Ed, here is a recording from Microsoft Workshop (5 hours!) on Quantum Computing: https://microsoftevent.eventbuilder.com/event/22621/occurren...

This worked perfectly! I found what I was looking for. Thank you so much for writing this and sharing with others.

You're welcome. I just added a little search feature (in the spirit of my bad SQL joke above) to the JS version. It uses a JS regex.

“We find that WhatsApp, Facebook, and digital maps on phones are highly valued by our subjects with median compensations for losing 1 mo of access of €536, €97, and €59, respectively. Other applications such as Insta- gram (€6.79), Snapchat (€2.17), and LinkedIn (€1.52) are valued an order of magnitude lower and Skype (€0.18) and Twitter (€0.00) have very low median valuations. (Average valu- ations or valuations for any given consumer will typically differ from median valuations.) In follow-up interviews, respondents reported that the strikingly high values for WhatsApp reflected its tight integration into their daily lives for coordination with family, friends, colleagues, schoolmates, and others and the high compensation needed for being digitally separated from this network.”

Mr. Guzman literally froze his credit!

OP, I would like to learn more about your story as well. How did you arrive at your decision that RN is not a good fit?

I really don't want to rail on RN. My experience is 2 years old at this point, and even then it was the internal decision we made based on our use-cases and needs. Yours are likely different and maybe RN would be a silver bullet for you.

We tried it for a few months in earnest.

There were a lot of bugs or incomplete APIs for our use-cases. Off the top of my head, if I remember correctly - intricacies and bugs around input handling, the JS navigator implementation didn't properly support swipe back/forward and we could crash it with a couple well timed taps, landscape mode was non-existent, same with master/detail view. We were able to make a few screens in a few days, but polishing them to a shippable standard took exponentially longer or was relatively impossible without doing more native work than what would have been necessary to build it natively from scratch. There were also serious perf issues, like around list views.

Our team members submitted a few PRs to the github repo and they took months to get merged, if at all. Back then it felt like nobody was really at the helm. I suspect this has gotten better since then.

Was RN available for Android when you were testing it?

RN for android was publicly released during the time we were experimenting.

I have tried booking Airbnb many times. In my case, each time it was much more expensive than the hotel room I could find via priceline (even more once I include the extra fees from the Airbnb's fine prints).

The highest denomination note of INR 1,000 is worth about USD 15.

And they'll be introducing a new Rs. 2000 note, worth about $30

> "but the Rs 1000 note was just worth $15USD"

So, I think he agrees with you and is just pointing out without the 500 or 1000 note's the 100 is only worth $1.5USD.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but there is no "without". The new Rs 500 and Rs 2000 notes will cover the difference.

The new bills have yet to hit the streets, and the old bills don't count as long term stores of value. So, for a little while India is arguably 'without' Rs 500 and Rs 2000 notes.

Basically, they are no longer bills but checks with expiration dates.

The new bills will start circulating in 2 days.

Yep, but even tomorrow is not today.
