By what process do you think Waymo (or is it Alphabet) would fabricate these logs? Like, who in particular would do it? Would they form a team of a dozen, two dozen people to do all the fabrication across all the systems that would be impacted, without leaving any fingerprints?

And of course none of this planning could be done over email or Google docs, so it all has to be coordinated in person with only handwritten notes. And you've got to make sure a co-operative representative from legal is involved, just so the evidence generated in the logs corresponds to the cover story.

Yeah I can understand that. Honestly, the non profit / coop thing is just a big part of Austin culture.

Not only are food coops a pretty big deal in Austin, but when I lived in Austin even the electricity company that I got my power from was a coop (https://www.pec.coop/) and if the coop made too much money it redistributed the profits back out as credits to member accounts. I generally ended up with one out of twelve months effectively being free because of profit credits being redistributed back out to my account.

The whole culture of coops and nonprofit service organizations is something I really miss about Austin now that I no longer live there.

Absolutely! My premise is that with turing completeness comes more chances for shooting in the foot.

> Im not as upset about the hardfork as many people, though. Social constructs should be changable by politics, not indelible and absolute. That's not what they were selling, but all the same, what they were selling was dystopian nonsense where humans are chained to machines, not their masters. It's a feature not bug of social constructs to be changeable through politics. What matters is the political process to do so.

This is great insight. I think for me, personally, the problem I have is that it seems like there isn't much politics involved at all... a completely centralized and small group made a decision and the great majority of users followed right along (as we would expect them to).

This is not quite how it is (or was anyway) sold to people as a concept.

You> You asserted that a highly concentrated industry is evidence of optimal resource allocation.

Me> If you consider markets to be an optimization strategy for resource allocation ...

Optimization strategy as mathematicians use it means something similar to "optimal resource allocation" as economists use it, but the tools and thought processes are very different. For instance, economists are often not aware of the concept of "local maximums" vs "global maximums"--that in large state spaces, like an economy, there probably is no globally optimal allocation. They're mostly not aware of what "state spaces" are or what logistic regression is. But yes, I think of markets as an optimization algorithm for resource allocation, not dissimilar to gradient descent.

Me> ... an industry being owned by a small number of successful companies represents a signal that a local maximum has been reached. That's assuming there aren't artificial barriers put up to prevent competition

For my specific point of "concentration points to an industry local maximum", "law of diminishing returns" is probably the most applicable concept taught in econ 101, but I'm saying more than that. "Law of diminishing returns in mathematical optimization" is a real thing, I didn't make it up. It applies to many complex systems, an economy being one.

So yeah, I stand behind what I said; I think I understand econ just fine; maybe in the future you can just open with your point instead of being a dick, it saves time.

That zoning map infuriates me. All these residential neighborhoods right along the Muni rail zoned to be single-family houses. I used to take the N-Judah to work downtown every day and the trains were at most half-full. The infrastructure is there, just build something already.
Many (most?) libraries are not built that way. There are plenty of libraries that use async in their exports.

> This will change from college to college and degree to degree

This is most likely very true. But in that case perhaps Computer Science should be split up into two majors with one being more rigorous. In my college the CS major was very rigorous and was even accredited as an engineering program.

> I think most people in the comments could agree that the word "Engineer" implies rigorous certification

I don't agree with this one. For one reason:

Almost all my engineering friends didn't bother getting their PE after getting out of college. Many didn't even get their FE. yet they still do engineering work. I only know one or two who actually did.

At least in the US most medium size companies only have one or two PEs that sign off on projects. But the people without the PEs still use Engineer in the job title. So even within electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering having the word engineering in the job title does not imply any sort of rigorous certification.

One trivial argument might be cost (indeed I consider it as plausible that it is cheaper to just produce one version of the chip).

But I also consider it as plausible that there is something deeper behind: Intel vPro (of which AMT is a part) is also used for ant theft (cf. [1]). Don't ask me about details how this is implemented - at least to my knowledge information about details are not completely trivial to find and Intel is rather secretive about anything that involves security. Now if only some Intel processors implemented Intel ME, Malory ([2]) could perhaps simply replace the processor by a one that does not implement Intel ME to circumvent the Anti Theft Technology (or at least this is something Intel fears). I consider it as rather plausible that something related to this might also be a reason why Intel does not sell processors without Intel ME (but consider this paragraph as speculative).

Adblock Plus has an "Acceptable Ads" program that allows non-animated, non-sound ads to remain on the page. People who think supporting the sites they visit is the right thing to do, can enable acceptable ads while blocking annoying ones.
> ad networks themselves are the problem, not advertising as a whole

I would perhaps say that it's the way that ad networks interact with content sites that's the problem.

With the current "automated just-in-time auction of the eyeballs of the person-we-identified-using-the-site's-metrics, with the site itself just providing the rectangle of space to slot the result into" model, content providers are essentially entirely beholden to whatever the ad network thinks is the best thing to put on their page.

An ad network could instead be a sort of "marketplace" service that lets content providers browse ads from various sources (or get ads suggested to them, using the same algorithm they'd have used originally to force ads on users), and then approve for display the ones they find tasteful/in line with their brand.

That is, after all, the model for running ads in any other medium: the publisher gets to provide ultimate editorial judgement on whether a given ad belongs in their publication.

(Also, in such a model, the content provider would likely be the one hosting the resulting ads, so we'd be able to avoid the whole ads = tracking beacons problem we face today.)

My argument would be that they need to find a way to access info on specific individuals as opposed to grabbing data indiscriminately from the pipes. I don't know if this is possible but it's the job of the IC to come up with a solution compatible with the law and human rights.

My point on warrants wasn't well thought out. You make some good points there.

As for the USA being in the dark I think my points are relevant to most countries so the idea is not to disadvantage anyone but that there is a level playing field that respects everyone's rights. Obviously some countries are going to violate human rights but it shouldn't be highly developed democratic nations just because the right is less glamorous than others.

It's very hard to have a useful debate on this when we don't actually have data showing how useful bulk data collection is. If we were able to say 'x' lives have been saved because of it I might more readily be willing to cede some privacy. I think that number would have to be quite high though as I believe privacy is fundamental to a democratic society and should be treated more seriously than it generally is.
It is supposed to be "mostly" API/ABI stable at the C API level. The C++ API is always (and has always been) completely unstable. One way to address it is to have your own wrapper around LLVM that provide the feature you need, and these wrapper can retarget multiple versions of LLVM at will.

Here is what I'd do if I were you. You should look at how much your current premium would cost if you were to switch to COBRA (when you leave your job, your current employer is required by law to maintain your health coverage for up to 18 months). Though, you would have to pay the full premium because your employer would not participate anymore. Right now it's all accounted in your paychecks and it's invisible to you.

So ask your HR how much it would cost per month to maintain your current coverage under COBRA. If you can handle the payment, then I'd suggest to do that for a few months and to not worry too much. You'd maintain your current doctors, insurance card, coverage, etc. Settle down in your new position, look at your monthly spendings, do some research, then eventually switch to a cheaper coverage.

I am not saying stackful coroutines are bad, I'am using Go on daily basis, I've used libmill stackfull coroutines in C etc. They have their usage cases in which they will be better than stackless coroutines, there are tradeoffs in both designs of coroutines. Stackless coroutines for my use case they are ideal (async IO) and can be easily optimized. I don't agree with what you wrote about using coroutines (and similar concepts) for async completion is niche. In most code bases I saw coroutines/tasks/gorutines etc are used mainly for async IO.
Storing and comparing UTC is the minimum for sure but you often need to store local time and zone as entered and sometimes you do need to change what that is in UTC after the fact. I worked on a internationally-focused scheduling application with clients in multiple timezones doing recurring events in future.

Firstly, the Grauniad is hardly an unbiased source these days, sadly. Secondly excuse me if I'm sceptical about the predictions of economists. Thirdly, your second source trots out a tired myth of remainers - that leaving the EU means we will not be able to fill low skilled work. It means nothing of the sort - it just means that we can choose what low skilled workers we let in, and if we want to continue to offer EU citizens seasonal work in the agricultural sector, nothing about Brexit prevents that. Fourth, your third source contains only predictions about the return of Polish citizens. Finally, your fourth source reflects a mixed picture - headlined 'Net migration to UK falls sharply after Brexit vote', we then find the following comments later on:

'Home Office figures show that the number of EU nationals in Britain who had their applications processed for UK residence documents to secure their individual status more than doubled from 92,289 in 2015 to 201,287 in 2016. More than 140,000 were successful.'

'Work continues to prove the main driver for near-record levels of immigration, particularly from within the EU, whose citizens accounted for 180,000 of the 294,000 who came to Britain to work in the year to September'

..so overall, far from a conclusive rebuttal of my points.

> For me, MUMPS is also related to some aspects of Erlang.

Superficially, yes. They're both old and they both have ways of hooking machines together at a distance built right into the fabric of the language.

But that's where all analogies end. A MUMPS program tends to be an unreadable mess to anybody who hasn't touched it in the last 30 seconds, whereas Erlang is really quite readable (though there are many people bitching at the syntax, this usually means they haven't spent any time with the language). Erlang projects tend to exhibit extreme levels of reliability and fault tolerance (and fault resistance) whereas MUMPS installations tend to be houses of cards that come crashing down with the first breath of wind.

You could not - outside of superficial similarities - find two architectures so diametrically opposed as MUMPS and Erlang.

I am calling your view of 'code is law' as a distorted view because it isn't that the other side doesn't think that code is law, it's just what do we consider 'the law' to be.

In my world view, if you and I wrote a contract, and in the contract, there is a typo which says that I will pay you $5 gazillion for an iPhone, then that doesn't mean that the courts must enforce it. Clearly, it doesn't follow the 'intent' of the parties.

Now, what if the other side truly signed the contract because they thought that their iPhone was being bought for 5 gazillion dollars, well this is why we don't "JUST" communicate via the contract. We communicate and perform negotiations via other human channels and the legal contract is a formalized expression of our communication.

Same thing goes with smart contracts. I don't intend to use Smart Contracts because the missing 11th commandment said: "Thou shalt obey the Legal/Smart Contracts to the word". I want to use Smart Contracts because they would be an extension of legal contracts taken to the decentralized + technology domain.

Literally, nobody put their money in the DAO because they thought that if a person puts in $1000 in the DAO then he should be able to take out $10 million if he is clever enough. It wasn't a bounty contract. If that was known beforehand, then there is no way it would have accrued $150 million worth of ethers.

> My view is basically the person who found a flaw in TheDAO code deserved to be rewarded for it, even if it was not the intent of TheDAO, because I was sold (perhaps improperly) on the code being the arbiter, not people or politics.

Lemme put it this way, had the hard fork not happened, but nearly 90% of the Ethereum holders quit Ethereum after that, (which meant that the hacker's bounty would have been decimated, would you still say that Ethereum is never going to succeed because they didn't honor the hacker's bounty?
And 99.9% of humans are not programmers.
But without relocatable stacks you're incurring a large, fixed cost per coroutine.

Of course, with stackful coroutines you'll have a lot less coroutine objects. But the real issue is that you have to decide ahead of time how large you want to make the stack. Too large and you waste memory, too small and you'll blow the stack. In the context of individual projects the programmer can usually make the call without much trouble. But removing that kind of burden from the programmer is usually the primary reason you add such abstractions to the language standard. And it's why the typical execution stack is so huge (1+ megabytes) on most non-embedded systems (and even many embedded, network-facing systems).
