Short answer, no, they do not.

As a former law professor of mine explained, thirty years ago, if you visited a "law firm" in China, they resembled a back-alley bodega. This example serves to elucidate that the nation itself is a Party-based system, which is by definition entirely different than a nation based on the rule of law or a constitutional system.

It's not merely the enforcement that is arbitrary, but the defining, application, ruling and interpretation of "law" is actually simply just attempting to appease the enigmatic communist party and its policy agenda.
So, um, what do they actually do? The only words in that that make any sense are CRM (customer relationship management) and CPM (business process management), and those are also hopelessly waffly business bingo buzzwords.

"as I have grown older it's become second nature to quickly cook up a lie to get out of an uncomfortable situation"

Thats a terrible habit to have developed. The old idea ideas of honor, of character, of moral strength, of reputation grew because they were based in innate principals of human trust. We live now in a transient place where people switch groups at the drop of the hat so some people think these ideas no longer apply. These people are wrong and the old ideas will be back with a vengeance. Be someone you would want to do business with. Have as a friend, as a lover. Otherwise you are in for a long, lonely and difficult road moving from place to place as you burn one set of people after another. Because cultures that lie as a habit ultimately can't out-compete those where honer is an important attribute. Don't be very clever. Just as in code, it catches up with one soon enough and it's just not worth it.
I suggest reading the source code to a professional quality compiler. There are lots to choose from.
I think you have a fairly narrow view of anarchism.

> I'd also argue that anarcho-capitalism and right-libertarianism are not anarchist in any sense, as they uphold the inherently hierarchical system of capitalism.

In what way is capitalism hierarchical, except in an ad hoc way that is constantly redefined based on the current needs of the people interacting?
Consider the humble sardine: rich in protein, omega-3s, and (with bones) calcium. They're much lower in the food chain than tuna, so there's less bioaccumulation of mercury, etc. And they taste good. I like the ones in harissa (pepper) paste.

Leakers, and the ensuing discussion and spread of the leaked information, is part of the western culture of transparency.

Of course government agencies don't want to expose their secrets voluntarily. They have to be dragged into the open kicking and screaming. Doesn't mean that they aren't, though.
http://booksoverflows.com/ is the same kind of site for StackOverflow books.
They did hack the voting machines. It doesn't say the hack successfully changed the outcome. What do you disagree with?
Unless you aren't in the US or Russia, then you have Russia potentially spying for Russian companies/government, and the US/NSA potentially spying for US companies/government. The NSA has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar when it comes to corporate espionage[0][1].

I'd recommend you check out those books because they explain it far better than I or anyone else could hope to in a single comment, but it essentially comes down to the capitalist/worker divide. The capitalist will always be on top, and the worker will always be subservient to their interests. That is how it is hierarchical, because there will always be the capitalist class imposing it's will on the working class, and so anarchists and communists hope to abolish the class system. However the two groups disagree massively on how to achieve that abolition.
I believe the gforth manual contains a fair bit about its implementation and design decisions.

For threading, this is probably a good start: https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/Thr...

EDIT: I don't know how well you know Forth, but it's probably a waste of time trying to implement it before you grok it from userland, if that's where you are. Understanding first the concatenative paradigm and then (more importantly) the deep metaprogramming runtime-is-a-fundamental-part-of-your-application paradigm (which Forth shares with Lisp and Smalltalk) is super important

That's never really been true. From day 1 it's been neck-and-neck with DB2.

Better public education.

Virtually every societal problem in America can be traced back to our sub-par and falling public education.

It's a hard problem to fix - deep reforms take decades to reflect in society, and the vast majority of voters will always be ones that went through older (broken?) versions of the education system... but fixing it is the only path forward. We can't regulate or police away bad ideas. This is a problem where we need to manage demand - the answer to flat-earth theorists, Nazis, and anti-democratic propaganda is to make sure the general public is equipped to dismiss those concepts.
The difference is that there is a process in place with court oversight, and a judicial system which isn't completely beholden to the government.

Even with the most egregious abuses of these National Security Letters, their scope is still limited and they have to have justification for whatever they demand. There is a record of such letters, which can be examined, for example by politicians in congress or the next administration. Companies can even challenge these letters. And they are still leaked all the time.

I doubt it works that way in Russia.
For me, personally, it was because, until very recently (July 2017) PostgreSQL had CTEs and window functions and MySQL did not. I worked on small/medium size apps so performance wasn't an issue and having these features made my life easier as a developer.
The NSA disagrees with you. Voting software suppliers and local election officials were targeted, not just DNC emails.

https://theintercept.com/2017/06/05/top-secret-nsa-report-de...

I do agree with you that without firm evidence & legal framework, the government should not victimize private business interests.

So, Kaspersky also did lots of detailed work uncovering malware from "the equation group" which was basically the NSA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_Group).

I'm honestly wondering if the reason they say not to use them is because they detect NSA things.
I think it's common knowledge industrial espionage is practiced from time to time by all major powers. The question is a calculus. Who'd put you in a smaller/bigger ditch, relatively speaking.
Ah, I mistook subsistence of Smith with Ricardo? (I finished Ricardo's book a month ago and WoN about 3 months ago, easy to mix up, particularly on Ricardo quoting WoN).

Nice exchange of messages! Glad to be able to talk about things written 250 years ago with random internet strangers.
I feel justified complaining about having to pay for it as long as the reasons it's expensive are artifically imposed.

Wow, it's been a while since I read something that full of propaganda that wasn't at least somewhat tongue-in-cheek (unless this is and I'm missing it). Not that I doubt there's at least a grain of truth to most the statements, but when someone uses "redditcorp" to describe Reddit, and says stuff like "The_Donald completely took over the site and likely propelled Donald Trump into the white house" (emphasis mine), it's hard to take them seriously.
Does any of this have an actual basis in science or is it just some CEO's fishing for media attention by claiming they didn't eat for a week?

More importantly, are there any long term studies on the affects of this?
If by "business" you mean "manipulative sales tactics," I understand them and choose to not patronize people who use them.
The left/right dichotomy doesn't work with anarchism since it doesn't necessarily have to be on either side of that spectrum - generally based on ideas about economy and not social structures or hierarchies. It can display features usually attributed to left wing ideologies (fight for equality, emancipation, fair society, freedom of speech, freedom of (and from) religion, self organisation, bottom-up communities, etc), as well as right wing ones: small (or no) government in the sense of a state and an establishment, fewer coded laws, no monopoly of power/rights by one group or institution (e.g. right to bear arms), free market, etc.

You might say that anarchism is the left wing on a spectrum where authoritarianism or absolute monarchs are considered the right wing. Anarchism is anti discrimination (pro egalitarianism) and by definition is against racism, sexism, nationalism, fascism, etc. It's not because it's "left" like socialists or (socialist) progressives are, but because of the hierarchies it is ideologically opposed to. Its main objective is a society free from imposed and unnatural hierarchies.

Edit: what I'm trying to say is that no one-dimensional linear scale that goes from left to right on which you can place all ideologies and compare them.
> They did hack the voting machines.

Can you provide an article, or source for this specific claim? There was definitely illicit accesses to voter registration databases during the 2016 election, but you specifically said voting machines.
> Did I misunderstand it?

Yes. You seem to assume this was some kind of press release. It was not: Google was previewing a new unreleased feature to one of their big clients, and that feature preview was under NDA. It just happens that this big client was Forbes, a news website. Forbes then failed to uphold the NDA internally and ended up publishing an article about this, breaking the agreement. Google PR noticed and reminded them of the NDA, and the editor in charge of the article at Forbes agreed and took down the article.

So evil.
I didn't know that chrome could get that. I thought that the mobile site had limited functionality and requested the desktop site when I needed to set a time range. I checked it with Chrome and it works. Very unfair.

However Chrome spoils the user experience by asking too many questions (log in? change language?). Not a good experience, I'll keep asking for the desktop site on those rare occasions.
The company that wrote it is a Postgres consulting firm so take it with a grain of salt.

Kind of like an AngularJS consulting firm that took thousands of hours to become an expert in Angular writing an article about how horrible they determined ReactJS is after 3 hours with it.

Edit: With that said, I've been a mySQL user for years (decades?) and it does have some obvious short comings that PostgreSQL does not. I often times consider switching but the thing is that in 90% of my projects the database engine is not relevant.
My boyfriend got his current job when my friend mentioned that her friend had the same degree as him and had mentioned the company was hiring, would he like to be put in touch? The company is about 15 people altogether.
> I hire contractors. I don't have time for people to ramp up on the job. I need them to come in knowing the stack we are working in.

Employers can bluster all they want; in the end, either they need to be happy hiring someone willing to work for the wages offered, increasing the wages offered and spending a lot more time looking (better wages gets you access to a larger pool, but it in no way chases away the incompetent, you still need to filter) or doing without the employee. As an interviewing worker, this means that you don't need to outrun the bear; you just need to be better than nothing, and better than anyone else willing to work for the same position. I've been working since '95 or'96, and personally don't feel I've actually been qualified to do any job I've had... but I'm better than nothing, and beating the competition is usually not very challenging.

As far as I can tell, the facts on the ground for contract work (which is to say, lower total comp than working as a FTE at one of the local big companies, lower job security, less respect, and generally slightly worse working conditions) means that when you are hiring contractors for a big company, you are hiring from a pool of people who are unable to get the same job at the same sort of company as a FTE.

Sounds like the Barnum effect[0]: "a common psychological phenomenon whereby individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically to them but that are, in fact, vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people"

Large companies are probably even less likely to hire due to networking - it helps more with smaller companies. I have helped gotten friends hired at companies I’ve worked at, and vice versa.
We use Postgres over MariaDB/MySQL because of working CHECK constraints, Common Table Expressions, extension support, JSON support, custom types and its great documentation.

Your free market part is where you'll find the clash. Any anarchist would say that a free market is inherently oppressive. The only place a "free" market would work is in a mutualist economy, and even then, that requires worker ownership over the means of production.
Is there an overview of the evolution of the Z-Machine through the years—what features were added and how the architecture changed in each version, and what these changes allowed that was previously difficult?

It'd also be interesting to see similar "release notes" for proprietary game VMs, like the runtimes of Game Maker Studio or RPG Maker—though these would probably have to be the result of reverse-engineering + wild-ass guessing.

This is an opinion piece by a Democratic Senator, not a news piece or editorial from the NYT.

Why people here continuously fail to understand the concept of an opinion piece? The NYT even hosted Putin in the op-ed column.
In addition to that book you mentioned, check out “Scandal of Money” by George Gilder (quick read) covering the concept of these sort of regulations as well as the nature of sound money vs extreme “financialism” that has replaced it over the last few decades in developed economies... along with increased regulation essentially separating main street from Wall Street / Silicon Valley.

He describes how a return to sound money through Bitcoin and perhaps a new gold standard, as well as reducing these sorts of regulations you describe would enable a renewed prosperity of the middle class.. for a whole host of reasons worth reading in the book.

Let's say I believe the good Senator from NH, that Kaspersky is evil.

What she has failed to show is how are Kaspersky's actions worse than those of Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, Intel, etc.? Can she state, with conviction, that the NSA does not have backdoors in US products? That the NSA is not exploiting holes (which they could get fixed by the vendors, but aren't) ?

BTW: the US has been "hacking" elections one way or the other all across the globe for decades. I find this uproar in the US about being hacked laughable, as we've been doing it for so many years! Sure, we may not use the exact same techniques are the Russians, but we do meddle in other countries' elections all the time.
Thanks. Yeah data is a much steeper climb. I am going the web route(I have some experience here already) and will look for a company that does data as well, that way I can learn and get started a little easier.
You need to read the whole article. The information was released outside of the meeting or the NDA.

> Google's e-mail doesn't mention a key part of Hill's story: that she confirmed the information with Google's press shop. If I'd been in Hill's shoes, I would have taken that as a signal that I was free to report the information.
This is a good way to look at it, for sure. Everything has fixed and marginal costs. Attempting to hang (trivial) externalities on wind while ignoring those on everything else is...well, it's pretty telling.
Have you considered whey protein instead?
Whether or not there is transparency (that the NSA works very hard to suppress), that doesn't change the issue. Sure, I absolutely trust the NSA - to break stuff, to snoop, to spy, to eavesdrop. In that regard, I have possibly the most trust in the NSA out of all the organizations I trust.

What I don't trust is the NSA to not break things. Its core to their mission. Is the anyone who is capable of and willing to make products with an assurance of security and privacy? Is there any webcam that I can trust to never spy on me? Any device that isn't leaving my precise location - even when Wi-Fi is off? Is there any firewall I can trust to keep snoops out? Any software that isn't vulnerable to NSA interference? They're ac advanced persistent threat for a reason and we shouldn't forget that.
That chart is based on data from 2003!

Recently, for one Scottish installation, government reports indicated "that more than 1,000 gannets would perish in the turbines each week, along with a similar number of puffins and hundreds of kittiwakes [1]."

Many birders and environmentalists are very concerned about this issue [2]. The video footage of a bird attracted to a turbine's blades is fascinating.

Sudden death? Solaris has been dying for at least a decade. An entire company collapsed after not being able to monetize Solaris-based systems. Solaris wasn't killed by a company; it was killed by the market. A company just stopped trying to resuscitate it after years of CPR.

Cantrill blames "executive whims, shareholder demands, and a fickle public," but not even a little bit the product designers and engineers who are so attuned to the needs and desires of the market that they have somehow missed the collapse of a Fortune 500 company due to their products not selling and years later are still surprised that the product is being shut down?

If they did that because they lost trust in the reddit administration then I think that a distributed approach would be much more fitting instead of making yet another reddit clone. In fact, NNTP would be probably exactly what they want.
No one has disputed the evil bit, which is that google is leveraging their search monopoly to force publishers to use Google Plus.

I dealt with some Webpack issues at my last job, and for my current job, which started around the time that Rollup was becoming popular, I decided to try Rollup. Even though it happened to have some bugs (which I've reported and they were fixed) it seemed to be a lot better than my Webpack experience, partly because it didn't try to do too much and I had more freedom to do what I wanted. Of course the project I'm working on isn't terribly complex, so I don't need a ton of specific configurations, but it does use React and I felt working with Rollup was a bit easier than Webpack when concerning React, especially when talking about speed; I absolutely hated working with Webpack because I didn't want to wait 1.5-2 minutes just to start working, and have to wait 10 seconds each time I save a file. The only thing I hated more was the attitude from some coworkers that my computer was too slow rather than the tool being bad.

And now there is Harvey...
I got started with a girlfriend, specifically. For the first month, we agreed to do the following:

1) No breakfast
2) Only coffee (no sugar, sweeteners) or tea during the day
3) Go out for dinner every night. No cooking. Don't eat to excess. We mostly went to different sushi restaurants and had different rolls every night. Under $40 for two.
4) Eat a healthy breakfast on weekends and maybe have some popcorn or nuts or whatever to balance out whatever nutrients may have been missed during the week.

It was the easiest diet I've ever tried. The first few days weren't rough at all, contrary to my expectations. The anticipation of restaurant food (as a reward for the daily fast) did a lot to keep my mind off hunger, or at least reframe it: restaurant food was a reward, and I wasn't hungry, I was maximizing my future enjoyment.

We also saved a lot of time -- no groceries, no dishes, no meal prep, aside from some egg dishes on Saturday mornings in bed.

After that first month, we were both down 8-10 pounds, and conditioned to fast... Importantly, we didn't feel as though our diet had cost us anything socially: we could go out every night and eat together, the meals were so important to us that we had genuine excitement about what was for dinner, and this by itself was a good topic for conversation while waiting for the sushi to arrive.

At the end of the month, we had both shifted from passivity towards more active-executive control over our daily lives, especially our diets. To go a day without food is nothing, now. If either of us ever need to lose weight, it has become easy: we can simply eat less until we reach a goal.
They're like the opposite of voat, they split because reddit wasn't authoritarian enough for them. They want to dictate what can be said and who can contribute. A distributed approach wouldn't work.
