Answer: he's not.

Is there a standard SI unit of hatred that we could use to make meaningful comparisons?

I guess I have about 0.0018 of a congress worth of hate for Elon Musk. Or 180 microcongresses, if you prefer.
1 microcongress (US) = 1.437 x 10^-61 Fred Rogers
Autobot Silverwynde says
Elon Musk is the discount Tony Stark that you ordered from Wish.
JoeBuddha says
Sure he is! Just like Wile E. Coyote!
I don't hate the man at all. I'm utterly indifferent to him, his life, his health, his family and everything else about him.
So, he makes "cheap" rockets, which cost more than a life up by Russia. OK, good for him, his scientists and engineers are quite bright!
So, he makes a fairly cool roman candle car, good for him and his engineers. Pity that a few burst into flames that did greatly resemble roman candles laid horizontally, but hey, that's life in high energy batteries!
So, he has a boring machine, a bit smaller than other boring machines and is excruciatingly boring, as he's entirely failed to bore a hole to anywhere meaningful or even vaguely useful.
So, in my part of the world, he's really a nothingburger, flash and smoke on the news and objectively, overall, a flash in the pan of life and utterly not impacting my life in any way.
Well, until the jerkoff decided to flout the law, then force an entire government to give in to him. I remember when we arrested people for insurrection and even treason, now we embrace and worship the bastards that'll kill untold tens of thousands of people.
Still, I do have to look at things objectively. I've killed badder and smarter than him just this morning when I wiped my ass. If we're fortunate, reality and life will bite him squarely on the ass and he can enjoy COVID-19 along with his work force. If not, perhaps it can be arranged to place him and Trump into an air tight room and admire their mutual sucking of every atom of oxygen from the room.
Seriously though, until the whole break the law and endanger an entire region thing happened, I frankly was indifferent to him. That is the antithesis to hatred or love, they're not opposites, as you actually care enough to hate or love and frankly, beyond that health threat, I'd still not give a shit if he lived, died or stayed an idiot.
drivenb4u says
Thanks for introducing me to this youtuber PZ, I've been watching his videos since you shared the last one – good stuff! Yours, not so much.
stroppy says
Well, in a country that contains Martin Shkreli, Stephen Miller, (Trump, of course), and on and on… No sure where I'd put some guy who comes off like he'd be unsuccessfully marketing Calvin Klein metrosexual perfumes as a cure for covid-19. I give him a solid "meh" for be a somewhat colorful buffoon.
Musk — life imitating cartoon.
Wile E. Coyote — cartoon imitating life, apparently.

Oh, yes.
a_ray_in_dilbert_space says
Whether I will hate him depends on whether he manages to transport astronauts safely to and from the ISS–'cause you better believe if he doesn't, SpX will be gone, and NASA will take the blame.
captainjack says
The disgust of seeing dog shit in the middle of a sidewalk < 1 Musk < The disgust of stepping on the dog shit. The difference depends on the last asshole thing I know he did.
Bollocks. Our youngest was admitted to the hospital last night. She's stable and on O2.
If genius is acting like an obnoxious child and sticking one's nose into viral news stories for the purpose of self-promotion, then he's a super genius. Where ever there's a major event, he'll be there to offer to save the day, then fizzle out on his efforts and attack anyone who questions his actions. He reminds me so much of Trump.
Lofty says
Hate him all you like, but he is the major force in the push to wean the world off oil powered personal transport. As an engineer I find his antics … fascinating … to watch from a safe distance.
Jazzlet says
wzrd1 I hope your lass doesn't get any worse, is soon able to get enough oxygen from room air and is back home quickly.
I don't hate Musk, I do dislike his self-important putting himself into all sorts of situations where he has no business, and I do hope it's him along with all the others putting cash before people that get COVID-19, rather than any of the rest of us doing the right thing as best we can, even though I know it's not likely.
@lofty — "I find his antics … fascinating … to watch from a safe distance." Three-ring circuses are no longer fascinating. And I give the credit to the engineers, not the promoter. Teslas practically sell themselves, especially with social media influencers doing most of the work now. Musk's main purpose is to promote his bad business models, like the Boring Company and Hyperloop. He'll profit from them, but the cities and states offering to back the projects will waste the tax payer's money when the projects never come to fruition. He's looking for deals in which 80% of construction costs will be covered by taxpayers. It's legalized fraud because he'll profit from them regardless of the outcomes.
@Mark, we can agree to disagree on the value of his various projects. As for his engineers, without Musk they wouldn't have a place to work where there's so much innovation allowed. The Boring Company is only bad if you think of it as a side show. I see it as a model for cities to return surface streets to walking and cycling, Personal pods whizzing about underground is infinitely better than crowded diesel buses inching along crowded streets, spreading disease as they go.
You really need to be an engineer to appreciate what he's doing. A biologist will never see it.
gtmoogle says
I pity him in some ways, sure. He's got an ego problem and obsession issues, and a persecution complex to top it off. He's a capable engineer, with the money to fulfill his grand ambitions (which, thankfully, are at least pretty respectable), if only everyone would stop getting in his way with all that petty 'worker compensation' and 'SEC laws' and 'fickle investors' stuff.
Is he an insufferable media whore? I guess, but I mostly hear about his antics through people complaining about them.
Would I rather him have a billion dollars than any politician, lawyer, stock trader, televangelist? Hell yes. I and most of his investors (I'm not one) wish he'd shut up and just get useful tech made (that his employees invent, while he occasionally helps troubleshoot issues). Sometimes having a competent engineer as a head manager to make often arbitrary decisions helps deal with organizational snafus. Tesla wasn't even his company, he bought into it. He didn't invent electric cars or rockets, but he convinced people to put money into them instead of Johnson & Johnson asbestos baby powder, or yet another stock trading fund. I'll give him credit for that.
The media circus isn't why he's popular. His success is. As soon as tesla and spacex fail, he'll disappear. I don't want them to, because the products they're selling have some real benefits. The buffoon show is just what we have to deal with with a troubled, partially unhinged personality. So yeah, I've got a bit of pity, I wouldn't want to be him and I straight up couldn't handle his workload.
But despise him? You'd have to buy in to the media circus even more than he does for that.
hemidactylus says
I surely don't despise Gates and Pinker as much as you do, but at this point I might despise Musk far more than you do.
When he was pontificating about us living in a simulation because cool video games I rolled my eyes. He watched The Matrix too. He's profound. His evil AI tangent, though interesting because Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, and The Matrix (again sold on movies in popular imagination) is pretty much kicked to the curb effectively by Pinker. His underground hamster tubes from Logan's Run and a bank near you are underwhelming. Landing the reusable rockets was kinda cool. Kudos to that.
But then he turned multiple corners: calling a hero a pedo because hurt pride, saying fiduciary irresponsible things on Twitter (reminds me of South Park spoof of Alec Baldwin unfiltered on "Shitter"). Then the recent COVID related BS. He graduated to king of the assholes for me. If he's a genius it's at being a douchebag. Fuck him. I despise the POS. Fight me. You can't despise him more than I do PZ.

Snarki, child of Loki says
Elon Musk has inspired the philosophical question best known as the "modern trolley problem", in which a Tesla self-driving car is about to run over some pedestrians.
The solution to the "modern trolley problem" is
Shoot Elon Musk twice.

From your 2010 link:

I always get Elon Musk mixed up with Larry Ellison. Probably because they both remind me of, er, Ellis (Hart Bochner) from Die Hard.
microraptor says
Mark @12: He's Trump with better hair and the ability to speak in complete sentences.
mailliw says
You don't need to be a genius to build rockets.
As a rocket scientist acquaintance of mine once put it: "Rocket science isn't that difficult, you only need Newtonian physics".
@Ridana I always get Elon Musk mixed up with Larry Ellison.
We don't hear so much from Larry nowadays. Still in his heyday he managed to persuade at lot of people that his product was the best on the market despite there being no important differences between it and the competition. Still, I wonder if his boys and girls will ever get round to fixing Oracle's deeply flawed locking and concurrency strategy?
@mailliw:
Ironically Ellison is now on Tesla's board, sez Wiki. :)
He occasionally crops up in my awareness because he donated the building where I get my eyes looked after, and in the lobby there's a huge portrait of the philanthropist as a younger man, when he looked a bit more like Elon (whose first name also reminds me of L. Ron You-know-who).
Musk is a visionary.
As former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt said "Wer Visionen hat, soll zum Arzt gehen" (Those who have visions should see a doctor).
With Musk's recent outbursts about Covid-19, is he planning on calling his latest model the Tesla Vector?
Howard Brazee says
Musk is a real asshole with very nice toys.
That said, there are so many real hateful people who do real harm to this world that he's down on my hate list.
And if my wife wins the lottery, I would buy one of his toys.
I like that video's mention of Iron Man. Comic superheroes push the idea of real competent good guys fighting real competent bad guys with real people being helpless. No wonder we have so many people who believe in conspiracies and are ready to blame most anybody for our problems.
specialffrog says
@lofty: you know Musk didn't found Tesla, right? He bought a stake in it and then forced the founder out. I assume using his family's apartheid-era SA money.
And the boring company represents the future of transit as much as the monorail from the Simpsons.
davidc1 says
@24 His latest full sentence cost him 4 billion ,is that right ?
Kagehi says
Will say the same thing here I did on the video's comment thread – Elon Musk is Justin Hammer, not Tony Stark. If there are any Tony Stark types out there they are a) underpaid, b) don't have millions, and b) part of the vast DIY communities, who 1) don't have the resources to build an Iron Man suit, but 2) do, have, and could, as long as it was run using an Arduino, and/or made of cardboard, or someone magically dropped all the shit needed to make one for real in their lap, and they had 10 years to work on it, not 10 days. Then, you have the "Hammer" types, who, like Elon, are spectacular at self promotion, but whose highly paid "expert" scientists, who world for him and do all the thinking, couldn't make a suit that worked at all.
Also, I would make a minor complaint about the videos mention of Batman. Batman is more, I think, the DIYer. Maybe the comics portray him as more than that, or not, but I seem to remember that even in there he had "other people" build his tech, using huge messes of his money to pay them to develop it, and his "genius" amounted to, "Here is what I want, and what it needs to do.", with a bit if, "Yeah, sure, I know enough to fix/repair/program some of it, if it breaks while using it." But, even his "lab" such as it is, seems to be mostly focused on either a) investigation, or b) training, with a few occasional cases of, "Yeah, I had this idea, and all this cool tech I bought, from people who know how to build that sort of shit themselves, helped me make it."
This is a major contrast to Stark, who literally scavenged parts, and built his first suit in a cave, and could probably rebuild civilization from dirt in six months, if he found himself in a wasteland, without even a 9 volt battery.
Just a minor quibble, but even in this, Batman is more "believable" than, ironically, either Iran Man, or Elon Musk. lol
@specialffrog, durr, of course I know that. Without Musk, Tesla would just be another California hotrod shop converting a few dozen cars a year. Without Musk there wouldn't be a million electric cars roaming the planet. Without Musk, there wouldn't be a giant multi million dollar battery in my state that has paid for itself in little over two years. Hate him or not, Musk attracts talented engineers and makes disruptive things happen.
As for boring tunnels, the jury is out on whether ordinary people prefer fast clean personal transport to their inner city destinations, or being stuck in traffic jams enveloped in choking exhaust fumes. Trump voters and all that. As for monorails, cartoon or not, they are no more flexible than regular rail and so are doomed to be minor solutions to the transport problem.
Lofty:

The jury is not out on whether it scales; it doesn't.
robertbaden says
Anyone working on the idea of a personal transport that can attach to each other to form "trains" and use special express lanes/rails lines?
@35 Not the "rail" part, but that is a kind of.. iffy proposition, outside of a city specifically designed to have a rail run straight to your house. Yeah, maybe you could make something that could "link in", but.. its a non trivial problem, with way more moving parts (figuratively or otherwise) than either a standard rail system, or other "personal transports". That said, the rest of what you are asking is, literally, the idea that has existed for decades with self driving cars, special lanes for them, and the ability of them to talk to each other, and merge into groups, all moving at optimal speeds – and, you don't need some funky system that transitions between a road and a rail (or a bloody tube).
@John Morales, as long as there are plenty of wealthy customers willing to pay for the service, it'll take off. Poor people can ride their bikes.
Captain Jeep-Eep says
Didn't the janky electronics fit on his capsule nearly cause some kind of affrey at the ISS a few years ago?

Kagehi @36 wrote:

That idea is almost 2 centuries old. It's called a train. Or when it runs as light rail sharing the road, a tram.
And to forestall the obvious objections: self-driving car lanes do not extend everywhere either. They in fact extend nowhere at all. Whereas trains, trams and (trolley) buses exist already, and extending access to them for the same cost as building special car lanes is, I wager, a lot more effective.
And the fact that regular roads open to privately operated vehicles do mostly exist is a poltical choice.
Last sentence is not complete.Of course I meant roads open to private vehicles extending to almost every front door. And while I'm amending anyway: publicly financed almost without exception.
@39 The question was if someone was working on a system of "personal transports", which did this. The answer, using your example, would then, even when talking about Musk's nonsense, be, "No". Why? Because it would exclude the "personal" part of the equation. Oh, and the question was not, "Do we have such?", it was, "Do you know anyone working on such a thing?"
@41 I was not commenting on the point of "is there another useless billionaire techbro to fanboi over". I was commenting on the fact that the very idea of self-driving cars is stupid. We already have semi-autonomous transport. It's time we invest in that, not in techbro pie-in-the-sky dreams.
logicalcat says
Another lefty who should have followed his own advice and listened to experts. CPAPs are a form of ventilators. Donating them is fine and even if not its a well meaning mistake since CPAPs are a form of ventilator. This video explains the whole ventilator fiasco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz2gyhto-iI&t=30s
And yes I know this doctor is an Elon Musk fan. He's still not wrong. I am definitely not a Musk fan. Everything else in the video posted by PZ is spot on. Dumb ass thinks hes Tony Stark, except Tony Stark has writers to write him out of his self destructive behavior. Someone needs to inform Musk that in real life being Tony Stark is not a good thing at all.
entropy says
Can someone explain to me why you hate Elon so much? I really don't get it. I'm fine with basically whatever you say as long as it's factual and not about twitter bullshit.

He lives in his huge but slightly falling-down castle (but then it was built by the French so what can one expect) with his daughter Anne (Martha Howe-Douglas) and very teenage son Henry (Steven Kynman). Anne's best friend Charlotte (Ingrid Oliver) nearly always joins Anne on her constant quest to find fit men in the village. In fact, they think they've found a decent one in the shape of Merlin, the new handyman and wayward wizard (Lewis MacLeod). And Anne certainly isn't interested in Sir William De Warenne ("Knight errant, scourge of the Levant") (Neil Dudgeon) who lives across the way. Unfortunately he can't take a hint and is besotted with Lady Anne and Sir John thinks it a good match. Ah! what is a Lady to do! Cardinal Duncan (Jonathan Kydd) (a man of the cloth - in particular crushed silk which he loves), has to endure De Warenne's incessant plans to woo Lady Anne and has little time to peruse sweethearts of his own. Which oddly enough, he doesn't seem to mind...

#stopjumpingtoconclusions: Congressman was tweeting his kid
CNN's Ashley Killough
(CNN) – A congressional Democrat said the decision this week to publicly acknowledge that he had a daughter, a woman he didn't know about until three years ago, was difficult for both of them.
In an interview with CNN's "The Situation Room" on Friday Rep. Steve Cohen described how an Internet search for a former romantic interest led him to discover the woman has a daughter, who bears a striking resemblance to him.
[twitter-follow screen_name='politicalticker']
"My staff people looked at her pictures and they said, 'I think she's your daughter,'" Cohen told CNN Anchor Kate Bolduan.
The issue was forced into the open by a series of tweets during President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
The daughter, Victoria Brink, 24, had tweeted that she saw him on television during the speech, and he responded saying: "ilu," short for "I love you."
Cohen later deleted that tweet after realizing that it was public, rather than sent privately.
He tweeted, then deleted, again, saying: "Nice to know you were watchin SOTU(state of the union). Happy Valentines beautiful girl. Ilu."
The curious tweets, archived online at the Sunlight Foundation's "Politwoops" website (which stores deleted tweets from politicians), set off questions among some in the media and his constituents.
Following questions raised about a possible romantic relationship with Brink, a Texas State Student who has also posed as a swimsuit model, the 63-year-old bachelor went public on Thursday with the news that she was his daughter.
Cohen said the secrecy was to prevent her father from feeling hurt.
"I couldn't say anything without her permission and that would involve her father and we couldn't do that until we felt like it was necessary," he told CNN.
The man who raised her was unaware of Cohen, although the congressman has brought Brink to Washington and the two have spent time in Memphis together, including a trip to Graceland.
The situation this week, Cohen said, was highlighted by Republicans.
"The National Republican Congressional campaign committee, the Tennessee Republican Party, were comparing me to Anthony Weiner, which was absurd to start with," he said.
Weiner, the former New York congressman whose online communications with several women were revealed after he posted a public tweet.
"They were making it out like it was something that was perverted and it was disgusting to her, I'm sure, and hurtful to her and I didn't like it either," he said.
Brink's mother is Texas criminal defense attorney Cynthia White Sinatra, who was once married to Frank Sinatra, Jr., the son of the legendary singer. Brink's mother also ran unsuccessfully against then-Rep. Ron Paul in a 2006 Republican primary.
Cohen has said that he regrets not being there for Brink's childhood, but thinks fondly of how their relationship has grown over the three years since they first met - a "wonderful moment that I'll never forget," he said.

Good for Cohen & his daughter! Shame on reporters for jumping to conclusions!!
February 15, 2013 09:06 am at 9:06 am |
If this guy knew his cell and how to use it he could have shut it off during the SOTUS..This is the blantant disregard,respect from reps in both houses toward our president..It was evident as well how our justices of the supreme court treated this occasion looking like ill mannered children uncomfortable sitting in from of their hated principle knowing it was the last place they really wanted to be but forced to sit through it anyway like it or not!!This disrespect for our commander and chief has got to stop it wasn't with Bush even though we all knew how ignorent he was but we gave him respect that was due him anyway right..He won last election fair and square so get over it republicans and get on with your work you were sent there for or go home,you're done at midterms so make the best of what little time you have left,you've earned it haven't yah !!!
MountainoutofMolehill
This is a shame. What should have been a private moment between an estranged father and his daughter has now become a faux-scandal. We really need to focus more on a politicians policies rather than where they lay their heads at night. Especially when there is no story to be had.
Shame on you media.
There was a time when reporting started with getting the facts. And it's the on-line media especially that pushes these sorts of irrelevant and in this case totally misleading stories. Unlike the so called mainstream media, these newbies seem to have no rules or ethics whatsoever.
er, this is scandalous, but mainly for the fact that the man who has raised her as his daughter has never been told.... What a sleaze this Cohen is.
Good to know this has all been cleared up. No doubt the last thing our media would want is to ruin what little relationship this father and his daughter have begun to enjoy together.
February 15, 2013 10:07 am at 10:07 am |
Well, this is how those holy rollers in Tennessee play...Sick as it is.
Malory Archer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your comment makes no sense. Cohen was kept in the dark about his daughter. If the mother passed her off as someone else's child that makes the mother the sleaze in this matter. You're only bashing the guy BECAUSE he's a dem. Had he been a rethug, you would be admonishing the "librul" media for bringing it to light.
@ cantilever: How is Cohen a sleaze in this situation? The daughter's MOTHER is the one who lied to two men as well as her daughter. She let a man raise this child, knowing that he was not the father. She left Steve Cohen in the dark until 3 years ago. Had Cohen not sought out the mother he still would not know that he had a child. So, pelase explain to me how does Steve Cohen come off as a sleaze?
Wake up People!
@cantilever. THIS is scandalous??? Really??? And how exactly is it the Congressman's fault that his EX lied to her husband and him for years? From reading the article it sounds like he had no idea he had a child. The faux outage for anything democrat is getting ridiculous. And remember no one, not even people sitting behind keyboards ranting and raving but wouldn't bust a grape at a Bellagio grape festival, are perfect, not even you.
It would really be nice if the media focused on real news and not gossip.
I also would like to say, it was totally and completely disrespectful the way many carried on during the SUTU address. I even saw military guys frowning. Sad, this POTUS that wants to end wars and bring our military home, and many don't even like him.
Congratulations Steve,
How wonderful it is to find that you have a family after all of these years. Your daughter is a lucky young lady to have two fathers that care for her.
bubblehead616
Like taking a drink of water is also major news for 2 days?
Like taking a drink of water is major news for 2 days?
SoSad
Hope you have good quality time with your daughter, peace out. Media "chill"
WGAS?
Meanwhile, CNN refuses to cover the fact that the Dem controlled Senate has never passed a budget in the 4+ years President Perfect has been in office. CNN should just change its name to TMZ Light.
The real scandal is Cohen playing the faux victim card like a master craftsman.
He posted a public tweet and people in the news asked questions about it.
rosaadriana
I am glad they were reunited after all these years. The mother probably thought she was protecting her. Not clear why she didn't tell the congressman earlier though.
BravesGal
While I think this sort of stuff is nobody's business, you gotta love the fact that CNN never mentions this guy is a Democrat. Had it been a Republican, it would have been at the top of the story in bold letters. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Get over it people. This is a personal matter period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
703NOVA
This story isn't a scandal. Cohen had a love affair with a woman when they were both unmarried. She got pregnant by him but did not tell him. He found out years later and is thrilled to have a daughter. This is a happy event. I wish them all the best.
Joi Gibson
It is a shame the media is more interested in controversy rather than first getting facts and reporting on those facts.

So what. The Senate has never passed a budget. Maybe it's because Republicans have filibustered every last one of them just so that they could make this false talking point. And Democrats have filibustered the "tactical" budget bills coming out of the Tea Party House that repealed everything from the ACA to the 14th Amendment. "What difference does it make?"
BTW, are not Continuing Resolutions budget bills? The government has been running on CRs ever since TARP. That's how the Bush administration left the federal budget when he turned over the keys to Barack Obama.
apparently some miss read the article . Cohen waited until his daughter asked permission of her step father to release the information. The step father was not unaware. This was a courtesy. What is wrong with you people.? Why such a big deal. ?????
@John, and the lack of a budget effects you how?


Join your friends / any random stranger for a game of Tennis, a round of Golf or go base jumping and more, all for cash and Reputation.
Hit the Los Santos Golf Club to play a round of nine spirited holes with up to four friends that you can distract and ridicule to your heart's content.
There are 37 Parachute Jump locations all over southern San Andreas where you can risk life and limb by plummeting towards terra firma at maximum velocity. You can jump from the tops of mountains, buildings or leap out of helicopters.
Even when taking a break from the turbulent streets of Los Santos, you can still show your opponents no "love" via an ace serve and vicious backhand. This local favorite pastime can be played at seven different locations.
Become an expert shot by opening fire on targets that don't scream, alert the authorities and occasionally fire back for a change. Visit one of two Ammu-Nation locations, on Elgin Avenue in Pillbox Hill, Downtown LS and in Cypress Flats, East LS.
There are 50 Stunt Jumps in GTA Online to test your mastery over vehicular physics and ability to ignore your better judgment.
Arm Wrestling is a very primal and slightly romantic testosterone-driven challenge with very little button memorization needed. Select a radio station to set the mood and then go mano-a-mano against a challenger to see who's got more brawn and endurance.
Grab a friend for a road trip to the Yellow Jack Inn located on Panorama Drive in the Grand Senora Desert, where you can kick back and toss a few precise projectiles in this time-honored barroom game of accuracy and skill.

Cordova vs Capacitor
Try Capacitor
What is Capacitor?
What is Cordova/PhoneGap?
Why are more developers using Capacitor?
Add hybrid and web to an existing native app
Strong and growing adoption
Capacitor is Enterprise ready
Capacitor is well maintained
Migrating to Capacitor is easy
Getting Started with Capacitor??
For developers and teams evaluating new approaches to app development, this guide provides an overview of Capacitor and how it stacks up against Cordova as the preferred foundation for hybrid mobile apps.
Max Lynch
Modern web-based mobile app and hybrid app development has evolved considerably in the last few years. For those who only know hybrid as Cordova or PhoneGap, it's time to take another look at the capabilities of modern hybrid app development with Capacitor, a new open source hybrid app runtime created by the team behind the popular Ionic Framework. Note: For a quick primer on hybrid app development, check out our ebook.
Capacitor is an open source project that runs modern Web Apps natively on iOS, Android, Electron, and Web (using Progressive Web App technology) while providing a powerful and easy-to-use interface for accessing Native SDKs and Native APIs on each platform. As an alternative to Cordova, Capacitor delivers the same cross-platform benefits, but with a more modern approach to app development, taking advantage of the latest Web APIs and native platform capabilities.
It might be helpful to think of Capacitor as a powerful new browser for modern Web Apps that unlocks the full native functionality of each platform through consistent cross-platform APIs. Using Capacitor, developers can build one app and target one set of APIs regardless of the platform the app is running on, as opposed to managing multiple APIs for each target platform.
This means that, for example, accessing the Camera uses the same code on iOS/Android as it does on Electron and on the web. This makes it easy to build one web app that runs natively on mobile, desktop, and the web as a Progressive Web App!
At the end of the day, Capacitor apps are native apps. They can incorporate native UI controls and access any native SDK or API available on the platform. But unlike more traditional native apps, Capacitor apps? will likely have the bulk of the app running in an embedded WebView control that unlocks desired cross-platform benefits and efficiencies.
Like Capacitor, Cordova is an open source project that runs web apps across multiple platforms, though not Electron nor web as a Progressive Web App.?
Cordova is the open source core of the commercial Adobe PhoneGap project, and for the purposes of this discussion they can be considered equivalent.
While Cordova and Capacitor have some similarities, the projects make very different decisions at several key points, such that the experience of the two projects is very different. Capacitor, released in 2018, also uses many new modern APIs that were not available when Cordova was created back in 2009.
First-class Progressive Web App (PWA) Support
Capacitor is the only native runtime to deliver first-class support for web apps and Progressive Web Apps.
In fact, we've taken it a step further by building out a collection of UI experiences for APIs like Camera that bring the native app UI experience users expect to Progressive Web Apps. We call this the Progressive Web App OS.
On top of that, building plugins that offer web functionality as a fallback is just as easy as adding a few files to your plugin! Capacitor will only use your web implementation if the native one is not available, so users can use the exact same API when running on iOS, Android, Electron, and the Web.
Capacitor takes a "web first" approach, and believes that the core of every great cross-platform hybrid app is a quality, modern Progressive Web App. This keeps your app aligned with the rapidly evolving web platform while enabling powerful native device functionality on platforms that support it.
Simple yet powerful CLI tooling that is version managed per-app
Capacitor provides a small CLI tool that is installed locally to each app. That means there are no global dependencies to manage and it's easy to use different versions of Capacitor across every app you build.
This is a boon to teams that are building multiple apps with potentially differing dependency versions or version management processes.
Native and web development teams can work side-by-side
Since Capacitor apps are actual native apps and a key design consideration of Capacitor is embracing native tooling, Capacitor enables teams that have a mixture of traditional native mobile and web developers to collaborate on mobile app projects.
Cordova, in contrast, works through an abstraction layer that manages the underlying native platform project and source files for you. This makes it harder to drop down to native code or work with a traditional native mobile development process, and can result in custom changes being lost.
In Capacitor, traditional native mobile developers can use their programming languages of choice (Swift/Objective-C on iOS, Java/Kotlin on Android) to build UI experiences or business logic and then expose them to the Web layer through Capacitor's JavaScript-to-native APIs.
Additionally, developers can quickly add custom native code for specific platforms and optionally expose that code to the Web layer, ensuring an app team never gets stuck implementing the functionality it needs.
Capacitor adds superpowers to the traditional Web View control available on each platform, and it was designed to be used anywhere a Web View would be used. That means it can easily be dropped into an existing native app codebase, making it possible to build certain screens of the app using Web Technology without the need to make any sweeping changes to the rest of the app codebase.
This is also a great way to let other teams that may have more of a traditional web development skillset participate in the development of the app without getting in the way of a traditional native development process.
Capacitor today is installed over 1.5 million times a year, and is currently powering major production enterprise apps with hundreds of millions of users.
Top global fast-food chains are deploying in-store experiences for mobile and desktop on Capacitor. Companies like Southwest are building out all new hire onboarding experiences on Capacitor and Ionic, and popular consumer apps like Sworkit have built their latest-and-greatest versions on top of Capacitor (and Ionic 4+ in this case!).
That's just a small sample of teams building on Capacitor. Suffice to say that Capacitor is taking the hybrid app development ecosystem by storm and is a growing part of Ionic's enterprise mobile business.
Capacitor has even convinced native developers or users of alternative platforms that see the benefits of web development on mobile and are happy that Capacitor is finally providing the development experience they desire.
Support and enterprise-specific functionality available
Capacitor is truly unique as an open source project in that it has a real company behind it that is in the business of enterprise app development. That means it's our business to provide teams building mission-critical apps the support and enterprise-specific functionality they need to be successful and reduce risk.
Ionic is the creator of Ionic Framework and works with hundreds of enterprise customers building everything from major consumer transportation apps, fast-food retail apps, internal B2E apps, and a whole lot more.
Ionic is here to help with dedicated support across Capacitor and its native APIs, as well as providing advanced enterprise native features like secure token management, encrypted offline storage, and OpenID authentication. Additionally, teams can build best-of-breed user experiences on top of Capacitor using the highly popular Ionic Framework.
Capacitor is a key aspect of Ionic's mobile infrastructure and the infrastructure of its customers. That means security and functionality issues are discovered, fixed, and released quickly. Cordova, in contrast, works on a more classic group consensus system and, as it is not driven by business or support goals, does not prioritize the needs of any specific users. Cordova is also a volunteer driven effort.
Capacitor has a full time team of engineers, product management, marketing, and customer success experts dedicated to customer and project success.
And Capacitor is backwards compatible with Cordova
If your team is currently using Cordova and curious about moving to Capacitor, then it will be welcome to know that Capacitor has backwards compatible support for a large swath of existing Cordova plugins.?
Additionally, migrating to Capacitor from Cordova is well documented and straightforward.
Capacitor was designed to drop into any existing modern web app project and instantly add native and cross-platform capabilities.
To get started, follow the Capacitor Installation guide on the official Capacitor developer documentation site.
Capacitor can accelerate your organization's mobile and web development efforts, and the Ionic team is here to help along the way.

Kim Gordon: She bites her tender mind @IMMA Dublin.
Art, Ireland, Music
Los Contemporáneos / September 9, 2019
IMMA presents a solo exhibition by legendary multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordon. With a career spanning more than three decades, Gordon is one of the most prolific and groundbreaking artists today.
until 10 Nov 2019
THE EXPO
She bites her tender mind features a series of new works including recent and previously unseen paintings, drawings, and ceramic sculptures, alongside a glitter installation and an immersive video projection.
I know about Kim Gordon thanks to her participation as a lead singer, guitarist and bass player in the rock band Sonic Youth. I first heard Sonic Youth on the back of my mothers' car while she was driving the national freeway that goes from Mexico city to Morelos, listening to "Goo" on repeat.
I read her book "Girl in a Band" at a very special time in my life, learning about her struggle as women, not only in a rock band but in life, made me feel less alone in the world. It is one of my favourite books to binge read.
This time, even if her art is not what I like to see, I understood her work in this particular place and moment in her life. It felt familiar, like the 23-year-old rebel inside me came back to let go once again.
I have followed Kim go through her different experimental facets since I first met her and I love that she stays true to her self, not more pretentious than needed and always having fun. She likes to change, play, write, create and break. I believe she does things to please herself first.
Kim Gordon b.1953
Kim Gordon studied at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in the late 1970s and has continued to work as an artist since. Her first solo exhibition presented under the name 'Design Office' took place at New York's White Columns in 1981

Is Tofino, British Columbia, the West Coast's Best Kept Secret?
Published by One Day In A City
Written by Gina
Home News + Blogs Is Tofino, British Columbia, the West Coast's Best Kept Secret?
Why I Fell in Love with Tofino, British Columbia
I'm a California girl at heart, having spent my twenties and early thirties in the state and exploring it every chance I got. I love California, from the southern beaches to the rugged landscape and forests of California's northern coastline. Why am I talking about California right now when the title of this post obviously means it's about Tofino, British Columbia?
Because I feel like California is a tangible travel destination most people know about, while Tofino isn't even on the radar of most people who live just on the other side of the sea of the island Tofino is on (that would be the Salish Sea and Vancouver Island in case you were wondering).
And Tofino is like the best parts of California all rolled into one small, special place.
Which is why I seriously don't know why it's not talked about more (maybe because everyone is trying to keep it on the down low before it gets overrun with Americans; so maybe I should stop talking, but oh yeah, I'm a travel blogger, so here goes…go to Tofino, people!)
But back to why I think it's like California.
For starters, Tofino is a major surf destination. Where we stayed at Pacific Sands Beach Resort right by Cox Bay Beach, there were surfers there morning, noon, and night, most of whom I assumed were locals judging by their skill level (i.e. they were good), but visitors who wanted to surf could easily rent a board, too. Pacific Sands had a surf shop onsite and places to store your board right by your accommodation as well as numerous outdoor showers.
Surf, Sand, and Pine Trees in Tofino, British Columbia
So we get to Tofino the first night and go stand out on Cox Bay Beach and stare west with our feet in soft sand that stretches all around us for what feels like miles, and it's like I'm back in San Diego watching surfers ride the large waves into the golden sands of the shoreline.
Except, oh yeah, I turn my head to the right and to the left and I'm suddenly on a curving bay that is dotted with pine trees instead of palm trees. I spin around and I could swear I'm in Big Sur, California. Except things are green because there's no multi-year long drought here. The blue above the water is just that: blue. There's no lingering smog here. There's no crush of people milling about. The drive here was scenic and free of traffic.
It's like I'm in California, except I'm actually eons away and in some fluke land where people surf by pine trees and then go get a fish taco for lunch followed by a hike in a rainforest (yes, rain forest…of the temperate kind) and eat s'mores by bonfires. With some native art, fine dining, whales and bears, and awesome donuts thrown in.
(As I'm writing this, I'm wondering if Tofino is actually my favorite place in the world. I'll tell myself it's up for discussion and that a return trip is necessary to decide. #takemeback)
When the last three surfers made their way out of the ocean and were almost to where we were standing, I knew it was time for us to go back as well. I took one last look at the remaining tinge of pink and orange and turned to head back to the room. But in that moment, I knew Tofino, British Columbia, wasn't going to be a place I'd go to and just forget. It had wedged itself into my travelin' heart and I already couldn't wait to go back.

John Muir Trust John Muir Award
About John Muir Trust
The John Muir Trust is a UK-wide conservation charity dedicated to protecting and enhancing wild places. The John Muir Trust currently looks after some of the finest wild areas in the UK including Ben Nevis, Schiehallion, Sandwood Bay, part of the Cuillin on Skye, Quinag in Assynt and 3,000 acres on the remote Knoydart peninsula. The Trust works to campaign to protect wild land and influence policy to support its objectives. The Trust takes its name from John Muir (1838-1914), the pioneering, influential Scots-born American conservationist who was passionate about the wild.

Subscriber exclusive: video tour of Longmeadow
Published: Saturday, 15 February, 2020 at 8:00 pm
Enjoy an exclusive video tour of Longmeadow in February 2020, with Monty Don.
The UK's best-loved gardening programme returns to BBC Two on Friday 20 March, 2020. Ahead of this, we're delighted to share a behind-the-scenes tour of Longmeadow in winter with Monty Don. In this video exclusive for members of Subscriber Club, Monty gives a taste of what to expect on Gardeners' World over the coming year.
With Nigel and Nell in tow, Monty explains how the "long and very, very wet winter" has affected his plans for the Herb Garden at Longmeadow and enjoys signs of new growth in the Spring Garden.
Flooding is nothing new at Longmeadow, but Monty sees the latest deluge as an effect of climate change and not just a spell of bad weather.
In the Coppice area, Monty shares the results of his new maintenance scheme and offers a glimpse of his plans to dial up the colour with an underplanting of bulbs, shrubs and perennials.
Monty finishes our tour in the Paradise Garden, newly created in 2019. He considers how the garden will evolve and looks ahead to "long-term, subtle changes" over the next year and beyond.

Remember when I gave up coffee as my new years resolution? yeah, me either; but, I did. It's a miracle I even lasted so long without it. And it's disturbing that I can't remember how I did it. Until this week, I hadn't had a full cup of coffee since December of 2013 (I know, crazy). Yes, there were times when I sneaked a sip from a friend's coffee. But, I, myself, had not spent my money on coffee. Why? Last year, I had a terrible coffee experience, one I had never encountered with coffee before. It might have been the mix of caffeine and stress but let's just say I had a break down in the library the night before a huge pre cal midterm. To say the least, no studying was accomplished after that. Somehow, I convinced myself that coffee was unnecessary and that I didn't need it any more. I actually loved being caffeine free for a while. Coffee was always making me awkwardly shaky and digestively uncomfortable. I felt like I was hurting my body whenever I had it and the constant feeling was making me hate it until I eventually did. For a good 8 months I survived off tea and chocolate for study sessions. I'm not saying they didn't work, I mean, I graduated so they clearly did some magic.
Any way this isn't about weather coffee or tea is better. It's about habits. When Starbucks released their Pumpkin Spice Latte (my absolute favorite coffee) this month, I knew I had to get one... for old times sake? So I went against all the bad thoughts about coffee that I had spent 8 months drilling into my brain and bought one. It was so deliciously empowering it made me temporarily happy (the way most addictive things make us). So I got another one the next day and the day after that and then I ordered a skinny vanilla latte (which used to be my go to Starbucks drink when it wasn't fall). If you're thinking I overdosed on coffee... you're right. I had barely eaten all week because coffee and stress does that to me and after only a week it was starting to take a toll on me, the way it had before. Sounds like a lot like a drug, doesn't it? It probably is.
Let's just say my coffee relapse lead me to a weekend of "detoxing". It made me wonder how many times we pave our own road to failure. We know certain things don't work for us but we do them either way hoping there will be a different outcome; only to end up with the same, unsatisfying result. So why do we do it? Because it's become our habit. We need to be strong enough to change our habits, especially the ones that might affect our health because it is the most valuable gift we have. This weekend of bed rest made me realize how lucky I am to be able to wake up healthy every day and do the things I want to do (no matter how tiring they can be sometimes). I think any habit that treats you wrong at some point, is a bad one. Every time you feel the need to go back to those bad habits you need to remind yourself how low it made you feel at some point. Like the RHCP song says, "I don't ever want to feel like I did that day". Classic.
No one loves a coffee shop more than me but there is no rule that I need to drink coffee to be there. Just because every one in there is drinking it, doesn't mean I have to. I think sometimes we fall into the pressure of doing what every one else around us is doing because we want to fit in or connect with them. We need to remember to stay true to ourselves by doing the things that make us feel good (even if it's not what makes someone else feel good, it your life, not theirs).
PS- not bashing on coffee lovers or trying to convince them out of their coffee love (I feel you).

Major University Mulls Eliminating Abortion Training For Doctors
Education Headline News Political Correctness
by July 17, 2017 0180
By Grace Carr
A bill to prevent the University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty from training resident physicians in abortions is currently up for consideration by the state Senate, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Monday.
Authored by Republican state Rep. Andre Jacque, the measure seeks to reverse the law requiring UW-Madison to provide abortion training in order to remain a nationally accredited institution for OB-GYN training, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. The bill aims to end the "appalling arrangement" of Planned Parenthood purchasing UW-Madison faculty's time to perform abortions, Jacque wrote in the bill's memo.
Medical schools must teach their students how to perform abortions in order to maintain their accreditation, according to the National Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The spokeswoman for the Council declined to answer if they had ever taken away a school's accreditation status if it didn't provide students with abortion training.
Planned Parenthood pays UW-Madison physicians to train OB-GYN residents and perform abortions at clinics in Madison, Wis. because the state doesn't allow public funding of abortions.
If the bill passes, OB-GYNs that are not trained to provide abortions will have to go other states for their residencies, said Robert Golden, dean of the university's medical school. He and other abortion supporters worry that the policy change will "lead to the loss of accreditation" of OB-GYNs, and Golden alleged that "the damage will go far beyond the residency program."
Jacque claimed that UW-Madison's fears are exaggerated and he is simply "trying to get UW out of the abortion business." He referenced a law that passed in Arizona in 2011 barring tuition money at the University of Arizona from being spent on abortion training, noting that the school hadn't lost its OB-GYN residency accreditation since then, and suspected the same will be true if his Wisconsin bill passes.
"[Jacque] is trying to sever that relationship between UW and Planned Parenthood," Nicole Safar, executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, said.
Jacque rejected this claim, saying that UW-Madison doctors who want to provide abortions can choose to work for Planned Parenthood by their own accord and could easily receive abortion training somewhere other than the UW-Madison campus.
The bill will be debated in a public hearing Tuesday at the Assembly's Science and Technology Committee.

A Wagon Tabor must be deployed with one end within 3" of the owning player's table edge.
Can I clarify what constitutes the player's table edge as I know this will come up at the forthcoming event in Swindon.
c) Either the long or the short (base and sides).
If b or c then this would fall outside the usual deployment area.
ps. no it's not me who will be using them.
I would guess a) but that is a guess.
Thanks Martin - I'll pass it on to the chap concerned. Cheers W.


A Canadian scientist who helped author the exhaustive draft report on climate change awaiting approval from U.S. President Donald Trumps' administration says Canada is on the right path implementing a national carbon tax.
The U.S. report, written by scientists from 13 federal agencies, concludes that the United States is already feeling the negative impacts of climate change, with a stark increase in the frequency of heat waves, heavy rains and other extreme weather over the last four decades.
"The reality is, we need that policy mechanism to point us in the right direction because otherwise, we as humans are just resistant to change. We're like, 'Why can't we do it the way we've always done it?' Well, we can't because we've found out there are side effects," Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech University Climate Science Center, told Chris Hall in an interview on CBC Radio's The House.
"Because this document is based on the solid, peer-reviewed science of climate change it does flatly contradict many of the statements people in the U.S administration have made over the past year," Hayhoe said.


Design matters. This is a universal truth for all aspects of our lives, from business to technology. Now more than ever, design is critical to the success of the new technology that is gracing our homes and our offices. One area where the design importance may surprise you? Voice control in the conference room.
While AI personal assistants are already pervasive in our cars and homes, they've been slow to move into the workplace—until now that is. Soon, AI assistants and the use of voice control will be used within our business offices to create productivity and a higher level of collaboration. Before we can take advantage of this technology, we must consider the design of our offices and meeting places and how these voice activated devices will fit in existing designs.
Businesses can purchase the best equipment on the market for voice control. However, without the correct placement of the equipment and lack of correct room design, it will all be in vain. Let's discuss the impact of AI assistants on room design and how you can prepare.
Your voice control equipment is an important part of your AV or audio-visual system. In your meeting spaces and conference rooms, you may have large monitors for project viewing, speakers and microphones for voice and even lights for better visuals. When it comes to this system, the room design is of utmost importance.
For example, a meeting space with only one monitor for viewing would not be behind the audience. Lights that are made for better visual would not point directly into the audience's eyes. Design can create a space for collaboration or a space for frustration. And now, a meeting space must be made for virtual meetings as well as physical ones.
With voice control now on the horizon, design becomes paramount for effectiveness. Even if you have a perfect meeting space now, there will be changes you will need to make for using AI assistants such as Alexa for Business. Let's discuss some of these changes in more detail.
Depending on the devices that you choose, they will have limits to how far you can be from the equipment for the command to be heard. And before you choose devices, you will want to get an idea of the size of your meeting or conference room.
Businesses will want to be able to issue commands gently, without needing to repeat or use a louder tone. During meetings or conferences, it is impossible to yell across the room to a device that is located too far away from your voice. The key is to create a more productive meeting, not a louder one.
Businesses will also need to consider other voices during discussions and how this will affect the voice control system. An AI assistant that picks up on words from the audience may try to interpret them as a command, creating confusion for all.
As much as speaker and microphone placement matters, the acoustics in your conference room matter too. Unnecessary echoing can inhibit the proper use of your voice control devices and can harm the audience's ability to understand.
Room designs will need to incorporate sound-absorbing ceilings to their meeting rooms to reduce noise and create a better environment for listening and speaking. These ceilings and other sound-absorbing materials will also help to reduce echoing in large conference rooms, creating a space for listening and speaking together.
Room design also hinges on the furniture and fixtures that are placed in your meeting spaces. To ensure proper sound, echo reduction and ease of communication between you and the voice assistant, furniture should be soft to absorb sound. Hard furniture will deflect sound, create sound waves that bounce and effect echoing and noise.
We may also see the use of acoustic panels for both design and sound-absorption in office spaces. Placed on walls around your room, these panels absorb noise to create clearer soundwaves between the speaker, the audience and the voice control devices.
Proper integration of an AI assistant and voice control system requires collaboration between the business and the vendor integrating the devices. Business leaders will need to understand how they conduct meetings or conferences and be able to demonstrate their needs and concerns. Testing may need to be carried out to ensure the voice control devices are in the proper areas and to make sure any issues are caught prior to their use.
It is critical that both AV systems and AI assistants are implemented and created for each specific user environment. With this technology being used in many different arenas, the main task is to implement it specific to the business' unique needs. From small meeting rooms to large and open conference spaces, voice control has the ability to change the way you communicate and the way these spaces are designed in the very near future.
