Not only are you right, but Google realized you're right. They've removed some of the overdone animations--tap on some of the buttons on iOS Hangouts and you'll see. And the color blocks aren't quite as searing anymore (didn't the original version of the spec call for FABs in a contrasting accent color, like bright yellow?).

I view the YouTube iOS app as a good example of the direction Material Design is headed; it's even dropped the hamburger menu, which was a big part of the original spec.
You mentioned my point , Microsoft is too big to fail, in software development term they are bigger than Google and Apple combined . They are one of leaders in gaming industry (which is pure money, even profitable than web). They controlling Windows which dominate whole pc market without even competition(don't get me wrong , I have been on fedora for years and I am on fedora right now, but thats it truth , Microsoft is absolute leader of PC's).And after this new smart CEO they understand what was wrong about their approach and they are fixing it right now.
they are pushing cloud as fast as possible. they are dead serious about edge.they are bringing ssh and whole another tools to make windows more developer friendly.They are pushing windows 10 for internet of things more than google pushes android for internet of things.(Because they know it will be a revive for Windows phone) and whole another things.

If I were google. I would be very stressed , Nadella's Microsoft is not ordinary company and it is attacking google in every front.

Google's biggest mistake was their hesitate to beat windows on desktop(I would say recent news about chrome/android desktop version is related to their analysis from Microsoft approach). We all know it does not matter where goes computing. Desktop will be there ! even for 10 % of users (developers). but desktop will not dead (there is no way , absolutely ).And until desktop is alive , Microsoft is like snake with venom , ready to attack.

I am betting on Microsoft ( despite being linux guy ). Microsoft coming back and they compete vigorously , because they have resource , they will win !
Why is this so? Is this because of their use as fake traffic?
This sounds a little like test driven development.

That's true, but not what I was thinking of. Even big websites of some repute (like The Economist) are in the habit of letting a multitude of external agents run unrestricted JavaScript on their pages. As in this case, that power can be used to distribute exploits.
It seems to me like an accurate reflection of reality though.

The treaty hasn't passed yet; that reality doesn't exist. We don't yet know what the future will produce and who will have what effects on how it turns out. At any rate, pessimism is probably not the most helpful contribution to the process.
6 Easiest Ways to Increase Your Workplace Productivity
http://keith.seas.harvard.edu/papers/148.Holmes.Keith.Contac... is probably the most advanced current geoengineering proposal currently; the estimated cost is US$60 per tonne of CO₂ removed, proposing to spend C$140M to construct a facility that removes 1 megatonne of CO₂ per year. (One of the authors constructed a small-scale prototype a few years earlier.) If this is correct, a facility to remove all of the 29 billion tonnes of CO₂ emitted by human activities annually would cost C$4 trillion to build (about one month of global GDP) and cost US$1.7 trillion per year to operate (about 5% of global GDP, comparable to the total amount currently being spent on energy.)

That is, unless Keith's analysis is wrong, low-risk geoengineering to completely remediate current CO₂ emissions is clearly economically feasible, but not as a skunkworks project — it's a project of a size comparable to the entire existing energy industry, so it would need to be supported by the full influence of the current Establishment. It clearly cannot be done as a market-driven project.

These costs, already somewhat pessimistic, should come down a bit as energy becomes cheaper with the proliferation of photovoltaic farms. Indeed, much of the operating cost is the energy used, which would have to come from non-carbon-burning sources.

Many of the other geoengineering approaches mentioned — cloud doping, ocean fertilization, stratospheric acid, space mirrors — would probably be cheaper. Unless they crash the Earth's climate system!
No. This isn't the same thing at all.

The C# runtime on android is used by thousands of apps; this is simply a dart runtime that runs on android.

This is a cool project; and its great to see people trying to do interesting things with dart; Dart as it currently stands is a total and abject failure in all of its goals as a replacement for javascript.

New goals for it to live as a mobile platform might give it a breath of fresh air. Pretty nice to see; it's a nice language with a good ecosystem, if it gains traction as a 'app' language, it could go places.

...but this is absolutely not Google saying 'the future of android is dart'.
Agreed; the pagefair post is great and described the exact nature of the attack. The economist should have linked to their original post. Until I read your comment, my main question was, "How would I know if I was infected?" Was it a silent drive-by download/install? Or would I have had to click a dialog? Did it require manual installation of a downloaded executable? In fact it required all those things, so it's very unlikely the average HN reader could have been infected without their knowledge just from having visited the economist during that window. From the economist post though, there's no way to know. In the extreme case, someone could end up spending a ridiculous amount of time changing all their passwords and financials completely needlessly.
Google is notorious for officially funding multiple competing solutions to every problem under the sun. I'm not trying to discount how important this is for Dart, but this announcement here doesn't carry even a thousandth of the heft as e.g. Apple's support for Swift over Obj-C.
I dual boot for games. In practice, I start Windows like twice a year. If the game isn't native and doesn't run in WINE, it simply never gets played. Just have too much stuff going on in main OS to stop it all for a few hours while I reboot and play.

We are building a Flutter plugin for Atom. Today, it can syntax highlight, code complete, refactor, launch apps, create new apps from a template, show type hierarchies, jump to definition, and more.

Why not Android Studio ? this release announcement is weird. it seems to be as much political as technical.
The smart way to generate bindings nowadays would probably be to use Clang to get an AST and auto-generate the wrapper code.

But TBH I've never quite seen the point of binding scripts to C++ classes in general.. C++ is already a great way to write that code, why have a messy layer in the middle!

The place where I'd have thought it makes sense is for custom APIs, e.g. in Tracktion we let the users write javascript to control the app in response to keyboard shortcuts, but for that we have our own API that they can call. Never quite understood the use-case for more general library bindings to generic GUI classes, but I guess people have their reasons!

Compare this to Symantec's response to issuing signed certificates for google.com[1], where they downplayed the issue and said they only found 3 instances when back over the last decade with a fine tooth comb. Followed by Google finding many more instances just using the certificate transparency logs, answered by Symantec with more doublespeak.

As a German: Could someone explain me, why Americans love to be "1/8th something"? There is a high chance that whenever I talk to someone, they say "Oh, yeah, I am 1/64th German!" - and if I ask them if they know the language or culture (besides Rammstein) or if they visited Germany ever, almost anyone says no.

Is it just one of these safe smalltalk topics, like sports or weather? In the future, should I be interested and ask them about it? Or just say "how nice" and move along?

I was part of GumRoad's recent 10-day challenge called Small Product Lab. I had this feeling that they were getting very good at their business. I'm about to finish up work on my ebook. I was to go with GumRoad. As per my research, they were THE best in terms of design, seller pricing and payment experience for end-users.

The next best would be PulleyApp.com by BigCartel. Costs $6/month. Nowhere near Gumroad's percent-per-sale pricing. But BigCartel.com has been around for a long time (I remember they focussed on helping people sell tshirts online). PulleyApp is just their digital variant.

The main downside of most GumRoad-alternatives is that if the product's sales go down or just die out. Unless seller has made huge amounts of profits (say $10k), then paying $6/month to keep it alive for previous customers might slowly leak out profits previously made.

If anyone is to buy Gumroad, it should be Twitter (or Facebook?). They have the buy button and GumRoad would be a nice fit for small sellers.

I've seen it in a few stages over the recent years. The step from open-roof construction site to a close place of worship was - and still is - captivating.

(Though walking up and down the spires in the earlier stages was much more fun than the lift, if a little scary.)

While it certainly doesn't have the duration of this construction: After watching the LOTR making of, I'd say projects like this are the closest equivalent to the construction of a medieval cathedral, w.r.t. scope and scale, attention of detail, the imagination of a whole, complex interwoven result that conveys a planned experience.
I think they are trying to be more friendly to non-android developers , and you may noticed this is platform for both iOS and Android . If it were for only android they you were right, but as it stated they targeting iOS too, then we can deduce they are trying to be more like React or Cordova(if I spell correctly).

p.s. It seems that is their approach , does not mean I agree with that.I would prefer android studio support. Then they can advertise android developer can produce iOS version of their app in android studio too.But clearly they want be more like react.

The problem is that by not plainly stating his position, if someone challenges it he can always fall back on, "I didn't say that" which is annoying for interlocutors. He doesn't even have to be the kind of person who would fall back on that defense, because it's so common that people are on their guard for it. It's difficult to have a quality discourse with someone that won't make their point plainly and argues mostly by implication.
Intellij Idea and Webstorm already supports Dart as language. I am guessing they wanted something lightweight initially. Since Flutter is in pre-alpha state, support for Android studio may come later.

Multigenerational projects will be those of enormous scale. Interstellar exploration and colonization of other planets, especially terraforming, are obvious ones. But for a single building to take that much time? That's unimaginable today.

I'm pretty sure the Sagrada Familia could have been finished sooner if more money had been thrown at it, but in a sense, I also think such a prolonged construction process is itself a work of art. We are often in too much of a hurry, leading us to cut corners.
I've worked for many years in quant finance, and I can totally understand that the ordinary consumer would rather have a robo-advisor.

Costs are lower, and realistically you are not getting special treatment. You will simply be a financial stereotype (old/young etc) and you'd get the advice anyone like you would get. No point in paying a huge fee to have a real person sit there and tell you the orthodoxy.

For wealthy people, you still want flesh-and-blood advisors. They have special deals that even banks can't get, and they understand your needs (private jet, yacht, staff) and can plan around it.

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like a pretty perfect application for the bootstrap - a remarkably intuitive but powerful framework. Without loss of generality, imagine that you have two populations, A and B, and that you want to test some hypothesis about a statistic of A being different from a statistic of B (mean, in this case). Using the simplest form of the bootstrap you would do the following:

1. Pool and randomly label the data from A and B
2. Sample with replacement and form two partitions of the same cardinality as the original A and B groups
3. Compute the differences in mean
4. Rinse and repeat millions of times to form a distribution of mean differences
5. Check if the observed difference in means (from the true A/B labels) is statistically significant relative to the distribution found in (4)

This has some problems with fat tailed distributions but tends to work great otherwise. It's so simple that it avoids a host of pitfalls that can arise with other resampling schemes (what's being proposed is a type of resampling), and I love that it makes basically zero assumptions on the underlying data.

I don't think it's worth worrying about inequality at this stage, we've gone past the tipping point. The people that can make a change have no desire to do so, and they hold the reins tightly now. The rest are either frustrated and powerless, or dizzy on propaganda.

So I think we'll see more environmental destruction and species dying, more debt-slavery, and yet more war coming out of the US because the petrodollar is worth destroying our planet over, and a banking/finance system that is corrupted and uncontrollable. Unless there's some light at the end of the tunnel that I'm unaware of (aside from a train packed with a few people that think they earned their billions because of such hard work).

Interesting, it looks like AppHub gets a bit pricey. It's not hard to build a basic version of this from scratch (just a basic update service running on a Droplet, and a routine in the app to check for new js bundles on launch and fall back to the last known good bundle or the shipped bundle in case of a failure). It's an interesting niche but I'm not convinced of the value at these price points.
