You missed my point and twisted my words.

I never said the accomplishments are equal; just that they were both accomplishments that required money and resources for the people to succeed.

Just because something requires money to accomplish doesn't mean it's not an achievement. You don't spend money and ride an elevator to the top of Everest as you and others try to suggest.

It's a challenge and an accomplishment any way you slice it.
It's impossible for them to treat competitors' ads different from their own. That chrome update wouldn't have time to download before they got dragged to court by every ad network, the European Union, and the Department of Justice.
Facebook has wider reach than AOL. Maybe walled garden builders are getting better at their tricks ?
I agree that inheritance is not preferred, but this post picks are weird target for its attack:
1. It's oddly specific to particulars on how python implements inheritance
2. It misses the main point that inheritance is bad because it obfuscates the program's intention in both implementation and invocation
"Yes he does. And so do countless of other people. For example, I just gave a talk where I describe an afternoon optimization session giving me a 1000x and and 8000x improvement for a data-conversion and a query task, respectively.
"

Please be concrete about what exact data you think he does and countless others have.

"Was the compiler helpful? Probably, I didn't measure with and without. But the vast majority of the improvement was not the compiler. And I don't see how the compiler could have come up with the changes (moving from a layered architecture of Model Objects -> ORM -> SQLite to a hexagonal architecture with an optimized data representation and completely different access procedure for the one data type that mattered)."

First, you've actually said "i have no idea if the compiler would have fixed this, because i didn't run it". That means what you have is not actually data. It's an assumption. If you want to prove it out, that's data. You actually have to do the science if you want to say you've done the science.

Second, Compilers do actually come up with such optimized data representations, memory layouts, loop walking, you name it (see, for example, https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01425546)

Had you written it in a language that allowed for semantic changes of the kind you are talking about, we could make an optimizing compiler do it.

15 years ago I saw a compiler that did automatic splitting and distribution of COM objects to split up a game to run half on a server and half on a client.

We can do this stuff. You'd just have to use something other than C/C++.

Which is why more and more people are moving towards those kinds of languages ever day, and why more and more invasive "extensions" to C/C++ get made every day.

Your particular example used to be the domain of dataflow, ETL, and stream compilers, all of which, yes, could reorganize your entire hierarchy to be better if you let them.

As mentioned, this isn't about the capabilities of optimizing compilers, but about "what tradeoffs am i making in choosing my tools and languages".

I don't think it's reasonable to, for example, program in qbasic and then say "optimizing compilers suck at reorganizing my data layout". Well, yeah.

"On the other hand, the performance critical parts have gotten more critical. That means that the "make everything a bit faster, but without any guarantees" that optimizing compilers are great at providing is simply not that useful any more for a lot of workloads."

Again, you strongly are lacking in actual data.
It has stopped being funny now.
The Gogs codebase is pretty good, although it has many uses of package globals, which doesn't sit well with me. I mostly like what's in there: https://github.com/gogits/gogs

The USA will certainly have a seat at the table, just not at the head of the table.

This loss of influence isn't going to be readily apparent, it's precipitation will be subtle and over the long term. It may start as a preference for German or Chinese military equipment, then slowly it preference will begin to shift in areas of finance, agricultural products, energy, etc.

If the USA is no longer able to negotiate favorable trade deals, because of their mercurial nature, then we'll probably see corporations move to foreign countries of influence.

Having lived in Iran, the program is not a UBI, but a "replacement" for the petroleum and energy subsidies that were provided to all.
So, instead of the government paying for your gas - which subsidies consumption - the idea is to pay a fixed subsidy primarily to benefit the very poor.
This income has a large benefit for the very poor parts of society, but they still have to work to make ends meet. If this amount of money makes a difference to you, you probably have no disposable income.
This is more akin to a tax reform than a UBI program, though.
At what point is your definition of "discomfort" another person's definition of "poverty?" Discomfort today is poverty tomorrow, especially if the standard of living keeps going up.
Do you think the US would ever accept being held accountable by the international community on anything like this?
Perhaps then EFF can develop a way of giving companies that might use these libraries a reason to care that this language is present. "The following is not part of the license" is just a long-winded way of saying "Feel free to ignore what follows this clause even harder than you feel free to ignore what precedes it."

I mean, full marks for cooperative nature, but being real here, the licenses in your Github repositories mean exactly as much as you're willing to pay a lawyer to enforce them, assuming you even find out they're being violated in the first place. It would be nice if the world were otherwise, but pretending that is so doesn't seem to me likely to help much of anything. Perhaps I am wrong in so thinking.

It's been suggested that if the Paris agreement lasts for the remainder of the century, the reduction in global temperature would be 0.023 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. This is in practice unmeasurable thanks to rounding errors. Details matter.
The early predictions were based on the early polls, and the later predictions were based on data after election results started to come in. A lot of the States that ended up swinging were on the eastern half, so the rapidly changing outlook makes sense if you look at the bigger picture (rather than just the number at the end).

That being said, predicting the outcome of an election with some 250 million potential voters based on a few hundred thousand polled individuals is a tricky game to play.
Say "wealth tax" near Buffet and Gates and watch them have quite a different reaction. Income tax rates have little effect on the already-wealthy because most of their money is not distributed in the form of a wage or salary; rather, it is stored in various types of financial vehicles that are already tax privileged. To the extent that this wealth is not held in stock, accountants set up other types of tax-privileged holdings.

Whenever a prominent wealthy person is talking, be aware of the PR necessity to not appear as if they are hoarding their wealth, or as if they are uninterested in sharing. Buffet and Gates are no doubt keenly aware of this necessity.

From the perspective of a Buffet or Gates, it is wise to publicly advocate for a tax increase that has little or no effect on your personal wealth, potentially targets up-and-comers who are currently making good money through their small-to-medium business ventures and may some day pose a threat to your interests (weakening them by confiscating more money from them), and keeps the public on your good side because they can point at you and say "There is $FAMOUS_RICH_GUY, and he knows that being greedy is bad."
Yes, I agree with "subtle and over the long term" as opposed to "destroyed it in a mere four months."
> If you believe the USA should be involved at all on the international stage, this creation of new public knowledge is a big detriment to that end.

The belief that the U.S. needs to be involved in the international stage is based on the fallacious assumption that international cooperation can fix climate change. There is no scenario in which that happens.

Without fundamental technological leaps, we'd have to decrease the standard of living in the developed world to reduce emissions while accommodating increased standard of living in the developing world. The math doesn't add up.
Not having any real experience with JS programming, is this talking about privately named functions (e.g. var MyFunction = function MyHiddenName (blah){}) or was this not being familiar with recursion? Or is there something else funky in JS that I just don't know about?
I disagree. I think this is about Microsoft and PC vendors wanting to take advantage of the economies of scale in the mobile phone market. ARM devices are higher volume than anything else. When the PC was the volume platform it allowed Intel to move into other markets because of the same type of economics.

Not everything is about that one issue. I think in this case it's typical capitalist drive to lower costs of production. Getting to move the PC user base over to subscription services like mobile phones is seen as a way to build revenue in what investors see as a stagnant PC market.

Not saying that all of that is good for consumers but, in 2017, thats not shocking.
I really, really hate the "log in to Facebook" popover.

All disagree with you, but of course you must know better sources and just did not add them. I'm sure.
Yeah, I agree. No way someone in C round will get 1%.
You can also perfectly argue that early adopters get first mover advantage with cryptocurrencies. It is, in the end, the same economic effect - if you get in early you can amass much more money / influence for much less than if you get in late, but your early participation accepts more risk. The later you join the more believable the idea is. The first 100 people to mine bitcoin had low probabilistic reason to think it would be worth $2500 in 8 years than be worth $0.

I do think if we want a cryptocurrency that can also function as money we need one that inflates, rather than deflates, its money supply. It should grow dynamically as a function of the monetary base rather than with fixed payouts (that gradually, due to the amassment of money, mean you are influencing the economy less and less each payout).

For example, you would strive to maintain 1% inflation, and when the velocity of the currency drops you increase that inflation, and when it speeds up you slow or even stop printing money. Its basically automated central banking with an algorithm rather than a commissioner.
Globalization of wealth is a result of treaties between sovereign nations.

But if so much wealth is hidden and not tied to each nation's fate, those with the most power and influence lose the connection to their compatriots.

This has led to the brittleness of the current international order. Since the fall of the USSR, national treaties no longer bottom out at the self-interest of each countries' residents. We are trusting a legal framework that has had its foundation severely degraded over the past 30 years.
The question is whether one can stomach living here while that crisis is ongoing.
Hi -- I work on the fraud team at Stripe. Last October we introduced Stripe Radar ( https://stripe.com/radar ) a suite of integrated tools to help you beat fraud. While different businesses see different patterns of fraud, we believe that overall our fraud prevention is now as good or better than essentially every other product in the industry. This partly follows from Stripe’s scale: whenever a card is used, there’s now an 80+% chance that we’ve seen it before. We use this data from the global Stripe network to detect and prevent fraud with ML models that we’re constantly updating and refining.

We’d love to hear what would make us work better for you. My email is brahn at stripe.com.

I had about 12 years of school where at least 1/3rd of the time was devoted to the atrocities of American history, in the South no less.

What are you talking about? Americans definitely care about what in the past, but you can't change things that happen in the past. The country, unlike China, is very open about the cracks in its core. There's a huge monument to MLK on the mall in DC. Can you say as much about Tienanmen Square?

You're right that visibility modifiers don't solve the general problem, but the author specifically says "Inheritance is bad... because it leaves each layer nowhere to put its internal state".
It will be illegal only if and when they actually treat competitors' ads differently than their own.

A good case study is AMP, which allows embedding ads and was, from the beginning, made to be integrated with competing ad networks.

The potential for anti-competitive behaviour is so obvious, that Google probably takes a lot of care to crossdot all its legal i's and t's.
When talking about global warming, yes.

To an overwhelming extent.

To me it lets me know if an object will be changed by the function or not. If it's just & I know that my object is just how I left it. If it is &mut I need to think about how it was changed.
The things you mentioned are so insignificant I doubt there will be more than a section about them in the history books.

In 1997 the EU was only 4 years old! Clinton was using submarines to tap undersea cables. AOL was connecting households around the country.

I don't agree that these changes are large scale compared to 20 years ago. Looks like the cycle is repeating itself and only the names have changed.
I was trying to understand the go source code the other day, my process was:

I would say that English has broadened the V2 transformation into a fully SVO language. While German is still SOV with an exception for V2. My reasoning being that this interpretation results in a smaller rule set than calling it V2 with exceptions for SOV. (But it's not like I would take a hard line on it has to be interpreted as SOV.)

The american dream is a prime minister : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4rWVOeEI7Y . It could be shoved aside. Since the US is now 4 months with Trump, another 44 months to go. I am really wondering what he will do next
Things change; consider 23.2% of Sweden's population are first or second generation immigrants.

US is ~26% including illegal immigrants now, but was ~35% in 1900 and ~18% in 1970. (First generation immigrants to the US are currently 14%.)
To me it signifies another nail in the coffin of the American-led rule based world order. In the 20th century the US carefully established an international framework based on the rule of law. In a mere four months that has been thoroughly undermined. Apart from the morally bankrupt policies of pushing down the effect of climate change onto future generations, in the short term it also signals to countries they don't need to play by the rules. Effectively echoing what Russia and China have been saying as well. This might actually hurt the US economy a lot more than it will gain. I hope I'm proven wrong, but it seems the American Century has officially ended.

If you think...I would buy one of these except that it has secure boot mandatory so I can't install Linux or reinstall Windows...then you actually aren't the market for these. Companies and consumers who don't care are...and they will buy a lot of them.
The vast majority of companies in America are not Fortune 500 companies. The companies you listed would benefit disproportionately from the agreement because smaller businesses would struggle to meet the cost of compliance without the global scale.

The number of American voters in those companies probably totals out to 2-3M tops, in a country of 350M.
NATO isn't a pool of money, no one "pays" anything for it. It's a mutual self defense treaty (and a command structure for executing such an operation). Trump did nothing to squeeze money out of anyone at that meeting, nor would it have made any sense for him to have done so.

By very conspicuously refusing to endorse Article V in his speech, however, he called the US commitment to NATO self-defense into question (question!) for the first time in the 68 year history of the pact.

If you happened to be a east european power thinking about invading a small NATO member (in the baltics, say), this is a huge gift.
This is such a giant genie to try to put back into the bottle with Adblock usage growing 30% last year and accounting for 10-12% of total worldwide users. How do you convince those people to worsen their experience - but only slightly - toward the noble goal of letting content producers monetize? Or do advertisers just consider that a lost cause at this point?

The real question is whether Chrome will get more draconian and start preventing competing ad blockers in the browser.

I doubt they'd go for it.

Otherwise, this would give a huge boost to Firefox.

Chrome's own adblocker would only reduce the incentive to install another adblocker. Especially if it's natively implemented as part of the browser.

Along with the rest of the replies to your comment, I think you're also underestimating peoples motivation by greed.

UBI will guarantee you won't die by something stupid and terribly like starvation, but if you want a nice condo, nice car, better entertainment, or maybe travel -- well guess what you have to suck it up and do? And poor workers won't be tolerated. I can only assume it would become easier to fire people if doing so won't immediately place them in danger as that danger would have already been mitigated.
Problem is, US will put them too.

Actually, Trump wants to put them for other reasons, so we would be falling on his trap there.
Too complex for the purpose.
I'm a 30 year old in the US. Unfortunately all I know is that there was a protest and some of the protesters got shot and there was a person standing in front of a tank. It's not like wikipedia tells accurate information about the event. Rather than alluding to what happened, can someone just spell out exactly what happened? Or give a non-propagandized link to what happened?
You pretty much sum things up as they were for me half a year ago. I'm not happy about them putting the sword of Damocles over Vimperator and Pentadactyl though, which is why I'm mainly using Qutebrowser on the desktop now.

That said, Mozilla is still awesome and FF will most likely remain my second go-to browser.
