Maybe just the models I've used?

I think I have tried 5 different models in the last few years, from the very cheap, to the relatively pricey, and all were relatively lacking when it came to fine control.

I don't think there's any real reason why they shouldn't have fine temperature control - presumably the temperature is controlled by the switching speed of the mosfets in the coils?
Ah but what I meant was in the ~50 or so visits in the last 5 years this has never happened to me. So I was wondering whether I was just lucky or if it’s an entirely different situation in Europe

I imagine this will change, though. I would have thought induction hobs are cheaper to produce, since it's just a copper coil and a bunch of power mosfets.

Just close the tabs - I don't get why people keep so many open. Even when web developing 6 or so is probably the max I ever have open (apart from when opening links in other tabs to read in a few minutes).

Do you use CloudFlare? CloudFlare defends hosting terrorist site for "free speech" reasons:

https://www.fastcompany.com/90312063/how-cloudflare-straddle...

https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-and-free-speech/

> the company serves at least seven groups on the U.S. State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, including al-Shabab, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), al-Quds Brigades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, and Hamas.

> CEP has sent letters to Cloudflare since February 13, 2017, warning about clients on the service, including Hamas, the Taliban, the PFLP, and the Nordic Resistance Movement. The latest letter, from February 15, 2019, warns of what CEP identified as three pro-ISIS propaganda websites.

I do wish CF would apply the same standards to other sites too.

Two reasons:

* Some account bans are for illegal content - Child porn, bans so an account state can be investigated, copyright claims etc. In that case, letting a user download their data could violate the law/ethics.

* Technically implementing this in Googles infrastructure is hard. The login session used by takeout has to have access to all data (so that takeout itself can get your data from each service and build an archive). Stopping you taking that same cookie and using it to access services directly isn't part of their auth model.

Despite all this, I think they should try harder, both for the users, but also to save a potentially very expensive EU fine when someone with power in the EU gets impacted by this...

Where did you get a cheap meter and what do you consider cheap :D?
When one doesn't defend free speech for those they don't like, then they don't care about free speech. Would you rather have them run their site in open so people can simply not visit their site and others can watch for vile stuff they might be talking about? Or put them under the rug so they go even more underground with even less opposing view points and thus falling in their echo chambers?

Also now a days any opposing speech gets classified as nazis and white supremacist etc labels. Take Tulsi Gabbard getting her Adsense account censored by Google for example and getting called a russian agent and then it escalating to her supporters being called nazis and Assad toadies. Bernie supporters got called misogynsts for political purposes. The censorship tools always get abused eventually on those who advocated for it.

This is important because, for example they did not invent ailerons, but blended the wing and constant litigation from their patents block all progress in aviation in the US for a long time because they wanted to take possession of the inventions others have created(like ailerons) and became a monopoly.

Only the war and the US gobertment intervening did stop the blocking.

This was a few years ago in Europe not the US. I think this was one of the positive aspects, since law enforcement here (especially dealing with people from different countries) would have different expectations for the type of information that they could receive or ask for.

A representative from Italy might ask for one specific element of information, another one from Germany might look for associative information (who a person is and who they were with) and one from the UK might ask for things as precise as the hour and minute at which a particular action would occur (this is due to the high amount of cameras that cover London for example, which could then be used to match movement around a region with surveillance to the data I would provide).

I would say most of the requests were reasonable from my point of view given the background they would provide - I guess it's also down to the person requesting the information. But as time progressed they figured out that I was able to get information or that we had information on a wide variety of elements... As I said initially, it goes from "Find info on John Doe, with an email account jdoe@email.com, with a date of birth of 33/33/2033 who did this activity at 11:30 PM on 01/01/2053" to "We have this email which is either jdoe@email or jdoe@gmail but we're not sure. Can you check all such occurences?".

I think the point is also that Europe isn't THAT much better and while people might wave privacy laws and GDPR as proof of Europe's "superiority", I think a lot of those things look good on the surface, but they still don't protect you as much as you'd think.
> getting links to download stuff takes more than enough time to get you to forget it.

Building takeout archives is incredibly expensive for Google. Do that just a few times and you might have wiped out years of profit Google made off you. Thats because most data in your Google account (eg. a random email or a photo you took in 2013) is only accessed once and then never again. Storage systems are designed for that. Yet when you go and try and access every single piece of data ever, you're putting more load on their storage systems than years of regular use.

Thats part of why it takes so long to build the archive - they do it at low priority and slowly so as not to overload the service for other users.

tl;dr - Conservatives decided they were against it as soon as they saw the left was for it.

The anti-environmental stance on the part of Conservatives is a result of Reagan-era policies meant establish a pro-business, anti-regulation base among corporate donors and undermine Jimmy Carter's legacy[0].

Also, after the 1960s, environmentalism became associated with "leftist" politics via feminist and antiwar activism (the hippie movement.) Trump's heavily mocked tweet about climate change being a Chinese hoax comes from this longstanding general mistrust among Conservatives that environmentalism has a secret Marxist/Communist agenda behind it, due to those associations.

Finally, there's Al Gore. Much of the modern distrust of climate change (and by association, environmentalism) is fallout from effective Republican Party propaganda mocking his activism, and particularly An Inconvenient Truth.

The paper criticises the benchmarks that are typically used to show that "AI systems are already better than humans in vision and [speech processing]" etc.

For example, given state of the art in current benchmarks on language understanding, if those benchmarks really did measure language understanding, we could all be AIs debating the paper that itself could have been written by AI. Suffice it to say, this is not likely given the current level of "understanding" in modern systems.

The paper refers to various pieces of work within natural language processing and other sub-fields of AI that analyse the weaknesses of such benchmarks and investigate the ability of modern systems to beat benchmarks by finding shortcuts or exploiting surface statistical regularities etc. I recommend, for example:

T. McCoy, E. Pavlick, and T. Linzen. Right for the wrong reasons: Diagnosing syntactic heuristics innatural language inference. InProceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), pages 3428–3448, 2019.

How exactly is a post-logged-in-app obfuscation supposed to be relevant to fraudsters that game the AdWords and reCaptcha etc?

Obviously people and corporations can choose to obfuscate; their prerogative. Doesn't mean it's effective nor wise in every instance, though, does it? Gmail is entirely free to waste effort and make its app slower and less (easily) maintainable, no question there.
Signal can stop you from using the service until you update, but they can't force you to update their app.

Not everything is up for interpretation in Islam. For example, homosexuality is prohibited, and no amount of "interpretation" is going to change that. Same goes with drinking wine or intoxicants. There is no valid interpretation of Islam that allows such behaviors.

There are competing video services to Netflix which are accessible through the web browser on iOS. Also keep in mind that Netflix does not manage subscriptions through in-app purchases (anymore).

I assume you do not realize that it is well documented all of the ways you can pay less (e.g. subscriptions, small business program) or nothing (external payments and subscriptions - you are only limited by your ability to advertise those as alternatives to offering in-app purchases, and can raise your in-app price if you prefer to cover the difference).
Exactly! It's worth pointing out that 'new (std::nowthrow) T' itself also performs a NULL check, so it doesn't call the constructor if the allocation failed.
It's not about history. It's about correctness.

Let's say there's a master branch at commit M1. You branch off of it. You develop your feature branch. In the meantime, master is at commit M26. Now on your feature branch all your tests pass, maybe even there's no merge conflict with the current master. But! Master's behaviour changed and you have no idea about it, and no idea whether it affects your branch. You merge feature to branch and kaboom!

Frequent rebasing protects you from this.

There's nothing preventing you from running Java based applications on Linux. Probably there's already a JRE bundled with the commercial applications you're using.

The problem here is some people thought it would be a great idea to use their distribution package manager to also manage Java libraries. Since those are normally bundled with applications you have to manage a lot of incompatible versions and dependencies requiring you to package the entire ecosystem which is a herculean task. That's not a question of boring work but of not being able to scale because you want the whole ecosystem on your terms while not providing value to end users. (and quite a lot of negative value since all packages including the base JDK have been out of date on average the last 15 years)
Former embedded engineer here :) Most embedded engineers I know have a degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (similar but not exactly the same as Computer Science). The reason is because as an embedded engineer you need to have a good understanding of the electronics and hardware around the microcontroller/microprocessor. For basic applications such as arduino you can get away with high level code, but in order to do more advanced things like motor control, wireless radio, battery management, analog filtering, etc, you need to be familiar with the underlying electronics.

That said, as embedded processors like the raspberry pi get cheaper I am seeing more jobs in embedded Linux, which may require less direct electronics experience.

I would say an electrical engineering degree is the best way, or maybe just read the entire "Art of Electronics" and try to do some personal projects like a robot! There are no easy shortcuts I'm afraid.

I absolutely love doing embedded work, but unfortunately it was hard to find good remote jobs! If you are in a tech city there are many more opportunities. Good luck!
