How do you feel about LINQ[0] (specifically, the query expression syntax) as an alternative to the query builders that you mention? From reading this page[1], I'd guess that the query expression syntax compiles down to the same code that the method-based syntax does.

I think it looks great, but I've never had a chance to actually use it. None of the languages that I use regularly have anything even close to LINQ's query expression syntax.

"Excited, we presented our prototype to a small number of non-programmers and sat back to watch the magic. To our horror, not a single one of them could figure out what the simple example program did or how it worked, nor could they produce any useful programs themselves." (From the article linked above).

As a programmer, I had the same reaction, actually.
Having been a programmer for 20 years I have no idea why so many developers are so committed to Vim (other than it is available almost everywhere, which is helpful when doing things on a remote server).

I'm probably going to get down-voted to hell for this opinion here but it's literally the least productive, least intuitive, and most frustrating editor I've used.

But "learning curve" it's advocates cry! The time I have to spend getting up to speed with vim is better used actually programming, not to mention the people I know who are advanced users don't appear to code any faster than I do. A couple of occasionally used text operations are faster perhaps (though in modern editors it's debatable) but it appears to not have much cumulative effect.

As far as I can tell the only reason developers use vim is because developers use vim. It's a tautological tool.
Government projects are about as efficient as similarly-sized projects in the private sector. You just never hear about private company’s failures because the public has less of a stake in it. Journalists focus on people wasting your money.

The laws requiring publication of bidding documents and damning reports on cost overruns are also mostly specific to public projects. Who knows how much money Apple invested in self-driving technology? Try sending a Freedom of Information Act request to Uber inquiring on their self-driving car efforts.
Yes, the report you'd hope to be hearing from Uber is along the lines of "0.2 seconds after the pedestrian entered the travel lane the automated system identified her as a hazard and initiated an avoidance maneuver. Despite braking and beginning to swerve away, the car impacted the pedestrian 1.2 seconds later." Thats the promise the automated vehicle people are selling. But in this case it seems the car was clueless.
I don't think it's fair to put the blame on the company because users are naive enough to think that candy is perfectly fine and healthy to eat. People aren't clueless to the idea that companies are selling their information and their behavior is constantly be tracked. Was it Facebook's responsibility to display to show "Are you REALLY SURE you want to agree to this?"

If it already warned them prior to taking the quiz and they still said yes, I don't understand how they shouldn't be held accountable for this too.

>There is of course, some effect but it's relatively minor for the middle class

This was my only point, because low and middle class markets and income are continuous spectra, and displacement at the base puts pressure on the rest of the continuum. People don't typically end up homeless because of a couple percent increase in rent, they find a way to pay it. Now, the exact quantitative effect on pricing throughout the market is something that neither of us can likely provide.

>Your analysis leaves out a bunch of realities...outside these areas.

And what happens when these areas fill up and start to influence surrounding neighborhoods? What about the increased strain on infrastructure, including roads, schools, police, fire, etc, especially by those who do not pay taxes?

What about the effect on markets cause by middle income flight post spillover, when these growing low income neighborhoods bring with them crime and other undesirable activity?

No amount of arguing over left out "realities" changes the simple fact that more people create increased local demand in housing starved locales, which puts upward pressure on all markets, although of course the derivative of income pressure vs population decreases with increasing housing prices.

>People tend to get the best they can afford

"Best" is highly subjective and dependent entirely on market rates. People will pay more for less if the whole market is inflated by pressure from below.

To be clear, I am not interested in blaming immigrants, legal or otherwise, for any of societies problems. I am simply arguing that more people>increased demand>higher price.

The argument is that even if you give information to a company willingly, they should not be able to do whatever the hell they want with it. We have accepted this maxim for certain pieces of information already, I don't see why it can't apply to other information too.

If you think FB can do no wrong since we willingly give them this information, what do you feel about HIPAA? Why is it okay for FB to sell data I willingly give them but a doctor can't? If the answer is "one is illegal, the other isn't", then you aren't arguing against the idea of it being made illegal, just that we don't currently have a law saying they can't do it. Laws change though.

In 1984 I visited NTT's 5th generation effort (and later worked at MCC, featured prominently in the article).

At the time I had a bitmapped display on my desk which I connected to a dedicated Lisp machine (Dorado). At the 5Gen office there was a row of desks with shared character terminals (one for every two developers) connected to the workhorse PDP-10 (same machine we used for research in the USA). The guy I was visiting was glad he only had to share the terminal with one other person. It was my first introduction to the blue collar status of programmers in Japan -- but without the respect that, say, a machinist gets in the US. It seemed pretty unlikely they'd have the opportunity to innovate.

The MCC response wasn't much better (perhaps the nearby Sematch did better? I don't know). It was also stupid and bureaucratic and although they did recruit a bunch of very smart folks from US and Mexican universities, I never saw much impact either (though I had two symbolics 3600s terminals on my desk). I don't think it's a government issue -- these multi-company collaborations (Taligent, Itanium, even Power) rarely come to much.

Of course companies can work together -- standards organizations and joint development projects are common. But IMHO a diffuse "consortium" really has no reason to exist beyond its own existence.
Even if they went all the way up to the ISS's orbit (which would be useless both because it's a test flight and because they would be going the wrong direction), the difference between going in a western or eastern orbit is a ~10% difference in delta-v requirements.

> Was this a breach in trust to Facebook users? I think undoubtedly yes.

What's interesting about this is the fact that the same data is shared with many third-parties, with proper "consent", and users not understanding what's really happening. Calling this a "breach" has the slight unintended side-effect in the public by promoting the idea that this company received a different dataset than other partners, which is not the case.

I believe in judging based on the facts in evidence rather than making assumptions about what happened.

CA acquired data from a third party which did not have permission to give CA the data. The Obama campaign did not do that.

Facebook required the third party (Dr. Kogan) to certify that the data had been destroyed. Dr. Kogan certified that the data had been destroyed, but did not do so. The Obama campaign did not do that.

These facts support the conclusion that nobody should have access to this kind of data, including the Obama campaign. They do not support the conclusion that the Obama campaign did the same thing as CA.

I also don't think you've provided evidence that the Obama campaign still has the data. If I've missed that please let me know.

I also noticed that you are conflating the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. If you have evidence that the Obama campaign shared this data with the Democratic Party, you should also share that.

I think you make a great point here: we absolutely need a population that thinks more critically before they act, whether it's voting or signing up for a service or purchasing a product.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how realistic that is. I think people just don't want to have to critically think all the time, and it's unrealistic to expect every member of the population to exert constant vigilance against ill will. There are simply too many forces trying to manipulate us and get our attention to expect every person to never mess up ever.

This is where the government steps in. Expect companies to be reasonably transparent about their intentions (signing up for Facebook definitely did not give me adequate warning a decade ago about their intentions with my data, and subsequent changes in their plans were not adequately expressed to me as a user), and reasonably cautious in their expansion (I signed up for Facebook at the age of 12, which is technically against Facebook's TOS. They didn't put enough effort into policing those TOS to kick me off the site at the age of 12, and I certainly wasn't mature enough to understand the breadth of Facebook's TOS. Unfortunately I don't think many non-lawyers are equipped to understand the true meaning of signing up for Facebook, which... is it's own problem).

Basically we need these corporations to be better citizens than then currently are, which shouldn't be terribly hard since they're currently downright psychopathic citizens, exploiting the law and their large workforces to manipulate other citizens at every turn. In a better world than our own, corporations would actually be model citizens, but that's probably not realistic in the capitalist system. And we also need the government to do its job better, by punishing corporations that act selfishly so that others actually have an incentive to behave well.

Static analysis tools can be used to reduce errors. Just as Software Dev, Test, Bug tracking and Release processes are also good.

A step further is the FDA's MDR program - Medical Device Reporting - https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/def... - where medical device manufacturers are required to report to the FDA when there are problems with their devices. Also, users of medical devices (doctors, hospitals, nurses, patients, etc) can file a report anytime. The FDA then selectively investigates.

But sometimes the FDA is too slow, superbugs in Duodenum Scopes is a good example: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-superbug-fda/exclusiv...

An analog to this problem is scientific researchers not publishing failed studies. Or not publishing 100% of the raw data for successful studies for further analysis (finding bias removing selective sampling errors, etc). https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/why-scientis... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science_data

Here's a new idea: every single product (software, hardware etc) has a way for anyone to file bugs or design requests or upload videos of scenarios where the design fails. The result would be rapidly accelerating cycles of product feedback loops and with techs like 3D printing, mass customization of devices.

A concrete example is an endoscope: http://www.genesis.net.au/~ajs/projects/medical_physics/endo... most are built to be held in the left hand as the right hand is reserved for more dextrous work. But what about left handed people? They need a flipped endoscopic design. Also, the button placements are for the size and spacing of men's hands. What about women surgeons? The buttons are placed uncomfortably far away. https://www.amazon.com/Measure-Man-Woman-Factors-Design/dp/0...

A website that collected feedback like this for endoscopes could be used to make sub product lines for lefty's and button placements for smaller hands. And accelerate product cycle times of feedback to new product in the market from 24 months to 5 months.

Man it's sad to see them go. I WISH Amazon would buy them and open them back up as toy stores, but that's a pipe dream.

I'm something of a toy collector, and I feel like much more could have been done to save Toys R Us. I used to go to the Toys R Us in Chicago (the only one) every once in a while, when the mood struck me. They always seemed to get new releases far too late, and it was always dead quiet, and empty even on what should have been peak hours. I eventually gave up on them and bought everything online, (from Amazon, most of the time) as they rarely even had what I was looking for when I bothered to make the trip.

There are only like... 3 other toy stores in the city that carry collector-focused lines, and they are smaller, independent stores that manage to stay in business by trading in both new releases and older toys, both online (through ebay) and in their brick-and-mortar locations.
Mullvad does that.

The problem is that the alternatives are even worse. I'm with Deutsche bank, and I fear the stress levels that I get every time I have to do anything with them. They send paper letters for anything. Their login is horrendous, but so is everything inside it (easily 90's look and feel). I cannot get transactions older than 3 months. Customer service (in German, of course; not even in Berlin it's easy to get someone to speak EN) is the worst, even for DE standards. They make sure you feel mistreated, because they only care about big corp accounts. I have a business account that produces some serious revenue for them and they still treat me like I'm bothering them.

I don't use N26 because they don't have business accounts, but I would if they did.
Literate Programming as put forth by Knuth always involved a "tangle" process in which source code and documentation is formatted into a literate document. This is due to the forced order of statements compilers impose on most programming languages.

What was different in Eve was that the entire language was unordered, and thus you don't need a tool-chain to read literate source -- the raw source itself is literate.
Yeah what's up with that? It reads like a requirement written to be fulfilled by a specific vendor with an already identified offering.
