I was reading this and became confused - why are you describing the plot of a fictional book in so much detail? It doesn't even seem like it's just one book, but rather an entire series! There are so many different plotlines. Then I decided to reread the start of the comment and Google a few things.

What. The. Hell. Most conspiracy theories look tame compared to this. Life is stranger than fiction huh?

Thank you.
It sounds like you're using "inlining" to mean "stack-allocating the closure", but when I think of "inlining" I think of "expanding a function body into its call sites to elide function-call overhead". Maybe there's an implicit relationship between the two that I'm not understanding? I guess in order to stack allocate a closure you have to generate new function instances for each "type" of closure, and since these types rarely change between call sites we just inline them? Apologies if I'm just dense.
What's a year in a new place. Unless it gets in the way of other plans, I've never been the one to shy away from a new view expanding experience.

You know you can make new friends as well as keeping old relationships alive. You could invite friends to visit or live with you for a bit.
Do they design the actual tin droplet plasma chamber thing, or are they essentially a systems integrator from a bunch of suppliers putting it all together into their overall design to their specs?
There's education and then there's coercion. The Amish know that technology and modern society exist, and they even participate some for work, but they don't bring it back home, and they haven't altered their way of life.

Coercion is like the Indian boarding school programs in the Pacific Northwest. Taking Indian children away from their parents and beating them if they spoke their native languages, with the goal of wiping out the culture and forcing assimilation.

I'm cool with the Amish method but not the boarding schools.
That is $300 per person, which is a small fraction of the overall budget.
I'm not clear what Samsung makes for Apple (someone might know, but not me), but it makes sense to share the more complex parts. One team does all the expensive design work, and then both benefit because the design cost is over more devices, plus more hardware means better scale factors in manufacturing.

The above is on a case by case basis. So they may share some complex part, and some other (possibly more complex) they decide isn't worth sharing.
Origins for the creation of a practice need not be the reasons it continues to exist today, unless we're mindless lemmings just copying what every previous administration did. (That may well be the case though)
Thanks for the answer. I really don't have any moral issues with my liability to the government. As I said not satisfied with their work. Some regulations are killing business. And what I'm doing is highly unregulated. So they didn't do their homework.
But in the end it is actually for me a more personal decision. Yes you could say greedy. But greedy is also an optimization algorithm.
I had not thought about the possibility of a connection between locust and the increasing popularity of no-till farming. As I understand it, tilling is one of the primary causes of the decrease in locust swarm population and frequency over the last 100 years. No-till is on the rise, reaching 21% in 2017. I wonder if we will start to see more swarms in the future.
A probe of the sophistication of a Von Newman machine, that can reproduce, would be the alien in itself. A network of such probes would be a civilization.
Modern editors often implement a vi mode, so technically everything already has been reproduced in modern text editors.

Aside from just decades of experience in efficient editing of plain text files over slow connections plus all the modern stuff on top, I'd say text objects, which is one of the first things you learn about vim. And it's not a web browser.
I thought I’d read the constitution, but I don’t remember that. Where is it?

"All I said was that YouTube should be treated as a utility"

Right I don't think you've understood the implications of being a utility in the US.

In the US:
"Public utilities commissions may grant public utilities certain monopoly rights to facilitate servicing a given geographic area with a single system. For example, in California, prohibitions against anticompetitive behavior under the Unfair Practices Law do not apply to public utility corporations."

It's funny that you chose Zurich for your example. It's a city I've lived in for many years and I think I can honestly say it's one of the great cities in the world. Safe, clean, and gorgeous. The language is really hard to learn, even if you know German, and almost impossible to sound like a local. It's also almost impossible to make friends except for expats here and there. So you're always an outsider in a town where they really don't care for outsiders. Otherwise, it's lovely.

Someone else said it well: spend several months checking out any potential candidate location. Talk to expats. You'll get a really good idea of what it's like to live there.
It's not just science, I can think of an example from pure mathematics. Cantor's work showing the uncountability of the real numbers was derided by prominent members of the mathematical community for decades. This despite the fact that he was able to boil down his argument into a proof so simple it's taught in introductory undergraduate classes. Now, this was at a time when mathematicians were still trying to rigorously define set theory and ground mathematics on a foundation of logic, but still it's a relatively simple and understandable proof. I think the moral of the story is that people are stubborn and are capable of disagreeing about just about everything.

I don't mean to derail the conversation, but this really does remind me of the game Factorio, though sort of in reverse.

In Factorio, you build a larger and larger factory out of pre-established functional components (assemblers, labs, chemical plants, etc) that take in a limited set of inputs and produce (usually) a single output. Your challenge is not to define the functional core processes, but instead to wire together those functional components by connecting their inputs and outputs in ever-more-automated fashion, starting by hand, then using simple belts (pipes) that eventually allow arbitrary load-balancing via "splitters", and eventually through to trains (the forking and load balancing happening via backpressure in the train system) and robots (where everything is managed essentially as a single state database of requests, and backpressure is provided by output limitations, usually per functional component).

Naively, I think that someday a decent chunk of programming might actually look like this, and parts even be represented visually (though in my opinion likely still defined formally as text). Only I think programmers will continue to write the functional components themselves, unlike in Factorio. They'll just live on different levels of the "codebase", and the "pipes" level will likely be a lot more abstracted than it is in Factorio.

As a software developer, I find this paradigm to map very well to serverless architectures, because you generally want to think a level higher than the per-machine basis. It does require a willingness to forgo handy and well-established tools like the filesystem and Unix pipes in favor of higher level abstractions around transfer and storage of data.
irrational indeed :-)

If B does C a favor, then it's lobbying. The lobbying laws are there precisely to regulate this kind of thing. You can't completely isolate lawmakers, and wouldn't want to. But you do want to know who they're talking to, and how much they're being paid to. That's why they have to register as lobbyists, and be audited for that. They're not allowed to funnel money or favors, and the FEC is watching.

It's far from perfect, but it's not as nefarious as it sounds. It's a compromise.
Yes it was meant as an inquiry, but I could have phrased it differently, looking back and after your moderation comments.

Then it would be mass-market. A few people would buy them, they would be highly visible - and then corporations and unions would start demanding them, and it would be a shift in culture.

You may be correct, but complaining that you will be down voted often leads to additional downvotes.
> Additionally the length of support, Ubuntu LTS gets close but RHEL will sell you support FOREVER.

A question is whether that is truly positive. A long cycle means that each update becomes a project in itself disrupting whatever else you are doing. (After 10 years so many things changed everywhere, that you need to bring so many things together ...) With frequent updates it is part of the ongoing process.

(And yes, there are cases for which one can make an argument)
I didn't mean to be judgmental. It's your decision.
This has been my basic take on it.

However, if you want a point of concern, I'll throw out some alternatives. I'm going to ignore generation ships, because those seem a trifle unlikely (too complex, rather cruel to the inhabitants), but let's imagine some embryo-laden carriers, freeze-dried aliens, and von Neumann probes.

Now, again, that's still a long way for very little gain. There's nothing physical you could bring back to your civilization that would be "worth" the trip, but what about some irrational civilizations? Religious zealots, or just a large enough portion of a technologically advanced society that says, "Screw it, let's hurl some madly self-replicating probes out into the spiral arm." Ninety-nine percent of their civilization might think that is a terrible idea (or pick your proportion), but there only needs to be a few to pull it off.

Why are we not seeing the von Neumann probes? I will admit that the other scenarios are less likely. But where are they? Even at a ten thousandth the speed of light they would have swarmed the galaxy, replicating down one spiral arm, into the core, and back out along the remaining arms.

Habits to Lose Weight and Keep It Off
in my experience, systems such as Debian and Gentoo for servers have an entirely different market than RHEL, z/OS or SUSE: the former seems to be more so used by i.t. companies themselves that of course also need to run an i.t. infrastructure, and the latter more so by companies whose primary services are not i.t., but that need such infrastructure nonetheless.

Looking at Red Hat's customer list, most of them are based in finance, transportation, retail, hotel, and other such sectors.

Looking at Debian's statistics of use per sector, the plurality is companies that develop computer software, though retail comes second, but after that it's i.t. again.

This is primarily the difference and the gap that RHEL attempts to bridge through it's extensive inclusive support, which is what one is really paying for. The target of RHEL has never been i.t. companies.
How to Use White-Labeling to Create Profitable Apps
Von Neumann probes would be great at asteroid mining. If you just let the probes keep going rather than limiting their distance, they'd cover the 50k light years easily. Not much overhead on the civilization.
Yes exactly. But the risk is on both sides:
- moving away -> New environment. Productivity goes down.
- staying -> Risk of regulatory uncertainty. Could take even years till taxes are exactly determined.
Also, a business model for extensions would be good - even if it's just an official "tip box" that enthusiastic users can pay into

How about XMPP support? I mean, you are talking about Matrix being the holy grail of chat and at the same time you do not support the IETF standard for instant messaging (which is also federated, supports E2E encryption, can use bridges to other networks and has several open source implementations)...

In general, my biggest issue with the Matrix community is that they chose to build something new, instead of fixing something existing. Granted, at the time when Matrix started, XMPP wasn't fit for the mobile revolution. But instead of improving the XMPP standard (which other people did afterward), the Matrix people decided to build something new from the ground up. They took a few different design decisions, but in my opinion, nothing that would justify building a competing solution and splitting the already thin developer community.

Now we have too solutions, both failing to find significant adoption. I understand that the matrix people probably built their eco system as a hobby, so who am I to criticize them. I just feel so depressed, seeing so much work being done on a very important subject, not fulfilling its potential due to missing focus.
Could someone shed a light on economics of working on such kind of a project?

Aren't developing third-party client for the entity which you do not control and somehow compete with is typically a futile experience?

Doesn't it go against most of ToS-es directly (e.g. Discord/WhatsApp happily ban accounts using third-party clients) or indirectly (I guess no proprietary chat platform will be exactly happy having third-party clients that compete with their official and controlled app).

I mean how people justify building a business on it given that it essentially means that they have to play on the other's people playground by the rules which can be changed at any time. Like tomorrow Slack would decide to disallow any third-party apps and you're done.

AWS -specific : watch that Stephan Mareek course videos.
I used to have a Canon Powershot for taking photos and videos before I had a smartphone with a good camera. Once I got an iPhone 7, carrying around a camera with comparable image quality just wasn't worth it anymore. I have an 8 right now, and the only cameras that substantially better quality cost about as much as a 12, which also has a good camera. Unless you are willing to splurge, the superior battery life, size, and utility of your phone will probably outclass any camera you are looking at.
I guess it depends on how you're measuring 'regulatory uncertainty'. I'm not sure trying to predict that is a reason to take the hit for moving when you're facing a million dollars.

Nice!

Though, it is a bit unfair to take the most popular anime of the decade (by non-japanese watchers) and the highest rated anime of all time (by non-japanese watchers) as an example. I would be worried if there wasn't a quality fansub group covering it.

There are also tricks to use any of the board games in a video chat as well (well Avalon is more of a card game, but you get the gist). The publisher of Avalon also has a sci-fi setting with a bunch of similar traitor mechanic games in Resistance, Coup, One Night Ultimate Resistance, etc.

A thing to point out as mentioned way above, the issue with any traitor mechanic game is that while they can be great fun, involve a lot of exploration of social dynamics, they are also not really good at team building because they require at least some of you to lie/cheat/back-stab.

As a designated owner/bringer of several traitor mechanic board games, in the before times, I/we had a general rule that traitor mechanic were "first thing in the game night" games, and should if possible generally be followed by a true coop game (things like Hanabi or Pandemic) or a silly judge game (such as Apples-to-Apples or Action Cats), in order to avoid certain types of after-game drama, cleanse the palates a bit, and do a bit of a cooldown/after-care.

Unfortunately, traitor mechanic games are generally very easy to do remotely in a video chat while a lot of the pure coop games are "us versus the board" that are tougher to do remotely. Some of them have great videogame adaptations, but in videogame form lose some of the intimacy you'd want from a good video chat, and also often give all the information to every player at all times which only encourages the types of coop players that like to run the entire game and play everyone's turn as min-maxed as possible.
I guess we shall see.

On iOS there are no web browsers other than Safari, per the app store rules. "Chrome" / "Firefox" / etc on iOS are just basically skins on top of Webkit.

See 2.5.6 here - https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

This is why you don't get any of the features / extensions / etc of Chrome or Firefox on iOS.

Apple does this so that the mobile web can never replace apps that they have a monopoly on and get a % from. If you could just visit netflix.com and have it install a Netflix SPA that worked as well as the native app, why would you ever install the native app?
