One of the reasons I suspect AOC gets so much attention (apart from her very unabashed personality) is because she represents the Millenial generation, always ridiculed as being "lazy" and "coddled". Finally someone in Power who:

* is a millenial and

* understands millenial priorities

Ironically, the policy proposals that the most outspoken Millenials embrace would actually strengthen programs that help the older generation.

Dropbox's announcement: https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/dropbox-is-acquiring...

"Dropbox is acquiring HelloSign to improve document workflows for hundreds of millions of users."
I don't follow that argument.

C++ didn't break through because the benefits didn't outweigh the drawbacks compared to straight C (meaning you can implement C++ like concepts in straight C, and not have to deal with a lot of baggage C++ brings).

Rust is a whole other kettle of fish. It has more or less been proven by this point that people cannot write memory safe C, even experts in the language are still introducing memory-unsafe bugs in 2018. Therefore Rust is bringing features the C language cannot offer.

Which isn't to say I know that Rust will be "successful." I don't know that. But I do know it is worth TRYING to see if it can be successful, and C++'s lack of success isn't really a counter-argument.

I'm still sad that Microsoft's Singularity OS[0] never got further developed, interesting concept.

The secret is that math is too big to fit into any one book. It takes many books with many perspectives you learn the generality and applicability of the topic. The average person who couldn't learn a topic read one book on the topic. The average mathematician read 5 or 10.
I don’t disagree with your sentiment exactly but it seems like an apples to oranges comparison. I would think adding cash would be as simple as something like:
Class cash implements PaymentTypes { ..

And then the compiler will tell you all the stuff you have to do to implement a payment type. It might be a little or it might be a lot. Your ADT example also might be a little work or it might be a lot. I know some, or many, “frameworks” in the oop world might have that abstracted out n degrees for some rare or imaginary problem where you have to implement the abstractpaymetypefactoryfactory and all it’s constituents... to be fair that would ha e the ability to solve that rare or imaginary other problem though.

It's only easier if you're entering a greenfield industry, with no saturation. IE. the internet in the late 90's, or the App Store in 2007.

In any new industry, there's always very low-hanging fruit ideas to pursue. Like restaurant reviews (Yelp) or an app to track your calories (MyFitnessPal). It was also easier to market it because more people had the need for those types of products back then, and thus willing to try it. Now? Nobody will listen to you unless you have a truly compelling, original product ("Oh, that's been done already. I don't want to hear about it")

And SEO and ranking in Google for competitive keywords was much easier in the 2000's, even as late as 2008. 2010-2011 was when things started to turn, and became insanely competitive.

I think the solution to this is that science publication needs to be done like science itself. Just as scientists commit to doing experiments without knowing what the results of the experiments will be, publishers need to commit to publishing experiments without knowing what the results of the experiments will be.

Publishers need to be involved earlier in the process. Instead of submitting a completed research finding, scientists should apply to publish research before doing it, and if the topic of research is interesting to the publisher, both scientist and publisher should commit to publish in that journal, no matter what the results are.

Additionally, publishers should commit to publish only something like 1/3 research into new topics, with the other 2/3 being publishing attempt to reproduce previous interesting results. I don't mean a slavish repetition of existing experiments, but taking a critical eye toward testing the same hypotheses with different (hopefully better) methodology.
Here's an exercise that would be interesting. Look at all the 'Show HN' posts announcing new startups from a couple of years ago. Find how many are still operating. Then contact the creators to see if the revenues produced have paid for the hours invested.

Then we would have some real data instead of my anecdote. And yours.
On the other hand, Apple is one of the companies that could make a dent in the other direction (if they thought it made sense financially and overall): They have the cash reserves and the option for long-term planning that they could e.g. have financed better-suited machinery for the screw-maker as part of a long-term contract (if there's really not enough manufacturing capacity for custom screws around). They'd probably be able to set up an apprenticeship program training the numbers of employees they need, with more pull over other, less well-known companies. Of course for that for that to make sense, they'd need to commit to building something long-term, and can't just access an existing pool. (Although I'd assume they spent lots of effort getting the flows at Foxconn et al worked out properly too)

And I suspect scale matters here a lot, so a relatively small experiment is going to have supply issues where a large project would create enough demand that investing to fill it makes sense.

First off I don't think you can make that determination, (was it worth it), only Snowden himself can. Second, while the toll was high for him, those of us who have sworn an oath to the Constitution take that oath very seriously and I applaud him for being one of the rare ones with enough conviction to act on his beliefs instead of just spouting them. Third I am eternally grateful to Snowden because without him all my rants about the coming surveillance dystopia would still be met with incompetent or malicious accusations of being "crackpot conspiracy theory" and generally ridiculed (like many other things the public still hasn't caught up on).
And then the children of the dead, wealthy baby boomers will pick up where they left off.
> But I think today it is getting harder and harder; so simple projects won't cut it anymore and more effort needs to be put into both product development and marketing to get any sort of traction.

There's always going to be problem domains where you can code simple solutions and make money but it's identifying the problem domains that's the hard part.

By the time you hear multiple people telling you "you can make something simple here and make a ton of money!" about a certain problem domain, you've already missed the boat.

Previous to working at my current company, I was at a startup working in a coworking space, and I also previously had been at a startup in its own space. Overall, the quality of the space was better in the coworking space. There were also benefits to having more "networking" opportunities (i.e., just talking to people that sit near you). We were able to share knowledge across companies, which was always very valuable.

A lot depends on the particulars of the coworking space. One space I worked in ( https://www.grandcentraltech.com/ ) was laid out not as one giant space, but rather conference rooms broke up the space so that desks were in clusters of 12-18. It was a nice balance between not paying a premium for your own room while also dealing with the noise that comes from a completely wide open space.

You do need to think about security a bit differently. Our startup was a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), and to test out our tech we had a whole bunch of phones. As much as possible, we had to keep them locked up.

The first start-up I worked for was before coworking spaces were as big a deal. The space was tolerable, but not great.

Housing and childcare are also outpacing inflation and wages. It’s crazy how much more things cost as a percentage of income than in the ‘90s. We’re going to have an inevitable retirement crisis when most millennials are forced to work until they die since they won’t have anything left to put into savings. 70% of Americans can’t even put together $400 in an emergency. I see things getting even worse unless something significant changes.
So Dell can make Laptops in TX, Nokia ran the largest Cell Phone Factory in the world in TX (Alliance Corridor). You have Texas Instruments and probably dozens of more high tech electronics manufacturers and Apple can't build it's Macbooks or whatever in the USA because it can't get enough screws, really?

Another trash article from the NYT's.
I’ve often seen this solved by drawing a canvas at at least 2x the viewable size and then using css to force it to be smaller. This is because of retina displays. Very much like images these days. It is often a very easy thing to solve.
I can't remember the very specifics, but one particular instance that sticks out is when I was creating some images on the fly for tobii eye-tracking software. I was using pillow, I remember... I think it might have been pillow which wouldn't work well with PyPy. I'll try to dig out my code later and see what specifically made things not work with PyPy in a few days
I learned quite early on that HR isn't there to protect employees and those "report something" lines are there to make sure whistleblowers are corralled and dealt with as harshly as possible. The government is worse. It's a religion--and you don't go against the orthodoxy if you know what's good for you.

This is why I actually respect Donald Trump because for all his flaws, he is trying to drain the damn swamp. We have let a massive evil grow over this land and it's time we do something about it besides get pushed around.

Had I to do it over again, I wouldn't bother being a whistleblower, I would just sneak into the worst people's homes and slit their throats. It would be less traumatic overall. I figure I could live with the murders.

Remember what Solzhenitsyn said about how they "burned in the camps" after the realized they had nothing to lose and should have fought harder when they had the chance.
The point of this article is that Apple likes to use non-standard screws. It's not hard at all to buy standard screws made in the US.
Millennials don’t seem to have a clue what’s in their best interest so I’m going to disagree with you. If there were any solid ideas coming from anybody in terms of helping millennials those ideas would have political traction. To think that only millennials can represent millennial interests is stupid.
The headline, as usual, is wrong.

The tiny screw shows not why it won't be assembled in USA but why it should be assembled. Making a phone or laptop requires an entire industry to back it up. Making those things in US makes it possible that these industries will come back.

Also, just for US security it is probably not important that the screws are imported. What is important is that the electronics are not handled outside US and US retains its ability to make practical electronics and not rely 100% on China.

I'm just an armchair general, so take this for what it's worth. I view US vs China in the same way I view Japan vs US in WW2. At the start of the war, we're going to start with the maximum amount of resources. We have more "Kinetic" energy. But I personally think China has more "Potential" energy. Unless we win in the first volleys of the war, I think China could very reasonably extend the length of the war, and ultimately win.

Do you ask for real or just troll? It is unfair because, because the domain costs 6€ if you’re the middleman and 300€ otherwise. I guess €3000 is not a super high entry barrier, but probably there is some red tape as well.

That's pretty straightforward in principle. What they need to do is the same as older folk i.e. vote in large numbers for their own financial interest.

Politicians are fairly simple people at heart. If pandering to you will get them (re-)elected then they'll pander to you.
I apply the same strategy and focus on job listings from government related jobs/projects.
Absolutely.

Manufacturers sent manufacturing jobs overseas thirty years ago, so few Americans learned manufacturing skills for thirty years, now manufacturers use the effect to justify the cause. But of course the real reason was simply that they didn't want to pay American wages.

If manufacturers brought the jobs back Americans would learn the skills.
It’s been going on for awhile but there are a number of factors which have become worse since the 90s: health insurance, tuition, housing, etc. all cost significantly more and we’re a generation further on the hollowing out of middle class jobs due to automation, offshoring, replacing employees with contractors, etc. I think the net effect is that it’s well over a key threshold for many people where a generation earlier someone might have complained about one of those costs but still been able to make it work whereas now it’s just not possible fora growing number of people.

As an example, I know someone with type 1 diabetes. The inflation-adjusted cost of insulin has gone up something like 700% over the last 20 years and the number of jobs offering health insurance has declined while the employee’s cost percentage has risen, so the percentage of people who can just absorb it is shrinking.
CO2 isn't a particulate but I would say it is slightly misleading for a different reason - car particulate requirements are pretty damn strict to the point diesels are the dominant source despite being a road minority.
The numbers for cruise ships would ironically look way better in the 70s when us automakers were still trying to claim it was unreasonable to require the exhaust not smell of unburnt gasoline. And that was before catalytic converters were essentially mandatory.

A more apples to apples comparison would be in trucks or buses - granted all should be improving as well.
This acquisition will fail if Whitney, Neal and the HelloSign team isn't given the freedom and authority to direct integration, marketing and product direction going forward.

HelloSign has demonstrated competencies Dropbox has not. Great that Dropbox nailed sync, desktop integration and sharing years ago; but since then they've done little to show any vision or execution in marketing, sales or product direction.

As a Dropbox shareholder and user I am hoping the Dropbox team will give their HelloSign colleagues the freedom and authority needed to save Dropbox from almost certain failure. The sync, store and search ship sailed long ago.

There are two more acquisitions I'd like to see Dropbox make this year of private companies to round out the product line.

Sure, but the inverse is true too. Sometimes you can get better performance in Rust, because the borrow checker allows you to do things you would never do in C/C++. For example, passing around array slices is very common in Rust, but the cases where you'd do it in C or C++ is much more limited, because it's so error prone. You have no guarantees that the memory being pointed to won't be pulled out from under your feet.

I never read it. I have to agree with you, though.

I loved [good quality] cigarettes and beer or coffee or whisky.

I don't regret quitting at all. I do wish I could enjoy it without getting addicted—but I can't. That said I don't like the smell anymore, and I have very little inclination to start up again. I don't think having a smoke would cause me to fall right back in anymore, but few occasions are worth it.

But yeah, always loved smokey smells and flavours (I love peaty scotch). So that premise you targeted is a bit naive on the author's part.

For the record, I quit without any aids outside of a bad illness for about a week and the desire to stop.
The engineer in me is judging them... why the heck did you make a design that required 3 weird screws? Screws are standardized parts; creating an esoteric hardware design in a vacuum with an "oh we'll fix that in production" [literal meaning of production] seems to be the actual problem.

I agree it's rough, but your experience isn't completely typical either. Fallback Renderer works for me on Ubuntu 18 (and everyone on my team with various different Linux flavours).

Pre-compilation shouldn't trigger all the time, and there is an explicit workflow page about how to avoid constantly triggering the need to restart Julia and JIT everything. It reduced my amount of cursing tremendously.

The ecosystem has improved loads since 1.0 came out but is still lacking in some corners.

The pay off for us has been worth it, but with so much outdated information out there, the tooling in a rough-around-the-edges state, and the documentation of core packages sometimes lacking it's also not something you can easily dip your toes into unfortunately.

It's simple in terms of day to day running now that it works well but getting to that stage and the implementation behind it was a ton of work.

I don't think you're going to easily find a project that's easy to implement, requires little maintenance, has low running costs, markets itself, scales etc. You'll have to put in effort somewhere.

I think if you look into the projects being posted in the thread, you'll realise few are simple if you want to make something people will pay for.
Dominant web design trends in 2019
I disagree - I wrote a simple tool for my family a number of years back, left it on my personal website in a way that was usable by the general public, and ignored it. Came back a couple years later, saw it was getting tens of thousands of uses a month, added some relevant amazon affiliate links, and hit that $500 a month mark. I let it run for a couple years like that, then sold it.

So if I can hit the mark accidentally off a weekend project, it certainly is achievable if you put serious effort in.
