And keep in mind, we don't have a "pure" capitalism like the insane libertarian types would. (Remember how Ron Paul said Civil Rights legislation was unnecessary because the market would have taken care of it?

It took years of fixing the system with child labour laws, union laws, anti-discrimination laws, factory strikes, workers riots, civil rights laws, minimum wage, etc.

Capitalism works in the Nations where it does because of years of regulation to make it more fair and to weed out exploitation.

People wanting to dismantle the state right now (and make no mistake, many of these riots have a lot of anarco-anti-cap/antifa people in them causing the violence) do not understand they will not get a better State. They'll be lucky to get some stable regions, but when a State falls there's a power vacuum. Then you have to start over .. and there will be a ton of corruption until you get everything "right" again.

Nice! It's always good to see corporates fight against elected politicians that are hostile to projects like HQ 2. This is not dystopian at all.
Unfortunately Walmart’s in-store selection is often junk. For example, I bought some rope to tie down furniture in a truck; they at least had some braided nylon cable, or so I thought. When I cut it to length, it had a foam core and the “braiding” was just a deceptive sheath around the cable. I went back to the store and there were no other options. Given their extreme pressure on suppliers, I don’t trust their food offerings either.
Some unions are in fact quite useful. For example, non-union electricians are often asked to do dangerous work and often have little to no recourse. Truck drivers also have unions and its one of the reasons that driving a truck is still a profession that can provide a good quality of life for its workers. Nobody complains about UPS, and every driver is a Teamster.

Public unions are somewhat problematic, I'll give you that. Police are the best example of overpowered unions. Police forces often have tremendous leverage against local governments which makes it hard to keep them in line. What's happened in NYC anytime minor reforms are tried is a disgrace.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't have a problem with workers trying to unionize while recognizing that unions do have issues. Amazon warehouse workers are on the ground doing potentially dangerous work on fast moving floors with robots flying around. I think those people have a right to get paid a living wage given Amazon's profits.

Basically, if you treat your employees happy, they won't have any reason to attempt to unionize.
Lunar should work just fine with f.lux as it only changes the monitor hardware brightness. Color processing from f.lux can still be applied on top of that without any issues.

I've been using Lunar with Night Shift ever since it was released in macOS and they complement each other very well at night.
I am always amused at this kind of approach to immortality. While the copy of me that is reborn would appreciate my preparedness, that doesn't make this copy any less unhappy about dying.
I think Typescript as a standalone language will reach is maximum adoption in a couple of years. Than we will gradually see more and more packages roll-back to standard ECMA script eventually with typescript checks by JsDoc annotation and .d.ts files. That's the more trational solution. Take as case Deno migrating from Typescript to Javascript https://startfunction.com/deno-will-stop-using-typescript/
The motion blur will probably give it away. Accurate video motion blur is computationally expensive but conceptually simple. Just render at about 100 times your target frame rate and average batches of frames together in linear colorspace. You can speed this up by rendering at a lower frame rate (e.g. 10 times your target frame rate), estimating motion, and blurring along the motion vectors before averaging the frames. You can further speed it up by using an adaptive frame rate depending on motion speed and contrast. But a lot of rendered video doesn't even try. Look at a fast-moving bright point of light and you'll easily see the difference.

(But note this is only replicating video, not reality. Truly realistic motion blur requires ultra-high displayed frame rates beyond the capabilities of current hardware.)
Repl.it (YC W18) | Frontend, Fullstack, Programming Language Hackers | SF or REMOTE | https://repl.it/jobs

Repl.it is the first massively open collaborative computing platform where anyone, even without even needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start coding, building, and hosting apps and websites.

Apply if you like working on challenging and impactful problems. Running a service like this is hard to operate, scale, and secure. Also, supporting the number of languages we do (https://repl.it/languages) is a hard tooling problem -- we have to build generic protocols for all IDE actions like executing, debugging, authoring, running tests, writing files, etc. Finally, it's an incredibly challenging frontend/design problem to build a fast collaborative in-browser IDE that's both powerful and simple.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 15 full-time people, we reach millions of coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z.

I agree that the proposition system, whatever purpose it may have served to rein in the railroads BITD, is now a horrible destructive anachronism; but I don't think you need to make a moral argument against Prop 13; a purely functional one works just as well. Proposition 13 has crippled all polities below the state level -- the reason that California has budgets determined almost exclusively by constitutional amendment is that local governments have no funding authority to speak of. So what could be localized solutions to problems become statewide, and ill-fitting, and you end up with basically no discretionary financial ability at the state level.

Did you try the next day delivery items? The items were packed pretty well and was exactly what I expected. Also, there's free returns too for Walmart (for some items). But the best shipping quality was Target but takes a while compared to others and generally more expensive. Everything was packaged so nicely but we have had issues with missing items.

This reminds me of the protests in Reedy Creek in Florida I've heard about. My wife was driving near Downtown Disney (now called Disney Springs) and saw the signs of the protests. They basically held signs saying 'Reedy Creek IS DISNEY' which is basically true as far as anybody is concerned. They're not allowed to have their own police department, but they employ police officers from Orange County. So yeah, if you live in Florida, you'd definitely see how Disney owns more than they probably should.

> Never going to happen, there will always be a point where the company will try to minimize worker salaries as far as it can get away with.

I disagree. Not every company is public, first of all. So not every company is beholden to shareholders who demand endless growth at any cost. There are lots of private companies that are content with the size they are at, and with the revenue they are generating and aren't tempted to start squeezing their employees.
> AT&T argued that "Section 230 immunity should be modified to reduce the gross disparities in legal treatment that have emerged between the dominant online platforms and the traditional purveyors of third-party content, such as book publishers, newspapers, or radio and television businesses. There is no longer any reason that the nation's most powerful online platforms should enjoy legal immunities unavailable to similarly situated traditional companies."

Comparing communication mediums that are 1 entity to many is vastly different than any online forum where the communication is many to many. It's easy to regulate what a newspaper, TV program, or radio station says to its customers because the source of information is controlled by a single or small number of publishers. When you have everyone on the internet communicating to everyone else on the internet, it becomes a lot more difficult to regulate. Not saying it should or shouldn't be, but the comparison they are making doesn't really fit.

Also, not only does the internet have an entirely different communication ecosystem by allowing everyone to communicate, but all the other mediums mentioned are a subset of internet content, which just adds to the complexity. I do not think the current folks in government OR at AT&T are capable of devising a fair and comprehensive law or rewriting an existing law to manage how communication takes place on the internet.

I'm not surprised that this comparison would be made by AT&T.
I think he's suggesting that one of his criteria for package selection is his ability to contribute changes to the upstream project if needed, which he feels he can't do for TypeScript on account of him not knowing the language.

That article is painful to read. In the US with a Tesla everything is easy and automatic on their network. As you say, you can use their network, your credit card is on file, you just plug in and charge. You can use the currently most available third party networks (j1772 charges via a tesla provided adapter), but not the newer and higher power ccs chargers - but other charging network suffer from idiotic network operators who don't fix them frequently. Other cars are also cursed with much lower power AC charging. Companies cheap out by not including reasonable AC charging options onboard. Only Tesla makes it work and reasonable for long distance driving.

Fwiw, I've been using eBay and walmart a lot more lately after getting burned by counterfeits from Amazon. I'm just sick of the hassle. Their support sucks for anything that takes an actual human. With walmart I can go in store and speak to a living human being if I get a counterfeit. EBay and PayPal almost universally side with the buyers. So while I'll never sell anything with eBay or PayPal I'm less annoyed to use their services instead of Amazon. I'm kind of over free two day delivery. If it's not worth expedited shipping, or getting off my ass to buy from a store then I'm waiting for it or not getting it. Most people probably don't need their 37th trendy widget in two days. But their addiction certainly pads bezos pockets.
No, the cost to tax payers in Europe is less than what people in USA have to pay the college.

This is because my University (in Europe) had no sport facilities whatsoever, not even a soccer field. It also had no dormitories, canteens, no fancy library, sport teams etc.

It did teaching + research, and nothing else.

I would think most Typescript packages today would fall under the author's second criterion:

> picking packages that are well-maintained by a large community

Whether or not the author feels they can directly contribute to a Typescript package, overall Typescript seems to balancing the scale on npm in favor of well-maintained and large community. Admittedly, I've been a fan of Typescript since 0.97 so I'm biased but I very deeply feel that you cannot have well-maintained in JS overall without Typescript.

I don't see that as weakening the ecosystem at all, in that the rising tide of Typescript quite clearly seems to me to reflect a rising tide of maintenance in the ecosystem.

Obviously opinions will continue to vary, but I certainly invite the author to spend at least a bit more time with Typescript before jumping to the conclusion that Typescript is neither well maintained nor encourages a large community as it this article implies if the author truly does not feel comfortable under their own criteria of worse case treating typescript as a blackbox similar to C/WASM and trusting communities that do use Typescript.

I think the attempted analogy between C and Objective-C especially points out that probably at least a bit more familiarity with Typescript might help the author a ton. The comparison between C and Objective-C seems pretty weak to me. Objective-C makes a ton of syntax changes to the language. Typescript makes relatively few. About the best comparison I can think of is Python and MyPy with the only missing piece being a PEP 3107 [1] equivalent asking browsers to support Typescript annotations even if they don't understand them.

What the analogy says to me, if Typescript looks foreign enough from JS to the author as Objective-C to C is much more that JS itself has changed so much in the last few years that the author is perhaps behind on what ES2015+ flavors of JS look like as most of what makes Typescript look "foreign" today really is just JS today. It may be worth digging more into Typescript simply to learn more about how JS is evolving/has evolved.

That's kind of surprising. Bachelors, Masters or Phony-Doctor?

"Among borrowers of all ages [1/3 of adults under 30] with outstanding student loan debt, the median self-reported amount owed among those with less than a bachelor’s degree was $10,000 in 2016. Bachelor’s degree holders owed a median of $25,000, while those with a postgraduate degree owed a median of $45,000."

And that's in 2016

> I really just wish Nvidia would get its shit together with Linux drivers. Ubuntu has done some great work making things easier and just work,

This has been my experience. Ubuntu "just works". What would get better with what you propose? (speaking from ignorance)
No, JavaScript being the kind of language that requires 3rd parties to implement what should be core features is what creates fragmentation.

There was similar fragmentation with JavaScript's async patterns. Callbacks, promises, async/await also resulted in fragmentation as you had different projects supporting different patterns as 3rd parties introduced new capabilities (that eventually graduated into fully-fledged language features).

Hopefully the best of what TypeScript provides will make its way into the ECMAScript spec eventually...

I think there may be a misunderstanding. I too know that nobody published TypeScript packages directly in NPM, but they always include a transpiled version. Nevertheless it'd consider it a "TypeScript package (that was transpiled to JS and then published to NPM)".

Edit: To make sure this misunderstanding is avoided, I've adjusted a section in the blog post to make it super clear.
That's not really what I'm talking about. For instance, a few years ago when I was really into Elm, I wanted to implement a WebAudio library. Back when Elm was an FRP language, I thought it would be a great fit with the language's model.

I even got a proof of concept working and showed it off in the Elm Slack.

And then I got told my library would not get accepted on the official package repository because the core team was developing their own "correct" abstractions for the main Web APIs and they did not want third-party libraries to compete with the core team's libraries, as regular web developers don't know what they're doing and are incapable of choosing the "right" abstractions, which apparently only the Elm core team is capable of doing.

That experience turned me off Elm for good.

Flash forward to 2020: There is still no "official" Web Audio library. (There are a few non-official ones on Elm Packages)

It's your right to side with the core team, but they're the ones pretty much killing the language's chance to see any real usage.
It's a common problem actually. Private shuttle companies complain they are unable to compete with all the benefits etc. Government monopolies are the absolute worst for this reason.
