Oud is exceptional. I highly recommend anyone wanting to explore beyond western perfumes to check out www.ensaroud.com - there's some really fantastic descriptions of olfactory notes too.
The bloom and trail effect given by ambergris is replaced with ambroxan, however combining ambroxan and ambrinol does little to recreate a "real" ambergris odour. Those may thousands of other molecules, while perhaps only <5%, give a very distinctive and unique odour. It's like a rich leather bag that's been floating in the ocean for +30y - salty, marine, animalistic, musky and leathery all in one.
This is a perfect HN user response. You are a power user; "This is even worse if I am using a per-site email address" - no one does this. The majority of people are normal.
It depends. I used magic links for a system where the user would log in every 6-12 months. It didn't make sense to force them to make a password.
Why is it that starting a tech start up is seen as an uber difficult task often resulting in burnout while starting a business in a technical occupation such as electrical or refrigeration is (seemingly) less risque? Surely there are a plenty of opportunities where rather boring software can be applied to business problems. Does it always need to be a monumental technical accomplishment to create a success?
The tax burden has been moved from corporations and the upper class to the middle. Perhaps changing that dynamic would be more useful than spouting memes which support your own detriment.
> The U.S. greatest competitive advantage has been culture
I'd argue it's being the global reserve currency not culture.
How does capitalism provide freedom?
The American laissez faire system seems to be falling apart at the seams. Power and wealth is becoming more concentrated while seeking to solidify that position through limiting the freedoms of the lower classes.
Regular people are burdened with student debt and health care costs all within a back drop of little to no social support. Unions striking for better working conditions have their corporate controlled health insurance stripped away. Banks write balance sheets as they see fit, devaluing your wealth and causing financial crises. The list goes on.
Being forced in to wage slavery to survive in this system doesn't sound particularly free.
Anarchism doesn't aim to establish a system without power. The example that a group would seek to rule through force and guile is very much true. In fact that group is already well established and indeed does use a militarised arm to enforce the model. Anarchism seeks to dismantle this, not enable it.
That doesn't excuse the contradictions. One can't expect a new system to be planned out and solve every problem. Anarchism seems to offer a methodology for moving towards a fairer and just society which removes the contradictions inherent in a system of concentrated power.

Thank you for the advice. I will forge on as I suppose that is the only option!
It's that part at the end there - "write it in AMD format, so that you could load it via require.js" - it just isn't straightforward. Why can I not just use it as is?
I know I'm being a bit silly silly here but it seems awfully difficult to get started. Too difficult if you ask me. Am I missing something fundamental?
I can certainly get there in the end but there are a lot of configuration tasks to get there.

Things were so swell. I built a react.js component, I was so chuffed. I even put a gif on the readme https://github.com/jarsbe/react-polyselect.I wanted to share my work for others to use (including myself). A simple request right? I remember the days (I'm so old) when I could make a jQuery plugin, and use it in my project by adding a script tag. It was easy.We seem to have believe now that...

Good point actually, I'd really like to extend this idea into a fully fledged (1000-2000) post.

The internet is a reflection of the physical world and last time I checked the physical world isn't perfect. Welcome to reality.
