Without even going into the unsubstantiated assertion with #1, your comment on number 3 shows a dramatic misunderstanding of how compounding effects work. You can't use the last 20 years to linearly project like this. It is true that most scientists agree that humanity will likely not go completely extinct, but it is also true that most scientists agree that many, many individual humans will be impacted. It is tough to say just exactly how humans will be impacted, but think famine, war, major societal upheaval.

Mass transports can't substitute cars simply because of economics: yes, a bus at least half stuffed of people is cheaper than a car per passenger but people need to move from any A to B any time all other the year. If you effectively cover all possible settlements 24/7/365 you'll fail quickly pushing nearly empty or even totally empty mass transports most of the days for most of the routes.

If you try the hybrid model: collective transports just for certain routes in specific hours where they are at least half full then you get a very big investments underutilized, it's not different than the office+apartment model where the apartment get used just a bit less than half a day and the office equally for the other nearly half a day, wasting the rest of time in pointless commuting. Pointless except to farm people forcing them to zero ownership and keeping them consuming anything.
What's so strange do me is how eager and expectant people are of having rate cuts. A noisy data set improves slightly month over month, and all the headlines are "when are rate cuts?".

Rates are not going to 1% again unless there's another financial crisis. 0.25%-0.5% cuts are not going to save over-leveraged people.
Ignore the rates and everything seems equally dangerous.

People OD and die from drinking water, that doesn’t make it as dangerous as heroin.

As at Febuary, Gmail introduced new guidelines for bulk email senders to make it easy unsubscribe from by adding a value for "List-Unsubscribe"

https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126?hl=en&visit_id=638...

So unsubscribing is simply a POST request to the value of this email header (List-Unsubscribe) - which is a link and comes as part of the email headers in the Gmail API response

The alternative approach is to parse the content of the email and use regex to get the unsubscribe link using the likely words. e.g links with words like: unsubscribe, opt-out etc..

Yes, Gmail has the unsubscribe functionality. Unfortunately, you cannot mass unsubscribe. If you have over 100 unwanted subscriptions you would have to unsubscribe from each one at a time.

Hope that helps you
Of course. A trademark exists to mutually protect consumers and businesses from deceptive advertising. When a term referring to a specific product becomes a term for a product category etc, trademark protections then becomes harmful to consumers, but they still benefit the business.

That stuff was just appearing when I last worked on an RDP client for a mobile platform. At the time, it depended on the application/client region and the bandwidth/capability requests from the client. AKA, it would kick in for an application that was just dumping a predrawn buffer but not for applications that were still using the Win32 API extensively unless there were additional graphical operations going on (e.g., transparent windows).

And that is part of the fun of RDP, it has an immense number of different ways of accomplishing the end goal, and newer methods were being added to compensate for the way applications themselves were being written while the older ones remained. It was a long road of dealing with edge cases, with certain applications not rendering properly.

AKA, use a 3rd party library to draw all the GUI widgets and windows didn't have any alternative but to come up with a better way to compress and send those updates. And the last time I ran an RDP client to Windows, this stuff was still visible; older win32 applications were fast/responsive, and things like Firefox would just chug every time it hit a web page that was doing any kind of dynamic content (think scrolling an ad).
It absolutely is. Most people become addicted to something because they lacked the self-control to say "no" the first time... And the second time... And so on until it became an addiction.

Also, by saying this you're insulting every person who has broken an addiction by way of exercising their self-control until it's strong enough to overcome the addiction. Some of us don't appreciate that.

There were a lot of questions about whether Sacoolas had actually had diplomatic immunity, due to not being a diplomat and not having the paperwork a normal diplomat would have. Although perhaps it's to be expected that spies' paperwork would be irregular. There was also a claim that Sacoolas had some sort of secret diplomatic immunity under a secret treaty. Some reports claimed US spies had diplomatic immunity only while on the military base, while their families had immunity even while off base, implying Sacoolas would have immunity unless she was a CIA employee. Which she was at the time, according to some reports. Or was she merely a former CIA employee? Understandably, the CIA is not in the business of confirming such matters.

I agree with you that there is nuance involved.

I would say the precise nuance is irrelevant. Whether Sacoolas had immunity in theory is unimportant - only that she had immunity in practice.

2) Inflation is the first derivative.

3) Rate of change of inflation (reflation, disinflation) is the second derivative.

4) Rate of change of the rate of change of inflation (change in reflation/disinflation) is the third derivative.

There are three billion Android devices in active use. Writing native applications for a platform with three billion active users is niche, but not that niche. Over 100 billion apps were downloaded on Google Play last year.

There probably are more Javascript/React jobs, but there are also more Javascript/React programmers. In mid-2022, many places had trouble finding good senior Android programmers. In the past few months I saw OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity etc. looking for Android programmers.

In terms of knowing Java and Kotlin well, there are plenty of Java/Kotlin backend jobs around (don't know about that in hot startups, but outside of Microsoft-world, JVM has been the bedrock of backend for almost 30 years). So that's a logical shift out of an Android job if desired.

Also, Android gives analytics to the business that they have more trouble getting on web. On the web companies are at the mercy of Chrome, Safari etc., with Android they're writing their own app to their own specifications (with some Google Play restrictions).

Where I work, Android and iOS sometimes are ready to launch before the web team has finished their work. How does that fit into prototyping and shipping fast?

It's possible the golden days of launching an app like Instagram and getting acquired a year and a half later for a billion dollars is over, but there is plenty of money to be made. Also, even if a company does launch on web first (most, but not all, companies), if they're successful they often look into launching a mobile app. Even if they start with React Native, KMM or the like they often move to native later (although there are exceptions, I believe Discord launched with RN and it works for them - so different platforms work for different scenarios).

Have you seen the price of housing? Mortgage payments are twice what they were in 2021 for the same house, largely due to high interest rates. Of course people want big rate cuts.
In good times the worker bees' are told 'we need to be cautious for going forward, sorry, we're tightening the belt'. In bad times they are told 'we need to tighten the belt'. This didn't use to be the case. Large bonuses on good years were the norm in the USA. Businesses are exploiting employees' believing in the previous system that no longer exists in order to squeeze out a little more productivity today. But business doesn't realize they are harming their future dynamic with employees. People are catching on that the system has changed to 'heads the company wins, tails the employees lose'. Labor relations are going to go back to early 1900s adversarial style from the 1950s/60s 'the tide is raising everyone's boat' and EVERYONE will end up the poorer from it.

Stock buybacks are an illegal manipulation of the stock market and should be made illegal again. They encourage this horrible destructive to the country/economy/workers/and ultimately companies policy.
> Every language has morphemes for the simple reason that every word is at least one morpheme.

Sure, if you define "morpheme" as a collection of syllables that's meaningful to people using alphabetic script. I don't see any benefit to this compared to working with syllables directly, which is a meaningful concept regardless of the script used to encode them.
Not just Google, but the manufacturers themselves can often abandon product lines, or inadvertently break integrations with updates, or purposely stop a partnership, etc. (like Sonos's years-long feud with Google over smart products). The ecosystem is as fragmented as Android, or worse.

I don't think that's unrealistic, it all depends on which sphere of development you're navigating into.

In highly concurrent/long lived systems, you often end up using a multiprocess approach between your producers and consumers rather than multithreading. This is because it allows you to dynamically spawn new processes to consume from a shared memory without going through a bastion process managing threaded consumers. e. g. It allows you to spawn at will newly developed consumers without redeploying and restarting the producers. Note that this does not mean a different codebase.

As for the expectations, I think it's fair to highlight it. Because people tend to think that a world of applications fully developed in Rust would somehow imply no data races. That's not the case: On a fully fault-free operating system, with only 100% safe Rust applications running, you can, and will, still run into data races, because in the real world applications cross process boundaries.

Well, what she describes is the way of parenting in German-speaking parts of Switzerland. Here in Geneva, which is French-speaking, walking alone to school usually happens only at 12 years and older kids. We have a lot of differences even within our small country.
We also see humans get worse at specific things when they learn too much in general. There is a cut-off point to how many concepts we can learn with what skill. To be most effective, we have to specialize in the right things while continuing to acquire generalist knowledge. It’s a balancing act.

These architectures are less capable than brains in many ways. So, we should expect them to have such trade-offs. An efficient one should work fine on English, mathematical notation, and a programming language. Maybe samples of others that illustrate unique concepts. I’m also curious how many languages or concepts you can add to a given architecture before its effectiveness starts dropping.

According to data from 2020, the Netherlands has 30 road fatalities per million inhabitants, slightly below the EU average of 42. For comparison, the USA (when all states are considered as a whole) has 117 fatalities per million inhabitants. I'm not sure where to look for per-state statistics.

Anecdotally, even though the Netherlands and my home country of the UK are just next to each other on the ranking of motor vehicle per capita (40th and 37th), during a stay in Limburg I felt that the difference was much more stark. I saw far fewer people driving than I would have done in an equivalent area of Britain. I wonder if that means that the average Dutchman is likely to have a car, but also uses it less frequently than car users in other countries. That might partly account for the low fatality rate.

The problem is that we are adding too much CO2 to the air. In fact, we have already added too much CO2 to the air, to the point that we will have noticable bad effects within the next few decades. More importantly, all this stuff has huge inertia, so if we stopped producing CO2 right this second, we would STILL blow past CO2 goals.

If we EVER want to get back to today's climate, you know, "normal", it requires removing gigatons of CO2 from the air. From a pure chemistry energy of reaction standpoint, that will be enormously expensive. There is zero technology that can change the physics fact that combining CO2 with something that will sequester it will take more energy than we ever got out of it.

Petroenergy is explicitly a loan. We have to pay that back
