Hi: Yes, we use WASM by the way of Deno-Deploy and Cloudflare Workers but for web & logging workloads. We do not have a specific need for WASM but it speed: It is faster than any other serverless sandboxes (Kata/gVisor/Firecracker/Docker) out there. TinyML is something I keep a keen eye on as that's likely going to be what we would next use serverless for and prefer if it was WASM-able.
A lot of high-powered jobs come with strong restrictions and controls around stock ownership/trading. Does not seem to dissuade people from pursuing careers in banking or strategy consulting, for example.

They are not blanket total bans in most cases, but single name stuff is often very restricted, broad market less so. Also does come with transparency requirements.
Does hedonic adaptation mean that once we’ve solved all the harms, we will rebaseline our harm-threshold and start suffering just as much from the micro-harms, and then once we’ve solved all those, we will be equally harmed by the nano-harms? Is the endgame a hyper-coddled, neutralized, padded cell existence?

Equivalently, does it mean that if we expose ourselves to macro-harms, we will be immunized against harms lower down the scale? Is the endgame a Spartan, ultra-violent survival of the toughest?

Or is there a point in the middle where the right amount of harm is tolerated, or even encouraged? How will we know when we have reached that point?
No, Perfidious Albion is the whole name, my French teacher said such capitalisation of adjectives wasn't done in French. Country names are a special case.

It's certainly true that geonyms don't use capitals, in French: you'd say, I think, voitures français whilst we say French cars. (True?)

If I referenced the Scottish Alliance [with France] (the Auld Alliance) then it's capitalised to show it's a specific reference, not just any old alliance. Bastiat isn't [just] calling Britain perfidious he's referencing a specific term (or I guess he's ignorant and this is a massive coincidence!?).

I can't really add anything further. I'm open to being wrong.

The reason they are using it might be for legal reasons: many employees sign an NDA and it seems like they would be breaching that contract by sharing those.

The Whistleblower status was meant when breaking laws like Official Secrets Act, so a meaningfully different concern as you mention, but by presenting leakers that way, the press is framing them in a protective light. I believe that the official status of whistleblower is only in certain circumstances (the institution is knowingly breaking the law or “mismanagement, gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety”) and I’m not sure who decides whether someone applies—presumably the judge in one of the subsequent cases, which comes much later and therefore expose the person leaking information to a substantial legal risk in the meantime.

I suspect that the press is trying to encourage more leaks by avoiding headlines about how previous leakers ended up in hot waters.
Thank you a lot for your kind words, and for your interest!

The Prolog ISO standard currently prescribes less than 200 predicates (less than 150 if we discount variants that only differ in the number of arguments), here is a nice overview of all predicates that a conforming system must provide:

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/iso-prolog/prologue

The ISO standard also allows conforming extensions that any Prolog system may add as implementation specific features. Notably, we have:

5 Compliance

5.1 Prolog processor

A conforming Prolog processor shall:

a) Correctly prepare for execution Prolog text which
conforms to:

1) the requirements of this part of ISO/IEC 13211,
and

2) the implementation defined and implementation
specific features of the Prolog processor,

etc.

The general trend and intention of modern Prolog systems is clear: A major goal is to add, as conforming extensions, declarative constructs that facilitate more general and readable Prolog code that is also amenable to logical reasoning and automated debugging. However, the extensions that SWI-Prolog provides are not conforming extensions, because they change the meaning of existing, conforming Prolog code in a way that deviates from the ISO standard. The following document provides a good overview of resulting consequences:

https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/iso-prolog/SWI7_and...

Note that it is possible to add infix dot syntax, efficient strings, constraints etc. all while conforming to ISO Prolog! This is the route taken by GNU Prolog, Scryer Prolog, SICStus Prolog, Tau Prolog, Trealla Prolog etc.

People made this up because everyone needed a reason to put down the Google engineers who were suddenly getting better salaries and perks than the rest of the industry at the time. There was never any truth to the whole "employees stay at work all the time". Google has consistently had fantastic work life balance, as do most other similar large companies. It's the mid-tier ones that are sweatshops.
There is a lot less immediate danger in the world than lets say during the high of the cold, so there is time to focus on smaller things...

On the other hand, in Dune universe we see all that weird machinery used by a very unusual part of the society, the top 0.01%; and even they're not a product of the societies they live in but an import from the partially shunned Ixian community - so we can presume that the ordinary people don't make or use machines nearly as much. E.g. there are some instances of complex electronics, but it seems like most planets e.g. Caladan would have near-zero electronic industry, it doesn't seem that this would be a career option for some random inhabitant of Atreides' home planet to just decide to study electronics and make them.
I am not sure. Maybe the law states you can only investigate what you need to investigate. Climate control and music volume settings might be irrelevant.
I don't think psychology is the sole or even main issue at hand though I think that it is an ingredient in the rise to prominence of the "harms" concepts. I am more inclined to the lack of religion and the role of human evolutionary biology, in addition to the distortion in the social sciences, as providing the best explanations I have heard so far for the current social phenomena.

> I always thought Dune had lower gravity, would also explain how the worms work.

On page 79 of 'Dune' (my 1973 paperback copy), when the Atreides soldiers first land on Arrakis, a group of them 'shout and roister' as they disembark. One of them says 'Nine-tenths of a G by the book'. Another says 'Feel that under your dogs? That's gravity, man.'

So not massively different from Earth-normal. Not sure if is this enough to affect the feasibility of a winged craft (or sandworms). On that note, air pressure would also affect the feasibility of winged vehicles, as in the difficulty of trying to fly a (small) helicopter on Mars.

Why Should American Soldiers Die for Taiwan?
It’s very likely that some employees were worried either for their employment or their stock grants. It’s easy to dismiss most tech workers as financially comfortable but some make commitments (buying a house being the obvious large one) based on the current value of their heavily Facebook-loaded portfolio.

There’s been a lot of things said about the 2016 elections, mostly about the company’s responsibility and possible actions to take; picking an extract of one answer isn’t always representative of that conversation. “We don’t expect meaningful financial impact for employees” is a reasonable answer to a legitimate employee question about what will happened to them personally but not a good summary of how the company talked about this.
It would be great if folks could think beyond questioning the business model in terms of what (controversial content) increases user attention and think about questioning the model itself: using the internet to sell attention. There is nothing that demands the internet must be used this way.

The big tech companies like to combat the possibility of any such thinking by invoking people's fear of change. Something like "The internet would not be as you know it today if advertising decreased." The reader is supposed to think, "Oh my gosh, what a scary thought." However the internet as we know it today is not necessarily the best the internet could be. That should be obvious. Tech employees are having a crisis of conscience.

Tech companies and their investors want everyone to presume the way things are now is the best possible outcome. That is because they know they have a money printing machine (see, e.g., Tucker Bounds quote) so long as the internet remains open for unregulated advertising. They will keep advancing this idea that the internet would suck without unregulated ads, but there is no evidence that is true. No one can predict the future. Tech company spokespersons try to paint a picture of a possible future where web users would have to pay for using websites. There is nothing that indicates that would be the outcome. Tech companies do not control the internet. They do not own the internet. Tech companies might die without advertising, but websites might flourish. Both commercial and non-commercial. People might find relief from excessive screen time. The mom and pop retailer or SMB/SME are not going to charge customers to use their websites. Users will continue to pay access fees to ISPs. "The tech industry" !== the internet. It uses the internet to advance its own interests (these may be aligned somewhat to those of advertisers, but they often conflict with the interests of users). Tech companies must use the internet for advertising or face an existential crisis. That is not true for users. We can use the internet for whatever we want. We pay for it. Generally, advertisers do not pay our internet access fees.

We pay for access to a network that tech companies usurp to sap our attention for a fee, paid by advertisers. We do not get a cut of those payments. The whole system is incredibly one-sided and should be questioned. It is far from ideal.
I find thought pieces like these frustrating since it always devolves into a debate of definitions. For example, isn’t a passionate person curious?
Hmm? The A64 instruction set includes instructions to convert from floating point to integer and set the Inexact FPCR flag if the conversion isn't exact, which is pretty much exactly the operation we want here (it's one of the various FCVT insns). The catch is that Inexact is a sticky flag, so you'd need to clear it first. That might work out slower than "convert float to int, then int to float and see if you got back the same value" as the first C++ function does. It's also going to be awkward for a compiler to do so you'd be dropping down to inline asm. Would be interesting to benchmark, though.

(Edit: and as one of the blog post comments notes, for the special case of double to 32 bit integer the FCVTJS insn does this and puts the 'exact or not' information conveniently in the Z flag to branch on.)

IIRC spacing guild did try to keep their mutated navigators appearance secret from the general public, so having some normal-looking guild agents say "we're totally the navigators" does not really mean that they actually are navigators.
I have at least some sympathy for this argument, humans are not perfect rational beings, they can be influenced, deceived and manipulated. I am less sure about the idea of assigning blame in general, especially as I am pretty convinced that free will does not exist. But I will not go there, this just pull another huge controversy into the discussion and makes it more intractable.

That aside, what exactly are we actually arguing about? Are we discussing religion as a justification? Are we discussing who is to blame? The special status of religion? It seems to me that the positions of the people in this thread might actually be quite close together, but that everyone is just arguing about a somewhat different point.

It is very American, and seem to see people speaking out about it more there, but I don't think it is quite limited to the US.

It does go hand-in-hand with the failed thinking of trickle-down economics: In other words, conservatives use this talking point. I think it is louder in the US simply because the trust in government that you would find in, say, Norway simply doesn't exist and you get a few more "regulation in print only" there, it seems.

And of course some regulations limit who does some things, but in a lot of cases, we probably wouldn't want folks that refuse to follow regulations - particularly when they deal with health and safety.

History proves you right.

To answer the point that I think you were actually making, reverse engineering in the EU is covered by EU Directive 2009/24. This allows reverse-engineering for interoperability purposes, and (possibly in a more limited way?) also for the purposes of understanding the operation of a program.

This is a bit of a false dichotomy.

One can be both passionate and curious at the same time.

Sure, depending on the context, one might take preference - but sweeping generalisations like the one implied by this clickbaity title's question don't really add value.
Suspensors aren't really used for thrust, but as a way to augment or nullify the effect of gravity on an object.

In the books, the kernel of fictional science used for multiple effects, including suspensors which is what the Baron uses, is called the Holtzman Effect [1]. The movie doesn't mention it at all, but the depictions of suspensors with all the massive vehicles, as well as floating furniture, glow globes, etc, are all consistent with how the books describe them.

I carved turnips when I was younger, maybe only 30 (previously said 40) years ago. Pumpkins were expensive back then and the tradition, for my parents when they were younger, back in Ireland was to carve a turnip. You would do it much the same except you would add a handle and be able to carry it around with you at night. It was a lot more work to carve but it was great for trick or treating, especially when cheap torches were not so easily available.
Interesting point. I think it's something of a "dialectical" process. In periods of peace, micro-harms become important, in periods of war etc. the micro-harms lose priority. So I don't think there is an endgame, it's probably more of a "what context are we in right now?"
> For hauling containers from LA to Dallas, or even from LA to an air force base 100 miles away. in a world where interstate highways exist? No.

Moving the same amount of containers that a train can carry from LA to Dallas with trucks will require you to pay for than more 200 truck drivers/trucks for a 2 day journey. The cost compared to using a train will be ridiculous. And that's only if you're lucky. Due to trucks being able to carry much less weight, you may need to up that number (and split the contents of containers) or switch to heavy transport vehicles.

In fact you've got that reversed. The costs for moving that stuff to an air force base 100 miles away will be much closer. You usually need some trucks to go the last miles anyways, and the logistics involved in loading/unloading a train is going to make it less efficient compared to the longer journey.

Thanks for your contributions to popularizing Prolog. I have seen many of your videos. The language on the videos is simple, precise and the content mind blowing. A bit like Prolog :-)

You mention you are a contributor to Scryer Prolog. I am curious about the choice of Rust as the implementation language. There are lots of advantages to using Rust but it does not lend itself easily to self referential data structures, linked lists, recursion (tail and non tail recursion) and other things that are found abundantly in Prolog.

I'm wondering if Rust is the easiest language to implement Scryer Prolog in. I would have much preferred using something OCaml (or similar). You would get garbage collection and tail recursion "for free".

What is your opinion on Rust as Scryer's implementation language?

1. Too bad. There are plenty of other good investments out there.

2. Too bad. The removal of incentives to do slimy things like the ones that are subject of this article is the greater good here.

3. Too bad. Maybe those people who choose to serve will be those who aren't in it to fleece the system of every dollar they can.

I'm not sure you'd find my "counterarguments" any more persuasive than I find yours. I'm more interested in what the systemic consequences of such a policy would be, and, it seems to me that they tip in a direction that removes incentives to be corrupt, which sounds pretty darn good to me. I care a lot less about the effects on people who are currently in the position to exploit the system.
