I would discourage development for Windows but not necessarily on Windows. I develop on Windows and deploy to Linux all of the time. I also have started using the Linux subsystem for Windows.

I’ve been developing for and on Windows for over 20 years. The “Windows Tax” didn’t become a concern of mine until I started using cloud providers. The cost of Microsoft’s licenses was someone else’s problem.

But, when every resource you use is tagged and it’s very clear how much you’re spending on an implementation, the double hit of Windows becomes real. First you pay more for Windows VMs than the same size Linux VMs and then you need more resources.

I can do a lot with a 256Mb-512Mb RAM Linux VM. I at least need 4GB of RAM for Windows and that’s stretching it.

On the other hand, I still love .Net Core but it’s not getting the uptake that Node is or even Java - yes that makes me sad.
Source? I would be highly surprised if franchisees are allowed to produce any marketing assets independently. The brand is the most valuable asset McD Corporate has. It's much more likely they have a catalog of assets/campaigns that franchisees can choose from depending on their market. (Similarly to how they allow franchisees a certain amount of leeway in what menu items they feature, but they can't just make up their own sandwiches.)
> I assume things have changed since then

Yes, tremendously so. It's still XML for basic UI, but Kotlin is the primary language of choice these days, Android Studio is a solidly world-class IDE, and the emulator is very fast.

> but I wonder by how much and if Flutter's workflow skirts any of these issues altogether.

Flutter uses the regular Android emulator, and although you have more editor choice the recommended was to just use a plugin for Android Studio.

> Why they didn't just choose Typescript or go with native javascript is beyond me.

They needed to be AOT compiled. Can't ship a JIT on iOS, after all. And JS is very unfriendly to static compilation. Dart is considerably better suited for AOT due to static typing.

There are other languages that are GC'd & AOT friendly, though, so I can't help you with why they didn't use any of those, though. But why they wouldn't use JS is pretty straightforward.

The nature of "laws" are also different in China versus a rule-based society like the USA (heck even Europe is less rule-based than the US).

Even if China nominally had a law against IP theft, on the ground in it can be very different. They could (and do as the stories below show) ask companies to "voluntarily share their methods" and when they don',t, towns can delay permits, throw up selective barriers, and put in all sorts of disadvantages that are not officially codified.

The west would be smart to wait to see how easy it really is to do business in China without giving over IP before giving China credit.

China has been playing the "we passed a new law/speech" game to buy time for a long time, but the walk is far from following the talk. I hope China is serious, but only time will tell, not the law.

These sorts of 'illustrative only' graphics get pumped out every day in marketing design, even for large brand names. As a young junior designer, I once had a creative director ask me to use a Samsung phone asset to illustrate how 'Bixby Vision' or whatever it was called worked. He wanted an Asian language text in the background on a menu with the phone in the front, showing translated text. I attempted to comply with his request for a little while before pushing back gently; I was a greenhorn in the industry and didn't have a great relationship with the CD anyway.

Thankfully nothing came of it and we moved forward with another concept. But I was appalled at the time that he would have wanted me to grab seemingly anything off of Google Translate and create a graphic representing how the phone would supposedly work, all of which I was extremely uncomfortable doing. But I suppose he saw it as an extension of our other usage of stock imagery and device assets.

I don't know about the benefit of karma, but the purpose of karma is to enforce and reward conformity to guidelines and culture through operant conditioning, with the intended net effect being only high-quality comments (and commenters) wind up on top, and are engaged with, while low quality comments (and commenters) are left alone at the bottom, unreadable, to discourage both commenters and posters.

This is in line with HN's culture of aggressive curation and "quality over quantity," though, so I don't see it changing or going away.
> I think 'they' as a gender-neutral pronoun is widely accepted in speech and may have greater acceptance in writing than once it had

We are under unprecedented levels of surveillance, with drones, street cameras (possibly with automatic face and gait identification), credit card transactions monitored, phone location logged via cell towers, cars via license plate scanners, pervasive internet monitoring by numerous actors, etc. And that's all -before- someone is actively targeted by the police, which can result in bugs placed in the home, car, and on computers, recording conversations, recording passwords as they're typed in through compromised keyboards or usb cables, or using telescopic lens and a camera, or one of those fancy through-wall-radars. Forensic science has also advanced, allowing traces of suspicious chemicals to be detected on a person, their DNA identified anywhere they shed dead skin cells,

Almost the only scrap of privacy left is due to encryption (easily circumvented by planting bugs), yet they want to strip away even that, claiming we have so much more privacy than ever before, that it's making police work impossible??

Except this is exactly what happens. Cars double park or park in bike lanes all the time. Cars drive on sidewalks or park in driveways blocking sidewalks (heck I was just honked at by an angry motorist driving his car down a sidewalk near downtown because I wouldn't move out the way). Cars park in private lots without paying. There's a reason why there are private tow operators, meter maids and cops out to enforce traffic violations.

Isnt vandalism a problem with dock-less scooters ?

I can imagine someone passing by, picking up one of these and dumping it into a garbage can.

Hmm, lets challenge that assumption too! :)

I personally know 20 or so people who had ran business in China, and been personally involved in more or less intimate financial dealings of companies in China. Good sides:

1. Tax documentation is that damn simple

2. Of all countries, it is China that understands that you don't slaughter a chicken that will be laying golden eggs. That will sound very surprising, but the overall tax policy is more or less positive towards business.

Most mom and pops shops are not demanded formal business registration, and even if they decide to legalise, many provinces have tax free or reduced tax grace periods from 2 to 5 years for small businesses! You simply don't hear taxmen making ruckus in the industry here. The worst thing about I heard personally was company's few thousand fapiao submission being subjected to review one by one for one year.

3. Smaller income tax, and in overall fever people having to pay it results in overall cheaper life for ordinary people, and cheaper workers. If you run an export business, you can see that "decoupling" effect the most. The economy is tuned to that lowest common denominator, not the abstract "middle class earner."

All of that tells that China has very different view on taxation. Plain income, corporate and individual - completely chill, but for anything like good/transactions/services/other "money in motion" taxation is merciless.

From what I can tell, police departments are seizing them:

(3) As part of an illegal operation, where there is a permitting requirement the firm isn't complying with.

Yeah, it's a simple ETL job, and can probably be done via script by any competent sysadmin or developer. Fuck the FCC on this one. Especially since they're allowed to charge a reasonable fee for the work. $500-1000 would more than cover the cost of the request. Which is far less than the meeting to decide probably cost.

I feel like your (and most) anti-intellectual property arguments are built on terrible strawman, so let's go through your terrible strawman.

>One is an absolute. The cake is and moves. The other is an idea. You get rent from me expressing an Idea. Do I have to pay if I hum it inside my head?

Obviously not, and to suggest that intellectual property laws would require rent payments for thinking about a song is so odious and unfair that the speaker must be assumed to be acting outside of the realm of honest discourse.

>Do I have to promise not to tell anyone in written form?

? How is your concept of intellectual property so divorced from reality? In what country does one make a promise not to hum a song to a rights holder in written form? This beggars belief that you are anything other than some uninformed radical.

>What if I change more than 90% of the notes but keep one theme?

As with all of intellectual property, unless you are attempting to commercialize your idea, you aren't going to be seriously targeted for using someone's intellectual property.

I struggle to treat this post as anything but the uninformed ramblings of a true radical. I mean, could you at least pretend to have a real world understanding of intellectual property when you create your examples?

Here's a question for you: Have you ever created anything in your life with value that could be protected by intellectual property laws (copyright, trademark, patent, etc)? Have you ever created anything of value and given it away? Or are these ruminations about intellectual property purely hypothetical?
Correct - and incidentally these are the limits allowed by the IRS if employers choose to compensate you that way. There are some limits - like if you are at a conference that serves food, you get a deduction for that based on which meal. that's why a lot of conferences have some amount of food around but not technically "Breakfast" in the morning, because it would make people lose part of their per diem.

I used to work in state government and at a fed contractor. Travel department booked our hotel, generally subject to said per diem amounts (interestingly, our hotel contracts were almost almost exactly the limit) and we never got to pocket anything on that.

Food we just got paid the IRS limit (including calculation for partial days and otherwise provided meals) and we did not have to submit receipts on that. It was certainly enough to eat well enough and go home with a little extra, especially since I don't really eat breakfast.

It's really note enough to hit the booze hard on, though. People who drank on trips hated it, people who don't drink much came out ok. Some of my poorer/cheaper co-workers would pick up food at a corner store, make sandwiches in their room, and end a week trip with $150 in their pocket and were stoked about it.

Unless there is a major breakthrough in x86 compatibility, Windows isn't coming to ARM. They tried it with RT and they supported RISC far back as NT 4. I think 10 is great, but they've come to admit they're pretty much boxed into the whole Wintel monopoly they once thrived.

You do have some good points. I was thinking how bad it would look on their part if their OS doesn't even have its own browser. Even Gnome has a browser, which is pretty much FirefoxGTK.

I can't put my finger on why Microsoft should cease browser development. But adopting Chromium is definitely a good step in that direction. It's cheaper, normal people won't notice (or care), and they can keep branding.
Cities regulate the use of public parking spaces, including what can park (e.g. RVs often can't), how long a car can stay, and charge fees for use (via meters and such). In Seattle car share companies like Car2Go are paying about $1700 per year per car [1] for the right to "store them" in public spaces. Cities historically haven't regulated sidewalks as elaborately because it wasn't common for anybody to leave large numbers of valuable things lying around on them. Cities are now trying to catch up, but I'll guess what regulations do exist mostly forbid leaving your business property on them without proper permitting. (For bikes Seattle's implementing a flat annual fee of $250,000 per company, scooters haven't really shown up here yet.)
