But I could argue that central agency validation _is_ probabilistic, because there is a probability that the central agency can collapse, be overtaken, go rouge, etc.

And that that actually might be more probable than the blockchain 51% attack or split or whatever.

I don't know what the actual math here is, I think that the essential difference is that in case of proof-of-work such a probability is computable relatively easily, while we don't know how to measure the trustworthy-ness of a third party reliably (it depends on laws, military strength, level of corruption, etc, lots of variables)

The issue is that Coca-Cola et al, in practice, have enough power that they can cause problems for Governments which don't allow them to do what they want.

AWS Lambda appeared to be a nice method for task scheduling. In any case it is very cheap I only get billed for like 400ms per day. Other services like KMS came in quite handy as well - for instance to encrypt Bitstamp credentials in the configuration.

Right, 1.5% fee is ridiculous. Bitstamp charges 0.25%, that is ca. 2 cent for €5.

There are no guarantees that transaction will actually happen. But since the order goes to the last ask price, it is very probable that it will. I run this for a few days already, it always worked out so far. I also think that if the order is not executed for 24 our, Bitstamp will automatically cancel it (not quite sure, however).

It's true that over-testing, over-diagnosis, and over-treatment all cause harm (and sometimes death).

But have a look at "most common cause of female death" here: https://visual.ons.gov.uk/causes-of-death-over-100-years/

Cancer is the most common cause of death in women from age 30 to 79, and also from age 5 to 14.

(Brain tumors in children, breast cancer from age 30 to 54, and lung cancer from 55 to 79).

Advances in cancer detection (including working out which are the cancers that need to be treated) and treatment are going to save lives.

According to scuttlebutt from other vendors on the same platform, word is that 4000$ per annum is the mode, representative of larger customers and therefore their tendency to stay as a customer for at least a generation worth, say 3 years. That would place CLV around the 12,000$ mark. Not sure if that is optimistic or pessimistic. There is a little churn, but lots of repeats too, makes me feel surprised.

> Because the number of people who believe this will "permanently infect the web and destroy trust in our institutions" is miniscule and limited to certain tech-savvy internet community bubbles

The "tech-savvy internet community" is the only place the W3C has any relevance. Nobody else has even heard of it. And destroying trust in something important among the only people who actually know what it is, that's a problem.

> and browser vendors are also looking at the millions more people who would see Netflix et al ceasing to function on the internet as just another reason to ignore the web as a whole?

The web isn't the internet and Netflix isn't the web -- it is an app, just like Windows Media Player is an app. The fact that you can also write that app in javascript doesn't change that.

Netflix doesn't work like the web. You can't create a hyperlink to a specific title on Netflix and send it to your friends or post it on Twitter. You can't embed a Netflix video in your own webpage. Just rendering an app in a browser isn't what makes it the web.

> My claim is that the alternative isn't "more open" the alternative is "more closed, because the open web has yet another (this time self-inflicted) nail driven through it."

You can't get more openness by making the open thing more closed. Even if more things then use it, then they're using the closed thing and you've gained nothing -- or lost something because previously-open things on the open web become more closed.

> The open web will likely be increasingly relegated, for most users, to a dangerous place of viruses, malware, and shitty ads compared to their happy little walled gardens.

The web is already a sandbox. Browsers are specifically designed to run potentially malicious code, and are very good at it -- the large majority of vulnerabilities (and super-spammy ads) come from terrible plugins like Flash, or soon the EME black boxes. It seems rather odd to argue that having those things makes the web better.

"Walled garden" means excluding native apps that haven't been sanctioned by the gatekeeper. It's a terrible system that gives too much control to the gatekeepers, but it only makes the web more competitive by comparison because you can still put whatever you want on your own webpage and not have to get it approved by anyone.
Wait ... all that is says is that if you back feed into the grid, that you have to have a system shut-off. That's common in all southern states as far as I know? It's basically to protect utility workers that are working on electricity in the area so they don't kill themselves. It makes perfect sense and they have the ability to come in and turn your power off, naturally when doing so. Am I missing something?

I'm a big TypeScript fan but at times it just doesn't work & needs to be ignored. Like all things, you get to a point when you know what rules are okay to ignore. You can't do default props in React very nicely for example. Functional programming like pipes can also be a pain.

That said, TypeScript (and Flow) offers other huge benefits than the 15% of bugs mentioned.

* Improved documentation

* Better code hinting in the editor & better editor experience

* Teaches better JavaScript & prevents browser bugs. Some browsers are very forgiving when you incorrectly use JavaScript with DOM elements. Others are not.

Types slow down beginners a lot but that's a good thing. When learning a new language, a type system can act like a pair programmer or a teacher helping guide you in learning the types of the language. Each type has things you can & cannot do. People who learned JavaScript using JQuery & then try to type JavaScript without JQuery run into many of these issues. After using types for a while, the time investment is very minimal especially compared with having to come back & find the error later.

> they are complete anathema to socialism and must be overcome for any sort of socialism to be implemented.

False, Oscar Wilde writes about how Socialism is the very peak of individualism, core freedom for artists and scientists especially who nowadays are limited severely in their freedom by the tyranny of want and the subservience of market forces which degrades culture until it is only the shell of what it once was. He's not the only one; Marcuse and Adorno have also noted this. George Orwell too. In fact, Communism is called the epitome of free association of people for the reason that it is so liberating.

>The evidence for whether a theory is any good or not is how it works in reality.

Not really, but if you want to go by that measure then capitalism must be immediately replaced.

>Do either of the two examples you gave still exists?

No, they were both crushed by invading forces; in the case of the Paris Commune by the French government and in the case of Revolutionary Catalonia by Franco while being attacked also by the authoritarian Soviets. You seem to be ignorant of the fact that it is within the interest of governments to oppose Communism, because Communism is a liberation movement which opposes the state. It is also within the interest of capital to crush such movements which attempt to free themselves from it. This is extremely obvious.

English is one thing - knowing it enables access to a vast body of knowledge which is not translated to your native language, but you can - in principle - be a competent developer without ever learning English. It will be harder because you'll have a lot fewer books, articles, talks, blog posts and so on to read and listen to, but it's possible.

Writing is another thing. In my opinion, you cannot be a competent programmer if you are unable to communicate well in writing.

IP laws are why rich and powerful media companies can't take my independent creations without compensation and profit off them without risk of a lawsuit. Copyright serves a valuable purpose, even if lobbyists and the big companies they serve seem to not understand (or care about) copyright's function.

Copyright is DRM without the D. It puts just enough friction on using my creations commercially to make them decide to pay me rather than risk consequences. I don't mind it going public domain after a while. I'm not greedy, and I understand that culture needs to be fed to continue producing more.
Exactly, my point too. If you back feed, you usually get like 3.5c for each kwh you produce. The only problem is you generally pay 3x that to purchase when you are required to use electricity (et al. cloudy day). The shut-off thing is just common sense "don't kill they neighbor" doctrine.
Very clever joke?
The kids are thinking "did that look cool" and are swayed by the box and presentation (eg big box to hide the small size of the toy, etc.).

Adults are wise to the tricks and look for a toy that's not just good to play with "right now" but also will last to be played with again, and will still entertain when the box is open and the novelty has faded.

In short kids are an easy mark (easy to con).

Awe man, I'll really miss the 747 as I grew up overseas so flying these 6-8x a year was a joy. I remember being a little kid and getting to go up the stairs to the top level to see the cockpit and being in awe of the size. It helped spur my interest in aviation. For those wondering, one of the bigger changes in aviation which hurt the 747 and put the nail in the coffin was the change to ETOPS rules. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS) -- now that you can do the US -> Europe/Asia and other routes in a twin engine vs the four of a 747, it has become so much cheaper to operate anything but a 747.

The Future of Encryption Is in the Wave
Using your definition, all cryptography is also probabilistic. It's technically correct, ie. there's a risk that someone guesses your AES key, but it's practically irrelevant because the probabilities involved are so small (and key sizes can be adjusted to make guessing as improbable to succeed as we want).
IIRC correctly gold has been a popular currency because it has properties that allow it to fulfill the functions of a currency quite easily - it's uniform size and weight and overall geographic availability lend nicely to being a unit of account, while its natural scarcity lends itself to being a store of value, and its durability lends itself to both its unit of account and store of value functions.

It's also worth noting that the volatility of gold production has historically played against its function as a store of value, as fluctuations in its price have had impacts on the larger economy.

All of this is to say that the only reason gold has extrinsic value as money - why so many societies have seen it as money - is because it has natural properties that map reasonably well into the needed functions of a currency. It's not unique among natural currencies, rather just a first among equals.
> It makes it more expensive to use DRM.

This misses my point. No one cares about DRM - not the streaming service, or the browser vendors or most importantly, the users. Consumers have voted with their wallets on this - they'd rather watch Netflix than torrent.

Maybe I'm being callous, but I don't care much about "the ethical problem of pushing DRM". Nor do I care much about MIPS and SPARC. How many end users are running MIPS and SPARC anyway? And I especially don't care about it being difficult to use DRM. All of this sounds like ideological purity, which in my opinion, is a waste of time.

> I've never heard such a claim on the internet until only recently.

Knowledge progresses. You can choose to come along or be left behind.

> If the 15% of your bugs are simple type errors, then I'd suspect the quality and experience of your development team.

This is an empirical study, carefully constructed to be conservative in its estimation of the achievable benefits of what even these limited type systems could achieve in practice. No amount of sophistry about what can be called a type bug can alter that. If you think the code sample was unrepresentative, perhaps you could arrange for the code of the projects you have managed to be analysed by the same methods.
You still want your webserver to run for at least a minute to take advantage of concurrency otherwise you are not getting ahead of AWS lambda. If you have one pending request with 100ms latency then it will also take 100ms even if you have 1000 pending requests assuming that you are not CPU bound. You only pay for 100ms + 200ms start time. If you instead start an OS for every request you would have to pay the 100ms + 200ms multiplied by 1000 (the number of requests). In total you'd have to pay 300 seconds worth of CPU time.

Video games costs money. When you've got a habit and no job, how are you going to pay? People steal to support their habits. Little children have their childhood stolen because their parents were always gaming. People crash cars and kill people because their attention is on their little screen. That's why video games should be illegal.

You can do this with literally anything.
If you keep the same deflationary money over the years, you are making a profit. So what's "good" is not a money which supply grows or shrinks, but a money with which people can make good predictions and plans accordingly.

Plus, burying your money is withdrawing it from the money supply, maybe it has effects like "giving it to everybody" ? (added the risk that you can dig the money and put it back into circulation)

Response headers:

HTTP/1.1 200 k
Content-Length: 1163
content-encoding: deflate

I guess the '200 k' instead of '200 OK' saves an extra byte! :)

However, since they don't do any HTTP keep-alives (the connection sends a HTTP response and closes before you even send it anything), couldn't they save some space by dropping the Content-Length? It's an optional header.
Not jaw-dropping engineering so much as a natural evolution by Oak-Ridge National Laboratory. They moved from a design using 1 GPU for each CPU to one with 3 GPUs per CPU.
