There are "hierarchical" schemes which attempt to clump graphs together. SBCL has a special case of trying to lay down lists sequentially.

Anything with a read barrier might also be able to see which slots are hotter, and thus prioritise copying those first; there was one paper from the 90s showing profiling helped get a better layout.
I did no such thing. You are saying that this engineer, who is obviously talented, should never again be hired in his field, because anyone who hires him will only hire him to steal this (now quite ancient) tech and not for asking him to continue to innovate or even just be a productive worker.

So do you really believe this or is this just an anti-China thing? Fun Fact: Many innovators in Silicon valley did the exact same thing, discovering something at one company, and then taking it to another where it was more fully developed. They then went on to continue to innovate completely new things. And sometimes there were lawsuits flying around about who stole which IP, yet the same workers continued to be hired by tech companies, and people didn't automatically assume that anyone who hired them subsequently was participating in IP theft.

I guarantee you that former Uber self-driving engineers are still gainfully employed, many in the field of self-driving cars, and no one is accusing their new employers of trying to steal IP from Google.

How do you justify applying this double standard?
This is analog to when we are dealing with the losing side of a war.

It is obvious that the existing Oil&Gas industry, Petro-states, Coal industries (and to an extent many in the Auto industry) will absolutely put up a fight for as long as they can and by whatever means they can _including_ shaping public opinion.

We need to have honest discussion at government level on a plan to allow these companies an off ramp out of Fossil fuels. Be it with Hydrogen markets, geo-thermal drilling, Algae cultivation, sequestration, whatever, but something that allows these companies to accelerate a financial exit instead of holding on for as long as they can until regulations eventually sunset them.

> I assume the founders don’t get anything out of this sale?

Why wouldn't they? They start by owning 100% of the company. They sell a % to investors - say, 50% for $300M, which is put into the company.

That still leaves them with 50% ownership. Selling the company - or their stake in it - for $190M will still mean they get half of that. On top of other things, like continued employment by the new owner and other enticements for them to either keep working or leave.

Disclaimer: this is armchair logic from someone who doesn't know how this works and lives half a world away.
It generalizes the notion of vectors as a continuum between scalars (0-dimensional) and volumes (n-dimensional where you chose the dimension of your space as n)

For example in a 3D space:

* 0D: scalars

* 1D: regular vectors, representing a point.

* 2D: 'rotors', representing an oriented surface. These are equivalent to quaternions, in a generalized elegant manner. We use quaternions in 3D engines to have rotations that don't have a special axis like Euler's.

* 3D: representing an oriented volume.

One I always liked was Finnair's AY, as its original name was Aero oY. OY being Finnish for Limited Company, like AG in German, or AB in Swedish.

As both Finish and Swedish are official languages in Finland that allows for the cleverly named lock company ABLOY. This stands for AB Låsfabriken Lukkotehdas OY, i.e. "Corp. Lock Factory Lock Factory Corp." in Swedish then Finnish.
Interesting that they used MIPS64 architecture. Will Microsoft continue that direction with this tech? Elsewhere I heard that this was one of their 'mistakes'.
You use unfree Linux too...for example google. What people seam to forget, under GPL you don't need to give your code back if your DON'T redistribute it.

There is a market need.

Solar panels are cheap and the market appears to be fine with unreliable power[0] if it's cheap enough.

China have just spent 50 years pulling off what is possibly the most transformative economic miracle in the history of humanity. Comparable to the industrial revolution.

Put aside the idea that they are going to co-operate with an IP system explicitly being wielded to cripple their growth. That was always unlikely. The real question here is whether history will even see them as acting immorally. The legitimacy of IP law is supposed to be that it encourages human progress, not acts as a geopolitical weapon to stop 20% of the human population from getting uppity and competing with the US army.

The problem the West has in this battle is that places with lax IP laws have a real chance to pull ahead with superior innovation. The only point in our favour is that poor IP property rights are linked to poor physical property rights. If the Chinese government could get the lesson through its thick skull that letting people own physical property was a good idea then they'd be completely unstoppable. But that is is a separate thing to IP law. Ditching most of IP law is a good idea.

I prefer desktop Windows programs to be gdi/win32, they are often the most thought out and optimized for actual desktop paradigms (i.e mouse+keyboard+high res screen) without giant margins, padding and whitespace everywhere and makes use of proper desktop class widgets like treeviews, listviews, tabs, etc.

I never said they can't be hired in this field. What a straw man. We can't use unlicensed technology at our companies. Period. It's not an anti-china thing (nice ad-hominem btw), it's a pro-innovation thing. Maybe you have a romantic vision of Silicon Valley from the 70s when the value was not fully recognized but in real life, attorneys make their living proving this notion wrong. Lot's of people think like you until they get a lawsuit for breach of contract or unjust enrichment. Why should one person or company get to profit individually from other peoples work who did not authorize them? That's fucking gross and here you are basically advocating for it.

Is it not obvious what the line is here? Don't give IP that isn't yours to companies that hire you. It doesn't matter if its from your memory or files that you copied and physically moved with you. This individual did not follow this obvious rule. If you can't do your job without stealing IP, then your job is criminal.

Consider using 9 years instead of 10. The reason is that if you want to transfer your domain to another registrar, it will often result in a +1 year bump because a transfer usually acts as an anticipated renew.

If your domain is already expiring in 10 years and you want to transfer out, you're stuck for a year.
That depends on whether the combination of those two tests can result in different outcomes when combined or executed in slightly different ways. You want to cover as many permutations as possible in your test automation because test automation is intended to be faster than human testing and cover repetition that humans are bad at.

To increase performance I use websockets for everything. The Google answer for maximum network speed is gRPC with protobuf. That is supposedly 10x faster than JSON over HTTP, but protobuf is a pain in the ass. The way I execute websockets is 8x faster than HTTP and more convenient. Since I am not dealing with binary transform to protobuf my websocket approach with JSON serialization might actually be faster than (or at least as fast as) the Google solution.
The relevant bit of the article, if you are not familiar with eg git bisect:

"The next day, you noticed your mistake and discovered that you deleted all users from the table instead of Alice. Unfortunately, you are not sure when exactly the query finished executing and rolling back to an arbitrary date is not an option.

Since Neon offers the ability to create point-in-time branches, you can generate a sequence of branches that include past data in chronological order between two LSNs. You can then go through this list of branches and accurately determine when the disaster occurred."

More generally a lot of recovery scenarios involve investigating to find when and what went wrong, which can be prohibitively hard with slow heavyweight timetravel mechanisms.
That is different than cloning licensed technology. No one can take your memory away but how you use it is critical. And yes you can absolutely still steal IP this way and get sued to oblivion by the owner.

NYT is not the government. It's a private business that looks at profit first, politics second, and impartial justice last if at all. The financial lure of a panel with SBF post-scandal must have been too much to resist. It's not even clear the panel (did it happen in the end? I'm not sure) would do SBF any good, given his tendency to self-incriminate. On the other hand I'm sure it was incredible for NYT ratings.

Yeah, this 100%. There's a genuine fear of government overreach/control here in the UK, and references to works like 1984 abound. That's not really a partisan thing either, you'd probably get very few people openly support the ID of a government ID card/ID system in general.

Maybe it's a trust thing. Countries where the government has made many of the right decisions and where people trust them (like Nordic and some other European countries) seem to be okay with the national ID thing, whereas companies where people fear (maybe rightly) the government screwing them over (like the UK and US) do not.
Actually, London used to have one area code, "01".

Then at some point it was split into inner & outer, and there was endless one-up-manship about whether you had an inner or outer London code. (obviously, inner London was posher)

> It lets you easily build a cross-OS app on a super optimised, stable and secure platform ... Storage is cheap, and what is 500mb when working with 4K video anyways, so optimising for size is mostly a waste of time

I get this perspective from the developer point of view, but I'm not a video editor. I'm a person who occasionally edits videos. Elsewhere in this thread I mentioned that I use vidcutter, a free and open source tool that does the same basic task. After installation it takes 14 MB on my Linux distribution (it's a 4 MB download).

The thing is, I have dozens or hundreds of tiny little utilities like this installed that make one-off tasks that I do once a month or so much easier. I can't afford for them to be Electron based on my 128 GB SSD. For people who edit videos every day it's obviously not an issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people who use tools like this don't use them every day. Maybe not even every week. All this extra space adds up.

I think, in fairness, that a lot of the anti-Electron criticism comes from Linux users like myself. Windows users expect to have everything packaged as one gigantic binary with all the dependencies. (Vidcutter is a 175 MB download on Windows.) This strikes most of us as "poorly engineered", which for some is already enough of a reason not to use something. On Linux, the norm is that distribution maintainers put together a package with the dependencies separate, and these are shared between multiple packages. Electron applications are rarely distributed this way, and that's the biggest part of the problem and the source of a lot of the bloat from a Linux user's perspective.
OP talks about centralized vs decentralized and RSS is about as decentralized as it gets to the point that it has to be literally aggregated.

We have lost the art of keeping things simple, both on the hardware and software front. We have made everything more complicated. The gains are dubious.

For example, I saw a tear-down of an old game controller. It used a parallel-to-serial chip in the controller, which is a simple commodity chip. Keyboards and mice had very simple ways to communicate with the computer. In contrast, USB is complex, probably the most complicated protocol out there. And it's only getting more complicated. If you want to communicate via USB, best use a pre-existing stack.

Communications protocols of yore were relatively stable. If they were revised, it was infrequently. Today, protocols don't really seem to be designed to be common to everyone. They're more proprietorial.
> People would have to be able to easily move between provinces for that to be true.

Not really. If a few people can move at the margin, that's enough to keep things in equilibrium. Even if no-one's moving, it still creates political pressure if one province is clearly offering better healthcare than another.

> Btw since we’re on the subject, how do Canadians mitigate the long wait for everything healthcare related? Is it common to cross the border for healthcare?

Again just assuming it works like the UK: a few people pay to go private and get treated quicker, some travel to a cheap place for the same, most people deal with it. While you hear about a handful of dramatic failures (partly since, unlike in a private system, there are many people with an incentive to publicise them), by and large the system is actually very good at prioritising the things that are actually urgent.
That's purely an optimization, though. Meaning, it would look just like this if it really was "GoL all the way down".
There are blatantly illegal things you can do in any field of work. You need to be aware of what is and isn't within the law on a loose basis yes. Even labourers on a building site have to do some training to avoid breaching health and safety legislation (or at least to minimise the companies liability when they error).

You also need to have faith in the compliance team and senior management. If your company works in legally sticky territory like crypto doubly so.

That's right. Holmes' sentencing guidelines went over the top of the scale (45/43), and the prosecution recommended a variance to lower that. The guideline calculation was 80 years.

- "Through this variance request, the government also acknowledges that the Holmes’ crimes were not motivated by a short-term desire for financial gain. Second, this recommended sentence satisfies the ‘sufficient but not greater than necessary’ standard found in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Finally, the Court will achieve the important sentencing goal of providing adequate deterrence to criminal conduct through a 15-year custodial sentence."

It becomes even weirder when you consider that big vc’s can send you business from other companies they’ve invested in, or those of their friends. Suddenly, it’s like your value just went up 10x the sales price. Basically vc’s become like market makers, and startups are somewhere in between crypto and publicly traded companies. There are key differences though, like that startups can actually create new value and bring in new money to the ecosystem, or that there are real regulations to speak of, or that vc’s are usually protected and get cashed out first. All of these things influence the real valuation.
The diatribe against capitalism is unnecessary because there is no better system. You can quote Marx's Capital all you want. I have lived the system build upon it's premises and it's the worst system possible. It destroys the human Initiative and intrinsic motivation bringing all the people to an equal poverty and apathy not an equal prosperity while the Ruling class still remains even better than the richest capitalist. And no what is often touted as it was never implemented properly is not true either. Half the world tried several forms of it's implementation, in all forms it goes against the human nature and is always destined to fail.
There is no redistribution of the Surplus value simply because the surplus vanishes whenever you try that system.

While the rising tide is not raising all ships you at least have a chance to fight to jump to another ship and not being forced to navigate the ocean using rafts.
> If it pays more to work for a crypto exchange or the next data-stalking start-up than to cure cancer then most of the knowledge people will work on them.

Curing cancer would be infinitely more profitable than yet another crypto exchange. But humans are greedy. They won't wait for the big payday when a metaphorical marshmallow is dangling in front of them. Even holding out for the rewards of a crypto exchange is more than most people can handle. Most people will indulge in the not-so-tasty treat in front of them as soon as someone offers them a mediocre job.

> Governments exists to regulate society and set rewards and punishments

That may be true of an authoritarian regime, but under democracy, as I imagine most of us here are, government does not regulate society. It regulates individuals who try go against society. Society defines expectations, government cleans up those who refuse to comply. If the general public interest turns one way government can step in to ensure that the remaining people are brought into line, but a (democratic) government will not lead the charge.

Founders all want to be a part of the company, and be involved in decision making.
Having 50 founders, would have each of them owning 2% of the company before taking on any investors, and assuming equal equity.

Taking a seed round would see their angels becoming majority share-holders.
At some point between series B and C, founders would own less than 1% of the company.

Doesn't make sense
It can be hard to do the right thing, especially if there are real-world consequences like "do this bad act or lose your job" threats.

Not everytime. There is a list of particles that we currently deem fundamental, because no one has found any structure in them. But maybe we haven't looked closely enough yet. Some entertain the idea that they consist of vibrating strings instead of structurless, pointlike particles, but then those would be fundamental.
