Ironically, I've heard the argument that, for the malleable website case, most people will save time, money, and security headaches by avoiding the traditional CMS.

My point is that the traditional CMS is falling out of favor as the default solution for content on the Web. Need a blog? Wordpress is increasingly NOT the solution. As developers, we are trending away from the one-size-fits-all CMS and into specialized categories of CMS.

The CMS renaissance is due to two factors:

1) A proliferation of great tools emerging into a toolchain ecosystems. Node's Grunt and Gulp are fine examples. This is largely different than the traditional CMS because...

2) Developers are increasingly wanting to gain more control over our craft.
It's enough for the drones to be semi-autonomous. The controllers mark detected airplanes as friend/foe manually, and on-board AI does the maneuvering and shooting.
The author's conference paper [0] has more details, although not enough to remove all the doubts.

But I guess the main goal of the article is to show that, even though "radiation detector" sounds like a complicated thing to most people, or at least requiring some nontrivial components, it is actually possible to get started with DIY experimentation with very few and simple components and little effort. You might indeed get better results with ZnS:Ag phosphor sheets, but by showing that it is possible to build at least something with just a webcam that people already have you massively increase the likelihood that the reader actually starts to build and experiment. And when people already start experimenting, then many of these potential problems get incrementally noticed, figured out, and removed, and all kinds of cool projects can result. But yes, it would, indeed, have been nice if the article would have provided more information about testing the detector against various potential interferences and problems.

"The fact that people like you can escape is very encouraging: it means we still have class mobility"

Sorry, my analogy is perfectly apt. Your argument was that the fact that there were survivors means there is mobility, but in no way is that reasoning sound. You must compare the number who thrive to the number who don't, or else your methodology is terribly compromised.

Of course, now (but not before) you've started to do that, albeit in the rather unscientific method of, people who know who fit your judgment of certain criteria. There are various other cognitive biases at play here, e.g. fundamental attribution error.

But even if we were to pretend that you, unlike anyone else, could somehow accurately judge the reality of the situation based on your childhood memories, take a look at the criteria you mentioned. You had to include "were lucky enough to stay in decent health" - as if health was merely determined by luck, and not wealth! Access to doctors, medicine, and quality food are not distributed evenly in society.

You, just like me and everyone else, don't have anywhere near the ability to draw reasonable conclusions about class mobility (or lack thereof) as methodological research. But please don't go promoting fallacious thinking by saying things like "the fact that you survived means we have mobility." It means no such thing.
Ah, don't forget that HN-types determine the future direction of products, services, and tools. If that weren't true, what are we all doing here?
Yes, but they are not comparing future performance to past performance, but rather to that of similar firms.
Horizon corrects the wrong orientation regardless of the translation/position of the device. Small translation differences along the X or Y axis can be corrected by the stabilisation algorithm. Large translation deltas, however, cannot be corrected.

A Story in the Making
Sure, I will be sending specific notes in the next 15 minutes or so. Guys, trust me, this is the best introductory text to Meteor out there.. and I have the other book iykwim.
I haven't read the paper, just the article. It's possible some of these are directly addressed, but I would want to know more before any credibility is given to the conclusions.

Some alternative explanations:

- The 'lowest paid CEOs', per their definition, are typically the ones who have the most skin in the game. When you have many CEOs out there with only $1 compensation, and just stock (and not stock grants as the author mention), they will inevitably be on the bottom. Think Zuckerberg, Google, Apple w/ Jobs, etc. One would expect this highly underpaid group to outperform.

- The highest paid CEOs are often times the ones dealing with the most troubled companies. If you were a shareholder of Kodak in 2000 and saw that digital cameras were coming, would you want to pay for the best CEO possible to ensure you could harvest the most out of the company? Kodak would still underperform the market, but maybe they would have underperformed the market more with inferior management.

- This is a little technical, but with an experienced manager pulling in big dollars, it's more likely that this is a well established company and manager that are well understood by the market. This means that the risk premium demanded by investors would be smaller resulting in a higher stock price. This means that the stock has less to move. And on the other hand, more unproven companies with cheaper managers will have higher risk premia demanded by investors, resulting in lower stock price and therefore have more room to go up over time as some of the unknowns are answered.

Ideally we'd need include other variables such as market size and expected growth (P/E Ratio), CEO share ownership, ex-ante company distress, etc. into the analysis. Based on the described methodology, it doesn't sound like that was done.. but again, didn't read the paper itself.
True, but they're buying a business. A purchase that's strictly infrastructure would rule out the business relationships and contracts and would be significantly cheaper, especially given that the existing customers are free to remain customers (although who's to say what they'll do when they suddenly are exposed to the competition...)

This is such a killer point and neatly sums it up.

This is also why I think basic income would be so great for a startup CEO. If there is a sensible government system for guaranteeing my survival, I can put all the business revenue back into the business. I'll grow more quickly.

You think arbitrage&liquidity between exchanges via instant confirmation is not well suited for exchanges?

With all due respect, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe you run a major exchange. There are loads of factors that need to be considered including legal, fraud, security, timezones, multi-hop settlement times (transactions that involve crossing assets) for which we are perhaps one hop and which rely on speed and precalculable latencies, etc. Basically, if anything at all to do with running and exchange seems 'obvious', you probably don't have the whole picture.

Furthermore, most of these issues are better solved in a manner that is not asset-specific or intimately connected to an asset-specific settlement network, ie. we really don't want Bitcoin to provide its own, half-assed solution for what is not a Bitcoin-specific problem.
Ruined? You've got to be kidding.

The motto when the Eagle was being designed was "Not a pound for air to ground." This was consistent through the A model to the C model. But a funny thing happens when you design an aircraft with incredible performance; it can often succeed in secondary roles. This was true of the F-15, and it was also true of the F-14. This isn't something new, it harkens back to WW2 with the P-47.

Considering the success of the F-15 in all of it's models, I'd love to see what you consider is ruined about its design.

You don't have to run JVM Clojure to run Closure. JVM Clojure is the slow part. Port the ClojureScript compilation to Node and still call Closure.
After reading the relevant chapter of Cialdini's Influence, my take is that it's easy for cult leaders to brainwash people because they've read it too. And, of course, because they're evil, greedy bastards. Presumably, many people could do it but don't.

GM, in the bad-old-days of planned obsolescence, was focused on screwing their customers.

The F-35 program is designed to extract as much money as humanly possible from the US Treasury.

There are pharmaceuticals designed the same way. In tandem with lobbyist-penned laws that (a) ban Medicare from negotiating drug prices and (b) ban them from refusing any treatment deemed "medically necessary" they are patent-protected pipelines for moving taxpayer dollars into offshore accounts that are (unsurprisingly) tax free.

The list goes on.
Out of interest once they reach a certain level of basic ability wouldn't it be easier to have them in "packs" rather than trying to basically replicate everything a human pilot can do in a single drone?

If you have a "pack" of drones big enough that a single enemy combat aircraft can't take them all down at once then if an enemy aircraft were to fire on a drone in the "pack" it could automatically be designated an enemy and be hunted by the remainder?
You can tell by this guy's body language (touching lips and chin) that he is lying about something or everything.
This is really cool, really nice level of abstraction.

The 303 example in the environments in which I learned computer music fundamentals (PD, Max, CSound, Supercollider) would require either much more or less understanding and/or 3rd party implementations of components to generate something similar. Most importantly the sound is really nice.

Btw the categorisation of it being a DAW is dependent on the user perspective, I've created what I would consider to be DAW equivalents in Max/Pure Data, that facilitate audio/midi recording and playback; just because a toolkit doesn't do stuff for you automatically doesn't mean it isn't capable.
DAW in my opinion is just a marketing term not a descriptive one.

I've been involved with a number of DNS related companies and projects.

Your biggest cost sink will be abuse. Some peddler of illicit images or terror group will set up camp, Amazon will take down all of your records. You'll realize you need to run your own infrastructure. You setup a few boxes. Someone starts selling fake rolexes and your boxes get taken offline. You move them to a friendlier host. A HYIP gets setup under your domain and they don't pay someone, which results in a 150 Gbps DDoS attack. The FBI shows up. You get cynical dealing with the lowest scum of the internet on a regular basis. People are constantly asking for new features and unwilling to pay. You're funding the whole thing out of pocket. Eventually Dyn shows up and offers to take the whole thing off your hands. A year later they shut it down. Some guy on Hacker News announces some Dynamic DNS or free DNS hosting provider, and you smirk to yourself.
Not sure why you are in California. Health care is bloody expensive there, somewhere else you could afford house AND hospital. And other states offer many outdoor activities as well.
I agree - I find the idea of static site generators (SSGs) very appealing, but they are not user-friendly to setup - unless you happen to be technically-minded. Some tell-tale signs that SSGs are made by programmers for other programmers: command line-installation and configuration, a liking for markdown (and a dislike for WYSIWYG).

Just to be clear, I'm not knocking any of this. The fact that people have put their own time and effort into building SSGs and then generously open sourced them is pretty awesome.

In my view, the audience for SSGs, whether intentional or not, is mostly other programmers. What would it take to make an SSG appeal to a broader set of users?
Curious, but what by metric are you judging welfare to not work?

I'm pretty sure fewer people die of malnutrition and more people can eat better food as a result of welfare. I'm pretty sure more people have the ability to keep a roof over their heads because of welfare, too.

Given the current unemployment rates it also seems odd that we'd want to predicate the "success" of welfare on whether it is able to make even more people join the workforce.

There are, of course, many flaws with the system. But asserting that it doesn't work doesn't advance discourse in any meaningful way.
Rapportive Is About To Get Less Useful
> The culture part really rings true for me. I was born in Asia, immigrated to Canada at a very young age, and now I'm in the US. I find it difficult and oftentimes annoying to live in places without this sort of diversity. I've been to, for lack of a better term, "whiter" parts of the US and have always been a bit uncomfortable. I've met very few hostile "real" racists, but in these parts of the country I feel like every time I meet someone I have to first break through the stereotypes attached to my skin color.

Hah. I feel ya. I was born, grew up in Africa. I am of Indian origin. I don't explicit identify as Indian. Hell, being asked if I am from India as the first question from the get go is pretty fucking infuriating for me. It is getting to the point where I occasionally ask if they are European? Not to say this doesn't happen in the big cities like NYC or SF, but it happens way less than it would in Podunk town, USA. But it happens more in SF with its huge Indian tech population than in NYC where tech is just one another industry. This [1] kind of hits too close to home sometimes.

Tragic that we all inevitably grow up to replace the old outdated system we grew up rebelling, nee disrupting, against.

But you can't handwave away the difference without understanding how it would affect the cost of your "cheap counter to the F-35." Do you know how much an AIM-120 costs? How much it weighs? How much reinforcement the wing structure of a drone would require to carry, launch and land with this weaponry?
It is not really just about the restaurants. For example, there is this grocery store in midtown NYC. There are spices there that you cannot fucking literally find in Austin or even San Francisco. Ground fucking mango powder? Boom. Moroccan meat rub? Yes, certainly. That Afghan syrup that you put in water and you grew up drinking? Easy. I have lived in three continents for 3/4th of my life and I have not seen such an amazing place. This is the Istanbul Grand Bazaar compacted in one tiny store in Manhattan. This is the New York Experience.

Some people really like food. You want to live elsewhere? More power to you. Just don't fucking trivialize the reason why other people want to live their own life the way they want to.
Odd. They tell us a new team was necessary, with a little detail but not enough to stop me wondering for more.

Then, despite the title, they don't actually introduce the team. Just some tiny images and only their first names.

I hate to belabor the obvious, but that means there are companies that disclose this information, and you can choose (or not) to reward them with your investment.
The most meaningful disagreement is summed up in this sentence:

"Emerging technologies can also create demand for things that are inherently expensive – cutting-edge medical procedures and treatments, for example – driving up costs in entire economic sectors."

It boils down to: should we subsidize cutting-edge medicine for everyone, or treat it as a luxury because people who can't afford it are no worse off than they were before its invention (in absolute terms)?

The pragmatic answer is probably somewhere in the middle.
While we're on the subject, here's my super nitpicky complaint abour mori: the use of snake_case when almost all JS is camelCase.

In the simple little project where I used mori, I did this:

const {
get,
conj,
js_to_clj: map,
clj_to_js: pretty
} = mori;

But I bet you lose a surprisingly large number of JS devs due to just having the "wrong" names. Maybe I should publish a camel-case-mori module on npm...
