> It does have the excuse that it was being developed before Vulkan

This is not true, Mantle was first. AMD donated the code to khronos and it became/was developed in public. Half way through Apple announced it would do its own thing and beat Vulkan to v1.0.0.

Apple might have had a v1 before Vulkan but they're still dicks for not helping build a unified standard around AMDs generous once a generation offer.

You can leave butter out in an air tight container.

Just get the right kind.

Whilst I agree with your point, I'd also like to see an additional strategy employed.

How about emergency vehicles broadcast on 5Ghz their intended route (for the next 300 meters) or just that they are blue light in the area.

This would only be active in a blue light situation. Manufacturers can then add a detection and warn the driver.

A while back I heard about car to car communications, but I heard next to nothing these days, this is a great use case if you ask me. If someone has more details of recent developments, I'd love to read more.

Teams is electron, so you're still in the browser and an abstraction from the hardware.

LYNX Whiteboard does pressure and with the 7.4 release later this year it will add an ink bleed effect. The question is if your hardware supports pressure data.

Disclosure, I work on the project.

Last year I saw a charge point added to a public curb parking area near me.

It's about half the height of a parking meter. The power is right there under the pavement. Probably cost £800 to install, which could generate £200 in revenue each year.

Not every charger needs to be a super charger.

Getting lots of 11kw chargers in every parking bay would be a higher priority than everywhere having super chargers. Most people could keep topped up and those doing long trips use the faster charging points.

You're forgetting about the small inventor. If I'm sitting in my garage and come up with a cool idea that takes me 5 years of knocking on doors to get funded, then I'll get screwed by your approach.

I'd like the waters around me to be cleaner. I read that New York used to be clear water because of all the oysters. This same natural process is being tried near me in the UK. But I think more funding is needed to scale up to a billion shellfish.

I'd also like to setup a charity that buys land and turns it into woodland. Effort for that is happening but not within 100 miles of me.

These two things would massively improve my life and those around me.

Limited liability companies are there to protect you.

I've known half a dozen wealth people who had gone bust 2-3 times before being running their current business.

They make hay whilst the sun shines and expect the market to change in the medium term. Triggering a reset.

I had to go look it up, the clause was: Issue: Violation of Malicious Behavior policy

With this as the explanation: Potentially malicious external APKs within the App.

The App had a link to our website on it's dashboard, our website had a download for all installers (we're cross-platform) and it was the same APK but because of potential for it being malicious, they suspended the app with no recourse. (We did remove the APK download, but couldn't update the App to remove the link to the website)

This was in 2018 and we had been in the store for about a year at that point. It was a patch update that triggered it.

We had an app in the store and a download on our product page.

Months in, a new update and Google banned the app forever with no recourse.

You can distribute it but not as you. T&C violation.

We had to create a new app and remove the download.

Before The Brexit vote, the UK prime minister David Cameron went to Europe to get a "better deal" for the UK. What he came back with didn't answer the people's problems with sudden mass migration.

What should have been proposed was a unified Europe border force. Where each member state takes its share and also send resources to help manage the southern border.

Leaving the problem to Spain, Italy and Greece is the worst approach. The 1 million migrants in 2015 really was a dry run for what will happen when Africa is too hot.

The EU needs to plan now for receiving these people, because you can't send them back.

> Microsoft has had superb documentation for decades

No, they've had lot's of documentation. That's not the same thing. For decades it was very shallow with no examples. You'd get an enum list with a half sentence explanation.

The last couple of years they've really upped their game. With detailed examples, explanations and even source in multiple languages.

To me Qt's documentation was the benchmark, but the latest documentation from Microsoft has really caught up.

> blatant skimming off the top

That skimming off the top is via ownership of shares. I wish we had a culture that rather than savings, we invested. If the masses did that there'd be much less cause to complain and more right for ordinary people to vote on company board members that promote better values.

My first thought was that teaches me to do the bear minimum and then sit back.

That doesn't make me feel comfortable. Luck is a factor in life but we want people to work to give them the best chances.

Perhaps a lottery where each positive attribute gives a greater chance of winning.

To help with latency. The line will be quieter for longer periods meaning less congestion. Meaning when you want something it won't need to wait it'll feel instant.

Also, you'll have economy of scale. If every network kit was 25Gbit, then that gets cheaper for all.

Also, the cost of installing is usually the most expensive part, not the hardware. Why no future proof for the next 40 years.

I'd agree with that statement. Especially when people claim Bill Gates eradicated polio.

He matched funding with what Rotary international raised, they've been at it for 35 years and Mr Gates gets the glory!

They did the hard part of standing in the streets collecting money, running events. When the Gates foundation had all the money outright!

This is an old joke: Those downloading Chrome.

Allowing pension investments in residential property would only make house prices go higher and hurt lower income families, that's not ethical.

As for ethical investing, there are plenty of options in the pension market: https://www.youinvest.co.uk/articles/investmentarticles/8684...

Personally, I've shifted away from etfs and buy actual shares with voting rights. Everyone can be an activist investor with a SIPP.

I'm more interested in the legal precedent that could be set. Is intellectual property up for grabs if nobody else claims it?

Craig Wright has been proven in court forging documents. He's not going to get caught and clearly satoshi is most likely dead or never coming back.

One of the original reasons why he didn't want to connect his old wallet was fear of a bug which would empty his bitcoins.

Hence the whole original claim where he needed to use his own laptop and software to sign a phrase using a satoshi key.

> If we’re talking about advanced aliens showing up in person, then we probably just acquiesce to whatever they want, or die resisting.

I don't get this, our history indicates this but at the same vein as we have grown in empathy. Why wouldn't an advanced civilisation also not grow in empathy? They'd have already solved the energy problem so their needs should be about understanding different perspectives.

Probably just me but it seemed overall poor reporting on the whole incident. News channels had "experts" basically reading Wikipedia facts.

Way too many economist were asked their opinions, which were all prefaced with "it could be". Never once did I see an interview with a container ship captain, civil or marine engineer.

Big News these days just seems to be about regurgitating shaky videos from social media.

I'm really curious to know how this will pan out, the UK should get warmer because of CO2 but with the current stopping we should be colder.

Seems like the UK might stay the same but be a bit dryer?

You're probably in breach of your finance agreement. A UK youtuber a couple of years back financed an M4, got some mods added, BMW finance called him up and said he had to pay the balance of the finance in 28 days.

He clearly didn't have the funds and was at risk of losing the car with all the added mods.

Nobody should consider they own a car if it's financed. But they are liable for the bad things that can happen.

Beware of on the fly compression, it adds to network latency if you aren't careful. It's an important metric that gets overlooked in many articles on compression.

All bets are off. Covid showed we don't need bums in seats for tech jobs and people can be trusted.

Brexit will only have an effect if the government do something big like make a massive tax haven for certain industries and there's only talk of increasing taxes to pay for Covid.

Pick a place for the people not the scene. Be a digital nomad until you find a connection.

The UK is good for a market to sell into because of the strength of the pound and because it's a service based economy. These two things are not going to change.

My recommendation is "Stop Drinking Now" by Allen Carr.

Watched Nikki Glaser explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LUm51Z-Ii0 (8min)

Ordered the book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stop-Drinking-Now-Allen-Carrs/dp/18...

Now I so much more energy and feel so much better all the time.

As someone who creates software for the education space, in my experience Comic Sans is picked in schools because it has the 'a' in the shape that you actually write an 'a'. This helps when teaching primary school children.

Some schools will got out of their way to buy special fonts but most will default to Comic Sans because it is ubiquitous.

A friendly warning, don't upgrade to WiFi 6 just yet, wait for WiFi 6E to future proof yourself. That adds 6Ghz channels, which obviously would contain next to no contention this early in the deployment.
