Don't forget that Customs started asking about account names for social media. Trying to police a private group goes even further than that.

But at least it lends validity to the social media account request. ;)

> You're right that it's more options, but it's also one more box a "competent JS dev" is expected to tick.

Is that really true? React and/or Angular is something I would expect. If one uses anything more exotic then one should have a "they'll figure it out on the job" attitude.

> But I also don't see why they couldn't have submitted a PR to react/angular/ember/meteor/vue.

Do you honestly believe one can just leave a "here's a full static compiler for X" at the doorstep of these projects with some expectation of it actually being accepted?

That would basically be an entirely separate program to be maintained alongside the runtime and any design considerations on either side will affect the other side.
I generally try to prevent large amounts of data from being automatically downloaded or uploaded, so I disable things like automatic git fetch (when working with a large repository), automatic cloud backups, automatic updates, etc. This configuration tends to occur organically over time as I encounter unexpected moments of device slowness and "fix" the problem by disabling the offending automation.
""What you’ve found goes beyond that: it suggests that even foreigners are subjected to such mass, and unlawful surveillance."" Pretty bold for them to call it unlawful in two places when it was not shown to be against that country's laws. Distasteful, yes. Unlawful? Hard to tell from just this article. Personally, I'm more worried about exported android devices.

When I was going to Venice for the first time one of my co-workers gave me one little advice "when you will go out of train station, go right not left" and it was a fantastic advice. Route to the left is main route to Piazza San Marco, it's almost always overcrowded, with a lot of shady sellers, lots of shops selling cheap, china made souvenirs etc. pretty much all the things that you most likely want to avoid. On top of that advice I am also adding my own: "get lost in Venice", just go in the other direction and I will guarantee you that in 5 minutes you will end up alone in a beautiful place with some small restaurant, seemingly waiting just for you. Venice is still beautiful and worth visiting, just don't spent so much time on visiting places from the guides, get lost and you will find gems that you wouldn't find otherwise.

Oh fine, I'll explain. The balloons are used as an offshore solar field that can gather energy even when cloudy.

These thin film solar balloons avoid the corrosion of the ocean because they are floating above the clouds, anchored to a ship below. A portion of the solar is used to generate more hydrogen.
I saw the guide linked to a recent indepth writeup on how the NPR Visuals Team developed the project page for their White Lies investigative podcast:

http://blog.apps.npr.org/2019/05/17/white-lies.html

An excerpt:

> In keeping with our hypothesis-driven design process, we started the project by identifying likely audiences for our digital experience, the contexts by which they’d come to the site (via a promo on social, etc.) and their expectations. With that audience exercise in mind, we decided on a few primary editorial goals for the project:

> - Provide a standalone narrative for people who only encounter the story on the web (and may or may not go on to subscribe to the podcast)

> - Intrigue readers and entice them to listen to the full podcast

> - Provide multimedia material that couldn’t fit into an audio-only experience

> - Introduce newcomers to the history surrounding the murder, including Bloody Sunday and the civil rights struggle

Seat belt laws came much later than cars. It used to be a personal decision to wear one or not. Same goes with drunk driving. Gambling is tightly regulated and controlled, although it used to not be. Strong and highly addictive drugs were sold in corner stores.

All of these conditions had a negative effect on society, but individually could be considered one's personal responsibility. The negative effect in aggregate was considered strong enough to have to regulate. People are social, and network effects of social media effects are strong. Seems like it fits a similar enough niche to warrant regulation.

I find myself torn when it comes to how the Chinese are handling Muslims and the Islamic religion in general. One one hand, I realize the religion is dangerous and pervasive. On the other hand I want people to be able to believe what they want to believe and practice those beliefs; however, at what expense? If the practice of those beliefs leads to cultures where sharia law is the rule of law? Yes, very torn here.

EDIT: Prior to commenting here please do some research on your own about Islam; specifically, Sharia law: what it is and how it works, the laws themselves. Also, please note that I am not promoting one religion over any other. In my perfect world religion would not exist and we would all learn to get along without it.

The thing is, 2 MHz of bandwidth in VHF isn't going to help the vast majority of those use cases. The best you can hope for is low-rate telemetry in that band (since that 2 MHz is going to need to be shared with other UAV users, and the noise temperature at VHF is horrendous due to man-made interference).

Those use cases more properly belong in the microwave bands. Why aren't they going after allocation in L-band and S-band?

I also fail to understand why they need an globally coordinated allocation for this. Surely with GPS + cognitive radio approaches, a UAV could use a local allocation set aside for this purpose wherever it's operating?
Can you explain how you can predict something that will happen 4 hours ahead?

Correct, although there are a group of us looking to change this rule and the FCC seems receptive. It is the AARL that is a bit slow on this issue.

The original rules were drafted during the cold war, so times have changed. More importantly, we believe it is possible to not hide the intent and recepient of a message, while still protecting sensitive content using open source encryption methods.

There are cases that encryption is necessary to maintaining the integrity of emergency infrastructure. For example, remotely logging into a Mesh Node to change the operating frequencies, or sending HIPPA information.

If someone wanted to monitor RF packets they could see that I am logging into my administration console, but they don't really need to see the password.

But, until the FCC issues clear guidance on encryption on the microwave frequencies we do our best to disable it, although there are some emergency services that are literally only available over https, so some hams have decided to forge ahead in the hopes of forcing a rule change.

>The transformation of the US for largest importer to largest exporter

Largest producer, not largest exporter. It consumes about 20M barrels a day so it is still a net oil importer, although it is forecast to become a net exporter in 2022 [1]. The combination of the US and Canada OTOH is a net exporter, and has been for a few years, which means the US has been functionally independent from OPEC for a few years.

The US imports more heavy crude than it needs because it has a competitive advantage in refining it and in turn exports a lot of easier-to-refine light crude (the product of fracking). This this "swapping" of light crude for heavy could be discontinued with little disruption to the US economy. I.e., it does not mean much. I'm mentioning it only because someone who doesn't know about it might be misled by export statistics.

Also, calling the shale-oil boom a geopolitical tactic gives the impression that the boom was somehow planned or at least incentivized by the US government, which George Friedman says was not what happened. (Friedman used the shale boom in a talk to help make the point that many important developments occur in the US without significant involvement by the government.)

Yep — I added our details to it. I mentioned the problems we were having on Twitter and a Cloud Run PM came to help immediately! So I'm hopeful we'll get a resolution before long. (Aside from this glitch, Cloud Run has been great for us, and we're looking forward to it coming out of beta)
I have spoken too soon. Khronos lists the VideoCore VI as Vulkan compatible - latest Vulkan 1.1 compatible even [1]. Apparently compute shader support is being worked on for the VideoCore driver [2], which explains why it's missing from current reviews. Functionality to support compute shaders is not even present in current Mesa's git HEAD, let alone on Debian Buster's older Mesa version.

So it not having a modern featureset is a result of more driver issues. It's clear that this hardware has been a surprise release. Oh well, even then using an Nvidia Jetson gives you way better software support for graphics / compute tasks in the forseeable future.

Beautiful. I'd love to see something along the lines of the old plugin-based Google Earth API made available for this. I used to run an ocean conservation planning application using that API but had to migrate to 2d maps.
There has been a very long gap since the plugin deprecation and the release of the 3d-view in Google Maps where there has been no good 3d API offered by Google. I've been thinking "in the next 6 months they will probably release maps api v4" for about 3 years now...

You are partially misreading the graph, although with their poor presentation I can understand why.

Each bar on the graph looks to be a certain population count/census, and presumably they were conducted less often in the first part of the century. If you mouse over the bars on the graph they tell you what year they were conducted in.

-----------

The point here, is that in spite of the X-Axis being labeled as 1901-2018 (which would make you think the bars are even time intervals), they are not.

The population peak, while nearly at the left side is actually in 1951 according to the mouseover text. So the 1/3rd of 1950s population claim is accurate.

----------

> and though it rallied again to near 16th century levels in the 1970s, today there are just one third as many Venetians as 50 years ago.

I suspect this may be typo, as if you flip the 5 and 7 it would be about accurate. "...in the 1950s, today there are just one third as many Venetians as 70 years ago."

-----------

I agree that none of this inspires particular confidence in their editing or fact-checking.

That's unfortunate. Whenever I talk about rust with my coworkers, getting crates through IT comes up as a major deal breaker. I imagine cooperate approved "packs" would make it much easier for us rust hobbyists to get some projects started at work in rust.

Islam is not "dangerous and pervasive".
> if you were to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with everything a puritan found objectionable torn out of it, there wouldn't be a very sensible story left.

I think you misunderstand what religious people really want. Most people with "puritanical" objections to media content are just wanting it to be less explicit (i.e. left to the imagination) - not completely whitewashed from the story. After all, most religious texts themselves are rife with sex and murder; the acts themselves are usually not explicitly described in great detail, however.

"Lysanderoth's sword tore into Archibald's neck, spraying blood and chunks of windpipe across the battlefield and leaving him loudly gurgling as he slumped to the ground"

vs.

"Lysanderoth slew Archibald with the sword"

You can easily retain the story while eliminating the explicit aspect of the prose.

For example, I edited the entirety of the "A Song of Fire and Ice" series, and you may be interested to learn that eliminating every instance of explicit violence, sex, and profanity altered slightly less than 1% of the total word count of each book.

You are mentioning archeological sites in the desert. Venice is, or tries to be, a city.
What data does your suspicion derive from?
That post makes really interesting reading. I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so I'm hoping they have a lot of that stuff covered, but I guess I need to dive in and make sure.
No matter which framework you describe, this is an iterative approach and will be inefficient. The optimized (or, at least faster) way to handle this would be to have a unique ID attached to a cell and offer a direct callback to it via the data.

E.g. the symbol for "GOOG" stored in a hash table, when GOOG updates; call that hash directly: "symbols[symbol].update(data)" then re-render the cell DOM element.

No, my visa suggestion is very much serious.

Venice is a very popular destination spot. It should raise the barrier to entry accordingly, to attract fewer, more lucrative, tourists. It should also use the money to protect the residents of the city, and its buildings and monuments.
>So a couple of complicating factors with that. Typically maintainers of 'right-of-way' spaces (transportation corridors), are pretty heavy users of herbicide and manage in a manner which is fairly antagonistic towards plant/ animal life.

Here in Indiana many have signs that say something along the lines of "wildflowers, do not cut" so I would presume this means do not spray either.
It certainly seems to be dangerous and pervasive... based on it's history in our world.

I would recommend meeting an actual Muslim or reading less hysterical material about Islam. Even better perhaps, try reading about the history of Western imperialism in the middle East and a lot of the issues will suddenly become clearer.

Is the server running ten-year-old PHP & Java or did you manage to write code not affected by any language changes? I would expect some changes to be necessary for PHP 5.2 era code to keep working even on PHP 5.6.

> claims that was the state of the art in the middle 1990's

The blog does not claim this, full stop. The author says "before anyone I knew had an Internet connection", describing a personal experience, presumably during his childhood or teenage years ("I just had it open during the night, so that my parents could use the phone line during the day").

Why attack the author's personal experience and anecdotes?

fwiw, my own experience mirrors the author's exactly. In my area (Philly) there were around two hundred single-line hobbyist boards in the mid 90s, meaning ~1993-1997. It was not a "fading retro thing" quite yet, and as a teenager I didn't personally know any frequent internet users until at least 1996.

For historical context, Yahoo wasn't incorporated until 1995. Internet Explorer v1 was released in mid-1995 and wasn't even initially bundled with Windows 95. Widespread home internet adoption took a couple years, and (at least in my area) dial-up hobbyist BBS's only started to dwindle in the late 90s, while the commercial ones (many-line majorbbs/worldgroup systems) transitioned to become dial-up ISPs.

For another data point, I developed a couple BBS doorgames from 1999-2003. The BBS scene was definitely dying off at that point, but nonetheless I still sold several hundred registrations for my games during that period.
Yeah I guess they have a watchlist of social media accounts and look for anyone who applies with one of those accounts or is N steps away (where hopefully N <= 1, because anything else leads to madness).

China was never really not a police state of some sort. The ancient Imperial system broke down at the dawning of the modern era, and the Kuomintang "Republic of China" arose to replace it. It never managed to achieve either internal security or nationwide fair elections, and got into an extremely brutal fight with Communist insurgents. The communists were forced into retreat (Long March) during which most of them died - but the survivors, Mao among them, were inured to brutality. Eventually the Communists won on the mainland, leaving the Kuomintang in control of the island we now call Taiwan. The shooting stopped but the war is still officially in progress, hence all the weirdness around recognising Taiwan.

The key to Communism in the Maoist approach was absolute central control and the sweeping away of all obstacles; if you stood in the way of, objected to, or even were insufficiently enthusiastic about its plans you would be murdered.

Economic control was gradually loosened in the latter half of the 20th century, but political control remains tight.
