> The downside of sharding is operationally it's a pain

I am really curious about this premise. Isn't it only a pain if there's no direct system support? (i.e. you have to manually rebalance shards, split up queries at the application layer, etc.) Isn't this the whole thing that NewSQL systems are trying to solve?

Moreover, I don't quite understand what benefits a hierarchical structure provides that a flat (or mostly-flat) partitioning scheme doesn't, ceteris paribus in terms of system support. Especially: doesn't a hierarchical structure mean it takes O(log n) round trips to resolve a lookup rather than just O(1) as in a flat partitioning?

His destination wasn't Russia. He went from Hong Kong to Ecuador and got stuck in transit at Sheremetyevo International Airport because the US government revoked his password while he was flying from Hong Kong. Efforts to get him to Germany (with pardon) failed.

As for media freedom in our Western so-called free world, look at what happened with news agency The Guardian, how they had to discard material which was in the interest of the general population of the UK and the world.

You find new ideas and new challenges.
I assume that by 'crypto', kenbaylor means 'cryptocurrency'. It's an unfortunate but common abbreviation.
You're accepting the assumption/abstraction made by Ethereum here, where "gas" is equivalent to performance, even though gas is an arbitrary measurement. You could easily build your own gas-focused optimizer for a toolchain like llvm or for a compiler like ocaml's.

Ethereum could bill contracts based on the actual cycle count they take to execute on the CPU, or some other metric. Then you wouldn't need to use a specialized bytecode designed for the gas system with its own optimizer. Of course, then people would potentially be tuning for the most common CPUs (or ASICs, or whatever) used by miners. But again, it's not necessary to roll your own solution.

Consider also whether gas makes any sense in the long run: Compute power continues to increase, and the cost of compute power continues to drop. If smart contracts are really going to be the foundation of a new economy and people are going to build applications on top of them, does gas make that much sense vs billing for actual compute and network resources like AWS or EC2? Is gas even a meaningful abstraction? I'd argue it isn't. If the 'value' of executing contracts in $/gas exceeds the cost of renting AWS/EC2 nodes you're basically created a market for mining arbitrage, and perverse incentives where those miners want to push the prices in one direction.

Event-oriented programming is old hat in every modern programming language. C/C++ have plenty of frameworks out there you can use to get at it, so do other languages. In some environments it's the de-facto way to write code.

Alternate frontends for the EVM potentially address some issues - which is great - but it doesn't get around the fact that EVM itself is poorly designed, and this is reflected in the system all the way from top to bottom. Some of the errata in the post I linked earlier were ways to exploit design flaws in both the VM and compiler to manipulate contracts, and instead of fixing that in the VM they make you put checking prologues in your functions :/
Your post is very indicative of distinctly non-Scandinavian politics and philosophy.
So essentially your support for punitive measures is politically and ideologically motivated.

>>Involving retail investors in that willful ignorance should merit prosecution.

Making the litmus test for whether someone should be prosecuted your personal evaluation of the ignorance of their political views is pretty far from any semblance of justice.
> It is the classic way of the dictatorship

Let's not kid ourselves though. The people voted time and again for Erdogan and his policies. It's a democracy that brought this upon itself. Putting the blame on a single individual and labeling them a dictator just muddies the water.

They're doing programming something else entirely (maybe in javascript, for example?), hopefully well, not writing C++ code you have to deal with, badly. Do you see the point I'm making?

Given that, this comment and thread was never about C++ vs C but I acknowledge this is the default C++ flame war that has been going on for decades so bringing it up, out of context and with zero supporting reasoning let alone evidence really illustrates the point about the problems of the C++ community nicely, thanks for that. Imagine a golden age of C++, it'd be awesome.

>If you're upset of W3C EME, your anger should be directed at the parties responsible for it, which are Google, Microsoft and Netflix

I can be upset with W3c, Netflix, Google, Microsoft and at the same time be upset with Mozilla.

I am more upset with Mozilla because they are a Non-Profit organization that had (and I stress Had) a mission to promoting Open Standards, Open Web, and User Privacy. They have turned their back on that when those issues became less popular than performance. They turned their back on those principles because market share.

They have stopped attempting to education the public on why they should care about EME, about privacy, about anything really.

I find it sad that Mozilla is no longer a leader creating conversations about why the Open Web is needed for Society, about way Standing up for Privacy and User Freedom is important. Instead they have choosen to play follow the Leader to MS and Google.

Where is the 1990's Mozilla when Microsoft wanted to maket Active X a Standard and they stood up and said NO

Where is the 2000's Mozilla when w3c wanted to drop HTML in favor of XHTML and they formed WHATWG to force the W3C in to adopting HTML5 we have today.

Where did the Leader in the open Web go? Where did Mozilla go and what is this abomination that replace it?

Very much agree here. I've done the same to a lesser extent (defense contractor, maybe a Big 15, failed startup, and then freelancing).

Freelancing is pretty good in terms of work-life balance as well, although it can feel like an endless pursuit of finding projects (interviewing, selling yourself, etc)
Annotations (in the sense of small snippets of text that display briefly to add info) are fine. What YouTube had in many cases was a poorly implemented MySpace page overlaid on the video. And as one of the parent posters said, the setting just kept turning itself back on no matter how many times you turned it off (on the video, or in your settings page).
I thought that the kernel had improved enough in recent years for sil3... perhaps not though.

I wasn't as aware of the issue of safety-critical systems as I should have been until I was inside a couple industrial companies where PLC's were everywhere (for this very reason). The thing that interests me now about this is how hard I see netconnected PLC's pushing into industrial applications, mostly because everyone in industry is on the edge of their seat for IOT to hit so they can use and abuse the data (instead of waiting for service call to pull data like they used to, why not just use an LTE-modem PLC, for example?) Do you see where I am going with this? Safety-critical industrial applications <sil4 are increasingly more vulnerable, and it's not from lack of realtime response to stimuli. In the end, using linux in realtime just seems to exacerbate this particular angle on the issue that I see. It does make me wonder about the implications of microkernel design vs monolithic in such applications though.

FWIW, "gravity knifes" are defined when the article turns to the legal situation. In making readers wait a bit, the article may actually be trying to recreate the thoughts of these people caught up in the law: "WTF is a gravity knife?"

"I don't need to request permission to move to a different state in the United States, I just do it."

Trying to equate EU and Spanish law with USA law is an exercise in futility. The point you are trying to make only makes sense if you consider the EU and its nation-states to be the counterpart to the US and its states. In that case, we are seeing a secession unfold right now with Brexit.

A better analogy would be if a group of counties in a US state wanted to break off and leave not only their home state, but the US overall, to become their own micro-nation, with the option to rejoin the US as the 51st state.

No, you do not have as much freedom of speech in the UK or Germany. If you tweet something offensive about e.g. Muslims, or anything else that the police deem to be "hate speech", you will be arrested. And British police have in fact been aggressively enforcing this. In Germany, the restrictions are even more severe. Both German and British governments claim and exercise the power to scrub the internet of extremism, to "protect" citizens from certain viewpoints.

You misunderstand the nature of the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech in the United States. The Bill of Rights are in the federal constitution and are enforceable in the federal courts, against any level of government (federal, state, or local).[1]

One of the central free speech doctrines in the United States is the prohibition on viewpoint discrimination. That means that our laws cannot treat any viewpoint differently than any other. If you are allowed to stand in front of the courthouse and scream anti-racist slogans, then you must be allowed to stand in front of the courthouse and spew all the racist hatred that your heart desires. Communists, fascists, anarchists, democrats, republicans, racists, reverse-racists, white supremacists, black supremacists, holocaust deniers, and even people calling for the overthrow of the US government, they can all speak their minds in America. There is no jurisdiction in the world that guarantees free speech as totally and absolutely as the United States does.

Americans are self-governing people. We don't need someone to tell us what we're allowed to think.

[1] This wasn't always the case, but the Supreme Court has held since the 1920s that the 14th Amendment "incorporated" the Bill of Rights to the states. Before this, most or all states had free speech provisions in their own constitutions anyway, but enforcement was not uniform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_R...

>Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Item 70, The chess problem "stolen from Chess for Fun, Chess for Blood" by Lasker is problem 66 from that book [1]. The problem as stated in the memo is wrong: the white bishop is on the eighth rank, not the seventh, so it should say Bishop on KB8, not on KB7. The problem in FEN is then:

The version from Lasker's book is much more interesting. It happens that the version from HAKMEM is also a mate-in-3, but kind of a mundane one, relative to Lasker's anyway.

tl;dr: racial profiling and quotas. It's just an exploitable law (if using a dubiously-stretched interpretation) which is a handy pretext for arbitrarily arresting people.

The title is essentially wrong, in that it's not the law itself that has landed people in jail, it's the police wilfully mis-enforcing it.
"Many cases" is subjective and anecdotal. Maybe my set of youtubers i followed was particularly high quality, but almost all uses of annotations i have seen were to provide corrections to information found wrong in the video, or additional information learned after the video.

In some cases such things were applied quite heavily too.

And thus the point of my previous post is that for people doing serious work with their youtube videos providing corrections and such via the description is entirely untenable.

I'm sorry you've only seen spam, but cutting off another's tool because some people can't use it correctly is a severe case of FYGM.

I have not gotten the feeling that Turkey is no longer a democracy? I have to admit that I haven't researched it much, but I haven't heard anything in the mainstream media about fraud during the elections or the referendum to expand the presidents powers. The whole coup was a disaster of course, and the way Erdogan reacted is without a doubt dictatorial in nature. But I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the people are actually supportive of him, much like people are supportive of Putin in Russia.

I've always found it kinda weird that as soon as people in different countries vote for something we don't like, we consider them no longer democratic.

BUT, like I said, I haven't researched it well enough, so I might be entirely off the mark here. If you have any info on this, I'd love to hear it.
