Big, successful, popular, dictatorial, charismatic movement like Chavism, say? It really hasn't been that long since then. You could argue that it's "not like Nazism", I guess, in the details of interactions between the government and private industry, but in terms of taking and holding on to power it's quite the same.

And I'd quibble with your distinction between religion-based and non-religion-based movements. The whole point of movements like Nazism is that they act in much the way religion does. More like creating a new religion that co-opting an existing one, of course; maybe that's the difference you were getting at?
I built something like this that compiled BASIC to C or C++ to avoid dealing with the later. Later re-implemented it in LISP. Doing a one-to-one mapping from LISP to 3GL code makes it easier than some here think. Using a correct-by-construction coding method eliminates a lot of the problems. Your code generator can also avoid C-related errors and undefined behavior wherever possible with tools available to check for most of both. Mine was a simplistic tool with very-few targets in terms of compilers. Great safety and productivity, though.

Here's main benefits a LISP-like C can give you:

1. Automate boilerplate
2. Automate safety
3. 4GL-style doing very much with very little
4. Context-specific optimizations
5. My favorite: interactive testing & incremental compilation for sub-1s code-to-execute and maximizing mental flow. Safe, C alternatives will probably never be able to do this.
6. Update while the system is running if still in prototyping mode. Fun stuff.
7. Save exact execution state of mock C application for debugging if you design that feature.

I don't recall most of details of implementation due to a broken memory. I worked in industrial BASIC more than C because C has too many issues. However, as "dang" and "jhack" are into this, I'll add that I did find it useful as a non-compiler-expert to setup at least two versions or states of the development environment: prototyping and production.

The prototyping system was designed for interactive development. It had all the libraries I might use loaded up, pre-wrapped, and with interface checks. The 3GL commands, or emulation of them, ran instantly as LISP expressions. You develop in this mode with no connection to the 3GL except logical and [mostly] semantic equivalence. Your code is straight up code at the moment.

When done with that, you switch to production where your code is data that's interpreted and turned into the 3GL. The generator should take care to make portable code or at least cover your targets. Throw in out-of-bounds checks and such by default. Can have a declaration to decide that. Anyway, you get your BASIC, C, C++, whatever code here. I can even imagine one for Rust that works faster than the actual compiler.

So, two versions of the system: interactive interpretation, incremental compilation, and live updating of LISP version for quick development w/ optional checks inside (eg typing); version that generates code for external compilers. Both operate on same input but ignore what they don't need. Can avoid most debugging issues with a robust, coding style and plenty interface checks. All I did with that.

Hope lessons from that old project helps someone doing the next. I expect if I recreate it that the Amplifying C stuff will be helpful in figuring out how to do that. So might be tools like Racket and me learning LISP for real. ;)

Most of the maneuvers at that level aren't that complicated. Harvested long-term capital gains on equities side, municipals on the income side, depreciation on the real estate side.

The crazy income optimization schemes you hear about mainly circle around windfall earnings in areas like finance and private equity. US already taxes investment proceeds at favorable rates, and there's no inherent tax on wealth, if the recipient doesn't start working, his income picture won't be too complicated.
It's a term of art. It has a very precisely defined technical meaning that specialists are familiar with and share a common understanding of. Its primary purpose is to permit those educated in the subject to converse clearly and unambiguously with one another in an efficient manner.

It is perhaps not the most reasonable thing to expect specialists conversing with their peers in the argot of their field to reduce all their conversations to the point of intelligibility to the average layman. It's also perhaps not the most reasonable thing to expect all terms of art to be re-named every few decades as language shifts. Never mind the challenges of achieving consensus every time someone wants to rename something.

Hoverboard fires continue.

Underwriters' Laboratories has now announced 1) that as of Feb 2, they have a test program to certify hoverboards for not catching on fire or blowing up, and 2), all UL labels on hoverboards so far are fake.

Amazon is refusing to pay hoverboard manufacturers for their products, and is taking returns on all hoverboards. The hoverboard industry in Shentzen has collapsed.[1]

There are still daily hoverboard fire news stories.

Good technical analysis is rare so far. However, so far, the following have been reported:

- Fake Samsung batteries

- Batteries without cell-level protective devices

- Battery pack mismatched to charger, causing overcharging.

It takes about seven protective devices to make a lithium-ion battery safe. Some cells come with a small round circuit board at the end of the cell to provide protection and thermal monitoring at the cell level. Some don't. Some cells have overpressure vents. Some don't. Some have thermal fuses. Some don't. Chargers need to follow a charge curve, monitor cell temperature, and have a backup cutoff circuit to stop overcharging. (If you overcharge a LiIon cell, it will catch fire unless some safety device trips first.)

This may be the worst product launch in modern history.

And these things aren't even Internet-connected.

"you eliminate the necessity of serializing and deserializing your IR during your compilation pipeline for no reason (which is effectively what compiling and reparsing C is doing)."

I did debugging before it got to C and just ensured C generation would do exactly what I wanted. I could read and debug the C itself as a check against problems in that. Yet, serializing and deserializing my IR just didn't happen: it was just LISP or BASIC expressions depending on which version we're talking about. Just tree's.

You're debugging regression claim is correct as I addressed in my main comment. Fortunately, my development style and choice of libraries compensated for that nicely. It would've been quite painful if I had to deal with arbitrary FOSS or proprietary stuff out of necessity. I'd be working at both abstraction levels for sure or coding miracles into my tooling haha.

Cancelled my subscription as soon as I read the tweet from @_danilo.

My disgust is boundless. To hell with anyone that thinks and behaves like this.
Generally speaking, when stocks fall bond prices rise. In this regime. So if you have a mixed portfolio of assets and bonds, in your scenario you can sell treasury bonds for a profit, and use the proceeds to buy up stocks. If you automate this transaction when your portfolio deviates from a target mix, you will automate a 'sell high, buy low' strategy.

LinkedIn is kind of hard to figure out how their business plan works.

They are a social network for professionals, companies have a profile, people post resume stuff on it, recruiters use it to find people for contracts or jobs.

I have people visit my profile, but I can't see who they are unless I pay a subscription.

I list Visual BASIC 6.0 as a skill and there is still a small demand for work with it in legacy software.

I get all kinds of LinkedIn email from groups I joined, some of the email is basically spam and makes me want to quit the group. I made a message filter in Thunderbird to move all LinkedIn email to my LinkedIn folder. I check it to see if anything important is there, most of it is not important.

Facebook recently made a Facebook at Work site for employees to communicate with each other. I think it competes with LinkedIn.

> One would think Europe would change immigration law to encourage people who would naturally have some affinity or ties to the region.

No offense but this affinity people especially from the US seem to have appears from this side like nothing more than a weird fetish driven by nothing more than fantasy. Especially for Germany this is incredibly weird because there is often a certain pride associated with being "German" that would get you considered a nazi in Germany.

If you're well educated and can get a job in Europe, immigrating should be quite easy already. I see no reason to make it easy for people just because some ancestor happened to be from Europe.

I think that this issue is potentially moot if you've transitioned to immutable deploys. Under such a system, arbitrage steps would tend to change from the standard have an SA/Dev ssh in and muck around until the issue is found. Instead, first step may be just redeploying (in case of transient/intermittent issues that are disrupting service), and then checking out the production system locally to do root cause analysis.

So yeah, most organizations couldn't do this today, because they don't have the deploy process in place. But when an organization has made the switch, then it is much more realistic to assume that it can get along without granting ad hoc ssh access to production systems.

Honor killings were both legal and prevalent in Iraq under Sadam's rule.
The Baath party also operated para-military militias that enforced "morality" rules mostly targeting prostitutes and homosexual.
Extra marital sex was punishable in Sadam's Iraq and it was commonly enforced by either the family or the government which quite often resulted in death.
The picture as far as Syria goes isn't that different the only major difference is that unlike Iraq Syria had and still has specific laws that target homosexuals rather than just "extra martial sex".
> Is there any objective evidence that there are people who consistently beat the market, over the long term?

This is narrowing the problem to growth investing. Most high-net worth individuals care about growth investments only tangentially, the agenda is usually income generation.

With income generation one can consistently beat the market year over year over long term. Simplest examples would be a cash-flowing real estate investment at an attractive entry price.

If you believe that public markets are efficient, then it also implies that by the time you're on the buying side, any inefficiency and pricing discrepancy has been squeezed.
Cities make it easier for kids to go outside and be kids. The need for car transport that RcouF1uZ4gsC brings up applies to kids as much as adults. It limits who they can interact with down to a few kids from the local street and their activities to those parents are willing to drive them to which harms socialisation even more.

Basic things like seeing a film with friends, playing a sport, or going on a date become way bigger deals than they otherwise need to be. Being the kid that always needed exact locations and times for things to be able to participate was always a huge PITA for me.

I'd say at the very least that parents choosing the suburban life should do so understanding that they're signing themselves up for extreme taxi duty and that their child doesn't really have much power in deciding when things start/end. Actually, nowadays maybe Uber on your kids phone would do the job.
(Disclaimer, unicorn employee.) I'm confused. Are you implying people write company code on personally owned laptops? That's insane!

1. Company walks you through setting up FileVault (with key escrow) and VPN client, generating and uploading SSH public key immediately after unboxing laptop.

2. OneLogin + Duo (or pick your SSO/2FA scheme) for everything - internal webapps, GMail, etc.

3. SSH keys managed by Puppet.

4. 2FA verification of SSH logins (using pam-interactive), through a bastion (provided .ssh file makes it transparent), with OSX's default SSH agent, with pretty much all of those best practices configured except smartcards/certs.

5. Engineers have SSH access only to utility/development boxes. You can deploy code to production through a webapp (identifying the commit ID) but you can't get a shell as your application's user, and certainly not root.

6. Webapps moving behind a VPN.

In the rare case that you need to debug in production beyond what you can get from metrics/logs, you pair with a "blessed"/senior sysadmin type.

> Why giving advice has become a field where you are allowed to charge a wealth tax is beyond me.

Charging a percentage for assets under management creates an incentive to grow that pie, slowly but surely, keeping everybody happy.

Charging a flat or an hourly fee creates an incentive to "wham, bam, thank you mam, next customer please" type of interaction.

> I don't see how it's anyone else's business what I do with an animal that belongs to me.

I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of throwing people in jail for, say, setting a cat on fire. Whether it belongs to them or not doesn't really figure into that sentiment.

(The same applies for, say, a pig. It's not about cuteness.)
The conclusion of this article is bizarre. After essentially admitting that pot elicited no serious long term cognitive side effects, in a strange attempt to resuscitate the idea that pot is bad for you, they go on to cite the dangers of long term alcohol abuse as somehow undermining these results, despite their being completely different drugs with completely different modes of operation and effects on the body.

The cognitive dissonance is strong in this one.
Stories like yours make me wonder if "marriage for life" is even a worthwhile goal.
Actually the left seems to enforce the nomenclature changes calling them "migrants" rather than illegal or economical immigrants.

Doesn't mater how you paint the picture the moment these guys ended up in Turkey and kept going west they became economical immigrants, and they don't even stop at the first European country they get into they strive to go deeper and deeper to countries that (they think) will give them more benefits.

Heck as we speak you have anywhere between 75,000 and 300,000 "migrants" holding their fort in France (Mainly in places like Clais, Dippe, Rouen etc.) waiting to get into the UK and constantly avoiding registration in France in order not to get "stuck" there.

And the fact that you can hardly have an open discussion about this without being labeled as a racist is just mind boggling and the worst part is that it will make things 100 worse down the line because the pressure that the left imposes on everyone will just means that the whole situation will literally explode when it will reach the boiling point and were not that far off.
>As mentioned in the interview, there was a massive scandal in Europe about horse meat being substituted for beef in some products. No one would have batted an eye if it was turkey being substituted for chicken, or lamb for beef.

The outrage in Europe was largely due to horse meat not meant for human consumption making it into the food supply chain, right? The revulsion that many Americans feel about eating horse just isn't as prevalent in Europe.

This isn't a surprise. There's a reason large cities have Chinatown, Little Italy, etc. Immigrants are more comfortable keeping their lives mostly within their own community that shares the same language and cultural elements. While I don't think it's all that healthy to avoid integrating with the society you move into, it's understandable to see people take the easy/comfortable route. Hell, I'd probably wind up doing the same.

I have a Greek acquaintance who lives in my city's unofficial Greek neighbourhood. Everything from groceries to bakeries and cafés, it's all Greek and he doesn't like to stray much from his routine in these shops. All the owners and patrons know each other personally. They get to feel like they're still back home. It keeps them sheltered a bit too much from the rest of us, but hey - they have a real community versus me that doesn't know the first name of anyone that serves me in any of the shops I frequent.
I write on my iPhone and use pinyin on my Linux, Mac and Windows computers. I'd like to write Cantonese and Japanese too, but I don't do that enough to bother finding the relevant input software. Using a hiragana table is much slower for me than writing the characters using my index finger.

How about we treat their opinion as "unknown" rather than a foregone conclusion (for either side)? Is this too much to ask?
When the dot.com economy crashed, Google and Apple weren't producing billions in quarterly profits. Facebook didn't even exist. Today, the local economy is a very different thing. There's a new layer of massive and massively profitable companies that are not relying on venture money to keep their doors open. Meanwhile, a number of truly fundamental breakthroughs in AI, A/VR, genetics (CRISPR), transportation, and energy are happening simultaneously. Any one of them could trigger another tech boom, especially when corporate balance sheets have ludicrous amounts of liquidity. All five at once indicates a world-historical event in the making (think Second Industrial Revolution).

Accordingly, there's no reason to be investing in fluff like file sharing, app-based bike delivery, or "valuable" services like Shazam when there's real work to be done. In other words, the VC correction unfolding now is exactly that, a correction (long overdue, to my mind, and an unambiguously healthy thing). It will hurt a lot of overextended people to be sure, and unprofitable companies with dubious valuations that are laying people off now are wise to get ahead of the crunch.

As the squeeze tightens, salaries will even out, the balance of power will shift to employers, traffic may improve (slightly), and rents may even stop climbing. But 20-30% declines in the overall housing market? Dream on. Prices here are a function of a massive shortage, off-the-charts desirability, and deeply-rooted peculiarities in the tax code (Prop. 13), not Florida-style speculation. All of these factors are far more impervious to temporary downturns in the employment market.

Having lived through the dot.com crash, I can certainly hear echoes, but deja vu it isn't. The world is now a very different place.
