OK, then you didn't answer my question either. I was not asking "which companies would you not trust, and by what rationale"? The question I asked was: "Whom do you believe would keep your DNS data private, and by what rationale do you find them more believable than Google?"

Telling me you wouldn't trust someone who meets some disqualifying criterion isn't useful if you have so many disqualifying criteria that you wouldn't trust anybody, which frankly is the impression I get reading people's comments on this issue. If you have an actual company that you would trust, and a clear rationale for doing so, that's where we can have a real discussion.

The point I'm making is that the compiler can't tell you this, since conventional Objective-C code does generics checking at runtime. There's just not enough information available for this to be reliably diagnosed.

I mean, yeah it's everyone's shtick, but it makes sense for the underdog to take a more standards based approach.

A stranger on LinkedIn sent a connection request to me within the last couple of days, and it was not a recruiter (the usual), but a real estate agent. First time that's happened. And I haven't been looking to buy a house, nor given anyone any indication that I'm interested, that I'm aware of. Probably nothing, but now I'm wondering if it's an indication people are getting hungrier.
"The quality required of fuze designs is usually specified by two values: functional re-liability, which ranges typically from 0.95 to 0.99 for complex missile fuzes, and to 0.999 for projectile and bomb contact fuzes; and safety reliability, for which a failure rate not greater than 1 in 106 must be proved prior to release of items for service usage."

The reason cluster munitions were banned is that the form factor and econonics lead to less reliable detonation, not because we can't build a reliable fuze, given a larger space and weight budget.
This isn't unique to the UK. Small electric vehicles fall under motor vehicle regulations in New York state which also bans them from sidewalks. E-bikes, electric scooters, hoverboards, they're all supposed to be registered with the DMV for use on public roads.

I'm weary of anything that enhances studios ability to exploit talent - this seems like a great way to get writers by the balls the way they have they've got the VFX industry. The company that did the CGI for Life of Pi (won best visual effects) promptly went out of business and that's typical for VFX firms on major projects because studios hold all the cards. They'll find a new/desperate shop that will agree to an absurd contract with infinite revisions. Writers have a strong guild though so hopefully they make sure this doesn't turn into a race to the bottom from writing talent.

What exactly is the problem w/this post?

As someone already mentioned, "zombie houses," which as far as I'm concerned qualify as shadow inventory, have existed for some time.

The portfolio sales did not help the average person buy a house. They did provide the GSEs an out with respect to clearing their books. The terms of sale that I've seen for a few of those transactions were incredibly generous; basically "pay us if, and when, you can."

Please do correct me where I'm wrong.

Well who is going to choose the domain experts to run the system? And what kind of checks are going to be on the domain expert executives?

I don't think the parent is saying the don't want domain experts to make policy decisions, but rather that we would already have (in effect) a technocracy if the people of our democracies valued domain expertise. If US voters (for example) trusted and valued the opinions of climate and environmental scientists, they would elect representatives that felt the same, and the EPA would be staffed with world class environmental scientists.

But if today's US voters were mixed with technocracy government structure, it would be horrible. The elected representatives wouldn't be choosing domain experts based on their expertise, but would be trying to pack the government bureaus with ideologues from their own party.

Nothing about our current government structure prevents the creation of a de facto technocracy. The issue is that a very large portion of the US population dislikes domain experts.

> You'd also like to see architects in charge of town planning.

And on this point I strongly disagree. This would be horrible. Centrally planned cities are invariably poor: Brasilia, Washington DC, Abu Dhabi, and so on. I would take an organic city like Paris, Milan, London, New York, or Tokyo any day over a planned city.

Of course I am sure architects, are like "no but we really got it this time! We learned that all that Le Corbusier stuff is garbage, we are going to make walkable human scale cities now, with less cars, and more scooters, blah blah blah." But I am incredibly skeptical anyone can do this stuff right. Acing a planned city is like getting a hole in one in golf. Much better to just let things grow organically, as I trust citizens and businesses to better understand the local needs of the city dwellers than I do a central planning committee with a grand vision. Of course mistakes get made, but they are on a small scale and can eventually be corrected. When central planning makes a mistake...the scale is usually massive.

He’s been thinking some really interesting thoughts about dependency management and libraries. It sounds like if he had his way, library versions might disappear entirely.

From the interview: “But there are really two very distinct kinds of change - there are breaking changes, where your expectations have been violated, and there are accretions, where there's just some more stuff where there wasn't stuff before. And in general, accretion is not breaking.”

To paraphrase stuff I’ve heard him talk about elsewhere, your library should never change a function to require more input or provide less output. If you decide to do that, call it something else and keep the old function around. He’s talked about function-level versioning too, touches on it here a bit. If I use library functions x y and z and the maintainers only broke (the contract for) functions a b and c, then I probably don’t care and can grab the latest version for its other new goodies. But that decision still requires me to read the library source or at least a changelog, even though it’s simple enough for the right tool to be able to report it to me. Spec looks like a step in that direction.
Most people with a certain level of obsession about The Beatles would certainly recognize the song as Lennon's, though with some amount of input from McCartney that could range from no involvement to half-and-half.

It's too conjunct to be Paul's, but that doesn't mean he didn't give any input.

I question this analysis because it seems like an easy target -- the song obviously has Lennon's fingerprint on it (a melody hovering around just a few notes with thick harmonies), and the headline of "study reveals new insight into Beatles songwriting" is too juicy for my liking.

Sorry, I wouldn't really know, as I work in fluid mechanics, not solid mechanics.

I own one of the Bird scooters (Xiaomi Mi) and I've been commuting with it every (week) day for the last month in Chicago. It's amazing for me, a bicyclist normally that would get too sweaty on the last mile of my commute.

I ride in the bike lanes and am faster than most bicyclists. I also feel safer as I am standing up and more easily visible to vehicles.

With all this being said, I avoid sidewalks as I don't think anything with wheels besides wheelchairs and strollers should be on sidewalks. I also biked for years on the streets and have a lot of experience. I don't think putting these things everywhere is a good idea unless we get rid of more cars.

Too many people are inexperienced with safely riding and it's way too convenient to jump on one and become a nuisance to others. I'm not sure what the answer is, though. Maybe people with enough time on Divvy bikes (our bike share system) get first dibs?
I've never understood how stock market returns can exceed inflation in the long run either...it seems inescapable logically that if you can come up with an asset with a guaranteed return, people will flock to it until the real return equals approximately zero.
yes, but the web meets end users, not other developers. I think a lot of the disdain for the web is because we have to use it regularly. Whereas memory interfaces or other low level implementations we only touch if we're working on something related to them.
Because you can't purposefully botch a sale in order to later recover it. Also because you can't avoid botching sales by being more conservative or adding more process. In short, sales and engineering have basically nothing in common.

Just because another country does something stupid doesn't make it a good idea. Also, as noted in another comment, the one time this was done in Sweden, it was a fire on a military base.

In the U.S., cultural resource protection is one of the considerations in wildlands firefighting, and a significant number of wildfires in the U.S. west occur within designated Wilderness areas where minimum impact suppression efforts are required by law. This means, e.g., you can't run a bulldozer through to cut a fireline in Wilderness, and in some cases can't even drop slurry because it might cause permanent staining on rock outcrops, damaging a natural resource. Dropping weapons-grade bombs is going to be a non-starter, as it should be.
Yeah I agree it wouldn’t be easy but damn would it be great. And like... given that much of the Swift Core team implemented C++ in clang, they’d be the ones to do it.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: all companies should be Public Benefit Corporations. PBCs are companies which, in addition to having a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, may add benefitting the public to their charter.

This is entirely unrelated to Swift. But to address our concern: your iPhone 6 Plus is the slowest iPhone still getting updates today. Sure, it should perform better, and the iOS 12 update later this year will help fix this issue, but Swift has nothing to do with making your phone slow.
By all means, choose whomever you trust the most.

If corporations can get away with things individuals can't and, as someone above said

You seem to be confusing the moderation of non-technical forums with the process of achieving consensus between experts on highly technical issues. My apologies if this isn't the case.

The bitcoin forks you name have experts working on their development, true. But these developers represent a small fraction of the number of contributors to the bitcoin core client. As the number of people increases, so too does the difficulty of coming to consensus on the direction of development.
One person in the Ars Technica comment thread says they manage a lot of these machines in an enterprise environment, so surely they would be running clean Windows without any extra crapware, ruling out this possibility.

Kind of like The Roads Must Roll by Robert Heinlein.

There are a shit ton of cars, a good number of bikes, and a minimal number of scooters.

I find it very difficult to believe that there are enough vehicles and lanes to have a separate bike and scooter lane and still have room for cars and pedestrians.

Besides which bikes and scooters are similar enough to share a lane.
I ride my electric unicycle at ~10 miles/hr on sidewalks.
Slightly faster than walking but way slower than a bike. I can stop instantly( unlike one wheels) an slow down to less than walking speed if needed. I don't see why I can't share the sidewalk with pedestrians.

But that isn't going to help with embers that are pushed ahead of the leading edge of the fire by the shockwave. And burning embers stay hot and can spread fire over surprisingly long distances. If you've ever seen news footage where a wildfire "jumped" an 8 or 12 lane wide highway, you can bet that it was ember spread that was responsible.

I'm not going to say that this idea has no merit; and I think it may be worth further investigation. But at the moment I have some major concerns about it.
The current implementation definitely has some parts with suboptimal complexity, but at the time of design we had plans to address all of them. I just didn't have sufficient time (or productivity?) in my internship to implement them all. For example a lot of the things that are currently lists can be replaced with ropes of the same type Xi uses for text.
Bribery and coercion have been reduced to practice many times throughout human history. Voting by mail also facilitates misdirecting or tampering with ballots. People have used all four approaches to sway elections with absentee ballots. Often they've been caught because the mailed ballots showed unusual trends or there were unusually many of them.

The risks should be weighed against the benefits of greater turnout, but countries and even US states have found ways to improve turnout while keeping the safeguards of the secret ballot.

The Balance Center - http://www.balancecenter.com/overview.htm

I am not afilliated, but have known several people to go through their program with life changing results.

As I understand it:

They have traveled around the world studying populations of people which have a low incident of back pain and old-age disability [1]. They observed those groups to have posture and movement habits that are subtly different from populations having a high incident of such problems. Their effective training program improves clients comfort and ability by teaching them the habits observed in the low-pain low-disability groups.

> offline-first development, where concurrent timelines don’t really have any limit on the length of their diverging histories

Is there really great utility in automatically merging wildly divergent documents? Being able to send your queued changes and agree on a new state of the world is lovely, but for most of the circumstances I can imagine the ideal new "state of the world" is "please fix this merge conflict", not "here's my best guess at a reasonable state based on the semantics of some data structure."

Maybe it's domain specific. Maybe in code you want merge conflicts and in some kinds of rich text docs you just want a best-guess auto-merge. Even then, though, I think it would depend a lot on what the document is for. Maybe blog posts and company culture docs should get auto-merge and legal contracts should get merge conflicts.
