Banks runs may be part of the origin story of central Banks, but it's definitely not the only or main reason they exist. That's what deposit insurance is for, and in the case of the U.S., bank runs continiued for decades after the Federal Reserve was created.

Central Banks exist to be a monopoly creator of money and credit for the purposes of manipulating the market. They exist to execute macroeconomic policy.

Why not use plain Git? It's fast. And it's not difficult to build your own automation on top of it, e.g. using cron for nightly builds, etc.

It seems likely that there will be such machines within a few years. There is nothing in this procedure which can't be automated using existing technology.
Well, let's say I wouldn't switch away from github at once (I have a paid account with private repos and all), but consider the Skype precedent: from a mostly working native application, now it's an Electron abomination that takes 100% CPU and is a lot harder to use than the previous versions. But it has social networking!

It's very likely they will "improve" github in the same way. I don't think they dare to make the site explicitly not work on anything but IE, but I expect subtle incompatibilities to pile up over time...
I completely agree. The biggest issue here is that we are losing a neutral player as the top comment says. The tech world is that much more monopolistic without an independent GitHub.
This is the "extend" phase, in case anyone is keeping track. The embrace was "MS loves Linux!", switching Windows to use git, and putting tons of near random libraries and projects on github publically (vscode, chakracore, etc).

I just love how anyone that cards had been actively avoiding walled garden proprietary services like this and were using gitlab, phabticator, etc for years saying this or anything similar (could have just been github starting to sell user data themselves) but only when big evil MS comes along to put the reality in peoples faces that you don't bet your software infrastructure on some proprietary non interoperable web service.

Yes, the last paragraph is pretty much the system every country uses. Look at the UK, for example, where the national debt continues to rise - there is no real plan to pay it off - the system is designed in such a way that overall debt issuance must rise in order to service older debt. It's a horribly unstable system, but unfortunately we seem to have embraced it across the world.

I agree that the impact on philosophy was probably far greater than on science and math, but the fact is that several prominent mathematicians (most notably Gödel) were part of the group. One can of course argue whether e.g. Gödels achievements had anything to do with his being a member.

As to your second remark, I did not mean to imply that the people listed were all members. They were not. But they did have affiliations with members of the group (personal and professional) and they are all discussed in the book.

We don't punish anyone for crimes that have not yet been committed either :-).

Microsoft weren't punished because they were going to be killed Google. They were punished for anti-competitive practices (specifically, for abusing their monopoly position), and they had to stop some of them. It's very likely that they would have killed Google in its infancy if they could have continued to implement these practices.
That's a good reason :)

Well, they have "improved" Linkedin and Skype to the point that usability has gone way down, and resource use way up. It's easy to extrapolate and expect the same with github.

This feels weird. Why don't you as a parent enforce homework (or decent behavior) ? There's nothing to be proud of in my opinion; and maybe it's not reflected in grades yet but learning comes through repetition, without exception. Missing out on practice is a big deal for proficiency (and it's not a bad habit to pick up either). Honestly I have very little sympathy for parents that thinks its ok to disrespect teachers because they didn't earn it themselves (or so it sounds).

Typical Rails codebases already enjoy a reasonable layer of 'typing' via ActiveRecord coercions, validations, and possibly some system that declares/documents the types/structure of your REST API.

Also, I advocate keyword arguments (especially 'required' ones), which tend to kill 80% of the use case of typing for dynlangs ("what's the type of argument x?")

A meaningful test suite would hammer the last nail in the coffin.

> From whence cometh hope? (Because I'm almost out of it.)

The hope is that the core technologies necessary for rapid decarbonization, wind, solar, batteries, smart grid are all rapidly falling into place, and it seems likely that they will end up cheaper than the current technology, it's just a question of whether that happens over 5 years or 20 years. And also that there are enough decent countries or states putting in enough effort to push those technologies over that hump.
Oh, it's in those two footnotes: Apple pre-announced that they were going to open source Swift, and then they did, and they did a great job and there was much rejoicing.

But there was some skepticism, because Steve Jobs had previously announced they were going to open-source their FaceTime technology so non-Apple platforms could adopt it and it could become a cross-platform communications system... but they never did.

Both announcements got people excited, though.

EDIT: Okay, my bad; I stand corrected. I remembered him saying that in 2012, but I googled it after lowtolerance disputed my claim, and what he actually said was, "We’re going to the standards bodies, starting tomorrow, and we’re going to make FaceTime an open industry standard.”

The intent is good - to give users of the applications more power in their relation with their employer and state, similarly to what the GNU project and the GNU Hurd kernel promote. Of course, there is danger that develepers will misuse this and hardwire their preferred DNS into their application. If this becomes a problem, the users will have to either reject the application or apply some MITM remedy.
I don't disagree with you on the threat to our ecosystem, but I think Github has been treading water for a while. I'm really excited to see Gitlab step up, especially with the traction they are getting from the diaspora, but I don't know that they will. There are a ton of reasons people won't take Gitlab seriously as a replacement right now. I hope they find a way to take their tools and this new attention and produce what we all really want.

I think at this exact moment, there is a really interesting space that can be filled by a FOSS Github alternative. I think a new player might be better equipped to offer it. Maybe someone can build something off of Keybase's[1] git services.

I am sad to see an independent voice go, but I don't think Github has been able to stay competitive and IMO this could be a good thing. That remains to be seen, but regardless of Gitlab's ability or what MS might do, I think there is a vacuum left that I'm hoping we can fill as a community and I'll put my effort and dollar behind whatever shows up to do it.

Someone should ask Linus what he thinks about git federation. Maybe he can save us from ourselves again.

This is simply not true. You're massively underestimating the overhead of a bytecode VM. Even the most optimal bytecode VMs are easily beaten by the simplest of JITs in 100 lines of C: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.01290.pdf

Code doesn't even need to be "hot" to make it worth it. WebKit switches from interpreter to cheap baseline compilation, without an specular optimizations or type information, after only 6 calls of a function: https://webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-jit/

This article literally describes how baseline JIT is worth it simply to remove the bytecode VM dispatch overhead.
The waste of productive time this would entail is far worse than the waste of a few bucks.

Wondering whether Microsoft has ever acquired any major open source project/product? from memory, minecraft/skype/github are all closed source stuff. It is also pretty amazing that Microsoft still refuses to open source any of its major products like Windows, Office, SQL Server or even Visual Studio - even when most of them have better open source alternatives.

If you look, the most embarrassing thing about Microsoft is that they pretend to be embracing open source under the new CEO, yet their entire WSL joke aimed for running linux apps on Windows is not open sourced. There are numerous WSL bugs, there is an official github repo for WSL there but there is no WSL source code you can read.

Maybe for Microsoft Open Source is still considered as a cancer?
No, actually never. The key words being ‘non-convertible currency’ (i.e. no longer having the artificial limitations of gold standard) and ‘in their own currency’.

For example, my country’s federal Government can never run out of Australian dollars (we own the central bank!). But if I remember correctly, Argentina has a great deal of debt (like a lot of developing countries) denominated in foreign currencies. They can absolutely be forced to default on that.

The Eurozone basically all use a currency they can’t control, so have similar problems if they don’t have a big enough trade surplus to compensate (like Germany does). Those problems were predicted from the very earliest days of a common currency being discussed, like by the great economist Wynne Godley in 1992 (London Review of Books, November issue if I recall). He wrote a great textbook on monetary economics in 2006 with Mark Lavoie which discusses this kind of thing.

Inflation and deflation are a different issue, but can both be better controlled through fiscal measures (The monetarists’ fantasy that you can control everything just with interest rates is definitely wrong. It’s way too blunt a tool for the job).

Not all coins can be exchanged in your own countries. Good luck with your CFA. A lot of exchange desks don't even accept small amounts or coins.

Fair enough, there were a lot of radical UX changes early on but we’ve never had a problem with stability / reliability, by comparison we see a number of Github outages over any given year - to be fair that’s on the hosted product but I would most certainly not want to run Github ‘enterprise’ - it’s a VM image with MySQL and a bunch of other less than desirable technologies.

Coppola (and most other people claiming to "reveal" something profound of financial system when they tell that banks do technically not lend deposits forward) is confused in my humble opinion.

There is no need for double entry accounting trickery nor loans to create money. All bank needs to do is to say that they owe me money and they have created money at that very moment.[1] Simple as that. And they do create money without lending all the time! It is nothing special. When a bank "pays interest" to your account, do you think there exist some new loan that is needed for that money to exist? Nope. Bank just decides that now it is time to add some more money to your account. That's it. Or when bank pays salaries to the personnel or dividends to the shareholders? Nope. No lending associated whatsoever. Just money added to their bank accounts. (for simplicity's sake, I assume that the stakeholders have their bank accounts in the same bank)

[1] Which to me implies that there is not that much interesting happening at that point. I mean, a bank could enter a few centillion dollars to my account, and technically the money would be created. But in practice that is laughable. Nobody in their right mind would imagine a second that the bank would be solvent and actually be able to pay me the money, so in reality that money does not exists (no credit...). So even if the traditional model of banks lending deposits forward is technically even more wrong than the banks create money from double entry accounting trickery, in reality that describes much better what actually economically is happening in the financial industry. But that is just my opinion...

rest assured you would not see major newspapers doing exactly that without them having checked the legality. The analysis in the blog is wrong because the first question to be asked is "is the business within the scope of the GDPR", and _if you are a business in scope_, then you can't process personal data or track/monitor EU residents. However, you are not a business in scope of GDPR if you don't have a business presence in the EU and don't hold out your services to EU residents. Blocking that region demonstrates clear intent _not_ to offer services to EU residents and thus puts your business out of GDPR scope.
Civil law is one thing, and has btw nothing to do with crime and punishment - that would be criminal law.

Protecting a market from becoming a monopoly is another thing entirely; punishment isn't a category here but the overwhelming interest to enable everybody to participate in a market within reason. Shielding individuals from the law of the strong (as in the jungle) and the natural tendency for monopolies is the entire point for a society to begin with.
>> It's hard to argue that they fucked up when their hands were so tightly bound and there was a gun to their heads.

Tsipras and Varoufakis line was that they had "all the cards", remember? Remember how, if they saw us getting ready to jump, our European partners would lose their nerve and come begging us not to leave the Eurozone and the Union?

At least that was Varoufakis position- even after the whole thing imploded. He kept saying, long after, that Greece should just give the EU the finger, default on its debts and let the EU sort out the ensuing mess.

Consider the incompetence of those people, for a second. They went into an extremely delicate situation like bulls in a china store, pretending -and maybe even believing- that they were on top of things. They certainly didn't act as if they accepted that "their hands were bound", or "there was a gun to their heads".
