>When Angular gained popularity, we did not have an urge to switch because it felt unclear what the scope and direction of Angular actually was.

I do not remember React coming in before Angular. I loved Angular1. But Angular2 made me very uncomfortable and thats when I switched to React. And I'm not looking back.
Even if I need a very simple drop-in not-transpiled solution without the React tooling - I always fall back to Angular1 instead of using Vue. Fortunately I have no regrets moving to React.
> Why are people celebrating the downfall of Apple

Because Apple is a tax dodging corporate behemoth that kowtows to the chinese and exploits slave labor? Because Apple sells overpriced garbage to people who don't know better?

> the company that comprises 3.94% of S&P 500, and is probably the single biggest holding of 401K retirement accounts.

You are really overstating AAPL significance in ordinary people's retirement portfolio. Most americans have an insignificant 401k account. I think I read that the median 401k value last year was $26K. Of that appl represents almost nothing for most investors/retirees.

> No American benefits if Apple falls.

What? Americans/american companies competing with Apple benefits. To say no american benefits isn't true. Hell Exxon's future has more impact on americans' lives. Doesn't mean we can't criticize it or support clean energy.

Isn't this due to inflation? A couple of percent decrease in the value of the dollar makes a huge number of new millionaires.
> the driver is held responsible

Yes, if they are drunk or clearly driving recklessly. Otherwise, it's an accident. Their insurance will pay, and they will go on probably with some emotional scars but nothing really in the way of "punishment"
I'm not talking about perfect performance. I'm talking about "superior to humans in the general case* performance. And there is plenty of evidence that it will exist, starting with the huge number of things that humans used to do that are now done by computers, faster and more accurately.

Driving vehicles to all locations in all conditions? Yeah, humans will have advantages there for a long time to come. Driving on highways and city streets within the bounds of traffic laws and expected velocities? I think computers will be better than humans very soon, if they aren't already so.
It is closed, the non-commercial license means almost no one can use it.
It's so easy to become jaded when so many things are "too good to be true" and in fact aren't true. Theranos, Madoff, etc.
I was a frequent visitor to that station as a child in the late fifties and all through the sixties. Restoring it will be transformative for Detroit and heal a deep wound for the city.
Visibility for a viable alternative?
All IPv6 traffic. Checking out from bitbucket took 6 minutes instead of 10 seconds.

I agree, and Preact is fantastic! Not only is it very fast and light, but so is the community
Maybe bittorrent will finally achieve mainstream adoption. More importantly, maybe tron will find a way to eliminate those pesky bittorrent data leacher
It is definitely perceptible. Compare a normal iPad (60 Hz) to an iPad Pro (120 Hz), the fluidity of movement is very apparent in just playing around with the home screens.
"(hint: why would a manufacturer / wholesaler let you do this for them if it was profitable?)."

Wayfair is a 9.7B company, that dropships. They found a way to make it profitable.
It's pretty difficult to integrate any huge JS library without looking at the online documentation at the same time. You don't know what methods exists or what params are allowed. TypeScript solves this.

Any reasonably proficient developer will be more productive integrating a TS library than a JS one. Demonstrably.
that was how i felt too which was the same reason i disliked angular. but vue's templating syntax have turned out to be really enjoyable to use. it made me think how wrong i was of my initial impression of vue. you have to give it a try to understand it.
How is that Apple's problem? They don't write the tax laws, and there were numerous squandered political opportunities to extract real concessions from them, most recently during the December tax giveaway.
> React (really JSX) solves the single problem of making HTML a part of JavaScript.

This is the crux of the matter. The people who find Vue appealing (myself included) come from the world of design and html+css markup and jQuery. We're not looking to get html into our JavaScript -- rather we're looking to get JavaScript into our html!

There is absolutely no reason to switch from React to Vue if it's working for you (and I don't think anyone in the Vue community would argue with that). But you came from using backbone -- the people who love Vue I think primarily come from using jQuery. We feel the same way about Vue as you do about React, and that's okay! (btw I also use react and also think it's great)

As for staying in React for the rest of your career -- give yourself more credit and hope you'll be around long enough that this isn't true :)

Reminds me of the NBA ads claiming life and basketball are "so similar".

These creative sentences are great when they work, but are there any checks and balances on this? What if a judge thinks religious studies are the best way to reform a child? Are they obligated to participate, or is it an option for the kid to go to juvenile hall instead?
Jeff works at Rainforest QA (we're YCS12) doing QA stuff for our customers. He's happy to answer any beef you have with his hot takes right here :)
I agree with that point. Debian has a repository known as backports (https://backports.debian.org/). But they note that it is not as well tested as the stable repository, and it is on an as-is basis, so not all packages are in there.

However, Debian Stable is not the distro you want to run if you want the latest packages. I think Ubuntu and Arch are two distros that do that more? I have not looked around for new distros in several years, Debian is my OS of choice.
It's standard profit maximization. If you can get a customer to pay $X, and then also sell their data on the side for $Y, then why wouldn't you do it?

Generally, people are prohibited from reselling the things the common items of our existence: electricity, internet service, food, and so on. Businesses have no such restrictions, even though like food, personally-attributable information can be put to harm.
We've been in proxy wars pretty much nonstop since MAD became a thing.
So they cannot do even the basic issue tracking? Wow, what a mess.
I think this is actually a better analogy than debt (notice that equity and debt are on the same side of the ledger); just as future valuation of the company is uncertain, so may also be the business value of the quick hack. I.e. in the same way that a certain VC investment may or may not be wise, the quick hack has the same uncertainty attached.

Add to this that the business people may have a bad grasp of the true cost of the hack, and the developers little insight into the business value of it, you get the current situation.
The title is clickbait.
You're severely armchair architecting here. What happens if sensors fail? How often do sensors need to be replaced? Do sensors behave well under inclement weather conditions (snow is a common source of glare). What if an emergency vehicle flashes their sirens and floods the street with light? There's a lot we don't know, and while there may be satisfying solutions to these problems, we're not there yet. In the meantime, subjecting humans to this insanity due to some "inferential evidence" that doesn't hold water is highly reckless.

Your argument is "Sensors are better than humans!", and that's a non-argument, inferential or otherwise.
Marketing and advertising is a 24/7 job for me. As soon as I take my foot off the pedal my sales suffer. You can automate some of it with email flows and facebook/instagram advertising , but you still have to stay on top of the analytics and keep the content fresh. The thing that works really well for me is treating the customers like human beings. The customer is always right. Being nice flows out and then your customers want to help promote your business on social media etc. Try everything.
Is there any public research about the inverse correlation between framerate and nausea? If there is a perceptible one in that range, it would mean that higher framerate does make a difference, even without being aware of it. This would only be worthwhile for VR.
Yep, React seems to have been built from the beginning as a new foundation. It leveraged ES6 features just as they were coming out, so we got to learn a new way to write JavaScript and HTML at the same time.

This is a good insight. I'd tweak it slightly, and say that people are looking for an unsophisticated win that doesn't feel like a shell game.

What would settle this is if Tesla were to "pull it off", then we could see if it's blind nostalgia for what you mention, or a preference for simple and obvious utility and productivity.

Detroit churning out cars that move and employ Americans is a simpler win to process than the perpetually-almost-here future Musk may or may not be selling.
I have on occasion called 911 and reported a crime in progress that happened a large distance away from me, coming to my location would have been useless, should I have refrained from calling?

I'm not saying that I don't think there is a use for this feature, but your claims are bordering on the absurd.
I'm sure it's little consolation, but kudos to you for sticking to your ethics. I sure wish more in the tech community would take this approach!
Thank you! Pricing is still subject to change as I get more data from the market but the aim was to price it by the value it provides developers over just going off what the servers cost to run.
The only bizarre thing is the HTML was ever separate from JavaScript in the first place.
Most of the need for high frame rate is simple lag reduction during head motion. Sensitivity to frame rate and flicker have been extensively studied by SMPTE and others over the past 100 years. The research that went into 24 fps playback for movies (projected in darkened rooms, where the eye is less able to detect framerate induced flicker) and 50 or 60 fps playback of interleaved video for TV (in well lit rooms where the visual sensitivity to flicker is higher) is quite good. The work that went into measuring human visual acuity for using in defining HD broadcast specs was similarly good, and the human eye hasn’t changed much in the past 100 years (except to end up with weaker muscles for shifting between near and far focus). Simply rattling of $BigNum or %maxInt% as resolution and framerate targets isn’t the way to set standards.

Well, in the case of these specific tariffs that the US is imposing, they're on components of things, not on finished goods. So it's actually going to be cheaper to manufacture the entire thing in China, rather than import the components and assemble in the US.

Ah yes this, I am lucky to discover the MicroConf Crowd early on in HackerNews.

Patio11 taught me how to raise my salary in my full time job.

Amy Hoy got me off the couch and start building products (that user wants).

Asset price inflation, yes. Not consumer price inflation, which has been low to nonexistent for a very long time.

So when the bubble bursts, their wealth will come surging right back down.
Buying a 144Hz display was both a great and horrible decision for me. Great because games at 144Hz feel extremely smooth. Horrible because now I can't enjoy 60Hz.

Since you mentioned LSD, I wonder if technology like this could one day replace hallucinogenic drugs? At least partially - I'm sure some people will always prefer the chemical experience. I've always been pretty interested in the effects of hallucinogens, but could never bring myself to try any of them due the potential risks.

I wonder how much "your brain actually believes it's all real instead of merely perceiving it" matters... I know there have been a few times where I've gotten so sucked into a movie in a darkened theater that when it ends its incredibly jarring to be brought back to the real world, and the times that's happened to me haven't even been 3D movies, let alone interactive like AR.
Yeah, it's night and day.
Such a brilliant and simple idea I've seen on HN so far. It's a strong evidence that the designer can contribute back to the community.

We avoid Webpack/Parcel and NPM dependencies entirely. I understand that convenience wins for most people, but it comes with a cost. Dependencies are magically stitched together with limited developer insight, arbitrary 3rd party code can make it into your production bundle on a whim, and it is far from "optimized" output.

We use rollup[1] for our production bundle. We manage all 3rd party dependencies by source control. We don't need to rely on NPM for ES5/ES6/CommonJS/AMD/Modules - We have full control of each dependency to use the code that is most fit. Sometimes that is already checked-in by the author, sometimes we need to build it, sometimes we can use the modern ES6 code directly, sometimes we can remove duplicate polyfills already in our bundle.

It takes bit more discipline, but the extra security, optimal build, and peace of mind knowing how things work, are well worth the effort to us.

I used default mirrors and I didn't file a report because I'm not sure where and which part of the system is to blame. All IPv6 traffic was slow. This question is from 2 years ago so I assumed it's a known issue.
Debian testing is pretty fine, especially if you need newer software than the current stable, and want to be transitioned into the stable state once it becomes that.

I especially tend to install it (or upgrade to it) on servers during freeze time.
A hub will limit your speed significantly. They aren't usually bidirectional.
I used to use a linux PC with multiple ports. You can enable port forwarding and capture traffic as it passes through. Use a 3rd port to access it.
However, I've recently acquired a managed 5 port switch. I didn't know these were available, but they are awesome and pretty cheap.

Hey, at least they are trying to suppress democracy more proactively now, so they don't have to mow down pro-democracy protesters with guns and run over them with takes and make corpse pancakes.
Presumably the binaries were listed on the torrent networks, also meaning few people would actually pay for it (anecdotal).

Selling end-user software is hard. The license itself probably won't make or break you.
Well, that's your opinion (also happens to be my opinion) but is certainly not other people's.

It was a very popular idea amongst the far-left during the campaign and immediately after. Glenn Greenwald managed to write a 3000+ word treatise on the causes of the Brexit vote without once mentioning "immigration". I thought was quite the work of idealogical contortion and purity, but I don't think it's aged well at all. Plenty of people still seem to subscribe to these ideas though.

Non US startups: Is it possible to withdraw USD from PayPal without conversion?
So my friend who is not from US works at a startup. And we see PayPal charged them 2% more (compared to transferwise) on currency conversion to HKD from USD.

That only works out if those higher salaries get paid to the people who need them, and that the majority of those profits don't get sucked up by those at the top. Given the last 30 years or so, I really do not believe that those at the bottom will have any benefit. They'll still get the same crappy wages, and now everything is more expensive for them.
Revenues show sales, profits show sales + costs + spending. Wayfair, for example, has large revenues, and is profitable for its businesses, but not after it's spending. The spending though is because they've found a weakness in their business model, and they're building assets fix the problem. In the long term, they'll be able to grow faster, it will be harder for competitors to enter, and they'll be able to get higher margins. Revenue tells a story that profit can't.
They want to be the only people who can sell this where the real money is: military and law enforcement.
I upvoted you, thank you for replying, but please give me a bit of charity and understand I was replying with the standard geological uncertainties assumed. But my understanding is the best fit is volcanic activity by peat or coal beds over a much longer relative timeframe than current emissions.
I've heard about this game but what exactly is it that makes people say it's a mix of Terraria and Diablo, besides the creator? It looks almost identical to Terraria to me, which also has you building on the surface and descending deeper and deeper into the world.
The article goes to great length to highlight Apple having lobbyists in Beijing. A fair question is why?

Are they so afraid to send the message that they are powerless, and have zero control over them being or not being the next company to suffer Beijing's banhammer?

I do remember, back in iPhone 5 days. It took only a single minor customs official to hold their entire initial shipment of few millions units hostage.

Back then, it was said their entire legal team was sent to hold watch by the door of the bonded customs zone administrative building.

The fact is that 20% of the world's poorest has a smartphone and is in many cases more valuable than running water or sanitation.

Within 10-20 years we will have 50km range wifi, with solar powered batteries and ultra low cost computing power and many more of the poor will be brought into the connected economica world via smartphones, long range power and internet tech and micro transactions with ultra low fees powered by tech like bitcoin (cash).

The last startup I worked at 3 years ago sold Android smartphones for $5 USD.

Unbelievable that I get called out of touch when the author is a couple years behind the curve. Nice vision and imagination, man.
Ahh, good to know.

Anything you can do about someone tilting their head? That feels like the biggest remaining immersion breaker with pre-rendered stereoscopic videos.
"By August of 2014 the EBC researchers had preliminary results on their 17 volunteers: The data showed “no significant difference” in energy expenditure. That didn’t mean it was a failure; to the researchers, they had succeeded in verifying the methodology before using it in an even bigger, longer study.

"But when Hall presented the pilot’s results in-person to representatives from NuSI at a meeting in Bethesda in September, they were not so rosy-eyed.... “From my perspective, the pilot was a failure for several reasons,” says Taubes."

Then, there's

"The fourth and largest [NuSI-backed study], conducted at Stanford, randomized 600 overweight-to-obese subjects into low-fat versus low-carb diets for a year and looked at whether or not their weight loss could be explained by their metabolism or their DNA. Published this February in JAMA, the study found no differences between the two diets and no meaningful relationship between weight loss and insulin secretion. The most significant finding was that it’s hard to stick to a diet for a whole year."

The rest of the story may not describe the failure of studies.

"As the remaining researchers continued to clash with NuSI over the summer about the second phase, the pilot results were finally published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in July. They received a lot of media attention, in no small part because Hall said the pilot, along with another study he’d conducted previously, “basically falsify” the theory that sugar makes people fat. By the end of the summer the Arnold Foundation had decided not to fund the second phase of the study."
Sure. It’s Cimpress, the parent company of Vistaprint (the policy was authored when we were “just” Vistaprint).
It's still ~50 years of the average household income in the USA. Which is to say more than most Americans will make in their entire lives.
What do you mean by virtue signaling, and how should they defend their choice without virtue signaling?

Is it possible that some just prefer to use something that feels closer to the W3C standards?

Or is the virtue signaling about it being a facebook project, with facebook being a threat to the open web? Angular is a google project, but I've heard some say that since Evan You used to work for google it's sort of like it's a google project, which I disagree with. The clear winner of the three for being independent of FAAMG is Vue. Angular at least has its own GitHub organization that makes it a bit less blatant of an ad for its corporate steward (remember io.js and the movement to get Node moved out of Joyent to a foundation?).

Right now, per mile, self-driving cars are much less safe than humans. As has been noted before though, we don't have that many miles of data on self-driving cars, and the tech is still quite young and there's (probably) a lot of room for improvement.
