I am curious, what would such a system look like?

I am thinking that a "promise" is not a quantitative term. It needs to be ratified into specific data oriented actions that can go through a litmus test whether it was fulfilled or betrayed.

After that, one idea is to have an accountability score tracked by bureaucracy and have that printed on the ballot along with their principle accomplishments in the supplement. Another idea is to have a penalty score of not meeting prior promises as a dilution factor to the number of votes. If a politician only met 90% of the promises, they will lose 10% of the voting power of the public (like a 0.X multiplier to the votes). Just thinking out loud, there may be major issues with these ideas.
Years ago I read several books by L. Neil Smith, a noted libertarian SF author. His North American Confederacy series posited that if the early US had been really libertarian (changing the Declaration of Independence to "derive their just power from the unanimous consent of the governed") then technology and social rights would have been far in advance of what actually happened.

(Eg, peaceful end to slavery in 1820, Moon colonies by the 1940s.)

This comes across as the same sort of libertarian fantasy.

Let's consider "the 37 year incubation of the cell phone".

As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones#The_c... points out, there was more than just the proposal from the 1940s in order to get cell phones:

> At this stage, the technology to implement these ideas did not exist, nor had the frequencies been allocated ...

> In all these early examples, a mobile phone had to stay within the coverage area serviced by one base station throughout the phone call, i.e. there was no continuity of service as the phones moved through several cell areas. The concepts of frequency reuse and handoff, as well as a number of other concepts that formed the basis of modern cell phone technology, were described in the late 1960s, in papers by Frenkiel and Porter.

Which means the "handie-talkies" were far different than what we think of now for cellular technology.

The article argues that frequency allocation was the main issue, with fierce resistance by the TV broadcast industry for changing the allocation, and with internal inertia preventing new technology development.

To counter-balance that argument, we need only look outside the US. Again, from Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones#Emerg... :

> The first fully automated mobile phone system for vehicles was launched in Sweden in 1956. Named MTA (Mobiltelefonisystem A), ... MTA phones consisted of vacuum tubes and relays, and weighed 40 kilograms (88 lb). In 1962, an upgraded version called Mobile System B (MTB) was introduced. This was a push-button telephone, and used transistors and DTMF signaling to improve its operational reliability. In 1971 the MTD version was launched, opening for several different brands of equipment and gaining commercial success. ...

> In 1958 development began on a similar system for motorists in the USSR ...

> One of the first successful public commercial mobile phone networks was the ARP network in Finland, launched in 1971. ...

(Not bad for the 'innovation famine' of Europe, eh?)

So there were multiple attempts, in multiple regulatory regimes. If cell phones were simple enough that we "should" have had them shortly after WWII, then it would have been done elsewhere.

Which to me strongly suggests that the explanation given here is too facile.

UberEats is a real head-scratcher as almost all of the key players, from my perspective, have expressed dissatisfaction to some extent:

1. Restaurants as UberEats charges a fee often greater than the restaurant's own profitability

2. Restaurants as there is a real fear that Uber is gathering data for customer tastes/habits to then give priority to CloudKitchens™ or some other variant on commissary kitchen/virtual restaurants

3. Customers who are shocked by the fully-loaded cost (menu, fee, delivery, tip)

4. Drivers as they barely earn a living wage and put considerable wear and tear on their vehicles

5. Potential investors due to heavy losses generated by subsidizing this entire operation

6. White collar Employees as they are baited/strung along with generous RSU grants to then be overworked at a pace which would make a full vesting impossible

IANAL, but I think that in many, if not most cases, you're jointly liable with the corporation. You may not be worth going after if the corporation has a lot of money and you don't, or the company may indemnify you, but you're probably still liable.

Turns out the 50+ years we'd need for fusion is a bit too long a position for a system that demands quarterly growth for growing retirement accounts, whodathunk. They take 50 years to mature anyway, what's the point?

Granted, you probably want a bit less than <the time you expect to cash out the account> to figure out if your bets were correct or not and you actually have a retirement account, so it sorta makes sense, but we've gone off the deep end in the other direction, so it doesn't.
Yes and no.

I agree that you weren't talking about a 1st degree murder situation, but your wording is still sloppy and the idea you are conveying is inaccurate.

> Nobody plans to shoot someone when in a self-defense situation

Literally the only way your logic works is if you don't pick up a gun. If you pick up a gun, you are actively planning the possibility of a shoot.

Perhaps you are making a mental distinction between shooting a specific person versus shooting any person you find in your house?

> Planning to use a gun to shoot someone is by definition a crime, and there is a burden of proof for that.

I think we are just sparring over the definition of "planning". Have a good day!
"exception proves the rule" means "exception tests the rule" and calls for clarification of the rule. So what is the clarification that explains Amazon?

(It's that Amazon was always profitable at margin, and invested profits into real growth not bribing customers.)
This sounds as though it could be a nice replacement for the Dark Sky API that Apple is going to lock us out of.

The ClimaCell API docs say the weather API offers forecasts for 1) realtime, 2) hourly, 3) nowcast, 4) daily

The free-tier pricing plan [1] apparently offers limited access to 1-3 but no access to 4. That's too bad, but then no paid-tier plan offers 4, either. So, I have to wonder, Am I missing something or are they?

> regularly consisted of dumping money into expenditures in areas that were pushing huge revenue growth

Why do you say this? I find it unlikely that building out 2-day delivery was a major short-term driver of revenue. It was developing their moat. Similarly, building out a fulfillment service that directly cannibalized existing business was not a short-term revenue generator.

This should be far better than Dark Sky. AFAIK Dark Sky was far more of a simpler statistics play than real meteorology and data processing. I was surprised Apple bought them, because I don't honestly believe they had any real groundbreaking tech, more slimy marketing than anything.

But ClimaCell is serious about new data being used, real forecast analysis, and verification, etc.

The future of weather APIs and services is much brighter IMO, now that Dark Sky is out of the picture.

Capitalism might be broken, but I don't see this as evidence. This might be evidence that some investors have more money than sense, which has always been true and will always be true.

If you think a company or asset is overvalued, don't buy it.

I don't understand why people seem to take personal offense to bad business models. If you think it's dumb that's fine. Every investor has a thesis and jumping on the "negative cash flow startups are dumb" bandwagon is within your rights (and might even pay out). But I don't see the point in getting worked up about it.
I view it as simply spreading the message.
1. Pick a topic -> look into topic -> write about topic -> post topic -> revise as I feel like it

Internet is an interesting medium because once it's out there, it's not really out there forever. You can change it as much as you want.

I started after reading that having a blog was beneficial. This was from a perspective of building a personal brand. At the beginning I was trying to do 1 per week, but I became burnt out on that, and noticed I wasn't really pursuing things I cared about.

I'm trying to get back into it this year, and only writing about stuff that actually catches my interest. This leads to having an irregular writing schedule. This is considered bad practice for building a brand, but I'm no longer worried about building a brand. I want to have a place to put my thoughts together, and put out there when I happen to have them.

Even with this change in perspective I've noticed my ability to write posts has gotten much better from when I started.

JSX vs Templates has almost evolved into a holy war at this point within the js community. There are benefits and drawbacks to both, so you'll find people coming down on either side of the argument.

My main reason for preferring templates over jsx is that it allows to separate the functional component code behind the scenes from the actual rendered html in a cleaner fashion, imo, than just embedding the html directly into the JS code. I could also say that, due to my background, I am just more comfortable with it, as well.

I'm just getting started, but here's my process so far. I've found that an idea for a post will just strike suddenly, usually at inopportune times for writing. So I try to capture as much as I can in that moment using voice-to-text on my phone using google keep or google docs. I also have keep a list of ideas and topics in google docs that I can capture if I'm on my work computer or on my phone.

Once I have my ideas a bit organized and some time to write I'll look through the list and pick one that still speaks to me. I'll start with an outline of the main points that I want to hit and from there it just feels natural to fill it out.

I think the most important thing to do when blogging is to actually decide to write, and not futz around with all the other technical things involved. Do what you need to do to get your blog up and running and compartmentalize the writing from that other stuff (hosting, plugins, analytics, etc.). You can spend weeks just messing with that stuff and not have a single article posted.

P.S. I'm using a Jekyll template hosted on Github pages to power my blog. it was the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get up and running IMHO. I'm never going back to wordpress.
Actually there are a lot of investments in pharma, including oncology.

The Vally put a lot of money to work on green tech / climate change back in the 2009-2012 time frame. Not much to show for it; investment has definitely slowed.

social issues: I have to agree.

Lots of B2C market-destroying investments in SF, less so down here in the valley. Sadly I don't see the flow of them stopping -- they're mostly pretty low tech and so easy for a non-tech investor to understand (or rather think they understand).
Correct, it wasn't always this way. Too much "dumb" money that is eager for returns, trying to chase the "if you build it they will come" mantra. But that worked 20 years ago for a nascent web.

I think these investors are all praying the "proprietary" data that is being acquired has some tangible value in some indefinite future that can be acquired - or if they can go public, in which case they can liquidate their positions through a hand-off to some mindless robo funds. See: SVMK

And once again the tech workforce wakes up in the gutter wearing clown makeup and wondering what happened.

In a functioning economic regulatory environment the whole "Spend big money upfront to Capture & Control $MARKET" game would have been illegal from the get go.

What you're saying doesn't make sense.

None of the things you list can be 'cured' by even a very well-funded start-up, not under any circumstances. Not even remotely close.

Venture capitalists attempt to earn a return for their investors. How do you plan to do that by ... fighting poverty? Are you going to raise $4 or $5 trillion to spend on poverty over the next 10 years? Because that's what it'll take - at a minimum, and that's just for the US. That's a task for government, not a start-up with $4 million in capital. It's an almost hilariously absurd premise you're floating. Poverty isn't a moonshot problem to be tackled or solved, we already know how to solve it. What's lacking are the necessary, gigantic resources that can only be funded by tax revenue (epic income tax increases).

Curing cancer? There is no cure for cancer. There never will be. What you actually mean is 4,972 cures for different types of cancer that require different approaches. Venture capitalists have been massively funding that effort for many decades. There will never be a cancer cure moonshot because it's impossible.

Fixing climate change? Yeah one of those venture capital firms with a trillion dollars should really solve that one. VC firms have in fact been making a dent in that for decades by funding the progress of renewable energy. You don't solve climate change with a moonshot, you make slow, incremental progress. There are no alternatives, no other scenario is possible or will occur. The notion of a moonshot for climate change is a pipe dream.

Inventing fusion power? You're lucky if you move the needle a fraction of an inch with hundreds of millions of dollars. The only entities that can make a meaningful difference in fusion are governments and people like Bill Gates that can throw a billion dollars at a problem and not sweat the losses.
So much of the frustration in the U.S. is rooted in the mismatch between what civilians want and what elective representatives are doing. Time and time again when civilians express their frustration - like what's going on now in these nationwide protests - our elected representatives tell us to just calm down and "go show your frustration at the next elections if you want to see change".

It strikes me as awfully out of touch because that's exactly what we've been doing all along, yet we don't see the results we want. So either it's our fault because we just suck at this voting thing, or there are systemic inefficiencies in our elective representative democracy.

Liquid democracy seems to be the ideal form of democracy because it gives every citizen the freedom to vote directly on the issues, or to delegate their vote if they wish. Liquid democracy was not technically feasible in 1787 when the U.S. Constitution was written, but technology has come a long way since then.

It's a shame that it's almost considered sacrilege to even suggest that the political system our founding fathers devised over 200 years ago may not actually be perfect in 2020, and could be improved with some modernization.

Activists want to eat their cake and have it too.

On the one hand they say platforms may exercise “their” free speech by moderating posts or banning people and that’s okay because it’s a private co. and not obliged to be platform for everyone.

Then on the other hand a different company also exercises its free speech (under their own argument) by not moderating posts and now that’s bad because some speech should be moderated and they disagree with those voices.

So like basically they’re for corporate free speech when they agree with the controls but are against it when they disagree with the results.

Just say it. We only want to allow our approved views — we don’t want free speech.

And not only that but they protest free speech but totally don’t walk out when they unscrupulously slurp up data on everyone.

Is part of the problem not reading the mythical man month, and trying to hire your way out of problems that don't work that way. I honestly don't get why there would be more than around 25-30 software developers working for Uber, generally speaking. I mean other resources around them, sure...

Many companies will be stuck needing things done, hire teams and teams of new developers and things will only fall farther behind as a result.

Instead of more designers, ux, management, leadership, review, marketing ahead of development so a clear experience is defined for a given project, they try to divide into more developer teams each bottle-necked more than if there were just fewer dev teams.

Meanwhile, so much money is spent trying to get the smallest uplift in efficiencies when the problems tend to be systematic.
