I take what what you've said about the journalists/investigation/lawyers at face value - fine, it's more than 'just an accusation'.

But I think what people are taking issue with is: what should private companies be allowed to do with that information?

Should his bank cancel his credit cards? Should taxis refuse service? What would 'erring on the side of caution' look like for other services?
For anything complex, for example a SaaS platform, your best bet is to build from scratch with code. The flexibility, ownership and technical viability are essential in these scenarios.

Bing is pretty damn useful these days, I've asked it random technical stuff a bunch of times and it's come back with a direct answer where Google would have me thrashing around trying to come up with the right keywords, then reading a bunch of links myself to find the answer. It's good for "I don't even know the name of the thing I'm looking for" type stuff.

Disclaimer: I haven't used Google Search much in a long while so my googlefu is weak. I can usually find what I'm looking for much quicker in DDG which I believe is mostly based on Bing web search results (as opposed to the chatbot) so I might just currently be better trained in Bing keywords?

Why would that be a problem? The tax revenue of Manhattan goes down because JP Morgan is no longer headquartered there, but Manhattan also doesn’t have to provide as many services. All of those employees who used to live in Manhattan needed roads to drive on and police patrols and tree trimming and whatever else the city of Manhattan does. That’s a lot of money that Manhattan saves by not having as many people living there.

Now all of those people are working remotely, living wherever they want to live, and are no longer forced to live in Manhattan. They no longer have to commute, so they're not adding traffic at all. They still need services, but they’re paying property taxes in whatever place they live in, so those are still paid for. In fact, the “headquarters” is really just the CEO’s house, because now _everyone_ is working remotely.

JP Morgan still needs bank branches all over the place, and some of those are in Manhattan. JP Morgan must pay the land–value tax for the land that those branches occupy, and that money pays for the city services required by the branches. They’ll still have the same number of branches before and after the move, so that won’t change.

JP Morgan still needs datacenters. The largest ones will be located where the land value is the lowest, of course. However, it will still be necessary to interconnect with multiple backbones, and the best place to do that is in the city where many companies are very close to each other. That won't change either.

I don't see how this would be a negative for anybody. People who want to live in a dense city still can. Businesses who want to operate in a dense city with lots of nearby customers will still do so, even if the land value taxes are higher; the revenue will be higher as well so it will be worth it.
I used to work in a small company that digitized paper/pdf forms. We used json schema forms in React which allowed us to recreate complicated schemas along with the conditionals to show/hide sections and do complicated calculations. The forms would be rendered on the fly based on the underlying schema.

The main customers were from the local government who wanted to digitize and increase the efficiency of dealing with some forms. I mean we are talking about forms that are 5-50 pages long with just a few people who know how everything is supposed to work. In some cases a processing of a form would be extremely expensive. The product saved a lot of public money.

But it is extremely hard to sell to such orgs, requires tight collaboration to understand all of the edge cases. Not only that but it is necessary to interact with gov before they even start a procurement process, not just because you want to increase the chances of winning but because they just do not know what is possible to begin with and how to ask for it. Also, there is some competition to outbid the others which sounds like a good thing but it also reduces the chances that a solution will be transformative as it is quite hard to spell it out what you want so that it is of good quality.

The next time you complain about poor digital services remember that it is hard to compete in that field and the cheapest almost always wins. This does not mean the best though. Also, I encourage you to try and bid on some local projects to improve our shitty old systems.

I think it's intrinsic to the problem. That 20% long tail of the customer's problem is not just different for every company, it takes a decent programmer to recognize where that border line is.

As a result these solutions work just fine until the point where they trip the user up and start repeatedly punching them in the face. The user will usually try to work around the limitations and that's when it goes really badly wrong. Often the users will blame themselves for not knowing how to progress or for creating a mess.

If your needs are simple enough you might never reach that border. It's suitable for those tasks.

It's made worse by the economic incentives of no code platforms too. They try and trap the user on their platform. So, once you reach the border line the user usually has to dump the entire app and bring in a programmer to code it all up from scratch. That makes bad workarounds that much more tempting from the user's perspective and thus that's how the no code solution dumpster fires are born.

The Brand allegations came after a thoroughly researched traditional media investigation.

The only part of this which is "trial by social media" is Brand's choice of venue to deny them. I'm not sure any principle of jurisprusdence involves social media being obliged to subsidise his denials by wrapping unwilling advertisers around them and sending him a cut.

I'm surprised to hear that. As far as I know, the US doesn't have anything quite as ridiculous as this particular thing, at least not for something routine as moving to a new house.

The last time I had to visit a government office for something routine... well, I actually don't recall when that last was. Most things are done online, with only a small a few requiring me to mail something out as well.

I guess this is also location dependent; a small US town probably has less digitization than a large US city.

You're right, of course.

But standards bodies also sabotage their own work when there's no security relevance (USB's dozens of options with impenetrable names like "USB 3.2 Gen 2×2")

And the US DoD reportedly loves Trusted Platform Modules, so presumably if the US intervened at all it was to improve the spec - and yet it's got more holes than swiss cheese.
UB is a property of standard. GCC implements plenty of deviations from standard. Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's explicitly documented.

I'd even argue that defined behaviour is a subset of undefined behaviour. So I'd value compiler options to force well defined and "expected" behaviour instead of the current insanity.

Clang "optimized" away empty loop. My MCU gets locked because of it. I have to write `b .` with assembly, because C can't cut it. It is insanity.

- developer time is approximately fungible with money
- project delivery is building a thing, that you own, and that has value, and that you will use to produce other value...
- ...which can therefore be entered on the balance sheet.

I've just left a company a little after it floated. In the run-up to the float, we were directed to maximise our capital time logged. That meant any kind of feature delivery. Bugfixes were opex.

I believe this was done to grow the balance sheet and maximise market cap.

As is usually the case with these "sex pest" witch hunts, these claims require traversing several layers of hyperlinks and "someone told me" just to find a vague claim of "I just find him creepy (in a way that I can't describe!)", which seems to simply mean "dares to exist and talk while awkward and unattractive". Flirting is also not bad behavior, how else would relationships form without someone indicating interest first?

Its more complex than that. The issue is that we are outside of the customs union, so building stuff outside and re-importing it (as in multiple factories specialising all over continental europe) becomes expensive in paper work, even though there may not be specific import taxes. Paper work in shipping takes time, money and a bunch of people to do, it makes everything much more expensive.
Sole reason for his political pivot: he knew the centrists and left wing people would let him be thrown under the bus if any of this came to light, but his new audience would think it some deep state lie that if anything proves Brand is even more truthful than they'd previously assumed.
IMHO, it IS premature if you believe he has some inalienable right to be on Youtube, he hasn't been convicted of anything yet, these are only allegations. Yet, it's a company doing it, and they aren't bound by any "must-be-convicted-1st" rules, they can just block someone for any reason, they ( and other companies ) do it all the time, and in this case it's probably "better safe than sorry" type of risk management.
Unity and XNA, but mostly Unity.

Unity used Xamarin to target iOS and Android, so this meant using C#. As Unity's popularity grew, so did the use of C# in gamedev.

XNA was a very well-designed game framework (not engine) that allowed many people to get into indie gamedev without learning C/C++ and SDL or OpenGL. Java had nothing comparable, libGDX was released only in 2014. If you followed one of the indie stars and tried to emulate them, you were quite likely to learn XNA or one of its reimplementations.
> A builder looks at this and will simply build the same home elsewhere, and sell it for a 100K more.

The obvious solution is for the government to subsidize housing. If the government puts 100K in towards the cost of building a house, then that developer can walk away with the same amount of money because it cost them 100k less to build.

> But don't nuke anyone before the court says "guilty."

Well - up to a point. I certainly don't think we should lock up Mr. Brand unless he's found guilty in a court of law.

However, there is quite reasonable circumstantial evidence that he's guilty - five or six serious allegations from independent women, which multiple news organisations have assessed and found credible.

There's also been a fresh look at his behaviour with activities which I don't believe have been contested - like having an affair with a 16-year old when he was 30. He doesn't need to be found guilty for advertisers to decide that kind of odious behaviour is something that they don't want to be associated with.

What's the alternative? Legally force YouTube to give him a platform and lose revenue?
This has nothing to do with "trial". It's YouTube's platform, and YouTube as a company can decide who they want to do business with and who not.

You explicitly agree to their TOS and TOU when signing up, and if you violate them (as determined by YouTube themselves!) you're out.

tl;dr: nothing to see here, move along...
Halo was for the most part handled in house by MS owned studios, either Bungie or 343. Not really any different than how Nintendo handles Metroid Prime or Mario.

Nintendo seems to be a better guiding hand when working with external studios. Look at Silicon Knights output when partnering with Nintendo vs. MS for example. Or well, Rare for that matter.
> Use and subsequent abuse of power is a fundamental human trait.

yes, and worse: people who want physical power over others will seek out lines of work where they can do this. A police force will never be free of the concern that it is attractive to abusers. It will have to be managed always.

Maybe this abuse of power falls under the umbrella of corruption but IMHO it's a very different thing to "corrupt" practices such as e.g. taking a bribe, or giving the mayor's son a free pass for speeding. Calling these abusers "corrupt officers" seems disingenuous.
In many other languages, w is pronounced like a v and in some cases even named "double vee".

> e.g. say this sentence "uorld uar tuo uas the uorst"

This doesn't work with the English pronunciations of the letter u from words like "uninteresting" or "mumble". It mostly seems to work with the pronunciation of "you", which does not naturally fit those letter placements.

Not knowing the proper linguistic terms, I'd consider "w" to be a modulation of a another sounding vowel by closing your lips and pressing your tongue a bit down to make room. Without a vowel to modulate, there is no sound, and so "mwmbl" is a bit of a question mark.

But most words require prior knowledge to pronounce correctly, especially in as messy a language as English.

The reason I wrote my remark is the relatively recent uptick in "in nature everything always changed regardless of whether we exist, therefore we're absolved from everything that's happening with the biosphere"-style arguments.

Obviously on the face of it the premise is true, but time scales, operationalisation and causes/responsibilities matter critically there.

Islands of stability exist (like our homeostatic bodies, species that have survived for millions of years, old growth forests, etc) in nature. But whether one cares about (not unnecessarily, prematurely ending) any of this is a very different matter.
