My layman understanding of the old GSM network is that cells have a control channel that is used to set up calls (and initially also transfer SMS, before it became popular enough to DOS the cells) and then a bunch of channels for handling the actual calls.

It may well be that the control channel's initial "wakeup" transmission is done at a very high power to ensure the phone receives it clearly, and then after some back and forth the two adjust their power levels and move to a different channel for the actual call.

Many things shouldn't accept inbound connections, but outbound is really useful. A manufacturer being able to collect data from devices to monitor their health means they can have an engineer onside before a problem takes the equipment down, and the manufacturer is able to learn what happens in the lead up to certain problems, and so on.

Most modern industrial equipment has this sort of telemetry data collection. You don't hear about hacks very often. A lot of manufacturers seem to do a pretty good job of security (or of covering up hacks).
I'll second that.

Indeed. There are 3 criteria studied to classify cyber threats: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. While it is possible, an integrity attack on safety related systems is very difficult to achieve, while an availability attack is much easier to obtain due to the failsafe nature of such systems. It is totally not better. Worse. If you shutdown power & light of a city, you can probably hurt or kill even more people than by making the plant work improperly.
+1 for these three points.

But I'm really surprised every time people tell me they look at the schema as defined into the ORM instead of at the table in the database.

I'm really jaw dropped the few times I know somebody doesn't even know SQL, only the ORM. Maybe they look at it as if it were the reaction of somebody that thinks you must know assembly if you want to program Ruby, Python or Node (I don't.) Still, if you work with a database you must know it's internal language, SQL or NoSQL. Your going to need it or build a mess.

And involving a DBA early in the project can make your database at least twice as fast, with the right schema and the right queries. Then you translate that into the ORM you want to use.

Surely you're the one getting this backwards somehow? You're talking about privatisation, but the OP discusses deregulation.

You don't mean to say that deregulation leads to more regulation, do you?

EDIT: Also, your thesis that using markets is inefficient due to more regulation, it sounds rather that you mean to say that more regulation is inefficient. How is this a failure of the market and not the state?
Honestly if he had asked for my consent, I might have thought about letting him brand my organ, it's not like anyone will see it or care. It might mean he takes more pride in his work and thus do a better job.

And a practical example of this is checking transformed points against a view frustum. Instead of transforming points into the view space a transposed matrix allows you to transform the frustum into the object space and check untransformed points against it. This works only on non-perspective transforms, of course, but the view transform should not be perspective anyways.

To visualize this, take a simplest case of 2D space and non-homogenous coordinates. A simple frustum would be an angle made by two rays from the origin. You can see that rotating this space is as same as rotating the frustum in the opposite direction (though in this case transposed matrix is the same as inverse) but stretching the space opens/closes the frustum depending on in which direction it pulls its normals.

But you can decouple the database logic from the app logic anyway, without using stored procedures. They don't actually help you do this since you still need code that knows what stored procedures to call. Also, I'm not sure how this makes security easier? It seems like security would be the same or maybe a little harder since you now have to track the stored procedures you're currently using as well.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "you can deploy schema changes independently" and "you can change everything and the app should not notice". The stored procedures are basically just an extension of the apps logic right? So you can deploy them at any time, sure, but that isn't different from an app that doesn't use stored procedures, because you could also deploy changes to any part of that app at any time.

I do think stored procedures can be more efficient, because you have a lot more control. But it's not like they are clearly superior from an organizational standpoint. If you write an ORM using stored procedures, it's still an ORM.

LA PLACE DE L’HOMME DANS L’INDUSTRIE DU FUTUR
I've done several WP sites, and I'd say that how you should work to resolve this depends on what you're looking to get out of WordPress - or more specifically, what your clients are. The host also matters a lot - there are several "Managed WP" hosters, and each provides different options. I'm not a hardcore dev (i.e. I don't even do PHP), but let me see if I can suggest a couple ideas. And if my ideas spark someone else's, so much the better!

>No version control

In terms of...? The core engine version is pretty easily displayed in the dashboard. Plugins are versioned by their authors, and update notifications happen regularly. If you're talking about page versioning, I'd have to respectfully disagree. The history of all page edits is quickly found and you can revert freely (and the "future" versions of a page once reverted don't automatically get deleted either). I've found that version control is probably the best thing about WP.

>slow GUIs

This may depend on your server and what you're trying to do with the GUI in question, more than WP as a whole.

>bad GUIs

Yeah... the Dashboard could certainly use some work, but after some thought I've not found a better way to deal with it. If you're talking about TinyMCE (the text-editor), there's a few plugins for that which make it much better.

>over-reliance on 3rd party support

I understand your point. I also believe that the 3rd-party support on its own isn't a bad thing; it's the fact that in order to make it so that non-tech-savvy people can make a WP website, it's so easy to install or remove a plugin without recognizing what it will break. If you mean in the form of tech support, I wholeheartedly agree - the problem is that WP is an open-source project, and like many FOSS projects, there's an expectation that you'll be able to rely on "the community". Often, my problems could be solved just by searching either Google or DDG with "WordPress [describe problem]". Just as often though, I couldn't, so I went to the WPNYC or WPNNJ Helpdesk Meetups.

>difficulty migrating to production server

Okay, this one I really have to blame as much on your hoster as on anything else. Morally speaking, I don't like suggesting GoDaddy for much of anything to anyone, but they have found consistently easy and functional ways to handle migrating from testing to production, and cloning to testing. If your host doesn't help you in terms of that, you need to consider a Managed WP host. Otherwise, there's a plugin (there it goes again) which will allow you to quickly export and import your database - I believe it's called WP Backup or something like that; install the plugin on both your testing and production, export/import, should be simple as that. Depending on your setup, you may have to manually copy your media unless you're pointing everything to an external CDN so your images are all URLs and not Library entries. Seriously though, Managed WP - regardless of which Managed host - is probably the best way to deal with WP.

People who are specialists in one thing might make terrible judgements in other things. Your excellent judgement in designing software doesn't make you an excellent driver.
Foreign influence in congress may not be the biggest threat to Democracy, but it is one of my biggest pet peeves. A country has vastly greater resources that any other individual, business or entitity. A foreign country's intentions are also potentially far more nefarious than a company lobbying to make more profit in a capatilistic system or an individual wanting government policies to be shaped more according to his needs.

A foreign country should not be allowed so much access. This kind of reminds me how in one of the Wikileak emails, Clinton removed a country from a list of human rights violators for a mere donation. China is far far worse than a small country and this is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. I sincerely don't understand why no one can publically reprimand China for turning into a dystopian dictatorship before our eyes. Xi orders complete video and cellphone surveillance, black bagging without trial, abolishes term limits, makes disappear any rival billionaire or elite, and no one says a darn thing. Instead, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerburg are in the front row clapping. Literally. Xi announces all this and they congratulate him and clap in the front row.

We take a lot of tech freedoms for granted.

Game devs only change programming languages when console and OS vendors force them to do so.

That is how they moved from Assembly into C, C into C++, adopted Objective-C, adopted C# in their tools, accepted external middleware like Unreal or Unity.

So until one of the big desktop or console owners releases an SDK where Rust is the language, they will hardly adopt it.

Sure a few indies might do it, but it will be a blip on the radar of the usual Game Developer Conference attendees.
I presume, the dog was wearing a collar with some metal tags that bounced off of one another, making sounds of similar frequency to the ultrasonic remote.
Probably not -- The version that emerged from the conference committee included a provision that wasn't in either the House or Senate bill -- but coincidentally would result in a tax cut of over a million dollars per year to the Senator that was previously holding out. He then announced that he would now support the bill.

You are going to have massive downvotes and its actually well deserved for once because you are exactly are type of people who needs to be stopped spreading Chinese government propaganda on Tibet.

It is pretty well documented what China is doing to Tibet, its people, its natural resources and its culture. Building roads and trains are NOT for Tibetan people. They are there to enable mass migration, putting out massive military infrastructures and shuttle the natural resources out of Tibet. Britain also built such infrastructure in its colonies for exact same reasons.

China has completely swamped Tibet with overflow of Chinese people who look down on native Tibetans, take away all well paying jobs and positions of power and force native populations to lose their own culture and adopt Chinese culture instead. There is virtually no differences between British colonization and Chinese occupation of Tibet. Thanks to toothless world leadership, Chinese economy and little importance of Tibet as country, all these is being ignored and accepted. This is all documented in tremendous details. How can you deny this? Are you in China and unable to access all these material?

Did you knew that China does not allow foreigners to go to Tibet unless they get "special permit"? And you know who would never get "special permit"? Journalists! They don't even want others to know how bad things are anymore like in North Korea. Just munch on that fact for a second.
The wealthiest people here in the UK tend to come from families who were given estates by the crown in the 14th and 15th centuries. That saying may be true in China, but it isn't universal.
The book "Digital Image Warping" by George Wolberg[0] goes into these tricks in great detail, as well as choices for the resampling filter.

Alternative hypothesis, for the sake of example -

Someone's just really be into practical jokes. Possibly the neighbor whose alarm keeps going off, or possibly a third-party who found an easy way to trigger the alarm.

It is a matter of appearance. I know how databases work, I am a developer myself. The point in was making is that apparently Spotify is very comfortable with the image of them looking through their customer's data and use it whichever way they find fun/profitable. I expect them to analyse listening behaviour in order to recommend certain sponsored content, I expect them to connect my listening to other's listening in order to recommend music to me, I expect them to use my listening behaviour in order to sell insights to the music industry on how to sell better to people with similar music preferences. What I did not expect however is that they would sift through my playlist titles in order to find out whether there is something embarrassing in there for them to use in their advertisements.

What is next?

saving is a way of trusting tomorrow's generation to repay you for work you did today. If tomorrow's generation don't feel part of that society then why do they owe you a living? You're only as valuable as how productive you are today, your savings are worthless.

However under your assertion, you are already massively discouraging productivity, by taxing it so high.

However rather than taxing monetary wealth via inflation (which targets those who can't hide their wealth in other assets), you tax the assets that are impossible to avoid, namely copyright protection (charge an exponential fee to keep the work in copyright) and land (if you own $10m of land, and your neighbour owes $100k, you should be paying 100 times more for the upkeep of that land, and you can't hide that off shore).

This means tax on dividends goes to zero, tax on productivity goes to zero, and it encourages people to invest and work, not sit there collecting money from just being rich.

The bit extreme extension to this is that if society had strong enough safety nets for everyone, nobody would need savings at all.
