Slavery was de-centralised evil on a massive scale. The genocide of the Native Americans was largely decentralised, as part of the "cost" of land acquisition. Global warming has de-centralised causes. Relying on people (governmen

There are pros/cons to dirty checking vs. getters/setters, dirty checking seems to be more popular because it saves you a few lines of code, although I prefer getters/setters as it's much more efficient and cleaner.

React is more similar to jQuery than Knockout, but it abstracts away DOM manipulation. I'd say it's better than jQuery, but not as good as web components.

Not everyone has to address Congress. As long as each valid viewpoint has at least one advocate, I trust people could figure out the best option. Less bargaining means fewer riders and pork, which is a good thing. I'm fine if only the

The Federal government makes decisions for the entire nation. State-specific issues should not make their way into Congress. State issues are likewise at the state level. There is no reason to make sure two counties are represented, since t

Gerrymandering gets attention because it is malicious misrepresentation, but unintentional misrepresentation is just as bad. Voting is a flawed system that will always give some voters more voice than others. - The people who voted for the

I don't think you can argue that self-driving cars killed PRT, when we are still building brand new subways and light rail. I think anything new/innovative loses in the sound byte war. I remember ~2 years ago, the election for may

I'd like to know more about the winches, since they aren't made for constant use. They have planetary gears with very high gear ratios, which can overheat if used too long. I believe many linear actuators (with high gear ratios, u

What about the benefits to teachers? Taking a test on a computer won't make you perform any better, but it frees up a lot of the teacher's time grading, which is often spend "after hours".

This formula does not take into consideration game theory. How fast you grow also depends on how fast your competitors are growing. Being #1 in an industry, ends up being a massive difference from being #2.

Dependency hell is from when multiple components depend on the same framework, but work with different versions. Since React is pre 1.0, you can expect the API to change a bit. If you build an app with multiple React components, you'd
