What Cory misses is that the proposed legislation is technically impossible to implement. Even giants like Facebook and Google cannot do content violation filtering on every media, like text submitted by text area boxes ("citations" over de copying the minimis limit), sound and video. Maintaining hashes of protected content is also technically impossible. Who's gone decide which data will get processed, and from where?

Only the previous legislation is technically implementable, the current proposal will make user input on all European websites illegal, like Hacker news, reddit, WordPress blogs with comments, wikis like wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook,... you name it.
Since Article 13 is such a monumental fuckup people will either ignore it, leading to risk of becoming a random target, or disable all userinput at all. which will be the death of internet 2.0 in europe.

even a theoretical central filtering service will not be able to solve this problem, because registering and filtering all worldwide protected content is not feasible. there will be 5% of some big studios and press agencies content hashed, but not much else. adding legislation on this idea is just destructive. the previous legislation is the only practical and useful way.

It feels unfair to be forced to pay the federal government taxes on money you’ve never seen. If the state takes $10k away from your paycheck before you ever see it, should this really be treated as income for federal taxation purposes?

> Over half of these millennial parents ... say they have a generalized anxiety about not earning enough to support themselves and their families.

That's pretty much the entire reason that my wife and I haven't chosen to start trying for children - we're equal earners, and we don't know if we can afford to have her reduce her hours. It would be a choice to lose any current potential savings safety net we have, and to put a huge hit to our mortgage and our already iffy retirement.

States that have low state and local taxes do so because the federal government subsidizes their low taxness.

Yes and no. Texas and Nevada are bottom 10 ranked on federal funding per capita. They also have no income tax. Alaska and Wyoming are top 10 ranked in federal funding per capita. So it's not as black and white as you're claiming. Revenue comes from many sources at the state level not just income: licenses, mineral rights, sales, property, etc..
You are already responsible for the content users post on your website.

One way to get rid of competition is to upload a shitload of copyrighted material and then sue you for each piece separately

Article 13 is protecting you in the same way your parents protected you teaching you to look around before crossing the street

Proactive is always better than reactive.

Besides, if your problem is "too much content to be actively moderated", you already had more success than most.

Get there before complaining.
It's not as easy as it looks.

I know many companies that are making hundreds of thousands of euros and they have just 2 or 3 people working on content moderation (because, as I've said before, you are already responsible for the content posted on your platform)

I wouldn't consider #1-3 to be issues with OCaml syntax. It took me a while to understand what was going on with them, but once I did, I had a solid understanding of expressions vs statements, which has helped me understand functional programming better in general. IMO blending the syntax for the two will make the earliest stages of learning easier but cause confusion and longer learning curves in the long run.
You're surprised it took this long, then outline some of the harder issues that would make it take a long time to implement correctly.

Not only that, but those are policy / design issues. The technical implementation of this at Amazon scale isn't trivial, then adding in fraud detection <for this tool> so folks don't abuse it too.

The assumption that Amazon doesn't care about this problem, the fake reviews problem and others killing their marketplace vs. the problems being difficult to solve that permeates the comments here gets tiring.

There is no logical reason why they wouldn't care when they try to cultivate customer satisfaction and loyalty (they're one of the most loved companies in America) in every other aspect of their business.
The biggest ones off the top of my head are:

1) Transportation. Most spending in this area is by the federal government. But dense areas that rely on public transportation have to rely heavily on state and local taxes to support projects, whereas many roads, bridges, and even intersections are built in suburban and rural areas almost entirely with federal dollars. This is part of why our country has so little public transportation versus other countries. The federal government spends disproportionately on roads, which benefits certain areas and segments of the population a lot more than others.

2) Healthcare. Many states began expanding healthcare after the Affordable Care Act brought in Medicaid expansion. This is almost entirely paid for by the federal government. Higher-tax states already had higher levels of healthcare spending through programs to expand coverage. Some states like Massachusetts already had models like the ACA in place. Many higher-tax states have unionized state and local workers who are provided with high-quality healthcare and insurance. In other states where a lot of outsourced, it is a much different picture.
The main issue is developing device drivers is very complicated and difficult to get right. A sensible approach IMO would be to have ReactOS run virtualized on top of the Linux kernel. That way Users get all of the stability benefits of Linux, plus hardware support. The ReactOS team would then be able to concentrate on Windows compatibility, while only developing a few drivers for virtualization. The downside with this approach is a huge performance hit on computers without virtualization extensions. However I think the main use case of ReactOS is to provide a way to run old windows programs on modern hardware, so I don't think this would be a concern for most potential commercial users.

I've read that the disposable packaging is actually reused/recycled so it may not be so wasteful. Tablets can be a pain to use, I agree. If the software is stable and with good/simple UI, I'd say the benefits (syncing/automatic plan generation/auditing/inventory) outweigh the inconveniences. As for the wall protectors, I'd say those are also filling the role of giving homeowners peace of mind. Sure I'd appreciate the ding in the wall getting patched (are you going to match the paint exactly as well?), but I'd prefer avoiding any scratch or ding all-together. Can't say too much about the number of people they have, perhaps their methodology is to do more work in parallel to increase their throughput.
They definitely mention it!

"Those who do not have parental assistance in their 30s, however, continue to be at a disadvantage. “They are grappling with paying off student-loan debt, their savings might not be as strong because of that, and many are taking care of other family members,” said Iimay Ho, 32, the executive director at Resource Generation, an organization that works with people ages 18 to 35 with wealth or class privilege to engage on issues of inequality."

...

"For those without parental cash at the ready, there’s often some kind of debt hangover that holds them back in significant ways. Roger Quesada, 34, calls his $65,000 of student-loan debt to Sallie Mae, which incurs $400 a month in interest payments alone, “a jail sentence.” A lapse in his payments ruined his credit, he said, and has hampered his financial and career aspirations."

And I feel for it, too. Compounding debt instead of compounding interest. Reminds me of a very relevant Onion headline:

What were the differences between the Go and Rust versions that led you to choose the Rust version in the end?
I'm just curious since I'd be on the total opposite side of this argument. What makes you so vehemently against family helping their sons/daughters along the way? I come from a culture where this is fairly standard practice in families. What is so evil or disgusting about it?
By that reasoning one should be able to write off federal taxes off of their federal taxes.

I wish Ulrich Drepper (thank you, Mr. Drepper) would update this with a section on Row Hammer and also Spectre and Meltdown. Programmer's need to know about memory because of these exploits, more so with the latter two in order avoid creating exploitable gadgets.

But then I also think that What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic should be updated to include UNUMs. I don't think that will happen either. Also, thank you Mr. Goldberg.

The people who are, at a minimum, deliberately lying to make the alleged victims of torture that they have funded less sympathetic and discredit the accusations are, if ethically motivated at all, motivated by only the most sick and twisted ethics.

I assume your family has a couple generations of America under their belt? If so, I'm not surprised you find the statement your op to taste bad. It's fundamentally opposed to the American value system (though as this article indicates, at odds with the reality of America today).

Are they wrong? If you had time to apply for colleges because you had housing in high school and didn't have to work all day to pay for food and housing, are you truly independent? If you didn't have to fetch your own water every morning and hunt your food? Maybe you think I'm taking the argument too far, but I see where they are coming from. True "freedom" is a bit of a myth, and shouldn't it be? Do you want to be the sole party responsible for ensuring your medicine isn't laced with arsenic?

In any case, other cultures have taken on the idea of familial responsibility and wealth to great success by their own measures. Just because it is different, doesn't mean it's bad.
It's a little interesting to see the contrast between the DEA as a straight-laced government agency, and the patches they make. Frankly speaking, there's an "edginess" to it that's hard to reconcile with their public image.

It's a neat little language. The benefits are real when coming from JS, but not that special when you consider other languages. Basically everything said in favour of Elm is completely true, but it's not the whole story.

The ecosystem offers some trivial packages, but the hard stuff is missing. JS interop is intentionally quite painful. I'd consider it sufficient for fairly trivial SPA use, but lacking for anything large or anything requiring browser APIs.

The language development is a big red flag: virtually all commits have been made by a single developer. There are no RFCs, and the future direction of the language is very unclear. Any discussions about potential improvements are immediately killed. Releases are infrequent, and may cause very significant breakage, depending on your application.

It's probably the best thing in the JS ecosystem in a long time and i really want it to succeed and to use it more, but the current state isn't that great. Maybe in a year or ten.

As a personal point, my taxes went up $18K because of this change. It is my personal belief that the change in the tax code here was specifically targeted blue states for political reasons by the republicans. My wife and I are thinking about leaving after the kid finishes school. The interesting thing is the long term consequences might be that enough people leave NY and CA and move to traditional red states to change them to blue. To be clear we were already thinking about moving before this change. This just add one more reason.

That’s not double taxation. The federal government takes X% of the total. The state government takes Y% of the total. They’re aware of each other. They can coordinate accordingly.

Avoidance of double taxation is not accomplished with a deduction it is done with a tax credit. That is when I pay A% of tax first to the country of primary residence, and then work out I need to pay B% to a country that has secondary claim on it, I can deduct the whole amount of A tax from B tax.

I understand the inequitable spending. Yes richer states subsidize poorer states. But is the right solution to that a complication of the tax system? I don’t think so. I think that’s a spending problem that should be addressed for what it is. And it will never be possible to have equitable spending. There will always be poorer and richer parts of the country. We can’t make the poorer parts richer by giving them less money. Within a state like CA or NY there are also richer and poorer parts that may not get equal spending from the state.

People in CA and NY get a raw deal mostly because they wind up paying as much (if not often more) taxes as countries that offer universal healthcare, or better education, (and which can manage to build a friggen railway). But that again isn’t resolved by an extra federal deduction. It’s resolved by addressing the dysfunctions or poor spending priorities head on.

To which the complaint is usually again that the fault lays with the poor “red states” who prevent that. To which I say, no stop scape goating. Nancy Pelosi is from CA and doesn’t support fixing any of those things. She’s a blue state representative at the highest level of the house. So no, CA and NY politicians are just as much a part of the problem. Stop blaming “red staters”.
Whether something is "inherently" wrong depends entirely on your own moral philosophy, but one downside to parental dependency is that it perpetuates and exaggerates class division.
It makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Property owners use their powers to increase prices on non-owners, efficiently siphoning off as much of their income as they can. In a lot of cases this amounts to parents siphoning off their children's income, so why wouldn't they have both the ability and obligation to kick back that income? Seems like one of the main effects will be greater interfamily inequality.

The housing trick only works in some places though, so the best way to break free of this is to move to a 2nd or 3rd tier city and try to make it on your own. Many thing (jobs, free parental childcare, aesthetic preferences etc) make this not possible for many.
Because in the US we have a market economy. Taking family assistance when others do not have it, distorts the market and also distorts the very concept of merit based rewards. Which is the fundamental device of the economic system in the US. I cannot speak for other economic systems.

With a 1.5 hour commute each way that effectively becomes a second, part time job and destroys your life. Time is money and even housing bears that out. Housing prices are absolutely based around two incomes at this point.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that we should try to stop this in either case. There's a balance to be found in both cases, and it's the correct balance point that is being discussed.
For fun, I tried porting the Wren interpreter from C to Go and it was about 3x slower. There are a couple of issues:

- Giant switch statements are not optimized as well as C.
- In C you can do tricks like NaN encoding to create a union between floats and pointers. In Go, this doesn't work and you have to use an interface.

There might be a garbage-collected language that lets you write efficient interpreters (perhaps Julia?) but I don't think you can take this for granted.
I doubt its designed for non urban areas. Which seems sensible as multipath interference is not a huge problem (save for a few places)

Trying to get decent GPS fixes in urban canyons is pretty hard. Hence why uber have been doing multipath mapping (https://eng.uber.com/rethinking-gps/)

The other thing to note is that the "VPS" (ugh, stupid name) would work indoors as well, something GPS/Glonass/Galileo can't do.

Using visual keypoints has much bigger advantages, unless you're using a 360 camera (and most people really arn't they are terrible) you not only get potentially a much more accurate location, but you get a heading too. something GPS only gives you with two or more samples.

Depending on what or how the "VPS" works, those same keypoints could be passed to the client so that local tracking can be more accurate.

So, is it a GPS replacement? no, does it provide something GPS can't do? yes, very much yes.
