Don't think it is that simple for a couple of reasons:

1) Without GMS, developers will need to fork their apps and reimplement everything they use Play services for today. That's non-trvial and I suspect a substantial number of developers would not be willing to do this.

2) Even if Huawei developed their own app store, IAP framework, etc, as I understand it the order in the US prevents Huawei from entering into any new business with US companies without a license. So, does that mean that FB, Twitter, et all would be prohibited from listing their apps? I believe so.

> 1. You can't play a torrented file until the download is 100% complete. (Well, maybe 95% complete, depending on how tolerant you and your software are when it comes to malformed files)

Theoretically, yes. But in practice, especially with "modern"/high-speed internet, I can open my torrent in VLC after the first few MB are present on my computer and read the entire file as it comes in, without me the user encountering stuttering or buffering of any kind.

In effect, from the user's perspective, you're streaming the torrent - without running into the often present decrease in quality from the "traditional" stream's encoding.
It's not about the job.

There are some bad organizations, but overall most are not incompetent behemoths. Yes a little website for a startup that gets a few thousand people doing trivial things is technologically much more advanced. But when you get involved with millions of customers are lots of complexities that make everything complicated.
I started the process early senior year of HS(fr: début de terminal) with standard tests. I was a soccer player back home so I was looking for a combo of strong academics and decent soccer program. I had an agent sending videos of my games to different coaches, I received a few offers, then picked the best soccer / academics / scholarship.

This process is both very exciting and stressing. It is very different once you actually get on campus for the first time and realize that despite being a western country, the culture in the US is very different. Adapting to that is important. Then after a few years, the most challening part of your adaption imo is to resolve your adopted culture with the culture you grew up with.
A nice setup is something I'm really, really looking forward to once my student life is over. So I can't upvote this, viewing it makes me too sad :'(
A lot of software that should reasonably be desktop is now web only. I wanted to download a copy of http://8bitworkshop.com so my son could try it at home where we don't have internet, but there is no download button. I could download the source code and run it locally via NPM, but that requires an internet connection to install properly.

I get why companies are doing this, they want easier cross platform, easier deployability of updates, easier to find devs who know the toolchain, easier to make it work on mobile. Everything's easier with the web, I guess. But is it worth it?
What the article suggests is that it didn't throw away the frame, it simply never had the complete frame that you're seeking to because it was in-between full frames.

That's why they have been doing these clinical trial studies on real patients in helping them to treat their PTSD. Last I read the results have been very positive and it is now currently at Phase 3.

The negative stories we often heard from the news most likely resulted from the unknown substances that often got mixed into the drug. This was possible precisely because of the fact that MDMA is still illegal and unregulated. When you leave such a profitable business open in the wild like that, greedy criminals are free to commit any types of harmful actions with disregard to other people's health, just to achieve their next target profit level. Under such environment and conditions, of course it's normal that all we would hear about are just bad stories. Over time this has established a somewhat false negative feedback loop that makes it difficult for the public to break away from or be rightly informed.

At least the idea of just being open and willing to try will pave the way for more of future researches. There is no denying MDMA DOES provide many benefits in some ways. If our brain reacts to the drug by producing happy chemicals and positive feelings then naturally it must benefit us human to some degree. In my opinion this is simply the law of nature and how our universe works. Similar to as when you consuming something bad or not good for your health, your body will attempt to signal by making you either sick, vomiting out, or just feeling overall terrible.

Of course just like everything in life, MDMA does carry some negative properties as well. Perhaps further researches will allow new discoveries and enable combinations of different drugs in order to help lessen its negative side effects. However, that would only be possible if more people are willing to open their mind first. This is a great start and an inflection point.

This bill is even worse than warning pollution. It has carve outs for some of the most unhealthy drinks, so the warnings would be intentionally misleading.

It reminds me of the Real(TM) milk brand. They spent decades lobbying against organic dairy and specialty cheese producers, so the label is now synonymous with “processed fake crap”, at least in my mind.

I’m sure some reputable dairy producers in the US apply the Real logo to their product, but I don’t give their products a second glance at the store.

It's a huge deal because consumers will have a host of other Android alternatives in competitors where they won't have to deal with "serviceable" open source alternatives.

Additionally, Huawei has has done so well because the OS and consumer experience is generally the same across Android, so consumers choose based on hardware. Now Huawei will have to compete not only in hardware (their main advantage), but also in software.
Dpends what you mean by optimising for engagement. Taking games as an example, that could theoretically mean multiple things:

1. That you're making a really good game with a compelling core gameplay loop that keeps people coming back because of how enjoyable it is to play, and which has few if any awkward barriers in the UX department. That's fine, and I'd say it's perfectly ethical.

2. On the other hand, if you're making a manipulative, pay to win, lootbox and microtransaction stuffed piece of crap (like many mobile games) and its only optimised for engagement in the sense its trying to pressure users to keep playing, then no, that probably wouldn't be ethical.

So it depends really. A well designed, usable system that people want to keep using because of how much easier it makes their life/how much more fun it is to play around with is fine, but one which tries to manipulate them with dark patterns and psychological tricks is not.

The upper end of the market is still contracts all the way down. My company has around 250 employees and every single service we use, software and otherwise, is a negotiated old school contract.

The market price isn't what most companies pay. If you pay significant amounts to Amazon (maybe 1 employee salary worth) you're screwing yourself if you don't negotiate lower rates

Edit: Just asked the corporate overlords. It's actually against our finance rules to pay for any recurring service charge without a negotiated contract.
>Shouldn’t western governments be spending more time supporting destabilizing efforts in authoritarian countries?

No? That's for the people of the country to do, not foreign powers. There has never in history been a government that hasn't fallen to its own people. There also isn't an example of US or Western imperialist forces 'destabilizing' that has lead to better conditions for the people of that country. Libya has open slave trade right now while people die with arm floaties crossing the Mediterranean.
Woah woah woah. I get it not everyone is an expert on this subject, but what makes you say it's not a clone? It looks pretty similar to me. Clicker Heros is a well known game in this genre. One look, and you would know immediately "this is a clone of Clicker Heros". Lots of games copy it, piecemeal or whole horse.

Maybe that's irrelevant and maybe not. But I don't think you can simply dismiss it.

So yes, any new military service branch is going to have overhead. But the Air Force already provides the structure and overhead for the space initiatives

The Space Force is more about formalizing (and potentially funding) this branch of the AF separately from the main budget of the AF. There will still be a little additional overhead, but not really like you're implying.

This is addressed in the second to last paragraph:

> The effort to manufacture synthetic diamond provided substantial motivation for the development of high-pressure methods. Today, however, synthetic diamonds are grown using a low-pressure technique called chemical-vapour deposition. Optimistically, it might eventually be possible to use similar low-pressure methods to produce metastable superconducting compounds that are initially discovered at high pressure.
Company homonyms are an issue, albeit a US specific one. The industry is looking at verifying trademarks, which tend to be monopolies.

If it's any consolation, not much more makes it to the talented developers in commercial products, either. It mainly ends up going to executives and sales.

>They do charge based on CPM which is why they can continue charging you for serving higher and higher frequencies to the same audience.

They charge based on reach and will serve your ad to users as many times as they want until they illicit a reaction. There is some proprietary algo at work to determine how your spend gets distributed.

How do we know this? If my paid post gets a good response, it gets free impressions. If my paid post gets poor response, it gets few impressions and I get a warning about the post.

Facebook is incentivizing good content, and it's not charging you per impression. Impressions definitely come into play, but what is more important is users, frequency, and engagement. Unlike other platforms.

Any time you do a generalization, you are wrong.
However, sometimes you want to maximize protein per a meal's calories. Some things may seem 'cheap' but to maximize protein with those items you will blow out the calories chart. For example, it's better to rely on cottage cheese for protein instead of flour, despite the monetary cost looking favorable for the latter -- because the former will have your protein needs met with a smaller number of total calories, preventing you from gaining fat mass, assuming the rest of your diet follows similar reasoning.

Commercial lunar landers are fully part of the lunar exploration / habitation plan. I sincerely doubt NASA will be building a custom lander any time soon. What may get funded is novel rover types or instrument payloads on the commercial space taxi industry (which everyone I know is quite enthusiastic about, by the way). The vast majority of space launch, lift, transport, etc tech is mostly commercially made, ranging from pure COTS to custom-built. The emerging space-lift / space-logistics industry may make NASA missions significantly more cost effective.

"conservative facebook user in their 50s+"

I have two additional theories for why the boomers are more prone to spreading fake news.

Maturity

Every person, demographic adopting a new media has to go through the whole maturity cycle anew. We've all been there. (For me it was CompuServe, BIX, FidoNet.) We've always had trolls, memes, jokes etc. So netiquette and its predecessors emerge. It takes a while for the novelty to wear off, cooler heads to prevail.

Entertainment Becomes Reality

Boomers are bored. One article I read quoted a few boomer trolls who regarded fake news as funny, a way to pass the time. No different than the supermarket tabloids.

--

Alas.

Like when the AOL noob tsunami flooded the web, obliterating the indigenous culture, there's a huge cohort of boomers adopting Facebook. Fed and supported by boomerbots, of course, they're having an outsized impact.

More sadly, I fear most boomers are no longer teachable, more so as they age. So they're not likely to adapt or develop their own netiquette. I've all but stopped talking politics with my older relatives. Because they have no memory of prior discussions. Just like Groundhog Day.

Lastly, how we talk changes how we think. Propaganda works. This is more than confirmation bias feedback loops (mentioned elsewhere). This is something like brainwashing. My mom's boyfriend got her watching Fox News and cable news. She's transmuted from educated, progressive, liberated powerful woman (earned a masters degree, marched in DC to support abortion rights) to almost complete dittohead. This "captured by a cult" story is sadly common.

--

The only remedy I can think of is turn off their TVs, log them off facebook. Keep them distracted with knitting, puppies, and church.

My elders are now basically shut ins. Plugged into the TV. They'll happily watch happy shows, like Antique Roadshow, nature shows, cooking.

But when the nontoxic programming ends, they go back to the default channels of Fox News, CNN, and manufactured outrage.

I tried to figure out how to reprogram their TVs, cable boxes to exclude the toxic stuff.

But what's needed is an eldercare streaming TV apps. Like parental controls, but for our parents instead of our kids.
