It is not the point of the argument, but the "pay 50x". The top 0.1% of the athletes that take home serious money (50x more than average, let's say) don't work (train) 50 times harder, they are just successful at what they do; they are paid for success, not for the effort.

I'm using logic. Intellectual Slavery is a logical term that corresponds much more closely to the rest of our language than IP.

"A slave is a person owned by someone and slavery is the state of being under the control of someone where a person is forced to work for another"

I think "Intellectual Monopoly" is a good term too, if the term "Slavery" makes you queasy. I think they are both 10x-100x more accurate than the current "IP" lies.
Apple fought a court battle over this and won. If the government just beat the CEO over with a rubber hose until they built in backdoors, why would they bother publishing a public treaty or trying to amend the laws?

Executives of small companies should not be counted, I really doubt they are paid as much as the rest of the company if the entire company is 200 people. For big companies of over 10,000 people there are not enough companies to have that many top executives.
I'm with you on that. I come from a background of Dev and have been called DevOps (by others), although I just call myself a problem solver.

The realization that I really needed to understand what happens in operations for me came around '09, when the Xbox Operations Center called me and told me my code wasn't working, and we had such a wall between us that I couldn't see what was going on, and they couldn't describe it either.

I ended up writing automated publishing pipelines for them to take the most risky parts of their dozens of pages word doc and writing tools to do this for them automatically. Most people didn't even think this was a thing that could be done, let alone should be done. Problem solved!

I think people who are territorial are inherently insecure in their skills and therefore fear getting out of their comfort zone. Generalists are far better than specialists in my opinion. You want someone to go where the problems are, rather than people who invent new problems for others in their own little empire. I think a lot of big companies are so big they can have people silo'd all day, so people don't even think about the people and systems they are affecting.

Because those people are operating outside the law. It's not as if we know who they are.

It happens to be a crime here in Brazil to invade lands and burn preserved areas. People should and have been arrested for it.

The deforestation is purely a political problem, this has nothing to do with economics as you've tried to portray here.

--

Btw, by "political problem" I mean that the government was outright saying that the deforestation and fires "are normal" [1], or they're accusing NGOs of starting the fires [2], or even denying external help to avoid the fires in Amazon [3].

The current position of the government is different, however. Now is that the fires should be stopped, and the army has been sent to Amazon to arrest people. [4]

And that was thanks to both external and internal pressure. Why did it took so long? Because there were too many criminal apologists trying to justify why burning the country was needed. But it wasn't.

Exactly. And using your money and influence to control development in a way that limits competition and keeps prices/rents artificially high (as is the case in real estate across the North America) is textbook cartel behavior. While there are some subset of developers pushing for increased development, as was pointed out downthread, the largest real estate lobbying group in the US works tirelessly against higher density development.

It’s funny how people can observe cartels in other basic inputs into the economy, like energy, but miss them entirely for the equally basic input of land/housing.

>The idea that gun control and lenient criminal laws caused lower homicide rates in Europe contradicts all the available data

Does it? Check this graph of historical rates in Europe going back to 1300 and covering the whole 20th century:

https://ourworldindata.org/homicides

It was much worse in the past -- and even before the abolishment of the death penalty the drop are related to a more lenient system (e.g. check France during Les Miserables times, or England and Dickensian conditions), plus increased prosperity of course.

Now go to the "Global long run perspective" and click to add United States. Historically worse than Europe (measurements start from 1900 but not so complete then).

> Why do I need to understand how the compiler works

How do you propose to master the language if you don't understand the principal tool that embodies that language? Of course it's always an option to use a language without really understanding it, if that's your thing.

> Closures are not a complicated concept

The first lectures introducing closures after their discovery had CS professors in the audience who didn't understand what they were good for. Functions could access a bunch of data outside their local scope before that.
So the retort is to imply that they didn't understand the math they had in school?

To me it comes off as somewhat douchy.
Bits of Advice for New Programmers
A good summary. Notably, none of these constitutes any sort of argument against just compiling with the C++ compiler, and relaxing into its objectively superior for-loops and std::array types -- to start with.

Once there, of course, the objectively more powerful, safer, faster (than can be coded in C) C++ libraries come into reach, and you are off to the races. If you have been deluded that C++ is all about virtual functions and heap allocations, you are in for a happy surprise. (My programs run for days or weeks using neither.) The most distinctive development in C++ in the past decade is that it is overwhelmingly more fun to code in, than before, and than C.

Different people trace the fun to different places, but for me it centers in generic lambdas. I like to use them to invert control structures and cut down repetitive code.
> As a rule, people are not the cause of an outage.

But leaders are.

Most enterprise post-mortems I've read will deliver pages and pages explaining (or justifying) poor system architectures. But they will never, ever criticize the executive or tech lead who decided on that structure to begin with.

Everyone makes mistakes, for sure. One stray outage is likely technical in nature. A simple oversight that can be corrected. But if an org's systems are constantly failing or breaking, then it falls to the leader of that org to reshape its structure.

Or they can pretend that blame doesn't exist. The system is fine. A band-aid will suffice.

Without commitment to fix systemic failures, "blamelessness" enables the abdication of leadership.

Not only that, but a lot of the state is essentially the same for many/all users/connections and can be shared.

Let's say in a chat app with a Redux setup I'd maintain channel users, messages, own profile details etc. in the app's own local state. With LiveView I'd only need to store the user specific stuff in this user's own state. Some of which I'd store in the socket.assigns of Phoenix Channels subscriptions even now with a conventional Redux setup.

Also, if we're talking backdoors, why not just force Apple to unlock devices so that police can just read the messages in WhatsApp directly? That's something I could get behind as it means the intelligence community has to at least have the physical device on hand.

I've been on both sides of that fence for 13 years now (currently in a really nice dev job.).

To me it seems like things are getting better. Often devs and ops are the same kind of people only on different teams, or even embedded in the teams. Nobody is hiding anything and people are working together if stuff breaks.
In a large company where a top executive earns over a million dollars per year you have multiple levels of managers, directors, VP's. They all earn more than the lower level, from 20-30% to double that, otherwise there is no incentive go invest all that time and effort in a career for a 5% increase.
That means the top executives need to be paid more than the people below them, that makes it quite a high starting point. Yes, paying executives more than 10 million a year is probably too much, but the number of such position is quite small and there is still the benchmarking: you cannot offer a CEO of a top 25 Fortune 500 company the same package as the CEOs of the bottom 25 in the same list. Running successfully a larger company should be rewarded better, at least in theory.
Probably, otherwise why would have they wrote the way that they did? And earlier than that we have Achilles, the male character that is synonymous with courage and presented by Homer as “the greatest of all Greek warriors”, but even so he wasn’t afraid to cry when his close friend Patroclus was killed in battle.

Super Graph: Instant GraphQL API for Rails / Postgres App
Intellectual Slavery laws of Copyrights and Patents do not in practice "promote the progress of science and useful arts". Instead they serve to transfer wealth from the majority of people to the 1%. Almost all profits from such laws flow to the richest corporations and individuals.

In places where such Intellectual Slavery laws have been flouted, such as China in the past few decades, you've seen great progress. If IS laws were followed in China, you'd have a richer Bill Gates and a lot more poor Chinese.

In the United States, in states that produce fewer information products, you see much lower standards of wealth, education, and health, as a substantial percentage of income flows from these states to IS states in return for overpriced information goods such as textbooks, software, medicine, and entertainment.

If people instead were free to use their own equipment to copy and share intellectual goods, such unnatural flows of wealth would not occur, and you would see a drastic lowering of wealth inequality, an improvement in education, a reduction in healthcare costs, an increase in higher quality educational content, and more.

The progress of science and useful arts would be accelerated, as billions of people would have access to the same information that currently only the wealth 1% have access to.

Perhaps there might be a few inventors/scientists/authors/musicians/etc who might decide without monopoly profits they won't invent, but even if there were, the impact from their abstaining from the field would not even be noticed, as there would be a flourishing of inventors/creators/etc who would thrive in the absence of restrictions on what they can do with ideas.
> will prevent the next 9/11

When you consider the societal fallout and everything that has transpired since, the most insane part to me is that by its very occurrence, 9/11 itself already prevented the next 9/11. The "next 9/11" was to crash the fourth hijacked plane into a high value traget; the plane on which the passengers fought back which was crashed in Pennsylvania WAS the next 9/11. This was a tactic that was apprehended and adapted to before the day was out. It worked three times on one day, once. An update to the mental calculus of common folks was all it really took. If we had successfully prevented it re-shaping our society, it would have never, ever, ever worked again. This newfound understanding of the rules coupled with a straight-forward countermeasure like reinforced cockpit doors would have closed off that vector of attack entirely.

19 malevolent people acting in 2001 have colored nearly two decades of policy for America. I remember two particular circulating ideas from the time: "they're attacking our way of life" and "they hate us because we are free." The latter was much more divisive and so people spent much more time arguing with each other about it. Meanwhile, whether intentionally on the part of the attackers or not, the first was very effectively accomplished.

Maybe if there had been no 9/11, the agencies charged with protecting Americans would have still been seduced by the ease with which modern technology enables broad surveillance. Maybe hoovering up all the data is too good an opportunity to pass up. Regardless, I yearn for, and still miss the end of history. Our hubris has been rewarded with interesting times.
Indeed. As I put it on Reddit the other day:

> Maybe you think that allowing people with a broad spectrum of opinions to work together on open source was only necessary in the early days when the movement was small and obscure, and now that it's popular and successful, those on the Right Side of History are justified in closing ranks and purging all who disagree because it's Their Movement. But I would say: why do you think the movement was successful in the first place? If you kill the common ground between hackers of all stripes, you're slaying the golden goose. The movement will not only resume languishing in obscurity, it will collapse in a series of petty squabbles over who has the correct exegesis of bell hooks's Ain't I A Woman with respect to routing underprivileged TCP/IP packets and who is obviously wrong and a cryptofascist and must therefore be expelled. Because that's where the movement will end up, once the current contingent of people pressing for power in FOSS get their way. (There is another theory which states that this has already happened; RMS is no right winger after all.)

Unfortunately doctors are completely ignorant about the financial aspects of this.

It's rather mind-boggling to have someone say they're completely ignorant on the financial end of things but simultaneously replying and seeming to defend what happened.

I remember helping a friend get plastic surgery, dealing entirely with a physician for the surgery before hand and then arriving at the hospital and being handed a request for several thousand dollars for the hospitals end of it. And when this was broached to the physician, he made noises whose meaning were somewhere between "I just work here" and "isn't that what you expect when you go to a hospital?".

I don't see any good solution to this problem, especially as we're taught in med school that the patient's health is the most important thing and financial aspects should be secondary.

I'm not sure why you knowing how this works means it is insoluable. An obvious solution is the California bill which keeps hospitals and doctors from making such outrageous charges (of hospitals think the consultants are necessary, they can find a way to engage without the out-of-network charges - as a "your problem, you should solve, not us" thing).

The sort of discussion veers in just weird implications - "I'm a doctor and I'm ignorant of these, that means you should be too and you avoid considering obvious changes to make thing more rational just as I do..."
