The article makes sense from a professionals perspective I guess, but where it falls flat is in 'non professional'. Whatever that means.

What killed a lot of mining jobs was shifting to automation and cleaner energy. What killed US manufacturing was profiteering. Whenever someone says they can't compete at a global scale with us labor, all I hear is they can't afford to pay a living wage and buy this years nicest mega yacht. Plenty of companies still exist in the us that not only compete but dominate the competition in quality, and pay a living wage. Bobs red mill comes to mind. So does Tesla.
Maybe there ought to be a robocall service for ~anonymously targeting the callback numbers provided in robocalls. Many years ago, I setup an autodialer to hit an 800 number provided by a persistent robocaller. And pretty soon, they stopped calling me.

Have a look at Mondragon Cooperatives. It's a real life large scale implementation of Woker-owned Cooperatives. Not perfect but it does show a lot of the good possibilities.

Back in 2008 when the regular Capitalism crash happens where we plebs payed capitalists:

Mondragon: Spain's giant co-operative where times are hard but few go bust:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/07/mondragon-spai...

TL;DR of this article - Workers of Mondragon's Washing Machine factory got redundant due to recession lowering demand for their products. Instead of lay-offs, they compensated by lowering wages of managers (note that they have a rule where there is a max ratio of salary from lowest salary). Then offered these workers to retrain for free with commute allowance. Or offered early retirement with complete benefits and cash out their ownership.

Capitalism doesn't just take a huge cut in what we deserve. But has also stripped us of our humanity.

Yes. This is very common practice for enterprise software: price on value, not on cost, which means adjusting the price based on the user and their particular needs and pains.
Sorry to hear you've had troubles in React community! Do you have any examples of places where people haven't been polite or helpful? Your feedback is appreciated.
For some people cost of owning – property tax, various services is not a big deal. Also, in some places property rises in prices just by itself (like in San Francisco), you just have to wait.

Sometimes people lose money, but at the end of the day they can sign a good deal on it (let's say couple of years), and it will compensate their losses extensively. But they will have this "ready immediately" sign all this time.

This. And all of the third party camera solutions for TX2 cost $500+ when equivalent USB cameras with the same sensor cost $50. They really need to get their act together and sell some NVIDIA-sanctioned camera solutions at scale, and at price points similar to Raspberry Pi cameras.

A lot of third party carrier boards also have a complete sh_tshow of connectors. Auvidea's boards, for example, ship with a Raspberry Pi camera connector, but Raspberry Pi NoIR cameras don't have TX2 drivers, and there are hardly any other cameras that ship with that connector.

Seriously, NVIDIA: Please sell a TX2 devkit that has six non-weird 2-lane CSI connectors and some IMX290 or AR0521 or any other commonly-used robotics sensors for $100 each that plug in and "just work". It would make a lot of people happy to have something to at least start with, and pave the way for third party options to follow the same form factor, connectors, pinouts, board sizes, and so forth.

I think we woefully underestimate the amount and kinds of absurdity our governments get up to for counterintelligence purposes.
No, because the FDA doesn’t have the resources to actually redo a trial.

What they do is ask the manufacturer to lay out how they run the trial before they start.

If you bring data back to the FDA that doesn’t match up (fewer patients, different measurements) you can expect a rejection.

Either they are "unsuccessful" and "leeching of social benefits" or they are "successful" and "are stealing their jobs". It is a nationalist catch-22 were there are no successful immigrants, just insecure nationalists that feel disposable and in the process of "being replaced".

As someone who used psychedelics as a teenager and later as an adult cured myself of schizo/bipolar using MDMA and mushrooms, I’d say that being older is nothing to fear.

You are wiser, more mature and the smartest you’ve ever been.

Psychedelics as an adult is so much more enjoyable when done responsibily.
Problem is, every “tweak” of the market causes ramifications, often unintended.

A great example is rent control. Sure it helps current tenants, but it distorts the rental market such that it disincentivizes putting new homes on the market, and the exact opposite of what you want - higher rents.
You seem to know what you're talking about. Would love to share our vision with you. Any way I can reach out to you?

Growing Coding Mentorship Seeking Tips on Credibility

> you offer an absurdly high MSRP then offer discounts

Which is amazing. It's probably a lack of experience in B2B, but I tend to see prices as "take it or leave it", so if I see an absurly high price I go "Aight, that's a no", instead of trying to haggle.

It's just so inefficient having to haggle with every vendor to get real prices for a comparison.

Is the sales process anything else than just a huge money sink?
I started out in SPA development a little over 3 years ago. Before that I was very inexperienced with front-end development, and we used ASP.NET MVC with JQuery sprinkled around.

I realized that this was going to be a spaghetti nightmare, so decided that I had to choose a real front-end framework.

At that time, Angular 2 was in a alpha,pre-alpha state, React (JSX) seemed to weird, I didn't know anything about Vue, so I chose Aurelia.

At that time Aurelia was going to be the next big thing, but I believe there was a series of technical missteps with Aurelia and I saw that it wasn't going to go anywhere, so changed direction to React.

By the time I started with React, I had months of front-end development under my belt, so I felt more comfortable with it. It had/has a large community with plenty of resources, but I started running into problems with the whole a-la-carte nature of the React ecosystem.

At first, I used a little Mobx for state management, but at that time I had what would be considered several mini-SPA as I was migrating away from server side MVC. After a while I decided to migrate to Redux since that seemed to be the canonical state management solution for React.

Redux turned out to be a productivity nightmare. Redux has its own ecosystem of libraries - Redux Promise, Redux Saga, Redux Forms, etc..The whole complexity was turning me off. Not only that, but other 3rd party libraries like React Router was a big bummer. There is 15 viable styling solutions in the React ecosystem, and the ones I played around with me just didn't stick, but I could deal with the styling issue.

But Redux was just killing me in terms of productivity. There were small abstraction libraries over Redux, but I didn't feel comfortable enough with their small communities to make the leap. Eventually, I moved to Mobx State Tree. I thought that would be the holy grail. I ran into known huge performance issues with Mobx State Tree. That along with some of the leadership issues I had with the project was the final straw for me. I made the tough decision to rewrite everything in Vue.

And I can't be happier with that decision. Vue just seems to have been developed with the number one goal of being productive in mind. Vuex is mostly a joy to work with. I love the built-in SCSS, scoped, etc styling mechanism. The community is great. I'm happy with my decision.

Recent React has made some good strides with Hooks and Context. I'll have to take a look at using React in another project down the road. And I do have an affinity towards JSX, even though right now I don't use it in Vue (which supports it).

And I think things like supporting JSX and more than one way to do thing in the Vue world is its greatest strength. If you don't like the "stringy" of template directives, then you can use JSX, you can write classes or you can write object style components.

I look forward to Vue 3.0 and being able to drop legacy browser support so we don't have to use vue.set and friends because of reactivity issues.

Lots of people do this and there's nothing wrong with it, but I think it's best to have up front pricing rather than "contact for quote".

One way to do it is have the Enterprise version have a few more features that are unlikely to be of interest to small companies or individuals.

Another is just to say the company size on your pricing page. If your company has 500+ employees it's $5000, if 1 person it's $50, if 2-10, it's $200, if 11-499 it's $1000 - or whatever.

Can also have per user, say $100 per user, but a single location site wide license for $1000, or a global site license covering all branches for $20000.

Or whatever prices you like. Look around and you'll find tons of companies offering each kinds of licensing.
My vision of the future of technology is one where old technology is reused, and recycled. I wouldn't mind using repurposed 50 year old storage devices if they still work. I would love to see interface tech that allows me to use 30 year old salvaged monitors.

From a software perspective, I would imaging that computers would do a lot more to help validate the intentions of human programmers and that computers will do a lot of the programming themselves.

I would like to see almost all tech powered by renewable sources.

Material science - plastic and other horrible materials should be done away with. I actually think we have gone backwards with respect to materials producing virtually indestructible waste material that poisons our water and air.
in a very wealth neighborhood of Honolulu, think where the average home is 4-5+ Million USD, a japanese owner of many houses 20+ wanted to build a gallery for his art. the wealthy neighbors didnt want it so what he did instead was rent all of his houses to low income hawaiians and put the art out on one of his vacant lots. they were mainly weird statues. naked greek gods etc. Just goes to show what people can do when sufficiently motivated.

I think it is a consequence of globalization. I don't have any statistics to prove it, but I think that people in general are not very keen to dig very deep, therefore everybody knows about certain number of "cool" cities, which everybody travels to and tries to move.

So, all popular big cities experience this influx of people moving there; expats have more and more options nowadays, so they also move to only cool places, therefore, it creates this problem. Not only it raises rents, expats can bump them a lot! They earn a lot of money, so for them extra $100 is not a big problem.

And urbanism – I guess more and more people move to cities nowadays, so it brings even more people who want to live there. Nobody really wants to live in the outskirts (unless it is USA), so major hubs, subway stations, downtown gets huge demand.

I'm wondering if this is how the world is going. Compromise on something or you won't get service. (my peeve is compromise on privacy to participate)

On one hand, a friend of mine runs a contracting business has told me that the people who put down a substantial deposit are good customers. The ones who want to pay nothing up front are the ones who cause trouble at payment time.

I kind of thought the price of the meal was what kept things exclusive, but not actually excluding people via tactics like this.
At what proportion is an impact "disproportionate"?
In here are two reasons[1].

Another is this: a building nearly full rented has an easily calculable valuable based on its income. A building with a higher price but not trying to rent can, incredibly, claim to have a higher value. Especially if there are several building nearby claiming the same value.

If there is a debt associated with the building, it is especially in the owner's interest to keeping the supposed value of the building high even if they are loosing revenue at the moment.

If a few organizations own a large number of units they can strongly influence a market both of rental rates and building values by doing this. Undoubtedly to a net profit or they wouldn't be doing it.

Correlation or causation?
It's Nvidia, so you have to decide whether you want to give ANY money at all to a company that ships binary blobs or not (whether or not this individual product uses them). I'm sure there are product teams at Nvidia that ship "open" products but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to support the good parts of a corporation while neglecting the parts that ship closed binary blobs.
This might sound like a dismissive question, so I should say upfront that I don't mean it to be. I'm truly curious and not overly familiar with this technology. With that said...

> I still haven't started to list all the problems that airbnb tenants bring to the building.

It might be crazy, yeah. I guess buildings receive "abuse" in the same way as rental cars get more abuse, except that here regular tenants suffer.
This is a great point, having an open mind to these sort of things is very important. You never know what sort of things could come of experiments if they aren't done or pushed aside. Especially with the more widespread knowledge of the capability of psychedelics to change your mind. To ignore this avenue of very new and oft-misunderstood science would just be, to put it bluntly, ignorant.
Hey! I work at Stripe on Sorbet. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed any announcement. Stripe is still very much committed to Sorbet; it’s used by hundreds of engineers every day to catch bugs and increase developer productivity. We’re currently hard at work polishing Sorbet to make it mature enough for people to use outside of Stripe. It’s not quite ready yet, but if you email sorbet@stripe.com we’ll have your email address so we can let you know when we do have something worth announcing.

Thanks for the interest in Sorbet!
The #1 reason for me was how easy it was to pick up vue and start building something quickly. Which probably just has to do with my own background experience working with knockout and html/css/js. It's an easier stepping stone, a more natural progression for me.

I think it'd be a lot easier to pick up react now that I'm proficient with Vue.

Would be interesting to see what CO2 levels look like in office buildings throughout the year. In the middle of summer and winter, more makeup air coming in from outside raises HVAC costs. I don’t know what industry practices are for large scale HVAC but if there’s a way to save money I’m guessing there are cases where building managers will cut the margins thin.
Bingo! And it works two ways.

The far-fetched worst case scenario is that this actually works, and that some enemy figures that out first.

By the time things have been reduced to "best practices" the intellectual rush of discovery has been cooked out. If you a still fishing for best practices: experiment, make mistakes, fix, learn how things work, run tests, try things that make sense first, talk through problems with smart friends, and enjoy the fruits of discovery. It is often helpful to find a mentor, someone who can help structure the search for "best practices" and who will give advice.
