You're looking for outrage rather than trying to understand point I'm making and in doing so you've gotten the wrong end of the proverbial stick.

I'm not saying everyone should conform, I'm just saying some people need more help than others to make a life for themselves. Sometimes it's because of substance abuse, sometimes it's because of mental, physical or sexual abuse as a kid that leads them into a pattern of bad behaviour. Sometimes it's just circumstances or a mental attitude that is less dramatic than the aforementioned. But in each case it's better to work with them to help enable them to lead happy lives rather than ignore them, outcast them and then incarcerate them because they had nowhere else to turn.

If people are just disruptive because they're smart then they're just disruptive because they're smart. They're not an "at risk" group. By "at risk" we're talking people who turn to crime because they felt it was their only option in life. What I was talking about is supporting them so they realise they do have options. If they then choose crime, well that's then their choice. But in many instances people actually don't want that when they realise they have options in their life.

Ask HN: Self Contained Tutorial for Azure or AWS
I've been having a look at Azure and AWS and done a couple of course focused around Development and Architecture. I'd be interested in something like Troy Hunt describes on his site, just wiring up a few Lambda, function apps or logic apps and services to do something useful. So far I've created some traffic check and weather apps to send notifications but would be interesting to see some best practice suggestions and get some new ideas for projects. So anything free and fairly small/simple would be of interest.
Maybe I've translated it wrong but to me it read like it was based on the assumption that Google is being perceived or actively trying to be the good guy.

I don't think this is how they do anything anymore. They are not "the good ones" and they will probably do anything that fits into their business model or ideas without any hesitations.
The point is that the people who do use such tools tend to have a derisive attitude towards those who don't, and that the derisiveness is completely unwarranted.
They are not, different oils have just different mix of different fats, determining consistence at different temperatures. Micro-nutrients are overestimated; you do not eat olives or drink olive oil because you want to get "micro-nutrients", like you would not prefer brown sugar to white sugar just because there is a very little amount of vitamins.
Every substance to have a meaningful positive or negative effect has to be in a reasonable quantity.

I use olive oil everyday (I was born in Italy, were it is widely used), but it is dangerous to fry with it, especially the extra-virgin one, because it has not been purified, and you get the known smoke at a lower temperature. This is just to demonstrate that there are different oil for different usages, there is no black and white.
Amazing!

Nice explanation but you seem to be saying that at most 3% (being generous) of DNA would be functional (if the rest is “random noise”). This number is over twice as small as the lowest estimate (~ 8%) of even the most fervent critics of ENCODE’s number. I’d love to hear a brief break-down of your reasons, if possible.
Auctioning the way eBay originally did it is usually sensible where items are unique. Used/vintage stuff, one-offs and rarities, opportunist-oriented bundles...

Selling toilet paper, or USB cables with that sort of bidding model doesn't work. I mean, prices don't need to fixed either. A dynamic bidding system of some sort (eg AdWords auctions) is definitely an interesting idea. But, to be the place where you ship for regular stuff it needs to be lower overhead for the buyer.

That's nothing against eBay's original mission. They did do (not anymore? I haven't tried in years) that job pretty well. I suspect it's still an awesome place to buy a proverbial broken radio.

> we're talking about a trade war that the US started and

> then escalated

The trade war had already started years before it was declared. China has been strategically taking down Western industries and forcing dependence on them. It was only a matter of time something like this would happen.

> what do you expect China to respond?

Either way this will end the same way, both Countries will have to come to some agreement. The only choice is when. China has had an advantage for quite some time and has gotten away with quite a lot (economic trading status, debt traps, stealing of IP, etc), if they struck a fair deal with the US I'm sure they would write it all off.
Technically you are just stating facts, and I do not wish to put words into your mouth, so I am saying this with caution: if you mean to imply that "investing a shit ton into marketing" legitimizes their dominance, then I have to respectfully disagree. Economic might does not make right.
Your proposal for an alternate browser universe sounds sort of like a project I'm working on.

It makes use of a regular browser (Chrome, Firefox) in the backend but provides a customized experience to the user and over the final hop to the user.

It supports a plugin development where you can use plugins to change the page before it is sent over the final hop to the user, and the JavaScript on the page is never executed on the user's machine, but only run in the cloud backend.

I actually built it for webcasting and scraping, and then needed a lower bandwidth access over my 4G connection while oversees so added a plugin to remove everything except for the essential HTML.

I'm actually looking for feedback right now on what to improve next, as I've got 50 issues I found myself but not sure what's most important to others. You can try it on https://staging.litewait.io and use a stripe test card number.

Mail me for issues and I'll try to help you. In profile.
Wow! Thanks for this! This is exactly what I was looking for :)

Some beef patties are ground steak.

Slightly off topic, but what is actually "canola oil". I thought it was just the US name for Rapeseed oil, but the reputation it has in the US seems extremely negative. Rapeseed oil is equally common throughout much of Europe and I've never heard anybody here say anything particularly negative about it here, certainly nobody claiming that it's categorically worse than any other oil.
Breaking up a monopoly requires that said monopoly be bad for society, and it's adverse effects can't be fixed via markets due to reasons like size and reach.

Monopoly in its own is neither good nor bad.

Facebook has a monopoly in social network. Is that bad? What is the effect of the monopoly? Is Facebook's monopoly having an adverse effect, or is the adverse effect inherent in the way social networks work (and breaking the monopoly won't help).

Simply being a monopoly is an unreasonable reason to break it up.
Your comment reads strangely and I can't tell what you're trying to say. I'm not sure why you frame these things as being at odds ("That said... But...). They were willing to pay to bundle Chrome with installers - it's not surprising they also invested in "conventional" marketing. And it directly led to the browser-almost-monopoly you cite.
> How is Sheffield steel an example of rare earth metals?

It's a local (to me) example of China undercutting an industry in order to destroy it and replace it. This is how they achieved dominance in some of the "rare earth" material trading industries.

Tiny off-topic side-not on E4X: it was extremely popular in it's time... for extension author, GM scripters, XULers, anyone who had the freedom to use it without the concern of cross-browser compat. I think its failure was either one of standardisation bureaucracy, or of odd cross-client resistance to implementation, rather than it not being tech people wanted.

> I would say it's remarkable how many standards on the web apparently don't have anything to do with HTML.

I took the thrust of the original comment I responded to above to be giving WHATWG and general living/rolling-spec. process credit for increasing the pace of useful/practical/needed web innovations. I was pointing out that many of the cited examples of useful innovations were created either before WHATWG existed, or at least outside of WHATWG process, and that the majority (admittedly not all) of what the WHATWG has actually contributed has been superfluous cruft. That's the intent of my separating "this is part of HTML5, this isn't". Obviously many things are/can be subsumed into HTML5 as that's where they belong taxonomically, but I'm focusing on inception and what benefit living-standard process brings.
I once had someone knock on the door who was having a heart attack. At first sight he looked like he was drunk. I'm glad I didn't ignore him and was able to help.
Just to add to the explanation, "omakase" is Japanese for "I'll leave it to you". It's relatively common in sushi restaurants to have 2 ways to order - a la carte (or in japanese "tampin") where you choose exactly what you want, or "omakase" where you essentially say, "Give me what you recommend". One of the reasons for this is that there are definite seasons for fish. You can often get certain fish at most times of the year, but in winter it will have more fat, etc, etc. Similarly, the chef knows the quality of the fish that has been bought for the day and knows what's best. If you want the best, then usually you go for omakase, because you, as the customer, don't have a good way of judging the quality of the fish for the day. In some restaurants you even just say how much money you want to spend and the chef will try to fill you up with the best possible fish for the price.

The parallel, of course is that you can choose a language or framework that provides you with a lot of choice, but where you need to have have a corresponding amount of expertise in order to make good choices. Or you can choose a language or framework that is designed to more or less work out of the box without you needing to understand all of the details.

Where I think it breaks down is that in a sushi restaurant, ordering "omakase" every time you go will result in a completely different experience each time -- all tuned to give the absolutely best possible experience from an objective perspective. "Omakase" in a framework gives you a homogenised experience which will bring you up to a particular baseline, but which is almost certainly not tuned for your situation.

Thanks for your kind words! I built this because I want to solve simple animation in a simple way. In fact, there is no way I can compete with those big animation libraries out there, they offer tons of feature.

Do you know of any resources with examples of good "alt" attributes? I (not a web developer) never know what's important to put there, or how much.
I've lived my early childhood though USSR (Latvia; born in 1979), and have been to relatively recently remodeled hospitals on multiple occasions for an extended stay. Plaster and paint easily fell off, tiling was irregular and often cracked, walls were never straight or evenly plasered, bed frames already had rust, springs always squeaked. All that said, it was clean, yet because of build quality, standardized pale paint colors, and poor lighting it seemed very used and in need of repairs. It could give impression of being dirty, when watched over TV. 15 years for that type of build quality is a long time.
I wonder why they went with their own proprietary network as opposed to lorawan. Would be good to know what they found lacking. Probably the range due to 915 mhz fcc power limits. 60 miles is very impressive. Also couldn't figure out the data rate.

This will be useful for smaller mines which don't have the funds to install expensive 2.4 ghz mesh nodes to track and route their trucks.

I'm actually pro nuclear, but I get concerned when I see people downplaying the risks. The only way we can have safe nuclear is if people actually understand and take the risks seriously and put oversight and safeguards in place. E.g. saying that Chernobyl is the "worst that could happen" is just willfully ignorant. Chernobyl was bad but could have been a lot worse.

Even then, nobody even knows or agrees how many victims Chernobyl have claimed or will still claim.

Comparing nuclear-related deaths to the Chinese dam disaster is a bit disingenuous also. China did not have nuclear power in the same time period, so of course no nuclear-related deaths happened. But if China had had enough nuclear plants to replace dams and they had the same amount of construction errors, removal of safety features, bad management and a "once in 2000 years" unforeseen natural disaster - are you sure no nuclear accidents would have happened?

If you just compare absolute numbers, you will see walking is more dangerous than skydiving.
No reason to be skeptical, that analysis is pure shit and dismissible on its face.

The minor issue is the quantifying of developers. The methodology for the 15-20 million figure isn’t clear, but it at least passes some basic sniff test.

What’s completely bullshit is using stackoverflow surveys. There is no reason to believe the respondents of that survey are an unbiased cross section of the 20 million and many reasons to believe they aren’t.

I would totally expect the stackoverflow social 2.0 tech hipster webshit crowd that would fill out that dumb survey to be more likely to use Go. The same with oreilly surveys. Old grizzled grey beards aren’t as likely to fill out publisher surveys on old stable tech.

Also, answering that you have “used” go is not the same as being a regular developer (as noted by one of the commenters there... assembly is more “popular” than Go).

Interesting points.

> They have started automation and have begun an ambitious plan of infrastructure lead development called BRI and countries like Italy has signed up to join the project.

Well the move away from China is not because of costs, but because of politics. Especially companies here (EU) are very worried about the IP theft and protectionist actions. Except if you are Mercedes or BMW, China is likely to copy your product and then push you out of the domestic market through government regulation, at least that's what I hear.
Italy is special. On the one hand, its domestic politics. On the other hand, how meaningful can such an agreement truly be with an EU country?

> China can slowly start dumping US treasuries and stop buying more.

They already do that. But since this strengthens the yuan, isn't there a limit? So far, it did not seem to affect the US very much.

> China can sanction US companies like Apple operating in China.

While China is becoming an important market, it is a luxury market segment so I think Apple would survive. On the other hand, this would probably see all other companies leaving China very rapidly. I think this is the most realistic outcome, but I'd see China losing in the long run.

> China can start bilateral trade agreements with other countries and use it's financial clout to demand de-dollarization and move international trade to a more neutral currency like the IMF SDR.

What effect should that have except decrease Chinese exports and an increase in US exports?
The EU does not do real aka meaningful trade agreements bilaterally. Anglo-Saxon countries would neither. For all other countries, China has been trying to expand its influence since the last five years, at least. They have had success in Africa, but have gotten a bad reputation from it.

> China can invade Taiwan.

I don't see that happening. If Japan, Korea and the US would defend Taiwain's sovereignity, that war would be over very quickly.
And with Trump, would you really want to gamble?

> China can refuse to honor sanctions against North Korea

That is true and we have seen Trump trying to fix the NK situation for that reason. However, I feel like the impact would be rather small. I think we have seen that Kim does not really want nuclear weapons just because. If Trump would have lifted sanctions, he'd probably get rid of them.

I guess I shold have asked whether there is any recourse which would damage the US more than China.

It's nearly impossible to mine lanthanides in the west. The problem is that they are invariably associated with thorium, and thorium has been declared (in 1980 or thereabouts) to be a source material for nuclear explosives, even though it really isn't. Nobody wants to deal with the regulations around that, so all the lanthanide mines and refineries closed.

A friend of mine once read the local newspaper while he was on vacation somewhere, and there was a half-page article along the lines of: "Among the fans expected to show up for tomorrow's big sporting event are a large contingent of the country's worst hooligans. The police plans to increase its presence massively to ensure peace, with no less than eight extra officers."

My friend decided to move there. Maybe you should too. You do gain a certain peace of mind from being able to open your door without risk or trouble.

I think the ecological collapse will be avoided, I take as example South Africa and the water crisis [1]. They predict the day 0 (out of water). As the day get closer, everyone started to ratiocinate the water, everybody realized that the problem was just ahead of them that the entire community helped and "the day 0" was moved several times.

It seems to me, but I might be wrong that we are procrastinating with global warming till the issue is really close, then the hair of everyone will stand and the entire population will help.

I think progress will be brought by teams, but not necessarily made up of "very high IQ individuals". I think incremental progress and community-driven improvements to technology will gradually take us to a new level of integration with the world and with each other.

At the same time I think we can't imagine too well how this will look like, much like how the sci-fi predictions about the world today were only tangentially correct.
