> JSON is designed for JavaScript compatibility,

Javascript compatibility is the least important part of json, lots of people use json with python or ruby or rust or java or c for things that will never interact with javascript, and anyways you don't want people to parse json with eval or confusing json with things that include string concatenation or function calls adding non javascript syntax helps make that clear.

There is a good reason to not change JSON(backwards compatibility, updating parsers, confusing formats, ect.), since you're not planning on parsing javascript with eval there is no good reason why any changes made in JSON 2.0 have to conform to a subset of javascript.
Yeah these days if you want a linux laptop you're going to have a better experience either installing linux under bootcamp on a macbook, or getting a laptop with linux pre-installed, or getting a chromebook and running ubuntu under crouton. The dual boot days are basically over. If you have windows often its boot load locked into windows10. You can run bash ubuntu under windows 10 now, but you still have the overhead of running windows10 itself compared to the speed and efficiency of running a linux desktop like xfce.
I lived in Cambridge for about 6 years from ~2004–2011. Nothing but positive experiences with Boston-area cabs. The drivers were uniformly friendly and competent, and had no trouble with the ridiculously convoluted MA street layouts. When I was carrying suitcases or moving boxes of books around, they were patient and helpful with loading/unloading. When I left my wallet one time, the driver called me as soon as he found it and promptly returned it.

Maybe you just got unlucky? Or maybe things have deteriorated since other transportation started undercutting them?

Yay for anecdotal evidence, right?
Yes, I personally would prefer to redistribute internationally (and hence that's where all my personal donations go) but from conversations I've recognized that it's politically unpalatable to the vast majority of Americans. The vast majority of people somehow think that their fellow Americans are more deserving than the international poor (and will quite strenuously argue that things like having toys for local kids is more important than literally saving lives).

The nice thing about our tax system is that you can write off donations. So even if we did adopt stronger tax measures, billionaires could still choose to support more effective causes than the government.
I'm not sure which is wrong, the person writing or the documentation, but rename() claims to be atomic with few exceptions even when overwriting an existing item.[1]

The only reason I suspect things do unlink-then-rename is that (evidently) rename() doesn't promise anything about what happens to the "src" item if rename() fails, just that something will still be in "dest".[1]

But I don't know why the commands do something different, and don't want to try reading the source of either GNU or BSD mv to find out why.

If only taxi medallions were issued in a reasonably fair manner, such as a fixed fee with no quantity limits, or an annual auction with quantity limits...

A better analogy would be if the government, starting in 1930, only allowed there to be 3 restaurants in the city, and sold you one of the licenses for a sum of 1 cent. Now it's 2015, there are still only 3 restaurants in the city, and because the license is permanent and transferable, now it's worth $50 million. Then food trucks come and take all your business.
JSON isn't broken. There isn't anything to fix. :/
It's good to care about taxi drivers, but not because they are taxi drivers.

Go back >200 years. In England, Spinning Jennies replaced weavers, and there were luddites who tried to resist, but the solution was not to start subsidizing weavers; and not even a specific tax to weaving machines to provide for the weavers specifically; the solution was to slowly build a social security system, and not just for master weavers (who had been relatively well off) but everyone.

Agreed, taxing one company to pay another does not make sense, but neither does subsidizing people of a certain profession just because they are no longer productive, by putting a burden on something productive just because it is better.
Yes, was going to mention this... Using eggs was probably the worst example they could come up with. I mean looking at the hatchery photo, most people across the world would see anything strange with it.
Or, you know, we could tax the disruptors (and the rest of the economy) and give everyone an UBI.
3) they're profitable because they fit demand to supply better, with less administrative overhead.
I think you could also see it in light of competition driving profits down. Manufacturing happens to be as much of a commodity as air travel and gas (Apple has two different manufacturers for the processor in the 6s and frequently switches suppliers for its other parts to ensure lower prices).

> What happens to an entire class of working people

In a free market capitalist society, the most optimal case is that they spend a significant portion of their earnings buying capital (i.e. stocks and bonds), so as time goes on more of their earnings come from capital. Unfortunately, in the USA at least, we make capital accumulation ridiculously hard for working class people due to the cult of homeownership and a tax system where interest on mortgages (but not stock purchases) are deductible.
Yes, the single userness of Homebrew became obvious when I inherited a MacBook from someone which also contained some licensed software that couldn't not easily flattened and reinstalled. Homebrew sprays single-user shit all over the place and judging by google searches, there was not a clean way to remove it. I ended-up doing a lot of manual deleting. You couldn't even rf -rm /usr/local/, because Homebrew did not own that directory, my licence-locked software dropped stuff there too for example. Really how hard is it to type sudo?

And, it just seems completely idiotic to compile standard packages for the second most popular developer ABI on the planet. How many rainforests have Homebrew users burned down to get the same binaries as the guy sitting next to them?

I've been using pkgsrc lately. Binary packages that seem to work out of box and come with launchd configs. It goes into /opt/pkg/, and /opt was always better than /usr/local because of the unix philosophy that its shorter to type.

Anyway, if you like Homebrew's approach to the filesystem, there was a OS you would really like, it was called Microsoft DOS. (It didn't work out in the long run.)

I believe they have a point. The traditional taxi industry _can_ be rescued. Living in Germany I use myTaxi which is basically providing the same interface as Uber but connects you with professional taxis that are regulated, insured, and being paid proper wages. There is simply no difference in convenience (even the opposite: you can book taxis in advance) and the driving experience itself is typically by far better than any Uber I've ever taken in the US (inexperienced drivers, often old cars,...)

So I would argue that the tax could help achieve a similar scenario in MA if invested properly and if Uber is forced to raise prices by bringing them to uphold professional standards. I was long enough in MA to know that regular taxis have a long way to go but there is hope

Here in New Zealand it's abut 50/50 whether a household refrigerates eggs. I don't think it's a requirement for restaurants to do so either.

Apparently all eggs in Australia and New Zealand are pasteurised [0]. <edit> looks like I need to work on my critical reading, only egg _products_ like egg whites need to be pasteurised, eggs don't.

Personally, I don't refigerate my eggs, but I tend to go them pretty quickly. I've had them out in the kitchen for over a month before, and they've been fine (it was the middle of winter and a very cold kitchen).

If the taxi cab companies can't make it on their own, they should go out of business.

As a self-employed person, I shouldn't expect someone else to bail me out by their efforts. If I can't make it on my own steam, I close up shop.

When this happens, it's unfortunate, and unpleasant, but it's a simple fact of doing business.

Our parents and grandparents would balk and roll in their graves at the thought of this idea that someone else should shoulder the burden of bailing you out.

What ever happened to the idea of (in the case of business hardship or failure) picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and starting OVER??
Thanks for the data. That's a pretty compelling perspective actually: policies that are less compatible with family care in a given industry have a disproportionate impact on women in just that industry, which increasing representation (through pipeline issues) won't necessarily fix.

I agree with those who say JSON should never change, but should one day be replaced. It behooves us to think about what that replacement should be.

My own peeves:

* Numbers are stored in decimal but usually interpreted as binary with no guidance about rounding.

* The concatenation of valid JSON blobs is never valid JSON.

* The empty string is not valid JSON.

The last two can be "fixed" by a format called "arraySON" where the global blob represents not a JSON object (dictionary), but the contents of an array plus an optional trailing comma.

Or given some of the ideas on this thread, perhaps a manadatory leading comma.
> Where did I conflate socioeconomic mobility and income equality?

The first section of your comment was about socioeconomic mobility, but starting with the "two axioms" portion, you started talking about inequality instead. The two concepts are different, although related.

> I respond by asking whether or not the socioeconomic standing of a scientist matters for the societal impact of their work.

Not very, but for people at the bottom of the ladder, they need some socioeconomic mobility to become a scientist in the first place.

> if reduced socioeconomic mobility can't be demonstrated to be a net loss for society

That's presupposing that it can't, and thus begging the question.

>JSON is designed for JavaScript compatibility, I almost stopped reading when

Why does Javascript compatibility matter in 2016? The original idea for JSON might have been to parse untrusted data using js eval() but I'd hope that nobody is doing that anymore.
If that had happened in 2016, MA would be taxing GE to pay off the ice mafia.
Uber recruits drivers through deceptive if not outright false ads for starters. The ads I've seen said things like "Make $70,000 per year driving for Uber in city X!"

That statement is outright false a full time Uber driver makes $12 an hour after expenses under the _best_ of circumstances. People quit jobs, take out new car loans, and generally make long term commitments based on statements from Uber like the one above.

Uber also has total control over pricing, and lowers prices and changes what they pay drivers often with little more than a couple weeks notice if that. The driver has taken all the risk with regards to changing jobs, going into debt etc and Uber has them over a barrel. I can't think of another industry where a contractor would work under conditions like that where they let the company control the rate they get paid and change it at any time on short notice.

Yes, that would be a strongly recommended way. I could see using a unix timestamp as a numeric field as another way.
I've never heard the banditry argument. But it makes sense. Assuming that some variety of Asimov's laws will apply to self driving trucks they won't be able to defend their cargo (beyond locking and calling for help) it makes sense that there would be some sort of security detail. I wonder if, in the style of Ned Lud, if the robbers will in part be the same displaced truck drivers?
> How do you know? My impression is that most taxi drivers are very busy adapting. But I don't know either.

To be clear: I don't know either. I'm an outsider to this industry. I'm just offering arguments.

> Let's be clear: The people hardest hit by Uber/Lyft is taxi company owners.

I don't think this is true. They're losing the most money, but they have lots of money. Taxi drivers risk losing all their revenue, which is worse.

> Uber has been around for half a decade. How many decades does it take?

I think this is the hardest question. According to the people behind this bill, half a decade is not enough. I agree with that judgment.
You don't need to refrigerate eggs. They will last for months unrefrigerated.

I'm in the US and I haven't refrigerated eggs in years. Yes, you can buy them refrigerated from the store and just leave them out - absolutely nothing bad will happen.

The only risk is salmonella and that is solved by buying a brand that vaccinates their chickens. (About 50% of US chickens are vaccinated against salmonella so it's not hard to find a good brand.)

Let's say a law like this did get passed. How could it even be worded?

For example, if it merely says "you have to give the cops your password when a judge tells you to" then using a password manager should technically protect you, because you don't know the password and have no way of retrieving it.

They could add "or the password for your password manager" but then the judge would have to say "give up all of your passwords", not just the one(s) relevant to the investigation.

Either way, the law would also have to say "and don't change your password(s) until the investigation is over" or "and give the cops a copy of your password whenever it changes".

Even then, you'd only be getting the people with 1) nothing to really hide or 2) so stupid they would have gotten caught some other way anyway because all a criminal would have to do is set their data to permanently lock, or self destruct, when the cops enter the fake password the criminal turned over.

The only way this could work is if the cops could just straight up compel you to assist in your own investigation. They can already do that by tricking you, so I don't think this would add much.
I think if breaking changes are made, there is no point, it would not be called JSON 2.0; it is an entirely new data format. When there are hundreds to thousands of alternatives, trying to "fix JSON" isn't the solution. JSON works because it is simple and easy to follow, it is robust and flexible, and has no restrictions. There is no good way to store dates in XML or many other formats, without the use of Schemas, and the syntax changes are minimally beneficial. It wouldn't save a lot of bandwidth with gzip, and the text data likely doesn't add up to a lot of disk space when compared to the data being stored; so removing commas which make parsing JSON easy and increases its adoption and usage, just so some people can have less linting errors doesn't seem like a large benefit.

Yes, but how I read that sentence is that Banksy is talking about the relationship between the advertiser and the one seeing the advert, not the one selling the space to advert. _Even_ _if_ Banksy made all required agreements, he would still be severely limited regarding how he is allowed to use existing ads and e.g. communicate to the people criticism regarding the ads. I do not expect everyone to agree with his views, as this is pretty much the core of the IP discussion that has been going on for quite a long time.

(And just to note, I almost kept only the first paragraph of my original comment for why people have strong feelings against ads, but decided to include also the rest for some context.)
We already tax them. I'll support UBI if that's conditional on ending every other government welfare program -- including student loans and grants, health subsidies, etc.

It would be hugely more efficient!
I'd agree with you on any other case. But it seems to me a big part of Uber's "innovation" was circumventing the taxi regulations - which were protecting the taxi business, yes, but also giving protection to customers and individual drivers.

With that I can kinda understand there is an interest to keep taxis alive.

The most general thing -- involving the fewest new interfaces, even if the implementation is a big deal, would be an anonymous tmpfs. Where applications could stage a sort of poor-mans transaction.

The hard bit is that for it to be useful, you would need atomic renames from the TMPFS to some other arbitrary filesystem.

I guess abolishing the EXDEV error would be possible where the target filesystem has journaling, but it sounds like a big job to me.
It's fun to be reminded of controversy that happened outside of modern memory.
I don't believe the original purpose of JSON was to eval untrusted objects, since that would always have posed a security risk. It did however offer a very easy standard way to share and parse data back in 1999. In 2016, I believe continued backwards compatibility is a necessity; otherwise you are just creating a new data storage format. So removing commas doesn't seem like an acceptable improvement, especially when the recommendation comes out of a necessity due to human error while hand-editing. JSON is incredibly easy to read and write by hand, in comparison with XML it is far easier to parse and traverse through code do its significantly simplified structure. If however, you need more functionality, switch to a different format; why bother trying to mangle or force JSON to work where it doesn't. There are other technologies and standards out there, use them.
Is there then a question about how high a priority this robbery will be for the police since no life is in danger? Perhaps trucking companies will have to hire security guards instead of drivers...
