When someone says "x is more expensive than y", yeah, it's relative.

When someone says "x is expensive", it's asserting that the item is a costly example of its genre. Given that drip coffee machines run from about $40 to hundreds and hundreds, it still seems disingenuous to say that Chemex is expensive.

Can you do pourover cheaper? Sure. But the good news is that in this area of coffeemaking, even the higher-end, beautiful option (the OG Chemex is literally in design museums) is pretty damn cheap.

I remember buying an LS-120 drive. To be fair, the drive was backwards compatible with 720/1.44MB floppies. But the 120MB 3.5 floppy could only be used in another LS-120 drive, oh which, I was the only one in my area with one. As the point of the floppies was to allow me to take my work with me, the larger disk capacity became essentially useless (except as a general backup).

This. For all the, "Where's my jetpack?" angst in the world of science fiction fanboys (I am one) and start-up builders, there seems to be a disconnect with the rest of humanity on this issue. If the chance of failure is > 0% and odds of death on failure is > 95%, I don't see how a product like this will ever become more than a pipe dream, or at best a prototype flown by a thrill seeker over open water for a publicity stunt.

Edit: After reflecting on this I realize that airplanes probably fall into these statistics, at least for catastrophic failure anyway. I'd be curious to examine statistics in more detail to figure out what a comfortable level of risk would be, but for now, I guess I fall into the ranks of your typical armchair critic on this one.

> Compared to the risk that your web app developers got authentication and authorization at the web app layer wrong, this is very unlikely. And given such a web application vector, your database behind the firewall is just as vulnerable to attack through the web app.

More layers and defense in depth is always a win for security. If nothing else, it limits your attack surface and gives you time to respond to an issue in one your layers.

The Economist article is making a relatively benign claim: it isn’t claiming collapse, crash, or even a recession, just a downturn.

So how did you get “tech doom” out of that? Is it just the setup for a straw man?
Some companies (I worked at one) are creating separate floors or entire buildings for the executive team with steel security doors and high security locks, walls, etc. And men with hidden AR15s to protect them.

Many of the big name CEOs and COOs have permanent security details, which means a truck full of men with hidden AR15s following them around.

I'm not sure how much farther this trend goes, but at some point things fall apart. We can't just pretend the elephant isn't in the room, there are too many men with rifles standing around this is getting absurd.
GoDaddy Releases 2018 Diversity and Salary Data
"Self-driving cars also benefit from lidar sensors, and the best ones cost thousands—if not tens of thousands—of dollars each. That's too expensive for an upgrade to a customer-owned vehicle. But the economics are more viable for a driverless taxi service, since the self-driving system replaces an expensive human taxi driver."

That's probably the crucial point. For now, lidar is needed for safe operation, and too expensive for mass deployment in private cars.
I think they have already done this just using a different approach.

I think accounting is probably a bad example of this. TurboTax automates the job of tax preparation, not accounting in general. The national tax prep brands (think HR Block) don’t even hire people with accounting degrees to do their manual tax prep.
Your users still want feedback _as they type_. The idea of this example though is that you want to see an update as soon as possible. If you use blur, you're also deferring the updates until the timeout is over for the first time - The timeout can only be approximated and will ultimately be more keystrokes behind as if we start rendering ASAP.

There is also the other problem with debounce that was pointed out earlier: The main thread _will be blocked_ when a long running tasks is executed, no matter _when_. You mentioned that the block would happen _after_ the user type in so it would be less noticeable but this is only an approximation. If you have animations on your website that use rAF, the block will still be very visible. Also if the user continues to type.

That said, I know that this is a contrived example and it might not be used as-such in a real world application. I also think it's not comparable to your auto-saving input example that would maybe be better off with using a debounce call. I'm sure that better examples for this use case will follow.

Edit: I can recommend Dan's talk at JSConf Iceland last year. He speaks about debounce as well: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/01/sneak-peek-beyond-react-...

This is begging the question. I do not accept your premise that systemic gender bias exists, and even if I did im sure we would disagree about the extent that it does.

Gender differences exist individually and statistically across populations. There is no reason gender outcomes should be equal in all, or even most, cases. Your argument is that there exists a _global_ system disciriminating against race and gender?
For me there's two reasons to learn some programming:

1. Our lives is surrounded by technology, and thus software, and it'll just get more prominent in the future. Knowing a bit about how programs are put together can help reason about how a program works and its possibilities and limitations. For doing rote work it usually doesn't matter, but once you're off the beaten path this can really help.

For example, it can allow you to be confident about exploring a certain function in a program, aiding in self-discovery.

2. I found that the way you have to think when programming has improved my analytical skills. This has made me better at analyzing and making arguments, for example when reading or writing texts. This is something that's useful in most facets of life.

Is programming for everyone? No. But I think it's useful that people know what goes on behind the scenes, that it's not magic.
Agreed. And the cost is higher than that even; most people who look at code are not the authors of the code, and presenting people with a snippet that looks like `a + (b + c)` seems like it would always be a stumbling block -- "why not `(a + b) + c`? Is there a reason, or did they just type it that way because that's their style?"

I used the first 100 digits of pi (left for even, right for odd) and it guessed correctly 49% of the time.

I think women working and both partners needing to work simultaneously are inextricably linked though. While this could be a gross oversimplification, adding 1/2 of the population to the workforce would, through the laws of supplyand demand, decrease wages by 1/2 (assuming that all women were not already dedicated to raising children).
Yes, men can also leave the workforce just as women can enter it, but would a man be more inclined to leave if he was the only breadwinner because the woman was already raising his children? Sorry I know a lot of this may be considered inflammatory but I don't think these questions are being asked (precisely because they may be seen as inflammatory, though my intention really is not to be controversial).

From Accidental Empires, which the article quotes: "Then there was Flight Simulator, the only computer game published by Microsoft". Even at the time (long before XBox), this wasn't true.

Women not working at this point would decrease the birth rate, because the reason people aren't having kids is they feel like they can't afford them, and halving their revenue isn't going to make them afford them more. (In locales where daycare is already very subsidized, which is most of the world.) Of course most of those people can afford kids in the absolute sense, either through paying the subsidized daycare or somebody staying home for what is essentially only a few years, but they don't want to because then they have to live in 1000sqft, own a single car, and cook their own dinner. Which is a lifestyle most people today don't want -- especially not young urban men, if they're making any money at all.

The 25th Anniversary of “The Downward Spiral”
Globally 1.25 million people die from car accidents annually, but a vanishingly tiny proportion of them would have been saved by the proprietary tech of a taxi company that doesn't even operate in many of their regions, even assuming the technology is ultimately capable of delivering a net improvement on commercial driver fatal accident rates.

Uber isn't a philanthropic research endeavour, and it can't rationalise killing people based on lives it couldn't or wouldn't have saved in the event of its technology actually working. The reason they put tech that reportedly hit things every 15k miles and had a near miss every 100 miles on the road as soon as possible has nothing to do with optimizing for minimal loss of life and everything to do with optimizing for a unicorn valuation.
There was a stretch of about 10 years either side of 1960 in which the term, and perhaps even the hipster, flourished.
