I find the pressure Sweden was exposed to by the US to ram this legislation through making us literally spy on our neighbors appalling.

Sweden was at the time threatened with being delisted from a US preferential trade list if it did not comply.

As a result of bowing down to the US, Sweden is now complicit in the crimes of the US. The global spying, the drone killings it leads to, the increased pressure Russia finds itself under (and has to act out against).

> If they were important, the DNC would've been encrypting their emails to protect what they were talking about.

Don't you think this vastly overestimates the technical competence and infosec understanding/awareness of the organization in question? It seems obvious that they presumed that their unencrypted emails were not going to become public information.
It doesn't really matter what they're doing or saying now, what matters is what they were doing and saying at the time the evaded/avoided the law. If I admit to breaking the law, I still broke the law and I will still be punished for it. It doesn't retroactively make it okay just because I've admitted to it.

At the time they submitted their cars for testing, they told the world these cars met the test standards and did not say they had software to detect the test and modify the engine tuning. They only admitted it after they got caught, so at the time of the testing, they were evading the law, not avoiding it.

Avoiding the law would be not submitting their cars for testing.
> 1. Trello was smart in only taking $10M in VC funding

Trello wasn't "smart" for only taking $10M in funding (and only in one, late, round, which means it only gave away probably 20-30% equity.)

Trello happened to be spun off from an established company, which took care of financing initial product development and growth. This is equivalent to the founders financing maybe a $1.5M round and a $4M round from their own pocket.

Don't try to beat Trello's benchmark in funding strategy, unless you happen to be able to finance the first few rounds from your own pocket.

> 2. Atlassian now has a product that [.] will easily be interegrated into their existing stack and it complements their products very well.

Atlassian would be wise to keep this integration from being too tight. Trello shines as the most general project management tool out there (except maybe a spreadsheet, although that is the one thing I can't bear to do with a spreadsheet), and if it became a developer-centric collaboration tool I for one would probably stop using it, even for collaboration among developers.

Well, that's a big weakness of these theories, I think. My question is not terribly complex or dependent on unusual or unrealistic situations.

I would also note that sometimes, people operating off a 'psychologist' basis like you've identified, misunderstand the critiques of others as being also 'psychologist'. For example, the Hayekian critique of central economic planning is often characterized as a psychological argument that "people are naturally selfish and greedy". Thus, if you can get them to stop being so selfish, the objection is overcome. However, what the critique is actually about is inherent limits to knowledge and information, which would apply regardless of psychology.

> you're assigning a value to a thing beyond it's market cost and saying everyone is in fact a winner

Of course. If that weren't true, people would not buy insurance.

> Risk pooling via a private insurance company is negative sum

If you only consider monetary costs and benefits, yes. But this ignores the (non-monetary) value to the insured of not being exposed to the risk (because that risk exposure has been transferred to the insurer).

> That should not then be taken to mean it's a bad deal (it isn't).

I agree that it's not a bad deal; I'm just saying that the reason it's not a bad deal is that people consider more than just monetary costs and benefits.
> If anyone can answer what the 'correct' interpretation of a piece of writing is, it's the author.

Why is that?

There are a myriad of ways to analyze a piece, and many focus on reader response rather than authorial intent. You can dismiss reader response as merely incorrect initially, but this becomes complicated when you try to analyze works written by reader response critics. Indeed some authors like Burroughs take this to the extreme, introducing randomness (via cut-up technique) to their writing in an attempt to eschew even the possibility of authorial intent. Burroughs was somewhat limited in his approach by the technology of his day, but it's not hard to imagine approaches using modern technology which remove an author from the system completely.

I am not saying I agree that reader response criticism entirely: just because authorial intent isn't special doesn't mean that reader response is the answer. Frequently reader response is used as a way for critics to use a piece of literature as a soapbox for their own ideologies, and I find that distasteful. But I do think that there's some validity to the idea that authors don't have any special authority to interpret their own work.

For example, look at the song "I'll be watching you". Sting had said that he intended this song to be about government surveillance. But almost universally this song has been (mis?)interpreted as being about a stalker. Any analysis of the song which focused solely on Sting's intent would be incomplete, because the interpretation of the consumers of the song is far more related to its cultural relevance.

“Watch Your Language” – The Road to Cleaner Code with SwiftLint
I have been consistent in my line of argument.

The written word is a medium of exchange not an independent artifact. If you read a recipe with "Add 3 cups of water." the author's intent is to tell you how to make something edible. So, it means poor 3 cups of water not take three 1 cup containers with water and add the containers and water to the mixture.

You can find examples like this in any lengthy text. But, death of the author is not about exploring that kind of grammatical wordplay it's about shielding the critic from reality. Thus, intent is both considered and ignored when it helps them.
> To respond directly to your question: because there are new things available in new libraries that allow us to develop new features!

>In this light, I'll note that Bush the elder removed US all nuclear arms from the Korea peninsula in 1991

True, but:

* given the US's nuclear submarine, bomber and ICBM capability this was likely seen as a moot point. The threat was still there. Indeed, one of the reasons the US cited for removing its nukes was that they were no longer needed.

* They actually never fully confirmed this withdrawal until 1998.

>Overall, my impression is that North Korea fears a conventional ROK/US invasion much more than a nuclear exchange scenario

I think so too - for now, but it probably didn't seem that way in 1958 when they had nukes pointed at them.

>I also don't think the situation would be different if NK didn't have a nuclear arms program

I do. They'd be much more vulnerable to invasion. Given the US's military history in the last half century (Vietnam, Iraq, etc.), I think their fear of that is somewhat justified.

Their alliance with China does provide some protection but relations have soured over the last few decades and if I were them I wouldn't see it as a relationship they could depend upon.
>> Not sure how you would classify the DNC emails as being "secrets". Hacking a DNC email server and then sending them to Assange to me doesn't really qualify as exposing secrets. If they were important, the DNC would've been encrypting their emails to protect what they were talking about.

This seems to have a baseline assumption of competence that I don't think is warranted. There's shockingly little relationship between privacy intentions and privacy actions. Presumably "let's attack Sanders for being Jewish" isn't something the DNC wanted to see on the front page of a newspaper, no matter how clumsy they were about protecting it.

More broadly, what you describe in the other two paragraphs is exactly what Assange has been pulling for. Elsewhere, he's talked about raising the difficulty of secret dealings until powerful organizations have the choice of being ethical or inefficient. If transparent dealings are enough easier than opaque ones, opaque and anti-public-interest dealings should become rarer.

There are a bunch of criticisms here, some of which are quite reasonable. Assange nominally respects personal privacy while opposing institutional privacy, but revealing institutional behavior after the fact almost always compromises some personal information. And anti-public-interest is not 1-to-1 with opaque; plenty of groups do incredibly harmful things based on deniability or sheer boringness instead of secrecy.

Even so, I think things like "showing the DNC was in Clinton's pocket" are exactly in Assange's wheelhouse. If the DNC was neutral (as their bylaws required), there would have been no problem. If it had been an open pro-Clinton PAC it would have been non-notable. As is, he's hopefully raised the difficulty of screwing the public as a nominally-neutral organization.

I'm guessing it's because you're projecting political baggage onto something that is more of just an interesting theoretical result. The Price of Anarchy's original setting was the issue of internet routing, and the "mystery" of how it could work without any central oversight. The answer is that there is a price you pay for having completely decentralized, selfish decision making, but it's bounded. The central oversight bears little relation to a government - it's an oracle that can calculate a theoretical optimum, not some kind of decision-making bureaucracy or something.

I don't understand the subsidies at all. In 2015, ACA gave people waivers (no penalty!) if the minimum insurance was more than 8.05% of household income. The minimum plan for a family in NYC on the NY Healthcare Exchange is $12,500/year. Self-employed families making less than $147,000 and more than $60,000 (I think that's where subsidies cut off) are overlooked and left without a safety net.
Personally (and I'm not sure if JIRA fixes this, but Trello gets around it), the biggest issue I have is that Github treats repositories as the only possible context. Say a bug comes in that covers multiple repositories (e.g.: requires a mobile app fix and a backend fix), then you need to create two completely seperate issues and remember to link them manually. This breaks down very quickly. I would much rather issues to optionally exist at an organisation level, with per-repository sub issues stemming from that organisation-level issue.

It also means that someone submitting bugs, say from customer support, must try and figure out where the issue is in order to log it. It's a huge hassle and most just give up and ping an engineer on Slack which is incredibly inefficient.

Trello gets around this by letting you create a "master" issue and link to the individual repository issues. It means engineering can have a bug inbox and triage from there. Still a huge pain and not ideal.

Github also has the "Projects" feature, but it is useless IMO due to the above issue - I wish projects would work at an organisation level.

I literally puked when it ranked my previous college (A very bad public university in India) along with UT Austin & UW. UT Austin & Other good universities' students are more likely to spend their time on something productive and therefore not fall into the rut of competitive programming, while companies coming to my college make the students believe that competitive programming is how they'll evaluate them(I blame Amazon & Google). The list very much biased towards India, Russia & China. Due to the low course load as compared to US Universities, students there generally have a lot of time on their hands to spend on Hackerrank. Also exaggerated by the fact that handful of companies that hire from there look at this kind of scores only.

You don't have to use autotools, but it makes doing the right thing easy. If you want to use CMake (I much prefer it myself!) just make sure you use pkg-config, same with scons or whatever. These are all included in Fedora's (my distro of choice) package collection and there's no trouble using them to build.

But please, if you decide to bundle third party libraries make sure you can build without them and use ones provided by the system instead. It's a political nightmare to include packages with bundled libraries because it makes security updates a huge headache since we can't simply rely on Anitya (https://release-monitoring.org/distro/Fedora/) to send us notifications that a new release of the library is available, not to mention the extra work of actually updating the bundled library once we do find out an update has been published.

>People expect you to have Gmail and Slack open all day and to reply in the 5 minutes.

When I was looking for my last job, I explicitly queried about this:

"Will it be OK if I check my email only 3 times a day (at work)?"

In my previous job, too much work was done through email. Person wants me to do some work and return a plot. I send it to him. Within 5-30 minutes, he has a question about it. I have to respond soon. And it goes on and on - with each email interrupting whatever work I'm doing.

So I don't have "meetings through email" any more. They want to ask me stuff? Let's get in a room and at a fixed time and work through them.

"I keep my messenger app permanently off. Is that a problem?"

>but at the end you are interrupted every 5 minutes by people walking and talking/screaming/laughing about anything.

For me, this is a non-issue, and much preferred to emails and IM's. Especially IM. Also, phone calls are OK too. Why?

With IM, they start a conversation and then suddenly disappear, only to reappear 15 minutes later when I think the issue is closed and have started to work on something. No one does that in person (well, almost no one).

When they come to me in person or call me on the phone, they cannot just browse the Internet while talking. They are mindful of my time. And somehow, I feel they prepare their questions better, too.
