> On 31 May 2011, the World Health Organization stated that mobile phone use may possibly represent a long-term health risk, classifying mobile phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" after a team of scientists reviewed studies on mobile phone safety. The mobile phone is in category 2B, which ranks it alongside coffee and other possibly carcinogenic substances.

> Some recent studies have found an association between mobile phone use and certain kinds of brain and salivary gland tumors. Lennart Hardell and other authors of a 2009 meta-analysis of 11 studies from peer-reviewed journals concluded that cell phone usage for at least ten years "approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same ('ipsilateral') side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use".

Idk how recent you tried this but I had the entirely opposite experience with an old Asus transformer mini (which has similar detachable keyboard shenanigans as the surface). Ubuntu had some issues rotating the screen but Fedora worked out of the box. The only complaint was that sometimes you had to coax it to bring up the on-screen keyboard, but everything else, from screen rotation to the gnome finger swiping gestures worked really well in both laptop and tablet mode.
Maybe its microsoft using a particularly strange hardware stack or just luck.
TS's type system is fun but a part of me always wonders how much faster TS's compiler would be if it was written in a compiled language (assuming "good implementation", which is a big assumption!)
Happened to a friend of mine with the FAFSA. Her parents didn't want her to go to college, so provided no money and even refused to fill out the FAFSA. Fortunately she was able to work something out with the senior administration of one of the colleges she was admitted to.

Seriously, why? The only compelling argument for monadic effect systems I see is in languages with no easy-to-use and lightweight concurrency, and this is where Go shines. I thinks this is cool and all but I don't think it can ever be justified with this added complexity in Go. I have worked much with Cats Effect in Scala, which is nice but it adds some serious cognitive overhead.

'free market' implies liberalism (Smith, Hume).

Capitalism only imply that the capital owners decide what is produced, where, how, and how workers are treated/paid. It's in the name. In china's case, it isn't pure capitalism, it's a soviet-style capitalism (or a capitalist sovietism?) so I agree it isn't faire to reduce it to capitalism.
It's not automatically a bad thing.

China has done fantastically well economically, and in terms of health care, education etc. There are other countries which have had strict population control and have done well economically - such as Singapore, South Korea. I see nothing wrong with poorer countries keeping restrictions on population growth - so that they can increase the standard of living and make sure everyone gets education and healthcare.
It's not spam. I just thought developers would be interested in the ai-for-fun tools as well.

Don't know about China and your country, but in my country they resolved unemployment rates by limiting the number of tickets that the ticketing machines print in every unemployment office. Now unemployment numbers are record low.
That is surprising, I would've thought that TS would have more overhead because of the interfaces adding extra weight. Makes me wonder what else TS could apply to. Language parsing, maybe?

These companies are well known for not just supplying the hydrocarbons, but also burying research that showed the impact of CO2 emissions, scuttling research into the same, funding misleading news and propaganda groups that dismiss such impacts and influencing authorities to scuttle efforts to switch to alternative power sources.

They aren't just passive players who share equal responsibility with us normies for heating up the planet. They are active players, without whose involvement, we may have taken solid actions much earlier when it really mattered. They shouldn't be compared to the illegal drug mafia. They should be compared to the big tobacco who did bad things while apparently staying within the law. Let's not understate or dilute their culpability in causing the major crisis that is plaguing the entire planet.

It really is absurd that people can’t even listen to such a simple rule. What is so hard about it. They really should be giving out these fines for misbehaviour.

This also reminds me of an article I once read in an in-flight magazine about this. It was saying how an airplane’s brakes work really really well, not only at 350km/h when landing, but also at 50km/h when taxiing to gate. It described an incident where during taxiing to gate after landing, somehow some animal managed to jump right in front of the plane forcing the pilot to apply max break, causing a passenger who was handling the overhead bin to die from the injuries.

Actually, just found a picture I took of the article, so here’s the original text. I always think of it when people stand up before the seatbelt sign is off.

> … But ignoring these rules can have serious conseances.
For instance: Do you really remain seated until the plane comes to a complete standstill? German travel journalist Heige Timmerberg likes to tell the story of the dog that ran across the runway in Casablanca, forcing the pilot to slam on the brakes. Brakes that work well at 350 km/h, work well at 50, too - and one of the passengers who had just emptied the overhead bin "flew from row 26 to the lavatory behind the cockpit, and was dead."

The Advantages of On-Demand Mobile App Development
Hello, fellow forum members,

Today, I would like to discuss the numerous benefits that come with on-demand mobile app development. In recent years, the on-demand economy has gained significant traction, revolutionizing the way businesses operate and enhancing user experiences. Let's explore some of the advantages this approach offers:

Convenience: One of the key benefits of on-demand mobile app development is the convenience it brings to users. This convenience factor saves time and effort, making it a preferred choice for many consumers.

Enhanced User Experience: On-demand apps focus on delivering a seamless and personalized user experience. As a result, users feel more connected and engaged, leading to higher satisfaction and loyalty.

Increased Efficiency: On-demand mobile apps streamline various processes and eliminate intermediaries, improving efficiency. On the customer side, it translates to faster service delivery, reduced wait times, and efficient communication channels.

Flexibility and Scalability: On-demand app development offers flexibility and scalability, allowing businesses to adapt to changing market demands. This adaptability empowers businesses to expand their reach, add new features, and stay ahead of the competition.

Real-Time Tracking and Transparency: Many on-demand apps provide real-time tracking and transparency features. Such features enhance trust and reliability, resulting in improved customer satisfaction.

What are your thoughts? Have you experienced the benefits of on-demand apps firsthand? Let's discuss and share our insights!

The point of patents is that you get an exclusive monopoly for the invention for a limited time, but to get that monopoly you have to publish (as a patent) the design and it's a free for all _after_ the monopoly time has passed.
You are free to license the invention to others, but there's no requirement - it's not a part of the patent system.
Edit: removed some statements for legal reasons. Bottom line is that too many weird unexpected things are still happening to peoples emails and attachments. ProtonMail isn’t helping themselves when their communication is “just upload your private key to our servers and then everything will work great again because we can sign your emails with your key for you! But don’t worry, we don’t have access to keys. We just use them to sign emails after it’s uploaded to our servers. The key we don’t have access to after it’s uploaded to our servers. That we then use to sign emails with forevermore.”

ProtonMail’s communication needs to be a lot more clear on these issues, they need a dumb docs page or slideshow or YouTube video that address all the concerns in a super concise way that can be linked when these concerns come up.

And especially they need a warrant canary that says “we’ve never handed a government the contents of a private accounts emails or the metadata for when/whom they sent/received emails from”.

Definitely not[0].

Black market sellers are often kicked off protonmail for “illegal activity”.

LavaBit was probably the last “secure” email provider, they got an NSL for Edward Snowden and chose to fold up the entire company rather than carry out the orders in the NSL.

CounterMail may deserve an honorable mention, but you’d likely want all parties that you need to communicate securely with to also have a countermail account and it’s invite-only. P.S. I would love an invite if anyone has one: HNrunnerup@protonmail.com

This argument is often cited in gun control debate. “Criminals will just buy guns illegally and law abiding citizens will be left defenceless”.

And yet, in countries with gun controls, there is significantly less gun crime.

I daresay this is the case for most laws. Yeah, there will be always be some people skirting the law, but implying laws have no effect is ridiculous and untrue.

Indeed, or put another way, nuance doesn't exist on the internet. I've seen this time and time again, where one party will blame something on capitalism or government regulation as some blanket statement, without saying which policies they're even talking about. At that point, it's a tribal opinion that was arrived at through emotional means, not logical means.
Having used (and still using) Arch for over a decade, I can tell it is probably a good thing. Maintainers seem to know which packages bring trouble after updates and they do seem to test those more thoroughly.
I have not experienced major breaking changes for desktop or other important piece of software in many years now.

For example, things like Gnome always come to Arch months after it has been released upstream. But it makes sense because Gnome team always break existing extensions and community can't really keep up so it takes a while until popular extensions gain support. And sadly Gnome without extensions is more or less useless. Maybe Fedora gets latest Gnome on day one, but it is unusable without community extensions on day one.

So kudos to maintainers of Arch!

The selection model is unfortunately a bit broken. For example shift+control+arrows and shift+down doesn't work. I believe the problem is that selection with shift isn't written to compose with other navigation.

I'm not a fan of patents, but in that case, it's not like some bigco seeking to perpetually extend monopolistic rights on some product - the inventor is alive, they made what seems like a genuine contribution to the world, and that contribution is very concrete and complete - not some hollow vaguely generic not directly usable "design".

So it's actually a case where patents are a good fit: the inventor gets to decide the life of their design (and make a bit of money out of it) before anyone can use it freely.
Is this methodology different to alternate wetting and drying?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_wetting_and_drying

If not, the practice is already a requirement of the Sustainable Rice Platform Standard: https://winrock.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/SRP-Standard-...

The principal constraint to sustainable rice production in many contexts is cost of land leveling, which context dependent, costs about USD 1,000/ha. The status quo assumption is that farmers should finance this cost through debt, which they are reluctant to do because whilst the costs of change are real, the benefits are speculative: yield may go up, water use may go down, but you might just as well be wiped out by the market.

So the big challenge here is social: how to derisk the investment for the farmer, and who pays.

They talked about doing this for AWS lambda at "gigantic scale". I assume at some point scanning all the buckets becomes infeasible.
A patent is a time-limited monopoly on an invention, so yes, preventing others from making the same thing is exactly what a patent is for. The idea being that during this time, the inventor can either be the sole source of the widget, thus profiting from it directly, or licence it to someone else. Either case means that they get "compensated fairly".
I guess I conflated juicing with blending. Seems to be an old wives tale.
From my experience, while many MCUs have settled for the big compilers (GCC and Clang), DSPs and some FPGAs (not Intel and Xilinx, those have lately settled for Clang and a combination of Clang and GCC respectively) use some pretty bespoke compilers (just running ./<compiler> --version is enough to verify this, if the compiler even offers that option). That's not necessarily bad, since many of them offer some really useful features, but error messages can be really cryptic in some cases. Also some industries require use of verified compilers, like CompCert[1], and in such cases GCC and Clang just don't cut it.

> Not really relevant.

I disagree. The whole theme of these corporate worship sessions is to praise how efficient they are, and how inefficient everything in comparison.

Claiming that these corporations are free to lie and omit expenses from their reporting to appear efficient goes directly against their supposed superiority.

> The correct metric to make the comparison on is the fully amortized cost to the government per launch.

Not really. The goal is to assess if a government institution meets it's goals in a fiscally responsible and efficient way.

The main goal of NASA is to "Expand human knowledge through new scientific discoveries." This involves all aspects of rocket science. The likes of SpaceX were only possible because NASA invested in research which SpaceX took advantage to design its production services.

Another goal of NASA is to "Address national challenges and catalyze economic growth." This also covers creating and funding demand for skilled high-tech professionals in places where there would otherwise be none. This also contributes to create opportunities in a workforce to support and develop highly specialized and experienced engineers, the likes of which can then transfer their knowledge and experience to the likes of SpaceX. Take, for example, SpaceX's own Gwynne Shotwell, who started her career in aerospace by working in government contracts for the Space Shuttle.

It's perfectly ok to argue that a government can and should buy services from private companies. It's awfully disingenuous to misrepresent both the private companies' offerings and alleged efficiency and the actual roles and responsibilities of government institutions like NASA.
Pretty good overall, except for a nit pick:

> Person B: “…. Hey, sorry to interrupt, but the story in my head is that you think owning that number is part of my job, and now you’re upset with me, or you think I’m incompetent at my job.”

Depending on the exact phrasing and group and company dynamics, I'd be worried a bit by saying something like this because Person A might think I'm trying to push off work or responsibility for some metric that I'm tangentially responsible for.
