This common argument is disingenuous. You hide behind the term "inclusive" as though everyone is treated equally but simultaneously believe that

>Excluding skin color and gender is being blind to prejudice, not fighting it.

Which implies that historic and current prejudice must be corrected with more prejudice. Which is inconsistent with inclusiveness and equality. And we've all seen how this works in practice - certain races and one gender in particular are expected to prejudge other participants and cede their vaguely defined, unilaterally assigned and assumed privilege to create concrete prejudiced privilege for others in the "inclusive" group. And given that personal circumstances are irrelevant, this the definition of prejudice. While you may refuse to acknowledge this explicitly, logically your approach to solving racism is more racism. Which leads me to conclude that at least the loudest among the D&I camp are only using claims of equality as a thin disguise for powermongering.

>It would be pretty terrible if a historically "dominant" demographic felt persecuted because of equal options with emoji colors.

And here, ironically, you are proving my point. To correct historic injustice we are obligated to immediately dismiss any grievances from white people, bonus for snark and sarcasm. When minorities complain, all claims are immediately valid, but if whites (and sometimes Asians, when politically expedient) raise legitimate concerns, they're just being fragile. That's prejudice, my friend. And the degree to which it has become casually acceptable in increasingly larger circles is concerning.

By the way, I don't think anyone is concerned over the expanded color pallet itself, its the insistence that injecting divisive racialism into a race agnostic communication tool is the solution to prejudice. Even assuming that minorities are offended by a single yellow option is racist, much in the same way that latino people don't actually care for the similarly misguided "latinx" designation.

Is the etymology actually obscure? I seem to recall it gaining currency in the warblog era (late but not lamented) and it's a way of saying someone has their head up their ass. They're wearing their ass as a hat.

I remember this being explained a lot in various comment sections where folks would yell at each other about the war. It's hard for me to see this as folk etymology since afaik it's where the word itself comes from. Someone should ask Instapundit.

Yeah the underlying "post-apocalyptic salvaged technology" premise is somewhat looney, but the project itself is technically impressive.
I used to be a professional speaker (Amazon, VMware, etc), and presented at more than 600 events. They said I was pretty good. Point is, after years of perfecting my craft, I can instantly spot the difference between a good presenter and a "fake" / bad one.

Most people are bad. Really. Sorry to be blunt, but it is what it is. A bit of training and a bit of rehearsal would go a long way. I am shocked that big events like this one do not try to invest more in preparing the speakers. It wouldn't take much.
I would fine with the criticism of Trump if I felt there was consistency. The problem is there are plenty of politicians and other prominent people have done the same thing. Violence happened in those incidents as well. Almost nobody is advocating for them to be punished or to be held to the same standard. When Trump does it then it is the worst thing in the world. If we decide inflammatory language is not acceptable then fine, but nobody cares when their side does it.

Just to be clear, I am not saying you specifically are not consistent. I do not know what you believe, but until we have the same standards that we as a society agree to I will defend anybody's right to say questionable things so long as they do not call for violence or other crimes.

Bernie Sanders said that Republicans were killing Americans by going after a health care bill. One of his supporters (who also worked on Bernie's campaign) shot a Republican representative. That was inflammatory language and yet nobody holds Bernie to the same standard as they hold Trump to. To use your argument: To believe Bernie's language was not meant to incite violence you have to think Bernie was competently unaware of the effects of his actions, or that he knew the potential outcome and encouraged it. Both are damning.
You can love to eat meat, but still eat less of it. Many Americans are eating meat for literally every meal of the day, 7 days a week. That's complete overkill and one may even get more enjoyment out of meat by cutting back slightly on consumption. And I'm not sure where you get that "eat less meat" would be imposed on people, as opposed to individuals just choosing to eat less meat(like I have).

The "I need to eat meat every meal" crowd reminds me of a morbidly-obese person saying "I just like food more than you do". Maybe in limited circumstances it is true, but for the most part it seems more like a pathological dependence rather than harmless desire.

They're likely changing it because security researchers pwned FALCON.

There is a way to leak the hash against which High Security mode FALCON compares the microcode for signature validation.

So hopefully you'll forgive me if I maintain my skepticism over this being anything but Nvidia iterating to close a massive security defeat by redesigning their FALCON controller to mitigate the thorough pwning that's been achieved.

I don't doubt there are other improvements, I just think the timing is pretty darn convenient, especially for being in the midst of a semiconductor shortage for going and doing a massive manufacturing change like that.

> For example, Chrome Desktop, Firefox, and IE did not enforce HPKP if they encountered a cert from a user-added CA. Why does Android do the opposite?

Your examples are all browsers. I understood that Chrome on Android will continue to support using a user-added CA added to the user store. Android and desktops behave exactly the same for web browsers.

Non-browser apps are where the differences exist. On Android you must opt-in each app to trust the user store. I'd imagine that the next step is automating https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm to bulk replace all installed apps with modified apks.
I have been developing in Flutter for a few years now, and I really enjoy the ecosystem. It is the only mobile development environment I have every really enjoyed using.

When I started, flutter worked on mobile, and web support was in beta. Now, my app works on iOS/Android/MacOs/Web. If you are a small developer with limited resources for cross-platform development, its an amazing environment.

As for Dart, it is actually one of the things I like most about flutter. I really like the parameter passing/naming syntax. It is flexible and expressive. If you are looking for something that will challenge all your basic assumptions about what a language should be, you'll be disappointed. But if you come from any c-syntax background, you will pick it up almost instantly, and find a lot of nice ways to make code more concise and maintainable that previous languages.

In my experience, Flutter is a great environment for getting things done with limited resources.

They're in a cessna, with one other person piloting. I think spending a significant time around aviation is a given, but I also wouldn't call that flying experience.

It's not like being in the cabin in a commercial airliner, you'd see the pilot doing these things, and honestly as far as plane interfaces go, the Cessna is not bad.

Here's the instrument panel. While I wouldn't say every untrained person can just "figure it out", I think there are a decent number who would at least be able to get an altitude, heading, and vertical speed reading out of that. Especially if you'd spent some time in the last 30 minutes looking at them while your pilot friend is focused on flying.

I've spent a signficant amount of time flying cessnas in MS flight sim and XPlane, but I wouldn't assume that would automatically carry over if I ended up in a situation like that, and I certainly would err on the side of caution and risk ATC thinking I had less knowledge than risk overstating it and risk something going wrong because they end up thinking I'd be confident performing an ILS approach or something.

Republican candidates winning Staten Island sometimes is not gerrymandering.

The Republican National Committee hiring gerrymandering consultant Thomas Hofeller in 2009 to draw them maps of Wisconsin and North Carolina that will give them absolute supermajorities even if they lose the popular vote by a wide margin, and then using those supermajorities to strip incoming Democratic governors of all of their powers thus instituting permanent one-party rule forever, that's gerrymandering.

My state is relatively small (less than a MB of JSON) and only changes every few hours. So I compile the state into the binary and deploy that.

I figured this was:

1) An experiment to test the level of familiarity that non-technical users have with two factor authentication. That is, does a person who incidentally enabled SMS 2FA understand that having to enter an SMS code every time they log in is a pattern called "two factor authentication" as opposed to just some weird part of Google's login workflow.

2) An artifact of a user's security preferences living in a protected space that can't be accessed by Gmail's frontend. Gmail's dev team got an order to encourage users to enable 2FA and this is the best they could do.

3) A ploy to get people to review their 2FA settings -- or to be sold Titan Security Keys. Google's security team has sent me several emails over the past few months encouraging me to buy these, claiming that I'm at an increased risk of a targeted attack. I'm not fully bought in to their motives.

(All conjecture.)
I suspect it worked in the sense that some teens took precautions. I don't believe my classmates had anything bad happen to them, but a fair few of them definitely put themselves into situations that could have been bad if the other party was a little more malicious (power imbalance, blackmail, nudes spread, etc.) I also suspect that what I heard was only the tip of the iceberg of their actual experimentations.

Like I said, some teens are still going to do stupid stuff despite being warned. It's difficult to give them both autonomy, security and privacy when they won't heed warnings. I like to believe not invading their privacy and simply teaching them is enough, but some others might feel the EU's need to be a universal helicopter parent to be justified when the consequences are too high.
1200 is VFR. That doesn’t mean null. 7500, 7600, and 7700 are used for various emergency purposes. These are transponder codes, not radio channels. It’s a code returned when the transponder is painted with interrogative radar.
It definitely wasn't the case with Back to the Future as I know the parties involved with it and everyone (me included) was very surprised that the LoC was not proactive in obtaining and preserving a print of the movie. We assumed that was a mandatory part of the process. It was sad, because I thought of the LoC as the best place to preserve media like this, as I assume they probably attract some of the world's best archivists.

1200 is VFR, which generally means “I’m flying visually and don’t need ATC help”. If you’re squawked 1200 you show up as VFR on their screen, but you still show up. That doesn’t mean null. 7500, 7600, and 7700 are used for various emergency purposes, with 7700 being the most common, and almost always accompanying a mayday or panpan. Those are transponder codes, not radio channels. It’s a code returned by your equipment when the transponder is painted with interrogative radar.

0000 is closer to “null”, but still isn’t quite. 1000 also has some “null” like properties when it comes to ADS-B. Note that what I’m saying is North American centric and not necessarily ICAO nor other areas, which can differ somewhat.

Grew up playing hockey and just assumed the point of having children was to set them against one another for sport. It's as though nobody here is from Canada. Did you not have lawn darts, potassium nitrate, and licorice cigars? I was a generation or so late to get a duelling scar, but grew up about 20miles from the site of Camp X (where we invented the CIA), and it seemed the american kids were given guns willy nilly where here it was just expected you would use the tools at hand to plan a night mission take them yourself in the event of an invasion. I'm a bit out of the loop as I have only recently become an uncle, but presumably a boy today can at least still have a pet bobcat?

> Flutter is the only realistic option for true cross platform UIs that run everywhere.

I understand that argument but 100% disagree. The web is the cross platform that runs everywhere (as in in a browser or webview). True it has many issues and some forms of it (electron) are not ideal for some use case but I believe it’s a better platform than flutter in almost every way.

You say “true” cross platform and could argue that the web isn’t “true” cross platform. But really is anything?

Yep sat in my mate’s living room with several of us pretending to be completely random people that didn’t know each other and building trust that way and then rinsing a corp once we worked them enough was just an incredible moment. Also buying carrier jumps to 0.0 and blowing them to smithereens. Thing is the way evil and decent players were allowed to interact made for deeper and more exciting and I’d argue a more realistic and genuine interaction than other games that would ban people for being unsporting as the devs had some idea of what gameplay they wanted people to follow. With Eve it’s fucking anarchic and wonderful.
Yeah, I never understood really this district thing... Do they that often really represent only the certain area? Or would it be more sane to have larger districts? Maybe in some cases up to whole state where the winners were selected in proportional way.

Then again this would allow third parties to actually gain foothold and the corrupt duopoly can't allow that.

Also this whole electoral college thing. Why is there this idiotic winner takes all method? Why not also maybe have lists. So electors would be chosen in order of list and voters could pick a list endorsing certain candidate pair?
I'm a fan of an alternative framing of it, advocated for by people like Blake Masters. I think in a well-run society, you should be able to raise a family on one single income.

Interestingly, Elizabeth Warren (who, unlike Masters, is a left-wing politician) has also used this framing in her 2004 book titled "The Two-Income Trap" [1].

Yes, this is effectively the solution that Mixed-Member Proportional Representation (MMP) offers.

The normal complaint with this is that it typically involves having closed lists of candidates who get a free ticket into parliament without any local accountability, and this is only slightly improved by having an open list system (although that requires teaching voters to mark extra ballot papers in unfamiliar ways).

Fortunately a better solution has been found and actually implemented in Baden-Württemberg, and they call it the Zweitmandat system. Basically, the "proportional seats are filled by losing candidates who won the highest proportion of votes".

"Gerrymandering is universal in any political system that has geographic units that demand representation." A unstated assumption here is a winner-takes-all election system, which is common in the US and UK, but not other countries, where parliament is proportional, and coalitions are common. It works.

A more interesting question would be how to build incentives in a winner-takes-all election system towards reducing gerrymandering, and to discuss what it would take to change away from a winner-takes-all geographical election system.
