It might not be that stupid.

Consider this - drownings are big news events and it's plausible to think that each child drowning death is reported because people are sensitive to the story. It doesn't take many stories for people to detect/perceive a change in the trend if the base trend was roughly 0. It doesn't take many refugees drowning for people to notice more drownings and the trend in who's drowning.

I don't know how to find the data but maybe someone else doe s- lets look at drowning data in the country by year by the victim's nation of origin.
So we are going to ignore the slow 3g network aspect in the quote you are referring to then. Sigh.
I have been leaning toward news that doesn’t read you back (print newspapers). It is actually amazing how less inflammatory and clickbaity the paper is, even from the same news organizations.

Another obvious thing to keep in mind, look at the ads or the embedded ads to understand your fellow readers. E.g. is there outbrain/taboola stuff at the bottom, or ads for something a thoughtful person would be interested in?
I have no idea why you think ISPs would do something like that. American ISPs are anti-consumer to the hilt. They've been caught numerous times INJECTING ads into unencrypted http connections. Ads cause ISPs no issue whatsoever. Why would they block ads?

Also, Firefox has excellent extension support for browser-level adblocking. No ISPs I'm aware of do any kind of adblocking. If there is no ISP adblocking around, how on earth could DNS-over-HTTPS be a anti-adblocking move?!

I have no idea how you managed to convince yourself that ISPs are anti-ad pro-consumer crusaders while Mozilla are some kind of evil corporation trying to thwart their efforts. The reality is the exact opposite.
But it should be applied equally, not just at whim.
I've played with Nim, I think it's great and deserves more attention. Especially in the scientific computing and gamedev communities.

It has Python-like terseness, static typing, and simple C interop.
The only way you get only 12% installation share on Oreo is if you're targeting Indian continent with Hindi localisation.

For a western world targeted app, the stats are around 35-40% for Oreo right now. So you seem to be deliberately ignoring your own installation stats just to complain - the dashboard you're posted is pretty much not relevant for anyone but multi-million installation apps like Facebook.
In other words, if you ignore Oreo users, you're ignoring more (wealthy) people than there are owners of iPhone X.

Also I simply fail to see how releases are dividing the market, considering the fact that for most apps new releases don't really require nearly as much maintenance as they do for new iOS releses. Granted, Oreo and P require a bit of work for apps that run in the background, but vast majority of the apps will just work if they implemented proper privacy respecting permissions since the release of 6.0 in 2015.

Just to be clear - I don't mind if you give up Android development (good riddance actually, way too much toxic people in the community), but PLEASE do not spread misinformation.
The description is vague. Cloudflare offers customers a certificate from its private CA which can secure connections from Cloudflare to your systems without you needing a publicly trusted cert. This secures the other half of the circuit successfully if you take that route. Arguably in this limited role it's more secure since there's no third party.
> Not too many people have an extra 40 amps of capacity kicking around

Not even EV owners. That's overkill.
What are you upgrading? Usually it's just a matter of changing a couple numbers in the Gradle file. The only headache with new SDKs are if you're trying to integrate new features that aren't in appcompat but even then it's straight forward to support.
You have no idea how creative people get when faced with minor nuisances. I've seen devs/admins go to great lengths to avoid doing more than one 2FA per day.
Why does this matter? What apis are you using that are not available in Lollipop, which has 88%+ market share.

Also, those dashboards are misleading. For the North American market the proportion of older phones is less than half of what the dashboard displays
The technology exists now? How do I ensure my kid has an IQ of 200 today?
For app developers, the API level (which is 28 for Android 9.0 / Pie) is significantly more relevant, since it determines API breakages, behaviour changes and backwards compatibility.

Well, with free/negative electricity you can mine cryptocurrencies with outdated gear, no need to invest into the latest ASICs. It's free money, just not much of it.
Of course, and if you're delivering work and that's working out all well for you, then great. And it appears that you can go that route instead on UpWork, agree on milestones, and no tracking required.

But, if like many people you are getting burned by non-payment, then turning this feature on seems like a pretty good route to go for stability in your wallet.
Why does that not affect other CEOs? I don't see Jeff Bezos complaining about being a public company.
For any kind of app targeting westen world (meaning - it's not localised into Hindi, African and Chinese languages), the market share of Lollipop will be below 20%.

According to most app stats I've seen (mine and others), Android 6.0+ is pretty much on 80%+, with Oreo nearing 40% since Samsung started rollouts.
With a drone, what's the point being 1000m away ? You can put a few grams of explosive on a $30 nano-drone and detonate it right on the chest/head of your target. The “Slaughterbots”[1] video gives a good idea of what it could look like.

Yeah, we can have a pump. And a gas pipe.

But they do not make fuel. Did you forget the massive underground fuel tank though? Or even worse, gasoline pipes?

We just need a 220v outlet. That's it. The charging station is welcome but EV owners already carry their own (not all support 220v but that's an easy fix)
Copyright infringement isn't theft: it's copyright infringement.
The latest-gen XPS 13 comes preloaded with ubuntu and works really well.
TOS should be precise and applied uniformly, but that's not what usually happens. Instead, TOS are intentionally vague so they can be applied selectively according to a company's whims, which are often politically motivated.
> to grant a given amount (let say 50$) per month to each employee

Let's make that amount dependent on the employee's salary. Not 50$ per employee per month, but e.g. salary for 1 hour per employee per month. Salaries vary a lot between countries (and even within countries).
My 2013 retina mbpro couldn't run Linux successfully including Ubuntu. It's somewhat supported. Except for the trackpad (which you can sort of get working, just not well), dual graphics switching (and therefore decent battery life), crap external monitor support, and the random crashes. After this last one, I just gave up and I realized I was blaming Linux when in reality it was my fault for using unsupported hardware and trying to run Linux on it. Hadn't had such an unreliable system since the old windows days and that's after days and days of setting it up, trying different distros, etc.

Parent said hybrid.
It's basically a SASS eCommerce app. Kind of an enterprise class OLTP solution, but with pretty unusual traffic bursts and due to what we're selling very high DB contention. We test with 100,000 concurrent users, have achieved about 10,000 orders per minute--much more than our credit card gateway (Stripe) will allow us to process. There are some rough edges here and there, but I've experienced just as bad and sometimes worse with AWS.

China trade war pulls consumer tech into crossfire
I happen to agree with you, but it’s not our opinion that determines the law, it’s the Supreme Court’s. And they have clearly and consistently held that obscenity is not protected by the first amendment, for the lifetime of the Republic.
My argument is more that forcing tech companies to invest in distributed data ownership tech would push that forward in a way that would enable more competition of services because your data would be portable, not locked into vendors like it is now.

In the short term it might result in less variety, but only until the tech proliferated and reached maturity. Then services could simply spin up on top of the data that you already host yourself. So you would have to take on the responsibility of finding a good way to host the data you want available (probably from your phone), but after that you would be able to use any service willing to operate on your data, but your data would be in public standards, not proprietary storage inside a facebook/google/amazon data center.

I think that gas going back down to two-something a gallon again after that period a few years ago where we started getting used to it pushing four bucks, combined with increased fuel efficiency of newer ICE vehicles, and the price premium of hybrids explains a lot of it away.
Accounting for installation numbers only, there are about 6 Android users for each iOS user in the world. So targeting API 25 (Nougat 7.1) already gives you access to a bigger number of users. Targeting earlier API versions only increases that number.
You are a profound liar and intentionally ideologically blind. And to matters worse, you have billion dollar companies happy to execute your political revenge fantasies.

It's only a matter of time before this comment gets downvoted and Dang comes by to give a stern lecture about "rules" because I didn't take the right amount of lithium to temper my tone before addressing your slimebag evasion of rampant multi-platform shadowbanning of anyone who doesn't have DNC memorabillia tattooed to their incompetant brain.

When this is over, and it will be over, you will be surrounded by no friends, no bots, no political operatives, and no support while teeth-bearing opposition descends upon you, grinning and drooling.

Silicon Valley's extremely illegal ties with China will be exposed because of this deplatforming crusade and heads will roll. Literally.
It's actually liquid sodium in newer designs, which retains heat well, is stored in an insulated tank, and can generate power using that heat even after the sun goes down. So no, I don't think they're obsolete.

They certainly got the power, they are not a cake shop that you can bully in court, that's for sure. It seems like they can ban service and decide their own "terms of use", even though it is clear that nobody is going to think that they support their users content. But someone who doesn't want to make a cake for a gay wedding, which is not even a judgment about the people but rather that he doesn't want to participate in something he opposed religiously, this is not allowed by the courts. It is clear there are two laws in America, one for lefties and one for right wing people and it is very sad.
> So many services controlled by private companies that can choose to not do business with someone.

That discrimination is not based on intrinsic qualities, though. You can't discriminate on skin color, sexual orientation, etc. because society-at-large has decided those are qualities that you're born with.

But it's perfectly within everyone's right to discriminate against assholes, if that's what they judge you to be.

You can try to change their minds, but there is no right or law that forces them to listen.

Furthermore, a person can't change their genetics. But they can change their attitude, personality, etc. so those are not intrinsic qualities.
Python is a great first language for the use cases you mentioned! We have great popular frameworks for web apps such as Django and Flask; and data analysis tools and frameworks like Pandas, NumPy, and Airflow, amongst many others.
This works well when you have a lot of sun. Instead you might have a lot of wind.

Also, you only want to run the desalination plant when the electricity price is too low ("below zero" with the transmission included), so you want generators for most of the time, when you actually sell the power.
Priuses are with the dual drive train. Chevy Volts are not, the generator is much simpler than a normal car engine. You are trading a normal ICE for an electric + generator combination, which is mechanically simpler (transmission is basically non-existent, for example). Not as simple as an EV, but can be simpler than a normal ICE.
SEC Regulation FD
They are saying that the nature of the party (global superpower) is the final exemption criteria for every kind of obligation if you play that card.
I don't think that's the case. Depending on where you are, you either get paid retail or wholesale rates, and still have to pay some monthly service fee regardless of surplus or deficit. I've never heard of any utility in the US buying solar production at more than retail rates.
Utilities make a guaranteed rate of return (up to 10%) when they build new generation plants and when they build new transmission lines. This is payed for by rate basing the new costs to customers. The system works great for utilities because they know how to build these plants/wires and the get paid regardless of whether they are truly needed or not.

Local governments and state regulators have finally started to push back against and are now forcing utilities to consider new solutions to grid congestion. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/non-wires-alternatives-what...
> The right to self defense is indeed natural, nobody argues that.

I'm pretty sure that you can find people that argue that natural rights are a quasi-religious fiction invoked solely as a discussion terminator in debates about the proper parameters of legal rights.

The Visigothic refugees weren’t well armed, and they were fleeing Huns not climate change. It was their children who served in the Legions who then sacked Rome.

Have you ever shot a gun in real life

Yes. In JROTC.

developed an electromechanical system more complicated than an RC car?

Before arduino was even a thing, I wrote a bit-banging controller for a converting tiltrotor VTOL. (We were using the GPIO of a "Gumstix" micro linux board to produce the PWM signals for something like 6 motors with partial automation to continuously mix the vertical-mode and horizontal modes of control, dependent on wing tilt, so bit-banging a microcontroller was the only way we could do it at the time.) The model tiltrotor project was headed by a friend whose father worked on the actual LTV XC-142, so it was quite complex. The complete tiltrotor never flew, but the "Gumstix" did fly on a delta wing plane.

Because what you just described is a fantasy.

More like fodder for near-future spy thriller Sci-fi, but it is well grounded in reality.

The TrackingPoint rifles actually did work, and there is one with an 1800 yard range. The controller on a Linux system is the thing which actually pulled the trigger, relying on the operator to hold the rifle in the correct orientation. When it calculated there would be a hit, the computer pulled the trigger.

It also gets you regulatory protection, to an extent.

Apple is owned by countless pension funds, endowments, likely every politician who invests, and a large % of the general population.

Their success is also part success for all those people. Private companies have far fewer defenders, much easier to vilify and punish.
I don't think it's that difficult, depending on how much power you're talking about.

You could literally attempt to boil the ocean, if you want to be ambitious. Heat your pool, for a domestic application.
Cause drones can be jammed/blinded up close. It's much harder to defend from a bullet fired from a kilometer away.
You can't do it ethically. I wouldn't put it past someone (or some country) to start trying anyway, if they haven't already.
Yes, someone (thing?) is gaming the system: cheaper renewable energy generation assets, and thus, weather (which is inherently unpredictable). When the sun is shining and wind is gusting isn't always at highest demand, which depresses rates during these totally unanticipated spikes in supply. Unless someone is playing God with the weather, I don't think there's a finger to point here.

Problem: social networks are increasingly building themselves around "journalistic" or "media" companies. These companies can lean on their political alignment to vindicate themselves when things go sour with the network. Easy to turn this into a campaign against "mainstream" media AKA whoever isn't getting banned.

Solution: No idea, but it's interesting to see this play out around media orgs instead of like, actual users who might have an opinion. Alex Jones is a strong face for InfoWars, but the whole thing is a media company.

> You can't discriminate on skin color, sexual orientation, etc. because society-at-large has decided those are qualities that you're born with.

No, you can't because society has decided you can't. Being something you are born with may or may not be part of the reason some in society support that designation, but its mostly beside the point. Religious or politocal affiliation is not widely viewed an immutable condition of birth and one is protected in the US and the other in at least some US jurisdictions.
I'm not sure Tesla's public market story is over. It's somewhat absurd for a company to announce a plan that would require $40 billion in capital to be raised to finance it, and offer no details on where that is coming from.

Two, Tesla has large operating losses to go along to its CapEx and many shorts dislike how exactly their choosing to classify many of their expenses. Depending on how you look at their accounting, you can easily believe this company is completely structurally unprofitable.

The people who are betting against Tesla are not stupid.
Assuming it can be applied in an automated fashion, sure.

But if there's a person in the loop, there's always going to be a priority queue so some are going to slip through the cracks longer than others.
