I haven't had the benefit of experiencing optane first hand, but the specs look insane to me. And I completely agree, Intel bumbled the whole strategy for it. And on top of the strategy, the marketing is abysmal, not just for optane but even their processor lines. This video laid out their new 10nm processor naming scheme (https://youtu.be/hzXKDQR_1d4) and at this point it seems malicious. Like they're trying to make it so consumers accidentally get the highest margin chip on the stack by getting a low power 'i7'. Or maybe hope consumers just stop trying to compare between processor skus, or head to head benchmarks against AMD, and instead focus on the brand that is 'intel inside'.

Why support Internet Explorer?

Also the extra element attributes are not 'data-' attributes and will not validate as HTML5.

Webkit/Blink/Firefox on mobile/desktop is all there in the referred to article. Edge is soon to be Webkit so for me the target browser list is not as extensive as for some. IE is depreciated and was never HTML5.

Can we just have this smaller list of browsers, CSS only and HTML5 valid with no warnings?

Apart from that, great work!

Much of this is because of forks - since they offered Bitcoin before the BCH fork (and presumably ETH before the ETC fork), all of their customers who owned one of these before the fork also own the new currency. So they have to support custody for the currencies anyway (unless they want to deal with angry customers saying "What happened to my BCH! Rightfully I own it"), and if they don't support trading they'll get angry customers that say "Why can't I sell my BCH?!?". (This is aggravated by potentially needing to send that BCH off to another exchange, potentially not in the U.S, with worse regulatory compliance, in order to sell.) So most of the work needed to support it has to be done anyway to remain in legal compliance, and it's a small amount of additional work for a large benefit to support trading.
C/C++ is what I started and built my first career on, back when performance mattered for just about every program.

Most .Net languages with the exception of F# which I'm quite curious about.

Haskell, not a popular language in general but in this circle. I still haven't bought into the value of building abstractions and abstractions upon that, and abstractions that let those abstractions play nice together. Ultimate yak shaving with a practical twist if you can pull it off. Seems too far removed for most problems I'm interesting in solving. Less higher-kinded functional langs (Clean, Elm), bring 'em.

Any ORM DSL. SQL is just fine.

Any version of ES20xx that's incompatible with TypeScript.

Scala. Tried it, abused it, went back and couldn't even read my own writing. I think it could be good in the right hands, those being someone who can design good languages for humans to use for each purpose. I haven't met many of them, mostly folks who just want to make a DSL using any/every feature available to do so.
Impossible burgers aren't available to consumers.

Note that that's not necessarily better than other veggie burgers, just closer to beef. IMO Impossible is even still closer to beef, and also the best burger I've ever had.

Of course not every remake has sparked the same level of outrage, and it’s not always directed at the CGI. Aladdin took flak because they replaced Robin Williams’ Genie with Will Smith, and he wasn’t expected to be as good.

> All major Chinese companies began as state owned enterprises

Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Ctrip, JD.com and dozens of other major Chinese Internet companies did not begin as state owned enterprises.

They were all born during the prime years of Deng's philosophy holding sway over how the Chinese Government implemented economic policy. At one point Yahoo and Softbank owned about 80% of Alibaba as an example. The state had very little applied control over the company until the Xi era. China's system today is not the same as China's system in 1999. There was far more freedom in the system of 20 years ago, including in regards to corporate independence and speech online.

This is actually very difficult. The data has to be sourced from somewhere, which would be the airlines. The airlines have fragile backends that cannot handle much load. As a result, Google has to be very selective in their query volume, so they try to cache intelligently.

The result is that sometimes the information they display can be out of sync with airlines. You should notice this issue more on rarer flight routes.

It isn't clear to me if this is necessarily a bitter pill as much as a possible direction for education reform. If unsophisticated bots are able to efficiently disseminate information to a wide audience, would it be possible to (using analogous techniques) vastly decrease the cost and increase the scalability of public education?

The argument appears to be that we need more emotion and intuition, and less facts and data. It's absurd, and quite scary. I have never made a good decision while in an emotional state, and my father warned me about doing so in my teens; though he was too subtle for me to get the point being made.

Still, I react to extremist rhetoric on HN with vitriol that is often unhelpful. During Obama's admin, I was actively flagging political content, and the extremist stuff was kept at bay.

It is not true that all major Chinese companies began as state-owned enterprises. Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu etc. are all private. They were started by their founders and funded by VC money. For instance, Alibaba was started by Jack Ma and 17 others. It is privately-owned by shareholders, none of which is state or government[1]. For some other industries such as banks, railway, oil etc., it is different. They are mostly state-owned. But tech is not one of them.

Ouch. This hurts. This is my problem exactly. I have two bookshelves full of programming books that I’ve never completed, and yet each morning I spend at least 30 minutes on Amazon reading the TOC of whatever new programming books they’re recommending to me. Imagine if I instead spent that time reading the books I already have. Just simple math shows that would be 180+ hours of learning per year. But my biggest problem is simply deciding where to begin. Which book do I read? As silly as it sounds, that is very often exactly what paralyzes me. I struggle to just pick one and commit to it.
Also, scanning Wikipedia, North Korea's suicide rate in the top ten of nations but only about 1.5 times that of the US (where despair is also reputed to reside).

>social ownership of the means of production

Slightly off topic but can you clarify what 'social ownership' means, exactly? I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks now. I just ask since you seem to know.

Wikipedia says, "The two major forms of social ownership are society-wide public ownership and cooperative ownership." What's the practical difference between 'society-wide public ownership' and government ownership? The government is supposed to represent the people.

What's the practical difference between 'cooperative ownership' and corporate ownership? A corporation is just a group of shareholders, often including millions of individuals and employees of the company.

e.g. In America the government owns parkland, and people can use it. Is that 'social ownership' of the parkland? Or 'government ownership'? What's the difference?

e.g. In the West, many corporations are owned by millions of shareholders. Sometimes the majority of ownership is ultimately from small shareholders, largely through pension funds. Is that 'social ownership' or 'corporate ownership'? What's the difference?

What are some existing, real, sustained examples of 'social ownership' in real history?

I feel like this term is either super general and not particularly meaningful, or it's one of those cases where the definition changes according to the argumentative needs of the moment, or it's just a euphimism for government control without a practical difference.
I'm Korean: I didn't downvote GP, but honestly the argument doesn't look good.

Korea used to be a highly sexist/Confucian country for the past several centuries (and still is, to a degree). Confucianism are Taoism are about as much feminist as Christianity and Islam, that is, you can make them look feminist if you want. They are all ancient philosophies practiced by diverse peoples. Something is bound to sound feminist if you look hard enough.

Besides Korea is not exactly a threatened Amazonian tribe. It has literate tradition going back ~2,000 years, chip factories, skyscrapers, and idol groups. (I heard some of them are even popular worldwide these days.) There's certainly enough room for non-Koreans to talk about Korea.

* Finally, Do-ol (도올) is a quack. For an expert of traditional Asian philosophy, he always seemed too eager to promote himself rather than, you know, doing actual study of the values he's supposedly an expert of. Doubly ironic, considering how much traditional Confucian philosophy despised self-promotion. I heard he used to even praise Xi Jinping as an ideal Confucian ruler, so go figure.
Bigger corporations are indeed highly influenced if not outright owned by the state. But smaller businesses like these mom-and-pop shops and young startups certainly are not.

Instead, this soulless chimera of a film comes off as little more than a glorified tech demo from a greedy conglomerate — a well-rendered but creatively bankrupt self-portrait of a movie studio eating its own tail."

Even ignoring the fact that people are more than just cogs in their company's grinder, I don't quite get why you seem to believe it is obviously more important to memorise the method signature of my interns' implementation of leftpad() than what a good book has to offer.

To be entirely honest, the list is actually too narrowly focussed to support my larger point: namely, that lifting you view to the horizon, by sampling from the best that fields as far away from yours as possible have to offer, is about feeding the soul and not just the machine.

Anyway, I've only read about half the books on my bookshelf (but including GED) and that's actually how I like it. After all, books you haven't read are worth far more to you than those you already know.
Nah. There are literally historical and current events you’re not allowed to talk about in China without being arrested and charged with a crime or even disappeared. That’s not an overestimation, that’s the very definition of authoritarian.

> Presumably their acquisition of ITA gave them the ability to respond to queries in real-time which enabled all of the (quite excellent) features you pointed out above.

Perhaps, but I was never impressed with Orbitz during its heyday. I remember watching a Google tech talk* about how hard a problem it is to give the searcher a viable set of options to chose from. However, in my experience, the viable set of options always seemed to include a 23 hr layover with with multiple connections that was $200 cheaper than the nonstop option, and various single connection 1hr layover options about $150 cheaper than nonstop. At the time, both Expedia and Travelocity offered a more reasonable set of options.

* can't seem to find it right now. Will post if able to locate later.
Imagine you go to an online forum and that there is a 99.99% chance that a given message was written by a bot. Imagine further they are sufficiently well written you can't tell from the post itself whether it was made by a bot or not How would people respond to that?

Well the obvious consequence is that you have to stop paying attention to random posts. You have to depend on something outside of the forum itself to find a list of people to pay attention to. That will be your friends and your family. And then it will be whatever media tells you to pay attention to.

Getting out of your filter bubble will be impossible because as soon as you step out you are faced by an onslaught of bots.

Maybe you could travel around IRL and acquire a diverse list of voices that way. But realistically only the elite could afford that.

Actually lets be even more cynical. Say you go traveling, meet someone. You add them on a social network. But it's not them it's a bot. And they get a few bucks for selling your eyeballs.

But then we can even further imagine that you follow them with a fake account too, and so the eyeballs were actually worthless.
I had a simple glance in the console and there are like 20,000 exposed ebs snapshots - available for anyone to copy and examine - I think that's only for a single region too - switch regions to see more.

Amazon should make an emergency decision to make all these private.

Sure it will break stuff but I'd be disappointed if Amazon left what is in effect a security hole open for the sake of backwards compatibility.

They should also give me a single click link when I sign in to show me all of my public ebs snapshots and throw it hard in my face when I sign in to the console so I simply cannot avoid seeing them all.

I have multiple AWS accounts and I just signed in to try to see if I have any public EBS snapshots and then I realised I would need to search every single region in every single account and then select every snapshot one by one to find out. That's a huge problem. I need a single click to show me every exposed snapshot across every region in my account.

UPDATE:

I can't say for sure if this is 100% right but I think if you sign in to your AWS account, then click on each of these links, you will find if you have public snapshots.

Maybe someone else could confirm if this is correct?

This is called the "Lump of labour fallacy". In economics, the lump of labour fallacy is the misconception that there is a fixed amount of work—a lump of labour—to be done within an economy which can be distributed to create more or fewer jobs. [1]
While in fact having older people active and productive actually benefits all age groups and spurs the creation of more jobs.
