Soft/Weak/Phantom are all useful under particular circumstances. All are specialized things that you might only use once or twice in a whole career, but they need language-level support because they're integrated with the GC. Other languages may not have them but that reflects poorly on them if so. It's similar to how Java GC has a lot of tweakable parameters, which seems like a bad thing until you realise that you need those options just as badly in other languages, it's just that you don't have them.

Final reference is a wart that probably wouldn't be there if the language were designed today. But again, being source and binary compatible with code from 1995 is one of Java's greatest strengths.

Could you tell how knowing IBAN enables someone to take money from your account? As far as I understand, the only think that can happen with IBAN is to receive money.

Friend recently told me that when Theranos first hit the news as a darling startup, his MIT Microfluidics PhD friends went to see what the novel science was about. Naturally they read her paper and ... They couldn't find anything new/special in the paper and were left scratching their heads.

Maybe VC stronger connections with scientists, not just technologies when doing due diligence?

By the way this is a non sequitur but I find it poetically ironic that Theranos HQ is located on Page Mill Road where WSJ's Silicon Valley branch used to be located back in the day.

That's not the same case at all, though. The business owner may "manage" the new employee, but that role is completely different from the role of a manager in the context of this discussion.
I once asked why the Japanese govt didn't do more to help the auto industry, compared to say Germany (this was 2010 when I worked in the Toyota group in Aichi). What I didn't know was what parent refers to -- that the Japanese govt went way too far in supporting its industries back in the day, and getting backlash for it politically.

I had a similar experience buying a somewhat expensive watch through them - my wife was surprised to receive a very fancy, and empty, box.

I wished Qt just split into a different widget set for mobile. The interaction behavior is significantly different that attempting to reuse the same UI for both mobile and desktop will result in a terrible experience on both.

Likewise, QML is just plainly useless on the desktop, and much slower to booth. Unfortunately, the performance regression in Qt5 is there also if you don't use it, and that shouldn't be.

Qt5 being slower than Qt4 is the main reason I've been moving slowly towards copperspice (http://www.copperspice.com/) for newer projects. The fact that moc is no longer necessary removes also the main paint point of qt.

7 Lessons We Learned from Analyzing 100 Saas Companies
Cool down guys, it was just a joke. No need to start a war.
In Denmark (.dk), any citizen can get their address information removed from publicly available records. That means that any private individual or company cannot get access to your address information unless you manually give it to them. (Note: Government agencies still have access to this information.)

.dk-domains are owned by persons, not the registrars, and therefore the whois-information for .dk-domains follow the same procedure as addresses. So if you have 'address protection' as it is called, your personal information is immediately removed from your whois information.
There's no reason they couldn't collect that data on 'native' apps though; we've got Google Analytics integrated in our mobile app which sends events to the same account as the website.

It's not like you moved as a German to the Ottoman Empire, everybody can understand you if he/she wants to, the landscape and weather is similar (at least for Austrians), the culture is very similar and so is the food, sports (Skiing) and everything else.

Twitter is actually the only "social network" that I use daily and find real value in so I really hope they can get their act together somehow.

Just a few more random thoughts... Twitter's biggest asset is its core product and they should not meddle too much with it. And I think they should be able to make a company profitable with just that.
Even though the product itself is really simple, there are many use cases of it that are not all easily transformed into revenue and probably not so easy to communicate to investors.
Its basically a platform that enables a new form of communication. Different people use it for different purposes. Companies use it for different purposes. Traditional media gets lots of their content from Twitter nowadays.
Mimicking Facebook in any way would be a mistake because I think it's a fundamentally different product.
Looking for Signs That Apple’s Runaway Growth Is Waning
Are you sure? The homepage says "Scroll, zoom and click on individual stations to see how passenger numbers have changed since 1997". I think it's for the whole period.

Many stations are white at the end, but have no reason for the increase to have been in the final year. Picking one I used to travel through [1], it's white on the map, last year's increase was <10%, but the increase since 1997 is huge.

While I agree with the essence of your comment, there is no need (and no justification) to draw attention to Theranos's founder's looks. Investors are often swayed to invest unbelievable amounts of money in various convincing charmers (and Holmes is definitely impressive in that way) who sell them a dream -- see Shai Agassi at Better Place[1] and others. I see no reason to believe that Holmes's blonde hair and blue eyes played any role here, at least not any more than Agassi's square jaw. As I don't recall Agassi's jaw being mentioned as a contributing factor in the exorbitant investments he received, mentioning it in Holmes's case feels a little off.

I find it a bit weird that address and even credit card number are confidential information. Credit card numbers are not really secret, you hand them out to random waiters in random restaurants. Maybe part of the fault lies with the other companies who accept that information as ID?
For what it's worth - modern JavaScript does it too, it separates the syntax (import/export) and semantics of binding the reference from the actual loading mechanism. Not only can you "hook" into imports, you can replace them altogether if you'd like.
From the examples:

>>> from jsonsempai import magic
>>> from python_package import file
>>> file
<module 'python_package.file' from 'python_package/file.json'>

I believe it is not a good idea to teach people to import something named "file", as that overrides Python's builtin class "file".

(On the other hand, that class is usually instantiated via calls to "open", so the class name "file" is unused is most programs dealing with files.)

Oh, yeah - something like QuickCheck [0] is great! There are Java and C++ implementations as well, though I haven't tried them. Definitely a nice alternative to traditional unit testing whenever possible. I don't know how well it mixes with unrestricted IO like in Java etc though.

Presumably, the implication is that the government must first excise taxes from the public, thereby depressing demand.

The alternative is to borrow money by issuing bonds, but that's just a way of postponing the problem, eventually the government has to excise more taxes to pay the debt.

I'm also wary of calling it encryption. But I don't think "obfuscation" or "hashing" are correct either.

The intent is the same as encryption - to keep the real location a secret, available only to people with the key.

It feels different because the encrypted value is basically an offset, and it's continuous, so it feels almost the same as the unencrypted form.
Yes sorry, typo (fixed).

If they are really the same then it doesn't matter of course. One advantage might be that everyone's heard of the public domain, I have never heard of CC0. I would not know what restrictions there are to that without reading the license carefully. But reading "public domain" tells me everything I need to know. In fact the web page explaining CC0 is kind of confusing, and links to an even longer FAQ.

And with the public domain, you don't even need a license, just write "Public Domain" where you would normally write "Copyright 2016", and it's done. Why use a license at all when the public domain exists?

It was interesting the see the number of stations being "upgraded" from small to medium & large. Certainly are a lot more large stations popping up in recent years.

I'd be curious to know what "large" means though. Is it just the passenger throughput or is it the number of platforms? It would be quite impressive if each of these size increases represents a major construction project.

No the people that designed and implemented Social Security knew it was not secure for identification purposes, the first few decades of the program even had "Not to be used for Identification" on the card.

Then the government, and financial industry got lazy and said "well since the majority of people already have these numbers assigned to them lets just use them for Identification as well" and made it a defacto National ID. Something it was never designed for, nor secure enough to be,

Public domain licensing is popular among the kind of people who see copyright law as an annoying distraction from the fun of writing software. CC0 is an absurdly long legal document compared to, say, the MIT or BSD licenses which grant users the same rights, never mind a one-line "licence" like "dedicated to the public domain, no rights reserved".

Adventures in Debugging Tail Latency
Productive companies and organisations generate demand for the things they need in order to be productive. Unproductive ones generate less demand per worker. Yes those workers still need to pay for things, but if they are sitting around at work not doing much their work activity is a waste. Building a bridge to nowhere only creates demand for concrete and steel and goods for the workers. A useful heavily used bridge can generate demand from the economic activity it enables. An efficient factory producing goods generates the same demand as an inefficient one producing the same goods, but the inefficient one consumes money that could otherwise be invested in more demand producing factories, employing workers in demand producing activities.
