Because outlawing a political movement supported by millions of citizens has always worked so well?

My country, the UK, has been ruled by socialists for two fifths of my lifetime and we're doing fine. OK, so the 70s were pretty bad, but it's not like Chavez is the ideal socialist leader, any more than Batista and Pinochet are the ideal republicans.
Because they just fudge the math to match the old theory. They're frauds that are uncomfortable with change. Changing the theory to match new data so many times over the last century and acting like the theory hasn't failed or really had to change at it's core (and when other theories have predicted CMB and other measurements more closely) is the definition of fraud in science.
Currently it is not about my privacy and data (those has been lost and given away far ago). It is about my time.

I'm also curious what your thoughts are on this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10760
As a hobbyist/independent researcher I think it's really interesting to compare the two in terms of the way you model the environment and the parallels with neuroscience. It seems like their use of a DNC could address some of the points you mention about the limited historical capacity of LSTMs and catastrophic forgetting.

I was very glad when I saw on github where you said the whole system could be trained in a reasonably short amount of time, because it makes it so much more feasible to try out and experiment with it as an individual. Awesome paper, and I thought the way the material was presented was excellent and made for a great read. I hope this kind of interactive presentation become more common in the future!

I've often found that people don't fully understand the staged process.
The fact that, most of the time, it's not what you directly supply to a 3rd party (as that's often innocuous)
But the fact that this can be used as a stepping stone to gaining other, more private details.

The example I often use (as it's actually happened to people) is the different usage of the last 4 digits of a bank card.

Some companies will freely throw this info around, as a convenience to the user.
In emailed order confirmations, etc.

Other companies, however, use the last 4 digits of a card as a security measure
To confirm you are the account holder, please supply the last 4 digits of the card used, or whatever.

Using social engineering, you can play these 2 companies off of each other, and possible gain some extra information
A name, a billing address, or whatever.

I try to emphasis that you, the user, are not involved in this at all
This is a person going back and forth between various company's call-centres using the info to gain more
It's a to-and-fro, initially with only the innocuous information, but by the end you possibly have the authority to order something using the legit card and billing address but delivery to a PO box
(sorry, UK terminology here, unsure what the US equiv. of a PO box would be, but delivery to a post office for collection)

I try to steer away from the more outlandish stuff (while true, and in use, people seem to dismiss them - like the recent psychological manipulation used on Facebook)
I try to keep it simple, someone ordering some jewellery on your card and collecting it from a PO box, all completely without your knowledge

I also try to emphasis the importance of securing your email account.
As someone with access to your email can run through the "I forgot my password" things on various popular sites.

I like the "last 4 digits of a card" thing, as most people have come across this difference
User convenience vs. security measure

Well, it might also have not worked (e.g. someone sells a client software they don't yet have, hoping to build it in the meantime before the delivery, but fails to finish it for whatever reason -- it might just take more time, or he finds out he doesn't have the needed skills).

That would have made a client wait based on a lie ('we already have the software') and depend of them (when the client could have gone shopping elsewhere where they do have the software he needs), which could have cost millions in damages (e.g. failure to get its products to market, because the component he though he bought didn't actually exist when it was supposed to delivered)...

Because its not real socialism.
I think you have to be more precise when making claims of this sort; in this case "establishing a global clock" is not very precisely defined. Suppose we have an oracle that implements this protocol: it publishes a new public key every hour, and at any time someone can present it a blob of data which it will sign with the private key corresponding to the current hour's public key. Furthermore, you can query it for the set of all blobs it has signed with a given public key. It is obvious that one can implement a distributed ledger with the only security assumption (for each user) being "I trust this oracle" and "I can determine the current time". OTOH, suppose we have a weaker oracle which implements this protocol: every hour it publishes a new blob of data. Then it is probably not possible to implement a distributed ledger using only the weaker oracle.

It is well-known that pure cryptography is strictly weaker than cryptography + economic assumptions or cryptography + subjectivity assumptions, due to some inherent information-theoretic asymmetries. For instance, pure cryptography allows us to prove that the owner of the secret key of a given public key has signed a message, but it cannot let us prove that the owner of a secret key has NOT publicly signed a message. A way to do this by relying on economic and non-coordination assumptions is to offer a public bounty (ie I will pay some USD) to anyone who can provide the signature and then to wait some time to see if anyone turns up. Another example: with pure cryptography it is easy to produce "private randomness" (say between 2 people) by using a commit-guess-reveal scheme, but a third party later who cannot trust that the two were not colluding cannot be convinced that the output was random. But once again this is possible with economic assumptions.

As for the distinctions between different kinds of non-cryptographic assumptions, I don't think it's clear-cut. Timestamping is strictly weaker than proof of publication (https://petertodd.org/2014/setting-the-record-proof-of-publi...), which is equivalent in strength to a distributed ledger. I'm not sure the anti-sybil assumptions have been modeled as such, but it is well-known that anti-coordination assumptions are needed even if we assume no double-spends are possible (e.g., a pool of 70% of btc hashpower can profitably censor the other 30% by orphaning their blocks; no double-spend needed!)
I agree that this library doesn't looks good — a proper implementation would use a better precision (e.g. 1/10000 of a currency unit) rather than "cents" (1/100), and of course, check ranges and the absence of fractions (Number.isSafeInteger).
Docker EE 2.0 – with support for Kubernetes
If I may quote:

ORDEREDSUBJECT

The ORDEREDSUBJECT threading algorithm is also referred to as
"poor man's threading". The searched messages are sorted by

In other words: as a workaround for garbage email clients and services too incompetent to use email correctly.

Yes, the REFERENCES algorithm also uses the base subject--but never to override message-id based threading, only for merging together threads that couldn't be joined using message-ids ... or in other words: as a workaround for garbage email clients and services too incompetent to use email correctly.

Well, and for merging together chunks of a thread where you have major gaps in your mailbox, so that reference headers don't overlap enough to make the connection, but the point remains that it's not really a threading mechanism, just a last-ditch attempt to recover a thread where proper threading information is missing, which is fine for corner cases like large gaps in which messages you have in your mailbox, and doesn't change that a sender that doesn't supply reference headers in the first place is incompetent.
> ride a bicycle without holding the handlebars

That's because you're pedaling. If you stop pedaling, you can't.
I had the same insight from the opposite direction. My background is mathematics but have been struck by the similarities between refactoring code and splitting a proof into lemmas, corollaries and theorems. There's also an art to creating good definitions during mathematical exposition, which is akin to creating variables to encapsulate the right data and naming them well.

BTW Pythagoras is another ancient Greek who may well not have been a historical character.
>>This is perspective on at least one major reason companies like Facebook and Google were blocked in China.

Uh huh is the phrase.

China, like USA and every major country, wants total (and ideally exclusive) control. China can never have that so they banned FB and Google. Chinese versions popped up and they are not missing anything.

I use FB occasionally, and have zero Chinese friends, or Egyptian for that matter. A "FB" clone can do extremely well in just one country; those that have many friends and family in China can join FB clones from Canada, Germany or wherever they are from.

> What exactly is your claim? That you can turn left without touching the handlbars, or that you can turn left without first having the bicycle steer right?

That you can turn left without having to "go right". If you tilt to the left by shifting your weight (and that's something I actually found almost impossible to do consciously - when I first learned to ride a recumbent I had to learn to weight shift before turning the handlebars all over again, for the same reason as people countersteer - when I tried to just turn with the handlebars I fell off, so I'm familiar with the effect we're talking about - but if you just lean to the left your body figures it out, or at least mine did) you'll turn to the left and follow the line just fine.
Ah, the good old “it’s not real socialism” argument.
Much like the child that cried wolf, calls that Venezuela is doomed any day now, have lost all potency. If the media hadn't discredited themselves in the 00's with the coverage of how terrible the place was we could actually believe them today. Unfortunately going from "it's hell on Earth" in 2004 to "it's hell on earth for reals this time" doesn't inspire confidence in the message.
> Many countries have "tried to stave off decline by decreeing how the economy would work." Including the US.

> Truman placed the railroad under US military control in 1950

These seem like non-sequiturs to me. The economy in the 50s was booming. Truman took control of the trains to mitigate the effects of a worker strike during wartime, when it was important that the trains be running efficiently.
Sure, but if we're talking about steering we're presumably talking about turning while pedalling and moving forwards.
> a turing complete language with access to such a large API surface (from the DOM to the GPU to threads to a lot of the browser state) could be successfully sandboxed.

I wonder why you say that. I concede that web has evolved from no-security in the 90s, when random applets and ActiveX controls were 1-click away from rooting your machine, through faulty security in 2000s, where stack smashing IE was a hobby of mine, and up to the current era of sandboxes. Which do work, sandbox evasion zero days have become very rare and remote execution has largely ceased to be an infection vector against the masses.

The problem with 3rd party tracking is not technological, the web was deliberately engineered to work in this manner. The browsers work exactly as specified, and that specification is the problem. It's compounded then as a political problem, where major browser investment are controlled by advertising companies that have a massive conflict of interest regarding the users privacy, and are likely to promote bandaids like "Do not track" instead of the fundamental privacy re-engineering the web urgently requires.

> The world has gone mad. I'm going to get a "gopher should've won" tatoo and live in as an hermit on some nearby mountain.

When I'm thinking like this is usually a sign of age. Hang in there buddy, we'll be fine. There is a promised land just around the corner with rich, secure web applications and strong privacy. If only everybody agreed we want it.

One might have nothing to hide from one's neighbor either, but one might wonder why he is keeping a detailed log of one's comings and goings, visitors, the times the bathroom light is turned on etc, as well as attaching tracking devices to one's car, bike, skis, and even clothing. One might get really uneasy if one finds out he has been collecting detailed information about one from the grocery store, gas station, movie theater, and restaurants etc.

Even if one is not doing anything wrong, one might feel uneasy about having a "permanent record" of all one's movements tied to one's full biometric information.

Some of these languages might come with some inherent advantages that give you an edge over the competition (like memory safety in rust). If the founders are well versed with a new technology like this than that would give them the edge.

The problem is that it needs some serious backing for a prog language project in order to become a contender in this game. It is far more than a weekend project (+the founders seeking to apply this knowledge should be well versed in the subject matter)

It might be that the end of 'moores law' will make such factors more important to the success of a project, more competition and a smaller margin will lead people to look for other differentiators, so to speak.

Do you truly believe that?

Just asking ...
If avoiding open-plan is a priority, I recommend you focus on negotiating for a remote work arrangement, rather than excluding good companies. My last two long-term engagements have been at Fortune 100 companies and I've worked remotely for both.

In the first case, I was the only remote employee in my business unit. I was hired because I had a high level of competency with a technology they were investing heavily in. When I first interviewed, they told me that the were only considering on-site, and that my rate was too high. So, they first hired an on-site employee at a lower rate, but he failed to deliver a working installation and the project got perilously behind schedule. When I re-approached them about two months later they were no longer hung up on my rate or request to work remote. It's worth noting that I took a gamble here and put in about 6 or 8 hours interview and follow-up process, after being told that remote was not an option, and then being given the initial "no". During the project, I did stop by their Silicon Valley campus for a few hours of meetings every month or two, which was probably 1% or less of my total billable hours.

In my current engagement, my entire team is remote, so it was a non-issue. The gig was secured for me by a recruiter who had previously contacted me about an on-site position, and I told her I was only considering remote (and followed up periodically).

Both of these positions had multiple technical screens which were very rigorous. Both resulted from initial contacts where I was given at least one "no". You can have a private office at any company if you negotiate for remote and set yourself up with the office you like (e.g. home, co-working, etc.)
No, just hire a "programmer". It really doesn't take long to get up to speed in a new language and can make it more fun, adding to motivation. In any other profession job adverts don't specify the exact make and model of tools being used so why is it always required with programming?

They do have the legal authority of their own platform. they are the king of their area, as in divine right of kings sense.

It is indeed true they do not have the divine right over the physical area and the organizational structure physically. That's because many governments in which tech companies have presence are quite stable.

Take away that stability, and absolutely yes the companies will hire private militaries to enforce their rule.

But your argument is that companies don't have physical divine right of kings - so they aren't sovereign. But we'll just hand-wave away the fact that they indeed do retain that power over their company and all the serfs who want to use the company's infrastructure.
