I also really think Flutter trying to make a generic UI is idiotic at worst and misguided at best, given a lot of software groups will/would likely be designing different UIs for each platform given the differences in the OSs anyway. And what exactly is preventing you from doing that? it is a GUI engine/library. It does not force you to use a certain widget if you think another one is better suited.
If you somehow think Flutter is 100% cross platform on everything and not just "mostly" like Xamarin you're wrong. No, I'm not.
In Flutter you write one single piece of code, and the GUI code is the same for iOS and Android. The single code base is not even "portable", there is nothing to port.
In Xamarin, you write C# code for the Android API and different code for the iOS API. While the C# code for BL is portable, I have as many code sets as I want to support platforms.
Business logic and all the meat and potatoes basically are though which is way more important in my opinion. Not on a mobile platform where 90% of the code you write is GUI.
... I live in a sparsely populated Canadian province. Nice, so you have universal health care.
Also a lot can't afford it. Nonsense: as you have universal healthcare!
They certainly don't need more pressure from people who have an unusable vehicle in their driveways. No idea what that is supposed to mean. What do you care if my vehicle in my driveway is unusable?... wait for an hour for an ambulance as it is. Yeah, but that ambulance brings the doctor already. So... you prefer to drive yourself and risk being stuck somewhere... why?
And if matters are really tough: the helicopter is certainly faster than your car... regardless if gasoline driven or electric.
WTF: why do you idiots always bring up stupid edge cases (which are wrong anyway) to argue why electric cars don't work?
I"m waiting for someone to have a heart attack or other serious medical emergency at home and their car isn't charged enough to make it to the hospital. What exactly is the difference between a car not charged enough or a car not having enough gasoline?
Sorry, to rub it into your face: but if you are to stupid to call an ambulance but want to drive your beloved ones yourself to hospital, you either are an idiot, live in a third world country, or both! (or you have no health insurance...)
Right now they only work for 20% of the people 100% of the time. In your country/place perhaps. In my country they are convenient for 99% of all people.
I want to be able to drive out to my cottage and not worry about having to charge before turning around and driving back. so your cottage is 500 miles away? Or you plan to visit a cottage nearby and then spend your time there driving around 500miles?
They casually run extension cords all over the lawn, without proper shielding or grounding in the snow and rain... In my country extension cords have grounding build in. Thy are shielded just like any wire by plastic/rubber. You want to tell me you see folks running blank wires around?
I live mostly in Thailand: the extension cords here even have their own fuse!! And they stop working if the grid frequency is shifting to much, aka: you plug the extension cord in and a power drain, the cord/plug does not connect if the grid frequency is out of shape already.
In our days breaking fluid is nothing you usually change. Sometimes you have t refill it a bit, but changes less than every ten years are completely unnecessary.
I mean, Merkel was Schroder's protegee, who was in turn Kohl protegee. Rofl. Merkel is Kohls protegee... Schroeder is from the other party, SPD, and has nothing to do with Kohl. However he ruled in a "great coalation" together with Merkel.
Of course, with such stability, The stability was not such great. The Greens together with the SPD under Schroeder, planned the nuclear exit. After Merkel became Chancelor, she canceled the exit. But after Fukushima she re-established the exit, albeit with prolonged run time of the remaining plants.
The only thing that is continuous is the shift to renewables. And behind that programs to help house owners to improve insulation etc.
The european democracies are fundamentally different than the american one. After all we have no stupid president who thinks he can rui^Hn the country. Oh, the french have...
but if you fill your diesel car with biodiesel and park it at the airport for 2 weeks while on holiday, you may find a nasty surprise when you try to start it again and the fuel has precipitated solids. That is bollocks.
And if you ever had bought some oil in a super market to make salad, you knew that.
Any wind or solar capacity you used to convert CO2 to fuel would be energy diverted away from reducing coal use in electricity generation. There are always surplus peaks. And At night you usually have more wind power than you can consume or store.
The city efficiency of a Tesla 3 is 25kwh per 100miles. No idea if it is more efficient in a city or overland... but I'm surprised it uses/needs so much power/energy.
Fertility in a female body can change basically over night (yes, her rhythm would say she is fertile in 10 days, but suddenly she is tomorrow). And then again male sperm can live inside of the female body minimum seven days, some say up to 12 days.
As for IQ, if you don't believe that heightened intelligence allows for better capacity for learning, Yes, it does. But it does not mean the person in question is actually learning something.
problem solving and critical thinking ability, As long as they have not learned 'problem solving', or 'critical thinking': no.
In many Chinese department stores, a checker totals up your items and bags them, then gives you a receipt, and then you go to a separate cashier desk to actually pay. This way the owner has to trust or monitor only the one cashier, and not the six checkers. In Thailand is it the opposite way around, you pay and get the stuff bagged and get a recipe. In the exit area your bags are checked versus the recipe...
But just FYI, glyphosate resistance didn't spread to nearby plants from the transgenic ones, it evolved in them. How do you know that?
We know since the 1930s that horizontal gene transfer between plants does exist.
it evolved in them. Selection pressure from continued spraying of glyphosate promoted the evolution of resistant weeds How do you know that?
Watched them evolving?
I get what you're talking about, but that's not how it happened. Sorry, the likelihood that your parent is right, is probably a million times higher than your point of view.
imagine what our world might be like if the average IQ was just 20 points higher. That alone is worth some risks. From an ethical point of view: that only means, the psychopaths in business and government have a stronger grip on the less priviledged, those with less IQ.
The ethical question is: do you want gene editing on perfect healthy embryos? Why? Is the edited gene transferred to off springs? What is better: if it is, or if it is not?
Do you want to be dependent in future generations on elite doctors performing the editing? How do you control them? Will there be a black market (well, if you ban it, then most definitely)? If there are government regulation, will it spiral into a GATACA world?
Higher IQ does not mean much. E.g. you don't win a chess game because your IQ is higher. You win it because you know more about chess than the other guy, or are mental more stable and make less mistakes.
Or lets go to computer science... a higher IQ nearly means nothing if you don't have a grasp about architectures or many other things, simplified: if you want to repeat the mistakes of people before you instead of learning from them first, your IQ helps you nothing.
Anyway, the problems with gene editing will be how to integrate it into society. And I doubt countries that have no affordable healthcare will have a good path for it. Some have not even a way to handle abortions in a peaceful way.

Getting hacked has usually nothing to do with encryption but with stupidity.
E.g. if I call you and ask for your credit card number, would you encrypt it somehow over the phone call?
Would you give it to me?
plus all of the laws of thermodynamics ... are working against us.
Actually: no!
Thermodynamics has nothing to do with quantum computers nor Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle have anything to do with it ...

Reduced demand brings prices down, not up.
In 101 (american) text book economics: yes.
In the real world: no.
I just want to deny the middle east their revenue source.
Wow, how ignorant.
The oil in "the middle east" is harvested by european and american oil companies. The "owners" of the land and oil get peanuts for it.

Idiot ...
I'll assume you also know the one about anecdote and data.
I guess if you have enough anecdotes, you have enough data, too.
