Yes. Java's main failings were its strong typing (forcing interfaces to be a needlessly awkward solution), and an emphasis on inheritance, creating deeply nested hierarchies, and leading people to use Hungarian Notation, creating even more awkward naming.

In any case, you can write OO in any language. Heck, if you look into the history, Scheme, A multiparadigm language in the Lisp family typically associated with FP, was actually intended to be something approximating OO (it was designed to implement Carl Hewitt's Actor Model, so as to help Sussman and Steele understand it better. They subsequently realized that their code for creating actors and sending messages was identical to their code for instantiating and calling functions, leading them to generalize and only include lambda in the language, concluding that actors and functions were one and the same. Hewitt did not approve).

> No TV, no cable.
> Lots of people in town know me, I know them, build a pretty social life.

I love TV( youtube, Netflix, amazon etc). I grew up with state TV and there is no stopping me now. There are all kinds of amazing stuff on TV, there is no limit to how much you can explore the world. Eg: This week, I time traveled back to soviet union in the 50's got to look their communal houses, social classes, dress codes, social norms ect all while being entertained [1].

I would rather be emotionally dependent on TV than a bunch of unpredictable random strangers. 'Small life' to me not less stuff ( stuff is cheap), its having predictable emotional dependencies. I don't understand the minimalism movement, people are somehow emotionally tied to their couch so getting rid of it makes them free?

>ditched the car ( does away with a whole class of problems/bills ).

I never got into an actual car till I was 19 yrs old. Now I own a cheap new car that bought for around 20k from my savings. Only bill I pay is insurance of ~$100, and there is routine maintenance once every couple of months. I don't consider that 'whole class of problems'. I love owning a car, so much freedom and less dependence on random unpredictable human beings. Small life.

> and skimming a bit of info on me

Is it really a "bit of info" though? Or is it your complete physical movements made with your phone, every web address you type in, every website you travel to (and search for) from Google search, every site you are are shown an adsense ad upon, your detailed browsing habits via Google Analytics, the entire contents of messages transcribed by Google Now, every app you purchase and use...

They appear to have controls to limit how this data is used today - a very good thing. However, we also have to trust every employee at Google now and in the future, as well as any company which Google subcontracts out to now and in the future, and any company which may eventually acquire Google, (not even thinking about Governments) to also respect our privacy with regards to this data.
Well his colleagues who lost their jobs because they trusted him probably aren't fans of his.
Totally confused for a second or two. Such is recursion.
Only if forced too....not every employee likely got payroll or maybe got a reduced amount with an IOU.
More should be done to highlight this. The persistent fanboy like culture, among those even in tech, which centers on only a handful of popular corporate names who serve as system integrators after the fact is dishonest and disingenuous in my opinion.

Given that the public funding of basic research most always results in the ushering in of new technological paradigms that make corporations tens of billions if not hundreds of billions of dollars, more should be done to make sure they pay back into the system that ensures their constant success.

Not every adult needs to cook in order for all the people to be fed.

Shared homes, or shared meals, would reduce the need cook so often. And reduce resource usage.

We've moved to a social system where all adults are expected to work. This leaves less time for social cohesion, domestic management, childrearing, and such. We've lost a lot in no longer having half of all parents not encumbered by paid work.
Even more recursive !

I'll agree that illegal was a stretch especially since IANAL. I will say that is at least unethical by my personal standards. On a practical note, I'd much rather see people investing their time in making better alternatives than reverse engineering.
Bills are a once a month thing, I rent so maybe it's different but my student loans should make up for that. In total? 15 minutes tops.

I dry clean my clothes myself, so yeah I agree clothes _can_ take up to 2 hrs. But picking out what to wear and polishing your shoes shouldn't count as an extra 10.5 hours a week.

Most people enjoy buying stuff, especially if it requires research because then they get psyched about it. Who doesn't like a new car? Other than that, it should be pretty rare to need to research for window cleaning products. You just buy what looks alright on the shelf and if it sucks don't buy it again.

The rest I'll agree with. Most people I see that "waste" their time are doing things like, marathoning Game of Thrones, drinking or celebrating something.

Here are some real wastes:

- Going after companies to get your money back for either incorrectly or over charging you, or charging you for services not rendered.
- "Market forces" raising prices, causing you to move right freaking next door so your rent can stay the same, or even lower.
- How about those Dr. appointments that you scheduled, only so you can wait an extra hour to actually be seen.
- Warranty covered oil changes that take an hour or even two (last time it happened to me).
- Standing in a 40 minute long line at the store because despite having 30 register's, they only have 2 cashiers. There is self checkout but of course it's already full of people struggling to understand how the machine works, or they're just generally slow moving.
- Holiday traffic/parking, where do all these vehicles come from? Even small towns get congested it's a real mystery to me.
- Spontaneously waking up in the middle of the night for a few hours, then oversleeping the next morning. Also, you need to go to bed early now to make it up.
- Paperwork for just about any government related activity. I just listed my SSN on three different pages why do I still have to fill this in again?

I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of...

>> What wouldn't I give to have such attention span!

It's surprisingly easy when forced. I moved apartment a few years ago to a small seaside town (mostly retirees and a few locally run shops). We had an old CRT style TV with very few channels. For the first two weeks we had no internet. It was pretty interesting how our differently we would spend the day. My friend and I would take walks around town or the beach, go surfing for a few hours, cook instead of ordering takeout, and then spend the rest of the time hanging out in the living room. The TV was on but we were mostly just chatting. Switch to two weeks later when we got internet. We spent much more time in our rooms on our computers playing video games or watching Netflix. We would still surf a couple of times a week but besides that we would only hangout for an hour or two in the evening if there was a good movie on TV. As frustrating as it was at times not having internet access I would say I was much happier during those first 2 weeks and with so few options for things to do my attention span was automatically much better.
Well, there were the glitches - the black cat that ran by twice?
> The cost of regulatory approval is high, but that's justified because the economic cost of a bad or even just ineffective drug piles up very quickly

I wonder what the result would be of vastly reducing regulatory approval requirements, but in exchange giving pharmaceutical companies unlimited liability. So, sure, put that poorly-tested drug out there, but every person who has horrifying side-effects is going to sue you for millions
I believe your last two sentences hit the full truth.

The real answer, individual consultants, and self-run people aside, is that if you DONT work more (to employers standard), you become unemployed.
> When I read this, it always makes me wonder what is going through your mind

I don't think Snowden was right. He was, in fact, wrong as a matter of the law and the Constitution. His concerns were misplaced. Okay, that's fine. But then, rather than doing the honourable thing and resigning — and keeping his oath — he betrayed his oath, he betrayed the trust placed in him, stole information he had no right to access in the first place and fled, first to Communist China and then to Neostalinist Russia (rather neatly giving the lie to his claims to care about human rights: the one government harvests organs from religious dissidents and the other detonated bombs in apartment buildings in order to solidify political power).

I am thoroughly convinced that a) not all Snowden has alleged is true; b) that which is alleged and true is legal and constitutional; and c) that which is both alleged and true is not something so immoral that despite being legal and constitutional it should be avoided anyway. Moreover, I am convinced that his behaviour meets the standard for treason.
If you're thinking of updating to Xcode 8, hoping that your project will 'just build', don't get your hopes too high.

I've already spent all day fixing, updating, searching around for all kinds of errors that the build system throws at me.
It also required me to update the project dependencies to their latest versions which support swift 3/xcode 8.
Some dependencies (like SwiftBond 5) have changed a lot and now my project has hundreds of syntax errors due to renamed methods, not that hard to fix, but not sure if they'll still run the same...

So this is a major upgrade to your project - do it when you have spare time to waste.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of reverting to Xcode 7.3 and running the two versions side by side... Is that possible ?

Using Machine Learning to Verify Machine Learning?
I couldn't agree more with you. Erasure was one of the top boneheaded decisions made in the history of Java development. The irony was that it was done in the name of backwards compatibility that, in practice, was unnecessary. The runtime and API changes introduced Java5 we so large that byte-compatibility was no useful during the transition.

Yeah, if you post threats on your Twitter account immediately before visiting a country that could be an issue. So don't do that. Threats against persons or property are reasonable things for public officials to be concerned about.

I repeat: you're not going to get dragged off to US prison for following Birgitta Jónsdóttir on Twitter.

You can't and won't be prosecuted here for having a political opinion or for following people that do on Twitter.

You basically suggesting Google to give up their(only?) leverage. Open source is all good, but if they can't make money out of these projects, you will see less of moon shots.
Snowden carte blanche stole and gave up "TONS of data about TONS of things", trusting only Greenwald, et al to filter out sensitive data.
Pretty sure this will inevitably become coma.ai.
Self driving cars could be coming to Boston within months
A million miles? That doesn't sound like a lot. Uber currently only has 14 self-driving cars but they are approaching 200,000 drivers. In 2-3 years, they could require a certain level of "automation" for all their drivers in order to gather data. They'll have hundreds of millions of miles.

How many Tesla cars have with their self-driving feature? 20,000 cars? They'll have 100,000 cars RSN.

By 2020, we will have 2 orders of magnitude more data.

a bit more complicated - IG Farben also produced multiple Nobel Prices in Medicine, represented the merged version of pretty much the complete German chemical industry.

AGFA, Bayer, BASF, Sanofi all trace back to IG Farben.

Not unlikely that you personally are alive because of their contributions to medicine. Unlike say Coca Cola or McDonalds. But yes, at the same time IG Farben
used slave labor in WW2, experimented on humans and had a subsidiary produce Zyklon B.

Reading the newspaper and magazines was basically the equivalent before the internet, I think. With the paper you'd eventually run out of stuff to read in a day, but if you had enough magazine subscriptions, you could find something marginally interesting.

I think one difference other than the never-ending aspect of the internet is that when you're reading a newspaper or book you get sleepy when you're supposed to, whereas if you're looking at a screen the blue light keeps you awake longer and all your chores take longer the next day because you have less energy.

The problem with the "can't negotiate" argument is that insurers have every incentive to negotiate on behalf of the patients they cover. And they have scale—United Healthcare covers more lives than the NHS.

I worked at a startup that dealt with international reimbursement and we accepted less in France because it was just how it was done. We got paid much more in Germany and the UK. In the US we got paid a lot from some people and sold a very similar product to Walmart for 1/5th the cost.

This was a small startup, not a global pharma company, though we worked with a few and saw similar patterns at play. History, as much as politics and economics, shapes the industry in profound ways.

Yes, Clinton has also ties to Russia, but not as close as Trump's and not a link to Putin like Paul Manafort. And Clinton having connections to Russia does not exclude Trump having it too. I just makes this election even worse.

And was it not strange that the DNC got hacked by Russian hackers just at the same time as the convention? I guess stars align just for Trump.
That could be true, she has chosen to pay for the compound version with cash more than once, and the price is $3k. It provides much more relief than the packaged version.

Obviously on the EOB from the insurer, they show they paid the same price the pharmacy communicates. That's pretty crazy if the TRUE price is obscure

Not sure on the packaged version price if cash was paid..
