Well, neither are comparable to typescript/js, so I'm not sure what your point is. Both add heavy language features and runtimes that are completely absent from Typescript's additions. Typescript truly is javascript with type annotations and validations.

Yes that probably helps a lot. Also they don’t hire fresh college grads, so you generally have less of the “wow this was clearly written by a junior engineer” type of maintenance. The low hanging fruit is mostly picked when it comes to architecture and optimization.
In a world where the citizenship and nationhood has been intentionally shattered to usher in a new globalist aristocratic feudal type system, where foreign threats are intentionally injected and infested and imposed upon “citizens”, you are going to see ever increasing rationalization and justification and threat events to push ever more authoritarianism to turn on their own “citizens”, more accurately described as human capital, that the elite need to shuffle around until they’re no longer needed when AI and automation and robotics takes over.

> relatively linear / easy path to success due to being naturally talented

I don't really believe that.

> lack the understanding for how to properly lead the people in society who don’t integrate as well into these existing systems.

Not really about that either.

Looking at things the way you do is a very "good grades" point of view.

When I was talking about "bad grades" people problems as government problems, I meant like being a beneficiary of a social assistance program like SNAP. The only person Andrew Yang regularly interacts with on SNAP is his kids' nanny. He's never lived that life, never received government assistance, practically no one in "good grades" society has during their adult life. The nanny didn't fail to integrate into "existing systems." She doesn't lack "natural talent."

An idea of "good grades" society is systemizing comparisons like that, that one person is better than another at something, whereas government leadership is fundamentally about one person-one vote and preserving the commons.
> It won't take itself to a stall unless you keep pulling, but it doesn't take extra back pressure to get it there either.

It won't "take itself" but possibly just a very light pull would stall the plane in some situations, and that is the very safety problem which Boeing tried to solve with MCAS, while keeping silent on its existence, because the plane is behaving differently than the one for which the pilots trained. Which is the opposite of how the plane was advertised and sold.

So any time when the MCAS is off the plane behaves differently than the one for which the pilots trained, therefore "just keep it turned off" was also not an option.

And we don't know how "light" is light, it can really be the case that it's even dangerously light.
They being the people who first started creating and marketing these seed oils for consumption. What the oils really are, are hydrogenated seed oils.

Note that article mentions both naturally pressed plant oils, and the hydrogenated oils, but then a point that mentions what oils are only allowed to be called vegetable oils: In the US, the Standard of Identity for a product labeled as "vegetable oil margarine" specifies only canola, safflower, sunflower, corn, soybean, or peanut oil may be used.[8] Products not labeled "vegetable oil margarine" do not have that restriction.

Again note none of them are vegetables, they are all seeds, and go through a hydrogenatation process which makes them brittle. Again all mentioned in the article you linked to me.

Also interesting is that right at the end of the article is how some countries insist that labelling them vegetable oils isn't enough and that the true ingredient must be listed.

Also notice they do rename things for marketing, like canola instead of rapeseed (as they though rape wouldn't sell). I guess "hydrogenated seed oils" doesn't sell as well and so they called them "vegetable oils".
> So what is this DRM supposed to achieve?

It's a good point, but I believe DRM isn't just about piracy. It's also about control. I read a good article about this once, but I can't find it anywhere right now so I'll summarize what I remember.

As long as DRM exists, if you want to make a Blu-ray player you have to go and ask the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator for their blessing, so that you can decrypt and play (for example) AACS-protected media. It doesn't really matter that AACS has been broken since early 2007 and that pirates can easily circumvent it - as long as you want to sell a player above-board and not risk potential lawsuits, you still have to go and license it.

(This might not be true for AACS in particular, but AFAIK it is generally true of more recent content protection systems.)

That's when the control part kicks in. Good luck getting that Blu-ray player approved for content decryption if it allows the user to skip commercials, or make small clips of movies and send them to your friends, or other such features. I do believe there would be some amount of demand for those features - well, mostly the first one. However, I don't see the AACS LA ever approving such features while having Disney and Warner Bros as founding members[0].

I'll try to find the original article I got those ideas from. I'll reply again if I ever find it.

Today, you can order an Impossible Burger from the Bar Louie on 23rd St in Crystal City, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. - It's my favorite item on the menu, and I'm not a vegetarian. It's more tender, juicy, and tastier than a "real" burger patty.

Not sure about other Bar Louie locations.

Burger King has had vegetarian burger patties supplied by Morning Star Farms for around two decades now. These were the standard for quality for a long long time. I am glad something as amazing as Impossible Burger has stepped in to advance the legacy.

An interview on the performance challenges of FaaS cloud architectures
You'd be surprised how much documentation you can download. And the ones that are hosted on sites, those sites are often just git repos that you can clone. A few of them (like webpack.org) are trickier because you have to build the static site while online, but then you can run it offline (via python -m SimpleHTTPServer). There's tons of little tricks like this you can use to get documentation for pretty much anything you need. Not to mention Zeal (open source Dash clone) for tons of other things, Win32 API has a CHM file, and actual books at the library work great like for Python or C++, which often have the whole standard library in them, or at least most of it. And it's always a pleasant surprise when an NPM module bundled its thorough README.md file right into the package file (and often even more docs than that), and sometimes even the original source code, so that all I have to do is run `code node_modules/webpack-dev-server` and press Cmd-Shift-V (to preview .md file as Markdown in VS Code) and then it's as if I'm right there on their GitHub page. Also Safari has an amazingly useful feature of saving a page exactly as-is into a single file that can be opened in Safari, instead of saving all the external files into a sibling folder like Chrome does.

Other forms of agriculture also contribute to deforestation. There are also situations where some grasslands may be suitable for grazing but cannot be sustainably made suitable for crops, and situations where livestock can be fed with byproducts of other agriculture.

Livestock are a central part of traditional agriculture and they're more or less essential for people who want to operate small-scale sustainable farms. It's a complicated issue that too many people enter with ideological presuppositions. Which is not to say current agricultural practices are necessarily perfect.

I hoped from the intro that they would be suggesting an approach that was standard at Google a decade ago, that the rest of the world never adopted.

But no such luck.

However if anyone is creating a distributed product today in 2019, here is an excellent suggestion. Free of charge.

In whatever common code you have for your RPCs, add the ability for an RPC message to be traced. If it is traced, then you will log when it is received, when you reply to it, and also cause all RPC messages you send while handling it to also be traced.

At your front end you can then pick an arbitrary fraction of your traffic, say 1%, and trace it.

Tracing such a small fraction of traffic means that you can instrument it in real time, gather the logs, and create a complete view of how each web request cascaded through your system. And then whenever you run into a slow request that only happens for a small fraction of your traffic you can find a request that was both instrumented and slow, and then dig into those rare problems that happen here and there, then add up.

If you don't do this, then good luck tracking down the performance problems that happen 5% of the time, 3 RPC calls from the front.
This comment is not without merit, and it's a good point. Everyone here is complaining about this, yet it's true: Google is still highly profitable. Would they be more profitable if they had a more seemingly-sensible management and weren't pissing people off with this behavior? It's impossible to say I think. Perhaps it eventually will bite them in the ass though, because it doesn't really seem like a good way to run a company long-term. But for now, it's definitely making the executives a lot of money, as well as many engineers.

I think all this does show how dysfunctional many human organizations are where chasing the new shiny is rewarded much more than keeping things stable and running correctly. Can you imagine if airplane manufacturers were run this way?

> So is Verizon responsible even though nobody at Verizon had anything to do with it?

Imagine if CompuServe still existed, but they had undergone 100% employee turnover in recent years. They'd still be liable, right?

It seems to me that when Verizon bought CompuServe, they calculated that its assets minus its liabilities totaled less than the purchase price and hence it was a good deal. If we treat leakable data as a legal liability, it should send the right financial signal - eg, maybe as a company you don't want to collect much.
> in Poland it is perfectly legal to watch copyrighted material as long as you don't redistribute it.

Be careful with that one. The Netherlands had that too until some European court decided that our laws were foolish and went "that's all wrong, it's obviously illegal" after which there was case law about it being illegal and now it's illegal. The ministry immediately went "oh, well, we s'ppose it's illegal then from roundabout last week!"

In case you were wondering who's behind this expensive lawsuit that lasted from 2008 to 2014: we had "home copy tax" (thuiskopieheffing), so you pay a few bucks extra for storage devices (hard drives, usb sticks, smartphones) and that was redistributed to rights holders as compensation for "home copies" (copies for personal use in your household, backups, that sort of thing). Shops did not like that they had to pay extra taxes that they did not have to pay in other countries, so they went to court and got us where we are now.

Translated:

~ The Netherlands claims that downloading of such material is the same as copying a cd or dvd, but the EU court does not agree. According to the EU court, a law that makes 'no distinction can be made between copied from allowed sources and from forged sources' can be allowed, because such laws promote copyright infringement.

Yes but the grasslands the cows graze on will easily mop up all that excess carbon.

‘BUT’ – I hear you say… “Cows burp and fart too much which is causing climate change and we can’t feed 8 billion people from this ‘out of date’ system – the world’s different now!”.

Once upon a time in the USA there used to be a vast area of prairie (pasture) called the Great Plains. This story can be replicated on any of the world’s grasslands. This vast grassland was a giant ‘carbon sink’ with deep soils of up to 15% organic matter and was a rich habitat for thousands of different species of flora and fauna. Even through severe droughts, the plains supported somewhere in the region of 110 million wild ruminants. 50-70 million of those were the giant one-tonne bison – the equivalent to about 2 small beef steers. We now, in the USA, have roughly the same number of domestic ruminants. 1

Wild animals burp and pump too! So how come pre-industrialisation these ‘evil’ ruminant beasts didn’t wreck our climate?

Healthy soils contain soil microbes called methanotrophs that reduce atmospheric methane. So the grassland on which the cattle are grazing can absorb a large amount of the methane they produce. The highest methane oxidation rate recorded in soil to date has been 13.7 mg/m2/day (Dunfield 2007) which, over one hectare, equates to the absorption of the methane produced by approximately 100 head of cattle! 2, 3

‘Methane sinks’ bank up to 15% of the earth’s methane. Converting pasture into arable production reduces the soil’s capacity to bank methane and releases carbon into the atmosphere. Fertilising and arable cropping reduce the soils methane oxidation capacity by 6 to 8 times compared to the undisturbed soils of pasture. The use of fertilisers makes it even worse, reducing the soils ability to take up methane even further.4, 5, 6

So to convert pasture to arable land in a ‘quick fix’ to try and grow more plant-based foods considerably accelerates the climate change situation.

And anyway let’s put enteric methane (cow burping methane) into context. According to the 2014 UN Climate Change Convention held in December in Lima, Peru, the analysis of GHG’s when converting other gases to CO2 equivalents found that in the US and EU enteric fermentation accounted for 2.17% of GHG emissions. (26.79% of agriculture emissions with all agricultural emissions in total being 8% of total GHG emissions).7

Have you looked into the methane output of rice paddies recently?
