I'm guessing the GP was specifically referring to the US categorization of non-profits known as a public charity, formed under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. There are specific limitations of the types of organizations that can or cannot be 501(c)3 (the most common type of non-profit in the US), and there are restrictions on how revenue streams are balanced.

That said, "So, unless your definition of "successful" requires that you distribute surplus revenues to shareholders, then yes, it is possible to start a successful tech non-profit." is very salient and I agree wholeheartedly.
Very cool, but I think you could accomplish this easier using macros from the start. An example in Objective C: http://etodd.io/2013/11/26/auto-generating-json-serializatio...

I prefer the C++ configuration over the reflective one. It plays nicely with IDEs and tooling; I can use a debugger on it; I can run code while generating it; it gets verified by type-checking; etc. The only thing it doesn't have is the familiarity bonus of JSON.
A sale in and of itself doesn't necessarily imply a broader ideology about what it means to be a consumer. There was a time before consumer culture when we still had sales.

While consumer culture certainly includes sales, it's also about deeper things such as associating your identity and self esteem with consumption, the way those ideas intertwine with culture, the psychological structures through which those ideas are mediated, and the way it all congeals into a way of life.

>Most people owed pensions are solidly middle class.

The middle class is gone.

>They are way better off than the young people who will be paying for them.

As opposed to the oligarchs who are trying to leech wealth from both groups?

>And blaming the financial sector for the pension crisis is ridiculous.

Did you read the link? What happened to Detroit was looting and fraud. Plain and simple.

>States and municipalities entered into very risky financial arrangements because for years they made very optimistic actuarial assumptions about pension fund growth

Optimistic == We assumed that interest rates would not be dropped to zero to bail out the financial sector. This was a reasonable actuarial assumption pre-2008 and it should have been a reasonable actuarial assumption post-2008.

>Investing in those risky assets

Investing in those risky assets largely happened after the government decided to drop interest rates to zero in order to bail out the banks. Much of it was also driven by un-prosecuted fraud.
The compiler is the bar. Most people can't write useful code that would pass a C compiler.
but if you quit now to build something new you're just aspiring to get back to this point equally unprepared to take your idea from launch to success.

This is a very good point, thanks! So, even if things don't work out, we can use this project as a learning project to learn about marketing.

We've tried running some ad campaigns, but those things are terribly expensive and inefficient, around $5 per user gained, which is around the industry standard.
do you even have proof?
It's better to start with a problem and understand how to address it. For-profit companies would be an optimal solution for most human problems. Strong funding and control over business leave you with more resources.

If only non-profits work with your problem, then ask them what tech solutions they need. In some cases, they don't need technology at all, but rather funding or government support.

I would avoid "feeling good" non-profits that spend grands on noble but futile activities. Most useful solutions are those that people buy, instead of getting for free.

I'd be glad to point at non-profits in the area you're interested in.

If only it were that simple. We're very far away from understanding how a particular DNA string relates to phenotypes. All we've found to date is a bunch of configuration bits and maybe a general idea of how things might be related to each other but not much more than that.

The gap in understanding between 'here are a bunch of bits that appear to do 'x'' and 'x' is vast, far larger than the gap between say being able to build a compiler to have an executable perform in a certain way.

If anywhere that is where the real breakthrough will be, in being able to effectively map the chain of binary bits in a genome to a certain phenotype in a mature organism without any 'leftover bits'.

Once you have that chain of causality mapped out in enough detail to clearly link all causes with their effects you can start engineering something to act in a way that is far outside what we normally find in nature.

I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself clearly about all this, maybe someone more versed in the matter can chime in but the path between DNA and organism is a lot longer and less well understood than the path between a low level language program and the resulting output of that program. Just having a 'compiler' will not change much about that understanding, though once we have that compiler we may be able to advance our understanding by a more direct approach in modifying pieces of an existing genome to observe the effects in the organism. For sure it will speed things up.

edit: if we did have that understanding it would be trivial to create a digital representation of a (simple) organism from it's sequenced DNA. The fact that we are nowhere near capable of doing this is a simple proof that merely being able to create a certain sequence of bits will not give us the capability to create organisms to order.
I imagine very few people believe there should be no taxes. The question is more where those taxes go: wall street bailouts, wars in foreign countries, unaffordable pension systems, and how much is available, which clearly isn’t enough based upon the ever increasing national debt. It doesn’t seem to be ‘idiots’ vs. everyone, but more likely generation vs. generation. And having spent over a decade in the military with multiple deployments I can relate to idea of ‘free riders’ not ‘paying the price’, but again regarding taxes, I think most people are likely willing to contribute their share when it’s a fair amount and used responsibly. Determining what’s fair and how to use it is the challenge.
It's sad that you often see this overreaction on both sides of a conflict. You mete out disproportionate punishment that outrages people who would have otherwise stood on the sidelines drawing them into the conflict as well. Not to make light of the situation but it's much like the Streisand Effect with much higher stakes.

If you ignore the whole thing about how frp is not FRP, and how javascript developers really only mean frp, then a good place to start would be learning about RxJS.

FRP is deterministic and referentially transparent, frp is not. Key concepts in FRP are behaviors, events, signals; key concepts in frp is streams, observables, subscriptions. Although I'm not expert with either, there's a lot of overlap and term overloading, and I might be explaining this all badly anyway.

Well i think it is the closest ARM has to PCI enumeration right now.

Best i recall, Intel started Moblin (that later merged with Maemo to from Meego) because their mobile Atom SoC didn't provide PCI enumeration. Thus MS was reluctant to provide a Windows version for it, as Windows was highly reliant on just that for hardware management.

"Same some money. It's simple."

Except, it obviously isn't working out in practice. People can't save enough, and it's not just down to a personal failing--it's systemic.

People can't save enough because our wages have been separated from our productivity--and kept down--for the last four decades. That's bigger than the individualistic "every man for himself" type of advice that "save some money" sounds like.

Besides, the realistic view suggests that something bigger is wrong, and something better should be done, when simplistic advice like that isn't working.
"How do you know this?"

As a user, I don't. It's closed source. That's the point. What users have is only circumstantial evidence. And then there is the marketing and PR, such as the NYT article.

One of original two comments was "What would we find?" There is nothing to suggest I have read the source code.

Unless and until Windows becomes an open source project, such as the ones that are routinely discussed in this forum, where users can remove code they do not want, then no amount of "updates" or PR by Redmond is going "fix" Windows to my satisfaction. As I said, I am not expecting that to happen, ever.

There is a comment in these threads from a former Microsoft employee that confirms my suspicions about poor quality control. Are you still in disbelief?

As for your aside, I agree. There's legacy code in both. But I suspect it is far less code overall. And, in my opinion, it's in some cases higher quality than what I am getting with Windows (there are certainly exceptions: Dave Cutter's work on the NT kernel being one). Of course, I do not have the Windows source code so I can only speculate what is in there.

More importantly, the size of the software is much smaller and I can modify and recompile it.

I can see to some extent what has been added and changed over the years. I can continue to learn from the source and the people who wrote it, instead of from a marketing department.

Living in a tty is "the exact same thing" as using Windows?

Is that an example of "comparing like to like"?

I am in VGA textmode. I am not using a graphic layer.

The amount of code to implement the tty, which is available to me to read, edit, compile and redistribute, is, I speculate, much smaller and less complex than the amount of code and complexity used to implement the Windows GUI.

Pure speculation of course.

But what is more probable? The number of known NSA backdoors is greater than zero, but is small compared to the number of known lazy or sloppy programming mistakes.

That said, the likelihood that a potential exploit will be used by the NSA is very close to if not exactly 100%. You don't have to inject a vulnerability into a system when there are more than enough unintentional holes already.

Pensions are a fundamentally stupid system? Great, I can get behind that. So is employer-supplied health care. Let's replace them both with a real national pension system and a real national health care system.

You're right, people shouldn't have to depend on an employer for retirement (or health care)--that should be up to our government to provide us.

As for "violence," I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you're actually suggesting that the pensioners are wheeling their walkers up to you and shaking you down. Remember, taxation isn't violence.
The labeling mess is “preventing consumers from showing how deeply they care about this issue by voting with their dollars,”

>That's not so much the government as it is the companies doing the moving,

The companies are doing the moving because the Chinese government pegs its currency very low and the US allows its currency to float very high.

There's nothing at all inevitable about all that ridiculously cheap stuff coming from China or those abandoned factories in Detroit. It's all the result of a set of very deliberate policy choices.

>it's all about the cost of labor and in developing countries that cost is a small fraction of a developed one, no matter what their currency policy.

If labor were all that mattered all of the new factories would be built in the middle of Bangladesh rather than in the Pearl River Delta. Their labor is far cheaper.

Most of the world has lower cost labor. The work goes to China specifically because it has infrastructure of a rich nation but the currency of a poor nation.

Even with that there is no requirement for us to trade with them.

US elites also made a deliberate choice to drop trade barriers with China despite the repressive nature of the country. Again, because it serves the interests of US oligarchs.

>The 'strong dollar' is only strong relative to other currencies

What exactly did you think I meant by strong?
I guess today is my day of not groking English, but I have to ask - what do you mean by "a penny a base" and "a dime a base"?

If you expect a certain set of features (3D, higher quality display, etc.), the only devices that satisfy those requirements have smart functionality built in. The non-smart TVs I've viewed at Best Buy in the last year or so all look washed out or otherwise inferior. It sucks, and I prefer to use a streaming box versus the smart functionality, but to get the features I wanted I had to pick a smart TV.

Possibly all of them given its arguably a rational thing to do. If you look at a list of unicorns, you will see a huge glut of them are valued at precisely 1B.

People say that this is not chance that so many different businesses happen to be worth the same but that they have accepted punitive terms to stretch their valuation to 1B because the press advantages are worth the cost. This effect will also have applied to all the companies now valued above 1B because they played the same game when they were <1B and "reached" to get the label.

Sure, but I still see two problems:

1. Math.random, despite his insistence, isn't broken. There are different degrees of randomness that a programmer might need for their program and Math.random simply didn't suit his.

2. Their initial implementation of a critical portion of their infrastructure was so naïve, I almost couldn't couldn't believe it. I just seemed like such an anti-pattern to try to build your own UUIDs, discover (in production!) that they're not so good and then spend days figuring out why a built-in random number generator that ships in every browser isn't so great.

That is a very good description.

I discussed this topic with a colleague recently, and we both agreed that putting thoughts into words takes conscious effort. Though I suspect that is not so for the majority of people, whose default mode of thinking is distinctly verbal, even when not talking or writing.

I've been thinking about this A LOT as a football player (American). I'm certain I've dropped a few IQ points after seven years of being a defensive lineman. It takes me a little longer to process things; my memory is a little worse. Right now I'm debating if I'm going to make this past season my last.

That being said, if I could do it all over again, I'd still choose to play. Totally worth it.

Bangladesh is definitely the site of a fairly impressive number of new factories. They don't have the tech expertise yet (that the Chinese do have now) so it will be a while but you can expect that they'll be moving up on the ladder soon enough. Lots of textile, shoes and other lower tech stuff already coming out of Bangladesh (and other countries besides).

Governments can influence their currencies only so much before they too become overstretched and their limits are tripped well below the level at which the developed/not yet developed part would no longer make sense. We're not talking about 10 or 20% here.

The work goes to China because right now for some goods that makes the most sense to companies that have the option to choose. But this does not hold true for all goods and it will not hold true forever.

There is absolutely no requirement for you to trade with them, simply stop buying anything made in China.

As far as the lack of trade barriers goes, wasn't the US the biggest proponent of a free market worldwide?

This must be a joke and I don't get it
You're generating a random number (the UUID) then you're hashing it. It can't possibly have more entropy, and there's a chance two inputs to the hash will collide thus reducing entropy.

Hashing a counter is actually a variety of CSPRNG. Basically you're re-seeding a hash-based PRNG with whatever PRNG the UUID code uses at each run. It's well known that an PRNG cannot have more entropy than its seed. Hence, it will at best have the same entropy, and probably have slightly less.

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear in what I was suggesting with the sentence: "It's not difficult to imagine worse scenarios where the Soviet nuclear arsenal played some role."

I meant outcomes such as where a fringe general in the USSR felt it was a legitimate threat requiring a first strike, or an unmanaged collapse lead to dissemination and use of nuclear weapons. Basically, a successful policy can easily become a Pyrrhic victory.
