You're still paying capitalists a consideration in exchange for the use of their capital. Whether you want to pay them equity or interest, whether you want to document it as "wages" or "profits minus debt," the same thing is happening under the hood: capitalists, not workers, are reaping part of the rewards, and those rewards come from risk, not labor.
Fun fact: The F-117 looks like a low-poly model on an underpowered computer because that's exactly what it is. Optimizing the shape to minimize radar cross-section took a whole lot of math, and it got too complex for '70s-era supercomputers unless you stuck with flat surfaces.

The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber was curvier because they had better computers by then.

VR hardware has plenty of room for improvement today, and the fact that it hasn't caught on in past years doesn't feel to me to be a helpful indicator, because the immersiveness of VR is highly dependent on the quality of the hardware.

But one could say the same for mobile gaming. Once computers were advanced enough to fit on an iPhone, mobile gaming blew up far, far bigger than what the GameBoy was ever able to capture. Your assertion that "[VR] never actually improved playing performance" doesn't make much sense to me. VR doesn't have to succeed by performing well as yet another gaming platform -- I bought Skyrim VR and have played no more than 20 minutes of it (though to be fair, I've only played a few hours of the plain Skyrim before getting bored). VR opens up new potential for gameplay that developers are only beginning to take advantage.

I've owned a PSVR and while I have logged more hours on traditional PS4 gaming, it's only because there are far more and better developed games on it compared to VR. But even with the VR hardware's limitations, and the inconvenience of having to put on the helmet, I've still had plenty of fun experiences with VR that can't be emulated on non-VR. The best game of all that I've played so far is ironically, the free-to-play Rec Room.
I'm from Pakistan, highest this summer has been 44 C 111.2 F. My solution has been to start working remotely and never leave my 24/7 Air Conditioned room -- which stops for a few to several hours every day because of power outages.

> "[C# is] sort of Java with reliability, productivity and security deleted."

Oracle is improving Java native interop with projects Panama,

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/panama/

Java has surely not failed in being cross platform, not if we are comparing it with .NET.

.NET Core still doesn't run in many environments, where I can gladly put Java on. The computing world is much bigger than just macOS, Windows and GNU/Linux.

And then there is the issue that even Swing/JavaFX/SWT are better supported that whatever .NET Core UI framework one can think of.

Xamarin is nice and way better than React Native, Cordova or Qt, and yet you aren't going to find much love for it on online forums.

On game development C# got lucky with Unity, because finally there was a company that was firm to hold on to managed languages in game development no matter what, and they managed to turn out one of the best engines out there for indies.

Had Unity decided to go the way of Unreal with UnrealScript and the story would be quite different.

I still remember the JavaGamming initiative at Java ONE, Java3D or the JOGL project, but like many other Sun initiatives, they let it die after a couple of years. Maybe here the story would have been different if they were actually committed to it.

Thing is UNIX companies never understood desktop and gaming cultures, so here .NET has notoriously an advantage by having been part of a desktop OS SDK since its inception, from a company that actually understands desktop and gaming cultures.
You seem to be proposing a standard based solely on discrimination.

I doubt that is the standard you mean to propose.

If someone say, ardently supported removing virtually all rights to free speech, in your mind does that fit into Prop 8 unacceptability or gun control acceptability?
As a backend developer that is trying to get into frontend what bothers me the most is that no one knows what is the proper way of doing things in React. There’s no golden standard.

Sure, there’s opinions, but no standards within the React framework, and that’s what keeps bothering me the most. I can’t get into react because person x will tell me - “oh you should do x like this instead, because of y’ and then I’ll read y is heresy. I don’t have enough experience or time to vet what’s good or bad and I can’t make that choice. I also however don’t want to refactor every other month because someone suggests the new best practice.

With Vue, at least for myself, things felt more natural and straightforward. Not saying I understand Vue fully either, but, I made a fully working standalone project that complements the business in less than a day. JWT, multiple api calls, toasts, Vuex, components and voala it was done, while for react it took a real front end dev almost an entire week to get something up and running.

At some point it’s not about modularity or code perfection, but rather delivering. It was easy for me to get something up and running with Vue, but I was overwhelmed with React. I don’t want to spend 3-6 months learning something only to be able to write PR passable code.
It is kind of interesting how you can find people who know are not history majors, that know way too much about the Roman empire, but they know dick about the Mughal empire. Or even if you say "Travancore" to them, they have no idea what you're talkin gabout.

That word meaning "appearances" suddenly appeared and became all the rage a year ago. Writers and commentators think they're hip and cool using it, rather than what it actually is - camp-following and boring.

Blech. Just use "appearances".

I have the T-Mobile version of the LTE dumbphone (Alcatel Go Flip). It can be used as a hotspot, wifi calling, and HD voice (much clearer than previous dumbphones). KaiOS is really laggy unfortunately.

I haven't used that phone in 6 months or so because I switched to an Apple Watch series 3. I've never had a smartphone as my actual phone. I synced it to my SIM on my wife's phone with my Apple ID, then reset her phone back to her stuff.

The watch works great as my only phone. Eats batter power, about 15 hours per charge, less if I talk or listen to music more than a couple hours per day. Looking forward to watchOS 5 because it will the phone self-manage wifi settings, which should fix a lot of the battery issues. Right now I can only connect to one wifi network (since I don't have a phone to sync to that manages it). Once I can connect to my home and office wifi, battery life will improve.

Not having a phone in my pocket ever again is a great feeling. Just the default apps on it. Wish I could stream podcasts. I still keep the dumbphone around the house in case I need to take an SMS (Apple Watch apparently doesn't handle those either, just Apple Messages).
That's exactly right as the body uses melatonin spike as a wake up signal as well.

>What's missing in this is the acknowledgement that "diversity quotas" while, of course, imperfect and clumsy, reflect an effort to counterbalance institutional discrimination

Diversity quotas are by their very nature institutional discrimination. You can’t jusify it by saying the people they discriminate against deserve it.
Quotas are tough for people right now, but they serve a longer term role. Because of quotas, there is more diversity in tech. That's a fact.

Some dumb-ass dudes may tell you: "oh you're here because of diversity quotas, not for your inherent quality", and it will be annoying for you. But the purpose of the quotas is that the next generation of students can look at the distribution and tell themselves: "oh, actually this field is not only populated by bros, there is a lot of women in it, maybe I'll give that a shot".

Ok, it's not meritocracy, but come on, meritocracy is only unbiased if the culture is unbiased...
It's funny that the solution to people's fears about commercialism interfering with the real world is to go out and buy another phone rather than use some self control over the stuff they already own.
I always thought that historically, the elite schools were for the children of the elite; the idea behind letting "scholarship students" in is that if the children of the elite are going to run the world (and they always have in the past) it's really in everyone's best interest if we set them up so that they build relationships with some people who are competent and will have to work.

I think the fact that there does seem to be some grumblings about 'legacy admissions' is progress.

I seem to have too dry fingers most of the time, so can't get the touch controller to register. Not what you want if you need to lower the heat NOW.

In addition, a lot of the controllers seem to use the really silly plus/minus design to control heat, which means if you want to go from 8 to 3, you need to press 5 times instead of just one touch/twist. Fortunately my current cooking top has a bar so I can go directly, once it registers my finger that is...

I realize why they went with touch though.

Back in the day, around 10 years ago, I was working a lot with clean energy. One of the big projects was modifying human behaviour through social networks, focusing on using targeted messaging and peer pressure via Twitter, when it was still kind of big. Send messages to a big enough network of organically influential people, and all of sudden you have a full city saving some MW per day; put on a sweater if you are cold, turn off the lights when not in use, drink more water if you are hot, close your blinds to keep your house cool, etc...

I was happy, doing something good for humanity and the environment... then DARPA took our research, I was disheartened... and now I have no idea where or how it is being used, but doesn't seem to be helping humanity... I notice the grandchildren of this research coming up in the news, the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal seemed quite familiar, if anything I was wondering why it took so long for people to notice...

Anyway, moral of the story: no matter what we build, and how good our intentions, somebody will figure out how to do evil with it.
Woohoooo! That's brilliant. Thanks.
Personal anecdote.

I've lived all my life in India. Though have moved around for jobs. Most of my life I have lived in Bangalore. I worked for around 3 years in the US.

While I was in the US, my Asthma kind of magically vanished. In fact I don't even remembering having any respiratory issues of any kind, until in the last 4 months when I caught an infection. When the doctor asked I had show him my unused, now expired Asthma medication. So the doctor suggested my Asthma remission could be due to lack of pollution in the US. In fact despite drinking water while traveling at various places in the US I rarely caught a infection of any kind. Not even a Stomach upset. The 3 years that I lived in US were my healthiest in all life. I didn't take a single pill for anything. In fact that final infection I had didn't warrant medication too.

The moment I came back to Bangalore, my Asthma returned, like on the very third day. Eating out in Bangalore, the throat infections and food poisoning returned. And Bangalore is considered a relatively well off place compared to many cities. But still you see streets littered with garbage, stagnant water. Malaria, Dengue and Chickungunya break outs every few months are very common. Even until recently Dengue was almost like a death sentence in Bangalore.

Every few months there is a lake in around vicinity of South Bangalore(called Bellandur lake) which catches fire. Apart from the industrial waste, a lot of apartments release sewage in the lake, eventually leading to decay, and then Methane release and then fire.

Though I don't have much Idea about North India, from news I learn every day that things are way worse. A couple of months back New Delhi skies blocked out sun for several weeks at a stretch due to Paddy burning.

India needs very urgent laws on the lines of Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act in US. Too many people are falling ill due to pollution and illness. Apart from the fact that illness is a bad thing, its also a huge drain on economy in terms of health care cost and work place productivity.

Nearly 2 years ago, I moved from San Francisco (cold) to Saigon (hot). It has been interesting to watch how my body has become more accustomed to the heat over time. When I first got here, I would visibly sweat all the time. Now, that I'm more used to things, I sweat less and I feel cold easily. I suspect that humans will adapt to this new way of life we've brought upon ourselves.

> employers care a lot about who you marry, for insurance and family-leave reasons

Employers don't care who you marry; they care if you marry. Although, those matters are related.

Similarly, employers doesn't care if you or others own a gun; they care if you are alive and healthy. And those matters are related. [Insert debate here about the direction of that relationship.]
>Are you suggesting that the US military will use force to ensure that people use the dollar and that is its backing?

Not the OP, but the governments' 'monopoly on violence' usually refers to the fact that they hold position as the sole enforcement authority. Dollar is 'backed' by a reputation/record of US government fulfilling it's debt obligations. As the enforcement authority, they can/will use force to secure an operating revenue via tax collection. The specifics of what people use to transact, is more flexible. So the dollar is backed by US Government's ability to fulfill it's future debts. The method it uses to extract (something of value, payment is currently required in $ format) from it's citizenry to pay them is less important, but a 'monopoly on violence' sure helps with collection efforts ;-)
Agreed on the fashion. Hiring both 1) fairly to all candidates and 2) most effectively for the company is a difficult and potentially impossible task. Introducing quotas is an easy "solution" of this problem for the hiring department.

However, I do not understand your rationale for hiring the woman. By assumption, both the woman and the man have the same skills. It is the histories of how they got those skills that differ.
The article mentions it at the bottom briefly, but Gigabyte's gaming box basically does what the hacked together Thunder 2 setup does and at a lower cost ($100 premium over the graphics card alone): https://amzn.to/2NPyXEM.

It also comes with Thunderbolt 3 instead of 2. I'm not sure why the author simply buy that unit and be done with it since it's probably cheaper than the combined costs of all his parts and doesn't have a giant desktop power supply sticking out the back.

Trust in, and disagreements over monetary policy may actually be at the root of many of the problems you outline. The euro crisis was likely a significant contributing factor to Brexit. The US bailouts of 2008 are still are source of political contention.

Yes Ethereum forked, but that actually gives users a choice, and still does. Some people who disagree with the choice to step in can still run and transact using Ethereum Classic. With both Bitcoin & Ethereum, market forces seem to be doing a decent job of maintaining consensus.
Wow, that is good to know. Thank you.
What I've always found odd is when a company advertises something like "we have 50% women on the programming team" when only 20% of the programming workforce is female.

That's not really fair is it? The company is overly diverse if anything. In a way they're stealing women from the workforce of other companies.

Diversity needs to happen from the ground up. Affirmative action is more effective and more appropriate the earlier in life that it is. Special coding classes and programs for underserved groups (e.g. Rails Girls) are the best, because a lot of girls don't get the same opportunities. In New Zealand, a lot of single-sex girls' schools don't teach programming at all. It's the same with schools in lower income areas, they often have very underdeveloped STEM programs.

Having lower entry requirements to university for less privileged populations also makes sense, although using ethnicity is a very blunt stick, as there are often external factors that mean that equally talented students have worse educational outcomes in school, such as poor nutrition, working a job after school to help pay the bills, and low quality teachers (most good teachers want to teach at good schools). There external factors tend to be ironed out at university.

Obviously not every type of affirmative action is appropriate for every situation. Requiring lower grades for women to get into engineering programs at university probably isn't appropriate, since it's not like women grow up in less privileged households than men.

Affirmative action in hiring makes a lot less sense than at earlier stages. There's only a certain percentage of women in the workforce, hiring over that percentage isn't going to help with diversity or inclusion. If only 20% of programmers are women, then your company's programming team should be somewhere around that number. If it's a lot higher or a lot lower than this, there's something wrong.
Utility does not improve ethics, which is why making the trains run on time did not excuse Italian fascism. Choosing React is to condone its owner.

Casey Neistat is someone who comes to mind. He has chronicled so many moments of his life on video and shared them with the world.
There are two use cases at the moment that I can think off:

1. Proving origin and authenticity of a product through the supply chain (car parts, branded bags, wine). In China for example wine companies lose billions because of counterfeit wines.

2. Alternative currency for unstable countries - like Venezuela where everyone lost confidence in Bolivars due to massive inflation.

Current valuations are hugely inflated and doens't make sense. However, most people are there to earn a quick buck. They don't care about working products. There are many coins that do nothing and are outright scams but are worth billions just because everyone is willing to speculate.

I also feel a lot of people came from Forex trading where trading with leverage is normal. With the volatility of crypto's, leverage is not necessary anymore so that you can't get margin called.
