Basically to evade American reach, you need to have support from Russia and/or China. If you don't have that support, you are going to have a very hard time.
It does make sense. In hindsight. But why would the tribes send away all their daughters in the first place? I don't think that inbreeding was a concept back then. So what compelled a rich and powerful father to send away all his daughters. That seems rather odd to me.
Very handy when you need to break people back into their own PCs. Ntpasswd wasn't working on some newer UEFI based installs, but Hiren's has been solid.
Yes. That is correct. One is outright lying about facts critical to those making decisions to invest. The other, even if ludicrously optimistic, is not and relies on the listener to evaluate the facts backing said promises.
Ovid2 said Perl6 has a good concurrency model

lliamander replied that Elixir does too and it's worth a look

To that, 7thaccount replied that Perl6 and Elixir fill different niches.

So far, it seems Perl6 fills a niche that requires scripting and first-class concurrency.
My question then is: what is this niche that requires very solid concurrency but also scripting. In other words, what does Perl6 have in terms of concurrency that Python does not (given they are both scripting languages)?
Yep. Nowadays Erlang (or Elixir) would be my tool of choice for that, but before discovering those (or when that felt like overkill) a quick Perl script would be my way to go.

Incidentally, apply this to web requests/responses and you've invented CGI (where Perl was incredibly useful, even if PHP happened to be a bit more popular).
This is a very inaccurate and misleading characterization, there was no one single war, and the warring sides have changed alliances and some were wiped out completely.

Until about 1920s kurds were mostly on the same side as turkish government, and were helping turks to quell rare rebellions of non-muslim population (mostly armenians, greeks, assyrians) who were treated as second class citizens. Only in 1920s after most of the non-muslim population was killed in genocide, or displaced during population exchange with greece, Turkey started using their honed ethnic cleansing skills against Kurds.

There is as much reason for Kurdistan to be part of Turkey, as for African countries to be part of France, but Turkey not only doesn't agree to this but also fights against kurds in neighbouring countries. It can be stopped either when Turkey becomes civilized (1) country, like european countries did, or when stronger countries force it to behave in a civilized manner, like US was doing until now.

(1) denying genocide, having laws against "insulting Turkishness", oppressing minorities are not things that civilized countries do

Bitcoin can be "killed" in the sense that it can become useless for the 99.99%.

Simply hunt down vendors who accept Bitcoin and organizations who facilitate its exchange.

At that point, Bitcoin would be essentially dead as a rival to any currency.
Unironically, this could be a great movie idea.

> “We have repeatedly stated that issuers cannot avoid the federal securities laws just by labeling their product a cryptocurrency or a digital token,” Steven Peikin, Co-Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Telegram seeks to obtain the benefits of a public offering without complying with the long-established disclosure responsibilities designed to protect the investing public.”

I agree.
I fully support landmarking buildings -- it's in the public interest, for future generations, and I still lament the loss of the old Penn Station.

And many times (usually?) it's uncontested -- current owners find value in its historical authenticity, and any future buyer is well aware they can't change it.

BUT -- in the case of a functioning business that has no need for the status and finds it harmful for business reasons, it does seem unfair and unconstitutional.

The remedy seems clear: if the city wants to preserve it for future generations (good), then the city should pay the Strand for whatever additional expenses or lost revenue a neutral arbiter judges is fair. It won't be perfect, but it would be due process to make it constitutional.

Banking and insurance is nowadays somewhere between 5% and 10% (depending which calculation method you use) of the gross value of Switzerland.

Switzerland is still the biggest wealth manager. Most of the wealth (aka black money) managed by swiss banks is nowadays just in offshore tax heavens, like the US.

The real backbone and the reason for stability are those thousands of small and medium sized manufacturing companies.

The world isn't black and white. Giving everyone freedom to camp wherever they want takes away people's freedom from disease and crime. Giving everyone freedom to transact purely in untraceable cash takes away freedom to transact how you want, and also enables fraud and money laundering. Taking facial recognition tools away from law enforcement prevents crime victims from bringing their victimizers to justice.
From the SEC's filing:

> Grams are securities because the Initial Purchasers and subsequent investors expect to profit from Telegram’s work: the development of a TON “ecosystem,” integration with Messenger, and implementation of the new TON Blockchain. Grams are not a currency because, among other things, there are not any products or services that can be purchased with Grams. Rather, there is an expectation on the part of investors that they will profit if Telegram builds out the functionalities it has promised.

It continues:

> The definition of a “security” includes a wide range of investment vehicles, including “investment contracts.” Investment contracts are instruments through which an individual invests money in a common enterprise and reasonably expects profits or returns derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others. In a variety of circumstances, courts have found that novel or unique investment vehicles constitute investment contracts, including interests in orange groves, animal breeding programs, railroads, airplanes, mobile phones, and enterprises existing only on the Internet. As the U.S. Supreme Court has noted, Congress defined “security” broadly to embody a “flexible rather than a static principle, one that is capable of adaptation to meet the countless and variable schemes devised by those who seek the use of the money of others on the promise of profits.”
The guild name is in all caps. That was a deliberate choice in an attempt to be edgy, or to attract attention. If the guild creator didn't realize most of the attention he would attract would be negative, now he does.

The forced name change is appropriate/deserved. I doubt this article would exist if not for the Hearthstone debacle.

This is a very trivial example so doesn't dive into all the complexity. There is a lot of nuance here, like whether or not you really want to do an operation in the background in the first place. Background work does means that you lose the ability to apply backpressure to the calling system, and that will cause a lot of problems under load. Even if you do want to do the operation in the background, you still want to provide a (derived) context so that you can link the background work to the initial request (at the very least, for tracing purposes). That is omitted here for simplicity.

Where I was going with all of this was that the linked style guide mentions cases where people create buffered channels presumably because their channel writes start blocking. No buffer will make up for the case where the rate of work requested is higher than the rate at which work can be completed. What people really want in that case is the ability to get out of the channel write and return an error to the downstream system; you don't want to buffer, you want to cancel. There are many ways to accomplish the act of cancelling work, but you do have to watch your channel writes explicitly.
as I posted above:

I agree the GIL is a problem but it's only an issue for CPU-bound problems. Is there really an important amount of CPU-bound work that is written in a scripting language? If it's CPU-bound, wouldn't you want to use something lower level?
Bitcoin can be killed by means other than technological.

For example it can be outlawed. Sure, people would still be able to use it, but they would be breaking the law and that would deter many, possibly enough to kill it outright.

Disagree with the first sentence, "Capitalism is every man for himself." It was actually created to pool money for larger endeavors that required more resources Thana single entity could provide for, outside of the monarchs of the time.

The problem with digital handwritten notes is: They are more problematic than all the proprietary databases and file formats that we have. Personally I started using the iPadPro with the Apple pencil last christmas. Generated tons of notes with an app called Notability. Soon I realized that my notes are trapped in their proprietary format. Sure, I can export to PDF, but that’s not their database format.

I have seen many good and useful apps come and go. After these apps become abandonware[^1] we have tons of data created in those proprietary data formats, trapped in them.

[^1] off the top of my head: WordPerfect, MS Word pre 2000, AskSam (fulltext database), Netmanage‘s ECCOPro (a PIM), NoteMap (an outliner), MindJet‘s MindManager, MS Access pre 2000. - Tons of data that I created in those apps waiting to be migrated.

The flight data publicly available for the three flights, shows rather different MCAS upset behavior in all three cases. They're remarkably similar compared to what you'd expect for a normal flight. But the oscillations in the JT 34 case were not nearly as aggressive as the other flights, no evidence mistrim happened, and in fact the JT 34 pilots didn't recognize it as mistrim, it was the jump pilot who reportedly recognized something (we don't know anything about his thought process so far publicly) and apparently made a recommendation to set stabilizer trim to cutoff.

Is there training for getting out of mistrim at low altitude without the benefit of electric trim? Is there training even for MCAS upset as distinguished from runaway trim? We already know there isn't a way to simulate angle of attack sensor failure induced MCAS upset, in MAX simulators. Exactly how was it demonstrated that MCAS upset looks like runaway trim? And how much faster it commands nose down compared to the typical runaway trim case?
Get this guy in front of cspan... artificial scarcity is rarely written about yet its blaring.

Food scarcity is one of the largest perpetrators of artificial scarcity. Massimo Bottura whole model for food for the soul is based on the appalling 30% of food waste he witnessed first hand. If you ever have the pleasure to hear this beautiful man speak, you will understand the little effort, but extreme creativity that goes into combating waste. It is quite sad some chefs throw out half the meat to get the perfect box for the plate. Use the scraps for ‘family meal’ aka staff meal and boom all that waste is gone. Such simple effort is apparently extremely innovative.

We have taken the thanos mindset too far ‘I yield this powerful glove that can do anything, the universe is over populated so destroy half the universe’. It’s so obvious that you can also create double the space. The exponential growth will be the same either way, maybe a couple years lean on the destruction, eventually they will equal out when your curve goes to infinity. It’s like people learned calculus 2 and are like ‘ahaha this is bullshit it has no real world applicability’. No look at your decisions and their consequences, create a curve and measure the area under the curve, see they converge at the same axis and realize regardless of the x shift the curves both converge at the same y. Like that math has an abstract application which should be used for critical thinking application. It is very sad to see people write ‘teach me about finances and taxes calculus is useless’. The very passive application of calculus has helped me go from being in the biggest rut of my life to actually feeling productive in the field.

Anyways I diverged 3 times sorry.
The statement says they're preventing Telegram from selling into US markets. They've already sold over one billion "grams" here, so presumably it would hurt Telegram's plans quite a bit to lose the US market entirely.
Thank me.
Creating a WatchOS App
It's not just that lawmakers were against it - it's that most of the so-called "vocal minority" and Facebook's loss of goodwill with users meant that there was nobody left to stand up for them against those lawmakers.

Companies like Google and Facebook abuse their users' trust and goodwill for years and years, thinking they will take it and nothing bad will come out of it while they shower in billions of dollars every year. But eventually something bad will happen and there will find they have zero allies, making them much easier targets.

This is also why the new antitrust cases and talks about breaking them apart have popped up lately - these companies are no longer the "Internet's darlings" -- they had that and they decided to piss all over it with their anti-user actions over the years.
In a company of that size, there's literally nobody who would be receptive to such an argument.

End users don't really matter, because they're not in charge of these decisions.

Their managers have a bit more clout, but they're almost certainly not in charge of the vertical that writes the enterprise apps, so they're still not really in charge of these decisions.

Developers writing in-house apps are swamped, both by incoming requests and by paperwork and suchlike. There just aren't enough of them to be able to spare the resources to worry too deeply about UX. Besides, none of them is actually a UX person.

Their managers have limited budget, and can't afford to be allocating resources toward UX. They're worried about their own bottom line, and increased costs due to poor UX invariably come out of someone else's budget.

Whoever's in charge of in-house development cares about these things in only the most abstract of ways. They definitely don't care about individual apps and projects; they're just allocating the resources they get. Which aren't many, because in-house development is a cost center.

The executives in the C suite probably exclusively hold the power to re-allocate budget toward a more optimal solution, but they really, really really don't care about these things. As they shouldn't - the actual dollar cost associated with any inefficiency due to sub-optimal in-house app UX is probably way too small to be worth their attention.

Are you now advocating punishing people for their beliefs?
As I've posted above, I'm a bit confused by CPU-bound work being processed in a scripting language. If you're planning on doing intense CPU-bound work, maybe use a lower-level language? I'm not saying abandon Python: you can extend Python with C or just use IPC to transfer data between a Python front-end and a computation back-end.

Perl 6 started out as a plan for the next version of Perl.

Over the years (announced in 2000, delivered in 2015) it evolved into a distinct language.

In the meantime, Perl5 suffered from the Osbourne Effect.

Meanwhile a rift developed in the Perl community. Some are for Perl 5 forever. Some are Perl 6 forever. Some Perl 5 people blame Perl 6 for Perl 5's perception as a dead language. Some Perl 6 people blame Perl 5's reputation for being "write only" and "dead" for difficulty getting people to try Perl 6.

IMHO, both sides are correct, both sides over-state their case.

Renaming Perl 6 has been discussed for close to a decade, by people who are Perl 5, Perl 6, and just plain Perl partisans.

It's been a difficult decision. Many people have worked very hard on both projects, and have strong feelings tied up in the issue. Important contributors to the projects have quit as a result the issues.

This isn't a change that was lightly made. It's far bigger than the Python 2 to Python 3 divergence. It's more like moving from C to C#.
If you go to a place like Desolation Wilderness, one of the reasons they can keep it feeling like wilderness is by enforcing fairly strict rules on visitors. In particular, the rules around where you can hike, where you can camp, where you can start a fire, and what sorts of activities you can do there.

In areas where the government doesn't enforce so many rules, there will be recreational vehicles, hunting, logging, all sorts of other disruptive activities.

So ironically, the only places that can still feel like wilderness are the places where the government takes some action to keep it that way.

No, not any more - the PE licensing changed to only allow this if the PE image is created by the same user. Tools like Macrium now download the WADK SDK and generate an image at runtime.

"Body Shop" consultancy farmed me out to company producing software for corporations in an industry known for its artificially-inflated profit margins. Additionally, the software itself helps (or at least, was intended to help) the corps with regulatory compliance.

Company's software was horrendous, but they were making millions selling to this industry, and I quickly came to realize they did so by having a 5:1 marketer:software developer ratio, and selling to people making purchase decisions who were very much not spending their own money.

And as a developer who worked on the project for several months, I have no idea what the end-user experience must have been like, but I can guess.

Problems with their app dev process (largely a personal rant):

1. Nested Active Record pattern meant developers could not reason about the performance of the code. Simply referencing some Object.Foo property meant than a virtually unbounded number of out-of-process calls would be sent to the db. Management abhorred the notion of doing anything to improve this.

2. Cloud-based SQL Server hosting was cost prohibitive (customers prohibited multi-tentanting), so mgmt thought they could get their dba to convert the app to Postgres by doing find-and-replace of the SQL strings that were basically interleaved 1:1 with code all throughout the application.

3. Mgmt would get 3-4 people to work on the same code file simultaneously, in a dynamically-typed language and with no unit testing. "Hydra Bug" doesn't even begin to describe ...

And this company was making millions of dollars selling this software.
