I was about to follow up my meta comment with a regular comment about river basin mapping and bird migration viz until your reply about the off-topic flag. Defense of curiosity for its own sake is a preface for conversation.

Noting disappointment in people being miserable about something interesting, which in itself totally disinvites on-topic conversation, isn't bile. I can't ask people to read the article per the site rules, even though it's painfully apparent that half the problem is lack of nudging to read the article. So of course dissent is going to be colder than it could otherwise be.
Actually, this reminded me about the impact pesticides etc. have had on Parsi death rights in India. Parsi people rely on birds of prey to consume their dead bodies in Dakhma's (structures intended for dead bodies to be exposed to birds that consume carrion). Due to the destruction of the population it's basically become much more difficult.

AFAIK, that's how it starts. Top end unit sales fall, top end unit prices fall, and this starts a domino effect. That 3 million dollar condo now sells for 2.5M. The condo that previously sold for 2.5 now looks overpriced, it falls to 2M. The condo that was previously 2M now has to sell for 1.5M, and so on. Eventually, your 1 million dollar condo can't sell for a million anymore, because you can buy something nicer for one million.

That's one of the reasons I'm not buying a device with Android 10. I find it intolerable that I can't uninstall most pre-installed apps. PlayMusic, PlayBooks, News, Drive. Hangouts, Assistant, GMail etc. are all apps I don't use. Nevertheless, they are still on my smartphone and take away important space. I understand that Google/Alphabet also wants to earn money but it's really annoying. I'm using the Firefox browser but still can't uninstall Google Chrome.

Thoughts on WebRTC Data Channels?
I'm web game developer. I've been developing my games with Web Socket technology. I was planning to try WebRTC at some point and I already started to develop a game with it. It's a fast-paced FPS shooter. I need low latency values. So I thought WebRTC might be good choice. According to Can I use website, it's only not available on IE and Edge in major web browsers.

I just want to ask, does anyone have any experience with WebRTC data channels at big scale? And should I really use it on my project? I can still go with Websocket, but I really want to try and see if it's powerful.
Established, no, because establishing it would be akin to correctly predicting peak oil. As a matter of pure math with the banking system we are globally bought into, that is fractional reserve banking, yes you need ever-increasing GDP or people will be unable to pay back loans and everything collapses. New technology, new resources, etc. stave this off from happening. It is absolutely true that there are finite resources on earth, but when we run out to the point that it impacts our financial system is anyones guess. Hence the meteors comment.
It depends how far it goes. If it is used to negotiate then it is a form of trading, if it damages trade on the long term then it is bad for trading and thus it is bad for the countries involved.

Definitely not the same OS as Desktop windows 10. It might run all the same apps, however.
Yet again Microsoft spins up another version of Windows with a narrow use case. They've done this so many times now it's getting almost laughable how little they seem to learn.

Windows 10 has multi-monitor support, good touch and pen support, etc. It's already in the OS. It doesn't need a special version to add support for them at all. If it's about the way the interaction with the screens occur, just make that a mode people can switch Windows 10 to.

The answer to your break point question is yes. You can debug your C# code on the front end with breakpoints. The biggest benefit is applications with a lot of domain business logic tend to have that logic copied to the front end and copied to the backend. If a object can no longer be updated if it has an expired date then you would have logic on your server to prevent that. You would also have logic on your front end to display to the user that this can not happen before even going to the server. The server would act as a backup and ensure it never happens.

With Blazor, this logic only exists in one place which helps follow DRY.Logic that is duplicated tends to get missed in testing often. This provides business value.

I meant a terminal on windows to ssh to linux.
Simple test - cat 50k lines of some logs. See how long it takes on various terminals. Under remote screen/tmux see if you can switch windows while it keeps flooding the screen.
There is no reason for terminal to be slower than ssh.
I tried windows terminal and it's slow.

Of course there are also fonts, copy/paste, colors, keys customization etc. But slowness is a deal breaker for me.

Want to "innovate" in laptop screens? How about giving us our 4:3 laptop screens back? Or (drool) 5:4 ?

Most content (web pages, documents, code) is longer than it is wide, so any more square ratio is going to be an improvement over these silly "movie" ratio 16:9 screens. MS's 3:2 ratio screens are an improvement, but.. we can do more!

Hell, I'd <insert "shut up and take my money" meme> LOVE a 1:1 screen on a laptop! Imagine a 15" diagonal 1:1 screen, which would be as wide as a current 12" laptop or so, just a ton taller. Anything with text on that would be glorious.

I would expect if that were the case that you’d see a disparity in the number of MtF compared to FtM. And the MtF to FTM ratio is according to the NIH 2.2:1, which is pretty significant

(Although now I’m reading the methodology behind that number may be flawed)

Athletes getting preferential treatment during admissions is as old as alumni giving. You cannot separate one from the other. Families have known this for generations and take steps to optimize for it just as they do with SAT prep. The resulting reality is that every collegiate sport is ultimately a "rich kid sport". Just as SAT prep, orchestra and debate are "rich kid activities".

The author suggests that no one falls into the river and comes out a water polo star. The same is true for every varsity sport and every varisty player regardless of ethnicity. No one stumbles onto the hard top and pick themselves up as a D1 basketball player either.

It takes talent, hard work and yes money/time for training, club/travel teams and equipment. Facts that the family of every varsity athlete knows all too well.

With the hours my daughter puts into practice and travel (yes she plays a rich white sport apparently) it is a minor miracle she can maintain her k-12 grades at all, yet she does. If she ends up playing for her college it will mean hundreds of hours of practice and play on their behalf while being forced to maintain her GPA. If she were to be injured while representing her college she would likely not be covered by the college healthcare in any way and would likely loose her scholarship. Interestingly enough the same source (The Atlantic) has an article on exactly this (https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/05/i-...)

Considering what colleges are potentially asking and expecting from their athletes, do I think it would be inappropriate to favor them against non-athletes during admissions? No, I don't.

LOOOOOOL! My high school CS teacher, in 1982, was warning the class about the Year 2000 problem even then. The school had a PDP-11/34 running RSTS/E 7.0, quite the setup for its day.

Back about 2005, when I discovered SIMH, I set up a RSTS/E 7.0 system to revisit old times. I broke out laughing when I found out that 7.0 was not at all Y2K-compliant! It wouldn't even boot if I tried to set the year to 05.

I think that thought is removing responsibility from the individual, the thought of "I don't have to do anything, someone else will fix it".

Society is not an abstract entity, its all of us, we are the society. The responsibility is of each and every individual and not governments.

Governments are elected by individuals to represent their viewpoints. Governments will not act on these issues unless there are enough individual voters supporting these views, politicians, as usual, will only do and say what is popular and gets them elected.

Governments are a reflection of the thoughts and beliefs of the people that vote for them. The real responsibility is of the individual.

The opposite question applies: With so many other manufacturers building folding screen or multi-screen Android phones between now and Holiday 2020, how is Microsoft's any better?

It's not like there is a lack of competitors in the Android manufacturer game.

Maybe its not necessarily "dead on arrival", but at least from what has been announced so far, it doesn't yet sound competitive in what is already a terribly (and ugly) competitive hardware market. At least if Microsoft were trying their own OS again, they'd have a better statement of why they were building the hardware. Meanwhile, doesn't the market already have enough Android phones?

It's easy to say "use trains" when you live in a highly dense area. But America-the-continent is massive and not very dense on average. I'm not convinced trains would be viable economically like they are in Japan.

Lead used tp be a very common additive in gasoline. In the US there was no legislation to reduce it's use until the 1973 and it wasn't fully banned until 1996.

It's hard to answer why 50 and why women as separate questions because it's really the confluence of age and gender that makes our problem statement unique. We did a lot of user research with women of this age. We heard a consistent story: as she ages, she feels more and more invisible to society. Women with grey hair become less powerful; men tend to become more so. At the same time, though, she herself is feeling stronger and more comfortable in her own skin and "gives less f" than she ever has before. And so our goal in building Revel is to build a space where we can celebrate the power and strength that comes from being a woman of this age.
The effectiveness of trains is directly related to the distance between stops, and California (and much of the USA) is too spread out for current combination of technologies and politics.
Any intention of offering the backend as a white label service? With all of the talk about community and social fabric experiencing challenges, I could see a lot of patrons or supporters wanting to spin up their own communities and spaces as a service (myself included), versus putting the time into an open source tool to do so (seriously! just ding my credit card and let me spend time building community instead of code).

Regardless, best of luck. Definitely an underserved market.

Read him as a comedian not a philosopher. Adams was a man of perspectives not truthseeking. His writing is more accidentally philosphical. He isn't some profound thinker that should be deciphered and understood, he wasnt trying to say something specific about society rather he should be enjoyed as comedy and then some of the concepts will make you appreciate his perspectives.

At least thats how think of him. He was a great writer with a very unique perspective on life.

You are misinterpreting what I am trying to convey. For CPA exam/BAR exam, the exams are used as a way to verify that you have some level of understanding on a subject. There are multiple parts to actually becoming a lawyer/CPA. The first part is passing the required exams. The second part is meeting all the requirements.

What we need is a way for people to verify their knowledge. Take the exam, if you pass you get the certificate or similar. I am not talking about some sort of full blown professional certificate for every single profession. CPA/BAR exam was just an example obviously.

Incorrect separation of data from logic is a human problem, not a Postgres problem. Put your logic in one schema[1], let's call it code schema and your data in another schema, the data schema. There you have your separation. Now you can:

* Change your application logic very easily.

* Use a transaction to deploy new code! Zero downtime! [2]

* Use read replicas to balance load in many cases.

* Rollback bad application updates

* Test anything [3]

* Use miriads of development tools from Git to CI systems.

* Use row level security, so that every user can only see his own data [4]

* Only allow applications to call your code schema, never let them touch your data directly.
