If this surprises you, you must not understand Google's business model at all.

They give you services for "free" (or cheap) so they can use your data for marketing analysis. The thermostat tells Google when you're home and when you're not, tells them when you go to bed and when you wake up. Tells them when you go on vacation, and with the Nest Mobile App, where you went for vacation. Tells them how frugal you are with energy.

This is a lot of valuable data to a marketing company, so of course they aren't going to lock themselves out of it.
You are only as safe as your boss permits you. Tomorrow he may leave/get fired/die; the person replacing him may not be as tolerant of your actions.

There are perhaps languages out there which are better than Lisp for maintenance in some respect, but it's none of the mainstream ones. Lisp code is not particularly harder or easier to maintain; most of that depends on the original author(s) as with any codebase.

> can you give us a definition of "modern"

Ah, I should have probably said "airports with modern equipment" as I presume this stuff is susceptible to periodic updates regardless of the age of the airport. I suppose it does need a fairly recent baggage management system. For reference, it happened to me at Adelaide airport in Australia, which is about 10 years old. I guess then by modern I mean any first-world airport built within the last decade or so?

As noted I've flown with li-on and everything else in checked baggage a million times too and it was the first time it happened to me, so I assume the mandate is fairly recent.

That story is ridiculous, but makes me wonder what would happen if you tried to bring through a frozen bottle of water?
I don't hold it, I invest it in productive things, like I said. I sell those productive assets when I need to buy something substantial, and I use the US Dollar as a medium of exchange and unit of account. You know, a currency. I don't hold it for long enough for 3% annual inflation to make a meaningful dent in my net worth.

It's also trivially false that nobody ever forced a deflationary currency on people, the US dollar used to backed by gold. If your argument is the US dollar is/was forced on people, then the argument is moot.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
Sad to see Silicon Graphics so far down this list.

IRIX Indigo Magic Desktop was the Rolls Royce of user interfaces in an era when Apple computers couldn't even do multi-tasking and PC's still had an interface (Windows) that sat on MS-DOS. Linux was a 'toy' with a GUI that was positively 'off-brand' and the Sun version of X-Window was just plain awkward, clunky and slow. Meanwhile, on SGI computers, you could have a 'CPU eater' 3D rendered desktop background with real-time video compositing in 3D scenes going on in your programs.

SGI computers were also 'useless' at things normal people used PCs for. So no spreadsheets and certainly no word-processors. Games were also lacking, yet so many games were built with SGI machines.

Regarding the design of the boxes, nothing exuded power and awe in quite the same way. Racks of SGI hardware made a place 'mission control', other stuff is just data centre plumbing that just does not project a futuristic vision of cool. To take an automotive analogy a gaggle of SGI machines was more like a Formula 1 grid of cars whereas any other computers en-masse just looked like a supermarket car park.

There was something accessible about video and 3D on the SGI machines that has not been seen since. Hardware may be better today but it does not compel you to want to play with it.

I blame Microsoft for destroying SGI even though there were problems with the wider SGI management and business model. We ended up with a 2D flat web whereas had SGI been around then I am sure that things would have been 3D, in the browser, as per the awesome demos that came with the machines back then.

node.js's API and require() was based on CommonJS [1], and server-side JS was a thing since the Netscape times around 1996.

Prolog's API (and syntax) became a formal standard only in 1995, but Edinburgh Prolog was widely used way before (early 1980's or earlier) [3].

The scripting language for the Macintosh's rolodex-type database (Hypercard) called "HyperText". I'm not aware of any more natural language scripting tool before or since. I can still write code in it, some two decades later...
For example:
'put the first character of the third word of line 5 of card field "sometext" into theChar'
or
'put the value of card field "typehere" * 1.25 into theValue'

Looks like we have a category mismatch.

You seem to care about the classification and definitions of questions present in the survey.

I care about finding ways for men (myself included) to understand and think about their blind spots regarding sexual harassment.

I am not saying that you are wrong within your chosen frame of what you care about. I am saying is that your frame is not very relevant to my frame.

I am also saying that focusing on the survey question is indicative of how you rank the importance about these issues.

I often felt that I was getting distracted way too much, but I couldn't stop it.
About a year ago when my depression got back on track I just shut myself off of every service I had. I quit facebook, deleted all unnecessary apps from my phone, muted it completly and turned off the thing that the display lights up if you get a new message. I even let my phone at home when I was not expecting any major call. If people called me I just called them back when I was at home and had time for it.
All of this went out way better than I ever would've thought. I feel super relieved and relaxed nowadays. Because I started a new job I carry my phone with me now most of the day, but it is still muted most of the time. It is even fun to see if there is something new on the internet without getting notified about it instantly. Now I decide when I want to take a break and what I want to look for, not my Smartphone or something else.

Your article seems to be making a distinction between the Cantillon effects and Money Neutrality.

"In principle, it could be argued that Cantillon Effects focus on the short-term effect of changes in money supply, but that money neutrality is a long term characteristic of money. Short-run effects in resource allocation are typically not denied, usually due to the fact that they alter “sticky” prices, such as wages." It then goes on to argue that Money Neutrality shouldn't be taken as a given.

I don't think the article states money neutrality is fallacious, though, and I couldn't find any substantiating claims within it. I suppose the argument I am making is for money neutrality. That yes, the initial recipients of capital are temporarily advantaged being able to purchase assets are pre-inflation prices. However, over time, this does balance out. The market makes it so. I'm not sure, maybe I'm missing something? I'd love to read more on this if you think I am.

That said Bitcoin has a worse Gini ratio than any banana republic, worse wealth distribution and all sorts of other economic factors, and an unbounded cost to transact that as a fixed fee unfairly burdens the poor -- that just make it worse all around than the existing USD based financial system.

The lib was created to simplify our routes usages. This is done by matching an uniq code to a route (we never identify a route to its href).

This lib allows us, via bindings, to use path params and query params, and context informations on top of that. context informations are the data you are putting in route definitions, like "is this route public?"

So this lib aims to simplify the maintenance of your routes:

We use uniq route code to identify routes, meaning that if you change related href your code is not impacted
We describe routes as nested components
We allow to put context informations into routes definition
context informations are copied from parent to children and can be overwritten, meaning that you can put a isPublic: false flag on a parent (and only on a parent), and all your children will have this isPublic: false set.

Spoken like someone who never had to support some old feature because "maybe there is one user who still uses it". Features have a cost. Disabling features and removing them if they are no longer useful for the majority is a valid response to limited resources. I'd rather see Mozilla work on features that are useful and secure than garbage from yesteryear.
Why a blockchain?

ipfs [0] already provides persistent immutable links.

Creating a torrent with a feed for updates [1] would also provide distributed storage and hashing of the content with the ability to publish updates.

Or they could create a git repo and encourage others to mirror the git repo, such that they couldn't rebase away history without those mirrors noticing.

Or, and here's a radical idea, they could physically print and deliver papers to people, which means any updates would have to be included as noted amendments in future delivered papers.

However, why would any business want to do this? News sites these days are built on complex dynamic content and ads, which is antithetical to distributing the content in any such ways. If you can download just the text of the article, they're losing ad views. If you download the ads too, it now changes each time a new person purchases an ad on their ad network.

This is blockchain trying to dream up a problem for publishers which those publishers don't think they have.
If they did have that problem, a git repo would be the most mature and simple way to implement it, not "blockchain" which includes nothing as mature as git under its umbrella.

I agree.

If you need to move a fix into multiple branches, isolate that fix in its own branch to begin with. The entire branch is the cherry. Each target branch deserves its own merge because chances are, seeing as the thing is so critical, the merge needs adequate attention each time to get done correctly (causing more work and friction is sometimes healthy).

If you're reaching the end of your sprint and your branch isn't ready to merge, chances are the entire branch could use another sprint in the oven. You've completely run out of time and you want to isolate a few changes, that's great if you want to move fast and break things.

In TFVC (and SVN, CVS, Perforce, etc.), branches are expensive. It has taken me months to "unteach" people at work antipatterns that arise due to that. Management still doesn't get it - there is this holdout perspective that branches have to be micromanaged. This was the only sensible way to manage the mess caused by TFVC+co.

If you're finding unusual degrees of friction with Git (Mercurial, Bitkeeper, etc.), chances are that you're artificially introducing issues caused by your legacy version control and trying to solve them. Start forgetting and unlearning.
Here's the thing... One rich-person-year is typically equal to 4 common-person-year. Why? Rich people (defined here as folks with net worth of $100M+) can spend all of the time in things they desire. They can outsource almost all of the chores like cleaning house or doing taxes or laundry or cooking leaving more free time besides not having to do 8-hour jobs. Their transportation and commute is frictionless and doesn't penalise their effective available lifespan. They have approximately 13 hours available in each day to acquire desired experiences while a common person has only 3 hours. Things are actually bit more worse for a common person because the available experiences for them is far more limited. They can't fly out to Paris in personal jet, have dinner in 3 star michelin restaurant and fly back while taking a nap in cushy bed. In other words, a rich person typically gets to have 4X experiences in same period of time than a common person. In other words, if human common-man life span was 60 years, the effective life span of a rich person is approximately 240 years.
I believe that was the evidence provided by the great outsourcing experiment of 1996-2006. Turns out programming can't easily be turned into a low-skill job.

SGI Cosmo Worlds.

This was a VRML authoring tool that worked on a PC. The interface was like a cut down Maya in some respects but it was also 'better than Maya' if you wanted a real time scene graph with scripts to make it interactive with sounds and content updated in 'frames' outside the 3D window.

This software was well ahead of its time and more fun than Lego. However, much like Lego, you did need to have a child-like level of creativity and ability to get absorbed in non-addictive play. Games can have you hooked for hours, for you to feel guilty for wasting time. Spending the same time creating virtual worlds in Cosmo Worlds was just as absorbing, however, you could feel quite proud of what you made at the end, much like childhood Lego experiences.

Despite how brilliant Cosmo Worlds was and how sophisticated one's creations were, the problem was that the rest of the world were not on the same page. They were happy with faux 3D and a flat, 2D world, particularly when it came to the web. We are still stuck in the boring 'Windows' 2D world and do not appreciate what the people at SGI were trying to do.

Love Squaresoft. Also love Enix though, they did some great games (E.V.O., Robotrek, Actraiser, DragonQuest, Bust a Groove). But I agree, after the merger, they both seemed a little less interesting and unique. I always loved how quirky all the games were.

Also, Koei games are amazing.
This is childish argument. Just because some people put their energy in one topic or issue does not imply that they don't care about others. Case in point, "you're debating strangers on the internet while the Rohingya are being subject to genocide - clearly you think people debating studies is more important that an entire culture getting eradicated." It is unwarranted to say that people asking for greater clarifications of these terms don't care about reducing sexual harassment.

Regardless, I wasn't even the original commenter that pointed out the ambiguity of this item in the survey. I only responded after roenxi asked for greater context, and other commenters replied with the unqualified assumption that this item was universally interpreted by respondents as only referring to coercive advances. I merely pointed out the fact that, as it was worded in the original document, it was not exclusive to coercive advances and potentially included non-harassment examples that would fit under the terms used (and provided an example).

Also, if my frame of discussion isn't relevant to you then why did you respond in the first place?
