Complaining about a moz site having google analytics is 100% bike shedding, everyone has an opinion because they have no idea how to fix or address the bigger issues, so lets complain about a website, we all know how to do that!

If we cannot pick our battles, then we will just lose because of the dissipation of all of our efforts across everything "that is still a problem".

When I weigh out the benefits vs the costs, I dont see why moz would pick any other option, everything else is more work, and google already tracks you across most of the internet.

I'm in the Calif. Foothills, I usually find most things on Craigslist,or the CA Jobs site.

Either you must not be near me, or it isn't the technologies I'm interested in, or I wans't what you were looking for.

I can offer that up in the hills you aren’t going to have a diverse skills environment. Either you will get some home-grown techs (like me), not very many of them, they usually move to SV or somewhere more tech friendly; or transplants from other places. So the more specific you are in what you want the less chance of finding talent. If you are willing to entertain other skillsets (if you are locked-in, maybe add in training option for highly skilled people in other platforms) you might have better luck.

Good luck

"The conservative way has proved to be a very stable path towards improvement. Slow, but stable. Stability and balance, are in my opinion, the most important characteristics of meaningful improvement."

Can you give some evidence supporting the idea that this has been proved?

My thinking is that technologies are improving at a non-linear pace, and technological change leads directly to social change. Given that, a conservative approach often leads to policies which are out of touch with reality (as political/social trends diverge).

Google analytics isn't giving anything to end users at all, plenty of paid sites use it too for instance.

I find it frankly shocking so many sites use it without any seeming consideration at all, its essentially completely selling out your users for a slick analyitics package.

Where exactly do they suppose such precise and accurate data comes from when they open the management pages.
It's also a stamp of relevance. Like the front page of HN vs new.
This does not mean it's good behavior. Nothing is surprising after you learn how it works.
Ela is a type safe, strictly typed language, which is, however, not burden by limitations of any particular type checker.

By nature, a language which is type safe and strictly typed must be burdened by the limitations of a "particular type checker." This is weak type safety at best. And it looks like there are runtime class checks, so you have all of the traditional drawbacks of dynamic languages.

American uni system is so incredibly obsolete.

95% of why a college degree is valuable is for the signal "hey I went to uni of X degree of prestige [and therefore am probably of Y degree of intelligence/ambition]".

Why do young Americans need to spend $100k just to signal their iq level to employers?

Why do young Americans need to compete with each other to do so?

Maybe to get into Harvard you need iq > 130. As the population grows, there are more kids with iq > 130, but # of Harvard seats does not increase.

There needs to be a low cost and widely accepted way to signal iq that does not create unnecessary competition and cost for people starting out.

Also with AI coming along the corporate obsession with iq will be obviated as well. Nobody gives a shit how well you did on the SAT when goddamn Skynet can diagnose 5000 medical conditions per second with quadruple human accuracy.

What makes you think of Pure, as opposed to Haskell as mentioned on the page and by howling (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9555980)? The influence of Haskell is clear, but it's not so obvious to me that this language uses term rewriting (as in Pure) in any fundamental way. Maybe I missed it?

The language proudly boasts on its home page that its `head` function has the same wart as Haskell's (i.e., not handling empty lists)? Combining this with an explicit use of the `Option` monad just seems like teasing.

(EDIT: Oops, I meant its "distinctive features" page http://elalang.net/About.aspx#features , under "Algebraic Types".)

(It's just my assumption that it doesn't handle empty lists, because it returns the literal first element of a non-empty one; but neither the Prelude http://elalang.net/docs/Article.aspx?p=lib\prelude.htm nor the list module http://elalang.net/docs/Article.aspx?p=lib\list.htm seems explicitly to mention the `head` function on lists (as opposed to strings or sequences) at all, so it's hard to say for sure.)
I agree the quick light cycles are a big help, also for pedestrians. You rarely wait more than 15-30 seconds on the other side for the light to change, so it's not really much of a delay. I do find the really long light cycles in many American cities annoying as a pedestrian.

Another reason few people in Copenhagen mind the "Copenhagen left" is that since cycle lanes are usually physically separated from the car lanes, it doesn't even occur to anyone that entering the car lanes to turn would be an option. You'd have to physically cross the barrier separating the bike and the car lanes (sometimes a row of parked cars, sometimes a curb, occasionally bollards), which would not be an obvious or convenient thing to do. That part of the arrangement also seems much safer to me. I don't like riding in a bike lane that is essentially just a repainted shoulder, lacking any means to physically exclude cars from the lane.
That can be somewhat private, but is probably a result of the template he used.

"Getting money for not doing anything"

and then

"The way to do it is probably paying only to the unemployed"

Foe some weird reason you seem to think "unemployed" are exempt from "people not doing anything".

Anyway, the problem here is not socialism (socialism actually had mandatory labour). It is that you subsidy unemployed. You will get more unemployed. People who are forced to do nothing.

With Basic Income people are encouraged to work at least part time.

Racism is intrinsically wrong because it is discrimination for discrimination's sake. Races don't exist, they're a fiction.

Ethiopians and Papuans are both "black", Japanese and Indian people are both "asian", Spaniards and Bosnians are both "white", and nobody can agree on what the hell "hispanic" means.

None of these people have anything in common, culturally, genetically, linguistically, you need a bogus concept like 'race' to do that.

> I really do not see anything useful in having attributes

That's because you chose examples that show attributes at their worst.

Suppose that instead of a document with a single author you instead had a document to which many people contributed, and you wanted to mark it up to show who wrote which section. Using attributes (and identifiers) you would have, e.g.

<author id=Bob>[info about Bob]</author>
<author id=Alice>[info about Alice]</author>
<span author=Bob>This part was written by Bob</span>
<span author=Alice>and this part was written by Alice</span>
<span author=Bob>and this part was written by Bob again.</span>

This example also highlights why it is sometimes NECESSARY to use identifiers in order to produce the semantically correct structure. Suppose you put all the author information in-line as you suggest. The result would look something like this:

<span><author><name>Bob</name>[info about Bob]</author>This part was written by Bob</span>
<span><author><name>Alice</name>[info about Alice]</author>This part was written by Alice</span>
<span><author><name>Bob</name>[info about Bob]</author>This part was written by Bob</span>

Were the first and third parts written by the same person, or by two different people whose names both happen to be Bob? If you put everything in-line there is no way to express that two pieces of structure are intended to be EQ to each other.

How about peer to peer judging? At the end everyone gives a score on different aspects on say 10 other projects, like in Ludum Dare.
The actual purpose of Harvard is to mix the children of the elite (regardless of their ability) with talented children of a broad cross section of the rest of society. One can observe this directly by searching "harvard" on wikileaks: http://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2015/04/20/deborah-friedell/how-to...

or by, say, observing the life of Barack Obama.

The stated mission of Harvard college is to "educate the citizens and citizen-leaders for our society"

In neither case is their any value is filling up the school with people with highest test scores. The primary use of the test scores is to select from the cream from a broad cross section of society, because the entirety of society is whom the graduates of are expected to lead (serve or exploit). A secondary use is to extort larger sums of money from the elite whose children score exceptionally low.

Working class whites complain that lower scoring african americans get jobs as police or firemen over higher scoring whites. They ignore that purpose of the tests is simply to weed out people who can't do the job.

Scholastic test scores serve a similar purpose. Harvard has an exceptionally high graduation rate. There is no reason to believe that Harvard is admitting students who can't benefit from what is offered. Even if it was, the children of tiger moms pursuing meaningless vanity metrics have no standing to complain about it.
There is a lot of good and even awesome things in ReactJS universe, except JSX. Thousands of developers took their lessons in PHP/Perl/Python about mixing logic and representation, and now in nightmares they will generate HTML from logic, especially by parts and in worst case - using conditional cases. Everybody who tried to change design of website, written using something like "if ($birthday) $html .= getBirthdayButton()", will understand me.

Maybe JS developers should go through it, through this circle of hell, to avoid it in future, so JSX is necessary evil.

//despite of that, I sincerely thankful for people behind React, for their new ideas and how they changed fields of JS frameworks and mobile apps. Big respect!
I encourage anyone who likes React and doesn't mind lisp to check out Reagent, an awesome Clojurescript library built atop React that manages to completely hide its complexity. It's by far the most fun I've ever had with web development; the way I feel now is like how I imagine people who've had religious epiphanies must feel when trying to show potential converts the proverbial light of god.

Also, there are a lot of programs to help out low income people. EX: Social security, lower income tax rates, unemployment insurance etc. Replacing them with a 5 k / year basic income would actually be cheaper.

Inflation does not have to be even across all categories of goods. It is entirely feasible that the cost of food and housing would rise, while the cost of luxury yachts would fall.

Wealth redistribution also does have the effect of increasing the money supply, without minting more money. The poor tend to spend 100% of what they take in, while the wealthy put a large portion of their money in the bank, where its not circulating in the economy.
From the TC article it seems to be largely the tech team that left so it's not too odd that that would be where the openings are.
Good point about a sample report. I just modified the code to show one. More data is collected than presented, these sections are published: http://closecalldatabase.com/incident/show/CO-141108-001/

When I review a report, I almost always zoom in on the map, then use the "streetview" feature to get a feel for the context (road width, presence of bike lanes, speed limits, line of sight visibility, general road conditions, etc). That helps me to get a better understanding of what the driver and the cyclist/s were experiencing when the incident occurred.

Regarding the contact info, unregistered users can access it from the login/register drop down: http://closecalldatabase.com/contact-u

Registered users can access it via their account drop down or from the FAQ: http://closecalldatabase.com/contact-r/

I might make the FAQ available to non-registered users . . . but in general, cyclists seem to "get it" or they don't. At this stage of development, I'm not really looking to "sell" the idea to fence-sitters, I want the core of the community built around experienced cyclists that have balanced perspective on what's happening out there on the roads.

Regarding social media, I have been reticent to engage for several reasons but now realize I probably have to . So I have started to include some of that information in the email notifications. And I am cleverly "hidden" at @eezis and @closecalldb and Kennett Peterson volunteers to keep a FaceBook page (and you might wish to follow his blog: https://kennettron.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/adelaide/).

>Lots of outdoorsy people move to places like Colorado, Montana, Wyoming for hiking, camping, etc.

This one is interesting. I spent 2 months in a ski town in western canada this winter. The classic story of ski towns is that many, many people would love to live there (often so much as to create a housing problem) but the only jobs are in restaurants, hotels, bars. I've heard of a trained mechanical engineer working 3 years as a town tour guide until she landed an actual engineering gig for the local hydro company. The microbrewery in town is owned by a trained nuclear physicist who really just wanted to live in the mountains and still make a living.

If you're in a nice place for nature, do try and market to the outdoorsy crowd, I think there's a good few engineers in there.

That's the end result schools like Harvard are trying to avoid.

Why? That is the worst kind of discrimination in my book. How is it my fault that I was born smart, worked hard to capitalize on my innate abities and then competed on a standardized test to perform better than folks who just happened to pop out of a different vagina or uterus? Nice way to fuck me for no fault of mine.

For those saying not getting into Harvard or MIT is no big deal, are either in the sour grapes camp or have never had to face opportunity costs arising from picking a non-exclusive-low-visibility-(but-great)-school.

I don't know what la-la-land they live in, but that Veritas stamp will open doors that no amount of effort, intelligence or other factors ever can.

Food is a buyer's market. If existing vendors try to increase prices, new ones will arise and push prices down. Unless US$ suffers inflation, food price likely stay the same.

Housing is more complicated. With basic income you're free to choose less expensive areas because you aren't required to find work. There might be some ups and downs but it will settle.
> Am I right in thinking that Mithril allows you to put the view together any way you want, as long as the end result is an object it can diff into the DOM?

That's correct. Virtual DOM nodes are plain JS objects with `tag`, `attr` and `children` attributes (the last two being optional).

The `m()` helper gives you some sugar on top of that.

Idiomatic Mithril view code, however, is more about declaratively generating vDOM nodes based on a model and/or a view model than, say, jQuery-style DOM manipulations...
Most advocates of BI don't not advocate replacing progressive income taxation with BI, they advocate funding BI with progressive income taxation. Some might advocate replacing some tax credits or deductions with BI (e.g., EITC), but most advocates of BI would still have lower-income folk paying lower tax rates.
