The most attractive thing about flutter (compared to some other crossplat mobile UI frameworks) is the efficient underlying UI framework, so I'm sure if it starts to fail because of Dart they'll be able to eject that coupling and pivot fairly quickly and become more like the competition. However if it succeeds in spite of it's reliance on Dart, then they'll have maybe untarnished its perception a bit.
Cold calling is not for me. I hate even answering email or inbound communication.

One thing I've realized working on my own is that you can do anything you want. You don't have to do the thing you hate the most to make progress. It will feel draining, feel like more work, and be less productive than focusing on where you are strong.
Ok, but do people have a right to remember, too? If you murdered my daughter 30 years ago, I have a right to keep telling people about what happened, including about the person who did it. I shouldn't be censored from talking about what happened to me, just because the person who killed my child wants to forget about it.
That's true to an extent, but if you had 16000 lumens previously, using about 1000W, you probably don't _want_ ~100,000 lumens now, just because it uses the same amount of power. That's far too much light.

Key to making data science work in corporate is Management vision and literacy in this area. Most F500 type companies have massive gap and blindness about this point. They think an " accenture" or "Deloitte" can be hired to provide the services which is pathetic. DS and data driven decision making is a culture, mindset, a way of work.

Yes, this puzzles me too. Maybe the fact that you can redefine both the methods of `foo` and the function `Foo` at any time? And you can also change `foo.prototype`, I guess?
They mined ~1.1 million coins in the early days, and apparently / supposedly agreed to split them in some manner. That's all there is to the story up to now, there's still no significant evidence of Wright being Satoshi. His very poor attempt at previously claiming it, combined with what very much looks like Kleiman's estate being ripped off, rather points in the con-man direction as someone else said.
Here are approaches I use:

a) Make changes in the minified source to understand the problem, then go make changes in the original; or:

b)
git clone dependency.git

cd dependency

yarn

yarn link

cd project

yarn link dependency

make changes in dependency

yarn run build

test my app

repeat until fixed

clean up, commit, and PR

I prefer B, but I'll do A first if the build step is annoying or slow.
I already use Advanced Mode, but uBO makes no distinction between blocking scripts and cookies, XHR requests, and Media elements. uMatrix does make this distinction, so I'm led to believe uBO doesn't block them at all. That's necessary for me.
I sometimes wonder what fully-honest Scrum would look like.

I mean... 3 points: dealing with ticketing system. 5 points: looking into bugs/issues which will become new tickets. 5 points: taking questions and talking process on other people's tickets.

The list goes on. I like agile, and I don't hate Scrum, but it's unpleasantly easy to end up running a planning/scheduling process which is completely distinct from one's actual schedule.
I wish I could activate it once to see all the previous photos of me that aren't tagged, then turn it off so it doesn't do it in the background. Not that its any safer, but it would make me feel better about it.

There are still a good number of public NZB indexers out there. The vast majority put hard limits on the number of NZBs you can grab as a free user however.

But even if what you're saying were true, wouldn't the same apply to private torrent trackers? As far as I know, even when a popular private tracker is taken down, authorities only pursue operators and heavy content uploaders.
No, it's just one person filing a lawsuit assuming that to be the case.

This is priceless. Imagine Wright truly is a fraud. Then he's now being sued by another fraud, and he might have to settle a law suit with real money to avoid the risk of being exposed as a fraud.

> They were fluorescent and took awhile to brighten up, so of course this meant that one would enter a darkened room, turn them on, and then slowly get some light. Was it a huge deal? No. Did it make our lives worse than just leaving the lights on? Yes.

LEDs don't do this. At absolute worst, you'll have a fraction of a second before they light up at all, but once they light up, they light up immediately.
It's of course true that it's dogmatic in the strictest sense, but it has a massive advantage that it's actually been shown pretty conclusively that it works. That's a high bar.

You're conflating Wall Street and public companies with capitalism. Thousands of small businesses provide excellent livelihoods for their owners with predictable stable income as you suggest. Until the media started harping about VC and the "tech boom" in 2001, most businesses were started with the specific goal you mention.

Stable profits in boring domains isn't sexy though, which is why you don't hear that narrative very often.

They're testing in California. I.e. flat-ish, wide roads, relatively nice weather. Sure, it's ideal for baby steps, but passing this off as "look at our safety record, therefore it's safe anywhere" is disingenuous at the very least.
They certainly _were_ expensive, but these days reasonable quality LEDs seem to be a similar price to reasonable quality incandescents. You can still get very cheap incandescents for less than any LED, but you probably don't want them; they won't last.

The general equation for an increased quantity from A to B is

increase = B - A

So a percentage increase is

increase * 100

not

(increase + A) * 100
Former neuroscientist here. Umm, your link actually criticizes the study that didn't replicate the original findings in its final paragraph.

I'm inclined to believe their results were due to:

1) The corpus callosum is the dominant interhemispheric tract, but not the only one. Secondary tracts may have been recruited/enhanced to share info, especially given that they've had decades since their surgery.

2) This fits with the progression of callosotomies, (and brain injuries in general), where deficits are most acute right after surgery, and tend to diminish over time. In fact the Nature article's example addresses this; the patient only experienced split-brain behavior for about a year.
It does make some sense to ask a person "can you use this sword?"

Does it really? I mean, if we're talking about an actual person then sure, since a person can think about the problem and come up with a creative answer. But the object representing a person in a game? That would imply that the "person" object must know all about swords and the requirements for using each of them. How is that better than requiring the "sword" object to know about people and their capabilities?

Swords have attributes (e.g. weight). People have attributes (e.g. strength). Whether a particular person can wield a particular sword is not a question either a sword or a person can answer without introducing unnatural dependencies. It is a property of the environment in which the player and sword both exist, and IMHO is best modelled as some form of external "rule" object, or via a multiple-dispatch method (if your language supports that paradigm).
True, there is nothing stopping them from running this in the background to make additional linkages between people and places to sell to third parties without having to share where those linkages come from.

Cold calling is an extremely effective strategy for us. Most important lesson I learned building our SDR program is that nobody natively likes cold calling so to do it well, it needs to be their only job.

When I had account managers that had to do their own cold calling they greatly underperformed. When I had someone whose only job was to cold call and book demos which were then closed by account managers one person was getting more meetings than all my account managers combined.

Some people don’t like getting cold calls, I personally don’t mind and the number of people that don’t mind statistically out number the ones who do. We have tons of data to support this. I highly recommend evaluating this as a strategy in any B2B customer acquisition program.

"Tested on people," quite literally.
- Data centers are ridiculously efficient. The latest generation of data centers from the big cloud providers have PUE in 1.07 territory, which would've seemed like pie-in-the-sky ludicrousness even 10 years ago. Every CPU cycle that's done in a data center instead of on someone's client machine or on-prem server is a decrease in power consumption.

- 3D printers don't use very much power, and in any case, while 3D printing is going to be an ever-bigger deal in manufacturing, the 3D printing at home fad has already crested and is fading away, like 3D televisions. There's not going to be one in every home.

- Electric cars will indeed increase power consumption, but mainly when they are plugged in for the night, where there is already a lot of wasted power from e.g. nuclear plants that can't scale down at night. The total increase in necessary generating capacity and infrastructure upgrades won't be as big as you think.
Still - It can be annoying. Maybe there could be an option to exclude articles with specific text/link ratios?
Commercial and domestic electronics are also getting a lot less expensive to run, though. An office full of computers uses far less power to run the computers these days than 20 years ago. Of course, it also takes much less power to light it, and likely also to heat and cool it (there've been substantial improvements in HVAC).
The death knell for the cable companies will be when something challenges their virtual monopoly in high speed Internet.

Considering that younger people tend to watch sports in a different manner than previous generations (more smartphone / social media oriented, according to this study -- https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/media-and-entertainment/...) I suspect that even sports is not going to be a saving grace for traditional cable.

With 5G coming up and the possible promise of WISPs, fiber, satellite, or other technologies people are exploring to bring fast broadband outside cable, that death knell might be sooner than later.

For power, utilities are heavily regulated by the state, which might mitigate some of this "death spiral" to some extent. But, yeah, they do have that same issue of cable companies of being heavily invested in a legacy hardware network.

That being said, one counter example that comes to mind is the old copper-wire analog phone systems. In the US, most of the old Ma Bell monopoly transitioned to a more mobile oriented business (Verizon or AT&T) over time. Landlines have been on the decline for the last couple decades, but my impression is that the telephone companies were able to adapt instead of getting caught out for the most part, or trying to play legislative-bully against mobile.

In contrast, the cable companies (my impression again) seem to be resisting technological trends and trying to use legislative strong-arming to sustain their business model, rather than reforming (their legal fights against muni broadband being a good example here). I do not see this as working long-term, at all.

Unfortunately my impression is that the power companies are more comfortable emulating the cable companies (fighting to make solar power less viable to consumers for instance) instead of transitioning business models gracefully...

"Less than four cents of every dollar of U.S. consumer spending went to gasoline, electricity and natural gas last year" [it was 50% higher in 1960; 100% higher in 1980; it's essentially the lowest cost levels in 60 plus years]

"negligence" means, "choosing inaction when you _should have_ acted. It's a kind of choice. There is a bias that weights action more heavily than inaction, but that bias isn't 1:0, and that bias isn't supported by the authority of moral philosophical consensus

Not my particular area of expertise, but you can probably go after everyone involved:

Operators and owners--negligence for using car without a driver, strict liability for ultra-hazardous activity

Manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and anyone who makes products available--are liable under products liability for any manufacturing defect, design defect, or failure to warn of dangers.

Potential criminal penalties for anyone involved (including engineers) if they put out cars knowing they aren't ready yet) or fake results, etc.

One thing that keeps most car accidents from going into full scale massive litigation is that the drivers causing the accidents are usually not worth that much money.

But if I'm a plaintiff lawyer and my client got killed by a Google car? I'm not asking for the 500k dollars the insurance coverage provides. I'm asking for big numbers because juries are going to make Google pay for each death.

3. Browsers allow it to happen

Hrm, Gateway you kinda need to read the first one at least. It lays out his universe of humans discovering an alien transport system with no instructions, and IMHO the novelty of that is the best part. In later books, they stumble around a little before (no big spoiler) getting a bunch of answers about the builders and finding them.
I didn't mean that it's equal to having `class A {...}`. What I said is that you can export a type and a function with the same name, which is as convenient as importing a class, which is also both a type and a constructor function (edit: with prototype).

By "constructor function" I meant a function that constructs an object with a given shape, not a "class instance" or prototyped object. Sorry about not being clear. So no `instanceof`, but you are guaranteed to get correct type checking.

See here [1] for example, if you hover `a` it will tell you it is an `A` not a `{a:string}`.

[1]: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/#src=type%20MapToProps%3...
The class system is a bit hit and miss. In practice you will be fine if you're using classes and you will be fine if you use prototypes but you should avoid mixing them directly.

Strictly speaking, there is no essential difference because it's entirely possible to implement classical inheritance using prototypal inheritance -- just not the other way around.

There's no classical equivalent of this, for example:

foo = {hello: "world"};
bar = Object.create(foo);
console.log(bar.hello); // "world"

Note how bar has no "hello" property, so the property is looked up on its prototype, foo.

Your code uses the "new" keyword. That keyword is pretty much emulating classical behaviour on top of the prototypal inheritance. The following two examples are equivalent:

foo = new Foo(1, 2, 3);

and

foo = Object.create(Foo.prototype);
Foo.call(foo, 1, 2, 3);

Every function implicitly has a "prototype" property which is set to an object with a "constructor" property set to the function itself.

Object.create creates a new object and sets its prototype (the internal [[Prototype]] property, not the "prototype" property on the function) to its argument.

There's a bit more going on underneath (mostly to allow certain optimisations) but conceptually even the "new" keyword is just syntactic sugar.
> A major problem with any state machine is that they tend to fall apart or become major bottlenecks if concurrency is required...

One of the classic ways of architectural a concurrent system is as a collection of sequential processes implementing message processing loops as state machines.

If you mean that state machines can't deal with internal concurrency, that's not true either. Leaving out concerns about unmanaged state (mutable data not reflected in the state of the machine), a state machine provides a clear framework for managing concurrency:

(1) an unlimited number of events that produce self-transitions can be processed simultaneously;

(2) an event that would be processed the same in the start and end states of all currently running events and whose end state would not alter the processing of any currently running event can be processed concurrently,

(3) an event that would not be valid in the end state of any currently running event is invalid,

(4) any other event cannot be run concurrently, blocks new events entering processing, and must be evaluated for validity after each running event completes (it may become either runnable or invalid).

The last is a kind of bottleneck, but it's usually not introduced by the state machine so much as a feature of the domain.
More than a decade ago Mark Zuckerberg said that anyone who gave him a photo of themselves was a "dumb fuck". His entire plan this whole time has been to do exactly this kind of thing (edit: because he thinks it is profit-maximizing), and he thinks you're a dumb fuck (just like me) for uploading your photo to let him use in the maximum-scary-surveillance way.

We should all just get off Facebook. The problem is that you can't leave even after you "delete" your account, and they have your photos tagged and matched to your email even if you never signed up anyway since all your "dumb fuck" friends gave Mark Zuckerberg their email passwords too - so even if you never sign up, your friends already ratted you out and gave up your email and photos anyway.
Seeing the age of this comment when I came to the thread and it being at the top I kinda brushed it off and scrolled on to the rest of the comments.

It literally looks like astroturffing against dart as a language.

I think this awesome that, even though dart is seeing low adoption, Google is pushing forward and building flutter. The framework and language look like they have a lot of good technical reasons of existing, chief amongst which is native AOT compilation.

Best of luck to the team!
> Fuchsia is developed in Dart.

I don't believe that's strictly true. Different parts of Fuchsia use different technologies. Flutter is (as far as I remember) the only UI framework for Fuchsia right now, so UI on Fuchsia is written in it (which uses Dart).
