Yes and it has gotten much better in recent releases. On the other hand switching to an other sparql impl takes about 2 weeks of work in evaluation and deployment. We can currently switch to GraphDB or oracle sem net without further effort. Blazegraph stardog are easy to switch too. Others would require a bit more work.
Those are valid points. My first language, BASIC, didn't require libraries. You could just enter those two statements and it would figure out the libraries and types required, from the context. It was my understanding that the additional "overhead" of C is to direct the compiler to make more efficient code, and to head off certain kinds of failures of larger programs.

But still, I think your point stands. The tools that beginners like to use, whether the underlying "language" is represented by text or graphics, tend to be fairly self contained with zero overhead and a built in lookup system for library functions and user interface design, and those systems tend to be implemented as graphical software.

What about all the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNE)?
The nuke is extremely destructive and extremely dangerous, but its not inherently wrong, they have been used to close gas wells by the Russians, and I am pretty sure the US had the plowshares program.

There are definitely some arguments that we could have used conventional explosives for those purposes, but my point is that a nuke is just a tool, its the people who decide to use it admirably or despicably.

In fact marriage equality, and the increasingly broad acceptance of homosexuality in America, is an extraordinary accomplishment. And it's only going to keep getting better. That contrasts sharply with the majority of the world, that is the exact opposite and opposed to marriage equality.

> If you exclude the places where murder happens most, of course you appear to have a low murder rate.

Not excluding at all. The whole of the US has a murder rate 1/3 that of Russia, and on par with Amsterdam. Few Americans as a percentage live in very high murder rate neighborhoods or areas. Those areas have extremely high murder rates, the other 99%+ of America where most people live does not. That's an exceptionally critical distinction. The worst areas of eg Chicago do not threaten most of the people that live in Chicago, most of those citizens are under very little risk of being murdered or harmed by that crime. It's context dropping to pretend otherwise. To pretend that all of Chicago suffers from an equally high murder rate is absurd.

> Perhaps you have not paid attention to the news. Quite literally hundreds of black people have been shot by US police this year so far.

In fact I do more than just watch the headlines, I read the stats. Police caused deaths have been falling for 40 years. The US is almost so diverse at this point, that it will soon have no majority. The parent comment claimed unarmed minorities were being killed left and right. In fact, there are typically around 500 police caused deaths per year in the US, a small fraction of which are unarmed minorities that are shot, and a fraction of which are unjustified in terms of use of force. Nearly half of those deaths are white people, not minorities. To put these numbers in context, China executes 2,500+ people per year, with some record execution years that are truly astounding. They've executed more people in the last 10 years, than cops have killed in the US total in the last 100 years.

> Asians in America are a relatively privileged minority. Now look at how other ethnic groups fare. Not so rosy.

I find it fascinating how you excuse the success of Asian Americans by slandering them as privileged. Fact: Asians in America are among the richest Asians on earth; Blacks in America are the richest blacks on earth; Latinos in America are the richest Latinos on earth.

> If you're rich.

Nope, America has the world's largest middle class, and has good upward mobility:

"A surprising and increasing number of middle-skill workers are moving up rather than down the economic ladder."

The fact that the US has one of the highest standards of living, median incomes, and median disposable incomes, proves the point easily. You very clearly don't have to be rich at all to do well in America. The US also has one of the highest rates of college degree acquisition in the world.

> Google Apps will drain your battery

Google Apps will also drain your battery if you are in a region where Google has no network-location data yet, because then Google will turn on your GPS, and send to their servers the pair of GPS-coords and strength of networks.

If you live in a suburb in Germany where almost no networks are known to Google, this means if you enable location services your GPS will try to get a fix 24/7, eating your battery in about 2 hours.

This is probably going to be an issue in China, too, considering that Google doesn’t have location data there.
Knowing as much as I know about China, I somehow feel it was considerate of them not to arrest the person or hack into his computer. They sent some guys to make him stop.

> Not excluding at all. The whole of the US has a murder rate [...] on par with Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, a dangerous city, has a murder rate of about 4.4 murders per 100,000 population.

The entire US, including the empty rural bits, has a murder rate of 4.7 per 100,00.

But if we include all of Holland we see a rate of less than 1 per 100,000 population.

Your comparison of a single dangerous city with the entire US is dishonest.

Let's look at a single US city: Detroit. Detroit has a murder rate of 44 per 100,000 population.

Amsterdam, one of the most dangerous cities in Western Europe has a murder rate of 4.4 per 100,000 population.
Nobody is complaining about those cases. The vast majority of disputes never even make it inside a courtroom because many laws are clear and simple. If you have a good law then nobody ever talks about it, or needs to.

What people want to change are the areas where the law is a mess. Divorce, patent litigation, etc. Laws that criminalize innocuous behavior and allow prosecutors to overcharge defendants at whim. And a common characteristic with these messes is that spending a lot of money on lawyers will significantly improve outcomes, so that people who can, have to -- or they get screwed. Which is what happens to the people who can't.

I've seen so many ridiculous "hacking" sequences in films that I really wasn't expecting this series to go into as much realistic detail as they do. Also most hacking stuff in films is at its worst when it comes to the dialogue which somehow always has to have something to do with shutting down a "mainframe".

But this series does a great job both from a tech and dialogue perspective. There's even a scene where the main character and the CTO of another corp (trying not to spoil anything), have a conversation about gnome vs. kde.

EDIT: after doing some reading looks like the writer/creator is responsible a lot of this realism see: http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/06/24/mr_robot_gay_c.... Here's an interesting reddit response feed from him: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3bp1zz/i_am_sam_esmai...

In Northern VA they have the #1 or #2 worst traffic in the country. They knew there was going to be growth, but no roads were built to handle it and no rights of way were purchased when they were easy to purchase. I know someone who worked in the Federal Highway Admin at the time (late 60's early 70's) and recalls how they tried to do rational planning for the expected growth but were shot down. They were told that building roads would just cause growth. Now they have had the growth and don't have the roads. That's definitely worse than having both. Contrast this with the other side of DC where MD put in the roads and set aside rights of way. They are way better off. Not perfect by any stretch, but better.
This feels rather suspicious to me. Either the police are complete idiots (because people have forked his code and you can still get it from the forks) or there is more to the story.

It would make more sense to just send a DMCA takedown for that plus all forks to ensure that the streisand effect doesn't come into play. Because now I gotta grab a fork and squirrel it away - even though I'm in the US I feel like this is important stuff to keep.

This reminds me of the "copy list" expression in Python:

In [3]: a is b
Out[3]: True
In [4]: b = a[:]
In [5]: a is b
Out[5]: False

Usually this kind of "optimization" is done to avoid copying large ammounts of data in memory, but as you said, unless it's widesepread knowledge or explicitly stated, it can lead to some confusing situations/bugs.

> In fact marriage equality, and the increasingly broad acceptance of homosexuality in America, is an extraordinary accomplishment.

It is an accomplishment, for sure! The Western world (not just America) has become much more tolerant of gay people.

And yet, while the US has had white people getting more tolerant or even accepting of white gay people, white people have not been getting more tolerant of black people.

In fact, the US has recently stepped backwards in some places, such as the end of the Voting Rights Act.

By all means, celebrate the progress that some people have made in the US. But bear in mind others have made none.

> The US is almost so diverse at this point, that it will soon have no majority.

Majorities and minorities matter less than who holds power. In Apartheid South Africa, black people were the majority.

> The parent comment claimed unarmed minorities were being killed left and right. In fact, there are typically around 500 police caused deaths per year in the US, a small fraction of which are unarmed minorities that are shot, and a fraction of which are unjustified in terms of use of force.

Only a few of which are unjustified? Really? In most civilised nations, police shoot orders of magnitude less people.

Also, the idea that it only matters if unarmed minorities are shot in the US is abhorrent. In the US, you may legally carry arms.

> Nearly half of those deaths are white people, not minorities.

The fact poor white people are also shot is itself alarming.

> To put these numbers in context, China executes 2,500+ people per year,

China isn't a rich, Western nation. It's not a fair point of comparison.

> I find it fascinating how you excuse the success of Asian Americans by slandering them as privileged.

It's not slander, and I don't mean to say they face no discrimination, but they do face a much easier time than, say, black people in the United States.

> Fact: Asians in America are among the richest Asians on earth; Blacks in America are the richest blacks on earth; Latinos in America are the richest Latinos on earth.

Yes, but absolute (if you can even call it that: exchange rates vary) wealth doesn't matter. US Black and hispanic people are living in poverty by US standards.

> Nope, America has the world's largest middle class, and has good upward mobility:

It also has a massive number of people in poverty who cannot move up the latter.

> You very clearly don't have to be rich at all to do well in America.

The whole "upward mobility" concept relies on you eventually being rich. If the metaphorical ladder never reaches you (and for millions of people, it never does), no, you don't do well.

And by "rich" I do not mean upper class. Middle class people are, relatively speaking, rich.
And how would DMCA apply in this case?
The Chinese worker can't participate in the US market because as you said, it's too small even if he was allowed in. So that's not an alternative that might have happened. He couldn't do it in China because either because the value of the RMB was too low for him to buy a nice imported car and phone. Factory workers now can afford iphones of course, but only because of the exports they're producing.

With the US worker and consumer being the same person - I'm not so sure, we're mainly talking about manufacturing, where most people don't work - The rest of the consumers would otherwise be subsidizing the overpaid US worker. Is it right that all consumers (people) in America pay a bit extra in charity to a minority of people who somehow aren't being as productive as they could?

What kind of solution do you propose? More freedom of the labor markets, or less, or something else?
I'm from there, I think the 'difficult' part is, that there might be tons of success stories on getting out of the country but none will give you a definite route on how, especially if you are already high profile. The things move around inside china are mostly per incident based, rules and regulation means almost nothing because every step of the way is dependent on the interpretation (and of course, mood) of the officer who can stamp on your paper.

I guess the most low profile thing for clowwindy to do is do as police have instructed and lay low for at least 1 year. If after that he is allowed to travel abroad then he can apply to big co like Google/Facebook and apply visa with work permit.

Go ahead a tax it. Who cares? All that does is cut the content producers out of any cash they may have earned from website ads where people access their streams.

Increasing its cost with a tax will drive people to access content based in other regions, from USENET, from filehosts, from torrents, etc....

The people who have these ideas are quite obviously still living in the era of paper and video tape, where the only content was provided by an original content producer.
In fact it's not non-sense.

The word of emphasis is regularly.

A rough average of 500 police caused deaths per year across 20 years. It spikes and drops by significant amounts by year, but that's a reasonable ballpark average and is near The Guardian's number.

Now break out how many were unjustified uses of force.

Now break out how many were not white (nearly half the people killed by cops are white).

You're talking about maybe 40 or 50 unarmed minorities shot dead by police each year, out of around 140 million total minorities (40% minority base, plus 12 million minorities that aren't citizens). And this is in a country with police that are clearly too violent.

Your odds of being murdered by police, as an unarmed minority, is about one in 2.5 to 3 million. To pretend unarmed minorities are being regularly shot dead by police is beyond ridiculous.

I generally like Uncle Bob, but he isn't a Smalltalker and didn't demonstrate any insight into Smalltalk's unpopularity in that talk.

Worse, this is hardly the first or only time a prominent Rubyist ignorant of Smalltalk has publicly attacked it. Sarah Mei did so in a talk two years ago, mocking it for not having any conferences of its own (ESUG, Pharo Days, and Smalltalks apparently don't count), and she and Steve Klabnik recently had fun tweeting anti-Smalltalk quips back-and-forth.

Given that most of the non-awful stuff (where "awful" means, for example, syntax too complicated to be described by a CF grammar or horrible performance) they like about Ruby was lifted directly from Smalltalk, you'd expect Rubyists to be extremely deferential and respectful towards Smalltalk and Smalltalkers, but they aren't. Instead they're arrogant and condescending despite being ignorant, validating all of the well-earned stereotypes of Rubyists.

As for why Smalltalk "died" (cf. pharo.org) I would say it was too expensive, both in licensing terms and hardware costs. You could outfit entire teams with Borland or MS tools for the price of a single seat license for Smalltalk. Some vendors would charge (and still charge) a percentage of your revenue forever, which is insane. Then Java came along, and it was free.

Smalltalk also missed out on the open source revolution, not having viable libre implementations (Pharo, GNU) until relatively recently.
