While I do agree that higher order components are not the most beginner friendly pattern, to state that they are being used just to avoid classes completely misses the points of why they are used. They are a functional pattern that help one create pure components.
I don't get it. Why would rich/powerful men try to get other people in their line of work to have sexual relations with. It doesn't make much sense to me. When you are super rich, you can travel to xxx countries and have legitimate, legal and safe sex with, eh, probably, much hotter woman.

Is this a case of a psyco guy who just wants to own whatever people he stumbles upon?

> Don't forget to include the risk of reporters finding out about this whole arrangement and doing further damage to an already tarnished company and industry

Perhaps, but 2014 is pre-#MeToo, so those risks wouldn't have been fully appreciated. SV has a long history of being able to use money to sweep sexual misconduct allegations under the rug and the current landscape of these arrangements causing PR problems for companies is a pretty recent development.

Not paying these bonuses would have certainly resulted in a court case and publicity that Google perhaps thought, at the time, would be negative. So they probably rationalized that resolving the situation by a) paying a settlement to the victim, b) ending Rubin's employment and c) not having to go to court and face that bad PR was the prudent approach.

Given how the industry (and country) has changed it's handling of sexual misconduct allegations in the last couple years, it's easy to find fault with the way they handled it, but Google's lawyers were operating in a very different context in 2014.
Hackers’ New Target: Small Businesses
Eh.. it's not that obvious to me. H1B is a result of America having widespread problems producing well educated Americans.
> Because it's a case of a for-profit company competing for paying customers of other hosted platforms. Most WordPress sites don't have that competition

So free users don't want the features that paying users want? Whyever not? Surely the fact that some people are willing to pay for a particular feature indicates just how important that feature is to a lot of users.
Exactly. I probably earn 2X what my father made, inflation adjusted, when he was my age. Buuuut, I pay 5X what he paid for housing, 20X what he paid for healthcare, ∞X what he paid in student loans, have a commute 6X longer than his, live in a house 75% the size of his (he also had two houses at my age, by the way), work 1.25X his hours and have a crappy 401k rather than a nice defined-benefit pension. Comparing just salary misses the story.

> It's not "shitting on" anyone; it's how (efficient) economics works. You don't earn more money unless you're producing more value. If a steel mill increases its output by way of some new automation, the accounting department and janitorial staff are unlikely to see a wage increase. The folks on the assembly line are also unlikely to see a wage increase because they're not more productive. The people who will be principally rewarded are the people who developed (including investing) the automation.

In your example, all the steel mill owners have to do to make more money is to passively own the steel mill while their employees work to improve it. If "efficient economics" works by compensating the people who create value, why are the passive owners getting most of the compensation? They're not creating any value. By your logic they probably should get less than the janitors and assembly line workers, who at least create some value.

I wonder if those studies got correlation vs causation correctly. Maybe well-doing companies have more satellite offices. Or particular cities have become magnets for people to come do business and have good ecosystem for kickstarting their growth.
Plan B. Crash dozens of asteroids onto the moon at a few designated locations. (Use rocks that might hit the earth or pass fairly close). Offer free mining rights to companies on a first-there-first-served basis.
If people who look, think, dress, act, love, or worship differently than they do are "a specific thing", then sure.
No, this isn't a valid comparison. YC gives an actual answer. If you don't get in to a YC batch, you know you're not in. What's more, pretty much everyone finds out at the same time, on a well-defined schedule.

That's not at all what raising from VC firms is like. VCs rarely tell companies "no"; in fact, they say the opposite: "we'd love to fund you, let's keep moving down the path to us funding you, here are some next steps". They will do this indefinitely, and continue long after the decision not to fund you has been made.

That's what Paul Graham is talking about.
I started at $55K in 2000. That was in line with normal and not part of the dotcom boom.
You're technically correct, but this case study was really eye-opening to me: http://blog.sagemath.com/2017/02/09/rethinkdb-vs-postgres.ht... They migrated from a RethinkDB cluster (similar to MongoDB) to a single Postgres server and the result was faster. And a single server is very large today, like 48 cores and 384 GB RAM.

And speaking of Postgres HA management, master promotion, etc. there are several tools like https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon available.
yep I see nothing wrong with classes, infact I think I'm going to go back to an older build of React. All this suspense, the messy fiber rewrite and all is just screwing up library.

LONG LIVE class based component, there was nothing wrong with them. Don't fix it if ain't broke.
None taken. And I agree -- but database design is inherently different under SQL and non-/noSQL. Constraints and relationships may be modelled completely differently in either case.
They will have a common thread: they all will be recipients of privileged treatment by society. That is indeed a crucially important fact that will share their attitudes and perspectives.

> The AGPL extends the definition of distributing the software to making the software available over the network

Doesn't this apply transitively? That is, I made MongoDB available over the network to my web tier (thus creating a derived work), and made my web tier available over the network to your browser (thus distributing it), thus, haven't I transitively made a derived work from MongoDB available?

I ask because this exact scenario seems to be what makes the company I work for so scared of AGPL. It's not necessarily cut and dry, but it's a scary enough possibility that we just ban it outright.
It’s a shame, because although I have strong liberal views, healthy skepticism of established, centrally organized programs is something that we as engineers should 100% listen to, and it’s the basis for much conservative economic thought. Unfortunately, people wanting to share that healthy skepticism are now associated with a party whose membership is also increasingly racist, violent, and oppressive of personal freedoms.

SV should think back to first principals: one is not guilty of the stereotypes of that group simply by sharing a subset of their thoughts. I find the New York scene more understanding of this nuance.

All that said, painting oneself as “the most excluded” is an exaggeration that does nobody any favors, and perpetuates this stereotype that conservatives are close minded. Understanding that there are people with needs far more fundamental than career and self-actualization is necessary for one to make well-advised policy recommendations, be they conservative or liberal.
YMMV is not a contradiction.

You're applying a worst case experience with a cubicle to all cubicles. I've had offices that sucked too, it doesn't mean offices are universally bad.
I keep hearing folks say this, but it feels very astroturfed to me... I totally can be wrong about that feeling, but it's my feeling and I own it.
Considering DRM is often cracked within hours of release I'm not sure if it is really worth the cost of the license.
Literally no parts of the statement are accurate. Crack is freebase cocaine, which is dangerous for a number of reasons, none of which involve lacing it with another (often more expensive) drug. Meth is also a strong and addictive stimulant and comes with its own bundle of problems; lacing it with a opioid/depressant doesn't make a ton of sense.

People do combine heroin and cocaine/heroin and meth, but the issues with cocaine and meth absolutely do not come from them being laced with heroin.
My point is that we should be offering citizenship to these people instead of H1B, which is glorified indentured servitude that only benefits giant corporations. Not to mention the blatant fraud in hiring practices companies use to justify more, ie: nobody in the US has 15 years of experience with ReactJS, tensorflow, or another technology that hasn't even existed that long, so we need more visas.

If it was actually about getting talent and not driving down wages we would be giving these people citizenship.

If you don't have drinking water, five to ten cents per day is a pretty good deal! It really doesn't matter that tap water somewhere else in the world is one cent.
>A framework shouldn't be designed around the fact that people don't know the language they are using, right?

No, but it could be designed around the fact that some of the language features are confusing or crap.
I think the big insight there is that some libraries are popular despite unintuitive design.
It's about power and the abuse of that power. It's probably thrilling to them, and this provides plenty of opportunities "right in front of them", instead of say traveling the world to find similar experiences.
And then you get hacked. Pos code is junk, and the os they run on is outdated and unsupported. It's amazing any of it actually works.
I have a problem with calling people that have a lot of money to invest with as value creating. We should give more respect to the people who do the work instead of funneling all the benefits to people who just happen to have money.
I would argue this is better than congress passing new legislation because congress is broken and corrupt. If congresss were to write new legislation on DRM it would make things worse since they always take the copyright maximalist position since that's what corporate lobbyists want.
Along those lines, I don't automatically assume a project manager, sales person, or designer is automatically a moron either, and hopefully they'll do the same for me along those dimensions.

Defaulting to a minimal level of respect is a good strategy and goes both ways.
Oh no. From a serious OS project to a buttcoin startup. I guess these people are the ones that pay the big money these days…
My building replaced its elevators last year, and one car still has an “activate Windows” overlay in the corner of the screen. A recent change to the floor selection wallpaper has somehow resulted in the button font in another car mysteriously reverting to Verdana.

All I can do is remind myself there’s a mechanical interlock to keep the car from free-falling.
So if you talk about what a person does, you can't say their name, but if you talk about what a company does, you can? ok, got it. And if it's a known person, you can also say their name. How many exceptions to this "rule"?

ie: "Google paid Andy Rubin $90M while keeping silent about a misconduct claim"

A frivolous rule for lack of a better term...
When I looked into conventional dehumidifiers and air conditioners, what stopped me from systemically re-using air conditioner condensate even as gray water was finding out that it can contain trace amounts of heavy metals and industrial oils from the condensate going through less-than-ideal materials used for the coils and evaporator parts. Also, if you live in an area with air pollution, the condensate contains concentrates of the pollution, as well as allergens and biological contaminants. I'm hoping someone reading this might have looked into it more than I have, and can point me to some reading material that can help me either further work through or dismiss those concerns.

When I read through the article, I didn't see any links to potability test results. So there might be a purification step after this gasifier powered water generator to turn the output of this into truly potable water, so the cost won't really be below two cents per liter in the field. Purification itself is an energy-intensive endeavor, whether to create purification materials or straight use of energy in more active systems, and is why potable water is a rough order-of-magnitude proxy for energy.
Thanks, I'll check these out. Inequality seems like a fact of life, so I'm wondering what's so horrifying about it.

Edit:

I was really hopeful for this Stanford resource, but I'm not even sure these "are facts that everyone should know".

> 10. Residential Segregation

tldr: Rich people and poor people don't live in the same areas.

tldr: Some people have bad jobs, and if you don't work full-time somewhere you're more likely to have a bad job.

This just seems like common sense. Was anyone surprised by this?

Certainly not horrified.
Every manager in California has to do mandatory 2 hour harassment prevention training every two years where such behavior is specifically called out as unacceptable. So he would have known this was wrong.

The irony is that this mandatory sexual harassment training was signed into law by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a couple of years after he had been fornicating with his house maid.

Starlight: Payment channels on Stellar
Well, conservatives in the US have thrown in with a party that typically demonizes people of color, is actively working to disenfranchise them, and has a growing white nationalist element to it.

Are there some conservatives who really just care about there being too much government regulation, or whatever? Sure. Looking at the party they rally around and the way it wants to treat people, there sure are some general trends that do not speak to a desire to embrace diversity.
!YES!

Basically I've been doing those kinds of things my entire life. Good thing I'm not illegal.

It is just nice to have a little good news.
Even being far left on most measures, being openly critical of intersectionality has become equally problematic (for lack of a better term).
A lot of "diversity" is confined to US progressive style who are kinda similar in all of those things. Especially those who think that conservatives wouldn't want to be around them.

I think it's much less about sex than you think. From my experience, groups of all men and groups of all women are much less productive than a mixed group. "Sexual tension" is a factor in mixed groups, but so is any other kind of conflict.

The following is just my experience and I don't claim to generalize although I will use it as a generalization since it is what I have observed.

Groups of men tend to fall into a pattern. There is a leader, there are people vying to be the leader, and there are "subordinates" who execute directives. Male groups try and get something done. These groups are about organizing people.

Groups of women also fall into a pattern. They tend to plan and analyze and put less priority on execution. In female groups the leader/subordinate dynamic is much less apparent, and it's mostly a dance of trying to understand what everyone is saying and what everyone wants. These groups are about organizing ideas.

Mixed groups obviously have a mix of these approaches. Men and women help each other to reach a balanced state of execution and planning, looking at the details while also keeping the big picture in mind. In addition to that, mixed groups are way more dynamic and adaptable. Patterns emerge contextually within the group, rather than following a standard social protocol. To me, this indicates higher potential for productivity in all areas of a project.

Sexual tension can occur, but I think it's a bit silly to suggest it's a Big Deal in the workplace, that it's something significant enough to single out from every other messy thing that can happen in groups of people. To make myself clear, sexual tension is a separate thing from sexual harassment, which is definitely a problem but is the result of some bad players and not the mixed group dynamic itself.
Without trying to be picky, I would say that copying is not consuming. So DRM is not anti-consumer, but anti-freedom.

The way words are thrown around theses days is kind of orwellian, and this has gotten into everyday's vocabulary. Part of this issue is philosophic in nature, and the absence of a proper public discussion is conditioning the way we speak in a perverse way.

Consuming requires the exhaustion of the good being consumed: food is eaten, and consumed; clothing is worn, and consumed. This does not apply to data, and to culture in general.

We consume tickets for the right to watch movies in a theater, or visiting a gallery. But we do not consume the movies or the art exhibition.

We could argue whether the limitation of freedom is justified in a given situation, and that is a whole different and interesting discussion, but confusing concepts has led to the generalized (and wrong) conclusion that scarcity pertains to any good we buy, in particular those of cultural nature.
Yeah, super super unacceptable hit on someone in an interview.

Absolutely, people like Peter Thiel need and deserve our support.

On a more serious note, I don't think this is the case. It's highly likely that coming out as pro capitalism, pro lower-taxation, and pro small government will not be career ending. What might be career ending however, is bringing all of your friends, family and colleagues together to declare yourself an out and proud dickhead.

"Wouldn't it be better to implement this as vanilla js component?"

I have not yet done this, but as I understand it... it's possible to use whatever JS you want as long as it works with the GB api.

Basically, I did the hello world react Gutenberg thing, then took a look at a11y and saw that none of the 8K or so institutional user I support could probably legally use it, and then got back to whatever Vue map searching for CPTs or whatever BS I was building based on ACF and plain old CPTs.

So I dunno for sure, but as I understand it you can build your Gutenberg components in any JS-based system without a lot of overhead. But of course, probably best to just use React as that is what all the core components will be written with.

As someone else noted, this system functions by using a refrigerator to keep air in the condenser at the dew point; the power required to do this varies based on humidity (changes the dew point) and temperature (changes the temperature gradient your refrigerator has to maintain between the dew point and the outside temp).

Chilling below the dew point doesn't add much, if any, performance.

> However, 200,000 people still die each year from pesticide poisonings, according to UN estimates, about 99% of them in the developing world. A further 110,000 suicides using pesticides take place each year.

So roughly 35% of deaths from pesticides are suicides.

On the other hand in 2012, 64% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides.

I wonder if you could get from that some kind of safety estimate, of how easy it is to die from a thing accidentally in realtion of how easy it is to die intentionally.... Probably not.
