> Phoenix Live View is very new

Its technique is not new, it's just server-side rendering via websocket and DOM patching (Morphdom is also very old)

> not appropriate at all

"At some" would be appropriate. Pretty much typical CRUD (real world) that needs to fire requests to server anyway (e.g. form, business logic validation).

The only reason not to use it _right now today_ is it's not 1.0 yet.
I was never really into podcasts until I started my current job and commuting regularly. After a while I noticed that listening to music was beginning to fuel my frustration with other drivers and I'd get to work already stressed out. I started listening to talk radio and podcasts and that has really improved my feelings on the road and my state of mind walking into the office.

I honestly don't think it has really impacted my music listening either. I'll toss something on at work and listen while I work through a problem or while reading. The type of music I listen has shifted to fit my purposes but it is still there and I don't see it going away either.
Perhaps people find it interesting but are too shy to leave the first comment. Like being the one to ask a question during a lecture, sometimes it's really hard to put yourself out there.
Agreed that producing is tough, but what was said above about it being "vaporware" is complete nonsense though.

Wrong because others have monetized their own children. I am thinking specifically of parents who have children in the entertainment or sports industries.

I actually agree with you. My kids are awesome and I enjoy the time playing with them and watching them develop. But not everyone receives that same kind of joy from child development nor do people have the same goals.
TChannel has very limited language support and is essentially deprecated. gRPC is supported by majority of mainstream languages and is under active development.
With all due respect, you may want to recalibrate your crystal ball. Native advertising was born a decade ago out of the very situation you describe. Publishers now sell their editorial space just like ad space. Want an article in Ars Technica about your product that’s disguised as a legitimate story? Just pay them $75,000+ and you can have whatever you like. The net effect of ad blocking is the complete corruption of editorial. The ads are so intertwined with the content because they are the content.
It’s not absent, it’s just hidden. You can order one if you call.
Lol. By all means, make fun of this strategy now, I do it myself, but you have to understand what it was like in silicon valley back in those days, 2010-2011. Facebook was the game in town, and these were the days when for the true believers, myself included, it was going to deliver us from evil (yeah, I know). The “smart money” either were Facebook insiders or wished they were, ie everyone knew that to insist on meaningful revenue before writing a seed stage check meant missing out on the next Facebook.

I was a first time founder who started out as a build engineer, then engineer, tech lead, and PM. I’d been bootstrapping for two years and needed to raise. I didn’t know shit about business or venture capital other than that it’s apparently how dreams get made. So I figured out how to position the company to get funded, and got it done.

Did I have a proven revenue model? No, but I had a few plausible directions, and that was enough to get to the next phase, so I didn’t sweat it.

Would I pitch a pre-revenue startup on Sand Hill in 2019? Unlikely.

Maybe that’s obvious to everyone now. But it’s a lot easier to be on the outside making fun of failed projects than to actually forego the cushy salary and go for it as a founder.

You're not wrong, but it's this kind of thinking that the author is referring to. When it comes to children, if the motivation to develop and cultivate comes from seeing them as a long-term retirement plan that can be dangerous if they fail to meet that expectation.
> Podcasts are bad because podcasts sound bad — and podcasts sound bad because podcasters aren’t thinking hard enough about what their talk sounds like.

But this is exactly why we should cherish podcasts! They're one of the last vestiges of the old, weird, free Internet that we have left.

Podcasts (mostly) sound bad because the people making them are (mostly) amateurs, which means they don't know the ins and outs of audio recording. They just hooked up a crappy USB mic to their laptop and started podcasting. And once they did that, there was no central corporate gatekeeper who could turn them off and tell them to come back when they knew what they were doing.

All of which, yes, results in a lot of crappy podcasts. But consider the alternative. Do we really want to see one more wide open indie publishing channel turn into bland, pre-digested corporate mush? Is the problem with podcasting that it's not enough like Facebook? Because that's the alternative: one more medium where all the weirdness has been wrung out, except for those random bits of weirdness that happen to tickle an algorithm that makes some corporate overseer another nickel.

Maybe that is what you want, I dunno. If so, don't worry! Now that people with money have taken notice of podcasts, there are plenty of would-be corporate overseers lining up to give it to you as we speak.
My comment used the term in the exact manner described by the comment you're replying to, to describe a state of affairs whereby incentives are systemically perverse because risk is not properly allocated.

A recent review I looked through indicates that the term has been historically used for different purposes in economics, insurance and probability literature. If the language of externalities is easier to understand for you, feel free to mentally substitute it in.

I could have couched the comment in the language of externalities and made a similar point, but it would lose the rhetorical flourish of hinting that legislatures themselves discount risk associated with their actions (or lack thereof).
What is super cool about Tesla is their laser sharp focus on creating a good electric vehicle. From the autonomy announcement and then this one, they are creating tools purpose built for cars, like new chips for self driving, battery tech etc. They have done so much in so little time, we have come to expect more from them. There is only so much a car company can innovate, Tesla has gone beyond it.

Edit: I am a Tesla fanboy but I don't condone their false advertising around FSD.

Camping and spending time in the bush (wilderness) away from services may be one of the best ways of learning how to simplify your thinking and reduce your need to be always occupied.

There is something about sitting back with a nice warm drink in your hands, your feet resting on a log near a crackling campfire gazing up as the embers from the fire spiral up amongst the stars that just helps put everything in perspective.

Your focus boils down to the necessaries of what am I going to eat and am I going to be warm and dry if it rains tonight. Depending on where you are camping you could add the excitement of, is something going to try to eat me during the night.
Which is fine, provided you are in the socio-economic group of people who don't have to worry about whether or not the local mayor is ripping you off. Or perhaps the city council is planning to put a halfway house on your block. Etc etc etc.

Fair enough. Today I learned.
I feel like podcasts are similar to, but not exactly the same as, talk radio. Most talk radio formats are built around listeners calling in, for instance, which can provide a degree of spontaneity that isn't possible in a prerecorded format like a podcast.

(Which gives me an excuse to link to the classic Mr. Show sketch, "Pre-Taped Call-In Show": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhVbLJvYP8s)

That being said, I do think the appeal of podcasts is pretty close to what people find appealing about talk radio: people like to hear other people talk.

New Statement from Checks and Balances on the Mueller Report
Math is just a much deeper topic than most others. The things people do in research level math can take a really long time to explain to a lay person because of the many layers of abstraction involved.
wait -- is that allowed by prop 13?

this seems like a separate issue. these are individuals who are simply breaking the existing tax law combined with a miserably run local government that fails to do even the most basic job of enforcing that law.

i mean, when someone dies, a death certificate is issued. the county government finds out about that event and it's losing money by not putting 2 and 2 together -- but it still fails. IMHO a better-run government is the first remedy here.

> I consider [podcasts] an enemy of music. [...] With all of the world’s unheard songs beckoning us with their endless mystery, why would anyone choose to waste their precious listening hours on a podcast?

This isn't just comparing apples and oranges, it's arguing that apples are the enemy of oranges. "With so many delicious oranges uneaten, why should anyone waste their time consuming a mealy, flavorless apple?" At least apples and oranges are both types of fruit. I don't think there is anything to be learned by debating the relative worth of two different types of media. He has his reasons for disliking podcasts, but they sound very personal. If he is annoyed by how podcast hosts talk, for example, that is simply how he experiences it. Others will have a completely different perception.
It means he picks up random domain names, and then tries to find an idea that matches/fits the domain name.

Huh, its funny because I always thought I hated podcasts because of the typical NPR sound. I love a ton of low budget podcasts now and feel like its a lot more normal/organic to listen to people on lower budget mics than the NPR style mic/sound production.
What is the MIT style of teaching calculus?
I recently heard from a student at my college that the teacher I'll be taking for Integral Calculus mentions from time to time, "I teach Calculus the MIT style." Can anybody tell me what that means?
This one candidate had been allowed to skip the phone screen, and phone screens would likely have filtered them out. Candidate used Java and claimed to be deeply familiar with it. Obviously this isn't exact, but the result looked something like this:

public isTheFooBarred(class Node { int[][] positions, int size } node, int x, int y, Set visited = new HashSet(node.size)) {
// ...
}

The first parameter to the method had an inlined class definition, and the last parameter was optional. We discussed this and the candidate claimed that this was legal vanilla Java. In the case of the last parameter, the candidate claimed that the compiler generated every possible combination of methods including and excluding each of the optional parameters (so, 2^n methods).

I really tried to give the candidate the benefit of the doubt, and asked if there was some sort of annotation processor or code pre-processor that they were using, but they were adamant that it was plain old vanilla Java. I'm pretty sure that they were using some in-house built thing, but their solution had significant problems, so it wasn't the only reason I was against the hire.
Hilarious. Someone down-voted my comment without reading the paper. Because, if you actually read it, it would be impossible to down-vote a conclusion clearly backed by data and research presented by the authors in the paper.

This research came out of Google. What I find admirable is that the researchers went into this to prove that renewable energy sources were the solution to our problems. In fact, they went in convinced they were correct in having reached this conclusion prior to doing the research. Instead, they discovered they were wrong. And they went ahead and said so.

These days, when science and politics are so intertwined, the latter polluting the former, it is refreshing to see such honesty. That's what science is about: Verifiable, reproducible, evidence-based conclusions, not religion or politics.

Bravo Google Research for doing this work and publishing a conclusion that was diametrically opposite your own assumptions.

EDIT:

This down vote also demonstrates my point: This issue has become a religion (on all sides). Facts and science don't matter any more. People believe what they believe and simply refuse to consider they might just be wrong. Which happens to be the case for nearly EVERYONE who thinks they know the subject. If you think you do, see my first post and answer my questions.

Having listened to both I don't think this characterization is right. The sound of podcasts is heavily heavily inspired by the sound of NPR, but that is very different from what a lot of talk radio sounds like. The new-age analog of talk radio is streaming, it has a similar cadence and improvisation with the back and forth between rambling and participating with the audience.
I think they were referring to management performance bonuses and things of that nature.
I don't know why you're talking about "the ins and outs of audio recording". The author makes clear that's not what he's talking about. In the very next sentence after your quote he writes:

>Forget the lousy microphones and the dinky interstitial stock music — the thing that derails most podcasts is the blab.

And later on he explains again.

>By “sound good,” I meant that I wanted podcasts to sound considered.

Anyway, I think this is just a matter of taste. I imagine the author also hates talk radio/sports radio. You know those 2-hour shows about the Philadelphia sports or whatever?

Much of podcasting is essentially the modern take on that. Of course, it isn't "considered". Of course it has "blab". That's kind of the whole point -- it is filling in a connection/emotional gap that people aren't getting in their day to day lives.
Range and acceleration mostly go hand in hand. Much of the constraint on acceleration is how much power you can pull from the battery pack, and that gets better with larger batteries. It’s not like a normal car where high acceleration means a big, inefficient engine.

> under that same logic, you should ban practically all opinions that involve politics

That does not follow at all.

> Allowing one while prohibiting other is an arbitrary decision

You neglect, to include freedom from. In both the US model and your interpretation of freedom to do and say whatever you like, freedom from is little considered. Just freedom to.

Yet you can't ever consider one without the other.

Your freedoms will impact those around you. Your neighbour will be impacted by your building a wall as it may cut their light or view. They'll be impacted by your words as much as installing a 2,000w sound system in your garden.

The "freedom" of the majority to stand out side the polling station calling out the "fucking niggers" - or jews or whatever - for daring to want to cast a vote, express their will. Literally putting the minority in fear of their life. That freedom has taken a freedom from another.

Such fundamentalist freedom is often espoused by those seeking a racist or oppressive regime. The freedom to call out the niggers, to have the neo-Nazi rally, to require the jews to wear a yellow star in public. That "freedom" is one of the tools to put and keep the minority in their low place and get second class service or bus seating.

> it's a view of people who care about freedom

NO. Emphatically no. Just for people who care for a fundamentalist selfishness of the majority. To be a racist jerk, or bring the tyranny of an oppressive majority outside the polling station. To be white in Alabama or apartheid South Africa. To not be white in other places.

Those who really care for freedom attempt to balance freedom to against freedom from. It's always a balancing act, it's just that 98% of it is really easy to allow.

Germany absolutely does have freedom of speech, they just attempt to set some common-sense limits on when that freedoms takes from others more than it gives you. You can complain against the government as much and as often as you like. You can't pretend the holocaust didn't happen or promote a new gassing of minorities. You don't have the freedom to incite violence with your words.

The only country that really goes with "freedom to" as the main consideration with little to no consideration of "freedom from" is the US. Mainly due to what often looks like deliberate misinterpretations of their constitution over the years.

Will it deteriorate?
At a seminar for HOA managers in Irvine, there was a panel discussion on the impact of higher Housing costs. Converting garages into dwelling units was top of the list for action plans. Number two was look for ways to solve parking issues, but there was no actual solution proposed by the panel. Besides some system like Parking Boss, I can't see how any community is supposed to manage the increase in cars, especially if garages are out of the question.

I think if it's this complicated or needs internal documents then the laws need to be revised.

To me it's very obvious that Amazon has a monopoly that is harmful to retailers. It also seems straightforward that it is an undesirable situation for consumers because it puts everyone at the mercy of this monopoly. Just because it isn't obvious that they are screwing us yet doesn't mean we should let them have total control until they do.

Anyone who wants to sell online has to worry what Amazon is going to do with them.

It's as if there was a big public square in the middle of the city and some day one of the vendors bought the entire square and then started charging all of the other vendors for the privilege of using the square.

The reason they are successful I think is because people need a platform for online shopping. Websites are not that platform. What I think we need are public decentralized protocols that vendors, logistics, and applications can plug into. Similar to what Amazon is doing now, but not controlled by one company who is also a competitor.
