I disagree, based on my experience in both small and large organisations, nothing at all beats a developer spending a half-day or a day sitting with an end user saying “show me what you are doing, or trying to do”. And making copious notes then going away and programming it.

Very few organisations are willing to work like this because nearly all project- and middle-management would be out of jobs. The management class will always strive to protect itself and its members from the workers (both end-users and devs).

You should read Bill Gates' "The Road Ahead"[1] from 1995 before dismissing things so readily out of hand. It's been a few years since I read it but he describes the setup in detail. It was incredibly complex even by today's standards - and this was 30 years ago!

... imagine this the other way. Imagine that "@rulesObeyer" is the one with the agenda. Imagine RO is paid by a competitor to spread misinformation and "stir the pot", then re-read the thread. Suddenly RO seems incapable of reason or adapting in the face of clear evidence against its assertions. It makes for a fun read.

There are plenty of firms that don't do paid ads or any sort of data-based retargeting of users (think content firms), but the problem likely is that without some sort of analytics, it will be really hard for them to gauge the impact of their work.

For example, a content firm wouldn't need user data to write a blogpost for your company, but they would need some sort of event tracking to measure how many signups came from users who discovered your company via the blogpost.

Figuring out a way to setup attribution and basic event tracking without being invasive or sharing user data with third parties would probably make it easier to find a firm.

Simplistic terms don't advance your point. If you do have a point oversimplification only obscures it. Imperialism is neither good nor bad. Only specific acts and actors can be judged as such.

The British empire could be credited for ending slavery. It is the promulgation of liberal western values allows us the context to condemn the barbarity of the past.

History is a process. It seems nonsensical to presume to judge the pioneers of our civilization (by modern standards) while enjoying the benefits they provided.

The popular view of western guilt smacks of condescending nobelesse oblige. At what point does it become purely selfish? Decolonized regions won't put the past behind them as long as they are incentivized not to.

"...detractors of Western imperialism hijack the ideas of Western civilization and crash them into a ditch."

This article made me think of your comment.
The consensus from public easily googleable sources seems to be the "Messmer plan", e.g. https://energytransition.org/2015/03/french-nuclear-power-hi... ; an ambitious goal to de-oil the economy entirely! It doesn't appear that CO2 entered into the picture at all.

The combination of factors was

- 1973 oil crisis

- almost no domestic oil production, small domestic gas and coal

- pre-existing military nuclear programme

- strong engineering culture and availability of skills

- strong statist/dirigiste culture of state megaprojects

- enough anti-Americanism to not just buy it in from Westinghouse

The UK didn't go down this path because of North Sea oil and anti-statist Thatcherism, along with a classic British failure to do sui generis advanced technology properly (AGR). Germany probably didn't go down this path due to coal lobbying. Few other countries had any nuclear experience in weapons programs, and the anti-proliferation concerns made it hard for them to do so in the 80s (e.g. Iraq built one and Israel blew it up, https://fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/facility/osiraq.htm )

Yes to both. In fact it inverted before every single crash in recorded history and there has been a crash every single time it did happen.

The complication is that sometimes it's years before the crash occurs. Largely due to government deficit spending offsetting and delaying the crash.

It was partly organizational imho. Oftentimes non mobile teams would write C++ modules. After writing the module, that team would refocus on server but the module would have remaining hard to find bugs (sometimes due to lack of mobile expertise) or could just use additional love and care. Sometimes these modules needing care and attention were even written by mobile specific teams. These were also due to insufficient organizational attention.

The thing about nuclear is that it has a major "told you so" moment since if we adopted it 50 or so years ago we would have been not burning as much coal for all of those years. It /is/ better than coal environmentally. Ironically even several exclusion zones from major fuck ups would keep the area purer than blanketing it with coal exhaust and lesser tailings than the sheer bulk of coal mining.

Hyderabad was a land locked pocket, and one of the conditions of partition was states aligning with Pakistan to be contiguous. How is Hyderabad contiguous to Pakistan? Junagadh claimed to be contiguous to Pakistan through bullshit reasoning of sea. So viability of these pockets was not feasible. India took over Goa the same way too. But Pakistan invaded Balochistan and Kashmir and forcibly occupied these territories, so it is not 'exactly the same things'. BTW, Pakistan did try to send weapons to Hyderabad through America.

First condition of plebiscite is withdrawal of Pakistani forces from occupied territories, 73 years and still waiting. India doesn't allow UN observers because they have outlived their utility, as LoC has been codified between Pakistan and India through Simla Agreement in 1971.

I don't understand why someone at Dropbox's size and scale would go after C++ on mobile and blaze their own trail, when its probably more pragmatic to go native.

With that being said, I worked for a firm that extended the life of old ERP systems and we had to do a few mobile apps, we chose Xamarin because we were a shop of 7ish devs that had many projects to maintain and the cost of code sharing and familiarity with C# were our driving factors. It was a trade off most definitely but it was a pragmatic choice as well.

If you are capable of hiring more developers who know Java or Obj-C and can allow them to do only mobile development then its worth it to go native.

But, if you are a small company and know that Java,C# and Obj-C, C# developers are a little bit hard to find (depending on your developer market) then its probably more cost effective to go Xamarin or any other cross-platform code sharing model.

In the end its all about pragmatism.

> Why can Japan and China do it? Are their politicians better than Euro-crats?

They both are individual countries, so they don't face that problem.

> How can we put pressure on EU to do this despite high cost?

If you tax air-lines first, and then use the money to build an alternative, even in the most optimistic scenario, you'll end up in a situation where long-distance travels become substantially more expensive at least for a few years. Climate activists claim that long-distance travels are not a human right, but ironically, free movement is one of the core values of the EU. And making travels more expensive would exclude more people than today from exercising their right as a EU citizen.

The only realistic option to make the switch from air to train a meaningful option for long-distance travels, would be to 'internalize' the environmental costs, i.e. a CO2 tax (or certificates). However, to calculate this in a fair manner, this would become so high, that you would face a tremendous economical recession.

To me, it never made sense to spend so much resources (brain, time and money) to reduce emissions, because we cannot go to zero and we have already polluted the planet. Wouldn't it be wiser to spend all this money to "repair" the damage we've already done? Maybe solar panels with artificial photo synthesis? Or GMOs with a higher rate of carbon storage?

Whether this article is a puff piece, i think is less important (though it sure seems it to me). The important aspect here is that for some people GPS is failing them; and to me it's an UI/UX problem.

For example...Why do developers use text names for variables in their programs, and why don't they just use binary - which are clearly more precise? </sarcasm>

If this is in fact a proprietary thing, then I really dislike that. If something is actually, supposedly this useful, then it should be public domain. However, I'll give credit to the founders of what3words for attempting to solve an issue that they ran into (to scratch their itch as it were). Would "fixing" the delivery issue with the government service (postal service in the original case) be the appropriate solution? Would better UI for current GPS apps be another solution? Maybe, probably...But the founders took a hypothesis and ran with it to test it out; kudos to them for that. Clearly, it is working for some people. While no one might argue for the benefits of precision that conventional GPS coordinates bring, what is clear - in real life - is that some people could benefit from an alternative UI for describing their location.

So, a puff piece, yeah sure; it seems it to me. Nifty and novel concept for using an alternative "language" for indicating and describing location; yep. Is it great? I guess we'll see. Does it have to be a whole, different thing, or can it be a layer on top of legacy GPS? Who knows?

Do YOU have a better alternative???
