This is an underrated commentary.

I'm continually amazed at what transpires in the public forum, leading me to believe that the US Government has been corrupt for quite some time, but never out in the open.

generational wealth is how real wealth is built: nearly all riches are inherited.

the main thing i have learned with age is how incredibly important having a very very strong support system is, whether thats family, friends, a club, school, spouse, children, or whatever. you can. not. survive. without this. Its disconcerting how completely i overlooked this in my youth. independence in the context you describe is not something that should be lauded in our society and specifically parents that drive their children away should, in the great majority of cases, be vilified along with the typical narrative of celebrating the child's victory at overcome adverse conditions.

I hated JSX too when I started doing React 4-5 years ago. Then I used Vue for a couple of years in part because of templates.

After that I tried InfernoJS which uses JSX because I needed the performance for a project and now I've turned around on JSX.

Personally I couldn't go back to template based frameworks like Vue or Svelte because they usually put you into this one component per file mindset. I much prefer being able to create micro-components in the same file like say buttons or table rows.

The thing that annoyed the most with JSX was that writing conditionals and loops inline was ugly or a pita. Then I discovered this Babel plugin and I love it:

How is the score calculated? One example has "high" unsubscribe rate but a 9.99 score. Another one has a high score but a "tedious" description.

The scores just felt a bit off to me from the examples.

I agree with some other comments that suggest this is valuable data but I would suggest giving it to consumers for free and allow them to vote to give you better data and then charge newsletter creators for the data and ways to improve their score.

Ask HN: Whither Open Source 5G?
Wouldn't it be in everyone's interest if the 5G technologies were open sourced? Then no one "wins". One company doesn't win over another. Another nation doesn't win over another. Consumers benefit. I've been surprised that western companies that have benefited huge from 20 years of open source collaboration hasn't seen this as the solution to a lot of 5G angst that exists right now. What am I missing?

You are misrepresenting their argument. He didn't say paying for a commercial offering after two years is extremist. Rather, they said your position that "if you can't pay for a commerical offering in two years, it's time to give up or pivot".

I also find that second position extremist.
It's targeted towards funded startups that are just picking up:

> Designed for: "Funded: Product Market Fit"

> The qualified offer is designed to help companies that are focused on growth, so it’s less applicable for consultancies and small businesses.

It's not designed for smaller bootstrapped businesses and other scenarios that would involve 5 users for extended periods of time

Well, surely you are allowed! :-)

In my case, for one, the engineering orgs were generally not much larger than 200 people. For another, the "To:" person(s) usually responded, but everyone else got cc'd with the list and then the list could follow. And, for me, finally: I find discoverability in a knowledge-base-way to be sub-optimal compared to an indexed (and threaded!) email list. Kind of like how Linux devs organize themselves.

And, maybe, finally, I'm old and have been using email since 1983 and it fits my workflow (or rather: my workflow adapted to email?). The get-to-it-or-it-is-gone thing with #slack bothers me, which seems great for asking people what they want me to bring back for lunch, but not for much else besides asking who broke the build.

Again - that's my take. I understand that other people don't prefer long-form debates/discussions by email and want an IRC-like answer to their immediate question.
I second Mithril with JSX. I've been using for a couple of months and it's amazing.

I'm not sure how TPP was supposed to be a China containment strategy. I've heard this said a few times, but the explanations for how it was supposed to work always seemed like hand-wavey versions of "well, it would make US partnerships with non-China countries stronger and that would somehow contain China".
I think your experience with FB has a lot to do with whom you have on your "friends list".

I only have about 200, most of whom don't post much. Of those who post a lot of political stuff I have a fairly good mix so I see a lot of that but I don't get all heated up over it.

A lot of great and funny stuff comes up on my feed so I have a lot of fun with it.
The pattern you describe is very similar to what happened in Europe around WWII. Places like Poland and Slovakia produced local uprisings (against the Nazis). The Allies basically sat idly by while those got crushed, enabling the Soviets to then move in and create the Eastern Bloc.
Time is valuable, but I suppose we all value it differently. I concede being an extremist in this regard. Time is the ultimate non renewable resource.

Rights Groups Call on US Universities to Ban Facial Recognition Technology
For me it's a bit similar to how I felt as a kid playing with legos. Who wouldn't want to play with legos many hours a day, most days every week? It never occurred to me that there'd come a point where I wanted to know that my work genuinely improved lives. It turns out that being good at something and getting paid for it isn't always enough. It's hard to avoid the question of meaning forever.
Compare shoving at age 2, age 12, and age 22.

What makes these situations different is:

A. Maturity. We expect developmental difference and if they don't happen, it indicates a problem. Normal but undesirable behavior at age 2 would sociopathic if done at age 22. Toddlers don't get arrested if they bite someone, while adults do; I would claim that is justifiable.

B. Destructive potential. Mature people are faster, stronger, and smarter; a bar brawl has a greater chance for broken bones, concussions, etc. than a playground fight.

> ... and "anything that generates heat" would contribute significantly to reductions.

I never measured it, but there was one area that I quickly put a Tasmota plug on. My stereo receiver under the TV.

One day I was putting around the den and I noticed a lot of heat emanating from the credenza under the TV. It was my Sony receiver just sitting there, dutifully amplifying the null input from the turned-off TV.

So I added the plug, and told Home Assistant to turn the receiver on whenever the TV was on, and turn it off when the TV is off. My guess is that I'm saving 20-40W this way. $2-$4 a month.

(FWIW, this is the first time I've ever been glad to have a "smart" TV. The only feature I use on that TV is the ability for Home Assistant to see it)
Don't be too sorry, I also bought AMD and TSLA a few months ago :)
The amount of lifesaving assistance available to the average person with a single phone call is staggering. Being outside of cellphone demonstrates the utility not futility is such assistance.

Not sure I'm getting all the subtleties of your argument but for food, say for example suddenly they charged 100x the price for wheat, people would switch to something different.

Of course people need food, but there are many kinds of food and it's competitive between the different foods.

Lifesaving drugs are something where it's often difficult to substitute.
I agree with the notion that early on, participants were pre-qualified by having to clear a small hurdle of hardware reqs and technical chops to connect.

The mobile phone changed the barrier to entry forever on Internet 1.0, but if the satco's decided to launch petabytes of storage into space and require a specific basestation/modem to access the signal, that small hurdle would limit participation to those that made an effort and effectively leave 99% of Inet1 behind.

Perhaps not the best example, but all it takes is a small technical hurdle to limit participation.
I attended a top 5 business school in France at the turn of the century. We had partnerships with similar schools in NYC, Tokyo, Sydney, you name it.

It was taught in first year of international business classes that outsourcing abroad was functionally equivalent to a transfer of technology — so you always had to factor in the time it took for your magic low-cost solution to fade out and become your competitor, essentially, but not just them: by then the whole market has access to that cost structure, so you have to keep finding new lower-cost solutions, and keep innovating on your technological part (HQ in Europe, USA, Japan, etc).

It's just international business 101, really, and has been for at least 20 years in my personal experience — but I'm pretty sure I read articles from the 1970s describing this process, because Japan was the first one to pull it off brilliantly.

People focus on China because somebody is waiving that name a lot and his voice carries a lot through the media; but this is definitely just how the world works, and has been forever — if you ask workers from the next village to come and help build stuff with your super tech, it won't take long before they replicate the process over there.

And that's called culture, knowledge, it lives and grows and moves like populations of viruses or molecules, it's been modeled for some time in anthropology at that macro-level.
I appreciate the response. I hope my story didn’t give the wrong impression. There are a lot of paths to enlightenment, and who knows what 8-year-old me could have done with an interactive book.

I could only view it through a mobile device earlier, and now that I’ve had a more detailed look, I see how the simulation and experimentation aspect adds another dimension to the theory. I intend to work my way through the whole thing and see how knowing more of the math will influence my future tinkering.
No I don't think creativity is linked to the act of programming. I do think creatively when thinking about product and design. Programming is about being a critically thinking pragmatist.
What I was trying to get at was the idea stated by the Supreme Court of Oregon in Top Serv. Body Shop, Inc. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 582 P.2d 1365 (1978) [1], cited by the California court in Della Penna v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., 11 Cal. 4th 376 (1995) [2]:

> In summary, such a claim is made out when interference resulting in injury to another is wrongful by some measure beyond the fact of the interference itself. Defendant's liability may arise from improper motives or from the use of improper means. They may be wrongful by reason of a statute or other regulation, or a recognized rule of common law, or perhaps an established standard of a trade or profession

which I came across in this article on the elements of tortuous interference claims under California law [3].

IIRC hellbanning is a variant of shadowbanning that prevents easy discovery of the banned status by putting all suspect accounts into the same "hell" invisible to normal users.

This works well if you have a network of fake accounts from a single "persona" or ring of personas - by all their indications they can't see their own posts are being ignored.

Notice: it's almost the exact response to the persona management software problem [1] (aka bots).

Then you did the same for your mobile users, degrading their experience until they use an app or leave.
America and Europe can only be hamstrung by Russia's veto if they allow that to happen. There are many global measures that could have helped the Syrian people outside of any action by the UN Security Council. Nonetheless, I agree with you that America left a void of leadership, and that allowed Russia to walk in unimpeded. The Syrian people were about to oust their dictator until Russia came in with reinforcements. My point is, America wouldn't have even needed to send in the Air Force. The most important course of action would have been to prevent Russian entry. That could entail a guarantee that "if Russia or Iran enters Syria, we will create a civilian safe zone using the Air Force." The safe zone would have both saved civilian life and protected the FSA from aerial bombardment.
You mean they re-enabled software that they ^illegally pulled from a owners car. From the last thread on this I kind of wish the USA would get on the ball like most of Europe.

^Posters in the last thread said that in most of Europe you own that 'license' and it cant just be revoked by the manufacturer. We have basically seen Cisco kill the entire secondhand market in the USA with this: "You dont own the software, you just license it" I think 'technocratic hell' is what I called that. I still feel the same way- we need better protection around consumers in the US where XYZ megacorp cant just kill your car because they have deemed it an unsupported model.

Various companies "donate" massive resources to design standards with the assumption that they'll profit from those standards later. Royalty-free/open-source standards do not support that kind of quid pro quo so they'd have to be developed by governments, universities, or "benevolent" monopolies like Google. Maybe this would be worth it and maybe not.

Western companies like Qualcomm absolutely do not want standards to be open source. When some people talk about how "China is winning 5G" they are ignoring the phones themselves.

I understand how that works. My point was just that it's not always about binning, sometimes it's all market segmentation. Drawing both sides of a polygon in a single pass is a pro GPU driver feature that has nothing to do with defects or binning. I think if Intel has unexpectedly good yield with low defects, they may end up using silicon good enough to support hyperthreading in a CPU that lacks the feature. They disable silicon-viable features for consumer chips on the regular --it's just to guarantee users of those features pay for Xeons.
Comparing writing new songs to developing new technology is apples to oranges. It doesn't require billions of dollars and man-hours in R&D to follow your passion and write the next big hit. It just takes talent and a few years of practice, if that.
Differentiable approximations to the min and max operators
I honestly feel cranky if I have been in the house for too long. I long for a nice walk in nature, which in a city could mean a walk in the park.

I'm not sure how people can live inside all the time, it would be like that Black Mirror episode where all they do is play video games and rack up points to try and get out of it. It would be like prison.
This is why I've stuck so strongly with Ember for web development. Even with the modern edition of Ember, Octane, it's as simple as `ember new my-project` and off you go. No choices to make, no toolchains to configure, just writing productive code.
Something I've noticed in my kids; because they do have this access to "entertainment of the highest quality", real-world experiences struggle to measure up.

For instance, going to the circus was fun, but quickly forgotten. A local stunt pilot flying overhead only gets a quick glance.

It depends on your definition of involvement. I used to archive alife project code on an ftp server in the early 90's, so there is that. Infosec got me too busy to keep with alife, which was really slowing down until recently, and only in the past year I started to get back into it again. I was working for a quantum computing startup which renewed my interest in complexity.

Arming FSA was a good option for much longer than just the first year (and still is). Obama’s advisors (including Clinton at State and Panetta at DoD) advocated this, but were overruled.
