How do Makita batteries stack up against other manufacturers? Mostly I've bought into the Milwaukee 18 volt system (M18 Fuel)- I can run a drill or impact driver for days on one charge. Conversely, I've got a cheap Ryobi set that drains almost instantly.

But even if you need a drone every 5km (you don't). That's all of 400 drones, 800 if you want to have pairs doing charge-work duty. For an 2000km border guarding operation, that's really not much. An order of magnitude or two cheaper than the fence they would guard.

I think you're justifying a really extreme reaction based on the worst behavior of a few companies. GDPR doesn't just go after data-resellers. It targets how a well-intended company can use and keep your data even with no third party involved.

Laws that mess up the good-guys lives are bad laws. GDPR is from the same folks who thought a law that lead to pestering users about cookies was a good idea.

The commenter is responsible for the disconnect in their hyperbole as far as I'm concerned. America has a mix of systems including Medicare and Medicaid which are actually very similar to the systems we have in Australia. I just got out of hospital recently and didn't have to pay a cent, and at that moment I was really glad for the system we have in some ways, even if it doesn't totally gel with my professed ideology.

However if I were earning any kind of money at all, I would have paid out the nose for it, with some small help from the Government. The system here is actually very similar to what the American system would be if it functioned better. Medicare subsidises but doesn't eliminate costs for many low-income people, you pay for private insurance if you have money or else you get a big fat tax which is worse than any insurance fees. The Australian system is definitely nicer if you are absolutely dirt poor (by Western Standards) like me, but otherwise it's pretty much a correctly functioning version of what the American system aims for, ideologically and conceptually it actually doesn't differ much. I'm not sure why ours seems to work so much better.
With bcache one would have a write-back cache, so it would speed up writes as well (which would be superior to L2ARC).

Comparable to the L2ARC would be adding the NVMe as swap and then increasing the mysql buffer cache to 400GB or something (don't know if that would work without issues, though). With zswap that would even have compression.
This story seems to be suggesting that if the universe was a training program for a superbeing then we would be more incented to be moral. But as far as I know the universe isn't a training program for a superbeing, so I'm not sure what the moral is supposed to be. It's like an anti-allegory.
I worked as a graduate assistant on a project administering a survey on tablets in challenging conditions. Your points are valid, but we found that we could create a streamlined Enketo (https://enketo.org/) form with categorical, quantitative, and Likert scale questions (minimal and optional free text fields) and the enumerator teams were successful. We ended up using Kobo Toolbox, mentioned in another comment, which mates Enketo as a front-end to the ODK set of tools. Running pilot tests and timing the input of each answer of the survey helped to dramatically streamline it, so that seems essential for using digital tools.

Two major perks to using the ODK type tools - many folk have smartphones with browsers on them, so running ODKCollect or especially Enketo is accessible, and the logged data gets pushed up to a server as soon as possible. The latter point was really useful for us - I spun up a quick app in Shiny (https://www.shinyapps.io/) which would give some plots based on the data collected so-far, and after the first day or two the survey administrators found a hiccup in how one of the enumerators was answering a question (they were incorrectly tagging the locations they were visiting, which would have caused havoc to relabel later!) I think that sold a lot of us on the value of these tools.

Totally agree about XForms. Shame it's not more widely used. I did get a lot of mileage out of using XLSForm (http://xlsform.org/) to write the survey first though.
>> As did Asian imperialism. Look at Japan just about 70-years ago.

2 wrongs don't make 1 right.

>> No one can deny, Asians and Arabs robbed other nations of their prosperity.

Scale vastly differs. You should be checking how much Europe extracted out of Asia/Africa before bringing Japan into the discussion.

I bet most Europeans are not taught about Europeans atrocities committed in Africa/Asia at school. That's why you are not able to even perceive scale of exploitation correctly. Europeans killed 4 million people deliberately engineering famine in South Asia. Pretty, sure they've removed these things out of their textbooks but feel free to do your own research. These things are less than 100 years old.

Yes, Japan/Europe are both rich today so are those Arab nations too.

What about the countries who they robbed?

Yeah I'm not sure. The presence of homeless people seems to be far more a function of how aggressive the government is at removing them than anything else. Melbourne is absolutely packed with homeless, but Sydney far less so, and I have a feeling it's not because of Sydney's cheap rent[0] or a lack of broken homes in the city. I suspect such a business oriented, conservative city is just more tough on its homeless.

American coffee drinking habits are a disgust for every average European - at least to me. Coffee is so terribly thin that you berly get the taste.

Very true. But deep work does not address the din of "Am I learning the right thing? The right way?", as well as "If I ask a question on a forum am I going to get assaulted and insulted?"

Fear is the opposite of learning. Fear will also demotivate. While it's true that we all have access to extreme amounts of information, and that deep learning is a great hack, there is still fear. How can that be mitigated?
As an Australian, I expected to find great coffee in Europe.

There's no plausible path for market forces to apply pressure on something like this. There are many other factors that are more obvious to people choosing a smartphone - screen size, storage size, price, familiarity, and so on. And you basically have two platforms to choose from: Android and iOS.

GDPR provides a timely example. The potential fines for companies storing private data and not complying are 'hitting them in their wallet' in a way that the choices of individual users can't.

The EU parliament is democratically elected. It reflects the preferences of the majority of people, even if perhaps not perfectly. The other EU bodies are composed of people selected by national governments that are, again, democratically elected.

So the only possible argument similar to what you are saying is that in the time since the last set of elections, the population changed its preference and it's not yet reflected in the parliaments.

>I assure you the majority would rather have free services than self righteous lack there of.

It's not free if they sell your data.

I just changed jobs and they gave me a late model MBP connected to an external 4k display. The lag is palpable, on almost any action. ALT-Tab between windows takes many hundreds of milliseconds. Typing in the terminal is so slow I often times have to go back and correct my commands because I over typed them.

I thought it was just a combination of low-end MBP (cheapest 13" available) and crappy 4K monitor (Sceptre U274K). Are you saying that there is an actual problem with macOS High Sierra that is causing my lag? I've already changed DP cables and that didn't help at all. :(

Former yacht pro here, been employed as a first mate by Russian minigarch (I am Russian too). Working on a yacht is indeed dangerous and all safety precautions must be taken. All cases described in an article are examples of deadly negligence: one should wear life west when operating tender boat after sunset, one should use additional harness line while hanging on significant height, and one definitely should not try to jump on a boat from pier after drunk night (did it once on my vacation, was centimeters from poor chap's fate, lesson learned).

I don't see, however, how's boat owners are responsible for this except hiring slightly wrong people to manage and command their expensive property.

Firstly, that list is useless because you're comparing wildly different definitions of "homeless". The US was counting

> The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released its annual Point in Time count Wednesday, a report that showed nearly 554,000 homeless people across the country during local tallies conducted in January. That figure is up nearly 1 percent from 2016.

> Of that total, 193,000 people had no access to nightly shelter and instead were staying in vehicles, tents, the streets and other places considered uninhabitable. The unsheltered figure is up by more than 9 percent compared to two years ago.

While the UK was counting

> The study, by housing charity Shelter, found that 307,000, or one in every 200, people are now either sleeping rough or in temporary accommodation.

Temporary accommodation includes bed&breakfast, staying with friends, emergency shelters. There are about 5000 people sleeping rough in the UK at the moment in a population of about 60million.

And then look at the countries who have worse homelessness than the US.

Nigeria, South Africa, Russia, Indonesia, China, Haiti, Venezuela, India, Zimbabwe, Honduras, Ukraine.

Fwiw I prefer Mike Tyson's:

My first experience with the programming was on a Commodore Vic-20. I vividly remember the users manual, which explained how to use the computer through simple BASIC programs. I still find amazing that in those times computer manuals also were programming manuals! When I moved to IBM PCs, I turned to Turbo Pascal and to a more structured way of programming. But the simplicity of Commodore Basic still holds a special place in my hearth.

Solved problem.or not even a problem. There's plenty of water on earth. The only question is if it is drinkable. And at what cost. These are elementary problems solved by simply applying property rights, stuff we have done for millennia for things like grazing land etc( read up Elinor Ostrom). Not a hard engineering problem. You lament is equivalent to someone at his almost empty fridge on a Friday evening and panicking that the world is almost running out of food supply. That's not how things work

Wealth inequality in itself should never be the only goal. My parents grew up in China in the 60s, and to them wealth equality doesn't mean everyone is rich, it means everyone was equally poor.

Too often than not that's the form of wealth equality we see. So we need to keep low wealth equality while give enough incentives to people to raise the total wealth of the society, and that is a much harder problem to solve .

Excellent article on anti-jamming:

http://gpsworld.com/anti-jam-technology-demystifying-the-crp...

> CRPAs work by exploiting spatial diversity; that is, making use of the fact that the desired satellite signals, and the unwanted jamming signals, generally arrive from different directions. In simple terms, you create a spatial filter, one that removes signals that arrive from particular directions, whilst letting through signals from other directions. To achieve this, rather than use a single antenna, we use an array of antenna elements.
You can shoot at drones with impunity, unlike people that you have to feed, house, process and eventually extradict if that's even possible.

Unfortunately, not all us are the masters of our own universe of deadlines. Too often they're semi arbitrary, set by someone who's not aware of the intricacies, etc.

Regarding the first part of your comment; there are perfectly legit reasons you might not want your full contact details published on a database accessible to the wider public. Just think of political dissidents in other countries or people at risk of being doxxed for various reasons or simply not wanting that information to be public at all.

Regarding the second part, it's not viable to "make new and better". There is new and maybe better but nobody is using it. The ICANN has a quasi-monopoly on governing the DNS registration rules on the internet. It's like saying that if we don't like Facebook we should switch to Diaspora. As much as I'd like to, Diaspora doesn't have the network of Facebook or the reach which is an immediate nogo for a lot of people. Not recognizing that is simply ignoring the reality of many people's lives.
Probably fine and less vulnerable in situations like simply trying to get a few km over a wall on flat ground. Far more complicated over terrain and trying to fly low.

Don't get me wrong but the issue is the monopolistic market. I trust my Internet provider and have no issue with their ToS (which I read) however I can choose from 10+ providers.

I also quote the Facebook TOS when people wonder why I am not there. Or pay more for my emailing to not have to deal with mailchimps ToS.

IMO there is a market for more privacy oriented people. And some companies know and use that fact.

Yes. That's the opinion of most everyone, including KitWare, it appears.

All of this is frankly a language defect. If working on build and packaging problems seems like a waste of time, then C and C++ are not good choices for you. Otherwise, dealing with all this is a job requirement, at least for senior engineers.

C++ is working on modules. Solving these problems seems to be downstream of that. I wouldn't count on de facto standard packaging tools for another decade. And there's a good chance that there will be forum threads about how annoying those tools are.
True. There should be a hard cap on the amount of pollution (carbon emissions, etc.) that an individual may generate each year, wealth notwithstanding. Of course, this would be almost impossible to enforce and trivial to circumvent :(

I know someone who used to read most Ts&Cs when signing up for services. It wasn't so much about the possibility of declining, but more about knowing what you're getting into. There's also an argument that if you make yourself do this, you end up with fewer accounts that you don't really need.

Even if you do try to read them, they're generally written in vague legalese that I assume means "we can do whatever we like, and you have no right to complain". And if they haven't allowed something they later want to do, you'll get an email saying that they're "clarifying" their terms and conditions, and if you don't like it, you can stop using the service.

You do the dirty work of contacting people in that industry, asking questions about their problems, and listening (without pitching your product)

That might involve a lot of cold emails, Linkedin Inmails, Skype calls, coffee meetups, stalking in conferences, joining relevant meetups, listening in on online forums, tweeting people who tweeted about that problem, etc.

Then you might a friendly group of 3-4 people who might give you friendly feedback as you develop the product. Keep talking with them. Keep iterating.
