The reason not to do that is that (1) it risks creating a serf underclass, and (2) a big part of the point of this is to free up time for people to do things they want to do but are not yet profitable - like study, like art, and like starting a business that isn't able to pay a subsistence salary yet. Which is completely obviated by taking that time away.

It's also based in the paradigm of forcing people to do things rather than having faith in their willingness to contribute to the community.

El Reg's house style is very much love it or loathe it, but I think it's unfair to accuse them of being misrepresentative. The Reg has been one of my daily go-to websites since the early 00s purely because I find it trustworthy and not wont to sit in the pockets of the industry it reports on.
So that’s why the CCP blocked all versions of Wikipedia in conjunction with the 30 year anniversary? Because they didn’t want to bother people with shame?

In Germany people have a completely different perspective on the Holocaust. It was horrible and a source of great national shame, but still, never forget. Blocking Wikipedia on Holocaust remembrance day would not happen in Germany.

> So 10,000 coders

You did. Sure "coder" != "engineer", though that's the closest job title that companies are using.
Yeah most developers probably do not care, but it isn't like nobody cares (for example i do and i read comments like mine on HN often, so there are others who do too). At least when it comes to text editors there are options and you can use whatever you want regardless of what a complacent majority votes for :-P.

Though i also believe that the functionality some people want from their applications is only available on (what i see as) applications with inferior UIs and they'd rather get used to these UIs than not have the functionality - that is, their vote is for the functionality, not for the UI.

The vim tricks I got used to in the past 15 years are neat for a quick remote edit, however, nowadays I enjoy RAM eating smart editors like vs code and intellij which makes me satisfyingly efficient without remembering to use my shortcuts.

What I do is mostly refactoring, finding files by name or contents and moving cursor to places I've been in which provides seamless navigation between files as well.
I think this isn't about unix tools or philosophies. It's about the fact that for a very long time these big monolithic projects didn't really allow any integrations.

Vim didn't allow integration because there was no way interface to it, and it's not an easy codebase. Neovims work is proof of that. C++ compilers didn't allow integration because they were big monstrous projects and when you need to do proper c++ indexing you basically need to compile the whole project.

For C++ this changed with clang and even for clang it took a lot of iterations and bugs inside of libclang to allow for this capability.

Naturally one of the best C++ IDE's was therefore also by the producer of their own compiler (Visual Studio).

These boundaries are slowly fading, so these arguments are kinda moot. A few examples:

I worked on the infotainment part of recently released top brand car's software. The number of engineers on that was flabbergasting. Way higher than your number.

But the reason was not that it was needed.

The reasons were:

- The approach to developing software (pure waterfall, with lots of agile BS bingo terms as seasoning). As someone else mentioned: Old car companies do not understand software. I may add: At all.

- Upper management throwing more resources at missed deadlines (that were moving all the time anyway). Every seasoned developer knows that more developers will slow you down. Nine women can't have a baby in one month.

- Trying to understand the issues with the project getting pear shaped by looking at burn down charts.

Once I was on a way to one of these meetings in an elevator and someone said: "Gentlemen, are you also on going to our weekly 'Men who stare at graphs' ritual?"

Most senior engineering folks agreed that the work hundreds of developers, dozens of engineering managers, PMs, POs, agile coaches and god-knows-what-other-fancy-title people were doing could be done by a team of around 25.

I completely agree and as such parent is right. 5k-10k people is complete overkill. But then -- given how these companies work -- it is not. It is indeed an underestimation and the very reason this will go nowhere.
A few cars will be released with this OS and then it will be replaced by something much better that someone else, not an old car company, was doing in the meantime.

But such a back and forth that could go on forever. Many e-books vendors frequently reduce their value by limiting access to a specific app/reader, or limit how useful the functionality you describe can be. For example, search is very much restricted within Kindle (e.g. I can't search for words across my entire library, I have to go into a specific book). And whilst it is true that some people are limited in how much physical space they have access to, it is certainly not universal.

Hence putting a hard price on this functionality is nigh impossible - whereas re-sale value is often easier to estimate and clearly tangible to the consumer. Claiming that they are equal is certainly not clear to me.
This is wrong every time anyone has ever tried to claim it throughout human history for any piece of technology, so much so, that there must be a name for it.
At this point we're agreeing about everything except "could" vs "couldn't"

You wrote "I don't see why a ... SVG interpreter could solve the halting problem using this..."

The "don't" and "could" imply that given this, an svg interpreter could not solve the halting problem, and thus can't give an answer of "yes".

I was saying you want either "I don't see why it couldn't" (a double negative to say that it could), or "I think an svg program could (removing the "don't").

I'm being incredibly pedantic here, yes. I think we're both on the same page, and you just flipped your thoughts from a double negative sentence to a single positive thought, but didn't fixup the part you had already written.
The argument that ROC may be considered part of PRC because PRC is an important business partner to me doesn’t seem to hold water.

How is it different as opposed to, say, Russia and Ukraine? Mutual trade is big and one player may have more leverage (as is almost always the case with two countries in proximity to each other), should we count Ukraine’s stats in favor of Russia’s?

In both cases there are similarities in language and ethnicity, and in case of Taiwan there additionally are US military troops stationed.
The guidelines are almost always on the conservative side of safe because people who died as a result of taking the medication the manufacturer recommended way turn into slam dunk lawsuits. Part of the reason the opioid problem flew under the radar is because people got hooked and weren't dying until they OD'd so it never came back to bite the manufacturer. What are the odds of another opioid type situation? What else could the FDA do with those resources?

> there could be (should be) strong consumer protections preventing the type of corporate behavior you describe

there's not a snowflake's chance in hell that a megacorporation like Facebook is going to provide strong customer protections on a long-term basis, compared to what a EU country can provide its citizens.

how can you even begin to trust something that big, that has been around for such a short time (~2 decades?).

remember 15 years ago when people thought Google was cool and "one of us / the good guys" and way more trustworthy than most things on the Internet?

it's a long time on the Internet, but it's a blip in history when it comes to trust in state regulations and consumer protection.

An Android-based infotainment system developed in collaboration with Google has already been announced and demonstrated in 2020 Polestar 2 EV, Volvo's alternative to Tesla Model 3, which might have inspired this "Volkswagen's bold plan"[1]. I have nothing against it, if the update policy would be similar to Android One's. Otherwise, it can easily become a security nightmare. Imagine, if your 5-year-old Audi car was as secure as your 5-year-old Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Hi, Thanks for feedback!

In my experience loading huge images like those and animating them is way too slow so the preview is limited to 1500x1500 pixels (I'm testing on a MacBook from 2014). I have some ideas to work around that. With the recent switch from CSS transforms to WebGL (for the image preview) I've added some additional options.

Good luck with your project!
The legal principle is simple: it make a person legally dead and so the intentional act is murder. Unfortunately the law doesn't recognise the concept that cryogenic preservation may not in effect kill a person in the long run.

On the other hand, if it were not regarded as killing, you may find healthy people being preserved based on oversold promises of revival from cryonics practitioners.

Perhaps the best compromise for the time being is to regard it as euthanasia, and legalise that with some sensible safeguards. I wonder whether in any countries where euthanasia is legal, opting for direct cryopreservation would be permissible.
This is why that arguments holds out! They do not have duty to anyone else because of this. And I'm okay with that as long as the stockholders are punished (no silly slap on the wrist style punishments) for crimes of their PtLds, as then the owners will force toe PtLds to have serious ethical standards.
- If it was just about pay, surely the incentive would work on boys just as much as girls?

That's the question basically. Would it :)? One side says it would the other says that genders are statistically different.

- Boys on the other hand have other ways available to them to gain economic advantage

I don't know about them. Sure, the 0.1% of them can be politicians / CEOs, but it's not "available" for people in general ( it requires a very specific personality IMHO ). I don't think 10-20-30% differences could be explained by this small portion.
For most men gaining economic advantage _is_ about getting a good job, and that's the only option.
I had direct questions similar to the one you describe in all interviews for hands-on technical positions I can remember.
which is where you want it, because FB doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to customer protection, compared to most EU countries. in fact their track record is both worse and laughably shorter.

I absolutely disagree with these data collecting practices, but if your data is e.g. worth $5, that may have been already deducted in the printer's sale price.

If you have two feature-equal printers, but one doing data-collecting and $5 cheaper than the other, which one do you think will be sold out first?

I wish that manufacturers be forced to also show default/required data requirements on their products similar to how they already display minimum/recommended hardware requirements. This would at least increase consumer awareness of the issue, at best maybe abolish it entirely...
First sentence absolutely, I've no argument there.

For the second point, for that to work it has to apply to the Iranian regime as much as to the west. What justification do they have for not having the west as an ally? It has to cut both ways, for the two sides to be able to meet in the middle.

> Under the one-china-policy endorsed by the United States Taiwan is not a sovereign state

That's incorrect.

The US does not endorse that Taiwan is owned by China and that there is only one China (which includes Taiwan), in the terms that China recognizes it. The US policy is to recognize China's position, and that is all it represents. If your premise were correct, the US would not be selling military weapons to Taiwan to defense itself from China.

This explains it moderately well:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-38285354

> What is the 'One China' policy?

> It is the diplomatic acknowledgement of China's position that there is only one Chinese government. Under the policy, the US recognises and has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be reunified with the mainland one day.

> The One China policy is a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations. It is also a fundamental bedrock of Chinese policy-making and diplomacy. However, it is distinct from the One China principle, whereby China insists Taiwan is an inalienable part of one China to be reunified one day.

> The US policy is not an endorsement of Beijing's position and indeed as part of the policy, Washington maintains a "robust unofficial" relationship with Taiwan, including continued arms sales to the island so that it can defend itself.

Comparing a PtLd to a "personal business" the PtLd shields the owners from criminal liability for crimes committed by the PtLd, while the "personal biz" provides no such protection.

No, it also protects shareholders from crimes the PtLd commits in order to "serve them". This is a main problem with PtLds imho.

> How wrong am I to draw the conclusion from this, that people claiming that GMOs are "completely safe" (i.e. cannot have unexpected side effects, such as creation of super-species that completely crowds out other, non-GMO and now inferior, species in the specific niche, or the migration/expression of toxin-producing genes in unexpected places) are full of bullshit?

I don't whether they are full of bullshit or not, but for the life of me I can't see how this particular example demonstrates they are full of bullshit. They made a genetic mod that was supposed to prevent them from breeding. They got it wrong and they breed. Far from producing a super species, this modification weakened the offspring and will be eliminated from the gene pool over time by natural selection. It's hardly a super organism.

This is pretty much true for any modifications we've made. They invariably have a the same effect: they enhance fitness in some circumstances at the cost of reducing in others. For example round-up ready definitely gives you an advantage when there are hominoids spraying round-up everywhere, but at the cost of some energy efficiency. If those hominoids disappear the advantage gene gave them will disappear but the disadvantage will remain, and consequently gene itself will disappear along with the hominoids. The vitamin A enhanced bananas do very well when those same hominoids knock off all their competition because their want that vitamin A, but when the hominoids disappear and they are back on an even footing with their competition and they won't fair so well.

I could go on, but it's pretty much the same story every time. Natural selection has already produced super organisms for every niche. Think the blue whale, which is the largest animal every to roam the earth. It looks pretty "super" to me. We can alter the genome to be work better the situations we create, but when those situations vanish the situation the super organisms natural selection is so good at creating will take over again.

The implicit assumption in the super organism argument is mankind is so superior we will be to bring more intellect and computation power to bear on creating super organisms in a few decades than natural selection has over millions of years. The proposition is laughable, and it's the height of hubris.
