> Is this argument here just that it's memory safe and has static typing? What am I missing?

I think the argument is that it provides stronger static typing than any of those languages, with only Rust being close out of the other languages that you list. This allows you to encode business logic (incl. security logic) invariants into the type system and catch a lot more errors/bugs at compile time.

The step up from Java to Rust/Haskell in terms of static typing capabilities is at least as big as the step up from python to Java.

Cars are very expensive, not because of the car in themselves, but the infrastructure and land use policies required to make them convenient. Think of parking lots and roads.

A more compact society would simply be less costly to maintain, and you can use public transit to scale transportation.

Housing is only very expensive because of land use policies and we don't build enough of them. Once we have a more liberal land use policies, then maybe labor costs will start to matter.

There are a large number of bills in US state legislatures aimed at suppressing honest and uncensored discussion of the Tulsa race massacre.

In America, we should discuss and debate and try to incrementally learn from our experiences. And we do, a lot of the time. But not always.
Redux is far from the suggestion, and imho unless you can greatly benefit from the actions boilerplate its overhead is not worth it.

As others mentioned useImmer is a more bulletproof solution then assuming your state can always be modeled by a single layer Object though.
You can talk about the Tulsa race massacre. You can make TV shows depicting it. Forces may have conspired to keep it from the forefront of the American consciousness, but nobody was going around burning the books or throwing people in jail for bringing it up.
> I would compare Tiananmen Square with the Tulsa race massacre. How many Americans don't know about it?

Since HBO's Watchmen, I've heard and read about the Tulsa race massacre quite a bit. It's frequently mentioned in the media now.

I was shocked that this was almost totally unknown and unspoken about prior to the show, but I guarantee you that it won't remain that way.

That's the difference with Tiananmen.

> Everyone keeps saying how free they are and how great their country is yet you can't even drink an alcoholic beverage on the street without getting arrested. You go to a town festival and the people who want to drink are enclosed in a small area like cattle.

Public space alcohol consumption is one of the weirdest metrics I’ve seen to gauge freedom.

But for what it’s worth, laws regarding public alcohol consumption are a local thing. There are plenty of places in the United States where public alcohol consumption isn’t a crime. And of course, you’re free to drink privately.

But freedom doesn’t mean anarchy. If you want to nit pick individual restrictions on non-speech activities in public spaces then you can find something to complain about every country.

Ask HN: Are deferred comp plans a scam?
Formerly I worked for a company that offered a 401(k) retirement plan for everyone at every pay level. They did this by having a "safe harbor" plan (https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-sponsor/401k-plan-overview).

Current company offers standard 401(k) and the lower earners contribute little to the retirement plan. As a result the higher earners are not permitted to participate. We are offered only a deferred comp plan, which is inferior in every way: deferred comp is held by the company, is subject to bankruptcy proceedings, is difficult to access, and has terrible investment options.

The company is pushing high earners to participate in this like it's the best thing since sliced bread. The more they push, the more I wonder: is this a scam? Why not just offer a decent 401(k) like other companies do? It seems like they would vastly prefer to hold on to our earnings as company assets so that if they have financial trouble in the future, we are standing in the back of the collections line trying to get our deferred comp paid out.
Sanders does not have recurring annual income of $1M+. It was for a couple years due to selling a book at the height of his popularity. Having $1M+ in reliable, recurring income would allow a “multi millionaire” to have influence.

Certainly his position as US Senator and accompanying benefits is significant, but I was just commenting that being a “multi millionaire” is not indicative of much sway assuming multi millionaire also means having a few million in total net worth at retirement age.

Anyway, my point is, I would not qualify him as “elite” in the sense of being able to affect federal policy just by his regular income / net worth if he was not already a US senator. He would get outbid by many others with deeper pockets vying for political influence.
Since this 'Drata' thing is intended to keep employees/contractor computers in check with policy requirements, runs as (equivalent of) root, and auto-updates, I assume it must be:

* completely open source

* have gone through security audits with public reports, and a favorable outcome

* have reproducable and verifiable builds, and those are the only ones distributed, and the end user can easily verify that their binary copy is an official build?

Right?

Because if not, aren't you just adding another attack vector onto all your employee/contractor laptops when you use 'Drata' to check a policy box on your SOC2 application?

Web 3 is a marketing term by some people who have built a system that is still at least 3 years, if not perhaps 10 or more years, from being anything remotely resembling "web" scale, where several billion non-technical people can just push a button on some website and "be" on the Web 3.0, which mostly just works. It's a cynical play to position themselves as the Next Inevitability simply by grabbing the next number before anyone else and planting themselves down in your mind as being The Next Number, because 3 inevitably follows 2. They'd like to borrow that inevitability in your mind.

It won't work. Web 2 doesn't have enough hype (that cycle cycled a long time ago) for anyone to get too excited about updates on the term. But it may establish itself enough as "3" that the net effect in the end is to kill the Web (Number) naming scheme. That'll be the biggest thing it accomplishes.

Marketing can do a lot but it can't literally just name things into existence like this.

This comment is strictly about the terminology. The tech is what it is, but at the moment, I don't even see what I'd call a prototype of any "Web 3.0" deserving of the name. It is still at best in the benchtesting phase. I couldn't explain anything currently called Web 3.0 to my non-computer-technical but generally-computing-savvy father, let alone the general public, and most of what I've tried out of the "Web 3.0" straight-up didn't work when I tried it.

All best wishes to people working on this and I don't mean this to be a discouragement per se (unless you are working on this and do mistakenly believe you're on the verge of breakout... sorry, you're a long ways from that, I'm just the messenger here), there's interesting things going on and a lot of silly things going on, just like you'd expect from the very early bench-test phase, but that's where you are. You're not in a position to be claiming to be an inevitability.

"Web 3.0" isn't. The more likely "Web 3.0" is, sad to say, the Metaverse, if companies can work out some way of carrying over the "linking" concept and sharing space in there. That, to be honest, isn't very likely either, but it's comparable in probability to any of these "web 3.0" technologies actually making it to web scale, i.e., both very low. (In the Metaverse's case, the reality is that it'll be at least a decade at a minimum before you can just "decide" to be something and find that it carries over everywhere. Look at the direction the increasingly sharded streaming space is to get a clue about what the reality will look like.)
Is like to see what that case is? Because nothing about the Great Leap I’ve read compares to chattel slavery or the 40% losses of life in the transatlantic slave trade.
>about a people of literal billions.

I think that so far there, billion is singular since the population of China is only about 1.5 billion. The population growth rate is also in decline and has been for a while.

One and a half billion is still a big number though.

This comparison is risible. First of all, you actually do have to commit a crime to go to prison, in the vast majority of cases. Second, the details of your trial (and appeal) are public. The "mass incarceration" meme has been too successful for it's own good, so successful that people seem earnestly to believe that most prisoners are innocent or there for spurious reasons, but it's simply not the case. The median state prisoner in the U.S. is a violent offender with a long rap sheet.
I wish humanity would channel its destructiveness to target invasive species. Use propaganda to push target species as socially accepted table fare and see what happens.
China poses a significant threat on basic human freedoms of all people. We need to aggressively fight back against any and all influences that are Chinese in origin.

Don't do business with Chinese companies, or companies that are even affiliated with Chinese companies. Don't accept funding with ties to China. Etc etc.

And more importantly, we need programs for Chinese citizens that allow them to immigrate and live in Western countries provided they renounce their Chinese citizenship. The people aren't at fault here, naturally, it's the system that is corrupt and is using the population to further its own corrupt ideology.
Discussing politics is always getting into argument territory and always best avoided on social occasions, especially if you do not know the opinions of the people around you.

For instance, I (in Europe) don't "lightly suggest" things in the US are difficult when it comes to guns/Trump/abortion/etc to American colleagues because these are sensitive political topics and nothing good can come out of that. You mentioned it was in South America so maybe another example would be to mention drug cartels and Pablo Escobar to Colombian colleagues.

I can imagine your Chinese colleagues thinking "here we go again..." and politely stirring the conversation to another topic.
If someone has control of the application, aren't all bets off at that point?

At some point, your application has to decrypt the data to work with it. The person with control of the application would exfiltrate data that way.
> The Chinese people is not some herd of sheep without mental faculties.

Can Chinese people freely communicate with each other? The ability to do so is critical for unimpaired mental faculties of the collective.
Yup.. Apple needs to grow somewhere. Cars? Maybe in terms of software.. The real margin currently is in cloud hosting. Even more than in appstore fees.

They will offer a fast energy efficient public cloud. First the xcode cloud, then their own hosting, and later it'll become public
The point, with a TON of these certifications/auditing/whatever, is usually "Are you aware of risk X/Y/Z and are you either mitigating it or accepting it?" In this case, you are now aware that all outbound traffic is allowed, and you are accepting that risk as a risk of doing business with that payment processor.

It is okay to have a feature (NOT necessarily this feature) that translates other conventions to a single consistent convention; for example a language may convert a name "foo_bar" into "fooBar" when used in C bindings, preferably with an escape hatch. However case-agnostic languages do not try to do that, they give zero indication for what convention to use (cf. function names in PHP, which is a horrible mess). No single convention is better than others, but a single consistent convention does matter.
Devils advocate: If these are people that work around sick people all the time, couldn't many of them have already contracted and defeated Covid before the vaccines were available? Doesn't that offer a decent level of immunity (something close to what the vaccine offers)? And don't those people already have a good understanding of how Covid affects them individually? It's hard to argue such people need vaccines or else they don't "believe in medical science".
I'm a French immigrant in China.

I think you're building a fake dichotomy: as a politician in France once said, borders are the only hope we have to escape if we dont like what we have. It's fine to have many models and important we can move in between them. I agree China cares about the result now but it's probably temporary: once the middle class is proportionally more important, priorities will shift, they already have somewhat. Xi Jinping announcing in glorious pomp a new stock exchange in Beijing is, for all the flaws of the communists, sort of different from what Mao would have done.

Tiananmen is not something the Chinese want to forget, but that the communists want to hide, it's a bit different. But, since there's always balance in everything, rather than throw themselves wave after wave on their bullets, they make the most of what they can get now and bide their time. If that can give you some sense of relief, I never met a pro communist Chinese, never one, who would defend the party: they only ever say stuff like "bah, we had an emperor before, it's the same with another name", hardly a support of the ideology you'll agree lol.

In America your Tiananmen are the civilian deaths and war crimes in Afghanistan, and see, you forgot about them and prefered to talk about someth you reformed already, like a Chinese would say of nobility and servitude under the empire. Face your demons, if you dare :)
It is also in part due to the explicit tie in of the dealership system by which we buy cars. Dealerships can't go away because they have baked the law around them. Automotive manufacturers are forbidden from building their own stores. Though this is a state by state issue, and Tesla is the manufacturer skirting this rule.
> If you want to ship me a dedicated laptop for your engagement, I would be happy to install whatever you want on it."

That's what Statnett in Norway did when I did some work for them a year ago (Lenovo X1 Carbon). The difference being that installing anything on it was pretty much impossible. All traffic went through the Statnett VPN. It's the most security conscious company I have had any experience of.

But I was also able to use my own laptop by installing the Citrix client and that was much better. I had never used Citrix before and was pleasantly surprised at how fast it was.
Okay so a more apt comparison would be 30 years after the Tulsa race massacre in America to see if was easier to talk about it

Or 100 years after the Tianamen Square massacre in China to see if its easier to talk about it then

great. very productive.
They need to send you a machine if they want you on some kind of special network or to have their monitoring tools or whatever on it. That's it. Period.
I don't think anyone is disputing that technology makes things easier.

And I've frequently commented that early career me would be incredibly frustrated by the difficulty of accessing information about just about anything were I to be transported back in time.

But it's also the case that we were actually able to travel, communicate, and learn about things in 1990. Yes, it was generally higher friction and relied more on physical artifacts like maps and printed photos but we were able to manage quite well.

Microsoft/GitHub OAuth Implementation Vulnerabilities to Redirection Attacks
This isn't a solved problem.

The React ecosystem has spent the last few years trying a model where the application layer separated from the view layer with a pure functional state management solution called Redux. The overwhelming response? People didn't like it.

Decoupling systems is a trade-off. Pull your network requests out of your components and you have two bits of code that are easier to test. Indirectly, the component is still going to call that code, and it's up to you to manage the complexity of that indirection.

Not every application needs separation of concerns, and in many, colocation of concerns reduces the cognitive burden, because you can reason about components in isolation. To me, that's a more powerful guarantee than a function being strictly pure.

"Probably 99.99% of people fleeing the above-mentioned communist countries"

As far as Czechoslovakia goes, the success rate was WAY beyond 1:10000, that is why people still tried.

About 400 people were killed on our militarized border with West Germany and Austria. The # of people who succeeded was actually over 10 thousand, especially in the earliest phase (1948-51), when the security of the border was far from perfect.

You could also escape in less dramatic fashion, for example by going to Yugoslavia (a non-aligned country) for a vacation and defecting.

Of course, whoever was caught and their families would face serious repercussions. In the Stalinist era, Gulag, after it, less pronounced bullying (loss of jobs, forbidden from higher education, forcibly moved to rural regions).
It’s not the case in any other German state. They’re doing the worst.

Everybody at the party was fully vaccinated. It takes a couple of weeks for hospital arrivals to track infections, so even if omicron was as bad as delta, you wouldn't expect significant numbers for a week or two. Hopefully, you're right.
It's a very weird opinion. In this way : good writers loose their time by writing good books while they would better write good documentations and advertisements for tech products, good political leader would better lead tech companies instead of taking care of the people every day life, and so on. I personally think the world would be far better if everybody was able to deploy such skills and talent in everyday life instead of giving all their full potential to private companies.
One "feature" of democracy is that it doesn't matter whether people speak out against something. You just need 51% of people to agree with you, which can come from manufactured consent, and you can accomplish all the evil deeds you want all the same. If you try to do anything thar actually threatens the government's operations, you're treasonous and can be punished accordingly.
Absolutely yes. I'm happier because my bathroom has two sinks so my wife and I can get ready for work at the same time. I'm happier because my house has more than one toilet so that I don't have to wait because someone is sitting on the only available toilet. I'm happier because my car has air conditioning. I'll absolutely be happier if an airbag saves my life, and infinitely happier than that if one saves my wife's life or my kid's life.

Yes. Technology and wealth makes our lives better and makes us happier. Yes.
Very bad, you should take a shower after the bath, not before, so when you're out, you're clean.
That is true, but somehow elides the reality that even if interest rates were zero, you would still end up having to "divert" 5.8 years of median salary to own a median house in 2021, which has significant implications for lots of other aspects of life, particularly but not limited to retirement.
