Yes, the USSR was so secret, that it took decades for CIA to declassify its mortally dangerous jokes.

However, the "war of jokes" was integral part of the Cold War and do not underestimate one. There is terrific Russian novel about this battle, it took off in the late 60-ies.

Very important to know that a class of jokes about Russian Civil War heroes, Petyka and Vassily Ivanovich Chapaev was a viral campaign set off by the KGB to combat US/British jokes designed for Russians.

I like this one. "Can you drink a glass of vodka, Vassily Ivanovich?", asks Petyka. "Sure thing", boss answers. "How about two?" "No problem!" "And how about a full bucket of vodka?" "You know, it is only Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who is capable to drink the full bucket of vodka!"

The Mayor of Moscow is getting ready to take his wife to the Ballet.

“Why have you not put on your dress?”

“But darling, I don’t have any dresses good enough for the ballet.” replies his wife.

“Nonsense” the Mayor declares, opening the cupboard.

“There’s this blue dress, this green dress, hello comrade Dzerzhinsky, and this lovely white dress.”

Is it possible that due to some horribly unfortunate illness, one well-paid SV person loses their job? Let's say one has excellent insurance and a well-compensated job, but despite this fortune this person gets cancer and is out of work for a considerable time for medical reasons. Since California is an at-will state, this person may lose her job. Will she still have that great employer-provided insurance? Will the lack of affordable healthcare still not be a concern for her?

I think it's short-sighted to say that the lack of a social safety net is of no concern to a well-paid tech worker.

Isn't it obvious? All information can be used against you. So if the targeted entity knows what you're training your agents with to appear like natives citizens, you can change that context or create traps.

In other words, they were classified because they were in use by the CIA not due to being somehow special.

Have you tried a tablet? I'm really happy with my iPad for academic paper reading. Yes, eInk is very nice, but today's tablets are good enough for reading as well. Plus, it's a different kind of reading compared to, say, a novel. I tend to read academic papers quite quickly to glean the main bits of information. For leisurely reading, paper or Kindle would be better.

What Are Fastest and Easiest Ways to Monetize Your Video Content?
Yes, that's the kind of user interface that I believe should be the basis for modern programming environments. It's also the example I was thinking of when I said that linked structures are difficult to navigate beyond the few first nodes; a "boxes+arrows" representation just doesn't scale well without a way to structure nodes hierarchically and summarize the state of whole groups of objects.

It's been many years since I used it, so it may have evolved to include features for displaying large datasets; however what is needed is something akin to Bret Victor's "Learnable programming" principles, which is more powerful than simply tracing a single deterministic execution path (which is what classic "debugging" is).

Spelling it 'Kiev' is the 'Russian' way. Good Ukrainians spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it. Also, there's no fascists in Ukraine, if you ask Ukrainian nationalists. Asking if he's talking about Moscow is akin to calling him a Russian shill.

The propaganda is strong in modern Ukraine - don't dare question the new pro-west narrative. Never mind the fact that Poroshenko has a lower approval rating than Yanukovych did (still can't touch Yushchenko's 3% approval rating though).

It is what YOU can do, not what somebody else and/or the universe can do (but doesn't!!).

Amazing that people with such a lack of thinking-skills complain so much about Trump. I have the feeling what really irks you about that guy is that you are looking in a mirror, he's just like yourself!

> Women's rights

From a bit of reading it seems like their definition of womeens rights was quite different to how most people today would use the term. Quite controversial at the time too. A quote from wikipedia:

> Also particularly within the relatively prosperous Quaker communities of the eastern United States, the focus on the child and "holy conversation" gave women unusual community power, although they were largely excluded from the market economy. With the Hicksite–Orthodox split of 1827–1828, Orthodox women found their spiritual role decreased, while Hicksite women retained greater influence.

Correct my if I'm wrong, I know very little about quakers, but that sounds a lot like women were expected to remain barefoot and pregnant.
Definitely this only applies to government (esp law enforcement) requests.

Re: does it just protect US citizens or everyone's emails: dunno. That's a great question. My guess is that it's aimed at US citizens but I imagine agreements like privacy shield may extend those rights to some non citizens. IANAL though and am mostly speculating.

Speaking of "kinds of humour", it is British humour that is special. Russian jokes are very similar to German, both nations share quite similar attitude in jokes.
I'd be interested in your (brief if you have not time) suggestions what kind of novel interfaces you have in mind. I have spent too much time on the command line to have any creative thoughts about radically different interfaces for verification.
What percentage of machines would have it? I doubt it's higher than 1% even for programmers.

I also didn't mention earlier that curl is probablly not a replacement for an http library. There is some overlap in use cases but neither can replace the other.
I mean, what do you want me to say? Yes, judging by what you've said and without knowing the details of your requirements, I think it's most likely you (and your organization) are among the idiots. I've worked in that sector, replacing that kind of code with higher-level code in a "slow" language that somehow managed to run orders of magnitude faster, because when you're in the trees of disassembly and intrinsics it's all too easy to miss the forest of using the wrong algorithm or even making a calculation that just isn't necessary. Even in the cases where you don't make that kind of mistake, you can fix a problem with generated assembly as many times as you like and it will all be worthless compared to fixing the problem in the compiler once and for all.

There is good, valuable work being done in that world, don't get me wrong, and it's entirely possible you're on that side of things - but it's very much the exception rather than the rule IME.

I go back and forth on this. Yours is the most compelling argument for shared libraries (along with the ability for OS writers to break ABI), but there's so much bad behavior out there in the wild that I don't know if the reality fully reflects the ideal.

For example, end users never actually upgrade applications in response to a vulnerability. If they're on a commercial OS, those fixes are pushed to them by the supporting entity (Microsoft or Apple) in the form of OS updates. If they're on an open source OS, their package manager handles things. The number of conscientious, security-aware users is minuscule. In practice, this would just create a little more packaging work for upstream maintainers, negligible to their current responsibilities.

So, from the user's perspective, the only functional difference they'd notice between shared and static apps would be an increase in the insecurity[1] of third-party, closed-source apps. Which are already the largest vector for viruses, adware, etc. for most end users.

In other words, I'm not sure it would be different from the current environment in practice. Exploits would continue to, more often than not, target single apps, not shared libraries. More attack surface, easier pickings.

[1]: There are a few strategies to mitigate this (partially-relocatable compilation, where only a few libraries are dynamically loaded; OS-level services in place of in-memory libraries).
That's also the one reason why I'm very reluctant to throw shared libraries out the window.
> my time was better spent just solving the problem and then moving on to the next problem.

What do you mean with "solving the problem"? A temporary solution for a temporary problem, a definitive solution for a problem that could be forgotten, or something that had to be maintained? In the last case, moving on and leaving others deal with our mess is not professional at all.

> Is it possible that the right place to be lies somewhere in between?

I refer you again to this:

http://hsgca.net/2013/10/21/illustrated-guide-to-gun-control...

The compromise you are asking for has already happened.

> If on one side you have the nra, who lobby against ANY gun regulations, such that only the most control-in-name-only "cosmetic" laws can get passed (then later repealed).

The NRA is not lobbying to repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934. It's not that we're at the top of a slippery slope, it's that we're 3/4ths of the way down it already and you're asking to keep going.

The problem is that there is no coherent compromise here. You can't have millions of guns in the hands of millions of gun owners and at the same time not. It's zero sum.

> And on the other side you have... idk the parents from sandy hook?

The parents from Sandy Hook are the people they put in front of the camera. The money behind the gun control lobby has the same motives as the money behind the other side's pro-life lobby -- it's a hot button issue that drives votes, so if you want a particular party to win and your real reasons are unsympathetic, you can beat the "think of the children" drum to get your party into office.

That is one of the reasons why the compromises are so ineffective -- and why real solutions like addressing the root causes of violence are never even considered. The funders (as opposed to the public faces) are not actually interested in fixing anything, they just want their party to get credit for Doing Something, and then have the problem continue to exist so they can get credit for Doing Something again tomorrow.
Three men meet in a GULag camp, and conversation turns to why they are there.

"I got twelve years hard labour for speaking out against Gennady Karasov", says the first.

"That's funny, I got twelve years hard labour for supporting Gennady Karasov!" says the second. Attention turns to the last man.

"I am Gennady Karasov".

-----

Three men have to share a hotel room in Chelyabinsk during a congress. Naturally, in the evening, they start drinking. One thing leads to another, and they find themselves telling political jokes. Concerns that any of the others may be KGB informants or that the room may be bugged are readily dissolved in alcohol. Everybody is having a great time.

One is tired and really feels like sleeping; he decides to pull a joke on the others. He excuses himself, runs to the lobby and gives the receptionist a few bills. "Please send someone to my room with a bottle of vodka, some rye bread and salt in ten minutes." He then returns to the room.

After a few minutes, he notes to the others that stocks of refreshments are running low. "Not to worry, comrades! I have good contacts."

He leans over towards the potted plant in the corner, grabs it and loudly says, as if speaking into a microphone:

"Comrades at the listening post, this is lieutenant Dyatlov! We urgently require a bottle of vodka, some rye bread and salt to our room! Make haste!"

The others laugh their asses off - until a minute later, there's a knock on the door and vodka, salt and rye bread is served.

You could hear a pin drop. Our man goes to sleep, enjoying the quiet.

When he wakes up in the morning, the others are gone. A note is left on the table. "Comrade! A couple of your jokes yesterday would easily get you to Siberia! (The one about Stalin's maid, while hysterical, could get you in front of a firing squad!!!) However, we liked that room service joke so much, we'll let you off the hook this time. Sincerely, KGB."

Wlodek, a rural farmer, has decided that might be safer not keeping his money under the mattress. So he takes his horse and cart and goes off to the nearest town to talk to the bank.

"Right," says Wlodek, "I want to make sure my 50 zlotys are safe. Like, what happens if someone robs you and takes everything in your vault?"

"Oh, don't worry about that!" says the smooth bank manager. "The main branch in the city would cover you!"

"Okay," says Wlodek. "But suppose the whole bank went bust? I know these things happen."

"Well," says the bank manager. "People have a right to be worried, of course. So that you can feel completely secure, the Polish Central Bank still guarantees your savings."

"But suppose the Polish Central Bank ran out of money?" asks Wlodek. "What would happen then?"

"This is very hypothetical," says the bank manager. "But if it ever happened, we have a treaty with the Soviet Union. They would still make sure you weren't out of pocket."

"But what if the Soviet Union went bust?" asks Wlodek stubbornly.

The bank manager sighs. "Look," he says. "Wouldn't that be worth 50 zlotys?"

"sharing data" is quite illusory. Even if two threads have a reference to the same object, the CPU deals with it internally by making several copies, asynchronous message passing and locking, and in many cases it can lead to abysmal performance. It is often much better for performance to design parallel algorithms around shared-nothing i.e. local mutability + explicit message passing right from the start.
Ben, the problem has been solved. Thank you for help.
That's a nice idea in theory, except I predict it won't happen. Unregulated capitalism is meant to mean (or at least people seem to expect) better service, more choice, better value through competition for your business.

In reality all I've seen is the opposite. The US has bad and/or expensive healthcare, cell service, Internet, TV service to name a few.

The trouble is that the tinkerers learn to cope with the idiosyncrasies of the legacy systems and build their shiny new stuff on top of them. In the end, we get software that solves a relatively simple problem but depends on layers upon layers of other systems and abstractions.

IMO, we need to fundamentally rethink the design of our computing infrastructure so that it suits our current way of using computers. This would start from the CPU microarchitecture and instruction set, through the programming interface of the operating system, up to the middleware used by most programs.
