More seriously it is a kind of iconography that was present in many countries in the 1900-1950 period (and even later in URSS and other communist countries) often in the form of propaganda posters, here is a Chinese one:

> Dart was basically Google's CoffeeScript, a compile-to-JS language that was supposed to sand off JavaScript's rough edges while still running in any web browser with JavaScript support.

Actually (and this is ultimately the reason for a lot of the political resistance), Dart was imagined as a replacement for JS, with an in-browser Dart VM as the ultimate preferred target for front end. Dart2JS was overtly a bridge until other browser vendors signed on by adopting the DartVM or implementing their own. (It was used even for Chrome, because Google wanted to avoid Chrome-only or “runs better in Chrome” Dart code on the public web, but that was insufficient to quell political resistance.)

> This is one of the things that's bothered me with it - in a similar vein to VATMOSS, GDPR will probably have more of a burden on smaller businesses

In a weird way, VATMOSS and GDPR kind of work together on this...most things we collect at work that will be covered by GDPR are collected because of VATMOSS.

VATMOSS requires that we be able to justify what country's VAT we collect on a given online purchase with two pieces of "non-contradictory" evidence. So, right there we have to collect at least two things that provide location data about the customer, and GDPR expands the definition of personal data to include location data. I say "at least" because since it is required to have two non-contradictory pieces of evidence, it's prudent to collect at least three.

I think we currently use: (1) country the person selected from the "Country" drop-down on our site, (2) GeoIP at time of purchase, (3) GeoIP at time of filling out quarterly VATMOSS report, (4) GeoIP on IP addresses that they have used when downloading updates, (5) Country of bank that issued the credit card or debit card used for the purchase.
Just a note: one of Flutter's differentiators is that renders every pixel, straight to OpenGL / Vulkan. It doesn't do cross-platform the way RN or Xamarin does it. It's more like Unity.

Since most featured mobile apps nowadays have very custom UIs, we hypothesize that this is a very important feature going forward.
I’ll happily never click another levels.io link again, knowing that the author is fishing for clicks and likes with content that only has a half chance of actually being readable.

It’s a pity, as the author looks like they’ve got interesting ideas and knowledge to share.
I wouldn't say marginal, but it is a lot easier to implement GDPR if you do it up-front, from day one. If you start off with a policy of just not collecting or storing information unless you've made a conscious decision that you really do need it, that's a huge start. From there, you your main obligations are to ensure that any personal data you do collect can be deleted at a reasonably granular level, and that you document your policies around data storage.

Is it free? No. But if you're spending a significant amount of time on it as a new startup building from scratch, something is very wrong.

And hell, if you started a company recently, you were given the chance to catch up to the incumbents in your market while they've slowed down to retrofit all their systems for GDPR compliance. ;)
The speed of light is a result of the laws of electromagnetism. No matter how fast you move the laws of electromagnetism and therefore the speed of light wont change.

I know of no way to make it intuitive though. Things improve slightly if you replace speed with 'rapidity' which places the speed of light at infinity, but then you get that objects with infinite rapidity don't travel instantly from one place to another (although this is true in some frames of reference).

So when Rio Tinto Kennecott (copper mine near slc utah) had to suspend operations a few years back following a slide, the pollution reduction and the power consumption of the whole area was impacted (positively, in my mind).

TVA provides power to a huge number of industrial operations like kennecott and with a reduction of strip mining operations (We don't mine coal anything like we did even twenty years ago) and the increase in renewables, insulation and smarter construction, I don't see why the TVA considers it bonkers, and that was really the article editorializing. If anything, we (computer industry) should be building more data centers in TVA serviced areas.

Not speaking for google here, but if you search for "TVA and Google" there's some interesting links..
> blame it on something that nobody can lambaste me for blaming

I once had somebody pull this shtick for being late to a meeting. I put it in the same category as using "traffic" as an excuse. Disasters which make the news are acceptable. Routine inconveniences causing one delays are okay, once in a while, but never if treated as an immunity against criticism. One should have planned better, by leaving earlier or taking another mode of transportation. Then there are the characters who leave the office late and blame it on traffic every time.
Exactly :).

I'll take that headline.
Wow, this was implemented poorly. Even just adding "gun" to the list of stop words I assume they have would have allowed "burgundy" to keep returning results. String contains boolean condition?

Bing Shopping also returns zero results for the search term "gun," but does return results for "gun safe," "burgundy," etc.

Yahoo! Shopping seems to have the best compromise, returning relevant results for the search term "gun," like water guns and such, but filtering out "real" guns.

The beautiful thing about the internet is we can go to another search engine, like DuckDuckGo. I would rather have Google mess this up and have to go to another site than the federal government attempt to increase regulatory control of internet traffic.

It will be interesting to watch this in light of the increase in electric transportation. If we were 100% electric, our energy grid in its current state would not be able to handle the load. If electric transportation sees exponential growth, I question whether current trends in renewable will be able to scale sufficiently to meet the demand, and suspect that an expansion of centralized production will be inevitable.

There's a "Face Recognition" tab that's new to the settings page since the last time I went through disabling things. For me, it shows up on the left side right under "Language".
>I should be able to opt-in if I want to.

As the top comment suggests, if Facebook runs face recognition on pictures of you and those pictures contain other people, there is no guarantee that they have opted into the program as well. You wouldn't just be making a choice for yourself.
I don't think they care about that unfortunately; This has been a long running concern of mine. You're involved with it even if you choose not to be.

Doesn't feel right.
You're not going to feel any better if you're late in your car on the way to the meeting.

I take the bus every day to work even though in total it takes exactly twice as long than if I took my motorcycle? Why because I like to read on the bus. It's not actually important to me to get there any quicker. In fact on days I have earlier meetings I just leave my apartment earlier. I think the idea that people wouldn't mind going slower may be real for a lot of people.

The problem with that is each system has slightly different requirements. Scripting state machines vs animation state machines are going to have very different constraints and end-goals.

This has been discussed a lot, and all signs point to it being debunked.
If you watch the track (not at a station) of a "dense mode" of transit, say BART, what you will see is multiple minutes of zero density and then a few seconds of high density. If you can have some density all the time, one can have a car like amount of space for each person and have the same throughput as current, standing-room-only, train systems.

I haven't found an LED yet that works in my dimmable ceiling fixture, where I can dim it to the lowest possible level and get a pleasing light. The incandescent gives a very dim, warm orange glow which is great for movie watching or other mood-setting purposes. The LED still emits a rather harsh and not-as-dim light even if it's rated in the warm spectrum. Have you seen a solution for that?
Good. We've needed a change in how we do things for a long time now.
It's not really automation, it's more outsourcing and competitive advantage. In fact, automation could theoretically make production more viable, which would bring electricity demand back up.
Sure, a big engine diesel is quick, but small-engine ones are slow. The lack of top-end power makes them suffer at highway-speed passing. The diesel Cruze, for example, has a 5% (4mph) lower trap speed at the end of the quarter mile over its gas sibling (with the same 0-60).

Also consider that 3.0L I6 diesel has the same 0-60 as a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder Honda Accord, but a huge reduction in highway acceleration (traps 98mph vs. 103mph in the Accord).

Note that it's only misleading due to the ambiguous grammar:

The sentence can be read as
"You’re saying that any object given this contract must be an object containing 2 properties (the object may contain no more, no less)"

or

"You’re saying that any object given this contract must be an object containing 2 properties (you are saying no more, no less)".
PWAs are far from being cross-platform mobile apps, Flutter (or React Native) is much better for that.

Adding onto this

Get a ironmaster superbench + attachments / or powerrack + bench, and some suspension trainers. Makes a huge difference on what body weight exercises you can do

For example, I do bulgarian split squats. But I have a TRX suspension trainer on a ironman adjustable bench, so I can have one leg suspended and have a more natural movement doing bulgarian split squats. This is a much easier progression going into a pure 1 legged pistol squats.

I use a modified reddit r/recommended routine /bodyweight fitness / callisthetics
Use git submodules. git submodules interact tolerably neatly with GitHub's PR functionality; if you make changes to your submodule, then it's straightforward to turn that into a PR that you can submit to the upstream repo. And since your updates are a git branch like any other, if the upstream repo won't accept your changes then you can just keep doing fetch+merge/rebase to keep on top of the changes at their end.

Of course, this is git, so the UX is a total disaster, and it's very easy to get yourself in a pickle. But Stockholm syndrome will set in after a while and you'll begin to find it tolerable.
With a documented data retention and deletion policy. You don't need to keep your DB backups forever, and a request to delete someone's data comes with some reasonable amount of leeway as to how long it takes you to delete it. Obviously you can't drag that out for a year, but from what I've been hearing, a month or two isn't unreasonable.

If you're doing DB backups daily, expiring backups after a month (or even, say, two weeks), should be no problem and not an operational risk at all.

As an app developer, I don't want to say this is impossible, loading and abusing private libraries has been done in the past. It just seems so unlikely. And it seems like if proved (decrypting network traffic from mobile device?) would destroy Facebook's image w/ customers.

I think more than likely the talking about a certain subject makes the ads stand out more than they would have. It's like, researching to buy a new car, all of a sudden you see that car everywhere on the road. It was there before but you just didn't notice it.

That's my take on it. Again, it's not be impossible. I just think it would be highly likely for facebook of all companies to directly snoop. (Maybe by proxy of other apps?) </TinFoilHat>
The irony is that Dart was co-created by Lars Bak, who is also known for creating Chrome's V8 engine.

It's all quasi-privately run in the US. They aren't expected to compete because like said it isn't natural. But governments are generally incompetent at building and maintaining power grids.

In the past, investment was been encouraged by allowing these companies a set rate of return on capital investments, but allow no profit on expenses. Thus, the energy company would get 10% return on any investment. This actually lead to over-investment in infrastructure--called gold plating. You need a new power tower? Build it as expensively as possible, with all the bells and whistles.

Now, there are newer forms of price regulation designed to eliminate gold plating.

>The incentive of a private owner will always be to sit on the network and collect rents and spend as little on maintenance and infrastructural investment as possible.

Governments have exactly the same incentives. And the results are clear. US public infrastructure is fucking terrible.

Puerto Rico is one example of public energy company. Didn't do so hot.
I've notice odd things like this too. I was visiting my grandma and a commercial came on for the Hover Cover, some silly thing with magnets. We spent maybe 5 minutes making fun of this product out loud, and when I got home that evening Facebook had a Hover Cover ad to show me.

Very odd coincidence.
Different kind of future proofing:

- is there a chance your family will get larger (new kids, marriage, maybe live with your parents when they start needing care) or smaller (if you have kids, do you plan to stay in this house when they leave house? If so, what will you do with their bedrooms?)? If so, how will you handle that?

- Make sure everything (in particular hallways, bathrooms and toilets) is comfortably weelchair accessible or can be made so, while not making distances too large for people who have difficulty with walking.

- Don’t overdo it with electronics; keep them relatively simple, with controls that you will still be able to use when your sight is bad, your hands are rheumatic, your brain isn’t what it used to be, or if you fall and break your wrist next week.

- If you have stairs, think of how you will live if you can’t use them anymore (temporarily or permanently)

“Taxing the fuel used by companies is hurting the economy more than taxing the fuel used by personal cars".
It's exactly the same reasoning/lobbying outcome that was behind the American (and now historic, I think?) tax advantage of light trucks over sedans. Both then lead to comparable, and in different ways unecological adaptations: diesels in Europe, F-150s stateside.

We would increase speed limits. Self driving cars will likely be limited by the law. Nobody wants their self driving taxi to be going 55mph when the humans are doing 80. I described this in reply to a different comment.

>Surface roads with at-grade intersections can't be sped up meaningfully, and there's no space for relatively high-speed highways, not without spending exorbitant amounts of money on building them.

Every red left or right arrow could be replaced with a blinking yellow or solid green for starters. I think we'll see laws about stop signs being equivalent to yield if turning right.

There's a lot of inefficiency baked into the system as a means to mitigate stupid people at high volume points.

For example, we don't bother stopping cross traffic for someone to take a left on solid green but we do at an intersection with a dedicated left turn lane/arrow because of volume. The volume in the latter case is high so we bother to include redundancy to protect the several people per year that would cause problems if they tried to take the left without cross traffic stopping. It's not worth it to have a lane and an arrow to protect at an intersection with a lower volume of left turns so we use a solid green and left turning traffic yields. As self driving cars decrease the number of people that wouldn't be able to take the left on a solid green or blinking yellow then we'll gradually see more of those and less dedicated turn lanes.

>If anything, the fact that humans tend to do things like drive too fast for conditions or leave too little a gap for safety means that properly safe cars will go slower than the average driver.

What's "too fast" isn't defined by us. It's defined by how people actually drive in the conditions. A self driving vehicle that drives like a student driver and gets from A to B no faster than the letter of the law allows is at a huge disadvantage. Nobody's gonna buy a car that's 20% slower everywhere and frustrating to watch operate. Nobody's gonna recommend it to their friends if they have to press the override button every time they want to pull out into traffic in a timely manner or if they're always getting honked at.

Sure, you can hand wave about it not being a problem with full adoption but you need to get to full adoption first and that requires a product that's better in at least one way and comparable/acceptable in all the rest. Look at electric cars. They didn't exist in the high end until Tesla made one that was better in a few ways and comparable in the rest.

It's not just creepy data gathering. It's specific, targeted emotional manipulation. Facebook runs "experiments" on its users to intentionally make them feel sad or depressed. They publish these works, proud of their accomplishments, and tell us that we agreed to be emotionally manipulated into a dark depression because we agreed to the Terms of Service when we signed up. Facebook believes you gave them your informed consent to fuck with your emotions because they believe you read their TOS and they believe it is morally okay to do stuff like this.

No, it's not worth those warm fuzzy feelings you get, because half the time it won't be warm and fuzzy but actually, it will be a depression that Facebook intentionally put you into, just to see if it could.

Facebook is not worth it. Email lets you stay in touch just fine.
