More accurately, the country Iran is most rabid enemy of. Its 'most rabid' enemy has never had any claim against Iran - it's Iran which has decided to declare total enmity.

So Iran picks a fight, says it wants to 'defend' itself from the enemy it created (instead of burying the hatchet), and further demands the worlds disarms its opponent to make Iran's work easier.

There are a few loan words in the English language for such behaviour like 'chutzpa'. It makes 'logical sense' only if the world sympathizes with aggression which I don't believe it does.

P.S. Said country has never signed the NPT and is therefore not bound by it, making its possession of weapons still 'legal', unlike Iran which has signed the treaty and is therefore bound by it, even when Iran ignored its own signature.

P.S.S. It would make no sense for such an arrangement to not include Pakistan, which has already taken part in past wars in the area. Weird how nobody notices that. Almost like, the idea was to disarm one side to try to give the other a killing advantage.

Jobs loved unupgradable hardware. What you are seeing now all started under Jobs when he came back. Do you think Jobs would have moved the iPhone/iPad to be more like the Mac if he were still alive or vice versa?

Jobs himself wanted Apple 8-bit computers to have sealed cases. If anything, the latest moves by Apple (the new Mac Pro) shows a trend towards what you want not the other way around.

But I think expecting Apple to become a radically different product company than it's been for the last few decades is asking a lot.

I certainly could've and should've added a lot more context, or refrained from sending off a quick post without giving it more thought.

Just different.

Amazon are playing a very dangerous game with their brand.

I buy a lot of stuff from AliExpress. I know that there's a fair chance that I'll get some kind of junk, but it's cheap enough that I'm often willing to take the gamble.

Until very recently, Amazon offered the lowest-hassle online shopping experience by a considerable margin. I'd often buy from Amazon without bothering to compare prices, because the convenience of one-click ordering was worth it.

Almost entirely because of Marketplace, Amazon is regressing from a premium retail experience to an AliExpress-style flea market. Every time I click the buy button, I worry about getting a counterfeit product, I worry about the hassle of returning it, I worry about getting banned from Amazon by an algorithm for "abusing" their returns policy. Buying from Amazon isn't a no-brainer any more.

Amazon were so very close to having a total monopoly on my online spending, but they squandered it. They could have secured a loyal and price-insensitive customer, but instead they're driving me away from their platform. Maybe they don't care about being a retailer any more, maybe they're all-in on AWS, but if I were an Amazon shareholder I'd be getting pretty damned nervous.

Yes, it's not inherently bad. My main point is that if Chinese imports to the US drop, you would expect less Chinese investment in the US.

Not at all, these are all one-trick poneys and bring you nowhere close to real AGI which is akin to human intelligence.
Rechargeable NiMH cells have a voltage of 1.2v, and stay pretty much at that voltage until they're flat. Alkaline (and other disposable) cells start at 1.5v (actually a little higher), and gradually diminish in voltage over they're life. If the appliance requires more that 1.2v, then a NiMH cell will simply work.

In any case, clocks tend to draw a very small amount of power over a longer time, which doesn't tend to suit NiMH cells due to a higher rate of self discharge (eneloops and other similar 'ready to use' rechargeables are much better though)
I see your point, but you're simply contesting the definition of intelligence that I assumed we were operating with, which is humanlike intelligence. Regardless of its extent, I think we would agree that intelligent behavior is consistent. My main point is that the current way we evaluate the artificial agents is not emphasizing their inconsistency.

Wikipedia defines Turing test as "a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human". If we want to consider chimps intelligent, then in that context the definition of the Turing test should be adjusted accordingly. My point still stands: if we want to determine whether a chimp exhibits intelligence comparable to a human, we do the original Turing test. If we want to determine whether a chimp exhibits chimplike intelligence, we test not for, say, natural language but for whatever we want our definition of intelligence to include. If we want to determine whether an artificial agent has chimplike intelligence, we do the second Turing test. Unless the agent can display as consistent an intelligence as chimps, we shouldn't conclude that it's intelligent.

Regarding your point on weak measures: If I can find an endless stream of cases of failure with respect to a measure that we care about improving, then whatever collation of weak measures we had should be null. Wouldn't you agree? I'm not against using weak measures to detect intelligence, but only as long as it's not trivial to generate failures. If a chimp displays an ability for abstract reasoning when I'm observing it in a cage but suddenly loses this ability once set free in a forest, it's not intelligent.
> We'll still release quite a lot, and those releases won't look any different from the past.

I don’t mean to parse your words, but will you continue to publish using the same exact criteria as before or will there be a new editorial filter?
I also am unaware of any right leaning public universities to check. But that kind of makes my point. The left controls the public universities in a way that the right doesn't, and uses them (in at least some cases) to block speech by the right. The right may be just as willing to block speech as the left, but they don't have the opportunity to do so right now. Ergo, if you want to address the problem, right now you need to address the left.

I hold public universities to a higher standard than private ones in this regard. It's more acceptable in my view for a private university to have a bias (either left or right), and to enforce it, than it is for a public university.
> This is the ideal use case for react context.

Not really. React.Context solves the global availability bit but it does not scale with the size and complexity of your data. You'll end up building a custom Redux store inside your Context anyways, except now with an uglier API and no devtools.

Alternatively, you could just use a bunch of independent React Contexts, but that becomes unmanageable quickly especially if the Contexts are interdependent.

> Redux doesn't address these problems specifically, but I'd be curious to understand why you think redux is of particular value for them.

The action/reducer model is a very natural way of modeling it. The business logic and data fetching layer is completely disjoint from the actual data store. We can simply describe what happened -- hey, we tried to post this data, this request succeeded, but this one failed and here's the error message -- and then let the reducers decide how that updates their state, if at all. It makes it much easier to refactor code and add new features, especially when they can just hook into existing actions.

Even if I didn't use Redux -- and to be honest I don't love the API sometimes -- I would follow the Redux patterns. When done well it's a really seamless way of managing data that would otherwise be a lot of ugly business logic spaghetti.

> have mentored about two dozen developers on react and redux projects over the past three or so years, I've learned this lesson the hard way.

If you're mentoring novice developers I don't doubt the apps they were working on didn't necessitate Redux. It's a powerful tool but it comes as a price, which is why as much as I like it I avoid recommending it to people (especially junior developers) unless they have a really good case for it.
Ask HN: Does anyone use monday.com? Is it better than the others?
monday.com must have a lot of marketing dollars. I've been seeing their ads all over the place: display, youtube preroll, outdoor, subway, etc.

The interface they advertise looks really clean and simple. almost too simple.

I've used all the project management tools in the past: trello, jira, pivotal tracker, basecamp, clubhouse, asana, etc. and to be honest they all kind of do the same thing.

I've found that the make or break factor in all these tools is the human component. Is there someone or someones in your org who takes ownership of managing the tool and keeps everything organized? Does the team all buy into it and use correctly? Does the team use it for communication around projects or do all the real conversations happen in slack?

To me all these tools are so far away from being a silver bullet and yet they're all advertised as if they are a silver bullet.

So has anyone used monday.com? How is it different?

Also, why do new companies keep going into this space? It just seems like a commoditized product with different marketing strategies / target demos.

On top of that, truthy values also propagate, so if isDelivered or isNotified are something else that's truthy (such as a 1 from mysql), isDone will not be True either and risk failing in more interesting ways down the line.

>Also the Soviet Union was winning most of the relevant milestones in space (first satellite, first animal in orbit, first human, first woman, first space walk, etc), and this was a great source of national pride. Beating them had great propaganda value.

I would rather say that the Soviet Union was winning the irrelevant milestones, precisely for the propaganda value. First woman in space means nothing, really - you put a woman on your spaceship, wham, easy win. The moon landings forced the USA to tackle real engineering challenges - rendezvous and docking, piloted spacecraft and piloted orbit changes, functionally useful EVAs, keeping humans alive in space for long periods, etc.

> Of course it is trading one assumption for another.

Why "of course"? If would only be "of course" if it were impossible to derive the second law from Newton's laws. AFAIK that hasn't been proven impossible.

But I think you may have misinterpreted my objection. It's not that I object to substituting one axiom for another in general. That can often represent progress. For example: before Einstein, it was observed that inertial mass and gravitational mass were very close to each other, lending considerable weight to the reasonableness of assuming that they were in fact the same. It turns out that you don't have to assume this. There's another set of axioms that allow you to prove this, and these axioms are "better" because they provide a much larger scope of explanatory power for the same axiomatic price.

By way of contrast, Turing machines and the lambda calculus are "the same" in some deep sense that makes it silly to argue about which one is "the right model" of computation.

It's not clear to me whether adopting Liouville really represents progress a la relativity, or whether it's arguing potato-potahto a la Turing vs Church.

BTW, it just occurred to me that there is a fundamental difference between the thermodynamic and quantum arrows of time: the thermodynamic arrow of time is reversible in a non-isolated system. The quantum arrow is not.
> Now, the code doesn’t depend on the platform name, which might be better in some cases.

Even the author is hedging with "might". This approach isn't going to give you robust portability.
What the State Department (probably, I don't work for them) means is that naturalizing as a United States citizen may be done with no input from a person's other country of citizenship. Contrast with, for example, Germany, wherein a naturalization certificate may not be delivered to an applicant before the applicant shows that he or she affirmatively renounced any other citizenships or received permission from the German government to proceed with naturalization absent that step being taken.
Not much, but it's not like trading is expensive these days. IBKR usually charges me 1 dollar per transaction, unless I trade many thousands USD worth of securities at a time. Improvements (of which there may be none) should be in the same ballpark.

I could explain it to you in an afternoon. But I’m not going to do it online, because then you have a thousand people call you “delusional”, because you simply are stating that exponential processes are going to continue. For some reason, many people who think themselves rational and scientific believe that things that have been going exponentially are suddenly going to go linear. To me, that is delusional.

It's interesting that a lot of people in this thread seem to assume that the end-goal of remote working becoming mainstream and some inherent sense of fairness is that everyone ends up being paid SF wages in the end. But basic economic theory says that if remote working becomes the new standard, you should expect the salaries between high and low COL to average out. So somewhere between SF and an Asian sweatshop... let's say a Berlin developer salary. That's not great for the SF developers, and also why SF is one of the last places I would expect remote work take off.

Companies that want to hire remotely rarely publish wages online for this exact reason. They get called out for being "cheap" and "I can make X times more in SF". Yes, but most companies in the world are not looking for and can not compete for SF developers with the FAANGS in the first place. When the company is not in the Bay Area, them posting a non-SF salary is not trying to screw you over, hiring you was never on the table. Unfortunately they cannot say simply that in the job ad without calling down an epic shitstorm.

Obviously these are fuzzy terms, with different definitions based on who you ask. I would say left and right are two different approaches to the project of small-l liberalism; left wants to move rapidly and make high-risk/high-reward changes, while right wants to move more cautiously and not risk eroding previous wins of stability and liberty. (That's setting aside personality and "moral matrix" differences somewhat, as described by Haidt and Lakoff, and focusing instead on the historical tension between the two political cultures in the context of 20th/21st-century American democracy.)

The actual alt-right (exemplified by Richard Spenser, Jared Taylor, etc) are those who stand in opposition to classical liberal principles, even if it's more measured and nuanced than historical ethno-nationalism ("race realism", etc).

(As an aside, I've always enjoyed Noam Chomsky's assertion that he's "one of the few real conservatives out there", in his staunch defense of Enlightenment principles, civil liberties, opposition to state violence, etc.)

That said, left and right have been drifting apart for the last 20-40 years, and having a harder and harder time finding common ground, as political party identity becomes more salient than American identity. On paper, we agree on certain shared values; yet when one tribe is asked what the other thinks, they're often convinced that the opposing tribe does not share those values whatsoever.

I suggest you do an experiment, and try it on some companies you don't care if you get an offer or not.

Do 10 interviews. 5 of which you hide this fact to the best of your ability, and the other 5 embrace it as a positive part of your history.

You don't have to wait for a call back, you should just be able to read the interviewer's expression as you tell him this.

And again, it depends upon how you sell it. If you sell yourself as "damaged goods", you probably won't get an offer. If on the other hand you sell yourself as someone who has "overcome" a terrible life story, it might work in your favor, and you never know, it might open doors you wouldn't expect to open.

If you're the sort of programmer who enjoys configuring your tools using lisp and devoting a bit of time to it then there's a happy and productive future for you. If you're not, then I wouldn't bother with Emacs.

But let's stop discussing Org-mode when we're discussing Emacs. You don't have to appreciate Org-mode to appreciate Emacs. Org is a bit of an antithesis to the typical programmer's mindset -- as programmers we value modularity, whereas Org is a vast universe of amazing kitchen sinkery. It's nice for simple TODO lists and its beautiful table editor (available as M-x orgtbl-mode in any other mode).
Definitely Rust is gaining traction as a serious language system alternative to take into account.
