Anecdotally, and when compared to America, it could be due to a combination of many factors including:

- More regulation around employee protection

- Excellent talent drawn from less wealthy EU states who may be willing to accept a slightly lower wage than locals

- Lots of STEM graduates from UK universities

- A different work life balance

- Tech skills are not seen as valuable as law/banking/medicine

- A more profit-first rather than growth-first startup mindset
Sorry if I offend you that wasn't really my intention.

For someone that watched C riding the UNIX wave while killing other safer alternatives, that weren't lucky enough to be bundled with an winning OS, it kind of throws me out when I see C being argued as the ultimate systems programming language.

It is an historically accident that things turned out this way, and at very least JTC1/SC22/WG14 should provide a safe C subset.

Even ISO C++ working group has ongoing proposals to reduce C's unsafety influence on C++.

Otherwise POSIX derived OS will continue to be a collection of security patches and band aids trying to make up for those issues.
What explanation is necessary? You've laid it out already. It's like saying you feel pressure to drive a gasoline powered car instead of a coal powered one because gasoline is much more convenient. The network effect arises out of superiority over competition. The social pressure is a result of everyone using the same platform, which itself is a testament to the product.

>I skimmed over the rest of the article and it appears to include an "Actually It's Not Technically CP" argument, so I think I probably made the right choice here.

You'd do well to actually read the article then before making a comment like this. He goes briefly into that to show that you (english speaker) see it as a _very clear_ case of CP, whereas in japan it's not, that there's a distinction, and that they often won't understand why you'd confuse the two. And that difference in looking at it (regardless of picking a position on if it is or isn't cp) is what caused a bunch of issues.

FIA are pretty in the dark ages with F1 too. FE is slightly different and seems to be where they're experimenting. GTE is getting better too.
That mirrors the development in tabletop RPGs. While nobody's trying checkpoints there, the attitude towards getting killed by sheer game master fiat or happenstance changed a lot. When the mechanical complexity was lower and players often didn't have elaborate back stories, starting from scratch, even with a new level 1 character, didn't seem that disturbing.

So today you see all kinds of mechanics helping player agency (like "fate" points that serve as extra lives), wanton PC murder like Gygax' Tomb of Horrors mostly sells to nostalgic players these days.
these days i try to borrow stuff from nearby public libraries and avoid buying any new copies of old books. hurray, funded public services. hurray, socialism. i export a big csv file of books i am interested in reading from goodreads, then run a horrible little python script that pokes my local library website with requests to discover what books from my list are available on the shelf.

in the past i have had success finding cheap second hand books using this search engine: https://www.gettextbooks.com/

e.g. i have my eye on a new Peter Watts book, here we go: https://www.gettextbooks.com/isbn/9781616962524/

>This is a huge misconception people have about the military.

I just gave you a first hand account of it, and a concrete illustration of it is the current topic of discussion. It's difficult to call what is being clearly demonstrated through multiple channels "a huge misconception". Especially considering this is an Israeli NCO saying this, when the Israelis have a reputation for actually being one of the most individualistic armies in the West.

>In fact the core philosophy of command in western militaries is one of enabling people to make their own independent decisions.

Compared to the earlier forms of warfare, this is absolutely true. A modern NCO has a level of independent from central command that would have utterly flabbergasted officers even a hundred years ago. Heck, Roman centurions were afforded less autonomy to make decisions than we give modernly to srgts.

But in absolute terms, compared to the civilian sector? The military is still an extremely authoritarian place that is utterly slavish to obedience. Because it has to be, men still need to obey their superiors when told to do things they might not want to do. Yes lower and lower ranks are given the freedom to set their own objectives and adapt on the fly to changing circumstances, and compared to the rest of military history that is quite something, but they still are not remotely individualistic or all that autonomous compared to non-military contexts.

I mean why do you suppose we retain the officer/enlisted divide, and still demand both sides keep a cordial but distant relationship? It's because we still need the authoritarian stuff as a backbone, so when an officer says "Jump" an enlisted man jumps rather than trying to argue. The Soviets found this out the hard way after the 1917 revolution, when they tried abolishing the officer corps. as a vestige of elitist authoritarianism and it backfired so horrifically they had to gobble up defecting white army officers just to survive.

> then the product stops being superior, but it still has everyone's contacts, so most users stay

You're just twisting words here. The fact that switching costs are too high means it's superior. You're defining superiority to be some very strict UX that you've decided.

> then the product keeps getting worse until it's unbearable and everyone switches to the most popular superior alternative

Exactly. Once it stops being superior than people switch.

> why is it fair to let people and other providers usurp that?

If you have a monopoly then there are various restrictions on what you can do. Whatsapp is pretty much the way to communicate within The Netherlands. Other companies which have a monopoly and/or huge market share (e.g. 2 companies which each have 40% of the market). This e.g. resulted in KPN (ADSL/VDSL) being forced to open up their infrastructure.

I don't see how Whatsapp is earning money via their app, nor how that's relevant in case of a monopoly.

They are exceptions for research and restrictions for startups at the same time.

Lot's of companies do that, but the UK is kind of a strange place to choose to do that. If you want cheap, go hire a team of 10,000 engineers in Penang (I'm looking at you Intel). If you want expensive, choose silicon valley. If you want 2nd tier, take a look at Canada. You can choose the UK, but why? Their time zone means you'll never be able to meet with them at the same time as your Malaysian and Californian offices. They're cheap - but no where near as cheap as the far east. And they've got a metric shit tonne of employment rights, which most US companies not only don't want the cost of, but also disagree with ideologically.
The cookie consent banners were never really a requirement, more a band-aid for the advertising industry's continued surveillance.

A few years ago I was surprised to see that Netflix in Chrome on Linux didn't prevent screen-capture. If I recall correctly, On Windows, it won't let you screenshot Netflix - you get a black box instead.

Failing that, it's possible to record high-quality analogue output from, say, a Playstation 3. Failing that, it's always possible to point a camera at a screen.

Piracy of video isn't something that technologies like EME can hope to eliminate entirely, they can only raise the bar. For Netflix, that's acceptable. They compete with BitTorrent piracy and win on convenience.
And don't even mention the Olympics! No ... seriously ... don't mention them ... You'll get sued.

Technically: maybe. But the EU legislative process is very transparent (which is partially caused by the different legislative bodies that need to participate) and the European Parliament would probably not approve of such a hidden policy change.

In complete terms it's more like 3x that $78k figure.

The salary would be bad enough. The big US tech companies are nearly all publicly traded. So that $142,000 is really $250,000 or more in total compensation. The UK, and Europe more broadly, not only can't compete with the salaries, they can't compete with the ability to dish vast stock compensation thanks to the immense market caps that Google et al. have. If you're really great at something, Google can trivially give you millions of dollars in stock if it makes sense. What company in Britain can compete with that?

The skeptics will say something about healthcare in the US as a counter. The top 1/4 in the US have easy, fast access to some of the most elite medical care on the planet. And if you're making $142k in salary in the US, your healthcare is entirely paid for.

There are only two strong counters, one is that the quality of life can be very high in parts of wealthy Western Europe, and the other is cultural (preferring one culture over another).
The fundamental problem is that EU law can basically ride roughshod over existing member laws undoing decades of organic law creation in each member country. This means that you have to kind of pass those laws at the EU level to ensure they don't get wiped out by something like article 11 and 13.

You're right we download high quality mp3 and videos, because as much as people prop up Netflix and Spotify they fall far short of having a quality library to browse, Spotify less so. Netflix tends to replace what quality shows with more and more junk each update

Thanks, but what I'm really trying to ask here is what a vanilla Chrome installation does.

Your question is a contradiction, no? As you imply, most SIMs will work just about anywhere, they'll just charge you an obscene amount for the privilege.

If you want cheap international telephony, there's a whole industry for travel SIMs, but they're often still pretty expensive to use in some countries.

The researchers' real mistake was using a contract SIM. Should have used a prepaid one.

The crucial advance was not just in understanding that laws should govern a population, but that they should also govern government itself. And not only that, but that this would take hold in a population to the point where they would put everything at risk to fight for it.

Hence, the US Constitution specifically enumerates the powers (rights) of government, and leaves the rights of the people unlimited.

The timezone, whilst often being a negative, can also be a positive. If you need a service that is always up and supported, having three teams (GMT-8, GMT, GMT+8) is one of the best ways to do this. This puts the UK in the perfect place for a company needing this based in California.

Also there is a good overlap for companies based on the east coast to do hand over, which I believe is common in finance.

This is a great speech. Douglass' biographies are on my to-read list.

The Declaration of Independence was an important and powerful document. An oft-overlooked part is that it set the stage for the end of slavery, a world-wide phenomenon that encompasses known human history, around the world.

At the time of writing, it was more important to keep the country together than to end slavery, but just ~40 years after independence America ended the slave trade, and it was the new nation of the United States of America that freed all slaves less than 100 years after it's founding.

The founders of America truly had a great vision, and created the foundation of a radically new kind of country that beget the end of slavery in the developed world.
