Implication of Big Data for Insurance [pdf]
You must admit, this is a significant win for Sanders (Disney first, now Amazon). I agree with you that progressive policies have been dismantled over the last few decades, but would argue that the electorate is engaged enough now to claw back those losses (majority of Americans support universal healthcare now, for example).

My point was this is not the last win for Sanders and those who align with his progressive policies. Efforts will continue to drive up the minimum wage in all 50 states.
They wipe smart before giving you drives. Ovh does the same. Most drives have a serial interface you can connect to with a special cable to do it.

It wasn't wealth, it was interest. There was a period where the Internet (or PCs in general) were more of a curiosity than anything else, and you had to have some motivation to jump over the complexities of operating a computer and going on-line (not to mention some motivation to buy a PC/get your parents to do it). It served as a natural quality filter for a while.

I shouldn't have used the word "privacy" in my comment. I think calling GDPR a privacy law is a shortcut a lot of people take (myself included), but it really is a data protection law. (It's even in the name!)

GDPR doesn't talk about privacy very much. In fact, I just searched the full english text of the law: There isn't a single instance of the word "privacy".

In other words, it doesn't so much say who can and cannot store and analyze your data. Instead, it lays out your responsibilities if you are storing/analyzing personal data, and your (consumer) rights as someone whose data is stored/analyzed somewhere.
so awesome these guys participated in CASP
People often complain about power concentrating in a few companies, but an interesting side effect of that is that it should, in theory, increase the bargaining power of labor. It's a lot easier to unionize a handful of huge companies than it is to unionize a whole bunch of smaller companies. This move by Amazon is probably a reflection of that.
Check out the VM for Factor. It is really well-written: https://github.com/factor/factor/tree/master/vm It's based on HotSpot so you could check out its code too.

In short, the answer is to think of everything as an object. A pointer is an object, a block of compiled code is an object, a return address is an object, an execution context is an object and so on. All these objects are related to each other in one huge object graph that the VM keeps track of. For example, if one code object (such as a function) calls another, then the VM views each address in each assembler CALL instruction as one pointer, pointing from one function to the other. So if foo calls bar and bar is recompiled, a new code block which we'll call bar' would be inserted at the end of the code heap and then each CALL instruction in foo would be updated to point to bar' instead.

This can get quite complicated if another execution context is running baz which was called from bar. How can we ensure that it returns to bar' instead of bar? We would have to go through the stack of the execution context and update all return addresses stored in it so that they point to bar' instead of bar.

Of course all this has to be done as efficiently as possible so VM implementors use huge amounts of bit fiddling tricks which obscures what the code is doing...
Agreed, but I think those problems should be solved, the same way LLVM solved the N:M frontend:backend problem :)

It's very likely that interacting with such a generic library interface doesn't feel native to the language, but I think it doesn't have to be a monstrosity like DOM or CORBA.

Yes, and even if the are actually fully informed and very skilled, there are severe limitations on what "management" of press and psychology can do.

In an economy, an excess must eventually be corrected. The problems are that it's a dynamic super-multi-variable system and tends to overshoot in both directions. Ideally, an excess would self-correct soon and gently, but many information loops have too long a lag. Hence, the warning that "markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".

In cases where the bubble is moderate, 'management' may well keep the psycology from falling too far and overcorrecting, buying time, so that the situation can correct without a crash.

However, it also continues the excess for far longer, and often allowing a far greater degree of excess. So, if the excess breaks through the management, the crash will be _much_ steeper and deeper, overshooting far on the downside.

I'm not sure if the PRC doesn't understand this risk, or if it does and is just in too deep to do anything else.

Either way, it is a seriously growing risk for them and globally.

After working in AI research for about 10 years, I suspect that most of what you see (especially outside "scientific" literature) is... very sophisticated smoke and mirrors.

My favorite example of this is IBM's Watson. But people just ignore Watson's gaffes because they don't fit the narrative.

To refresh people's recollections, here's the Final Jeopardy category of a man/machine contest from a number of years ago: U.S. Cities

Clue: Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; It's second largest, for a World War II battle

Watson: What is Toronto?????

The correct answer is: What is Chicago?

The humans didn't have a problem with it. O'hare airport, Midway airport.

It's quite obvious that Watson didn't understand the question at all.

In general, while total angular momentum is conserved, rigid bodies tend to rotate in an unstable fashion, because rigid-body forces apply different amounts of torque to different parts of the object. Which I kind of knew about but I didn't connect the dots.
Hence no constant speed and angular direction, and no hydrostatic equilibrium. That was the missing link for me!

> but with the fact that transitioning to new languages does have a non-trivial cost

But this is completely uninteresting. Nobody has claimed that transitioning to a new programming languages doesn't have a non-trivial cost.

You're countering a non-existent argument. I mentioned this in my initial reply to you: you're debating a point that is easy to refute. I don't know why, or where the source of confusion is, but you are.

> Moreover, productivity gains from new languages seem to have plateaued a couple of decades ago (except from some niches, such as system programming, that have seen little change in the past 20-30 years). I.e., we no longer see the same productivity boosts as we did going from Assembly -> FORTRAN, from FORTRAN -> C, or from C -> Java (and even then, the gains were smaller with each jump). Fred Brooks predicted in the '80s this would happen, and reality has shown even smaller gains than he had predicted.

This just sounds like a lot of opinion expressed as if it were a fact.

My intended meaning is that if you end the War on Drugs, powerful, murderous cartel bosses would no longer exist.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are a fairly technical user. My snarkiness in the previous reply was excessive, but reflected my frustration with being told that something is simple that is actually a multi-step process with questions that are not easy to find the answer to.

I guess the problem with email for this process is that you have a number of questions, all of which may not have an easy answer.

1. Identify an email address -- is this standardized? Searching "GDPR address for cnn" gives nothing, and similar more general queries yield little information.

2. Identify a template -- is there a standard one? I see a bunch of websites that claim to have them, looks like 'datarequests.org' is a good(?) one? It seems to have only a small set of sites that can be submitted. The template is incredibly verbose and it isn't clear how to request specific information; would that typically happen as part of a dialog?

3. Identify an account number/user name/verification of identity -- is there a standardized process for this? Could someone else send a request to remove my data? What is the process for this and how can I activate it?

4. Email is not a structured medium. I don't want to get into a whole conversation about this; I want to see the data about me and be able to remove bits of it.

Note that as a software developer #4 sounds kind of ridiculous to me, since user data can be represented in a variety of site-specific manners, and the existing pre-GDPR protections put in place for PII make this almost impossible. But to an end user it feels like it should be a natural thing and having to deal with a number of complex bespoke systems sounds like a pretty heavy load.

I can see the GDPR in this sense being useful for celebrities and the wealthy, who can afford managers or consultants to take this action on their behalf, but not for people like my parents, for whom even step 1 is daunting.
The article is correct that contact names were essentially the same as port numbers in TCP. This was a time of great experimentation in LAN protocols (and network protocols, what we would now call layers 1-4 or maybe -5). By the mid 70s most used thicknet (later called 10base5) coax using CSMA with exponential backoff (Metcalf's greatest invention at PARC IMHO), so chaosnet was a local example (of several in New England alone, at the time). There wasn't really anything off the shelf at the time.

CHAOSNET and lispms are historically intertwined it's true, but hardly inextricably so. For example the file servers referred to in the article weren't (until much later) lispms too, but our standard PDP-10 mainframes, so there were multiple implementations of chaosnet immediately, and it was also used for mainframe-mainframe communication (yes, you could transparently use remotely stored files back in the late 1970s). The earliest machines sold by Symbolics and LMI were just MIT CADRs build externally and badged by the manufacturer, by the time they built their own machines the Ethernet standard (also using 10base5) was starting to get traction and their machines used that instead. I did deploy and use a chaosnet system at the Centre Mondial in Paris because they had a KL-20 and some CADRs, but that was a rare case; possibly the only one outside USA, or possibly even outside the east coast of the USA.

Article is correct about the deep ties between BBN and MIT-AI. Honestly at the time of the ARPANET switching to TCP I really thought of the other address types as transitional anyway, so I'm not surprised more address types were never used. Though the whole point of the idea of an Internet was the union of all other networks (and the origin of the idea of the "cloud" -- a radical idea at the time, though focused on routing) the early model was either protocol-translating gateways or TCP.

When the net switched over from NCP to TCP it didn't really feel like it affected me until 1984 when I could telnet directly from my machine at PARC (a Dolphin or Dorado -- they were also in a machine room with the display and kbd on my desk!) to my machines at the MIT AI lab. It seemed magical not to have to log into an intermediate machine. This was thanks to a pup gateway (pup was PARC's equivalent to chaosnet, or perhaps I should say that the other way as pup was first) and sadly I eventually realized that it wasn't using a chaosnet gateway on the MIT side (the PDP-10s had their own IMPs). But by the time I moved back to MIT this worked in the other direction as well.

The modern world was built by corporations. Access to clean water, cheap and healthy food, energy, infrastructure. Yes taxes fund a lot of it but it is corporations that largely do the work at least in the US. Being for-profit is a good thing on the whole because that enables the corporation to continue solving problems for more people. Obviously there is a dark side too. The pursuit of profit left uncheck leads to harming the environment, screwing people out of money, etc which is why regulators are needed.

To say corporations are all bad all the time is bullshit. Likewise to say corporations are all good all the time is also bullshit. Like everything, there are pros and cons. Overall I think our capitalist economy does more good than bad. If it didn't, none of us would be able to be having this debate because we would be too worried about the next meal.

That's because you have a working assumption there's something we can do about it.

I don't believe there is: in that regard, humanity is as much in control of its own destiny as a mold colony growing on a slice of bread under a glass dome.

To wit: we have been incapable of solving basic problems like ending hunger or war for our entire history. There is zero reason to believe we can actually do anything about something much harder like global warming.

What will happen is what seem to happen to all form of life on planet Earth throughout history (e.g all life before stromatolites started pumping highly poisonous oxygen into the biosphere, or dinosaurs and whatever put them down, etc...): we will go through a cataclysmic, extinction-level event.

What will come out the other side will likely still be life, but unlikely be human, or if it is, vastly changed.

And you can pump out as much empathy as you'd like. As has been repeated ad nauseam, the physical world doesn't give two hoots.

If a solution exists to global warming, it's expansion, nothing else. Musk is correct in that regard.

That's an interesting read, in summary it seems that rises in the minimum wage have a small negative impact, mostly for low paid young people.

That makes sense, there's going to be jobs that just aren't profitable when the wages go up. If I can make $4 on a box of shleem, and the kid who packs the shleem's wages go up $5 I have to pack the shleem myself, or stop selling it.

One thing that the report mentioned, and is maybe a possible cause of this negative increase, was that kids will leave school sooner when the minimum wage is higher. Perhaps to counter the issue there could be some sort of means-tested grant system to help keep kids in school?

Did anyone bother to read the definition?

1. verb "train (someone) to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience."

2. noun "the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience."

So yes, having to wake up to make it to a job at a certain time or else you get in trouble is actually the very definition of discipline.

If people on my team are constantly getting to work late and I have to talk to them to come in early, I've disciplined them and they now change their behavior because of it (come in earlier).

It sounds interesting, but I don't really agree with the idea that we can analogize software development with socio-political organization. There are certainly a lot of interesting similarities, but I would be super careful about drawing any conclusions from it.
The point is it's highly variable. As stated in the first comment: whether it's worth the time and effort is up to you.

I'd argue that 1 year is way too short. The lack of patience causes far more problems today than building up the relationships and gaining the network and momentum to get into higher positions. Most people I know who stuck to a clear goal within a organization that has openings have done better than those who kept jumping around looking for the quick rise.
Ferret – Declarative web scraping
Sure, but you have to have the bad attempts to learn things that don't work or we won't end up with the good ones. We fall into a local maximum instead of exploring farther and potentially going higher. Every dead end is another bit of the map explored when it comes to creating expressive languages.

Now, is there an argument we'd be better off doing that exploration in a space designed to make DSLs easier than in building entirely new languages? That I dunno but it is worth considering.
afaik, it is commonly used to refer to situations where someone makes a joke at the expense of someone less powerful than they are.

do you disagree with my understanding of the definition, or are you implying that jeff bezos is more powerful than a US senator who made a decent run for the presidency and is acting in his official capacity as such?
>Microsoft's biggest internal teams turning against .NET during Longhorn created a schism that the company has never resolved.

From the fragments of leaks I read about the internal strife, the .NET code had huge performance problems and the C++ team was frustrated that "DevDiv" couldn't solve them. ("DevDiv" is Developer Division that owned NET Framework.) Therefore, they ripped a lot of "managed code" out and redid it in native code.

I hope that one day, an ex-Microsoft programmer or product manager writes a tell-all book of this period. It would be a fascinating case study.
