Yes, they pay. Because it helps keeping users active, in case of Instagram, for example. And in slack's case, I think when you install the app you can have it for free (with limitations), or pay to remove said limitations. In that case, slack may not (IMO) pay then.
React has more intelligence built in than that. That's definitely not quite how it works.
Paths in SVG are another example where the designers couldn't bring themselves to do everything strictly in XML and decided to use (space) delimited values:

> I ride my bike 20-50 miles for fun. At 50 calories per mile, that definitely adds up.

You're literally talking about exercising for 1-5 hours depending on pace.

Perhaps broad generalities are useless, but in the context of talking about weight loss, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the average person embarking on a weight loss journey is going to jump in and start doing 50 mile bike rides.

It's much more likely that they'll be doing something like a 10 mile bike ride, at a much slower pace, in which case the numbers are back into a range where diet is going to play a much larger role in their success or failure.

These types of people predict the worst so that they are never wrong on the downside. That’s why the initial death projection was 2m people. Imagine if they instead predicted 1000 deaths.

Same stuff happens with global warming preds. You’re getting the worst case, x100, every time.

I am glad to see that there are much more reasonable Rails devs out there compared to some rather toxic individuals around in HN at least!

A lot of tech can be fine-tuned to be very performant. My point was (still is) that there exist technologies today that allow you to delay your scaling decisions much further in future, compared to what a stock Rails app (without any performance tuning) will.

I'd also love to see a comparison of the rockets' altitude & velocity thru the launch
This is a classic. Although it's a subject with absolutely no relevance to the vast majority of readers, it's written in a funny dry style (for a good example, see e.g. the quote posted in another comment).

It's also interesting to reflect on rocket fuels since the publication of the book.

- Military rockets have mostly shifted from hypergolics to solid fuels.

- Orbital rockets mostly use LOX + suitable fuel. For the fuel, seems to be good arguments for and against everything from hydrogen to heavier hydrocarbons like kerosene.

- Exotics (flourine, boron, etc.) have disappeared.

- For hypergolics, the remaining use is mostly RCS's, deep space stuff, but not "main" propulsion. And the oxidizer is mostly NTO rather than acid that seemed to be Clark's favorite.
Another is: DerbyJS, Racer, and ShareDB who have been fighting for this future for what feels like forever, but meteorjs just torched it from a popularity perspective, in the the event-driven server-side rendering realm. Despite giving a much worse end user experience, it was more popular with developers. Is Lever really the only company using Derby?

Facebook, Twitter and Google (YouTube) have used that strategy to ignore their obligations to filter their content by getting into some type of "too bug to fail" situation and throwing their hands up when they are asked to do their duty. Those products didn't fill a niche by innovating, they filled a niche by ignoring the obligations that were preventing others from filling the niche.

It is very interesting reading all the comments from you guys, some from tech prospective others from policical ones. But from my angle, a normal Chinese guy working in the field of material research in China for a decade and deep inside the system, my points would be:

1. you guys really worry too much about our ability to innovate, seriously. There is no room for real innovations. But at the same time the system rewards stealing and copying. The system, the education, the overall political environment are not designed with innovations in mind but to help a few to stay in power. My personal take on this is that Chinese "innovation" is now built upon: Chinese with foreign education/working background bringing back technologies, CCP buying foreign companies with OUR everyday people's money, and of course hacking/stealing directly. I don't believe we have a change winning the innovation war, not in the long run.

2. for a "private" company like huawei, isn't it weird that it's always backed by CCP? Lots of Chinese private companies get balls kicked everyday and why only huawei get treatment worthy of a state owned business? Even us Chinese knows better.

3. please think about us everyday Chinese citizens. we are currently under direct information warfare and systematic repression waged by CCP for decades, and our lives/future squeezed out in order to found companies like huawei and projects like one belt one road, without a fking vote. It's much bigger than us vs huawei, at least from our side.

btw it is not my field of expertise but I'd like to call for experienced software/hardware engineers from the west, help us bring down the CCP's GFW system before it's too late. If it is built by man it can be broken.

thanks and apologize for my broken English.
> This feels like trying to shove this into the opportunity available. There is no indication that cycling is better for the virus. If anything it might make things bad. You now have people sweating all over and trying to take showers and so touching everything.

I don't think you understand what this is about. Most of the cycling for transportation is short hops, 0.5 - 2 miles and low key. No sweating or showers involved unless you live in Phoenix (in which case you have my sympathy regardless). I have a 7 mile commute and since it's cool in the morning and I'm not working out hard. I don't need to shower when I get to work.

Also, e-bikes are likely to be a bike part of this which makes the sweatiness even less an issue even if your commute is longer.

It does feel like they are trying to shove this solution in there to some extent. Many large cities have been trying to find ways to increase the amount of cycling and walking regardless. Cars and their infinite demand for resources (parking, wider roads, gas stations) have become a growth dead-end in dense urban areas.

I think it's the same as becoming an expert at anything. Lots of practice, and lots of feedback from people who are already experts. The latter is unfortunately pretty hard to find unless you already have a job writing Python.

Ubiquitous car ownership is physically impossible in urban areas— usually at least 10 people live in a building one or two parking spaces wide, and even if parking were solved, urban roadways cannot handle all those cars driving at once — and many people are unable to drive for health, financial, or legal reasons.

Bicycles (or other small wheeled vehicles) are much more accessible to more people now that electric power is practical in addition to human power.

In many urban areas, there is a lack of _any_ safe bike routes from point a to point b, which is not the experience of the motorist.

Welp. There goes the neighborhood.
There is no size comparison between the Nazi genocides and the sorts of mostly localized horrors that ISIS is responsible for. The Rwandan Genocide was terrible but it also barely compares to the Nazis' work or to the sheer frequency of genocides before that. As for the Great Leap, it was worse, but it too is accounted for in the actual numbers of government caused deaths during the 20th and 21st centuries and they clearly show that people dying by bad, genocidal government activity has decreased enormously since the second world war. (since before that even but just to keep things concise relative to the comment above)
I think you are thinking about "changing the world".

"Making the world a better place" to me has the connotation of providing a small positive contribution for others around you.
Probably not. The British century was built on the back of dead Germans and Russians containing Napoleonic France. The American century was built on the back of dead Russians and Western European ruins by Nazi Germany. If the third time's the charm, then the next Hegemon would be the faction that successfully minimise its own losses in a WW3, so either India or Europe(an Union).

Then again, history doesn't repeat, it rhymes.

Nope, they burn from the inside out! The propellant does not constitute a solid cylinder but has a hole in the center going through the whole thing. Ignition happens at the top and the burning (very rapidly) spreads from there to the whole inner surface.
Her main premise is the that the matching problem can not possibly be solved. This problem is that we think our brains have matching regions and matching behaviors to our very ancient, hunter gatherer ancestors. Her contention is that we can never study these ancient minds and behaviors, so we can never be certain of any evolutionary psychology.

Most cities with a subway or significant bus infrastructure have very high population densities. "Everybody drive" is not going to work in places where driving isn't already the default mode of transit.

Plus, few people can afford it. Have you looked at the price of a parking spot in e.g., major parts of Boston or NYC? 5-6 figures to buy, or hundreds/mo to rent, and that's with working mass transit. I guess that those prices would at least triple if everyone started driving. Lots of wealthy people take the subway and commuter rail.

I don't think cycling is the solution. But cars are definitely a non-starter.
Browsers not only accept MitM certificates, they have special exceptions for them. If you import a CA certificate, Chrome and Firefox will ignore certain features (such as certificate transparency requirements) even for domains and IPs that resolve to the routable internet.

The go-to solution for this is to load a certificate authority into the proxy itself and have it generate certificates on the fly.

I think the wildcard rules are more to protect people in case of a certificate authority breach than to protect against MitM. Imagine if DigiNotar would sign a certificate in the form of ⁎.⁎.⁎ instead of just some Google domains and browser would actually accept that!

Mobile native developer? Might be something new you want to get familiar with every couple years, but really you'll likely be OK, career-wise, if you sleep on it for another year or two unless you actually need it. C++ developers aren't chasing brand-new frameworks to stay hirable, generally. Java and C#, most of the ads seem to be "have experience with [eight-year-old 'new' thing that's basically an ecosystem-wide standard now anyway], plus a bunch of much older things", and those two alone are a really high percentage of all software jobs.

I worked at one of the top tier prop shops in Chicago. This is my experience there:

Fresh grad devs are generally evaluated on their potential and not what languages and specific skills they know. The people they end up hiring for fresh grad dev roles tended to come from the same six schools. Said schools are generally not top tier (for developers) and are local to Chicago.

I doubt anyone will want to cycle after reading that LOL. Jokes aside you raise loads of good points. With respect to covid-19 I doubt many would want to use communal shower facilities. I wouldn't. In places like London and many other cities you can always rent a bike. You do also have the flexibility of using public transport if its pouring with rain. But it is big issue. With regards to theft..my solution was to get a cheap bike after having my entry road bike stolen. And I now lock the wheels as well LOL. And I've upgraded my lock. Never looked back! LOL

It’s been there a few years now, survived the hot summers just fine. Using an ordinary SanDisk SD card and a decent quality phone charger for power. Occasionally it locks up and my parents unplug it and plug it back in and it boots fine.

Not defending the article, but if the alternative is for everyone to drive cars, I think you need to think about what that means for a second.

1. Everyone in the US has to own and maintain a car. (I've saved $85k by not owning a car over the past 10 years.)

2. We have an increase in the number of 2000 lb steel boxes driving around, polluting, being built and trashed.

3. More drivers, more deaths. Driving is already a leading cause of death in the US.

4. Further sprawl, growing infrastructure costs, higher taxes.

5. Further decline of spontaneous interactions in the US.

There are many many other negative externalities of car dependence. Cycling is an opportunity to reduce our car dependence, and is safer than public transportation for COVID.

Yes, sitting in your personal, 40 thousand dollar, 2 ton steel box anytime you leave the house is the best way to avoid COVID transmission. But it also destroys the earth, social ties, lives, etc.
