Some of it is about ideals, so spread Western ones; push the world closer to being a cultural monoculture.

Never say never, but it would be very rare for a fleeing person to pose immediate threat.
Examples would be people running for a gun, running to get help, running to kill someone else, or running for cover.

I think all of those cases are covered by any imminent threat clause, and thus do not need special exemptions. Just like there isn't an exemption that you are not allowed to shoot a retreating person. It simply follows because (with exceptions) retreating people aren't imminent threats.
> What will all these people do once farmers are unnecessary?

There aren't that many people working on farms in developed countries. In the US, only around 3 million people (or <1% of the total population) work on a farm. [0]

In other countries where many people are involved in agriculture, the pending industrialisation/automation of farming will probably have a similar impact to what happened in North America and Europe over the 20th century: more people will move to urban areas and add value to the economy in other ways.

You can specify "ANY" as the type in the query and get all results. Try running "host -a ycombinator.com". It doesn't recursively resolve CNAMEs like an A query does, though. Also, at least Cloudflare refuses those requests, to reduce DNS reflection attacks.
It's not just insurance if power goes down. It'll knock the edges off the price-peaks, which SA suffers badly from.

Gas fired power stations don't fire up until they can get the maximum price possible, and often try to drive the price higher by stopping producing power. SA is very vulnerable to that because there is no backstop of coal prices. OTOH, the minimum price of wind power and solar is much lower.

These batteries will kill the peaking gas generator game.

Or for the sake of the things money buys.
A big technical EE problem for analog computers is interconnects and their EMI/EMC interference issues and impedance issues. The analog specs for on-chip digital circuitry are much more relaxing to develop around. You can work around the interconnect issues on analog computers by dumping lots of power into the driver and input circuits but eventually some joker is going to point out that it would be electrically cheaper (in terms of current/power draw, etc) to transmit that 0 to 5 volt signal using something like I2C or SPI and then you're on a fast slippery slope to turning your analog computer into an exercise in DSP programming. At some point of complexity the interconnect cable driver circuitry is going to be power hungry enough that its cheaper to emulate the whole thing in floating point on a digital computer.

If you make a graph of PITA vs bit resolution, we're all pretty comfortable emulating digital computers on analog real world circuits using binary ones and zeros. Surely the gain is very little and the PITA increases very much by implementing digital computers on trinary + - 0 analog computers. Some think the graph is U shaped and at some resolution level, the PITA of analog high resolution falls beneath performance so it makes sense. Many like me think that graph never U shapes such that anything is "better" at emulating digital computers than using analog physical computers based on binary 0/1. AFAIK no one has built a modern floating point accelerator using opamps and A/D and D/A converters, so I find it unlikely its useful.

A two transistor NAND gate is after all just a analog computer using simple binary signals. All computers are analog its just the popular digital ones are only defined and well behaved when using binary analog signals.

There is some audiophile effect going on. Surely a mp3 codec running on a vacuum tube opamp would sound more mellow and all that.
-I don't think that argument stands up to scrutiny; Dresden (to take but the latest and most infamous example of WWII fire bombing) basically happened after Germany's ability to put up a fight had been crushed.

Most notably, in the 2nd half of 1944 they effectively lost the oil imports from Romania; at the same time, they were fighting on three fronts - with the Allies coming up through Italy and crossing the Channel, the Soviets from the east. They had to do an awful lot more with an awful lot less.

Granted, it could be argued that obliterating an important railroad junction like Dresden made logistics (even) harder for the Germans - but again, at that late point in the war it probably didn't matter much.
I don't thing the Berlin scene per se is "Mickey Mouse" but there are a lot of companies that grew to fast with a insane amount of money. A lot of times the founders were installed as CEO and had little to none experience regarding leading a business. The were just happy to "make it" but had no clear vision what happens after the big money came in.
Same for SC: They got a lot of money for a good idea (democratising music I would call it) but there was no clear vision or business model for the future just like OP calls it out. Some goes for a lot of other companies we've seen come and go.
In the end Berlin is just not as mature as the valley but this is changing lately at least from what I see

The bombing operations forced Germany not only to use its planes defensively instead of tactically against the Soviet Union (and build high altitude fighters to begin with), but also forced them to spend an enormous amount of resources on anti-air guns, bunkers for civilians, military assets and manufacturing, radar systems, and what not, all of which could have being spend.

As especially the USA's industrial output was much larger than Germany's, bombers might still have been a good investment, even if it didn't actually reduce Germany's industrial capacity, because it did reduce its capacity to wage ground war.

EDIT:
Also, even if Germany's industrial output did grow during WWII, it still tied up an enormous amount of resources: "The Allied bombing campaign also tied up valuable manpower, with Albert Speer (Germany's Minister of Armaments) estimating that in the summer of 1944 between 200,000 and 300,000 men were permanently employed in repairing oil installations and placing oil production underground.

I meant number of vehicles per physical location.

Delivering to a bunch of vehicles on one street or hitting a bunch of vehicles in one lot/garage is better than one fill per location.

Modern fuel pumps are slow compared to the old ones. (Seriously, if you stop at a gas station with the old style pumps it'll blow your mind how fast they are.) Sending someone to put 20gal in a van takes at least 20min assuming a few minutes driving. @ $9/hr that's the same labor cost as a $3 fee. Paying these people to come to you and fill your fleet of vans costs the same but is more convenient and ensures you get the lowest local price.

That's kind of my point, it doesn't really matter in everyday driving, and if you're interested in some "spirited driving", you want a car with more wholistic performance.

What's wrong about it? Unless you consider being successful and powerful as a "bad" thing. I don't get it. Isn't this similar to how people in some countries spend extra money to over purify water while people in Africa and Asia drink muddy water?

The value of a person depends on the per capita GDP of the country they live in. The net decrease in value caused by a US soldier becoming depressed is probably equal to the deaths of ~10 Iraqis. So in the absolute sense, the former is a bigger tragedy and needs a quicker solution.

The short answer is that if you build an x86 box based on crappy linux and updates then your security is based, fundamentally on the primitives which secure eveything else in the world.

It doesn't mean that it's the best. An x86/x64 ssh bug hurts everyone. But it means that everyone in the world gets fucked, more or less, and you don't have to worry as much.

Relying on random companies to secure your gateway puts you in the hands of random companies who not only do not care but also do not make theor own stuff and now lack the basic competence to do so.

Unless something comes along that halves domestic ground travel demand overnight it's not going to hurt the industry too bad. They'll just sell crude to China or whoever. Furthermore, if gas/diesel usage falls then other oil products become cheaper so while lost demand from transportation would not be close to fully compensated for elsewhere it will still be partially compensated for.

It's not the change that hurts, it's how fast the change happens. Think about the kinds of things that have hurt the industry in the past. They've all been very quick.
Exactly. As I mentioned in another comment, I hope somebody is feeding all this into a giant supercomputer neural network. Drone operations need to be closed loop, with only rare human intervention required.
“When you build your application in React Native, you are still running native code in an native app using a native framework. The Javascript framework is just handling the business logic.”

No, this is incorrect. Using merely UIView objects does not mean it is native. It’s not just an abstraction over native. Unlike something like NativeScript, the “great” minds at Facebook have decided to not only offer a JS wrapper around the native, but actually reinvent the wheel on everything. Tables? Let’s have a horrible implementation in JS. Gestures? In JS. Navigation? In JS. Animations? Core Animation you say? Nope. Even simple stuff like buttons are not native UIButton objects. There is nothing “native” in React Native.

Also, the single threaded model of JS just does not scale. The larger the app gets, the more and more it starts to lag. UI is rendering at 60 FPS, sure, but the lag comes from a constantly busy single JS thread.

And that’s before mentioning things like accessibility, large type support, basic iOS concepts such as margins and layout guides, etc. that are sorely missing from RN.

You want a ‘great’ tip? Don’t cheap out; hire native developers. Otherwise your users will suffer a lackluster and inferior product that looks nothing like the platform it’s running on.

I too have quit Facebook (and all social media) for long periods of time, but recently got back on. In the past I've felt pressure (from myself) to post witty things or drive up my friend counts. But now I see the value in just being a "consumer" - groups, articles, etc. Plus the added benefit of being able to see business pages, videos people send, etc.

I still agree it's crazy intrusive and addictive, I just think it's possible (though difficult) to find a middle ground.
> but it can't last forever in usual circumstances.

I don't think that's true. Imho this would be more correctly stated as "it can't last forever in theory".

It can't last forever where there is perfect information, or perhaps equal opportunity. But as you say it is "impossible for everyone to know everything" so this is never the case in the real world.

Thus the need for interventions (i.e. by the state) to correct asymmetries such as institutional inequality. These are failures of "pure capitalism" that need to be corrected by other means.

ISIL's actions in the war zone are acts of war and have fairly standard military objectives. ISIL's actions against uninvolved countries by directly attacking their citizens is terrorism. It's not an either/or situation.
> In 1985, when I was the Deputy Director of the Reagan White House Task Force on Terrorism, [my working group was asked] to come up with a definition of terrorism that could be used throughout the government. We produced about six, and each and every case, they were rejected, because careful reading would indicate that our own country had been involved in some of those activities. […] After the task force concluded its work, Congress [passed] U.S. Code Title 18, Section 2331 ... the US definition of terrorism. […] one of the terms, "international terrorism," means "activities that," I quote, "appear to be intended to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping." […] Yes, well, certainly, you can think of a number of countries that have been involved in such activities. Ours is one of them. […] And so, the terrorist, of course, is in the eye of the beholder.[62]

I think that science should be your ultimate goal as a scientist. Science is an inclusive goal, not an exclusive clique. You can certainly argue that your article was meant only for students and viewers who have access to IEEE's walled garden. But then you must also admit that your work isn't meant to benefit anyone else, except indirectly.

It also fosters discussion, since we can view your work and see whether it stands on its own merits, or whether it's related to the discussion past the title and the abstract.

The IEEE site also shows that your article has been viewed 238 times. My comment linking to the unimprisoned version was upvoted 5 times, and a good rule of thumb is that 4*upvotes = view count on a clickable link. (I've measured this in the past.) So your readership probably increased by at least 10%.

Lastly, I'm hopeful that IEEE and other institutions will eventually yield to the forces of technology, as the RIAA did. Attempting to stop technology by force doesn't have a good track record of success. It will be an unpleasant ride until then, but the world will be better off.

It's not really tips, is it, it's just a high-level React-Native-exists article. While I'm on though, what I'd really want to see in the next great-tips article are:

(1) How to make a project more future-proof? (Try it yourself: download any React Native demo app from the past 1-2 years, and see how many of those compiles without complaining about version, platform, what-not.)

(2) An actual cost analysis of a React Native project. My experience is that since most developers are still just learning RN, the good ones are too expensive or too busy, and you'll actually end up paying more for the same app.
