A LOT of people are talking about and planning on this exact strategy. It’s for that reason that I agree with you - I think it’s going to look a lot like that NYE a year after Uber had the $300 surge price fares and all the drivers started counting all their money in advance - “Oh man I’m gonna make so much when prices shoot up at New Year’s again!” Then of course there was a ton of driver supply and prices didn’t go anywhere.

Everyone is talking about the “easy money” of selling a home as soon as “all those new millionaires are willing to pay top dollar for a new home”.

The problem with this plan is threefold: First, the basic supply and demand rules. Second, all the people selling homes are going to need to live somewhere else, right? So they too are going to have to pay an inflated price for a new home, which will eliminate any gains (the exception is if you own a home in SF and are planning on either leaving town or majorly downsizing). Third, just because someone is newly wealthy doesn’t mean they suddenly decide that paying 20, 30, 40% more for a home is rational. Many folks will keep renting or stay in their current homes if there’s a sudden rush to buy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if prices tick down a bit in 6-12 months from the oversupply before continuing on their regular scheduled steady march upward :)

I didn’t downvote the comment, but it is nearly off-topic and seems uninformed as a bill wouldn’t be written to just do either of those things.

The funniest part about the enthusiasm for React masochism is that the best parts of the library are better accomplished with a combination of Turbolinks 5 and Stimulus. Not a coincidence that they're all Rails extractions.

For me, the more interesting question in all of this is where did this fervour for JS-and-the-way-down actually come from?

My hypothesis is that it's the natural result of a huge mess of new talent - fresh out of various overpriced Bootcamps and told that their 9-week educations give them a credible opinion in true post-modernist fashion - all being released on the world at the precise moment that a predictable police lineup of over-promised technologies were all at the top of their respective hype cycles.

Humans have a predictable tendency to assume that the thing they are thinking about at the moment is far more important than it actually is. If you have a very short institutional memory and everyone you know in your bubble has been programming for a relatively short period of time, pretty soon you can start to believe that if everyone is doing it, you couldn't all be wrong.

> $20k a year is peanuts compared to the out-of-pocket expenses of a serious medical emergency.

And that’s the most annoying part. The fact that $20,000 is considered peanuts in a medical condition is already outrageous. My friend’s wife had a c-section child delivery and was billed $38,000...for a 3 days stay at the hospital. No complications just a planned c-section. I understand that’s the reason why the insurance is so high
I like how the USA is willing to ban something so silly to protect children but gun control is offlimits. Like what.
"India also has the worst "private" hospitals if you compare the hospital support staff specially nurses. Most of them (not all) nurses have no passion and the profession itself is not given the kind of importance that it is given in the US."

This is because Nurses don't get paid well, avg pay will be around Rs 15,000/month which is simply not enough in metro cities.
Majority of the profits of private hospitals goes towards Doctors and hospital administration.
Nurses pay have been stagnant for so long. Nurses don't even get extra pay or shift allowance for working nights. Many of the skilled ones, migrate to western countries rather than stay and work in India.
Nurses do get paid well in govt hospitals, but govt hospitals are so few as compared to privately run hospitals.
Twitter using Rails to grow to the point where Rails became the problem was actually Rails's selling point.

> Australia generally has great "free" healthcare

No, the Australian medicare system is not remotely close to being great. When a simple CT scan/MRI can take 4 months waiting time [1], I wouldn't jump up and defend such a failed system. It is not great, it is the complete opposite of that. Ever tried to do some dentals using that "free" healthcare you mentioned or ever tried 12-18 months elective surgery waiting time?

Portamento is a fairly standard feature on many synthesizers - there's no need to use MIDI to spell out the full range of sliding one note into another, or to use a pitch bend. On supporting instruments (such as a great number of vintage and modern analog synthesizers, and perhaps a majority of software synthesizers/samplers) MIDI can send a control to enable portamento (and to set a desired speed) right before moving from one set of notes to another. After the slide is done, portamento can be disabled with another MIDI control signal. This can be used precisely for the effect of sliding a minor chord into a major chord, for example. Admittedly, this does require that the instrument be designed with portamento support in mind, which does seem like it could be an arbitrary limitation on instruments that may otherwise be capable of only simple pitch bends (though since these typically affect all notes at once I'm still not sure how trivial the portamento idea would be to implement in general).
Off topic: this is a horrendous name for a project unrelated to geographical maps.
> Government enterprises don't exist to make a profit. They exist to make the people better off; sometimes resources are focused on the most needy. If you view Amtrak in that light, then it's substantially more justifiable.

But that’s precisely the problem. Amtrak users even in rural places aren’t “the most needy.” Amtrak is more expensive than driving, especially if you’re traveling with a family, and everybody in rural America has a car (you can’t get to an Amtrak station without one). Portland to Eugene is $28 per person, for a trip that’s about $15 worth of gas. Over $100 for a family of four, and then you still have to get where you’re going at both ends. You can’t even take the train to less economically advantaged places along the Oregon coast. But everybody has a car.

That’s what’s so morally pernicious about rail. It’s rich yuppies’ idea of what poor people use and need. Poor people don’t take the train. They don’t work in a downtown office building near transit. They work in the suburbs or exurbs or in the country. On Christmas they pack their kids in a cheap car and go from their house, which is nowhere near a city center, to grandma’s house, which is nowhere near a city center. What helps needy people (and frankly, the 90% of America that lives outside major cities)—lets them get to work, go visit family, etc., is roads, cheap gas, and in more developed areas, reliable bus service.

> Would be good to also take care of illegal spying on presidential campaigns while they're at it.

Even if that was a real problem, it's obviously impossible for a law to “take care of it”, only to outlaw it, which, as we’re discussing “illegal spying”, it already has, by definition.

The standard is RAD. The BBC hasn't implemented it.

For Google Podcasts, "downloaded" = "listened", since it has no auto-download feature. So they are (excepting the minority who manually download) actual listens.

You remind me that I should add a sniffer for RAD support in my Podnews pages, so I'll go and do that. My own podcast has RAD tags in it.

Having humans being the ones playing Universal Paperclips is a very interesting phenomenon, though. What does it say about us that as we fear a paperclip automaton annihilating us, we find it irresistable just to see some numbers get bigger? Would anyone NEED to build a complex AI in order to get us to annihilate ourselves? Would calling it Universal Banknotes make it clearer?

It says that when it comes to a Skinner box, we’re the same as those poor rats. It also suggests that keeping humanity busy while an AI turns us into paper clips would be a more trivial exercise than some might hope.
Yeah exactly. Many of these founders are on their 2nd startup and are already millionaires. Some poor nth employee is in fact risking a lot by e.g. quitting their nice life in a city by relocating, or quitting a promising career. Yet the founders' massively disporportionate ownership is chucked off to "risk".

I for one hope for market forces that will rebalance these discrepancies. Talented 1st employee shouldering most of the technical brunt taking <1% plus dilution is selling oneself to the dogs.

Yes, but to bend a major chord to a minor they would need to bend by different amounts. There's no standard support for that in MIDI.

Verification and Validation Model
There is opportunity for a rails like framework in Typescript and React Hooks which is server-side first.
A lot of the js/react frameworks are rich, client side ..which need a little more conceptual thinking than a server side rendered framework like rails (because you get into unnecessary complexities of API,graphql,her,etc).

The other thing that's missing is db migrations - typeorm has decent migrations, so that can be leveraged.
Meituan's head, Wang Xing, "calls Facebook Inc. a copycat for imitating other online services." But then the article goes through his past work:

1. "...in 2003, he dropped out, inspired by Friendster, a Facebook precursor, to create a social network for China."

2. "Their 2007 effort, a popular Twitter look-alike called Fanfou..."

3. "In 2010 he created Meituan in the mold of Groupon..."

4. "...he plans to introduce an Amazon Prime-like subscription service."

I myself don't care if you copy an idea. In fact it seems unavoidable, because "there is nothing new under the sun," "everything is a remix," and "ideas are just multipliers." What differentiates your business is your execution. Apple did not come up with new ideas. They took old ideas and did them really, really, really well. They didn't invent the graphical user interface. The iPod was not the first MP3 player. The iPhone was not the first smartphone. The iPad was not the first tablet computer.
I am just concerned about the Ruby/RoR talent pool shrinking year by year.
It's not that Tone is more precise than setInterval, it's that the web audio APIs underneath are precisely scheduled, and Tone provides an interface to them.

That is, if you set up a Tone transport to fire events every 100ms, it's not like your event handler gets called precisely 100ms later. Rather, it gets called early - say 85ms later - with a parameter saying "hey that event you wanted is precisely 14.7803ms away". Then you can call an API saying "okay, play a tone 14.7803ms from now", and Tone passes that along to web audio, and the end result is that your note plays with sample-level precision.

But if you used Tone's transport to do something other than calling web audio APIs it wouldn't be any more precise than setInterval. (IIRC Tone actually uses setInterval to fire its events.)

There's a huge difference in viability & mitigations here, though. In a shared metal system a portsmash attack isn't likely to be practically viable, and worst case is sched affinity or similar is used to just firewall off processes from co-inhabiting the same physical core. Kernel scheduler could even do this in a clever way, this has a very clear path to which it is basically fully mitigated.

So all signs point to shared metal still being viable security-wise, with mitigations either already deployed or pretty straightforward. Shared hardware will remain totally fine.

Shared-process, though, nobody is really talking about making that viable from a security perspective.
Putting aside the bait, the whole story with a Kinder Eggs has become a tale told to illustrate a point, but the story itself is nonsense. The US didn’t specifically ban them, they simply fall under a (sensible) pre-existing law and no one gives enough of a crap to change it. Simply put it’s banned to sell candy with something inedible inside of it. This law goes back to the 1930’s and frankly, makes a lot of sense in the general case.

Besides, slightly modified kinder eggs are sold in the US.

> I’m not suggesting that we give up React and es7 and go back to writing server-templated web-apps like it’s 2012 again.

My team is still building server-templated web apps with Django, RoR, Laravel. It's just that most software we make is some sort of CRUD application and React/Redux feels like overengineering, and still a mess when it comes to SEO. Clients are happy and ultimately don't care. Should I be worried?
Many would argue the kinder egg ban is uunconstitutional. And stuff like is supposed to be left up to the states. But who's willing to fight for the kinder eggs?

No, it doesn't. In fact, I think it's pretty explicit in making the situation clear:

> First of all, let me start by saying, I am not defending Apple's terrible stance towards Right to Repair.

> I think Apple's R2R policy is awful - It sucks that once the device you buy is on the "obsolete" list, you can no longer get 1st party service from Apple. Not only that, but there are no legal ways to obtain parts. IMO this is something all of us should be putting pressure on Apple to change. I'd love it if there was a law on the books that forced companies to make spare parts for products available to customers for x amount of years after the warranty expires. That would allow people to continue using the devices they buy.

> In closing, I'm going to continue supporting Louis, iFixit, and their attempts to secure our rights to repair the products we own.

But it is also very obvious that Louis Rossman was clearly dishonest. Actually, I don't quite understand your argument:

> If factories are producing batteries with a default Apple logo (ie to Chinese standards), and he's instructing them to cross it out, that also seems completely legitimate.

How is this "completely legitimate"? Apple is (quite understandably) annoyed that some factories decided to make batteries that Louis could peddle as genuine Apple batteries, when it's clear that they are in fact not these at all (they're crossing out the logos to pass customs, for heaven's sake). Of course they're going to be seized, because they're counterfeit: Apple probably wasn't even involved here. I'm surprised he has the gall to try to make this a huge PR issue by claiming that Apple was trying to stop him from repairing Macs with genuine batteries that he bought when he knows they're just shady batteries from China he's trying to bring into the country.
You certainly do. A global nuclear war wouldn't even remotely come close to ending warfare. Immediately after the nukes stopped flying, traditional military conflict would follow/continue, including intense territorial landgrabs. Whatever is left of Russia, as one example, would be attempting territorial annexation of any parts of nearby Eastern Europe that hadn't been destroyed, as a desperate move to grab resources (including food). The US could hit Russia with all of its nukes and Russia would still have 100+ million people and vast military resources that dwarf its neighbors.

You could simultaneously detonate every functional nuclear weapon on earth inside of the borders of Texas and still not manage to kill everyone in the state. The notion that global nuclear war would end all of civilization, has always been a good form of propaganda aimed at preventing nations from doing something so stupid. The earth is really, really big.

Yes, I know Java for sure allows this. There are workarounds to enforce stricter behavior via things like @NonNull and checker frameworks, but it obviously never works as well as it would on a language level.
I think it's that, and the general accessibility of Javascript. Before this JS craze you saw the same shit with PHP and Visual Basic, though for the most part people weren't trying to build and rebuild the same platforms nearly as much as now
Priority yes, but that's barely useful. cgroups, rlimits, cpulimit, etc... are far more useful here, and are all per-process.

Some friends and I used to have gatherings to set up MIDI-rings and play MIDI-Maze for hours. I'm having difficulty remembering, but I think we sometimes had as many as eight players. The more players, the more likely the dreaded "MIDI-ring boo-boo" would interrupt a game. I wrote a map designer in GFA Basic, and I recall we had a bunch of custom maps as a result.
