Not entirely. Socialism in one country was a temporary measure since the world revolution did not take on in the 1920s. The way that measure worked was to build up military and political power to force the revolution even if some countries were not progressive enough to do it on their own. Hence the slogan. Hence the USSR forcing "revolutions" all over the world.

It wasn't operating systems or hardware that was the problem with OpenSSL, it was supportimg bits of the protocol that noone actually used.

Keeping the code clean by compiling on different platforms, can only make it better and more future proof.

We nearly broke EsperNet with about 500 users which were proxies into Minecraft servers. We used a Minecraft mod called EiraIRC. The constant connection and traffic from these users required a fair amount of interaction and management between us and the staff. And Espernet is not a small network by IRC standards.

The problem is that all traffic has to be carried to all nodes brokering connections for a channel. When you have a LOT of traffic this gets onerous.

You CAN scale these channels. But it requires some experience and most people never even consider that there might need to be action taken. The Freenode admins know what they're doing, and I respect them enormously for keeping freenode as responsive as it is on what amounts of a 25 year old, bad implementation of a distributed algorithm.

WebAssembly: a binary format for the web
I didn't understand that article, probably because I'm unfamiliar with the author's other works. Is he proposing that a company be allowed to set rules regarding insider trading during the IPO? If so, I agree that in theory this would be efficient (or in the author's terminology, it would be acceptable from a consequentialist POV). But this is orthogonal to the issue. The people who want to ban insider trading would most argue that insider trading is inefficient, and therefore companies would choose not to issue stocks like this. And if they are right, we would still be in the same situation, it's just that instead of people violating a rule created by the government in order to maximize utility, they would be violating a contract created by the company in order to maximize the company's IPO price (which also happens to maximize utility).

Am I missing anything else? Did the author make a specific argument for why insider trading would prove to be efficient (i.e. why the effect on liquidity outweighed the increased information revelation?) I doubt it since the author's language suggest someone familiar with law and philosophy but not so much finance and econ.
Why would this even be desirable?

Had you been exposed to those concepts at an earlier age, maybe you would have more of an affinity for them. Maybe not. Also, one of the concepts exposed in football is leadership and hard work. I started at the age of 8 as a lineman. When I quit at the beginning of my Senior year, I would have been co-captain of the defensive backfield. Isn't the concept of meritocracy something we espouse in the startup field?

As for the brain damage scare, it'll pass. Soccer went through it a few years ago[0]. As for the concept of social stigma for playing football, I laugh. If you actually think a concussion scare 'all of a sudden' is going to sway communities with dozens of years of entrenched culture, you're living in a bubble.

That would certainly be one way to pivot, and kudos to those that do. However, I suspect that the percentage of adblocking users will only continue to grow, giving this particular solution fairly diminishing returns.
pg's argument is that if the average performance of one admitted group is better than the other the admission process has a bias. This example shows that you can have an unbiased process, but the average performance of the groups differs.
> When only one solution eventually exists, it doesn't make it the preferred solution, it makes it the nuclear option. [...] I'm suggesting that advertising-supported businesses are eventually going to have one remaining option. That isn't slanted rhetoric. That's common sense. Unless of course we come up with a completely new way for content creators to earn a living with their content outside of charging for it, or using advertising for it. Because new forms of compensation in exchange for content are popping up all the time.

You don't make any sense. Why would it become the only option when other forms keep popping up? Even with very hypothetical 100% penetration of (unblockable) ad blockers, this won't be the case.

> No one is going to change to paywalls until every has to.

You must have missed the NY times, the largest german newspaper (BILD) and other large publications switching to paywalls then. Perhaps look around some more before beating dead horses here... Also, your inflammatory language hurts your cause.
What about a journalist publishing leaked information? In such a case, it is up to the company to stop leaks. People outside the company have no obligation to help them.
Theft benefits the thief while costing the person stolen from.

If one can backup and use a fuzzy enough lens, one can just ask "how should society calculate the total benefits here" but the problem is this begs the question of whether it's proper for the state to just ask these questions.

My impression is that none of the insider trading proponents are also proponents of the view that it's not theft to take money that falls off the back of an armored car because "it's hard to who it belongs to" and "we might well benefit from this money more than whoever it really belongs to" but their arguments seem the same. Further, the average people finding money on the street probably really do need it more than your average insider trader.
Was there really a big difference - in the technology ? just the natural evolution of past efforts, technologically speaking.
So the cron job turned out to be an invented lie told to a user they essentially assumed would be too stupid to think about it. Which is it then, that they e.g. have a tired support team using a canned response that includes a lie? Or is it the founders themselves thinking their audience are fools?

Sure, separate business policy from code, but it seems unwise to assume your users are technically ignorant when your site is about inviting programmers to stream their work.
> Swift at least isn't in the same space as Rust. It's a fully garbage-collected language.

Have you spent any time reading Apple documentation?

https://developer.apple.com/swift/

"Swift is a successor to both the C and Objective-C languages."

Mesa/Cedar at Xerox PARC was also systems programming language with RC.

Going back to my comment "Remember, languages are a tiny portion of the whole eco-system. Tools, libraries and community play a bigger role.".

<devil advocate mode>

Give me Swift like Playground, Instruments integration, XCode and LLDB integration. Ability to call any Mac API the same way Swift does. Then maybe our customers will request Rust for our iDevices projects.

Give me Visual Studio integration, ability to define WinRT controls like C++/CX, create and debug COM like VC++, mixed mode debugging with .NET. Then maybe our customers will request Rust for our Windows projects.

</devil advocate mode>

Again, I am pretty aware that Rust is way better than half baked solutions like GSL + static analysis, but I have quite a few grey hairs already.

My first C++ compiler was Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS, remember when it was just released?

I also remember when C had zero presence on home computers.

Which means I was there when Ada, Modula-2, Modula-3, Oberon and derivatives were steam rolled by OS vendors betting the house in C.

As an early C++ adopter, I also carry quite a few flame war scars from being on the C++ side of the fence back on those days (vs C). As I always advocated for the C++ improved safety over what C offers.

> And Rust has the most memory-safe low-level systems code available today.

I agree, but do the OS vendors that sell the SDKs we are allowed to use, also agree or will hide their head on the sand and do another round of "worse is better" with their tools?

> By contrast, existing C++ code isn't safe C++ code. It will have to be ported, often by drastically altering the idioms in use, and that takes a lot of time.

Yes, but the eco-system is already here. Which means most companies will rather endure a slow Python 2 to Python 3 code re-factoring than move to another language.

I really want Rust to succeed and be the language I can use whenever I have to go outside JVM, .NET and mobile worlds.

However I have seen too many nice languages become victim of "worse is better" syndrome.

So sorry if my type of "heads up comment" isn't welcome.
7 figures is a huge exaggeration. You can live comfortably on 80-100k in NYC. Not everyone needs to live in Manhattan. Rent in the outer boroughs can be very affordable if you look in the right places. You can still indulge from time to time(a broadway show once a month, the random cheap concert every two weeks or so, brunch with friends from out of town) and still save a lot. I was making high 5 figures out of college and still managed to save 25% of my after tax income each year. Granted, I'd have been able to save more if I were living in say Philly or Chicago. But still it's very doable.

"Dark pattern" is a phrase that's only been applied to web design, whereas Thaler's definition of "nudge" is much broader (he certainly applies it to offline design, and I think also to direct financial incentives).
What makes you think IRC isn't centrally logged? You realise that the Freenode staff have root on all Freenode servers, right? It's not actually a decentralised network at all, it just looks superficially like one from the outside: they could log whatever they wanted at any time.

I'm not even sure the servers use encryption between each other. If they do I didn't see any mention of it on the freenode website.

Heck, given that SSL isn't even a default for many IRC clients, I suspect that in practice it's vastly easier for governments to eavesdrop on IRC than on Slack which is fully SSL, always.
Yeah, i look at os-package dependency management as largely a problem that should be left up to the os' package manager I suppose.

So, naturally just like any change, you would want to test the upgrade before rolling to prod.

What are you hoping for I guess? Im genuinely curious. Maybe you want puppet to complain before running that system X doesn't have version C of package K ?

How is that different than it failing on dpkg?

(its possible I'm not understanding..)
This is a load of BS. The reality is most people install a blocker and never think twice. Your implication that people make a value decision for every website they visit is laughable, and more importantly, exactly the opposite of what most people do.
That sounds like a question for a professional ethics board. I would assume a judge caught doing that would be sacked, disbarred, and publicly shamed, even if everything he did was strictly legal.

"Wrong" doesn't automatically mean "criminal."
I agree there is value in making useful information available to people who can't afford it. I don't think advertising is the only way or even the best way to make this happen. We used to consider this such a valuable endeavor that we had whole institutions dedicated to making information available for free, without ads. They were called "libraries".
It's a well-established shitty protocol, largely designed in the early 1990s as the simplest thing that could possibly work for the workloads we had in the early 1990s. It's terribly limited (7 bit, small message sizes, virtually no useful metadata) and in the 98% use case, its "distributed" characteristics cause more problems than they solve.

No competent person setting out to design a group communications protocol in 2015 could honestly say they'd use IRC as a starting point.
It is, still. You want separation between your paragraphs and other elements; you don't want the first and last children of a box to be separated from the edges of that box. Margin-collapsing does that (sibling boxes collapse margins together, first/last collapse with parent and shift their margins "out"), but it's difficult to do otherwise.

That said, you could do one-sided margins better if we hadn't had naked text in the layout model. If everything was wrapped in elements, then text at the start of a container element wouldn't require a margin-top on the first child element, while text at the bottom wouldn't require margin-bottom on the last child element. Naked text is a mistake. (And I just added it to the list. ^_^)
GP? Assuming you mean the poster of parent comment, no I don't know anything more than you do; I was just amused because "a lay person's understanding of microkernels" is surely "what's a microkernel?"!
I, for one, think that the march of technological experimentation and progress should stop unless we can convince specifically jarek of the value of any given project, as jarek has demonstrated that they want to become the arbiters of all value judgments.
Yes, there are (I run one), but how are they relevant to this discussion?

No GPU support => not interesting. GPUs are an order of magnitude faster. If you're doing deep learning on CPUs you're wasting your time and/or money.
I'm pretty sure most people have thought about doing this; the issue is that with our current technology, the overhead is too large to be practical. At least, that was my understanding in the matter when I was doing some cryptography related research.

On the other hand, a lot of research is striving towards that goal. A method for fully homomorphic encryption was very recently discovered, and although it is still way too slow to be practical, the fact that we finally figured out a way to do it after several decades of searching is a huge step.
> For a community of this scale to survive and prosper, it needs guidelines to encourage productive and positive experiences, and to effectively deal with negative experiences.

Nope - actually it doesn't need any guidelines for its experiences because it is software, not an ideology. You can block spam and moderate discussions in whatever forums and mailing lists you own, but to associate a programming language with your arbitrary set of social norms is absurd. If anything, it is exclusionary toward people who don't subscribe to the "your freedom of speech ends where my feelings begin" world-view.

> While a major goal of this proposal is to make the community more inclusive, this does by definition exclude people that cannot abide by the goals and principles of the code. I see this as a regrettable but necessary and inescapable design tradeoff. The implementation of the code may cause us to lose a few people, but we stand to gain much more.

You "stand to gain much more"? Who are you to decide that creating rules to exclude one group of people in order to comfort another group is a good decision? And it's not an "inescapable design tradeoff" - you can escape the design tradeoff by simply not adding your rules to the project.

> Examples of "microaggressions":

> - J is a regular poster to the golang-nuts mailing list. On one thread, they make the comment "Go's type system is so simple even my grandma could understand it."

> - Another poster points out that the comment goes against the code of conduct, since it marginalises women and the elderly by implying that something need be simple for an old woman to understand it.

The phrase "even my grandma could..." is a fairly common idiom and is not meant to be taken literally. If anything, J's comment should be ignored because J is just stating a random opinion. However, playing the devil's advocate, I could say that the 2nd poster is actually committing a cultural "microaggression" against J, and is marginalizing J for J's distinctive dialect.
The main reason this has not happened is that it requires the ad networks to trust the publisher on things like visits/impressions/clicks.

If your server has the ability to say "Hey, Jane doe saw your ad just now" when she didnt, thats a recipe for massive fraud.

You might say CPC would work and then just send to unique urls the ad network can track- This too wont work, as it allows the publisher to do things like auto-pop the link, hide it in 1x1 iframes, etc.. Overall its a security and fraud nightmare that involves huge cat-and-mouse games.

Not to mention the fact that the ad networks have no incentive to change. As more inventory drys up, the spends go up with them (competition increases) - Supply and demand, mostly.
Interesting. Apparently, there is much I don't know. I wasn't necessarily thinking about micro transactions, though. It would be nice to for example buy a 1 year full access to a site like Guru3D easily and anonomously. But yeah, I guess the profiling you mention is still a problem.
People love _using_ Airbnb, but don't want an Airbnb rental next to their home. The negative externalities remind me of cars: super useful for me, super annoying to you.
Article's author seems to defend problems rather than acknowledge their solutions.

"it comes from professional landlords who are removing badly needed housing from the local market and making it available exclusively for tourists"

Since when in modern society should commercial entities care about what is "badly needed" instead of where profit lies? Since when it's not only politicans need to pretend to care about "regular people", but commercial property owners?

"That’s true of regular hotels as well, but usually they exist in areas that have been zoned for such activity"

This seems to be the root of problem. Zoning is a socialist measure. It will create all kinds of shortages.

The whole article reads to me like this:

We've implemented this zoning measure that we knew would cause problems. And by golly it did! Now we're trying to blame these problems on all kinds of commercial entities. Make them fix things for us that we knew would arise. And we also want more regulations to fix problems caused by having regulations in the first place.
Big businesses are also accountable to the jurisdiction and laws of the nation they operate under. In the US, the federal government has universal power over corporations due to thousands of economic regulations, to go with even more powerful national powers related to the IRS, DHS, national security and justice department.

To the extent a corporation's home nation has enforced laws and regulations, the corporation must operate within that framework. Try being Microsoft, raise a heavily armed militia in the US and start storming people's homes and threatening politicians, and see what happens to you.

The US Government can easily destroy any big business they choose to. They can attack it from dozens of angles. They can compel compliance to programs the corporations do not agree with, which has occurred to eg Yahoo and others with NSA spying.

There is still no such thing as a a big non-based corporation, one without an actual home country. There isn't a single actual example of it today.
I have stayed at 4 AirBnB properties over the past month or so. The first three were great. They were - almost literally bed and breakfasts, where I interacted with my hosts and they made me breakfast the next morning and were company in the evening.

Last week I stayed at one in NYC and it was honestly weird. The host wasn't there and just left the door unlocked and all the lights off - without saying as much in an AirBnB message. Some of the outlets did not have outlet covers, leaving wiring exposed etc...

Anyway, it's been clear for a very long time that the thing that you find from a hotel is completely lacking with AirBnB: Consistency.

On the flip side, should people be looking at AirBnB as a direct replacement for hotels? Obviously that is the operating thesis, but I think a better way to consider AirBnB is as a marketplace for Bed and Breakfast accommodations. All of the problems that are brought up go away if you think of it in that context.
Research departments have always had different operational procedures, 4-5 years ago i did a project for a company called Interhyp(financial services mostly finance management loans and mortgages) in the building across them there was a Siemens facility which had cell jammers that leaked through the street if you were too close well tough luck.

Different departments and subsidiaries will operate according to different procedures based on the specific threats and requirements, this happens even in already highly regulated and restricted fields for example Lockheed Martin'a Skunk Works and Boeing's Phantom Works operate on a completely different level than their civilian and even military BAU aerospace departments when it comes to operational security and secrecy.

Not every company, and not every department can and has to operate using the same ruleset, departments that are relatively sensitive or can afford to work under stringent rules may do so, departments that can't or don't really need too won't, life isn't binary there's more than 2 ways to skin a cat ;)
What a silly headline. The actual quote is (emphasis mine)

Given how terrible the HipChat client is on Windows, it's really saying a lot that people end up choosing that over IRC.

Maybe Freenode could implement an enhanced IRC protocol and clients could opt-in to that.

I know at least one project that was very active on IRC, and they moved to HipChat for convenience. They also went full-on with the entire Atlassian stack (again, the fact anyone would choose JIRA is damning against everything else.)
At least with Android you can view and compile/install from source right? I thought that was one of the main benefits of using open source for security; that you can both verify the source is secure and also that you can be sure the source you're viewing is being used.

I suppose you also need to trust the build system and compilers though.
* time immemorial
Slack is basically IRC with "subjectively nicer" design and helpful integrations, e.g. your builds, deployment, compilation progress can show up on separate channels, you can see if somebody mentioned you on twitter etc. You get the idea. Principally it's just extended IRC, maybe they even use slightly modified IRC protocol underneath for anything chat-wise.
