> What are the remaining APIs that people need in Electron that are not available in the web browser? And what's the timeline to getting those in the browser to deprecate Electron?

I get what you're saying but to me, even if I could do literally everything that node does inside the browser, that STILL would not deprecate electron for me.

It's not lack of functionality in the browser that's a problem for me. It's mutability of the browser.

With electron, I get to use ONE version of javascript, ONE implementation of the DOM, ONE implementation of CSS. Period.

I do not give a single hoot about that ancient corporate version of IE you have to use at work. About how this looks in safari, versus edge versus, opera, versus whatever.

It simply doesn't matter anymore.

no more shims, and I can dump about half of the frameworks and stuff from my code because of it.

If I get an app going that everyone likes and I actually want it on the web, THEN I can go and add all the cruft I'll need to make it work out there in the wild.

this is a very good thing (at least for me).
New York is boring because a bunch of boring, wealthy suburbanites moved in. These people can not tell the difference between patina and dirt. They need their surroundings to conform to their sensibilities, mainly, new and clean and full of people willing to pay $10 for a burrito. It's full of artists, but it's more like rich people who decided to be artists. They can't really create anything relevant or interesting or revolutionary.

New York used to be a place you would move to Make It. Now it's a place for those who have already Made It (or their parents did) to live.

If you are from a wealthy suburb, if your daddy is helping you pay rent (or maybe your college education), then NYC is the place for you. If you are a dreamer or an artist, or anyone else with ambition without pedigree, then Detroit, Baltimore, literally any other city will be more accepting of you.

Please keep this in mind whenever someone calls for more power for the Government. Beware arguments of the form "I can't believe the Government hasn't banned (bad thing x) yet!".

There's a kind of reinforcing loop, where the more power the government gets, the more it attracts those who abuse that power, who are the most effective at coming up with reasons to make their organization more powerful and unaccountable.

However good the intentions sound at each step, it ends in tyranny all too often.
Hinge sells 51 percent of shares to Match Group
Tax Jar is another. I dont have a problem paying the fees but as stated above, the filing in all jurisdictions is such a pain it will knock out alot of small sellers online. The seller will have to pay a bond in nearly every state and some cities which can add upto thousands of $$. No clue how the Chinese sellers will handle it, they probably just wont remit.

I think eBay and Etsy side hustle sellers especially should be worried. This helps large internet retailers like Amazon. They have the systems in place to charge and remit sales tax for 3rd party merchants, they've just been waiting until this ruling happened.
It sounds like Avalara costs $50 per year for small businesses, but scales up for larger companies. So compliance is trivial if it truly works.

It's 88% correct classification on a validation data set consisting of 154 patients diagnosed with ASD. Their validation dataset did not contain a "typically developing" population since there's only one dataset for that data and it was consumed in their model generation. Their training data resulted in a 5% misclassification rate of their controls - that is 5% of patients that were not diagnosed with ASD in current tests would be classified as having ASD in this scheme.

You are aware that you want people to pay for the 'right' to be guinea pigs?

Your argument sadly does not add much to the discussion. If we were debating whether to allow people to take these unapproved pills or not you would be right. But we are talking about allowing companies to market and charge for totally untested and unapproved (stated) cures.

If these companies would need to test their treatments to prove that they are really working, why then should people not only bear the risk of (till then unknown) side effects, but also pay hefty sums for that "right"?

The law is the law - and what is right under the eyes of the law does not change because of the politics of the hour.

Every change Obama did under the guise of executive power will come back to haunt the Democrats, and every change Trump does under the guise of executive power will haunt the Republicans in 2-6 years - there is an old adage in politics - "Never give yourself more power than you want your political opponents to have.", which I feel is very germane here.
Population density is about 4x in the US as it is in Sweden. The difference is planning is better here. That is, we pay for good government who do a good job planning how cities expand and putting infrastructure in place before growth happens. Everything can be solved by money, just pay more taxes and hold govt accountable, all will be good in 20-50 years (that's your catch-up time).

It is a skilled ability (price discovery), just not when many other people are also doing it.

The real benefit to passive, indexed investments is not just lower fees, but the ability to hold onto your portfolio without losing sleep. Loosely paraphrased from Bill Bernstein: If your active fund has a bad year or five, you don't know whether it's the fund manager's incompetence or just a rough market. In a passive, indexed fund, you can be sure that it's not the fault of an incompetent manager, thus letting you feel secure in holding onto your investments through thick and thin. Churning your portfolio and paying capital gains tax all along the way is a recipe for underperforming the market.

Both you and Cerium are correct. Depending on buyers to collect sales tax from themselves hasn't been working. And forcing someone in a different jurisdiction to do it might not be defensible.

>> Second, when I say I trust these reporters it's because I don't have access to more authoritative information or analyses, but I still maintain a reasonable skepticism.

I just finished reading this (one of the references in the wikipedia article):

Petitto, L. A., & Seidenberg, M. S. (1979). On the evidence for linguistic abilities in signing apes. Brain and Language, 8(2), 162-183.

Quick version: Patterson's research with Koko was poorly documented and does not stand up to scrutiny. For instance, instead of compiling a corpus of Koko's utterances she presented only individual examples. This makes it impossible to know whether an utterance reported as being in context in a specific situation was actually as claimed- because we have no idea how often Koko signed the same utterance in different contexts [the article needs Elsevier access. See my profile email if you have questions].

It is possible to find many more examples of strong criticisms of Patterson's research with Koko, as well as other similar research (Gardner and Gardner with Washoe and Terrace and Bever with Nim Chimpsky). Basically, I don't think there's anyone who thinks apes have shown any linguistic ability (well, apes except for humans, of course).

>> Regarding the authenticity of your anecdote (...)

Well, it is exactly the authenticity of my anecdote that is what a scientific analysis would need to determine. Our ability to empathise is not questioned. The question is whether we can use reports of our feelings as evidence to make claims about the nature of reality.

If I visit my ancient ancestors' ruined citadel on the Athens Akroplois, my chest might heave with emotion. But what does that tell us about my ancestors, or their building of the Akropolis (or even about whether they were my ancestors in the first place)?

What information can you get from reports of an emotional state, other than that someone reports an emotional state?
Your sense of how leadership works is really screwed up. Nothing in TFA suggests being "weak". Quite the opposite, per the author's intent, and I agree: "It's still forceful and unambiguous." The most scathing responses I've ever written in my professional career contained zero profanity, zero ad-hominem attacks, or other attempts at verbal abuse. But they still had unambiguous and devastating impact. If your only concept of strength of leadership amounts to "be maximum asshole", then you have a really horrific concept of leadership.

Instead, I'll offer this. In my experience, great leadership is the skill of getting a group of people to take action on a cause without having/using authority over them. Instead, you seem to think leadership is about taking authority over people by being a jerk to them.

No one's saying that Linus shouldn't be a strong advocate for the kernel. This is entirely about his refusal to acknowledge or improve lousy communication skills that obfuscate his generally excellent technical arguments, and needlessly push away contributors who have actual self respect.
Ideally, there would be an API provided by the federal government that would give you a list of tax rates for any address. Where there's always a standard rate for general goods, and then any additional rates for things like school supplies or other stuff.
Today's US Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v Wayfair eliminates the "physical presence" test for sales tax jurisdiction. [1] Thus your prospective employer's reasoning (at least as far as substantial presence for sales tax purposes) turns out to have been moot.

However, depending on the employer's business form, etc, there could be other implications to remote employee location beyond just complying with state payroll tax and labor law obligations. For example, when I was in a partnership, my out-of-state partners still had to pay state income tax on income "sourced" in my state even though they lived in a zero-income-tax jurisdiction.

See the following analysis by Brad Templeton, a SDC expert:

Road wear
There is strong potential to reduce the damage to roads (and thus the cost of maintaining them, which is immense and seriously in arrears) thanks to the robotruck. That's because heavy trucks and big buses cause almost all the road wear today. A surprising rule of thumb is that road damage goes up with the 4th power of the weight per axle. As such an 80,000lb truck with 34,000lb on two sets of 2 axles and 6,000lb on the front axle does around 2,000 times the road damage of a typical car! An interesting solution is now possible. With fully self-driving trucks (or platoons with nobody in the rear vehicle) you can have two half-weight trucks, which would do 1/8th the damage. 4 1/4 weight trucks would do roughly 1/16th the damage. This is a bit more expensive in fuel and truck wear, though you can get back some of it with platooning. The platoon can space out further on bridges to avoid stressing them.

You might have a point about what the author is saying but that doesn't kill postmodernism.

You don't need objective truth to establish useful and constructive assumptions. It's perfectly fine to reduce reality into something more narrow and confined.

As an example. You can use classical physics to get to Mars with a spaceship. But you can't use it to travel faster than light to Alpa Centauri (but maybe quantum physics). Both classical physics and quantum physics are proven to the extent we can prove anything but they are in contradiction to each other and tells us something different about reality (one says it's local another says it fundamentally non-local)

Or you can believe the world is flat which is good enough for you to get from village A to B but not good enough to navigate the entire planet.

Postmodernism is not a critique of what is useful but claims about what is true and objective.

Derrida and Foucault were caught in the same semantic mesh as the rest of us they just showed through that how elusive it is. Derrida especially showed through his writing.

Yes, you're correct. I didn't do a good job explaining the difference. I considered editing to add a note, but I think your comment explains it clearly enough to make that unnecessary.
Note that the best economies don't always equate to the best performing capital markets. Investors in China lost quite a bit of money during periods of immense growth.

If you don't have confidence in America, you could diversify by holding a portion of money in indexed international funds. But be careful, no one can predict the future! Best to hold a little bit of everything.

SaaS is taxable in some states [1], so if you have nexus in one of those states you'll want to register for a sales tax permit and collect sales tax for that state. When these states introduce thresholds similar to South Dakota, you may be obligated to collect sales tax in additional states.

You can use a sales tax API with Stripe [2] to calculate sales tax before processing the payment. From there, you'll have to remit the sales tax to the state manually or use sales tax compliance software like TaxJar or Avalara.

Could you elaborate on why you find Rust to be an alternative to Erlang? For me at least, most of the draw of Erlang has nothing to do with the language, and everything to do with BEAM/OTP and the surrounding architecture, which (as far as I'm aware) Rust does not provide an alternative to in any shape or form.
But Java is an actual well designed language. A bit verbose yes. Lacking generics early on, yes.

JavaScript however is in a way similar to PHP and I'd say more dangerous as, unlike PHP it doesn't have a ugly syntax to warn you.

I've been working in the JS ecosystem lately and suddenly crazy knowledge from my life as PHP programmer turns out to be useful:

- adding statements above a function or a class? No problem: will be run on loading the file just line in PHP.

- == not checking if things are equal? Just use === like in PHP

Thst said I'm really impressed with the ecosystem. It is just JavaScript the language that needs to be replaced.

The issue of Sony disallowing cross-play is not the reason for controversy in this case.

Hmm, so I wonder what the cause of the controversy really is.

It's actually because logging in to a Fortnite account on PS4 irreversibly locks that account to Sony's walled garden.

Oh, so it is Sony.

Regardless of how Sony went about the cause I don't see how you can make a distinction regarding the effect.
Yes this happens over time as clinical terms are used in a derogatory manner over a period of several decades. This will always happen and some clinical terms will continually need to be revised over time. It doesn't mean that "disorder" isn't appropriate in 2018.

In matters of all things that is technology, I am totally beginner. And when I am totally beginner, I have no way to decide which one is good tutorial. This had actually happened to me. I learned a lot of wrong stuffs and that is not the bad part. The bad part is that I realized my mistakes way too late and often in painful ways.

First lessons are the lessons which usually stick with you for a long time. It shapes your take and mindset about technology. For example, to learn C, I picked a book 'Let us C' and some blogs written.by novices. At that time I knew nothing about either C or this book. Much later I realized that book is utter garbage. This affected me badly. I had to relearn C and even now I can see I still think in C in the ways that crappy book taught me.
So competition might prevent one of many downsides to different states having different laws? I don't see why this means there's any benefit to that situation over just having one set of laws?
