I totally understand why you'd feel like this, but I think there are two big reasons why this is only true to a lesser extent with RN:

1) There are a ton of native APIs that accomplish exactly the same things, but have different APIs because different people built them and there's no pressure to make them consistent. Examples: layouting (just calculate x, y, width, height's of a view tree), animation, storage, networking, touch handling, the list goes on... it's a waste to have to learn the implementation specific quirks of each platform.

2) We've focused on making sure we can make apps at least as good as the native ones for the platform. Specifically this has meant exposing platform specific apis (e.g. Android's material touch ripple, iOS's gaussian blurs, etc), allowing arbitrary new ones to be added, and encouraging designers to still design their apps for each platform individually.
That's a pretty bleak and limiting view.

Destroying the environment is half of what the military does during wartime. So long as we have militaries, it's hard to see a future where we're not burning cities, bombing bridges and other critical infrastructure, and driving around highly environmentally unfriendly tanks, planes, and warships.
>They don't want their opponent to know what they are looking for or how they find them.

That is a tired old excuse. I think it's safe to say that cat is out of the bag now. The government wants to protect these methodologies from disclosure because they are in fact unconstitutional, and disclosure (as in part of the official public record) threatens existing convictions as well as present and future investigations. Additionally, there is probably more than a little bit of paranoia within gov't that someone might get in hot water over the illegal things they've been up to; though I'll believe that's a real fear after I see a gov't agent actually go to jail.

Meh. People say the same thing right before starting a Node project with Sublime. Then they proceed to write an unmaintainable mess of JavaScript. With only the original author knowing who calls what, what gets returned, interface definitions, etc.

> Falcon Heavy is ultimately intended to take a vehicle to Mars.

No, it's not; the business model for the Falcon Heavy is heavy comsats (communication satellites) to GEO with reusability of all three cores. The Mars science mission idea is a nice use-case, but more of an every-once-in-a-while kind of thing.

For their Mars colonization effort, SpaceX is currently developing a fully reusable rocket with a larger payload capacity than any rocket that ever existed; Falcon Heavy is too small for that.

>It's interesting that Falcon Heavy costs 1.5x as much as Falcon 9, but carries 4x the payload.

where did you get that numbers from? the page says $60m for ~4.85t to GTO for F9 and $90m for 6.4t to GTO for FH. price for maximum performance isn't quoted; i believe without reusability it'll be about 3x F9 (there's three F9's in the FH, after all).

yes you are supposed to be able to tell even if you don't know the tunes

They cant have a monopoly on their own product, thats ludicrous.

'apple has a monopoly on the iphone'

'GM has a monopoly on cadillac'

Of course they have a 'monopoly' on android, android is their product. Android has captured 64%[0] of the smartphone market in russia, this is again not a monopoly. A monopoly would capture 100% of the market, thats the definition of a monopoly.

I'm eager to hear what market Google has captured 100% of, because its not search or smartphones

If you have some musical knowledge or experience it's pretty easy to tell which tunes are wrong even if you've never heard them. Assuming you have knowledge of the western musical tradition, e.g. modes, major/minor keys, etc, it's usually pretty clear where a melody should be going even if you haven't heard it (i.e. it will probably remain in the tonal centre of the piece).

In the US anyway, landlords already run reference and credit checks.

So now, in addition to the intrusive questions with gobs of personal data that the landlords give us, we will have to give more data to this service and have future roommates run credit checks on each other? No thanks.

This creep of "services" into what should be a part of normal social interactions and analysis is slightly worrying; to say nothing of the commercialization of personal relations ("You read the reviews before buying a toaster on Amazon, why wouldn't you want to learn more about the person you're about to share a bathroom with?"). And I say this despite having had a 'bad roommate' situation last year which this service would have probably prevented (in fact, in that case, the landlord's checks did flag the guy, but we let him live with us anyway).

Concept cars are super common in the car industry. They're not in any way intended to reflect an actual car headed to production. Here's one of BMW's concept cars from a while ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BMW_Mille_Miglia.jpg

Whether they're worth paying attention to, or worth doing at all, is an open question. I don't disagree with your dislike of them.

You're not likely to make a non-trivial amount of money from selling the name, so it's more down to whether you're sufficiently enthused about the idea (the idea isn't likely to be a money-spinner either, but maybe it's a great fun project for you)

There's an inconsistency on the page.

The pricing subtext for the FH says 6.4mT to GTO, but lower on the page the FH specs say 21,200kg to GTO.

For the F9, it's clear that 4.85mT to GTO is the same as listed below. So I'm assuming the 21,200kg to GTO for the FH is incorrect. Or there is something I'm missing? (additional weight required for GTO and which subtracts from the 21,200kg?)

I agree that coping skills are an advantage, but you seem to be suggesting that a decline in emotional expression has led to or somehow enabled industrialization.

Causality probably runs the other way around. The author suggests a plausible mechanism for this massive cultural shift: factory owners and managers discouraging emotional display in the name of productivity. Do you have an alternative viewpoint?

Your statement that lower emotional availability (relative to contemporary office culture) is attractive and beneficial seems counterintuitive to me. So much of our work is done in teams that it seems the stereotypical inscrutable, unapproachable engineer personality is more of a liability. How would you define 'emotional availability', and what makes less of it attractive?

In hindsight, it would be hilarious (and perhaps even useful?) if the helicopter started running on its feet after landing!

Joking aside, given that the legs operate individually, I wonder what happens in case of a failure in one of them, or when one of them gets damaged during landing.
Keying in a specific pin might actually be an incriminating and video-recorded action, so while it would probably make a compromised ATM harder to spot, it would be risky. Passing by with no physical contact is less incriminating, even if it does become suspicious.

Quotes in "whale-harming" are totally unnecessary. Is a well known fact that naval practices kill whales. An example; massive strandings in Canary islands were a big problem until Spain ban the use of navy sonars in its shores. Result: No more cases of entire groups of several agonizing whales in the beach since them. Not a single one.

I wonder what other protocols you could use. Perhaps a WiFi system that looks for a WiFi hotspot with a specific name (easy to do on most smartphones) which then connects automatically?

Automated moderators is a nice idea, but it has to be continually expanded, and with human help. If you start blanking out or replacing certain words (wordfiltering) the toxic users will quickly start transforming the existing slurs or even coming up with new ones.

One thing that I find weird coming from someone working with online social systems is the notion that the cause for toxicity is homophobia, sexism and racism. The way I percieve it, those slurs are said with the purpose of berating, annoying and/or offending the other player, and put them "on tilt"[1]. The player says those things regardless of their gender, race, sexual preferences and personal opinions/beliefs. This means that calling someone and homosexual, the "N word" or saying they "did" their mom has exactly the same connotation and "mean" the same thing.

Of course, there is also the way the recieving end percieves the insult. But most of them are gamers so I believe they know the insult is not an attack on their gender, race, etc. It's just a way to get them riled up. To sum up, the problem is not the content of the insult, is that there are insults.
