> I'm sure they also do not meet the legal requirements of North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and many others.

China is the most straightforward example, companies cannot operate unless they basically do it through an - implicitly Chinese state controlled - partner company. China also has a literal Great Firewall monitoring, modifying or stopping all cross-border traffic. So yes, you have to play by their rules if you want access to the market.

US, EU and other western countries also require you to follow their - much more lenient - laws and rules for access to their market, but for now it's rarely enforced through blocking etc. Saudia Arabia, Russia, India, Turkey and other "second world" countries block a lot of services that don't follow their laws or government commands. Same thing: follow da rulez or our market is closed to you.

North Korea has their own exclusive "internet" and blocks all access to the regular internet except for a few highly monitored and controlled locations like universities and government institutes, which are not connected to the NK internet. Not comparable at all.

Over time I expect them to go up further as companies can no longer claim they did not have enough time or were not aware of the law (that never was a defense anyway but DPAs tend to be lenient. So far).

Since the GDPR has come into effect I see in my practice that companies are a lot more aware of their responsibilities towards their users, have better processes and security in place. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot but the improvement is immense and as time goes by and more companies end up setting an example of how things should be done and those that don't end up getting find I expect this trend to continue.

What I like most about the GDPR is that it steers towards compliance, not towards making life of businesses unnecessary harder.

Contrary to you I think the GDPR is a resounding success, the only thing that would make it much better still is if other areas of the world would take up similar legislation so the playing field would level.
You can’t create secular alternatives to religious organizations, it’s like creating an alternative to a bar with no alcohol. You get something vastly more different than that would suggest. Churches and other religious organizations are based on a belief in something higher or transcendent that is lacking in secular organizations. All attempts to provide them have been miserable failures. Sunday Assembly was the last major attempt in the US, failed, humanist associations have a long history of being for comically tiny minorities compared to even extremely marginal religious communities. Communities require people to show up, regularly, whether they feel like it or not, with family.

There was a wonderful article I read ages ago and can no longer find on the history of communes in the US over the 20th century. Not one secular commune managed to perpetuate itself across generations without turning into something vastly less communal. Most religious communes failed too but the Amish and Hutterites are practically ethnic groups based on religion and there are lots of smaller groups.

Except those editions have reference documentation that specifies what they provide, across all COMPLIANT implementations.

Android Java is more like cowboy coding, whatever needed to keep Kotlin relevant libraries going on Android.

And to know what Java API is available one needs to crawl Android documentation to track down on which API level they got added into the platform.

The irony is that I am yet to see Android Studio, Gradle and Kotlin running to top of ART/desktop, a JVM free toolchain. Which apparently would be the direction that Google is driving into.
> U.S. churches are still where communities meet

So is conference halls. So is Zoom for that matter.

Churches are also places where parents force their children to go against their wishes, where creepy priests make unwanted advances etc.

> also the ones doing most of the "heavy lifting" on any kind of charity activity

Any kind? Really? What about NGOs? Volunteering nurses? FLOSS communities? People 3D printing masks in maker spaces?

Here in the U.K., the National Health Service put out a call for volunteers to help and tens of thousands of people signed up, regardless of any church.

You don't need these for significant charitable activity to occur.

I am not saying that churches don't do good, just that they're not needed for charitable activity to occur and we need to determine whether the good that occurs because of churches outweighs the bad, (which btw often doesn't even come to light due to victims fearing retaliation).
I would say the big outlier here are the JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ, which have had zero-latency as their default configuration for 2 years now.

Also, it is worth noting, that the same person doing this research is the one working for JetBrains on optimizing editor latency:
https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2017/01/clion-starts-2017-1...

So there are companies taking the editor latency issue seriously and that are close to fixing it.
As the article points out, irregardless is pretty uncommon.

I'll be much more horrified when Merriam-Webster begins defining terrorism the way that the Americans often use it in common discourse, i.e., the attacker's acts were terrifying and the victims and community were terrorised, therefore he's a terrorist.

Meanwhile New Zealand looks at Australia, pulls out their own biosecurity system and says "That's not a biosecurity system. That's a biosecurity system.
I do agree, and take it a bit further: I feel that one of the greatest modern tricks that have been played on us is to shift attention away from the actual culprits and make us believe that it is us, at the lowest levels, who need to make the changes and fix the environment. Things like flight shaming and straws stand out as prominent examples and this could very well be due to the tangibility of the actions. When they avoid a flight and take public transport, or use a metal straw, they can feel like they are doing something. But the impact is miniscule compared to what they could be doing which is enacting a policy change at higher levels, changes which will have an impact for years to come.

This 'attention shift', it's similar to the way the plastic/oil industry successfully instilled recycling as a way to get us thinking we're doing something useful, while the larger goal was to keep plastic bans at bay [1]

This trick plays itself out in other spheres; recently in the UK we would have people "clapping for the NHS". They would stand outside their doors and clap or bang pots/pans together. Very few of us wrote to our MPs asking for better working conditions and better pay. Anyway, just last week, our government voted against protecting the NHS from a post-Brexit trade deal.

I'm not OP. And yes, at first sight that seems to be the main argument. But...

If we're fair to what it is being said, the point seems to be this: churches are like corporations: their goal is to grow in size and revenue.

That is demonstrated by the anecdata of a friend, someone high enough in a particular church, that confirms they only spent 10% of their income on charity.

So the gist seems to be this: if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like duck, it must be taxed like a duck.

Not a bad argument per se. However, it lacks supporting data, preaching for those who already feel that religious institutions are a scam anyway. So, because of that, it's not very persuasive.
What exactly is this? I am not sure I get its purpose either. Am I just opening a browser on a VM somewhere?
Your link is in reference to multi national companies. I don’t see how GDPR applies to companies that don’t do business with EU persons and without an EU presence.
In the city I grew up in in Canada, the nearby community centre was a relatively nice building on a big piece of land surrounded by a park and playgrounds. Not every one, but many had large halls and gymnasiums, some were collocated with schools, some with art galleries, etc. In the winter many distributed sand and salt, and they just generally acted as hub for anything the community required and anything the government needed to provide to the community. They also served a purpose as a shelter and support site in the event of a natural disaster.

As a child of a relatively poor family, I spent a fair bit of time there because the local government sent us a catalogue a couple times a year detailing all the programs they were running which due to our income level were more or less free (being a whopping $30 or something otherwise).

Based off this and your other comments, it seems a more visceral reaction to the phrasing “community centre” than that you have any real argument against them.

> The EU doesn't have such status or power over US companies.

US companies operating in the EU are subject to EU law. Worst case the company itself doesn't operate in the EU, however that still leaves its customers (Intel, AirBnB, etc. ) potential targets to apply pressure on.

I don't think so. The problems seem to come from more resource hungry applications (yes, that's slack) and it's not much worse than what we had a few years ago with hdd laptops. If you're poorer or in need of a cheap replacement, it's great and priced exactly right.

PromQL from Prometheus has steep learning curve because of lack of good documentation.

It's evident by your opening that you have a bone to pick with religion, so I'll keep this short. 3D printing masks for an emergency and other one offs don't come close to the amount of non stop, year long, permanent activity in charity and community of churches and mosques.
communities? no. churches are where a group of people from the community meet, that exclude others on the basis of religion. if a bagel shop did that, people would be up in arms. if they want to give away free food, why would getting taxed on profits stop that?

i'm also not sure what this has to do with taxes.

Actually it's not just lexical scoping.

If you had pure lexical scoping, given the way the for statement works, you would expect it to show the same value because it is the same x being captured.

JS actually specifically handles a for (let ...) specially by creating a _copy_ of the variable. See the spec[1] (the third clause starting with for (LexicalDeclaration ...)).

I use 60Hz keyboard autorepeat for navigation, so latency is very noticeable. I need prompt visual feedback to tell me if my estimate of the autorepeat startup delay is too short or too long. The quicker I get it the shorter the navigation sequence I can make while still having a good chance of hitting the correct frame-perfect key-release timing. Note that reaction time is irrelevant; I anticipate everything and only use the visual feedback for timing adjustment ("rushing or dragging" in drumming terminology).
Delusional? On the contrary.

If you're right (and I believe you are) that the whole world is fucked up, filled with all sort of crazy and misguided people, why not treat churches like any other worldly institution, taxing them?

Google is excellent at this kind of word maneuver, designed to confuse and mislead.

Google gets confronted about an egregious practice, and a PR representative responds with "well, we would absolutely never do [slightly worse unrelated thing]". This happens over and over again.

They get caught, MSM blindly repeats Google PR talking points with enormous spin and PR manuevering, and everyone forgets until the next scandal.

I agree with all of the above. - The incentive for a mature project with some rogue corporate developers that are no longer idealistic is this:

1) Moving a project to GitHub ingratiates them with their puppet masters and generates a lot of billable hours.

2) Once on GitHub, these "developers" keep complicating the commit procedures so that even doc fixes look like a lot of work. More billable hours.

3) GitHub makes it easy to generate green squares for review actions. Merging a PR that another idealistic person put a lot of work in just requires a click. Half of the credit goes to the core developer. It looks as if the core "developer" is doing a lot of work.

4) If you apply the above methods, you will have green GitHub statistics and increase your market value.

pg has written about similar tactics in an essay where he explains why developers love Java. It is sad that open source is now "embraced" to such an extent that the same tactics apply there.

The idealistic developers are not political enough to prevent the bureaucrats from taking over. Also, they do not have time because they are actually writing code.

A lot of what Hack introduced to the PHP community has become available in suitably forward-thinking ways to allow for a sensible amount of backwards compatibility and are opt-in.

For example, you can set strict typing on a per-file basis.

`declare(strict_types=1);`

I believe that the performance difference between the two is negligible now too. So it really just comes down to personal preference/platform legacy.

But Hack is on a different path which is potentially going to make it harder to share code between PHP and Hack.

PHP still has by far the larger community.

Given the choice today, I’d run with PHP.
Data sharing seems so prevalent, and I would dare say even with EU companies, the chances of getting caught (let alone fined) by the GDPR are pretty slim.

An interesting exercise: If you have a Facebook account, go to this page[0] or this one[1] and see if you even recognize some of the companies that shared data about you. Not to mention gave explicit consent to sharing your data ...

My list includes companies I never gave consent to (e.g. Amazon, Uber), never signed up for or gave any details to (e.g. Robinhood, Triplebyte) and some I have zero clue about, but the name alone sounds dodgy (Opteo, Mindshare Biddable Digital ...).

Thomas Piketty and so many others warned about this. I know what you're going to say...

"It's the NIMBYs' faults! If they'd just let us build more overleveraged luxury units to increase supply, everyone would have affordable housing!"

I disagree entirely.

Simply appeasing the demands of the cult of linear supply and demand didn't cut it before the pandemic and it certainly doesn't cut it now.

So called free market fundamentalists love Milton Friedman until he points out that without tax generated guaranteed income for poor people, the monetary system will break down.

Meanwhile, empty units sit and rot, and peoples' lives are on the line.

Billionaires with their "exponentially growing rent extraction without paying taxes" schemes are literally leeching the economic life of the world dry, and it's potentially going to get a lot of people killed unless leaders wake up.
