The laws have gotten increasingly vague, and enforcement increasingly discretionary, so you never know which rule (if any) will be applied to what action. As such, no one can guarantee that any action is 'legal', so the risk team will always say there is a 1-10% chance of being fined/prosecuted.

These enforcement actions have become an unavoidable cost of doing business.

few bigs target small business because, let's be honest, they're a pain to work with at scale

It's not that difficult, it's just incentivized in our not-so-free market. Big companies can afford lawyers and lobbyists and they get all the best tax breaks and subsidies. Small companies, not so much.

each one of them brings variations to the base product flavor but no budget to implement them

Yep, because the base product is designed for the large clients.

It's all incentives to target big companies. Why do you need permissions and user account management in your software? Because you're dealing with 20+ people and you may not know everyone in your company and if they can be trusted. Why do you have a base product that requires at least 10,000 database items in it to be useful? Because the big companies have that many items and they've got a monopoly or oligopoly on the market.

I once proposed to have a sort of web excel with security controls and a way to let authenticated guests to work on a subset of cells as a way to move small businness online leaving control to them of their process implementation but couldn't find a sponsor.

This is actually what should and would happen in a free market. The majority of companies are not very large; most of them have a bit of extra cash to invest in a tool like that. There is a definite market for it. But why isn't that market pursued? All of the above incentives mentioned above.

> In any event, I'll gladly take the other side of any of these bets which predict complete and total anarchy. The despondency of the climate scientists you cite is validation how insane (literally) people have become over this, it's not additional evidence of the true state of the world.

So basically you're choosing to willfully ignore the experts' opinions when they're freaking out after having literally spoken to the public for this for 3 decades and having warned of the consequences of inaction.

No, your position is insanity. You're essentially denying things because your worldly observations end where your eyes stop seeing.

Let's analyze the strawman you've brought up.

We have a history of Satoru Iwata teaming up with Nintendo of America, to the point of letting them influence design decisions on the hardware they release (look at Prototype Nintendo DS systems at E3 vs. Release). The name "Wii" was a play on the english word "We". Reggie Fils-Aime had his fingerprint on every product marketed between the DS and the 3DS, evident especially in the embrace of "Blue Ocean" strategies from hardware, to software, to marketing (which is why they hired him from Viacom).

The US was first in everything, A time that had the highest sales since the original Famicom/NES. It is merely sticking one's head in the sand to not notice and acknowledge the change in direction this new console is leading.

Personally, I think mass migrations are all bad, and migrations should be controlled to minimize disruption. "Everything in moderation" as they say. I think some immigration is a very good thing, no immigration leads to stagnation, and open-borders leads to too many problems. I definitely don't agree with any racist BS about any group of people having the right to take what they want at the expense of others.

I do still maintain, however, that (this isn't directed at you at all) sometimes when talking to some people on the left, I really do feel like a right-wing extremist... I guess that's the problem with extremism: it happens on both (all) sides, so compared to the true extremist, someone who's a moderate will seem to be on the opposite "side", esp. in this crappy American system where everything is distilled down to only 2 sides.

The definition of "a foot" was only agreed relatively recently: it wasn't all that long ago that countries differed on their definition.

This is where FoxPro/dbase was the solution. I work with that for some years and none on the current tech match that.

Fox was the best part of Acces (the GUI builder, but way better) + a capable embedded database engine + way better language than anything else for businesses apps.

This could sound weird, but even python is to hard in contrast with fox. Also, being more database focused, interactive and with decent GUI abilities was a match in heaven.

Fox is still pervasive in my country in a lot of simple apps/POS systems. Is the perfect match (you can even provide custom report, form building, etc to end user using exactly the same tools that fox give us). Not was uncommon that some folks at that small companies learn a bit of fox to customize their apps.

My current dream is try to build something like this, and salivate what will happens if also put spreadsheet there with true relational support. Is a pipe dream, because this require a dedicated team and funding, and this kind of "unsexy" tool not fly anywhere.

Let's see what a typical SMB needs:

1. office space, you can co-work, work from home, do virtual office etc these days, not much to invent there.

2. accounting and bookkeeping, you can hire a CPA at about $300/month, or quickbooks/etc for $30/month, not much to be done there.

3. hardware, computers are not expensive these days. Unless you're doing IT, windows 10 and a NAS and printer etc can get you going, if you're geek please use linux/bsd, again not much new stuff here either.routers/hubs are easy to get too.

4. communication, online video conference, cellphone, skype, various video calls etc, slack for IRC, they're all affordable even for a startup.

5. that left with some legal advice, sales and marketing, develop your own products etc, which is common for all size businesses.

Might be missing something in the list, but I could not see anything major to be disrupted in SMB space myself, especially, they're mostly having a tight budget and fighting for survival from the start before considering being your customer.

The point with consent is that you cannot accurately asses consent of a very drunk person. So if she is very intoxicated and says "yes" you should not assume that's real consent. You should make sure she gets home safe and leave your number for her in the morning if she still wants it.

People can certainly consent while drunk, they can commit crimes while drunk as well.

Also our public services practically beg people to drive drunk, most public transit in most cities completely or mostly shuts down shortly before or exactly when the bars close.

The GameCube was also late to the market in North America: it was the last console to release, a year after PS2 (which had a fully-functional DVD player to boot, though it wasn't as dominant of a coup as the PS3's Blu-ray) and a few days after the Xbox, the latter of which had Halo as a launch title -- half of all Xboxes were bought concurrently with Halo for the first few months [1]. Meanwhile on the GameCube side, a toyish purple cube, with an bland array of launch titles, half of which were already out for other platforms [2].

Dude, you're acting like you can't hear the absolutely, completely overwhelming scientific evidence. That makes you, by definition, a luddite.

There is literally nothing to debate. No temperature charts that are not showing incredible amounts of energy being concentrated in the atmosphere and the oceans. Nothing that contradicts the incredible amount of CO2 accumulating in the oceans.

The prediction of doom is not just a single one; it is an ensemble of dozens of models with multiple, variable parameters that assume great levels of uncertainty, and they still point at the same place.

What are you exactly trying to demonstrate? What proof do you have that the overwhelming evidence and the (thus far) very succesful predictions of climate are wrong?
Agreed but the guy seems to like recognition and as a "billionare" I would assume the only thing left is to cement your legacy. How better to do it than be recognized by the world as the US president who changed stance on global warming and made a difference.

It has been warmer... But we've never been so many people on this planet who really depend so much on a stable climate. We are really pushing this planet to the edge right now even without climate change.

If the climate changes, we all have to adapt. Cities with millions near the ocean or in extremely hot areas will have to be relocated. Existing agricultural land will become unusable, and we'll have to come up with new land. We are already using up most the planet's fertile ground on agriculture, so it is not like we can just start using the desert. So you'll have migration and food crisis on your hands...

It doesn't sound like you _would_ be able to maintain a voltage across a superconductor. [Think about what that would mean, in terms of electric charge... very odd. Doesn't sound like something that would happen. It's like saying there's a equilibrium top-heavy-ness to a weighted vacuum tube. The weights should fall, unabated, no matter how many you add at the top.] Doesn't mean you can't have current, though, and modulate the current. Just that you can't use [the superconductor's] voltage to do so.

Emphasis on "hard working". Like, "come six days a week at 7 am, go home at 11 pm" hard working. There's a large variation, but such a condition can still be found in many places.

> Korean manhwa is arguably more innovative than the Japanese counterpart.

And Korean comic artists probably make 1/10 of what Japanese ones make.

Of course if you just consume the products and culture of Korea, it seems great. (And cheap!) Not so great when you are the one working in these conditions.

* Yes, these brutal conditions played a role in rapid industrialization, so one might argue that they were a "necessary" sacrifice to escape poverty, but those days are gone and now such a condition actively harms the country. South Korea's firtility rate is 1.24 as of 2015, because many people don't have time to love, get married, and raise kids. (I'm serious.) At this rate, soon the country will be filled with 70+ year olds, and then the economy won't sustain itself: the whole country will collapse like a deck of cards.

1) Choosing JavaScript for a Math heavy project would likely be a mistake. There are plenty of other examples of picking the wrong language for the wrong job. That's where this statement falls apart.

2) Depending on how you bring them all together, yes this can be true. If you have something like AWS API Gateway, then microservices may be manageable. If you're rolling your own custom solution with something like nginx or haproxy, you're probably wasting a ton of cycles.

3) Again, I tend to agree with this. Premature optimization seems to be the norm these days. Especially when you get devops people involved. Do we need every single layer in our stack to be "highly available" if we have zero users? The answer is NO.

4) Well, this sounds clever, but I'm not sure it really means anything. Setting up something like Jenkins to watch your GitHub repos and build the branch and run the tests can alert you to issues early and really isn't that difficult to setup.

5) Nothing wrong with TDD as long as you don't go overboard. Nothing wrong with standups, planning or retros. Nothing wrong with short sprints.

Like a few others here I've always thought that running all your apps on the OS in containers could be cool. It's my impression that Chrome OS already kind of works like this - with each app in it's own sandbox.

Are there any inherent limitations on doing things this way? Because it seems to me that the benefits gained in security, convenience and ease of installation would out-weight any downsides here. Downsides being: more RAM required, less "bare metal" access, more hard drive space required. I am NOT a systems engineer but running all apps in their own containers seems to make a lot of sense at an intuitive level.

I wonder what prompted him to take a refresher course in a subject covering ethics and misconduct?

It suggests that he had misgivings, and took a refresher course to determine whether his fears were justified, or whether this was a normal part of academic life. Or perhaps he took the course to give himself a rationale for raising the issue.

"What's stopping an upstart company to buy/lease 10,000 self-driving cars and let them loose on the street?"

You're right that self-driving cars would be a major challenge/opportunity. Re: what's stopping an upstart, letting self-driving cars loose on the street is inefficient. There is a huge amount learned/accrued intelligence involved in how those self driving cars are orchestrated for optimize the marketplace. So that's where a key capability is going to be important even in a world where self-driving is commoditized.

No voltage drop means, when you push an electron on the superconductor with some energy, another one is pushed out somewhere else with the same energy.

There is no voltage difference on the line, but unless your entire circuit is a superconducting line, there will be some voltage drop somewhere determining your current. And if the entire circuit is superconducting, you set your current by magnetic means.

Agreed. Saying something is 'safer' than something else, doesn't make the original thing 'Safe'. Vaping causes Cancer, so does Tobacco smoking. All of you are saying "Vaping is Safer because it isn't AS BAD AS smoking Tobacco". Agreed. But another way of saying is "We think Vaping is Safer because it causes Cancer in 20 years, whereas Tobacco smoking is will cause Cancer in 10 years"
