This post is contributing to the problem because it is littered with half-truths designed to sway the conversation.

>He started his campaign with a pledge to "ban all muslims entering the US"

Half-truth. Trump isn't calling to "ban all muslims entering the US". Trump is calling for a shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. There is a difference between the two.

>He started his campaign with [this pledge]

Half-truth. Trump started his campaign in June 2015. He made his statements on Muslim immigration in December 2015. This pledge came later.

>He has lied about seeing thousands of New Jerseyans celebrating 911

Half-truth. Lying is “a false statement made with intent to deceive”. Without looking into Donald Trump's head, it's very difficult to show there is intent to deceive. The most likely explanation I've seen floating around, is Trump saw footage of Muslims celebrating the attacks on TV, and mistook those celebrating for being in New Jersey.

NPR elaborates on why it's hard to call this lying here: http://www.spin.com/2017/01/npr-news-wont-call-donald-trumps...

>He has also said he "would certainly implement [a Muslim registry][1]"

Half-truth. In the article you cited, the actual quote is "Oh I would certainly implement that. Absolutely." But in the article you cited, it describes how it's not clear what Trump's "that" refers to. In his earlier answer, he says "There should be a lot of systems, beyond database, we should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it... But right now we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall. And we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen". In Trump's view, his "that" may refer to "a lot of systems, beyond database" plus "a border, [having] strength, [having] a wall". But if "that" refers to the reporter's question 4 sentences earlier, then "that" would refer to "a database that tracks the Muslims in this country".

The article you cited backs up this ambiguity, saying:

"The remarks were made after a rally, and there was speculation by some on social media afterwards that Trump did not hear the entirety of the question, because he refers to the border in his answer."

So really, what "that" refers to is ambiguous.

> the San Bernardino attacked was carried out by a US citizen of Pakistani descent.

Half-truth. The San Bernardino attack was carried out by two people, one of whom was a US citizen of Pakistani descent. The other attacker was born in Pakistan and immigrated on a marriage visa to the U.S.

I think SRE is what you are looking for. They typically know the product pretty well. The reason why they rollback rather than fix the bug immediately is that they want the outage to by fixed in minutes. Even if you spotted the bug immediately you would not have enough time to do the build, let alone run the tests.
This article neatly illustrates something I find interesting: the biases of the various methods of detecting exoplanets.

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

Direct imaging more easily detects massive planets that orbit far away from their star. Every one of the planets that orbit HR8799 (that we've detected) are farther out than Saturn, and many times heavier than Jupiter.

On the other hand, the transit and and radial velocity methods work better for planets that are closer to their star, and with radial planes that are edge on to us. On the third hand, with the astromery method, it helps for the orbital plane to be face on to us, so we can detect the wobble in the host star!

For all these methods, it helps if the star is both small and dim. The only way we'll find out if Rigel A (~120,000x brighter than Sol) hosts a planet is if we send a probe there.

The guy who took Costal Contacts public buys Shoes.com and two existing shoe businesses. The business experiences revenue growth and raises $45M.

https://www.internetretailer.com/2015/05/21/shoescom-raises-...

Suppliers start having trouble getting paid. The business announces a hiring spree.
Four months later, they shut down.

This is manic. If you can build a company and take it public, make what looks like a solid set of moves to get into a nice position and grow that position in revenue terms - what went wrong? What is the lesson? I'm assuming the CEO knew the ropes, perhaps not? Seems unlikely.

I suspect their top line was good but their margins were negative. That, something out of left field or foul play of some kind. Its noted they had lawsuits pending, which I suspect relate to collections.

I know that walmart recently purchased shoebuy. So shoes.com's competition, already stiff, may have been overwhelming.

Even so, wouldn't you wind it down then?

clang will(at least v4 will) tell you you did a silly thing if it can reason that your a statically binding a reference to nullptr. int & i = (int)0;

Not sure how far it can go down the rabbit hole though. This is really where value types/regular types are really nice.

I think it would have been better for Java to allow the flatmap like stuff for any reference instead of creating an optional. But I am not a fan of either for when there is no value due to error conditions. There are optional values and there are errors that prevent the fulfillment of the contract. So either throw so something can be done or return a class that can either be an error or the value. But returning null does not allow the caller to act on it.

You are so right though about non-null references. I would go further and say nullable should not have been the default but an added keyword. That is the trait of a c++ reference I like. Just use it and don't check for null. With that Optional can have some differentiation and is meaningful for situations where an error hasn't occurred.
That is the first time I hear this sentiment. Most I know have been bitten by Paypal for suspected fraud etc and will never touch them again. PP their attitude to fraud is shoot first, maybe ask later.
I've seen enough people doxxed in various capacities that there are good reasons for this in general. You won't find anything on mine... if I even have one. I've been avoiding Facebook since the days it required a .edu email to sign up, for example.

That said, I'm sure that all the politicians have people who can drum up social media followers or spread whatever message they want. I don't think there's any conspiracy to it. It's not like we've gotten rid of email spam, either. This is just an extension of that.

> Again, why is Optional.empty() better then null?

Because with Optional the type tells the caller that it might not return a value. With null, you have no idea if you need to check for null or not.

Being able to chain maps, filters, etc. is convenient as well, but I'd argue that's just a side benefit.

Oh, one other thing Optional can do that null can't: nest. For example, if you call get() on a Map, and it returns null, you can't tell if the key wasn't in the map, or if it's value was null. If get() returned an Optional, then for a Map<String,Optional<String>>, get() would return Optional<Optional<String>>.
You can get a 4TB SSD. They are a little pricy, but they do exist.
But why returning Optional.empty better than returning null?
Enterprise customers are also vastly more sticky and vastly less price-conscious than a consumer/retail customer. I completely agree about the sales cycle part, but it's amazing how locked-in enterprise customers will allow themselves to be.
Mansion: Raycasting Technical Demo
My approach works with arbitrary conditions, that's why it takes closures as arguments. So it's a little bit of a different requirement, I wanted something as general as possible.
While this is true, I think this exposes the weaknesses of the interface in no uncertain terms. For example, holding down the left button while moving the pointer about (which can be used for 3D rotation or translation in SW) is cumbersome and quickly becomes painful on a track-pad.

Similar issues appear when using other applications, such as 2D drafting or electrical engineering design programs.

Getting away from that class of software, even using Excel is a pain. A mouse or trackball have what I am going to call a "static" relationship with the pointer. If I life my hand I can go back and touch the mouse or trackball and organically move the pointer. When you do the same with a track-pad you lose your reference point completely.

At home we have a Logitech keyboard with a track-pad to run the PC connected to our home theater system. I can't describe how cumbersome this feels when compared to connecting a trackball to the same rig. I've run the test with multiple visitors. I give them a lap desk and the keyboard. It's uncomfortable. I then connect a wireless thumb-operated trackball. Night and day. Not one person wants to go back to the track-pad once they experience this.

It's a bad interface. It also happens to be cheap and probably OK for people who just want hang out on Facebook and do menial tasks on the computer.

My take is computer designers have gotten lazy. Nobody wants to innovate when it comes to the hard stuff. Apple used to have physical trackballs on their laptops. Innovating past the track-pad requires someone to have the balls to say "Hey market, try this idea" and be willing to have it flop. That's why it isn't happening, track-pad are crap, but they are safe from a consumer acceptance perspective.

Of course. An engineer within the company has access to source code without having to involve multiple parties. This does not preclude other threats or diminish the reach of a well-funded agency.

Can an engineer at Google write code to log searches more easily than an outsider? Sure. That doesn't mean that you should write off the possibility that a third party could do the same.

> The Echo family also can't stream audio continually, the CPU is not very powerful and the sheer bandwidth required would be enough for anyone tech savvy to notice.

This is probably the most compelling independently-verifiable argument.

Even assuming the ability to do arbitrary things with an Echo, logging or transmitting useful voice all the time without notice isn't doable. And it seems hard to recognize suspicious discussions and turn on just for those (Echo has enough trouble recognizing "Alexa" 100% reliably).

You could subvert Echo so that it records you during pre-determined times - but there are so many other devices you could subvert, too. Getting malware on a government official's personal laptop via spearphishing seems so much easier.

I think it's a false dichotomy that great architecture and fast iteration are at odds. In fact, great architecture is what allows fast iteration to happen.

Yes, simplify your system by using as few moving parts as possible. But that also means don't use bloated frameworks that silently slow down your iteration pace with technical debt.

So many startups I've consulted with were stuck with having to redo core architecture right when they found market fit. It's a tough position to be in. The main rule to follow is that good design allows better design to happen later, it's worth investing in that

Thanks very much for this info.

For a few years now I've wanted to build a handheld device that captures the essence of Lisp machines, Forth, and systems like the Commodore 64 and Canon Cat, in a portably accessible/usable form, wrapped in a highly pocketable but ruggedized enclosure similar to the old Nokias that lasted forever. I envisage it primarily as a teaching device and something people could hack on for fun, but the whole idea has never been especially practical or marketable. Now I know what it might be for (when I have a bit of money) - manufacturing education :) since device production has always been something I'm interested in and I do want some experience.

I also want to build a handheld device with a 2G+ baseband, secure boot, and an open-source firmware (perhaps seL4, most definitely not Android). The possibilities start with end-to-end encrypted SMS and trail off infinitely. I haven't really thought of what might be possible; I'm just stuck on the academic problem of secure boot - which is quite an issue, as not even Apple (just checked, $641B valuation right now) seem to be able to get this right: https://ramtin-amin.fr/#nvmedma. I'm saddened by the fact that all secure boot implementations seem to either be NDA-laden, based on security by obscurity, or both. I'm yet to find something I feel would be hard for even someone with a very very large pile of money (for arbitrary scaling of "very very large") to break. I realize that given infinite money everything is breakable, but current "secure" defenses seem to fall over much too readily IMO. (Eg, secure boot implementations have to have test modes; have these passed stringent code verification? A properly-formed legal case could subpoena any secure boot implementation's source code. This is assuming the likely-overly-idealistic case where there are no deliberate backdoors.)

I think there's a consumer vs. enterprise gap there. Chrome, Android, Chromebook, Docs/Drive (originally), etc. are all consumer products and gained traction in that space. Marketing to enterprises for something like GCP is quite a bit different and requires a different strategy that Google just hasn't really mastered yet.

Well the ingredients are basically there already.

What happens when people spend and borrow for a life they can't afford? Credit card debt, a second mortgage, a new car. Borrow, borrow, borrow. Eventually it comes crashing down and a massive correction takes place that is painful.

So we've basically been doing that. The last financial collapse was partly a correction that was needed, but was forbidden to let happen by virtually unlimited borrowing, near-zero interest rates, and 16 trillion in secret loans by the Federal Reserve. Sanders called it 'socialism for the rich,' while everyone else had to endure the pain.

Combined that with the escalations in the war with Russia over Syria, the discovery the US is funding jihadist terrorists, power returning to the people through hacktivism, the Nobel Peace Prize winner dropping 100,000 bombs throughout 7 different countries over the last 8 years, decreased liberties, increase police state abuses, never-ending unchecked constitutional abuses, dangerous identity politics coupled with undemocratic forces increasing diversity and immigration, and the rise of China and its actualization as a world power... Get ready.
> Instead, we have this bizarre situation where Apple is delivering underpowered and overpriced machines.

Underpowered for you. Overpriced for you.

Maybe they're not being made for you. Now perhaps this is Apple's mistake, but the fact is they're chasing after a market that's not you. It's people who don't care that the notebook is $2K, that the CPU isn't the best it could possibly be. They're buying more than just specs and a low price tag.

> They're ...overkill for people...

So are they underpowered or overpowered? Make up your mind, man! Is a Ferrari a better car than a Civic because it can go faster? Is a Ford F-150 terrible because it doesn't have low-profile tires and a rear engine?

Apple is just one vendor of many, we have options as consumers, and some people like their products.

A $2K notebook is not expensive, every vendor makes one at that price point and most have astonishingly terrible trackpads. A $3K notebook carries a premium, but it's a luxury product. It's not intended to be cheap.

Apple's mistake might be not differentiating their product line properly, for actually splitting out the actual "Pro" as in professional from "Pro" as in "Pro-sumer". Having to make one model that will sell in the millions of units does impose a lot of constraints.

Dell makes a bazillion different models of laptop, they can afford to take chances, but they also churn them over quickly. Apple doesn't roll that way, not today anyway. They prefer to focus on keeping the product line lean, and really get behind a few good models.

Maybe this is going to hurt them in the long run. We'll see.

Unfortunately you just described why people won't prefer GCP. With your competitor, AWS, people actually get a support but with GCP, they don't get anyone unless they complain on reddit, hacker news, twitter etc. and hoping that one of GCP employees may come across to their issue and they'd get some support.
