Yes, but you are underestimating the ways the state itself may "help" a company fail. Ever had all your accounts blocked for an accounting misunderstanding of $500? Had the state not pay back the money they owe you while they wait on the statute of limitations or companies suing them? Delay VAT refunding thereby reducing your cashflow?
The big 4 consulting firms aren't single entities. Each country has its own independent branch that shares a global brand, set if principles and objectives.

The Irish branch has to comply with EU and Irish law. Think GDPR and various other laws relating to keeping financial data secure. Plus they would also have very strict contracts with their bigger clients guaranteeing the security and privacy of their super sensitive commercial data.

You would be unwise to assume that the data retrieved through a customs search of your laptop or phone wouldn't end up in your rivals possession.
If the law is unethical yes.

The concept of “owing” money to people comes in part from the consequences if they are not paid, including use of force. The concept of a country is in large part due to the area in which force can be applied to ensure people pay taxes, in return for services including security.

Recently I saw the news about the Hikvision cameras being blacklisted. This came after a time where my office just installed cameras throughout our office.

Firstly, do they phone home with data like this?
Secondly, is there an open source system that could manage these cameras that anyone can recommend?

This article is a really fun read, but it is fundamentally mendacious: the City is not, in fact, a tax haven. You can't dodge tax, as a person or a company, by moving to the City, or being involved with the City in some special way.

There are certainly people in the City who will help you move your money into tax havens. But then there are people in Loughborough who will do that, and we don't describe Loughborough as a tax haven.
Economic treatment of costs varies, but there are two principle variants.

The mainstream view is that "all costs are opportunity costs", which is to say, the best alternative use of some input. This is probably best further expanded to the notion that an opportunity cost is based on the consumer value received from the use stream defined by the alternative use, which is a bit abstract, but generally tractable.

An alternative, with antecedants to Adam Smith, is that costs are based on the factor inputs to production. The mainstream views these as labour and capital (or increasingly, simply capital), but a more comprehensive view would be for a number of inputs: material, energy, knowledge, capital (itself reserved production from earlier periods), labour, organisational services, and sinks. An early version of this appears in Leo Tolsty's What is to be Done? (1886).

Service and information are distinct from material production (goods, construction, capital) in several regards, but are not fully immune to physical considerations. In particular:

- Services require labour, capital, and energy inputs.

- Services are, in the words of one of the early economists (Smith or Mill as I recall) "immediately extinguished". That is, in the most fundamental sense, services are non-capitalist in that one cannot reserve production of services as capital. (The results of services may be.)

- Information has numerous characteristics which make its pricing virtually completely incompatible with market-based systems as information is a pure public good, in the econonomic sense: nonrivalrous and nonexcludable.

The upshot is that service-and-information economies neither spare us from physical resources, nor are amenable to the management and explanatory concepts that have guided most of the past 200 or so years of economic development.

Also, nit, the question is raised but not begged:

I hate this attitude by clients/employers. "I have a job for you, here are the tools you may use" ... Gives me a Windows 10 laptop and the only way to get into the network is some Windows only Cisco vpn app. So here I am, expressing all my enthusiasm, all my creativity through Windows on an HP (1280x768 display :S) which I consider to be a very narrow channel for my creativity and it kills my enthusiasm. I want a self chosen laptop that runs Linux and a distro chosen by me. And I want a nice Logitech keyboard/mouse. I want my tools to serve me, not the IT department.

I mean, even my friend the electrician gets money ech year to buy tools. And he buys Makita and DeWalt, not that 10 euro for 50 tools package at Ikea.

Yeah I'm not forced to work there, anyone saying that is right. And I dream of starting my own business just because of this.

What if they want to keep changing their age up and down every year for whatever reason?

That has been my experience with this as well. It must be nice having an ad like this in the New Yorker but what is presented is pretty far for the truth.

The postal service used to be a corner of local life in the countryside. Postmen had the same "tournée", the list of address to which they deliver mail, for a long time, sometimes decades and mail was traditionally delivered by bike. As a result, they knew their customers. The figure of the local postman as a social presence is deeply anchored in French culture notably in popular songs.

This innovation is therefor less an innovation that a way of making people pay for something that used to be free. The reality of the new offer is that now the time postmen spend at each place along their distribution path is tighly monitored so that they don't stay too long with people who don't pay. It's not so much about introducing new care than about preventing free interactions.

Obviously it might not be obvious to the mostly urban consultants who advised La Poste on this. It is the 21st century after all, you have to capitalize on the "silver economy".

That doesn't really address the issue he raises though, you are somewhat forced to use modern devices if you wish to partake in the world/society. In addition if you get the choice at work between certain laptops and certain phones, you are absolutely forced to use those.

In addition if you look at the alternatives in the smartphone branch you get the choice between high-end android-based devices and iOS devices or outdated mid-range hardware with relatively poor support and you might not have all the apps you require.

In addition to that there aren't any services out there as well integrated as apples ecosystem is. (device to device), so if you want features like that you don't really have much of a choice outside of the big three.
For those who are interested in a similar article for economics, I can recommend this one from the Journal of Economic Perspectives, which is freely available online:

https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/jep.8.1.165 (PDF)
I can give some potential reasons why things are a little more complicated than they might look from the outside, or (I presume) might have looked in earlier decades:

- Safety is an issue (stairwell lighting, etc.) especially in buildings with research labs (ventilation and such). Police will kick you out. And you can't even go back in immediately after power comes back on; you have to let the air get cleaned out and such.

- Many courses have exams around this time. This means that the ones that are usually taken concurrently actually coordinate their exam times and such with each other, not just for room allocation (which is its own issue) but also to avoid (say) having simultaneous exams, or to avoid (when possible) having long back-to-back exams for a ton of students. If a random set of classes try to keep their times and a random set postpone and a random set skip... I can imagine it'd be even more of a logistical mess than I'm sure it already is.

- Fairness can be a concern more than it may have been in the past. For example, if some students have power at home and can study, whereas some students can't, that's going to bias the test scores. This may seem insignificant, but for an impacted major like CS where getting a poor exam score can mean you might not even get into the major due to not meeting the GPA cutoff, it's a bigger concern than it might be for others.z

- I'm not sure they could've just gotten "a few strong guys" together just like that. They didn't exactly have much advance notice about the outages.

- Classes are huge, and rooms are not exactly plentiful. Large lecture halls don't get much natural lighting (if any), and a lot of smaller rooms are also indoors without lighting. You'd have to figure out which rooms are still well-lit, and coordinate and reallocate rooms for everybody that still wants to hold class university-wide, on very short notice. That sounds almost impractically hard in a lot of cases, at least to me. (I suppose if they had software and data prepared precisely for this particular purpose, it might kind of work? but this hasn't really been a common occurrence.)

- I'm confused how you think they could "livestream the lecture" during a power outage?

- Lots more practical issues that I haven't thought of or listed... and this doesn't include some of the things other people mentioned (legal/liability etc.) which are probably sufficient on their own to justify some of this.

Now I'm sure there's a fair bit of inefficiency in the system, and perhaps some small classes could've still been held just fine, perhaps improvising in some ways like what you mention, but with the short notice they had, I don't think they had a lot of options here, and for lots of students the outcome would've likely been the same anyway. Had they had more advanced notice and time to prepare, they might've probably done better, and hired some "strong guys" to help out, and gotten powerful flashlights and such... I don't know.
Superposition doesn't stop, or that at least is what I understand. The uncertainty principle can be expressed in terms of increments of energy and increments of time: the farer I could be from where I am supposed to be, so to say (that is the energy increment) is inversely proportional to the time that can be measured (that is the time increment).

However, given that I'm no expert on the topic, I wish someone in a better position could elaborate on this idea.

Again, you're taking the words of a BayStar managing member at face value. Why? He has a reason to lie and deflect blame. There is no other supporting evidence.

Nothing else rings true about his story either. Like for example, you don't make a big investment as private equity firm based on flimsy (at best) guarantees. Regardless, had that guarantee actually happened and BayStar really believed it, they would have sued Microsoft just to embarrass them and force a settlement.

I'm sure Microsoft was applauding the lawsuit but that doesn't mean they funded it as OP just outright stated.

> It seems plausible that the SVP was just paid a lot of money to quit and not refute the blame placed on him after the rest of MS decided to wash their hands.

Only if you're conspiratorial minded because that doesn't seem plausible at all.

I think your dislike of Microsoft clouds your judgment.

There are now encoding even more efficient than VLQ, but they blue the line in between encodings and compression algorithms. Most propose to trade efficiency of encoding 7 bit chars for ability to squeeze few thousands common Chinese characters into 16 bits.

The idea I heard was that to always code in 4 bytes blocks, and use some form of delta encoding. Some variations allow for less than OlogN character position search. And given that you can feed 32 wide data into NEON/SSE, and block are always 32 bit aligned, you can have that working faster than UTF-8

After having a look at the code and the list of "non-features" (which is a rather opinionated list I might add) the "exceptionally fast" part primarily comes from it simply not doing as much as most charting libraries do. And especially when it comes to things like "No DOM measuring" you're essentially not doing something in the library that practically every implementation will have to do outside of it. It's your project so you're perfectly free to make the design choices you want but that puts the benchmarks resoundingly in apples vs oranges territory.

This is also true of QM (not just because of QM computational sciences). My MSc thesis has application to quantum mechanics. I wrote a short summary of the generalisation that I made here [1], which generalises what the Nijmegen group calls quotient comprehension chains to sets. The authors of the latter QC-chains did not seem much interested when I emailed them.

In any case, ideally the framework should touch on geometry eventually as well, but I am not aware of concrete ways to do it. Toposes are considered geometric, but I don't know whether geometric in the sense of GR. The eventual or at least, hopeful, end point is something like [2] where your mathematical framework should ideally in the language of categorical or functorial duality express physical dualities. I don't know how to get to GR, as I say, and should read maybe this [3] but there are many ways to get to QM. One example is through entropy: the generalised abstract set subobjects are partitions and partitions encode entropy through "distinctions", i.e, elements in separate equivalence classes of the partition. The category of sets itself is a model for QM theories via it's inspiration for (symmetric) monoidal categories so perhaps one would want to express in the self-dual language that as well. It's one thing to point to multiple uses of category theory in physics, but it is another to keep track of it in your personal, internal intuition strategy.

The device drivers can be a problem on many devices, even when running AOSP-derived distributions many of these are lifted from a stock distribution and used as blobs.

I'm not sure if this is a valiant attempt to confuse Americans, but this isn't true. Trains stop in both directions.

A reason it might not seem like that is that there are two branches of the Northern line running in parallel between Euston and Camden Town, and Mornington Crescent is only on one of them. So depending on which way you turn when you reach the southbound platform at Camden, you may or may not pass through Mornington Crescent on your way into town.
