I suppose, but also we have a lot more international wealth buying up real estate which often times goes under used.

With globalized, unrestricted open markets we get the new international wealthy buying real estate across borders which competes against local buyers.

So, in SF and Vancouver you're not only competing against transplants from the Midwest but with wealthy investors from China, India, and other countries where people for different reasons want to get their money out of their countries.

Which also meant you could do a lot of optimisations - like moving the stack pointer to point to the display memory area and using 'push' to blit a chunk of image data to screen which was quicker than using an 'ld' loop.

Also having polymorphic functions where you could write over a couple of bytes to make the function behave differently at runtime - saving code memory space - and learning the hex for most of the common opcodes at same time.

In a way, it already has with the 1984 sequel "2010: The year we make contact". That was a fairly mediocre film which simply didn't capture any of the wonder of 2001.

2001 is what it is. Simultaneously an auteur film, a vision of the future from the past, and fine science fiction.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but truly great films even from the distant past (like Nosferatu) can be appreciated today-- in spite of poor special-effects. On the other hand, re-makes (or sequels) are a mixed bag. The Blade runner remake/sequel was stunning but just doesn't have the gritty magic of the original. Similarly with Solaris or even The Terminator for that matter.

It's surprising that this was written in 2007. This article just perpetuates the tired old myth that there is something special about set theory... At its heart, set theory allows us to encode certain mathematical structures more or less naturally, but things are not "made out of sets".

For example, the real numbers are not sets in the same sense that "the map is not the territory". Sets allow us to encode real numbers, but this encoding is mostly arbitrary. Is 3 an element of pi? If pi truly is a set, then this is a sensible question to ask, since sets are defined by their members. However, there is evidently an abstract concept of "real numbers" which exists without mentioning the elements of a real number. The technical reflection of this dilemma is the fact that in set theory there are multiple isomorphic copies of "the complete archimedean ordered field" which are all different as sets.

This is one reason why type theory is superior to set theory. In type theory we can actually capture the abstract concept of real number and work with it, instead of always working with an encoding. This might not matter so much for something as simple as a real number, but it matters a lot when you talk about more complicated structures.

This is interesting to me as I've been trying to read books that I couldn't get into in high school like "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451" and I had to force myself through both because the interest wasn't there. I will say that 1984 was more interesting to me because of the parallels in the world today (and i'm sure every generation sees the parallels which makes it such a classic), but I didn't feel it was an entertaining read. The book within the book section was torture for me.

Yeah, no.

You are correct that the manual section 2 is "for" system calls, but in practice today these are just the lowest level of the C library, and not the actual system calls.

My copy of the clone(2) manual page hints at this by commenting
/* For the prototype of the raw system call, see NOTES */

and more explicitly in its body text by saying "The main text describes the wrapper function; the differences for the raw system call are described toward the end of this page."

Other modern stuff is the same way, the section 2 documentation is describing what an ordinary C programmer needs to know, but if you're say, implementing the C standard library or writing a compiler for a language that runs on the bare metal you need to read the kernel documentation which is not provided as manual pages.
What it looks like to promote a pre-revenue side project without an audience
Investigative Data: Individuals associated with DHS OIG
investigations from 2002 through 2014, which includes
subjects, witnesses and complainants who were both DHS
employees and non-DHS employees. The PII contained in this
database varies for each individual depending on the
documentation and evidence collected for a given case.
Information contained in this database could include names,
Social Security numbers, alien registration numbers, dates
of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and
personal information provided in interviews with DHS OIG
investigative agents.

Most of that is business-as-usual for a DB leak, but there's something that catches my eye:

personal information provided in interviews with DHS OIG
investigative agents.

Would this only be information provided by people about themselves, or does the inclusion of "subjects of investigations" mean that this is a colossal dump of life-ruining hearsay that could destroy anyone that DHS has ever touched?

Speaking of which, this bit at the end disgusts me:

What is DHS doing to better secure employees’ PII?

Why does this read as anything other than "What is DHS doing to better secure american citizens' PII"? DHS employees aren't the only people affected by this. I'd expect "subjects, witnesses and complainants of DHS investigations" to number in the millions.

> The problem is that you're already trusting Apple by buying their system which is inherently closed.

What? Perhaps we have different definitions of a closed system.

I mean, even if you buy a Librium you're still getting a "closed" system because there are binary blobs such as microcode updates that run on it.

The only way you can have a 100% open system is if it's open source hardware and something like RISCV (IMHO).

Anyway, with a datasheet for the motherboard components there's a reasonable chance that someone could get coreboot working on the board. Without datasheets, it's nearly impossible to replace the system firmware with a different implementation.

> macOS is a completely closed OS with literally zero information about how these discrete chips may be used.

I think Apple is still releasing the XNU source, so you should be able to glean some information about the device functionality from the kernel module source code (assuming that is also published). [1]

> The datasheet provides you with the API to the hardware, but you have no idea how Apple would be using the microphone for example - whether it is T2 chip or Realtek.

So what? I never said I wanted to know how macOS is using the microphone.

> GP's argument about "closed system" is moot when you're talking about using an inherently closed system - meaning, OS + Hardware.

No, it's moot for your specific definition of a closed system. My definition of a "closed system" differs from yours.

> Also datasheets are what Realtek, for example, wants to publicize. How would you know if there is additional functionality built into the controller for backdoors, etc. that is deliberately left out of the datasheet?

You don't. Invest in tin-foil hat manufacturers.

> I understand your point completely - I agree that having datasheets publicly available certainly provides a level of transparency.

From your response I don't get the impression that you understand my point at all.

My point was that Apple is replacing standard components used in PC designs since decades with a black box and not publishing a data sheet.

I didn't argue that macOS was open. I didn't claim Apple should provide the VHDL files of the T2. I just said, if they're going to replace components with public datasheets with a magical black box lacking any public datasheet, I don't like that.

My comment was specifically about how lacking a datasheet for the T2 is going to make using the computer with Linux (and without forcing the T2 into "terribly insecure" mode) much more difficult.

I don't think giving in a New Star Trek makeover would do any good. The whole movie only makes sense in its time. If we made a film kinda like it now with our own ideas of what the tech should be like and how the future would look, we'd make a whole different film, not just add holographic displays or something. Story, themes, the texture of the film, it'd all be significantly different. The tech in the film is part of the perspective from which it was made, so IMO trying to update it is pointless at best and harmful at worst. I don't think that's true for all movies, but for 2001 I think it is.

Elseiver has "prestige". What that means is that some of their journals have become the standard destinations to publish at. It's a vicious cycle, to get acknowledged (and perhaps promoted etc) you need to publish in the locations accepted by the people senior to you, then you get sucked in and apply it to the next batch. It would require a massive collective effort to change it, and in some sense this is exactly that. Note something similar happened in CS where there is a successful free journal now, open access and most people put up papers on Arxiv. This was caused by a similar revolt by major universities.

Universities are not a monolith, they are composed of many independent individuals. It is difficult to convince young researchers (PhD students, Post-Docs, Assistant professors) to "gamble" their future by publishing in new journals. It requires some push from the top, e.g. NSF making it mandatory to publish results from their grants in open access journals.

I have no idea what the reasons are for opposing the Brisbane development, and I highly doubt you (or the state legislature) does either. It sounds like there are reasonable arguments that the city will lose on tax income [1], which is bad, and seems like something the state could actually fix, instead of attempting to engage in central planning.

If there are legitimate local concerns over a development, the state shouldn't be allowed to override them just because Scott Weiner thinks there should be more development (and no, invoking "NIMBYism" isn't a counterargument).

The three data sources you mention are kept in the browser process (which is the privileged singleton process that spawns the sandboxed child processes that actually parse and execute web content). However the child processes can query and mutate them (to support e.g document.cookie). Those JS apis do work in iframes. In your example, we would create a facebook.com subframe process separate from the foo.com process for the main document.

You can see your example in action by enabling site isolation, visiting a page with a FB like button, and opening Chrome's task manager. You can even kill the subframe process, and it shouldn't take down the whole tab.
And it's unrealistic to expect that assistance to prevent breaches, especially when there are hundreds of government agencies separately running insecure legacy systems. The USDS/18F has on the order of < 100 employees AFAIK. That is hardly enough manpower to secure the systems of every government agency.
> Note that Common Lisp has type declarations, which can move type errors from run-time to compile-time.

This is a dangerous assumption. The standard does not require that Common Lisp type declarations cause the compiler to detect type inconsistencies (although some implementations might be smart enough to do so in some cases). CL type declarations tell the compiler it can remove runtime checks. They are performance optimizations. If anything they decrease type safety.
I think you're trying to solve two problems:

1. Single-Sign On (SSO) - Log in once for access to many services. SaaS with SAML and OpenID Connect support are ideal in this space, but services without support can be used with a browser plugin

2. User/Lifecycle Mgmt - CRUD operations for users. SCIM support is ideal in this space, but many companies offer services beyond simple CRUD using bespoke APIs. Without support for either, it's very difficult to integrate a service. The bespoke APIs mean that you'll see varying depths of integration across services. For example, one service may allow you to control whether a user is in a group in Dropbox, while another won't.

There are several companies in this space (known as IDaaS), so I'll leave the Googling to you. Of those, some do User Mgmt. I'm not aware of any companies that do User Mgmt without SSO
