I gave you a concrete example of the good work unions are doing and you responded by just calling it inefficient and saying "many far superior ways" without outlining any. The reality is it was a thing that was happening and unions took a leading role in the political process to fix it. Unions are people participating in democracy.

Not only that, you seek to put words in my mouth about exploitation and tyranny.

I'd also like to point out that beyond your (in my view) irrational distaste for unions, you have a very US-centric view of what a union is. Those of us looking from the outside in are constantly bemused by people like you.

Please only respond to the things I actually say, not the things that you think I will say in the caricature you have built.
The problem is that the API pretends that it already sanitizes user input to a degree. (from the design perspective, not necessarily documentation)

Quote from Gartner IaaS 2018 about Oracle (Cautions)
"Oracle sometimes uses high-pressure sales tactics to sell its cloud IaaS offerings, including software audits or threatening to dramatically raise the cost of database licenses if the customer chooses another cloud provider. Customers should be cautious of these tactics, thoroughly understand their options and evaluate the risks of adopting OCI at this stage of its maturity. Gartner strongly encourages prospective customers to speak with references."

Blocking EU visitors with Cloudflare and .htaccess for GDPR
I disagree with treating every specific refinement or implication of an age-old law as some irrelevant newfangled detail we don't need.

I looked up "21 USC §§331, 333, 343(g) & 21 CFR §139.150(b) make it a federal crime to sell "egg noodles" that aren't ribbon-shaped."

21 USC §331 is just about regulating fraud in commerce. It starts:

"The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited:

(a) The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of any food, drug, device, tobacco product, or cosmetic that is adulterated or misbranded.

You could show that to someone a couple thousand years ago, and nothing would prevent them from understanding the purpose of it. You could probably get someone from the time of Hammurabi to understand the concept.

21 CFR §139.150(b) doesn't make it illegal to sell egg based pasta that isn't ribbon shaped, it defines "egg noodles" as such, as opposed to tubular shapes which are not "egg noodles". Standards to facilitate commerce are normally considered legitimate even by libertarians who wish to radically shrink the federal government. So unless you are an anarchist or particularly wish to abolish egg noodles or inhibit commerce in them, I don't understand where you're coming from.

Imagine if there was a game like Dark Souls where everyone starts the game playing against really stupid AI and it just trains itself and different generations of an enemy are ranks based on kill to death ratio.

you could have one AI play as the main character against the enemy characters till it wins, and then tune the enemies till they win?

I thought this was interesting:

"It has been proposed that this connectivity may facilitate arbitrary sensory experiences in infants that are unlike anything experienced by typical adults but are similar to the sensory experiences of adults with synaesthesia, a rare sensory phenomenon that has been associated with exuberant neural connectivity and that
is characterized by strong arbitrary associations between different sensations. We provide the first evidence for this infant-synaesthesia hypothesis by showing that the presence of particular shapes influences color preferences in typical 2- and 3-month-olds, but not in 8-month-olds or adults."

In principle, "voxels" and "polygons" are the same algorithm - you project some points on the surface to the screen and eliminate invisible ones with the z-buffer. Polygons allow to use sparser points and fill space between them with interpolation, voxels rely on the points density or blowing up the point size.

Interpolation is quite complicated and voxels, on the other hand, could be arranged so it would be very easy to draw on a traditional CPU. So one could write a really fast voxel renderer on something like Pentium 200, which would produce better looking graphics than a polygonal renderer at the same speed (it would not be as versatile but when you do a demo you are free to chose scenes where voxels will do the job better).

On GPUs interpolation is not just cheap but it's the only way to exploit massive parallelism since you can draw all interpolated points simultaneously. Drawing points, on the other hand, is sequential (because of z-buffer all primitives have to be drawn in the fixed order) and is already super slow by itself. GPUs are also optimized for drawing triangles so they do a lot of things with them they cannot do for a list of points (which would be the primitive you'd use to draw voxels). Of course you can do your voxels on compute but then you are not using color/depth buffer hardware so either way you are disadvantaged.

Seriously?! Qt predates Electron and is a far superior solution. Of course, if you only know web development, your existing knowledge doesn't translate over easily, but the reverse is equally true.

> but ask anyone today what they'd prefer to build an interface with and it's most like HTML/CSS

Only if they are already experienced in web development. Otherwise, Qt Quick is much better, taking the positives from CSS, without the downsides of using a document format to layout a UI.

> Especially for highly graphic intensive, responsive layouts, there's almost no competition really.

Seriously, Qt Quick is far better. Though on the desktop, you'd be better off not building a "highly graphic intensive, responsive layout" and instead adhering to the established norms.
Your argument would be much stronger if you actually provided the better alternative, instead you don't bring anything new to the conversation.
There's so much misunderstanding and wrong terminology surrounding voxels. Voxels are a way to store world data in memory, basically 3d bitmaps. They won't give you infinite details, just the opposite - they can only give you single '3d resolution'.

To actually get infinite details, you have to switch underlining world representation from static data (meshes, voxels) to mathematical (perlin noise, fractals). Here you make an important trade-off - mathematical representation is harder to make changes to, because each modification would increase complexity of math formula used to describe the world. You can see lot of deformations in voxel demos but they are global transformations (scale, shear).

Minecraft uses hybrid approach. Inital world is described by math (called world generation) but it's then serialized (sampled) as data with specific voxel size, that you can easily manipulate.

Edit: another, IMO far more impressive approach is Media Molecules' upcoming Dreams software that uses constructive solid geometry and sparse distance fields to describe and manipulate 3d geometry. Here's a detailed tech talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KNtnCZDMI

You're comparing the maximum rate for France with average rates in the other countries, which isn't really fair.

The actual average in France is 23% (in 2016, it's probably lower now) so nothing really extraordinary. The maximum rate is also being progressively brought down from 33% to 25%.

I have to play devil's advocate here, because we know one side of the story.

It sounds like the company's revenue consisted of one big customer and it folded when that customer was lost, but there's very little details of why that happened.

The point I want to convey however is this: a functioning business is not supposed to be a vessel for collecting grants/tax credits/funding rounds from sucker investors, but producing something useful.

Another one: China is a high tax country. Scoring one or another double digit tax credit may be a matter of life and death for a company.

In Finland, it is still correct to treat V and W as equivalent when sorting (e.g. phonebooks). This applies both to Swedish and Finnish language and context. However, now it is more common to treat them as separate letters, which is also accepted.

Even taking your lowest-cost professional estimate, which deviates from experience and ignores several practical, if not official, costs, we’re talking about 2 weeks versus 24 hours and 4x the cost, with reference to Delaware. It’s a shockingly messy process compared with the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong or even Luxembourg.
That's false. France has a higher cost of living and higher food prices [1], with a considerably lower overall median and full-time median income level, versus the US. US GDP per capita is also currently 50% higher than France. France has an unemployment rate ~120% higher than in the US. US wage growth has been roughly 8x to 10x that of France over the last 20 years (France only averaged 0.5% annual wage growth over that time).

So let's recap. France has: far lower median wages, far lower wage growth, a higher poverty rate, a higher homelessness rate, dramatically lower GDP per capita, and an economy that hasn't net expanded in over a decade.

In 1980 France had a higher GDP per capita than the US. In 1990 France was just barely behind the US on GDP per capita. Today it's about $40,000 vs $60,000; that gap is persistently widening, with France falling down the global economic ladder by the year. It also explains why wage growth has been so extremely low in France over that time.

Speaking of ugly JCL, it was typical of my environment for production jobs to not bother with cosmetics and comments since changing anything was a manual process requiring either sitting at the keypunch or writing it out in character grid boxes for keypunch operators.

When I redid all our jobs' JCL via ISPF, I could not only easily reformat it all for readability and clarity, but I described all the passable parameter switch options right in the JCL right in context.
As a developer in France, and to compare to OP of this thread: I got fired because I created a company without telling my company. So I have both views in this matter. I got fired because there was a clause of "non-concurrence", but the market focus was different, geographic focus was different, all different except for doing tech. I brought it to court, it's ongoing.

Why did they do it? Because they were downsizing in the region (we went from 100 employees 6 years ago to 3 currently). So claiming I created that company to damage them, they pay 0€ as opposed to ~20000€. Now, make it times 100 and you got a non trivial amount of money even for a relatively big company. People were constantly "encouraged" to leave, benefits cut, comité d'entreprise dissolved they day we hit 49 employees, they accounted losses from other branches so we didn't get profit sharing either, and I know quite a few cases like mine with a variety of wonky excuses.

Now, in my own company I don't have a salary. Can't afford it, it's so insanely expensive to pay a salary, we're talking each month you pay total twice and a half as much as the employee sees BEFORE TAX. We don't hire people, we hire other companies and freelancers to do the job, then take dividends. There's no other way unless you're a cash flow workhorse.

Also, Paris might be different, but here all startups I've seen quickly moved to London or Berlin in the moment they got VC funding. It's just so expensive that even cities with significantly higher wages are cheaper.
