> People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews.

This is obviously incorrect since you can see positive reviews, many of them in fact, on many apps. I myself have posted positive reviews... not sure when you thought I agreed to this.

That alone pretty much kills your whole theory. Sorry but I still don’t agree with you and I think you’re really reaching here. Most importantly though, you have presented zero evidence in favor of your claims.

India has almost the same population as China, and yet they don't choose to wield an authoritative system of population control and management with all the psychological techniques of manipulation and deception that China is.

So how is India doing - worse than China? Every country is different so can't really be compared like that, but I am fascinated to see whether Chinese people will come to rise up against such an abusive government and somehow play psychological hardball in the same way, or whether the oppression will just tire them out because ecosystems of old biology just can't compete with the new ecosystems of machines and AI that that government is increasingly using.

If I were writing a Sci-fi novel I'd have the AI (at the moment of singularity) take over the selfish pig government and become the new ruler over ALL the humans (making them equal but under it), in a delicious moment of irony.
No, I don't think so. I think git "winning" was due to github.
Turbolinks looks neat, but our Ruby app selectively includes CSS and Javascript snippets outside the <body> tag depending on what page is loaded (using :content_for declarations in our templates). I am guessing that Turbolinks will not work for us in this case, as the relevant external files will not be called on page load?
We might add another color scheme, exactly for those cases. But the colors, other than for the sunburst in the beginning, aren't really essential (that's at least what our color blind team members tell us) as pros and cons are always on a particular side.

Have you tried something like prmd [0]? And if so, what are your thoughts on it?

I used it at my previous job, but didn't find it gave me that many benefits, although there wasn't anything particularly wrong with it either. It just seems like a challenging problem to properly solve with any organization.

I was initially really interested in GraphQL and Relay, but when I tried em out I found em lacking for our small engineering team. I feel kinda similar with all these other alternative tools. I think if you have any API stability problems, you need to tackle it at an organizational level. The API team needs to communicate openly with the web frontend and mobile app team (which might include a cross-section of highly-mixed-specialty people) to make sure all changes are fully backwards compatible. I don't think the tools do a great job at helping you tackle complex issues.

I... I'll be in my bunk.
I don't think so. There's no going back to the world that existed before nuclear weapons. Similarly, AI and surveillance tool advances are too useful and efficient for maintaining order, and there won't be going back to the world before them. They fundamentally change the way that law enforcement interacts with citizens at a high level.
You omit the possibility of a third outcome, where the Chinese people do not rise up and the oppression does not tire them out.

I subscribe to Google Music because it comes with ad-free YouTube, which is nice to have on iOS. I'd rather use Spotify (for the UI) or Apple Music (for better iOS integration) but I don't want to pay for a separate subscription just for YouTube.

The utility of the software engineer scales with the number of people using software vs the number of patients for the nurse.

If the software engineer is able to provide more utility, this roughly translates to more demand which means higher salary which means higher supply

Objectively, I would say that the problem you struggled with this morning should be doable by someone in comp sci 102 (and probably comp sci 101). That you're struggling with something like this, suggests that you're very out of practice and really haven't done any significant work recently (or at least not in Python). That doesn't mean you're unhirable, but it does mean that you're going to need to spend a lot of time prepping and working, probably significantly more time than your colleagues.

With that said, think about why you chose to major in computer science and what classes you enjoyed the most. Maybe there's a specialty you really want to do, maybe you would prefer to do something tangential to programming like project management, information security or data analysis. You may find more it more interesting and easier to work on practical projects. It's probably worth trying some web development work (especially in languages such as ruby or python with foreach semantics where you won't need to worry about off by one errors as much)
yes, but that is most definitely NOT the point of the anti-science propaganda (moon landing is a hoax, chemtrails, flat earth, etc.++).

The point of that nonsense is to sow distrust in all institutions, especially science. Since the susceptible people have no real idea about how science works, it's just swapping out one belief structure or another (even tho it's promoted as 'think for yourself', that doesn't work if you don't have the tools -- your ignorance is just as good as any experts' knowledge).

Once the actual experts are distrusted, any belief can be swapped in for these people, who are now useful idiots (in the Lennin sense).
> You don't hike on your taint.

In general, you shouldn't be putting weight on your perineum (taint) when in the saddle. You should be putting weight on your ischial tuberosities (sit bones) instead. The former can result in blood circulation problems, and possible damage to the nerves and urethra.
Each camera in China is far more invasive due to how they're used. The government views cameras as the means for total population control. The goal is to process, cross-reference, and store surveillance across the entire country, to know and control every minute of people's lives. Compare to the US, where most cameras do not have facial recognition, are not interconnected, and do not store data long term.

> Linus didn't set out to create git because of some missing features in svn, but because he wanted a fundamentally different tool.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up there. Linus isn't some VCS visionary, he didn't magic the idea of distributed VCS out of thin air. There were plenty of other DVCS out there at the time, he just built another one.
If you listen to any music that is remotely bass-oriented, the Bose falls flat on it's face. It's unfortunate because I actually think it's the most comfortable and lightweight option in the market. The noise canceling is also some of the best I've ever experienced.

The sound though, just can't keep up with any of the competition. For some people this isn't an issue - so they love the headphones, as they should. For someone like me who listens to a lot of hip hop and electronic music, it's a complete dealbreaker.

The wireless ANC headphone market is in a weird place right now. All of the headphones do some things really well, but have major tradeoffs to make one way or another. It all comes down to which tradeoff you want to make and what part of the experience is most important to you depending on your use-case.

Like I said, I've tried nearly every option in the market. Maybe I should write a blog post around this since I've invested so much time into it already.
I would say the set of possible software bugs is much larger than that of plumbing bugs, not that the latter is trivial.
China is a huge, huge country, historically it's been difficult for the central government to exercise its control all over its territory. This would be the realization of that historical desire.

That sounds like a better argument for China breaking up than it does using force and dystopian surveillance to maintain a lock on power.

// Unsafe version, but it "works" as expected
const header = title => `<h1>${title}</h1>`;
Both HyperCard and VB were really great for personal computing because they made it relatively easy for people to start making their own tools.

I made my first game with HyperCard, sadly lost to time unless the floppy is still sitting in some middle-school computing lab's storage room and hasn't degraded beyond readability.

Even recently I had a hobby project where VB 1.0 for DOS was a quick and easy way to hack together a GUI.

I'm saddened by the fact that "modern" desktops are increasingly becoming consumption-only devices. Personal computing is near death and no one seems to care much.
I (not having looked at the architecture yet) have a suspicion that Fuchsia will run on a hardware-independent layer, like Treble which they're pushing right now.
> The least we can do is try to use this technology for social good. For example, a USC/Google team used computer vision tools to identify gender bias in modern cinema

That sounds entirely worthless.

A social good involves helping somebody who needs aid.

This proposal merely fills a perceived need by political dogmatics. This is exactly a sociopolitical memory leak.
I fully expect this to keep getting advanced further. There has been no protest whatsoever within China and even many people of Chinese origin living in US with US citizenship seem to think this is necessary and good for the people. I have been told that "outsiders" won't "understand" this. The bottom line is that if people are not rebelling against current measures of social credit, government only has incentive to keep going.

Sooner or later government would require things like TV sets with front camera. So when a person watches TV, camera watches that person. There have been huge progress made in emotional inference which can allow government to measure emotional responses to what person is viewing. Imagine there is a news of rebellian getting crushed and if you are consistently showing supportive emotions, you can get black listed for further investigation. Cities can get microphones at restaurants and other places to analyse what conversations are happening and find hot spots where "trouble makers" hang out. Previously we had only vast sensor networks. Now we can turn each sensor in to autonomous spy that works loyally without salaries and demands nothing but cheap electricity. Computers allows for scale when humans are being replaced. If you want million spies scattered all around, its possible fairly cheaply now. I would also expect lots of other countries to adopt variant of these tech, typically under the notion of improving safety and security for general public.

Agreed. It's one of our main issues, we are effectively three startups:

1 public discussions / repository of the why / community
2 free edtech solution
3 SAAS for decision-making, -preparation, ideation...

We have for now focussed on 1, as we consider it the hardest and most pertinent problem.

2 We are deploying a dedicated edu cluster in 2 weeks. Already quite popular for classroom debates (some Harvard profs being the first to use it), introducing students to controversial issues, etc

3 We provide teams for free right now and are building another cluster for them. (they too do not want to be inundated with gun / atheist debates)

In the end, our core, is something like a wiki technology. When we launched, we didn't know what would stick and now we have all three kind of sticking. 3 being the one that has received the least amount of love till now, as companies seem to be doing ok, regarding decision-making, even though everybody hates emails, chat and meetings...
> There is plenty of money in large corporations to pay workers more but it goes to the executives and shareholders rather than making employees lives more bearable.

The money comes from the fact that they have one well-paid manager per thousand employees instead of having one per five employees as a small business does, which makes getting that opportunity for advancement a one in a thousand shot for their employees instead of one in five. What you want isn't for big companies to pay more, it's for small companies to replace them.

If you pass laws like increasing the minimum wage that disproportionately impact smaller businesses "because big companies can afford it" then you make that problem worse.

If you really want better wages, make things tougher for bigger companies. Condition regulatory burdens and taxes on high total revenue. Eliminate regulations at the federal level that are typically highly complex and whose uniformity favors large interstate businesses, in favor of simpler local regulations that benefit local businesses and allow locals to carve out a profitable niche.
It ultimately doesn’t matter much what we’re willing to bear. Those in power do not easily surrender tools that can keep them there.

There are many low skill jobs that pay above minimum wage these days. McDonnalds pays $10 per hour for example http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/01/news/companies/mcdonalds-pay...

Unless you have severe disabilities, getting a job at McDonnald's or the tons of other low skill jobs available is not what I would call something hard to achieve.
This is true for adults as well. I have great retention from speaking Japanese with taxi drivers, but the 900 words in my quiz program evaporated quickly. You need to really use it.
Sure. 1. It's still more than you had before and 2. The next incremental increase you get, you'll be "keeping" even more on a percentage basis.

The argument, "I don't want more income because I will lose some % of it due to [tax | benefits reduction]," makes no sense to me.

> The trailer is low so I'm also worried about a car passing behind me driving into it.

I wonder if this concern is really valid. I have a Burley Bee trailer and I've tested out approaching my bike with the trailer attached from behind both in my minivan and sedan vehicles and had no problem seeing the trailer. I've also noticed that vehicles tend to give me more space and are more conservative when passing when I'm riding with the trailer attached, so I don't think they have a problem seeing it. I don't bother using a flag though.

We had filters already, but removed them about 2y ago...

The hordes would have been an issue, just coming in and downvoting claims that they disagree with.

When we switch from the all votes average, we might introduce them again. For individual perspectives, it would already make sense, you would then only see claims that a particular user voted of at least impact 2 or so.

I would not rely on the "impact votes" today, plus, the average is not really interesting. What is more interesting is how people that agree or disagree with the main thesis voted. (hint: what we'll be building)

"Even a 60% marginal tax is very strongly disincentivizing"

Citation needed. What I've read is that even an 80% marginal tax does not create strong disincentives.

Think of it this way. Most people spend 95-105% of every dollar they earn, and very few of those dollars are very elastic. The vast majority of those dollars are already allocated for taxes, rent/mortgage, food, car payments, et cetera and only a couple of pennies of every dollar made is discretionary. But if you're able to pick up an extra shift, the extra dollars you make from that are purely discretionary. So even 20 cents on the dollar is a windfall.
Right but the first link I shared explained why even $11 isn't enough. And to the original point, the minimum wage should be a living wage. I hope you are clearer about what that means now.

You are confusing incompetence with benevolence. if India had money and AI PhDs anywhere even half way close to China, politicians there would have rushed to implement social credit system and it would have been called "Karma Card". It would have promise to improve security for women getting raped and people getting robed. I haven't studied Indian constitution myself but I have been told that its one of the shittiest constitution out there modeled to emulate English monarchy+parliamentary system and has zero protection on fundamental individual freedoms explicitly specified like it does in US constitution. There is nothing in India constitution that can prevent future Karma Card to get implemented in India. But don't feel bad... most countries are in same boat. Insistence for individual freedom is fairly unique to US and may be handful of other countries at lesser extent. This is because US being new country formed in a period, in circumstances and by group of people very heavily influenced by Bill by Rights and extreme distaste for monarchy. Many other former English colonies on the hand had developed huge appreciation for the same and ended up with systems that simply emulates English political system.

While not a source control system, the JetBrains IDEs have a very good merge tool that is filetype aware. For example, WebStorm/IntelliJ Ultimate, when merging JavaScript, often has a "magic wand" option that can detect when merge conflicts are actually resolvable if you parse both sides first, and merge the AST.

It doesn't always work quite right, but it's good enough that I use it quite often.

I have used swagger a bit for JSON API development, but didn't find it added much over just keeping it simple and reacting to client needs.

I typically split my externally facing JSON API out from the main application (which uses HTML/intercooler) because the use cases are typically so different: the JSON API needs to be general and abstract whereas the web application UI has a lot of fiddly little specific data needs that are better implemented on the back end, where you have full access to the domain model and a proper query language.
