I'd consider it a satisfying little exercise in deductive reasoning / OSINT – if reasoning is worthwhile and exercises are worthwhile, then this must be as well


> [...] provides more protection for the contributor (Facebook) against software patent claims of licensees. It’s odd that a community so opposed to software patents would find this objectionable [...]

While confusion about the license might be behind some or most of the community reaction, the fact that the license refers to litigation over any patent, not just software patents, neutralizes this punchline. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this clause positions Facebook to fight any patent infringement suit with a software patent infringement suit, which is not in the spirit of the opposition to software patents at all.


As an exercise of the limits of this advice, how does this apply to designing elevators, short of "never design elevators"?


hard brakes that apply when doors are opened manually, and an emergency panel behind which a small ladder is located.


The costing difference between an elevator and stairs is substantial. Especially when you have to have stairs when you get an elevator by building code.


By having a manual fail safe that operates mechanically. i.e., without power.


Controlled descent to the next (lowest) floor, at which the properly aligned doors can be manually opened.


Cool— quite similar to one we developed: https://github.com/two-n/join-transition

This sort of declarative transition comes in handy for us all the time. Two features I don't see yet in React-Move that we find useful is a prop for more precise control over the staggering (orderBy), and custom interpolation (interpolate).


Custom interpolation is on the way, along with custom easing functions. As for the staggering, It would be fairly trivial to add some more customization to the parameters that go into it. Join this slack org and maybe we can chat about it? https://react-chat-signup.herokuapp.com/


FYI, just added support for custom easing functions. :)


Tesla's mission is a prerequisite for SpaceX's— it's difficult to establish modern civilization on Mars, but establishing fossil fuel-powered civilization there is a non-starter.


In that case would it be fair to ask him [sic] whether his unborn children are the surplus population?


It would be pretty silly to ask whether people who don't exist are anything at all.


I thought the Seinfeld one was great for a few minutes, and then just wound up watching the rest on the screen that's behind you ;-) But I did appreciate the camera direction more


Both built around not just smart people but increasingly smart machines. The manufacturing processes and the autonomous vehicle products themselves are cases of state of the art robotics at scale. Some of this overlap is perhaps embodied by SpaceX's VP of Software Jinnah Hosein doubling as Tesla's VP of Autopilot Software before Chris Lattner's arrival.


My team and I have been using and finding success with such a pattern for a couple of years now.

As others are alluding to, transitions are not currently so easy to express with React alone. We wrote and recently open-sourced a React component that aims to encapsulate the power and simplicity of d3 transitions (feedback & contributions welcome): https://github.com/dechov/join-transition/


Nice - thanks for sharing this
