Cool, let's distract ourselves from an emergency like COVID-19 with an emergency warning system.

Just on the general topic of the number of bathrooms increasing surely it could be related to the obesity epidemic. They do seem correlated. People getting fatter and fatter every year, they need to relieve themselves more often and of more material, this all takes time so it goes without saying they would spend more time in bathrooms.
There were plenty of phones that supported Flash, at least initially. Adobe could have done better to keep it going but I think they saw the writing on the wall early on.
However, if you have a million+ dollars you can waltz straight in no questions asked. "Here's a passport, why not buy a house whilst you're here? We don't ask questions about your criminal or corrupt past in your country of origin."
Who's in genuine need there?
It's a long departed business model. No one under the age of forty has ever bought a newspaper.
Most people 40-65 stopped reading them a long time back. I'm surprised if many people over the age of 65 who are computer savvy still read them.
Does anyone seriously think once the people described above reach retirement age they're going start picking up the newspaper?
Print media had 20 years to adjust or die and pissed it away and commercial television should have also seen the writing on the wall by the early 2000s but they pissed it away too.
a) Having eaten supposed Thai food in the USA I can tell you it's not Thai! Most of it's Chinese based.
b) You're talking about a government that couldn't organise its way out of a coupe let alone have a foreign policy. There's no way they are organised enough to do this.
It would be a great idea if it was in fact real.
It's great for pull down refresh lists etc and I even had success doing dynamic insertion when an item in another view was updated (though I had to use a different graphql client to do the inserts ironically) but it was sold as replacing all need for redux for example for state management and that it would sync seamlessly with a graphql backend and unfortunately (maybe it was me) couldn't work out how to do that so ended up using redux as well.
What I was lead to expect is that you subscribe to a store which is dynamically filled and updated by Apollo (which handles synchronising local and remote and loading from scratch etc).
They didn't need to work their backsides off to get to where they are. They just made a semi-decent product at the right time and money was thrown at them.
There are millions who just weren't there at the right time and probably far more flamboyant ones because the longer answer is the author is probably mixing up boring with stable.
I assume it was used for some tutorial?!
Not saying you can't get away with not using redux at all but this isn't an example of that. Try mobx or unstated for simple state management.
Personally my projects tend to use it because I'm used to it. Once you get your head around it the boilerplate is not too much to deal with and it slides in so nicely with react. You just need to think in a functional way.
Also features like redux-persist make it powerful. You wouldn't believe the number of apps released on the stores using RN that don't persist state and simply restart when the phone runs out of memory or gets rebooted.
Let's compare the workforce of countries with an ageing population and rapidly dropping net population with countries like Australia that are absorbing 250k immigrants per year into "self employed" (read: rich third worlder's buying a house and a passport) of course you're going come up with a figure like that.
Throw in some countries with massive populations who have also got an ageing population but have 20x the population of Portugal to make them look bad on absolute numbers and you have a winner. Of course a tiny change in employment is going to look amazeballs or on the other hand terrible.
The difference is..being in one of those countries right now but from the greedy nation of Australia is that sustainability is practised. It's not all about greed here. You don't need to destroy the planet to have a family here so seriously a big middle finger to anyone who thinks that Europe not growing is a "problem".
There are a couple of notable exceptions but the list of abandoned developer tools coming out of Google is far longer.
Given you're doubling down you're taking a massive risk as a business. As an employee you also risk making yourself unemployable going all in on Dart and Flutter.
SME to freelancer payment is much better with bank transfer. Way less skimmed off the top than CC.
Survival rates in the USA were better in the 1960s but most of the OECD now has much lower mortality rates from a diagnosis of cancer than the USA. One exception is the UK but the margin is very narrow.
What the USA is good at is over-treatment which can extend life expectancy of a cancer patient a little bit (days, weeks on average) but you could argue the quality of life is not there. This is a direct a bi-product of an extremely inefficient health system which is designed to make as much money as possible for all of the participants rather than treat patients.
As a percentage of GDP health care spending in the USA is completely out of control.
Glad to see it got so much interest. There were literally tens of thousands of people trying it out just a few hours ago.
