It's a fine line to walk to carve out a team to "move fast and break things."

It can be valuable in an org that has gotten bogged down with process that is often in place for good reason, or that needs to focus on longer-term things.

But when you do carve out that team, extra care needs to be spent figuring out how to integrate their efforts and culture with existing teams they need to interface with at various points. Likewise, it really needs to be positioned as a benefit for everyone.
Well then, welcome to my world. Where I live - provincial Denmark - these days our local police resides behind a desk ... at the library.
Mind you, this is police of a variety radically different from just about any aspect of American police I've ever seen described. Our police structure and organisation is in shambles, but at the personal level, a police officer is first and foremost a service provider, and the ones I've interacted with over the years have been unfailingly professionel, non-threatening, and polite. Also: Fit and never, ever overweight.
Even then, it's not even a cost of 0.1% EBITDA. It's a cost of 0.1% * p, where p is the probability of actually being caught. How many companies behave unethically because they know full well the will likely get away with it.

Because this doesn't require putting a transmitter on top of the vehicle. As the article itself mentioned, this sort of GPS spoofing has already been demonstrated to be effective at range. For the purposes of Regulus's tests they didn't need to do it at range, mounting a transmitter on the top of the car was sufficient to demonstrate that an external spoof is possible

> The spoofer can easily use an off the shelf high-gain directional antenna to get a range of up to a mile. If they add an amplifier, a range of a few miles is very much possible. It has already been proven that spoofing can even occur across dozens of miles, for example in the Black Sea spoofing attack in June 2017.

And literally nobody is saying this is a doomsday. What they are saying is that autonomous cars need to recognize this attack vector and take steps to combat it. The fact that stealing or hijacking vehicles has always been possible doesn't mean we need to deliberately turn a blind eye toward a new and potentially very effective attack against autonomous vehicles.
You forgot two of the very first ones in this regard, Lisp and Basic.

Also Dart 2.0 is strongly typed with type inference, they rebooted the type system.
I don't think the increased difficulty in changing the oil is malicious intent. Just much less space under the hood. I'm not a big car guy, but for every car I've seen it has been recommended to hand-tighten, but you often need a tool to reach an awkwardly placed oil filter or loosen it.
This is my initial thought. I can't imagine learning more than one syntax at once. This is probably aimed towards eidetic folks (tbh, probably not, but it should be).
More so now with better type inference and repl integration.

I trust Evan Czaplicki. Did you read his thesis[1]? M'boy can think.

> No typeclass mechanism or similar.

Okay, but then my question becomes what business value are you unable to realize without a typeclass mechanism?

In other words, what is the vital use-case or feature that is so much easier to implement with a typeclass (relative to some other, less elegant solution) and that is so valuable that it counter-balances or outweighs all the benefits of using Elm?

(Same question applies to JS escape hatches. And, in theory, if the payoff was high enough you could fork Elm and patch it to do what you needed.)

.NET agrees, though :)

For software libraries it's a bit of a pickle, though, as you have the trade-off between »do what an end user would expect« and »do exactly as told, and let the programmer deal with the weirdness«. Admittedly, adding months is something that I'd rarely do as a programmer when the context isn't what a user would expect. Adding 30 days can be done in much the same way if that's really what's intended.

Interesting question, though: Is 2 months from 2019-07-28 2019-09-28 because the day part is the same, or 2019-09-27 because it's three days from the end of the month? ;-)

Java has repl support since Java 9 and before that there were interactive sheets like Eclipse scratch pad, which alongside incremental compilation were already quite good.

And while Java's type inference is not the same has having HM around, it is already q89te friendly.
It's not clear what the chart is actually demonstrating, or why it had a "Source" link that just goes to a 4-year-old blog post about concurrency in Rust that contains no benchmarks.

My guess is the benchmark chart is just that: a benchmark. They didn't actually write their target program in 6 different languages. They probably just found a set of benchmarks that they believed to be at least somewhat representative. I really wish the article would actually explain this though.
The OP has obviously never used Instagram, which for my generation is much more popular than Facebook. Almost every reason listed for Google+'s failure, is a feature of instagrams massive success.
Pakistan also has such system. I have linked my bank account with my mobile phone number. I don't even have to use any app, a simple code and I can transfer money to same bank or another bank account, pay bills, recharge, all account info, mini bank statement etc and all this happens in seconds.
First of all, this new API has relatively little to do with performance. The main performance gain in Vue 3 comes from a new template compilation strategy invisible to users.

Second, I think it is over-simplifying the issue by equaling the new API with Complexity. The RFC can be tough to grok because it is dense; but actually looking at some examples will probably show you that the new API really isn't about "complexity": https://gist.github.com/yyx990803/762ec427882a61be3e4affe02f...

Vue has a wide range of users. I honestly don't quite get how introducing an optional API can be an insult - because we clearly see some use cases we ran into can be more elegantly solved with the new API. Maybe you haven't run into them personally, but that doesn't mean your use case is "inferior" - we are all dealing with different types of applications. However, I think it would be a real insult if you think Vue will never have a use case that is complex enough to warrant these advanced APIs.

Regarding your question: feel free to stay with the current API for as long as you wish. As long as the community feels there's a need for the old API to stay, it will stay. The only one that can make the decision to switch to the new API is yourself.
One of the customers I've worked for in Japan has alerts over the loudspeakers when it's time to go home. The company I work for had people working insane hours (14+ daily) and acted like it was normal. The people were obviously not doing much work staying later, but they wanted to appear to be dedicated. I'd much rather my people work hard when we need it and have time to unwind when we don't. I see it as a failing of management of every day requires an emergency level of effort.

That's pretty much when modern humans made it to Australia, boats definitely existed by then. I'm not sure where the idea that pre-agricultural humans didn't have boats comes from but it seems to be rooted in debates about when migrations into North America happened. Rudimentary rafts aren't that big a leap for anyone that's seen a tree trunk float down a river, from there you can iterate pretty rapidly to something ocean going.
Saying safety is important or repairablity is important are both subjective value judgements. I see zero reason why your estimation of the value of a safe car should force me to subsidize that safety when I buy a car, any more than me valuing a repairable design should force you to subsidize the extra documentation.

What? Really?

What if they want to buy something in a shop, is that illegal? What happens if you have a homeless friend and you invite them round for dinner?

Or is it like pigeons, you just get signs in the park saying 'don't feed the homeless'

Speaking as a European, this just sounds bizarre.
> But overturning those contractual arrangements after the fact creates real problems.

Can you expand on this a bit? Clearly there's a trade-off being made here. There are real benefits to ensuring that ISPs actually face competition. The main argument against is around property rights, but as you stated the wires are owned by the building owner.

ISPs are potentially less likely to "subsidize" infrastructure in exchange for exclusivity, but IMO that's a win. Apartment owners shouldn't be able to undermine competition in this related but separate market.

Oh, most definitely. You can go to tesla.com right now and configure your very own Model 3 with the "Full Self-Driving Capability" option for $6,000, and they've been selling that option for years.
> I wonder why there isn't a popular gradually typed language that natively allows writing both dynamic and type-safe code

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, PHP7 can do exactly that.

With regards to the general trend you mention about adding static-ish typing to dynamically typed languages, the opposite is also happening to some extent. I work in a medium sized company that does mainly .NET and I see C# devs use `var` a lot (in order to let the compiler infer the type instead of having to declare it explicitly). I'm not sure if the `dynamic` type is also seeing increased use, but just the fact that it was added to the language in v4 says at least a little.

I think what is really happening is that the more popular languages will sort of naturally converge as development progresses and more and more people request features. So while Mr. PHP-dev-turned-to-C# will maybe want more dynamic-ish typing in C#, Mr. C#-dev-turned-to-PHP will request more static-like typing in PHP.

Affordable housing (and rent) is an issue, but this isn't a well thought out solution for the same.
The assumption of malice on the home owner for leaving a home vacant is unfair. If the state wants to impose such a tax, proving malice should be the state's burden. Otherwise, it's a breach of the right to property enshrined in the Constitution.

How about if Prop 13 just doesn't apply to homes except one's primary residence?
You obviously can't jail a corporation as you would a person in this situation. However, a person would absolutely be subject to asset forfeiture and proceeds of crime law in such a situation - do the same here.

A paltry fine such as this is never going to prevent this behaviour. Determine as part of the investigation any revenue the company made from engaging in the behaviour and take it off them, in addition to the fine.
As a Python dev who often have to teach Python to data scientists or sometimes integrate their R code, I can imagine this could be a useful reference.
That's only right if you tax rent, which LA does not.
The level of coma and other factors are related to how close the comet comes to the sun. Oumuamua came extremely close (about 25% the distance from Earth to the Sun), and displayed no such characteristics. This is why thought it was originally classified as a comet, it was quickly reclassified as an asteroid. But then it started accelerating which means it's also probably not an asteroid. And on top of this all a comet would also likely have torn itself to pieces accelerating given the shape and tumble of Oumuamua.

It somewhat cleanly refutes every possible classification leaving only the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ group of celestial bodies.

IIRC last time I poked at their enterprise image and dumped the code there were bits of custom type annotations. That was around 2-3 years ago.
Excellent. But this should not just be for "landlords." It should also be for anyone who buys a property and then just holds on to it vacant, waiting for it to appreciate as if it's a bar of gold. Every vacant home is essentially a theft from someone else who has no home or is priced out of the market. I say for any home that is unoccupied 180 days or more per year :

1. Remove the property's Prop 13 protection, ratcheting the assessed value of the home up to its actual market value.

2. Double the resulting property tax.

3. Remove the owner's ability to deduct any mortgage interest on that property from their income taxes.
I've noticed this example of converted component on the RFC discussion:

Ah, the logic of progressivism. These "vacant" homes are already taxed at whatever millage rate is set in Los Angeles...I'm presuming it's more than zero. Furthermore, investment homes do not get tax exemptions, so they're already taxed at higher rates than primary homes. Finally, this is unenforceable without weekly spying to determine if a home is occupied or not. In other words it will cost more to enforce, is potentially a violation of the 4th amendment, and will do nothing to fix homelessness.

California needs to revamp zoning laws and fix the mess that those laws created.
are you suggesting that data scientists use C++ for day to day work? those libraries have first-class wrappers in Python (there is R support, but not at the same level).

Well Facebook got circles like functionality in no time. They knew the relationships, cities, schools, jobs.

Basically Facebook got to be Google+ parity faster than other way around.

Same thing with Snapchat. Instagram and WhatsApp replicated more of Snapchat than the other way around. Insta won. WhatsApp won. They are growing even though main FB.com is stagnant.
Prob'ly RISC-V, with the quantum extension. But the more archaic, it will still be binary.

That becomes a way more interesting hypothetical if you strip away the emotionally charged language.

Let's say a twenty-year-old Californian goes to Canada, meets a 16-year-old, and they have sex. This is (according to wikipedia, don't rely on me for legal advice!) illegal in California and legal in Canada.

That doesn’t look like any wallet I’ve ever seen. Did it really have to be clear and look like a plastic envelope? Maybe not enough random people would pick it up if it was a real dark wallet (vs say a staff member who cleans the place)?

It’s always good to question how the experiment reflects real life if we’re going to use it to influence real life policy and business decisions. But it’s possible this still sufficiently measured people’s honesty since the basic idea is the same (returning found property of value).

The other factor is the job title. Wouldn’t a “Software Engineer” be less likely to seem in need rather than the average (ie, working class) job title? Given a large enough pool I’m sure this could influence how people factored in the effort of finding the person vs feel-good emotional (or moral, ideological, etc) reward of doing good.

Basically: if the amount of the money mattered, then wouldn’t the job title of this new person whom you only know has business cards and a good job?

Hmm? I don't get this.

If you're talking about the power adapter, you can buy a reputable one (it's external to the scope).

If you're talking about measurements on 220V equipment, just buy a genuine Digilent (or other brand) probe with 10x attenuation for about $20, then you can have complete faith in that the scope electronics will only see signals < 48V, which is completely safe.
Utility companies wrongfully deducing occupancy based on usage is an ever grater issue than the proposal to spy on one's utility usage.

China has used its own FreeBSD (kylin) and then ubuntu-based (neokylin) since 2001. Nearly half of all laptops are sold with it. Likewise, North Korea has Red Star since 2008 which is mandatory or risk forced labor.

While kylin isn't too far off from a traditional distro, officers will force you to install rootkits on both desktop/laptops and phones (JingWang). If you're caught later with it missing you will most likely disappear.

Red Star is horrifically oppressive and monitors everything you do. The GPL is of course ignored and very few changes are ever released. Trying to circumvent the restrictions causes the OS to self destruct. The few applications you can use watermark every file you create.

Long story short them creating linux-based distros is just an easy way for them to exert total control. It does nothing positive for the Linux or BSD ecosystem.

If HTML had some kind of templating functionality so that you could trivially reuse, say, a header or a footer then lots more people would write HTML in HTML.
Malice assumes that somebody is doing something wrong/illegal.

That's not the case for this proposal: they simply have different tax rates for different situations.

There are many other ways today in which tax treatment depends on property was used or based on assumptions by the IRS that the tax payer must prove when challenged.

For example: if you sell a house today, you can get favorable tax treatment if during the last 5 years before the sale, you've used it as your primary residence for at least 2 years.

If you didn't, no problem, no malice, you just don't get to benefit from that tax benefit.
I find this an odd concept, "learning the arrow of time". The very act of learning presumes an arrow of time already exists: one learns when one's knowledge at time t_2 is greater than one's knowledge at time t_1, where t_2 > t_1. If we remove the requirement that t_2 > t_1, then we cannot distinguish the act of learning something from the act of forgetting something we used to know.
