I agree, and try to write all my react without it, using redux, thunks and reselect heavily. I think it's easy to say it was a design error with hindsight. I'm happy React came along, and in the future it will either get better or

Most academic institutions pay to have access to the large academic sites. If you do need to read a paper that's still behind a paywall, you usually email someone at a different university who does have access, or even just look up the

In that case, the presence of the cameras gave a sense of security that was unwarranted. It didn't prevent the crime from happening, but did let the citizens think that that their presence would detract criminals, which it didn't,

The flip side to your flip side is that the cameras, for a number of reasons, do not always work. I remember dealing with a case of robbery, and it turned out that the camera was not working (either itself, or the transmission of the video

I agree with that. As I mentioned in another comment, the behaviour of the security guards and the police officers is often the most unsettling part of the experience. To quote myself in another comment: "Ok, you have to do your job an

Photographers being detained seems to be an unfortunately frequent occurrence in London (anecdotal belief rather than based on any numbers). There are a number of videos on youtube of people having filmed themselves being detained for the s

I'm in Eastern Europe right now, and the percentage of people I know who do this, either via a friend, friend of a friend, or a client, is high. Obvious, though not insurmountable, problems aside, I disagree it's niche.

I think people also forget that the point of the 10k hours is not just the time, but also the fact that experts actively spend time figuring our their weaknesses, and focus on that, while making sure their strengths don't start to wilt

I'm intrigued to know how the process for a 8$ cert is different to that of a basic free StartSSL cert. The last paid for certificate I got was a year ago, and getting a StartSSL certificate is just as streamlined a process as the paid
