Funny, I reach the exact opposite conclusion: people were willing to pay a specific price for Apple dependent on the expectations of future earnings. Those earnings didn't meet expectations, therefore the market adjusted the price. Working as intended.

Goldman does have an office in Jersey City, they put "backoffice" functions there and have a water taxi between the two. Anyhow, context is key.

In NY I want to be in the urban core. People want the best of wherever they are.

No huge issues with running tests that depend on webpack, but the developer UX is not outstanding.

If you want to be able to do everything, you'll have to configure more stuff. Honestly, I don't think it's worth the extra effort to try and configure things to work with every possible workflow. Just setup what you need, and then add stuff in as you find yourself wanting / needing it.

My advice is to avoid jest. It's too slow and clunky. If you want to stub modules, there's rewire-webpack. If you're using babel and ES6 modules you'll probably want to check out babel-plugin-rewire. I think there's a few other alternatives, but I haven't had the need for any of these so far.

On to your questions...

> Can you test individual modules that use arbitrary loaders specified in your Webpack config?

Yes. The solution I have is to maintain a single webpack config maker function that has a bunch of conditionals inside, and then I just use that function from all my configs. When you set options.TEST to true, it'll set the entry point to an empty object.

That means that my tests will be configured as close as possible to my production and development. The same loader config will be used for all the environments.

> Can you run tests from the command line?

Sure. In the web-app repo, it uses karma with phantomjs.

If you want to test your code using node... It's a bit more annoying, but also doable. I've previously set it up like this: create a test.js [0] file, set it as the entry-point in the webpack config, and use webpack context to include all the tests you wanna run, and finally point mocha to the output file. If you wanna use it in "live" mode, you can run webpack and mocha both with the watch flag.

If you just wanna run a single test... You can specify a single test as your entry-point, and then point mocha to it. Again, if you want "live" mode, you can set the watch flag on both mocha and webpack.

> Can you write your tests in ES6/7 (or anything else supported by Webpack's loaders)?

Yes. They use the same loaders as the rest of your codebase.

"The terms in the series quickly become unruly, however; energy, instead of diminishing at shorter and shorter distances in the gas, seems to amplify."

This sounds a whole lot like the ultraviolet catastrophe. The solution there was quantization of energy packets and a statistical treatment of the fewer amount of packets that come through.
At my startup (35 devs on the main product), we'd spin off a dozen AWS instances so the tests would run in 20 minutes in parallel. And only tested commits could be merged into master. We didn't feel it as a bad situation.
What I'd like to see are benchmarks that involve visiting some sample of sites out of the Alexa top 100 and performing standard tasks (reading Gmail, finding a certain thing on Amazon.com, etc.) I know that's dependent on things like network conditions, so you'd have to run it a lot of times to get meaningful results, but it'd still provide a more meaningful result than a lot of synthetic benchmarks.

>old factory and turn it into trendy office space with exposed brick and vintage architectural details

That's not why we renovate factories. We renovate them because they are in a location we desire (big city centers). The suburbs are a cultural and transportation wasteland for the most part and have nothing but cheap land. Its just unpleasant real estate. Sadly, a lot of smaller companies migrated out to the suburbs because the CEO could simply make a call to move the business closer to his house. This land just makes more sense as residential, or at best retail, and really should have never been turned into offices in the first place.
Keep in mind that this article was not written by the founders of Verge Genomics, but by a journalist who "writes about internet culture, social networks, and consumer-facing technology." So they are probably going to use speech that will make the more science/biotech literate person bristle.
Your article employs the same sort of breathless rhetoric as TechCrunch:

> A smart software developer can build and launch a web or mobile app and get paying customers for under $2,000. The same will soon be true for biotechnology.

Moore's law is a unique phenomenon, and it most certainly does not apply in biotech.
"I didn't have a choice but to fire a gun in the middle of a crowd of people. It was just a wake up call!. You always have a choice. One of those choices is to do the demo, but with the proper safety authorities helping. One of those choices is to perform the demo in a place where it is safe to pull your car over. One of those choices is to do the demo somewhere where the speeds are a little lower.

All of those things you listed are actual emergency situations that are hard to control. This is one thing where they were in full control of, and still decided to do it anyway. They had a choice, and they chose to endanger the public.
Instead of a history of evolving swear words (which implies a changing society), it's much more interesting to me that there's possibly a neurological or cognitive basis for swear words (which implies a stable source that's built into our DNA.)

When I was a kid and filtered the world as facts in black & white, it was baffling why certain words were "bad". Why is c_nt so bad? That doesn't make sense -- It's just a word! If you were to let a foreigner who didn't understand English listen to 100 random words with c_nt being one of them, he/she would not be able to identify which word was the nasty one. Listening to the phoneme is not enough. With that mindset, I laughed along with the George Carlin "7 Dirty Words" routine[1].

Later in life, I ran across across a thread discussing profanity and I saw an interesting sentence that finally made it click. Basically it said, "if c_nt wasn't the taboo word, it would be another word that was equally taboo."

In other words, we seem to always create this "space" in language reserved for taboo. It's not related to specific phonemes. If one says that humans have built in brain wiring for "grammar" (Chomsky[2]) to understand nouns, verbs, and recursive clauses... one might extend that to say we also have innate brain wiring to always create taboo swear words. It is unavoidable.

For example, the creator of Esperanto didn't put any cuss words in his language because he thought it was unnecessary. (It was a language designed to foster harmony so that's understandable.) Nevertheless, Esperanto evolved to eventually have swear words.

I notice that manufactured languages such as Klingon also has swear words/phrases. However, I'm not a trekkie so I don't know if they elicit any negative emotions or they are there simply as an exercise in "universe building".

Apple Now Has $203B in Cash on Hand
>Young talented people are already tackling really hard and high risk problems. If this is truly what young scientists want to do, they will find a way. 10 years of guaranteed salary is not the solution, but giving everyone the opportunity to be a scientist may be.

I love your idealism, but having climbed the greasy pole to academic tenure (I have since left science) I can say that you really can’t afford to work on the high risk projects. When you are a junior scientist the more senior scientists control what you can work on and they want you generating publications. When you are a post doc you can’t afford to not get publications out and hence you have to work in areas which will produce results within 2 years. Once you are a senior scientist you are forced to work on projects that will generate x number of papers within the 3 year grant period or else you wont get any further funding. At every stage of your career you are effectively forced to work on projects that are guaranteed to generate publishable results within the next 2 years.

The reason I suggested that the scientists awarded one of these 10 year fellowships are not allowed to publish in anything but the top journals is to remove the pressure of publishing off the fellows and allow them to concentrate on solving the difficult problems. The only reason I suggested an exception for the top tier journals is in rare case the fellow made a lucky breakthrough - we don’t want them sitting on some important result for years just because they not allowed to publish.

I have many high risk/high reward projects that I would have loved to have worked on when I was a professional scientist, but I could not afford to do so. I knew if I failed to produce consistent publishable results I would be out of a job. Even once I had tenure I could not in all honesty ask my students or post docs to work on projects with a significant risk of failure. We have created a system where we have a high probability of making incremental progress, but almost no chance of big breakthroughs.

The answer as usual is "it depends". At the very least it depends on the consequences of missing a deadline and how painful "undo" is if you screw it up. A software update is much easier than a hardware recall. Formal processes are necessary when undo becomes painful enough.
If you don't want to interact with the police, you shouldn't do illegal things, or present your actions as possibly illegal.

If you distrust the police to the degree that you think even if your actions weren't illegal you will still have negative consequences from interacting with them, definitely don't do the above.

When someone's actions extend to endangering the public to the degree we see here (which I think is obvious once you've watched the video), they are past any good will I would have extended them in not contacting the police for fear of an overreaction. Their clear disregard for public safety is reason enough for me.

Additionally, on the chance that it was entirely intentional and they are counting on the media and possibly even law enforcement response to help make this an issue, they they definitely don't need our restraint, and nor do they want it.
Maybe just the desire to extend the lives of those we love.
I don't know if I'd call the theory "flawed". Navier-Stokes is a very successful set of equations that is capable of solving real problems as it sets the foundation for modern day computational fluid dynamics. Any subsequent theories must converge to Navier-Stokes at the regimes where Navier-Stokes is highly successful.

I've also been fairly impressed with Edge on a low-spec machine. Realistically, once there is extension support and I can get an ad-blocker (ideally uBlock, and since it's rumored to be easy to port Chrome extensions I'm hopeful) I would have no issues using Edge as my daily browser.

You are making assumptions about the SAI's goals. We cannot blindly assume that a SAI will pursue a given line of existential thought. If the SAI is "like us, but much smarter," then I agree that the threat is reduced. We may even see a seed AI rapidly achieve superintelligence, only to destroy itself moments later upon exhausting all lines of existential thought. (Wouldn't that be terrifying? :P)

The biggest danger comes from self-improving AIs that achieve superintelligence, but direct it towards goals that are not aligned with our own. It's basically a real life "corrupted wish game:" many seemingly-straightforward goals we could give an AI (e.g. "maximize human happiness") could backfire in unexpected ways (e.g. the AI converts the solar system into computronium in order to simulate trillions of human brains and constantly stimulate their dopamine receptors).

Hm.

Is it so hard to imagine someone could have a different opinion than you?

All of your examples are factual claims which I don't dispute. (well, assuming "instant results" is branding for "submits the query every time you hit a key, modulo some debouncing" -- not actually instant in practice). I disagree with their value, though. I noticed both of those changes, because stuff stopped working for me. The only change I've seen from Instant Results(tm) is that now sometimes when I'm scrolling through the search results, they'll all disappear and I need to type some more letters in the search box then remove them. Luckily you can avoid that by using the browser's search box instead of the website. On YouTube I had an issue for a while where leaving fullscreen after changing video would cause the page to reload, interrupting playback for 2-3 seconds. I believe that's mostly fixed now, bringing the functionality back up to par with the original implementation.

Maybe I'm just a hipster, but I like my computer to do what I tell it, not what some random web designer overly enamoured of his own "blog application" tells it. Most of the time, I want a document, not a portal or an experience. In that sense, I don't think anyone wants to go back to the web we had, so much as sideways to a better future.

EDIT: Forgot Facebook. Don't use it. Can't say. But the users sure seem pleased with the constant evolution of the UI.

It's an example of a time when I'm fooling myself into believing that some stupid little thing has an effect on my code. It probably won't break if I remove it, but this is how those situations go down:

1. Something is broken

2. Try to fix it. Still broken.

3. Try to fix it. Still broken.

4. Sleep on it. Try to fix it in the morning. Still broken.

5. Refactor. Still broken.

6. Make a whole bunch of changes, including adding x = x.

7. It works! x=x must have fixed it! Stupid programming language.

8. Add x=x to all future code because it works because Python sucks and is stupid.

9. (optional) Go on Stack Exchange and HN and tell everyone that you need to say x=1.5 and follow it with x=x because Python is stupid and I am so smart to have figured this out.
I'm not going to comment on the question of whether or not the highway patrol should have been called or not - just say I understand where poster tombrossman was coming from.

However, I fully agree this was a ridiculous stunt. They could have gotten the same results by demonstrating (on the highway, if they insisted) the air conditioner going full blast, the radio, and the picture of the hackers on the screen. Anything else (cutting transmission, obscuring visibility) should have been saved for a safer environment. The point still would have been made.

And it's got nothing to do with the vehicle and driver itself (though I wonder how the hackers knew the exact driving situation - was it plastered with cameras?) - what if two unrelated vehicles got in an accident for some reason and the test driver had to get out of the way, but couldn't?

And to make it worse, the cranked radio made it hard for the tester to communicate with the hackers. Very dangerous stunt.

Also, and I know it was unrelated to this particular hack, but if the UConnect recognizes voice commands (I assume so), and sends it back for processing, then might it not also be able to bug (eavesdrop) on the car's interior?

Many disturbing revelations came out of this, and I applaud them for making it known, but I criticize them harshly for the cavalier way they endangered public safety.
It's Single Page Application used mostly from customer's intranet - currently around 1.6MB uncompressed (js version) - only initial page load is painful and takes around 2.3 sec from internet (on my decent DSL).
