Pretty much. One ideal might be for a flow chart to come alive and actually be the structure of your application itself, rather than just a reference or an aid.

I suppose that while visual programming excels at conveying topology and structure, it can be weak at a low level due to the tedium involved. Traditional code is arguably better suited for low-level grunt work, at least for most people.

A hybrid solution might be best. For example: a message travels from one high-level visual entity to another, and you'd easily be able to drill down into the code comprising those entities, locating the exact lines responsible for emission or receipt.
AVS which checks the billing address only really works in US. It's pretty much useless in any other countries in the world (it's partially supported by some banks in Canada and UK but that's it)

Let me guess.. that list of "old economic models" that could not predict recession completely ignore Austrian Economics or anything of what acuratelly was predicted by Ludwig von Mises, decades ago. Can I suspect that this is because no politician wants to act restricted by science?
"Congratulations to him, he is right, anyone can create what we've done. But let us show you, reader that has already stopped reading, how he is wrong."

Doesn't seem like good PR.

If you're talking about a technical article intended for engineers interested in the field, maybe your take could work. This, however, is for the broad population and the original article painted Tesla engineers as nothing more than people wasting millions of dollars while a single guy in a garage can do the same. Not only the tone was disrespectful to all the work they've been doing, but it is also of concern to sales people that now have to explain why Tesla charges so much for something so easy to replicate.
That's quite literally multi-device >>sync<<, as in there is only one receiver and the rest is dependent on that.

Seems like a low effort solution and would not satisfy my requirements, but it probably works for some people.
You're presuming that that Facebook office in Brazil actually has a lot of assets in Brazil to seize. It's likely that it's a shell organisation and has nothing to seize.
> very few experts saw it coming.

Meh. Plenty of people saw it coming eventually; but most of them had a stake in ignoring it, certain that they could profit handsomely from the subsequent conditions (which they did: bankers received a massive amount of money at rock-bottom prices from state actors, which they wouldn't have got otherwise, and most CxO bonuses were still paid throughout).

The failure was not an academic one, but rather a political one: nobody wanted to reign in financial speculators. We don't need new theoretical models (or rather, we don't need them more than we usually do), we "just" need better politics.
> As far as I understand it, a lot of the problem stems from the fact that Mochizuki is quite a hermit. And that's a problem if you want others to understand what you have done for years.

Interesting. Reinforces the idea that you should attend conferences and talk to others in your field, to ensure that you speak the same language and don't miss out on helpful advice or new tools that may (for instance) make a proof easier to follow.

You can damn well bet that WhatsApp will be paying attention to the Brazillian courts now.
These messaging apps are worse than... well, I don't know. This is as bad as it gets. Bicycles maybe? Incompatibility, fragmentation.. the worst thing you can have for application that is supposed to be used for communication.
> It still seems pretty reactionary. The solution isn't to block an entire service.

Why not? If they're not complying with court mandated orders, then the court is empowered to enact any legal (in Brasil) measures to coerce cooperation out of the offender. If whatsapp wants to operate there they have to follow the law; they stopped following the law, they're no longer welcome.

I used it for about half of the EAP. For the biggest problems were performance and some general quirks (which admittedly may have been fixed/adjusted by now). It also didn't particularly provide me with a sense that I was being more efficient.

Right now I use a combination of SQL Management Studio and Atlantis SQL Everywhere. SMS to manage entities in design view, and Atlantis because of it's much better intellisense and ease-of-use features.
Similar, but not the same thing. Treasuries and forex are more like debt/credit markets. I am thinking more like the way stock market operate. The risks are higher and the sky is the limit. Imagine buying stocks from the "company" Angola now.

Some people say that in 20 years they will have a very interesting economy, similar to what Brazil is today. This is the kind of answer I would like to see.

Some contradictions I found:

Too bad outsiders think (and will for a long time) it's a done thing. Society thinks software is the best thing since sliced bread so it's all around us. It's both a curse and a blessing.

Compared to other fields, CS or engineering is relatively new. It's exciting, it will keep breaking and evolving. And that should be it. It should keep going places without restrictions, precisely because we don't know.

Similarly to scientists ripping open humans on anathomical theatres in the 17th, we are having fun.
Grouping is a habit common by Americans, that I am still not able to grasp. They say Africans, Arabs, Asians, poor countries, third-world countries, Europe, Asians, etc. I specially hate it when they say I went Africa and now "The Muslims" all thrown together in politics, ugh.
> I think it's ludicrous to think you should international companies to the laws of your own country.

WhatsApp are not an "international company", they are a US company[1]. You can bet that if it was a US court that WhatsApp would comply.

Intrinsic Motivation Doesn't Exist, Researcher Says (2005)
Let's map some ideas:
Mochizuki -> Prophet |
abc conjecture -> "god" conjecture |
500-page proof -> "holy book"

And there we go, a brand new religion. The whole situation is like something out of Monty Python.
This problem has been mostly solved. You don't need a deep learning algorithm to detect a face. There's an entire company that has sprouted from online education by providing solutions for the proctoring of exams (the webcam is turned on, and facial movement that suspiciously turns towards offscreen areas is flagged). I'm not even sure the phone's camera would have to be on to do the mobile app detection you describe.
On Mac, you may want to try Warp (http://warp.one). It allows for quick drag-and-drop data importing and exporting across different file and database types. It abstracts the underlying storage away, and will automatically push down queries to the database as much as possible.
I don't think you understand my point.

I'll reiterate:
'To buy something, first you have to produce something worthy of exchange'.

To understand this, don't immediately jump to the business level, think of it at the individual level. If I want to buy something, first I have to produce something worthwhile, so I can exchange that thing for the other. It's unlikely that the exchange is going to be direct (barter) and it will take place using the medium of currency.

I think your understanding of demand is slightly askew from the economic definition of demand.

Entrepreneurism is precisely what you have described - the creation of new products where future consumption is uncertain. It is vitally important as an agent of change in any economy - and incidentally is the first victim to central planning.

But that is incidental to the issue of requiring production before consumption. If I want something, first I have to make/do something which has value for someone else, then they can trade the thing that they made/did and that I value. We are both better off, wealth has grown. The issue here is that people think that just giving currency to one of us so we buy the thing off the other is the key to growth. When it is patently obvious that 'stimulating demand' by giving someone money can't possibly grow wealth (and the economy in the same way).
We don’t have a direction, a path or an overall goal for programming!

We (who do we mean when we say "we", anyway?) don't have a direction, path or overall goal for life, society, the human race and so on. I don't even have a plan for what I'm going to have for lunch next Tuesday.

Programming is contingent and incremental because rationality is bounded and the future is uncertain. We don't know what will be successful in the next few years or how the world will want to use it or what it will be prepared to pay for.

We can build jewel-like systems that are perfectly adapted to their use case using technology to the utmost. This nearly always results in a stranded evolutionary dead-end. The BBC Domesday Project (live video database on an 8-bit micro using PAL laserdisc!) is my favourite example, but there are many.

I've never used multi-device sync, ever. Not on iMessage, Viber, WhatsApp, ... The only one that I use across devices is Skype, but I don't use it except for video.
I am from Brazil and I can say: we are almost becoming the new Argentina.

And this is quite interesting because Argentina is becoming the new Venezuela (at least they were, but few weeks ago they had elections and the left wing lost). And Venezuela clearly is becoming the new Cuba.
I would say that everything the author describes as facts that have led us to this "mess" are actual testments to how fucking amazing human ingenuity is.

Look at everything we built out of arbitrary conventions of boolean logic that has real impact and is shapping the modern world!

>>The computer shifted the complexity of our solutions from the world of atoms to the world of ideas.

And that's fucking awesome! Thanks everyone that was part in making that a reality!

Complexity can pile up in this new world, sure, but we are only starting to get our feet wet. Outside the boundaries of processing and storage, we are our only limitation. We can create things as complex as we can logically describe them.

It's also incredibly difficult to create something that will acomodate everyone else's solutions.

Software development is in its infancy. The fact that we can create absurd structures that still work is great because we can use them even if our skills are not mature enough to make truly elegant structures.

Saying programming sucks and wishfull thinking does not help anyone. Not happy? Start hacking on the next thing!
> “The internet is not a law-free room”

It's worse than that - only American laws are applicable on the internet world-wide, and most of HN is fine with that without any second thought.

The US has never been shy applying its laws abroad, with numerous examples: domain name seizures with the tenuous nexus being "Domain Registrar is a US entity", prosecution of the Pirate Bay and Kim Dotcom, the TPP.

Brazil intends to take action that only applies within its borders and suddenly the sky is falling, all because it's against an American company.

Indeed. While I am not a fan of everyone "doing SDN", I did enjoy this article.

Can you explain each of those statements in turn?
This is the most famous big attempt for visual approach up to now (first time standardized 1997), and the recent (2013) results are:

http://oro.open.ac.uk/35805/8/UML%20in%20practice%208.pdf

"Even if UML is viewed as the ‘de facto’ standard, it is
by no means universally adopted. The majority of those
interviewed simply do not use UML, and those who do use it
tend to do so selectively and often informally."

"They also
highlight some of the fundamental tensions within UML,
resonating with arguments [8], [25], [17] that UML’s intended
strengths (i.e., generality, accommodating different levels of
abstraction) are intimately associated with its observed
weaknesses (e.g., latent complexity, issues of transformation
and coordination between views) and arise from fundamental
properties of UML (e.g. lack of formal semantics, separation of
expressions of structure and behavior)."

Whatever we do next, we have a nice set of examples and case studies of "what can go wrong."

The specific software tools based on UML are especially good examples of the problems.

It's just frustrating how everything GPU related is fragmented, mostly proprietary, overly complex and hard to use. Cuda? nvidia only, directX? windows only, Metal? iOS/OS X only, OpenGL? too high level, too much stuff, too complex.

If you don't specialize on utilizing graphic cards, then as a normal programmer you simply won't use them. I really hope that Vulkan and SPIR-V might tackle that problem.

Yes, that would be a possible evolution of permissions. If an app lets you choose a picture from your photo library, iOS swaps you to your camera roll where you select the image and then click "Share this image with app". You then get redirected back to the app and iOS sends the app only that image.

Currently, for things like camera, microphone, location, etc. you can always revoke that permission after granting it via Settings.

I'm sure the Brazilian judge followed Brazilian legal procedures. That's the entire point of being a Brazilian judge. There might be other means to achieve a goal but that doesn't mean what happened isn't legal.

In your example, if that German app was targeted to US users (e.g. by localization and marketing) then yes, they should follow US laws. That's a test German courts use to determine whether they have jurisdiction in the digital world and I think that's fair and should be applied in the other direction as well. If they don't want to or can't (e.g. by contractual obligations or German law) they shouldn't act surprised if the US doesn't allow US business to trade with them.
If you think that an NOT USER CUSTOMIZABLE GUI is superior...
Probably in developed countries, trying hard might be an option where in poverty means you most likely have cell phone, laptop and roof over your head. But in developing countries like India, where abject poverty its ugly head, the people even are not aware that there are opportunities which could enable them to move up. All they have time and energy to think about is how to get the next piece of meal for their family. This also partly due to social structure which is deliberately designed to keep them that way for the benefit of upper class people.

They ended that effort now.

Are you sure your account is not linked to a Google+ account? Then you'd be part of the very small percentage that successfully blocked all the popup reminders and dialogues and thus never complied. For me, that was only possible by blocking the dialogues via adblock, and over times by not login in anymore.
yes. a bug in the programm and it takes insane measures (i.e. breaking and steering hard right), salvaging that situation is impossible at higher speeds. its doubtful that a beginner would do such a thing, and even the attempt would take longer, giving the supervisor more time to interfere.

Chrome uses Aura (http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/aura)

I'd also argue that Qt applications are still "native" in that they run as a native EXE (or ELF on nix). Granted they don't use Win32 APIs, but then calling them non-native because of that is a little like calling Windows OpenGL games non-native because they don't use Direct3D. But that's an aside point.

On the whole, I don't think it makes sense to categorise Windows desktop applications by what toolkit they use. MS Office 2003 didn't use Win32 toolbars. Office 2007 then introduced the ribbon bar, which changed in appearance in every subsequent release of MS Office. And even within MS Office, Microsoft doesn't always follow the same design patterns (Office 2007 used ribbon in Word and Excel but not in Outlook). Even outside of MS Office, some Windows applications in WinXP used different menu bars to the ones provided by the Win32 APIs (you can see by looking at whether menu items go 3D or just highlight when you hover over them). One example was the difference between Windows Explorer and Notepad. Plus often older Windows utilities go completely unaltered for years, eg the add font dialog box in XP was still using Windows 3.1 APIs: http://apagreekkeys.org/images/addFont1.jpg ....and this is all without discussing the disruption Metro has caused.

I will grant you that in spite of these criticisms, Windows still fairs better than Linux in terms of uniformity. But it's certainly not consistent enough to define anything that doesn't use Win32 widgets as non-native.
64spec – Commodore 64 Testing Framework
I don't think recessions can be avoided. Irrational actions and malinvestment by unskilled capital allocators virtually guarantees ups and downs in industries. Fiat currencies with fixed pricing (centrally set interest rates) exacerbate the problem by allowing mispricing of money leading to misallocation of resources. My belief is that the approach of fixing interest rates leads to overswings in the business cycle which are bigger than otherwise would be.

The issue is you'd have to - and get everyone else to - understand that periods of high interest rates and periods of low wages would periodically happen. But people expect wages to never fall and are conditioned to fixed interest rates. As lowering wages is unacceptable the solution is to cut positions, which arguably makes things worse as no job is worse than a lower payment on an existing job. So we are doomed to business cycles for the foreseeable future.

The key thing I believe most people miss is that they believe that 'economic stimulus' in terms of under priced interest rates, government borrowing and foolish spending and other tricks comes at no cost. But there is a very real cost, and that is misallocated production - building value-destroying 'bridges to nowhere' and burdening of future income with excess taxation to repay debt.

There are those who say that a sclerotic economy - such as most countries have had for going on 7 years now - is better than a short, sharp contraction. You can compare the experiences of Japan - flat growth for two decades - or countries like Estonia and Latvia which had massive contractions but bounced back to strong growth relatively quickly. How much that impacts the safety and stability of society may be related to social cohesion and personal savings.

Probably the best answer is that governments keep a rainy-day-fund, and when credit contracts due to external shocks, the government gives a temporary tax receipts holiday and spends the savings. Such a strategy would allow people to have confidence going into an economic contraction but wouldn't indebt the government to the future. But it is fantasy-land to expect any politician to design such a scheme and resist the temptation to raid it for votes.
