By and large, profit does represent societal good, this whole "anti-profit" attitude is misguided.

On the other hand, it is often possible to profit unethically and sometimes that is the most expedient way. There is a cost to this, which is reputational. That's why it's important to call out bullshit.

The problem with research is that the business risk is high so the potential rewards need to be equally high. So there is an argument to be made for large entities (up to and including the state) to fund research, but there need to be checks and balances. The ones we have may not be perfect, but that doesn't mean they're inadequate. It's all just overhead as far as I am concerned.
This is dystopian.
Mocrosoft’s views on legislation are already throughly represented through the voting power of its shareholders, employees, and anyone else who is affected by them. Are you saying they should have unequal influence beyond that?
You also had a number of developers who successfully were marketing fake “virus protection” including Kasperky that were kicked off the store. Should Apple have kept those on the store? Facebook bought a “successful” VPN product that it used to spy on users and figure out that WhatsApp was popular before it bought it. Should Apple have kept that?

Would you be okay if apps with the same capabilities were marketed as a way to catch cheating spouses?

If Apple decides they wanted to ban loot boxes in games, would you be opposed to that?

The problem with this argument is there is no great evidence it has any effect. Definitely doesn't on the next bunch of 20 year old Zuckerbergs that comes along, not knowing what the fuck they are doing and doing it anyway.

Risk takers and driven people aren't thinking about punishment. By definition. But that drive can be channeled in positive directions. Punishment is really a pretty hopeless method of doing it.

Its why bombing random goat herders for 20 years hasn't reduced the number of people who want to blow themselves and others up.

The focus on punishment is a distraction. It just makes everyone involved channel their energy into playing defense and that delays the real fixes.

Focus should be on getting them to clean up the mess, rather than sending them to jail. Social media and the news media need a whole lot of re-architecting. And the focus really should be on what that new architecture needs to be.

That's the exact opposite of what my history professor said. He said we only have a tiny fraction of roman documents and most of roman history has been "lost to history". Almost all the writings of romans has been lost and "roman history" is the surviving writings of caesar and a handful of other writers. Granted those writings are great works of art, but still, it's an extremely biased and unreliable account of history.

Now that doesn't mean that the romans crossed the atlantic. It just means we know so little of the past that it is embarrassing.

> At a small enough level, you can maintain standards of conduct that are civil and fair. Once you reach a certain size, you lose the cohesion and accountability that makes someone feel like they need to be civil. Maybe part of solving that problem is making everyone part of a group where they are accountable and then making that group accountable to a larger group and so on until the largest group is accountable to society as a whole.

As someone who worked as a dev for Accenture I can tell you you're absolutely correct. When I was there we basically sold solutions based on what products we already had. I worked on some of our platforms that went on to be sold to various clients.

We were largely a VS/Java shop when I was there then we started to invest more in Angular, so that's probably why they fought so hard to convince you.

Isn't a preprocessor the right place for something like this? It doesn't have to operate at the level of source code but if you want your actual code/AST, not just the behavior, to be different from dev to prod then you need a language that compiles to Go?

Baking that into the language seems like it just replaces Go with that meta-language and hides the Go underneath like how "C" is really CPP-lang with a C compiler underneath.

I spend most of the time on my phone on the web, using subscription services that aren’t bought through the App Store, watching tutorial videos that I don’t buy through the App Store, and reading books I bought from the Amazon store.

I also listen to podcast using a third party player.

Google's strong preference for newer content is also kind of a middle finger to content creators. I have written many, many non-fiction articles over the years, and a large portion have been subsequently slurped up by these low-effort lazy-rewrite shops that just change a little bit of phrasing and call it their own. Google prioritizes these borderline-plagiarized, unsourced articles over mine just because the newer ones are newer.

Meanwhile my original (with the same basic information [which I researched personally rather than stole {not to mention I list my sources}]) languishes on page 4 of the Google search results. It grinds my gears on occasion.

It's probably the regulars upvoting it.

The occasional memey or off-topic post is a lot of fun and key to having a community with its own culture instead of an interest group with the personality of a dictionary entry. The problem is that people see that was fun and naturally try to do more of it, but it's only fun in the first place because of the contrast, and the off-topic stuff is usually easier to produce so it can easily drown out the on-topic posts, killing the forum.

The "delete most memes" policy is weird, but works well where I've seen it.

> What I still confused about is am I right about the wires things?

No, you are not right about the wires thing.

In my other answer, one of your statements implied you seem to think of wires and transistors as the same, but they are not. Wires transport voltages around between the transistors, the transistors switch on/off depending upon what voltages the wires transport to them.

The combination of the wires transporting different voltages at different points in time, and the transistors switching on/off dependent upon the transported voltages, is what creates the basic building block of a CPU.

> Anyway, if first method is doable, then in my CPU, I done the calculation without any Memory system lol.

Is your real question here this one: "Why is the memory located in a separate box apart from the CPU"?

Because if that is your real question, then there is a good explanation of why this is so.

It is so because the best design of the circuits for the CPU portion is different from an engineering perspective than the best design for the circuits for the RAM portion. And due to restrictions on integrated circuit manufacturing, it is easier and cheaper to build the two components separate, using different integrated circuit techniques, and then connect them together via bus lines, than to build them all together in one single component.

The circuit designs for the CPU center around fast operation often at the expense of additional energy consumption.

The circuit designs for bulk memory (RAM) center around much lower energy consumption (often at the expense of some speed of operation) and very high density packing of storage cells.

Attempting to mix both of these techniques on a single chip is possible, but much more expensive and difficult than building them independently on separate chips.

But, also, there have been experimental CPU designs that attempt to do some of what you suggest, the (generally) external RAM cells are actually built on the CPU itself, right near where the data stored therein will be used by the CPU. So what you suggest has been done, it is just not the design that gained traction for our current IBM-PC architecure PC's.

Also, one other item to consider. If you build a CPU and RAM on the same chip, then to offer different amounts of RAM in the market, you have to design and build different chips.

But if you build the CPU separate from the RAM, you can change the amount of RAM in a system by adding/subtracting RAM modules (presuming the system was designed with plugs for adding/subtracting RAM modules) while only having to build one kind of CPU chip, and one kind of RAM module. Lower cost of production, much more market flexibility.

> Are you sure every oil company did this?

Fines? Come on. Were there justice we'd have people shot dead in the square then buried unmourned and in unmarked graves for what they did to us as a society and as a race. Continuing to assess fines as the magnitude of their betrayal of society and of the human race would be getting off light.

Because here's the thing: if they weren't sure in the seventies they were damned well sure by the eighties and they're damned well sure now and they still fight to put profits over the future of the human race. They are the counterpoint to the ghastly unfettered capitalism that some people still think is a good idea and they're going to end billions of humans because of it.

"Not all oil companies"? Get out with that. There is no exclusion from this betrayal of the human race and there is no oil company in existence today not blighting us by their continued operation. If some hypothetical oil company doesn't want to be strung up? I dunno. How about 100% renewable energy by 2035--which is probably still too late, because we are screaming over the cliff, but hey!--and externally-validated commitments to that, with failure to meet those commitments resulting in revocation of their corporate charter, forcible seizure of all assets, and jail sentences long enough to see the sea rise they caused for their executive tier? That seems equitable to me.

Sigh. A violated society should act, but we are passive.

You're right that this might be a problem, in principle. Surprisingly enough, however, RV is actually more than competitive as a system-level virtual ISA. People have experimented with this on existing emulation platforms, and that was the result they got.
> in this case Facebook specifically mentioned that it didn't turn off the feature though it intended to

What you are describing here is in fact a lack of action, or a lack of change policy (to cause such action). That's not a bug. A bug is unintentional behaviour of some code, not some folk who've said they'll do something, but then don't.

And as for whether the original behaviour is/was a bug is also a point of contention too: that's a lot of willfully bad behaviour that's got chained together somehow to do what it did, then reviewed, signed off, and deployed — that's quite some 'accident' — I write code, and to me this whole thing just smells of a cover-up (by FB calling this a 'bug', when it very much looks to be otherwise).
Why is it an awful idea?

Fines are meant as a deterrent. Flat fines are either devastating for poor people or meaningless to rich people, or both.

Fines that scale with income or wealth allow reasonable deterrents to rich and poor people alike.

Transforming generic layer 3 datagrams into traffic that looks like something else is the general domain of obfuscation. Making WireGuard traffic look like TCP is one form of such obfuscation. Making it look like TLS or DNS or HTTP are other forms. (Actually putting layer 3 traffic into framing inside a legit TCP stream is inefficient and the wrong way to think about the problem domain.) No promises, but I'm expecting some nice things to come in this domain of generic obfuscation mechanisms to punch through various forms of filtering.

Rooting for a profit motivated transnational entity in the manner one would for a sports team exposes the insidious nature of brand narratives and the exploitable irrationality of our own interactions with them.
