Absolutely not, as I have no need to do so as there's so much more on the Web other then Google, Facebook and Amazon. I can't even remember my usernames let alone the passwords.

Clearly, what I do is irreverent for everyone else (and no one else would care anyway). My major concern is that those who find themselves having to use Google or Facebook essentially have no other alternatives. In this way Big Tech has has effectively monopolized the Web and I consider that completely unacceptable. So should most other people.
That's kind of the whole point of it - is that you don't need to trust it.

RC is the easiest GC algorithm to implement, that is all.

It is quite bad for shared data, because handling lock count requires a lock and also trashes the cache, both bad ideas in today's modern hardware architectures.

Also contrary to common belief, it also has stop-the-world issues, because releasing a graph based data structure can originate a cascade of count == 0, thus having a similar behaviour.

Which when coupled with a naive implementation of destructors can even cause stack overflows, due to the nested calls of the data being released.

So when you start adding optimizations for dealing with delayed destruction, non recursive destruction calls, lock free counting, a cycle collector, you end up with a machinery similar to a tracing GC anyway.

Finally what many seem to forget, just because a language has a tracing GC, it doesn't mean that every single memory allocation has to go through the GC.

When a programming language additionally offers the support for value types, stack allocation, global segment static allocation and manual allocation in unsafe code, it is possible to enjoy the productivity of a tracing GC, while having the tooling to optimize the memory usage and responsiveness when required to do so.

Having said all of this, RC makes sense in Swift because it simplifies interoperability with the Objective-C runtime. If Swift had a tracing GC, they would need a similar optimization like .NET has to deal with COM (see Runtime Callable Wrapper).

Worth noting that in the UK the "statute of limitations" for getting a refund on a defective product is 6 years according to the Consumer Rights Act (what used to be the "Sale of Goods Act").

AIUI in EU we get default 2 years of warranty on all goods. And we get a 14 day cooling off period on goods that are the result of solicited sales (cold [phone-]calling, selling at your door), or are bought online.

If an LED bulb should last 10 years then up to the 6 year point you should be able to get 40% back on a failed unit. Up to 2 years, get a replacement, repair, or full refund (at the sellers choice).

With the CRA the right is against the /seller/ and not the manufacturer though.
I would argue the amount of expertise will go up with term limits: people who still have fresh memories of living outside the government bubble can actually make a lot of difference.

Moreover, it works the other way round as well. If, say, a teacher returns back to school after a term in state senate, the school will get access to invaluable wealth of knowledge of government internals.
> The same applies to tax avoidance. It might be legal but it's still wrong.

Why? I'd argue that the US federal government is mostly immoral, and thus paying taxes is wrong. I only do it because I'm coerced into acting immorally from the threat of violence.

Comparing an action like murder, which is overwhelmingly believed to be immoral by religions and philosophers for millennia, to not overpaying US federal taxes is just silly.
Because private citizens aren’t given the same affordances. The double standard is objectionable.
The New York Times Co. reports $709M in digital revenue for 2018
Agreed the title should include the year of the article: 1995. It is reacting to the book "The Bell Curve" which was published in 1994. The wikipedia article is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve

TL;DR; White people are genetically smarter than black people.

(To be transparent: I'm a white father to a black daughter... the book is bull shit IMHO)

That said: If you enjoy genetics, I'd recommend "A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived", which uses actual science and is much more recent:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30135182-a-brief-history...

The author's style is entertaining and insightful, although a bit flowery. As a reviewer on Good Reads mentioned "That was very... British."

This comment is why I came to comment myself. You cannot remove these types of things once they are baked in they are there for good unless there is some very complex math involved in somehow safely removing or flagging this section of the blockchain but then that would defeat the purpose of the whole cryptographically secure nature of it.

Second is you can stomp down on websites that search the blockchain for text, images, videos, illegal documents, etc. However that is not solving the issue directly. However that is hurting a lot of positive potentially interesting uses on account of the very small percentage of abuses. What you essentially have is a GIANT public whiteboard but you've given everyone a permanent marker. If you can control the content that goes in very directly (doing some AI analysis on photos for example) then there will always be a subversive tactic like the XOR one mentioned above, etc.

I suppose the real reason I comment here is that I cannot forsee anyway that these things will not happen and will not continue to happen. Like with ThePirateBay I suppose you have to go after the sites that make it convenient to find this information rather than trying to solve the problem in the blockchain itself _somehow_, which I think we can pretty much agree from a security standpoint and tech-forward approach would render the whole concept of blockchain dubious.
you can just set a lower TTL and get a response from a hop somewhere in your ISP's net.
The change we need isn't going to be arrived at by turning some knobs. We need deep structural change around our relationship with growth, capital and ownership. The total job pool due to the way we have structured and rewarded society will only continue to shrink. No amount of votec training will change that. It is all just deck chairs.

I fear this because I think a vast majority of our society is built on personal skills.

Which is also something beginner React users often discover the hard way when they start with class instance variables, wonder why things don't work as they expect, and then have to learn to use setState.

At least from the principle of least surprise, Hooks don't have that particular learning hump of trying to use a built-in language feature (class instance variables) and finding out the hard way that they don't work as expected.

> Fun fact 1: since most people are raised by their parents, religion and political party affiliation are also highly heritable, but no one is suggesting that there's a genetic basis for religion or political views.

Religious and political views being influenced by genetics is not only a completely valid hypothesis, but the most likely. Cultural environment is downstream of genetics, and although cultural memes look like they evolve, they're trickster replicators: subservient to genes.
I wrote about it before, but the smart poor face quite the uphill battle. Friend of mine scored a 1600 on the SAT but went to one of the worst high schools in the area. He was rejected from elite universities. He couldn’t compare to those that also scored well on the SAT, subject SATs (which our high school didn’t make clear was a thing), and those that already took calculus 1-3, linear algebra, data structures, and proof based mathematics courses from magnet schools. It isn’t just about raw intelligence and scoring highly on exams. He was behind before he started by attending our high school.

Some elite schools talk about free scholarships for those that make less than a certain income, but how many of those elite schools are admitting poor smart students? When you’re smart and attend a HS that doesn’t make you competitive, you tend to get rejected.
Yeah, they're important & valuable. However, battery-powered smoke detectors do it with 1% of the power.

If every home in Australia had two smoke alarms, that means 5,600 kW of continuous and largely wasted energy consumption. I don't mean wasted in purpose: smoke alarms are essential. The wasteful part is the fact that 99% of the power going into smoke alarms goes to converting AC power to DC power.

As far as I'm concerned, that's 99% scope for improvement.

I used Mailinator as the quick solution to access some one time resources on websites that forced me to register. It was the simplicity of the throwaway email that made it attractive to me. But when it's blocked on a website I usually wouldn't want to bother with c more complicated setup. If the effort is justified then I can probably use a regular email address. Other people might have different use cases.

I would agree that wealth shouldn't negate his accomplishments.

I think a lot of people who point out Gates' family wealth are reacting to the current political/ideological climate which would say "look, Bill Gates is self-made, so anyone can be!" neglecting the ridiculous enabling impact that enormous family wealth has, and shaming poor people for not being able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Something that stuck with me from law school was that frequently when students raised the point that a law could be written far more simply, the professor would walk through the language they suggested and basically always the simplest formulation was absolutely shot through with loopholes, and as you close the obvious loopholes one by one, you end up with language that looks just like the statute as written, or you end up with a law that doesn’t accomplish the same thing.
I should say that your previous comment has points I think are good ones! I just don't think it's a pie in the sky idea imagining a world where younger people can bring compassion, patience and kindness to an older population even as they deteriorate. I think increased technological complexity in life, the markets, and our current governments can not create, or exist in the same way in, such a world.
> more responsibilities on the developer

Adding more responsibilities to a developer will not have a positive impact on the developer's productivity. Abstractions fall apart, and time has to be put into learning/keeping fresh with those technologies when it occurs.

That's not how it works. It is very similar to sidecar approach which various service discovery solutions have. You have haproxy running locally on localhost and you communicate with it, the haproxy then routes the request to right nodes. No DNS, no LVS and no keepalived.
Corporate taxes are value destructive. A company is either going to use that money to expand, creating a more jobs, paying employees more - who will pay taxes, or buy back stock or pay dividends.

The only real issue I have is the difference between capital gains taxes and income taxes.
Yes. Other states had their highways paid by the Federal government. Massachusetts had originally paid for its highways itself. The balance came due with the Big Dig, cost adjusted for 2000.
How is this different to using a React component installed from npm? You can look inside them if you want to, but don't have to. That is the goal of abstraction.

If you want to have no abstraction and show all state in your component, just don't extract any into Custom Hooks. Then it's really not very different to a class component.
I also would like the details.

I think citing people "mad at the company" is a straw man. I'm sure someone is, but most people are angry at the system.

It's really quite simple. My marginal tax rate is probably 28% or 32% or something. My effective federal rate is, I'm sure, sub-20%, but every additional dollar I make is taxed at that top rate.

I don't need billionaires to be taxed at 70% or have a wealth tax. I just want people to pay the tax they're supposed to pay. I don't want loopholes where someone made $100m through cattle future derivatives that have a carve-out when implemented in cities in farm states with populations of under 10,000, so they pay 0%.

Same for corporations. Fine, you write of x,y,z. But at some point if you're making more money than ever you shouldn't be paying less tax than ever, let alone $0. The solution, in my mind, is not to soak them for being successful. The solution is to find each and every loophole they're exploiting, and tear them the hell up.

I’ve wondered about this. If you assume that intelligence is evenly distributed across some demographic and a particular group is underrepresented, then you’re missing a lot of intelligent people and accepting a lot of less intelligent people in your overrepresented group.

Any company that is struggling with hiring should take notice. I’ve noticed a bias towards Ivies and traditionally well regarded CS schools in initial recruitment, in getting interviews and in decisions. And sure, that’s understandable, but would it really hurt for Google to send a few recruiters to HBCU’s? Or for Microsoft to sponsor a program for underprivileged kids to learn to program. Or heck, help kids who can’t afford to go to college still get opportunities in tech.
> To the HN crowd, here's a simple but precise definition. Heritability is the extent to which variability (e.g., the standard deviation) of a trait in one generation can be explained by the variability of that trait in the previous generation. Note that high heritability does not mean that the trait is genetically based.

> Fun fact 1: since most people are raised by their parents, religion and political party affiliation are also highly heritable, but no one is suggesting that there's a genetic basis for religion or political views.

You're wrong. There are separated twin studies; they rule out stuff like "parents, religion and political party affiliation". There may in fact be some other mechanism by which heritability works, but it would have to be physical, and it would have to act in ways indistinguishable from genetics.

Also, there are plenty of people suggesting that people's religion and political views have a genetic component.

I recommend George Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces".
This is about comparative mythology, aka comparative story telling. He works out the core elements and common concepts that appear in story telling across cultures and time.

It opened my mind to be able to understand all kinds of storys on another level.

In school I always hated literature. It was like they tried to make me do something I just didn't understand at all. Literature was just random stories for me and all interpretation and attribution of meaning was fruitless and had I to just guess/fake it. Yea maybe my education was just bad who knows, doesn't matter now.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces changed that. Now I was open for all the literature and saw everything in a new light. I could recognize common concepts in stories and human life in general.

It also opened my mind for later Alan Watts reads on the interconnected-ness of everything. Someone already recommended Alan Watts. Which I can only approve of! I'd also like to add "The Way of Zen" and "The Book - On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are", also by Watts.

AirPods completely changed my view of BT devices.

AirPods are the reason I bought Beats Studio headphones. Oh, no, my good sirs and madams, I am the last person on this planet who is going to buy something because some guy who likes big butts put his name on them. No, I am well aware of the denigration of the sound quality from those who supposedly know better. Yeah, they're probably over-priced for what they are.

But I wanted wireless over-ear headphones with noise-cancellation, and Beats has the W1 chip that give AirPods their magical lack of annoyance. Tried them in the store, they didn't suck (they are bass-heavy), take my money.

That's only if an algorithm would halt if it has a condition to do so.

If you use a finite state machine, You can control the states and make mathematical assurances that your program terminates.

The solution to the halting problem is that you work backwards, instead of forwards. You don't let a program run forever and hope for the answer. We also don't give infinite memory to programs to eventually exit/halt or not - My machines have 8 GB and 32GB ram. And oomkiller does its job rather well.

Business taxes and personal taxes are different. Businesses pay taxes on income, while individuals pay taxes on revenue.

The differences are significant enough that any sort of parallel like this does not hold a lot of value. Yes, it might make sense to disallow this for corporations, but the justification seems reasonable -- it's not a loophole that allows corporations to take home huge amounts of money without paying taxes, it just allows them to deal with time horizons longer than one year. As it is, a gain in the second half of the first month of the year can be offset by a loss in the first half of the first month of the year, just because of reporting frequency.

The Only Way Out Is Through: Using Virtual Reality for PTSD in Veterans
Basically, you want to take a negative and frame it as a positive. You can respond to this something like, I spend too much time doing X, in order to limit myself and produce results faster, I set a task at the end of the project, with a fixed amount of time to update X.

An example is, I spend a lot of time in writing unit tests, in order to deliver projects on time, I set a fixed amount of time at the end of the deliverable to write unit tests, in order to provide a stable code set, and a set of tests which can help with changes in the future. Another one can be, I work in a silo mode, so in order to offset that, I send e-mails/communicate with my team members more frequently, in order for them to be aware of what I am working on and where I am in my projects, also, to be able to solicit feedback from them.
