You can do just about everything a native app can do with RN. If you have a very small, capable team that's all on the same page, it's a good choice. For large existing codebases in large organizations, it's a very poor cho

Having worked on a large native codebase with RN features integrated for a couple of years now, there are a lot of downsides for our particular use case. I am aware that some of these are organizational rather than strictly technical issues

The Amtrak Cascades line is actually state owned and operated: http://www.amtrakcascades.com/about One example, at least!

I'd long ago deleted my Facebook account, but the #deletefacebook push did strengthen my resolve enough to finally move my Gmail over to Fastmail. No regrets.

Like dkersten, I moved to Fastmail. I used to DIY it but got tired of maintenance.

I recently decided to ditch Gmail because I don't trust Google any more than Facebook. One nice side effect of this is that now that I'm using my own domain, all company signups can be to me@spam.domain.com, which is much harder t

Could you explain how this would work in practice? If I'm allocating a percentage of my salary to, for example, Vanguard's total stock market index, how would that get siphoned?

Conversely, I am happy to have existed during the tiny slice of history between the internet being invented and governments and corporations figuring out how useful it is and controlling it for their own purposes.

It is very interesting to me that going to prison is a better face-saving technique than accepting help.

It's slow. It kills your battery. It disregards standard platform idioms.

There are alternatives to a five star rating system. The old Couchsurfing site did this nicely with open ended feedback and a vouching system.

I don't know where you live, but in my town it's very common to bring children to have a beer. The local brewery even has complimentary diapers in the mens bathroom. I count myself lucky to have that as an option, but even if I

I was under the impression the intrinsic value of fiat currencies is the ability to pay taxes with them and thereby avoid negative attention from the folks with a monopoly on the use of force. Is my understanding incorrect?

True- though it does not have to be binary. Our current levels of meat consumption are unsustainable and the levels of production required make treating the animals well a laughable proposition. I've tried to greatly reduce my meat con

I am hoping to time my exit from the field to coincide with this clusterfuck singularity.

Yeah, I was getting the "Service battery" message. Didn't matter if plugged in (always was because it would die within half an hour), still slow.

It's out of warranty so I just swapped it myself. There are kits on Amazon for $70 that include the special screwdrivers. Super easy.

Yeah. Not just iPhones either. After reading the original article, I replaced the battery in my 2012 MBA. Runs like a new machine.

Access to information like you describe would be very useful in a free market, but the ISP market is not. If I get a report from my ISP outlining how they throttled me, how am I supposed to act on that information?

It's more of an issue now just because our usage of the internet has become increasingly fundamental to day-to-day life. It was, of course, already on this trajectory pre-2015, but corporate and government understanding of the internet

Republican legislators are pretty uniformly against net neutrality. The Republican public is not, with one recent poll showing 3 out of 4 Republicans familiar with the issue voicing opposition to the rollback of regulations. [1] [1] https:

Stupid question: why couldn't he just turn his phone off? If all signals are blocked, what's the difference on the other end?

What happens when you take away the phones as a consequence (other than surly behavior)?

Commercial use is almost certainly prohibited in your rental car contract. Also, Uber requires a vehicle inspection before driving.

Negative externalities are rarely fully accounted for with this model. If you ignore the non monetary impacts, specialization wins every time.

To each his own. To me, the utter dependence on automobiles, the blatantly wasteful lifestyle and the oppression of HOAs feels claustrophobic, dissonant and excessive. I feel depressed when I have to battle traffic to get access to nature.
