Another disadvantage is lack of any king of relocation hardware. If you don't have it, it means you are tied to a particular memory layout without run-time re-linking. 6809 has it through position independence. 8088 has it with segment registers (at least for .COM files and small memory model .EXE files. Large model files are re-linked during loading).

CP/M's solution to this is to start the code at near-zero (0x100). This way forces the OS, drivers and hardware out of the way and permits binaries from one system to at least possibly run on another.

It's irredeemable and the fact that there's currently no alternative is no reason not to get rid of it. We really should just do it and let the chips fall where they may. People will figure out a way to make money. They have to, because the alternative is to go bankrupt. Maybe they'll make less money and that's absolutely fine.
Yeah ... this dichotomy is a false one: both sides need each other. Sales needs engineering to deliver. And Engineering needs sales to have some reason to build/work on something.

Perhaps a good sales person might command the salary of 10 engineers if that sales person can bring in revenue commiserate of that salary. I read somewhere that one's salary is roughly 10% of the value one brings. So if a sales person brings in 10M in revenue common wisdom says pay them 1M. Now for engineers it is harder to value. So perhaps if it takes 10 engineers to delivery the 10M worth of revenue that sales person brought in then perhaps they're only paid 100k?

You had a lot of interesting pieces and then diluted the impact of your statement by tying in "defunding the police" which is an overly fraught almost meaningless phrase at this point since it means almost something completely different to every person who hears it - which loses all its value.

I was more talking about this particular case, where it seems it was judged that Ford didn't make a new product out of imported parts, but importing a finished vehicle as one thing, and selling it as another after minor modification.

It is a more normal way around these sorts of tariffs to import a vehicle as a kit of parts (CKD / "Complete knocked down"), and perform some level of final assembly in the end country. The sort of rules you talk about apply then, you pay the car parts import rate on the kit, not the (presumably higher) rate for a complete car[1].

Fundamentally this problem cannot be solved at the compile-time level because, well, code is dealing with the values which are only known during code execution runtime. So I don't think compiler can do much here other than providing you with a hint that you may rewrite your expression but only to reduce the risk of a potential error, e.g. `if (len + 2 + size > PAGE_SIZE)` still still remains feasible to unsigned integer overflow and to handle the problem fully one must either:

1. Write a lot of convoluted if..else logic such as https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT30-C.+Ensur... and https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT32-C.+Ensur...

2. Or use compiler built-in intrinsics, e.g. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Integer-Overflow-Builtins...

"Convict and a robber" seems like the appropriate description to me.

They could also be convicted of any number of things, that aren't robbery.

By saying convicted robber, you're assigning more certainty to your claim that they're a robber than there is. You're trying to argue that they're a robber when you're saying somebody is a robber and they haven't been convicted of robbery. Saying that they're a convicted robber pretends that it's already been proven beyond reasonable doubt, which it hasn't
I would argue that if those things are unsafe, the term unsafe has no useful meaning, i.e. life is unsafe.

peers to promote cessation of alcohol use
and abstinence from alcohol

...

- Prioritise alcohol control in national
agendas for health and support policy
coherence between health and other
sectors"

etc.

That's where it gets a bit complex. There are both passwords and phrases, but usually for different purposes:

Traditional passwords are used sometimes to encrypt the secret bytes (private key) similar to how an SSH key might be encrypted and unlocked. In this usage the actual bytes are encrypted and stored somewhere (like on disk) and if you lose that file or the password you used to encrypt it, you therefore lose the private key and can no longer sign messages or "spend" the coins. This is how Bitcoin functioned in the early years.

Some people instead use what originally were called "brain wallets" and are mnemonic lists of words that then get used through a key derivation function (KDF) to turn those words into the secret bytes. In this kind of setup you don't have the secret bytes stored anywhere but rather you need to remember the phrase (list of words) which is in turn used to generate the secret bytes deterministically.
Saying something measured and reasonable doesn’t get anyone talking at all. Creating a contentious debate gets you press.

In reality, the single issue should have been around qualified immunity. Get rid of that and the ducks will fall into line.
Makes sense. Thanks for this context.
I think it is a cultural thing. At first the MBA's bring prosperity by increasing revenues, but eventually the revenues hit the limit, and after that the job of the MBA is not to grow the business, but to optimize the profits. Optimizing profits means making everyone maximally unhappy. If your MBA is not doing that, it just means your business has not reached its limits yet, but eventually it will happen. That in India fewer people deride MBAs might just mean that India is still growing.

Since this is a predominantly technical forum, it is more popular to suggest there might be technological ways to increase revenues or for Google to simply be happy with the profits they make.

Some of these departments have used these "profits" for BBQs for the police, or flat screen TVs, or for personal vehicles for officers.

And in some of the cases where such "misuse" of funds has been taken to court, oftentimes the court has ruled that the PD has the perfect right to do so.

Not sure how this is a societal profit.

I've been tinkering with something similar too. This is for timing checklists not individual items—so typically multiple steps that repeat from time to time: https://tusklist.com
At least for CE it is not so easy, the "whole product" has to meet the requirements. Using an certified chip / module lowers the risk of failing, but you have to pay for the measurements and certification anyway. (Which here, as I heard, can be about 6 months engineering salary.)

(For crowdfunding you need a good campaign and probably some ads / self-promoting which also could be expensive.)
In the US MBAs are taught to value short-termism, so they'll come in, boost a business in the short term (often getting bonuses in doing so) even if it sacrifices long term viability (e.g. loss customer loyalty/repeat business). Then they'll get a golden parachute on the way out as the business starts to crumble.

So when people say "MBA have taken over" they're saying that the business is focused on short term over long term, and is in a downward spiral. It is the anti-Costco philosophy of doing business, and is extremely prevalent.

For example, the old now unfashionable idea was that Customer Retention occurred by treating existing customers well and acting in good faith, this was a long term strategy. The new fashionable idea is just to make it incredibly difficult to quit, it boosts short term retention but makes it so customer re-acquisition is almost impossible (since customers remember how hard quitting was).
Which is why I defined bad. Meth addicts experience utter bliss and euphoria while high. I've had lots of great experiences drunk or while drinking. I've also thoroughly enjoyed utterly gorging myself on unhealthy or excessive amounts of food. I've driven too fast, stayed up too late, and generally done lots of things that are bad for me because they felt good or lead to some type of, at least in that moment, good experience.

It doenst mean those things were not bad for me. It's about being able to admit that those things were bad for my health regardless of if I decided the benefit outweighed the cost. Many people thing the cost of consuming alcohol is lower than it is and that the benefits are far greater than they are. I've had plenty of incredible experiences without booze too. In hindsight there were plenty of things I would have enjoyed just as much, if not more, if I didnt think I needed alcohol to make the experiences better in some way.

Senate panel approves antitrust bill restricting big tech platforms
> Seems like any web browser by a for-profit company would immediately be in breach

A web browser cannot be in breach, because a web browser is not a legal entity capable of being a party to an agreement. The entity in breach would be the person using the browser, if they were using it in a way that was against the TOS.

BTW, that TOS is ambiguous. I see two ways it can be parsed. First,

> You may not (copy, display, distribute, download, license, modify, publish, re-post, reproduce, reuse, sell, transmit, use to create a derivative work, or (otherwise use the content of the Site for public or commercial purposes))

I.e., "otherwise use the content of the Site for public or commercial purposes" is one item in the list of prohibited things. Second,

> You may not (copy, display, distribute, download, license, modify, publish, re-post, reproduce, reuse, sell, transmit, use to create a derivative work, or otherwise use the content of the Site) (for public or commercial purposes)

I.e., "otherwise use the Site" is one of the list items, and "for public or commercial purposes" modifies the whole list?

If it is the latter it is saying you can do what you want if it is not for public or commercial purposes.

If it is the former, it is saying you may not do any of the explicitly listed things, and you can't do anything not listed if you are doing that thing for public or commercial purposes. You can only do things that are not explicitly listed and then only if they are private and non-commercial.

I'd guess they meant the latter, because under the former it is hard to see any way to use the site at all without violating the TOS. If that is the case, they should have written it as "You may not for public or commercial purposes <list of things>".

On the other hand, it would't actually be all that surprising for a big company to write a TOS that technically prohibits their users from actually using the site, so who knows?

No, I don’t think this is true. I think this is something people in adtech tell themselves to sleep better at night. There’s lots of money in ads and free stuff, but there are many companies doing quite well by having customers pay for stuff.

Netflix is worth $200B plus, more than the ad tv networks. Those networks said for years that customers won’t pay and need ads. They were wrong. And I’d also add that they wanted more. They charged for cable channels and still sold ads.

People want choices and don’t mind paying for value.

Ads are bad for people.

They don't, they clean up after the fact, and convict someone for ~50% of them. Unless it's one of their own that's responsible, then the entire country needs to riot for a week, before anyone even thinks of pressing charges.
