I greatly doubt that culture actually exists. There is either a formal known hierarchy or an informal one with a lot of backstabbing and power plays. In the latter you may not know who is doing it.

Plus as you said people will disclose it anyways. People know their level and others even if it is a "secret". People know others salaries too. So the entire concept is rendered moot
It's weird though, because something like ACH desperately needs to be replaced. It's slow, and compared to whatever they have in the EU, it's slow and embarrassing. Not saying it needs to be blockchain (I'd prefer it isn't), but taking lessons from it would be beneficial. In the past ~30 years, the American business ecosystem cares less and less about standards and more about pushing their own standards/formats and not giving a fuck about interoperability.

There isn't a definition provided for platform utility in this bills text, but the first mention I saw of the "platform utilities" term was from Warren, which was referring to select category of companies with this definition:

Companies with an annual global revenue of $25 billion or
more and that offer to the public an online marketplace, an
exchange, or a platform for connecting third parties would be
designated as "platform utilities."

It looks like PayPal is at around 13B in yearly revenue so they would 100% not be included for revenue bar alone, but not completely sure how I would read if they fit into the category based on the rest of the definition.

That's a non sequitur. Your volume comparison can, at best, tell you how cost scales with reactor power. If the exponent is wrong, it serves no valid purpose at all.
it seems like business people need to wrap their mind around creating a process that allows these one off solutions to be made more easily. There are probably over a million people with a one off genetic problem that would be worth at least 100,000 to solve. Making a one off solution once is obviously not the solution, but instead engineering the process to allow the one off solutions to be generated more quickly and easily.

1,000,000 * 100,000 = 100,000,000,000

A possible 100 Trillion dollar industry seems like a very stupid thing to ignore.

The other thing to remember is that making a genetic toolkit to fix genetic errors is a potentially low liability solution, if well tested, documented and proven. The liability would still rest primarily with the practitioner.

I think the difference is if the financial component is the product. All of those things, Steam wallet, Ebay, etc. are all trying to use the money moving tools to sell products that aren't money. Your Steam wallet cannot be used to give someone $20USD who can then go spend it on Pop Rocks. Ultimately it all funnels into buying games.

When your product is the money storage, transfer, removal services, that's when you become a "financial service."

The outline of what's allowable is what's written in the contract, not what some AA reservation agent tells him.

Again, if a bank teller says it's legal to rob the bank, and you rob the bank, are you off the hook? Of course not. The terms of the contract are...spelled out in the contract.

I generally despise airlines but this guy was in the wrong.
I was at Lockheed while they were selling off some of that land and the [then new] "Moffett Towers" were being constructed [constant, unavoidable pile-driving for years]. When the CEO was talking about such things as "cost savings in the coming year" it was clear that meant "reducing the land footprint in Sunnyvale" amongst other things such as layoffs at same. At the time I imagined which few, minimum buildings would remain if//when the trend continued.

The only "residence" there is the dump for the goats. For humans, it's just about 3 miles directly south on Mathilda Ave; I lived there for a couple years while I was at Lockheed.
Rare Earths in the US-China Trade War
Rust does expose _all_ of its compiler internal data-structures though, not just some subset of it.

Scheme and Lisp, for example, only expose their AST. If you only care about the AST, you can access it from stable Rust, and there are great libraries for working with it, doing AST folds, semi-quoting, etc.

The OP wanted to work on the CFG graph. You could write a library to compute the CFG from the AST, but you don't have to because Rust exposes this as well. The CFG data-structures are much more tied to the intermediate representations of the Rust compiler, and these do change over time as new features are added to the language.

Some tools do use the compiler internal CFGs though. For example, rust-clippy is a linter that's built on top of most of the compiler-internal data-structures, not only type-checking, but also CFGs. The rust-semverver is a tool that detects semver breaking changes between the last released version of a library and the current one, is built on top of the type checking data-structures, and can deal with all kinds of generics (types, lifetimes, etc.).

These tools are typically tied to particular versions of the nightly compiler and do break often, but for example rust-clippy is distributed via rustup, so you always get a version that works with whatever nightly compiler you have, and well, you also get a version that "magically" works with a stable Rust compiler.

Other people have built all sort of tools on top of this, from Rust interpreters, to instrumentation passes that compute the maximum stack size requirement of embedded applications, e.g., by using the CFG to compute the deepest possible stack frame of a program, and the size of the stack frame for that case.
I think that's plausible, even though Google's intentions with it were the opposite:

To sequester carbon it would have to be prevented from decomposing. It is not enough for the trees to turn to charcoal during fire. If what you said was true "well managed" forest would be standing atop of layers of charcoal which obviously is not true.

Some of it is just an unintentional consequence of the benefits of technology and its ability to scale leaving no other option (other than to legally forbid it, but then another country might allow it and take advantage, etc, etc).

Consumers can and have benefited from economies of scale greatly that the big companies can provide in the short term, but in the long term it can be costly as they exercise their monopoly power, but who can accurately put a price on this so that people choose wisely today.
People in rural areas consume more when all else is equal though. Subsistence farmers do much better, but are you willing to give up your computers, tv, lights, central heat/air, plumbing, fast travel? If the answer to any of that is no you will use less resources living your lifestyle in a dense city than in a rural area.

We still need farmers in rural areas who will of course use more than their share of resources, but the number of farmers we need is small and so insignificant. It is the semi-rural suburbs that have enough people to make a difference.

The worst part is who cares anyway?

Think about it, why are we targeting tech? If having tech mix with finance is bad, shouldn't we disallow finance companies from offering tech services?

If it's not bad, then why are we doing it at all?

This really sounds like these politicians are once again doing too much of something no one asked for, and nothing at all about what we did ask for, privacy protection.

All they need to do is make a HIPAA like law that criminalizes any sharing of personal data at all for commercial purposes. With mandatory prison sentences for offenders. That's it. Do that and you stop all kinds of egregious privacy invasions in their tracks.

That's a really simple ask, and yet they won't do it. It's starting to get a little infuriating. No one cares about whether paypal or ebay offer a prepaid debit card or whatever. Anymore than anyone cares about Walmart offering prepaid debit. We want to make it illegal for ANY of these companies to share information. Full stop.

Why can't these people do such a simple thing that makes a whole lot of sense? The EU has protections. Even the AU has started drafting the privacy protections regs for their new zone. Why can't we in the US do that same, very simple, thing?

Worst part is now instead of having to worry about what ebay, paypal, and amazon are doing with that data, I have to worry about what thousands of anonymous smaller vendors are doing with my data after they purchase it. In a very real way, these politicians are turning what was a 9mm round flying at me, into a shotgun blast...

and then saying, "Hey don't thank us!!!"

Don't worry I won't.
I think part of the incentive of using a platform is building up a following to leverage ad revenue yourself. It's currently a win-win. Popular people on social media can get sponsorships, the platform gets to show people ads from their network. Platforms are getting the content for free. If they remove the ability of users to negotiate sponsorships, they'll need to start paying for the content.
I do mind it. If your cause is meaningful enough, you don't need to resort to click baity titles.
And to add to this, one of brutal anti-rollback gotchas I’ve seen on smaller projects (not distributed systems failures, but code bugs that put you in a painful spot): not having transactional DDL for your schema changes.

The typical scenario I’ve had to help with: MySQL database that’s been running in prod for a while. Because of the lax validation checks early in the project, weird data ends up in a column for just a couple rows. Later on you go to make a change to that column in a migration, or use the data from that column as part of a migration. Migration blows up in prod (it worked fine in dev and staging due to that particular odd data not being present), and due to the lack of transactional DDL, your migration is half applied and has to be either manually rolled back or rolled forward.

Environmentally induced errors aren't software bugs, just because there's a problem elsewhere doesn't mean we shouldn't seek to mitigate other problems.

In plane investigations I've looked at (not many) the issue has always been a compounding of several errors or shortcomings .. that strongly suggests you shouldn't let small errors build up in different systems, to me. [1]

If it's a register which takes down the whole system then surely they'd know that (and could fix it with a watchdog that returned the effected systems to the boot state without reboot) -- other comments seem to be saying "meh, it's complex, doesn't matter what the error is as long as reboot fixes it"; that seems really dangerous in safety critical systems.

[1] but I acknowledge the "better the devil you know" issue and that pragmatism and cost take over at some point.

accusing specific individuals of sexually abusing children isn't some mild misstep, it can ruin the lives of people and in a fair world their would be significant legal repercussions for billionaires who think they can drag someone through the mud on twitter, where Musk has millions of rabid followers. The idea that Musk is the victim in this reminds me of that "affluenza" case with the drunk rich kid years ago.

There are a lot of high profile CEOs and executives who have very stressful jobs, Musk isn't alone in this. The overwhelming majority of them manage to behave in completely sane, professional manner.

I assume Nadella and Pichai and Bezos all have a lot of work on their calendar, curiously enough they don't go on rants on twitter.
You assume that there is a physical reality "out there", because you perceive and you experience it (or you don't, in which case you are a p-zombie). The theory you are proposing is probably the most widely accepted theory in scientific circles, which is that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, but that ultimately everything that causes this consciousness are just impersonal, physical events devoid of an inherent quality of "experiencing". When you die, that consciousness ceases to exist. Fair enough.

However, I think the article is simply suggesting to invert this assumption about physical reality. It proposes that for something to be "out there", you first need an "in here" (rather than afterwards), i.e. an experiencing of forms. This would be consciousness. At this point we are not even talking about decision making, thinking, memory, intellectual pursuits... Just subjective experience. So everything you're taking into the discussion regarding how thinking and decision making and memory happens is really a bridge further; not immediately relevant to the point the author is making.

I understand if this line of reasoning feels uncomfortable. You were literally pleading people to think that this is wrong. I think that is a mistake. There is value in challenging your assumptions, even if only philosophical with ethical/moral ramifications.
