The nature analogy is useful, but it's also worth thinking about where this new problem differs.

Nature is a large interconnected system that, in some cases, has the benefit of being self correcting. Population control and food chains are examples of this. I worry that, in the case of privacy, there are far fewer natural "self correcting" aspects. How will this impact our response to this problem?

(My personal prediction is that it will simply make it possible to do more damage before we begin seeking a solution en masse.)

Living in the Midwest on a Midwest salary ($85k/yr), currently 30 years old, have 3 kids, a stay at home wife, and a net worth that just peeked over $250k.

Also, our work health insurance is shit, so $200 gets taken out of my paycheck each week for that, which puts it right around the $12k you mentioned.

Daycare is stupid expensive. Healthcare is stupid expensive. We handle the former by having my wife stay home. The latter is just an unfortunate fact of life.

I really don't know how much it costs to live on the coasts, but on a developer salary you can live very comfortably in the Midwest (Ames, Iowa here).
It's not a $500 billion loss.

That $500 billion would be spent on something (consumer rebate, carbon sequestration, debt repayment, something). And government spending has second order effects too, estimated at about 1.75x for direct consumer rebates, less for anything else. So it's possible that the carbon tax would have a net positive on the economy.

Even if it isn't a net positive by itself, the net effect will be a LOT less than $500B.
This isn't intended as a shallow dismissal, but this sounds strikingly similar to the experience of paranoia. Nobody would say that the feeling that the Invisible Other is watching us is a good feeling. But unless something happens, it's also "just" a feeling. Might the feeling be doing more harm than the reality?

On the other hand, our ancestors would probably wonder at our obsession over the danger of invisible entities getting into our food or water, but germ theory is still real.

The problem with guarding against invisible dangers, even when they're real, is that they can be hard to distinguish from superstition. It's easy to point at some religious customs and say they are irrational, but is today's folk understanding of nutritional science all that much better? Badly understood science can create especially virulent memes.

When the harms are hard to demonstrate, privacy disputes sometimes feel similar.

But what if my "map" includes a node that has more than four neighbors? If there are only four colors, then one of the neighbors must be pidgeon-holed to share a color with the node? Are there constraints on how many neighbors a node can have?

I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_system and I don't really see much resemblance to how mainstream programming languages are defined.

Some mainstream programming languages do not even a formal grammar for their syntax. Valid syntax is whatever is accepted by the parsing program. Much more commonly there isn't a formal specification of the semantics. The semantics are similarly defined by the implementation.

I think you might be arguing that the implementation is itself part of a formal system, involving the processor. I don't think I feel the same way. The CPUs operation can be described precisely in terms of rules, in the same way that Newtonian physics can, with the difference that digital systems are more robust to modeling errors. This is what the Strawberry picker example above, I believe, was meant to touch on. Just because math is used to model something doesn't mean the thing is math.

Some aspects of computational sciences feel like they are math. Other aspects seem like they're just modeled by math.

It's different because the market for (and culture of) pilots is dramatically different from the market for drivers.

I have never met a pilot that didn't religiously follow their checklists. If there is ever any doubt as to whether something is safe, there is no doubt: it is not. Weight limits, weather reports, etc. all are carefully attended to.

Meanwhile, 30% of adults sitting in the back seat of a car forget to buckle their seatbelts. About 5% admitted to driving drunk within the last month. I see people on their cell phones all their time. I've ridden with a young woman who was driving with her knees while doing her hair in the rearview mirror (yes, I was freaked out, and no, I never rode with her again).

Pilots are professionals, and they act professionally, and they respect the possibility of death every time they get into their vehicle. Drivers are not. There's a long history of every safety innovation in cars actually making accident rates go up, because drivers start taking them for granted and then behaving in ways that compensate for the increased safety and maintain the same level of subjective risk (like driving faster, driving more, or becoming more distracted). The only way to break that loop is to take the human out of driver's seat entirely.
In a purely oop language, data structures exist as an implementation detail, but you can never access them directly (as in, bypassing the object interface). That's by design.

It isn't just what you watch. It means they know when you're home and when you leave. By watching what you're watching they can make guesses as to your race, sex, income, politics, marital status, how old your children are, what your interests are, etc. Not all of that will be 100% accurate, but they don't care. It just has to be accurate enough that companies who buy the data will see an improvement in whatever their aims are. There's no PR backlash to worry about because you aren't allowed to know who they sell your data to, or how much they make off of it.

Yes, at least in Boston it's a major issue. I've personally seen three separate instances of a MBTA bus forcing a cyclist on to the curb by approaching them from behind, passing, and cutting them off.

They _should_ be predictable, but that does not seem to be the case in my anecdotedal experience.

And regardless, why put the onus of responsibility on the bus driver when a segregated lane would solve the issue entirely?

I agree, it's not the technology itself. I think it's due to the industry maturing and consolidating, and simply optimizing - they look for new avenues of profit, and they happened to have found user-hostile ones.

> real advantages over ARM

I guess being first to bring wider SIMD to the market: 256-bit AVX2 is widespread, AVX512 is available on real products. ARM SVE will be amazing, when it ships to actual users.

Though keeping in mind the potential problems of super wide SIMD on the same cores as everything else ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/on-the-dangers-of-intels-frequen... ) and the limited number of truly SIMD-heavy programs (x264 and.. something?) it's not a big deal. AMD Zen 1 is 128-bit anyway, btw.

"In mathematics, the four color theorem, or the four color map theorem, states that, given any separation of a plane into contiguous regions, producing a figure called a map, no more than four colors are required to color the regions of the map so that no two adjacent regions have the same color. Adjacent means that two regions share a common boundary curve segment, not merely a corner where three or more regions meet."

Coding with a Full Toolset – Damian Conway
This is really hard to follow and I'm not sure I'm understanding it the way he intended.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems to be saying that, to avoid breaking consumers of your library often by changing the implementation, hide the implementation details behind classes, right?

This seems to be a common reaction to someone who experiments with the "freedom of functional programming" where that freedom means operating on and returning raw data structures that OOP usually hides behind private variables.

That's still bad practice, even in code that heavily uses FP, and good code usually mixes FP and OOP properly, so that you're given functions when you're meant to have functions, and data when you're meant to have data. This is how I've been writing JavaScript for a few years now, and it's not how I've seen Java or Clojure usually written.
It’s non-dischargeable so that it can be offered to people with no collateral and who are otherwise entirely un-creditworthy.

Not surprisingly, this results in high delinquency rates!

The alternative is most people wouldn’t qualify for this level of debt, you would more highly subsidize cheaper public education, and private universities would have to rely entirely on endowments to provide financial aid to people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to go.

At some point a $50k private undergraduate education (forget about $100k+!) is not for everyone, even if there are banks willing to write the check and put you into that kind of debt.

But think of the outcry if you were to limit the amount of educational debt someone could take on — for example by only making the first $20k non-dischargeable. It would fix the delinquency problem, drastically lower the total annual student loan rate, and cause private tuition prices overall to decline, but it would be called institutional racism.

I think we already went through this cycle with housing, when ~15 years ago politicians started saying that owning a home was a right and everyone should own one, regardless of ability to pay. Zero down, no income verification, guaranteed issue mortgages caused the housing bubble, and we see something nearly the same in education today saddling kids with debt way over their heads, except this time you can’t even walk away from it in exchange for a 7 year credit score hit.

They're not arbitrary, but they're not razor-thin, either. If we take a quick look at profit margins (net income over revenue) for 2017 as a proxy for fees relative to service costs, Visa was something like 36%, which is pretty good (for context, Google's is ~22%, Apple's is also ~22%, Citigroup is ~25%, Mastercard ~31%, Paypal ~13%, Facebook is just under 40%).

It would definitely be a big shift from the "support" they offer now, admittedly, but if they can break the Visa/MC duopoly at scale, I think you could make a business case for it.
