece gives is that Uber manufacturers cars.
Indeed it is entirely different.

The US isn't seeking to annex Cuba, and Cuba is entirely free to trade with the rest of the world.

China threatens and throws tantrums if Taiwan so much as gets any recognition from other nations. China doesn't even want Taiwan's leader to be able to directly speak to the US, or for their politicians to be able to visit the US.
