If this were so simple then we wouldn't have had a problem in the first place. It is not enough to recognize your own biases. For example, one problem is that science has become so specialized, broad and expensive that believing in science means trusting scientists. If a physicist tells you something about the properties of a neutrino, how can you know if she's telling you the truth? You don't have the equipment to do an experiment, and when she claims she's done the experiment at the particle accelerator where she works, you have no way to know if she's lying to you about the results. But it's not just a matter of equipment, but the breadth of modern systems of facts. Even mathematics has become broad enough that no one person can know all of mathematics, and trusting that all theorems of mathematics are, indeed, theorems, requires trusting mathematicians. Ultimately, believing in facts today requires trusting a certain social system. If trust in social systems is eroded (as it is especially among some Americans) then so is acceptance of facts. Conversely, acceptance of facts requires trust in the social system that claims to discover them.
It's not about race but rather their patriotism towards China.

The largest group of Muslims in China are the Hui Muslims (about 10 million of them). They are the descendants of the Muslims that were absorbed during conquests in the Tang and Ming Dynasty.

They eventually integrated and married other Han Chinese. They are still Muslim, but also identify as Chinese. There are also affirmative action programs for them, making it easier for them to into good colleges and government jobs.

They were also exempt from the 1-child policy.

They are how Asians are in the US, the "model minority."
I don’t know what Kleenol 30 is, but I would have thought it obvious that ethanol and isopropyl alcohol are insufficient to sterilise.

Apple really need to react if they want swift to get any traction. IOS hasn’t had any major UI update since iOS7 , and android is a mess anyway, so using a cross platform now makes more sense than ever. The icing on the cake would be to have a path for reusing dart business layer between flutter and angular.

That’s a really promising stack.

Kudos to the residents - but since this article is not just about BCN:

> People may not want everything monitored and who decides and shapes this agenda is a big question for future urban democracy.

That is actually my main problem with those fab labs: As collecting data becomes a means of power, the fabs are often an attempt to grab that power. I.e. the people running them are almost always heavily politically aligned towards one extreme of the spectrum and thus the labs themselves are ideological echo chambers (at least in my country).

No wonder it produces agendas like these:

> "We are trying to build a new productivity model for society, creating a new sustainable economy in cities where people can prototype and test ideas,"

Like this (an implied technical ability of the masses) is ever going to happen. Especially if the ones advocating it, are either shunning people outside their belief-system or "promoting" the ability with projects and agendas, no one outside their belief-system is even remotely interested in.

Consider affluent neighbourhood residents going into these labs to print their own noise detectors because of their annoyance with the asylum-seeker-home next door. Not gonna happen.

And since Detroit was mentioned: What if those youngsters in plaça del sol where the ones equipped with sensors?

As someone who has multiple startups.

Here are the main benefits of patents:

1. Helps in IPR negotiations. When multiple startups are competing in same space and poaching same employees, highly likely your tech will end up being similar to your competitor. Maybe some of the processes are exact copies. Then if you've no patents and you get sued, good luck defending yourself.

We solve it by creating landmines of patents around our actual application. So, that if we end up infringing someone else's patent, we'll be able to find some of their infringement then negotiate the settlement.

If you've nothing, you can't defend and your settlement will not be something in your favor.

Conversation with competitor: Mate! you violated my patent X and I violated your patent Y, we'll get nothing out of the legal battle, the damage is of the same amount. Why not stay quiet and keep the lights on? Who doesn't love peace?

2. Patents in employee's name often boost their confidence (if not their wealth). So, you get some productivity boost from their motivation.
Sometimes, it's like keeping a score for them and we payout enough to host a memorable dinner with their family.

Conversation with Self: You know like I've 15 patents under my belt already and 5 more pending. I am an expert already I think. Everyone will be proud of me.

3. Keeping new entrants out.

Conversation with Self: Oh, it will be expensive to navigate this patent landmine, so let's choose some other niche/industry for my new startup idea.

>But I guess for most people, it's insightful enough to know that Amazon has such a lead in the first place? I'll admit I didn't know that without seeing her slide.

I think you nailed it here. It's only intended as a starting point, for drawing your attention to a whole range of data points you may not already been aware of. Getting caught by one slide or data point, wondering what the deeper story is and going off and researching it yourself is exactly what the deck is for.
Ah, that's an interesting perspective. Having written and supported websites in both Java and Ruby (plus some other languages), I think that your perspective is valid. Long term costs are worth considering. However, sometimes you can take a long term hit in order to deliver quickly.

> compared to the life of that webapp in all situations where that webapp is anything serious.

Actually there is a situation where the short term life of the webapp matters far more than the long term. That's when you are not sure if there is going to be a long term. This could be a startup, a spike to explore a new business model, or even just a prototype of an internal app.

In all those cases, delivering something that has value in a short time outweighs the value of something that might be more supportable/extensible in the long term.
Any organization that centralizes power will become a target for others (individuals or orgs) to leverage/abuse that power. This is not limited to unions. We have centuries of laws and evolution of governance models to address known threats. The certainty of new threats is insufficient reason to abandon organized cooperation, because we can develop new defenses.

e.g. how about decentralization into smaller, independent, labor organizations focused on local issues, which build on open-source legal artifacts for governance, negotiations, threats and defenses?
+1 for NodeJS, seriously no offence to PHP folks, but Nodejs or Python is not much different from PHP in terms of developer productivity.
> As Hollywood was originally mentioned, I did not think it needs clarifying that I am talking about professional careers.

The majority of Hollywood actors are good at being Hollywood actors. Much of that seems to be more about maintaining an off-screen presence. For some reason many are celebrated. My point is that they may have fantastic careers and be household names, but that does not seem to correlate to acting ability.

> Of course somebody could be an amazing actor playing Santa at the mall from the point of view of children sitting on his lap.

I was not talking about actors playing Santa at the mall. I was talking about professional actors that are relatively unknown because they act in non-Hollywood productions. Few of these actors would be of interest to Hollywood.

If you look at European actors careers, they make a fraction of the money of their Hollywood counterparts but seem to have a multiple of the ability. I have watched some play different characters, all very different, to the point where you wouldn't recognise them by the character they play. They are believable as that character and bring the character to life. I struggle to say this about even the more respected Hollywood actors, because they are often cast to be very similar to the character they were in something else. There are actors that do buck this trend to avoid becoming typecast.

To me, acting is a skill where you try to bring a character to life. It involves understanding that character, feeling what they feel, portraying that feeling on camera. This is something that is lacking in Hollywood productions.

> It depends on employees, both EA and King own multiple studios and have thousands of people working on projects, which don't make a dime of profit.

Indeed. But this is true of Hollywood. There are films with big name stars in it that have been complete flops. Blade Runner 2049 had Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford in it, both successful actors, but made a loss. Alcon entertainment, the main production company, certainly has overall commercial success.

> However, on a studio scale you will notice that studios making successful games repeatedly do not have many horror stories about them and if you look into credits for those games you will see the same individuals working on such games for many years.

The phenomenon you describe to me would in fact suggest that it is less down to individuals than the studio attracting the right people or at least not rejecting them. Perhaps people who are more passionate about making good games can't suffer being in a team that is churning out bad games. I'm not sure this is simply down to the one-dimensional projection of the people being bad developers. You can be passionate about development and have limited development skill. I'm not sure it's necessarily better to have the technical skills and be dispassionate.
Veggies are very expensive per calorie. A cucumber is ~16 calories and costs ~50 cents each. A 2,000 calorie diet at that rate would be 60$ per day.

Granted nobody is eating like that but 1.50$ for 3 servings of vegetables per day is 550$ per year which really is significant for them.

PS: This is assuming they even have access to low cost veggies.

Versions of IOS had embedded scripting available via TCL. It's likely that's the language used internally too.
Symfony 4 can be spun up as fast as Laravel 5 and (this is my opinion) Symfony has all the benefits of Laravel with a better ORM (if you want it) and they have never broken backwards compatability in my experience.

Throw in the utterly fantastic documentation (that is both more detailed, thorough and better organised) and I'm not sure why Laravel took off the way it did.

I used Laravel for 3 years at a previous job (from 3 to 4 to 5) and I still think Symfony is the better basis for anything that isn't a relatively small application.

Also Symfony components are genuinely de-coupled, documented on how to use them stand alone and useful for that (I gradually brought them in on an inherited project with few issues).
It would definitely ease how the Han Chinese feel about Uighurs being ungrateful.

For those that don't know, China as affirmative action policies for Uighurs and other minorities. They were exempt from the 1-child policy, they get additional social welfare, and have an easier time getting to college and government jobs.

So with all these perks, most Han Chinese see them as being ungrateful when they commit or support terrorist acts, like the Kunming massacre in 2014 or suicide bombing police stations.

Can you prove how immigration limits entry jobs? Last time I checked entry level jobs are actually missing candidates in many developped countries because the local youth doesn't take them (typically construction industry is under staffed in whole western europe and needs immigrants to work).

The Web is decentralized, and so everybody’s using Google to discover it. The problem with decentralization is you still need global entry points, i.e. some sort of centralization.

The parts in Guy Robinson's "Philosophy and Mystifications" about Aristotle still resonate with me in one way or another a few years after reading it. The book is happily available online: http://www.spiritual-minds.com/philosophy/assorted/041517851...

Here's a relevant bit:

"When Aristotle looks for a place to begin the investigation
of any topic he suggests that we begin with “the opinions of the many or
the wise.” This is hardly because those opinions are thought to be
infallible. We need not have a mystical view about “the collective wisdom
of humanity” to think it sensible to start there. It simply makes more
sense than wasting our time with random fanciful or extraordinary
views, views that have come out of nowhere and are likely only to lead
nowhere, the wild suppositions of impossible happenings: colors that
change on a certain date, universes that consist only of sounds or of one
object, and so forth. Under the influence of Descartes’s method, these
imaginings have been thought to reveal “conceptual boundaries.”

This talks around food scarcity without actually being food scarcity. First, you have to show that poor quality foods actually reduce willpower and contribute to further poverty. People used to fight wars on poor diets. I'm sure there's lots of military planners in the world that would love it if they could feed their army the way America feeds its poor.

Food insecurity isn't food scarcity either, it's just more income insecurity.

The distinctions matter because the policy you craft to fix actual food scarcity is different and far easier than the policy you craft to address income insecurity.

Edit: I'm going to go against my usual playbook and discuss my downvoters. You fix social problems with policy. Policy has to affect everyone. That's what makes it policy. If you tailor bad policy that doesn't work, because it doesn't address the root cause, then you've made the world worse and not better. Giving poor people cheap ubiquitous Whole Foods Markets isn't going to solve their problems.
Things That Rot Your Company
I lived in Spain for 3 years and moved constantly due to noise. Very few people I spoke to seemed to understand what my problem was. The few who did had long since accepted that it was just how things were.

I did make the mistake of living in a busy tourist area once, it's not a mistake I ever intend to repeat.

I will, however, apologise for the behaviour of my fellow countrymen and, if it's any comfort, please understand that a lot of us hate the 'drunken Brits' as much as everyone else does.
But so many of those memories have been written down, shared in documentaries over the last 50 years, that we will always be able to see humans talking about them.

I meant Apple treading carefully in this new project (as the article mentions, they apparently reached to just a handful of major developers first and aren’t rushing something out). I agree that currently the App Store ads are almost never useful, although I appreciate that they aren’t creepy—for example, Apple doesn’t seem to try to ultra-target you through contents of your messages, like Google ads do with Gmail and Instagram does with Facebook posts.

What I envision could ideally happen is (1) Apple working out a way to place ads unobtrusively, possibly with an option to turn them off, and (2) them reinvesting a bit of their huge reserves into promotion for wider variety of apps whose developers wouldn’t otherwise advertise.

This could reduce App Store’s popularity gap, improving discoverability of original, lesser known but quality apps. By helping developers create an OK business on the platform without necessarily making it into the category’s Top 10, in longer term Apple is investing into user experience: more stability makes the platform more attractive to quality developers.

That happens too, but sitting in a room looking at a marshmallow that's not yours as part of some weird test by adults that aren't trustworthy is NOT the same as having the marshmallow.

You might reimagine the test as the 'adults lie and don't keep their promises' test. There's been times I'd absolutely snatch the marshmallow. Then it's munch mine, good luck taking THAT away, adult ;)
This just isn't true. It's so obviously not true it's really very amazing that people repeat it. Go to a Dollar General in a poor area sometime. They have lots of potato chips and assorted crap. Yep.
