Nice, you take a word I introduced to the conversation, explicitly redefined it in a way I wasn't using it, and then proceed to demand I prove your new definition. Why should I bother, if you're just going to change the way I was using a word and then tell me I'm sheeple?

And since you like statistics so much, population growth, a foundational element in economic growth, also stagnated in Sweden starting in the '80s. If the population stagnates, then of course you expect growth to stagnate. So not only are you missing the point and creating a strawman, you're also being hypocritical about your own patronising demands on 'looking at the data'. Likewise this crazy expectation that human lifespans just linearly expand with improved circumstances - but what would you expect when you're citing data from a source whose raison d'etre is specifically promoting the free market? Hardly a neutral source.

But I will leave you with this: economic growth isn't everything. That's the point of quality-of-life measures. People have a high quality of life in Sweden. Whereas China has recently had a rapidly-growing economy, and life sucks there. People escape it when they can. The gradient of the growth chart doesn't tell you much about freedom of expression or the happiness of citizens.
Perfecting Lambda Architecture with Oracle Data Integrator (and Kafka)
Lobbying is a good thing and as Indian citizen I wish it was legal in India. It helps small groups unite and openly and transparently seek legislative changes they want. In India you bribe secretly. The party wants all funds channeled to party supremo so they changes laws to make sure Individual legislators can not pass any bills of their own against party wishes. So that wont happen in India. We will always have to pay bribes secretly.

>Plus, you are in a country where you can go to war to satisfy your friends benefit.

India does not have financial muscle to start a war but Indian government starts projects to help friends all the time.

> You are in a country bailing the banks that ruined themself.

Almost all major Indian banks are owned by state heavily mismanaged and completely inefficient. They run as jobs program and are every year bailed out using taxpayer money.

>You are in a country where it's legal to snatch somebody without a trial. Where you can get in secret prisons and be tortured. All that justified by events that killed less people than the flu.

Indian government can put you in jail for years without trial. Even for a high profile celebrity case takes on an average 10 years to conclude.

>Where massive surveillance is allowed by politicians for security, yet they ban all attempt of transparency on their own actions.

There is no privacy in India. If the cop asks you to undress you better do.
You simply need to listen to more Chomsky. That debate may not have had enough details - such is the nature of the format of the debate - but if one investigates Chomsky further, it is clear that the man lived his life in the details. His position, I believe, is formulated precisely on understanding the details and facts of the situation - it has been his life work to uncover the truth.

The persons in favor of Vulkan in this thread don't have to prove their point, you have. Their solution works, is battle tested, is cross platform and almost an industry standard.

Unless you backup the Apple proposal with serious evidences such as :

- hard metrics on performance benefits, why you need them, and why you can't improve vulkan to get them;

- demonstration of blatant issues with the vulkan API and very good solution you can implement and why you can't improve vulkan to get them;

- strong evaluation of the benefits your solution provide given the cost it would have compared to adopting vulkan.

Then you have no credibility.

"Let's fix something that works" is rarely welcomed in programming. Coming from a company that is well known for disrespecting the rest of the world by creating their own island of closed standards and help noone pass the border, it's even worst.

Cause and effect. 60 years is not a long time.
As an Indian, there are two things I take for granted:

1. Politicians, by default, are corrupt. They are also not to be trifled with - if I accidentally bump into a small-time politician's car at a signal, I'm hightailing it out of there lest I get beaten up.

2. If I get into trouble (especially with a politician or a well-connected person), the last person I'll turn to for help are the cops.
Whenever I ask questions about people's attitude towards privacy they also end up with, I have nothing to hide, and all counter examples are vague and not directly applicable. I'm working on turning the privacy talk around, to frame it around the loss of freedom, Freedom from criminals, Freedom of relationship, Freedom of self expression, Freedom from profiling. We can then explore which freedoms are relevant to the individual and which are not.

Freedom from criminals: Computer systems are not secure. The more we share online the bigger the danger when the data is leaked. A very real concern that is often overlooked is that governments and companies are incapable of keeping our data secure. By collecting addresses, medical data, bank information we are all exposing ourselves to risks of having our identity, money and medical information stolen or to be held for ransom.

Freedom of relationship: Private conversations can be made public, your opinions and interests can be made public without your intention. For example facebook changing their privacy settings suddenly makes your private links shared, or private matters suddenly appear where you don't intend them to be. Like product adverts showing up at work, sharing our private purchases with colleagues.

Freedom of self expression: We loose control of when content goes public. Suddenly our ideas and works can be shared without our consent or credit even without our knowledge. An art sharing site suddenly uses our work in private folders for advertisements because they now have access to them. When uploading on line we lose control of our data and if they are taken there is little recourse.

Freedom from profiling: Decisions are made about you without your direct input affecting the news you see, the products you are advertised, and the prices you are offered. Governments have started placing us on lists along with real criminals based on where we have been, who we have met, and what we have seen. We have no control of the profile that is made on us and we have no access to it.

We, those worried about privacy, can see the overlaps between the loss of freedoms, but by presenting them in these forms it makes for conversations that continue beyond I have nothing to hide. Depending on who I am talking to I can question into which freedom they are comfortable losing and which they are not.

Personally living in a 1st world country with an stable and amicable democratic government my greatest concerns are freedom from criminals and freedom of self expression.

Oh this is not a contest of India vs US. Corruption in India is terrible. I'm just saying the US has no advice to give in the matter.
> Yes, I would prefer a US hegemony over an ISIS hegemony. The comparison itself is ridiculous.

Of course the comparison is ridiculous. That's my whole point.

But this is the comparison the grandparent I'm replying to is making. I.e. that the U.S. bombs some countries while being concerned about civilian casualties, and terrorists respond with something like the 9/11 attacks where they're explicitly trying to inflict civilian casualties, and somehow this should make it less clear who the good & evil actors are, as opposed to more clear.

> But saying that the US has not used its military strength for its own benefit and at the expense of the people of other countries is ridiculous.

I'm struggling to see how you can read my comment and conclude that I'm trying to make that point, but needless to say, you're fighting a strawman.
You are severely exaggerating the US and severely underreporting the state of lawlessness in India.

You can get shot for simply brushing some up jumped real estate dealer's car in the capital city - a friend's colleague had to learn the hard way.

This is a common misconception of Americans and is blatantly untrue. America is absolutely not the only free country in the world and, in some areas, it is less free.

Take press freedom, for instance: the US currently ranks 41st:

There are plenty of other fully democratic countries in the world, where freedom of speech is accepted, encouraged, and enshrined in well-respected laws.

intellectual discussion doesn't really come into it. Brand activism just seems to encourage taking black-and-white stances on every issue, a problem that seems endemic to current politics. Very few issues are as clear-cut as they are presented by activists on either side.

I correspond with someone from India that is heavily into marketing this stuff (he does legitimate things as well, and is one of the most knowledgable paid Facebook advertising specialists on earth, which is how I came to know him). He has been pushing it for years and the Indian government has never come close to bothering either him or the people that actually own the services that pay him for each phone call his advertising generates.

It's not just the Indian government that is lackadaisical about this either. He is able to run ads for tech these support scams through Facebook and get ROI above 500%. Facebook eventually stops his ads, then he buys another ad account. In fact, he claims a single aged Facebook account is worth roughly $10,000 to him (aged accounts have an easier time getting ads through). He spends well into the six figures each year on these types of ads through Facebook alone. Ad platforms share some of the blame for the proliferation of these scams because they simply do not police their platforms well - the tactics he uses to get these ads through their review process are truly elementary but are good enough to foil a company full of PhD's. Clearly they aren't trying very hard.
Nice to see this area is still evolving, my PhD was in SiC-related tech, specifically how would you power a device embedded in a hostile environment so I was researching SiC-based photovoltaics, temperature response of piezoelectrics, high-temperature DC-DC converters and a very light touch effort on high-temperature storage.

As soon as you start heating electronics up to these sorts of temperatures the things we already take for granted become problematic. As highlighted already, solder joints become a huge pain, wire bonds pop off, even just building the test rigs to test these devices is usually a pretty interesting problem - I built a high-temperature photovoltaic characterization rig and a high-temperature vibration rig, which was involved enough but the true monster was the gas-sensor characterisation lab which had evolved over many years that could do gas, high pressure and temperature up to 700 degC (I think).

All good fun, if someone is looking at a PhD in electronics I would recommend this area if even vaguely interested as it's a good mix of practical and theory and when you can't even bank on your solder joints holding, let alone a dielectric surviving then it makes for some interesting problems away from the pure electronics.

You're right. And Vulkan is based on Mantle which was already available in 2013 (in drivers; with api docs available in 2015 for some reason[1]). Why Kronos/Valve/etc didn't use Metal as a starting point, I don't know.

To hate the US, thus sustaining the never-ending cycle of 'terrorists' > war > profit that keeps the US military industrial complex ticking along.
In many countries there is some element of private healthcare, but it only provides luxurious services that are in no way needed to treat health conditions (1-bed rooms in hospitals, choosing any doctor you like, shorter wait times for non-urgent treatments). Good examples here are UK and Germany. In both countries you'll get full coverage of any medical condition with public insurance.

The reason that private elements exist at all are NOT because they are more cost efficient. They exist just because some people like to have more comfort and are willing to pay for it. Not sharing a room in a hospital doesn't make you healthier (and is certainly not more efficient), it's just nicer.

I'd agree with your parent-comment that most states have actually figured out that public health care is the most efficient option. Private health-care providing necessary treatments is the more expensive option for society.

"Kennedy in particular has a terrible record when it came to the imminent nuclear destruction of the world"

To be fair to Kennedy - I think he pretty much prevented a war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. A weaker president might have gone with the recommendations to invade Cuba and that would probably have turned out rather badly for all concerned (particularly the Cubans and Soviets).
The US isn't concerned with civilian casualties. Of course, it wouldn't go out of its way to inflict them, but it simply pays no regard to them, no matter what their scale. Look at US actions in Laos, Cambodia, and Libya for direct instances of this, where hundreds of thousands of people were killed because of US actions.
Would there be legal issues (apart from political will) with forming a publicly owned health insurance company for the general public in the US, rather than a subset like Medicare etc?

It seems that if you just form a large enough public insurer it could soon start undercutting the prices of the private insures.

This will be my last post in this subthread because I think most of my points have now been made several times...

> New people are getting involved in OS development in rust, for instance.

Tiny market. Expanding it to be slightly less tiny doesn't make it non-tiny. More importantly, positioning Rust as an operating systems programming language will not get people to use it for more general application programming.

> The same thing may happen with databases and rust.

Also a tiny market. Also, not sure how wrestling with the Rust compiler will advance database theory or practice. Even more importantly, the implication (in the context of the thread) that it's impossible to write a database system in a GC language is false. To optimize the implementation, you may probably want to avoid GC in the innermost hot parts. That would be possible with the hypothetical Rust-with-optional-GC I mentioned above.

> And you didn't address my example, which was all of those "-devel" packages you need to install to get all of those libraries that so much software depends on: libssl, libjpeg, etc.

I don't know what exactly you mean by that since you even need those packages for C programming, and you need them (or something equivalent to the headers they provide) for Rust, but yes, language interoperability is hard, and yes, some language runtimes make it harder than it should ideally be.

> And this has what ill effect?

Many people will read stuff about OS kernels and database systems and vaguely elitist but never concretized ramblings about "systems programming", coupled with "OMG, everything must always be super-fast at the expense of programmer productivity" and decide that they are not in this market. And then they will keep using Python. Or, just to rub it in, Go for "systems programming" like NTPsec. <shrug> I never said that that's a bad thing; I just said that this will not drive more general Rust adoption.
The Rust community has very active official forums that probably get more Rust questions than SO.

Alas, I don't think Rust's safety properties can guarantee you don't have stack overflows ;)
> I understand your desire to have Vulkan on Apple platforms, but

There are no 'but's. Just support it and we can have simpler APIs on top of it.
>You'd prefer people being thrown in prison for refusing to surrender their private property rights

Yes, I'd prefer people be thrown in prison for refusing to feed the starving, rather than people starving to death.

I think property rights are valuable in-as-far as they improve overall utility, but insisting on enforcing them to the point where it could cause people serious harm is clearly beyond that point.

We can argue about the extents of property rights, but suggesting there be no limits is arguing for legalised economic murder.

PEP 512 – Migrating from hg.python.org to GitHub
The problem is that all these bombings would actually help expand ISIS as civilians lose their dear ones/homes/livelihood due to allied bombing. Between 2014 to 2017, estimated drop in numbers of ISIS fighters was 6000 - that's about 20% drop [1]. Assuming all of them were killed, that's about 2000/year i.e. almost exactly number of airstrikes. So either it is taking one air strike to kill one terrorist or ISIS gets refueled pretty fast from disgruntled civilian population.
