" So much of modern Japanese life has been molded by the American occupation."

Very true. But it's also fundamentally different than if the American influence were to have come from 10 or 20 million actual Americans living in Japan.

"Have they not accepted American culture?"

America does not have a culture in the classical sense of the term, or to be more fair - it's a new kind of culture.

Ergo - there is a 'lot less to accept'.

In America, you can 'do as you please' so long as you're not out go hurt anyone.

In Japan, there are a myriad of rules, spoken and unspoken, that one must adhere to.

It's easy for immigrants to 'get along' in the New World.

It'd be exceedingly hard to do so in places with more established classical culture.

This can be seen in Europe: they are very much intellectually and political open to newcomers, and yet have a really, really hard time integrating them.

There are dangerous, 'no go' zones in Sweden.

There are zero 'no go' or dangerous places here in Canada (or at least not based on migrant residence), where we have a lot more immigrants than Sweden.

In Canada we don't have our own language, customs, no cuisine, few social expectations other than fairly secular ones: go to school, get a job, be good, pay your taxes.
One could also argue that the rate of cultural change by immigrants is lessened by the need for those immigrants to operate within the system, and by their relative lack of influence on the culture as a whole.

You're probably going to have a hard time finding a job in Japan that isn't "English Teacher" if you can't speak Japanese effectively - which is an example of the parent culture exacting a price in the form of partial assimilation for the opportunity of cultural exchange.

Plus, most immigrants to Japan are probably going to be from China, Korea or other Asian countries, simply because of proximity. Immigration doesn't necessarily have to mean millions of Westerners.
Maybe he just found it convenient cover to jump off a sinking ship.

Maybe there are way larger skeletons in his closet. It's unlikely we'll ever know for sure in this instance but I think the general trajectory of Uber has fundamentally shifted in the last month.
Try using Intel ME. Than come back and tell us that's a tool for mass surveillance.

If you think there's a evil NSA front for this type of stuff -- its Absolute Software. Their bits have been embedded in most BIOS packages since the 90s, and nobody has heard of them.
It seems to me that saying "we did this so we can violate the law without getting caught" is already an extremely bad legal strategy. If their statement was aimed at limiting their legal exposure it wouldn't have included that part at all. If it was aimed at showing that they're morally in the right, they would have said that the laws were bad. I can't see anything that justifies what they said, aside from thinking everyone sees the law the same way they do so it goes without saying.

It's not simply the financial implications; the visa-process for B1/B2 entails handing over a ton of paperwork (e.g. student records, health records, employment records, etc.) which go into your file, and further, all your 10 fingerprints. The VWP doesn't entail all of that extra stuff. One could argue that the $160-$14 saving is but the simple part, the bigger issue is the loss of privacy that comes with the application of a visa.
Yes, you're right; European politics has fallen victim to ridiculous notions of ancestral guilt. Is it any wonder that people who had no involvement in something that happened hundreds of years ago are unhappy that they're being punished for it?

> European unity is about more than free trade.

You're right again, which is why it's insane to drive a wedge between Europeans with politically and socially untenable forced immigration.

So far, at least in the West, it's mostly private companies that form the "surveillance state" and that use collected data to fuck with people.
> or they rented (in which case the landlord is to blame, because his costs didn't change)

Maybe, given the example of the Bay Area's housing crisis, tech companies should have the moral responsibility in spending part of their lobbying budget to at least try to change local zoning laws. If not for the benefit of the preexisting residents whose lives have been affected by their presence, at least for their own employees who struggle to find affordable housing.
Yeah, I'm not advocating for building our own SoC, as just taping out a chip is tens of millions, instead I'm advocating for using inexpensive Arm64 chips that already are a known quantity (firmware free, mainlined drivers) to build a fast & secure network, and scale from there.

Didn't Plan 9 eventually get some mechanisms to facilitate interactions between such local-only networks around the world? 9grid and such.

In any case, Plan 9 is still ahead on quite a few fronts, with federated authentication that is simple(-ish) and works, a versioned filesystem by default, a unified namespace (the new interpretation of "filesystem") to access any resource you might want to use (instead of, today: DNS + TCP ports + HTTP URL's), and security by only exposing the necessary resources to processes, instead of exposing everything and then making up contrived access restriction schemes on top. (Smells of capabilities by Pike's own admission, I believe). That last part was mostly thanks to namespaces which Linux has picked up and popularised in a simple form with Docker... after 20+ years.

The important bits of the new architecture were also about the parts that were left out. No disk usage utility, based on the rapidly decreasing price of a giga bytes. Go and try to make contemporary sysadmins, who still partition their drives to this day, accept this highly distruptive simplification. Gotta create ourselves our busywork!

In the end, Plan 9 was made by /educated/ people with /resources/, and much of today's software isn't. No surprise it's better made.

(edit: some structure added to my rambling.)
Trait specialization is Rust's answer to several of the abstractions provided in most OOP languages and the initial implementation (with conservative type resolution) has been in nightly for a while. I believe there is still a bit of work to do before stabilization but the feature is under active development. One of the primary challenges is the soundness and predictability of the algorithm that selects the right implementation for each type.

With specialization, instead of inheriting classes, traits can provide blanket and default implementations for types that depend on the traits implemented by that type. So, for example, you can provide several different "impl<T> ExTrait for T" with different trait bounds like "T: Clone", "T: Clone + Send", and "T: Clone + Send + Future<...>". Once the conservative inference algorithm is improved, this will be a much more powerful way to compose functionality than OOP but it will require a different approach to abstraction.

I think the plan is to eventually add trait objects that implement multiple traits which will cover more complex cases of dynamic dispatch like those in virtual inheritance.
I witnessed male worker fired on the spot for wearing jeans to work instead of slacks (general motors). I was also once given a warning when my belt and shoes did not match (black and brown).

I went to a business college, and we were taught to dress professionally, I think we spent a full day on the topic in "business communications" course. We most definitely discussed that cleavage should not be shown and dress length should be appropriate. I worked in this college as a tutor, and we also required button-up shirts, tucked in, with a belt, and dress shoes, even though we made minimum wage. "Dress for respect"
If they continue to evade law enforcement and ignore the laws that taxi companies follow they will have an unfair advantage over taxi companies. Taxi companies have and will continue to go out of business. If you follow this reasoning to its logical extreme you have an Uber monopoly.

It certainly doesn't have to be a physical threat. People respond extremely negatively historically to forces that alter the culture they are used to or prefer.

If you take 30 million people from African Muslim majority nations and drop them into France in the next few decades, would the French culture remain unchanged? No, it would change dramatically. The people of France would react as you'd expect to the notion of that cultural change. The people of France - in my opinion - largely believe their culture works, that it is very valuable, that it is beneficial to their quality of life. Why would they want to see it change substantially? There will be something like a billion plus more people living in Africa and the Middle East in just the next 25 or 30 years, while the population of Europe contracts. Europeans have one of two choices to make in that time: heavily lock down immigration, or allow vast cultural change (and I'm sure it'll vary widely from nation to nation what occurs).

If multithread is a possibility for the future of javascript why not make promises and async multithread and keep the same syntax we are using now...
What is there to gain with workers ? It seems to me like an unnecessary addition ... but I am interested in the point of view of specialists on the matter. I may be wrong, but promises and async are for me a great formalism upon which one could build a future version of js that is multithreaded.
...as though the Fed is chartered entirely for public benefit? The structure of the 12 Fed district banks are very similar to private corporations. The whole system is run for the benefit of the US Treasury and (secondarily) the private member banks that hold stock in the district banks. It's there to keep the system solvent and stable. And it may be required to remit all profits to the treasury, but the Fed is not there to protect the general public, and if Hollywood has taught us anything, it is that the meaning of "profit" can be blurred with clever accounting.

I would only be fine with cashless if the power inherent in the system were diffused, such that no single entity could exercise significant control over it, and if it were supported by laws, such that attempting a 51% attack (perhaps by merger or secret collusion) would get those responsible thrown in PMitA prison for their dire felonies.

You let the Fed control it, and they'll just use it to print money, much like they do now with paper money and bank deposits. For some, that may be a beneficial feature, but I think the power to control the size of the money supply is simply too dangerous for any one group to wield it unchecked. And I think the Fed's ongoing policy of targeting a positive rate of inflation has harmed the whole US-dollar economy to a greater extent than the problems that are hypothesized to have been avoided by it.

You put one nexus of control on the whole money supply, and that's where all the crooks will go to get their scores. Bitcoin had the right idea in trying to solve the Byzantine Generals problem, because I don't trust any big financial institution to handle money alone, but I do trust them all to distrust one another enough to gang up against anyone that tries to pull off a coup.
You mean hacker news' shadow ban?
Cool. Will check.

BTW this is the font I had seen and liked - the one in the body text at this site:

Squarish in shape, and for some reason, to me, it makes the text appear good. Like I said, don't know typography, so don't know if there is any specific reason why it looks good to me, or is it all purely subjective.

Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement speech comes to mind, BTW. He talks about typography in it.

Dell let me buy a US keyboard in Germany.
Of course. An integer that represents a number of some subdivision of your nominal "one" unit is a fixed-point decimal number type. They're two names for the same thing.

And an array of single precision floats is a zero-terminated UTF-8 encoded string. Using an actual fixed point decimal number type is still preferable over going straight to the underlying integer, even if it is only for the easier to read source code with decimal points where they belong instead of having to perform the transformation in your head while reading.

But the other commenter was discussing arbitrary precision arithmetic libraries, not fixed-point decimals.

Fair point.

Burg's comments put Schultz's ability to support pro-Israeli policies at risk; if he's known to be an ardent supporter of Israel for ideological reasons (to the exclusion of concern for Germany), people will be more critical of his motivations when it comes time to e.g. send military aid to Israel.

Calling out your supporters, when being a supporter is politically contested, isn't a good idea. If Burg was lying, he'd be better off saying that Schulz doesn't give a shit about Israel.
> there is no suggestions for how to secure and harden devices without refining these trusted computing techniques. We need to harden these devices.

Because the thing you are asking for is not possible. You have a bad premise:

> And I just don't understand how anyone can maintain that farce when the last year has shown that it's a genuine challenge even for the US FBI to unlock a mobile device without the owners say-so and it's getting harder all the time.

Which has two flaws. First, it wasn't a challenge for them, they were just using it as an excuse to whine about the second one that actually is. And second, the only real security is math (encryption), but it doesn't require any special support from the hardware.

If you have full disk encryption with a strong passphrase and the device is currently locked (i.e. the key is not in memory), the only way to get that data is to have the passphrase or break the encryption, and breaking the encryption is not expected to be possible.

The problem is, if someone has physical access to your device and can compromise your firmware, they can record your passphrase the next time you unlock the device, and then they don't need to break the encryption.

But this is not a thing you can do anything about. If someone has physical access to your device they can just steal it and leave you with one that looks the same up to the point of you entering your passphrase and then transmits it to the attacker. Nothing about the original device can fix that because it isn't the original device.

Similarly they can install a surveillance device in your room that can record you entering your passphrase and then come back tomorrow to take your device.

The only answer to these attacks is physical security. Secure boot does nothing.

This is a dark pattern. Why would you want the default to be a compiler that essentially spies on your code? I can think of no better way to make developers (not to mention businesses!) uncomfortable with the idea of adopting Rust.

Thankfully, Mozilla is one of the few entities left in the technology industry that seems to care about ethics. I don't believe the Rust team would ever do something like this.
Don't be too sure! Check out this amazing survey article on "Crime-facilitating speech" by Eugene Volokh: http://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/facilitating.pdf

Not only will you find examples of things like courts finding liability if "a newspaper publishes the name of a witness to a crime, thus making it
easier for the criminal to intimidate or kill the witness" (with no intent on the part of the newspaper) [18] or "a Web site or a newspaper article names a Web site that contains
copyright-infringing material, or describes it in enough detail that readers could quickly find it using a search engine" [26], there are also examples more directly relevant to this situation. I think references [19, 37, 38, 39, 40] are most relevant.

[19]: "publish[ing] . . .the residence address or telephone number" of various law enforcement employees "with the intent to obstruct justice" is illegal in many states, including California.

[37] My reading of United States v. Lane, 514 F.2d 22 (9th Cir. 1975) is that advising people not to sell drugs to a person because you heard something interesting on a police scanner is aiding and abetting a conspiracy. The court said the defendant "could not seriously contend that he was discouraging, rather than aiding and abetting, the commission of the crime" in response to his assertion that "he actually advised against it".

[38]: My reading of United States v. Bucher, 375 F.3d 929 (9th Cir. 2004) is that it is walking down a trail to warn a person whom park rangers intend to arrest is interfering with both the rangers and their official duties (and thus illegal).

So you support having BRÅ redo their stats on crimes per origin in light of the new immigration since 2005?

For any non-swedes who may be interested enough to follow this: BRÅ is the "Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention". The are tasked with doing research on crime and how to prevent it.

Meanwhile, this particular authorithy actually published new stats recently. For example:

Over the past three years 1.7% of the population of Sweden reported they were subject to sexual crimes. During the period 2005-2012 this number was relatively stable at around 1%. So we are talking about a 70% increase in just a few years.

The most obvious thing that changed during these three years? Massive, historically unsurpassed immigration levels from Africa/The Middle-East.

The implied bound one reminded me of a very similar thing in haskell https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/NoDatatypeContexts . Basically

data Hashable a => Set a = ...

is completely useless. It only forces you to add constraints to functions that, if necessary, would be required anyway.

Not to be confused with existential quantification

data ExistentialSet a = forall a . Hashable a => ...

which carries a reference to the hash function in the instances, similar to trait objects in rust.
Apple for instance only lets businesses oder laptops with US keyboards in Germany

Ah so you mean call other js processes through async/yield type stuff. I think that is cognitively easier than introducing new concepts like this has with a familiar way to do things. I agree with you. There would have to be some other syntax like "thread" to note it is not in the main thread but acted just like async or something.

var somevalue = async doSomething();

var someExpensiveVAlue = thread doExpensiveThing();

var lotsOfExpensiveThings = Thread.all(threads);
I suspect that the counterpart in the Lyft app is not actually faked. I've often had a driver accept a ride and appear on the map almost exactly where a car had been previously in the "animated cars" UI.
