> No, the use-case is having an archive of documents conforming to different schemas. Or another use-case: schema evolves during the system's lifetime and you don't want to / can't upgrade old data to new schemas.

Right, I talked about that case - AFAICS the schema is acting as a basic version tag (which is worth having, but can be done much more simply).

> And yes, I even mix and match different schemas in the same document: pre-parsed information is stored in "my" elements, whereas the original data source is stored as extension in the XML, in its own namespace etc. So when the need arises for further processing/parsing, everything's already there in the document, with _the_ definitive source of truth. (Uninterpreted raw data)

Embedding the original document sounds useful, but namespaces still seem vastly overengineered for that case - you'd presumably have a standard, well-defined place for the original document to go, so anything parsing/using your document knows about it and can just skip that node. I guess you get a little bit of value from being able to write xpaths that will never accidentally hit a node in the embedded document, but again that's something I've never seen actually be a problem in real life. Namespacing seems to be built to support the idea that you'd arbitrarily interleave nodes from multiple schemata, and that still seems like a solution in search of a problem.

> That way is very easy: no PLs support (the XSD equivalent of) foreign keys, so that's "solved". Structs and inheritance are directly expressible, and even sum types from the languages that support it.

Oh? Can you point me at a good implementation for Haskell or especially Scala? (TBH I think if we're accepting that the PL is the source of truth for what the constraints are then we don't gain much from encoding more of them into schema versus just checking them after parsing, but every little helps).
I don't think this is one guy stealing one box from a huge boxcar or container. It's multiple packages stolen at once. It would be too much work to scatter all that trash along the tracks, if it were many onesy-twosy thefts.

"For weapons purposes EMP producing sources other than nuclear detonations have been successfully developed. Several nations, with United States at the forefront, are reported to have developed non-nuclear bombs capable of generating EMPs. Electromagnetic bombs (E-bombs) are specialized, non-nuclear tools designed to destroy information systems. These devices are primarily intended for battlefield application..."

In my example the number need not be directly overhead either. It could be drawn in the middle of a very long room where you and the other person are at opposite ends. You're both looking at it at an angle and both still seeing different numbers, although in a very skewed perspective - I don't know how flat earthers account for perspective and projection in their skydome or whatever.

It depends on the motives and not the actions.

"Boycott Israel because of their treatment of Palestinians." A perfectly acceptable political statement.

"Boycott Israel because they are a bunch of greedy Jews." An obviously anti-Semitic statement.

The problem is that people who believe the latter will often say the former. This causes opponents of the latter to doubt the authenticity of people who say the former. Some people who oppose the former might also accuse people of the latter to discredit them. It becomes can quickly become confusing, but it should be clear that a boycott can clearly have both appropriate and inappropriate motivations.
I think its 5-10 years before complete automation. We are seeing more partial automation, such as a deep fryer that will automatically lower/raise the fryer basket, and being able to order without needing waitstaff to take the order.

The main part holding it back now is not the capital cost of the equipment, its the NRE (non-recurring engineering) costs in making all of the equipment operate together as there is not a standard platform to make various pieces of equipment easy to plug together.

I understand the argument but I don't think that's enough – even on a recent Intel laptop CPU, you'll be hearing the fans if you have more than one of Outlook, Teams, etc. active or any enterprise security software even if most of the data is being stored on the cloud. Something like iOS or ChromeOS is a lot closer to delivering on that idea in my experience.
He was replying to a comment about the "Acceptable Ads" policy so he was clearly talking about uBlock, not uBlock Origin.

I think the story of how uBlock was transfered and then managed in a way that was not what you wished is pretty well known, and I think most people know that you forked back the project to restore that trust, and they appreciate the work you're doing for the community. At least I know I do, so let me take this opportunity to say thank you.
> Jones’s opponents included three other major candidates, two of whom were Black. In the end, the only white candidate in the race, Lyda Crewson, won with just 32 percent of the vote. Far from an aberration in the city’s history, the election continued a trend where the city rarely elects a mayor who reflects the electorate, ideologically or demographically.

The article doesn't bother to say - how did Lyda Crewson differ from the other candidates (and the electorate) ideologically? It only describes how she differs "demographically".
(Simplistically) Business people think about money, gamers and ground level game developers think about games. The "mobile revolution" as told by C-level executives was about the former, and it's been a screaming success.

Mobile games were never going to replace more traditional games because it's a totally different market, but companies don't really care about that anyway - they might not have /understood/ that mobile games were never going to supplant traditional console and PC gaming, but they didn't need to because they made fistfuls of cash anyway.

That $3.2 billion would be enough to pay for 23,000 Americans' college education. Is that more valuable than giving weapons to Israel? Of course it is. Even a single college education is a better use of the money.

The rhetorical tactic of citing some much larger number to justify a misuse of funds is meant to obfuscate and confuse, and it's not a good faith argument. It's like a mayor saying "yes, this program is wasteful and corrupt, but look at how big our military spending is! Why aren't you talking about that?!". Or "Yes, I may have created a made up job for my brother, but look at the trillions we spent in Afghanistan! Why aren't you talking about that?!"

We should not be falling for that type of rhetoric when calling out government waste and abuse.

There is no reason that the U.S. should be sending any aid to Israel (or, for that matter, Egypt), it's not a poor country, there are many more countries deserving of the aid, and the aid is being used to increase the militarization of a region that has already had too much military conflict.
I worked at Apple when Steve Jobs was still there and it definitely sounds odd.

I had never heard of project-based profit sharing or being fired and named/shamed for non-delivery. I had personally seen coding mistakes cost tens of millions in lost revenue and the developers were still there and many got promoted.

Surely if he was promised $10 million and Apple didn't pay up there would be grounds for a lawsuit. Especially since that stock would be worth so much more today.

While i'm not in favor of firing folks (especially if they do have institutional, domain knowledge)...i firmly believe that orgs will endeavor to force or influence or sneakily trick folks who have domain knowledge into codifying such knowledge which gets input into digital processes which will - also think - get codified by low code tools. As a technologist i like the automation part, but as sympathetic human, i hate that humans will be impacted. By impacted of course i mean that crappy orgs won;t try to find more relevant roles for these impacted humans, they'll resort to crappy things likke layoffs. (Separately, i do believe very much in universal basic income...and in fact having something like UBI in place keeps both my tech brain and human brain happy in a sort of win-win scenario where we get more aujtomation, but humans are taken care of.)

> Myth 2: Social media makes people hateful
> No, research suggests that online hate reflects offline frustrations that make them hateful both online & offline.

That's just a sleight of hand. Sure, people may have been hateful before, but social media amplifies that hate exponentially.

Social media thrives on outrage, being addictive, and uses algorithmic ranking to feed it as much as possible.

This is great! Speaking of organic chemistry breakthroughs, what would interest me is a way to efficiently turn methane into more interesting hydrocarbons. There is lots of methane on Titan and perhaps Mars that would be great feedstock for all sorts of petrochemical processes if only we could easily turn it into naphtha and paraffins, etc. I guess there's Fischer-Tropsch, as you only need H2 and CO for that, but it is woefully inefficient.

How about converting CO2 to value-added hydrocarbons? This article seems to say it's possible. Imagine that, using hydrocarbons as a storage battery for electricity used to power the reaction:

Well, everyone is paying upfront. It's competition for fab time, just in advance. Intel paying means AMD won't be able get the time Intel bought in the future.

Of course, AMD won't have zero capacity - even Intel doesn't want that - but I doubt AMD paid for all the time they'll ever need. For one thing this is a seller's market, if AMD had more chips people would buy. Also, AMD has a well-publicized chip shortage to the point they contracted with GlobalFoundries again (for the less important chips) about a month ago.

If someone is let out on bail, and commits another crime, then their bail should be posted higher. A third crime would result in an even higher bail. The constitution only prohibits "excessive" bail. If someone continued to commit crime while out on bail, then clearly the original bail was insufficient to act as a deterrent.

Right, and legal departments kind of exist to avoid that sort of ridiculous argument fucking over their employers.

I don't endorse the argument -logically- at all, but if it's "legal being (justifiably) paranoid" then while as I said preparing for that not being it is still worthwhile, the extent to which they'll chase down workarounds may have limits nonetheless.

I didn’t connect it to WiFi (even after unlocking) primarily because I worry about it being another data collection tool (WiFi, bt) and it has a camera/mic on it.

Fun fact about CAN-SPAM: your recourse is supposed to be reporting them to your ISP.

Except that Comcast/Xfinity itself is violating the CAN-SPAM act. I constantly get product offers and other junk from them, despite being clearly marked as "unsubscribed from all" when I click the unsubscribe link.

They are also a local monopoly and I have no affordable alternative for "basic broadband".

There does not seem to be any facility to report this to any regulatory agency of the US government or my state government.
i agree, if you buy something, you buy it for how it is, now sometimes we may want to update for our benefit but other times maybe not, maybe updating would cause more harm than help. therefore we should have to consent to updates, i 100% agree with this and it’s not even that much code to add a “is it cool if we update?” alert.

You admit as much in your last paragraph. That is a perfectly reasonable political opinion to have and I'm not even arguing against it here. I am arguing against the hypocrisy of taking that political opinion and trying to make it more attractive by dishonestly claiming it is motivated by fighting waste, corruption, and the floundering of the US.
