How is it unfair to tenants? Tenants sign a lease for a period of time with a fixed price. The lease's fixed price protects both parties. When that lease is up, the landlord and tenant should be free to negotiate a new price.

If tenants want stable prices over a longer period of time, then they should negotiate a multi-year contract with the landlord. All of the protections you're discussing are already built into the concept of a lease.

If either the tenant or landlord is not willing to agree to a longer contract, then that should be their right. (Why should anyone be forced to lock in the rental price of their property for years, even while the circumstances of the city are changing -- e.g., receiving investment or decaying; people moving into the area or out of it.) If one party wants a longer contract and the other does not, then the party who desires the longer contract should offer something in exchange for lowering the other party's flexibility. It all plays into the price of the contract.

I personally prefer to rent month-to-month because I value my ability to pick up and leave any time more than I worry about the uncertainty of being randomly evicted. Someone who wants a five year lease should negotiate differently and get a different price than I do (whether higher or lower depends on the circumstances).
I think it is fantastic. Companies lately are moving toward profits over customer loyalty, which seems counter-intuitive. Keurig et al need to learn a lesson from this and stop the silly non-sense. They have already cornered the at-home brewing market (or close to it I would assume) and personally have never seen a non-Keurig branded K-cup that they are so worried about. There is no need to get greedy.

Calling it an "anomaly" strongly implies that there was some sort of unexpected natural phenomena to blame

No it doesn't. You should really look up the definition of the word, because you'll find it's being used correctly.
I have been looking for this for years. It used to be from Boeringer Mannheim, you could jsut write a letter and they would send a copy for free (I was a biochem major and kept a copy on my wall). After a year of biochem, I could recognize most the elements and had memorized a significant fraction of the chart. This chart represent a collection of monumental knowledge and achievement in biochemistry over the past 100 years.
I would trust lots of professionals will my bitcoins more than I'd trust myself, especially if they had the right insurance policies in place.

The problem is that Coinbase only insured themselves against damage from coins-in-transition being accidentally lost or being stolen. That doesn't actually cover most of the cases that I'm worried about, because while a 3% loss would be annoying, it's nothing compared to the other failure modes and should be a loss that's sustainable by Coinbase independent of this insurance policy.

The problem isn't fundamentally exchanges holding the coins, but rather, exchanges holding coins so irresponsibly currently.
Experience in one context won't shift well and senior folks will seem junior, if not worse, for inserting non-idiomatic patterns into the newer solutions.

> But it's still a risk if you build your application the "Angular Way",

That's not true.AngularJS allows a total an clean separation between AngularJS and your code through dependency injection.

It means that your code can be totally decoupled from the framework (even the directives).

That's not the case for Backbone,Emberjs and others.Their first sin is the use of Active Record,which means vendor lockin,and over reliance on inheritance (Backbone.Model.extend ... )

A few month ago I had to make some business logic work in a webworker,without duplicating it ,nor using angulars,in an angularjs project. Because AngularJS uses an IoC container,it just worked,the only thing I had to do is to manually wire up dependencies,but the same code worked without a single line of Angular code.

That's the most important difference between AngularJS and the rest,easy opt-out. And I really hope the javascript world begins to embrace inversion of control ,because frankly,i'm sick of all these spaghetti code apps, I have to maintain. Only AngularJS gives you the tools to write clean and decoupled code without verbosity.

Backbone and Ember suffer from the same "rail's way" problem.AngularJS is a good compromise between configuration and conventions without Active Record .

People often say Backbone is "lightweight" ,actually I think AngularJS is lightweight compared to Backbone,and that's why it is so successfull, with one lib, one gets everything one needs to build small apps as well as large apps,without all the boilerplate.
That's nonsense on the face of it. Negative results can be minted at 100's per minute, by trying things that are very unlikely to work. Clearly their value depends upon the selectivity of the investigator; clearly that varies.
I work with a lot of programmers and the ones that bang out a ton of small projects are the ones I see earning the most money (or the ones that I give the most money to)

PHP/Python programmers with a sound understanding of JS/HTML/CSS and a familiarity with basic networking protocols that also have their wits about them in terms of basic UX/UI is the magic recipe that I am constantly looking for.
In my opinion, the "fairness" would depend on the terms of the rental contract.
Yet another bonus of canvas, something vaguely akin to:

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvasElement");

var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");

document.write('<img src="' + img + '">');
If no one wants to enter into a contract with that type of person, it sounds like the problem solves itself.
Every lease I've ever seen is on a take it or leave it basis.
Following the links in their Github repos I found their docs, http://docs.review.ninja/#quickstart which links to their Github auth page (http://review.ninja/auth/github). So far I've enabled it for a throwaway repo and haven't seen what it does yet. I'll keep exploring though.
By law the maximum is 40 hours per week (8 hours a day). The length of the workday is determined by a "generally binding" collective labor agreement[1]. It depends on the sector you're working in, but is often 37.50 hours per week. In the IT industry it's almost everywhere 37.50 hour per week. Some sectors have a 40 hour work weeks, but have extra days off here and there to bring the average down to 37.50 hours.

"Node.JS", "isomorphic single page applications", "npm", "bower", "Grunt", "Broccoli", "Gulp", "Backbone", "React", "Ember", "Polymer", "Angular", "Mocha", "Casper", "Karma", "evergreen web browsers", ad infinitum.

While the above bouquet of random monikers may excite the cutting-edge startup developer, try pitching such an amalgamation to management in an enterprise environment.

Inevitably, this week's fashionable web technologies will be supplanted by next week's fads. YUI was nice because it channeled the Borg in absorbing the good from multiple technologies while attempting to provide users with some form of a migration path, usually through its better-than-average documentation. YUI evolved. Many of the above technologies will be cut-and-run like the projects they supplanted last week.

Perhaps the answer to this industry's flightiness will be found in the increasing use of transpilers. Javascript, with its callback-heavy code reading like so much thread through so many needle-eyes, does not seem to engender longevity in its creations. A framework built around something like gopherjs may be more libel to grow and adapt rather than becoming yet another abandonware.
reasonable price points? I dunno about that, have you actually gone through the process?

after the second or third page it is nickel and diming or 'death by a thousand cuts' pricing strategy.

I'd much prefer an upfront fee, like $50 or $100 or whatever
The tool is still in development. Marketing page and demo will be available next week... hint: not your typical SAP tool
Sounds interesting. I would use it everyday at work.
Do you have any recommendations for good IoC containers for JavaScript, specifically node.js? I've looked at several and their are their far too complicated or not polished.

definitely this - I've done this a ton on Drupal/Wordpress also the "confirm I am not a spammer" checkbox does seem to cut down on submissions considerably.

IMO, a losing battle no matter what. A certain amount of spam is always going to get through. The real challenge is to do this without compromising your UX.
I should also mention that the wood frog is really more a counterexample of vitrification. It forms ice (which they are adapted to tolerate, unlike us), but the interior or the cells remains a slightly more concentrated liquid. It is nowhere near the concentrations used in cryonics, which are high enough to prevent freezing entirely (50-80%). A wood frog cannot survive any temperature below around -5 C.
> Your hypothesis about rental markets diminishing in areas without rent control

You should re-read what he wrote. That's not his hypothesis.
> As a landlord (in a different city where things are sensible and I can raise my rent or evict my tenant any time I darn well like because it's my fricking property) this kind of thing makes me really angry.

It would be interesting to see how quickly your attitude would change if you weren't wealthy and were living under a landlord such as yourself.

Any day, for any reason or no reason, your entire life can be turned upside down. You can be effectively made homeless and given a very limited amount of time to find a similar alternative place to live that may or may not exist and may or may no be close to your work (which matters when you're poor and cannot afford public transport).

The power imbalance in this type of situation is just horrifying. Even if the tenant pays their rent on-time the landlord could still easily utilise the eviction threat in order to control the tenant (e.g. "your apartment is untidy, clean it or I'll evict you." "You went to a protest last week that I disagree with, goodbye!" "Give me your postal vote or I'll evict you.").

It might be your "property" but it is someone elses HOME. Their basic rights trump your property rights.

That's why regulation has to exist to stop people like you, so people (particularly poor people with fewer choices), get basic rights and the power imbalance is corrected.

I'm not referring to rent control: I am talking about privacy of the tenant (inspection notification periods, etc), notice for evictions (e.g. 30 days), written understanding of both the tenant and landlord's responsibilities (or default ones under the law if they lack), and so on.

It is your property, but when you rented it to someone to be their HOME part of that transaction is taking money but in exchange knowingly enabling someone else's basic rights. Those basic rights don't start and end at a rental cheque.
It doesn't have to be natural for it to be an anomaly; but anomaly does indeed specifically means that it's not normal or expected. If there is a failure in the design, then it would be 'normal' (and 'normal' would be wrong) without an adjustment.
honestly at this point, i think most people are using jquery with either jqueryui or bootstrap. Still its really sad to see such an established framework become EOL. Thank you Yahoo for all the work you've done on YUI.
For the record, one thing I like about Angular... I think the library tries to support existing/future technologies rather than define its own way of doing things. For example, the devs are planning that components can be 'exported' to WebComponents in Angular 2.0[1].

That's why you sign a lease. You can't raise rent for the duration of the lease. Your landlord should give you notice that the rent will be going up, thus giving you ample time to find a new place. If a tenant wants more stability, then they should consider buying a place.

Also, as a counterpoint, Seattle has no rent control, and the fastest growing population of any large American city yet is able to provide good housing options to people of all incomes. This of course may be due to more liberal zoning laws allowing new housing to be built.

why in the world would this be a monthly plan fee? does a lawyer charge you a monthly fee for drafting a contract? or a mortgage?

the terms don't change and I can't think of any good reason to pay monthly, except of course that iubenda makes more money that way!

> it would need something far superior with a lot of traction to displace it.

Personally, I have found react.js to be much better than Angular but in any case I found your comment to be filled with a heavy use of unwarranted intensifiers ("far superior") and some amount of fortune telling.

Front-end development is a fast moving field, and the new ECMAScript 6 changes, as well as further browser updates, will probably shake up the scene, but it's hard to predict what will happen. I doubt that we'll reach a point of stability any time soon where you didn't have to throw out at least some decent amount of code after 5 or 6 years due to library changes and browser updates.
>There is this belief propagated among physicists that smaller scales somehow have more to do with reality

Only among high-energy physicists. Perhaps not coincidentally there's also a belief among high-energy physicists that only they count as physicists.

In reality, they're a small minority of physicists. The largest specialty in physics, accounting for about half of all research, is condensed matter physics. Then in no particular order you've got AMO (atomic/molecular/optical), astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, and a bunch of other stuff sitting between or outside those categories. With the exception of just a few corners of astrophysics, none of these fields needs, or can make sure of, the stuff being done on fundamental interactions; regular old quantum mechanics plus relativity is good enough for describing everything we can actually measure.
If there were an infinite supply of housing, and tenants could choose landlords, I'd agree with you. In the city I live in, it's common practice for tenants to work entirely through agents, and a severe housing shortage means that landlords can get away with pretty much anything. We were not even told who our landlord would be prior to signing the agreement.

What kind of mouse configurations do you have set?
FUD. Backbone is nothing but a bootstrap. It really just means that you evetually rely on literally twenty or thirty other "micro" JS libraries to get the same shit done that one framework could singlehandedly provide. Those micro libraries have a higher abandonment rate than anything.

Personally I'd go for company-backed projects.
Will WhatsApp Merge into Facebook Messenger?
You're living in a pipedream if you think you can easily port an AngularJS app to another heavy framework like Ember or React.
All things hitherto designed have been designed without a complete and truthful understanding of the universe. If we go back in history, we find examples of useful inventions that were produced amid a rather poor understanding. Levers and inclined planes were produced without knowing anything about basic arithmetic, let alone physics.
Anomaly means an event (failure, in this case) that should be expected only once given a relatively large number of repetitions. To brand it an anomaly does indeed act to dispel notions of poor design because the suggested assumption that goes into it is that if they repeated the launch everything would be hunky dory, which would not be the case if there is a design flaw.

> But it's still a risk if you build your application the "Angular Way", "The React Way" or "The Ember Way"

This misses the point. A good developer, in my mind, has the ability to adapt regardless of they framework they choose. The only risk is really the one who chooses not to adapt, regardless of the way their CV is positioned at any one point in time.

That being said, COBOL developers still get paid $100's of dollars per hour in today's environment due to legacy software holders.

> I don't quite understand why someone would be unhappy to have to learn a new JavaScript framework.

Because you need to learn that framework.

And the new packaging system.

And the new *SQL database.

And SASS, LESS...

And the new test framework

And another build tool.

And a new programming language.

And understand the business logic of the new client.

And sleep 8 hours, exercise, see your friends, spend time with your gf...

Modern web development could be overwhelming, I'm still young and willing to learn but I totally can understand why some people stick with "old" technologies.
Hey everyone, if you want to check out the tool please take a look at our staging server

Our production server is incredibly out of date and mainly there for the purpose of our mailing list :)
One of the creators here. Just to make this clear, this tool has not yet been released, however, we are getting close. Before you criticize the UI/UX, please try it yourself. We will be offering a public hosted instance and enterprises can host it themselves for their own GitHub enterprise. Our page http://review.ninja/ is outdated right now and only used for mailing list purposes, please refer to http://review-ninja-staging.cfapps.io/ for our staging environment.

Awesome! I was thinking of curating popular HN posts in a similar way, but with a little less frequency (higher threshold before it gets pushed to a feed or whatever). Very cool.
why we still test effectiveness on animals when there are several thousands of people who has no downside and only upside for the drug to be tested on them? Ethics? It would be a strange ethics that had worked only until an American needed the cure. Something isn't right that this drug got out of shadow only when there was a need to cure an American. I mean, of course, thanks God, that i have real chance of soon becoming an American too :)
As a developer that still uses YUI on multiple production applications, I've never felt that my front-end skills were stagnating due to its usage. The same goes for ExtJs, which I have used heavily in the past. Both libraries allow you to create the models, views, controllers, templates, etc. And they both have notions of apps and routes. There might be a lot less magic going on in terms of getting data binding to work, but it's something javascript devs should understand anyways (loose coupling using custom events). I think the detriment comes more from newer companies looking to hire front end folks who have experience with modern frameworks such as angular, ember, and react. But there's also a lot of magic going on in those newer frameworks and libraries so when something breaks or you need to step out of the box, a deeper understanding of what's going on is usually good.

At the same time, a lot less is being abandoned--and your team is more likely going to be able to fight bitrot on a small microframework than on a huge thing like Angular.
The problem I have with the "just go with a real TimeCapsule" solution is that it doesn't scale. I've got a 3TB iMac, and a couple Apple laptops. The largest TimeCapsule available is 3TB. They don't provide a way to increase your storage without buying multiple TimeCapsules, and the economics of that are already way out of whack with what storage costs are these days.
The answer as to when can we exclude certain groups from the discussion is never. If Sheldrake or whoever makes a valid point then it is what it is.
Thats how slumlords come to exist... landlords that nobody wants to do business with, but some people (usually poorer people) are forced to by necessity. Basic housing isn't a luxury good - when you need a place to live, you need a place to live, and you're limited in your ability to wait until a unit with a better landlord comes available.
> Now, you are claiming you rewrote the code internally.

It's a little ambiguous, but by "start from scratch with a new developer", I interpreted that to mean they dumped the first contractor and hired a new contractor, not that they rewrote it internally.

> Paranoia

I really don't think it's misplaced paranoia. Assume, hypothetically, that the Ukraine becomes a NATO member (they applied I heard) and that an attack on one triggers an attack on all and that it triggers world war three (I said hypothetical, right?), then I don't think America is going to let the Russians use GPS anymore.

And if it so happened that Europe decided that the Iraq and other middle east wars were kind of pointless and that Iran has not been developing nukes like America said they were over and over, and it ends up in war, I really doubt that we (Europeans) will get to share either the American's system.

World wars are maybe not that likely, I'm no expert, but in the case of some big war anywhere, I think the Americans would not hesitate to disable the public signal (there is already an encrypted GPS signal which is much more accurate) for a month or two and win the war because nobody can orient themselves anymore. Having a couple of system kind of makes sense.
Thanks :) Will track this tool! The UI already looks awesome though ;)
E. T. Jaynes' book "Probability Theory" is a tour de force and freely available[1]. The preface and first chapter answers your first question; it exceeds anything you'll probably read here, certainly from me.

Just imagine if jQuery stopped development. Obviously someone would pick it up but if they didn't there would be a massive number of frontend skill sets becoming out of date.
Good advice, I know. It just feels doubly hard for me to get coding work now, because my day-job is in writing and not very technical. I suppose I envisioned it being paid eventually, when I got to the point where I was productive, but you're right: I have to value my work first before other people will, right?

Your rambling incoherence makes your point hard to understand. So you're saying that there's no risk of vendor lock-in by relying on Angular's dependency injection, which isn't used by other libraries? Gotcha.

Edit: Oh and it isn't polite to write things like "That's bullshit", then come back and edit it out later on without flagging that you've edited your code.
