Sadly, I think you’re right. Traditional media is hemming and hawing about this mostly because now there is someone else who is doing what they did for so long which was to set narratives with little pushback.

Now they’re losing grip on relevance and they don’t like it one bit.

For a lesson, see their reaction to Richard Jewell vs All The Presidents Men. They like being seen as heroes, even if the facts are stretched, but if they are shown less gloriously, they complain about the fictionalization aspect...
If you want to feel involved: Join a city or state-level campaign (cold calls, knocking on doors, publicity events, etc).

If you want to be involved: Run for a local office (like maybe a city council seat), preferably an uncontested race where a write-in campaign can be effective with minimal ad spending.

If you want to learn: Join the local chapter for a national campaign. Try to get yourself nominated as a delegate.

If you want to cause a specific impact: Be wealthy and donate significant amounts of money to causes you care about.

I've always loved the idea that centaurs sprung up as a reaction of non-horse-riding cultures seeing hunters on horses, though I think our brains mashing together different forms we've seen in nature is explanation enough on its own.

When you say "if a Russian court determines" this sounds like an insult to me. Simply check out how recently lots of people have been convicted for nothing, for a poster, a like, for jogging, for trying to get elected, for a youtube video.

I kindly ask you to stop believing that Russia is a place where unicorns shit with rainbow and courts work. No, they do not. And by not acknowledging putin's terror against us you literally deprive us of a right to become a normal country again one day.

As someone who tries to use Clojure everywhere I can, its very hard to beat Rails for pushing out a webapp (many long Clojure timers share this opinion). Clojure shines for web services that require lots of data processing in the server and for integrating with parts of the Java ecosystem.

I'd imagine similar to all of the other brokerage accounts that allow for fractional shares either via direct purchase or dividend reinvestment purchases. RH's competitor SoFi has had fractional shares for a while now, I would imagine it is set up similar.
OP said “ban non-geographically targeted ads.” Besides, the “long history of being manipulated ... with disastrous consequences” is a [citation needed] assertion. Certainly, the thin support for that position doesn’t overcome the fact that it makes total sense to allow targeting ads by geography. There is no point in Trump running ads in Baltimore, or Warren running ads in rural Virginia.
Some guy on the internet claims this case has no leg to stand on, and the whole reason the office was raided was to scare them into cooperation or revealing useful information.

My guess is that the notification in question was just letting you know that the person who imported your address is on LinkedIn and wants to connect?

It may look like an account notification but I'd think of it as more of an invitation.

It's not that they've connected your work email to the account with your personal email (publicly at least, privately I'm sure they keep that info). And it's not like they're sending any other types of sensitive/account/password reset information to that address assuming it's associated to the account connected to your personal email.

They're just trying to get you to join LinkedIn and connect with a coworker who gave them your work email address – assuming if you already have an account with a different email you'll login with that and connect with said coworker there.
FB are morons. They don't get it. Politics in-itself is fakery and nothing but a con; it's never going to change. What's happening now is that a certain group of con artists who have been having it easy now have some competition and they're not used to anything like this.
- God is all knowing

- God is all powerful

Given the above three, God created the universe knowing he was creating it in a way that said sex traffickers would come into being, and that they would get access to said phones/encryption.

It is literally impossible for the first three items to be true and the consequence to be false. As such, "this gift to sex traffickers" did, indeed, come for God (and Apple).
Indeed. If, as suggested, a backdoor is planted by something like a three letter agency they're not going for mass surveillance or "hacking all the things". It's a very valuable asset that you use wisely, maybe even just once if the target is worth being discovered afterwards.

> Oh noooo, you have to.... handle errors coming out of API's you consume. What an imposition... It must be terrible to be you, always having to write code to handle when things don't go exactly down the happy path.

Do you really think this is a conversation about never wanting to handle errors, or is that sarcasm as a convenient way of getting out of actually thinking during the discussion?

Good specific HTTP status codes from the application layer help the client sort errors by type before they have to parse specifics. Or in cases where the client may not even have been prepared for the specifics.

Have you really never found a software situation where it's useful to know what the type of error is before you get into the details?

If that's the case, you definitely shouldn't be anywhere near API design.

No, it could be a third variable or it could even be that women avoiding STEM somehow increases gender equality.

But regardless of the cause, if there is an inverse correlation then pursuing gender parity in STEM is at best a huge waste of effort and at worst counterproductive for all parties involved.

The graph in the article doesn't look too far removed from a cloud though, so I question the strength of the correlation.

Last night on Twitter, someone said "Nearly every entrepreneur I talk so says hiring is their biggest challenge. The world is starving for competent people with a strong work-ethic."

This is of course false. The world is not starving for competent people. It's starving for high-status resumes. If those resumes are attached to people who are competent or hard workers, that's a bonus.

The high-status resumes without that affiliation will be no less effective; their associated human will no doubt wash out of a series of roles when it becomes clear that they're neither "smart" or "gets things done", but in most of the industry it takes so long for that process to run to completion that resume status accrues to those failed roles, and those people have an easier time finding their next role, failing upwards until one assumes they reach management somewhere and perpetuate the cycle.

Erin, Patrick, and I tried to do a company to exploit this phenomenon and it was not a success; even the smartest, most engaged teams we worked with were a brick fucking wall when it came to resume status filters. So much so that I was happy just to walk away from it and work with some friends to boot up another company that hires in a more effective way and exploit the phenomenon directly, rather than trying to end it.

I guess I'm saying I agree strongly with Dan Luu when he quotes me as saying that smaller companies that hire like this are playing to lose.

I conclude with the immortal words of Herman Blume: "Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it."

The challenge is that your Googles and Microsofts don't just make Foos. They make Foos, Bars, Widgets, Whatsits, and everything else. When you're building an all-encompassing tech ecosystem, nearly anything your employees do on their own time could be arguably construed as related to the business.

This! I have said this so many times and all my girl friends hate me for it!

I also believe in gender segregated schools(after HS and at university level). I am not advocating gender segregation but just gender segregated education.

This is only a BS theory of mine..and so I am trying to work it into my hobby fiction writing. Please allow me to test it here for opinions.

I think that in formative years, children should not be gender segregated, but when rubber hits the road at specialized and advanced education, it’s better if there is gender segregation because there is so much competition and rivalary between genders when both are at peak reproductive phase.

I tend to be on the biology trumps/mind rules body/nature vs nurture side of the camp. I believe that there will be equality between the genders and less conflict if they don’t compete with each other in the same space. This might bring out the innate strengths and better intellectual capabilities of both genders because fundamentally they clash and neutralization absorbs the explosion of what good might come out of great human potential.

This is not just in an intellectual setting. Last week I had a voice quivering, temple throbbing, blue vein screaming episode at a guy I hired to do some work. I just lost it.

It’s a constant battle of wits dealing with men that it’s exhausting. It’s even worse than in an office environment because men think the tasks that involve physical prowess is their domain. They simply will NOT take orders from a woman. And it’s exhausting trying to make every instruction sound like a ‘suggestion’. I am running out of time and honestly the man was just using brute strength to achieve what physics could do...

And for every grudging acceptance of my way of doing things, I had to endure dumbass flirting. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. And then after every attempt to puff his chest, I have to listen to him talk about his wife because now he feels guilty for flirting. And it’s stuff I don’t need to hear.

And this is a person I am PAYING to work FOR me. I can’t even wrap my head around it. I had spent another part of my life in office environments and it was just the same. It’s better farming because it’s easier to cut off people if I have the right machine for the job.

I think there ought to be a jobs boards and work spaces for JUST WOMEN. It was the same during my years of education. I went to a co-Ed school and I loved it. My college education was at a nun run women’s only college. And I LOVED it.

> In a function component, we need to think about what values stay in-sync.

So we are removing Classes in favor of Functions.

Something tells me that on the next iteration we will see something like this:

"In a declarative component, we just need to declare what UI elements shall stay in-sync with what items in data model."

And that is precisely what Angular is based on (declarative two way binding).

And the cycle of evolution spiral will be complete.

VB was one of the most popular languages in the 90's and into early 2000's. How did it fall out of favor? Was it because of Microsoft forcing VB into "just another skin" over .NET, i.e., a variant of C# that doesn't have curly braces?

So in that case you are essentially using their products, because their software and services power lots of other services. There are alternatives, I just don't care enough to pursue them. Who cares if someone has tracked my data I like having the internet the way it is.
I agree. I've updated the first point. A lot of this is based on our ever changing knowledge of our history with new discoveries current understanding seems to change almost every day.

It's not so much about them being closely related. Rather it's the idea that a mind so distant from my own, that lived a life so alien from my own drew that. I find that deeply fascinating.

The fact that they are lost to us just makes them seem even more interesting, the fact that we can never really know, we can never really understand why they drew that, why they took the time out of their harsh and unforgiving lives to draw some lines on a wall that one day, a different species would ponder over.

There's a bunch of brokerages offering fractional shares, such as Betterment, Motif, M1, Stash, Stockpile, and others. Schwab has also announced they'll be adding it.

There's also DRIP (Divident ReInvestment Plan) plans, a feature brokerages offer to allow fractional reinvestment of dividends.

Not sure how it's actually implemented as a financial product.

> Various ES features will have different levels of support in different layers, and this is especially tough once you take into account the various transpilers or polyfills, and the big sticking points for me over the past two years have been ES imports and async

New features will have varying support between implementations in any language. You have to take these differences into account even if you're writing frontend-only code.

> I find it completely unacceptable to assume that V8 is running in the browser. In general, I do all of my JS development work in Firefox or Safari, and this saves me a bunch of time checking portability later.

I intend for this to be honest feedback from a consumer perspective, not an attack. I know I don't fully appreciate your business. Thanks for sharing your product with HN!

I can't see how this is any improvement over a drinking fountain. Drinking fountains typically dispense filtered water and the idea of obnoxious advertising on them is disgusting to me. On the other hand, if these machines dispensed a selection of flavored seltzer water I would see the value, probably use them and seek them out and not mind the advertising. I might even buy a reusable water bottle from you that was designed to hold the carbonation. I would be getting something I actually value and can't trivially get for free. I would also be really reducing my environmental footprint since I already drink filtered tap water, but do buy lots of canned seltzer.

Flavored seltzers appear to be big business right now. I have no idea if the unit economics could support it, but on the surface, the flavoring chemicals have to be incredibly inexpensive. Seeing something like this would absolutely catch my attention and I would tell other people about it.

It's an important problem to be working on and I wish you all the luck in the world.

That's a red herring. Continuing education requirements for professionals are a joke compared to what is expected of software engineers by some people in this industry. Had I actually pursued PE licensure after I graduated, I could have fulfilled my CE requirements with 4-5 weekend seminars a year, probably paid for by my employer. I don't think a couple small weekend projects are going to satisfy the people who are expecting open source code to look at.
What are you saying it leaves out? From my reading of the article the only obvious other cause would be that countries with lower gender equality also tend to have worse social support systems, which would allow people to pursue their desires more than otherwise - but that still leaves open the question of why those differences affect women more than men.

> If all the other frameworks jumped off a bridge, would yours jump too? :)

That's moving the goalposts. Your point was that Vue invented a new concept and that was a negative. I'm just mentioning how it wasn't an invention at all, it was already a popular concept present in multiple other systems. For people used to templating languages the concept of a slot is not confusing, maybe you just weren't familiar with it?

And it is false to say that JSX doesn't introduce new concepts and rules. The way JS and HTML interact inside JSX is not intuitive at all, and you can't use a lot of JS constructs inside JS, such as `for` loops and `ifs`. Of course there are other ways to solve it, but it's far from intuitive (and the fact that Babel returns "Unexpected token" when you do it doesn't help). For what is worth, passing components inside props in React is also not intuitive, unless someone shows you or tell you it's possible. When you do a few React tutorials you pick it, of course, and that's exactly the same for Vue.js.

Maybe you just find React easier because you learned it first? Maybe do a few tutorial lessons before judging it? Just because something is different or not familiar to you doesn't mean it's worse or is difficult.

Both frameworks are great, there's no need to pit one against each other.
Yes, it's a better pattern, but then the hookophobes would complain that the example artificially inflates the line count by adding a not-strictly-necessary function. I don't think the author is being disingenuous, just trying to keep the examples straightforward.

It doesn't matter anyway. With or without the function, the class example compares unfavorably to the hooks example.
