> "Are they too delicate to take public transportation?"

No. The public transit agency is just not competent to provide effective public transportation -- not from Noe Valley to Mountain View, anyway. The equivalent technology worker in New York has access to an effective subway system and takes it as a matter of routine.

That's not too hard to understand, is it? :P

(Though I should note, lest I call the MTA competent, that much of that system was privately-built and inherited by the city when it got crushed by a fluke of changing US monetary policy :P)
Does anyone have some insight into how Akaros compares to (and contrasts with) Dragonfly BSD?
Removing event management from React core is a common request but it wouldn't really be a wise decision.

1. Need a way to manage events: All the applications are handling events in one way or another. So you've got to have a way to implement event handling in a React application.

2. Cannot use existing event libraries: Because React manages its own Virtual DOM and has a very declarative nature, it is not easy to use raw DOM imperative APIs in other to implement event handling. Therefore, you cannot just plug in any event handling library, you've got to have one that works on-top of the Virtual DOM abstraction.

3. Performance is a requirement: The way you code in React is by describing the way you want the DOM to look like at all time. If not implemented properly, the performance is extremely bad. The fact that we implement global event delegation is not just a bonus, for some of our apps adding/removing event listeners is actually the bottleneck.

4. Bonuses: Having compatibility for IE8 and custom event plugins is actually the cherry on-top of the cake. Since React has its own event management, supporting those is pretty trivial and isn't a big amount of code.

We worked very hard so that React core is extremely small and doesn't contain "other useful webapp stuff". We have a special addons section for that: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/addons.html
correct. they make no sense. they're senseless. insane. useless. they haven't heard the shot. 20 years of internet and they're still fucking around. they need to die. they need to die a very, very painful death. but that's upon us.

Very very very cool.
I don't know.

If the cops who did stuff like this were actually punished, if the dept. came right out and said, this shouldn't have happened, we're gonna do this and this to fix it.. I wouldn't be afraid.

Instead I see, well, he must have pissed them off somehow, just be quiet and maybe nothing bad will happen to you.

All my encounters with cops have been good, but I understand the police dept. where I am is a pretty good one. Still, it only takes one bad encounter, one bad cop, to ruin my life.

I'm not gonna stop from calling the cops because I'm afraid of them. Someone else's life, their health, matters more than what could or couldn't happen to me. But I can't support this system and I don't know what to do about it.
So awesome and true. There is no situation the police can't make worse.
In other words, this campaign had the viewership of about one moderately popular YouTube video.
It probably has something to do with the fact that traditional radio is viewed as more of a promotional tool to drive record sales than a revenue stream.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payola

Enter Pandora which even though it has radio in the name is different in that the user has a greater degree of control. So Where as artist were accepting that they didn't make much off traditional radio and viewed getting play time as good publicity they probably don't view Pandora and services like that in the same light. In fact they might even view them as cutting into Record and digital download sales.

> You can simultaneously recognize that the system is biased against certain races while also avoiding infighting based upon race.

maybe you and i can, but in practice, that doesn't really happen. one of the biggest problems with our social justice movement is the complete lack of unity. many times when i see privilege brought up, it's used to invalidate opinions and justify hate towards those with more privilege ("i'm oppressed so my hate is irrelevant compared to the oppression inflicted on me"), not as a simple reminder of people's relative advantages or disadvantages. the crux of the problem is that the issues of a minority community have a much greater chance of being solved with support outside of that specific community.

but groups that advocate for social justice for minority groups too often create a dialogue of hate and "oppressor / oppressed", and outright exclude those who don't belong to the oppressed community for which they are advocating. in this way these communities become insular echo chambers, since rather than taking outside voices with a grain of salt, outside voices are simply not tolerated. the dialogue becomes more and more partisan / hateful and the rift between relatively advantaged and relatively disadvantaged groups grows wider.
The entire modern era of our civilization lies in the shadow of the French Revolution. It accelerated the rise of republics and democracies and the spread of every modern political ideology of today. 'Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen' is not only a fundamental document of the Revolution but also the first (Western?) document to define all rights of men to be universal; valid at all times and in every place and pertaining to human nature itself.

I think that's pretty damned positive.
This is what I haven't understood about criticism of MongoDB. Don't some people have projects that dont need to scale to an incredible degree?

According to this article, Dolores and 18th is Noe Valley and the Tenderloin is a few blocks away. That's the kind of crack reporting that makes me think this article is worth sharing.
This is a bad idea. If for some reason it escalates and they need to check that, lying about your identity to a police officer is a crime in many states and you could be in much more trouble.
boss, I'm glad you answered this question. Because it explains the impetus for Keybase.

I think what Keybase is addressing in the status quo is twofold: (1) sadly, almost no one does what you describe; in person meeting key exchanges and webs of trust may sadly be as unpopular in 20 years as they are now, and as they were 20 years ago. People who go to them are often confused, even programmers. I wish it were different.

And (2) more important, in 2014, often the person you're dealing with is someone whose digital public identity is what matters, not their face in real life or phone number. If you know me online as github/malgorithms and twitter/malgorithms, to get my key, meeting someone in person or talking on the phone to someone who claims to be me is actually less compelling than a signed statement by malgorithms in all those places you know me.

And if you do know me in real life, then I can tell you my keybase username and fingerprint, exactly as you're used to. So it's still as powerful for meeting in person. With the added benefit you can confirm my other identities, which you likely know to.

In answer to your scenario about verifying: you only need to review the "maria" the server provides once, and then your private key signs a full summary of maria -- her key and proofs. Cases 2 through 1000 of performing a crypto action on maria involve you only trusting your own signature of what "maria" is. The client can query the server for changes to her identity, and this will be configurable; if maria adds a new proof, you might wish to know.
I don't think laws and law enforcement are products in this regard. There are, after all, certain functional requirements for people to live together in cities and two of these appear to be some sense of private property and protection against violent crime. Another is management of infrastructure.

These three things regulate the space between households. The government, however defined, must monopolize them because otherwise you give tremendous power to the hands of private corporations. At least with a government there are political constraints that there are not with a corporation.

However the argument over monopoly I don't think comes down to this. I haven't yet met a libertarian who thought that murder should be legal absent a contract to the contrary, nor have I yet met one that thought that big business should be able to control all roads and exclude whoever they want from travelling. If you would argue these things, I suppose you'd be the first at least that I have met.

The disagreement I think is actually a disagreement that hasn't really been brought to in much of the Libertarian community. The problem with monopolies are scale and power problems and these are the same problems with government in the US today as well. We want to prevent monopolies by decentralizing power in the marketplace. The desire I think is to do the same in government space. So the argument is over a decentralized government model vs a heavily centralized government model.

I think if folks came to realize that that is exactly what is desired, it would be easier for Distributsts and Libertarians to make common cause. After all, does it really matter whether a city is formally private or public sector? What does matter is that government power is distributed and that it is held most strongly where it is closest to the people.
The "too bad it's inhabited" line is an old joke that gets applied to every country.

Either way, I find "shut up" to be inhibitive of civil discourse in all but the rarest of situations.
It's "gentrification" when people with money move in, and "white flight" when they move out. Chase those tech workers out and watch public tax revenue, infrastructure, police force, and schools go down the tube.

Presumably, progressives want people making decent money to stay exactly where they are and neither come nor leave

But the real reason for the protests is that it offers a sense of belonging and meaning in a post-religious world. God may be dead, but now we have social justice

I had kind of low expectations for this (because it's creating artificial time pressure on a long-term issue, which is necessary, but very difficult), and was amazed by how well it went. Congratulations.

It was kind of awesome calling a rep and being told "oh, she is an original co-sponsor of the legislation you're calling about...".

It's pretty clear this is going to be a sustained battle through the press, in the courts, through the legislature (especially in 2014 and 2016 elections), and in technology development. Thanks for this step!
The... the whole point of this is to avoid the "you could add friend mappings with key fingerprint + nickname" part. You do realize that, right?

Non-cooperation is just as likely to make a cop lose interest as cooperation. When you cooperate to the degree that you're obligated to, and decline where you're not, that can cause a cop who respects the law and knows that they have no cause to move on, and I've seen it happen often. It can also piss him/her off and make them decide to try to ruin your life. The more you speak to a cop, the more likely you are to say something that you'll regret. The only indication that talking will cause the cop to let you walk away is the gentle look in his eyes.

Thinking that you can control the situation is a mistake. If the result of this police contact results in a criminal charge, you may have saved yourself from the worst possible outcome (at the time) by being silent. You can't make a cop not beat you to death by talking.

Silence is simply a dominant strategy.

This may be where the rest of SF's population gets the impression that Googlers, et al are privileged or believe themselves so. The public transit system is good enough for the rest of them but not for us.

so I'm guessing in this analysis you are the judge of what's silly and what's not? Chances are, all the ones you regarded as silly were going against you.

Then the only difference between hushmail and your model is exactly what the FBI will get a subpoena to have you type into your server to subvert your users. The models are equivalently insecure.

Incidentally, you can't simply audit the "front-end Javascript"; you have to evaluate everything that influences the Javascript runtime (the DOM, stylesheets, cached resources, &c) every time the page loads. Browsers aren't designed to make content-controlled code "auditable"; it simply isn't a capability of the environment.
No, I'm saying there is a continuum of reactions, and we have a poor picture of it. Establishing that there is a non-zero population on one extreme doesn't establish very much about the distribution.

You appear to be arguing something along the line of "A: Gluten-free diets have become a fad B: I think that's silly C: Therefore gluten is safe." Yes, I'm interpolating a bit, but it seems to be your general thrust. There's substantial but non-determinative reasons to believe the picture may be much more complicated than that, particularly the rising incidence of celiac disease (which, as the article says, appears to be a real thing and not merely better detection, which was my most-likely belief until I read this article).

We've been eating non-zero amounts of gluten for millenia, but a lot of things have changed in the past few decades; how it is processed, what it is in, even perhaps things like I mentioned in my previous post, such as a generation raised on rather more baby formula than before. We have rather poor data, but something's going on.

My position has not changed one whit in this conversation.

I won't pretend to fully understand it either, but self-proclaimed anarchists that I've talked to online have indicated that they do respect private and personal property. A man could own a baseball bat in the property sense, but a company could not own property at all (or at least, property they expect not to be damaged by an anarchist).

I don't necessarily agree with the frustrations expressed in the article, but it does make it clear that stopping buses is just the focal point used to air protesters' larger grievances. From the article:

>Robles said the protests that he and his group are involved with aren't about the buses but about unaffordable rents and the wave of evictions of seniors and the disabled.

>"That's why we're stopping the damn Google buses!" he said. "You think I'm doing this for my health? I want to go out there and stop buses? No, I don't want do that, but I'm forced to do that!..."
At one point, I wish I could shout like him. There are stuffs that are obvious: it is simple ideas.
You speak about it nicely and you get scorned.
Then, you doubt, you persist and you discover that you were right: it is now obvious, and still they laugh at you.
So maybe, nervously, you laugh even louder.
A bunch of people slinging hyperbole around sidetracks the conversation more than anything else.
NO! This is a private matter, not one for legislation. It simply gives big brother the means to stop us completely from talking with anyone not in shouting distance. Terribly, terribly dangerous.
> The equivalent technology worker in New York has access to an effective subway system and takes it as a matter of routine.

A lot of technology workers in New York traveling 50 miles to work by subway? I'm just asking because that's about the distance from Trenton NJ to Manhattan.

Many people would rightly consider that to be a little outrageous and would maybe consider moving closer to their work instead of treating their city like a suburb they like to hang out at on the weekends.

Edit: It is actually about 35 miles from 18th/Dolores to Google HQ, not 50. That's more like commuting from Brooklyn to New Brunswick.
So much of this would go away if the city would just loosen its building and zoning regulations.
Thanks for the feedback, and for checking out Penflip. Usability is definitely not a trivial task to solve, especially while trying to maintain all of the version control power that comes with git.

That said, when was the last time you played around with Penflip? I've received lots of similar feedback (too technical, too hard to use, cluttered UI) so I'm continually stripping down the interface and simplifying everything. In the past few weeks the writing interface has been cleaned up quite a bit. Still has a ways to go, but it's getting there.
I was thinking the same thing, this would be a great feature.

I'd take it a step further and say that all on-duty officers should have to wear cameras that stream continuously into a third party repository.

The BART police are mandated to wear cameras in the wake of the killing of Oscar Grant. Unfortunately it's up to them to activate the camera. Recently a BART cop was shot & killed by another officer when searching a robbery suspect's home. Supposedly none of those officers had their cameras running.

You seem to be doing well. I would not have known that you were not a native speaker if you had not said so.
My guess: it's a control issue. Direct license deals can be done behind closed doors, and that privacy is worth a lot in controlling other negotiations.

When any guy off the street can pay $0.005 or whatever to stream your content, your bargaining position is already compromised, because the guy has an alternative to negotiating with you at all.

With a direct deal, you could employ all kinds of strategies. Charge different rates for different songs. Give discounts to some players. Keep the contract short-lived to keep them coming back. I think a lot of that goes out of the window with compulsory licensing.

It's crazy to me that buses have become the flashpoint of controversy about silicon valley companies, enough to drive protestors in the street. i guess it's really true when they say all politics are local.

i don't live with these buses around every day, but at least they are on a bus and not creating traffic jams with cars. pretty thoughtful that they are taking buses in that respect - downright neighborly.

in terms of tech industry issues that affect the national and/or local community, i guess people have a hard time caring about more abstract issues like tax evasion or immigration.

taxes pay for various public services, whether national or local. one can argue about the details of which governments would get what funds, but the offshore cash balances are largely "dead" money waiting for a tax holiday, and not going to be meaningfully reinvested.

if we drop the white collar aspect of immigration reform, the "comprehensive" changes the tech industry is advocating will increase the quantity of semi and unskilled labor, further contributing to pressure on the lower half of the income scale. but by all means - let's get rid of those buses.
Mayor Lee needs to give every SF resident a Google bus, or provide clean buses for the people who DO NOT work a large tech companies like Google. kthxbai
