And to elaborate on this, wealthy societies "buy" all sorts of things via regulation that can't be directly purchased.

Americans "buy" consumer safety by enacting regulations that reduce competition and increase overhead costs.

Americans "buy" food safety by having government inspections and paperwork regulations that track supply chains in order to recall contaminated foods more quickly.

Americans "buy" clean air and water by enacting pollution controls which raise prices.

Americans "buy" fewer highway deaths by having lots of safety regulations on cars and putting up considerable trade barriers to imports (want to import a VW California to California? It's unlikely).

Most western countries "buy" the same things. I suspect everyone wants these things but not every country is rich enough to "buy" them. And it's easy to fixate on the costs of these things (and yes, sometimes regulations go too far or the costs outweigh the benefits) and ignore the benefits, which mostly benefit a different set of people than those who bear the direct costs. But in the end all of these things are "bought" by distorting markets via regulation.

I am not an expert but from using InfluxDB I think influx supports more features in terms of aggregation/rollups/ gap filling/ retention/ etc. But I suspect Riak TS would win on certain scalability use cases because it's based on the Dynamo architecture.
I feel like my experience is the opposite of this.

I've never understood something until it stood between me and building what I needed to build.

This approach has been great professionally, but lately I'm becoming more interested in theory intensive fields and struggling to find resources that teach from the perspective of someone who wants to build something that requires the knowledge involved, rather than someone who just wants that knowledge.
When the maximum wage one can get is below their living costs, let alone saving for studying etc., yes someone needs to provide for them.

A plumber is a person who has knowledge of plumbing, tools, and a will to do it.

What if AR helped people with the knowledge part, the "sharing" economy helped people with the tools part, and "wanting to save money" helped people with the "will" part.
I think it's easy to conceive of new job types in the future, it's a lot harder to conceive of job types paying well enough to live on that 90% of the population is able to do. Just imagine the plethora of jobs that could exist in a world where AR is as ubiquitous as cellphones are today.

Easy to think that, say, some day there will be a job as a 'AR skinner' where you create fake furniture overlays for people to get home and change the decor without changing the physical objects necessarily (rich people will be able to actually change the furniture, middle class will only be able to afford new skins)

Or maybe there will be 'AR artist' jobs where there will be walls around the city that are available for art, and when walking around you can decide which artist you want to see there, and it's automatically monetized that every time you look at artist X's art you will pay them 0.001$ or something out of your 'AR art skins' micropayment accounts.

I am sure there will also be jobs for 'AR replacer software creators' where the more you pay the better replacements will be available, where you can walk around and instead of being in a drab town with rain coming down it will look like you are walking around Yellowstone with pink unicorns flying around and a Tatooine double sun in the sky

There will also for sure be many jobs to create the software to handle all of those, and some of those will be very well paid indeed, but can you honestly conceive that 90% of the population will be able to make all this? Just look at self publishing fiction today, the barrier of entry towards writing a bestseller is as low as it's ever been, but outside of a few outliers (the martian, for example) how many writers are out now making a living out of this?

What about bands? No barrier of entry there either, you can have a recording studio equivalent to one that costed millions years ago running on your laptop, but how many bedroom producers are making a living off their music now?

There will always be creatives much much much better than any AI/robot, but with the hyper-competitive and winner-takes-all attitudes that permeate society these days, I don't see how you can go from "there will be many amazing new jobs available" to "there will be jobs enough at a skill level low enough for everybody to make a living at"
> you're only interested in assigning blame, and not interested in actually trying to fix things

This succinctly sums up your comment. Perhaps if you gave OP the benefit of the doubt, you'd understand he's trying to fix things in a distributed manner, rather than thinking everybody can be rescued with top-down omniscience.
> When I try to build something new, I find myself instantly criticizing my technique, to the point of paralysis. This function is hard to test; this object's dependencies need to be injected rather than initialized internally; that module needs an integration test; and so on and so forth. Even when writing spike or proof of concept code, I find myself revisiting the same lines over and over again, looking for the best, most natural expression of the ideas it contains -- obsessing, like Catt said, over my own construct, rather than on the thing my code does.

I used to be like this for the first few years of programming. And I knew a guy at my last job who was exactly like this. The thing that helped me, when I felt the indecision paralysis come on, is to just do something and accept that it may be wrong. You often don't know the best decision in the first place because you lack experience. Doing it the right way by accident, or making the mistake of picking the wrong way helps get you that experience. Be deliberate about always doing something, and over time the paralysis will get less and less as you gain more experience.

Why? I can see how people ignorant of chemistry (most people, in other words), might.
Yes, paywalls / subscriptions. Which this thread is notably dedicated to bitching about.

Other than that, not really. As demonstrated both by personal experience (I've worked for a large pub; many acquaintances work for large-ish pubs) and the utter lack of success of the majority of publishers attempting this.
The solution is obvious: education. Education, education, education. Making it a truly common good will require a massive shift in the way most people are brought up in the west, which is why it won't happen over a couple years but rather over a couple generations, which is why it's high time we got going.

Once you can do things in and with your head, the world becomes your playground. Once the kids understand that hurting people in any way is literally senseless, that the civil servant state and nine-to-five work is destroying intellect, once they realise the awesomeness that lies within that big melon everyone of us is carrying around, I think humanity as a whole can get out of this mess properly.

And I think enlightment is the only way humans are going anywhere other than destruction, by whom- or whatever it may be. The consumer (a.k.a. mind-numbing) industry everybody seems to be so happy about is definitely not the way to go. Forgive the metaphor, but plugging everybody into the matrix and feeding them bullshit 24/7 just to keep them happy is not how we can stay on top of things and our intelligent machines. If the complex machinery that is a Human is reduced to a consumer, it is of no value to electronic machines out to solve the galaxy's problems (other than maybe as an energy source ).

It seems as though we won't be going anywhere far away from the solar system for a while, so instead let's go deep. Let's go into ourselves and discover the worlds inside that nature has provided us with.

Measures of life expectency are misleading in this regard.

Much of low life expectency comes from very high infant mortality -- deaths to age 5 or 10. Once you've passed that threshold, your odds of survival increase markedly. Perhaps slightly lower than today's first-world standards, but hale-and-hearty at 15 doesn't mean you're going to fall over dead at 25.

You also want to look at life expectency at any given age. And I distantly recall that the number of (I can't remember specifically which) Greeks or Romans surviving to age 80+ compared favourably to modern times.
I agree, these kinds of regulations and over-licensing is what's killing jobs, not taxes (or at least not as much).
You don't see many big corps complain about licensing or regulations, that's because they can afford to pay for them, small business and even individuals are the one who get screwed. This kind of stuff is what I would like to see Bernie complain about but I see very little from him on this front. The funny thing is that Northern Europe countries have way less regulations and licensing, this is why they survive despite super high taxation but you never see Bernie rooting for that, he just wants wants the high taxation from Sweden and high regulation/licensing from the US, ie the worst of both worlds http://reason.com/archives/2016/04/18/bernies-rightamerica-s...

> "These are all good questions. It sounds like she wanted to retain her personal email and be able to field personal business from that same account."

Except she could have done that with her .gov email. Classification laws state she can delete personal emails from her .gov account without fear of wrongdoing. So your theory falls flat.

One reason she might have wanted to setup her own private email server was to skirt FOIA requests. Which seems plausible since there were numerous FOIA requests during the Benghazi ordeal. All of which were replied to with 'we have no emails'. It took Syndey Blumenthal's AOL account to be compromised for everyone to discover Clinton's private email server.

For Python, wxPython is good. Dropbox desktop clients are written in it, IIRC, and so are many other apps. Take a look at the demos in the Docs and Demos (separate EXE) that you can download from the wxPython site. Pretty good and gives an idea of wxPython's capabilities. For C++, wxWidgets (which wxPython is a wrapper for) or Qt should be good. Andy Brice, mentioned as a desktop product ISV in this thread, uses C++ and Qt and deploys to more than one desktop platform. IIRC Skype desktop was written in Qt.

There are also other GUI toolkit choices which are less mainstream and some may be less stable/documented/maintained.

Edit to add: Don't know about PyQt which is a wrapper for Qt, like wxPython is for wxWidgets.

As I went to look up SIP, I found this at the top of the results:

https://threatpost.com/os-x-zero-day-bypasses-native-sip-pro...

So, not looking great so far. ;) Anyway, I decided to look further to find a Wikipedia article on it with what looks to be great description.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection

From what I see, this is Apple's answer to the Biba model for integrity protection that's intended to divide system up into trust levels where untrustworthy processes can't write files they shouldn't. This was in Orange Book B1-B3 & A1 class systems such as Compartmented Mode Workstations. LOMAC model, SELinux/SEBSD, Windows Integrity Control, Argus PitBull, and Trustifier all implement this scheme to protect files integrity.

Let's just say it's a technique that helps but doesn't guarantee security by far. The reason is that the check is in the kernel. That can be bypassed by a 0-day attack on the kernel or below. Trusted processes that manage it might also be hit. Less likely, the person with control over it might be conned into installing something rogue. Seems Apple uses signatures to address that to some degree. So, one tool in the security toolbox just like it was in the 90's for CMW's. Gotta protect the privileged code and interfaces to it to make sure it's not bypassed.

One advantage of Biba and similar models are that they're conceptually simple plus very efficient in storage and CPU time. I think of it as an extra check to fall back on instead of primary protection. Cost almost nothing. Hope this write-up helps in your assessment of Mac security.
Very cool! Do you think this has an application outside of embedded, like microkernels for lightweight containers?
Stuff like sandstorm is a massive leap towards practical federation, but it came about 10 years late into the conversation. Not that it doesn't still hold great promise (I'm a huge fan, and 100% target demo), but that span of time has allowed us to see this same dynamic play out in enough software spaces that it's a sound observation and rationale for guiding your business or project.

When something like sandstorm can hide even the abstraction of server maintenance, and either:
1) Creating a service is background to account creation. Like say a private hosted sync point (choose your own host) is created when you install the application.
2) I can deploy via an account or "brand" I have established loyalty with, but maintain true portability.

These are new conversations, not possible before.

Given that most poor Americans don't work [1] and yet have more money than 95% of Indians [2], you'd expect these problems to be solved in the US. Particularly since Americans also have free libraries, free schools where teachers show up, and internet access is a tiny fraction of the consumption available to poor Americans.

So are these problems solved there? Since education is available to Americans, why haven't they all used it and acquired higher wage jobs?

You just a need priority list. If you think something needs to be fixed, add it to the list. Choose the next task with the highest priority when you are done with the current one. At least you will know why you didn't fix something. It would be most likely be because there are only so many hours in a day, and your skill does not change overnight, despite obsessing over it.

The App Store Ranking System: How to Hit #1
I'm often curious about the theory, or at least the "How do I do X?", bits of programming. What helps me is picking something I'm curious about, and then figuring out how to be curious about a smaller piece of it.

Lately I've been curious about how I could go about building a web framework in Elixir. I started off buy spending this past Sunday digging into how to open sockets/ports, and send requests from my browser, and reply to them from the Elixir command line REPL.
Disagree on two fronts :
- By hadoop I assume you mean Map Reduce ? There are other Engines like SAMSA and FLINK and Kafka makes a great event store. Anyway, MR is super for massive throughput batch jobs, for example huge HIVE queries or Pig jobs and if you are reading, breaking the heap size, doing one thing and then writing there is no bonus from doing it in SPARK.
- SPARK is written in Scala, which runs on the JVM. And it has a nice Java API as well !
It's generally a bad idea to develop with a copy of your production DB. This is how emails accidentally get sent from staging servers to real people and how sensitive information finds itself in insecure places. I didn't see any part in the tests that deals with scrubbing sensitive data, so to me this is just enough feature to be really dangerous.
At least in the U.S., it doesn't work that way. The classification isn't a matter of contractually agreeing to it. It's driven by the nature of the relationship, and the degree of control and independence.

Well, no, the machine will make custom tables that look just like the "unique hand-made table" at a fraction of the price, with customization, so if you saw a table that you like but you wanted yours to seat 6 instead of 4, you upload a couple pictures of the table, and tell the machine to replicate it with a larger tabletop.

Some people will still pay the artisan to create the table, but most will continue to take the cheaper route.
