I would guess that a country with stable institutions, high GDP per capita value, democracy and the highest absolute military spending this issue could be addressed in the ballot box. In the richest democracies on earth fixing these issues is a question of resource allocation. And plenty of organizations are working towards that already.

I wonder how much of the performance issues are related to Android being Java vs iOS being C? The old Blackberry OS was also implemented in Java and I remember well the spinning hourglass and the odd pauses in its UI.
> This is a new piece of hardware

Only "new" in the sense that it is currently not commonly offered, the devices themselves have been available for ages. (If you are a large enough customer you apparently can get at least some colo-facilities to provide you with the roof-access and cabling needed for the antennas). If cloud providers make precise time available I don't see much potential for locking you in with their specific way of providing it, as long as it ends up as precise system time in some way.
I would be. its been years and google and has been building out various pieces of infrastructure around mysql - including cloud spanner.

the issue is that the migration path of self hosted mysql to cloud sql to spanner is pretty well defined. I dont see postgresql being strategically important or relevant to google for anything.

if I was a startup deciding on my database, there's a lot less compelling reasons to choose postgresql from the point of view of long term viability.
hell, I can pretty much do a back of the envelope calculation on how much will it cost me to support 100 million users on mysql.

Is it safe to think that Evernote and Snapchat - startups who are giant success stories - are google mysql hosted? (in some form.. maybe even spanner)

So uber, snapchat, Google, Evernote and a clear cut path for upward scale.

I have very less hope for postgresql on google cloud.
This is what I can show to you.

Octopuses are more common than you might expect

The etymologically correct plural is octopodes. (Some people accuse "octopodes* of being pedantic, but as I see it "pedantic" is just a euphemism for "correct in a way I don't like".)

Hi, OP here! Multilingual support is core and center of our development. We do a lot more than accents, and go great lengths to make all of our stack, Unicode-based. That means ES6 regexes, up to designing and developing our own fonts. If that interests you, then have a look at http://dodecaglotta.com, too, a side project of mine, where I use that font and show how mad we are with language support…

not at the price point that RDS is at. the starting cost of a multi - az deployment is lower. For a startup thats just starting out, it is the best and safest choice. Even heroku, but im not very sure about its reliability versus rds.

Please note what im paying for is availability and reliability.. not for a database per se.

And im not even talking Aurora. That stuff is going to blow every other price point out of the water at probably higher reliability metrics.

This is it; unless crucial apps (or some other necessity) only work with a newer Android version (which could push OEM's to update) they never will. Much better for OEM's to hope that you'll "update Android" through the purchase of a new phone.

Physical or online?
I agree with a lot of your sentiments and am only responding to rubbish your psychopath claims. I don't think you need to worry, in particular if you don't exhibit cruel or violent tendencies. You demonstrate concrete moral reasoning, even if at odds with others, so not sociopathic. "Psychotic" perhaps but your reasoning seems lucid enough. The one reservation I would have is about your "omega man" mentality; that you could be suffering unescessary mental anguish as a result. Also if I were operating an online community I'd be somewhat concerned with your obvert circumvention of moderation checks and balances using throw aways etc. However - I think you're submitting perfectly valid opinions in a respectful way and I share your unease at how there seems to be a groupthink at play shaping the quality of discussion.

There is little beyond syntax that a different language can offer because a modern OS cannot afford features like garbage collection. Indeed, this was one of the research aims of MS's Singularity project.

It might be part and parcel with the American Dream. Believing that society is a meritocracy -- that your success or failure is primarily a function of the effort you put in (plus whatever sui generis "merit" you personally have) is another version of a just world. And if you have a just world, well, surely if you've commanded the attention of the police or ire of the military, you've done something to deserve it, right?

It is indeed best-effort. You can follow along on packaging in https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nginx.html and https://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openssl.html as well as backports' security mailing lists.

Given what I'm seeing on the Nginx build currently in backports, I might rely on backports for dependencies, but I'd seriously consider building your own Nginx from source and/or pay attention yourself to security warnings.
Taken very literally, it seems to contradict itself -- if we're assuming the reports are true, why even investigate?

The authors are responding to a tendency to assume harassment reports are false, and then not investigate.

We can see there is large zone of action between these two ideas. It's probably fair to say: don't dismiss harassment reports, investigate them.

Indeed! Technically, what I need is possible. I appreciate the need to keep support calls to a minimum, especially when they are of the "I thought this would be a good idea but all my data is now shredded" type. However, if there were an option to contact support to have something enabled, or some other way to enable this, that would be really cool.

Not really, for simple apps you can use what we already have in place with some meta-programming rules prepared by humans (currently only a few companies posses this capability though). You can use ML like deep learning variations to learn association between your wishes and corresponding code blocks. Initially apps like that would be simple, i.e. "make a web page", done, "change background color to pink gradient", done, "place gallery of images from my vacation to the center", done, "show me the photos", "remove this one", "make this one smaller", done, "add this title", "add my paintings underneath", "add a buybox next to my paintings", add "checkout to the top" etc. NLP is now there already, but initially you'd need a lot of human "drones" for associating "wishes" with code - doable by companies like Google (they can bake in learning into Android Studio) or by scanning GitHub etc. We already have stupid mobile apps generators, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't have what I described within next 10 years.
This does seem to me to be a little bit of a to easy explanation. Is it really so that this can be tied back to the founding roots of the country, when the setup of the population nowadays can be tied back to so many different influences from different parts of the world?

I never understood the "fetish" of Hollywood for the lone ranger and bullet slinging revenge guy. Or the idea that guns are a valid protection.

Non the less - there are other parts of the world that maybe have the same (or even higher) amounts of guns in private possession without the military and police fetish.

I am even not sure, that this is a valid correlation. Private gun ownership and police/military spending/fetish.
I think parent poster is using the term "friend" in a more liberal sense. I would counter that anyone who you're afraid would berate you for honest feedback can't honestly be considered a "true" friend. In most cases anyway. Even then, some people just have to learn the hard way.

I don't think we really need another locked down OS where the vendor will control everything.

The other issue I have is that I don't see Android apps as efficient way of getting my work done, applications that don't need to worry about the mobile form factor will most of the time offer a superior user experience.

You already have a 99% cross platform way to ship an app, you can create a web app.
On the one hand yes, on the other hand Java also generates Bridge methods when you implement a generic interface. A MyType implementing Comparable<MyType> will contain a compareTo( MyType ) method and a generated compareTo( Comparable ) bridge method.

It is more likely that generated classes, countless getters and setters and a tendency to small methods has a higher impact.

> To fight this, encourage and support private affinity groups for marginalized groups (especially people who identify as women in a way that is significant to them), create formal systems that allow for anonymous or pseudonymous reporting such as an ombudsperson or third-party ethics hotline, support and promote people who are trusted contact points and/or advocates for marginalized groups, and reward people for raising difficult but necessary problems.

FT won't be for you if you want the non-business US stuff. It covers the basics, but they're not breaking US news.
I shared this because I thought the insight provided at that time by Justice Louis Brandeis is pretty impressive in regards to the foresight towards the things to come (internet, NSA etc.)

The one particular passage that is pretty interesting is as follows:

"The progress of science in furnishing the Government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wiretapping. Ways may someday be developed by which the Government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions."

We try to keep our views and business logic reasonably well isolated. You see something in larger REST APIs, where the business logic is wrapped in a service object with is kept separate from everything else.

Recently we had a small "hackathon" event to evaluate GraphQL and Relay. Once the GraphQL server was up and running, getting Relay working with our app was really easy. Unfortunately, the migration path for adopting it heavily didn't seem to be worth it for us.

I literally wrote that you need to publish that under AGPL any extensions, so you didn't really blew my mind there...

It definitely be part of something like Gitlab (or github, bitbucket or AWS CodeCommit), you just have to model your business around the fact that the software is available to everybody. You know, like wordpress (sure, they are GPL so they can have some proprietary components but the practical implication is that you CAN create your own, for pay, wordpress.com service).

Plugins can be a different story. Does the software have a rest interface? then use that, no license virality. If it doesn't, you release them AGPL
Glad to hear there are similar minded folks out there. These days I mostly just shut the fuck up and do what I need to do. Besides, if everyone listened to my advice, I wouldn't have the advantage that comes with the foresight.

Vanilla SPilla in NEw SOng “CONTAGIOUS” JANUARY 2017
I don't think it's meant to supplant interactions as much as it is to respect mental space. My coworkers are very much so about the social interaction and their breaks are sacrosanct. (Stopping Russians when they decide it's time for tea is near impossible). But sometimes people are just deep in thought during their work time and sometimes you just need to have an hour or two of uninterrupted thinking time to get stuff done. This goes doubly so for open shared offices; none of us have so much as dividers much less our own rooms, so learning to respect personal space is really important.

Everyone is still big on the social part - most people all you need to do is ping then when you want coffee or tea and you'll get a message back or have someone at your desk ready to go in a moments notice. Once in awhile though, you get nothing until hours later, which is just a "busy" signal. (no one bothers with statuses since they either forget or no one pays attention anyways).
Daimler to convert engine production to electric at its largest factory
An app really becomes an app instead of a view layer for a CRUD API once you start adding in business logic, permissions, unstable networks, etc. I'd love to see a Redux example app that handles those things as cleanly as it handles simple cases.

Of course, your comment goes ignored, and the "ABI" discussion continues as before :)
Yeah, think you're right there. The exact text is this

> Each 10GB chunk of your database volume is replicated six ways, across three Availability Zones. Amazon Aurora storage is fault-tolerant, transparently handling the loss of up to two copies of data without affecting database write availability and up to three copies without affecting read availability. Amazon Aurora storage is also self-healing. Data blocks and disks are continuously scanned for errors and replaced automatically.

This blurs the lines a bit - the DB engine itself isn't doing the master-master replication, but the underlying storage engine is handling that. Your transactions are effectively running with synchronous replicas as if the system is master-master, but the engine itself is not. So you get the data protection guarantees from a master-master system, but not the availability.

'The standard pluralized form of "octopus" in the English language is "octopuses" although the Ancient Greek plural "octopodes", has also been used historically.'[1].

The book "Octopus: The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate"[2] which I have here says this on the matter: "By the way, the plural of octopus isn't octopi, because the word is Greek -- octopus to be exact -- not Latin. The Greek plural would be octopodes, but we call them octopuses."

You're not being pedantic as it pertains to this word in the English language, you're just wrong.

I'm familiar with the famous IE "bundling" thing that the case revolved around. Microsoft gave away IE for free. How this was supposedly different from Microsoft giving away a long list of other tools, like a text editor, escapes me.

As for me, I started with Netscape (free). I switched to IE (free) because IE crashed less often. I eventually switched to Chrome (free) because IE hung accessing github. Every operating system I have (OSX, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows) comes with a bundled browser. My phone comes with one. My Kindle comes with one. Most of the software I use daily is free.

There was no evidence of monopoly pricing. The very fact that IE was given away was de facto proof they did not have a monopoly. The case never made any sense.

From the site I linked to above (which incidentally is the site [1] you linked to in your post). It includes re-invested dividends and also taxes, which were significantly higher in the late 70's and early 80's compared to what they are now. The page I linked to goes through their methodology.

You make good points about his net worth, but even if I was to concede that, I believe my main point still stands.
