Exactly. They have direct access to your vitals and can push certain buttons to figure out how your system is running to brute-force that attack, ultimately ruining whatever they intended to do.

I'm probably going to change how publicly accessible my monitoring view is soon, but for now, it seems pretty cool for everyone to see.
Most office and hotel buildings in the US can't be opened for fresh air. In Germany, they can. Mostly because AC is not a given for every building.
That's why my local Food Bank/ Community Services (Sunnyvale Community Services) likes cash donations. They then go and shop at Costco for many items for the poor--including essential clothing items.
So you think he was lying then? Jesus christ what an attitude, do you want me to find some news to support my claim? Should I put disclaimer marks around my text that I have not researched this with a notebook in my hand? I can't believe how arrogant one can be, to write-off my whole reply while subjective, well explained, because that I couldn't verify the sources of what somebody said to me and which is only a story to validate my original point - that Green Party doesn't seem to be capable thinking about nuclear power rationally.

EDIT: Really, downvotes? It's easy to disagree but to do so without contributing anything constructive is just worthless. I'm not changing my mind, frankly it's doing the opposite. It's a fact that Green Party was in the administration at the time the Olkiluoto 3 was decided, but I'm not going to research it any further than that.

It's just so low-effort for you to press down or just write a two sentence snarky reply. Should I then return the favor and do the same for any reasonable anti-nuclear comment that I just don't disagree with? That is what a petty person would do, but I'm fine with my downvotes. I think it's just reinforcing my point.
Or Flash’s heyday coincided with the explosion of the web from tech-circles to widespread public use, and critically, before the big walled gardens (FB etc), became the hub for most publication on the internet.
Banning advertisement is the nice way to reduce the social costs of universal healthcare as it only act as a industry regulation.

What follows is usually not bans but taxes. As an example, Sweden uses a rather significant tobacco tax helps to offset the increased healthcare costs. Same for alcohol and now they are considering the same strategy for sugary drinks and sweets.

Once culture has change and almost no one buys it anymore, and the cost makes the product completely uninterested for new customers, then politicians can start to discuss bans of the product itself.
I think this would be great to actually demonstrate what drinks are actually "sugary" and I mean it against drinks that market themselves to be healthy but are very high in sugar
You can set up red5 in a few minutes, at most hours. Replicating a similar setup with something like Janus is a lot more complicated, and there is no HTML5 equivalent

Plus webrtc is proving to be a resource hog every time, and a lot more complicated to set up in an app (separate media / data stream etc). flash/red5 works literally out of the package.
Sure, if you compare 1 to 1. But you have 100s to 1 on any street. A 100 cars are lot more noisy and polluting than one bus.

Factories might need to find efficiencies as well, or invest in enough solar to run themselves.

We'll have to pay the true cost of consuming the products they produce.

Update: I didn't do it very well, but what I wanted to say was that nobody runs their home like a shopping mall. Thousands of lights blasting, air so cold you have to put a jumper on in summer, and doors wide open to let the cold out. There is a lot of waste in the commercial world that I think we should fix before we freak out that there is not enough energy.
A question one of you bread fans may be able to answer. My daughter has what we thought was a gluten intolerance, she recently went to Italy though and can eat their bread and pasta fine. Coming back to Australia, and eating bread here - same reaction, she's found a deli that imports Italian bread and can eat that. I've looked at the ingredients list and nothing leaps out, one thing I was thinking maybe the wheat is different and so the Gluten is a slightly different shape maybe, any of you folk know what the difference could be?
So you will consume less to? Another bonus.

To my knowledge, the actual amounts of nuclear waste are not that big at all. [0] is a biased source, but taking its number of 34,000m³ of high-level nuclear waste worldwide per year, that's just a 32x32x32m cube of waste per year, without even considering potential reprocessing. It's surprisingly little. Investing in nuclear as a part of the solution to climate issues and energy security would initially raise this amount (which would still remain very small), but would also enable deployment of waste reprocessing technologies that would eat into this considerably.

> In France, the UK, Japan and the United States there are dumps of radioactive waste that are off-limits for the next couple of centuries.

Couple of centuries really isn't much. Industrial waste is problematic on the same timescales, and there's orders of magnitude more of it.

> Alternatives have been suggested (such as - ridiculous - shooting the waste into space or dumping it into the deepest parts of the ocean). But none of those are even remotely viable or politically or socially acceptable.

There's a catch-22 in here. We know how to deal with nuclear waste, but can't implement it because the industry is underfunded, because people are afraid of nuclear waste.

Although the endpoint is likely to be a better understanding of the choices made by a mature implementation, and of the work involved in fixing up edge cases.
Lowest death toll in the best-case scenario, but what about the worst-case scenario? It's not like a fluke once in a lifetime event, we've had meltdowns and partial meltdowns all over the world from the US to Switzerland to the Soviet Union to Japan time and again, and while they were bad, they could have been worse, substantially worse.

We're investing tons of money into fusion though, so maybe that'll make all these fission plants a moot point.
>It's really everyone using Adobe's content creation tools (which were well integrated/designed) that made things so low friction.

I really feel like flash's heyday was before adobe bought it up. Most of the best flash sites, newgrounds and stuff were more active and had tons of content while Macromedia still owned flash.

Long term, I would rather we build more subway lines than powered rails (or similar) for streetcars, even though subways are more expensive. Even without cars, we want that above ground space for pedestrians and cyclists.
TLDR: Extrapolating current trends in renewable power generation, by the time we’re able to complete construction of new nuclear plants those plants won’t be necessary.

There are six significant flaws in most recent pro-nuclear arguments I’ve read. To me, these flaws undermine the pro-nuclear case.

1. Authors ignore how long it takes to bring a new nuclear plant online (>7 years).

2. Authors focus on the percentage of energy production contributed by clean sources (solar, wind, etc.) TODAY, but ignore the growth trend (which matters since reactors take so long to bring online).

3. Authors ignore the waste storage problem, which is a debt future generations will be saddled with for hundreds or thousands of years.

4. Authors ignore the power storage problem, which causes lots of energy to be wasted.

5. Authors ignore energy efficiency trends (electronics get more efficient over time).

6. Authors ignore the safety data and that safety incidents are likely under-reported.

> manufacturers can just fork Android like Amazon did

This is a pretty weak argument against doing the right thing by taking control of system updates. Even stock Android devices stop getting updates very quickly because of how tightly coupled to the hardware drivers Android is. It doesn't have to be that way.
Except you'd never have a good enough dataflow analysis to work on arbitrary code without burying people with false positives. Especially in C++ code, where things like function pointers just destroy call graph precision (and therefore taint analysis precision).

Linting doesn't even give you this much. All it'd be able to tell you is "where in the program are calls to networking APIs being made" and maybe determining parameters if they are defined in the same function as the call.
Do you think we really need DRM, though? I've been using the web without it for a while, and I just boycott sites or services that require it.

More to the point, I think that the current DRM scheme is inherently and completely broken. I could use it and let websites pretend it's useful, but it's not worth the increased quantity of proprietary code to me.
Homestar Runner.. 'nuff said.
Not the guy you were asking but...

I do a lot of self-study, and I use Calibre (ebook library software) to organise my reading materials. I used it because my Linux file browser has problems displaying covers for EPUB files. (And a couple of other) I like that my reading material has lots of ways for me to organise it without creating duplicates (tags mainly) search and browse my books.
Then one evening I found myself wishing I could have all my other relevant 'files' in the same system: audio, video, source code, repos, blogs, podcasts, notes etc... Basically a metadata rich database - except not really a database in my case as I need to pull in 'stuff' from all over the place, and not only on one device.

Files are nice, and I hate anything that takes away my ability to organise stuff on a physical level (which, truth be told Calibre stubbornly refuses to let you set up your folder system, so I cheat by using tags) but at the same time, the problem with the skeuomorphic paradigm of files and folder is that there are so many more options open in the digital world than in the real world when dealing with items.

Imagine being able to sit at your office desk and open the drawer to pull out a piece of paper. When you look at the paper it shows you some text. Rotate the paper to the left and the text disappears and a video starts playing, turn it to the right and you hear a podcast, place it on your desk and 4 more pieces of paper appear next to it - or it calls someone relevant to the info.

All possible with digital info, but not with a real piece of paper - yet.

That is the only thing I see as a real negative about files and folders - it may be limiting what we can really do with our digital world because we're stuck in a file-system metaphor created hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.
Have they actually gained much market share in the server space though - big corps don't move very quickly, even when the options are way more competitive. "Nobody ever got fired for choosing Intel" and so on.

When I was a teenager I wrote a couple flash games with actionscript. I think the biggest thing about flash, asides from running consistently on all platforms, was how simple it was to build functional stuff on it. Adobe's Flash Professional had a nice monolithic IDE that worked out of the box and included visual design aids.
my first time in DF mexico visiting palacio de las bellas artes! There's a huge park next to it and I remember seeing nothing but trash all around it like a maze :(
This comment is pretty misleading. The parts you complain about have little to do with what made Flash a creative sandbox. The parts that do matter have long been replaced with Canvas/WebGL. But the web as a whole has changed. Just like we don't have as many fun quirky geocities-like websites. The issue isn't the lack of Flash, it's that the web as a whole has grown up and changed.
I modified an iPod clip to use mp3's dropped on. I can't remember the utility I used. This was years ago.
I think their point is that changing your device language is not the same thing as changing your region. Changing your language is a simple setting, but changing your region involves re-accepting the ToS for that region. So technically they would have to click Agree on the document linked in the tweet in the OP.
I read last year that it is not gluten that most people with “gluten allergic” is reacting to, but a protein that normally is found within “gluten”. They are now starting to produce gluten without this protein. Could be that this is the reason.

Just like milk-protein and lactose intolerance/allergic is two different things.
40,000 people are killed every single year in the USA due to cars. Over 2 million are injured or disabled. And that is direct deaths, not including deaths from pollution.

That is the tip of the iceberg for problems with cars.

And yet, you can't see why cars are a problem? I don't believe you.
For our honeymoon we booked through Costco travel to Cancun and it was a great value, and one of the benefits was knowing they had our back if there were any flight cancellation/delays. My wife had used them a year previous to Hawaii which had a flight cancellation.
The airline wouldn’t make her whole on the hotels/excursions. But Costco went to bat and got all of her money back and some.
The answer to "why do you want files as an abstraction" is that files are the units of ownership of data. If you don't control the files that represent your data, you don't own it. You might think you do, but you don't, because someone else ultimately decides the fate of those files.
As someone unfamiliar with React, does it or its ecosystem change so frequently that you need to stay on top of it? That sounds a bit worrying, or I'm just taking it out of context.
What demo exactly are you targeting? Rent isn't as expensive on the outskirts but parking always is if you're talking a commute route, so it doesn't seem like we're talking low income working class people generally. So are we talking people driving in from Jersey/Long Island? What's stopping them from leaving a car just off the island and using public transit on it?

There's also the option of keeping things like FDR and Henry Hudson open and having a few concentrated parking hubs for those commuters as well. You're right, those cases need to be accounted for. And no matter what this won't solve the lack of coverage in the outer boroughs, but a solution there will take a ton of money politicians won't spend on non-wealthy donors.
My experience was that I always found my CoffeeScript really easy to read since I was always internally consistent with which opinional bits I used and which bits I ignored.

Reading other people's CoffeeScript on the other hand...
The real answer is actually the same in both cases: the bits (atoms) get used for something else. Although bones can linger for quite a while, not sure if there's a file parallel for that.
Flash died because of Apple, and before Adboe bought Macromedia, it was an incredibly small runtime; way better than Java at very specific forms of 3D rendering. Old Flash can be upscaled to 4k. A youtube video is pre-rendered and stuck at that resolution forever.

When flash was dominant there was an abundance of vector animations. There isn’t a technical reason this couldn’t still be the case, however we’re in the graphics dark ages right now. Everything is a raster. Everything that isn’t is static or on a very light fixed loop that takes an absurd amount of resources to animate.
I’m torn on the cars in Manhattan debate. I live my whole city life on public transport. I hate the pollution of cars and I hate how perilous it is for my kids to cross the streets.

At the same time we sometimes do want to or have to travel outside the city. I’m not really sure how that would work in a car free city.
> Predictions not panning out because they were mitigated in time doesn't mean the predictions were wrong.

They weren't "mitigated". Nobody took action based on those predictions in order to keep them from coming true. People just continued to improve technology and continued to have fewer children as their standard of living rose--trends that were just as observable when the predictions were made as the trends that the predictions were based on.

> oil prices did skyrocket in 2000s

Sort of, but then they came back down again:

https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-cha...

And the prediction I was referring to, more precisely, was that oil prices would skyrocket by 2000 and then would never come back down again but continue to rise.
This is technically true, but sort of misses the mark. Costco does not price goods such that their Cost of Goods Sold + Operating Expenses = their Membership Fees + Non Alcohol Gross Revenue, Alcohol Gross Revenue to be their main source of profit. They do price goods such that their COGS + OPEX = Gross Revenue, leaving their membership fees to be the main source of profit.

In other words, you can say that any given vertical worth $Xbn of their revenue was their profit, if you are convinced that Costco actually models their pricing around that vertical section of their revenue. But in reality, everyone knows that the section they model around is membership fees - everything else is break even and the fees are profit.
Home Star Runner!!!

Go to the old homestarrunner site, grab a flash file and play it (in the browser if you still have support, or using a rendering library) on a UHD screen. Yes, you can render that ancient 2000s era video .. in 4k. Flash is dead as a door nail though, and Homestar will now only be at the resolution of when they rendered it for YouTube.
Random thought - I like to bake cakes with the kids, so I always have flour in the cupboard, but seldom yeast.

I've looked, but even flatbread recipes I've found seem to include yeast - is there such a thing as bread without yeast?

I just don't understand this.

I moved to Manhattan last year, and while there some things I've been annoyed about, it wouldn't have occurred to me to put "cars" on that list. I didn't bring my car here, and having driven a rental a couple times in the city, it's hard for me to imagine why anyone drives here if they don't have to: the experience as a driver is far, far worse than as a pedestrian.
The mainline kernel doesn't have a stable ABI, so you're stuck maintaining a fork, forever.

> Distributing your website like a flash file/app as a binary is one missing feature I suppose?

Lots of solutions to this:

* SickBeard ran a local web server and the UI ran in your browser.

* Electron / Nwjs

* Whatever Microsoft has planned for Electron (Electron Runtime?)

* That Microsoft compiled HTML format thats defunct mostly (chtml).

As much as everyone hates on the web. Its a consistent UI platform. Not 100% consistent every single time but you can get pretty darn close.
I know a lot of early Adult Swing shows were made with Flash (I think Aqua Teen?). What are studios using today? Is there anything equivalent today that matches the power of Flash for young animators?
Simple files will outlast any cloud provider in existence today. Mark my words. That beautiful and elegant simplicity cannot be killed, unless files literally get outlawed.
I'd be in agreement generally but the subway coverage is pretty dense with maybe exception to the far east/west ends. More trains per line is probably money and effort better spent at that point. You still need roads for emergency vehicles and those that need to drive, so I don't think lack of streetcars will actually save a ton of pedestrian space. In an ideal world for sure though.
Tooling. I don't think anything fully replaced it. OTOH, while not web things per se, I think Twine, Unity and RPG Maker scratch similar itches for many (but definitely not all) people potentially interested.

Transport for London should politely refrain from any statements like that, I believe. They hardly can allow people to enter the platform because there's no space to fit the crowd. There's sea of heads almost every morning in front of most popular stations' gates. Not because they have a gates issue, or any other unusual problem - they are just regulating flow that way. So, I'd kindly ask them start modernizing platforms to allow more throughput in the first place. Then let them experiment and play with statistics, by all means.
