> I wish I could give you some examples of what I mean, but I can't think of anything right now.

I got one. I almost wrote a monstrosity the other day involving a nasty heap of reflection in order to make a program more generic and reusable. I ended up defeating half of the polymorphism and type system features of the language I was using.

In the end there was no “good way” to solve the problem thanks partially to artificial constraints, but I rewrote it so that at least one could get a reasonable idea of what the code was doing.
An idea very similar to what we have developed some years ago. A much older version of it is still publicly available however not maintained (moved to private repo, more on this in a second):
https://github.com/intelix/reactiveservices
some runnable examples are here: https://github.com/intelix/reactiveservices-examples

And the screenshot is the early version of the real app built on it

Conceptually it's the same to what described in conductor, however you are in full control how the data is synced, how and to what you subscribe etc.

It was built, first of all, for the application in forex trading, so there are some "specific" features, such as optimised binary stream with delta-only updates, priority on the data streams, demand-based backpressure, subscription based on the visibility of the data, very low latency, cross-dc clusters and many more.

How it works is described (in rather over-simplified way) on the github page. There's a choice of scala or java on the back end, and react on the client side. Websocket only. Like I mentioned, the currently exposed source code is not maintained and based on the very old version of react (there are still mixins in the example) and libs, and has some vulnerabilities.

The latest version of the framework is maintained in the private repo, and we have built a number of solutions on it over the years, and not only in the forex space. It is well suited for most Single-page apps.

Latest version uses latest react features, hooks based, and the server side has seen significant changes as well.

Why we decided to keep it private? We thought world already have enough web frameworks, and since, we thought, our framework and approach was such a niche, we just kept using it for our clients and our own projects. But since then we have been surprised how easily it could be applied to other fields, and yet there's still nothing like this is available. GraphQL with subscriptions probably is the closes, but not good enough.

Is there any interest in something like this in the community? If so, we can definitely make large parts of the framework, which is now 6yo, public.
Of course, 'negotiation' concludes faster when it's one way.
> Beta button will request permission to assess driving behavior using Tesla insurance calculator.

The CA Insurance Board should have some questions about this. According to the paperwork filed by State National (the actual insurance company, it's just branded as Tesla) information about driving habits (hard braking, etc) is not used for the insurance pricing.

Also, CA explicitly does not allow that information to be used for rating - so what algorithm are we discussing here? Prop 103 does not allow for any of this information to be used in rating. Seems like this is just a blatant lie trying to make it seem like Tesla Insurance is more than it is.
eh, the idea is cool.

but I'm not downloading an application just for a simple use case that a website could take care of.

(Otherwise I'd have a bunch of unnecessary apps I use rarely or not at all after the first one or few times. This is what happened with phone apps-- the phone app market got saturated and people rapidly stopped caring about phone apps).

Instead, I'd add your "Look up <some value proposition> domain name" website's link to a document I have on resources for marketing-- a document that includes links to business name generators.

But an app? Nah. That's overkill: Your app does not need access to my computer. I'll find an alternative (hosted online) and use it instead.
These artists didn't get good overnight either. Samplers and drum machines are very much instruments that take time to learn how to use 'properly'
No need to make a separate comment thread about other the results of other threads. If the other threads have been truly resolved then there are already comment chains to read. On the other hand if they were not actually resolved then all of the discussion is now split and duplicated.

Regarding availability what exactly about making a web app restricts you from offering a downloadable copy?

Regardless it looks like a web version is now on the roadmap according to the site.
Nice anti-vax propaganda. I appreciate how important it is for some to transform hope into FUD - no matter how much integrity they forfeit in the process.

So anyway the truth is vaccines absolutely slow the spread of Covid, something easily verified many, many ways. Comparing counties with high vaccination rates against neighboring counties with low vaccination rates is just one easy way.

This is something that folks do, who don't get their info from Covid Conspiracy Theory Videos (CCTV) or other anti-vax propaganda outlets - who aren't laser focused on drowning out the broad consensus of qualified experts.
I got curious whether Manic Miner actually found a way to do actual hires without added hardware, but this answer claims it's also (just) pseudo hires... although a rather impressive example of it, I wasn't sure from the video you posted:

Truly. The only thing that matches it in terms of the physical is Xnm chip production and atomic level physics research. But those are far less hands on, and require tens of millions in equipment (plus the parts areade by machinists anyway).

Weird. If I watch a music video I get recommendations to watch crackpots challenging vaccines or claiming that Nancy Pelosi is passing Sharia Law. Maybe I should watch more supplements videos, that seems to be the sell from the recommended videos.
Honestly, I'm kind of hoping Biden keeps pulling moves like that.

My biggest worry with a Biden presidency was that he'd undo Trump's effect on US image. There's increased awareness in EU countries now that the US cannot be relied on, and that any relationship with them will always be one of vassalage (see also the proposed US-UK deal after brexit).

There's still a serious chance Biden might be a return to business as usual, with EU countries courting the US favor instead of trying to be a rival superpower.

So I do hope he keeps pulling out these blatant "fuck you"s to allied countries. Now is way past time to rip the band-aid off.
> Oh, it obviously isn't simple, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to abolish slavery and let women vote, I couldn't agree more.

Slavery didn't carry on so long because people “weren't sure whether it was okay”. It carried on because the powerful wanted slaves. The history of slavery discourse is the history of people inventing new reasons that it's actually a good thing – but the reasons it's a bad thing stay the same, and were even known and remarked upon in Ancient Greece.

Women had the vote in 1264, when the House of Commons was first formed in England, and they had the vote in 1295 when the then-King officially declared the House of Commons part of parliament. In fact, England had universal suffrage (albeit hampered by the lack of secret ballot) until 1430, when it was restricted to forty-shilling freeholders.

Are you really saying these are hard problems? These are problems that were introduced as a means of enabling the concentration of power. The ethics of abortion is a problem introduced by our biology; why would you even expect it to be so easy?

I very much avoid YouTube across the board because this is so consistent.
Well we don't really know that, because studies like this one seem to go out of the way to avoid directly studying that, or at least sharing the results.

Including whether exposure might result in any level of immunity without diagnosis of the disease or without having any obvious symptoms.

But we do know they based their results on the existence of a positive covid test, and we know that people can test positive without knowing it, and without obvious (or any) symptoms that would suggest they were ever sick.

So it would be nice if somebody included those distinctive subsets in one of these studies, especially since they're already including the data for other purposes.

> your point that size does not matter is incorrect. Size certainly does matter. It is more cost effective to service a small region of land where high amounts of people are concentrated

Size as a standalone statistic does not matter. You're correct in this quote but it contradicts your earlier point: you earlier put it forth as a separate metric with that land area tool to compare different countries without looking at population at all. I would explain it further but I think we're on the same page, just not sure what makes you think what I wrote is incorrect.
I watched the video, and it is clear that the video is advocating the right for personal firearms. I saw no racism in the video. Unless you would consider any depiction of criminals racist unless it shows criminals of all races (which I am won't).

If this is a legitimate issue, you should have first tried to contact NordVPN through their official bug bounty program [1] with steps to reproduce and exploit's consequences, given them adequate time to fix it, and then gone public with the vulnerability. (As long as your reward terms allowed you to)

They're probably not mopping the issue under the carpet, but rather reddit is not their bug reporting platform.

Though the page does say account takeover is out of scope, so I'm unsure what the program is even for.

Missile subs have large vertical tubes that can quickly be unloaded and loaded with a crane. If a sub can have big missiles you can pack it with pallets of bottles
I'm thinking more along the lines of how car companies can recapture the money that the second owner is saving by buying a used vehicle.

For example instead of selling a car, selling a license to use the car to the first owner and then deactivating features or throttling performance if/when they resell the car.
The whole issue is the general prudence of taking on debt. It's a question of efficiency. Too little and you miss out on opportunities to produce and grow, too much and you're super-fragile.

Over-indebted companies is a very Anglo (US/UK) and Japanese thing. There are plenty of companies in continental Europe (Germany, Italy, France) who operate with much less debt than their US counterparts. A good example is Aldi. They have no debt on their balance sheet anywhere, not even for inventory. By the standards of American business culture, that is 100% absurd.

I'm really not sure who's right. It's optimization vs survival.
Their job isn't to chase other submarines next to Chinese waters. That is suicidal. Chinese submarines are almost as stealthy as the Virginia class, and they'll have to operate in the middle of Chinese anti-submarine warfare. That is to say, they won't survive long.

Their job is to actually sink the merchant ships. The US can't do that easily with surface combatants, because getting close to a strait means compromising your position, which means risking getting suck by a Chinese hypersonic missile.

There is absolutely a sensible retaliation from China, that's to sink the US fleet in the pacific using ground-based weapons which can't be destroyed.

Hence why submarines are interesting to the US, it's the only way to force a blockade without risking destruction by very powerful Chinese anti-shipping weapons that can't be destroyed with ease.

Also, the entire blockade strategy itself is a risky gambit. China has enough stockpiled as far as oil goes to guarantee 100 days at full consumption without any imports, and before any invasion of Taiwan they would make sure to secure enough overland imports, stockpiles, and domestic production to allow for over a year of oil.

Meanwhile the political costs of blockading the Malacca Straits and co will be devastating to the US. It will be the US's Suez Canal Crisis. China will keep Taiwan anyways.

China is definitely going to break through the first island chain. 4-8 Virginia class submarines are not gonna change anything there. They are not invulnerable superweapons, and if they were the US already was going to use them.

Without air supremacy and given the massive concentration of Chinese anti-submarine assets, operating in the first island chain is a completely suicidal option.

The only possible way for this to happen is if somehow the US manages to get Russia on board with a blockade.
Ah yes, cryptonomist.ch. Such a reliable, and unbiased source!
People over a certain age do, and that age tends to be different for different units. I'm 40, and 'natively' think in miles; both litres and pints (but not gallons or fluid ounces); kilos (except personal weight in stones); all of millimetres, centimetres, inches, feet, and metres (but not fractions of inches or things like furlongs or rods); and degrees Celsius (except for outdoor temps which are Fahrenheit). Younger people lose Fahrenheit (no longer used on weather forecasts) and stones, and use pints only for beer (milk in glass pint bottles is now rare). Older people use gallons, hundredweight, fractions of inches, and (especially) pounds and ounces. Everyone uses miles, some people know kms as well.

It's basically a bit of a sticky mess, but one with a clear direction of travel. And this announcement is for cheap popularity amongst older voters, who use metric less. The number of items that will be marked in Imperial only is going too be very small, because it'll confuse the young and mean different packaging is needed to sell abroad. A few cantankerous market traders will probably do it, but it's always been legal to give prices for both measuring systems simultaneously so there's not really much of an issue to solve.
Well then the Australians perhaps should have asked the French to build them nuclear subs, like the French are used to building?
I'm sure the criminals are doing a great job of making sure that they look like they're in the 99.6%!
> is that the above-water visibility aids in navigation and avoidance

You realize that submarines can travel at different depths depending on the direction (bearing), just like planes do?

> What he should have done is spent a week writing a document to senior leadership

Except this rarely works.

For starters, senior leadership also plays games only on higher level.

Second, they don't like wild cards they can't control. And even more, they don't like people who skip chain of command because they want to control the information that passes up from their organization.

And this particular company is extra political.

In my team, there were only people who worked there for more than 10 years or less than a year.

There is special type of person that feels well working there -- one that is fine doing nothing and playing cutthroat politics game. Everybody else quits right away.

It was my mistake for not learning this before I joined. I have now a protocol to look for that kind of thing.
Tell me again. Why have any normally equity- ellible staff NOT resigned today? Act like sheep and you deserve to be treated as a herd. Proud of building a great company? You didn't. You built an organized crime venture.
> But their factual reports tend to be more accurate than the mainstream media.

How do you know that?
Seems to me there is a continuum of vaporware-->MVP-->real product, and the art of it is to know where on that line to start.

As a repeat tech co-founder, I easily fall into the trap of being a perfectionist & a complete-ist, always wanting to add one more feature or refactor one more poorly designed aspect of the project. So I appreciate this article as it pulls in the other direction.

However I think doing what he calls MVT's -- basically sub-standard, feature-poor, non-scalable MVP's -- can lead you astray, or simply fail to properly test the hypotheses in question.

In the end it comes down to judgement and experience. I've taught myself to put time-to-market at the top of my list of priorities, but it is still a struggle between wanting to 'get it right' vs missing the opportunity or chasing the wrong assumptions.

You may be technically correct about the previous poster's claims, but that says nothing to the fact that we simply don't have a low cost, low expectation electric vehicle in the USA.
To be fair France did it too. Looking at arms deal from rich democracies is a sure way to become really cynical.
I hope the Australians are aware of the disposal cost of nuclear submarines - if I’m right the UK has yet to fully dispose of any of their retired nuclear submarines; they are just sitting in harbour. If Australia is alright with that, or the US agreed to do disposal for them, then that’s fine I guess.
> (most expensive sector is metrology)

Absolutely. But ohhhh... those instruments. I saw a friend with an electronic gauge put it on one end of a 1' bar of steel. He put the gauge on one end and zeroed it. Then he breathed on the other end. We watched the needle cliiiiiiiimmmmbbb.... then fall back to zero over 3 minutes or so.
That's the point. It forces the poors to live like "good poors" in an urban apartment and ride the bus rather than living on the outskirts and driving a shitbox.

That is because US/UK nuclear submarines use weapons-grade highly enriched uranium, French submarines only use reactor-grade enriched uranium. The US has been trying to stop non-nuclear weapons states from adopting highly enriched uranium for naval propulsion on the grounds of proliferation risk; they've decided to make an exception here for Australia. However, the US will supply that uranium to Australia, Australia has agreed not to attempt to enrich it themselves.

Australia could have gone with US nuclear submarines, but still thrown some sops to the French, like some engineering consulting or training cooperation or buy some components from them or something. France would not have liked that, but still would likely have been more happy than they are now, where they've been shut out completely. Even if Australia/UK/US tried to include France somehow, but it didn't work out, would have gone down better than the current situation in which they never took France into the conversation.
The most recent submarine program (Virginia class) was effectively on-budget.
