Wouldn't it be great if Tesla kicks these cheaters in the bin and wins the car race (like the iPhone did vs. the other phones)? Pity producing cars isn't as fast as manufacturing an iPhone. Germany's industry is in real trouble, looks like they were cheating.

Yeah, I meant in more in shadow account way. They know who should be there but isn't (at least if you have friends and at least one of your friends gives them access to the phone contacts).
You should not start charging double to existing customers (which is why Stripe doesn't allow you to edit existing plans).

You should keep them on a grandfathered plan for at least a period of time and/or nag them to upgrade (optionally with a discount for their trouble).
That's a question of intent, and in my mind a different matter. I meant jerk as in inconsiderate, not murderous.
Just keep their current pricing as-is until the next time they need to change plans.
That's not possible according to GDPR.

Edit: downvotes? Really? Did you guys read the law at all?
It is neither a "naked display of political power" nor "forcing them to subsidize others".

The utilities have been granted a monopoly by the govt, and in exchange, are subject to regulations. If anything is a "naked display of political power" it is the granting of a monopoly.

The reason the monopoly is granted, is that it is most efficient as a society to have a single successful power distributor than to have multiple failing ones with redundant infrastructure (power poles, lines, etc.). And, for monopolies, to regulate them to reasonable profits instead of allowing any winner of the failing competitors to establish a rapacious monopoly.

With new developments in rooftop solar and batteries making it economical, it is sensible that these distributed modes be supported, and the system migrated towards distributed power. I've always wondered why this wasn't done sooner as a civil defense measure (as the interstate highway system was built as a defense measure, to transport troops to either coast in 24h). As such, they are only being forced to subsidize their customers' ability to either generate power or live at greater efficiency.
Hmm, thanks for that. Will need to read this more closely.

That's not as easy as it sounds. A few years ago I bought a Q1900 board and there are stability problems which might come from the hardware: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051

I've always wondered why more companies don't do this. I mean sure, if you've got a buyout offer then I can see why you might not want to open source your work, but in the case of a standard shut down, it'd certainly be better to let people get some use out of your work rather than none.
> "Being a dick to someone trying to earn a living says a lot about your character."

Wow, you hit the nail right on the head. Being a dick to someone trying to earn a living does say a lot about your character.

Cold calling someone is being a dick to someone trying to earn a living. Period.
Sure. For example, there is also logical evidence (proof) and interview/eye-witness testimony but, of course, eye-witness testimony is the least reliable form of evidence by far.
I had a friend try to connect his Google Pixel to his TV using a USB C -> HDMI adapter and complain to me when it didn't work. I then explained that USB C has AltMode which supports other protocols like PCIe and displayport but only if the manufacturer has included such functionality. He was both confused and annoyed that his Macbook could display it's screen on the TV but his Android couldn't even though the have the SAME PLUG. Dumb Dumb Dumb.

Stratolaunch runway tests - Dear Mr. Allen, please let your big bird take flight
Most of what you describe takes place at the state and federal level, but not local. In fact, discretionary funds are plentiful in our target market—people are often shocked to learn that we've never run into price objections when selling, and we've successfully sold to cities ranging in population from 20k to 4m. In other words, they aren't "awful purchasers" as you call them—they're hard-working, dedicated people looking to improve their efficiency with money to spend, but they aren't being provided with solutions they can experiment with on a monthly basis. We're trying to change that.

In addition, the strategy you've outlined is the one nearly every incumbent in every enterprise space has leaned on to protect themselves from disruption, but it only works for so long (as we've seen time and time again). I also think people overestimate the ability of large companies to quickly adapt their offering—the machinery of enormous sales, marketing, and product organizations can't turn on a dime.
Given that this is a thread on regulation of cryptocurrencies, can someone explain to me what is good (for countries, societies, the global economy, etc. and not individuals) about cryptocurrencies? I get that blockchains are useful for recordkeeping. But then I don't see what the appeal is of having a profusion of them co-exsiting as currencies. Am I missing something?

Related question, can I think of the cryptocurrency market as analogous to the FOREX market, but that these currencies don't have attached countries?
So we shouldn't try to help people in other countries until we are literally perfect? Or are you making the argument that the US government is in fact more oppressive than the Chinese government?

The reality for the US is if it tries to take action to improve perceived injustices in the world, it is being hypocritical and "imperialist". If it does nothing, it is selfish and heartless, having the power to help but doing nothing. As far as the US goes, we are screwed either way.

Regardless, I think I can look at what is happening in China, not like it, and feel foreboding about the future. This isn't some small country somewhere. This is the most populous country in the world and I empathize with the people who live there. And frankly, China is the heir apparent to the US as the global super power. This concerns us all.
Freedom isn't free. Unless there's a coup and it's non-violent but remember this is one American's opinion. If the Chinese don't want this then it won't happen. But give people some freedom and they'll want to be free. Just look at the student protests in Hong Kong. Once people learn that things don't have to be run via the current way they might rise up. Or they might not, and that's ok too, since the price could be death.

Certainly. I heat a small flat (~35 m2) using just a AC unit and it works great: low costs, very comfortable. The only problem is increased dryness of the air.

But for a bigger place the setup is costly: you either need a couple units or a proper design, otherwise you'll end up with a only a portion of your home warm. Plus, AC units are still significantly more expensive than just a "trash-burner" type of furnace that is the most popular.

Electric heat should be the cheapest form. That would end a lot of air pollution that is a very serious health risk in Poland.
Agreed. QT is by a very extreme margin the most competent I've seen. On an absolute scale, I'd still classify it as mostly incompetent. I still agree with the Mono team - your model and view model should be xplat, while your view should use platform-specific APIs.

Android users don't expect Android interfaces to work like iPhone interfaces and visa-versa. You can do all the skinning in the world but the underlying workflow of the interface won't match the platform.
Yes, but there's little point to it. There's a secondary exam, and unless you're going into a field involving safety-critical applications, they don't need P.E.s.
It's the old "No one ever got fired for buying IBM". Why would I choose a slightly better product from an unknown company? If it was the wrong decision it calls my competence into question. If I choose AWS and it was the wrong solution, no one will bat an eye because they would have made the same choice.

The fact that CloudFlare has "Flexible SSL" leads me to believe they don't care about security at all. I've asked them to at least post a "CF-SSL: Flexible" header or similar to responses so someone could develop a Chrome extension to alert on this behavior.

They're presenting sites over HTTPS to visitors while tunneling the full request in plain text over HTTP across the internet back to the origin server. Because of this, web browsers like Chrome will allow access to sensitive APIs like Geolocation despite the end to end communication being insecure.

If I could, I'd personally blacklist all "Flexible SSL" sites from my daily browsing.
If there's an electrical link between your system and the public grid, you're playing by the grid's rules. If you don't want to play by the grid's rules, you can't connect to the grid in any way.

p.s. Even if buy-all-sell-all doesn't make sense, requiring your electrical setup to meet grid standards does make sense. It's be surprisingly easy to cause a blackout, or to kill yourself, by messing it up.
It was very generous of the founders to arrange to keep Docracy up for this long, even after the business was shelved. I enjoyed seeing the stats on the few docs I had shared on Docracy over the years. The business model was obviously not quite there, although there is perpetual interest in any kind of tech that reduces legal costs. It is a shame that firms are so jealous about sharing knowledge publicly.

That’s never made much sense to me. I could see if you’re not using one of the major (portable) game engines—you might not want to spend the time developing Windows, Mac, and Linux ports. But if your underlying engine is already portable, would it kill you to hit build a few extra times to produce an “unsupported” Linux or Mac release?

Unless you’re deliberately using Windows specific stuff in you non-platform-specific areas like game logic. In which case facepalm.

EDIT: I know it’s not THAT simple but in general why not have a policy to be portable by default, platform dependent only when necessary?
With that being the case, then no startup would ever be successful (and disruption would not be a thing)..
If you took a picture with me accidentally in the frame that would be one thing, and I could not care less about it.

2. 998 - mmm..why not this?

3. 995 - nice number divisible by 5

4. 990 - well...why are we loosing $10 here?

Trying to learn & understand selling to B2B.
The single best advice Patio11 has given is "charge more".

It's certainly good advice in the right context, but it does very much depend on that context. For a B2C business, particularly one involving discretionary spending on something your customers enjoy rather than something they need, even a slight price rise can also backfire horribly, and equally a significant reduction can result in disproportionate user growth and retention and ultimately much better returns.

As far as I can tell, the best thing you can do in that sort of environment is test in your own particular situation, study your data, and be very careful about making dramatic changes that you will find difficult to wind back if they don't pay off.

If the user wanted privacy, they wouldn't be giving data to our services. It's a bit ridiculous to punish us for keeping what users freely give us.
They might be, but as far as I can tell the article didn't mention which standard(s) they are :-).
A brief search shows for "UTF-16 vulnerability" finds relevant results.

UTF-8 overlong sequences haven't been a problem for a while.

The choice of encoding is definitely relevant for all external file formats, protocols, APIs. We can't just let the choice of encoding be purely internal, though I agree that programmers should not need to care about what their runtimes use internally for strings, as long as it is Unicode (UTF-8, 16, 32, or some other UTF say).

But no UTF actually gives you random access by character index because a) no runtime is going to be ensuring normalization of all strings to precomposed sequences (not even NFC because NFC is closed to new compositions!), b) not every valid character will have pre-composed codepoints therefore (a) isn't even possible. Given this, UTF-16 and UTF-32 have no real advantages over UTF-8, and the false sense of simplicity they convey is dangerous anyways.
> The aspect of personhood that I'm referring to is the idea that we have two people inside of us, that develop independently.

The same experiment informed my understanding of consciousness in a different way. It's not that there are two people inside you. Rather, your mind is composed of many pieces that each individually only understand one apect of the world. The corpus callosum is just an easy place to make a split. You could subdivide further and see a similar effect on each subdivided part.

That's a thought experiment that could never be done for many reasons, but I hold out some hope we might some day be able to verify it non-destructively.
> We're not doing anything shady with the data we do have

But you can never guarantee that someone else won't do. The biggest issue to user's privacy has traditionally been data breaches. So even if you don't want to do something shady, a data loss might still be highly problematic for users.

I agree that IP addresses are unlikely to be the biggest concern here however.
It would come at a big cost, but lets optimise cities more for the people who actually have to live in them. The balance is too far from centre as it is.

I've had a YouTube channel for years, and talk with other creators on a regular basis. This article is basically correct, but glosses over the point of sponsorships, side deals, and most of all, Patreon. All YouTube creators that I know personally make more money via Patreon than ad revenue. Just a data point. In the old days, Patreon publicly displayed each Creator's pledge amount, and it could be compared to socialblade.com for estimated ad revenue.

While people obviously abuse this and I don't need to bring my dog on the plane:

My dog gives me reason to keep living and not kill myself on my darkest days.

When I wake up sweating and shaking and panicing from anxiety, my dog gives me something soft and comforting to hold and pet. A dog reacts and loves you and distracts you by licking and being playful and in your face.

Having been alone and suffering from this for a decade prior, I can say for sure my dog helps me.

What croc of a psychiatrist can't see this.

Edit:

As for being a crutch, anxiety is not logical. Sometimes there isn't something to confront. Just a fear of impending doom from some unknown source..no matter what you tell yourself, and how much you know there is nothing, you still shake, heart pounding, sweating, physical pain from anxiety.

I could take medicine and be dependent on that, or I could hug my dog
that comment you quoted was more a blanket attack at the cold way in which immigration is done. Send us your doctors, your lawyers, your engineers, but keep your poor and the like.

It doesn't necessarily have to go somewhere good. Collapsing pyramid schemes caused a civil war in Albania.

I suspect all the financial-instrument like coins will end up banned in the West, and one or two of the blockchain apps will survive. Maybe "filecoin". There will also be a lot of things called "blockchain" that are very unlike cryptocurrencies; the X509 PKI of the future.
> How fast is Dart 2?

Not really sure how to answer that exactly. Fast enough? :-) Performance is one of our top priorities for Flutter (basically priority #2 after "correctness"). There's still plenty of opportunity to optimize, though.

Honestly, so far we haven't found that Dart's intrinsic performance is an issue for Flutter. When we've investigated performance issues in the past, it's usually turned out to be around graphics or bad algorithms in the framework. Our most recent performance issue was related to compiling shaders on the fly; turns out if your shaders are super-optimised to render scenes really quickly, they can end up being so expensive to compile in the first place that you miss a frame or two when you first try to show the scene.

> I heard here that it enforces static typing

Sort of. It's more that the compiler does type inference if you don't specify types (as opposed to just not having any static types). You can still explicitly specify "dynamic" as a type, and generally if you just don't mention types it feels dynamic, still. (The Flutter framework itself always specifies types explicitly, because that helps catch bugs earlier.)

> I assume for performance reasons.

As I understand it, it's partly for correctness reasons -- it makes it much easier to catch bugs -- and partly for performance reasons.
Sounds like you want freight shipping?

No, I've shipped pallets of freight before, using Fedex among others. The issue is that I've got one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-foot_equivalent_unit, and I want to get it across the country full of stuff.

It's possible Fedex has provisions to do this if paid enough, but I think I'm looking for something more specialized. Like this, but I'm looking for more specific recommendations: http://rapidexpressfreight.com/freight-services/rapid-expres...
Presumably not for the creators of YouTube, though. Content creation on closed platforms = modern-day sharecropping.
That's not really a big deal. Most GPS satellites have two in them and they're not all that huge.
Every automatic does this, even a 1980's classic Mini has a kickdown cable. It basically forces the gearbox to shift down to one gear lower than it would normally do at the speed you are traveling at.
> Every complaint about it shows that you don't respect others and you dont care about them. And this is the reason it became legislation.

Ok, that is just silly. This sounds so much like the 'Why do you want privacy if you have nothing to hide?' arguments. It is very reasonable to both have a company that handle customer data responsibly AND have issues with the GDPR.

Imagine if every time you walked down the street, the police stopped you and made you prove that you hadn't murdered anyone that day. You might get get annoyed at the 10 minutes it takes to prove our innocence. If you complained about the extra time and intrusion, would a fair response be "Every complaint about this check shows you don't care about murder"

No, you can both agree with a goal of a regulation and disagree with the mechanism that they implement it. It is certainly NOT the case that 'the only thing GDPR wants from you is to handle others data with the same RESPECT as you handle yours'... they want you to DEMONSTRATE this in a particular manner. Those particulars are important, and we can disagree on them without it being some sort of moral conflict.
> One in 3 British children age 6 to 17 told pollsters last year that they wanted to become a full-time YouTuber. That’s three times as many as those who wanted to become a doctor or a nurse.

Is this supposed to be alarming? When I was that age my peers might have said NBA player or Hollywood actor but those are not any more realistic.
Well that’s the opposite of the scenario we’re talking about here, right? And I don’t think what you’re talking about is “inherently bad” either. Most deregulatory types also genuinely believe that deregulation will benefit consumers and the industry alike. If you participated in airline deregulation decades ago, and then went to go work for FedEx, whose business model was made possible by that deregulation, would that be bad? Even though deregulation massively reduced prices for consumers and helped foster the rise of near instant shipping and companies like Amazon who depend on it?
I think 88 would be a very unfortunate designation, Neo-Nazis use it as a code / abbreviation for “Heil Hitler” (8th letter twice).
Thanks for the feedback !

For the differenciation with Slack, the similarity really stops with the channels pattern. Using Slite allows you to separate use cases: Slack or equivalent to communicate instantly, Slite to write and retrieve information.

As a back story, Slack did try something similar a few years back: they built Slack posts with a similar vision in mind. But having those burried in threads and writing in a constantly ringing place defeated their purpose. From talking to our users, it seems like really few people use posts as they were intended in the first place. At the end of the day, having to organize your content and handling collaborative edition is a job for a standalone product

For the wording indeed, a teammate just mentionned the same thing on "public" wording, we'll think of a better term, "team-wide" maybe.

As for the templating option it's clearly something we're thinking about, the challenge is to make the feature simple enough.
