Bernie has advocated during his political career for nationalization of health care, energy sector, banks, utilities, drug companies and "major industries". There doesn't seem to be any limiting principle for Sanders re: the proper role for the national government so I see no reason to believe that he thinks any differently about these things now than in the past. He even brags about his consistency of beliefs over time.

Regarding Social Security and Medicare, the fact that those programs as constructed are not financially sound is well known and health insurance as well as public retirement plans don't have to be national programs. There is no reason that states couldn't fund those programs if they so choose. The advantage of having those programs at the state level is that it introduces competition. People can vote with their feet and move to states that provide a better mix of taxes/services.
Well there's only one solution, then;)

I'm very excited by this!

I currently use https://materializecss.com/ over several products. It's been great, but I'm stuck on the 0.100.x line because the upgrade path was too difficult. It's also hasn't been updated since the first 1.0 release some time ago. Not complaining since I got what I paid for (it was free) but it's left me pretty anxious to find a replacement.

Salesforce's Lightning components are good but challenging to understand how to work with outside the walled garden. Zurb's Foundation UI is interesting but seems to want me to use whole page templates rather than components.

This looks like exactly what I've been dreaming of. I've put my money where my mouth is as I can't wait to have more components built out to a stage where I can start using it for real.
In Ruby there is a CouchRest gem, which I've used, but to be honest a REST interface that talks JSON is so easy to use that I've often thought we'd be better off without anything specific.

std::function is fine for prototyping, but its size hit is extreme, so in embedded code we use other implementations. But where size and speed doesn't matter? Why bother?

That's not exactly what I think when I read "biggest sellers". That seems like a remarkably low cutoff.

Also, if you don't need/want to grow and/or you have low margins, this could wipe you out. 12% revenue of _any_ orders within a 30 day period of an ad click[1], effectively at Etsy's discretion (how can you challenge that someone clicked, or disagree with how hard they are pushing your products - especially noting that they have a binding arbitration clause[2]), could be a huge percentage[3] of your total sales.

The same people complaining fail to advocate for change. You don’t like Etsy policies go elsewhere.

This is not rocket science.

You don’t like the fact that big companies abuse consumers, small businesses, and their employees, you can vote or collectively organize for change.

The HN community rails against unionization and collective bargaining often but loves to complain when a policy change like this occurs.

It's been years now, but my memory is that it could simulate arbitrary ELF executables. So I'd imagine there's got to be a path for this kind of thing. But I don't really understand what targets MLIR works with or anything, so this is all just some rambling.

I'd love to learn about newer work done to simulate things like these weird tensor cores. Or other fancy new hardware (quantum anyone...) in a heterogenous way.

P.S. I bet we go to the same school... if you wanna hang out and talk about this kind of thing (or anything else), hit me up.
I agree with this as well. When hooks were released I thought it was a ridiculous generalization and abstraction over something that already worked. However, after using it in production for a while I can say I've seen the light and will not go back to component classes. After using hooks, you realize how bloated classes are, and how much logic gets crammed into componentDidUpdate in a weird bundle of mixed up concerns, all of which are now nicely clarified and flattened out with useEffect.

Another fascinating thing about useEffect is that it works in such a way that you easily realize common dependencies to reduce your code and improve performance overall.

Combine all this with TypeScript and building simple yet robust frontends is better than ever these days.
It’s really hard to know whether it’s actually new sales. For example, if my Etsy storefront ranks in the #1 position for “artisanal doorstops”, etsy can buy that keyword, users I would have gotten organically now go through the ad, as it’s a higher position. Now I’m paying for the customer I would have converted organically.

But it gets even more insidious when you think about people who have multiple stores on different platforms. Let’s say you also own artisanaldoorstops.com and it goes to a Shopify site. Sure most of your business comes from Etsy, but you’re working hard to build your own brand and reduce your dependence on Etsy. Now, with this change, any success your standalone storefront has will be undercut by Etsy buying ads against your own store AND TAKING MORE OF A CUT.

Tangentially, this is the same thing opentable does with restaurants, they will sign up a restaurant and then buy AdWords for the name of the restaurant. I’ve seen stats that upwards of 25% of restaurant bookings can be redirected from the restaurant website to opentable simply via a top position ad spot. It’s the same scenario and it hurts restaurants significantly.

You are comparing a different time in the US to now. I dont think this is a fair comparison, everything takes longer now -- buildings, bridges, tunnels. I'm amazed to hear how quickly subways in NYC were built -- these days it takes a decade to build a handful of stops.

I dont think it has to do with startups vs not.
I wouldn't say political per se, at least not in the way most people would mean it. Taking the census every 10 years, in this particular manner, is required by the Constitution.
Another +1 for Hooks. I was really against it at first, but now I'll never go back. React components should really be nothing more than a view layer and Hooks forces you to stop thinking in the component/class paradigm, which generally makes things a lot more modular and reusable. I've been using XState to handle business logic and MobX as a data store, leaving React to simply render the data. No more huge class files and complicated life-cycle methods.

To what end? They're still at capacity, Etsy take a bigger cut, and they might not be particularly interested in making more money. Some sellers (I suspect especially on a marketplace like Etsy) might be happier making a product _everyone_ can afford to buy.
Have you compared the price to say, hosting your own website, finding your own marketing platform, finding a payment provider, and managing logistical challenges, all for 12% of the gross income of your product?

> I feel like we need some form of regulation to limit how marketplaces like Etsy can dictate how their sellers conduct business.

I halfway agree, and halfway feel the opposite: We need to restore teeth to our existing regulatory bodies, and we need more competition. We need to reduce barriers to entry, and stop the anti-competitive behavior behemoths like Amazon have been exerting for years now.
Regarding the bonds, that doesn’t seem true. The conditions for payout are:

“ On the face of it, the class B bond should have incurred losses during the 2018 ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the recent coronavirus from Wuhan, China, as both have resulted in deaths north of 250 people, the primary condition for a payout.”

“ But an important secondary condition states that there must be at least 20 deaths in a second country for the bond to release any funds, a requirement that has not been met by the coronavirus or the ebola outbreak.”

I think the point was that the law, as applied to the ACS, does not fall under enumerated powers of the federal government, nor could it be reasonably seen to fall under the necessary and proper clause. The census? Sure. But not the ACS.

As someone who was sent the ACS and started to fill it out before abandoning it because the government has no business demanding answers to some of those questions, I felt violated. Then the Census Bureau harassed me. And then nothing came of it. Shame on them.

Is that not what Etsy is demanding users pay for? This platform offers a whole load of things these sellers would have to pay for anyways, all in one place.
I've had good experience hiring designers. Designers seem very much underpaid for the amount of expertise they have, so you'll often get some good deals if you look hard enough. I've had an argument with one designer that I wanted to pay her X amount hourly, and she wanted that much daily.

Still, it's something like $80 for something that takes me a week to do and tweak, and some experienced dude can get it done in 1-2 hours.

But for photography, I often do it myself. Photographers here are often overpriced, as in you could end up paying hundreds of dollars for similar quality as you'd get for half an hour and a good phone camera. The people who are passionate about it often do it part time, and the people who do it for a living often focus on improving negotiation skills. YMMV.

> I will be ignoring the effort.

Then you do so to the detriment of your state. Regardless of whether or not the government has the information via the means you describe, House and budget apportionment is determined by the census numbers, and not this "shadow data".
> This is different from droplet transmission when people are coughing/sneezing.

I know, and I thought that was what we were discussing: how strong is the evidence for airborne transmission.

> How do you expect asymptomatic infected individuals to spread the virus?

I gave a bunch of possibilities in my previous reply.

> The viral load is highest in the nose

Higher in the nose than the throat, according to the Medpagetoday article, but that doesn't imply it is absent from the throat -- rather the opposite, otherwise they would have phrased it differently. And people do pick and blow their noses, and sneeze occasionally even when healthy, so it's not like breathing is the only possible route out of the nose. Not to mention the connectedness of nose and throat, which makes it hard for me to imagine a virus being present in the nose but reliably absent from saliva.

I'm not arguing that airborne transmission is unlikely -- I don't know, and am trying to form an opinion. Which is why I'm questioning the argument that it is definitely happening, and responsible for all asymptomatic contagion: it seems overstated to me, but if I'm missing key background facts, I'd like to learn them.
Tips on how startup can win the “learning war” for talent
Oh my God they're using swears?
I really like the super high efficiency at the important multiple-of-4-byte increments. Using 7 base-24 characters to encode 32 bits is 99.7% efficient. However, I'd recommend using 7 base-24 digits followed by a blank as standard output format. This would allow for efficient 8 character <=> 32 bit conversions. Also, I think padding output to a multiple of 7 characters would be good, for similar reasons that it's good for base-64. Now you can concatenate encoded streams like you could byte streams, and recover on decode. As multiples of 32 bits are so common, padding would be used little in practice. On input, it would be fine to accept unpadded base-24 sequences, but valid base-24 output should always pad to a multiple of 7 chars (excluding the blanks that should be just for readability and not significant otherwise).

However, I strongly dislike the arbitrary mapping between character values and base-24 digits. There is a strong reason for using the order 2345679ABCEFGHKRSTWXYZ, which is that now encoded values compare the same as the original binary values. I did appreciate the 0x00000000 == ZZZZZZZ equivalence, but consistent ordering is just way more important IMO. Also 2222222 looks a lot like ZZZZZZZ. Just saying.
It's not a win for the stores if they sell less because they had to increase prices.

For some reason you assume that the stores don't already know their customers and haven't already maximized their prices.
Top Intel AI Exec Naveen Rao Departs After Nervana Pivot
Last few projects of mine:

- Prototyping: no graphics (text only); drew myself (so bad that I reverted to text only); free libraries

- Publicly available: paid a friend of a friend; hired someone on a popular outsourcing site (after I paid them it turned out that they stole it from a not-free illustration library); free library; paid for not-free library

- very limited (<50 users) beta: all of the above plus not-free-library with watermarks (users actually liked this because it gave the site an authentic, work-in-progress, exclusive vibe--their words)

Honestly, graphics are overrated and people of all walks of life appreciate high-information density above all else. Landing pages for marketing campaigns convert slightly better with fancy graphics, so you ideally want both. Most companies only have the pretty pictures, which is both a shame and an opportunity.

Agreed, but isn't the point of labelling an open position 'junior' or 'senior' so that candidates will know whether it's appropriate to apply? Everybody surely knows what these terms mean, right? And if it isn't in the job title, then why can't they put it in the job description so they don't get junior experience people applying for senior jobs?

> Have you ever run a business where the margins don't even reach fifteen percent?

I'm willing to wager the average margin for an Etsy seller is much better than that, but it makes for a dramatic example to try and prove a point.

> More sales at unsustainable margins are not better than fewer sales.

That's not how margins work.

Scenario 1 - No Participation

- Orders: 1,000

- AOV: $30

- Gross Sales: $30,000

- Cost: $15,000 COGs

- GM $: $15,000

- GM %: 50%

Scenario 2 - Participation

- Orders: 1,000 + 100 Outside Ad Orders

- AOV: $30

- Gross Sales: $33,000

- Cost: $16,500 COGs + $450 = $16,950

- GM $: $16,050

- GM % 48.6%

This is before you factor in other costs, or your time.

Isn't that what the container/component split is for? Presentation logic in a container, markup and styling in a component. If you need to reuse the same visual component in logically different contexts you create a new container that mangles the props as appropriate.
I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. I thought the same.

Like, even before the end of Moore’s law, folks were making spectacular advancements in IR design and compiler design generally. SSA was invented before it ended for example. The lineage of graph coloring register allocators that culminates in Briggs and then later IRC started in the 80s or earlier at IBM Yorktown. It’s crazy to suggest that the end of Moore’s law means we now suddenly have to start thinking about how to build good compiler architectures.

On any sales within 30 days of an ad click. Genuine scenario from a few months ago: I'm looking at some shelving on Etsy, I mention it to my mother (using a specific seller's name) to double check it's right for what we need. She clicks the first Google result (which in this scenario could very easily be an Esty ad), and now Etsy are taking £12 extra from a £100 order without the seller being able to opt-out. For what? They haven't driven any traffic.

It's about risk assessment. No electricity / no internet means you have bigger problems. 435 npm modules is risky - so that needs to be managed but that's not necessarily meaning ditch NPM.

And for Etsy - well the usual play with these sorts of things is you use them for marketing then get the customer after they make a purchase to start using your real shop running on your own domain.
