Our biggest worry is climate change in the near future. Especially water scarcity.

We're in for a bad time in the coming two decades unless we go on a militant drive to conserve water.

Unfortunately I don't see that happening. Agriculture is our biggest consumer of water by a huge margin, but telling farmers to not grow water reliant but lucrative crops like sugarcane is political suicide.

UP is water scarce, yet it is also one of the biggest producers of sugarcane. Go figure.

The iPad was never intended to be a desktop or laptop replacement; it was meant to invent a new niche for a computer with a "fileless" interface.

Expecting it to replace your development machine is probably not realistic.
As someone who works with EMG, the hype CTRL-Labs has been pushing regarding their tech is over-the-top ridiculous.

In short, it's a wearable band that uses electrodes to measure your forearm muscles' activity (electromyography, or EMG), coupled with accelerometers to capture motion. It's awesome technology, but contrary to all the "neuro" buzzword bingo, you can't "control computers with your mind" – you have to physically contract the muscles in your forearm, just like if you were using a mouse or keyboard. This video gives you an idea of what the device is actually capable of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD4efk8T2X4

Either way, it's exciting to see this kind of tech make it into the consumer space. Even if it doesn't catch on with AR/VR, it will have a lot of positive effects for researchers as well as for users with accessibility and mobility challenges.

Not sure what’s the CCK. Is it one of the dongles they sell with HDMI, SD Reader, and USB?

I first got excited that it can connect to USB webcams — I have some modded webcams I use as microscope — would be super useful if I could interface it with a camera app. But it didn’t work, last I tried. Are you aware of some way to do that? :)

The implications of what's been said here will on some level impact how EU law will apply to countries outside of the EU. Considering the right to be forgotten is closely married to the right to erasure, GDPR is in the crosshairs. Remember, GDPR was supposed to apply globally. It's clear from today's ruling, there's some doubt in the courts whether or not that is even responsible, let alone possible.

> Most people back then, whatever their religion was, had big families due to primitive contraceptive technology, high infant mortality, economic value of child labour, less years spent in education, lack of educational and career opportunities for women, etc.

It's interesting that religion has remained relevant for many whose lives today match what you describe. This isn't to blame religion for those problems, but it doubtless plays a role as both cause and effect, especially when the state is unable or unwilling to provide an adequate level of life security for the populace.
With respect to the legal ramifications of refusing service to a soldier? Yeah. It's pretty safe to say there would be a difference in response from the authorities.
There are no statistics that show properly prescribed and taken opioids have anything to do with the crisis.
The crisis comes from illegal usage and tainted substances.
Sadly this is not clear from the statistics without digging into them, and few do.

That prescription opioids are significantly reduced, yet the death rate continues to climb indicates the focus on the current solution is in the wrong place.

No one, including me, denies "pill selling" is a problem.
However that has zero to do with the people with Chronic Pain that are doing everything within the law.

Recently I was in India and certain circumstances connected me with a facility for the elderly run by an order of Catholic Nuns. I visited them quite a few times and while inside those closed gates there was this sense of reverence, peace, and shall I say holiness in many ways truly tangible. And when they bid me goodbye at the main gates, even as we stood there chatting a little while, the town or village people walking by outside the gates would smile and one of the sisters would call out to ask something about them. These sisters were involved with this outside world, and knew them and their needs so intimately! Yes, there is so much to understand about these areas of life us software engineering types seldom think about, it seems.
I recently read all of Philip K Dick's novels. Spotted typos in every book. I log typos in my goodreads reviews

Cmon man, even the articles you link support my statements.

Look, you are free to believe what you want. Belief is deeply personal.

However I can state factually that when demo happened it was obvious to me and others that this would harm the unorganized sector.

Same with GST.

At the same time I have regularly asked everyone, from people in the know to think tanks - where is govt spending going.

Know that the center and state govts have been spending heavily since the BJP came to power - hence the unprecedented transfer of funds from public entities to the center, or the reduction of funding to NGOs in favor of Govt CSR initiatives.

This means that GDP has been propped up by govt spending all these years.

Taxes are not a sufficient issue, And I personally oversaw a transition to a new engine regime in my previous firm whose primary item was engine driven - NONE Of that leads to today’s scenario.

You want to believe - feel free. But the subject matter here is not about beliefs, it’s about facts as best stated in that article:

>Almost all these economic indicators suggest that we are well into an economic slowdown, and it can possibly get worse from here. The irony is that this slowdown seems to be obvious to everyone except the government. The question this leaves us with is, how do you solve a problem without acknowledging it first?

PS: if you, an Econ neophyte we’re aware that the culmination of all these measures would result in a slow Down (even with the new untested GDP figures) then the govt should know fat earlier than you and simply not do all of it at the same time, or gradually change things.

However that is beyond the ability of this govt and it was their primary criticism when they were elected- india needs actual talent able to manage it, because it’s ovviously far more complex than people imagine.
I think one reason is that it looks half baked. Instead of a cursor you get a blob which simulates a finger.

Another reason might be because Apple has been avoiding mixing touch screens with mice. Not sure why. Maybe because Microsoft did it first or maybe because Apple doesn't want to canibalize sales between products. Anyway, a macOS touch laptop would be amazing or an iPad pro runnning an iOS/macOS combo. Sidecar will get us a bit closer to that.
Most engineering fields have journals and publish their research in the same manner as scientists. Whether they care about publishing or not is related to whether their position is in academia or industry.

Whether you have to move your muscles isn't so important, the goal here is to create a control surface that is usable in VR/AR, which this technology can totally still do.

Walking down the street with AR glasses right now sucks because you can't actually do anything without disruptive gestures (holding your hand to your face, talking out loud to nobody, etc). If you could tell the glasses what to do simply by making small imperceptible movements in your hand, that's a huge leap forward towards making AR actually something usable
We don't agree what it actually is, though.

In practice, the "reasonable person" standard is achieved by asking a jury. In a jury, the members apply their life experiences to the case they're deciding and then persuade each other to reach a unanimous conclusion. That's an entirely subjective process, and if you repeat it with another jury you can get the polar opposite answer.
Leave are largely older. There's not going to be civil unrest from them.

The hard right parties aren't going to suddenly go away either if Brexit happens. They're not going to sit back and enjoy Brexit. There would likely be an increase in street attacks on UK-resident Europeans. The economic impact isn't going to be pretty either.

Leave arguments aren't based in facts, so they can't be satisfied by changing the facts. The whole thing is really a successful campaign by the rightwing press, not the parties.
So long as they're not convicted, yes, and that's a good thing.
Re: tracking - I don't have a huge problem with email marketing tracking aggregated opens in theory, but unfortunately, it's far too easy to use the same technology to track personal emails, which does bother me. So I turn off images. Really wish there was a better way to manage this that made it simpler for the layperson to understand the tradeoffs.

I don't really have a problem with click-tracking anywhere, but as I work through the logic, I can't really tell you why. It isn't really any different than open tracking. Thinking more about it, I guess I'm ok with tracking that I landed on a URL via a referrer or UTM, as this is tracking how someone arrived at your property and is ostensibly less personal, not whether or not they read the letter you sent them. I'm less ok with tracking that person clicked link in email you sent them. Again, speaking specifically about 1-1 communication, mass email is a separate issue (that I have some problems with, but they're not equivalent to me).

Terminal support isn't the issue, there are a couple nice terminal apps you can get which are solid. The big problem(s) I've had are:

* Lack of a common file system so you can't use multiple apps to edit/ compile source well.
* Inability to build and run locally (for iOS/ local apps)
* Inability to deploy locally (for example to a web server running on your machine)
* No virtualization... which would solve the above plus a few other issues.
* Inability to establish persistent network connections in the background.

For terminal apps here's a couple good starters:
https://ish.app

You can use Coda to do remote web editing which can be useful if you have a remote build environment. There are a few other decent ways to do remote work, but building out a full local workflow on iOS is pretty much a non-starter right now.

Kik Messaging App to Shut Down Following SEC Lawsuit Against ICO
Anecdotally, I've seen (2) companies fail because they refused investment money. The usual avenues of failure are:

- You have a few major clients monopolizing your time, and you can't afford additional resources to break out of the pattern.

- You prove the viability of the product and create a market, but a venture-backed/larger competitor eats your dinner.

I'm not saying it's always correct to accept funding, but it's pragmatic to consider it.

NRC is a list(Table). Tables are not laws. Table is data on which you apply the laws.

Interesting implementation tidbit from a Federighi interview:

A soft border with an implicit tolerance of smuggling at a certain level (which in reality is what we have today vs the rest of the world - witness the amount of fake-certified and dangerous goods that come in from eg China with no real enforcement), together with cooperation on enforcement for the bigger offenders (eg the UK assisting in stopping goods before they reach the border if they are destined for RoI and known not to comply with EU standards) would seem to be the pragmatic solution. I don’t think the two sides are really all that far apart on this point.

As I mentioned, the much bigger issue is regulatory alignment more generally for reasons which are not related to border infrastructure (North-South cooperation and the all island economy), where there is a much bigger gap between the sides.

It seems to me like China wants the electric car manufacturing revolution to mainly be under their control/borders. My guess is that the reason they allowed Tesla so willingly is that Nio and other local companies had already started crashing hard and BYD with their tiny battery packs were unlikely to drive sufficient adoption, especially for export. The only way to grab the market was to lure in the best and drive more internal competition.
> My point on Tim's post was that a majority of his most passionate followers (people who also follow him on twitter and would take the time to answer a survey) would not pay for his content

It's a fair statement that most people won't pay, but that is totally different point that the one you made in the previous comment.

Your prior comment was clear and direct. You stated that many people are flat out lying (with your emphasis on the word "lying"). Then you linked a blog post as an example of that.

I agree with the thesis that many people will not pay for non-ad supported content. I don't know that I agree that people are lying or dishonest about it. I certainly disagree with the characterization that they are flat out _lying_ about it.

Nobody needs a $100 Texas Instruments graphing calculator to tally up receipts or compute the cosine of 28° (the latter is something a carpenter might need to do, but should not be showing up extensively in high school math classes).

If people want to buy $5 “scientific calculator”, a 4-function calculator with a paper tape, use a free calculator app on their phone, type their arithmetic into google, ...., that’s just fine.

These devices are simple and straight-forward, and do not need extensive practice to understand.

If schools really want to spend class time practicing computations with a portable calculation device, learning how a slide rule works is much more pedagogically valuable. At earlier ages, learning how to use a soroban or counting board is also worthwhile. These devices have no hidden parts, and learning to use them is, in itself, mathematical.
