None of those countries enshrine as law the concept of self defense in the form of gun ownership, though. The "right to bear arms" is considered the fundamental way to protect against tyranny in the United States. One of the founding fathers (Jefferson?) even posited that revolution was a responsibility of the people when a government became too overbearing.

Couple that with the Judeo/Christian concept of "value of life" and you have a people (who, though not Christian in practice, inherited these worldviews) that believes life is sacred and will fight for even the ability to defend themselves and others. Do note that the Judeo/Christian worldviews that benefited the West have been attacked and eroded over the last century and a half, and that the sanctity of human life is actually a big question mark for many. But there remain a staunch few that will continue to hold to their ideals.

> Great, now I have the tooling all set up! Slightly more irritating than other languages, but it's there.

Python, which you mentioned in your other comment, is super irritating re: tooling -- yet people seldom find the need to "justify" using it.

Sure, the simplest (and mostly wrong) way of setting Python up is seemingly trivial, just like Haskell's. You'll soon run into all kinds of trouble with pip and dependencies and environments and typechecking and linting and the myriad of confusing and slightly incompatible tools that form Python's wider ecosystem.
If they have a right to do that, is that harassment?

I doubt Purdue (up to now) has any policy saying it’s illegal to report someone to authorities for something they did. Even if those authorities are not popular right now and the thing they did is ok at Perdue but not at home.

Is it a ‘dick move’ and offend our sensibilities? Sure.

But that doesn’t mean it’s any different than if a bunch of folks from the US were at a French university during the 50’s and someone called the FBI telling them that Bob was saying a lot of scary things about communism and just got a Russian Girlfriend and maybe they should look into it.

If it’s true, then of course the FBI is going to look into it. If true, it’s also unlikely to count as harassment. It’s also pretty terrible from 5 different angles.
I would pretty strongly oppose the notion we're using it "fine". IPv4 address allocation requests are on waiting lists. As of November, almost all requests have stopped fulfilling. We've completely run out of them.
Being a functional adult takes practice. Nobody "grows up" until they've been responsible for their own actions for several years. Highschools (and to a lesser degree, parents) have largely passed the buck on this one.

If it were up to me people would get voting rights a few years after they get treated like an adult in all other capacities, I don't care if you move one up or move the other back.

Universities should treat students like adults but these people have no practice being adults so it's gonna be messy.
Aside from legitimate DMCAs what I'm worried about is losing backupped files of any sort because some rogue individual files a complaint on stuff they don't own or because of an ML error and an inexistent customer service by Google. Also I don't really like the service to sneak onto any files I upload. What alternatives do we have for cloud file backup? I already do full backups, need something to sync files between devices.

You're mostly wrong here. First: many, many companies install agents as one of their SOC2-stated controls. More importantly: depending on where they are in their SOC2 process --- ie, if they've already had their Type 1 --- they may essentially be required to keep instrumenting machines: once you state a control, it's a mess to get rid of it. You can't just decide to make a random exception for a noisy contractor.

Some kind of interaction with the window usually (again can be app specific) … reverses the order to the window where this sequence started, then may or may not continue the original order.

I’ve seen this most consistently in apps where I commonly have too many windows open, VSCode iTerm and Chrome being the worst offenders. Edit: my worst offenders, the apps don’t do anything unusual here.
sschueller made the original comparison; it sounds like both you and zepto agree it was a bad comparison.

Nobody's saying they're not doing that. Depending on life circumstances and where you live, it can take months to find a new job that's actually better than the one you're in, even when actively looking.

Oh, I somehow misread the above comment entirely and took it to mean that these rules had to be in place before we can prosecute anyone for breaking them. Not sure how that happened
Cry me a river, academics have said that for pretty much every year since 2011.
But what if you compare it to GDP? Production per capita has increased, yet the workers wages have not. I tend to think the “aberration” was due to the increase of private union membership, which has decreased since the 1980s.
Why would that be a good comparison? If Tor offered comparable services to crypto then we wouldn't be talking about crypto as something different and more advanced than Tor, which it fundamentally is.

More importantly: once you start using agents as a control, your auditor is very much going to expect you to be consistent about it; that's essentially the core thing SOC2 measures, is consistent enforcement of a documented policy. The whole point is not making random exceptions.
It ends up being close to impossible to enforce these licenses.

"and then a massive collapse when people realize no one actually cares about this stuff for its intrinsic value"

Except for the 1% of products/services that people recognize do have value even after the collapse. What percentage of YCombinator start-ups make it? What's the percentage if you include all rejected applications? What's that percentage if you expand it to "web2" companies that didn't bother to apply to YCombinator or failed before they even got to that point? Or from a more historical lens, what percentage of companies survived the dotcom crash? It's likely that most of the web3 products you see today will inevitably not survive.

I would guess the percentage that survives a massive crash will be 1 or 2 orders of magnitude lower for web3; especially considering web3 is in its infancy. But the number of ideas/products could be higher for various reasons. Until regulation catches up, the number of scams will inevitably be higher as well. The ethical parts of web3 should welcome regulation even though other parts of it never will and probably will never be forced to (depending on where they live).

The narratives that web3 is going to "take over the world and become the new normal." or that it;s all just going to go to zero are 2 extreme views. It's a set of technologies that will find it'sb(large or small) niche and do well there; everywhere else, the advantages that centralization brings will enable those central solutions to win.
For reference, I use FLAC instead of MP3. Your collection may be larger, but my ~12,000 FLAC files take less than 500GB. So I'd say it's a question of value: You could have redundant copies of your music for ~$300 CAD with a pair of Samsung T5 SSDs, or you could someday lose every email, contact, photo, document, Youtube playlist, and MP3 you use Google for.

I'm not saying it's likely, but it only has to be a one-in-100-million chance for it to hit a couple Google users.

> I think any advocate for Haskell has to justify, at minimum, why it should be preferred to all of Rust/Go/Java/Python for a given use case

At least the preference of Haskell vs Python is easy to justify: Haskell has a top-of-class static typing system and Python doesn't, which if you believe static types lead to better code (which I do), makes it clear why you'd prefer former. Whole classes of mistakes which are easy to create inadvertently using Python simply go away (or are very difficult to commit) using Haskell. If you care about code that is correct and with fewer bugs (on a continuum, of course) then that's your justification.

Sounds a lot like sexprs(/LISP), something they seem to avoid mentioning. Overall I'm not convinced about the need for new file format, I don't really believe that parsing is a bottleneck in IDEs (unless we are talking about C++...), especially with tools like tree-sitter or rust-analyzer. Furthermore parsing should be easily cacheable if performance is a concern. Going the other way, tools like gofmt etc already pretty much standardize a canonical serialization format for any particular AST.

That being said, I'm fan of the concept of structure editing etc, so I'm still interested to see what they come up with.
Maybe a dual license then?
While it doesn't have the immediate satisifaction of a twitter pitchfork mob, I appreciate a measured approach IF there is serious (albeit slow moving) action taken. The last thing we need is an equally impactful response in the opposite direction. He's the head of the school and needs to balance a wide range of perspectives and demands. The context has been set so now I'm watching to see if the actions back it up. If not, you're right in your immediate assessment, but this has big geo-political implications and needs to take time. It's similar to the Meng Wanzhou extradition fiasco; she was under house arrest in a mansion while 2 Canadians languished in a Chinese prison. IT was completely unfair and imbalanced but we had to go through our process, not stoop to theirs.
> All of these new blockchain schemes like ICOs, NFTs and web3 are just a way to recruit new segments of the population into the crypto universe in order to pump up the value of crypto currencies.

Mostly it is Ethereum which is the prime enabler of all of the things you listed above. ICOs, Tokens, DAOs, NFTs, Web3 and expensive gas fees. All of it.

Every, single feature it has introduced has created tons of scams in the crypto universe with the users who are new to this are none the wiser.

This is why we need a crash to get rid of the crypto hype-squads and focus on actually useful blockchain projects that are fast, scalable, cheap, affordable and are regulated which make it harder to create such scams that Ethereum consistently enables.

Cryptocurrencies that do not fit in future regulations will simply not survive. Especially the meme-coins.

i have a question, when iphone was introduced in 2007, 3G came AFTER that, then 4g and now 5g. why didn't the mobile revolution help move ipv6 adoption? i mean at the time, why wasn't 3G built on ipv6 instead of basing on ipv4? couldn't apple have forced websites to play nice with ipv6 to get more users from iphone crowd? android would have followed suit?

i get the whole legacy thing but since transitioning to lets say gigabit internet and beyond, that is somewhat fresh tech so why wasn't that stack made ipv6 primarily and not ipv4?

i am truly clueless on this

Never heard of SOC 2 Cert. Its as disturbing as CSAM. Its basically as you put it bend over and take it compliance, total subjection based on a power imbalance.

I love the PR. Why is SOC2 important. Because relentless unrestricted spying allows you to foster a control system like never before over your pathetic serfs that dare wish to maintain a work life balance. When that project you forgot to assign goes over deadline use SOC2 to flay them with human resources over too many seconds of bathroom time causing the project to fall behind.
Let’s say there’s two high schools, one is the ritzy private school (Eagleton Academy) and the public school that has a lot of poorer students (Pawnee High). Harvard needs a way to distinguish between students across schools. An A at Academy, after all, might be harder to achieve than an A at High, after all, Academy is a world-class institution. So, Harvard needs to tune its algorithm to factor that in.

So, the A+ prodigy at High might not stand out against a sea of B+ students at Academy, after all, Academy is much more rigorous.

Enter standardized testing: the prodigy gets a 2400 and the B+ students at High get ~2000s. Suddenly the prodigy can actually catch the attention of the Harvard admissions.
The other side of this to remember is that highly compensated employees are still subjects to this reality.

The numbers themselves dont actually matter. It doesnt matter if highly compensated to you means $88k or $150k annual compensation, $450k or $750k.

If a single earner cant buy a home outright in 5 years in that area, then the compensation isn't high enough compared to when wages were keeping up. There was a housing shortage in the 1970s too, so the supply side isnt a worthwhile deflection.

The oppression contest and olympics from the masses earning way less isn't really useful because that just conveniently perpetuates the reality.
Class action settlement?
I think it would only be like Pascal or Ada on the surface. They both have too consistent of a model to be designed by a non-programmer.

Pascal, for instance, is more like Scheme: Reduce a procedural language to its core concepts and build on top of that. No non-expert would design something meant to used to compositionally like that, it requires a particular mental model they'd lack.

Ada had an advanced (especially for when it was developed and for a procedural language) type system, a comprehensive module system, generics, a task system, and protected objects (thread safe objects) from the start. All of those are things you'd have to recognize a need for and how they would be used which a non-expert would likely not come up with (though an expert may come up with as an answer to a non-expert's requirements).

Probably the only thing coming from Ada that a non-developer may think of (and they'd be brilliant for it) would be the ability to use an arbitrary range for indexing into arrays, including arbitrary discrete types (I actually hate that no mainstream language permits this). They might also come up with ranged types like being able to specify Alphabet as 'a' to 'z' (or 'A' to 'Z').

In some regions, particularly in Africa, there is no door to door delivery of mail; for example, in Kenya. Renting a PO box has traditionally been the only way to receive mail in such countries. Another use case is when the mail box at your doorstep is not very secure, you rent a po box in the post office and mail is delivered to that po box instead of your address.

Neither Soros nor especially Bloomberg are or especially fund the left; Bloomberg is center-right, Soros is, frankly incoherent; while, yes right-wing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories focus on his funding of organizations to the left of the Republican platform, among the organizations he funds are ones like Cru, the organization known as “Campus Crusade for Christ” before its recent rebrand.

This is a half truth sure you can do that but if you ever want to use your crypto for anything legitimate you need to go through the whole KYC bullshit. That means there are now countless crypto exchanges with a copy of my passport, and they seem to get hacked a lot. I only had to do KYC once to get and use my credit card.

This is the logical conclusion of our contemporary understanding of privilege. Anything a person does (or does not) accomplish can be directly attributed to the privilege he or she had (or lacked). High SAT scores means the person was privileged enough to afford tutoring, or privileged enough to live in a two-parent household, or privileged enough to be born without any major disability, etc.

Once you accept that as your worldview you accept merit is meaningless. What separates Ramanujan and Newton from the average college dropout are extraneous factors. Any difference in outcomes is societal and environmental, and must be corrected.
I'm not sure that's currently the case, what with the move to long term remote work. Do you have data showing workers demanding less pay after moving to cheaper areas while retaining the same position in the same organization?

> With crypto, you can create a wallet in seconds and immediately start accepting payment.

I think this demonstrates the massive gap between crypto people and the general public. If you already have all of the crypto stuff set up, secured, understood, in the right cryptocurrency, and ready to go then it can be a quick transaction (after waiting for the transaction to clear).

But for the average person, the overhead of diving into the cryptocurrency world is far more than "in seconds". It also comes with a lot of fees and issues at every step along the way. Sending BTC or ETH to someone is actually a very expensive endeavor right now, often more than just the $5/month Patreon tiers. And then there are transaction fees along the way to buy into crypto, and the recipient has to cash out the crypto, pay exchange fees, and deal with taxes.

In the theoretical all-crypto world where everyone agrees to use some future perfectly efficient, decentralized blockchain, this might make sense. In the real world, it doesn't hold up at all.
