I think the issue is that people keep expecting something from React that React has specifically stated it does not do, which is handle everything. It's always been a library, not a framework, to give people to freedom of choice to choose or omit other libraries or frameworks.

I remember working on Angular 1 projects, where literally everything from loops to http calls was mandated by the framework. Then everything suddenly became legacy. Angular was going to be completely rewritten, and everything I had learned was going to be tossed away. I still, to this day, have to work with projects that are Angular 1 code rot hell.

I think that's probably why I have never had the problem's you have had, because I never wanted to use React Router or Redux. Those pieces of functionality were easy to implement on my own. (Redux itself is incredibly small)

Personally, I think it's silly to use Vue. Angular had serious deficiencies and project mismanagement, and React was a real solution to those problems. I mostly hear either minor grievances from the Vue crowd, or no response at all as to why they switched (hype train most likely).

I also don't think Flux was vague, it just lacked an implementation. Again, there just seems to be a big fear in the JS community about writing code instead of pulling in a framework. React itself is just reactive functional programming. The sell of not writing it yourself is that you get to work with a nicer API while the React team improves the backend for you (a la Fiber).
There's docker and there's docker. Docker as a local container builder/runner is simple. Docker as a deployment / networking / scheduling service is not. Not everyone is using Docker for more than "run this script in an environment I want".

Isn't that what Lemonade initially tried to do? They ended up having to go to their charity angle because of rebate laws. How do you think you are different? Mutuals do not seem to have a competitive advantage when it comes to Loss Ratios...what is your thesis exactly? Not to mention Lemonade is running at almost 3x their filed Loss Ratio now.

End of the day, personal lines is a very competitive market, where insurers are happy to get a net ~95% combined ratio (including CAT). Why would you think you will do better?

To your first point, "delivers" is the key term. Netflix' "moat" is built around being the deliverer of content. It does other things too, but they are optional. I'm not saying Netflix suck. They don't.

You believe you should get Amazon content for free because you pay for Netflix.

It's impolite to tell people what they believe, or what they said, so I'll take these as conversational questions. In any case, I do not. I am pointing out an inefficiency, a suboptimal economic resolution of the kind a more competitive market dynamic would tend to minimise. The primary reason intermediaries pay extra for exclusivity is exclusivity, cutting out their competition. This doesn't generally happen in markets with enough buyers and sellers.

If there were only two or three retailers in a market, they'd be cutting exclusivity deals with wholesalers or manufacturers of goods.

Is it impossible to write a y-combinator with space complexity O(1)? I'm in the very early stages of a comp/sci education and have not yet learned how to prove that something is impossible.
Probably not:

1. NAT provides a basic level of security for your network. The same could be achieved with a firewall, but it isnt the norm.

2. Even without nat, there would still have to be _some_ computer that does the processing on the raw data from the IoT device. There is no reason that couldnt be your PC or Phone, but the precedent has been set that these tasks are performed on a managed device in the "cloud".

3. The companies involved will make less money.

A better solution would be to have an IoT gateway device publicly accessible that proxies access to the individual IoT devices. This would create a better security story. If this device were standards based, then each IoT vendor could integrate with it, and router vendors could add the capability to their devices. Of course there is no financial incentive for things to work this way.

I guess I only bring up NAT because it is yet another example of the "server" lie. There is no such thing as a computer that is a "server". Programs act as servers. Computers might be "server-class", but all that means is that they are high quality. Driving a wedge between "servers" and normal PCs just pushes more control out of individual's hands.
I don't have data, but I do have anecdotal evidence to contradict #1.

I live in upstate NY, where farm land is cheap (in relative terms). We are seeing an influx of Amish, who can no longer afford land in Ohio and Pennsylvania. (To be clear, they might be able to afford land, but at such a cost as to risk the enterprise and family. The Amish won't do that.)

We are also seeing new farmers moving here from states such as Wisconsin. They have family in those states, but they can't afford the startup costs including land. Here they can.

I think land costs are more complicated than you make out.

You're talking about Redux, not React. Your website would have probably been fine with just React. React gives you the choice to avoid needless frameworks and choose the level of abstraction that best fits your project.
Yes I keep those things in mind while developing. I may have missed one here or there, especially in any code from my early days of development.

Thanks for the link about "skipnav" I haven't heard that term before. I don't really see how that can fit in, though? I guess the category links right at the top of the page is the closest concept?

It doesn't make sense to skip down to item number 200 since there's no way to know what's down there. Best to look at items 1-199 first. That is the same for all users.

Big Fred Rogers fan here. I saw "Won't You Be My Neighbor" in a theatre last week and it cemented my belief that his love and dedication to childhood development is just as necessary today as it was in the 60s and 70s when I watched it. Balance for the "animated barrages" of amusement, as Rogers called them.

So does anyone know how to view/buy/rent a large (complete?) collection of all those wonderful old episodes? I would like to re-watch these with young family members. I'd happily buy a big Blu-ray or DVD set but I didn't see such a thing available on PBS' site.
My name has an unusual spelling, so I always have to spell it on the phone. I've had issues every time I try to use the NATO alphabet for this, because several of the phonetics are names. E.g. someone named Matt might say:

And get the response:

"Ok Mike, now I need..."

It's a weak strategy. If you make an obvious error in many contexts you are very likely to (at best) invite a cascade of critique that otherwise would have been skipped. At worst, you'll be written off permanently as a fool, fired and/or sued.

> affirmative action cuts both ways

... and that also happens in a different way than I think the parent refers to:

When American Major League Baseball, the top professional leagues, began (very gradually) hiring black and Latino players in 1947, it was not affirmative action. In fact it was the end of an affirmative action program for white guys - they had all these jobs specially reserved for them based on their skin color. Many of them were minor-league quality players, who only had their jobs because their skin was white. Generations of black and Latino players simply couldn't get a decent job (the Negro Leagues paid relatively poorly), including some of the best players ever.

(Incidentally, this also helped the statistics of the best players, who regularly batted/pitched against minor leaguers - how many home runs could a modern star hit if maybe a third of the pitchers he faced were minor leaguers?).

The same happens still in other fields - lots of people with jobs that they wouldn't have if they weren't white, male, coming from wealth, etc.

One of the core tenets of decentralized applications is the notion of using programmatic models (i.e. smart contracts) to enforce trust between multiple digital entities that maintain relationships that are often adversarial in nature, which are very common in enterprise businesses – think vendor/client relationship where the obligated parties are bound by legal contracts to fulfill a set of predefined responsibilities where the vendor expects a payment for the services provided to the client and the client expects to receive a reasonable quality of the service rendered by the vendor.

This doesn't mean we should put every legal contracts into the blockchain, but rather implementing blockchain-based solutions starting with the lowest hanging fruit problems that will reduce inefficiencies in the short term. The benefits derived from this will then induce a paradigm shift in how we build businesses and applications that can further leverage the benefits of the increased efficiency (capital liquidity, faster/cheaper transactions, etc.), which will eventually give rise to novel business models and use cases that are not possible and fathomable today.

Just look at alot of paleo diets....they try to replace the carb calories with fat/protein.

The reality is most people should be eating large amounts of vegetables (not starchy ones like corn), meat once a day, some fruit, some milk products.

If people _really_ wanted to be healthy they'd be eating things like riced broccoli with a vegetarian curry with low fat content for lunch/dinner. (i.e. Vindaloo with beans)

For breakfast, have some yogurt, meat, carbs.

Your state is tightly coupled with the actions that mutate that state, not the user interface itself. React wants you to define a higher order function for a button. The button will call that function, but the implementation of that function is only loosely coupled.

1. China bought 4x nuclear plants from Westinghouse. It was clear to everyone involved that China was going to clone their design. Everything had to be built with Chinese labor and engineers and the entire blueprints were handed over to the Chinese. After those 4 are built, China will build as many as they want themselves, likely royalty-free.

2. the 3.3Gw is 24x7 minus downtime/maintenance. The 53GW is less than 12h/day, depending on how it is installed it may well be far less than 12h/day of peak output. So likelier to be ~ 12-18Gw on a continuous basis given night time, cloud cover, rain, efficiency losses, etc. I agree the solar is still significant but it is less than the raw numbers make it appear.
I know that feel. I wish you all the best, and if the situation ever gets worse in our country, I hope that we can somehow move to a country that will protect our existence!!
I use plotly to make SVG outcomes which then help show people things moving to pptx. The nice thing about the plotly svg is how well its written: it works perfectly as the icon form or the real view. (its also significantly nicer than the analogous design elements inside powerpoint, but I can't take people direct to SVG elements on projected things at meetings just yet)

When I hang up this phone, I want there to be no financial relationship between myself and your company of any kind. None. I don't want any further communication from you other than a final statement showing a zero balance due. Now we can make this call as long as you'd like. No. Financial. Relationship. We're done." Then go silent, and if they try to pitch you any products of any kind, interrupt and ask "Are you refusing to cancel my service? Speak clearly for the recording."

Seasons 1-7 are available on Amazon, though I don't know if that covers all of them or not.
No, you push for massive overreach. You never start negotiations asking for what you want.

Sure you do. Political compromise is fundamentally different from haggling over vegetable at the farmer's market. You will almost never get everything you want in the first place, but openly shooting for something more extreme than what your supporters want can alienate them (much as the hard-core would wish otherwise).

We don't live in democracies...

I think the implication is that your card issuer won't fight you on the cancellation, whereas the service provider that is trying to make your life difficult has additional, phone-based hoops for you to jump through.
Amazon Again Avoids Liability for Defective Marketplace Item–Fox V. Amazon
If you focus on the risk management side of personal lines I think you're going to have a hard time to scale. The problem is most consumers don't care enough about coverage to shop for it. What attracts new clients is price, price, price. Clients unfortunately won't worry coverage until they really need it. The problem with focusing on price is you'll attract clients who won't renew after 3-5 years, messing up the retention numbers. Navigating the balance between those two will be critical.

Now there is some space in the high-end personal lines for focus on protection. But there you're competing against entrenched insurance agents.

Small commercial is also a very interesting space to explore. Protection is much more important for these people and the sales process is easier to automate (than med/large commercial.)

How much further does this move us along on human regeneration as it relates to aging?
Yeah, I agree there’s value to learning and using Promises before async/await, since you often need to think in terms of promise vales when using async.

I don’t think there’s value in teaching a beginner about the prototype chain. It’s kind of obsolete knowledge at this point. ES6 classes work great, and will be very familiar to people coming from other languages.

I mean.. if someone was a beginner in Python would you first teach them about the metaclass system? (I wouldn’t)
The Nix team (in particular grahamc with https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg) is working hard on making CI better . But it's true that the on-boarding experience and CLI could be much improved.

It's quite frustrating to me, because after I've been using Nix & NixOS for about 3 years now, there's no way I'd go back to the insanity out there. I never had the amount of stability, control, and predictability on any other platform, from configuring my OS, editors, WM, shell, random ricing, or building VMs, Servers, Docker containers, production deploys, development environments, there's really not much Nix can't handle.
But getting familiar with Nix took some serious effort I'm sure not many people can afford. I begin to understand how frustrated people in the Lisp and Smalltalk communities must feel while people slowly reinvent everything they've enjoyed for decades (and Nix is still in its teens).

Teaching people about the value of having just a single package manager, no matter what OS or language they're using, is mostly futile because there's so much value attributed to being "mainstream" that now we have hundreds of mainstream package managers with varying degrees of sophistication, security, predictability, and ability to _not_ try and take over your system.

I use it to build and develop Go, Ruby, JS, Crystal, Elm, Mint, Haskell, Perl, Bash, VimL, Elisp, Guile, and whatever else comes my way.
All I have to do to get a working and isolated dev env is go into that directory and let nix-shell do the rest. On NixOS you also get nixos-container with all its benefits, so I can test whole networks or just spin up some DBs, all behaving exactly the same they'll be once deployed by simply reusing that configuration.

Of course it also manages Systemd, so I guess we'll just write yet another function to slap a checksum on those containers and control them as well, it's just a shame that humanity loses so much time reinventing the wheel every few months.

On the other hand, there's still a lot of opportunities for start-ups in that space, like https://nixcloud.io, https://www.tweag.io (they just hired Eelco Dolstra so he can work full-time on the Nix core), https://www.packet.net (they sponsor almost all our new CI infrastructure), or https://vpsfree.org/ (first one to offer their own NixOS based distro specifically made for VPSs), which are all doing well.

Methane is a potent GHG, but its residency time in the atmosphere is on the order of one quarter as long as CO2.

So in terms of our ability to adjust future climate forcings, releasing lots of methane in the short term and observing the many negative effects in the near future seems much better to me than releasing lots of CO2 and seeing the cumulative effects of those CO2 emission grow more slowly but last longer.

I think humans tend to deal better with quickly emerging crises than slow ones, so I’d much rather have a methane ecosystem we see problems with than exchange it for an equal forcing amount of CO2.

Of course, we can and should pursue CO2 reductions and fix accidental CH4 emissions at the same time.

I should have said I think think indoor farming is silly(ish)

I live in Australia. the costs of shipping fruit by road from Victoria to Queensland are indeed cheap. Especially when you don't factor road quality, driver rates of pay, loss of jobs in the Queensland agricultural sector. And look, we have tomatoes all year round: crappy ones, with good shelf life, because thats what you need when you ship them by freight truck 1500km to shave 10c per KG off the price, so you can undercut the local produce.

I also know cheap food fuels the economy. I think people have got a bit twisted on cheap. Good food should be cheap enough we can afford it, and expensive enough people can afford to grow it, and if you drive to rationalist economic scale answers too hard, you wind up with three farmers and thirty thousand un-employed ex agicultural workers. And, you wind up with acid-sulphate soil, contaminated water tables, monsanto owning the seed genome.

I'd rather we did some shipping and some local. I'm not particularly hung up on vertical farms, greenhouses are mostly ok with me.

The loss of farming land close to cities to make houses is part of the Queensland South East corner story. We're a giant conurbation, of prime river floodland, some of the best soil in the country. It should be growing Asparagus. Its growing blocks of flats instead.

We tend to think of better nuclear weapons as “bigger”, getting into the double digits in terms of megaton yield. However, the trend over he last 40 years, as computers has shown is, is miniaturization.

Most likely, nuclear weapons will follow a similar law, particular if war forces them back into active development.
