Dude, you really need to get out more.
Now I want to see a story that takes the "lost in the company" myth to farcical extremes, with an entire legion of stormtroopers having to fend for themselves in a remote corner of a Superduper Star Destroyer.
Off this topic, Is this article flagged for being politics, or some other reason? With a few exceptions the discussion seemed substantive.
Are you really comparing your professional expertise with something you've just started to learn for your wedding website?

If all you know is C, writing an “Hello world” in C will be easier than doing the same in Python, but is that really a good insight of which language is easier to write ?
Sure, both are entertainment in that they provide enjoyment to their fans. However, the one deals with deep issues of existence, identity, reality, and meaning, while the other deals with superficial issues such as which vampire hunk is going to hook up with which vampire babe (or so I presume -- I actually haven't read/watched Twilight or any other supernatural romances).

To the extent that art deals with deep issues of critical importance to humanity, it at least strives to rise above the mass of "pure entertainment" which does not strive for anything more than entertaining and distracting its audience from just such serious contemplation. To the extent said art succeeds in what it tries to accomplish, and does so in a profound, engaging, and unforgettable way, it is great.
I did once, about 18 months ago.

A couple of problems I remember having:

- Not all features (e.g. most built in directives) work in JSX, and some 3rd party libs didn't work at all as JSX components.

- The JSX isn't a direct mapping to the object properties in `createElement`, which is how (almost?) every other flavor of JSX works. This means you don't just have to learn the the low-level `createElement` API, you also have to learn how that API maps to JSX. [1]

For example, you can't do `<div domProps={{ innerHTML: 'foobar' }} />`, which you might expect if you just read the `createElement` docs. Instead, you have to use `<div domPropsInnerHTML="foobar" />` (but note that not all `domProps` actually need the prefix [2]). Likewise, event handlers use an `onEvent` camel case convention that maps to the `on` property in `createElement`, which is kinda nice because that's how you add event handlers in other JSX flavors. However, it also means that if a Vue component accepts an `onSomething` prop, you actually have to do something like `propsOnSomething` [3] in JSX, because passing just `onSomething` would convert it to `on: { something: ... }` instead of `props: { onSomething: ... }`.

Overall, when I was trying to use JSX with Vue, it very much felt like a second-class feature, tacked on primarily (if not exclusively) to help convert people from React. However, Vue's flavor of JSX doesn't seem to appreciate that the simplicity of how React maps JSX to `React.createElement` is a large part of its brilliance.

In other words, I think that Vue's flavor of JSX introduces just enough magic to make it confusing. It sacrifices consistency for haphazard ergonomics, making the experience frustrating for someone used to JSX being just an XML-like alternative syntax for `createElement` (or `h` or `m`). I think Vue's JSX would be much better if it didn't try to do any magic, and just forced people to write stuff like `<button on={{ click: () => {} }} />` instead.

In the end, I gave up on using JSX with Vue, tried templates for a bit, didn't like them, and moved away from Vue altogether.

Caveat lector: Things might be a lot better now. I tried to read up a bit to see, but I didn't dig very deeply.

> You need look no further than the USA's gaping trade deficits.

A “trade deficit” is just another name for a capital inflow surplus.

If you want a smaller trade deficit, reduce the degree to which you systematically favor capital.

Of course, what policymakers usually justify based on a trade deficit is increased support for domestically headquartered firms and other supports for capital invested in the country, which results in more net foreign investment and higher trade deficit, which is used to support more capital-serving policy, which results in more capital inflows, etc.

Ask HN: Who's starting new towns in the US?
There are around 1500 towns in the US with population between 10,000 and 25,000 [1]

So it's not like this hasn't been done before. And sort of the ultimate chance to engineer the world you want to live in -- I'd think people would be really into it.

I know that YC has/had a "New Cities" initiative but I haven't seen updates in years.

I invested a lot into a full React webapp - it would be great to share some of that code with mobile apps. I have an iOS background but was intending to make a RN app so that I could share the bulk of the React webapp code and get Android support as well.

I have separation of container components and presentational SFCs so I’m thinking I could easily re-implement UI layers in RN if I wanted to without sacrificing the shared code. Do you think this is a reasonable approach? Or should I ditch RN completely and build native...?

It would be nice if there was a way I could pull that shared JS logic (which really doesn’t have much dependencies) into mostly-native apps without having to adopt RN... maybe I could just repurpose the JS bridge and be aware of its limitations (a sync/serialized/batched..)
This isn't quite the whole story.

Typically (not always), if someone goes to prison, it is because of them using up many chances to avoid going -- or they did something particularly heinous. Japanese prisons are not flooded with minor drug violators like US prisons are.

First, the police I've met in Japan are VERY willing to look the other way rather than convict someone on a serious-but-relatively-minor offense (e.g., drinking and driving while not "drunk"). I have also known them to handle delicate situations in very diplomatic ways (e.g., appropriate but definitely illegal street justice).

The stories I have heard of people going to jail involved that person breaking the law repeatedly and with multiple warnings (usu. with accompanying letters they had to write saying that they would not continue to behave in a criminal way).

In the more provincial areas (even the small cities), the police actually have a pretty good feel of what is going on in their towns -- the speed of gossip is impressive. If anyone is acting up, it would not be surprising for the police to find out and just go have a friendly talk with that person reminding them that doing $CRIME is, well, a crime that might have very unfortunate consequences. That discussion usually puts a lid on it.

I will also add that for a very large portion of the population, the peer pressure to conform goes extremely far in discouraging people from doing things that would put them in prison. The idea of prison itself is just a foreign idea for most people.

I haven not recently updated my reading on the Japanese criminal justice system (most of my knowledge is 10+ years old), but I don't recall reading much that made me feel like there were many prisoners were in prison unreasonably. A few were, but just a few, and completely different than the US where it's obvious that quite a few people are in prison for things like minor offenses, getting framed, not being able to afford decent representation, etc.

...which vampire hunk is going to hook up with which vampire babe (or so I presume -- I actually haven't read/watched Twilight or any other supernatural romances).

With the sole exception of an added vampire/werewolf hunk you nailed it. The subject matter though is less problematic than the really abysmal writing. PKD didn’t always have the best writing style, but made up for it with content. Twilight is derivative content delivered in appalling fashion.
I can't see anything in the linked contract that says YT is forcing them to monetize it. Other than one email months ago that hasn't been confirmed I see nothing to suggest this is a policy change YT have actually made.

PERGOLA PADDINGTON REVIEW
Schrodinger's Bug
It's happening because the US is very competitive as a place to invest capital. Trade deficit can be visualized as people in the US selling capital and using the proceeds to buy goods; the reality is more complex and has more intermediate steps, but that's the net effect.
Japan is also a unique case in that they have a 99% conviction rate in criminal cases. The best research I’ve seem explains this in terms of extremes of prosecutorial discretion: only sure-win cases are taken to court. If you end up in a Japanese prison, you really really fucked up, broke the law, and provided the government with an open and-shut case.

As a result the “low crime rate” and “high conviction rate” are both somewhat artificial. A lot of crimes go unreported, or at the very least unprosecuted. Japan does have a relatively low crime rate, but the criminal element can often get away, especially if the victim is homeless, another criminal, or in some other way an outsider.
Props to Ford for recognizing that the trends of technology and demography are slowly going to obsolete the car as we know it. Changing to a downtown focused, hip, "mobility" company is the right direction. Focusing on electric, autonomous, and shared vehicles is also probably the correct vision.

What surprises me though is how Ford can see that the future is Urban while also not stumbling into the niche of building railcars. In the decades since the streetcar conspiracy, all the US based manufactures of railcars have died. Bombardier to the North is in dire straits for airplane related reasons. The Japanese (I forget which company) have had difficulty fulfilling an AmTrack contract because a requirement that everything be American Made means they need to reinvent their entire supply line. Also they are having difficulty meeting the (overly stringent) FRA requirements. Ford has both the US logistics to pull it off and perhaps even the lobbying clout to make the FRA more reasonable. They are already in the vehicle business, how hard can it be to transition from tires to steel? I mean FFS they literally just bought a train station.

I don't think it cannibalizes their car division to do what I'm suggesting. In terms of people moved per hour, a city cannot live on personal vehicles alone. Subways, cars and bikeshares can and should all co-exist.
In scenarios where there exists a trusted central party, blockchain is not an applicable solution. Transitioning from such a centralized system to blockchain would require substantial investment for hypothetical gains.

However there are many scenarios where it would be infeasible to have a central party. A farmer grows an organic coffee bean in one country and it needs to get to a coffee shop in another country. There are multiple parties and industries involved: the farmer's supplier, the organic certification authorities, the trucking companies that transport the product between farmer/roaster/port/coffee shop, the foreign customs agency, the ocean shipping company, the numerous insurance companies involved, the domestic customs agency, the wholesale distributors, the coffee shops. Throw in the IoT sensors for measuring watering, pesticide use, transport climate, storage climate, and so on that report to the blockchain (which records out-of-tolerance conditions).

Let's say the consumer wants proof the product is organic, how would you do it? What if the beans arrive spoiled, who is responsible? How about if there is an accident, which of the insurance companies is responsible? Who do they pay? What if an outbreak of disease results from the coffee, how would you find the culprit?

The thing is, the world today works. We have records on paper, databases, and huge numbers of people involved in figuring out those questions (though some questions and business models are effectively impossible, like "What if the farmer wants to set the price for a cup of coffee, instead of selling to distributors, how would they do that?").

But these people don't talk to each other. What if there was a trusted business/industrial network of databases that could be integrated into business operations? What new business models, efficiencies, and products would that system enable? That is the promise of blockchain. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are silly toys by comparison.

Blockchain is in its infancy. By analogy, if blockchain were the internet, it would be at the stage of dialing into your local BBS by using an acoustic coupler. It is hard to imagine what the world will look like in 30-40 years when industrial/business uses of blockchain are advanced and pervasive.

No, man. He said Firefox should change their architecture, and he gave some kind of example.

Also, you're the one frequently mentioning how varied workloads are, and you don't constitute the discussion.

I have some friends who fall into this category. They end up using stuff like Kratom, which I guess is fairly effective. The DEA almost made it illegal recently, but I guess enough are helped by it, a letter writing campaign ended with a rare reversal. I've tried it for fun (and back pain); seems pretty effective to me. Suspect it's hard on the liver.

It is messed up how the medical profession is with its incentives. ~15 years ago my doctor wanted to give me oxys for just about any complaint ("doc they canceled Star Trek Enterprise" here have some oxys).

Its not a part of systemd, its a part of ifupdown that was added to aide Debian's transition from SysV to systemd.

Iperf 2.0.10+ uses clock_gettime() when a timestamps is needed. For TCP and no interval reporting the only calls needed are at the beginning and end of the test. The performance problem we hit with 2.0.5 had to do with insufficient shared memory between traffic threads and the reporter thread.

I've had them be annoying to me before. My favorite PP fact I found out the hard way: never put the string 'aleph' in the note field. Apparently that's flagged as a Terror-Word(tm), and it held up a transaction of mine for over a month.

I still use them, but only under modified-casino rules: never play with money you can't lose. Have a separate bank account just for them, so they can't get up to shenanigans with more than you intend; never depend on them for anything time sensitive; and never send money anyone depends on for anything important.

If I resign before my raise is effective...I don't get my raise.
Their account got cancelled because the contract did not get renewed. Sounds like the company fulfilled the terms of the original contract, just (accidentally) didn't renew it. Many long term contracts require periodic renewals and/or options.

Chrome does not use one process per tab. In fact, it does something very similar to what you say Firefox does.

http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/process-...

FWIW I do not have the problem you describe and I don't want Firefox wasting any more of my scarce memory, or for that matter, CPU.
There's also some funkiness around the CPU cache, at least at one stage. If your two HT threads are working on the same data, there was a chance you'd get some great cache performance out of it. However the hyperthread when faced with a cache miss, can cause the cache to get evicted to be replaced with the data it needs. Under those circumstances, performance takes quite a nose dive as both threads are stomping over each other somewhat.

Hyperthreading can be a real mixed bag for performance, though generally good and a lot of engineering effort has gone in to making it shine. As ever it's strongly advisable that people benchmark real world conditions on a server, and it's worth giving a shot with hyperthreading turned on and off.
That part makes total sense. It doesn’t make sense that a human could not override.

No I didn't. If I did, I would be excusing china's behavior. But I'm not. What I am saying is that china isn't rewriting the rules, I'm saying the US and EU are rewriting the rules of the internet. Maybe china can rewrite the rules within their "intra"net, but that isn't affecting me or anyone else around the world. EU's vote tomorrow,

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/internet-luminaries-ri...

has far greater impact on the internet than anything china could do.

> Maybe the agenda is to be able to have a conversation about a topic, without the conversation getting hijacked?

But my point was on topic. I was rejecting the notion that china is rewriting the rules of the internet.

But for some odd reason, anytime someone disagrees with the clickbaiting media, a few accounts start accusing you of whataboutism or even russian botting. The "whataboutism" response has already been exposed as a standard brigading technique by political groups/media on reddit, facebook and most of social media. It's 2015/2016 that nobody uses anymore because it's been exposed as propaganda. It's shocking to see it on hacker news, but we are always late to the party I guess.

> That's because this article is about China, not about the US or Europe. What you did is exactly whataboutism.

No. The article is about the rules of the internet. The bit about china is just propaganda to distract from the EU vote tomorrow. The fact that I disagreed with the major point of the article isn't whataboutism. It's the truth. The threat to the internet isn't from china, who are pretty much confined to their own national intranet. The threat is from corporations, the media and the wealthy who want to control the internet.

You know the people supporting and voting for more censorship and control tomorrow.

and yet the other response is exactly what that post described.

If people are discussing in good faith, why aren't they willing to do it on an account that matters to them?
