Because at some point along the spectrum, the truly bad, "don't deserve to exist" companies eventually turns into the government and party in power picking winners and losers. Depending on the party, this could be anyone from Goldman Sachs to Monsanto to the Washington Post, to Peabody Energy (coal).

Normalizing the corporate death penalty starts the ball rolling towards this end.
For a company that has its roots in search, youtube is soooo easily taken advantage of by keyword stuffing it's incredible. You'd think that'd be the first thing they fixed when they purchased the site.

If they just fixed that a lot of the related video spam would go away. Ideally, related videos should come from the channel you're watching the video from. Really frustrating to be watching one video and find out you're not watching a clone account.

I mean, it worked pretty well for Google's ranking algorithm, so much so that it spawned an entire industry (SEO, which still doesn't let you get away with much in the way of black-hat type stuff).

Even just the rate-limiting aspect of keeping the algo on the server (in this case behind a human, but that's even not necessary) is useful: I can't sit offline with the algo and keep beating it with slightly different images until the hash changes enough to be considered unique.
> Score voting doesn't violate Arrow's Theorem (because it's not a ranked-choice system).

Right, but it could still have those problems that Arrow's theorem talks about. Do we have a proof to the contrary? I have a hunch that it promotes strategic voting, like plurality voting ("first past the post") does.
When you're a kid and something feels disturbing, you turn it off.

Common-sensical dismissals of something are often just a way of declingin to address an actual problem. I find it really easy to think of contexts in which kids keep watching this stuff even though they don't like it an its scaring them. You might not have done it, but you might not have any experience of autistic spectrum disorders, for example.

It's like saying people should just ignore trolls on the internet or any of many other nominally helpful cliches that actually dismiss the concerns of people who are dealing with problems.
"Encryption" in cloud data stores (like KMS) is really just an expression of permissions; it's systems security, not cryptographic security. If you don't have permission to access a resource on another server, yes, you've protected that resource --- but you don't need cryptography to express that.

I wrote an article about this pending publication so I can't link you just yet.

Bitcoin is mostly safe. Transactions in the pending pool can be compromised but quantum computers would need to perform logical operations at around 660 MHz. Confirmed transactions and unspent transactions are completely safe. The earliest quantum computers won't be fast enough to perform this attack. The problem is easily remedied by hard forking to replace ECDSA with a different public key system. There will be a lot of advanced warning.

I'm not sure on Ether.
It gives bitcoin its first use-case--inflation resistance. All other currency is continually losing value, by design. It is logical to pick the currency that doesn't lose value by design to store your money. Everyone talks about how bitcoin's volatility makes it a bad store of value. This is only true in the short term, though. In the long term, an asset that trends upward is a more ideal store of value even if it is volatile.
There are legal tests for contractor/client vs employer/employee relationships because companies are incentivized to misclassify employees to avoid tax and benefit obligations. The same problems don't exist with franchises and parent corporations (others do, though, and are litigated; for instance, McDonalds Corporate's obligations under the NLRA to franchise employees).
Yeah... But I'm sure all demos in the Components section are runnable code.

I have a feeling that suicide is easier when the costs are low. Once a terror organization develops respectable level of technical capability, like north Korea, they would tend to evolve into a criminal organization. I don't know if that is much better since a rational criminal organization may pose a much bigger threat than a fanatical group of terrorists.

Facebook is a non-trivial size company that has lots of internal private-facing programs with embedded http connectivity. From that experience, they open sourced Proxygen http library which is one of the links I mentioned in the previous comment.

Also, see the comment from VikingCoder which in turn links to reddit thread mentioning another big company like Google doing similar use cases with http libraries:

>I'm not sure who you're quoting or why.

I accidentally re-pasted the same quote from nine_k I've answered to higher up the thread.

Meant to quote this from you: "1734 people reacted to the generics issue, most in favor, but there are many more Go developers than that".

>*
My point was that issues are not a reliable sample of the Go community as a whole. They're a self-selected population of Go developers who cared enough about generics to click on a Github proposal on the subject and react to it.*

And my point is that I don't think this is the case. I don't know either way, but there's no reason to assume people caring to vote in the issue are necessarily not representative -- like I don't think that for any other project/issue combo on github.

In any case, even if they aren't representative of existing heavy Golang users, who cares about them? The language is still niche. There are tons more programmers to come to the language than those that already are using already.

So I would very much pay attention to what those not yet using it but caring enough to vote have to say about it.
I agree. It felt like Vue is rewalking the path of React all over again.

But I think it’s good that there’s competing library, though the problem domain felt eerily similar.

No, DO blame the language if its the one that enables and allows for said buggy code when it could as well prevent it.

Was on a review visit to Princeton with about 12 other people from various colleges and universities. We saw that Princeton was installing boards, I assumed it was whiteboards. I said just now installing whiteboards? No we are replacing all the white boards with chalk boards, because evn Princeton Professors can't tell the difference between a Sharpie and a Dry Erase marker.

Whether or not 'Delphi/Object Pascal' includes the largely compatible Lazarus + LCL + Free Pascal combo is a very big question here. Just 'Delphi' would be clearer, FPC refers to itself as an 'Open source compiler for Pascal and Object Pascal' : https://www.freepascal.org/

Because of FPC, arguably, if you use Delphi you're not exactly stuck in the unlikely event that it dies since in the worst case there is Free Pascal to move to, LCL and Lazarus (although I have no idea how it compares to modern late 2010s era Delphi and RAD Studio but it's at least something). Delphi also has a more or less proven track record, costs a lot, is pretty much enterprise tier item and has a multi million company behind it.

I'd argue Object Pascal is not a closed language but a language that has few implementations, one major open one (FPC) and one major closed one (Delphi) and that the situation is even better than C# vs. Mono was, since Mono had a murky legal/patent situation (or maybe it was FUD, I'm not too into C#) and the situation was basically 'closed language with a closed implementation that happens to have an open implementation' while FPC and Delphi are more like brothers with Delphi not 'owning' the concept of Object Pascal in itself nor any patents that could threaten it in any way AFAIK.

Lame.
There is no "repatriation discount". It's tax deferral just like a 401k or not selling profitable stocks at the end of a year. And Apple pays higher tax rates than most multinational corporations.

Apple can't return their foreign profits into the US or they lose this deferral, so where should they keep those profits until they do? Germany? France? Why on earth would you keep your money in higher tax countries? Why wouldn't you keep it in Ireland or the Channel Islands instead? It's not illegal, it's not even unethical.

It would be the height of stupidity to leave those profits in a high tax country. And the taxes they save are relatively minor overall. It works like this.

Apple earns about two thirds of it's profits in foreign countries. Over the last decade or so that's been around $225 Billion. They've paid about $25B in income taxes on those amounts (we'll ignore the huge amounts of VAT and employee taxes they've paid), so there is about $200B left.

If they brought it all back to the US, they'd owe the state of CA around $20B in taxes, and the Federal government around $63B in taxes. If they paid the $117B remaining as dividends, their shareholders would pay over $20B more in state and federal dividend taxes.

Let's recap. They made $225B, bringing it all back would mean mean various governments would get $128B in taxes, and the owners of the company $97B, a tax rate of over 60%.

So instead they keep the $200B in the lowest tax rate location possible while they wait for a US repatriation holiday with lower tax rates. They might earn 5% on that money, or $10B a year. If they kept it in a high rate european country, they might pay another $2B a year in taxes on the interest, but instead they got a deal from Ireland where they paid less than 1%. So they save $2B a year, but they will eventually pay nearly $100B more in taxes when they repatriate it. That's trivial in the grand scheme.

And that was a screaming deal for Ireland, because they didn't have to pay anyones unemployment benefits, or build any roads, or give Apple any "incentives" to build something. Ireland just let them make huge bank deposits in Irish banks, which turned around and lent the money out again, mostly to Irish companies, which created a massive amount of jobs and more taxes.

Not only is Apple doing nothing wrong, but they are doing a great deal of good too.

Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEs will compile while you code (like C#). Depends on the project setup and dependencies. But I've found that this works for most development until I need to produce an artifact. Then I run maven which does a lot more than just compile code and usually is longer than 40s.
Your post does not address Raymond's arguments, but instead primarily just attacks the messenger as supposedly not being qualified to comment on language trends.

While it may be true that ESR is not a superstar programmer in the image of a John Carmack or a Bill Gates, he has been a working C developer for over 30 years, and has contributed to numerous open-source projects, including systems projects, over that period of time. The examples he lists in the article are some pieces of software which he is currently a maintainer for.

Actually I think the fact that he is not a superstar programmer with a signature project possibly makes him a bit more qualified to comment on language trends. After all, most of the developers in the industry are by definition about average, and if average (or even somewhat above average) developers are finding their productivity much higher in Python and Go than they do in C, then they will start doing more work in those languages and less in C. In fact, that transition is exactly what ESR is describing in the article.

Certainly it seems that Go is usable for certain classes of problems that would formerly have been C's domain.
This kind of rhetoric is why we can't have civil discussions on this topic and why articles like this get flagged.

No, the reason why we can't have civil discussions is mostly that the same sorts of people who commit disgusting gendered harassment also feel a need to deny that they do so (and that anyone else does so), and attempt to nit-pick apart anyone who asserts a patently obvious fact about our society.

There's not really room for debate on "is gendered harassment of women, as a qualitatively distinct thing from generic bullying, a real thing that exists".

This is a neat idea. I tried to Google it to get the full thesis, but it turned up nothing. I then realized you were quoting yourself in the third person.

This could also be a good test for interviewers: do they toss the dead whiteboard marker in the trash, or put it back in the bin. Though, that could also correlate with self-confidence.
You replace the claim about voting method with a claim about who can get on the ballot. That is as big of a change as changing the voting method.
I'm reading the article and trying to figure out exactly where the horrible "mind scrambling" is happening.

The article seems to say "back when I was a kid, my parent entertained me with contentless saccharine trip from sources we trusted (Disney et al) but now contentless saccharine trip is autogenerated (duh duh duh) and who knows what effect that is going to have on 'developing brains'"

And would suspect, contrawise, that if there's a problem, it began at the point when the TV became the primary babysitter for modern children and things escalating to youtube is a step but a less significant step than this.

Edit: OK, the complaint is video moving from simplistic saccharine junk to the same thing with violence. I get that this is the step that disturbs parents lazy/busy enough to consign child rearing to video but controlling enough to think kids will parrot whatever they see. I would still see consigning kid-hood activity to video as where the damage comes. But maybe "that's just me"

> Arguably, only reviewing the image they already have once a hash matches is less work, since they wouldn't have to review all incoming reports, only matched ones.

They would still need to investigate reports that didn’t match known hashes, but you’re right that this would be beneficial. Images that match a known hash could be prioritized during review.
Every accounting firm does all it's work under NDA. Apples public financials document everything you want to know.

1) They make huge foreign profits and pay substantial income taxes to those foreign countries.
2) They don't repatriate the remaining profits so they don't have to immediately pay the massive US taxes they'd owe if they did so.
3) They record a tax liability for the repatriation taxes they'll owe when they bring the money back.
4) They document they keep the money offshore in the lowest possible tax rate location, as is their legal right, so that they minimize the tax on the interest their funds earn, which is relatively trivial by comparison.

The Paradise Papers doesn't tell you anything other than the specific location. The only thing that would be unethical or immoral would be if they kept the money in London, Paris, or Bonn, because they'd be paying higher taxes on the interest (not the profits) for no reason at all. And since it's not their money, and belongs to shareholders, that would be very wrong.
I don’t know. I think a whitepaper might just be a drier way to lie about what they’re really doing.
That's an interesting thought. You make a lot of sense to me, although I don't know that much about hardware design.

I would like to note, though, that the A11's high-efficiency cores are still pretty fast. In this (highly artificial) benchmark, they were able to accomplish more work in the same time than the high-performance cores. Since there's twice as many of them, that means they're at least 50% as fast on this code. So I don't know if this really will be the future, but the "slow" ones aren't useless by any means.

Bank managers will have clerks randomly pick a stack of checks and reject them so their clients feel like there's some auditing going on.
Since you mentioned KMS, S3 has ACL mechanisms, along with separate mechanisms to encrypt at rest using KMS, or any client based key. On cloud based stores, you can't basically guarantee systems security against the cloud provider or intrusions in their system, and for sensitive data need to encrypt it from your side.

In general I am not sure if we wish to conflate systems security and cryptographic security - cryptographic security ideally should guard against system security failures. Although in practice I grant you that broad system failures which expose crypto secrets (code execution would fall into that) would lead to crypto failures as well.
