I think I'm clearly stating my assumptions. GPL3 and LGPL3 requires you to enable the user to replace the GPL/LGPL3 code on your device with the users own version of said code. It does not matter if you link statically.

Now, it would be possible let the user do this and not let it be a problem for your product (in terms of security, reverse engineering, ip theft, etc) but it is more and harder work.

I have used both older version of Qt (LGPL2) without licensing and newer (LGPL3) with licensing in commercial products. The former was not a problem. But using LGPL3 Qt without licensing in a commercial embedded product is a headache (if you are concerned about the problems it might bring), according to me.

Hence, I wish Flutter all the best.

The specialized languages are a pain, but a single language that tries to be everything to everyone tends to be more of a pain. That's because it can't specialize, it has to adopt the lowest common denominator approach. As a result it's unlikely to be the best in any given area (sometimes it happens, but rare in my experience).

Where this hurts the most is in hiring. To get a job with Google you'll either learn one of these really well and so only be able to apply to one area of Google, or you'll learn several of them but not go in depth as much in the same amount of time and be able to apply to many different areas of Google.

Your idea of a limited language ecosystem (a languages for each of system, web, and metal-to-abstraction) is a good idea, but I think it still invokes the LCD problem. Though nowhere near as much. It would not surprise me that much if we hit the extreme of specialization, with a specialized language for each slot of the {mobile, server, desktop UI, IoT} x {each of the seven layers of the OSI stack}. As I wrote that I was thinking you could create Karnaugh map like depictions of languages to show what areas they cover.

I think a very varied programming language ecosystem is a good thing, and we're never going to get a one size fits all language, but there's a balance needed. The jury is still out and I'll have to see if it turns out well.

> FUD is an acronym for fear, uncertainty and doubt. It is a marketing term that is often used to cast a shadow over a competitor's product when your own is unable to compete. FUD is a technique used by larger companies who have a large market share. The FUD acronym was first freely defined by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl Corp, with this statement: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering Amdahl products."

The correct strategy for merchants here is to raise prices to cover these refunds. Ultimately, this will all fall on the backs of consumers, just like every other “cost of doing business” does.

To put some sense of magnitude on it, according to https://appriss.com/retail/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/1... the median percentage of retail sales refunded across all retail categories is 10%, so this translates to about a 0.3% increase in prices. Would you tolerate a 0.3% decrease in return on your investments in exchange for no additional benefit?
If gamers are all that price sensitive, why are they buying new games at all? Wait a few years for the price to drop in half. It seems to me that the solution to this problem should be either:

• Make newly-released games cost $80+

• Stop the price from dropping so quickly

Everyone seems to think the former will be catastrophic, but consider that after adjusting for inflation, game prices have fallen significantly over the past 15 years or so.

The latter option is easier said than done (since the price is still largely determined by the used resale market), but Nintendo always manages it somehow, so I'm inclined to think it's possible.

Blacklisting coins won't work unless all the miners refuse to consider transactions containing them forever.

Bitcoin has sender based transactions. All I (the possessor of black market coins) needs to do is to send a small number of coins to a large number of addresses (exchange hot wallets, exchange cold wallets, random people's addresses) and now the taint is spread so wide that in order to enforce the blacklist you need a positive declaration from each of the destination addresses that they are not the thief.

>there’s no (current) list of black market coins, which is entirely possible to create- meaning hacked bitcoins would not re-enter circulation and the value diminishes wildly.

How would that be possible? Isn't the value based off of wallets, so what you need are blacklisted wallets, and trading with a blacklisted wallet blacklists your own wallet. This would also mean all coin mixers are nearly guaranteed to become blacklisted. At such a point, people will just choose to do business with blacklisted wallets instead.

We can already trace coin flows between wallets involved in far worse crimes than theft, yet the entire bitcoin community considers allowing them to operate as a cost of doing business. I don't see why millions of dollars worth of stolen coins would prompt a black list system when child abuse sites using bitcoins didn't prompt a black list system.

I try to always have windows open at least a bit.

Boston winters sometimes make cracking open windows impractical, but if you're in a typical old multi-unit building with old steam/water centrally-controlled heating, there's a good chance that your unit is too warm anyway (though some other units might be too cold). I've heard that some of these old heating systems were even designed assuming cracked-open windows.

The main downsides I'm aware of to open windows here usually are outside noise and seasonal pollen. For the pollen, you can run an air filter and HEPA vacuum robot and/or (supposedly) install special window screen material for the pollen. If you're in a very noisy area, that sometimes means opening and closing window based on noise at the time. If outside noise at night or early morning can be bad where you are, that might mean frontloading bedroom fresh air in the evening before bed, but shutting window before bed.

I don't know about air pollution from fossil fuels, industrial, etc.

> Modern popular frontend frameworks will be broken by CSP as they rely heavily on injecting CSS (a concept known as JSS or 'styled components')...

Not sure what you mean by this paragraph. JSS and styled components are both specific JS libraries that provide a way to write styles in JS and compile them to normal CSS. They both support normal server-side rendering of CSS that could be included in the HTML like any traditional web page.

The general term for this concept is “CSS-in-JS.” The libraries do not rely on inline styles, even though the general term may suggest that.

I’m not very familiar with JSS, but styled components absolutely supports building CSS in create-react-app.
Fascinating. If you were a fan of evolutionary origin stories, you could easily imagine that the negative association with body odor is an evolved "canary in the coal mine" mechanism. That is, once you start being irritated by your cave-mates BO, it's time to step outside for some fresh air (before you are asphyxiated).

That said, I doubt humanity spent enough time in caves or other restricted airflow environments for such a response to evolve...
> If my parents moved to Japan for work and their visa is up, my visa is up too

That's not the problem here though, It's more like your parents moved to Japan for work, stayed there, and when you turned 21 you were kicked out of the country and they get to stay.
My biggest complaint is studies being inadequately placebo-controlled. It's not just that studies often have no control group or a blatantly different control condition (waitlist, pill placebo), it's that there's no consensus on how psychotherapy works. That means there's no agreed-upon approach for sham psychotherapy, and even assertions that it's impossible to do because virtually any therapy-like experience already contains most of the beneficial elements (cf. [1]).

Other CBs have significant enough credibility or special situations where they can print comparable money without setting off hyperinflation. Definitely Japan's and probably Europe's.

Except... they can, and they do. There are plenty of companies out there that don't act like scumbags, its low hanging fruit and almost a meme at this point but CDprojektRed is a classic example. And just about anything published by Devolver is pretty non-predatory, and there a plenty of indie studios making bank without being shifty, like Risk of Rain 2 that just released, or the even more recent Mordhau.

I've read that often, but don't really think it's true. Compared to many European countries some of the more obvious civil rights problems are things like gay rights, minorities are systematically prevented from voting (through gerrymandering and other voting district decisions), the highest prison population per capita in the world (combine that with loss of voting rights and disproportionate share of minorities you get additional minority voter suppression), lack of whistleblower protections etc.

As a UX person, I see good and bad when I see these sorts of websites.

The good I see is that the markup is absolutely minimal, although I'm disappointed that the developer didn't give a unique name to the css in the examples. I see so many developers complain about CSS but time and time again, I see that the problem isn't that CSS is some terrible archaic language, it's that developers create messy markup that forces CSS hacks to correct them. Nevertheless, this website does a great job in not exactly showing the 'What' but the 'How' which leads to my next point.

The bad I see is that unless these effects are edited to match a more complete brand style guide, they just look like gimmicks and will do little to 'delight' any user.
For sites like Google, this is either a calculated risk, or not even applicable for them.

Scanner services like Mozilla Observatory / securityheaders.io / Qualys / etc only test a preset list of known best practices, they can't judge whether that technique is applicable for that site.

While it's usually good practice to follow the recommendations of such scanning services, you must always make sure you understand the implications.

My senior year, the high school installed blowers in each classroom. We were told it was required by a new California law.

I’m not sure it was an improvement: the blowers were noisy and made the classrooms much less comfortable (colder in winter, warmer in summer; it was an older school and the HVAC systems weren’t great). Teachers constantly talked about how they wanted to destroy the blowers. I seriously doubt grades improved. I wonder how previous students managed before our enlightened times.
> The state budget relies heavily on the wealthiest earners; in 2017, the top 1% were responsible for more than 47% of the state's income tax collections.

Until I saw it in action (2001, 2008) I hadn't realized that a tax regime could meaningfully be too progressive. But this statistic quoted in the article results in a tax receipts whipsaw in hard times. If you have a lot of money and your income declines dramatically for a couple of years you don't need to lose sleep over it -- it'll come back and meanwhile you can live of your assets. The same doesn't apply to entities that need to live off their tax receipts: such a time calls for increased spending just when the money isn't coming in.

It's amusing to contemplate whether it would actually be feasible to have a decent sized modern town in which horses, rather than cars, are the main form of transport.

The big problems becomes dealing with the huge amount of horse waste, both manure and urine, but mostly manure. A horse will create about 15kg of manure and 5kg of urine each day. For a small city of say 200,000 people, you'd need say 100,000 horses. That means 2000 tons of additional waste each day (the humans will be generating about 200 tons of biowaste a day).

This sort of problem was faced in the late 1800's. Some predicted the end of urban civilization caused by horse manure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Horse_Manure_Crisis_of_1...). Automobiles saved us all from the horrible fate of being buried in horse poop.

One disadvantage of the Bitcoin/Ethereum architectures is that one cannot give permission to receive a currency transaction first.

A common strategy of hackers seems to be to distribute stolen digital currencies among many addresses of non-participating actors, therefore losing money, but obscuring their own identity.

If a bank robber came to your door and offered you a share of money, you wouldn't take it either, especially if this transaction is public.

Even though several billion dollars of cryptocurrency (compare with hundreds of billions of dollars) have already been stolen, my guess is that taking these coins out of circulation wouldn't affect the system much.

If that doesn't happen, everyone participating in cryptocurrency might become more and more legally liable.
