You're making a few assumptions that I disagree with.

'First, I chose the word "objectively" in the sense that win/wins are still possible in consumeristic markets.'

Well, I think most economists will tell you that almost every non-forced transaction in a consumeristic market is a win-win. Otherwise, it wouldn't happen! You have $x, but you want to have whatever I'm selling more than you want to have those $x, therefore we make the trade. I, alternatively, prefer the money. If there's no win-win here, then the transaction wouldn't happen in the first place.

"This statements is "we are a business. we have knowledge that some of our customers have a greater need than others. we are making a decision to help those people with greater need".
Their statement is no more prescriptive than that. But damn if it doesn't make me question every other wildly profitable business, including the corp I work for."

That's sincerely very nice of them. It really is. They're giving up some of their own hard-earned money in order to give to others, and I applaud them for it.

However, don't give up on all corporations just yet. Corporations are in a very different position, at least large, public ones, because they're not wholly owned by a few people who can decide to give some of their money to charity. They're owned by huge numbers of shareholders. (A lot of which are members of the public, investing through pensions funds and the like).

Who exactly should be making the decision to e.g. donate money to charity, instead of making more money? The individual shareholders are completely free to do this with their own money, and many do - but why should the company itself do it? If I were a shareholder, I'd want the company to mostly maximize profit, then decide in private how I'd like to donate to charity. For many reasons, not least of which is that I'd probably donate to GiveWell or something similar, rather than to a few random people who happen to like CAH.

Anyway, I really can't say it better than Milton Friedman, so if you're interested, I suggest you read his words on the subjcet:

That does not sound like an argument against overgrown lawns but for speed limits and road designs that discourage fast driving. Here residential areas intentionally curve their roads so people can't drive fast because visibility is not all that great around house corners anyway.

Is there a github/wikidata list of global manufacturers and the branded goods made by each factory? In theory, that would enable supply chain transparency, e.g. Amazon plugin for online shopping or mobile app for offline shopping. Note that the same factory can make goods to different quality specifications, depending on brand requirements.
> I don't believe your claim that your culture doesn't seem to understand the value of having a space in which you are not to be interfered.

It is pleasant to have it. The question is, how much money you pay for that and how much you can afford. It is also necessary for old people to have help. Also, if you live with friends, especially if you don't have own room, you have no place where you are not to be interfered. If you have spouse and small kids, such place don't exists either.

Having a place where you are not to be interfered is exceptional state for most people in most history.

> or invest in a new idea if you only get paid enough to cover needs and not wants.

What does that have to do with living arrangements? Nothing. But also, this would imply that majority of people in the past were not adults either. It shapes your actions and options, but they were no less adults. We are a bit less adults compared to them, because we play more. (We also drink less and are less violent which is very likely related.)

> And that success and failure are meaningful is what separates children from adults.

There is very little success of failure in local factory job in stable economy you mentioned in above comment. Nor much personal development. You are changing standards here. And for adult 1960-1970 middle class women, there was not much personal success or failure at all - her success or failure being defined too much what other people do. Still considered adult (edit: on second thought, some feminists argued that arrangement prevents women to grow and become real adults. So there were people who agreed with you.).

> If success is no longer possible because people can no longer get that experience and grow from it, that's a bad thing, especially in a society where only the already-well-off get to do it. Social progress slows down when humans can't fully mature, and drags innovation down with it.

But of course, success is possible whether you live with parents and save money that way or not. Or whether you live alone or with friends. So is failure.
If I could change JSON, I would add comments to it, not make it simpler.
> This turned out to be a premature optimization, actually! The CakeML compiler did full functional correctness proofs for their register allocator and report that it wasn't significantly harder than Compcert's translation validation.

Not sure if you're saying that using a translation validation approach for register allocation was a premature optimization. But if that's what you're saying, you're wrong: The paper describing the register allocation validator explains that this replaced a register allocator in Coq that was proved directly. The validator approach is much smaller and simpler than this direct proof was. So it was an actual optimization after the fact.

It's possible that CakeML does it better, of course.
> Example: when you add a new element to the API response, the recipient needs to update their schema.

That's not the case with protobufs. The sender can add new fields, and they will simply be invisible to receivers using the previous version of the message.

You'd need to update the receiver only if you want it to access the new fields, which is what you'd need to regardless of serialization format.

To be fair, MATLAB only added support for reading/writing JSON this very year. And they represent JSON objects as structs, which don't support all key names, and they have a very "idiomatic" idea of which JSON arrays are decoded as matrices or cells, and how nested arrays sometimes result in nested arrays, and sometimes result in multi-dimensional arrays. And there's an uneasy relationship between the empty array and Null. It is kind of a mess, really.

I bought a Chromecast and took it back the next day, it didn't do anything beyond mirroring content from a particular device (seems everyone who watches needs a device, or you need a 2nd device for a room to be casting from), which any Android device does (including FireTV).

We cannot walk away with the mony, because we never have access to the full funds. We let the users send a partial wallet only containing the bits needed to check if we have bruteforced the wallet.

I could've bought some week of Thanksgiving and it's value could've doubled. I could've bought some a year ago and it's value would be almost 20x. So on and so on.

In my gut, I feel this feels like mania and a crash is coming in 2018. Yet, I don't have any solid reasons outside of the things people usually say. Makes me wonder if we are all behind the times or missing something, like this is the future of the global economy.
You can publish any old crap. Microsoft's crappy file sharing protocol has an RFC. At least one of the ludicrous "IPv6 is crap, we should just use IPv4 but with bigger numbers" proposals has an RFC. [This can't work, the numbers in IPv4 are in defined bit-level structures, "just" having bigger numbers is nonsense without a new protocol]

From the IETF's point of view all this does is use up a few kB of storage in the RFC Editor servers, and hey, maybe someone will find it useful. It usually makes cranks or corporate types go away and stop wasting everybody's time.

If you're thinking "Wait, so how do I know if RFCs matter and I should care?" I have two answers

1. The pragmatic answer. If you're reading about an RFC because everybody does this and you need to do it too, then I guess it mattered after all. You can decide you don't care about RFC 822 and you'll use email headers starting with an exclamation mark and they'll be in the form of a list of headings and then a separate list of values. But your method won't interoperate with anybody else's, so you'll be talking to yourself.

2. The textbook answer. The IETF marks its Standards Track documents with their Standards Track status, e.g. "Internet Standard" or "Proposed Standard" (there are some legacy "Draft Standard" documents too).

I see many comments here on the efficiency of binary formats versus JSON. While it is certainly possible, especially with a well designed and implemented protocol, just remember that you don't automatically get massive gains by using a binary protocol:
* JSON compresses well, and gzipped JSON is usually smaller than a corresponding binary format without compression.
* Being such a common format, practically every language has a highly optimized JSON parser. Just because a binary format can be faster to parse, doesn't mean the implementation is necessarily faster.

As a specific example, I've had experience in the past where the most common protobuf implementation for Ruby at the time was an order of magnitude slower than the default JSON parser (it has probably improved by now).

So by all means use a binary format for (internal) machine-to-machine communication if the performance gains are significant, but don't just assume that JSON will be too inefficient.
Why? What's your goal? In all honesty, you'd be better off just working on a significantly large project that pushes your skills forward and learning as you go.

There are no integers in javascript, numbers are always represented as double.

Most implementations of json respect that. The error people get are because numbers are converted from double to something else that's not equivalent. Precision is around 15 digits and the usual rounding issues are applicable.
> "Sure, maybe college kids are adjusting their values because of the permanence of record. But it's a completely different thesis from the one presented in the OP (let them make mistakes on a smaller scale)."

The central points of the article are covered by the following quotes...

"That’s the important bit. Because for all of the supposed liberating power of their digital devices, they might as well be wearing ankle monitors. Technological connectedness has made it much harder for them to make mistakes and learn from them.

Today’s students live their lives so publicly — through the technology we provide them without training — that much simpler errors than mine earn them the wrath of the entire internet."

"In my own life I made bad choices that went far beyond spray paint. I flunked out of college and at various points narrowly dodged jail time. When I think back to those mistakes, I’m horrified and chastened. I feel fortunate to have survived, to have had the privilege to make amends.

It would be nice to live in a world in which errors weren’t necessary. Or would it? Miles Davis left behind a quote that I think captures the beauty of a world in which mistakes are natural or even valued: “It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note — it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”

Our children deserve the opportunity to play the music for themselves."

The general gist is that mistakes are an essential part of the learning process. Increased public scrutiny holds students back from learning from their mistakes. You hold people back from exploring ideas fully if you're aware that every simple misstep can carry a high price. Whether the students are consciously aware that they're being held back is an interesting point, but not the main one. The impact may not always be felt on an individual level, but if an impact is made on the cultural norms of the time then it can still affect the behaviour of these same individuals. If you don't know what you're missing out on you may be conditioned to accept current cultural norms without questioning them.
They're childish cowards. Childish because like young children they're not able to express themselves reasonably, so they resort to throwing tantrums. Cowards because they do it anonymously.
Instead of opposing "systemic stability", they're encouraging it to harden.

No, the problem is that Apple can do whatever the fuck they want and people still will literally rip the entire stock out of Apple Stores. The newest Macbook Pros still have 16GB RAM tops and not a single miniDP or USB connector, thus leaving people with a pile of useless junk when they upgrade (or have to replace, e.g. due to dead mobo) their older Macbooks.
