Doesn't that sound like stratifying society a bit? I don't have a lot of faith in interopability mixing well with profit incentives.

The petrodollar and the dollar's globalization seem like the tipping points.

If either of those substantially changes, the US budget to inflation link becomes very different, because there won't be external sinks to soak up extra dollars.

Globalization will change on glacial timescales. And the alternatives don't look great: Euro (economic concerns), yen (economic concerns), yuan (economic and political concerns), ruble (economic and political and sanctions concerns), rupee (maybe if SE Asia gets its economic integration in order), naira (would need scale from other major African economies)

Oil being sunset is going to be fascinating macroeconomically, as a huge part of the US' world economic power flows through Saudi Arabia.

It's pretty standard policy in most retail places.

Stories abound of staff at Walmart and Target being fired for attempting to enforce store shoplifting policies (https://www.ksl.com/article/14319284/4-walmart-employees-fir...). Broadly speaking, the risk of injury to other employees and customers, the risk of lawsuit if their staff misinterpret the law in the moment and overstep the authority each state gives them (a patchwork of law that stores are not interested in training its staff on), and mostly, the risk of brand harm if these stores gain a reputation for being a place where fights break out between employees and the public, regardless of reason, are far costlier than the opportunity cost of being unable to sell lossage.

Instead, companies just track lossage and sales, and if a given neighborhood proves to have too many shoplifters, they pull up stakes and close the store.
> Making GC/goroutine optional & customizable requires building a std works with no GC/goroutine.

Isn’t there a big difference between customizable, ie changing the runtime backend, vs NO runtime where goroutines and GC don’t work at all? In the latter case, you’d have to write very different, restricted Go code, no? And you’d even have to add some new features for manual memory reclaim?

The Fairphone company's primary focus is on fair hardware: supply-chain ethical materials sourcing & fair factory wages. Software "fairness" is very much a secondary focus, so while they're open to de-Googling it's not something they actively support or commit resources to. e.g. The warranty is temporarily invalidated by installing a de-Googled OS but can be "restored" by re-installing Android.

They do however partner witht another company - Murena - to offer deGoogled phones[0]. They have a full breakdown of it here[1]

Correct, and the point is that you don't achieve that by restricting cars. You do by moving those services nearer to people.

I don't understand these sorts of responses. There's a world of difference between a device that could be abused to spy on people and a device that is designed and intended to do so.

Also, just because there are existing ways to do the Bad Thing doesn't mean we should accept new ways of doing the Bad Thing. Particularly when the existing ways have enough friction that they require someone to intentionally decide to spy, rather than accidentally doing so.
I wonder what years your first sentence was true.

My grandparents got an iphone like 5 years ago, and its been a nightmare to deal with. I don't have one because of the security issues(Pegasus), so walking through my grandparents to download an app is brutal. 'Do you see anywhere it says download? Get? Install? Are there any colored buttons centered on the page'

I can't remember what the actual word to install was, but grandparents couldnt figure it out. Ended up having my teenage cousins install it.
The dissuasive value of death penalty have already been discussed a lot, but the discussion that immediately come to mind is the eloquent speech given by the French ministrer of justice (Robert Badinter) when they abolished death penalty in 1981 (if you speak French, have a listen; it's one of the great speeches).

The arguments were:

- There's no correlation between death penalty abolition and a reduction or increase in criminality curve

- The most death penalty-able crimes are crimes of passion or folly. People are not rational actors in these case, and have a death penalty

- "Cold-blooded" criminal (trafficker, pimp, maffiosi and such) would never put themselves in a situation where they could get death penalty

- "Criminal passion are no less stopped by the fear of death than other more noble passion. If the fear of death would dissuade people to act, then we would have neither great soldiers nor great sportmen. We admire them, but they do not hesitate in face of death. Nor will other people, taken by other passions. It's only for death penalty that we think that death will prevent people in their most extreme passions. This is not true."
Oracle cloud are one of the worst cloud providers out there from my experience, I wanted to give it a try a couple weeks ago, and after going through the signup process and adding the payment method, phone number, etc., I kept getting an error message, so I sent email to the customer support, and after days I received this short text: “Unfortunately, we are unable to resolve this or process the transaction. This is all the information we can provide.” That’s it.. there’s no way I will trust such a cloud provider with anything production with such horrible support.

> I don't understand why freedom of speech is such exception that it has no restriction.

I think most people are afraid where the restriction will be placed if those in power decided. For example, as a sort of weird and contradictory but illustrative example, what if I had power over you and dictated you aren’t allowed to question having restrictions because that’s dangerous to the idea of free speech. You might want to point out how that’s hypocritical, stupid, and contradictory but I have police powers and can arrest you. Some linguists believe then that eventually the idea atrophies after generations are not allowed to discuss it their thought process changes to be incapable of questioning it.

Questioning things and being able to freely explain why you are questioning them is why it’s considered so important. It allows people to change each other’s minds in both directions based on who has the most persuasive argument rather than who has the biggest stick.

It seems to me that a system like that is fundamentally incompatible with justice, regardless of what punishments are applied.

There is no way to correct a mistake that deprives a human being of years of liberty, either. If anything I find it more horrifying that we're willing to say, "Eh, at least you're alive", at apparently leave it at that.

I'm not calling for infinite appeals and suchlike denial-of-service attacks on the courts. But it seems that we've simply written off the notion of being just entirely, and the highest court in the land seems comfortable with that.

D is a beautiful language.

However, its embrace in the 1990's of garbage collection has proved its Achilles heel. Before anyone says you can write D without the garbage collection, yes you can but then you lose access to most of the standard library, and likely most third party libraries. Rust and C++ allow you not to have to use garbage collection but still use the standard library and 3rd party libraries.

With garbage collection, D is not directly competing not with C++ but with Java, Swift, Go, C# which have far more support across the industry.
It's like bittorrent (for sending chunks between peers) + DHT (for discovering which peers have which chunks) + magnet links (to identify files based on a hash of their chunks).

It's unlike bittorrent in that there are no '.torrent' files (only content hashes), no trackers, and chunks are global/pooled/shared (i.e. they're not specific to the file they came from).

The crypto bullshit is "filecoin", which tries to incentivise people to host other people's stuff. It can be safely ignored (I certainly do).

> I do think your piece reads as entitled and ignorant, and you should give it a rewrite with a better understanding that you are addressing a community, not a company.

I think your comments read as obtuse and ignorant. They smack of false dichotomies, as if any criticism of Mastodon is support of Twitter, kind of like the attitude that any criticism of Apple is support of Google, or any criticism of Democrats is support of Republicans. Your very first comment above: "The experimental platform with no VC funding whatsoever messed up, I'm going back to the fascist wasteland that is trying to juice me for money by showing me enraging content." Whereas my article had nothing whatsoever to do with Twitter, which wasn't even mentioned, and which I already left permanently. Also, Mastodon is not "experimental". It's more than 7 years old now.

Kind of off-topic-but-not: A few years ago I got into watches. I don't know how it happened, but I now have four watches! Have to stop myself buying more, because I can always rationalise it ("well, you were different ones depending on your mood, wardrobe, and the event"). My automatic watch is my favourite. The technology in it is amazing, and it's what, over 100 years old?

One watch I got rid of immediately was my first generation Apple watch. I felt it was a completely useless piece of crap.
I have a watch so that I can tell time without needing to access a device that is carefully tuned to draw my attention (especially if I'm in a situation where pulling out my phone would be rude or intrusive).

You could collapse all those to communication - apart from talent availability.

So remote working increases talent availability and increases communication overhead ( through one mechanism or another - language, timezone, shared culture ).

So the right balance then depends on how important communication is for the particular role versus talent, factored by how good the talent is at communicating.

One of the things I've heard about remote working is it helps people stay focused on task and hence be productive. These people like the reduction in communication ( noise ).

The other side I've heard is that it atomises the organisation to those headline tasks, but loses the element of the sum being greater than the whole - the stuff that happens off task.

If you truly believe in remote working, then you could argue that companies shouldn't exist in terms of perm employees - you contract everything out on a per task basis.

The idea of minimising communication overhead being central to the existence of companies comes from the work of Ronald Coase. eg
