It is low level API to be non-opinionated. Or at least it makes sense for me to make it like that. Same as web assembly, service worksers and others - that is a step in right direction IMO.

Same as for example Python providing WSGI - you don't often use WSGI directly, you use a framework on top of it like Pyramid, Django or Flask.

"American man jailed for selling herbs"
Twenty-five years later, two former Nixon administration officials, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, managed to take firm control of yet another presidential administration. This one, too, was marked by revelations of unconstitutional and criminal acts, including torture, mass surveillance, the unprecedented negligence of emergency preparedness functions, the politically motivated firings of U.S. attorneys, and the most disastrous military engagements since Vietnam. The second of these two wars, incidentally, was originally billed as the natural outgrowth of Iraq's intransigence. A memo would later become public confirming the suspicion that it was in fact planned from the start by Rumsfeld, with the ostensible issue of WMDs having been listed as one of several convenient pretexts by which this might be accomplished.

Hmm the article seems rater one-sided in its political bias, omitting possible corruption by the 'left'. Compared to the rest of the world, America ranks pretty low in terms of corruption, so as bad as it seems it could be a lot worse.
As the parent poster explicitly said, trademarks cannot be used to block interoperability - since, as you say, impossible for a Java implementation to be compatible without using the word Java in very many places, then this means that you are allowed to use that word without permission.

I'm not entirely sure if you're actually prohibited from publishing a new API under the name of com.oracle.* or java.* (IMHO you can, but I'm not sure), but even if you're prohibited to do so in the general case, you 100% can name a package com.oracle.java.everything without any permission if naming it so is actually needed for interoperability, that's a legitimate use of a trademark that its owner cannot restrict.

Did you read the article?

> HSBC aren't likely to be swayed by such an article.

The article is clearly aimed at small business owners. He's doing people a favor by steering them clear of HSBC. I never got the impression he was speaking to HSBC, or attempting to call them out.

> It's very easy to set up two or more business bank accounts and use them both.

This is literally second on his list of takeaways.

You might see more territorial wars, such as with Russia invading former USSR states and China making stronger claims over the islands in the South China Sea, but there is no indication that other countries would not pick up the slack and fill in the gaps created by reduced American military presence.
Geez, Larry, that's a simplistic view of workers.

What should be the proper expectations for someone entering the workforce?

Is everyone actually equal?

Certainly not.

Some earn qualifications to do various types of "Knowledge Work" and others don't.

Some will take smart risks, work hard, create value, build capital, and be able to employ others. Others take dumb risks, create little value, and go from personal bankruptcy to personal bankruptcy.

And still others will take their qualifications and work for large companies or organizations, and get used to not taking on any risks. They put in their time, create marginal value, and go home.

If they're not earning what they think they deserve, they can take their complaint to the marketplace, line up interviews, put their best face forward, and see if they can convince an employer to see it their way.

I'm disappointed in Larry's pandering to the "I'm a victim" mentality. We need more people with an "I can do anything" mentality.

1) They should be buying with their credit card. Visa and MasterCard + Amex will not make any issues giving your money back through a chargeback dispute. Virtual Coins are NOT tangible assets; hence Coinbase can do shit to proof they delivered you the "goods" (main reason why a dispute will be favorable to them, not you the customers)

2) Talk with the few layers in Bay Area. I believe there is a class-action lawsuit brewing and they just need more voices to add. I seen ad/clicked and read through but somehow unable to find it now :( I am sure calling few lawyers that deal with class actions (Law firm from PayPal lawsuit?) will help you guide through the right direction.

Good luck.

mmap!

I mean, not really, but it's a surprisingly viable starting point for simple problems. I've shipped it. Some production-grade software still uses mmap, albeit with a bunch of additional complexity to make sure it works okay in weird cases.

See this old comment thread I dug up that might be relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3982514

It seems like Redis might currently make use of mmap for some of its data, but I couldn't find an up-to-date source for that, just some old blog posts by the developer.

That's something they can complain over. Or hook you up with the local attorney general. Or shut down your account on some bullshit excuse to make you make it someone else's problem.

A big contributor is population density.

I lived in Northern Virgina, just outside DC for ten years. You can look at the surrounding cities' skylines and based solely on the size of office buildings, number of apartments, etc, you can get an idea of where the Metro stops are. The Metro opened 40+ years ago and the buildings clustered around them. Now opening additional lines - like the comparatively new Silver line - is easier because the infrastructure is there, they just have to extend it to the right places.

In Houston, outside the downtown core, things are distributed all over the place. Since there are less "obviously right" neighborhood choices to expand into, you need parking for people from nearby but not close aears. Oh, and since there isn't already the infrastructure, every inch of tunnels have to be dug, track has to be laid, staff trained, etc.

Extending an existing system is relatively cheap compared to starting one from the ground up.

Is that more concrete? (no pun intended.. this time)

I don't think of refugee as a pejorative, at least not in this context. They wouldn't be economic migrants because they would be migrating to the wealthy states specifically to take advantage of the social programs those states are funding/would fund on a state level. A corn farmer whose income vanishes because his federal subsidies are taken away isn't going to migrate to San Francisco for a tech job, he'll migrate because he needs to see a doctor.

Have you considered problem of printing searched results to terminal? I saw it is detailed little bit in your blog, but one of the things that bothers me is - say I am searchin for string "foo" in a 2GB log file. There are usual number of matches, nothing unusual.

But typically, I am not really looking for string "foo". I guess most users who are grepping log files are also looking for strings/text that appear slightly before and slightly after the match. This mostly happens when I am searching for an error/exception that triggered "foo". I find usability of grep frustrating when I need to search around something. It usually means, I have to restart the search with `grep -C` or something like that and even then line numbers I specified may not be enough.

I don't know how to judge "when it started to become the norm." It seems too easy to set the line semi-arbitrarily to the time you want.

A Mac users in the 1980s, before NeXT, would know about MacPaint and other Mac* software. The Mac 2D graphics used QuickDraw, which in turn was "was grounded in the Apple Lisa's LisaGraf" (quoting Wikipedia).

MicroPro International Corporation developed WordStar staring in June 1979. Again quoting Wikipedia, "By May 1983 BYTE magazine called WordStar "without a doubt the best-known and probably the most widely used personal computer word-processing program"."

There's AutoCAD.

And in the 1970s and 1980s ComputerLand was a large retail computer store, with "about 800 stores by 1985." (Microsoft, btw, was originally "Micro-Soft".)

While it may have been popular in the computer industry, I don't know enough about other fields. I pointed out in another thread the DryIce Corporation started in the 1920s, producing frozen carbon dioxide.

Edit: I realized I do know of earlier naming schemes which used mixed-capitalization. Before Micro-Soft was "Traf-O-Data", which followed a mid-20th century practice that includes Bridge-O-Rama (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge-O-Rama ) Bowl-O-Rama (http://www.bctv.org/opinion/bowl-o-rama-was-more-than-a-bowl... ), etc.

Perhaps I just fail to see the stroke of genius in that policy, or it works better in car companies than web publishers, but as CEO I actively fought this kind of communication wherever it proved harmful.

For example, the sales & marketing department got in touch with the IT and content departments directly on occasion in order to circumvent strict policies on usability and fairness vs. paying clients (i.e. they wanted special treatment for some customers when they bought expensive ads). Also, the IT folks complained that they couldn't keep their schedules because other departments kept asking for small favours that delayed their projects.

Sure, you can always fire the people responsible for harming the company this way and hope everyone always shares exactly the same goals and values, but it doesn't seem very practical to me when there are (naturally) slightly conflicting interests within the company.

Believe it or not Dallas has worse weather than Houston, just on different axes. Houston is humid 99.9% of the time, hot 75%, and has occasional tropical storm related wind and deluge.

Dallas has ice storms, EF3+ tornados, hail storms, wind storms, full-on snow, and severe thunderstorms - all with regularity. It will cost more to insure your home and vehicle against weather-related mishaps in Dallas than Houston.

Houston tends to have pretty consistent clearing breezes so although there is no doubt more car and industrial emissions it's not clear that the ambient pollution level is any worse than other major cities.

TBH, I've never been able to form a coherent picture of "postmedernism," I don't really understand what either proponents or oponents mean when refering to it.

That said, I think the place where postmodernism enters normal (non academic) human thought is not disimilar to funkier parts enlightenment era philosophy.

Take Des Cartes famous meditations, remembered mostly for his "stage 1" of rejecting all knowledge of anything but ones existence. He then attempts (IMO fails) to rebuild a foundation of knowledge based on pure reason, without any faulty assumptions.

What impact did des cartes have on normal people's thought? Almost no one is convinced by his proof of god. No one is convinced to reject all knowledge and stop there. People are still better for going through the exercise. Challenging assumptions & knowledge authorities. Aknowledging knowledge dependencies, how do I know this.

Des Carte's solipsism doesn't end anywhere concrete, but it opens the door to less ambituous but much more practical epistimology like Karl Popper's.

Likewise, I don't think that enlightement (and subsequent) ethics goes anywhere concrete. Utilitarianism, deontology or whatnot all lead to their own little absurd conclusions if you go down the rabbit hole. Very few people "adopt" them. But, the process does sometimes result in usable ethical frames for situations that do not involve a fat man in a cart.

So that's essentially (oops, no essences!), a lot of modern philosophy in a nutshell (are nutshells structures?). Reject earlier thoughts. Attempt to rebuild with mixed success. Meanwhile, get a better understanding of the limits of knowledge.

So... postmodernism... Like I said, fuzzy on what postmodern means......

But....I think it's a similar contribution. Reject existing frames. Criticize traditional systems. Try to find alternatives. Hopefully evolve in the process.

I think postmodernism opens up some doors to ideas like Yuval Noah Harari's description of human history. A big part of his ideas start with recognizing "fictions," all the things which aren't really real. Things that were made up by people. Tribes, nations, corporations, named places, kingships.... He then asks what are these for? When were they invented? What role do they play..

Postmodernism probably contributed something towards this way of thinking, or the public interest in it.

As to the methods used by postmodernist academics.... I've got no idea.

> Lawyers are expensive

Not nearly as expensive as folding your business.

> and bank accounts have complicated T&Cs which basically say "We can do what we like, and fuck you."

I've yet to see one that had T&C's that spelled that out directly or indirectly. In fact, banks being quite regulated chances are that even if their T&C had language like that in it it would likely be invalidated.

> You'll spend a fortune paying someone to argue some or all of the agreement is unenforceable.

If it goes to court, yes. But there is a very high chance that it will not and if you do not show that you are prepared to take it to a higher level then you're going to have to be content with being ignored. Trust me, a letter from a lawyer will not be ignored, especially not if it formally makes the bank liable for any and all direct and indirect damages arising from an action taken by the bank.
