It's probably simpler than that: it's simply not energy-efficient to keep producing an enzyme throughout its life for a sugar that's rare-to-non-existent in an organism's diet for most of that life. Because mammals don't have any means of obtaining milk once they separate from their mother, lactose intolerance for their lifetime after weaning is almost universal among mammals. Over millions of years, the slight energy efficiency win of turning off that enzyme's production post-weaning probably won out.

Humans are odd in that we harvest milk for consumption at all beyond our own mother's, which is probably why we're the only species with a notable population with the genetic mutation that allows some of us to digest it – there's no competitive advantage to that mutation in most other mammals, because where would they even obtain milk?

Of which none of your examples are in any way applicable to the case of google violating the Java copyright.

The Java Specification gives terms and conditions for usage which is what the lawsuit was about and not some laundry list of things which annoys a random internet person. In fact, not annoying your users isn’t even mentioned once in the conditions to call an implementation “Java” strangely enough.

Or I’m completely wrong and oracle doesn’t spend enough on their legal team.

Which a large reason why people use banks. Even if someone breaks into the bank and steals the exact bills you deposited, you don't lose any money. Crypto is closer to cash in that it's anonymous but not private, with the advantage being you can send money wherever you want in the world without mailing an envelope of cash. But like cash if you send it to the wrong place, or someone finds it, it's gone. The decentralization is great because it means no single entity can say "That's it, you can't send money to XYZ anymore" but the usecase is still smaller than cash (maybe not forever), or a bank account (probably forever).
While you are correct, this is the logic that is used to guilt-slash-shame folks who do not want to get involved into getting involved. It is one of the many sources of intense polarization that we suffer from today, and it forces people to take uninformed stances on things that makes them little more than mindless footsoldiers for causes that need a nuanced touch.

They can use such megaphone to shove down working class people's throats a marketing campaign and a stock promotion for a service they'll never use or need. Not to mention subsidies.

Same identical thing happened with Tesla
only a little bit, older prefixes like in 206-xxx and 360-xxx that are assigned to legacy copper POTS ILEC carriers (like Centurylink for big parts of the seattle area, or Ziply for the suburbs) are more likely to be fixed landline phones and not ported out somewhere else.

prefixes that are assigned to a carrier like tmobile or that were a metropcs prefix before its full integration into tmobile are highly likely to be cellphones, though people can of course port away their number to a voip service or something, but more often they would just move to verizon or att.
Thanks for your picture, I was way more outraged about this before seeing it. Seems relatively easy and safe to remove the top part of a bridge that is unused, and was built in 1927. I was imagining a stone bridge built in the 1600s that was in daily use.

I'm sympathetic to the skepticism overdose, but ultimately this is a fallacious appeal to authority. GP makes good points. Even the Google/Verily glucose contact lens didn't work out and this is an order of magnitude more complicated.

Do we really believe that the deal breaker for Google Glass was just that it made you look like a dork? Because that is the only problem the contact lens seems to solve, and it introduces a whole host of new problems. I'm not sure I feel great about putting a battery straight into my eyeball after seeing what they can do to cars and laptops when they fail.

async and embedded terminal were the original features neovim was created to realize; later, lua as the first class plugin language came in.

Underlying it all, though, was that vim has a bus factor of 1: Bram. Bram is the sole chokepoint through which all change flows, and thus holds back a lot of community dev. Neovim early on pursued a working model allowing for a larger community of interested devs to contribute, and it's paid off: the originator of neovim has moved on and a new steward has taken over smoothly, and they have around 30 core contributors.

So your anger at Neovim is misplaced. They created a modern vim open to many devs, and incidentally rekindled active work on vim, which had been stagnant before. You should be thanking them, even if you don't switch. You have async and terminals in vim because of them.

I find that a funny description because I've worked with many many different full time project managers who always took the view that putting data in Jira or equivalents and pulling reports before the project meetings were entirely a technician's job.
I wonder if something like the strategy used for Certificate Transparency could work here? Take a legacy system, attach authentication on the side, propagate that data in a manner that allows looking it up, use it as a strong signal for "this is actually authentic", and then slowly ratchet that up until people feel comfortable saying that calls without it can go straight to voicemail without ringing.

I don't think anybody's saying that employees were wronged by options backdating. It's fine for companies to award options to different employees at a uniform strike price out of a concern for fairness. In broad terms, companies can compensate their employees mostly however they like.

But whatever compensation a company awards, they have to account for it and in some cases truthfully disclose it. It matters when the employee gains the ability to exercise the option; awarding an at-the-money option isn't the same as an in-the-money option (and wasn't in those days).

Lots of companies were doing this; in Apple's case, they falsified the minutes of their Board of Directors to invent a special meeting so they could pretend they had compensated Steve Jobs (and others) differently. (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2006/dec/30/citynews.ne...)
It gets fuzzy when third parties are involved. For example, looking at security camera footage seems to require a warrant, but no warrant is generally required if the search is consensual (and most people aren't against sharing video camera footage to aid an investigation of a serious crime as long as it is practical).

This whole system really highlights a flaw in using a 200 year old document as the basis of our legal system. Pervasive surveillance in the form of video cameras, photographs, audio, and now Google search requests wasn't really a thing at the time. I suspect with the present conditions, the authors of the 4th amendment would have put in an even stronger requirement for warrants regarding data from third parties and maybe even searches generally given how non-consensual consensual searches often feel to everyday citizens. Unfortunately, I think textualism is more in vogue with the current SCOTUS.
I suppose you could add a few to this list:
Koka has formalised side-effects, and thanks to that can do in-place mutation after static analysis, similar to HVM. It also uses static analysis to manage memory with elided reference counting.
Lastly, koka has managed to utilise static typing with dynamic binding, contrast with cell-lang which avoids dynamic binding (which has it's use cases).
https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/book.html#sec-effect-ty...

Flix does something similar to cell, though the typing is worked out better as lattice types ensure that there is an unambiguous top and bottom type. Addditionally where cell cannot compute dependent values, Flix can as it uses constraint modelling rather than reactive computation ie. the algo computing the rules is formally worked out to cover the edge cases.
https://flix.dev/principles/

Maude handles subtyping and typechecking of said subtypes through equational and rewrite logic. It has the concept of purely functional modules as well as impure (system) modules, but adds to that the math theories that represent the modules, so you get a lot of formal verification techniques at your disposal while programming.

Composita covers the idea of removing pointers, and restricting components so you can use concurrency in anger (and managed memory without GC at the component level)

Kali makes a good job of migrating processes - where cell restricts the ability to do closures due to the extended value set, kali can walk the call tree to migrate all linked state.

I think cell looks interesting, but there seem to be restrictions here to simplify/avoid some of the harder problems. That in itself is not a bad thing, but it's worth noting given that some of these problems have been tackled individually above.

According to comparative advantage most developing countries should just export raw resources and import everything else like food.

After all, the west has all the absolute advantages: rule of law, educated workforce, public infrastructure, financial capital, fertile soil, intellectual property.

No one should ever produce something in a developing economy. Just import all finished goods from the usual industrial nations until e.g. Greece is bankrupt from buying German made products. Suddenly the Germans introduce austerity policies and overall reduce the quality of life in Greece.

Aside: If there's anybody on here who can get me in touch with somebody who works with the software driving Logtitech's Mevo camera products I'd really love to talk to them.

I've run into a bug that continues to exist in the most recent version of the iOS app for these cameras that I have to work around using Mitmproxy. The app won't "go live" because whatever it's doing to detect an "Internet connection" is failing on a network I use. Adding Mitmproxy to the mix, paradoxically, solves the problem.

I'd love to pull packet traces, run debug builds of the app, etc, to help fix the problem. I can't be the only one having the problem. The devices suit my purposes well but I hate having to stick one more moving part into the mix just to get them to work.
