The great part about this process is that, in my opinion, it highlights the importance of pragmatism. Google, as multi-billion dollar ad company, is understandably (and I would say, correctly) risk adverse when it comes to changes to its bread and butter.

But if a new startup tries to replicate a process whose aim is to produce code that "[runs for] years without need for massive intervention" before they've established product/market fit, they will run out of cash.

Google has very specific needs. Code quality requirements for banking software is different than a CRUD app.

IMHO, the best path is to be honest with where you are as a company. Some times you need to just see what works, and multiple cheap iterations that you have no plan to support in the future can be critical to success. Other times you're making billions of dollars and the most important thing is to not screw up. With every variation in between.

So at my company: our subscription and payment handling is designed to run for years. Not screwing up is the most important. Certain product features are pushed as quickly to market as we can, with an eye towards future stability. "Good enough" being good enough.

Theo would say, if you think so then get to writing code instead of commenting about it.

These aren’t just philosophical comments, the implications for him and OBSD devs is to spend massive time developing these things. Dropping a supported platform and taking on a huge investment of effort needs serious justification.
I think this thesis could be expanded to complex applications as well. For example one can use Word out of the box to write documents. That is the application's "one" purpose.

You can customize things such as the themes, but it does come with one preinstalled and selected by default. If people needed to download a "default theme pack" and then configure the default theme in the settings dialog before they could even write the first document I think many would abandon it very quickly.

I do disagree with parts about manuals though. Many applications need not only manuals, but whole series of books written about how to use them.
> Something like 60% of hispanics in the US are originally from Mexico

Since you want to talk about borders. The question then is, since the US borders Canada, why hasn't Canada seen vast immigration from and through the US, from poor black and hispanic communities, that would obviously benefit massively from Canada's strong society safety net and universal healthcare system? Why aren't millions of hispanics choosing to pass right through the US and immigrating into Canada?

The US has somewhere around 13 to 15 million undocumented immigrants. Why don't they just pass through the US and seek citizenship in Canada, given the obvious upside (Canada's social system would benefit poorer people far more than anyone else)?

They can't. Canada's immigration policy won't allow it. That's the crux of the discussion that you can't avoid.

People will risk life and limb to go from Syria to Germany (about the same distance as Mexico to Canada). Millions of poor Latin Americans immigrated into California over 40 years, and eg NY is about 28% hispanic, but your premise is that Canada is just too far away because it doesn't border Mexico. That's absurd and it poorly attempts to evade the real problem: Canada will not allow in large amounts of low skilled, low education immigration because of its immigration policies, and the US by contrast has historically. That's an unavoidable fact backed up by immense immigration data. I find it incredible you're even attempting to counter argue that, it's a direct result of the system that is in place in Canada right now.

Your 60% figure is close. There are around 70 million hispanics in the US, including the large undocumented immigrant population (equal to 40% of Canada's entire population). Of that, at least 33 to 35 million have origins in Mexico:

http://www.pewhispanic.org/2013/05/01/a-demographic-portrait...

> Saying the Canadian [black population] rate is 6 times less is meaningless without accounting for that starting state

Canada's black population percentage is extremely meaningful. The six fold gap between the US and Canada, indicates exclusion, as the poorest demographic in the US is black people. They are the worst off, and would logically be the most likely to want to immigrate for a better life, which surely Canada's admittely superior social safety net and healthcare system would provide. And yet Canada is seeing almost non-existent poor black immigration from the US (hint: Canada won't allow it, because it uses a skill & education restriction system on immigration). The US black population is larger than Canada's entire population, which makes the point extremely well.

On the other hand the problems we deal with in designing and implementing systems like this are so challenging and unique that they more than make up for the added process.

> Unions exist to lobby for their members; teaching unions represent teachers, not students.

And what do teachers want? Educate students to the best of their ability.
Yes, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here that many teachers actually want to do the educate and ain't just in it to "get rich" because if one's sole motivation is making money then god knows there are a myriad of better choices than becoming a teacher.

Imho this representation of unions as "oh so greedy money grubbers who only do it for the money" really irks me, especially considering that the original reason for unions actually being a thing was to counter exactly such "greed money grubbing" ways by exploiting labor in mass when it was still living in serfdom or straight up slavery.

Unions do not just serve the purpose of "making union members richer", even if that has become the de-facto reality in some places. Without unions it would be doubtful anything like workplace safety regulations would ever have become a thing, many standards for healthy and productive working, we take today for granted, are the direct result of unionization in some way or another.

2) Do you prefer the red or the green?
3) If we order the widgets from China instead of Mexico, we can save $10 per widget, but delivery will take twice as long. We believe this trade-off is worthwhile because foo. Please confirm that this is acceptable to you.
4) etc.

Thanks,

Interesting! So, it should basically be possible to bootstrap from source using OCaml and the old source from the Git repository.

It's interesting that OCaml was used to develop Rust since OCaml is also used for formal verification of SPARK (a dialect of Ada) which is another language for safety critical applications. OCaml seems to be a good choice to invent new big languages.

>where delegation isn’t possible.

This is the issue--delegation absolutely is possible in the use cases brought up by MPs and by bystanders. There's not really an excuse when email accounts can be set to auto-forward, and when email delegation accounts exist. Granted, the IT staff should have solved the problem by going to the MP and explaining that email delegation exists, but that's still not an excuse for the MPs to repeatedly break the law.

You can use Linux for this sort of thing, but you have to be very careful with the software stack.

This is identical to a modern laptop where you can hit, say, 10 hours battery life, but the software must be asleep practically all of the time. Anything misbehaving (e.g. Flash, mds) will keep the CPU switched on and waste power.

Smaller micros are less efficient per unit of work but they just aren't capable of running as fast and chewing up a lot of power. You can also compensate for sloppy code by turning down the clock rate.

If you're running a BLE device (not Bluetooth Classic), 500mAh for a week of runtime sounds doable. An iPhone battery is 2-3Ah, and so long as cell modem and screen are switched off, I believe that it would hit a week of runtime.
Regardless of whether there is an AI capable of making some meaningful contribution, I'm sure it will be done by someone for the PR exposure.

Norway is among exceptions (Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg), as far as I can tell, with a combined English literate population under that of say... Canada[0]. Most seem to (understandably) support their native language at the expense of English. Granted Germany, Austria, Poland, and Belgium all have relatively high English proficiency nonetheless, but it isn't anywhere near as ubiquitous as it is in Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Luxembourg.

The laws vary hugely based on city/county/state/country and purpose of sale, but in my experience in the US you are almost always required to report income made from personal sales and pay income tax on it, and the person who bought it from you is supposed to pay sales tax. Sometimes there is a quantity exception, fewer than x sales and/or lower than y total value. With trades it is much murkier but in my experience not required.

Not to say I do or that the tax man will ever come for me, but the laws are there.

The real issue here is the selection bias in the caseloads of good vs poor physicians. In psychological treatment teams it's common for the caseload to be (implicitly or explicitly) allocated based on the perceived skill of team members. Note — this may not necessarily correlate with their actual skill, but it still screws up any estimates of provider performance unless you have very good prognostic indicators of outcome from before treatment (and you likely won't).

Economics are not separated from politics. The poor diet of most Americans is a direct result of various subsidies given to the farming lobby. Individual choices allow an individual to be fat, but at a national level it takes vast tracts of land.

First of all The Daily Caller is a conservative rag started by Tucker Carlson. Second the characterization of the bill comes from "critics"; it doesn't at all do what you say it does.

Stuff like this is designed to sound absurd. It's written to get people enraged so they worry that their fundamental rights are being abrogated. Conservative media is full of articles like this, and it's started a dangerous race to the bottom where now the right and the left are struggling to enrage their bases more than the other.

Sorry I'm not yelling at you but things like this are responsible for a lot of problems. Please read the bill and you'll see it's merely adding gender identification to the list of categories you can't discriminate on.
That's the interesting part we're going to find out.

Yes they're cash settled on the expiry date so on the 3rd Friday of the month the future that expires that date will have the same price as BTC.

When there is time to expiry though, what is the mechanism that keeps the prices aligned? If BTC is difficult to short natively, there isn't an easy way to keep the futures at fair price.

IE if BTC is worth 10k and someone keeps selling futures down to 9.5k, why would BTC drop? Only if a buyer chooses not to buy BTC but buys the future instead. But if the future keeps dropping those guys will get scared off.

The real thing is no one knows so we'll find out soon if/how this will work.

Good for them. The other thread here on this was filled with people complaining about how lucky the Winklevii were here. Most success scenarios I'm aware of are heavily driven by chance. People tend to attribute success to luck whenever they don't think it was deserved (it's a very "what the thinker thinks, the prover proves" type of arrangement). In this case, I find attempts to discredit these guys as quite absurd. They took an early plunge into a technology they found had potential and built one of the finest exchanges for it (Gemini).

My approach is "Risk Driven Development" - find the most likely causes of failure for your project, and structure your methodology around reducing those.

The standard lean startup risk is building something the customer doesn't want, so it makes sense that the way to mitigate that is by getting customer feedback quickly.

But other projects can have substantially different risks - for example, one project I worked on involved building a pipeline to process a large amount of data every day. There was no real customer risk, the spec was pretty much "do this thing that's valuable on some data, but for 1,000x more." Instead, the major uncertainty was whether the libraries we considered would scale up. To mitigate this, we built small prototype projects with each library on production workloads, and found something like 7 out of 12 of them would work with minor adjustments, while 5 had to be discarded pretty much entirely. We then wrote the project with alternatives for those 5, or writing replacements for the functionality we needed from scratch.

As teams grow, coordination becomes a bigger risk. One way to reduce this is by having interfaces between modules, and enforcing those interfaces in code. My preferred method is static types and functions, but of course there are others like JSON APIs.

They also permit borrowing. If I borrow U.S. dollars from you and then disappear, a court can drain the funds (if they’re there) from my accounts. That wasn’t possible with cash. The capability enabled an explosion in credit and financial creativity.

Bitcoin, natively, is like cash. Borrowing and rates are afterthoughts. Futures fix that.

There is a certain hilarity in the multiple layers of hypocrisy here. A bankless Bitcoin coöpted by the banks. Investors wanting Bitcoin washed of its principles. Wall Street establishing itself as a gatekeeper to cheers from its detractors. Nevertheless, a lot of money is to be made.
