Market does not. CEOs are incentivized to please the markets and thus reduce investing at some point to prepare to exercise their stock options and sell. (There is plenty of discussion on what the exercise date should be and some people are pushing beyond 4 years for that reason.)

A lot of companies set a 4 year window for their CEOs. Funneling capital into research, displeases stock holders, as you show reduced earnings. Observe that markets care about steady earning growth; catching these things before they happen in general will not earn you points. That is a sad part of human psychology. Think as a metaphor that an average manager will ask how many bugs did this guy fix and not how many bugs and security issues did this guy caught or saved us from.

(See freaking Equifax -- https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/efx -- they should have been out of business [my personal opinion]. Their stock price is fine. The only mistake of the CEO as far as SEC is concerned is he used inside information and sold.)

Tail calls aren't always just used for some simple iteration. For example, you could have several mutually recursive functions calling each other in tail position. If you wanted to turn that into a loop, you'd have to roll all those functions into a single loop body, which would be made even less elegant due to the lack of goto statement. (TCO essentially turns a call into a goto whenever possible.)
I think it's better to front load it. At the back end people have the option to dispose of things improperly.

Also, I don't think we include enough externalities in the price if things.

Much conflation of size and complexity, here, once again. And you seem to merely elide my points. The size of the Roman army allowed a remarkable degree of standardization in the tools of war, and training. That's not complexity.

Argument by authority isn't fallacious in this instance.

If you are powerful and interconnected with government then the way that you use political terms has a large impact on their meaning.

One of the most powerful think-tanks in the world uses the term this way. That has a real world impact.

Given this, your insistence that "in politics and academics this rehabilitation is not known about" is absurd.

You are right that millions of people probably have no idea or still have a negative opinion of globalisation, etc, however I do not think that this is mutually exclusive with it being rehabilitated in some circles and notably so.

/r/neoliberal holds that particular regulatory and redistribution schemes have costs and benefits, and favors
market interventions to the extent that they contribute to a technocratic optimization of general welfare. This alienates both those who dogmatically oppose any intervention in the economy, and those who support interventions which are more emotionally satisfying than effective.

This doesn't fit neatly under any other label as far as I can tell, least of all "neoliberal." It's most closely aligned with centre-left policy, though from a very different value system (more utilitarian than about uniting the working class against their evil overlords).

Government Spending and Radical Transparency
After reading through Joël Valenzuela's post called What Many “Privacy Coins” Fundamentally Misunderstand About Satoshi’s Vision on the Dash Force News website (https://www.dashforcenews.com/what-many-privacy-coins-fundamentally-misunderstand-about-satoshis-vision/), I began to think about what it would mean to the citizens of a nation if they had the ability to audit where the tax dollars for the nation are being spent. I understand the necessity for paying taxes, and I am very pleased when I see these tax dollars being used to maintain our roads, clean our parks, and build new schools for our children. I can clearly see where the tax dollars are being spent, but I have a very difficult time gathering how much was spent on each of these projects. Being able to audit my local government's spending in real-time would be a huge step-forward in transparency as I personally do not trust the monthly, quarterly, and annual reports the government officials are preparing. I welcome the day when our governments move toward an online radical transparency reporting model to assist in sharing these details with us. After all, they already expect it from us in one form or another. If we begin to be more radically transparent with each other as well as the government, would our governments follow our lead?

You're not entirely wrong in that there is a tongue-in-cheek aspect. However there is also a serious tone and shared set of beliefs.

Thankfully, neither are the problems that society is faced with.

It turns out, you don't actually need to! Some problems are faced by a subset of a society, and often that subset are most interested in solving them.
> They wouldn't be as profitable, sure. Neither would Stripe.

It shouldn't even affect Stripe all that much. The CC fees are just a pass-through expense for them; their product is the infrastructure value-add, which AFAIK nobody is suggesting needs to be price-regulated.

One of the reasons the Federal Reserve was created was to eliminate rent-seeking by banks in check clearing. (The previous system was that banks would clear checks directly among each other, leading to abuses where banks would charge exorbitant fees to other banks.) I'd argue credit/debit cards are just as important today as checks were in 1913. A functioning economy requires a functioning payment system.

Apple is “allowed” to do whatever they choose but their decisions are likely constrained by the reality of organizing so many complex products.

Not necessarily the wrong strategy or even a bad strategy. If there are enough people out there willing to pay in money and effort to switch ecosystems, there is space in the market for a smartphone with more simplicity and attention to detail.

If not, which I think is most likely, this is just what we’re stuck with.

The GDPR doesn't use an expectation-of-privacy standard. Personal data is not just an explicit disclosure of your name and address, it's anything that can be used to identify you. Writing style and the sum total of comments indicating your experiences and the cities and organizations you've been attached to certainly fit that standard.
To be clear, when I say GDPR doesn’t apply. I’m taking about information requests (the topic of the linked article).

The data protection part of GDPR of course applies to all PII regardless of how it’s stored. But that part is not new in GDPR, the EU has had strong data protection laws for a while. (Even if people didn’t talk about it)

I think that one of the main issue that Stack Overflow is facing right now is directly related to their karma / points system. Those points can (and are) be used as a social proof of your programming abilities, which can be leveraged in a CV. With that in mind, the goal can be to maximize the number of points by spending the minimum time possible, thus looking for quick and easy questions.

I am both an "asker" and an "answerer" on SO.

When I have time, as an "answerer" it's really difficult to look past trivial questions and to provide insights on more complex questions where :

- The time needed to provide an insightful answer is higher

- The question is so precise and focused that few users will benefit from it, so the potential upvotes are low as well

As such, the potential karma per second I can get from those value-adding question is quite low. It's much easier to correct a comparatively simple null-pointer-reference in a simple piece of code.

As an asker, I have the opposite trouble : my question are usually pretty focused on a specific and complex area. I do not post on SO unless I really have tried a lot of different options.

I spend a lot of time articulating the question, posting as much detail as possible, and documenting what was tried and what did / did not work. I usually get 0 answer since the question needs the answerer to spend quite a bit of time to sully understand the issue I am facing, and needs expertise to provide an answer.

As an answerer, I have nearly stopped spending time on SO because I have a hard time providing actual value.
As an asker, I have nearly stopped spending time on SO because I have a hard time getting value out of it.

I do not have a solution for this issue, but one solution would be to skew the karma system to encourage user to answer complex, focused, and difficult questions.
A lot of people will lie all the time. Usually for emotional reasons. (insecurity, fear, etc). Most people don't lie specifically to manipulate, but rather to protect themselves from a more uncomfortable situation.

This also happens with personality-disordered people (particularly, Narcissists, and especially the Borderline PD people I know . . . they SEEM manipulative, and they technically are, but they're manipulating for a reason that's usually ego-defensive).

Psychopaths, on the other hand, will lie for no damn reason at all that makes any sense to a sane person.

I have a very dear friend who has grappled with ADHD his entire life. A few years ago, we were talking on the phone when I asked him what the most troubling aspect of ADHD is for him, and his response was far different than what I was anticipating. For him, the one aspect that has been most debilitating is the constant self-doubt, self-loathing, and feelings of worthlessness that accompany.

In a world where ADHD is viewed as a novelty disorder, stimulant abuse remains largely unchecked, and societal stigmas only serve to marginalize those afflicted, it's easy to understand why someone might feel this way.
But then what do they do? Cross their fingers and wait for some random researchers to take an interest in their product? Sure, if the product becomes popular then it might attract research, but what if barely anyone tries your product because there's no research on it? Am I missing something or is this a catch-22?

I used to think it was corrupt for companies to sponsor research on their own products. Then one day it occurred to me: who else is going to care about a product (especially one that's relatively unknown) more than the company trying to sell it?

This is utter BS. It relies on bad analogies and not physical reality. The example given (copper) is absurd; recycling implies using energy (and disposal of waste heat), therefore you substitute a resource (copper ore) for another (used copper and energy). The analysis supposes that every resource is substitutable (they aren't), and that energy is infinite (it isn't).

>it's a distinction without a difference

Never looked at it that way. With inheritance, you're essentially re-using behavior that treats like things with like properties in a similar way. With interfaces, you are providing unique, black-boxed behavior that conforms to an operational specification.

Interfaces are also more externalized. They are intended for consumption from outside of any particular class hierarchy, and don't necessarily represent like things nor operate on the internal properties of a particular class or hierarchy.

OTOH, consider the use of inheritance wherein a major operation or algo is implemented and exposed via a public method on an abstract base class, but one or more type-specific abstract methods on which the algo depends is implemented by subclasses in a type-specific way. This more "inverted" structure probably better highlights a distinction with a real difference. Your subclasses are inheriting major behaviors and "tweaking" the behavior as needed.

You could probably pull this off with interfaces, but it's more convoluted. You'd have one class with several external classes that implement some interface and have reduced access to properties of the original class. So, you may now have to expose properties that you'd otherwise prefer not to. And, you have to manage instantiation of the appropriate interface-implementing classes.

>it's entirely possible to "inherit" a base class without inheriting a single bit of information

Sure, you can override every method in a base class, essentially rendering it not inheritance. But, you could also not extend anything at all and opt not to use interfaces or any other OO-construct. It comes down to design.

I think part of the stigma is that ADHD is very hard to diagnose. And even people without ADHD can yield benefits from taking stimulants. For years, it was perpetuated that these drugs calm kids with ADHD down, but have a different effect on health people. Actually, the drugs do exactly the same thing in people whether they are hyperactive, have problems paying attention, or are healthy. They improve focus by increasing the levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the prefrontal cortex, the front part of the brain that regulates attention and behavior. Basically, light that up and everything else gets controlled. But your heart still races.

To get a little technical, here's an article from Neuropsychopharmacology:

"For years, it was assumed that stimulants had paradoxical calming effects in ADHD patients, whereas stimulating 'normal' individuals and producing locomotor activation in rats. It is now known that low doses of stimulants focus attention and improve executive function in both normal and ADHD subjects. Furthermore, the seminal work of Kuczenski and Segal showed that low, oral doses of methylphenidate reduce locomotor activity in rats as well."

Often you hear that if stimulants like Ritalin, Vyvanse, or Adderall help people stay calm, that means that they must have ADHD. This isn't true. These drugs will help anyone focus and pay attention. Giving stimulants to a kid with ADHD is more like giving a child with a learning disability more time on a test -- and advantage that might help anybody, but helps that child more -- than fixing his brain.
