You can't assume a methodology is good just because it's popular. That's how you get cargo cults.

But if a methodology violates the standards, it's almost certainly bad.
There is nothing stupid with Chapter 11. The owners get nothing until all creditors are made full, so the incentives work just as well as under alternative regimes. The difference is simply that there is a chance for the business to continue. Which is really better for all involved, creditors, employees, customers, and vendors.

The alternative alternative, i. e. starting from the assumption that business must shut down, is really a legacy of the times when a business and its owners were hard to separate. There may also be some sort of misplaced morality at play, where „Radio Shack must die“ to atone for the sin of running out of money.

Inflation isn't really theft because:

- you knew it was part of the deal when you chose to hold fiat

- you can get interest on it to counter the inflation

- it benefits borrowers

- the money effectively goes to the government if not borrowers so it's more like taxation than theft.
How much of this is legit missing, and how much of it is a ploy (?) to restructure payments? That is, is a temporary hit to reputation / confidence acceptable if the longer term benefit to the bottom line is significant enough?
There’s no compounding here, since the property tax is a fee and not a reduction in the value of the asset, so I don’t think that’s applicable.

Spot on analysis of the logical fallacies this author relies on to make their point. It's too bad, because his analysis and summary of many of the features of blockchain and cryptocurrencies is quite good.

Every year I give financial support to civil liberty organizations such as the Institute for Justice (https://ij.org) and the Pacific Legal Foundation (https://pacificlegal.org). Because, after you demonize certain people as a justification for treating them any way you want, you find some of them aren't really that bad and are just trying to protect what they worked hard to get in the first place.

So, rather than try to fire up the mobs with appeals to emotion, I'd much rather fund those organizations which are fighting for individual rights in the courts and with the law.

The advice is sound, IMO. Fine arts teach in this way and it’s an accepted best practice.

The approach is reductionist and aims for solving the right problems first. You can reach for color, typography, etc after you’ve done the legwork to know your design satisfies basic constraints. It’s hard for me to generalize the statement, but learning to design this way (BFA at a well-known fine arts college) had an immediate positive effect on the usability of my apps and readability of print media. I still use the technique today.
It's a feature. The black market economy is part of the overall economy, and at least a double digit percentage of it. Elimination of black markets means a massive overall economic loss for a country.

No government wants to completely eliminate all black markets. They just want to control them enough that they're taking their slice of the pie, and prevent certain markets which involve things like violent crimes which have bigger societal effects.

"Crime" without victims is wasting law enforcement resources. Tax money should be spent fighting real problems and not the virtual problems made up to have a perceived moral high ground.

Government over-regulation, or over-enforcement of regulation leads to economic stagnation and has the opposite intention of pushing people towards black-markets. It's a delicate balance.
You're thinking of Franz.
Unlike cars, all commercial airliner ops are under instrument flight rules -- meaning positive control by ATC at all times.

Speed and heading are all known. Mandatory spacing and separation minimums are enforced, ATC calls out traffic and any re-routing from the flight plan requires clearance. While in cruise, autopilot use is generally required.

If we had to file a driving plan, get clearance, wait for a departure slot, and use cruise control/autosteer to maintain a set speed and routing every single time, it probably cut down on car accidents as well.

> Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm confused. Aren't mutexes always supposed to have ownership which implies that only the locking thread can unlock them?

Mutexes are supposed to ensure that exactly one thread can accesses resource ("have the lock") at a time. There's no fundamental reason you can't pass the lock from one thread to another, as long as they don't both have it at once. But it may not be supported by the particular mutex implementation. It's not supported by the recursive mutexes the author was using, and I'd bet there are also non-recursive mutex implementations which don't support it. I agree with the author that it's great Rust can catch this sort of mistake.

btw, I think recursive mutexes and handing off locks are bad ideas. Both for the same reason: I want short critical sections to improve contention.

* Code that uses recursive mutexes tends to be sloppy about this; it's unclear from reading a section of code whether it even has the lock or not. (This also sounds like a recipe for deadlock when you need multiple locks.) I'd much rather structure it so a given piece of code is run only with or without the lock. In C++, I use lock annotations [1] for this. If I need something to be callable with or without the lock, I might have a private "DoThingLocked()" bit, and a public "DoThing()" bit that delegates while holding the lock. This should also be more efficient (though maybe it's insignificant) because there's no run-time bookkeeping for the recursive mutex.

* Handing off the mutex to another thread also feels like a smell that you're holding the lock longer than you need. I don't recall a time I've ever needed to do it. From the description here, it seems totally reasonable to hold a mutex while getting a connection from the pool and while returning one to it, but not between. I'd think you could get the connection, then create the new thread (passing the connection to it).

Respectfully, do I care if my program works the first time, or by the deadline? I don't care if the first ten times I run it, it just bombs out with interpreter errors. Doesn't seem to result in my having slower output than anyone else I'm working with.
But did they switch because they could get more money from Google, because they could give users better search results with Google, or because they didn't want to confuse users who google things and get confused that the google is broken and says bing instead?
Yeah, at this point pragmatism meets principle. All of the above is true, but given a choice, why choose a platform where you even might have to 'work round it'?

Etherpad might look more scary, but it's designed specifically to promote inclusion and liberating data.

> Seems like your objection would be solved by the proposal.

No, it wouldn't. In fact the proposal would make things worse, because it would give an even greater level of control to governments than they have now. Right now, all they can do is give me a ticket if I'm speeding. Under this proposal, they would be able to remove control of my car from me altogether based on some arbitrary limit. That is thousands of disasters waiting to happen.

> Towns would no longer have this bullshit revenue source, and might actually set the limits to a reasonable level instead of one intended to make you screw up.

You have much more faith than I do in the ability of the government to know better what is reasonable and prudent under a given set of conditions than the person actually driving the car in those conditions. Not to mention their ability to ensure a safe implementation of the actual mechanics of the proposal.

The point is they are selling out your privacy for money. A lot of it.
If they weren't getting paid they'd just switch to Bing or DuckDuckGo. As much as Google might like to believe that people will specifically seek them out because they are a better product, search is a utility and most people will be fine with Bing/DuckDuckGo. We know this exactly because Google pays TAC.

No, just an even worse power put in the hands of governments.

Try this thought experiment: suppose we are at some point in the future, when self-driving cars are ubiquitous and are proven to be safer than human-driven cars. Do you want governments to have the ability to force your self-driving car to do something based on some arbitrary setting of a limit, controlled by government bureaucrats? Or do you want to have control over what algorithms your self-driving car runs and what actions it takes if it detects a problem?

I figure part of it is the way malware plays out in PR terms. The headlines would read iOS malware steals private data, not Moron sideloads malware onto iPhone, subverting the appstore they already paid to curate.

Personal responsibility doesn't play much of a role in the media response to these incidents, so Apple are well motivated to prevent customers getting root access to their own devices. (To say nothing of the lucrative appstore business model.)

I recall sideloaded Android malware getting this kind of silly response. Hardly Google's fault if you go out of your way to compromise your device, but it can still make for bad publicity.

As it is, the only 'open avenue' on iPhone is to use the browser.

Property taxes can’t really do this if you own the property. Worst case take out an extra mortgage to pay taxes and you can stay on the same land for another 30 years without paying anything else out of pocket.

Kotlin is an improvement insofar as it does a decent job of resolving insanity like the "object-oriented-but-you-have-to-cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back-when-you-say-it" type system. But it's still not a great example for static typing, insofar as you're still working with Java's half-baked type semantics where the set of types the language understands is a superset of the set of types that are expressible on the underlying platform. Meaning that the set of types that can exist is quite a bit (I'm guessing uncountably infinitely) larger than the set of types that you can non-contortively deal with when doing generic programming.

Scala gets around this by attempting to extend the type system in deeply incompatible ways. Which mostly works, as long as you don't care about compatibility.

Clojure gets around this through a combination of dynamic typing and Rich Hickey including a section titled "I Don't Need Any Sour Grapes" in every lecture he delivers in public.

Of the three, TBH, I think Clojure has the best approach. You can't build proper static typing on top of the JVM without breaking compatibility with the rest of the Java ecosystem. At which point, why bother with the JVM at all?
