>I find extroverts remember facts like these...

I like your overall point, but disagree here. I actually find a lot of introverts (such as myself) remember MORE minutiae than extroverts because we are more prone to listen than to speak.

We just won't bring it up out of nowhere because we already know how the conversation will go or are not piqued enough by the subject matter to think it warrants a conversation.

Google decides to unify APIs under a single IoT brand, thus shutting down redundant APIs. Google bad.

Google maintaining multiple APIs that essentially do the same thing. Google bad.

People are going to complain either way. I welcome this change personally and think it makes perfect business sense. I can't think of any Works with Nest that I have integrated in my home that's not already connected to my Google Home, so I don't really see this impacting many negatively.

Replete (Clojure REPL) for macOS
The stores I've been to all have concierge staff at the front (often with phones or tablets pretty much glued to their hands, sometimes wearing a different shirt). You can tell them what you are looking to do (check out watch bands, genius appointment) and they'll ask you to stay in a certain general area until the next apple person is available, who is sent over based on what I assume are notes on your appearance.

But if you manage to walk past them to the back of the store, you're out of the system and likely to fall through the cracks (unless the other staff aren't busy).
> But that demand is real.

But you just stated that that demand is not real. That most companies artificially manipulate demand, implies that a majority of the demand is not real.

Furthermore, talking generally as you are doing, obscures the point. The demand for unsustainable, literal-killing-the-planet-and-the-species energy, would not exist if it were not for a handful of companies covering up scientific research, and lobbying politically to ensure that they are never held accountable.

> This whole thread started on the idea of executives dying to end climate change

>

> I'm simply stating that idea is both outrageous and offensive.

Why? I find the idea of the death of anyone, revolting. I am usually the first person to argue against the death penalty. In this specific instance, I find it completely and utterly inexcusable that these people chose to enable the death of billions of people, to put entire ecosystems and millions of species at risk, and trillions of lifeforms, just so they could continue maintaining a profit.

If a large amount of countries around the world, and states in America, can agree that it is just to put someone to death for harming someone, then the same people should unequivocally accept it's use in this instance. This isn't just a bad thing for the people to have done, there really is no other example in history. The number of deaths from the Holocaust literally pales in comparison to the amount of death that those individuals have tangibly, provably manipulated, all for the sake of profit.

If that comparison feels far-fetched, please remember that it is not over-the-top to state that the actions these people have taken, and continue to take through their inaction, are literally causing a mass-extinction.

If I conspired to throw the asteroid that caused the KT Extinction at the Earth, I would be held culpable, no?

Of course, perhaps it would be better to keep them alive, strip them of their wealth, and let them ride out the disaster they have created along with everyone else.

> Yes, companies have done bad things. Yes, they should be held accountable.

That's past tense. They have not just done bad things, they are continuing to do bad things, and they are manipulating things so that they will, for the foreseeable future continue to do 'bad' things.

> No, reparations from individual companies will not get us out of the situation we're in.

I agree. The companies cannot do anything to save us at this point. They should be seized by the state and put on a path to renewable energy, or otherwise shut down.

> It's not the companies. It's the emissions, and a severe lack of regulation and guidance to curb them and those factors which increase their demand.

Oh I see, so nobody is responsible then? Or are you trying to argue that the state is responsible, or that the people are responsible?

Also, I don't like Dart after I used a site built with it by Google. As far as I remember, it was a Doubleclick for publishers or something ad-related. It was very slow, even in Chromium, all animations were laggy, and in Developer Tools I saw that it loaded megabytes of JS, compiled from Dart code. For example, a "What's new" widget was implemented as a separate app and loaded several megabytes of code including its own copy of a standard library. I would recommend against using Dart for Web sites.

(I'm the Flutter TL.)

As far as the bit about Flutter goes: Flutter was started by engineers from the Chrome team, and myself (who worked in the open source team as editor of the HTML standard). We had no relationship with the Dart team at all until some times into the project, when we were looking around for a language to replace JavaScript in our project (codenamed Sky at the time). We considered a large number of languages but ended up picking Dart because it was the best fit (see the Flutter FAQ for more details). We then had to learn Dart and made friends with the Dart team, with whom we now work very closely.
Show HN: I've Built a IPTV Player for iOS
Hello everyone at HN, my name is Tiago, and I developed an iOS app for watching IPTV movies, Movie Stream.

Right now I’m at version 6.0, and the app includes features like Search, Playlist Refresh, iCloud Sync, Picture-in-Picture & Airplay Support.

https://moviesstreamapp.com

The app is completely free, if you like (and only if you want) you can donate inside the app to support future development. I’m working by myself on the project since the beginning of this year.

Do want to help me shaping the future development?

There is no other API to switch to, as Google controls the protocol, no open standard exists to replicate the Nest API server, and Nest devices don’t support targeting a self hosted API.

Imagine I ask the voting machine to give me 100 sealed envelopes with "Alice" written in them and 100 sealed envelopes with "Bob" written in them. I open and destroy 199 of them, verify that Alice votes are Alice votes and Bob votes are Bob votes. I then walk out of the voting booth with a sealed Alice envelope, then deposit it into the ballot box.

That's the "verifiable" step in here.

The only way for you to know who I voted for is if you were in that booth with me.

However that rule has never helped me use CyanogenMod/LineageOS etc because:

Galaxy Nexus: Screen burn in (OLED blue) and obsoleted OMAP processor so didn't update, then gave to friend's kid.

Nexus 10: Kept at factory 5.1.1 for testing at work. Then tried updating this year but flash partition was too small to install gApps.

Nexus 7: Gave to family member who updated it, but it then died from slow flash hardware issue.

Nexus 5: broken frame (leading to common hardware faults) - no point updating.

Nexus 5X: Never used much - can't use as daily driver due to perceived risk of boot looping - so it is sitting in drawer at work.

Moto G1: Gave away a long time ago

Moto G3: Broken by teenager

Moto G3: Gave to friend (still in use - but can't unlock G3 any more)

Moto G4: Was a present to a friend (still in use by them, they not likely to update or want update)

Edit: Some of the devices were bought cheaply (second hand) and more than one device was paid for by work as we always need recent Android devices to test App releases on.

An article about CA taxes always has to include someone from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. This is the wonderful group that brought us Prop 13 and would turn us into Alabama if they had their way. Howard Jarvis stands for everything bad in CA. Gentrification, HOAs, paranoid city councils, and why the schools are so hit-or-miss. I wish journalists would let them fade away like Mr. Jarvis's acting career.
Relying on native components means that differences in platforms get propagated up into application developer land. Consider: Two "native" components have slightly different behaviours. Therefore, the framework also implicitly has two slightly different behaviours. Therefore, the developer using the framework has to cater for two slightly different behaviours. This is where the real pain of cross platform development happens, and the reason it has such a bad rep.

By bypassing the target environment's native controls, they're paying more heavily in render code, but they're getting rid of all of that propagation of pain to higher up the development stack. As a developer, that's a cost I'm willing to pay.

Our current plan is to support the complete feature set while still supporting places with connectivity around 5Mbit/s. We are still in very early stages (we only just put out the tech preview today!) but we have some confidence that this is possible. Personally I'm more worried about the performance of layout animations (e.g. resizing paragraphs) than about download size, but again, it's early days still.
I would personally pick paper for single use cups. It is not perfect, still quite resource intensive to make and still unlikely to be recycled properly. But they can at least be sustained through sustainable forestry and the waste will degrade in the most likely places it will end up.

It certainly has nothing to do with democracy, and intended to solve exactly one problem: Microsoft's need to increase revenue through sweet gov't funded contracts. Let's not be fooled by opensourced code, once the idea is sold to politicians, and media, someone should be contracted to implement this useless staff. And who's this going to be? Not hard to guess.
Also please consider how many seconds will it take for a cheap Android phone to parse 5 Mb of JS (and how much memory it would take after parsing, which can be up to 10 times more that original code size). I think it can become much more than 8 seconds, and during parsing the browser will likely become unresponsive.

So far the one I’ve been most happy with is IKEA Trådfri.

It costs roughly half of the comparable Phillips hue offering, but still delivers on any aspect I care about.

Works 100% locally, uses standard Zigbee (non-WiFi) networking. No cloud required.

Supports HomeKit, Alexa, google assistant, not to mention Home Assistant.

More importantly, it supports other vendor’s Zigbee devices (like Hue) and supports working with other Zigbee controllers than IKEA’s own.

Also certified non-shit by kernel-hacker Matthew Garret[1].

Nobody can shut me out of this purchase. This is actually my hardware.
