Flutter should pick sensible defaults, in this case most agree that text should be selectable

Are you maybe talking about .Include() which you need to call when loading related entities?

Uh, that's a great idea, has this ever been proposed formally?

Artefacts and stamps bring joy by being able to show your friends, maybe your friends like looking at your wallet, but mine wouldn't...

Although only a paragraph is dedicated to the topic, I think this essay is more about the wonders of biology.

I've been thinking about this more lately, how cells are more or less the nanomachines we read about in sci-fi. Animals and plants are living machines, much more compatible with humans than the machines we have created - yet the investment in artificial machines dwarfs the natural ones... (I make this statement without evidence :)

Probably, Facebook pays zero tax in Australia, and I'm sure the government will be taxing this tithe...

I don't know, but can't you buy loot crates in valve games that have non cosmetic abilities?

The primary way for the government to communicate with the public should never have been allowed to be a foreign, private third party

To be honest, good. I don't want the government to use Facebook as the primary/only mechanism to communicate with the public...

I don't believe we do, but I think the government may be thinking that now would be an excellent opportunity for someone to give it a go (our prime minister has a funny saying "if you have a go, you will get a go")

While that is probably technically true, in reality the Australian government is unlikely to make Australian businesses comply, giving them a competitive advantage - I think this is a protectionist policy, but the right won't admit to that because it goes against their "free market" ideals.

With your experience, what do you recommend?

Wouldn't it still be over the network/IPC, unlike SQLite?

Yep

I meant to say groups of humans

A somewhat interesting fact is that by this definition two groups of humans can be different species simply by not being able to reach each other due to a impassable barrier

Apples to oranges if it's not electric

How do you transact in crypto without internet?

Maybe that's musk's long term plan with satellites

But when your children are with their friends, and their friends fall over, do they laugh? Maybe their friends aren't as confident

Most times I see faang it's in the context of tech jobs, and Netflix is notorious for its wages - just my perspective as an outsider in Australia...

Do children understand that nuance? I would have thought they would associate people falling with laughing

Surely laughing when your child falls over leads to them enjoying others misfortunes

>user's expectations for the web have grown astronomically

Have they? I don't see that in my user stories

Are most people here doing B2B? I assumed it was mostly b2c

Is there anything wrong with doing all your work in the database, other than the version control/deployment complications?

That's fair enough though isn't it? Products are for people, organisations want solutions

>GCP, Google Docs, etc... contracts goodbye. Especially with government customers

They've already done that, Google's market share in government is approaching zero. They just aren't a B2B company, unlike Microsoft

So basically recycle bin rather than shredder

I suspect customer as product owner works really well for consulting, imagine all the billable hours

Very interesting, I have a small traditional farm - have you done any work with staple crops?
