Autodesk did understand the concept and fund them for a while. There are two reasons this conversation is not taking place via Xanadu:

1. The brilliant visionary wasn't also a skilled project manager, which is understandable enough, but unfortunately he didn't recognize the issue in time to take steps to either learn the relevant skills or delegate to someone who possessed them.

2. No viable intermediate steps. Version 1.0 insisted on being the whole shebang. They didn't manage to identify an MVP that would've been easier to build while still useful. Berners-Lee, by contrast, did identify such an MVP.
> Shouldn't plain vacuum be enough? The space is going to be reused for new items anyway, it won't take more of the space not already reserved by the database?

In theory, yes. In practice, I've seen a lot of bloat being preserved despite using aggressive autovacuum settings. I'm guessing this is due to fragmentation?

> On another topic, do you require using a SQL database for your queue?

I'd need some way to browse the queue and select items for processing using arbitrary queries.

Yep, although:

> Three people were selected for the study: the first person received a 24” monitor, the second participant – a 25” monitor with a 21: 9 aspect ratio, and the third participant – two 24” monitors.

The "ultrawide" monitor in this test is 1" bigger than one of the 24" monitors.

How the heck does this get counted as some kind of valid "ultrawide" comparison? Doesn't seem legit at all. :(
Yep, you're describing a typical design of a DB. I'm looking for an alternative design. I'm guessing it could use multiple small files (a few MBs) and merge them to avoid fragmentation.
Studies show eggs are healthy. Now studies say they aren’t. Science is difficult and often gets impacted by market forces. Perhaps this is even more of a concern with psychological research such as the studies you are referring to.
The distinction is that this is widespread new risk without accurate actuarial data. Someone looking at buying a house today doesn’t just have to wonder whether the value will be zero in 50 years but whether it might be 30% the next time a big storm causes enough damage that people don’t just rebuild, which could happen much sooner than that. Once there’s an event which makes it hard to get insurance, mortgages, or utilities the values can drop very quickly and you won’t have much advanced notice.
> there are also poor people in rich countries, but they are offered a price based on a country global metric

Those are expetions rather than the rule. I don't see any way of getting rid of them other than requiring you to submit your tax return when you buy a game. For a $60 purchase, country of residence is a good enough metric.

> smartphone applications in app stores are also software development, but they are not priced according to geolocalization as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong)

Apps are also mostly < $10, so affordability is less of an issue.
>Now I live in Asia and the buses are extremely frequent ...

Where in Asia? Being home to over half the world's population, it's extremely diverse and my impression is that the average Asian person had much worse access to public transport than the average UK resident.

We have invested decades ago in new nuclear (pebble bed reactor, breeder, reprocessing, ...) and it was a costly failure. Why should we keep making mistakes?

Look at France, they have zillions Euros to invest to get ONE EPR reactor online. They are losing huge amounts of money on another one they are building in Finland. Germany lost a lot of money on the EPR, too. The EPR France builds in the UK will be the most expensive power plant on the planet with >20bn pounds costs.

> How much further down do you expect fossil to go in ten years?

The projections for 2030 are around 65% electricity from renewable energy.
3MW is the peak power when the wind is blowing constantly at the maximum speed the wind turbine was designed to operate (and not over, at which point the turbine enters safe mode and stops to prevent damage).

Load factors for wind turbines are rarely over 40%. Nuclear's is 80%. So you'd need 2200 turbines to replace one Hinkley point. And all the gas power plants to make the energy when the wind is not blowing...
Why so? I checked the link in the petition:

https://emfscientist.org/index.php/emf-scientist-appeal

There are plenty of scientists asking for more testing and international coordination regarding the guidelines as to what EM levels and frequencies can be considered "safe" for humans. Given he fact that our activity in these areas constantly increases, it is a prudent approach, even if you could call it conservative. If we adopted the same approach in other areas, we could have saved lives. I'm not saying EM radiation is like lead or asbestos, but vehement negation of certain documented risks and aggressive lobbying by the industry makes me wonder what our - as a humanity - priorities should be.

WhatWG says it exists because it's more performant and transparent to end users than js or redirect based tracking.

It also says the end user can disable it. Guess that bit is being dropped?:

"The ping attribute is redundant with pre-existing technologies like HTTP redirects and JavaScript in allowing Web pages to track which off-site links are most popular or allowing advertisers to track click-through rates.

However, the ping attribute provides these advantages to the user over those alternatives:

It allows the user to see the final target URL unobscured.
It allows the UA to inform the user about the out-of-band notifications.
It allows the user to disable the notifications without losing the underlying link functionality.
It allows the UA to optimize the use of available network bandwidth so that the target page loads faster.

Thus, while it is possible to track users without this feature, authors are encouraged to use the ping attribute so that the user agent can make the user experience more transparent."

they may choose the 2nd option, but it's unknown if they would continue if told what the ramifications are. People chose brexit without knowing its ramifications, because they did not understand fully their choice. I suspect those who opt for tracking is also making this mistake.
It's also a space separated list, so you can ping multiple endpoints for one click.
Sure but residents in the poorer country can still exploit this by purchasing games on behalf of residents in the richer country, for a fee. Not everyone games so it's not like they're losing out on anything.
>The British basically perfected the art of rounding up drunks and vagrants and turning them into soldiers and sailors.

Britain had the (mostly forgotten) specificity of having a small population. Although it's fairly similar to France now, for a very long time the difference was four or five times. It only broke through the glass sealing and started exploding around the time of the American Revolution. Their foreign policies put extreme demographic pressure onto British society.
Lots of comments around the study...i will give my monitor thoughts as I think they're vastly different than most.

My theory is that I'd like to achieve productivity no matter where I'm at. This means I don't use more than the laptop's monitor. I've gotten really good at using workspaces to keep tasks separated and use 3 full screen "desktops" in Mac for my standard Dev flow. I never move my head to trigger a change in flow, just a quick swipe. Also every window on a desktop must be visible in some form if multiple programs are in 1 desktop.

I've never had a complaint about my performance although I don't think it would matter much if I had a different but efficient flow.

I do have some colleagues who have tried this but they don't follow rigid organization and so they can't find their windows well.
This is a problem for any sufficiently high power transmitter.
Is it really a privacy risk if there is no escalation? Exactly the same thing can be done, guaranteed, if JavaScript is enable. The UX is just objectively worse without this feature due to lag leaving the page.

So why make the UX worse for a callback function when the site can do it no matter what?

The only argument I can think of is that if the callback is slower, then sites may decide they don’t want the data because it slows down a user leaving their site by maybe a few hundred milliseconds.

Is that really the mentality of a site which is going to track you without permission? And if they have your permission, we should provide the JavaScript tools to make it fast.
A properly programmed device should have no issue. A device only needs to know the date to within 10 years so that it can interpret the week number correctly. So if the device runs its own clock that it synchronizes to GPS, it should keep working indefinitely as long as that clock is running. Even if it doesn't run a clock while powered off, it could store the clock to non-volatile memory occasionally, and it would keep working correctly as long as it isn't powered off for more than 10 years.
And the same goes for Paris in France.
Yes that rules also. Information and technology should be free.
I'm not sure how I feel about this article. I agree overall that UK public transport is generally pretty bad - it gets even worse when you're travelling inter-city and it's poor value for money. But I feel a little bit like this is nicely presented data and a compelling narrative being used to come to a pre-determined conclusion.

When the case for Transport=>Productivity is introduced they talk about the GDP vs Population graph in France and indeed start presenting a neat little example that tells the story they want:

> For example, Lyon, the second largest city in France, is more productive than Marseille, the third largest city, which is in turn more productive than Lille.

Nice and easy, right? However that was a very interesting choice of city to stop at, because the next largest city - Toulouse - has a higher per-capita GDP than both Marseille and Lille. Then the fifth largest - Bordeaux - is higher than Lille and is mere a whisker shy of Marseille. Only after we skip over a number of tightly bunched cities do we see a bit of a cliff where St Etienne, Toulon and Montpellier are smaller and also relatively poorer. You can definitely see something if you squint your eyes and look at the graph, but to me it just looks like the French cities are more equal overall than the British ones. But we know that already if we compare GINI coefficients of the countries as a whole (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...).

Most interesting is the massive outlier in the main graph - Edinburgh. It has no metro system to speak of (save for a single expensive and much maligned tram line) and an OK-but-nothing-special bus network. It's certainly not a sprawling city, but it's not compact either.

The poorer British cities definitely need some love and investment, and improved public transport will undoubtedly be needed. But this article presents an oversimplification that makes me a little uneasy about accepting any of their conclusions.

what?! fake as in, it's synthetic? Or fake as in not really olive oil, but it says it is on the label?
The Dam the Delta project was very impressive, and having seen it up close doubly so.

Am I right in thinking that some areas have now been designated as "we'll flood those to protect other areas, because the cost of compensation is less than the cost of adding ever more complex defences"? I recall hearing that somewhere.
Not cheap, but probably still cheaper than renewables, per kWh.

Also the problem with renewables is the power output curve, which are unpredictable because of sunlight and wind fluctuations, which will be compensated with coal/gas energy. Less of a problem with nuclear.
I have come across fair share of blog posts on how horrendous this is getting in the current age of big data and app economy. This behaviour is warranted by how VCs, PEs, and potential acquirers value a company... by number of users an app tracks. Boils down to battle for eye-balls all the way down because ads are guaranteed revenue stream that scales in-propotion to number-of-users * user-engagement, I guess.

I think everyone agrees there's a market for a simple-to-use solution.

Folks at https://GuardianApp.com are doing just that for iOS. For Android, apps like NoRootFirewall, NetGuard, Glasswire exist and other solutions like XPrivacyLua require root, or flashing LineageOS/ChromeheadOS and/or de-googling the phone voids the warranty. Most of the 2 Billion Android user-base wouldn't go anywhere near these.

A stop-gap then might be to provide a zero-touch / firction-free Firewall/VPN app that's "free" and one that's anti-surveillance and anti-censorship, but is also transparent, in that it enables end-user to inspect the traffic flowing in and out of their devices.

The challenge is no one wants to pay the internet provider and a random VPN app for a censorship-free / surveillance-free internet but they might gladly pay the internet provider extra premium if they offered the same experience. I know my dad wants this, but he wouldn't pay two entities for the same service.

May be what https://puri.sm is doing is the eventual end-game, but I think they're trying too hard. May be its time for an Android phone-manufacturer to launch a privacy focused phone. OnePlus reached its heights by placing itself as a Nexus/Pixel killer offering vanilla Android experience... so may be there's a market for privacy focused phone too, or may be https://e.foundation might pull this miracle off and become mainstream enough to matter.

Eventually, though, governments have to step in and bring forth regulations that prevents relentless surveillance of the end-user, similar to how wire-tapping phone-calls is illegal.
Could you please explain why they can't be?

It seems counter intuitive to me. It seems you're saying that static analysis cannot reach every branch of the program (and thus its underlying system libraries).

I'm surely missing something and would be grateful to anyone helping me out!
> but I do see a comment that tries to imply that the degree of Cs-137 contamination is about a thousand times higher than safe levels (300 years, ~30 year half-life)

That’s not what the comment says. It says that it will take 300 years for all the CS to vanish. But even by your interpretation, a response along the lines “This is a perfectly safe amount of radiation by all standards (or, as my comment: This is perfectly safe for limited consumption) would have been substantially better than pulling out the BED and trying to shut the discussion down with it. Note that the line you quote from my comment includes a wordplay on the BED (“bananas”)

Those guidelines are all about the heating effects of microwave radiation on flesh, the same way that an animal placed in a microwave oven would be injured or killed. And the FCC has established a limit for exposure of 1.6 W/kg where we can be sure that you aren't anywhere near having parts of you cooked.

Sufficiently intense microwave exposure can be a health hazard but there's nothing subtle about it, like there is with ionizing radiation which can make you sick days or weeks after exposure or give you cancer.

For 5G in particular the radio waves will tend to not penetrate as far into you body. Some militarizes have actually developed non-lethal crowd control weapons that cause a burning sensation in the victims' skins with the same sort of ~100GHz waves used by 5G but at a much, much higher power than the FCC would allow for consumer devices.
that's what we use daily standups for. i announce my plan for the day, and the next day i report on how well it went. if i procrastinate to much i have nothing to report.

Anecdata: UK elites don’t like living in city centres. Anybody worth anything runs from English city centres as soon as they can afford it. If France is anything like Italy, they take the opposite approach.

This might compound the public-transport issue to the point of significance, but such a cultural element won’t be eradicated by simply providing more “poor people’s transport”.
The big trend in the US was the switch to natural gas (a trend now ended by the rise of renewables and soon storage.)

Natural gas had the big advantage of being burned in combustion turbines, which are cheaper than other thermal cycles. Heat exchangers are costly, but a simple cycle turbine doesn't need any (if it doesn't have a regenerator).

The biggest nuclear operator here (Exelon) is shit talking new nuclear, putting their investment into CO2 capture, renewables, and storage.
Sounds very close to a definition of hell.

I am not sure why wikipedia disagrees with you. Probably because Norway is not a socialist country. Government is not equal to the workers. If workers owned means of production, it would have been a socialist country. This is simply not true. Most of companies in Norway are not owned by workers.

I gues this will help you to understand:

"Ownership: In a capitalist economy, property and businesses are owned and controlled by individuals. In a socialist economy, the state owns and controls the major means of production. In some socialist economic models, worker cooperatives have primacy over production"

Finally, no socialism never has been working very well. There is not a single example of it working well in all recorded human history.

> So, why do we spend money to display several things at once?

Because there's a higher cost to switching windows than just switching where you're looking.

This isn't just a developer / office worker debate, the aviation industry has done it too. Having dedicated displays is almost always better than having to cycle through windows until you find the one you want.
That's probably how the end comes. So much damage that it's not worth rebuilding even cheaper and temporary.

But as I said, until that happens people will live, property values will decrease and stuff that is rebuild will be build cheaper.

What will most likely happen first is "climate centrification" within Miami. Poor people in high elevations will be move out when land value increases. Low elevation areas become new low income neighborhoods.
Of course. And my thinking when posting my first comment was the cliche critique that Google has no human tech support. I wrote it a bit tongue in cheek after trying to get a human at another tech firm for several weeks now.
