They impose a bizarre notion of C semantics that is not compatible with the language design.

Let's not forget that the standards committee even suggests "behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment" (that's the exact wording from the standard) as one of the possible outcomes of UB, and it's the one that C programmers are most familiar with and also the one most aligned with the spirit of the language.

Thus IMHO the blame falls entirely on the compiler authors for not making reasonable choices. The whole argument that UB makes for great optimisations is not supported by compilers like Intel's ICC, which has historically been much less likely to exploit UB, yet can generate far better code than GCC --- because it is much better at instruction selection/scheduling.
Regardless of what it is now you should be happy it exists, look at present day Turkey and 1960s Iran to see how fast freedoms can be stripped by changes in government. Tomorrow it could be leftists being censored. The Communist Control Act is still around in the US, just hasn't been enforced. There's effectively nothing to stop Trump from calling his enemies communists and throwing them in jail and with his stacked Supreme Court who knows if they would rule it unconstitutional?

That's the weird thing about free speech. Any community explicitly built upon it tends to exclusively attract those in _immediate_ need of it: conspiracy theorists and racists for the most part.

There's still a (naive?) liberal side to me that thinks free expression, even of profoundly stupid ideas, might be a net good for society, but I don't want to be a part of a community that is innundated with nasty weirdos who were kicked off of every other platform, so "free speech" is almost a red flag to me at this point. That's kinda sad.
So if you are concerned with copyright being removed because you think it will increase the freedom of information, how will that not do just the opposite when companies can take open source code and lock it down?

So in this hypothetical future world, not only will their not be a financial motive for people to create works since anything they create can be freely copied, there will also not be an altruistic motive for people to give back to the community through open source knowing that a for profit company can build on top of the work they did and not give back to the community.

This seems like a lose lose.

No it does not. The principle of free speech says nothing about who you are forced to do or not do business with. It only affects expression after all.
"feels like they should stifle"
You are joking, right? Regehr's paper covers a proposed CHANGE to Clang/LVM UB behavior, while I was asking for studies that show advantages of UB "optimization" itself. The numbers show minor changes of performance on an artificial benchmark - some better some worse. Try better.

The absence of any actual studies showing benefits of UB "optimizations" is glaring. I don't care about motivations, which could simply be incompetance.

These stories are fun byput why etiquette? Some of course is for gratuitous exclusion and some just to keep people from killing each other (or simply so that you can often know what to do without having to think about it).

But another important factor is hygiene (a form of not killing each other I suppose). As antibiotic resistance increases and vaccination decreases I wonder if there will be a return to serving spoons, butter knives, not wandering around with food etc. Hand washing has already seen a rise in the west over the past couple of decades, with thinks like MRSA bein one of the drivers.

There are a few candidates. The most obvious case of the technology is currency. Another interesting use case is social media and it's interesting that Steemit wasn't discussed.

I love Steemit's idea (not necessarily implementation) of a decentralized social media platform. All the data is public so now there's a decoupling of the network problem and interface problem. Facebook for example is impossible to compete against due to network effects. If you have a better version of facebook, it's very hard to get people using it because all of their friends are already on Facebook. Steemit decouples the problem by enabling people to create new interfaces to it and everyone with a steemit account can already immediately use it because their account, followers, and the rest is all the same data. Someone connected IPFS to Steemit and created DTube which basically the same thing as Youtube.

Why use a decentralized social media platform? The two biggest reasons are that decoupling the data from the interface creates better and new interfaces and content creators are rewarded with money. Right now, social media companies like Reddit get money for the content you create. With Steemit, the rewards go to those who create content and those who run the network. It seems like a more fairer system. Steemit does have problems though but the idea I think is some version of what we can expect to see more of in the future.
> political motivated punishment

You mean, they didn’t like the “politics” of a company installing devices in their cars whose only purpose was to cheat emissions tests, and then afterward lying about it?

Yes, it’s not really so much about the “environment” per se, and more about the criminal cheating followed by criminal coverup.
> Where did I assert something similar to your example? It seems like a false analogy. The criticism wasn't even that my logic was flawed but that the same argument could somehow be made to justify any user-hostile action.

That's why your logic is flawed. If a construct can be used to "prove" various known-false statements then it has no value in proving anything.

> If the problem in your point of view is that I didn't /prove/ how big of a problem sideloading was then yes, I didn't even attempt to do that. There's a separate subthread on that question.

There is no proof of it there either. The most popular platforms (Android on mobile and Windows on desktop) allow the user to load their own applications, showing not only that it can't be a major cause of failure in the market but that it seems to be a characteristic of the player with the most share.

That's correct, but I fault the Standard committee for not rejecting the peculiar interpretation that allows Compiler developers to assume e.g. overflow does not happen while emitting code that does overflow.
Market forces suck at valuing life.

Each country has to decide whether to shoulder the responsiblity of citizen health, or leave it to the market.

I've had a pretty similar experience when quitting facebook. One think I've noticed is that it forces you to have different kinds of relationships with people. My friends that live on the other side of the country? I text them once a month or so to keep up, not just like their photos on facebook and feel like I'm still friends. I feel like social media tricks you into thinking you're building relationships. And while I see that it can help you keep in touch, it encourages relationships that aren't worthwhile. They are just surface level. Having real relationships with people takes more work and without social media you are forced to work a little harder just to maintain them. But this is worth it in my opinion.
Unfortunately it is not clear that crypto will be able to prevent this. To allow for participation from people in the legacy economy, at some point an exchange between cash and crypto must be made. This is the weak point that can be easily attacked by governments and the banking oligarchy. Additionally, if disfavored entities begin using crypto and thriving on it, the government will simply find an excuse to sieze it under money laundering or terrorism laws, or will make something else up on the spot. Look at what happened to the Liberty Dollar for an example of what can happen to alt currencies when they start to gain real traction.

Remember, all that you have to do is make alt currencies inconvenient enough to use for normal payment needs, and this will discourage people from getting involved. Lower participation deprives the alt economy of goods, services, and the ability to exchange currency for "real" cash.

That doesn't mean that crypto is totally useless, just pointing out that there is not a technical "silver bullet" solution to this problem. Technical solutions must be part of the answer, but these must be backed by political force.
I only wish they would remove the "Likes" counters from social media. It's so easy to get addicted to that and instead of posting stuff that interests you you start planning and posting stuff that gets most likes.

For some people who make it big that way it works out but most people get into that endless cycle of chasing likes.

Only partially. The NYPD was essentially forced by lawsuits and political pressure to shut down stop and frisk. The ACLU lawsuit that parent mentioned, required that police have a valid reason to stop and frisk someone in advance. Think of this as having a business justification for every expense at a company that scrutinizes these requests. Subsequent lawsuits shut down the ability to stop and frisk individuals coming and going from public housing[0]. On top of this, the new NYC mayor, De Blasio, wanted to shut down stop and frisk altogether (one of his major campaign planks).

Part of this is because the vitriol poured out on Gilead over pricing. The cure had actually much cheaper lifetime costs than the treatment, but because the cost was upfront people complained. How much a society is willing to pay for stuff is a real indication of what it actually values. Society has shown that it does not value cures over treatments. You get what you pay for.

I did my driving lessons and my test in a Vauxhall Astra Manual. I then drove a Ford Fiesta Semi-Automatic for 2 and a half years before it failed (edit: late last year). At the dealership remained one second-hand one-previous-owner Vauxhall Astra Manual. Took it for a test drive that day, I was shifting gears and using the clutch perfectly in a large car park after only 5 or so minutes. I drove it back to the dealership myself. I drove it home the following Monday. I passed my Advanced Driving Test in it earlier this year. Some things are definitely not forgotten.

According to Marx [1] our alienation from ourselves, each other, and nature is the product of (the capitalist relation to) labor:

> Through estranged, alienated labor, then, the worker produces the relationship to this labor of a man alien to labor and standing outside it. The relationship of the worker to labor creates the relation to it of the capitalist (or whatever one chooses to call the master of labor). Private property is thus the product, the result, the necessary consequence, of alienated labor, of the external relation of the worker to nature and to himself.

Wiring up their solar shingles isn't cost effective due to labor. Their solar roofs is a negative income stream for Tesla. When is the last time you heard the Solar Roof grow into 'record breaking growth'? It hasn't and it won't because Tesla is still trying to make the labor expense cheaper.

Look into the labor it takes to install an entire Solar Roof vs installing a new roof plus traditional solar installation. On a dollar for dollar basis, it may look competitive but Tesla is selling their Solar Roof's at a loss.

Tesla is selling their Solar Roof at a loss. Not at a profit. It's labor intensive and they aren't growing at a fast rate because of that hidden expense.

Disclosure: I installed around 200kw of solar panels and did a decent amount of research into Tesla's Solar Roof since it seemed so novel and innovative. The wiring of the Solar Roof is much more complicated than what is publicly understood. Tesla's good at PR because most of the public are superficial in their understanding. Tesla most likely saves a lot of money in the manufacturing process of the solar shingles but they lose money due to their complicated wire installation process. How are those shingles connected on the underside? How are those wires protected from the elements, without affecting the plywood on the roof? Etc. These are simple questions that are often overlooked.

Row polymorphism and algebraic data types if we want to talk about things Dart does not have, with an enormous ecosystem at your disposition.

If we want to prioritize a sound type system, why then go for a language that is for the most part Java but with no ecosystem, instead of something like Reason/OCaml, Haskell, PureScript which absolutely blow Dart out of the water as languages; or even if your number one priority is targeting Java devs with something more palatable, why not Kotlin even?

Why give artificial life to a language that was on its deathbed and brings absolutely nothing useful to the ecosystem yet will contribute to the amount of churn suffered in the industry?

You were talking, and I quote you, about "major European cities". You can easily reach most major European cities from 30km away in less than 1 hour using public transport, also after 8pm. Most middle size cities are also quite well covered, depending what you mean by middle size, but 30km away may easily be in the middle of nowhere. If this is the case you are describing, it does not apply to the case of Madrid we are discussing. It is not a generalization, it is a totally different problem.
I've been thinking about this to, but one large example of "open source data" is IEX[0], they provide realtime order book info for thousands of stock/etf/etn tickers. They must see some financial benefit in doing so.

The big reason why those companies pulled back is because they realized that they don't think they will have a monopoly in the long run on being able to monetize the data better than others, every other excuse just seems to be icing on the cake because if they were confident, they open up the data they collect more.

Look,the concept is not subjective. I didn't say a threat actor,I said threat.

I highly recommend looking these things up on your own but the goal of Information security is to reduce the risk that vulnerabilities will be exploited to where a breach of your security goals occurs(i.e.:CIA triad,confidentiality,integrity and availability mostly). It's not to make your system impregnable to all conceivable attacks.

My electric company should have well resourced nation state actors as part of their threat model. They should not only remediate known vulns,they should also employ EDR solutions that perform ML and behavioral detections/preventions. They should be part of their industry ISAC for threat intel sharing (which includes 0days) as well as have a comprehensive threat hunting and incident response program. Your average consumer,howevet has different types of data and attackers to worry about.

A banking trojan cleaning out your account,ransomware demanding payment for your family pictures, an ex installing RATs to monitor what you do are what consumers are threatened with.

Being attackable is not insecurity
Right now you're attackable by an endless list of threats. Your local gang,serial killers,crazy people who shoot up schools,terrorists,etc... But your security is measured by a number of factors including where you live,what you're doing and specific attacker's cost-benefit analysis of attacking you.
No, it’s more like it doesn’t accomplish anything.

The point of stop and frisk is essentially to hassle everyone in a perceived high crime area and grab people with warrants, etc.

My dad worked in NYC public housing in the 90s, and these aggressive policing measures were both effective and welcomed (to a point) by the community, as it pushed out people that were ruining their homes and lives.

Like all things bureaucracy, the metrics ended up mattering more than reality. Aggressive policing became systematic harassment and the police go out of their way to not see things. That’s why you can walk through Rockefeller Center and observe scam cartoon characters hustle tourists 6 feet away from police details. Good metrics are valued higher than the public.

Driving is already cheaper for poor and rich people alike because we're all subsidizing it, by taking on the costs of all their pollution, noise, congestion, danger, infrastructure, policing, etc. The only difference is that the guy driving the old beater pollutes more locally (exhaust), while the EV driver pollutes regionally perhaps (power plant externalities). But they both fuck me climate-wise, so I'm not sure that's even that much of a difference.

Most societies make armed robbery illegal. Is that a "regressive tax" too, because a poor guy is more likely to physically steal my wallet? If so, I accept that. Fuck him. Fuck the rich guy who steals in other ways, sure. But being poor doesn't mean you deserve to screw everybody else, any more than being rich does. My point is that going to the hospital with an asthma attack (or a cracked skull and internal bleeding) is not a good way to subsidize the poor or redistribute wealth. If that's what somebody wants to do, they should just write a check. It's much cleaner.
I find really interesting that over time that style of clothes just became "dressed up", while technically advanced clothing with comfortable cuts is seen as casual or working outfits.
