How comfortable do you feel with encountering shanty towns, or wandering packs of sufficiently intelligent, tool-using genetically engineered hybrids?

How comfortable do feel with the idea of looking at pictures of horrendously deformed children? Watching HD videos of them live in miserable pain?

How do you feel about knowing their might be laboratories, filled with cages containing strange failed experiments?

Are you going to be okay with all the cruelty, as lab technicians get bored with the idea of tending to the needs of inconvenient five-year-old oddities that aren't intended to last more than ten years?

How far and how much of the fringe incidental screw-ups are you willing to let slip past, in furtherance of progress comparable to that of a competitor which has no qualms about exploitatively pushing forward with?

Move fast and break things, indeed.
Web Components don’t offer a declarative way of updating the DOM; it’s still `innerHTML` and using DOM APIs to edit the state of the live DOM. Backbone was a hassle to manage in any sizeable app because updating the view was left up to every dev to figure out themselves. React brought a declarative wrapper around the statefulness of the DOM, and that is the killer feature that Web Components does not offer at all. Vue adopted the declarative template approach as well.

The Web Components spec was written before React and Vue were very mature, and it unfortunately shows. Web Components might offer a better primitive for higher level frameworks to build on, but I would not suggest to anyone to use barebones Web Components over React or Vue.
Looks like no word yet on fairing recovery— according to the reddit thread, there were ships assigned to that duty, but it wasn't mentioned in the webcast and there's no updates I can see on it.

I doubt that it's intending to take away any attribution rights, in this case. Wikipedia could use some other method of attribution, if the history was entirely unpublishable.

The tooling is woefully inadequate, and the premiere Web Component tool is stringly typed to all heck which makes it a non-starter for me. I don't want giant blobs of runtime parsed text with no validation, syntax highlighting, and obviously no type checking.

But yet, here's Polymer 3:

static get template() {
return html`
<style>
.response { margin-top: 10px; }
</style>
<paper-checkbox checked="{{liked}}">I like web components.</paper-checkbox>

<div hidden$="[[!liked]]" class="response">Web components like you, too.</div>
`;
}

Cool. What an enormous regression over TypeScript with React and Vue. My editor just sees components as enormous blobs of text, and what do you know, so does my build system.
Curious what you think about React Canvas https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas
> people are amazed by it.

Being 'amazed by it' isn't equivalent to fully realizing what SpaceX's achievements imply: specifically tracking the progress of SpaceX means counting down the years until you can buy a ticket to Mars.

Do most people realize that these launches are primarily done to create Mars colonies? Do most people realize that the goal of SpaceX is to terraform Mars into a planet livable like Earth? Do most people really grasp all this?

I haven't met a single person (aside from existing friends) IRL that understands any of this. It seems to be mostly "cool, rockets!" to most people - none of the full understand of what each success is to SpaceX: money in the bank for Mars development and experience launching rockets to colonize space.

The vertical landing via rocket is to make it easy to launch and land on any solid surface in the solar system. Do most people realize the impact of this? I would be shocked.

A random signal is incomprehensible. The fact that the signal is random is not. The medium is not. And you can't have a signal without a medium, so there is always structure.

Mathematicians study randomness, and what they study about it is the structure that it has.

>I have no idea what you're talking about. I pointed you to the book written by an eminent physicist [...]

You pointed me to a wikipedia article which contains right inside it reasonable people who disagree with that point of view. So read what you link.
It's insane to me that everything Polymer was got reduced to LitElement which is basically a complete copy of React without React and without the immeasurable support of typescript, VSCode support IN the view and debugging directly in the TSX.

> "Coffee contains almost no calories and therefore does not contribute, from the physiological perspective, to safeguarding nutrition," the Federal Office for National Economic Supply said (in German).

That's true: nobody needs coffee to survive and it doesn't provide nutritional value. But does that really mean that you can't keep a little on hand, given how many people enjoy it? This is coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee, FWIW.
No. Some of the features required us to slightly modify Postgres, but we'll be trying to upstream the changes.

I don’t understand the push to make userland component abstractions into native primitives. It’s perfectly fine for the browser to just implement low level primitives for frameworks like React to build on top of. It allows the framework to develop much faster.

Web components kind of miss a lot of the reasons why React has taken off. Encapsulation is one thing but it’s the declarative way of handling state, effects, and the DOM that make it powerful. Web components would need a framework on top of it to make it usable by developers building anything significant.
There are 4 images on that page, 1 of which is the Interstellar movie rendition that I already linked to. They are also all the same model only in better detail as graphics technology has improved.

Perhaps you should post exactly what image you're talking about and what you think is different.
I strongly believe Web Components will catch on, but not in its vanilla form. Writing code for them is a pain in the ass for non-trivial stuff.

They're too low level compared to modern frameworks.

IMO the future of the web will be about compiling React, Vue, Svelte, to Web Components, for interoperability reasons. And nope, Polymer isn't as good as any of those.

I used to be one of the "automate all the things!" crowd, but as I've been exposed to more and more fields, I've come to realize that automation's place is to augment and assist, not replace. There are diminishing returns to increased automation, as at the end of the day, the user of the automation needs to be 10% smarter than the piece of equipment, which quickly becomes a more and more challenging task the more the challenge of overseeing the automation takes away from doing what you are there to do in the first place. In this case, flying the plane.

Actually from the link you provided, airspeed is absolutely a quantitative indicator of a stall.

Oh I agree, it won't be soon! But that's the real goal of today's launch: to learn more about the technology that will enable the technology to terraform Mars (and to bank money to fund it).

I think that is lost on most people. There's no point in today's launch for SpaceX if they don't get closer to colonizing and then terraforming Mars. They don't care otherwise - that is the goal.

Edit: Not sure what you mean by elitest, but okay. Every SpaceX launch, including today's, works towards this goal: this is what watching SpaceX launches is about for a lot of people, maybe most who watch.

Cross products are taught in high school. And I'm sure by college, a good amount of people are aware that four dimensional cross products are not possible. And like me, most of them probably thought four and higher dimensional cross products don't exist. So when I saw 7-dimensional cross product, I got pretty interested.
So this is basically a fork of Postgresql? Interesting. Why not just have an extension? I do like the idea of object oriented queries (without having to go through ORM), and simplified JSON usage. Lots of good ideas! I'm excited about this project.

People here seem to think that Uber/Lyft do not have any competitive moat. I disagree. What we seem to forget is that just because a VC can burn boatloads of money to capture ridesharing market from Uber/Lyft doesn't mean that they would. From a game theoretic POV, Uber and Lyft have signaled that they're ready to fight for survival in markets they are established in. Unless as a startup founder you can demonstrate that you can achieve lower cost structures than Uber/Lyft, no VC will fund their rapid growth (small offerings will still find a niche, assuming they don't get gobbled up). Uber/Lyft do have a VCs-will-not-race-to-the-bottom-with-them moat, and tomorrow they might as well raise their prices to turn profitable. Their biggest challenge is Waymo and SDC because if a competitor as significantly lower cost structure, all bets are off.
And yet they are still there...

Currently looking for roles in the Washington, DC area. I'm leaving my Phd program, where I focused on research in Edge Computing, to find a role that has more impact in the world. Looking for exciting new roles that are high impact and allow me to intersect my knowledge of tech with my creative side while also interacting with people! I like to wear many hats and be thrown into where I'm needed. My background is in systems and cloud computing but I am always eager to learn new technologies on the fly.

Shoot me an email and let's have a fun conversation.
They didn't just take away the infringing contribution, but everything prior to 2018-09-28.
people in here keep on saying that uber is not making profit. where is the source for that? i remember people saying the same thing about tesla. complete dogma. nobody seemed to understand that tesla was investing huge amounts of money into the development of other cars and expanding their factories. so what are ubers expenses? it does not pass the smell test. what is the expense that is killing them?

and people in here also dont seem to appreciate that uber can change their prices. they cant right now, but they will be able to soon. all the investor money floating around means that their competition may be able to operate in the red for extended periods of time. when the investor money dries up and everyone is surviving on profit, prices can go up. and they will go up because rideshare is the most efficient and cheapest way to do taxis -- nobody is going to come in and disrupt uber. except for driverless cars. but driverless cars arent going to happen. not anytime soon.

edit: i just looked at the chart in the document and as far as i can tell they are 3B in the red. not really sure what the units are in that chart. ok, well there are a lot of expenses where i cant tell exactly what they are, but their marketing expenses were 3B. 3 fucking billion dollars -- am i reading that correctl? thats the same amount by which they are in the red. i also see some very high numbers for management. all uber has to do is cut the fat and they will be making a nice profit.
Uber facilitated 10 billion rides in 2018. I think you are severely underestimating the ease at which another service, benefitting from self-driving capabilities or not, will erode such a massive network. Value of company will be correlated with value of the network, so I can certainly see how it is indeed worth something... and actually quite a lot.
We can't seem to manage maintaining this place as a livable planet, let alone a planet we have yet to even retrieve a rock from.

But yes, SpaceX is doing a lot to make spaceflight more accessible, and that will yield many benefits and opportunities down the road.

If Sweden were cut off from the world and forced to defend itself, I would hope its defenders wouldn’t simultaneously be fighting caffeine withdrawal. There’s your strategic justification.

Of course, if Sweden were under serious attack, it would likely mean that Russia was moving against NATO, and the world would be on the brink of apocalyptic nuclear war. But you wouldn’t want two problems. :)
>They seem to be near the bottom of the pack when it comes to self driving capability.

And yet they are the only company in the world to have shipped a workable level 2 system in mass quantities. Orders of magnitude greater than Cruise or Waymo's fleet size. That puts them miles ahead in terms of data collection, which is the real challenge.

My blog is still pretty new, so I haven't had to think about this situation yet - I'm the only one who's committed so far. If someone were to contribute I'd be more than happy to figure out a fair way to attribute them, though!
Strongly disagree. We (Ionic) built our new version directly on top of Web Components and they are certainly a thing for us and our users building real apps on top. Plus, they are a huge reason why we now support React and Vue and plain JS.

Frankly, this has been transformational for our project and for our business. I'm completely sold.

One problem with the WC debate is people constantly compare the raw Web Component collection of APIs to a framework, when in reality, you'll add in libraries or extras on top of your Web Components to get similar functionality (like Stencil: http://stenciljs.com/), but you'll likely not build apps with them as much as you'll build components to share with others.

In that sense, the killer app for Web Components is actually Design Systems, not SPAs.

I disagree with the idea that Web Components replace your framework, however. They solve different problems! For Ionic as a cross-platform Design System, they are a major asset.
Most people don't even know that this happened. I talk to people about it often and most don't know that there is a Tesla floating in space.
Never wanted anything of Apple since then because I was afraid all prices would rise too much and I think it did, for all "premium" products. I saw people buying it who can hardly afford it.

The first iPhone was $499. The iPhone 7 while three generations old, is still faster than all but the highest end Android phones and will probably 3 or 4 more years - $475

The original iPad was $499. The newest regular 9.7” iPad is $329

When I bought an “entry level” Mac LCII it was $2100 back in 1992 with the monitor. The lowest cost iMac that anyone should buy is $1699 - 21.5” iMac with 256Gb SSD and 16GB RAM.

The base level MacBook Air for $1199 is a perfectly good laptop.

Apple has never been the lowcost leader.

This doesn't really make sense to me from a simple dynamics perspective. Why does time matter, unless efficiency comes into play somewhere?
Agreed. And in this particular case, they're not even transporting weapons, right?

What's your point? NASA got a bunch of help from Nazi scientists.
Regarding "records of conversation": The difference is that when you tell a memory, it is not proof of it actually happening. If I claim "Hubert said he stole a car", it is far less relevant to anyone interested than an audio recording of him saying "I stole a car".
> So this is basically a fork of Postgresql? Interesting. Why not just have an extension?

EdgeQL as a language is so intuitive and advanced only because it operates on a very specific data model that can be compiled to a relational model, but isn't really compatible with it. So naturally, EdgeDB wants to be in absolute control of the underlying Postgres backend, which goes beyond of what's acceptable for a Postgres extension.

> Btw I suggest coming up with a better name than EdgeQL. Maybe just EQL?

There are other languages called EQL (at least that's the impression I got when I last googled it), whereas EdgeQL is unique :)
The court's reasoning for why they have jurisdiction was outlined here: https://thewikicabal.com/2019/01/20/waibel-v-wikimedia/

This is troubling because there's nothing preventing a Chinese court from claiming jurisdiction over the page on 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Of course that request will be thrown out because, well... it's China, but with the direction EU's taking, it's only a matter of time before western European countries start sending more of these takedown requests.
Glad I could help! So satisfying to find a concise name/explanation/rule/heuristic for describing complicated phenomena. ^_^
I think most of the rationale is around sharing components easily, at a level separate from NPM/&c. For things like JIRA/Disqus widgets, or for small components shared across otherwise disparate parts of a large site (things like Office 365).

It is extremely short-sighted, how we have treated our planet. With oil and gas companies lying to the public about their research for 50 years, and politicians intentionally taking stances that we should pollute more (just because we can), the main issues on Earth are around decision making.

It will not be technology that solves climate change; it will be a reigning in of externalities, correctly pricing pollution into corporate development and taxation, and the recovery of truth into politics and decision making.

It should be common knowledge that most corporations are trading our long-term health for short-term profits; if only the corporations could wait 5-10 more years for profits, they could be had sustainably for centuries, rather than all in a burst today.

We need better decision making on Earth - and better technology. But it's hardly SpaceX's fault that we haven't solved our Earthly crises yet.
Use a variant type like llvm::Expected.
I don’t see how that makes sense in practice in a globalised world with the internet. The information is going to come from everywhere, and given the way the US meddles, our elections are of interest to practically every country. OF COURSE they’re going to try to influence our elections. Even a brief glance at our own history shows us doing that to, uh, practically every other country. It’s only going to get more pronounced! I see no practical way of achieving what you want other than burying our heads in the sand.
