> What a mess. Product mistakes like this generally show that the company is either desperate, or unaware of their customers.

They were very much aware of their customers. They just didn’t care.

They intentionally decided to break working customer-setups, thinking it was somehow “ok” just because they got a heads-up warning.

Completely disrespectful. I left for Nextcloud, and I’m not coming back.
I have incentives high up in my opinion. There's a huge segment of population that loves to undermine progress or those taking bold decisions. There's an incentive to feed pessimism and of course NYT as a business will tap into that. There aren't many people who will be excited when somebody else makes progress and NYT is just cashing in on it. I don't judge them, its just what it is. I would rather be mindful of their bads and take their goods than impose unreasonably high standards on NYT.
Yep. The Redux "Three Principles" docs page [0] emphasizes the "single source of truth" aspect. It's a good selling point, but has unfortunately led to a lot of folks interpreting that as "you _must_ keep _everything_ in Redux". (Doing so is a valid design decision, and I've certainly talked to folks who deliberately did that to make everything trackable and time-travel-able. But, most UI state probably doesn't need to go in Redux, particularly form state [1].)

In reality, there should be a good balance between global and local state. I wrote a Redux FAQ entry that tries to give some rules of thumb for determining what state goes where [2].

When we do the docs revamp, hopefully we can make that kind of thinking more explicit.

I'd be very interested in hearing more details on any issues you may be having with React-Redux, and I'm happy to offer advice for you or anyone else on using it better. HN comments aren't a great place for that, but please file an issue for discussion or contact me in the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord in the #redux channel.

I'd also greatly appreciate any feedback folks would have on weaknesses with the current docs, so we can improve those issues with the docs revamp.

We've had open issues to cover writing a "Performance" docs page for a long time, but no one got around to contributing that, and there's been too many other higher priorities for us to write it. My React/Redux links list does have a section of articles on improving Redux perf [3], if that helps, and there's an FAQ section on that topic [4]. In general, connect more components [5], and use memoized selectors [6] to read data and do transforms.

I'm not so sure I agree. I don't see anything particularly special about why people believe Alex Jones or polarize to creationism, racism, nationalism, etc. These are all well within the ability of science in all it's forms (biology, history, psychology, sociology) to explain. Their needs are well-quantified and analyzed in any number of papers that have been published. There's nothing new there, except the internet reinforcing existing behaviors in a novel way that wasn't possible before. But the underlying pathologies? They've always been there.

Your suggestion is pure genius. We'll just call it a roguelike and that would explain the 'no save button'. I'll be sure to recommend you at the next 'dark pattern' meeting! /j

As for the latter, if we're going in that direction, we might as well go all the way and implement some COM-like thingy for the web, so users can attach multiple whatevers and work on them in the email. This seems more efficient than turning each email to a unique embedded app which can embed only one type + maybe attachments.

Despite all this being possible in Outlook-land, everyone I'm familiar with prefers opening the attachment and working in a separate window, but I guess some people would rather work inline?
The doctrine of first sale means you can't keep people from reselling your branded products and if you don't offer your products on Amazon at this point others will offer fakes and with Amazons cooperation acquire your customers while offering them cheaper competitors products.

Its a lovely situation to say the least. All strategies are sub optimal. Logically we need a law forcing them to divulge who your actual product is coming from on the page before you buy effectively ending comingling.
There have been various proposals over the years for how to integrate issues and reviews in the distributed git tree itself (http://dist-bugs.branchable.com/software/), but I don't think any of them have really gone anywhere, certainly not in terms of support by the hosted git vendors.

Having looked briefly into it now, git-dit does look promising in its approach. I'd be interested to hear from someone who had actually used it and bumped up against the limitations: https://github.com/neithernut/git-dit/blob/master/doc/datamo...

If you recall the election, nearly any time some foreign leader was asked about Trump/Hillary, their response would be the inevitable 'We are going to work with whomever wins.'

It's absolutely relevant, considering the conclusion of the study was that people feel less satiated after eating a diet high in processed food, thus continue to eat and consume more calories.

SF city has a budget of 9billion dollars ~ and 329,700 households. That gives you a whooping 27,300 dollars of spending per household. They would have to send a bill to every household for 2270 every month to cover their raw expenditures.

They are of course are de facto separate states. This does not change a thing to my previous comment.

'China' is made of the mainland and Taiwan, like 'Germany' was made of East and West Germany.

Really, the mistake of the PRC is to have prevented the use of the official name of what Taiwan is as a state: The Republic of China. That would have nipped all those "Taiwan v. China" narratives in the bud.

I'm curious if anyone with knowledge can speak to how Robinhood sells data to high frequency traders?

This seems to result in a large percentage of their revenue which of course makes sense due to not having commission revenue.

I've also heard some people argue if you're investing a decent amount, you're better off with commissions over market orders on Robinhood. The arguments were the above & that orders can take a much longer time to process. Though I imagine most small investors are not to concerned with either.

Terrible? Not at all.

I'm sorry and apologize if you feel I was one to kill the discussion you wanted to have around AI.

I'm one of those dreamers who think AGI is or at least should be possible, soon, through means we have not yet discovered but will, soon. I base that on absolutely nothing, I suppose, other than the fact we have lots of "bright/smart/crazy" devs working on it. It's my own personal "believie", as Louis CK would say about things we believe in but cannot or care not prove.

Just like you I'm looking at organisms much simpler than us as a way forward. Many specialized neural network does not make up AGI, is what I think. Is it the organic and human neuron we should model? I don't necessarily think so. Also. robotics + ML is a dead end to me. An amoeba that can evolve into something more complex, is perhaps what we should model.

Would be great to see a factor breakdown (obviously hard). I can see several reasons why processed food leads to this result: chemically better tasting (optimal flavor blast + salt/falt), mentally better tasting (i.e. comfort food), or some deeper gut reasons?

because this then sets the agenda for how we fix this problem.

Sharing React Code Between Web and React Native: Why and How [Affinity Blog]
But human intelligence is weird. It's not clear to me that increasing the speed of my brain would really accomplish much in my day-to-day life. A lot of the value that I add happens during these 'Eureka' moments, often triggered when I am working on a different problem, taking a break, or after a good nights sleep. Adding more processing speed may or may not make that process more scalable.

And another thing to consider, is that in the real world success is not easy to define and it is only loosely correlated with intelligence. We have 7 billion people, each attempting random little variations on 'succeeding at life'. And the 'winners' generally require that some of the 7 billion people agree to 'reward' them (i.e. by giving them money). My last 3 purchases were watermelon seeds for my garden, a pair of jeans, and a dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. It's not clear to me how AI would take over any of those transactions. Maybe make the jean manufacturing more efficient, but the price I paid was already pretty low.

"Conventional wisdom holds that you should never rewrite your code from scratch, and that’s good advice."

Speaking as someone who has done a fair number of rewrites as well as watching rewrites fail, conventional wisdom is somewhat wrong.

1. Do a rewrite. Don't try to add features, just replace the existing functionality. Avoid a moving target.

2. Rewrite the same project. Don't redesign the database schema at the same time you are rewriting. Try to keep the friction down to a manageable level.

3. Incremental rewrites are best. Pick part of the project, rewrite and release that, then get feedback while you work on rewriting the next chunk.

That's nice for them, but no matter what OS you're on the desktop client is probably crappier than loading up the webpage, with the one upside of giving you a separate icon in the dock and app switcher.

Even with the performance improved, the "stuff the whole app in one web view" implementation is still showing. Clearly this isn't an Electron limitation; VS Code handles multiple windows just as well as any other text editor.

Slack's desktop client is basically "It's a web browser except worse and with the URL bar hidden." Since chat requires an internet connection and it's not like Slack's desktop version launches particularly fast, I'm not sure that it does anything better than using a browser.

We'll see if they support multiple instances on iOS 13. If they do, maybe we can get a Mac version based on that for something closer to native desktop behavior.

Getting from the moon to earth is trivial when compared to launching anything from earth. Using some back-of-the-envelope calculation a Atlas B ICBM from 1959 has enough fuel and thrust to deliver over 5 tons of warheads from the moon to earth. If you launched from the far side of the moon I imagine early warning and interception aren't on the table with 1960/70s tech, providing excellent first strike and second strike capability.

Of course actually getting ICBMs on the moon is a whole other endeavor.

>That's a very big if...

Oh, this is indeed a big if. A large, looming aspect of the problem is we don't anything like an exact characterization of "general intelligence" so what we're aiming for is very uncertain. But that uncertainty cuts multiple ways. Perhaps it would take 100K human-years to construct "it" and perhaps just a few key insights could construct "it".

> Also, I'd argue that most progress happens not because of some brilliant people, but because of many people working together...

The nature of a problem generally determines the sort of human-organization one needs to solve a problem. Large engineering problems are often solved by large teams, challenging math problems are generally solved by individuals, working with published results of other individuals. Given we're not certain of the nature of this problem, it's hard to be absolute here. Still, one could be after a few insights. If it's a huge engineering problem, you may have the problem "building an AGI is AGI-complete".

> Then if your AGI only reaches the level of intelligence of humans and maybe a bit more (what does more even mean in terms of human intelligence? more emphatic? faster calculation ability?

I've heard these "we'll get to human-level but it won't be that impressive" kinds of arguments and I find them underwhelming.

"What use would more memory be to an AGI that's 'just' at human level?"

How's this? Studying a hard problem? Fork your brain 100 times, with small variations and different viewpoints, to look at different possibilities, then combine the best solutions. Seems powerful to me. But that's just the most simplistic approach and it seems like an AGI with extra-memory could jump between the unity of an individual and the multiple views of work groups and such is multiple creative ways. The plus humans have a few quantifiable limits - human attention has been very roughly defined as being limited to "seven plus or minus two chunks". Something human-like but able to consider a few more chunks could possibly accomplish incredible things.
They're buckets, it's 6 or more teams ("6+") not 6.

The only one that doesn't make sense to me is _2 teams_. Unless they had some specific hack to reuse processes for a 2nd team, how can the incremental memory usage of that 2nd team be almost nothing?

Thinking about it, though- separate teams were lazily loaded and the usage behaviors of people with different numbers of teams probably varies substantially enough to cause these artifacts. e.g. I imagine this is "3-5 teams logged in" not "3-5 teams actively loaded".

Earth is a good place to develop and simulate but at one point we need to put this into practice and learn a lot in the process.

Also curious about the 3 vs 2 on the left. For 6, it says 6+, so maybe that is a mean that could include outliers with tons of active workspaces.
The money spent on Apollo would support a large number of robotic missions, including sample return. And they could visit a bunch of different areas.

My two thoughts, it's not just electric cars that have tracking spying capability, it's most new models. Especially higher end ones.

What I think is the number of new electric car models will increase dramatically in the next two years. At some point as battery prices drop EV's will hit price parity with gasoline/diesel cars. I'd expect you then see more bare bones cars, which are less likely to have tracking.
Enjoy price matching while you can. Nobody price matches craigslist for example and as Amazon trustworthiness dives towards craiglist levels one wonders if said policies will continue.
Engineers at google can make way over 200k in salary and even more in total compensation. Given these guys were over 40, and many of them likely seasoned it is likely they would have made way more than the numbers you are suggesting.
But the research project exists to inform future changes in their hiring practices.

It's quite likely Automattic already tries to discriminate in hiring because they mention their "strong focus on metrics" along with their amusing puzzlement that merely demanding more women and trans people be hired didn't automatically make it so. They certainly want discriminatory outcomes.

That said I agree with what you write. I'm not sure explicit age discrimination is common though. It may appear to be happening but is often other things, nobody is actually deciding they don't want older people. Age discrimination against young people, that's common (e.g. young people not being allowed to be CEOs, like Larry Page). Not necessarily bad but common. Gender discrimination against men I've seen a bunch of times, and it's explicit. People say "we won't hire men".
