A year ago I saw someone flying a drone from the top of the Shard building in London.
The person was promptly told to land his drone immediately by the security. However the scary thing for me is that the smaller business planes and commercial plane that fly into London city go really close to the Shard on their approach.

So definitely a collision is now a real risk
There are many other LCA studies, go find them. They all say similar things, and it makes sense when you think about how many gallons of gasoline or diesel a car can burn over its useful life (15-20 years).
You misread my comments. These are not my ethics, nor am I in any sort of leadership position.

I am merely pointing out that unpaid overtime/wage theft/whatever is probably more common than the OP acknowledges. This is obviously unfortunate and a likely a work culture problem in the US.
I think they mean “single page app”, ie you do not navigate away from the initial resource.

I agree with the sentiment though.
Specific presidents generally have low approval rating, but the idea of the office of the president has a high approval rating(which is why people care so much that their person gets put there).
Oh yeah, the growl. The constant reminder that your gas is being spent to generate sound waves, not to propel the car.
Yup. Canadian Tire does this. They have a fence around their returned product smashing area. Any product returned that's not resellable is smashed and thrown away. And their criteria for what's resellable is fairly strict. Most returns just end up smashed. Employees aren't allowed to take or even purchase at a discounted rate or anything. It's just obliterated and trashed. I know someone who used to work there. Employees had ways of taking things(however you feel about it...i understand it's to stop scamming and such but I still feel like it's better than just trashing perfectly good things.). But they still destroyed hundreds of perfectly good stuff while they worked there.

I gotta admit the grocery store I worked at back in the day was pretty good. They left their old produce for people with animals to take. Employees could take expired stuff that was still good but going to be thrown because it was past the date.

I dunno I don't like wasting things that are good. There's always a better solution than just throwing things away and destroying them.
Literally nothing you said is true. Apple doesn't sell your data and they collect dramatically less data which has been proven numerous times. This is basically a cheap attempt at trolling.
Could you expound on (1). I have been toyed around by my former Co founder who sweet talked me into believing him. I still think I suck at understanding human behaviour and nature. Are there any telling signs that help you?
> That would be a pyrrhic victory at best. True ownership of comsumer devices is de facto a thing of the distant past.

Only because consumers are not offered an honest choice.

Anyway buying by the cycle would fall squarely into non-ownership, would it not?

In any case, this type of pessimism IS a clear loss for consumers.
I enjoyed that the expert's recommendation was not "regulation", but to change drone design so they more easily break apart on impact. More likely to be implemented and does not need enforcement on the consumer level.
Who benefits the most from the work your SO does... employees or the corporation? As others point out, they are to be avoided at all costs! And usually play a really bad gate-keeping role when it comes to IT hiring. It's a hard thing to learn early in your career.
I think there's a way to think about this that does actually make sense...

"As long as people are only willing to buy pretty produce, then because actual produce inherently contains only a certain fraction of pretty produce, a demand for pretty produce inherently creates a surplus of ugly produce which can then be redistributed. In effect, every purchase of pretty produce hides an invisible tax which goes to buying ugly produce for the homeless. If paying customers no longer demand pretty produce, then stores will be able to only order as much produce as they need for paying customers, and the ugly-food surplus - that virtual tax on produce customers - will disappear. So, in effect, the ugly produce movement is the equivalent of advocating for a repeal of a tax on produce purchases which is used to buy produce for the poor."

And phrased that way - "do you support or wish to abolish the produce tax and the social program based on it" - it becomes a political issue which one can reasonably have opinions supporting the tax on the basis that it helps the poor. Especially as this tax and feed-the-poor social program has been created without government intervention or regulation - they're an emergent product of unforced consumer preferences, and there's no administrative overhead involved in keeping track of the taxes and organizing food purchases because it's just an automatic consequence of spending money to buy produce.
Isn't Denmark the country that taxes new car purchases 120% of the price of the car already? I don't think they're a good indicator of the overall attitude of the EU.
Thanks, the downvote that I was referring to was the original post which was being down voted. That post was meant to be linked to that post not the above. My bad.

I can see that I'm touching on a heated topic (Rural vs. Urban living) that people feel strongly about.

My original point is that there appears to be people willing to work on farms, but not the types of farms that build culture and invite communities to be a part of. So we are left with migrant workers which in this day in age are probably largely illegal.

I would assume that this is an untouched labor force and economic niche that is being underutilized.
a related and very expensive agriculture problem is citrus greening, spread by the invasive insect Diaphorina citri (aka Asian Citrus Psyllid).

citrus greening (aka Huanglongbing) has severely damaged citrus groves in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Florida and Texas.

Why design and fly such a huge yacht of a lander when you could use a dinghy to bring in supplies to build a shelter that can withstand more than two weeks of use? Inflatable structures could be landed and assembled autonomously before astronauts even show up. Radiation would be an issue when living in an above-ground structure but it would only serve as a temporary structure while underground facilities are built. You could even get to the end game by having these shelters land near exposed lava tubes where astronauts could then help move them to a good spot in the tube. Now you have a safe home for humans where food and other supplies can be delivered. LM says they are thinking "end game" but all they are doing is thinking about a stop-gap solution that doesn't involve any long-term settlement.
Rural areas are neither economical nor convenient for public transportation.
Did you look into using something like ffmpeg.js to do the heavy lifting client-side? Note I have no idea if ffmpeg.js supports all the features you need (ie HLS).
I think this is a pretty accurate summary, as probably evidenced by the downvotes you are getting (and I no doubt will get). :)
I have a good one:

Give negative feedback in private email, then it gets forwarded to multiple layers of management behind your back, then a single quote from this email out of context is cut-n-pasted into your perf review few months later by management. (Happened in big advertising company that also runs search engine).
This is a very good idea, and could be used by Google or other advertisement agencies (if only they want to.) You may pay the revenue the ads make and get the stuff you want to learn instead. This way, Google gets its money, and you get to learn. Also, this could be uesful in that it doesn't require too much tracking of the users. It is definitely not fully sustainable, but it could be better than nothing.
Why bother getting money back out of charities ? What matters about money is not who owns it but who controls it. As long as the same person has control of the charity, what's the problem ?

(and that control is there or they would never be able to sell that illiquit painting)
I had a project about this size on GKE, in an attempt to get a feel for Google hosted Kubernetes product. I went on vacation for two weeks while a container was printing an error (unbeknownst to me). Google wanted to charge me ~700 dollars for StackDriver logging volume (a feature I was not aware was connected to my Kube pod stdout).

Google Cloud refused to refund or provide any guide as to how to entirely disable / purge StackDriver, so I'm back on AWS and won't be recommending anyone move to GKE any time soon (it's extremely extremely easy to suddenly more than 100x your bill...)

With my hand-built Kube on AWS I have 15gb assigned for my ELK logging cluster, and it costs me nothing because it falls under the free tier. Looking forward to trying out Digital Ocean's product next!
For every one of those companies you mention there are Chinese ones that are arguably bigger and more successful.

And I don’t think you can chalk smartphones down to an American invention really.
It's obviously location dependent, but in most any booming US city (Seattle, Denver, Austin, etc.) a junior dev should be making at least 80k unless they are truly green.
You're free to disable the alerts by installing a custom OS on your phone where you have disabled the feature.

Your argument makes it sound like, say, Google owes you infinitely customizable software if they are going to provide any software at all, when they have no such obligation - just like you have no obligation to buy their phone, or use their software.
I'll admit that Kubernetes Is a Surprisingly Affordable Platform for Personal Projects when your personal project is to learn how to use Kubernetes.
>I never understood online-learning ([1]) for non-trivial topics.

How about this: You can't afford to pause your entire life to do a 4 year degree.

The issue is - online learning isn't just watching videos.

In the case of software related tasks, it's learning skills, competencies, and building software, which is on the computer.

Digital learning is not happening, because current implementations have been anchored in the past (recording lectures) instead of creating meaningful digital experiences. Educators generally don't have the technology skills to create meaningful digital learning experiences.

The technologists that can create meaningful digital learning experiences are often not in the decision making capacity that they could be.
Agreed, this is an uncomfortable name.
My personal experience is that Germans take 'doing it by the book' to a whole another extreme. It's paperwork until the end of time. (I have no affiliation with either, but I've worked with both)
Tesla's Autopilot and GM's Supercruise only "kind of works"

Maybe foobar2000 (possibly with some UI plugin?) It's been a very long time, but I recall somethign similar.

https://yuo.be/columns_ui looks a little like it, but this would have been mid 2000's, probably on windows XP.
That's kind of the parent poster's point - if a father and son are both working on a farm, they're both farmers, but the father is "principal farm operator"; the father's age is not representative of the age of those working there.
> Why can’t they make that claim?

Well, they can claim anything they want. If they want to be consistent and have integrity then they'll make sure their actions align with their claims. Claiming to support privacy while also conceding to China shows they have no integrity and they're only telling people what they want to hear for marketing purposes.

> Google maybe rich beyond the dreams of any single human, but they can’t force the Chinese government to stop thinking like the Chinese government.

Right, but their inability to change Chinese policy doesn't imply that they have to take an active role in helping China's censorship. They could have said, "We're not doing business in China because it conflicts with our 'Don't be evil' policy." Instead, they got rid of that policy and are working with the Chinese government to censor web content.
There is a difference between being negative and being constructive. You might find the down votes are the subtitles between them, this has traditionally been a community of not-trolly, happy go lucky, mostly kind people who are working to build things, not pull them down.
Does this require resources on your server? (Apologies because I don't understand what this is.) What's to stop me from uploading 10TB of video files and using all your resources?
You don't have to be nice to everyone all the time. It's better to be grumpy, opinionated and even a nay sayer sometimes than to fake smile through everything.

Because doing the later can give you physical symptoms like real back pain and migraines (collectively known as TMS) and millions of people suffer from it, get surgeries, medicine yet don't know that their persona is the cause of their physical pains.

This is what I learned the hard way after suffering from such aches and pains daily for nearly two decades and geting better quickly by just understanding the most basic thing about how our mind and body works.
I knew it, always these little salads.

That isn't food, it's a condiment.

Also pretty sure its a ton more efficient to grow these in a field, under the sun. Want to make a cool robot? Make a field scale planting/harvesting robot for this and that might have some application. This is just a gimmick.
Also, if you buy 20k cars from Jaguar (mind, 20k iPace is more than a month worth of Tesla Model 3s) you will be paying a lot less than 150k per car.
You're both right. A person can be a force multiplier for the team even if their direct output is low. But I've also seen people simply bullshitting their way into better projects and positions.
Due to the increased efficiency, the speed increase is supposed to be much higher. At CES they showed up to 11Gbits: https://www.zdnet.com/article/d-link-asus-tout-802-11ax-wi-f...
Have you tried codementor.io?
I think this is some kind of law: Every company is good at only those things where external pressure is high, and usually those are sales and whatever they are selling. Everything else has little external pressure to work well, and because the natural state of things is suckage and stagnation, everything else sucks and is stagnant.

Nah, I already had all of the infrastructure and technology. I can't even remember the software I used for game hosting[1] , but they were the largest paid technology that provided this kind of thing at the time.

I bought him with the intention of moving into "web hosting", since at that time my business was entirely focused ONLY on providing services such as "teamspeak", "battlefield 2" hosting, GMod, Call of Duty etc, I thought I needed to diversify, because when I started "1 slot" was about 1.50-2.00 per user. Then it just started being cut throat and I ended up overselling to keep up with the competition's lower prices.

I ended up inheritting bills I could not pay at the datacenter. Old servers that weren't worth the scrap metal and obviously a loan... I started to struggle to cover the loan and ran into huge/unbearable stress from my mistakes. It was just a series of rushed decisions, head down, plough through a purchase because I thought it would help me grow, when it was the complete opposite.

I can't even remember what the billing software was, but it was something off the shelf... and was for an industry (web hosting) I really didn't know much about. Not that that mattered since I never had to support any of the customers...

Update:
[1]: I researched it for my curiosity.. It was called TCAdmin. Was pretty critical to my early success, without it I wouldn't have had a clue what I was doing.
we have part-time masters here in germany. A friend of mine is doing a part-time bachelor and it works out.

But it's usually not as challenging as going to a university for a full-time study.
You can probably grow just about anything, but things with a long growing cycle, big root systems, heavy plants prone to falling over if not well-anchored, etc., are more work. So, fruit trees are a challenge, for example. They end up needing pretty involved scaffolding; I'd imagine that would be a particular challenge to implement with a robot.
This could change at any time, because extensions are automatically updated (unless you change the setting), and the permissions when it's installed allow it to, so it could start sending the text in the active text area, for example. There's also no way for them to prove that they don't store the text that's sent to them.

Chrome used to always show a list of requested permissions when installing an extension, but it doesn't anymore, unless it's asking for special permissions. Extensions can do a lot without special permissions.
Look at car safety. You have to pass a benchmark test but after that it’s up to the OEM to go as high as they want.
Yes, well, it was always possible (either using direct flashing or HDA_SDO), or by forcing a reboot with the upgrade bit set (which was enabled by default on most platforms I've seen up to 2017. (no real data after that since I no longer have to deal with fleets of random systems).

I suppose the ME MFG mode here adds for an additional path that can be abused silently, which is a real problem.

On the key side of things: I have not yet found a leaked key. That would have made coreboot life so much easier...
As far as quality goes it's way more reliable. Most of the "advanced" driver assistance systems would kill you within a minute if you left the car to their control.

What they have now is a Devkit that is level 2, which they are using to iterate on, gather data, gather feedback, and will ultimately ship a much more complete consumer friendly product.

It's really the only option for hobbyists and enthusiasts to get self driving capabilities today without 50k+.
Funnily enough in Norway they’ve just doubled the bottle deposit, to the benefit of people who search bins for empty bottles (mostly immigrants).

I think they were actually hoping less people would throw bottles away but it’d have to be a lot higher to stop that.
How the tech-scene look like in Melbourne ?
MOOCs in their current incarnation of recorded lectures will only go so far, because the delivery method is anchored in the past.

MOOCs need to evolve. Many are just using the same pattern (Video/Question) that has been around since 2001. It's ridiculous, especially when creating video content is expensive, let alone updating it quickly enough across a plethora of topics.

MOOCs, or a better solution must support 30% of learning that occurs inside a classroom, and 70% of the informal learning that occurs outside the classroom for the same student.

Very few systems are paying attention to how students are actually learning today in academic environments - it's pretty interesting how large the disconnect is.
