There is a standardized format: it's called PDF. Everything else is total crap. (And legal technology that doesn't grok PDF is by consequence total crap.) Everything else doesn't do what a universal standardized legal document format needs to do. Legal information systems have to be able to handle everything from briefs prepared by attorneys, to copies of documents that only ever existed in hardcopy, such as wills, birth certificates, etc., to scanned-in copies of pleadings filed on paper by tenants getting kicked out of their apartments. PDF handles this all marvelously, and Word integrates reasonably well with PDF.
Well, I'd be lying if I suggested I had an overabundance of respect for large consultancies, but actually I don't think it's so simple in either direction.

Consultancies mis-sell and misrepresent their services, whilst public service/government scopes the project poorly and is more than happy to buy into the fantasy. Every project is different so this is still an oversimplification.

Nevertheless, when an enterprise IT service provider is involved in a project it's often a red flag on successful delivery. Whether that's correlation or causation is up for debate.
Karl Marx:

"A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation. Mr. Cantillon seems, upon this account, to suppose that the lowest species of common labourers must everywhere earn at least double their own maintenance, in order that one with another they may be enabled to bring up two children; the labour of the wife, on account of her necessary attendance on the children, being supposed no more than sufficient to provide for herself. But one half the children born, it is computed, die before the age of manhood. The poorest labourers, therefore, according to this account, must, one with another, attempt to rear at least four children, in order that two may have an equal chance of living to that age. But the necessary maintenance of four children, it is supposed, may be nearly equal to that of one man. The labour of an able-bodied slave, the same author adds, is computed to be worth double his maintenance; and that of the meanest labourer, he thinks, cannot be worth less than that of an ablebodied slave. Thus far at least seems certain, that, in order to bring up a family, the labour of the husband and wife together must, even in the lowest species of common labour, be able to earn something more than what is precisely necessary for their own maintenance; but in what proportion, whether in that above mentioned, or in any other, I shall not take upon me to determine."

I'm not sure it is clickbait. Previously, typing things into Google would result in a list of webpages that matched the phrase you typed in, with various ambiguity around that to allow for flexibility.

Now it doesn't do that, by default. Yeah, there's button to do it, so it's not like anybody can't access the results anymore. But certainly from the perspective of the first experience, this is a huge change.

Assuming whatever A/B-style test is currently running is "successful", it would be reasonable to assume that this feature would be rolled out to other queries where Google assumes users want an answer to a specific question. That's something that could have a significant impact on the web generally, given Google's dominant position.
Your epigenetic state very much starts off inherited from your parents. Also, it's not just a gene switch, and in fact that probably is it's least relevant role, if any. Rather, and besides being a hereditary factor, it determines the structure/packing of your nucleosomes, and therefore determines the integrity of your cell as a whole, not just your gene expression levels.
This is better than nothing, but the fact that it's only _client side applications_ means that this is doesn't add much security for PIA users.

I appreciate the feedback. Maybe my approach could have left out the claim of Lisp == Common Lisp, though I still am amused (as I mention near the end of my later comment) and slightly bothered that such a diverse set of languages (Python too, it's sometimes called an acceptable Lisp) can get called "Lisps" or "dialects of" or "members of the family" rather than an explicitly vague "Lisp-like".

The main direction I was coming from though was that ~10 years ago I was just like the OP, I had read some of SICP and PG's essays and thought I knew Lisp, but no, I just knew a minimal subset of Scheme. Very pretty (https://www.thejach.com/imgs/lisp_parens.png), learned some neat things, but didn't pursue it in favor of practical workhorses like Python et al. I went with the "learn Lisp for the side effects of learning it but don't ever use it" crowd, but I never learned Lisp. It wasn't until much later that I found out Common Lisp was way more than just an ugly syntax change on Scheme that required #' in front of function names. So the features I listed in my comment are really a subset (but a strong one) of the features that would have convinced me ~10 years ago to take a much closer look into actually using Lisp and recognizing I learned something very different.

Wait, so that solution is essentially just trusting a few members of the community to decide what everyone's Bitcoin balance is? (Pick a few people to sign the UXTO and just trust their signatures?)

I'm kinda surprised you consider the dev's rejection of that idea to be "nonsensical". Seems perfectly sensible to me that they wouldn't want to grant that kind of authority to any particular set of individuals. In particular, that method is most certainly _not_ "a trustless way" of distributing the UXTO.

Hopefully whatever solution the BCH devs are working on isn't anything like that...

Testing via software fault injection is quite reasonable if you introduce all the necessary cases. What SQLite tests for is more than most databases do!

There aren't really build any special mechanisms besides fsync/msync if the database is built on top of a filesystem. You have to tell the filesystem to make it's metadata consistent as well.

Writing to a raw disk you might do something different. I don't have much experience with that as there isn't a huge amount to be gained. It's still going to look and work fairly similarly as you are writing your data to the disk and then emitting a write barrier to make all prior writes durable.

If a disk lies about what data is durable there is no way to work around it from inside the database. If you can't durably store data you can't acknowledge to clients the data is durably stored. You can YOLO and build structures that probably won't get corrupted in practice, but that's no way to live life.

I really want to learn and use Rust, but just lack the motivation, especially when APIs turn out to be incomplete - I think the last one I saw was multicast not allowing me to set the send interface.

We can't really know, since we don't have something to compare it to. Only they know what the performance could have been if the fix were not implemented in silicon, and they won't be releasing new versions of old chips that ONLY have this hardware fix, so we will never be able to compare the two. Only they will ever know, however if we see comparable or worse performance (or just barely better) in these new chips then we can know that there was some performance hit.
There are a handful of other valid uses, but there are many invalid ones. I recall, a couple of years ago, hearing about a Rails vulnerability caused by some API method calling 'eval' on one of its arguments if it happened to be a string, just as a convenience for some use case. The fact that it did so wasn't even documented. I was left with the impression that most programmers don't understand how to use 'eval', or rather, how and why not to use it.

I don’t understand this mentality. Every sufficiently large collection of people in the history of the world has had taxation.

It is unreasonable to consider taxation theft.

Another nice thing about governments is that they do not deal in monetary damages but in media fallout- so something loud (collapse of a billion dollar project) is worser to them, then silently going over budget because additional points appear on the list.

WAL mode also relies on fsync to persist data to disk, so it has the same failure mode if fsync is not working as advertised.

I briefly looked at the link you posted and it appears they also do fault injection/simulation rather than directly unplugging power or crashing the OS, so their tests won't catch disk controller problems.
> No way I'd buy a brand new computer today with a known flawed/suboptimal CPU

I think at some point you have to give up on the notion that most things will (or even can) ever be perfectly optimal. Whether it's performance, security, reliability, or anything else, everything is flawed in one way or another... it's just a question of how relevant the flaws are for your use cases. In this case I'm not too worried until I hear about an actual Spectre-based attack carried out against a random user in the wild.

Historically Slovakia gets lumped with Eastern Europe in popular perception - Slovakia is nothing like Romania, the Ukraine, Albania or even Poland in turning out petty criminals or promiscuous online fraudsters. Not to forget Western Europe, France has a far more unhealthy work culture and fraud at work and as a way of living is far more acceptable than in Slovakia. Germany and Austria tend to value probity far more highly than the Mediterranean countries. Hundreds of years of late Roman Empire corruption left an undying footprint.

This attitude is shot through the whole piece (essentializing not just Europeans but also Indians), and it's weird and creepy.

No we don't, and I don't think we ever have. In fact, we openly admit that someone can come and take your lunch. What we do is say that, while someone can come and take your lunch, that person also has an incentive to avoid punishment.
