What a close-minded comment to be at the top of a HN thread.

Obviously this is a complicated scenario. From what great body of research are you drawing your conclusions?

Have you considered population quantity or density in your comparison of the two nations?

A good starting point to explaining reducers is that you are reducing two things into one.

A redux reducer: The action and the current state reduce into the new state. And of course it doesn't matter how many reducers or combined reducers your state uses - they're all ultimately just doing this.

This also works for Array.prototype.reduce(). You're reducing two things into one.

I disagree.

Signal does a very important part but not 90%.

what about news feed, events, calendar, status updates, groups, pages, profile walls...

These are all mega useful tools that are used by 2 billion people for a reason!

I <3 Signal and I've converted many non-techies to it but I cannot easily inform everyone that I'm having a baby and they also cannot do this.

But I'm glad you're using it. it's a wonderful tool.
