They may not be recording everything all the time, but you have no idea when it is recording. At least I didn't on my moto x.

I went on to the google page that lets you see a lot of data they have stored for you. I had read about it in a blog post or something, so being curious I went to check it out. I believe it is the "control your content" page in your settings. I don't want to login to google right now so I might be wrong.

It has stuff like web searches (if you have that enabled). During the year I had an android, it captured several conversations, and I only found out because they were on that data page.

None of them would have had the words "OK Google" or whatever triggers it. One of the conversations was definitely private... it with my doctor during a consult. Nothing that was recorded was actually sensitive, but the fact it happened, and I had no idea, was disturbing.
It’s been illegal for a long time, with very harsh penalties, to make false reports. Obviously that hasn’t stopped everyone from making them, but I’m not surprised that the people involved are being prosecuted and face jail time.

I would also like the police department (and other departments) to learn from their response.
Ok. I get that. Still a relative term, I guess. It is easy to make reference to Electron, because people are likely to be more keen on knowing more. If you consider other Cef implementations using Winform, WPF, Chromely is still "lightweight". And it is designed with potential to be pure cross-platform like Electron.

Reason for not liking webapps - what is that reason? Because of chromium/CEF?
Used to play starcraft 2 semi-professionally years ago (semiprofessionally meaning I took matches off of pros but wasn't consistent enough to be at the very top).

Never met TB in person, but he always conducted himself with the utmost integrity. He was willing to call companies on their bullshit, even for stuff most people didn't care about like games not having extensive settings menus, etc. Furthermore he never solicited donations; he always was "self-funded" and consistently produced quality content.

Super sad to see him go. He definitely knew it was coming (see [this extremely well written post]( https://www.reddit.com/r/cynicalbritofficial/comments/8g4eoj...) ), yet remained very levelheaded about his situation.
My solution for this was not to "look forward to the next big project", as my thinking was, but instead I looked back on my life, what were some of my best memories related to work. (there are online courses to illicit this answer, I went through Simon Sineks 'Start With Why', though you might know it anyway).

So, I picked my best memories, and they were animation related. I knew that when it came to the 'switch horses' temptation, I would be able to say, "every project gets to this stage, so why would I switch to my 2nd favorite thing, because surely that would be even harder at this phase. Sure this phase is hard, but doing my favorite thing means this is the easiest version of this phase".

It's kept me going.
yep. the 'mainland' in NZ refers to a chunk of the Sth Island - from back in the day when english migrants were busy recreating the english aristocracy.

It’s not an API just some random JSON file. It’s some random php file on a web server. I just refresh the page when I want to see the score. It’s the speed of all the other stuff on the page (videos, whatever) that makes ESPN, etc. unbearable. I just want the numbers.

That is exactly what serious security said - "in practice you need lidar and a fully mapped road". The word "presently", "today" or "with current computational limitations" are notably missing from that statement. It would at least add some ambiguity to a statement that is provably wrong.

Of course that's the case. I never said everyone does that. I said it's a no-brainer to do it.

I was only introduced to FP 6 months ago, and I'm no expert on OOP either. Functional Thinking by Neal Ford compares the two (of course it favors FP). Should be a good piece to the puzzle, though, at least worth skimming it.

My opinion is that things like purity, immutability, type checking, and other FP characteristics are incredibly helpful, and they make me write code with fewer bugs.
I expect this is the danger quote "“The climate cycles are directly related to how Earth orbits the sun and slight variations in sunlight reaching Earth lead to climate and ecological changes,” said Kent, who studies Earth’s magnetic field. “The Earth’s orbit changes from close to perfectly circular to about 5 percent elongated especially every 405,000 years.” which comes from here (https://news.rutgers.edu/earth%E2%80%99s-orbital-changes-hav...)
I wrote they both appear to be an evolution of the visor's design. Which makes me wonder why something like the iPhone's home screen could be patented in the first place. Where's the novelty?
Yeah the percentage seems a bit much considering stripe also takes a percentage.
I am not speaking of you specifically because this is about the behavior of companies and not personal projects.

There are companies, OP being one (a subsidiary of Pinterest) that have presence in the EU and are essentially playing chicken with the regulators. Blocking users but keeping their data is not compliance, nor are dialogs telling users you plan to carry on as normal. Companies do not do this with the IRS because they would be afraid of the consequences.
This is such a blatant attempt to diminish the massive effort huge numbers of very talented people put in in order to make the iPhone a reality when it became one.

And I’m not at all convinced that it was such an obvious idea given the development of multitouch. I think it only seems obvious after the fact.
Right, which means it is worth being spent. If spending is not worth it, then spending by and large dries up, resulting in a reduction of income to others, reducing the multiplier effect, and reducing the amount of actual trade that occurs. People continue to save as income opportunities dry up, and those with no income get royally screwed. With no risk taking occurring, things go back to bare essentials, which we are already very efficient at. Maintenance places are the only places which will maintain any expertise.

To be fair, I think there is already a risk of this, in any situation where capital becomes severely unequal. However, by making the monetary token itself an item of (appreciating) value, rather than only as means by which trade is mediated independently and in arbitrary small parts between multiple parties, is a sure way to speed that process up.
> isn't that how trains work everywhere?

I live in Midwest USA, and trains and busses here are routinely off schedule. More than say 60% of the time, it will be 5 to 15+ minutes late, and you'll be forced to waste that time just waiting for arrival/transfer. Also, occasionally buses arrive and depart a little bit early, so you can't just arrive on time and be safe either, you have to plan on being at least 10 minutes early to be safe.

If a scheduled departure time is 1:10PM, then a weekly list of actual departure times in the US might often look like : (Monday, 1:15PM, Tuesday, 1:18PM, Wednesday, 1:04PM, Thursday 1:22PM, Friday, 1:11PM, more or less at random). There's no reliable way to plan ahead for that, so realistically you just have to always be 10 minutes early, and expect to wait through to 20+ minutes late, just in case.

This also repeats for every single transfer you might have to make... and most trips require at least one transfer...
You seem to be presuming guilt before innocence. Most strong advocates of GDPR seem to have this attitude. Perhaps the regulators will, too.

Using that line of reasoning, Pinterest is making a very prudent decision.
Not sure if it's still made, and it's barely still a phone (it's 4mm total height away from not letting me sit down if I have it in the front pocket of a normal, male jeans), but the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro serves as a nice tall (3:4 [sic]) 80-col (exactly) terminal... In portrait mode, using JuiceSSH, but any reasonable terminal should do the trick.
As far as I know they just skipped the budget for a custom firmware, at least for the most part. It doesn't feel branded. The ToF sensor is nice, but the tracking algorithm seems borked, as it often looses registration, leading to shifting artifacts in any scan, and I have not yet found any software that allows the user to only do a very rough recontruction live, and do high quality post processing offline.
and use platinum in the fuel cells. the real-world problems are pretty obvious though - Pt is worth stealing and it's expensive 'cause there aint that much of it so you can't expect to use 100x as much as now and not expect the price to change. FC's are niche. Batteries won.

That is a component of the design patents Apple claims are being violated. They are much more specific than you appear to believe.

If it were truly as simple to show prior art as you think it is, this case would have been thrown out a decade ago.
I'm not convinced any of the apps we pay for in data really improve our lives. The price we pay in control over our identity and our information usually outweighs the benefits.

Hundreds of millions of Google and Facebook users disagree. If you ask people what Google does with the data they collect, a large percentage both incorrectly believe that they directly sell it to advertisers (rather than just using it for ad targeting) and don't have a problem with that.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I am saying that you aren't so clearly right that your preferences should be forcibly imposed on everyone.

Well, the train says it arrives at 1:11, which means that it will be there at some time past 1:11, because it will inevitably be late, caused by breakdowns or track maintenance or the weather (in Australia, if it gets too hot, the trains have to slow down).
This is a good call. And letting frustration roll off your back. If I let frustration get to me, I would have quit. If I couldn't accept 'little progress', (when the alternative was no progress), then I wouldn't have made little progress daily, and gotten to the point of almost done. This is something I've heard (perhaps mostly anecdotal), where people shift between neglect and perfectionism. Allowing moderate progress (where you're not meeting your standards for progress 100%, but you are moving forward), is actually difficult to accept, but it's usually a pretty good coarse. It's hard to be the turtle.
I've heard conflicting reports about that as well.
Software development is engineering, because like all engineering, it is using knowledge and Technology to build things that solve human problems. I say this as someone who has an Electronics engineering degree.

> Does this job posting represent a real, urgent need or are you just fishing?

Why does a "real need" have to be urgent? In my team, all important needs are covered, but we still add new people when budget is available because there's always more stuff in the backlog. Six people can usually do more than five, and 21 people can usually do more than 20. (Although 20 people do not necessarily do more than 5 because [insert comment about middle management culture] but that's not my point.)

This bullet point sounds absurd to my European ears.
Except if a company is inefficient, the founders may find a way to get what they want without waiting for that 10x to realize. I'm not sure though why the investors are seemingly OK with that.
Most online discussion sites (reddit and HN, for example) focus overwhelmingly on US politics. This is significantly less relevant for the billion-odd people who use the English language internet but do not live in the USA.
The change in orbital shape was already known as one of the Milankovitch cycles [1]. This study seems to give us the most precise measurement.

In the context of climate change, when Earth's orbit becomes more eccentric (our path over the next 200k years) seasonal changes increase in magnitude.

Very true, sorry I was a bit caught up on the original articles focus on valuing certain attributes.
Consider building your own. There's nothing stopping you.

I've heard whispers of mini PCIe 3G cards that have "unused" pins that actually offer up a USB device. That's how the USB-to-miniPCIe adapters work.

There are also ARM processors that can operate as USB hosts and run Linux or a BSD.

LiPo batteries are cheap and fun to use. The charging circuits are less fun, but there are probably ways to handle it without too much trouble.

And finally, our good friends at AliExpress or eBay have plenty of SPI-driven e-ink displays and probably a few usable digitizers, although you'll have to combine them yourself.

If you ever actually go through with building this, let me know. I looked into it once but lacked the time to ever finish.

I see a fair amount of stuff that's badly broken.

- Analytics.twitter.com numbers changing unexpectedly, being zeroed out temporarily, inconsistent numbers

- Deleting tweets and having them not show up on my timeline but still show up in search weeks later.

- The repeating timeline bug, you're going down the timeline and after a while it loses its place and repeats tweets you saw a couple of minutes ago

- People who have blocked me (gah) but I still see their tweets in certain apps.

tbh I see some strange stuff on Facebook and Reddit sometimes and granted it's hard to do what they do at scale. But Facebook and Google products seem to evolve a lot more over the years.
Sure, action creators are "unnecessary" - you can always declare action objects and action types directly inline:

this.props.dispatch({type : "INCREMENT"});

Nothing's ever _forced_ you to use action creators, or declare your type constants separately.

However, we encourage use of action creators as a good practice. See my blog post "Idiomatic Redux: Why Use Action Creators?" [0] for some reasons, as well as the related Redux FAQ entry [1].

The multitude of train companies is further complicated that some companies have through service on each other tracks. Do you will be waiting on a Toei Asakusa Line plateform when a train from the KeiKyuu company shows up. The map inside the train does not have the station you just departed from on it much lest your destination. Good luck!

I enjoy figuring out how their system works so it does not bother me. But I tell people who go there for the first time to stick with JR and maybe Tokyo Metro, as the lines a tourist would typically use have simple schedules and all the stops are color-coded and numbered.

I've been rereading this article for days. Thanks so much for taking the time to share the sorts of insights that rarely see light.

My company is looking into our options as to what sort of structure would be best. We've considered being a worker-owned cooperative, a B Corporation, an a non-profit. We have the same goals of developing the best products we can an never selling out.

I wonder if you had any insight or suggestions on where to learn more about these options and the consequences. What do non-profits offer to funders? Everybody wants equity.

This is painting the devil on the wall.

First, out of all risks you face in life, "multiple armed or unarmed assailants who wish to do me grievous bodily harm" is not really the one that you should be worrying about.

Second, how would a handgun help you take on assailants armed with automatic weapons? So then you need an automatic weapon? But how will an automatic weapon help you take on assailants armed with hand grenades and RPGs? So then you need hand grenades and RPGS? Tanks? Fighter jets? Nuclear weapons? Your reasoning can be taken arbitrarily far.

Do you take the same approach to all other, very unlikely, risks that you face in life?
But it is a part of Australia, at least as far as the Australian Constitution is concerned -- check out section 6:

Design is a tradecraft like any other. It involves research, experience, skill, trial and error, time, and resources. Unfortunately, once a design is out there, it takes 5% of this initial effort to duplicate wholesale.

What you are saying is tantamount to asserting that this work should have little to no protection, and be freely copyable once a design is made public.
Something that is kind of helping me is this: ( I apply it to cleaning my house too )

I can't force myself to work on the project
I say to myself, "You don't have to work on the project, but you can't do anything else. You can either sit here and do nothing, or work on the project"

For some reason this works for me. My inner self is so fed up with being told what to do, it doesn't work, it rebels, but if I limit it, and let it drive forward, it tends to work a bit better.

There also might be a factor with eliminating all distractions, setting the rule of "you can't do anything else".

As for #3, I have the same, and I did a project I truly believed in; I truly believe if more people did more animation, they'd be happier. So, it's not really selling, it's just telling people how I actually feel about animation.

#2 I accept the possibility. If it flops, well, I will have to do some actions to change that. Maybe I change the product, maybe I start calling people on the phone. A flop is a place, not a destination, I can move away from a flop, without failing, taking the product with me.

This is a html desktop app framework built on chromium/Cef. The front end (rendering process) is in HTML/CSS/js. The "backend" if you may, or the "browser" is in .NET C#.

You still need both pair of HTML/CSS/js and C# to develop an app.

However, you can use any frontend Javascript frameworks like Angular, React that may require transpiling.
