Indeed, Apple is known (internally) for sitting down with privacy offenders and having serious conversations where they explain not just the rules they broke but why those rules are in place and that one of Apples business models comes from the value that they place on data and information privacy above all else is both a product and a right that people should have.

“He come tell ’bout I’m gonna take the TV,”

Let's say a transcriber records that perfectly. How is the jury going to interpret that?
That's actually been done, although no lasers were involved. You can modulate an ultrasonic beam with an audible sound in such a way that someone hit by the beam will hear the audible sound. Ultrasonic beams can be focused into a fairly narrow region. See [1].

They used this in an ad in New York in 2007 for the TV series "Paranormal State", which was premiering soon on A&E. It was a paranormal themed reality show. They had a big billboard for the series on the side of a building, and Holosonic's "audio spotlight" technology on the roof that sent two beams of modulated ultrasound down to the sidewalk.

Pedestrians who walked directly into the beams would hear a disembodied voice whispering creepy things like "Who's there? It's not your imagination", but someone next to them who didn't enter the beam would hear nothing. Here's a video [2].

Here's an article about that ad campaign, and it also mentions some other ad uses of the technology [3]. Interesting quote from it:

> Joe Pompei, president and founder of Holosonics, said the creepy approach is key to drawing attention to A&E's show. But, he noted, the technology was designed to avoid adding to noise pollution. "If you really want to annoy a lot of people, a loudspeaker is the best way to do it," he said. "If you set up a loudspeaker on the top of a building, everybody's going to hear that noise. But if you're only directing that sound to a specific viewer, you're never going to hear a neighbor complaint from street vendors or pedestrians. The whole idea is to spare other people."

It's not so much that anybody has been convinced, but that Apple themselves are incentivized to preserve the privacy of their customers to some degree.
There have been many, many other competitors, some of which had huge market share to start with. The market decided this, not Apple. There has been plenty to choose from over the years. Consumers chose the options that won, because those are the ones they want.

I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but to paraphrase in saying there is ‘only one’ choice in the market that is truly open you seem to be arguing that any second option ought to be too. That competition on openness is more important that there even being a closed option at all. Surely that would give consumers less choice though, not more?

But as I have pointed out, there have been plenty of other options and every now and then a ‘truly’ open phone comes out again.

Hi there. :) I'm an engineer on the Cloud Firestore team. I can't speak to if or when we'll be able to remove this restriction, but please know that the folks working on this (like me) are very aware of what a pain in the butt this is. I'm sorry that I can't give you a more satisfying answer, but I hope we'll be able to change this soon. Thanks for being a customer!

The BBC is a special case, they clearly are biased because their funding is based around them implementing Sharon White’s political agenda.

Sharon White is the unelected, former civil servant and former journalist that runs OFCOM.

They are under specific instructions from Dame Patricia Hodgson and Sharon White from OFCOM to drop impartiality and implement a social justice agenda.

It would be an interesting idea to do analysis on the headlines in the BBC News page to see how the editorial policy has followed edicts from OFCOM. Both are publicly available.
That's a good point and I'm OK with things like synthesizer clones. But those are semi-commodities, plus the originals will always have some special cachet.

But paying such a large amount would certainly draw more attention to the program itself? It might have caused a ruckus earlier and be shut down in the very early stages by Apple. At that point it might not have affected that many people and not so many people would be angry at Apple.

I believe the amount was a way of treading a fine line between being a significant amount for the targeted audience, but not too much to attract too many people.
Vue, Vuex, and Vue-router official document are good enough. Many concepts in Vue are similar or quite simple compared to what you have to know in React. However, I find that Vuex is a little bit more verbose than Redux. You might it troublesome at first but will be better after you are familiar with it.

Agree with other comments that Vue and its companion libraries have much larger API surfaces and have a lot of magic while React's advance techniques can be built upon few basic fundamentals so you need more time to remember those.
But I feel that most of APIs are practical solutions to problems you need to fix by yourself in React.

Yes, just replace

yarn start

with

npm run start
It’s the first thing addressed in FAQ
yes, it is posible, in practice the only difference is that some commands like build, eject, build:markdown you'll have to add the word run.

`yarn build` equals `npm run build`

`yarn eject` equals `npm run eject`

and so on ... except install, start and test which work without run.

`npm install`

`npm start`

`npm test`

There is another difference which is about the .lock file, you can delete yarn yarn.lock and keep the package-lock.json that will be generated after you run npm install.

To understand how this affect you need to understand semver and how the lock file works.

Hi there! One thing you might consider is using a function to replicate your Firestore data to BigQuery, depending on the value the latter would add. (Very fast OLAP; I'm a big fan.)

I'm an engineer at Stripe and thinking about this problem - drop me an email? In profile. Would love to run a few ideas past you (or others frustrated by this).
By intuitive he meant that React is mostly vanilla JavaScript, so if you know JavaScript then you know React. Basically when I code in React I never need to open the doc. Even building the most complicated view is straightforward.

With frameworks like Angular (I don't know about Vue), you always keep the doc open in background because you constantly need to look for a function signature, check what's the syntax for something or how this or that works…

As others have pointed out using consumer grade SSD drives for a database is a bad idea. Databases are going to do a lot of reads and writes so that's going to lead to problems down the road.

The second issue, is that since this was setup in a RAID I'm assuming that all of the drives were purchased at the same time when it was originally setup which means depending on the supplier you are probably going to receive drives from the same batch of production. Because of striping with RAID if you have some fault in a batch and multiple drives from the same batch then you can have failures on multiple drives that occur at approximately the same time.

The simplest solution is of course to buy enterprise grade drives but the obvious issue there is the price is much higher. Especially if you are going to be purchasing the largest drives as you always pay a premium for max capacity drives and the price jump on large drives is not insignificant.

When we first built out our SSD cloud for DigitalOcean at the end of 2012 we went with consumer drives because we were bootstrapped and SSDs were also significantly more expensive so we couldn't justify the price jump without knowing if we had product market fit.

But rather quickly we ran into a whole host of issues. Another common issue is that performance can degrade when consumer drives get to near full disk capacity so you can't really use all of the available space if you plan to do a significant number of reads and writes, which is pretty much what a database server is designed for.

That was the first upgrade we did after raising money, which is switching to enterprise grade drives, unfortunately you have to pay the premium but it really reduces problems significantly.

Yes. They already do something similar when registering in a ccTLD which requires a “local presence” in that country – they simply pay somebody in that country to be a proxy.

It shouldn't involve the same review. Apps internal to a company might break some rules set by Apple, but are agreed to by the employee in question via their contract or consent. The whole point of the enterprise distribution system is to easily distribute apps inside your organization.

Facebook clearly abused the distribution system here.
I always use 312-836-7000, which is the CTA's customer service number. It stuck in my head from years of bus commuting in Chicago. It most recently worked for me as a loyalty card at a Safeway in Mountain View, so I'm apparently not the only one with this number stuck in their head. But not enough people know it for it to be flagged. (Never tried it when I lived in Chicago, interestingly. There it might be more widespread.)
I would argue that Kotlin brings massive benefits over Java 12:

* Excellent null safety enforced by the type system
* Data classes reduce boilerplate and bug sources
* Extension methods
* Declaration site variance removes a lot of the ? extends T
* Everything being an expression (if, switch/when) is powerful
* Smart casts are useful, especially when combined with subtypes and when (switch)
* Removal of checked exceptions
* Inline functions, a good way to work around runtime type erasure
* Properties, no more getX or setX

None of these are the killer reason to go over to Kotlin or another JVM language, but all combined they make building software much more efficient. Java could get all of these, but they've tried to increase feature delivery speed multiple times by adjusting release schedule and failed so far.
I can't believe a company of this size is asking for donations...
Checked exceptions are the compiler forcing the developer to consider error cases.

What's not to like about that?

Contrast with all the other approaches (runtime exceptions, return codes, Either/Result, etc...) where the developer can happily ignore errors, the code will compile, and then crash at runtime.
kinda funny that UAE and Saudi Arabia have always had blatant human rights abuses including funding terrorism in places like Syria but nobody raise a brow until they isolated Qatar roughly 2 years ago, then suddenly the abuses are appearing out of nowhere and ironically Qatar is is the only country that's worse than both of them. Also never underestimate Qatar's sleeping Islamist cells pretending to be liberals and even SJWs in the major news media nowadays
Lasers can also record sounds through window vibrations. Now they can be targeted transmitters too. They could continuously record and transmit sound and tailor the messages to real time conversations. Seems like high potential for abuse.

For example, sharks with giant fricking laser beams that convert shark thoughts to audible sound that gets louder based on target's voice level.

Or government, millitary, and adtech abuse.

I'm not a big regulations person but see value in them in this case.
Intuition: AI "Dreams" could be implemented with something like this... first create images with something like this, then run them through an AI image recognizer (will result in goobledegook, requiring symbolic interpretation, but that's what most human dreams are like) ...

That's what intuition tells me, anyway...

You don't have to be a market domain expert, and even if you were, markets shift. Sometimes there actually was demand at the pre-seed stage, and by the time series A rolled around, incumbents have entered with competing products, or tastes have changed, or a million other things.

You have to put yourself in your (potential) customer's shoes. And more than that, you need to try and judge the founders' ability to do that, to see whether they can develop product relevancy as the company (and market) matures.

In other words, emotional intelligence is a valuable asset for early-stage companies.

Predictive App Marketing: The Next-Gen Mobile Marketing Technology for CMOS
There was a point around the iphone 5/galaxy s4 era I really wondered what the hell Apple was doing releasing only a 4" phone, with an os roughly equivalent to androids, with less flexibility in what you could do with the device, at marked up prices. Nowadays I appreciate the things like the relative privacy, far superior OS support, and the more locked down security. I still buy Android but that's largely for value reasons. If cost was no object I would buy iPhone.

>Workstations need to be totally user-controlled,

I believe chromeOS is a good example of a stripped down less tunable OS that works great and is perfect for inexpensive Atom based machines that still have good build quality, battery life, and displays while being simple to use.

I believe trying to push the "store" model to desktops smacks of a solution that generates a lot of $$$ for M$ and Apple in search of a problem.
The double standard is inane.
Yes, but as a programmer when I'd start working on a new project, I would call it a Rails project, I've never heard of a Lombok project.

Sure, I've seen Spring/J2EE projects that used Lombok... some 10 years ago, but the idea seemed to have died down, maybe it's my own bubble.

Automagic is ok for a specific type of problem (Rails for webaps?), Lombok however reminds me a bit of the promises of AOP which failed to gain traction outside frameworks.

There are other highly opinionated frameworks/stacks that have mixed adoption in the java world -- jhipster seemed to gain some traction, but people seem to just use bare spring boot nowadays(which is quite opinionated)

I don't have absolutely anything against small projects, I'd love to work more on smaller projects, but 18000 lines of generated code is NOTHING, try to convince a medium team to use Lombok, you'll very soon end up with people loving or hating it, removing it for debugging purposes, creating their own generators and very soon it's a real mess.
But all that is just my experience, I'm not trying to dismiss Lombok or any approach, if it works for you, great!

While you end up with an acrylic model, this should be suitable for lost-wax style casting. Being able to create an unpixilated identical or scaled copy of a model will be fantastic for fine art sculpture (or destroy the industry, if copies become too easy to make). Just take your acrylic model, attach casting channels, cover in ceramic, dry, pour in your bronze, cool, crack, trim, patina, ship. Avoid all of the fiddly mold making and wax finishing completely.

Tend to agree. But if you work in a team, there will be someone who just loves implicits and overloading and you won't be able to change his mind. Strong code style policies help, but they are really rare in real processes.

All SSDs were from the same batch and had the same amount of writes on them and all failed in a very small window. It's a known issue with consumer drives.
I've got to agree with this. You're ultimately just being rude to a minimum wage worker who has to follow a script or be fired.
Which i guess is _fine_ if the result from that is an increase in privacy for the end user. I get your point - there is something to be said about handling every "breach" of their rules differently.

I work on an enterprise react application which hot reloads in <1s and tests re-run automatically when changing a file which impacts them automatically in a similar time.
