I build a small ionic app when it was based on angularjs with dependency on Cordova and later moved to webview. I didn't like the experience and personally I still prefer Python syntax over Javascript, so that was another factor. Now I think IONIC has moved to web components using stencil.js as the base. Web Components is still an evolving standard and will still take time to gain traction, moreover the available documentation and help is limited.

So if you compare ionic vs flutter I will still go with flutter given it generate binary app store package file by compiling dart code into native platform code. But given choice between native vs flutter I think except few use cases native still makes more sense.
Thanks.
So the features we see now will always be free or might some of them change to paid only?
Is it just me or now everytime the word shooting is mentioned I always think a mass shooting and more bad news ?

> Isn't straw man.

Yes, it is. Specifically, it's most commonly a strawman applied to people who disagree with the speakers’ preferred methods of enforcing immigration law while still supporting the principle of limited legal immigration. As you demonstrate.

> Kamala Harris has called for defacto open borders

No, she hasn't. She's called for decriminalizing crossing outside of designated border crossings (not “crossing illegally”, as there are other illegal crossings—such as crossing at a designated border crossing with false documentation—which is also criminal and she has not called for decriminalizing), but also for continuing to enforce immigration law with civil rather than criminal process (which includes continued use of deportation, which is itself a civil rather than criminal sanction.) This is not open borders, de facto or otherwise.

> same with Julian Castro.

Well, it's the same in that the claim is also not true of Castro, who explicitly called for monitoring and retaining civil penalties for illegal entry and presence including the selective use of deportation, alongside supporting decriminalization of crossing outside designated crossings and assuring that asylum seekers get the hearings they are entitled to under the law.

> She literally said during the debate no one gets deported

No, she literally did not.

> and crossing illegally would be a civil penalty, aka jay walking ticket.

Civil process includes sanctions much more severe than jay walking tickets, including deportation.
All of the above. More Americans puts us in a better position to compete against China and India, and we can't expect our technological superiority to give us an edge forever. My view is of course biased, but I sincerely believe the world would be a crueler place were Chinese culture and military power to replace American cultural popularity and military power.

What specifically isn't elegant about Dart in your opinion? Seems like a perfectly good language to me, and although it's nothing fancy, it does have a bit of sugar, and a solid standard library. I also like how codegen and static analysis are so accessible through the build libraries.

It's evolving pretty quickly, too. Non-nullable by default is coming up, along with extension methods, FFI. Possibly implicit conversions.

I've been working with Flutter/Dart for the past 8 months or so, and I have to say...I'm pretty into it.
Wassenaar Agreement has export controls on surveillance tools but it's very loose and not legally binding. China is not a member.
This isn't that unusual, many companies with ESPP's and options offer loans to their normal employees to buy stock or exercise their options.

This is pretty much the same like when a company offers an employee share purchasing program where you can buy say $20,000 worth of restricted stock within the allotted time window which is usually a few weeks but your company then spreads the payment over 6-12 months by deducting your pay each month.

Companies also offer a similar service when you have options vesting they offer to pay the tax for you that month and spread it out over several months so you won't have to immediately convert some of the shares you get to pay for exercising the option.

Just for reference my US employer in the UK offers this, several other companies in the UK i worked for also offered similar services.

Companies here offer loans all the time including for things like seasonal train tickets (some forfeit the loan and you have to pay just the tax value on it after a year of employment for train passes) and other large expenses which are work related.
Quick tip, the sign up doesn't trim emails and validates them against some rule that fails on 'blah@blah.com '. I strongly suggest not validating emails except by simply trying to send one, it's the worst case to lose an user that's willing to register due to a corner case your regex missed.

This is not really my area of expertise, and it's unclear whether you're basing this comment upon an actual analysis or it's just a quick remark?

I was trying to explain how the bond rates can go so low.

The real-estate lenders have rigid policies in place as for who can get a loan.

Of course, enough correlated failures, and the system goes down.

But there was a crashing housing bubble in Denmark too in 2008/2009, and to the best of my knowledge none of real-estate lenders went down, although they did increase their fees to cover losses. Banks were crashing, though, until the bailouts started.

I personally think that the overall system would be more healthy if the real-estate lenders and banks in general did not protect their investors against losses, but just passed them on so you avoid this sure-everything-is-fine until it crashes. But again I don't know much about the banking world. Maybe that idea is too complicated.
With enough IoT, you may not be able to get electricity without the internet either.

Google forked WebKit (itself a fork of KDE Konqueror's KHTML). Blink is from 2013. [1]

I wonder how source incompatible these are? Is it difficult to backport? Because KHTML was LGPL the source must remain available. Or is it just that these are API incompatible?

Evan Morris, author of "The Word Detective" column that used to run in papers and alt weeklies, used to perennially comment that acronyms in English were quite rare until roughly WW1-WW2, and as such etymologies involving them ("to insure promptness", "port out starboard home", etc.) are virtually always false.

More to the point, TFA lays out various evidence why this particular theory is unlikely.

if you are a publisher and have actual content humans care about, ditch the ad networks and start selling your pixels directly to relevant advertisers.

True, but I was primarily thinking of immigration from Western nations like Mexico and even Europe. It's surprisingly hard for, say, a British person to move permanently to the US. I'd like to see that changed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Mobile_Location#Histo...:

”AML was developed in the United Kingdom by British Telecom, EE Limited, and HTC as a solution to problematic caller location in emergencies. When a person in distress calls the emergency services with a smart-phone where AML is enabled, the telephone automatically activates its location service to establish its position and sends this information to the emergency services via an SMS.[3] The services uses either a global navigation satellite system or WiFi depending on which one is better at the given moment”

This works, will shortly be required in the EU, but requires changes to your phone’s software and a change in the law (implicitly sharing your location is a privacy invasion)

It also still may be less accurate than you putting a marker on the map (but then, how good are people in distress in placing such a marker?)
Hi Dan, thanks for the heads up. I agree I could have worded the flagged posts more positive. I've attempted to improve this after you posted your warning. Let me know if you still have concerns. Thanks!
It seems to me that the best way to counter this attack is to not accept ID photographs from the public, but instead require a government officer to photograph the person applying for ID.

And if every website becomes an app because that's the only way to make money, the distributed, decentralize web dies in favor of one giant app store.

Is that what you want? Most of human culture behind app based paywalls? No more archive.org content to preserve. Micropayments everywhere?

And then you will have actors who build their own dedicated hardware (like e.g. BitMain did for BitCoin mining) that is on par with state level actors -- many of which are likely now comparable to the NSA.

A little farther, you'll have services where you bring your own message ("really really mine. I just forgot the encryption key!"), pay, and get a decryption.

There is no way to select who the encryption is "weak" for and who it is "strong" for, except with a backdoor (e.g. DUAL_DRBG, or backdooring an RSA private key generation so the public key includes an encrypted version of the seed used for the private key) -- but a backdoor, once open, is open for everyone.
Microsoft really ought to develop their own worm, and use it to patch the flaw.

They can release it on the same day as the regular updates, and scan the whole IPv4 address space every hour.

That way, the pool of unpatched machines will be so tiny it isn't worth evil people trying to exploit it.
When I looked at the docs it seemed a lot of the features used to be there but have now been removed, but I didn't spend much time on it.

I signed up and tried to skip adding a Gmail account but it wouldn't allow me. I really don't want to just dump all contacts into an app like this because I don't really use Gmail as my contact repository and there might be stuff in there I just don't want to see. I might trigger myself. And I would rather give it a spin before committing a load of my real info.

I instead used an alt which doesn't get much use. No contacts. Seems to work fine, why couldn't I just go with no contacts in the first place?

I added a contact manually and...

No pic? I can't upload a face? I'm visual. And what if I wanted to use this as my black book? I want pics! ;)

Nice effort but I'll need to hang on the sidelines a bit. Congrats on the launch!

I also found another article about Figure8 that has some quotes: https://www.finanzen.ch/nachrichten/aktien/museum-of-ice-cre...

> "We created Figure8 to chart the future of how Millennials and Gen Z will want to spend their time. Over the past 3 years building Museum of Ice Cream, we have learned so much from our guests and gained endless insight. Globalization and technology have made the world smaller, yet people are more lonely than ever," said Maryellis Bunn, 27-year-old Co-Founder of Figure8 and Museum of Ice Cream. "I want to inspire people around the world with what I call experiums, emotional and transformative moments and spaces for people to reconnect with themselves and those around them."

> "Museum of Ice Cream receives an overwhelming amount of requests from companies asking us to design branded experiums for them," said Manish Vora, Co-Founder of Figure8. "Now we can answer this need and more. Figure8 will expand internationally, rolling out a new Museum of Ice Cream location each quarter while also launching new Figure8 brands and working on commissioned special projects."
Not only is that a lot of work, as you mentioned, but it is very volatile and a constant hustle to find the right products at the right price.
And as soon as you find a good product to sell at good margins, you have to be moving to the next product because a wave of sellers, both legit and counterfeit will soon move in and start to encroach on your margins.

Even the sources of auctions are a constant whack a mole. Any consistent auction source soon gets overrun with a constant supply of newbie buyers that overpay for anything and everything just to try and make their trip worth it.

I used to frequent postal auctions for products to resell. Then the droves of bloggers and wantrepreneurs started moving in.

I stopped going when people started bidding up the price of MacBooks of unknown provenance to higher than retail.

You keep thinking, well these guys are going to lose their shirts and never come back. They don't come back. But 4 more will take their place the next month.

Tumblr was one of the first platforms I felt had actively hostile UI/UX The ephemeral nature of the reblog, the dashboard awfulness, the impossibility of navigating thousands of likes/"comments"/... under a popular post.

Funny, I too stopped using C++ around 2011. Recently I had to delve into Swift and learn it with great urgency... then my project changed direction toward C++ and Qt.

I find the '14 and '17 additions vastly improve C++ and in fact added things that I had just come to appreciate in Swift. So don't be too put off; learning the new stuff will help you if you need to adopt a more-recent language too.
we're least aware of what our minds do best

I'm not sure we are aware of anything.

If you ask me:

How much is 2x3?

I might think:

That's easy! I just have to imagine 3 stones.
Then I imagine two piles of 3 stones.
Then I count all those stones. 6!

But how did I came up with that? How did I even figure out what the question is about? It's all unconscious and so far we have no clue how to program a system that grasp even these type of easy questions.

It could be a nice approach to AI to try and breed (via AI/Genetic Algorithms/Whatever) a system that can solve math questions, independent on how they are phrased.

Commodore was still making good revenue up to 1993 despite peddling 7 year old designs. Firing all good engineers, cutting costs to the bone and selling outdated, but cheap to manufacture technology was a fantastic short term strategy. Surprisingly 1991 was the second best year by revenue, Commodore was already a walking corpse by then.

This is super common with Mercedes. They put a lot of whiz bang features into their eclass. Some, Like night vision camera heads up diaplay, don't take off, others trickle down and are or will be everywhere now like side curtain airbags or Lane keeping assist.

If you flip it on its head though, why is Mercedes only protecting people who pays 3-10x the price for their car for what in this case is just a software fix? Same with other cars and pre-collision breaking (vs a warning noise).

But you do need some features to justify that price tag.

One might liken it to how drug companies are charging $1M+ for new treatments and slowly cutting the cost as they walk the economic supply demand curve.
This is what I'm really excited about with the future of shopping. No more lazy, minimal effort shops that focus their resources on rudely getting in your face with obnoxious ads that you have no choice but to consume. Stores that behave like that these days go bankrupt due to superior online stores.

Now, in-person shops actually have to be a special experience. That's the economy we live in.

Seeking Tech/CTO Cofounder in Sydney
Story Antics is an exciting new startup helping people create unique personalised children’s books. Founded in July 2019 and with presales. I have a track record as a successful entrepreneur who makes things happen. Since Story Antics started I pitched for $100k in investment with a tech cofounder which I got, but unfortunately working with the tech cofounder didn’t work out + the funding was lost. I’m looking for a new tech cofounder to help me build this fabulous startup.
Story Antics is a site that will help people create a book – they get to choose the story, choose the characters, change the text, write a dedication page and either save the book as an ebook to read later or get a copy of the book printed + sent.
The goal is to build an MVP to launch in Oct/Nov then at the start of 2020 recruit a tech team which you will lead to build the product out.
Skills Needed
- React/view Developer
- Familiar with HTML canvas
- A history of delivering single page apps
- Experience with Sagas, react-router, HMTL, CSS, Javascript
Ideally you will have
- Portfolio on Github
- An interest in children’s books (we like to read a book a day)
- A passion to grow a startup
- Willingness to do what is takes to get the business going
- Willingness to learn – we can outsource the backend but at the same time
I am looking for someone who wants to work with me growing Story Antics into a $100m business, not just sit in the corner + code
Remuneration
Initially, the salary will be very low (to set expectations) + equity will be offered on a vesting plan over 4 years. Once Story Antics starts making money salaries will be increased. I'm looking for someone to come on full time for 2 weeks without pay as a trial period. After this time, we can discuss employment options and hopefully secure funding
