That is a fair way of looking at this, but in the present situation, I would consider the decision about whether to include a Facebook share button on one's homepage (or more generally the question which third-party code you allow to run) as a fundamental question of operating a commercial web site. From an economical perspective, you can't blame anyone for doing it, but if you are, don't claim the moral highground either.
server-side react is absolutely slower than jade/pug for templating. there's a lot of work being done in the area in terms of caching but it is a bit more complex (not sure I grasp enough of it to explain it) than how jade/pug work.

I’ve contributed code to a handful of open source projects. Learning how to do that is also a worthwhile (and sometimes humbling) experience. I haven’t contributed to Python but it has an entire guide for how to do so, which already puts it above many projects:

To be fair, these aren't surprising because they're highlighted as such.

`help pwd` says

By default, `pwd' behaves as if `-L' were specified.

`man pwd` says

If no option is specified, -P is assumed.

Not the same thing. 2 eggs, 2 sperms. Here it's one egg, two sperms.
Outrage only goes so far though. Using Brexit as an example, when the vote first went through, everyone devoured every bit of content they could regarding it, and the media followed. Then they started printing nothing but outrage until people just gave up and quit following the news. Anecdotal evidence sure, but everyone I know seems to only follow the news in passing now. Every headline. Every article. Every political interview. It all now revolves around this one completely divisive topic. If it's not Brexit it's Trump. It's exhausting.

It's no surprise that Facebook also seemed to chase the golden goose, but now that the main page is nothing but outrage or divisive news people are leaving in droves because they're fed up with seeing the same, day after day.

I have no mercy for them. I have no explanation other than pure evil for the thing which i describe below - happy to hear other thoughts on this.

1) On mobile Chrome, in a not private tab, I flag an ad served via the FB ad network, to be precise it was on imgur.

2) On my smartphone, I strictly and only use FB with https://mbasic.facebook.com in mobile Chrome in a private tab. I never logged in in the not private tab.

3) I log-in to FB in the private tab a couple of minutes later and I get a notification that they received and reviewed the complaint from 1)

That was a huge WTF moment for me yesterday - I would love to learn on how they do it and why they think that's something the user would be happy to experience.

Esp, the disable personalized results.

In their privacy section they do admit to storing identifiable information for at least 7 days (possibly more) to fight spam and improve search results. They also send user identifiable information to bing, as well, who then store it for at least 4 days. Apart from that, they use third party tools in their non-search parts which might be subject to different privacy rules than their main website.

From their app, they send information to Facebook. They use the Amazon, Google, and Microsoft as advertisment providers, if I'm not mistaken.

I use my phone as an MP3 (Opus, actually) player, with a selection of music from my ~20K track collection. This works better for me than unlimited access to all music, because it makes me have to listen to a smaller selection of content, so I give each album more attention.

While I do also have a Spotify Premium subscription, I am using it a lot less now than I used to. At least 10% of the album's I have simply aren't available on Spotify, and possibly never will be. Underground self-released artists very often don't bother with streaming services, or are outright against the entire concept in the first place, claiming that it devalues the music. It certainly doesn't pay very well. There's also the issue of music disappearing because of rightsholder disputes, such as most of the Motörhead discography being unavailable for an extended period of time. That sort of thing just isn't acceptable.

Honestly I've come to realize that I prefer a smaller nicely curated collection over a massive unwieldy semi-unlimited library, with questionable curation. I have reported hundreds of curation errors to Spotify, but they keep popping up, especially errors involving two identically-named artists being mixed together.

I will admit that I am very particular about tagging, labeling and sorting by genre. Spotify is woefully inadequate in this regard. For my own collection, I am in full control, which makes it much easier to sort and handle.

Behind the Scenes of a Mature Ember.js Project
I think the article nails it on the head in the first paragraph

>Change their database schema.

>Release their code to production quickly and often.

>Use development tools like programming languages or data stores of their choice.

>Make their own trade-offs between computing resources and developer productivity.

>Have a preference for maintenance/monitoring of their functionality.

Every single one of those is an organizational problem. Microservices are fantastic for solving the problem of "very large organization trying to manage multiple releases from multiple teams with lots of interconnecting dependencies". But they solve that problem with a giant flaming chainsaw with greased up handle. It works but don't use it unless you have to.
you don't NEED to include the serialized state in the body of the HTML, this is the common practice, you can wait for the client to parse your js and then make a separate request for the state data.

I don't get point 2, if they are to 'hydrate' the react renders in node with data, they have to have a 'fetching' logic in there, the fact that it connects to an 'API' instance makes no difference, the client could use the same connection with same logic client side.

I might not be up to date, but a few years ago when I dealt more with this I found ways of creating a facebook share button that mimics the functionality of the real thing without adding facebooks javascript to my site. It was some special URL if I am not mistaken.

Not all facebook share buttons might be created equal.
I agree that joint ownership is absolutely something to be avoided. But there's also tenancy-in-common (TIC), which provides liability commensurate with your ownership stake. In most places TIC is an antiquated form of ownership usually only seen as the result of intestacy.

Banks typically won't issue a mortgage for a TIC title as they're not interested in becoming a tenant-in-common in the case of default, making such titles relatively unmarketable. TIC owners through inheritance almost always liquidate by selling the property as a whole or, in the case of undeveloped land, through partition.

But in San Francisco TICs have become common alternatives to condominium conversions with real estate developers. The city caps the number of yearly condominium conversions, but has little ability to control private arrangements like TICs. It's so common that many local banks will issue mortgages for TIC shares, provided the proper contractual arrangements are in place to expedite recovery from deadbeat tenants-in-common. Taking ownership of a TIC share typically involves simultaneous execution of both a title transfer from the seller and contracts with each remaining TIC owner. (These contracts also effectively partition the property, as TIC owners otherwise have a right to access the entirety of the property, including your bedroom.)

The contracts tied to TIC arrangements do increase the costs and risks of litigation. If title passes to someone who doesn't enter the shared contract--say by inheritance--then you have a problem. (Presumably TIC contracts attempt to force maintenance of Wills or Trusts to prevent this from occurring.) So while banks here will issue mortgages the property values are discounted. But that means that TIC apartments also typically sell for substantially less than comparable condominiums, which translates to a smaller mortgage, making ownership more affordable. If you see a deal too good to be true in SF, assuming its legitimate it's probably a TIC.

Condominiums are designed to simplify this whole process, but in their absence you can hack together a substantially equivalent form. Interestingly, few property lawyers outside San Francisco would think of doing this. My Property Law professor, who was also the professor for my Land Use seminar, was surprised TICs were being used this way. So if you're outside San Francisco it may pay to inquire with an SF-based real estate developer or property attorney.

>have already hacked into Huawei internal emails and found nothing

That means nothing, even if today the Chinese intelligence services take absolutely no interest in penetrating Huawei - which is laughable - that can change. If five years from now Huawei 5G equipment is used to build your countries 5G network, the Chinese gov uses their equivalent of a NSL and it's game over.

Even if today's Huawei is clean.

That's the real threat model. And that's why the US threatened 5 eyes countries to take away their access if they use Huawei equipment.

I'm not sure how you'd even search for those, because deserialisation doesn't have an exact, common equivalent in C land. There are almost no cases of arbitrary/named types being constructed from arbitrary inputs at runtime. You have to take into account the really low prior probability for the counts to make sense.
As opposed to the world relying on, say, American equipment, because that would be better for all the countries' national security?

I definitely understand the argument but the hypocrisy is just too loud to put aside.
Dito. This thing must be boycotted
Yes, I did. My supervisor was quite old-school idealistic in that he believed that good work would rise to the top without playing political games. We were both a bit naive in that respect I think... and we've both had modest careers as a result. But I really enjoyed my PhD and greatly respected his integrity.

Other people in our department rose quickly and now have international reputations. But I couldn't treat people like they did and look myself in the mirror every day.

One other thing that greatly helped me in my PhD was the mutual support of fellow candidates. On my own I would probably have had a breakdown in my final year as the intensity of writing up alone must be intolerable. That is why I was shocked to read the comment above where a supervisor pitted candidates against each other: that is criminal in my view.
I get your jest, but as someone who struggles with depression and uses food as a coping mechanism, this is sadly not the case. My personal experiences also make me acutely aware of others in food courts who really aren’t enjoying the food they are consuming.
>Actual evidence of backdoors

There doesn't have to be a backdoor today. In the future, whenever they desire, the Chinese gov can ask Huawei for access and they will comply. That's the threat model.
Economic systems aren't built on benevolence. The reason the US has the economic system it does is because they believe it to be the most 'effective' system by various metrics. Incidentally that's the exact same reason that China has the system it does. As a comparable example the reason the founding fathers built freedom of speech deep into the US constitution was not because they liked people saying naughty or unpopular things, but because they felt that systems in which those in power could control what those out of power could say was counter-productive to building and maintaining a strong nation. We do these things not because they are 'good' but because they are optimal.

That's what makes this issue so interesting. On paper we've fully embraced globalism while China has embraced outward globalism and inward nationalism. In reality the US market is still completely dominated by US companies or by companies from 'friendly' nations. E.g. in smartphones South Korea and USA make up the vast majority of all sales.

But now 'unfriendly' nations are increasingly creating products that are becoming not only competitive but in some cases industry leading. So we find ourselves in the position of countries such as China. Do you allow companies from 'unfriendly' nations to setup and start on what may be a path to dominance, or do you give unfair preference to domestic/'friendly' products? We never had this issue before because final product competition from 'unfriendly' nations was negligible!

And this is before you get into all the intelligence intrigue going on behind the scenes. The NSA has stated they have access to "extensive, in-depth surveillance on live communications and stored information" [1] on the products of 'participating' companies including Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others. Suffice to say companies such as Huawei are less likely to 'participate' in such activities.

No that’s the same in the UK. You wouldn’t normally do both an MS (we’d call it a MSc) and PhD - you’d just get on and do the PhD.

And what’s more four years is the limit - the intention is three.

So in the UK most people go from zero to PhD in six years total, rather than ten or more in the US. And we still manage to get papers into top tier venues in that time so it doesn’t seem to be too short.

I know someone in Austria who got a great PhD in two years with multiple top-tier papers! That’s pretty extreme though.

Currently in the second year of a happy PhD in France.

Looking at other PhD-students around me I would say that those that have few results so far are indeed stressed, but clearly not to those levels, and that the main criteria for their well-being is the quality of their relation with their advisor (if you intend to do a PhD, pick your advisor carefully, you will work with him for the next three+ years of your life).

A factor might be that our PhD tend to be shorter (three years) and that students are paid and have no debts (at least for a PhD in science in France, those don't hold for other fields such as literature).

For me, it's always seemed a primarily American problem. Many of my close friends have done PhD's across Northern Europe also, and they say that while it's hard, they also say that they have a good support system around them.

Saying that though, I also know people in the UK doing PhD's, and they're having a horrible time. I think it's possibly a consequence heavily privatising education, and focus more on monetary profit over learning and inovation.
