I am a solo developer whose productivity in designing webpages grew massively thanks to Tailwind. I love design but had always dreaded to touch S/CSS. I always had these CSS property (how exactly does x get defined?) questions as well as architectional (where do i put the classes and how to order and name them?).

With Tailwind, I can quickly translate what I want to see into class names: Blue button with white text and shadow on hover? <class="bg-blue-500 text-white hover:shadow">! The grammar is so simple that you will know 80% of the utility classes after a couple of hours. Some critics say that you loose consistency, but that does not happen to me as I use components (Vue, Laravel, Tailwind config) whenever I feel that I have a lot of repeating patterns.
This can't be answered with any conviction. By that logic, we can be apply this infinitely many times: from the aliens perspective, they are also not aware of other aliens that know about their existence

So neoliberal causes like LGBT issues and immigration really are a bigger issue to you than worker’s rights?

Democrats are, in my view, the worst party in terms of focus and connection with the average voter right now. Wages have been stagnant for 3 decades for everyone, and somehow this is completely lost on the party. Instead they are trying to get Trump re-elected by focusing on gun control as a wedge issue. Focusing on worker’s rights or really any liberal cause besides protecting classes would make me much more likely to vote democrat. Not that I don’t think that everything is fine on those fronts, only that I think women’s/LGBT/immigrant rights should take a back seat to things like wealth inequality, worker’s rights, and global environmental health.
You make a good point about how to actually enforce this. Apparently, Washington state did ban political ads on Facebook. As a testing ground for such a policy, the results haven't been great.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/31/20941917/twitter-politic...

HOWEVER, this appears to me as a regulation failure. We know Facebook doesn't want the ban, so their motivation to comply is limited to the clarity and sharpness of the teeth of the legislation. And they aren't very sharp.

Regarding:

> Twitter hasn’t actually banned political ads, they’ve just used a definition that makes it easy for them to claim to have done so.

I don't agree with painting Twitter as just wanting to "claim" they have done so. They appear to be making a true good-faith effort. Check out their policy:

https://business.twitter.com/en/help/ads-policies/prohibited...

https://business.twitter.com/en/help/ads-policies/restricted...

> Is an ad for a climate change organization a political ad? How about an ad for UBI? An ad for a local Catholic Church? An ad about farming subsidies? An ad for birth control?

For each of these examples, there is a clear way to apply their policy based on the content of the message. Is it perfect? Probably not. Will it totally kneecap political ads (by 80%+)? I believe it will.

> All of these are one step away from direct advertisements for candidates and are very political topics for many people.

I would argue that your point is too academic. If political ads are reduced by 80%, even though there are still political-adjacent ads (that aren't funded by a political group and don't reference a candidate or initiative), then the policy would be a wild success.

A head injury that results from speed or post-strike collisions is still recorded as a "cyclist head injury" so I don't think your points change the numbers.
I don’t think this should be downvoted. The facts are the facts. It’s also the case that even 1 shooting is a tragedy and should give us pause for how we can fix it (whether that is gun control or something else).
You also have to make the deposit amount high enough to convince people to use the mechanism.

It's a simply fantastic car. 18 months and 25k miles on ours. Everything else just feels silly. Having to wait for the engine to warm up to get cabin heat. Having to press buttons on keys or remember which driver has the keyfob. Having to stop for gas.

The always on/always connected/always ready to go thing is just amazing.

Every time I see something else I lust after (RS5, RS6 avant, the XC90 in that pretty blue with the silver mirrors..) ... I just wonder how I could ever spend such an insane amount of money on such an outdated technology.
Yep, I laughed the other day when I saw an article in WSJ that was talking about a billion dollar business responsible for putting drug ads in doctors offices. That billion dollars is coming from somewhere and I think I have a good idea of where.
If that's the case then they can enjoy paying my refund, just like Blizzard did way back when.
That anecdotal interaction is extremely damning for the entire US healthcare system. Physician admits she prioritizes practice revenues over patient outcomes. Other physicians express similar preference. Inventor of useful tool tosses it into the mothballs.

That tool isn't just a physician aid. If that's what doctors are really doing, it's more like a physician replacement. If they won't do evidence-based medicine, and prefer to be legal drug dealers, for profitability reasons, we should all be contributing to the creation of the auto-doc, instead of trying to help them.

That $40k would have been better spent lobbying to remove the guild protections from the practice of medicine.

If all general-practice docs do is take height, weight, pulse, BP, blood oxidation, and run a CBC with lipid panel before prescribing your drugs for the year, that doesn't seem like something only an MD or NP could do. But by law, if you want prescription-only medicines, you have to go to a prescription-drug dealer and pay them for the scrip, before going to pay someone else, again, for the actual drug.

And if they're not actually doing (what I perceive to be) their jobs? If they're just "phoning it in" to collect a paycheck? That's one job I'd love to automate out of existence.
Thank you for taking the time to look through the post. When I learned this formally it was introduced as steepest descent (Cauchy's variant). Like yourself, it didn't become concrete to me until I looked at the surface plots. I concur with your point that it's interesting to see the different paths people take toward learning the same thing.

I think he should target not WebMD audience, WebMD doesn't provide searchable and visualizable database of trials and outcomes, but more professional crowd: research institutions and universities, government, pharma corps, pharmacists, hospitals, and charge some subscription fee (e.g. $200/m), and it would be totally different story.

Add a security team on top of that. Unless I'm a crypto expert, it's unlikely that I'll use some DIY password manager on my desktop. Also agree that browser support is quite a major reality of password managers today. Unless you can do that, you're basically a "secrets storage".

"I summarized six strange facts about ‘Oumuamua. The first one is that we didn’t expect this object to exist in the first place"

It's from outside our solar system in origin, so I'd say we are not 100% in predicting what to expect, more so when we still can't get weather forecasts 100% right and get unexpected weather events.

Having gone thru the other `interpretations of observations`, I'd probably not of been as quick to lean down that path of aliens. Indeed, whilst it is unusual, comparing it to the known and as such, objects originating in our solar system will see conflicts like orbit, speed, direction, shape and composition. I'd also say it's strange shape would play more a factor in the variance of how light is reflected back and be more logical an explanation of its variance from the `norm`.

Besides, for all we know, `aliens` may view a lifeform like us in the same way we view bacteria. So the question would be, if Aliens found us - would they care.

But is this an alien probe - I'm sure many would love it to be so, but as it stands, feels a bit too reaching from what I read.
[EDIT type o's]
From a business standpoint, saving lives can actually be expensive. The longer someone lives, the more healthcare they consume.

Health insurance companies are very aware of this, which is why they so frequently deny coverage for various life-saving cancer treatments. If you die while waiting for treatment, not only do they save the cost of the treatment, but also the entire cost of ongoing screening / care during remission.
I am a stereotypical backend developer with little experience implementing custom design, before Tailwind I was using stock bootstrap.

I am building my first product using this tool and after I get over first hurdles everything went smoothly. Tutorials on their homepage are pure gold and helped me going. Also take a look on youtube channels of Tailwind authors (Refactoring UI), those are great.

In conclusion I am glad I've taken some time to learn basics, it took me maybe three or four afternoons and now I'm as productive as in Bootstrap + my designs look much much better.
Why the New 'Star Wars' Trilogy Was Doomed from the Start
Is it just me or does the interviewer come across as weirdly adversarial in this piece?
I don't disagree with your feelings. Those are totally valid (even if my feelings about it are different than yours.)

I'm just suggesting you might want to take some time to be introspective. Personally, I read many of your comments as emotionally charged personal opinions rather than 'rational thoughts for discussion'.

I'm not going to invalidate what you feel, but I do suggest that you might not be effectively translating those feelings into rational discussion points as much as you think you are?

It is a strange object but when you call it scout/messenger aren't you already very biased?

Voyager 1 is sending data we could never predict so how unlikely is it that this is the first object that will give us new info about space?

I understand we must be open for every option but to me it is more likely that we are learning new laws of space than that we are found by aliens.

Incorrect, FairFight is their in-house solution and this is the only tool that they use client-side for Battlefield V[1]. They've dropped the third-party PunkBuster anticheat tool since Battlefield 1.

Other EA games use other anticheat tools for example Apex Legends uses Easy Anti-Cheat[2], which is much more efficient to track and ban cheaters.

> And TBH you're complaining about 380 people which is a drop in a bucket compare to the number of players on that game

The Firestorm mode has so few players now (I estimate 3-10 games running in parallel in the world depending on the time) that it has a huge negative impact on the game. You only need 1 cheater in a game to ruin it for everyone else.

Well, my friend's S7 cracked itself overnight. My S4 cracked twice due to dropping it on the floor, both times I had the screen replacement. My current S7 fell frequently, but is still mostly intact. As far as I can tell, everyone in my immediate family cracked their smartphone at least once over past few years.

Beyond dropping, as far as I can tell, there are two other common causes of screen breakage. One, sitting on it (a lot of people carry their phones in their back pockets, which is something I cannot understand; beyond accidents, this makes them vulnerable to pickpocketing). Two, women sometimes crush their phones in their purses (especially when they are in hard covers that act as levers when an item gets between it and the cover).
Almost any tech heavy ETF such as XLK or VGT will get you there. 10 year yearly returns are over 15%. For less risk, you could do a total stock market index like VTSAX (10 year returns around 13%.) Nothing is guaranteed or "continuous" though. This is less risky than investing in a single, private company that probably has little liquidity.
When they become indistinguishable then it isn't so much of a problem anymore. Because there's no effective difference to you, the other player, between the opponent being a cheater and the opponent being really good. When they're hard, but beatable.

This goes out the window when there are tangible rewards for winning a match, both getting killed, etc.

> non-smokers should not have to pay the insurance costs of smokers

The very idea of insurance becomes toxic when you start to pursue this idea. Everyone has some non-virtuous behavior we can identify in order to exclude them. Maybe your colon cancer is because you didn't eat enough fiber, so we're going to cut you off too.

All of this is why it makes no sense to have multiple "pools" for health insurance, because then it creates incentives for people like private insurance companies or employers to cherry-pick the healthiest people for their pool.

This is a confusing and boring take.

A) You have to trust third parties.

B) It's boring to point out what Google has killed. But when you look at that list there's nothing as substantial as ChromeOS.

Finally, ChromeOS is incredibly widely used internally, and is a revenue generating product in the Chromebook family sold to enterprises alongside Cloud products. It is not an area where Google is going to capitulate or kill without a sufficiently long runway and carefully considered EOL plan.

This is awesome! I recently switched to Tailwind from using Basscss in my projects, and am excited at the ecosystem and amount of support around Tailwind. Tools like this make it easier to introduce newcomers as well.
Smaller Class Sizes Not Always Better for Academic Performance and Achievement

Not suggesting it as a substitute for RV, just wondering why they saw nothing in it to learn from. It's not defunct like PA-RISC, Alpha, and (forgive me) SPARC, and quite some research has gone into it.
Wow, that's crazy... It sure seems so.
The top-down MMOs I've played have line-of-sight fog-of-war while in caves/buildings (with limited range smaller than the screen in caves), which has the same issue. The clients have access to invisible things so they can accurately predict when they move - including when they become visible - and correct a split second later if the prediction was wrong.

The total power consumption of any given crypto currency scales according to the ongoing value of new block rewards per fixed unit of time. You can ignore the rest of the factors (like algo, block time) for the most part. Miners run if they can make money for a given cost of electricity, and don't if they can't.
Usually, if we're referring to SV VC, but there are others. Bain is notorious for squeezing dividends out of investments and they're categorized as Venture Capital.

Traditional private equity, ala Berkshire Hathaway, is still pretty prevalent. There are plenty of self-described VCs who aren't necessarily looking for a 10-100x return amongst 100 small investments, but 2-5x returns across dozens of investments.

The vast majority of companies will never have a significant exit event triggering liquidity (IPO, M&A). Does that mean they're not worth investing in?

At least with private equity, you hopefully have some ability to influence those steering the ship, and get to avoid all of the regulatory hurdles. Opaque quarterly reports and short-sellers aren't exactly encouraging.
It's not just you. I was thinking the same thing.

Maker and Compound both support interest and borrowing which are what you'd find in a traditional bank (at much worse rates). The money laundering argument could be applied to anything that can't be controlled by governments. Unfortunately there are many countries where monetary policy is oppressive so Defi finance is a legitimate alternative. Just because technology can be abused doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used.

The government is legally bound to respect your civil liberties.

Every other entity is just bound by their conscience and the consequences of their actions (we still live in a free-ish society after all). While what Uhaul is doing it not illegal it is still highly disagreeable from a civil liberties and employee rights standpoint.

Legal does not imply morally sound and vise versa.

I really feel that VR headset could replace game consoles. Quest is pretty much a game console in a headset. When technology improves, it could become good enough for most gamers just like aging technology of Xbox and PlayStation is. This alone could push adoption by a factor of 10 or even more.

Assuming all things use the same rtti and exception settings and all are using same C++ standard library (libstdc++ vs libc++)

And then there are other flags - for instance when gcc/libstdc++ broke std::string in order to switch from a recounted string to a non-refcounted with small string optimisation in order to be C+11 compatible ...

Sure, there are system defaults, but things vary and often recompiling everything and statically linking avoids those issues.
