The problem is not the built-in Clojure data structures. The problem is that a huge part of Clojure's heavily marketed value proposition is seamless-ish Java interop, which means working with Java objects and all their associated mutability. So while pure Clojure has very controlled mutability, pragmatic Clojure inherits all of Java's problems. And since they hype interop so much, nobody wants to rewrite functionality in Clojure when they could just leverage Java.

> coup attempt

it was neither a coup nor a coup attempt. i have a hard time fathoming the combination of ignorance and privilege that would lead a serious, thinking person to make this claim. at least the politicians grandstanding on the verge of tears are playing an angle.

what do you think would have happened if the rioters captured every single congressperson? what if they were all killed? if you think the answer to either of those questions is "the rioters assume control of any part of the federal government" then im not sure we have anything to discuss. killing congress doesnt, like, make you the new congress.

if you are calling it a coup because they WANTED to control the government (noting how ineffectual their attempt was), then you are making the word coup meaningless. you might as well call any whitehouse trespasser a coup.

context matters. they were political rioters, not a replacement government.

I think ads are a decent way to pay for a service and I prefer targeted ads to generic ads, especially since they are more effective (and if the idea is to pay for the service you are using, that is relevant).

So the issue is the data, and so the fact that Google has never sold or lost their user's data - you seem to imply otherwise - is extremely relevant, and is why I'm OK with them storing my data. In this industry that is very rare, and yet you consider Google the worst - I'm having a hard time squaring that.

This is something I have thought about before when it comes to Docker. "It's just a fancy chroot" is what people often say.

While there is some truth to that statement, the real "innovation" is getting millions of people to share and collaborate using the framework. How do make it easy to share and collaborate? Making the technology as frictionless as possible.

I don't see Dockers rise to prominence as a result of some spectacular technical innovation. It's a group of technologies which already existed but now with a great UX around it.
Ah, so the reason that - just to pick an example here - my father who put in long hours as an IT professional and then came home to teach me and my siblings and kickstart my tech career, passed away is because he didn't come up with a plan and get busy not being a cancer victim?

The word “idea” might be the problem. “Business plan” or “business strategy” might be better? Even “mission strategy”?

That encompasses the idea and how to get it executed and what resources are needed to get it to be sustainable, over what timescale.

This applies to business but also charity, non profit, political efforts etc.

Notice I didn’t mention profit or even revenue. These days ideas can go a long time being supported by investors who see the strategy.

For example I am thinking of YouTube, Tesla etc.

But there needs to be a strategy. Like a rocket launch or starting a campfire there might need to be different stages where the idea to the uninitiated looks very different at each stage, but it’s all part of the same master plan.

Worse, there were actually two different foot measurements, one used in surveying and the other more generally. They vary by not much, but it adds up when surveying, and still causes trouble today as you have to determine whether or not something was measured using one definition of a foot or another. Of course, one pair of fingernail trimmers tends to be as good as another, but one can't say the same about shoes sized for the wrong foot. ;-)

You can't simulatously argue that Ads offer value to customers and that limiting access to those Ads to a certain subset of customers doesn't harm them. You have to pick one. There are specific areas (housing discrimination) where the harm is obvious enough that we have been able to gather sufficient support to make this illegal.

> Yes, you could avoid the wedding planning site because of this, but is there any reason to punish them? It's not their fault.

It is absolutely their fault. Content providers should face full responsibility for the Ads they allow to appear on their website.

One of the ways that the current Ad targeting system is awful is that it allows advertisers to pretend to foist this responsibility onto Ad companies that are much more insulated from consumer blow back.

> Isn't there a menu that lets you select "I don't want to see this ad"?

Those menus often don't stop other Ads of that type from being shown and there is no legal obligation to do so. All they really do is give the advertiser more information about you.

If the only recourse you have to abusive behavior is to politely ask them to stop, someone is going to keep abusing you to make money.

Branch prediction works predictably well when the branch is heavily biased towards one outcome, typically follows a repeating pattern of a short length (eg. taken once every three iterations), or is strongly correlated with another preceding (not necessarily local) branch. Conversely, branch prediction works badly when they are data dependent on irregular data.

This confuses two different uses of 'public'.

Town square implies Gov owned property, that is set aside for the use of everyone.

> Lawyers effectively defending awful clients, for example, managing to get them off the hook on a technicality, are likewise generating massive negative externalities for society at large.

This is a harmful misunderstanding of how the legal system works. Subjecting laws and procedures to scrutiny, and exposing "loopholes" is exactly the role of a vigorous defence. The fact that the consequences for the state (and society) of miswriting or misapplying the law can be so severe is exactly what keeps the system honest.
The same happens with foreigners learning Mandarin Chinese. The consonants are easy, but each vowel can be pronounced with one of 4 different tones (or 5 if you count the 'neutral' tone).

If you get a tone wrong, sometimes people will understand the erroneous word due to surrounding context. But pretty often you'll just elicit a blank stare. This is especially the case for short phrases, e.g. when you're asking for directions.

> unless you go to a lot of trouble, you're essentially relying on the ad network's own metrics for efficacy

There's a whole ecosystem of "buyside verification vendors" that advertisers contract with to validate that they're getting what they paid for. Buyers don't just take the seller's word for it, or at least enough of them don't that shady sellers are kept in check.
Note that this is not targeted to branch prediction, but compiler optimizations. It should be done carefully, because it tends to have a larger downside than its upside, and the changes the compiler makes based on it can be unpredictable, and unstable.

> Trying not to branch (not always possible) is best...

Branches are often faster than branch-free methods, since they can speculate certain data dependencies away.
I like to think of google ads the IRS of the internet. I pay my ad agency to minimize my google ads tax, not to grow business, same instructions I give to my tax accountant. Google will argue that everyone wins if you grow and pay more google tax, but many have tested this and proved it not to be true. Said another way, how good of a job your tax accountant is doing is orthogonal to growing your business.

That's ludicrous. The apex predator on the planet that has violently gained control of the planet and killed trillions of other species including its own kind is not only mentally prepared to confront graphic violence, it is hardwired to conduct graphic violence on both a personal and global scale, things that were published on Liveleak. But don't be hard on yourself, most people make believe and live in a fairy tale world that props up the falsehood of who they really are. Shutting down sites like Liveleak is just another way to perpetuate the fairy tale and hide the ugly truth.
> are all attempts at persuading someone to change their behavior unethical

Same answer as a sibling comment. It's unethical to take advantage of a person's psychological blind spots or weaknesses to turn a profit.

> What if an ad is for a product that someone wants

Do they want it prior to viewing the ad? If not, the ad is creating a psychological desire for something not previously needed or wanted.

Or did they pull a trick like a sibling commenter called out - searching for "good USB drive" and providing an ad. The ad takes advantage of being shown in response to a keywords that implies a level of quality of the product that isn't substantiated. There's no technical reviews that demonstrate that it's good, or even suitable to the task at hand. The only thing that actually sets it apart is how much was paid to put it in front of the searcher's eyes.
> The report said investigators had not found evidence that Broadband for America or the lobbying firm it used for the campaign were aware of the fraud.

How could they NOT have known? I mean... surely they were seeing these fraudulent comments, and the internet was stirring about it because we all knew they were fraud. Claiming that the ones who paid the fraudsters were unaware seems like a stretch. Did they not look at what they paid for?

I find it hard to believe these investigators truly think Broadband for America had no idea.
The general /r/personalfinance plan is:

- Pay off your debt, then

- 3-6 months of savings, liquid, then

- Buy whatever you want

I'm saying this given that I definitely don't have 3-6 months of savings liquid (yet) though I have paid off all of my debt. Getting rid of debt is incredibly freeing in and of itself.

> If you buy youtube premium you'll very likely see more ads for youtube premium

Really? I have youtube premium and I can't recall seeing ads for it. Why would they advertise a product to people that already have that product?

> Google Ads could have a flag that turns it's data collection/sharing off and replaces it with micropayments to any site that user visits that are running Google Ads.

FWIW, this flag already exists, except you don't have to do micropayments: https://adssettings.google.com/

I guess you still see ads with this setting, they're just not personalized. Hypothetically you could imagine a "stronger" setting that doesn't just do away with personalization, it does away with ads altogether by allowing the user to "outbid" any advertiser. But I suspect there will be some surprised users who get a bill for hundreds of dollars by doing some particularly high-value searches like "personal injury lawyer" or "mortgage" or something.

And if it were a flat rate, my intuition is that the fee would have to be much higher than most would expect or be willing to pay.

Advertising is not inherently bad.

Because doing so would require twice the cache and execution bandwidth. It is usually better to take the gamble and fetch just one branch. If you don't want to gamble you could stop the current thread and continue with the execution of another thread (if you have simultaneously multithreading/hyper threading).

In some cases the compiler may decide to evaluate both paths and then "undo" the path that was wrong. This is very common on VLIW architectures like Itanium which have hardware support for this (predicates), but it can also be done with other instruction sets.
