> If doing that results in a stack overflow then that severely limits the utility of this approach.

There is no stack overflow. A chaining of monads translate to a blocking of the continuation. The familiar imperative sequence of blocking operations is an instance of the continuation approach, and it isn't susceptible to stack overflows.

> I find threads really hard to reason about, so "it's as easy as threads" doesn't really appeal.

Let me make it clearer: it's not "threads", as in multiple threads, but "as easy as threads" as in the simple, familiar blocking thread. There is no concurrency involved. If you can understand:

a = read()
print("hello " + a)

you understand how to work with delimited continuations (that code is actually written as a continuation, which blocks on read()); there's nothing more to it. It is simply a formalization of what it means to block a thread, and a mathematical name for what we've always done.

When you block a kernel thread, the OS takes care of all the continuation stuff -- but it does exactly that (the OS does run your single-threaded program in a continuation). Just as the OS mechanics of continuations don't get in the way of your understanding of the above code, language-level implementation of continuations shouldn't either. It is completely transparent to you -- your thread blocks, some handler does something, and then your thread resumes.

> I've not seen the term "functional-imperative" used that way, and usually the two are contrasted - can you clarify what class of languages you're talking about?

Well, it's sort of my made-up term that I use because "functional" doesn't really have a definition (try to come up with a definition that encompasses all of: Lisp, ML, Haskell, and Erlang but none of Java, Ruby, Smalltalk, JS and you'll see why), so I use the term to denote languages which we call functional (whatever exactly that means) which aren't pure, so: the Lisps, MLs, Erlang.

They will be sold to interested parties.. and hosted in the same data center. Back to square one.

It takes a price per kW-hr differential of about $0.03 before it makes sense to put miners on a plane. That's far less than the power differentials one would expect, so those miners will stay put. Just paper ownership will change hands.
That's most social interaction you've just described there. We generally converse with a projection, an idiopathic construct representative of another, of their state of mind, so we can interpret and respond to them appropriately.

Issues arise when this projected individual differs substantially to the actual. On a one to one face to face basis, one typically rapidly readjusts one's model of another rapidly, as it's free floating and has no broader corpus to fall back on. This varies when you deal with someone famous (large corpus, many precepts) or intimate (seemingly large corpus, actually selection bias and neurosis), and the model usually becomes less accurate.

Where it gets interesting is herd interactions, either on or offline. Lynch mobs, trial by media, witch burning, Internet hate machine, war - all arise from inaccurate models of the minds of others, which are reinforced through perceived (abiline!) collective consensus.

Long story short, there's no good and evil, most narrative is self constructed, this is as old as man.
This is economic imperialism. The underlying current of thought is that India is too poor/stupid/backwards to get its population online. That's pretty fucking racist.

Then India can prove them wrong but offering free full Internet access to its citizens, so that Facebook's racism costs them their investment.

You are assuming that the other services can just wait it out while people break out of FB ecosystem and discover them. Development of these kind of walled gardens significantly harm the development of independent services. That is one of the main problem.

UPDATE 2 (Oct. 3, 2011): my son is now five years old. He is now reading daily on his own, and has read himself a couple dozen chapter books, including The Story of the World, Vol. 1: The Ancient World (314 pgs.).

UPDATE 3 (Dec. 16, 2012): at six, my son switches between “serious” literature which he reads with a dictionary app, including Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, and The Secret Garden, and easier literature including Beverly Cleary books, the Hardy Boys, and Encyclopedia Brown. If his answers to regular comprehension questions are any indication, he’s understanding what he reads pretty well.

UPDATE 4 (Mar. 26, 2013): I’m delighted to report that my second son, following methods similar to those I used with my first, is now 2.5 years old and reading at a first grade level.

Some one have to pay the ISP for the service they are providing. Suppose that Facebook is providing access to all websites in free basics. Where is the business model in that. How can Facebook profit from that? May be what Facebook is saying is right: “We are not against net neutrality”, but there is no way on earth that they could provide such service for free.

What are they suppose to do? Give people free access to whole web assuming that out of their good heart they will use Facebook?

It doesn't have enough fuel, and keeping more in the booster would mean reducing the payload it could carry.

I agree with you that avoiding downvotes doesn't promote healthy discussion. However, I take exception to someone pre-empting downvotes - to me personally, it comes across as a challenge to disagree and I don't think that's helpful to a healthy discussion either.

If someone writes something without thinking about whether they'll be upvoted or downvoted, then that's great, even if I disagree with them. But writing with the explicit assumption that you'll be downvoted suggests that you're being contrarian.
NL is a lot smaller than the US (17 M vs 300+M inhabitants).

We have 100's of tool-and-diemakers here, I think Cook will need a slightly larger room for the US ones.

But I can see why he doesn't actually know about this, tool-and-die makers are not exactly hobnobbing with the jet-set. And don't forget that tool-and-diemaking is a specialization from being a machinist and you could probably find quite a few of those and train them to become tool-and-diemakers. The (much harder) sub-discipline is the one of moldmaker, and of those too there are (still) quite a few.
Whether it is 10 seconds or 10 minutes (clearly hyperbole), the point is that these notifications are difficult to interpret because of poor design.

As the attempted re-design and the commentary shows, this is not an easy problem. It takes some serious effort and consideration of many use-cases.

Instead of someone trying to "Steve-Jobs" a redesign, perhaps the best thing to do would be to devise a process for coming up with a new design. To do something like this "right" requires actual study with users-- not just a designer applying his/her talents.

FWIW, I think the OP's redesign is more clear, but that's just my limited viewpoint, it doesn't mean that it would be successful over all possible use-cases.

HN is not a black hole, information can flow out of it just as easily as it flows in. If they are careful to not disseminate their personal views on one public internet forum they should be just as cautious about voicing them on another.

The submission title is a bit misleading. First I read it as "the reason Apple products aren't made in China is because that would be cheaper".

Perhaps rephrasing to "Apple products are made in China not because it's cheaper" would be less ambiguous.
Curious, what issues do you have with i3?

Have been using it for a few years, really hits the sweet spot of easy-config + awesome functionality (stacked terminal windows with remote server load averages piped through title bar are a real nice-to-have for example). Floatable dock (i.e. scratchpad) is also pretty handy for skype, music player, notes, etc.

Only issue that's really bothered me is a minor one: with stacked windows you can't get the desktop background to show through properly with transparency enabled (via Compton or other compositor). Apparently that's been fixed in 4.11.

Anyway, no shortage of TWM options on Linux, everyone can have their (nearly) ideal setup ;-)
That makes sense and is how it's typically done up here. I read the GGP's post as a complaint against the developers not against the city/country/AHJ, who is the only one in a position to make the change (granting public right of way, or taking property via eminent domain as needed).

If Facebook is bringing in Free Basics only to get those who do not have internet access to get some, then why is Free Basics provided even to customers with data packs? I have seen in person and verified that it is the case.

Facebook has reportedly spent more than $20 million to advertise, push and lobby for Free Basics. Just imagine if that money was used to provide some MB of unrestricted internet usage to people. A lot of people would have benefited. That also begs the question, how is Facebook going to recoup that? And every answer to that question is bad for those poor users that Facebook is connecting to their own walled garden impersonating internet.

Also if people can afford to get phones that support connecting to internet (these days almost all such phones are smartphones and prices start from Rs. 2000 onwards), can they not afford Rs.100 odd to get a reasonable amount of 2G data to access the actual internet? Imho most of them can.

"Personally, I’m in favor of global adoption, but I don’t really care if it is used for more than just settlement."

If you want global adoption, why not go all the way?

Personally, I will never use bitcoin unless I have to, because I don't trust much currency these days, much less a currency/ETF that is used for illegal activities, that you had to "get in early" to make any money off of, and that people have had problems with or need to hack clients for because of problems with its definition.

I think eventually we will "regress", although I cringe using that word because I think it was always a better option, to trading and bartering directly without some flawed and inappropriate way to represent value.

The things that really matter for trade are basically services, products, resources, or food, etc. for sustenance. We should be able to share these things, and for those that don't want to share or want a workable system around sharing, they can trade.

Sure, our society's not really setup for this anymore at global scale, although we do trade services and products both at micro and macro levels. But, I think if we keep relying on (virtual) currency or similar, whether it be dollars, euros, yen, rubles, bitcoin, or anything else, then we are just setting the chessboard for something to completely screw the system.

In the end, there are things that matter, and things that don't. Money for the sake of money never mattered. And even if you think it matters, you don't matter to it. Love and life are what matters. There is no virtual currency for those things.

If I were an Apple stockholder, I'd be livid, if they would have decided to pay up 40% on those 74 billion.

In fact, everyone decides to a certain extent the amount of tax they pay via choice of residence and career to a lesser degree.

And of course 40% is an insanely high amount. USA has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates).

> In Germany we have learned our lesson, and we will fight for our privacy online on all ends.

Except dick jokes, of course.
India is certainly trying, and we've improved greatly in this regard. I don't think the West should get to decide what the rest of the world can and cannot see. Under the current internet.org setup, HTTPS does not work on feature phones, which are still a HUGE market in India. So by using internet.org, fb gets to see in plain all communication between a user and the website. Furthermore, anybody eavesdropping on this connection can also see this data.

So basically in exchange for free internet, Indians lose security and privacy. Just because these people are poor does not mean that they don't deserve these rights. Somehow, I don't trust fb to act benevolently in this situation when they'll have so much data ready to use.

Great quote from Desmond Tutu:

"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land.

They said 'Let us pray.'

We closed our eyes.

When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land."

The last time the West claimed to be helping spread enlightenment to uncivilized people, they colonized them and stole their resources and livelihoods. Fuck that, it's not happening again.

The original TRAI paper for this Net Neutrality discussion looked exactly like if it had been written by someone from the telcos. This repeated "call for feedback" attempts made by TRAI seems to be a ploy to ignore the 1.5 M+ responses supporting net neutrality that they had received during the April consultation.

If Facebook can (ab)use their monopoly and userbase to trick people into supporting Free Basics, just imagine what they will do when they monopolize access to Internet in India for most of the people? Scary!
> "and hosted in the same data center."

This is why we're disagreeing, I can't see any indication that the chips will not be used in other data centres. Where are you getting this information from?
Actually it's not as absolute in any case.

"Greatest" in what sense? Isn't that a value judgement (but without any qualifying arguments)?

If we just talk about numbers, then it's not best in many categories, not even financial ones. Heck, not even in infant mortality (57 other countries fare better).

As for quality of life and actual democracy (as opposed to two parties alternating in power forever and a crazy vote transfer system - gerrymandering), there are several candidates far better in one or the other, and some even in both terms. Switzerland, for one.

Maybe we should just call it "the country with the biggest idea for itself".
If internet.org is about Free Facebook, they should at least drop the veneer of philanthropy. Argue in favor of zero-rating with everyone else who wants to cut these deals.

In the end such exceptions will be a disaster for the tech industry: if Netflix is available without data charges why would you ever use a competitor? If you can do Bing searches for free why would you Google and pay more? Plus it's a regulatory issue (mobile networks are licensed to provide internet, not specific services) and potentially a consumer-protection/anti-trust issue.
Apple couldn't move their manufacturing out of China even if they wanted to. As soon as they started making motions that they're going to the Chinese government would slap a levy or a ban on the export of some key material component in order to protect their manufacturing industry. Foxconn employs more than a million people, and there are many times that number once you include the whole supply chain. No government is going to let a significant part of that leave their country.

Apple paid taxes on foreign earnings by foreign branches in the countries where earnings occurred. What nonsense is being dismissed is the idea of then paying duplicate income taxes, on the same earnings, to a second foreign government: in this case the United States. It's obscene to think it makes sense. The fallacy in perception is a political slight of hand to fury fund a way too hungry big government many would say.

No, this is precisely digital imperialism. Being underprivileged does NOT mean that these people should not have privacy and security.

Currently, for lots of phones still used in India, using internet.org means NO HTTPS. So FB (and any other eavesdropping party) gets to snoop on your data and browsing habits. It's not about a walled garden, it's about basic human rights.

The last time the West tried to save backwards people, they stole and murdered and raped their way to wealth. We don't need any more generosity from the West.

The US has one of the worst if not worst tax codes in the world and especially for business. Plus the simple fact remains, businesses only collect taxes, if they have not sent them in then all they have done is not sent the money every supplier, customer, employee, and shareholder, has paid as a tax.

Indirect taxes are the big slight of hand that all governments use to keep their people from knowing just how large of a tax burden they truly have. The US went further with withholding taxes.
