Which is interesting, and thanks for the links, but this isn't what the Economist is talking about. The Economist is talking about the mis-allocation of labor - not a problem for the producer, not a problem for the consumer, a problem for the person that has to tot up the stats and make it fit the framework of capitalism.

Private property is protected by the threat of force, and if violated actual force.

Taxation is protected by the threat of force, and if violated actual force.

You're drawing a boundary around money and calling it yours because it happens to be in your pocket, and saying the government is threatening force to take it... but in the USA in 2017 all that money is not yours, it belongs to the nation in exchange for services, defence, etc. Witholding it is a form of theft; you would be the one violating the property of others and demanding the initiation of force.
@neha - where do you think kafka is going to evolve in the world of data processing.

I'm very bullish on kafka. Today we have Spark for batch data computation and have already switched some of our streaming stuff to Kafka.

Do you see yourselves entering into the batch processing space anytime ? Google has officially said that Flink is "compelling" because of its compatibility with the Beam model.

If I can step on thin ice... is it easier for Flink to commandeer Kafka or for Kafka to win over batch processing ?

Is there anything like this for python and or javascript?
My approach would be something like this, but with a very "poor" generator with the parameters a=81007, c=0 and m=2^17. This approximates a low discrepancy sequence (additive recurrence with alpha=1/golden ratio). Then I would calculate x and y values using the hilbert curve and the calculated pseudorandom number as the index (more precisely two Hilbert curves next to each other, so it covers a 512x256 rectangle). On today's CPUs it can be calculated quite fast (shameless selfplug: https://github.com/leni536/fast_hilbert_curve). I suspect that the resulting pattern on the screen would be less random looking, but more uniform without any obvious pattern.

> I'm saying that some things - for example, slavery - can be proved to be morally wrong without having to perform an examination of the material evidence against it.

Taxpayers recieve benefits from paying tax. Slaves (those that didn't die) did not.

Taxpayers are able to assemble to discuss the matter, lobby their representatives, campaign for change, vote for the change, campaign for office. Slaves were not.

Taxpayers are free to leave the country and go somewhere new. Slaves, suprise surprise, were not.

I don't see moral equivalence there.

> A lot of "veterans" are just resented with new paradigms and too egotistical to stay relevant.

Sometimes, your new paradigm is actually something that they tried 10 years ago.

> In the end, you can sum up all rules into one: Make it easy to maintain

That is only one of the many facets of programming that you have to balance: performance, memory consumption, ... .

If you want to push your system performance to the extreme, believe me, "easy to maintain" is not going to happen. But that is the trade-off that you will have to make at that point.

Veterans know that everything is a trade-off.

Let me give you one extreme: you are writing a throw away prototype. How much time and effort are you going to spend (=waste) on making your code easy to maintain?

I'll give you my veteran answer:

- If you are in 100% control of the project, you know you will throw away the prototype, and you can throw things quickly together.

- If you have a manager, he will take 1 look at the prototype and say "Wow, it's almost complete! Don't start a new project, just add these features to your prototype and it's done.". So in that case, make the "throw away prototype" easy to maintain.

That is what veterans bring to the table: making trade-offs in specific situations. And they've been through a lot of situations.
Knowing that you have less than people somewhere far away isn't necessarily a strong motivation to desire more. The one's wanting to flee the regime are those who are oppressed by it. That isn't everyone though. There are always many people who find the status quo perfectly tolerable, else it would not be stable.

Generally, most people only care if they have more than their neighbors (re: materialism) and about their standing in the community they are embedded in (re: ideology).

This creates a self-reinforcing effect. For example, while most people will say that they [edit: the NK elite] are worried about their families being hurt, I would argue they are more primarily worried that their families and friends will disapprove.

Sure there is a real risk to dissenters, but you don't start out as a full-blown dissenter; you start out embedded in the society with maybe some innate doubts about certain things. It's the internalization of the projected negative reactions of those around you (basically your 'conscience') that makes people unlikely to ever allow themselves to mentally oppose the regime, if they have no strong incentives to do so (i.e. suffering unbearable hardships and oppression - and again this is often judged relative to what your neighbors are going through).

As a government scientist in NK you are part of the elite, so you're a pretty good position. You're essentially in equilibrium with your environment and I would imagine something would have to come in and shatter that equilibrium before you would consider going against everyone around you.

You're entirely misreading my comment. Yes, cash4gold stores exist now, no, they don't push penny stocks or ICOs on people, as much as they (and CEX, BrightHouse, etc) would no doubt like to. There's nowhere on the high street you can go to be told that you should be buying penny stocks - and there would be without regulation restricting them from doing so. And it'd all work wonderfully until it didn't. Gambling establishments are properly labelled and regulated as such for a reason.

In the EU, there are a lot of regulations around marketing securities to inexperienced investors, and if you screw up, you are liable.

The Smart Pointers of Modern C++
"Android is perfectably usable without any of the Google proprietary software."

In a virtual machine maybe, surely not on any phone where most device drivers are closed blobs. H4x0r5 may hide backdoors into compromised play store apps, but governments do it in device drivers, with 100% success rate because a closed source device driver is something 100% of the user base has installed, keeps running 24/7 at maximum privileges and has 0 chances to audit or examine.

Today closed device drivers, binary blobs etc. are places to look for malware; until a device is completely open it cannot call itself safe or secure.

Python is a scripting language, so its strong point is being used as a glue, and half of its standard library is implemented in C anyway.

Plus, the "C-implementations" he mentions are available as readily usable modules (numpy), or semi-transparent jit/aot compilers only needing a few annotations (Cython, numba), not actual C you have to write.

Besides, isn't the whole point: finish your project fast with the language you know using whatever it makes available to easily speed your code up?

As opposed to: "be a purist and not use wrapped libs written in another language".

Who cares for that? Even if it comes up, it's to avoid the hassle of having to deal with an additional language, setup etc -- which for numpy, Cython etc is almost none-existent (as you don't need to actually deal with C).

And of course, despite the purity of Julia's "single language", the hassle of moving to a totally different language, which few use, is not yet stable in syntax, compiler etc, and has fewer libs, should also be considered...
It's not priced in. People are more likely to just hope it doesn't happen to them. If you force both insurance and evacuations then the risks are actually priced in, with deaths minimized and a constant cost of living bump instead of tons of people gambling their lives and livelihood.

This story has also been in the NYT, as I recall:

> Tomball, Texas, Public Works director David Esquivel told a local paper there this year that the Houston area had “two 500-year storms back to back”: over Memorial Day weekend of 2015 and early April 2016. That means that Hurricane Harvey constitutes the third “500-year” flood in three years.

Rare meteorological events do not correlate to large scale disasters, per se. They only reflect the probability of the underlying event happening in any given year. Imagine that your nearest creek "flooding" by 2 inches should only happen every thousand years, for example.

> We've got catostrophic storms going back every decade. Donna, Hugo, Andrew, Katrina, Harvey...none of this is new.

Aaaaand here's the fundamental confusion with those kinds of summaries: what is the difference between speed and acceleration?

We have always had bad weather. Having more bad weather than before, more frequently, is the issue. Climate change did not invent the hurricane. Climate change ensures our hurricanes will be bigger, more frequent, and more likely to combine with other larger, more frequent, weather systems. See Sandy, for example.

From a management perspective, I wonder if people find older developers miss obvious solutions that involve throwing small amounts of money and/or hardware at business problems, and instead turn to "clever" solutions that are costly in terms of extra developer time needed for developer and maintenance.

Certainly when running technology in an SME I found my gut feelings about many cost/benefit questions were often invalidated by the ever-decreasing cost of computing power, both in terms of physical hardware and cloud resources.
