Centralized planning has all the same weaknesses it always did. It's a problem of distributed analysis, not a lack of data points.

Italy was something of model for alleged central planning efficiency in the last century. Now it's broke, taking money from the next credit-binging central planning state. It's credit, not proof of either side having superior economic policy.
Is there any knowledge on why East Asian Tiger economies do so well with state backing ?

The major takeaway from the 'Princes of Yen' by Richard Werner is about how Japan soared from a destroyed country to an economic powerhouse, before being brought down by the bankers at the BOJ, ostensibly to change the system from a 'state backed economy' to a US-styled one. Ditto with the Asian tigers in Thailand, S Korea etc.

Such managed-economies have failed miserably in many other places - notably in India. China seems to be following the path of its neighbors, however.

On a meta-level, I don't see what the big deal is TBH - whatever floats ones boat eh ? The argument about 'unfairness' is a bit of a joke, since it is well known that there are very deep (albeit hidden) connections/interests b/w state and corporations in Western nations.
>However, in the age of instant global communications, it may be that effective central planning is "better," or at least possible.

And I will add one more thing other than instant global communication. Big Data. You can now have Data Real Time and see the Trend and changes being plotted in real time as well.

I also don't know what is the difference between Central Planning and Keynesian.

Russian spelling is mostly phonetic. It tries to keep the idea of spelling that word is a program for sound making machine, which knows nothing about pronunciation of a particular word, just follow simple rules for interpreting letters.

As I understand, Spanish is much like this, it keeps spelling simple. If so, then there are nothing surprising that transliteration from cyrillic into latin make sense from Spanish point of view.

It seems to be China "invading" countries to gain territory only in a roundabout way. Like the Godfather China made an offer that couldn't be refused.
Please check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP) where the World Bank, IMF and the CIA, they all agree China is on top now. But I'm truly impressed how that fact seems to offend people here based on the downvotes these replies get.

I was kind of shocked that they discontinued their WordPress integration. I get the feeling they want their customers to be completely dependent upon Shopify, which is part of why I avoid them when possible.
If we are individualistic, then why do we organize ourselves into communities instead of living as lone wolves?

The truth is that humans are social creatures that prefer the company and support of other humans. The way we spread around the globe as hunter gatherers was through cooperation and mutual support. A lone wolf cannot support themselves if they are hurt, or sick, or lack a skill, or simply didn’t save enough food in hard times. But a community can.

So, I don’t think our nature is individualistic so much as capitalism is individualistic.
That seems to be someone asking for a back-end change to prevent such queries, not a front-end change.

It has always made me curious reading about founder posts scaling to 100s of Ks in MRR over a period of fewer than 2 years.

I run a Graphic Design + Web Development agency on subscriptions (http://draftss.com). We are soon going to complete 1 year of inception and the highest we were able to reach in a particular month was $8k MRR. I co-founded Draftss after quitting a full-time job in an altogether different domain and hence no relevant network of possible users.

It makes me wonder that;
is it the case where you need to burn investment via Ads and then optimize the ad spends for returns?

Is there a secret community of buyers that is hidden away from new founders?

I don't understand what you think there is to ponder deeply here.

A fridge body is a pure insulator so the answer has to be white. Also it barely matters because convection will cool the surface anyway. Super straightforward with no math to do or conflict to resolve, unless I'm missing something.
This explains the appeal of RiffTrax and collaborative cult films like the Room.
Funny how we have two fresh accounts posting in this discussion, one of which insists that the study authors must have an "agenda", and another of which gives an "aside" that exploitative slumlords "are almost all involved with (((close-knit religious groups)))".

Sounds like the ruling class is a bit agitated that we're noticing what's going on, and wants to misdirect our attention.

As long as the door opens vertically (vs being the lid on a trunk like a deep freezer) it doesn’t much matter. Refrigerators really need to recover cold air more than focus on absolute perfect insulation.

I’ve always thought that we should just all move to the refrigerator-as-a-bunch-of-independent-drawers design. I think it would be easier to browse efficiently and easier to design a kitchen around.

Also, this deal is an entry in the EU which I really dislike. I hope the EU will step up it's game against china, too bad that our normal partner currently has an unstable leader. While XI is without a doubt a hard-working leader. Unfortunate, I do not approve their world vision, at all.
Centralized planning works if leaders are "right" about things, and have a certain measure of benevolence. Many East Asian economies (Singapore, South Korea, China, Taiwan, etc.) had dictators that did the "right" thing and brought about huge economic growth.

However, centralized planning has one fatal evolutionary flaw -- any errors from the top are amplified. The biggest example of this was China closing its ports in the 1400s following imperial decree, which started China's long path to civilizational decline because it cut off trade and new ideas. (China's thinking was: we're big and diverse enough internally -- we don't need no one else. This kind of insularity always brings about downfall.)

In Europe, because there wasn't a single monolithic power but instead many independent jurisdictions, as a whole it was more robust to errors. When a certain nation-state was on the rise, another declined, but overall there was progress. There were many golden ages, e.g. Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and English, and they each had their time in the sun. Europe as a whole progressed.

Centralized planning is always more efficient; but if the leaders get it wrong, errors can be catastrophic.

Decentralized/democratic systems are always less efficient; but are ultimately more robust to changing environments and errors in the system. They are self-correcting to some extent.

Many successful countries start out with centralized systems, and often transition to decentralized/democratic systems (often not without some upheaval). The United States (and a few other countries) are unique in the sense that they started with a democratic ideal, but as far as I can tell they are exceptions to the norm.

most of the removed css isnt necessarily useless globally, it's just useless in context. eg a shared bootstrap css grid will be pruned differently on different pages, but there's no single "suggestion" that can be used to modify that shared initial grid.

for css that's leftover by accident that should actually be removed from the source, i agree. but how will you discern the first scenario from the second?
I released a puzzle game on the Microsoft Store last year. I have to admit I had fairly modest expectations from this platform -- I was also releasing my game on a couple of other platforms and I did not expect many sales from the Microsoft Store in particular. It turned out to be a great choice -- they briefly featured our game, but even if you ignore the sales from that period, the Microsoft store has accounted for about 70% of our sales overall. I've also found their payout system to be really straightforward and easy to work with compared to some other large platforms.

The whole process was reasonably straightforward. It was a bit of a pain getting the build properly set up, removing certain incompatible API calls and getting all the icon files and all the other little settings and details in the exact configuration that the system expected so the store would accept the product. But it's probably about as much of a pain as building something through XCode and uploading to Apple's store.

The game I made is called Omnicube, link here for anyone who'd like to check it out: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/omnicube/9njcwkrx4mmh
I would imagine that most people would find it easier to not start travelling than to give up meat: but the most likely outcome is that they will do neither. Because all this will be solved by flying nuclear cars which will be the only transport used by the people that have not emigrated to Mars.
That’s not really how any of this works—you can’t simply throw a bunch of unrelated data at some algorithms and expect usable output. (There’s also no such thing as “deep learning”.)

Law enforcement and related organizations already use machine learning quite a bit, particularly for image enhancement. Yes, Google does have a lot of images of various locations from a top-down perspective, but that isn’t helpful for accurately determining a location from the images that Europol collects.

Also, keep in mind that Europol is only posting images here when all other means of determining location and identity have been exhausted. The images are usually indoors and don’t contain enough information for ML to be of any significant use. You might be able to narrow it down to a probably country based colors and design patterns, but that’s hardly sufficient and not solid enough evidence to actually do anything.

My determination is:

Do I want this state to survive a page reload, new browser session, or coming from a bookmark?

The value in a drop-down box in some random form? Non-global state.

The main page active tab that they were probably reading? Global state.

Scroll position? Global.

Tooltip Position? Probably not useful, non-global.

Something like a dialog or modal depends on the situation of how important it was and if the user would expect it to be there.
A reusable process to build meaningful projects
Well, if you were sitting down you'd be better off with a gaming laptop. (Unless you want the backpack for the gargoyle chic of course ... ;) ) As Quest is an Android-ish mobile device, I assume it's not a great development platform even if you choose to sideload things. You'd probably want to use the Rift S or one of the high-end WinMR HMDs plugged into a Windows laptop. (Only Valve's SteamVR is supported on Linux, but there's no SteamVR HMD with markerless inside-out tracking out there yet. You could use a Rift and clamp a SteamVR Tracking base station to your table, if it's stable enough, using a battery pack to power it. That would be so Linux-on-the-desktop, in more ways than one.)

But then you'd run into the big (and hard-to-fix) limitation of first-gen VR, the very low pixel density compared to conventional displays, which is a particular problem when you're working with text. It's a problem with is partly compensated for by the unlimited virtual screen size that VR gives you, especially in comparison to the small and awkwardly-placed screens you're often stuck with in a mobile context. So you could certainly give it a go, especially if you get one of the highest-res WinMR headsets, but on balance the laptop screen would probably still be more practical for coding today.
Kickstarter could probably benefit from more slowness and processes. There have been loads of scams on that platform. Unionized workforces can either help or hinder a particular company's business model for a particular duration, you are making wide sweeping generalizations across all businesses. You are also "West Coastal" signaling as though everything on the West Coast is a Utopia while the Midwest is backward, which...what is the Midwest anyway? Which states constitute the Midwest and why are we to assume that invalidates companies there, are there zero successful companies in the midwest with unions? You also mention police being mostly white attributable to unions only...what is the connection there?
I actually found this presentation (and the blog post as well) quite interesting. If possible, it would be awesome for foreign people if you talked just a little bit slower: Not much, just a bit. I think you have excellent enunciation, which helps a lot already.

Nobody charged the EPA with ensuring adherence to some made up test cycle, but to the emission limits. If the test cycle is your approximation of real world behavior, it is highly negligent to never confirm that real world results actually match the approximation! This is science 101.

> The data captured on behalf of our merchants belongs to those merchants, it’s as simple as that.

No, it doesn't. It's the end users data.

> and this isn’t possible when Mailchimp locks in their data

Complaints about lock-in from you is pretty rich.

> Mailchimp refuses to synchronize customer information captured on merchants’ online stores and email opt-out preferences.

You're intentionally misleading the reader here. This isn't about opt out preferences. That's just a useful excuse.

Any idiot can see you're trying to build up a complete picture about user's spanning across stores.

This isn't about your customers, this is about you wanting to push mailchimp out.
by 'style rules' do you mean selectors or properties/values?
Another way to put it selectors are a particular view of the data that's in the store.
Hi, I'm the author and that means a lot to read! It's been a labour of love going back and forth on rewrites and ideas for about six months so it'll mean the world to me if it ends up being something people enjoy using some day.

The tool is, like all tools, designed around my preferences and opinions, it definitely won't align with everyone but I hope there's some good ideas in there.

There's no traditional REPL, there's a log buffer that has results appended to it. You can edit that buffer (which happens to be a .cljc file) and evaluate anything in there like you would in any buffer.

The log buffer appears, expands and hides when required. I've tried to keep it out of the way when you're not using it but persistent and accessible when you need it. I definitely want to experiment with Neovim's floating window API and the "virtual text" API too.
Unless you have code that depends on state that supposed to be kept UI-only.

Then when you expand to an API or CLI interface the web state being tracked no longer makes sense and might be extra ram or loading time.
Having read "Evicted" - the book positively mentioned in the article - I came to understand how difficult it was to be a landlord in LCOL areas. The effort required to evict or collect on non-paying tenants made it a full time job with significant costs associated (psychological and financial).

The article did not make mention of this in it's accounting of "profit."

"Creepy" seems judgmental.

Many (most? all?) single, heterosexual men are somewhat preoccupied with how to be attractive to women (the reverse is also true). Is this news to you?

I also have a negative reaction to you speculating about how "bleak" his life is. I see this project as an attempt at absolute honesty. And if we're being honest, doesn't everyone's life contain a fair amount of bleakness? We all have insecurities. We all suffer tragedies. We're all wrong about various things. Your comment seems basically uncharitable.

I wouldn't attempt to be honest about "everything I know" publicly, on the internet. But I think a little charity is in order towards those who do make that attempt.

I believe you're right that the truth is in the middle. It really points to the pilots being inadequately trained on this aircraft. Boeing strongly pushed to avoid requiring new pilot training for the MAX airplane. They claimed that MAX was similar enough to the previous version of the 737 that if a pilot were checked out on the previous plane they were good to go. What we're seeing now is that assessment was wrong. More training should have been required.

Boeing fucked up big time on this one. FAA also fucked up. Pilots were inadequately trained, and some delivered info was false (Boeing said MCAS could only bring the nose down 0.6 degrees, in fact, it was unbounded)

The MCAS system was designated "hazardous" by Boeing in their own safety assessment. A system that is labeled hazardous can not be reliant on a single system failure. MCAS is reliant on a single sensor. That's already a major error in the safety analyses. As we can clearly see from two accidents, MCAS system should have been designated "catastrophic", one step more dangerous in that scale, with even more stringent redundancy requirements.

Thank you for addressing my concern with the claim. My immediate thought on the article title is that low income properties come with a host of extra work and risks that "higher class" areas do not have, and the higher margin on paper is the market's reflection of this fact.

I am an aspiring real estate investor and of course have considered low income properties. The forums online are chock full of the same question and the resounding response is "Yes, on paper you can make more money, if $bad_thing doesn't happen -- e.g. $bad_thing { a, b, c, d, e ... z } happened to me or someone I know and they actually lost money over 5yr. Good luck!"
