> Not sure what violence in Seattle have to do with whether you need to get politically involved.

Because that violence, like most issues in life, is rooted in politics. You cannot escape politics no matter how much you dislike it. The fact that you want to escape, or even can escape politics is in itself political. The fact that HN for whatever reason discourages politics is also politically driven.

Politics is life. Either embrace it or get left out.

> FB, Twitter and Reddit with actual political involvement leads to more disappointment than progress

I would say political involvement (and the manipulation of) FB, Twitter and Reddit are directly responsible for our current regime here in the US. If anything, the key to winning is FB, Twitter and Reddit. Ignore them and you won't win, politically.

You make your pathetic jeers at "virtue signaling", but the "virtue signalling" from the alt-right on FB, twitter and reddit is exactly how the 2016 election was won.
How to Create Approval Workflows for Forms Without Code
Now you're making a different argument. Yes, there are costs involved in replacing employees, and there are costs involved in allowing employees to walk out or refuse to work on certain projects. Naturally Google will weigh those costs.

But earlier you claimed they were "the only ones" capable, and that I wanted to abridge their freedom of association. I disagreed with both those statements.

Now that you've restricted your position to acknowledging a reasonable cost/benefit tradeoff for Google, I agree.

The term "subsidy" implies that the state is actively paying out cash to Foxconn. If I'm correct that these are actually tax breaks, then the state is merely claiming less tax revenue from Foxconn than state law would otherwise dictate. That's tax revenue that the state wouldn't see at all in the absence of Foxconn. And if Foxconn's locally-generated revenue ends up being smaller than originally anticipated, then it would stand to reason that the effective reduction in tax revenue is reduced as well.

The article goes on and on about wasted subsidy funds (there are other valid criticisms of the deal, but this is the big one). The Foxconn deal may not be working out, but if everything is structured in terms of tax then the state finances are not really getting impacted.
I don't think so. Out of all things taught there, the few useful things are: accounting, business law, marketing just to learn the terminology, logistics, and out of all "high finance repertoire" the only useful things are fx transaction hedging, and trade finance. Well, and math as well if yours is not on a university level already.

All critical thinking stuff, "strategy" well, for the most part, is simply laughable. When people who dished out 6 digits for an elite degree challenge that, they do so because for them admitting to that mean to admit that they wasted that ton of money for that.

I used to waste time doing this and would argue with right-winger family who was brainwashed by Fox news. I finally realized no matter how good your points are, and no matter how eloquently said or rationally stated you will just flat out never convince someone or change their opinion on policy based on a facebook discussion. Literally the only thing arguing politics on there does is polarize people, and further entrench everyone onto their already premade opinions. I started putting myself in their shoes and realized how futile their arguments were because I'd never consider a right wing perspective. Then I realized what a waste of time it was to even engage at all. I unfollowed everyone, stopped logging in and have been a lot happier. If I want to check up on someone specifically I search them and go straight to their page. Otherwise I don't even bother reading the timeline anymore. I went from daily checking facebook to about 2x a month. It's awesome.

On the Go front, TinyGo (a subset of Go targeting embedded dev) recently added Wasm support:

https://github.com/aykevl/tinygo

It's output files are very small (~1kb for the toy examples), as it does dead code elimination, which is missing from the mainline Go approach (for now).

Both Go and TinyGo are in very early stages of their Wasm support though, so things are changing and updating fairly quickly. :)
I wouldn't say need per se, since this is something that can and has been done in other ways already, but it's at least a use case with positive, rather than negative, value.
> I prefer to play games with WASD and a mouse like God intended.

Yeah, that works for some subset of games. If you're doing is playing FPS games and some workable subset of side-scrollers, sure. But games designed for a specific control scheme generally play much better with that controller.

I've played my fair share of emulated NES/SNES games, and while workable on a keyboard, let's not kid ourselves and say it's just as good.

And I remember playing DOOM not with WASD (because I don't think anyone was at that point), but with the numeric control pad so I could easily strafe (when the default most people seemed to use were arrow keys), so it's not like WASD came out fully formed and obvious from the start.[1]

Control schemes change, and people usually end up adopting what works best for a specific genre (or specific game, if it's genre-bending enough).

Don't get me wrong, I abhor the idea of playing a FPS game with a controller as well... but not all games are FPS games.

I wonder if it would be viable to bar the Hollywood accounting style loopholes of profit losing subsidiaries for everyone - specifically barring licensing from profit margin calculations and market rate for other services. Like if it has $5M of marketing fees there had better be equivalent of what $5M of marketing could actually get as opposed to just growing it to eat up all profits.

I've heard about such limitations with some convoluted options like charging rent to your corporation being bound to market rates at maximum.

But if you are looking for safety, rule of law, good place to make money as a knowledge worker, and can tolerate some trade-offs in terms of freedom, it is a great place.

> We should feel good that everyone is engaged in dialogue about our grand civic project, right?

It is people trapped in their echo chambers. Some chambers are better than others (some, much better, but alas). I personally don't hold much hope for things to ever get de-calcified without some kind of large-scale real-world incident to force it. It is almost like two entirely different species of humans at this point who are almost incapable of empathising with each other.

(and note, in many cases, refusing to empathise.... I refuse to empathize with alt-right supporters for example.)
I thought it was just a rumor until I experienced it firsthand. I was walking down a long hallway at work with a coworker between meetings. At one end of the hallway my zipper broke on my backpack. We walked and talked about backpack zippers though the corridor while I held my phone in my hand walking. She and I were talking about if you could sew in a new zipper or you'd have to buy an entirely new backpack. And if you could hand-sew in the new zipper or if you'd need a sewing machine. When we got to our next meeting we were 10 minutes early so I logged into facebook. BOOM- ZIPPER ads and backpack ads. I'd search for nothing about zippers, hadn't googled zippers, and my backpack zipper had just broken at the previous meeting. Literally the only way it could have known about that to show me those ads had been that it was listening via my microphone.
That was the historic reason, and it certainly had value. In the information age, I think we could consider requiring the recording of cost basic for assets purchased after some date. (The SEC started requiring brokerage firms to record cost basis a few years back, so we're on the way)

You said:

>That ANY service is going to [provide the data on a suspect to law enforcement]?

Are the aforementioned not services?

>Apple refusing to unlock - wasn't about disclosing readily available data;

They refused to provide information required by the FBI to investigate an extremist attack. And there was data that was not readily available to the public in the Bowers' profile.

> Microsoft v US has been mooted by a change of the relevant laws

So what? It was still data that law enforcement wished to acquire in order to investigate criminal activity, in this case organized crime.

>Wikileaks, wait, what?

I am sure the authorities are very interested in who was responsible for leaking classified information. Something Wikileaks refuses to provide.

>Yes. Their monitoring isn't great, but they do some. Not comparable.

'Not comparable'? Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic rants are directly 'comparable' for one, and he is not alone. Twitter's 'monitors' appear to be more concerned with influencing elections than removing extremist content.

Also, try searching Youtube for 'six gorillion' or 'six million lies'. Reporting the content that is revealed appears to be completely ineffective. Again, such 'censorship' as is done is largely concerned with influencing elections.
Honestly I'd imagine this is on purpose. Facebook wouldn't want their platforms to overlap too much anyway-- wouldn't that be putting all eggs in one basket, in terms of vision for the future of social interaction?

There's bets they're clearly taking across companies (like stories), and they definitely are trying to flow traffic between Instagram and Facebook, but to some degree they've kept each app their own and that has only worked in their favour so far.

You never stop learning. If you stop learning, you're done. Mentorship throughout out ones career is invaluable.

I am a fan of education, but on business, two thoughts -

1) Business is like swimming. One can study, talk, dsicuss, group project, all we want about business, but it's standing beside the swimming pool.

Nothing teaches swimming other than diving in, and learning not to sink. No swimming instructor will succeed if you can't learn to float, and then move. The key learning in business comes from lessons (good and bad) from experience.

2) The peeople teaching the skills may have no relevant or recent experience in business. So you may be learning to practice the past. Today, if courses take 2 years to develop, and 2 years to approve, the material is often out of date by then anyways. This a real problem most insitutions are facing as other groups are eating their lunch.

Show HN: A simple React Form solution
If you want to match chemicals against a database, particularly organic ones, the easiest thing to build would be an IR spectrometer. You get a lot of random peaks in the sub-2000 cm¯¹ that is pretty damn unique, even for fairly close analogues. It's not going to be useful to determine a compound if it's not in the database, but that's usually not what you want in a identification device for consumer use.

> You aren't trying to visualize the structure, right, just figure out what elements are present in what proportions?

Elemental analysis is both rather easy (just burn it and measure out the CO₂/H₂O/NO₂/SO₂ + other impurities) and rather useless (a cyclohexane and a hexene both have the same chemical formula yet have very different structures and very different reactive potentials).

Inside chemical labs, NMR is the go-to method for identifying "is the compound in this jar what the label says it is?" But that's largely because every chemical lab has an NMR machine already, NMR makes all the functional groups pop out without much work, and if it's not in your database, you can still do a reasonable start on identification with just ¹H NMR. Considering the expense of NMR versus IR spectroscopy, database matching applications probably suffice with IR.

Agreed. For iOS, the rollout was so smooth that most people weren't even aware it was taking place, with the only observable effect being that the iOS upgrade took a bit longer than usual. For the macOS rollout, there were more hiccups, but still, extremely smooth.

It's interesting that Singapore has, with this policy, become one of the very few unambiguously successful, unambiguously tropical countries.

The last paragraph:

> In everything you do, you’re either playing a short term or long term game. You can’t opt out and you can’t play a long-term game in everything, you need to pick what matters to you. But in everything you do time amplifies the difference between long and short-term games. The question you need to think about is when and where to play a long-term game. A good place to start is with things that compound: knowledge, relationships, and finances.

And if you have played the short game for awhile already. Then the choice of short vs long is now harder as you point out.

Lifestyle is big factor, imo. There is a lot of things people pay for nowadays that isn't "a must". Especially paying tons of money for a wedding (I never understood why people would go thru all that hassle, but I do appreciate the beauty in it, but too extravagant I think). Paying tons of money for a wedding ring that you would likely drop in a sink or misplace anyway. Any tons more.
There are a few :)

AppGet doesn't use custom scripts on install; everything is defined by data (YAML files). The client uses the data in the manifest and knows how to deal with different installers. This alone makes appget more secure; if you trust the client (it's opensource and managed by the core team) you don't blindly run a PowerShell script as admin on your machine.

Also, adding/updating packages is trivial since all you need to do is update/create a very simple YAML file.
Another benefit is we can upgrade the client to better deal with let's say MSI installers, and none of the manifests need to be updated since all the logic is in the client, the manifest only needs to identify itself as MSI.

This also means you can install an app in different interactivity levels, Silent (everything happens in the background), Passive (you see the installer and progress, but you don't have to click next or do anything) or Interactive (appget downloads and validates the installer and just launches it for you, but you can run through the installer and customized it as you see fit)

Our packages are more up-to-date. We have a crawler that checks for updates on regular bases, we use GitHub api, and check vendor sites constantly (over 500K of check events per day). Trivial updates are automatically pushed to the repository, For non-trivial ones the bot automatically creates a pull-request on GitHub to be reviewed by a human. Most cases we pickup updated releases for apps within hours.

AppGet can list, upgrade and uninstall apps that aren't even installed using appget. We check windows installer database as the source of truth. You can download appget right now, run "appget outdated" and I guarantee it'll find outdated apps for you.

I'm sure there are more things, this question comes up a lot, so I'm gonna spend some time and add a page to the documentation just for this.
