So discrimination is ok because you know, we have to make as much money as possible
> State troopers who found Paxton’s body in his overturned and partially submerged truck had said there were no barriers or warning signs along the washed-out roadway. He had driven off an unguarded edge and crashed about 20 feet below
> Juul (which is now majority owned by Altria) is the most reputable one
> Altria are a very legit operational business
Worth noting that Altria used be known as Philip Morris - a company that has decades of history of marketing cigarettes to children and covering up the dangers of tobacco.
They are in no way, shape, or form a "good" company.
Never trust an engineer who says they don't need to write tests. It's somewhat of a dream for many engineers to be heads down working alone on deep technical problems but while coding may be solo endeavor, _code maintenance_ is a team sport. It's never good to let someone go it alone for too long.
Side note: It's much simpler to say "they/them" when referring to someone rather than "he/she", "s:he", and "his/her".
You're rewording what they said. If any group of people is more policed than another group of people, said group is more likely to have a criminal record. Doesn't mean they're more "criminal" than any other group but more of a reflection on the current state of the criminal justice system.
To paraphrase Warren Buffet: "If a cop follows you for 500 miles, they're going to find a reason to give you a ticket."
Why did the three women not get arrested for filing false police reports? Especially for falsely claiming that the man had a gun. There have been many, many reports of what happens when the police arrive on scene thinking there's an armed person for these women to not know what could happen. Also, accusing someone of being a pedophile and participating in drive by shootings?
If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend Henry Zhu's (Babel core team) talk from React Rally[1]. He talks candidly about the struggles of maintaining an extremely popular library and the demands and stress it puts on his life; especially now that he quit his job to work on Babel full time.
If your company uses Babel (which it probably does), please donate to Henry[2] or at the least, send him a thank you for his work.
Not to shamelessly plug but if you're in the Bay Area on June 28, we're giving a talk that's a bit about performance, a bit about Netflix engineering culture: https://jstalks2018.splashthat.com/.
TV's would be one (of many) limiting factors here. Most consumer televisions have, relative to most other computing devices, low processing power and disk space. Plus you have to factor the additional bandwidth load of downloading a 4K television show that you may not watch and then multiply that cost by 30 or 40.
That's pretty close. For our use case (and many others), the biggest culprit for increased TTI is the sheer size of the JavaScript payload and the time the browser takes to parse the whole bundle[1]. We still use React and other libraries on the server to generate the HTML but rather than sending all that JS down, Tony worked out exactly which client interactions still needed JS and wrote those in plain JS which resulted in a big TTI win as the browser simply had less data to parse.
I'd love to sit and talk React with you and your team. We're always particularly interested in performance optimizations so maybe we can swap some knowledge.
Not aware of any team that is actively avoiding React but we're a fairly prolific bunch when it comes to public speaking and knowledge sharing so perhaps I missed some announcement from another UI team. A few of my colleagues will be speaking at the SFHTML5 meetup[1] in a few weeks if you'd like to come hang out and talk shop or feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] :).

Well over a month later and they're just now getting around to telling people about a security breach that could affect almost half of all Americans...
