This is misunderstanding how political influence works. It's much harder to convince politicians to raise taxes (a core issue for Republicans) than to change some obscure regulation most people don't even know about.

So your proposal is to use less automation, and rely on a human to do a scan? That's one of the reasons Equifax got into this problem in the first place.

None of this is trivial, and you saying it is would indicate you really don't understand modern computer security issues. This is hard, and it's unfortunately easy to get wrong. And it's a space where even a tiny failure can lead to large consequences. Not that the Equifax failures were particularly tiny, but it was clearly more than they could handle.
It's theater. Make a show of looking like you "care", in order to avoid the wrath of the masses (e.g. populist legislation that leads to wealth redistribution).

A SQL DBMS (run of the mill) gives you a well thought out data model (the SQL model, derived from the relational model) that implements your business logic in terms of a well designed, well understood data model.

Conceptually, the relational model has relations and atoms. The algebra is built on the primitives conjoin, disjoin, project and rename. You can't get much simpler while being as expressive.

The SQL model adds a good deal of complexity, but at least it's standardized and you can generally ignore the complexity you don't need.

A KV store is conceptually simple if you stick to using it as a KV store. Once you try to implement any kind of schema, you have to build that from scratch. As you add business logic to it, you wind up inventing an ad hoc data model, which is likely to be conceptually more complex than either the SQL or relational model.

You may not be aware of the complexity of your ad hoc model, but math will inevitably remind you.

I agree with the conclusion largely, but I think the reasons listed in the article are not good. Personally I feel the problems of doing too much abstraction are belows.

1. It takes a lot of time.

2. You might end up with bad abstration that in the end hinders you. You then have to work around the abstration you created.

3. More functions create more entries you need to understand in your mind, this can sometimes make code harder to reason about.

The language is incredibly vague. Being active in research doesn't mean your donations come with political strings that force people you donate to to champion your causes. Being active in a political organization doesn't mean you're directly funding a team of lobbyists to bribe politicians with fancy dinners and golf and scholarships to their children. It doesn't mean they're making millionares online, funded by their billionare money, to be their mouthpieces on national news the way Fox News has become (NYT Op-Ed might be part of this).

"Some of" the 18 individuals means it's unlikely to be a majority (if it was a majority, the NYT would be motivated to use that stronger claim to its benefit).

Overall, IMO the claim is so vague, and so without solid, verifiable facts, that it is effectively a smokescreen of pretending-to-be-an-activist.

This. If I may reiterate your point:

`is_foolike(x)` may not be much better than `x.startswith("foo")` but, say, `is_superuser(x)` is much easier to understand than `x.username.starts_with("su_")`. And note how the mental burden is decreased in this case as well, as a first-time reader would not be wondering why we're checking usernames in the middle of a function way past login.

They are similar in that they are both kind of big languages with many features, and a reputation for difficulty. However, Haskell's reputation is one for difficulty on how to do anything at all but once you do the angels sing, while in C++ it is difficult to do anything right.
I think the positive lists diverge significantly, and I don't really think of the languages as being similar at all.
While I agree with the general sentiment - and I've certainly publicly and loudly expressed it in the past - this particular incident can't actually be blamed on that.

It's a route leak, which can affect any arbitrary amount of ISPs, because the BGP protocol is totally unauthenticated.

Exploring Network Policies in Kubernetes
> I'm actually surprised there not more "database as a library"-projects out there.

For distributed systems, you tend to need quite a bit of configuration (how to find the peers, authentication, things like namespaces).

And then if the communication is TCP-based, you tend to keep connections open to avoid the handshake latency when you need to retrieve a value. Which sounds like something you typically don't want running inside a library, but rather as a separate process.

And then you've basically arrived at the memcached design.
Google rate limits ICMP to 8.8.8.8. It’s not meant to be used as your personal “is the internet up” test.
It has authentication and requires explicit configuration to form a neighbor relationship.

BGP was designed for operators to implement a routing policy. In most implementations it allows everything by default with no modifications to route metadata, so if you do not set up your policy correctly you'll have issues like this.

People aren't just dumb shopping animals. Google search was monumental back in the late '90s because it was so extraordinarly populist. The algorithm was solid. Fast forward to today and I don't even know what Google is anymore. A marketing company? Is that all this was ever about?

This is do-able with FoundationDB. You could distribute your application colocated with the database nodes and write a router to redirect requests to the machine which owns the data you're looking for. Then your application logic is computing against data on the same machine.

Contrary to popular opinion, money doesn't automatically buy votes. Tax is a popular issue. This isn't like changing some minor regulation nobody has ever heard about. You can't bury the changes being advocated. And all the money in the world won't buy off every Grover Norquist from primarying Republicans who dare to raise taxes, however narrowly constrained.

This PR expands the Overton window around new tax rates at higher tiers, and that's good. It also helps defang the Grover Norquists by undermining their popular support.
This is an argument against taxing the super rich that I just have never understood. Don't tax the mega-rich, because I will be that one day, and it is a disincentive for me to work hard if I can only be a billionaire instead of a multi-billionaire.

Short answer, a declaration of independence means war with China.

The status quo allows for what are effectively two separate nations to keep face and avoid disaster -- for both. It is a unique and somewhat absurd state of affairs for sure.

Long answer is... Long. Probably reading on the history of China and what happened after the Communists won the war and the KMT retreated to Taiwan would be a good starting point to understand what's going on with Taiwan today.

( Edit : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20263049 )

Also, no country in the world can have official diplomatic relations with Taiwan if they have them with China. ( Most do unofficially. ) Taiwan is consistently blocked by China from international organizations starting with the UN, etc. Not everything is as it should be in a 'truly' independent nation, with the status quo. A declaration of independence would therefore also affect every other country and the international order of things.
