> lol us American's eat like crap and barely walk. It has not been the solution in this country

Again, you're not understanding and I'm just not sure how much more I can dumb this down.

When you are fat, the thing everyone will tell you is "eat healthier and move more"

That has been our approach to the obesity epidemic since the beginning. And it's not working.

> Individual behavior, cultural upbringing, economic circumstance, physical environment, etc. These things are way more important than any drug or policy and minimally impacted by them

Literally all of those are directly impacted by policy.

If you legitimately think culture, economy, and physical environment has nothing to do with policy, go move to South Sudan. If you're truly that unbelievably stupid, put your money where your mouth is.
Well, myself and a few hundred other contributors are behind Flutter. Happy to answer questions.

The flutter.dev page got rewritten to be more "marketing friendly" a few years back. docs.flutter.dev is still maintained by the engineers however.

Regarding who exactly contributes to Flutter, it's all on GitHub, so you can see the actual committers, e.g.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/flutter/engine/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/graphs/contributors

As for flutterfoundation.dev, it appears to be just Matt? Who used to be employed at Google and reported to me on the Flutter team but is no longer.

> For more risk averse, almost every buyer of USA governmental bonds gets "even more money back" in exchange for the initial capital.

In nominal terms, sure. In real terms, ask the banks that bought 30 year treasuries in Spring 2020 how that's going for them.
Historically speaking, we have never seen a society where women have more education, wealth and status than men. This is uncharted territory. Not that I don't fear the repercussions of having the bottom 50% of men desperate and disenfranchised. But those bottom 50% of men don't guarantee societal collapse because they're not then ones propping it up, women are.

The question might be, what will women and higher status men do about the problems caused by the bottom half men?
WhatsApp has a very narrow use case and feature set to support. Flutter is a multi-platform framework for developing apps like WhatsApp. It seems like a apples and oranges here.
How is it bizarre to compare the impact of a low number of engineers affecting millions of people. In the case of WhatsApp it was 35 engineers affecting 350 million people.

It's not Flutter by own admission, it's very likely not backed by a foundation, and I highly doubt that Google consented to its "Flutter" trademark used for such a foundation.
A problem with Wordpress and with most CGI setups is that there is no privilege separation between the script and anything else on the site. It would be nice to let individual pieces of server side script be deployed such that they can only access their own resources.

I don’t think Cloudflare workers, as deployed by Cloudflare, really tick that box either. Some of the university “scripts” systems, with CGI backed by AFS, came kind of close.
Companies are absolutely allowed to arbitrarily ban certain people or groups of people from using their services, and if you sign a contract attesting to you being allowed to use the service, you can absolutely be found guilty and/or liable of breach of contract.
Bazel is a rats nest of complexity. In my experience it does what it does very well once set up, but setting it up is tremendously complicated, much of it IMO incidental complexity.

Rolling out Bazel at my prior employer tool about one person decade of engineering time. I've talked to other companies that tried to roll it out and failed. Bazel is hard

And Bazel is not really getting any easier! Like most projects, it is getting more complex over the years as features acrete. I think there is space for a tool like Mill for less sophisticated users who can't afford to spend a person-decade rolling out their build tool
It's unlikely that the multiple CAN buses are being used to increase speed by, say multiplexing them. In general, vehicles use multiple CAN buses for enhanced security. For example: things like diagnostic ports are often on their own CAN buses so data can't be directly injected into onboard systems.
Yeah, there are advantages to the "just do it" approach to standardization vs design by committee. A lot of web technologies started out that way (arguably most of them actually). Both approaches are valid.

My sisters are two living examples of said people. They both asked me why Apple was suddenly switching the cables for their new phones and tablets, when they already had everything on one cable type (lightning) and it was convenient. Now it's inconvenient for them and they didn't understand what the big deal was with usb-c.
Yeah, the person primarily behind this is a bit of an oddball in my experience who had a somewhat contentious relationship with the team which he himself was once a part of and it’s not clear if he left or was asked to leave.

But reading that post I couldn’t help but shake the feeling that there might be other non disclosed reasons for the fork because some of the ones he did give as you pointed out didn’t make a lot of sense to me either.

The underlying physics isn’t changing in 100 years. Individual components can be nanoscale within controlled environments, but you simply need more atoms to operate independently.
When I started walking for exercise I pulled in a lot of the scenery. As I started trying to walk faster, and over the same old ground, my vision pulled in as I was concentrating on proprioception. On a leisurely jaunt you don't really have to think about what your legs are doing. When you're hauling ass it begins to matter if your left foot is landing a little different from your right, and how big that heave in the sidewalk is ten feet in front of you.

Keep in mind that you don't decide who's a terrorist and who isn't. You might be "glad" about the NSA doing their job as long as your definition of terrorism aligns with the government's but what if that ceases to be the case?

You literally just did! The problem is not representing the number, it's computing digits.
that might be true for completely passive income.

but, how about growing a fruit tree. An apple tree for example can produce 200 lbs of apples per year about 500$ a year and all you have to do is pick them off the tree and water them if you don't get enough rain.
This is likely bad even if the point was other then making money.

As someone who just quit doing high school senior photography last year I think it’s a lot more simple:

They don’t have time. I can’t tell you how incredibly hard it is to schedule (and especially reschedule) sessions with many of them. A lot of kids always have some sport or other after school activity going on. Those sports often have training before the school day, after the school day, with actual competitions or more training on weekends.

Oh, and summer is no exception.

Combine that with loads of homework and they’re being run ragged.

NPR, from another article on the same topic:

> Shipley had approved an editorial endorsement for Harris that was being drafted earlier this month, according to three people with direct knowledge. He told colleagues the decision to endorse was being reviewed by the paper's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos. That's the owner's prerogative and is a common practice.

I‘ve worked for over a year, almost full time, on an internal Flutter app that never saw the light of day (maybe later, if the stars align). Many apps just get their support section revamped with Flutter because there’s no need for that to look fancy; but they‘ll still count against that quota. Many devs prototype their side projects with Flutter, but never release them. Etc
Just looked via google, and while no one really knows, common estimates of the number of web developers seem higher than that, on the order of 27 million.

Your point may still be valid, but... is 3-5% really that high?

My country has a particularly high rate of sugar consumption. Are we a nation with a sweet tooth? Hardly, as it's inversely correlated with alcohol consumption as measured via sales figures and the process of moonshine production is greatly enhanced by the use of sugar as feedstock.

Meanwhile there's a whole movement that aims to limit alcohol availability in stores. A noble pursuit, but a misguided one, as the reported increases in alcohol sales over the past years are actually a sign of people preferring to buy instead of producing their liquor now that they can afford it.
It's a free country and a guy made a decision regarding what he was willing to have HIS company say publicly. It was his call to make. His company. Privately funded.

Thats how this whole America thing works.

Besides, who was making their decision based on the Washington Post's editorial board endorsement anyhow?

Apartheid has a legal definition which does not include provision about citizenship. See the Rome Statute Article 7. Paragraph 2 (h): https://legal.un.org/icc/statute/99_corr/cstatute.htm#art.7

> "The crime of apartheid" means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime;

The word apartheid in popular discourse is not this clearly defined, but I’ve personally never heard this provision. After all, the prototypical case of Apartheid in South Africa insisted that their victims were actually citizens of independent Bantustans and thus not subject to equality under South African laws.

But even so, countries occupying territories have an obligation to protect the people of that territory, subjugating them to apartheid policies under such occupation is at best failure to protect them from apartheid, which is still a crime under international law, and has been ruled as such by the ICJ, which actually goes much further.

That's exactly it. She (and other managers on our engineering team) doesn't fire arbitrarily or on a whim. That's not what I meant by quick. The management culture is to always give frequent and timely feedback so that the person knows how they are performing -- be it good or bad. By the time they are fired, it's pretty obvious to them (and likely everyone else) that they're underperforming. It should never be a surprise to that person when it happens (or when the opposite happens such as when someone is promoted)

I think your question is a really good one and really gets to the nuances of having both a high performing team and psychologically safe place. It's much easier said than done and requires good, consistent management habits.

I rounded too aggressively. His first iMac was the G4 on a stalk (2002). The second was one of the aluminum pre-Retina Intel models, perhaps 2012. He just purchased his third earlier this year. So, three iMacs in 22 years, but I expect him to keep this one for at least a decade too, at least 5 years, so that will get him to three iMacs in 27 years at minimum.
I love this. It's a direct contradiction of the old myth that people want "objective" journalism (whatever that's supposed to mean). People want journalism. They want an editorial angle that's relevant to the current debate. They want viewpoints and edge. They don't want some sort of detached dead "neutral" tone that just reports facts without taking a stance.

I'm not saying that's what WaPo was doing anyway, but it's the rationale used to defend blocking the Harris endorsement.

You seem like you are supportive of bad faith sales which surprises me.

The $31 is silly and everyone agrees it should be refunded. After that, OP tried to buy something listed for sale at a price and the company he tried to buy it from couldn't/didn't honor their quoted price and caused the price to go up more than double*

This is false. NameCheap is just the middleman not the seller. They are listing a domain being sold by a third party which did not honor the sale. That third party increased the price.

Is this a pedantic fight about the meaning of "owe"?

No, neither NameCheap nor the seller owe the OP anything. It comes down to the way contract law works.
