>>Don't hate the player, hate the game.

No, that is a stupid saying and people need to stop using. Unethical actions are unethical even if the "game" allows for it.

>> Demand change from the politicians.

No again, the solution to this problem is not some authoritarian government response, or even (which is implied by your indirect blame of capitalism for all the problems in the world) socialist economic model

>Capitalism doesn't give you any extra points for being sustainable.

Capitalism does not care about about sustainability or non-sustainable , non-sustainable companies are NOT givin a "competitive advantage" by capitalism.

In reality is current government regulations like provide non-sustainable companies with that advantage in the form of liability shields, and various other government programs written by big business for big business to ensure the status quo

You appeal to government authority is as misplaced as your blame of capitalism for all the problems
Politico-Harvard poll: Most Americans believe Covid leaked from lab
Payload, floor structure and the ability to load long, large stuff from the nose are the main reasons. Also what I heard back the day from industry veterans. The 747 was initially conceived as a cargo plane, and thus works better at that. The A380 would be great for express / parcel carriers, but I think it's to expensive to operate on the given routes ehen compared to a 777F or similar planes (A300s were converted quite a lot, and MD11s were Lufthansa Cargos fleet until the late 2000s if memory serves well).

I am still sad that I missed the Beluga during my internship at Munich Airport in air freight. My boss really should have called me, even at midnight. But then I heard some strange stories afterwards about that flight that might explain why it was done with a limited number of people at the dead of night. Never found out how much was rumors and how much fact so. I did have the opportunity to load a Antonov 124 so. That was fun!

I can't find anything to back this up. If anything, Germany are investing more in geothermal.

Nothing about exhausting their heat gradient.

Safe rust can eliminate the loop just fine if you use fold() or an exclusive range instead of an inclusive one. This is because in release mode it has wrapping semantics for unsigned integers. In debug mode you would get a panic instead for too large inputs. So the behavior is defined, albeit still a bit of a pitfall. But you can enable overflow checks in release mode too if desired.

I strongly believe that we need a lot simpler explanations to bring more people on board. Last month, I was in Turkey and explaining Bitcoin to my 60-year-old dad. He got the concept within minutes. His first question was about double-spending, and then he failed to grasp the mining concept and PoW. I think this happened because he lacks some abstraction ability.
This gave me lots to think about. Lists like these are a great resource to return to. Besides CEOs product owners could also read this because making any product needs a story, or the sales department also needs stories. Learning more about stories will only help you.

Thats hardly its main motivation, banks have been preventing double spend for a long time now. The motivation behind the blockchain is to have a distributed ledger thats not controlled by a single party and thus cannot be taken down or controlled by governments.

The problem is that it's very good at that but nothing else, so if you're doing something legal or supported by the banking structure of your country, the blockchain is by far a worse solution in every way.

The best blockchain got so far was Bitcoin and such as a horse betting platform, basically another stock to bet on and thus its recent popularity. Aside from that Its hard to see a continued use, maybe as conservative governments keep increasing protectionism and divisiveness we'll get more use out of it.

Lambdas are constrained by their type. If you see a lambda being passed to, let's say `map`, then (assuming you know the type of `map`) you know the type of the passed lambda.

Of course this assumes the lambda is pure, but in the kind of code we're talking about (pseudofunctional code with lots of higher-order functions) they should be pure for the most part.
I'm speaking specifically about the indemnity agreement that you get as part of a purchased license. It is the opposite of the liability waiver -- it is saying that the software publisher will take on responsibility in certain cases and with certain limits.

I teached a C class during coronavirus lockdown in France and I also did something of the sort (having different question per student, mixing their order, etc).

But I think, most importantly, I put a lot of emphasis on group work & home work.
This has also its own issues. I like to do group homework because I believe that in the real world, you rarely work alone, and group work allow to have more fun project than what you can do in a 1-2h exam. On the other hand, I know some student hate it because there is always a slacker in every group. And home work is also an issue because not every student has time to work outside of school sadly. I try to give time during the classes for them to work on their homework but it is not all the time possible (limited number of hour for the whole course).

Overall, I hate grading and exams, I consider that my job is teaching, not grading, but this doesn't really work in the real world sadly.
"Ad-supported" business models are a fundamental problem of the web. No matter in what shape or form they come, tracking or non-tracking, a billion devices with an ad-blocker are a strong signal that users of the web simply do not want to see ads on web pages.

They slow down page load times, make content more difficult to comprehend, incentivize the creation of low quality/spam content (spray and pray), are terribly inefficient way to monetize creative work and use CPU, RAM and bandwidth for very little or most often no benefit for the user (as quantified by atrociously low ad click-through rates). In any other software product if a click through rate for a button was <0.0001% that button/feature would be removed.

Nobody likes or wants ads, and even people making a living through ads install ad-blockers. The sooner we start thinking about different business models for sustaining the web, the better.

This seem to be inevitable. An individual doesn't have horizontal scalability, you know... So, unless we'll have some kind of brain extension capabilities, there is no other choice but to build such technologies collectively.

Also, I think you are overdramatizing this. Governments used to be omnipresent (maybe still are), in a different way, more threatening to individuals and probably as threatening to societies as "everything companies" could be.
I do not understand how hiding private items from the camera breaches your privacy. That is like saying you have already died of thirst because you have to drink water; the preventive measure does not cause the thing it tries to prevent.

Furthermore, you do not have to take the exam in your own room. Any quiet room where there are no other people is theoretically fine. Having access to such a room is your own responsibility, just like having access to a laptop to do your study is your own responsibility. In practice, hiding private items in your study room is usually the most practical way to get access to a comfortable room, but I do not believe requiring students to have access to a private room for 2 hours breaches their privacy.

> An electric car is arguably much better then a diesel or gas powered car.

It depends on how you define better, though. For a city, yes, there is no air pollution coming directly from an electric car, but it's significantly more polluting in the manufacturing process compared to an ICE car due to the special materials needed. An example is lithium, which uses solvents and chemicals that are toxic during the mining and manufacturing process, which then produces extremely bad waste that's hard to deal with (and often isn't, causing significant problems for the local area). This is a particularly bad problem for electric cars since they need very large batteries. This process (and others) need to be improved significantly and recycling programs need to become a better alternative to simply creating the materials from scratch to really say that electric cars are unequivocally better than ICE.
Yes, of course, but the point is that it wasn't known at the time when he was prescribed treatment. A "good" case for him would have been living another year, maybe two if lucky.

One of the tags you can select is WinUI. Another is MacOS. So they clearly thought platform-specific UI might be usful to someone. It may not scratch your itch, but that doesn't mean it's useless.

For my part, I'd argue that, if you care about inclusiveness, you should probably favor either Electron or some other option that builds on the Web stack, or writing a separate native front-end for every platform. The problem with all the cross-platform toolkits is that they have accessibility problems.

I can't remember the exact situation, but it's better to keep a gigantic house at temperature than to let it get far out of temperature only to be recooled.

I'm very doubtful as my own experience would lean strongly against it having worked at multiple similar companies (facebook, tiktok, snapchat) and having even worked on recommendation system area. Internally the typical employee tends to be liberal/libertarian and for facebook I remember conservative employees being so rare there was one person doing meetups with anyone interested to talk to an open conservative in the company. For tiktok I worked on the main team in the US about recommendation engine for videos and content like BLM was very supported and pretty frequently would appear as a hashtag in trending page.

I haven't worked at google specifically, but having heard plenty of people complain about tiktok/facebook recommendations with very incorrect guesses on what the system bias is, I'm doubtful google is biased against that type of content. Snapchat isn't known as much for recommendation so haven't heard much feedback on it's system.

>Unethical actions are unethical even if the "game" allows for it.

Nobody says what Apple is doing is ethical, at least I sure didn't. The point is, the problem runs deeper than one company. The system has an incentive structure where companies benefit by doing as Apple does. It's like blaming a ball for rolling down a hill. If you don't want the ball to roll, go play on a level field.

>You appeal to government authority

You make this sound like I'm for some kind of dictatorship.

I firmly believe in a government democratically elected by the people. Even if the system is capitalist in nature, it should always be subservient to the will of the people. The governments should be tied to the will and interest of the people. Especially in the US it seems that the government acts for the corporate special interests. In that case, the solution is more democracy, not less.

>non-sustainable companies are NOT givin a "competitive advantage" by capitalism

So why are all the big companies ruining our climate then? What's the explanation? Random chance?
Simple - it may be called a "currency" but really it acts more like a stock.

- There are limited ways to convert the bitcoin to USD, much like there are limited ways (brokers) to move money in/out of stocks.

- The exchange/price compared to USD fluctuates wildly. It is not stable like USD - it is more like a volatile stock. BTC was worth $18k on Dec 1 2020 and has gone as high as $63k since then and is now around $32k USD per 1 BTC.

In my opinion, the major limitations to it becoming a stable, usable currency is the volatility and ease of use. You can have all the anonymity and hack proof tech you want but until its easy to use and stable, it won't be adopted widely. Any effort to make it easy to use will likely make it lose the anonymity part. For example if I can now pay at any POS terminal using an app on a phone, there goes anonymity.
