Help me understand this please. In what legal way is GPL obstructing you as opposed to say an MIT or a BSD license.

GPL license has noting against use in a proprietary setting, its only if GPL'ed software is being sold/distributed, that it is required that the source and the changes be made available as GPL. Google uses GPL'ed software all the time and is far from the only one.
Just because it doesn't translate 1-to-1 from another imperative language doesn't mean it isn't imperative itself. Haskell is not in the C family. It's not going to accept straight translations from C, but C doesn't monopolize imperativeness either.

By using and supporting Facebook's open-source projects, you are supporting their bad practices indirectly. Separation is not really possible.

Facebook does not have a cure for cancer. Perhaps if all the intellectual workforce that is now invoked to track users and please advertisers would be used to search for a cure instead, we would have a cure by now.

What Apple and other companies have been doing is also harmful and caused by poor monetary policy of western world central banks. Interest rates have been stuck to the floor because central banks prefer to strangulate their own countries than to let wages and prices catch up a bit.

If you store them in sqlite, how do you deal with redundancy / failover / scaling? There are other databases with better tooling for this, but they weren't part of this comparison. The world is full of tradeoffs. Scale and availability vs. microbenchmark performance is one of them. It would be very interesting to see a comparison of clustered MySQL or Postgres vs. Gluster or Ceph. I very much doubt the performance side of it would favor the database so much.
What if Mayer's actual role was determined by Google? could it have simply been "keep them alive so we're not viewed as a monopoly"? Or maybe "put them out of business but make it look good"?

I don't think that anything quite so evil went on but you have to wonder, given Mayer's investment in Google, whether there weren't sub-conscious components to her decision making. One advantage to hiring a successful CEO from another industry is the lack of this background (of course, one of the disadvantages is Scully).

Just a small anecdote: in southern Brazil there are
a bunch of protected tree species and there used to be people collectives which dropped mud seed bombs around city gardens (I don't know if they were the same kind of manure/soil India is using, but I am pretty sure they were actually semi dry mud balls to resist winters). The trick here is that protected trees cannot be cut down, never, no matter where they grow. The fee you pay if you chop one down is abdurdly high. Wherever the bombs germinate you will have permanent reforestation. I wish/hope there is something similar in India :-)

Here in Europe engine oil is typically always multi-grade, and often fully synthetic. I believe this is because standards are stricter here (although I can't find anything confirming this), and synthetic oil often leads to engines lasting longer and lower emissions.

This is why manufacturers have different recommendations for Europe. The formula of the oil is completely different to the US, so it can stay in the engine a lot longer.

In most cases, using a solution like Amazon S3 will have all these three sorted out for you pretty good. And while it's not a full mountable filesystem, from a system development perspective it has a really good API for retrieving and storing files.

In the UK the political parties are wed to a lock on pensions that keeps them tracking inflation. One of the parties tried to wiggle out of a small part of it in the recent election and it seems that was at least partly responsible for their poor election performance. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over time and whether at some point the dam will break and chaos will ensue.

At an individual level it's probably a good idea not to rely on the state for anything if you can manage that.

Austerity NEVER works. It's small minded and looks solely at the debt instead of the investment.

IF we get debt for a billion dollar highway system but that highway system helps the country make billions of dollars over the time of the loan. That is called an incredible investment.

Well, these are mutable, but only in the ST or IO monad - which is a guarantee, but at the same time it is not quite the same thing. You cannot just accumulate state by mutating some stuff, then in a separate part of the program mutate it again.

Which is intentional, of course, but quite opposite to the imperative mindset.

The article may be unclear on this point: anti-virus was turned off for these tests. What that paragraph is pointing out is that performance tanks badly (roughly a factor of 10x) when you turn on Windows Defender, and presumably even worse with other anti-virus software.

Credential: I was one of several people who vetted the article before it was published. I argued that Defender should be enabled, since it is a platform default. D. Richard Hipp chose to take the charitable path and not report those results alongside the others.

The test is easily replicated yourself. The source code for it is part of the SQLite source tree, and command lines for building and running the test are given in the article.

While I broadly agree that things don't usually change how we expect, I do think the near future could invert that somewhat.

If we look at you examples of failed predictions:
> domed cities, flying cars, orbital space resorts, mile-high towers connected by floating trains, robotic servants, and the such
we notice that the real reason none of these exist is because they are all essentially impossible to achieve with our current technology.

However, robotic servants are partially already here. We can verbally ask a device to play a certain song or order us some loo roll, and it works. We have autonomous cars that can, reasonably safely, drive us wherever we want to go. Elon Musk's new factory is, reportedly, almost entirely automated. And as most of this progress is recent, it seems likely that it will continue to advance for a while.

I will agree that there is significant friction against changes in society, which slow down adoption of new tech, but consider that robots in the context we are discussing are not a consumer good, they are a replacement for employees. So perhaps the most relevant question that will drive or stall adoption is: Is a robot more cost-effective than a human.

I also think watching the extent to which self-driving cars are adopted by delivery/freight/taxi companies, and the fallout from that, will be a fascinating (maybe terrifying) glimpse into that future.
I don't understand. The added value of a blockchain compared to a simple distributed store is that peers who don't want to trust each other need to get to an agreement.

What's the point of using a blockchain in this way?

Bitcoin's blockchain is necessary because newer blocks need to inherit the proof-of-work done on previous blocks, since the correct chain will be the one with the most cumulative work in it (presuming it's also valid). So it needs to be a sequential list of blocks, where each new block references the previous one.

But I can't see why this is useful when a) proof-of-work isn't used and b) blocks are separate databases. Why not just have one, big database and accept commits into this if they're signed with the expected private keys?
Unrest do collapse the rule of law for a shot time, but there is a problem. If investors start to flee then they stop being the top 1% earners in that place. Sooner or later the allure to earn money overrides the fear of loosing, and the cycle continues.

In a book called Debt, the First 5000 years they explore this concept and uses it to explain why nations tend to independently concludes that you must have laws that regulate lending. If not you get periodical unrest where the populace go and burn down the debt ledges, and in some historical places this happened as often as once every few years. Collapse of the law don't permanently scare away investors.

Not to say that unrest and collapsing the rule of law is a good thing.

Besides scientists, I don't really see quantum computers as being useful computationally. There's breaking cryptography, but then you're spending billions to inconvenience people into moving to a different quantum-resistant algorithm.

What about creating cryptography? Wikipedia has a few interesting applications:

I'm not a cryptographer - are security people excited about building all sorts of weird quantum protocols?

> “Then you let the computer check all possible solutions ­essentially—or a very large combination of them—and come back with an answer,” he says. In a quantum computer, there’s no mathematician cracking the problem, he says. “The laws of physics crack the problem for you.”

That sounds more like an NTM than a quantum computer. An NTM would turn its owner into a God.

> Superposition is the mind-bending observation that a particle can be in two states at the same time. Bring out your ruler to get a measurement, however, and the particle will collapse into one state or the other. And you won’t know which until you try, except in terms of probabilities.

It's not probabilities because people think of those as real numbers. The coefficients are complex numbers. There's a probability monad, for example, but no quantum monad:

The article sort of mentions it later on when they quote Scott Aaronson, but I suspect the author didn't understand and mentally reverted back to a probability model.

The point is that, the government, can always pay future pensions because it can issue money.

The question is: can do it without generating inflation?

It depends of the productivity of the economy in that future.

The conclusion is that saving money means nothing, what is really important is generate real wealth now so we can pay in the future without generating inflation.

So, investment in real capacity (creating infrastructure and knowledge) now will allow generate the real resources for "paying" in the future. Just the opposite of what they try to sell us.

Never mind how much money you save now if, in the future, there are not real resources for taking care of everybody.
