>the health benefits, both physical and social as well as even the capital benefits, are most likely very, very high and almost certainly underestimated.

I'd argue it's you who's underestimating the social and capital damage those gangs of elderly people hogging public places can cause to the working population.

It's apparent that had it been youngsters stirring up such racket in the name of "social benefits", they would have promptly been squashed. You can't just go and disturb and/or deny access to public places to other people just because you need to "socialize", it's just unfair.
You showed up with the wrong sign.
You are right, and XML parsers can have a very large attack surface due to the sheer amount of specs to adhere to.

I see XML as better in the expressiveness it has, and more mature out of the box options to validate and transform it. Security and bugs remain an issue, but at the scale it can be used, there is a fighting chance to have experts dealing with the hardening of it all.

Swagger like format definitions are still pretty lax in my option in comparison. Now I wouldn't want to get back to XML land, I just think it occupies a pretty solid niche that is hard to match with anything more simple.

I have to admit that it seems that a perfect world is probably a world without people in it. Though what does the word 'perfect' mean when there is no one to use it? [My existential thought for the day].
I think the point of the original comment is to avoid the conundrum I now find myself in after reading your response.

To me, bro culture does not evoke the environment you described. As a average-as-you-get-cis-white-male, bro culture to me is a description of a culture in which individual accountability is lacking, and who you know matters more than what you can do.

My purpose here isn't to get into a debate of who's interpretation of "bro culture" is correct. The point is that 'bro culture' cannot be tied to a subjective interpretation of the author's intent without the reader supplanting their own preconcieved interpretations.

I strongly recommend a documentary on Youtube called "The Spider's Web - Britain's Second Empire" that talks about this very problem of dirty capital being funnelled through City of London and its offshore islands.

This entire article isn’t passing the sniff test for me.

Not only am I skeptical of the technology but I’m skeptical there’s an actual problem here. On the surface it feels like a softball seat filler of an article.
Yes. The author uses different standards of what constitutes as work work when it comes to hunter-gatherers compared to modern humans. That's the point of my comment. The time a hunter gatherer spends repairing their shelter counts as leisure, but the time spent making a salary used to pay off your rent counts as work.
So, if i would manage to besiege the city of rome, conquer it and declare the forum romanum mine, and to throw out all the romans. Does that make writing "Romanes eunt domus" an act, that forbids you forever the usage of my conquered streets? M i the conqueror allowed to sentence a citizen to house-arrest, by defining social negative space?
My take on this is that governments should be incentivising power/oil companies to create public infrastructure for electric car charging which would further speed up the move away from oil-based energy.

I'm not particularly well informed but I believe Barcelona city has made some steps on this by incorporating a jointly-held power company to add hundreds of charging points around the city. Public infrastructure achieved but via private investment.

> China's WTO deal in 2001 was that in not employ capital controls with trade partnets

One, it's an open secret that China rusn roughshod over its WTO accession commitments. (Including the language you cite. For example, with respect to local content and local partnership requirements.) Two, that language doesn't deal with capital controls, but with currency manipulation and tariffs. (Both of which, again, China does.) In reality, anyone who has done business in China knows that converting yuan from local sales to dollars is a tedious process [1].

Capital controls have little to do with what makes offshoring enticing: the labor cost and regulatory gradient. Ford making a car in Mexico to sell to Mexicans isn't an offshoring problem. It's Ford making cars in Mexico to sell to Americans. Tariffs are the direct solution to the latter. Capital movement is irrelevant.

It's conceptually gridbeam. https://gridbeam.xyz/

General construction kit for real world applications. In theory you could take a machine apart and use the beams for some other machine. A smaller kit could build any of the machine designs as needed.
I feel like part of this is the ability to exclude others; ironically exclusion (or exclusivity) seems to be an important part of the American identity. I had hosted a birthday party at a public park at one point, and one of the parents had asked me if I was worried about other people being there.
Vaccine mandates aren't new. You weren't protesting them 3 years ago, but now you are willing to take the side of 3.5 million members of the community slowly dying so you don't have to get a shot. Your persecution complex is out of control.

Yes, I would avoid implementing my own binary tree using linked lists (unless it was just an educational exercise). But also yes, if I did decide that I had a production use case for creating my own binary tree implementation, I would be very likely to look for approaches that use contiguous rather than linked data structures.

I think this perspective you're espousing is "sometimes you just want to knock out a simple bespoke binary tree implementation", but I just don't think that use case makes sense. Either you want to use one from a good library or you have a really good reason to roll your own and it is worth the effort to do it well.
This is part of a bigger penal-industrial complex in the US. Besides private for-profit prisons, you also have things like this, and a very similar system for drug rehab, where minor drug offenders may be sent to a privately-run religious "charity", which, rather than providing any kind of counseling or treatment, resells them as indentured labor to various industries, including meat-processing plants.

Awesome! We need more countries implementing systems like that. Once that happens, an international or at least EU standard is hopefully soon to follow.

Very much yes. Imagine all the obnoxiousness of current internet cultural wars. Red guard is that, except it was a literal physical cultural war and they were the winners, which shaped their identities and sense of entitleness. It's a cohort with very strong personalities from a era where lack of shame was both a survival mechanism and got you far.
No they shouldn't. There are high-risk payment processors that will serve foreign intelligence operations like wikileaks, fascist political donation services, fraud-heavy industries like fiat to crypto onramps and socially regressive businesses like porn. There's no need to regulate low-risk payment processors as the industry is not monopolized in any way and it's trivial to find one that will take your money.
My situation is similar. My adopted parents were nice people, but nothing like me. I felt I little alienated growing up, and I attribute at least some of it to this. Of course, there are plenty of biological children that feel that way, too. My brother, who was my adopted mother's biological child, no doubt had a harder time then me because of a learning disability. And I recall a friend who grew up sensitive, artistic, and gay, much to the horror of his macho race-car-driving biological father.

You’re not in violation. If people download the binaries, and you offer the source code at the same download site, and they choose not to download the source code, that’s on them; you are off the hook.

I also did not mention (because it was not relevant to the parties being discussed) one other option: If you received the binaries from someone else, with a written offer for source code, and you are distributing the binaries non-commercially, you can simply forward a copy of the written offer of source code you received.

The section of the GPL 2 you want is section 3, and in GPL 3 it’s section 6.
Zip isn't a binary data structure protocol though, it just provides a compression protocol. I'd argue that while zip is technically older than gzip (3 years, 89 vs 92), it was proprietary for much of its history, and thus gz is an older "standard".

There may be differences about mobility in the future. Also I read that house insulation was the way to go. Semi passive temperature control.
Pitching your company to be acquired by the next corp is in itself a form of sadness. While exits are great when they have great outcomes, 9 times out of 10 (maybe more), these acquisitions end up providing less benefit for the founders that sell their company than they might expect. The sheer number of fire sales, acquihires, ripoff acquisitions, and more shows that acquisition by BIGCORP shouldn't be blindly seen as a success. In fact, when I see an acquisiton announcement from a company I really liked working with I can't help but feel sad for what I know will be a likely outcome: the death of the product I like so much.

Focus on building things people want and building a sustainable company that can grow and continue to provide benefit. Not the tech startup equivalent of house flipping where you build something that's not meant to last in hopes of flipping for a return. When you raise venture capital, especially, these stakes are poor.

Build to last. Build to compete. Build to make your customers thrilled. Never build to flip.
People think that by giving government power they're doing good. That, with the help of government, together we can collectively unite and form a Utopia.

But history has been populated by way more dystopia and bloody revolutions and governments that crush the people, than collective harmony Utopias.

Human beings are way more primitive than we realize I think and will corrupt ANY system, capitalism, socialism, democracy, etc.

I don't know if it's because power corrupts or sociopaths get into power. So while it seems good at first over time that power will be abused.

> Yet the dancing grannies took over a soccer field, while a game was in play.

I'd be interested in knowing the full story. Was it some kids kicking a ball around, or was it an organized match scheduled ahead of time on the playing field?

Where I used to live in Seattle, I knew that the grannies would come every week at a certain gym floor. Did they have a reservation? No, but I wasn't going to be an asshole and try to interrupt elderly women dancing and socializing.

(One could however criticize LA Fitness[1] for putting the dance floors and boxing bags in the same room!)

Now if they barged into a professional sports arena and tried to take over, hah, yeah, that's a problem! :)

[1] I actually have a number of criticisms of the old DT Bellevue LA Fitness but since they aren't there anymore, it doesn't much matter.
I can't believe that Hells Grannies actually came true. Monthy Python saw the future but it turned out it was Chinese and not British.

It's probably all the anti-natalist propaganda. Well, at the end of the day anti-natalism is a problem that solves itself, populations that are inmune to those memes will thrive, and others will disappear.
I understand your point. Regular obligations exist in both sides. But when you operate as you wish for your own benefit, the basis is flipped.

ps: Sincerely, I mentioned above about volunteering. I used to wake up at 6 in the morning to unload truck 3 times a day. For free. Yet, I woke up every day very nicely, went there free minded, felt like a damn game to me. I gained daily rhythm (important for health), daily physical activity, sense of contribution as it was a food charity helping people in the area and zero obligations.

Meanwhile my colleagues, who were paid employees were all angry. All. Ranting about not being paid enough, won't make more efforts for that money, not being respected, having to obey or I'm fired, having to follow some stupid orders not being useful, having to come early for nothing, paranoia of being less favored.

Being a free man requires a lot of effort, but gives you a lot. Seeking your own goals is powerful.
There are some really goofy laws about moving medical data around. My lab is involved in a couple of large projects that involve researchers at other hospitals, and we're not allowed by law to send the data from these grants directly to our partners. Instead, we push things up to a google bucket, and then the other hospitals pull down from that bucket. I have no idea why that's the way things are done, but it's true for more than one of our grants, so there's obviously some sort of systemic thing going on with it.
In the bay area this is pretty common. I don't know what the lower end for entry level is today, but the market is very generous.

Also, in a remote setting the company saves:
Health Insurance
Payroll taxes (both company and employee)
General benefits (office, stipends, food, etc)
Immigration costs (10k+)

Those are all very appealing perks for the employeer.

Not saying it's a good or bad thing, but .NET and C# by extension has had these features for years (decades in some cases) while the only thing java has are half-baked prototypes and plans to 'maybe' implement things. In many cases these plans just get endlessly pushed back and new java major versions just become a pile of simple bugfixes which in the past were just pushed as minor jre updates.
It's been a while since I have read up on Open Source Ecology, but my memory is that modular power unit is a stand in for several options. One option is the power cube, which is a gas engine:

I believe that the creator of the project uses these, and has said that there are alternatives in case gas is not available.
Loading assets != running JavaScript, which is what we're talking about here. It's also a difference between startup slowness and long-running slowness. And Electron, for example, would (normally) only ever be "loading" JavaScript from disk, like any other local app would.
Having 1 child with no cousins is going to be expensive, but like much else, there are economies in scale.

My siblings and cousins have always just passed around clothes as children grow out of them. By the time an article of clothing makes it out of the family, it has likely been worn by 3-4 kids. And then you sell it or give it away.

Sure, some stuff wears out or is destroyed, but you'd be surprised how little. Just stay away from all that pop culture crap where most of the money goes to licensing fees ;)
"If the penny hasn’t dropped yet for anyone who was still wondering, this is what Brexit was always really about."

Which is to say, if you hunted around for backup plans, "global financial hub" was always first on the list.

It appears that it may be backfiring, however, as financial services and banks, etc., are decamping to Frankfurt ...
They are not, that's why you would use a flat layout for your primary iteration order. But for any secondary ordering/indexing you might need, if you also need fast insert/removal, chaining in a list can be an option.
Not necessarily, because it depends which city your hub is in. Other airlines might have issues connecting to that city, but if their hub is in a city that doesn't have heavy anti-vax presence, then they are only slightly impacted.

Jacksonville FL, for example is a major SW hub, and was completely shut down. Similar issues exist in two other major SW hubs - Houston and Phoenix.

Also, not all other airlines have mandated vaccinations. ...and those that have aren't in heavily anti-vax cities.
Exactly, it could have happened anywhere but this is Jobs in 2008. If he's bought you already, leaving the details to Eddy, and you basically announce that Eddy won't cut it you're asking for a reality check right there. Then it's this if in a hole, stop digging.
> I'm thankful I was born in the US above anywhere else

Ah yes, such a wonderful place to live:

- Innumerable shootings (mass and otherwise) and yet "oh no, its nothing to do with our complete lack of gun control"
- Healthcare that bankrupts you
- Horrible agriculture practices
- Large portion sizes
- Worldwide taxation by IRS
- Incessant tipping of anything vaguely resembling a human that moves or breathes

The list goes on no doubt.

The whole Donald Trump era culminating in the events of 6 January 2021 said a lot about the sad state of modern day America. That and the way the US failed to get a handle COVID.

To use your words, I'd absolutely never want to live in the US, so many better places to be born and live on this great planet.
The fundamental idea of carbon pricing is that businesses right now have basically no disincentive to spewing out as much CO2 as they want, except possibly for angering a relatively small amount of people who care strongly about the environment. Why on earth would they voluntary spend the money to needed to reduce their carbon footprint? (unless they determine it is cheap enough to buy offsets or whatever to be able to call themselves carbon neutral for marketing purposes.)

This also means that development of sustainable alternatives is often slowed, as they will cost more at first, even if they happen to end up being less expensive in the long run (which is unlikely to be true in all cases, but which could potentially be true in a few specific scenarios).

But what are the alternatives? Simply outlawing burning of gasoline effective on some future date will be no more equitable.

Putting a strict quota system on companies would also cause prices to rise and be unequitable to.

I don't see any realistically implementable system that does not potentially cause prices to rise, and obviously rising prices on most goods disproportionately affects lower income people.

Amazon (especially AWS) is the pioneer and market leader in its segment and the work culture is still terrible. Blue Origin is playing catch up to SpaceX, so it's hardly surprising that as a Bezos-led company the culture is even worse.
I'm not sure that's true anymore. Both truly unpredictable and "truly random" phenomena (whatever that means) are incompressible and thus unpredictable. I think they are largely interchangeable, formally.
