Something I loved about living in Bogota, was how easy it was to navigate there.

The whole city was built on a grid, with the east-west streets increasing in number as you went north. And the North-south streets increasing in number as you go east to west.

There is a mountain range to the east, so if you can see the mountains, and know what streets you're on, you can always find your way

I think I just particularly mistrust economists.

It's partially that if these new studies are correct it's just amazing how so many economists could be so wrong about something that seems so obvious. I can't even fathom it without imagining they were paid off.

Funny thing is I know people who will bring up talking points of economists in real life while ignoring the "reality on the ground", and I know they aren't paid for. They won't even consider that the economists might be wrong. Maybe there's just been a lot of groupthink in economics.
The story people should take away from the article isn't "Microsoft wrote their own database for their note-taking app, so should I for mine!", it's that "Microsoft launched and made wildly popular a note-taking app using standard tools, then learned their problem space including subtle requirements about the deployment environment, and THEN wrote their own database to solve real pain-points they had in practice."
The worst question of the bunch is undoubtedly the tennis question. A very clever alien could answer the other six, but having never been exposed to the rules of tennis would be hopeless against the Wimbledon question.

The problem is how will you find that your tech has stagnated? If nobody experiments with new tech - who will teach others? How will that knowledge come into your corp? Hiring new people to do that will not work, because:
- People being hired will be evaluated by legacy people (different thinking will be considered disadvantage during interviews)
- Legacy people will not listen to new hires since they have no credibility and it "has been the way it was always done"

The massive elephant sitting in the corner is that it's more expensive to pay for American workers because we have laws and regulations that protect them and ensure they have a decent quality of life. So now it becomes an ethical problem and we all know what to do when we encounter a difficult one of those: shift liability to a corporate entity and chalk up the negative ethical aspects as economics. (I'm not the one exploiting foreign labor, that's mega corp.)

The greatest feature of globalization is that it distances consumers from the source of the goods they consume. This might be "good" for the consumers in the short term, but it's absolutely not good for their s/economy/quality of life/ in the long run.

What's the effect of instant gratification global capitalism? The American economy now has to compete with the foreign economy. If workers in the foreign country experience a lower quality of life in order to sustain American consumers, then the American worker gets shafted because they have to lower their quality of life to compete. If they won't or can't (because we consider those conditions too inhumane for our own workers) then they have to find new work.

Globalism is the great equalizer.

EDIT: I'm not necessarily saying this is bad for the world (except that human rights and quality of life regress to the mean), and one can also argue that the freed up resources might be put to more.. sophisticated.. uses. I don't know...

I'm responding to the parent: the only way globalizing an economy is good for a strong country (one sitting above the mean) is if you define good in a strictly economic sense like "lowest prices for the consumer" (which is the premise of the parent's argument). It's easy for an economist to do that in isolation because that's the name of the game. A government, however, is not tasked with driving down prices for consumers (that's a market's job) but rather is responsible for roughly maintaining quality of life for its citizens and with protecting its workers, among many other things. Allowing the economy to run unchecked at a global scale essentially equates to selling out the workers. It's not just about who's consumers get the lowest price at the end of the day.

I'm an artist as well as a programmer. It looks like one of the things you're not appreciating is the sheer size of most commercial codebases. It's not possible to keep it all in your head, or even scribble meaningfully about it in a notebook. It's barely possible to keep the bare minimum you need in your head, and that can take a while to build up -- and then poof, it's (somewhat) gone because your coworker can't Google a simple question.

If it was just the size, it would actually still be manageable with a notebook -- but it's not just size. Every single character on every single line matters, to some non-negligible extent. If you could condense that into a notebook, you'd condense the code in the first place.

Imagine you (and your ancestors) had written five hundred novels. Now you're making a significant change in the storyline. You need to be DAMN SURE you didn't miss anything anywhere, or created any plot holes. You can either take a million notes as you go, defending against all possible interruptions, taking obscene amounts of time; or just try and focus and get it done.

I found this course somewhat lacking in intuition building.

It's also sad that we're still using trig tables (that's essentially what the nautical Alamanac is. It also has to be updated every year). I thought the aeronautical paper flight computer was complex ...

Also, I find it hard to believe that a set of 6 books is more disaster proof (and quicker to use) than a hardened calculator for when the shit hits the fan ...

> The US supply chain is incredibly convoluted, featuring 5 layers of people who's sole job is to prevent the buyer from contacting the factory directly.

Can you expand on this? Who/what would prevent me from directly working with factories?
> two independent judges each assessing a fine

As I understand it the penalty is assessed and levied by the regulator. Just like DPA penalties where the number of people receiving any fine at all has been minuscule. The proportionality of instances where fines have been given seems good. I think most EU citizens would feel too few, and too low fines have been the norm.

> That level of unpredictability doesn't seem like law to me

That is how most UK and EU law has worked for, well, forever. Most offences have a maximum penalty yet it is the US that regularly makes headlines for extreme penalties or length of incarceration.

Plenty of people get small fines in the hundreds, or just a caution, or their business gets a letter for offences that have fines running far into the thousands.

Talking of extraterritoriality, doesn't that also apply, along with the burden to 200 nations you criticise, to the US DMCA for sites with user content?
Isn't one of the main purposes of the LineageOS project to preserve as close-to-stock of an experience as possible?

Personally in terms of security, I would worry more about the Essential-specific builds, not general LineageOS releases. For example, a quick search shows LOS having the KRACK vulnerability seemingly patched the same month after public disclosure.

As for my distinction between Essential builds vs. general LOS builds, bear in mind LOS has not reached Official status for the Essential phone and is very unlikely to within the foreseeable future, primarily due to the difficulty in decoupling Google services from the OS. BUT! If the Essential LineageOS Discord channel is any indication, maintenance and updates are super active. And, the (volunteer-run) support is VERY helpful. Keep in mind, they are supporting LineageOS on Essential, not necessarily cases of rooted devices.

Furthermore, rooting isn't a 1-click process at this time, either. You'll have to bust out the computer terminal, run some adb/fastboot commands, and do a couple additional things that get your hands dirty.

If you use T-Mobile and have the money for a Pixel 2, I would just go with that. Essential has widely varied reception for T-Mobile users. Mine for example simply doesn't work much of the time that it says I have full signal, and it flat out drops incoming calls and text messages with absolutely no indication whatsoever that anybody even tried to contact me.

I kind of regret my choice in phone to replace my aging, problematic N5.

Pretty healthy pool of LineageOS phones "out there."

Do you actually believe that? Or does your organization not believe in software maintenance and opts to rewrite entire apps instead? In my experience, Enterprise^w software is never "done". A common conclusion to your story is "I've been asked to modify/refactor this app that has ben unchanged since 2005" - sure it's perfectly crafted, but it's in ECMAScript 3. Also Best practices shift over time.

They're not too clear on the mechanics of this deal. Previous investors get diluted in a down round, but not usually to zero (especially given liquidation preferences, etc.). But:

> If Birchbox’s venture investors had fought the deal — which they could have done as debt holders who gave the company a lifeline in 2016 — the company and its employees could have been staring down bankruptcy.

https://www.recode.net/2018/5/1/17305940/birchbox-recap-viki...

So maybe they're saying that Birchbox's earlier investors accepted a deal where their equity became worthless, to preserve the value of their debt? Or maybe the "nothing" isn't strictly correct, and they just mean it's highly dilutive?

Americans have gone through decades of ups and downs without turning to hateful nationalism and while supporting free trade, as well as 'humanism' (in terms of democracy, liberty, and opportunity) for all. The nationalists want to appear inevitable, but they are not.

If there's no humanism for others then there's none for you either; if human rights aren't universal, then you don't have any either. Being unemployed and relatively powerless, people might appreciate a little more humanism.

EDIT: And according to this thread, the low-income voters voted for Clinton anyway:

> This is all well and good in global altruistic humanist sense

In the local economic sense, in fact. If trade is harmed, then your chance of getting another job is reduced and the cost of things that you need will go up. Most of what you buy is produced outside the U.S.

> if I just lost my job in Indiana because the company shuttered our plant and outsourced manufacturing to China, I'm voting for Trump

That takes at face value Trump's claim to represent such groups' interests. If you are a minority, you probably aren't voting for Trump; if you are a woman, it's also unlikely you see him as protecting your interests, Also, Trump will take away you and your family's health insurance; his spending policies will remove other government benefits and investments you receive (including higher education for your kids); his economic and trade policies may harm economic output, reducing your chance to get another job; his inflationary policies may eat away your savings; his pro-Wall Street policies may make you a victim of the financial system ... much of his appeal is not to the economic interests of factory workers, but to ethnic nationalism, and other issues.

My point is not to debate about Trump's policies, but to say: Let's not take politicians' claims at face value and just repeat them.

What is your opinion of the Harvard CS extension programs?
You can reuse almost as much without forcing one framework for all teams - making it not least efficient way possible. Not using one tool will encourage team to explore new possibilities, alternatives, learn new paradigms and thinking. In long term this is certainly more effective.

Web is not dead simple (I consider web to be frontend development in this context). Why I would consider web to be hard:
- it is harder to do frontend development than backend, because you write code which is sent to one of thousand different compilers, creating another layer of difficulty. Versus controlled environment where your backend code is being run
- While there are only few patterns which are applied to FE development, there are many new features(PWAs, real time syncs,..) coming into web. Taking advantage of them requires learning, coding and refactoring. You might say - this is just reinventing the wheel - while partly that is true, developers will still need to learn, adapt knowledge to web, build tools.

> the US pushing globalism and free trade on the rest of the world

No, the rest of the world has been pushing it too, with exceptional results, and still follows that path with the U.S. being the odd country out.

If this one study is correct, it only reflects on one aspect of a much larger issue. Trade has brought immense benefits to the world, lifting billions out of abject poverty; whatever it's drawbacks and imperfections, it's very hard to say it's anything but the greatest economic success in human history. Globalism is built on the foundation of universal human rights, probably the most important factor in the overall welfare of humans. If the people who happen to be on the other side of an arbitrary, invisible line don't have rights, then neither do you.
Yeah, keeping a text editor with a task-specific file open while I work has been something of a revalation for me.

Having lived in old cities/towns with high traffic, you adapt by finding shortcuts where you can save time on a frequent commute. The bigger the city, the higher average commute time it seems. The longer of a drive you can accumulate those shortcuts too. After getting used to always being on the lookout for a faster route, moving to a smaller metro area, with better, newer infrastructure, it's been an odd mental adjustment. Almost like I forgot how to relax, and now that I can, I still charge ahead. I can see that being a contentious issue in the future with car ownership, vs giant companies just providing transportation, and what sort of greater good compromises will be made to demand safer and safer transportation.

> how so many economists could be so wrong about something that seems so obvious

My experience is that with very rare exceptions, if I think experts who study an issue are all so obviously wrong, then I'm the one who misunderstands something (about the facts, the experts, or who knows what). The 'everyone's an idiot and missing the obvious' theory rarely holds up.

The study is interesting. Let's not get carried away with the interpretations of a bunch of HN users, of one news report, about one economic study, by a small research institute in Kalamazoo MI.
