>[...] the news industry has become a cesspool of anti-consumer and blackhat practices that has eroded trust for the sake of money.

You could say something quite similar about capitalism as a whole, in the sense that it looks like those practices are what any industry within that particular economic system ends up devolving into, for the sake of monetary growth and under the pretext of "being competitive" or "cost-effective." I guess it would also apply to economic liberalism in general.

Here's my opinion: news outlets are not necessary. Their content is mostly irrelevant, biased, and dependent on a very harmful revenue model--advertisements. Uncensorable, decentralized platforms, on the other hand, could provide communities with a means to inform others, express opinions and denounce any issue at hand, if well-designed.
"Partner with brands to create sponsored articles"

Are you f*ing kidding? Sponsored articles are ads. The ad industry-driven conflation of editorial and ads is a major reason the media industry is suffering. Many publishers have become indistinguishable from one another thanks to their reliance on ad tech content – "native content" in Facebook parlance and the false hope of social media-driven traffic. In so doing, they've helped empower Google and Facebook and surrendered their own brand power, becoming purveyors of generic sponsored slurry.

The original poster is not wrong about the problems with tracker-laden news sites. But he hasn't given much thought to solutions.

"I don’t have a fix all band-aid to replace current revenue streams for news websites..."

Do let us know when you figure it out. A lot of people have been trying to do so without success.

Subscriptions...great for the publishers with huge audiences, not so much for smaller news sites. How many news subscriptions will people pay for after they sign on for the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal? There's a limit to the monthly bleed people will tolerate.

And users donations are a bandage not a business model. People rely on donations for unexpected medical expenses in the US – that's a sign of system failure not a model for sustainability.

If an answer is found, it will probably have to do with weaning people off social media. Or we'll just have to enjoy our cat videos while investigative journalism withers.
Because it focuses blame on the airlines and pilots for executing poor judgment, and suggests that Boeing didn't create any risk that the downstream parties weren't aware of or in control of.
> It is often cited as exactly the reason, and appears to be the scientific consensus. In fact you can see large swings in diagnosis numbers based on socioeconomic factors[0], which definitely hints at diagnostic bias.

A counterthesis based on personal observations: let us assume that there exists a genetic reason for ASD (plausible), assume that ASD people tend to work in specific jobs in specific branch of the economy (think software development and/or research) - also very plausible. Now, additionally, assume (again very plausibly) that people look for potential partners in their social milieu and finally assume that people with similar (also slightly autistic) traits fit better together in a relationship.

This, in my opinion, explains quite well why there is a lot of inbreeding between people with a slight Asperger bias which, by genetics, leads to an increase of autism presence (and thus diagnoses) in specific socioeconomic milieus without any diagnosis bias.
> Bullshit like this happens more often than people think.

I would argue that this does not. I don't know anyone who goes to church who would have allowed this to go on without alerting the authorities. Assuming your recollection is true, this was just a group of bad people being bad under the false pretense of being a "Church".

Look, bad people are everywhere. And just because someone calls himself a Christian doesn't mean he is.

Yes, it was possible with Angular also before, just like with other frameworks, but now this is built-in the Angular CLI build pipeline.

This means that this is now mostly transparent to developers, and taken care for us by the build pipeline without having, for example, to configure webpack and Typescript manually ourselves.

I didn’t know what the chicken tax was. Here’s a write up on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-strange-...

In short: the EU wanted to stop a flood of US chickens in the 60s so they imposed a tariffs. The US then retaliated by tariffing trucks, mainly from VW.

But what is a truck? Is a minivan a truck? I didn’t know this but the Ford Transit is built in Spain and comes to the US with rear seats and also glass windows in the rear. At customs the seats are ripped out and the rear windows are plated over now making it a popular delivery truck, this voiding $250M in taxes.

I couldn't agree more. Many knock-out mice for protein coding genes don't have an "obvious phenotype", but they are conserved across species. When studied in detail they often reveal an effect, be it in the response to environmental stress or subtle behavioural alterations.
I can't find an updated reference, but results published in 2012 by the Mouse Genetics Project and the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium indicate that ~20% of coding gene knock-out lines examined don't have an "obvious phenotype" [1]. The most likely explanation for their conservation is that they do have a function and a phenotype: we just don't know what to look for.

You built a webpage not a website. A website is more than a collection it pages, it is interactions between the pages. It is about saving the shopping cart (what if the user opens several tabs and adds things in each tab). It is about updating the user on stock levels, which changes as other users order items - without giving away data on the other users who might not want the public to be able to guess what they ordered. It is about saving session state. It is about the user coming back the next day to check shipping.

Note that I don't write websites. I only have vague clues as to what issues real web site developers face. The above is a very incomplete overview of the type issues a website developer needs to figure out that don't apply to a webpage.

Today websites are common enough that people have figured out all the common issues and built tools. Now a website is easier because we know of solutions common problems and so you can just use the solution.

Churches have a legacy of being the focal point in a community. It's no more surprising that a small town would have that many churches than it is that they would have bars or community centers.

Society is changing. Small towns are getting smaller as kids move away. Also, church attendance is down as people go to Starbucks instead. It will balance out over time.
That just means that there was an impact at around the same time. There's been numerous impacts like this that have been claimed to be the cause of Younger Dryas in the past. However, just because there was an impact doesn't mean it had anything to do with YD.

The Atlantic meridional overturning current shutdown from a freshwater pulse is much more parsimonious, and is exactly what we would expect from the physics of the Laurentide melt going into the Atlantic.

Impacts still don't explain the multiple advance and retreats during the Laurentide, but it is obvious why that would occur with the AMOC shutdown explanation:

Melting causes the AMOC to shut down, causing nothern hemisphere cooling. The cooling reduces melting, inducing the AMOC to start back up, increasing melting once again.

We Hire Front End Engineers at Thread
I run engineering at Calendly - We are on Rails and it's been great for us for multiple reasons.

1: There's a large ecosystem or gems to do almost anything you need for basic SaaS apps

2: We are based in Atlanta, and there aren't too many Rails developers here compared to out west. However, the language of Ruby itself is easy to learn - we have hired engineers with backgrounds in PHP, Scala, JavaScript, Python, etc.. and they were all able to pick up Rails within 30 days.

3: The framework (in general) encourages good practices. Easier to avoid terrible database schema naming and structure.

The downsides for rails which we experience is in our builds - takes a long time to run tests and precompile assets, and it hasn't been straightforward thing to solve.
There is no need to treat religion and atheism as polar opposites. Atheism, at least in the west, has considerable overlap with Christian theology on topics like human rights. There is little rationality behind human rights, they can't be measured nor observed. Eg, who, when and how determined that humans have the right to life, but dolphins do not?

"Universal human rights" feels like a more modern wording for "God-given lifestyle". They are beneficial, but also as irrational as any religion before them, and rely on supernatural origin to make them them non-negotiable.
Is there any dietary sources for lithium?

Partner just told me a story she used to put Lithium drops in her friend water (reasoning that after 10 days when it comes to action people usually come to their sense and seek professional help, but it didn't work in this case and friend tried to self healing and eventually relapsed).
The problem is that, as "edgy" as this statement might sound, it's genuinely hard to draw the line between the con and the real thing. This doesn't appear to be qualitatively different from the Church's system of indulgences, to name one example. Religious organizations have a clear incentive to generate money.

At least with science, you can point to actual inventions and innovations that have a measurable and noticeable impact. Religion can and does have a beneficial impact especially in poor regions, but it does so independently of whether its teachings have any particular truth to them.

If the world were reset somehow, you'd end up with a completely different set of religious beliefs that would nonetheless have a similar role as a social bonding agent, whereas you would have a decent chance of the same research being done again if the scientific method does end up being developed in the world.
Depends on what you consider religion, and morals, and I'd still argue it's not necessary. There are many philosophical sects that preach morality or reject the traditional compass that one can believe and internalize. Not all of these are traditionally recognized religions.
Oh, I definitely agree with you here. If it were just as "easy", AWS, GCP or Azure would have done it by now.

Some religions actually discourage reading non-approved content especially things contradictory to their core beliefs. They will also tell you that you are not allowed to be aquantances with non-believers to the point of cutting off ties with your own family. Of course, some religions only teach that men can be allowed to read.
I just explained it - monopoly is not a complex economic principle. When consumers have easy access to multiple competing products or services in a market supply, there is not a monopoly by the definition of the word monopoly. This is semantics, not an argument: https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Amonopoly

It's not well received because, as GP said, people have the opinion that Chrome is a monopoly because they lack the empathy to understand that consumers are choosing something they don't like, and they would prefer it was a monopoly because they want a reason to break it up.

This feels like an argument made by somebody who has never built a serious project in either, and has instead formed an opinion based on quick glance at the respective syntaxes.

To me, Angular is what HTML and the DOM would look like if they had been designed from the beginning for application development:

- Custom elements backed by controller classes.
- Data-binding and event-binding syntax baked into HTML
- Component style encapsulation, on by default.

React seems far more like a project created by people who dislike front-end development: As I recall the genesis of the project was to replace traditional DOM mutation with a more PHP-esque approach of updating state and re-rendering everything, just as you would do on the back-end.
Tinc would be a nice choice for this purpose.

No, that's not at all what "tragedy of the commons" means. What you describe is just run-of-the-mill capitalism, not a "tragedy of the commons."

To be a tragedy of the commons there must be

1) a shared resource (example: the ocean)

2) it must be in an individual's best interest to utilize the resource as much as possible (example: the more fish I catch the more money I make)

and

3) the actions of each individual working in their individual best interest leads to the degradation of the shared resource as a whole for everyone given enough individuals (example: extinction of fish species).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

>The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action. The theory originated in an essay written in 1833 by the British economist William Forster Lloyd, who used a hypothetical example of the effects of unregulated grazing on common land.

>In this modern economic context, commons is taken to mean any shared and unregulated resource such as atmosphere, oceans, rivers, fish stocks, roads and highways, or even an office refrigerator.

I spoke more about the company recently in another thread [1].

The company is called Citieo [2]. We're based out of Michigan. We work with tiny towns (usually less than 10k people, average is about 5500 residents) that have downtowns already built but the majority of their population leaves to spend their money and their time elsewhere.

Our public-facing presence is a digital media outlet (website, app, facebook) for each city we cover, but most of our work is done face-to-face with local business owners, the Chamber of Commerce, and the city government. We see a lot of NIMBY-ism and fear propagated on social media and in outlets like Next Door/Citizen/Neighbors, and we want to foster a real life community in your real life downtown. Outdoor, face to face.

We still have a lot of work to do (a lot of work) but we're a pretty small organization working as hard as we can with not a lot of money.

This is true. However when a country is sufficiently developed it may no longer need religion. The functions that the Church used to provide (education, healthcare, charity) will be taken over by the State.

Looking at my own country many people simply feel that they have no need for religion. Instead of going to church on Sunday why not watch Netflix in bed?

> I've been slowly working on a backend for a web app in Rust

I'm interested in why you made the choice to use Rust for a web app? It feels like you love a good challenge, but there are obviously technical constraints for some apps. I look around and wonder if the options have really changed a whole lot since 2006?

If you need productivity, choose Ruby or Python (or maybe JS.) Java and .NET exist if you have more exacting performance requirements (these platforms are somewhat more pleasant in 2019 and I see Go as joining their ranks.) Or, you choose to go really low-level with C/C++, or perhaps Rust in 2019. The latter never seemed like a viable option unless you had extreme performance concerns.
I've met people, ideologically in the intersection of small government conservatism and Christianity, who believe that healthcare is the responsibility of "The Church" rather than the government. Never mind how the 80,000 - 200,000 disparate churches are supposed to operate 1/5 of the economy.
A lot of talk about Svelte in this thread, I guess it's the new FOTM front-end framework.
