Interesting perspective. As someone who's on the services side rather than goods, I'm not so familiar with the practicalities here, so thanks for sharing.

I'm still rather surprised to see someone write that importing from outside the EU is no harder in terms of admin than importing from within. Surely importing from elsewhere within the EU needs very little admin at all, so if goods crossing the EU border are also not a big deal in practice, why do you think parts of our business community are so concerned about the overheads of trade with the EU post-Brexit if we wind up outside the SM/CU?
He's a human being. A complex and maybe a little bit messed up human being who has made mistakes. And regardless of those mistakes, we should mourn the loss of a pretty interesting person.
>Google has been a much stronger supporter of open source

That's debatable. According to GitHub, Microsoft is the biggest contributor to open source projects.

Yes. I haven't actually read any of the articles with that 7% headline as it seemed to me that they likely got something completely wrong - I've seen plenty of videos/photos of Scott Kelly since he got back to Earth and he was clearly not horrifically deformed or unhealthy in any way (nor has anyone who's spent significant time on the ISS come back that way).

I agree. In terms of being unrealistic I think it is important that we have to be able to picture a better world if we are going to obtain it. You want kids to know that certain things don't have to be the way they are, that the world can be a different place.

A couple thoughts...

> 1. Article was not a biography but a rumination over the values and impact of his show (with historical commentary).

The values of his show were part of an active ministry, not as a pastor for a local congregation but a different form of ministry. To talk about values and impact while not capturing where those intentionally came from is misleading at worst and at least a poor portrayal.

> 2. "Former minister" refers to an occupation. It's accurate.

This is trying to put the concept of minister into the job designations we typically have in the current work force structure we have today. It doesn't fit.

There are many ministers who have the job of Pastor of a church congregation. There are some who don't have have a job doing something that is part of their ministry.

He had an active ministry, with the Presbyterian church, to do this. If anything we get into semantic debates on roles rather than former vs active association.

> Small scale coercion, however, is easier to execute and easier to get away with

And it's something that, if standards of voting privacy are sufficiently eroded, could easily emerge even without any big conspiracy behind it. Just think of something as grass-roots as spouses not being amused about a certain vote, that alone could have a huge influence on the outcome in some settings. This potential for casual coercion is why I even consider it an erosion of democratic values when people abuse absentee votes for convenience. A mild erosion, but an erosion nonetheless.

Electronic voting could maybe improve on the issue of casual coercion if they allow individual votes to be recast until last minute, maybe even with some mix of deadline customization/randomization (with silent failure if already past the deadline) to add friction to less casual coercion attempts.
This guy was seriously mentally troubled, and that's too bad. Chelsea Manning (Bradley/Bradass at the time) confieded in Adrian, Adrian snitched, and the rest is history. He did what he thought was right, but the consequences were absolutely disastrous. Kids, don't be a snitch.

He can be an expert on AI, of course, but this assumption requires proof. He's expert on chess and he proved it many times, but I'm not aware of anything related to AI. That said, he's smart man, of course, and it's interesting to listen to him anyway. I just have much more trust in people who actually work in this industry.

Did you try Airtable?

> It does seem we're moving more towards a system with local taxes occur where the sales are made, and perhaps the same could be done with local income and business taxes.

"Income tax where the sale is made" is VAT. And "business taxes" (meaning incorporation fees and the like) are stupid garbage that disproportionately impact small businesses, don't even generate that much revenue, and should just be eliminated entirely.

But yes, VAT would work really well for this. Especially if there was a standardized way for internet retailers to remit it without having to register with every individual state and locality that each uses their own filing system.

> IMHO, tax policy is part of the political system, and in the interests of democracy, the political systems shouldn't be made to compete with each other in exploitable ways.

It's impossible to prevent this and still maintain any semblance of different states or countries. If states couldn't have different taxes then they would attract businesses by not spending the money on social programs and instead using it for infrastructure projects businesses like. If they weren't allowed to do that then they would still attract businesses with less stringent regulations.

The only way states don't compete with each other is if they're all exactly the same. And they would never actually be on equal footing regardless. If everyone had to abide the same taxes, minimum wage laws and regulations there are in California then no one would ever set up shop in Arizona, much less Mexico or South Africa.

To my mind it's the last retreat of the Empire, inwards and inwards. The idea of having a country operating on a fundamentally equitable basis is just not acceptable to these people.

Our current political leadership do seem to have a very odd view of the world sometimes, possibly due to most of them (a) being rich and (b) never having worked a normal job outside the politics/media/finance bubble.

It's very frustrating that they seem to have gone into this whole business with such an adversarial stance, particularly when even now they don't really seem to have a clear, consistent vision for what they are trying to achieve. To be fair, several of the key figures on the EU side haven't been any better.

That is one kind of problem. The 'Genie' problem: be very specific what you wish for because the genie will misinterpret you.

But it's not the only kind of problem. There are inherent biases in evolutionary systems. One example: in systems with varying length genotypes there is a massive pressure to bloat. Even if you encode 'small' as a strong requirement in your fitness function, it may not be enough (or it may be enough to completely defeat whatever your real goal was).

There are inherent biases. In the (simulated) genetics, in the genotype to phenotype mapping, in the evolutionary operators, even if you get the fitness function right.

Evolutionary computing as an engineering tool is hard.
I love G-Suite, and I use it daily for documents, sheets, and mail. I can do most things I need to do in sheets. That said, Sheets is no replacement for Excel nor is the performance on par for complex and dynamic sheets.

I suspect this is a general change over as a base solution for all employees. I'm sure there are still parts of Airbus that will continue using Excel, Word, etc.

IMHO this speaks to the fact that Office is overpowered (or bloated depending on how you look at it) for average employee needs; perhaps a cost savings issue too.
In other words, now the same is done through different companies.

Stupid statists.
> I mean it's only the vast majority of concurrent systems which are built on shared-memory concurrency.

...which doesn't mean they work (~="they pretend to work, but happen to fail much more often than they should"). Just one example - one system which has 50% of one multi-billion-dollar industry and was built as shared-nothing concurrency (not Clojure or Erlang FWIW), has 5x lower downtimes that industry average; and I don't even remember how many times I've run into all kinds of shared-memory bugs in standard! libraries (my first article on such bugs was back in 1998, the last one was about a standard proposal made in 2015 IIRC); and so on and so forth.

>> Did you see C#'s await?
> Also, it's shared-memory concurrency.

Nope; await (and C++ co_await BTW too) is single-threaded concurrency (nothing is shared between threads, and overall the concept is close to fibers with a bit more intuitive semantics), which makes it an extremely good building block to build a shared-nothing concurrency (the one which doesn't suffer from all the troubles of shared-memory one).

> Go only pays lip service to that, Go is shared-memory concurrency

You're somewhat right, but actually there are two different things there - one is language as such (and indeed, goroutines are shared-memory :-( ); however, Go "best practices" effectively say "don't use it", and LOTS of ppl from different projects were telling me that they do work in shared-nothing way (enforcing it is a different story though <sigh />).

> Shared-nothing concurrency definitely is already happening.

...in particular, with Node.js (which is ugly but still better than synchronized nightmare), C# await, and C++ co_await. As I told in one of my presentations (I think it was the CPPCON one on "8 different ways to do non-blocking"): you don't need to use Erlang to have reasonably-good concurrency :-). Overall, this sync-vs-async question is rather orthogonal to the programming language (heck, out of those 8 ways - which are largely equivalent to each other differing only in syntactic sugar - at least 2 will work even in asm).

> Async does not make things more testable.

It does - and very strictly too. Very briefly, async can be made reproducible, and whatever-is-reproducible, can be made testable; OTOH, making a non-trivial shared-memory program reproducible is next to impossible in any realistic environment (reproducibility ~= determinism, and thread context switches are non-deterministic at least for our purposes; heck, even VM guys weren't able to make them deterministic - which got lots of interesting implications which won't fit here). For discussion on determinism and testability - see my other presentation (ACCU 2017 one, on deterministic distributed systems or something).
I agree. I have been using it for over 20 years now, and use it almost daily in many different capacities. Excel along with the entire MS Office suite of applications is ubiquitous across almost every enterprise.

I am curious how Airbus is going to handle external vendors, customers and organizations sending them complex Excel Spreadsheets and Word Documents.

Someone else in this thread mentioned that Amazon is working on a similar interactive shell [0], and there is a whole group of tools like this for database CLI's [1], including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS-SQL, and VerticaDB.

It's a shame that each of these projects have to somewhat re-invent the wheel (though prompt-toolkit does a lot of heavy lifting [2]). And it's even more of a shame that each of these tools require a seperate environment. So, you have to exit Google's interactive shell to do something in AWS.

I don't think that Adrian did it out of a sense of rightness. He did it because he had no choice. Adrian was basically suspicious that he was being monitored by the FBI (he had just come out of a judgement where he was prohibited from using computers, so this is not an unreasonable thing to believe), so it was either say nothing and get two people in trouble or say something and keep it to just one.

Simply put, as much as I respect manning's actions, manning should not have confided in lamo. Rookie move.

Long have I wished for an open source spreadsheet tool built on a database backend.

I don’t hear the stories as much these days but for ages it was common for contracting firms to come into a place and find they’d been running the whole operation as an Excel spreadsheet and they had a very poor understanding of how complicated it would be to grow their system. Basically a complete rewrite to a DB model.

I thought for sure when Oracle bought Sun that this would be forthcoming but nothing came of it.

It's also antithetical to scientific principle, though not to common practice, to look for your keys under the streetlight. If there's no good reason to believe that a new accelerator will produce breakthroughs, then there's no reason to fund it. There are plenty of areas of research where large investments of money would have a great chance of advancing science rather than just enabling a small group of scientists to continue doing the work they're accustomed to.

Donald Trump is an averagely decent person and president.
