iOS + Android is at least as big of a deal as Windows was back in the IE vs Netscape days. The bar for antitrust isn't "you literally cannot live without the thing". Even if you make a case that for Epic it doesn't matte

Redux was reasonably clear and opinionated early on. People on whom it was forced on, and who disagreed with those opinions, were VERY vocal, and pushed most of the other crap, which fragmented the community and muddied the message. From my

The rent's the easy part. It's what happens to the apartment, neighbor complains, etc that matters (and race doesn't really matter for this, everyone's capable to be assholes in their own way). Plus picking tenants based

the problem with real estate is that it's work. Even if you hire a management company (which does hit your profit), shit like bad tenants can really screw you up, if only in term of time spent on paperwork and legal garbage. In the bes

Because antitrust laws are a thing. If you make a new phone OS tomorrow and lock it down to a single store with a 99.99% cut, no one cares and it's not illegal. You don't have oligopoly. When Apple or Google get a little too stric

Anecdotally, it's at least partially the food. I was a little overweight when I moved to the US, and now I'm full blown fat. My lifestyle (aside for food), didn't change. The main difference is availability and price, especia

I think washlets is just Toto's name for it, and they happen to be the "big high end brand" for them. It's a bidet seat for everyone else you ask :)

The most important piece of the puzzle already happened: people know bidets are now. If you ever did a bathroom renovation and went to a decently large plumbing supply store, they had a full bidet section for a while now. This time, more pe

Some states have GDPR-like laws that will absolutely allow you to request a copy of your assessment. That can be a good way to know exactly what went short (most companies don't expect this and will get VERY coy about what they wrote,

I remember dealing with JS early on the same way I deal with bash today. With all the weird apis no one understood at the time, limited internet resources (and even books at first), it was just a crazy quest to hunt someone who knew what to

The biggest bottleneck in the JS ecosystem is the minified, and that is already kind of decoupled from the other tools. Webpack plays with Terser pretty closely, but it's not particularly hard to do the minification as a separate step,

No, if you can have 1000 services maintained by 5 eng, you're doing fine. The problem organizations hit is such: you have 2-3 huge services maintained by 5 engineers. The company grows, the services grow. 5 eng become 10 eng become 100

You can use private to do it OO/Java style, but you don't need typescript for that: ES6 modules let you encapsulate stuff just fine without any type features.

It is cheap, but if you have an electric outlet near by (or can invest in a minor renovation), the high end ones are worth every pennies. Auto cleaning, misting the edge of the bowl to avoid stuff sticking, warming the seat and water, adjus
