First off, it's a neat idea and it extrapolates well to other domains. I'd love to have "random x definition" when I open a new tab--would ensure I at least get some learning done while procrastinating on the web.

On a less positive note, and tangentially related:

I'm kind of sick of the whole "bias" obsession. It's everyone's go-to counterargument these days, and it's a shallow, poorly developed one. It's like everyone's lost critical reasoning skills, which require delicate attention to the particular strategies and propositions deployed in a given argument, and found these set of stock biases to use instead. In fact it's impossible to purge an argument or line of thinking of all so-called biases (though these don't actually exist in arguments, they are deduced from arguments)--if it were, it wouldn't be an argument or thought.

The goal of catching our own mistakes is an admirable one, and I'm not advocating people stop doing that--I just think it too frequently bleeds into trying to find so-called biases in arguments (whether written or verbal). In fact, this is more or less a fool's errand. What people are actually trying to point out in arguments are logical fallacies which are traits of the argument. Biases contrarily occur at the individual level and are operational flaws, they only occur during the thought process, and it's only meaningful to talk about them in these terms (that is, as they manifest in the ongoing practices of a person)--they are not properties of a line of thought's encoding (the written or spoken argument). Fallacies or viewpoints expressed in an argument may hint at the biases of the author, but it's a non-sequitur to start talking about them (when critiquing an argument), as the only way one could actually confirm this is by observing the author at work in daily life. To say, such an such an author is biased, is useless. It doesn't contribute meaningfully to a critique of the argument, and it would need to be verified through observation of the author.

Demonstrating to someone that they have developed/fall prey to particular bias frequently and working to rectify that one-on-one is a totally different story, or trying to catch biases operating in yourself is a totally different story.

Edit: I suppose you could say I'm biased against biases. A joke that illustrates my point.
The claim I was responding to was that people should be able to do "whatever they want" with their properties, which encompasses a lot more than just leaving them vacant.

But to answer your specific question, the most obvious negative externality is increased rents for other people, because an apartment that could be being rented out (increasing supply) isn't being rented out.

Having lots of vacant residences also potentially increases crime, is bad for neighborhood maintenance (we have a huge problem here in NYC of sidewalks not being shoveled in front of vacant properties when it snows), it gives pests a potential home, and increases the potential to damage surrounding residences. Vacant residences are more likely to fall under disrepair and then catch on fire or start leaks, which can damage nearby or underneath residences. If you're touching one then it's bad for your heating/AC bills, because your heat/cold is sapping through the walls into the un-conditioned apartment. Even just simple things like having fewer eyes to watch out for crime and call the police if a burglar or robber is spotted.

There's a huge host of problems associated with having long-term vacant residences in your neighborhood.
Of the big 3 frameworks (vue angular react) vue feels to me the most like what HTML custom components should be

I could see vue-like syntax and features supported natively in the browser in a utopian future; have never felt that way about react or the ancient version of angular I had to touch.

Loneliness sucks...but at the same time at the point where you decide you’ve had enough of it and you realize you have the power to do something about it, it becomes a tremendous motivator.

Loneliness is curable, but requires effort.

Most Enterprise vendors work that way but it always leaves a bad taste with me. When given the choice I will always go with a vendor who has clear and transparent pricing.

But realistically there is probably more money made in hiding prices and haggling a lot. Just be aware that the sales cycle will be much longer.
My concerns generally revolve around the situation where users find out they've been charged different prices.

As a React developer I have yet to hear a compelling reason to use Vue. Most of the time it seems like the Vue defender was just looking for the next hot thing and would have used literally anything else, didn’t understand that React is just a library and conflated it with the React ecosystem, or couldn’t wrap their head around FRP. From a business standpoint I can’t understand why you’d put anything on Vue unless their was a long list of extremely compelling reasons to not use the larger, battle tested React ecosystem.
Yes, a policy that every commit must reference an issue in the tracker is useful. It makes it possible to cross reference the history of the codebase with the discussions that occurred around it and the reasons for the changes in greater depth than a commit message could cover.

I find the one commit per issue policy too restrictive. It’s a terrible idea for larger projects and IMO unnecessary even for smallish fixes. But then, I’m also someone who strongly dislikes linear histories.
Apparently in Europe you're the customer. However on this side of the Atlantic we're the product. Big difference.

Very interesting idea with great potential. I'm sure you will iron out the problems because the demand is certainly there. May I ask what your tech stack is for the app and also are you going to develop a web app and what will be the tech stack for that? Or is a web app seen as unimportant?
The current plan is to ship the basic model first, then add things like modems if the reception supports the development effort.

So far it looks like most people want 4G, even though it's quite expensive to add. I think too many marketing dollars have been spent convincing consumers that's what they need, so we may end up doing 4G before others. But you're right, 2G (or 3G) would both be cheaper and probably all you need for a dumb phone.

The nice thing, though, is unlike most phones it should be pretty easy for anyone with electronics skills to make a daughterboard that expands the phone hardware capabilities.
"The price total of the acquisition is about $166 million, with $154 million in cash and the remainder in restricted shares."

Is it normal to have nearly the entirety of the acquisition be cash? I would have assumed the standard would be shares with a new vesting schedule to incentivize the founders to stay on board. To my uneducated self, this seems like the founders can basically immediately walk away with very little money left on the table.

> I like Rust but it really irks me when people pretend it is as easy as C++. It isn't. It is much harder

No it's not.

"hard" is not single dimensional.

"hard" to write your first hello world? No, both are easy.

"harder" to write your first moderately-sized program that basically works? Yes, for almost everyone. You'll fight the borrow checker. The learning curve is real.

"harder" to write your first large/medium, correct program? Definitely not. The safety will save you, here. It's not just memory. It's no nulls, it's no exceptions, pattern matching exhaustion enforcement, baton-passing session type patterns, race-freedom, and so on. The "it compiles, it works" dynamic is akin to OCaml/SML, if you've used those at all. Except it's even better because you get prompt resource finalization.

"harder" to write your nth program after ~6 months of usage? Not by a long shot. Rust is actually an incredibly expressive language. Once you learn to shape code the way the language expects, you'd be shocked at how productive you are. It's in the same ballpark as go, perhaps a little better if you're doing something nontrivial due to the power of generic libraries.

I spend almost no time "fighting" the borrow checker, as do most ramped-up Rust programmers. It's pretty much all win at this point. It's a different category of language than C(++). It actually gets a little exhausting hearing people talk about how hard the borrow checker when folks have barely used the language.

These days, the only time I'll use a GC is if I'm writing something _very_ fast and short in Python. An experiment, a prototype, or a tool. A short REPL session. I really do not miss GCs otherwise.

But yes, compile times are somewhat slow. If you go template crazy in C++, you'll be in the same ballpark. But the "equivalent" C codebase will smoke it.
It's been a few years since I checked in with Angular because the projects I worked on were distinctively unpleasant, so what I'm about to say may not be current. But at the time, the wide variation in project structure (and available opinionated approaches) and libraries/tooling of questionable support were definitely part of the problem (though certainly not the full extent).

Battle of Supremes: How 'legal fakes' are challenging a $1B brand [video]
The alternate reality that is the internet is a huge emerging social issue.

I have to say right off the bat, I'm not in favor of governments or big corporations being gatekeepers of what is allowed to be on the internet (moral hazard).

At the same time, views not in accordance with actual history (or indeed with reality) propagate at an amazing pace and certain subgroups readily embrace them as reality.

In case of shooter (reading his manifesto), he has a juvenile and one dimensional view of "white history" and "white culture" which fails to understand or account for movements of ideas and culture, and fallaciously lumps everyone of a certain skin tone into one cultural group. I have no doubt this view, fanciful as it is, was echoed by his fellows until it became absolute truth in his mind.

It is a problem, and not just for white supremacist types and radical Islamists either. Not sure the best solution or if there even is one.

The summary article is somewhat vague on the actual result. It seems to imply that villages were in or out of the control group en-masse but doesn't explicitly say so:

> For the 18-week study researchers recruited 2,700 people, including 590 children, across eight villages with half in the treatment group receiving a dose of ivermectin every three weeks.

> Regular visits from nurses were used to assess children for malaria symptoms and confirmed with a blood test and it found twice as many children in the treatment group had no malaria attacks.

> In all there were an average of 2 malaria attacks per child in the treatment group compared to 2.49 in the control villages, without any additional harmful side effects.
It also works much better with version control software (git). Not only does it help with diffs, as the article mention, but it makes merging way easier in case you and your coauthor change two adjacent sentences at the same time.
Lol Nunes. Ugh.
Sugar really is something else.

I used to drink one of those 99c tall cans of Arizona iced tea pretty much every day.

For context, I quit smoking cold turkey (1 pack a day) with no vaping in between or any type of patches or help. I just said "I'm done" and that was it. Truthfully, I found quitting smoking pretty easy because deep down I wanted to quit. That was 8ish years ago and I never touched one since or even had the urge to smoke again. The smell alone is revolting to me.

About 9 months ago I quit drinking those stupid cans of iced tea, but then after about 2 months I thought to myself "well, if I reward myself once a week with one that might not be too bad". So that worked for about 2 weeks, and then once a week became twice a week, and before you know it I was back in a rut of my brain saying "psssst, go drink a can" every day and it became a distraction.

Will power and determination are some of biggest strengths but sugar cut right through it. Since then I quit again and I'm sure I'll never drink another one again but I wanted to share this for anyone who might be in the same boat as I was. Those drinks will drain you of energy and get you addicted but if you can power through it, it doesn't take long to break out of it. Couple days should do it. I can't even put in words at how much better I feel mentally.
If you want to conceptualize just how terrible the loss of fifty people is, imagine this story happening to somebody you know. It doesn't matter who, just pick somebody. Then pick another person, and then another, and another, until you've got dozens.

It will probably be overwhelming by the time you hit ten people (and probably not a useful exercise to continue past that), but does it help to conceptualize it.

> "I believe this is a public perception problem."

I see it differently. The problem isn't the public. The public has actually done a commendable job sensing what's been going on. It's not fair - however unintentional - to tie the public to the problem. It's bad enough Science keep denouncing the public, when it's Science who has mucked up it's own reputation. The pubic is a mirror.

Science, much like journalism, has been drinking too much of its own Kool Aid. It has forgotten it can't just talk, but it needs to walk that talk, as well.

Science would also be wise to show some humility and admit when it's gotten something less than perfect. Yes, that is part of the process. Does Science understand that? Instead, it just sweeps those aside and keeps self-professing it's eternal greatness, and how we should bow our heads, etc.

Bill Nye? Neil deGrasse Tyson? These are the face of Science? Me thinks they got the wrong end. They are doing more harm than good.

the pricepoint is good, relative to the jetson tx1/2 (299-749 usd) and xavier (1099 usd).

some of my notes, there is a massive heatsink on this thing, probably for both the a57 cpu and maxwell gpu, this will make your case a bit larger than say the rpi.

not sure how the a57 compares to rpi’s a53, i assume both are armv8, quad-core.

the inputs seem identical to rpi 3 model b+, hdmi, ethernet, 4 usb (seems 2.0), mini usb, there’s also an additional usb looking port on top of hdmi.

storage seems the same as rpi, except that it’s built in 16G mmc flash whereas rpi you need to separately plugin a microsd card.

overall this has potential if you need to do more gpu intensive work, i like the form factor.

I don't think of the NPC meme as especially harmful. Although I don't propagate this meme, I think it's an interesting way of poking fun at people who truly don't think critically about their opinions and sort of absorb opinions by osmosis from the media. I think a strategy of poking fun at people who don't think critically might be one of several possibly useful ways to change that trend. The NPC meme also seems like a possibly useful way to psychologically deal with the fact that there are many people whose minds simply cannot be changed no matter how rationally you try to explain your perspective.

As with any idea, the danger is in misapplication. For example, if someone simply stops trying to change others' minds when it's really still possible but the NPC meme causes them to ignore that possibility, then it doesn't help improve the world. Or if a misguided individual who doesn't distinguish meme from reality uses it to dehumanize people in their mind, then that's a problem.
To just toss ideas I changed my resume to be experience vs projects over work vs ‘personal’ (which could be undermining if one has significant project experience), where the experiences have multiple strong points and the projects are short descriptions. Take account importance of each item to you and recency for order. Millions of downloads is a great metric (github stars lingo is ‘meh)

Assuming you have put lot of commitment or hard work in it maybe there’s more to talk about :p. I personally have personal projects I rate higher than previous employment experience so this isn’t applicable to everyone.
